You Seattle has officially moved to abolish their entire police
tim pool
force a day after they announced they have Announced they uncovered explosives from the rioters
A cop had an explosive land on his knee and had to be rushed to the hospital.
And of course, now's the perfect time to abolish their police.
But I can't say I'm surprised.
We've got a big slew of hypocrisy.
And there's some other crazy news too, I guess.
Voters According to Rasmussen, some people don't trust Rasmussen,
that's fine.
50% of registered voters believe that politicians in big cities and journalists,
reporters, are actually making the violence worse.
adam crigler
That makes me feel so much better knowing that.
tim pool
That a lot of people feel that way.
adam crigler
Yeah, I mean, and they don't specify, like, right, left, whoever, Democrat, Republican.
Just 50% of everybody thinks that they're making it worse.
tim pool
They are.
adam crigler
I agree, they are.
tim pool
Well, it's because they support the protests, and they cover for them.
So it's a really interesting thing that's going on right now.
I mean, with Seattle, it's crazy because they just had riots, and now they think it's appropriate to be like, let's abolish the police!
We are living under the rule of far-left fringe extremists.
And I started to wonder, because I was reading this article from the Wall Street Journal that said, aside from the two 49 state landslides over the past, you know, 100 years or whatever, or not 100, but like 80, They said, Democrats have claimed every single election was illegitimate.
adam crigler
Of course.
tim pool
Except for the two landslides, and it's because the two landslides, they can't claim that.
It's like, dude, the Republican won every state.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
So that makes me wonder if what happens is, you have this period where the silent majority is just chilling because everything is good, and even when the far left does crazy stuff, they're like, well, you know, it's...
It's still all good.
And then it gets so crazy at some point, the silent majority wakes up, they all vote, landslide, boom, Republican, knock it all down, and then kind of level things back out.
adam crigler
Yeah, I sense it.
tim pool
Well, based on what we're seeing with the UK last year, you know, the polls could be meaningless.
I mean, there was a ridiculous victory for the Conservatives in the UK back in December.
We theoretically follow suit.
I mean, that's what happened with Brexit.
Well, we got some other big news.
The Antifa White Knight guy who was defending Naked Athena?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They got him.
They got him.
He's the guy who threw the explosive the U.S.
Attorney in Oregon has announced.
They got him.
He's being arrested.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, what's going on over there?
Oh, the cat's freaking out.
And Trump, and we'll save this one probably for last, but man, Trump just slapped China straight across the face.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So he did a couple things.
He's forcing, he's given an ultimatum basically, sort of.
He wants China to divest from their interests in TikTok.
So they've got to sell to Microsoft.
Well, they're going to sell to a US interest, I suppose.
Microsoft might buy it.
I'm not a big fan of emboldening these big tech giants, you know?
And I think Microsoft is definitely interested because it'll give them power in the social media market.
But if it gets Chinese spying out of there, you know, maybe that's a good thing, huh?
adam crigler
Yeah, I could see the benefits of it.
tim pool
The other big thing is, this is huge.
Trump issued major sanctions against the Xinjiang... What is it?
Well, let me make sure I can get the name right.
It's the XPCC.
It's the Xinjiang Paramilitary... What is it?
Production and Construction Corps.
So this is a massive economic force in Xinjiang, in China, which is responsible, they say, for a lot of the ethnic cleansing genocide against the Uyghur Muslims.
So this is a big deal.
This is Trump.
He basically slapped him across the face.
And now a lot of news outlets are saying China's gonna be pissed.
So, I'm happy, man.
I mean, it's never a good thing when you're inching towards war, you know?
But this may theoretically put economic pressure on them that allows us to avoid war and still deal with the problem of what is going on with the Uighur Muslims.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Because we can't just sit back.
We actually have a big super chat from somebody already asking, like, why should we care about this?
You know, why should I care if there are Christians being persecuted in other parts of the planet?
And it's a really, really good point.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
So I guess the answer only is, it's not so much about, you know, one being more important than the other.
I guess I'd put it like this.
China poses a serious existential threat to us and to many other countries, and they have concentration camps.
So it's like, you know, you add all these things together, and it's not just about one group of people that are being oppressed or persecuted by China.
It's also, we face a serious threat from this country and sanctions do more than just try and stop the genocide, you know?
Well, how about we talk about what's going on with this year's Seattle Police Department.
However, if you haven't already, make sure you... Smash that like button.
adam crigler
Smash it.
Come on.
For me.
Not him.
Or her.
Just me.
tim pool
Smash it.
Just Adam, not the rest of us.
adam crigler
Um, you know what?
Alright, if you want to smash it for them, I'll be okay.
I'm not upset if you do.
But... Smash it for me.
I mean, come on, smash it!
tim pool
Smash the like button!
adam crigler
30k, 30k likes, that's the deal.
I switch beanies.
tim pool
You'll put the beanie on at 30k likes?
It's at 30k.
Adam is saying right now, if we hit 30,000 likes, he will put on the MAGA beanie.
adam crigler
Yep, it's true.
So I'll be jamming over there with the MAGA beanie.
tim pool
30k likes, though.
Also, we're going to be jamming out later tonight.
It's Friday night, so we kind of just chill, dim the lights a little bit, put on some music.
adam crigler
We could dim the lights.
We haven't taken advantage of that.
tim pool
Yeah, we can just literally tell it what to do.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
It's just voice activated.
So, uh, how about you guys smash the like button, hit the notification bell, subscribe, and share the podcast if you like it, and we're gonna talk to you about what's going on with Seattle.
We got this story from Town Hall.
Seattle moves to abolish entire police force.
I noticed that they added a little editorialization here.
Insane!
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
I would argue that's a fact.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Finally some good reporting.
tim pool
There you go.
They say, well it may be time to deploy the military to Seattle after all, because of what local lawmakers are doing is nothing short of allowing the city to be engulfed in violence and anarchy, they're moving to abolish the police.
It's not defunding, it's a total dissolution.
Non-profit programs and community-led activities will replace policing.
Why?
Well, according to the resolution, the Seattle Police Department perpetuates racism and violence.
Oh yes, and it's a vehicle of white supremacy.
It's typical woke nonsense, and it's a cancer that's killing America.
So I'll pull up this tweet from Christopher Ruffo, breaking Seattle City Council, moves to abolish the entire police department and replace it with a civilian-led department of community safety and violence prevention.
lydia smith
Oh boy.
tim pool
You know what this is?
This is like, you've got people ready to stab each other, and someone arguing that a calm conversation, a glass of hot cocoa will make everything all better.
adam crigler
Yeah, I see it more like, you have terminal cancer, alright?
And chemo, we might be able to help you with chemo.
But instead of doing chemo, let's just exercise and eat healthy.
tim pool
That's actually a really good point.
That's exactly what it is.
I know.
It's the Steve Jobs cure.
He got pancreatic cancer and he was like, I know, I'll eat a bunch of fruit.
And then he died.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
This is what this is.
You know what, man?
I'll tell you what.
They complain about QAnon.
They complain about right wing conspiracy theories and Alex Jones, and they ban them all.
And then they let the left wing conspiracy theories run rampant.
And this is what you get.
This is the crystal healing version of policing.
They're going to have people coming out.
How much you want to bet the community led violence prevention people will be wearing crystals?
adam crigler
I don't know.
All I know is it just feels like every criminal in this country is going to be like, oh, open game.
It's open season on Seattle.
tim pool
Wow, man.
Time to go to Seattle.
adam crigler
What are they going to do?
Let's talk.
Let's talk this out.
They had a warlord in Seattle.
A warlord.
And that was with the police.
What do you think is going to happen when there's no police?
tim pool
Some dude in Seattle is going to be like, wow, no police?
He's going to walk outside with a gun and go bang, bang, bang.
Look at me.
I'm the police now.
adam crigler
This is my block now.
tim pool
What are they going to do with community?
You know what?
It really is the, like, it's the coffee enema fruit cure for cancer.
I'm not making that up.
That's a real thing.
adam crigler
That's what I'm saying.
They're getting rid of the medicine for crime and just going right to, like, what causes crime?
Let's just talk to everybody.
It's like, well, crime's not going to just disappear.
It still exists.
And in fact, Criminals that are there, out in the world, they're gonna flock to Seattle because there's no police to stop them.
Or to investigate things that have actually happened.
My goodness.
tim pool
So this website's not loading all too well, but let's see if I can pull up Rufo's, Christopher Rufo's thread.
He says, in the proposed legislation, the council argues the Seattle Police Department perpetuates racism and violence and upholds white supremacy culture.
adam crigler
Where are they getting that information from?
tim pool
It's Smithsonian.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the police have schedules.
They work hard.
adam crigler
They work before play.
Yep.
That's a good point.
tim pool
They believe in time.
adam crigler
Well, they did take that down, that map of what whiteness is.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
So maybe they were backtracking?
tim pool
Yeah, but they still believe that stuff.
adam crigler
I know they do, you're right.
tim pool
They're getting rid of it because they realize regular people thought it was crazy.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
He says, the council endorses the decriminalized Seattle agenda that would replace the police force with culturally relevant expertise rooted in community connections, housing, food security, and other basic needs.
So, socialism.
adam crigler
Right there.
unidentified
Huh.
tim pool
Trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis.
adam crigler
What?
lydia smith
Whoa.
Word selling.
What?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Help, 911, I have an emergency.
What do you need?
I need trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis.
Oh my God, they're on their way.
What does that even mean?
adam crigler
Why couldn't, my question with all this stuff, why couldn't they just have introduced all this stuff
with the police?
Like, what is it?
Like, why don't they, like, community, bring community together?
That sounds great!
It's like, I mean, I don't know about that last bit, but, I mean, getting rid of police completely sounds insane, like the beginning of that article that was talking about it.
tim pool
You ever watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
adam crigler
I've seen a few episodes.
tim pool
Yeah, there's one where they start taking.
I can't remember which characters have been a long time since I watched, but they try to get healthy.
And so two of the characters have taken a have been taking a ton of supplements.
OK, and then one's like so I think it's Dennis is like, how are you feeling?
And the other character is like, I've been feeling pretty sick.
I've been getting like, you know, diarrhea a lot.
Oh, that's you're flushing the toxins out.
Me, I'm so efficient.
I haven't taken a dump in days.
The point is, they view the police as the toxins.
And I've talked to a lot of people who believe in weird, hippie, conspiratorial medicines and stuff, and their attitude very much so is like, there's no way to be wrong.
So in this regard, it's like...
No, the police, man.
They're the problem.
Okay, well, how are you going to deal with this?
No, no, you don't understand.
They are the problem, no matter what you say, no matter what you do.
adam crigler
No, no, no.
Saying that you can never be wrong is the problem.
unidentified
Right.
adam crigler
That is an issue.
Everyone can be wrong.
I can be wrong.
I don't mind being proven wrong because that makes me realize That I was wrong and now I can be right instead.
I would much rather be right than wrong.
My goodness.
This is for the people asking.
A lot of people were asking what praxis is.
I got the definition here.
It says praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realized.
Cool.
Does that help?
tim pool
I think I've got to issue a title correction real quick.
They move to abolish.
I think that's different from votes to abolish.
So in all fairness, I will issue that live correction right now just in case because it may actually be They've proposed the abolishment.
adam crigler
OK, so it's like what's going on in California with, you know, affirmative action.
They've moved to put it on the bill or, you know, on the voting pallet so people can vote for it.
So they haven't actually voted to abolish the police department yet.
unidentified
That sounds right.
Okay.
tim pool
Well, to put it on the docket.
resolution they've put forward so far.
But they've already expressed they have a veto-proof majority to...
adam crigler
Well, to put it on the docket.
tim pool
No, no, no. The city council is going to confirm it.
Then, however it goes through...
adam crigler
Don't the people still vote on it?
tim pool
I don't believe so. In Minneapolis, they didn't.
adam crigler
Oh, man.
tim pool
I'm pretty sure the city council just says, like, boop.
adam crigler
Okay, that's scary.
tim pool
Maybe not.
I don't know, I could be wrong.
adam crigler
It's just a calling card for criminals that want to just go... I mean, what are they gonna do?
tim pool
It reminds me of like... It's crazy.
adam crigler
The thought of having no police is not a place I want to live in.
tim pool
It's utopian thinking, man.
adam crigler
Well, what do they think?
That everyone wants to live peacefully?
Because that's not the case.
There's always going to be people that would rather just take your stuff than go work for their own stuff.
tim pool
What's that- there's that viral meme about putting the shopping cart back?
adam crigler
It was like- Yes.
I remember this.
tim pool
Yeah, there's like a meme that goes around where it's basically saying that the shopping cart is the true test for a civilization.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Because you're- you're rewarded nothing for doing it.
It's not- so you go to the- you go to the store, you get your shopping cart, you go to your car, you load your car up, and then there's the- the cart corral.
adam crigler
Yeah, a few cars down.
tim pool
You look at your cart, And you look at the corral and then you kick the cart and it just goes off and crashes somewhere and you get in your car and you leave.
That's the point.
It's like, you could very easily just do the little bit of extra work to put the cart away, yet still the parking lot is littered with carts.
adam crigler
People like to compare us to Sweden and talk about Sweden.
It's like, I've been shopping.
I've been to grocery stores in Sweden.
Not one cart is out into anywhere.
They all go back to the same spot, in the spot.
It's just like, there's a general respect for society.
Well, that doesn't exist here.
And they're trying to make a socialist city work.
Well, that doesn't work if everyone isn't on the same page.
tim pool
Exactly.
That's the grand experiment.
Sweden has, they've got border restrictions to varying degrees, I'd imagine.
adam crigler
Yeah, in some senses.
tim pool
When I was trying to go from Denmark to Sweden years ago, they stopped and checked my passport.
adam crigler
Yeah, they do that still.
Yeah.
tim pool
And I also imagine if you flew in there, they'd stop and check your passport.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Which means they keep some people out, I would imagine.
adam crigler
I'm sure they do, yeah.
tim pool
So if you live in the United States, and you don't live in Seattle, and they announce they're giving away free stuff, and there's no police, What's to stop you from flying 4,000 miles from, you know, the furthest point in the States, all the way to this other place you've never been to, you don't know anybody, you're not a part of the community, to get that free stuff?
adam crigler
Well, I mean, I think about the homeless problem in America, which is a problem.
There are many homeless people in many cities.
Why wouldn't they want to go to Seattle then?
tim pool
They do.
adam crigler
I know.
They love it.
tim pool
That's my point.
I briefly lived in Seattle.
I knew a bunch of these rail hopper dudes.
So they would hop the freight trains and ride through the country to various areas where they knew they would get free stuff.
adam crigler
Well, Seattle's very quickly going to become a hotspot for exactly that.
What did they do, Chaz?
Within three days, they were like, all of our food got taken from the homeless people that bombarded our camp.
tim pool
I don't think that was real.
adam crigler
You don't think that was real?
tim pool
I mean, the over-the-top tweet was, I believe, not real.
I believe they did have serious problems.
adam crigler
I think so too.
I mean, look in New York.
Look at the New York Chaz that happened.
Why did he take it down?
His exact words were, it's more homeless people than protesters now.
tim pool
The New York Times said that.
It's just a homeless camp now because the activists left and the homeless took over.
It's just homeless people.
adam crigler
So the city of Seattle is doomed.
That's all I see now.
tim pool
There's also a homeless camp in Philadelphia that was set up as like a Chaz kind of thing.
And then the homeless came in and they were like, well, we're not leaving until they all get houses.
Yeah, something like that, like places to live.
But with what's going on in Seattle, we're going to see this.
I'm willing to bet we're going to see it everywhere.
And it's funny how they desperately try to have, you know, Joe Biden is trying so hard to be both the
I'm not for defunding the police and I am by using duplicitous language.
adam crigler
Like a true Democrat.
tim pool
Should we reallocate funds away from police?
Yes, absolutely!
Should we defund the police?
Well, Joe Biden never said that.
You're right.
You're literally correct.
He didn't literally say that.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
But he explained what defund the police was.
adam crigler
Well, I mean, they're actually abolishing it here.
That's the plan anyway, I guess, right?
tim pool
And I want to show you a picture that exemplifies why that's so amazing.
It's a picture of a bunch of explosives.
lydia smith
Huh.
tim pool
Mayor Jenny Durkan is asking for peace and an end to violence and vandalism.
This does not get us closer to justice.
I'm sorry, man.
At this point, I just got to say I have no sympathy for people who live in Seattle.
lydia smith
I think I have a theory, if you'll bear with me for a moment.
tim pool
Yes, what is the theory?
lydia smith
So I think the common thread that runs through this utopian ideal is the idea that people are basically good and that you can talk them out of crime.
And I don't think it's true.
I don't think people are basically good.
I think it's a Rousseauian idea that has been disproven a long time ago.
It's not culture that makes people bad.
People are generally not good.
adam crigler
No, I disagree.
I think the general amount of people are good.
But in places like this, the people that aren't good are going to flock there.
It's like a moth to the flame.
It's the open season on this area because there's no cops.
So I can't get in trouble if I go do some crime there and rob people or whatever I want to do.
lydia smith
But the fact that the criminals are out there and that they're planning on coming there is, and Seattle thinks that they can just kind of talk them out of it, is just kind of idealistic to me.
adam crigler
It's utopian.
tim pool
Yeah, that's true.
adam crigler
But saying that most people are not good, I will never agree with that.
tim pool
Well, I don't think it's a matter of good or evil.
I think it's a matter of survival.
adam crigler
Okay, I can see that.
tim pool
I'm not gonna blame the lion for eating a gazelle.
Like, that evil lion just killed that gazelle!
adam crigler
Yeah, but that's not really comparable.
I mean, we are humans.
We're the ones who declare what good and bad is.
So, a lion killing and eating a gazelle is just the natural process.
That lion's not, I'm killing this gazelle and taking its wallet.
tim pool
And when killing it to eat it because it's natural and when somebody takes
advantage of another person to enrich themselves or better, you know, you know,
strength like to give themselves access to resources or power or to benefit.
It is, it is someone, you know, preying upon somebody else.
So it's, it's an issue of good or bad.
It's an issue of stability, access to resources, but there are even people who
don't need things who would still, you know, target assault, steal, rob, or
otherwise the dip.
What we're seeing here with, like, Seattle, is you've got a hen house, you've got foxes running around, and they're like, maybe if we open the door and let the foxes in, everything will be alright.
Sure.
So, it's like... Great.
adam crigler
Have fun with that.
tim pool
Right, right.
I think it's fair to say because we're humans, we have a perspective on what we think is like appropriate human behavior.
Like if a dude comes in and robs a bank, that's bad, obviously.
You know?
So the issue is, that person is, you know, seeking to, you know, ransack and steal and loot.
Do we open the door for them?
Or do we put guards in front of it and say, sorry bro, you can't come in here and steal our money from our bank?
adam crigler
Well, that's the messed up part, because that's not even what cops do.
Oh, what cops do are posted at banks.
But for the most part, they show up after the fact to see what happened, and they're not there to prevent crime.
I mean, in a sense, they are, because their simple presence stops people from doing it, because they know that they're there, and they will get in trouble for it.
tim pool
So what do you think happens when you repeatedly tell people of low cognitive function that all police are bad, and that all they do is violently beat random people and
then these people come to believe it.
I will tell you something. I have a tweet for all of you. I believe this tweet shows an example of
people who clearly don't know what it is police do. Yep.
Here's the tweet from a Twitter user with the name Abolish Police. I've
I was just assaulted by this man on Sunrise and Gold Center.
He tried to break my car window, grabbed me out of the car, hit me, and spit on me.
He followed me to my work and threatened to kill me.
Please help me identify him so I can press charges and file a restraining order.
Gee, I wonder who will enforce such orders and help you file such charges.
adam crigler
Oh man, that's embarrassing.
tim pool
It's kind of like you were saying about getting rid of chemo, but it's actually more interesting than that.
It would be like walking into a hospital and complaining about one doctor who's got a malpractice lawsuit and demanding we abolish all hospitals.
Yep, I agree.
It's like, our hospitals across this country service millions upon millions of individuals every single month across the country.
And there were nine instances where a doctor accidentally dropped a junior mint into a person while he was getting surgery.
Abolish all hospitals.
Abolish all doctors.
All of them gotta go!
adam crigler
Hey, hold on.
Have you ever... Has that happened?
tim pool
The junior mint thing?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Josh Seinfeld.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
It was, uh... That's a great reference, though.
tim pool
Do you know the episode?
adam crigler
No.
tim pool
Like, Kramer is, like, looking down and he's eating junior mint and then one falls and... Oh, yeah.
adam crigler
They're up on the, like, the balcony thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, I do remember that.
tim pool
A junior mint falls in.
Oh, no.
How stupid does that sound?
unidentified
Sounds pretty bad.
tim pool
Now hold on, now hold on.
Now what if someone said, you know what?
We do have doctors.
Now here's where it really does get interesting.
We have doctors that provide service to millions upon millions of people per month.
You know, I don't even know how many people per year actually go see doctors.
adam crigler
Yeah, who knows?
tim pool
Would it be crazy to call for medical reform because nine people had botched surgeries and died?
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
I don't think so.
adam crigler
I agree.
I don't think so.
tim pool
Like, what are we doing?
I mean, actually, I think a review might make sense.
Like, well, nine people shouldn't have died.
We should review those cases and figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen ever again.
adam crigler
They do.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
Newsflash.
They do.
And to bring it back to what you're actually talking about, even the cops that do that, they do that.
There is a review.
So that actually happens already.
tim pool
So you know what the problem ends up becoming?
There are absolutely instances where police abused their power.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Chicago.
I was reading this story from Fox 32.
One of their units was literally committing home invasions.
They disbanded the unit.
That's the least they could have done.
adam crigler
Right?
tim pool
So the problems exist.
And there are dirty doctors.
You know, they issue fake prescriptions.
They get people hooked on opiates, all that stuff.
They get arrested.
It's already illegal.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
Now, I understand, in this analogy, the challenges that who polices the police, right?
You've got internal affairs, and there's still politics involved, so there can be some challenges that I get.
adam crigler
And the fact that, like, a bad cop can get fired, and just go four counties down, get a job at a different place, and they'll take him on, like, yep, oh, you're a cop, alright, cool, no worries, we got you.
tim pool
That's arguably true for any industry.
adam crigler
That's a good point, you're right.
tim pool
Like, look at journalists.
adam crigler
Well, I mean, that's an issue, though.
That's something that we should look at, and that does need to be changed.
tim pool
A journalist say, let's say hypothetically there was a guy who worked for BuzzFeed News, and he wrote a bunch of fake stories about people associated with anti-SJWs, anti-feminism, or conservatism, and he lied about them left and right to damage their careers and get them banned from YouTube.
Then imagine he got hired by the Financial Times and was caught spying on another newsroom and was forced to resign over it.
A guy like that could simply go to another outlet and find a new job.
That's a real story.
Sure could, yeah.
We see it all the time.
So are we going to call for a journalism reform now?
Not one journalist will.
I guarantee you that.
adam crigler
I would love a journalist reform.
I would love some sort of something to curb them in.
I know, we talk about it.
Freedom of speech.
People need to choose who they listen to.
tim pool
It's also private industry.
So I don't know how you actually deal with that stuff.
But I will point out If we think that there's going to be a certain margin of failure for any industry, even police, the problem becomes
What's appropriate?
You know, if one person out of the 300 million interactions with police dies because a cop did wrong, do we need to abolish all of the police?
No, that's literally insane.
Do we need police reform?
I mean, if there's one guy?
No, I think we arrest the cop who abused his power and killed the guy.
You know, maybe, and we do an internal review as to how it happened and try and make sure it doesn't happen again.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But what happens when you end up with something like Ferguson, hands up, don't shoot, where it literally turns out never happened?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
What happens when you get people who riot for actual criminals, which has happened all the time?
adam crigler
True.
tim pool
You know, they talk about Black Lives Matter, but one thing that often doesn't get brought up is that although we can agree that George Floyd shouldn't have died, What about the people in Seattle, uh, not Seattle, I'm sorry, St.
Louis, and other places, not Michael Brown, there were other people, who, and Milwaukee for instance, who actually had guns, actually shot at cops, and then got, you know, killed in self-defense.
They still riot for these people.
adam crigler
Yeah, I don't get it.
tim pool
So I'll tell you what's going on right now.
You'd think Portland was over, right?
It's not.
You know why?
What do you think the activists are saying now?
At first it was defund the police, get the feds out of there.
All right, free the protesters and Ted Wheeler resign.
Those were the demands.
Okay, so here's what happens.
The feds stay in the courthouse because Oregon deployed state law enforcement into the courthouse as well.
And then activists stopped Antifa from throwing explosives.
That's all, according to The Guardian and a couple other outlets, that's what went down last night.
So now, what are the activists demanding?
Are they leaving?
Why aren't they leaving?
They won.
They're saying, we still haven't brought those officers to justice yet.
That's right.
adam crigler
The ones that were rightfully holding back the rioters from burning the courthouse down?
Is that who they're talking about?
Do they even know who they're talking about?
tim pool
I don't.
Let's just say yes.
And so the issue then becomes, no matter what happens, they will keep saying, we haven't got our demands yet.
So it's like, here you go.
adam crigler
They just want to burn the courthouse down.
That's it.
They want to burn whatever evidence is in there.
I'm just convinced of it now.
tim pool
I think they just want to break stuff.
adam crigler
I think they can break...
It's a symbol of Trump.
focused on the courthouse.
Why?
There's something in there they want.
tim pool
Trump.
It's a symbol of Trump.
adam crigler
The feds.
But now it's not the feds that are pulling him back.
tim pool
And then all of a sudden they're not throwing firebombs anymore.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
Yup.
The state police came in.
Oh, we can't have them claiming the Democrat secret police are oppressing us.
So all of a sudden the protesters stopped Antifa from throwing explosives.
But they allowed it when it was the feds?
That's the point.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
It's a symbol they're attacking.
unidentified
They're angry.
tim pool
It makes no sense.
And as soon as they can find some kind of political advantage, they're like, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
Everybody calm down.
Everybody calm down.
We don't, we don't want Trump to look good anymore because he was.
So now in an interview with the Oregonian, they asked the protesters like, what's going on?
And they said, we can't leave until these officers are held accountable.
It's like, oh, OK.
So it's never going to stop.
adam crigler
Never.
tim pool
It's going to be this way until the election, I guess.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's that's the perfect getaway for them.
It's like because the cops weren't doing anything wrong.
They were holding people back from burning the courthouse down.
So now they're like, well, now we can just be mad forever.
Ha ha.
And we can just riot and continue.
tim pool
Let's talk about what it is police do, okay?
adam crigler
Sure.
tim pool
In the context of doctors, do you go to a doctor and then he says like, I'm going to give you medicine and you'll never get cancer?
That's a ridiculous analogy, but yes, with vaccines, I'm going to give you this medicine and it will prevent you from getting this disease.
There's preventative actions.
adam crigler
True.
Okay.
tim pool
By doctors.
Now with the police, is there preventative action?
There actually is.
adam crigler
In a sense, yeah, for sure.
tim pool
The fact that cops are patrolling, Is in fact a deterrent, especially if cops are actively patrolling areas like, they do this in New York, they'll go into certain neighborhoods, whether you like it or not, and that can act as a deterrent.
Same thing is true in Chicago.
Then, what do they do after you've been the victim of a crime?
They seek to remedy it.
I actually find that a lot of, in a lot of circumstances, I have not had good luck with cops remedying serious crimes.
And I don't even know how you, like, how you actually get someone in trouble for, like, I don't know, non-violent crimes, like financial crimes, is beyond me.
I had a landlord once steal a check out of my trash can and forged my signature.
adam crigler
Whoa.
tim pool
And when I went to the police, they were like, we're not gonna do anything about that.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Yup.
adam crigler
How?
That's a felony, isn't it?
tim pool
Serious, serious crime.
adam crigler
Yeah, whoa.
tim pool
So, the problem was that So I wrote a check for rent, but I'd never signed it because I was going to be traveling, so I pre-wrote two months in advance.
But then they told us we had to move out because they were reclaiming the property, the landlords.
So I had my checkbook, and I just threw the checks in the trash, and I tied the trash up, and then I forgot to take it out.
One day I look and there's a cash check in my bank account and clearly not my signature on it.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
So I called my bank and they said, if you want the money back, we can do that, but you have to file a police report.
So I walked to the local police and they said, no, we can't handle that because this is the wrong department.
You got to go to this department.
So I walked to the next department and they said, what are you talking about?
We're not even in your neighborhood.
You got to go back to the other department.
So now I got mad.
I go back to the other one and I actually started screaming at them.
I was like, I want to press charges.
I want my money back, my bank will give it to me unless you guys file this report, and then finally a supervisor came out and said, fine, fine, fill this out, here you go, and that was it, they never did anything about it.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
But I did get my money back.
Alright.
So anyway, the point is, yeah, a lot of people get mad about that stuff too.
I'm still not stupid enough to say abolish all of the police.
adam crigler
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
So, here's what's happening in Portland.
A Portland man has been charged with arson after throwing a large explosive device at the Hatfield Federal Courthouse during a protest on July 28, 2020.
Investigation by US Marshals HQ and ATF.
Read more.
Okay, well, we can read more.
This is the Department of Justice.
They say U.S.
Attorney Billy J. Williams announced today that Gabriel Agard Berryhill, 18, has been charged by criminal complaint with using fire to maliciously damage the Marco Hatfield U.S.
Courthouse.
Quote, No legitimate protest messages advanced by throwing a large explosive device against a government building.
Mr. Agard Berryhill's actions could have gravely injured law enforcement officers positioned near the courthouse.
Other protesters standing nearby or himself.
I applaud the ATF agents and the U.S.
Marshals Service deputies who worked quickly to identify Mr. Agard Berryhill before he had an opportunity to hurt others.
The violent opportunists engaged in dangerous acts of violence, such as arson, need to realize there will be grave consequences, said Russell Berger, U.S.
Marshal for the District of Oregon.
Serious crimes of this nature go beyond mere property damage to the courthouse and endanger people's lives.
They say, according to the documents, at approximately 11.50pm on July 28, 2020, security cameras at the Hatfield Federal Courthouse captured footage of a large incendiary object enter the building's portico area and land near plywood sheeting affixed to the building's facade.
A few seconds later, the object exploded, igniting a fire near the building's main entrance.
Federal law enforcement personnel collected various items near the site of the explosion and sent them to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives laboratory for further analysis.
They revealed social media posts the night of the explosion and located videos of the incendiary object being thrown.
The individual depicted throwing the object, later identified to be a guard burial, was a young Caucasian male wearing a green-colored vest.
Now where does that sound familiar?
Huh?
adam crigler
Grammy's uh...
It's Gammy's boy!
tim pool
It is Gammy's boy. Antifa Melton, whose grandma bought him a riot vest, has been charged with arson.
It's... I believe the story is a little bit too good to be true though.
I don't believe his grandma actually bought him the vest.
But, so for those that don't know the context, this guy right here, he was shielding naked Athena like a very cringe-inducing white knight.
adam crigler
Yeah, she didn't seem like she wanted it.
tim pool
And she was pushing him out of the way and he kept shoving her and getting in front of her.
Oh man, that's the most annoying thing in the world.
I'd have hit the guy.
Like, stop pushing me and get out of my way.
In fact, I'd love to have been there and just grabbed the guy and be like, dude, stop touching the lady.
It's not even about defending the woman.
It's about this cringe white knighting that makes me just so... It's like, dude, can't you see she's trying to get her photo op?
Let the naked lady spread her leg to the cops.
Get out of the way.
Let's just get this over with, please.
You know what we used to call behavior like this from these white knight dudes?
Bad farting.
It's a bad fart that clings to you no matter how much you try and shake it off.
People can smell it and they're like, ugh.
You try to run out the room or something, you're fanning it, it just won't go away.
That's what this guy is.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
That's what it looked like.
tim pool
So there's a website.
There was a website where they sold this.
It's a reflective vest.
It's supposed to look like a bulletproof vest.
They're literally LARPing, dude.
adam crigler
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
This guy bought a LARP vest.
adam crigler
No, his grandma bought it for him.
Well... Supposedly.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
adam crigler
Supposedly.
unidentified
We'll say that.
tim pool
The post was made eight days before people publicly identified the guy.
And that's why people were like, hey, this post is from a week ago.
And it was a verified review, meaning whoever left the review did buy the product.
But it's possible somebody bought the product.
They found him.
They bought the product because they found... Here's what I think happened.
It was the night before the 20th, where the naked Athena lady dinner thing.
And someone probably looked up this guy, found out who he was, and then posted his picture on this website.
That's what I think happened.
I'm not entirely sure, it means they would have had to buy the vest themselves.
A week later...
A bunch of people found the profile, found the post, and then were like, dude, this is the guy, and now they believe his grandma bought him a riot vest.
It's not a riot vest.
It's a reflective vest for LARPing, like live action roleplay.
This is literally an 18 year old playing a game.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
Now he's being charged with arson.
unidentified
He should be.
tim pool
On a federal building.
adam crigler
I mean he lit, I saw him light it and throw it and that was the the big huge explosion that we covered a couple nights ago.
It was like, okay, that is definitely something more than just whatever they were, you know, a firework mortar, you know, it was clearly something.
tim pool
IED.
adam crigler
Yeah, an IED, exactly.
It's like, okay, you play stupid games, which to him is a game, to everyone else is not a game.
Like, someone could have been seriously injured.
tim pool
This is what law enforcement does.
You throw a bomb, they arrest you, you go to prison, And then other people are like, hey, if you do that, your life will end.
This dude's life is over.
I'm pretty sure what he did is a felony.
Alright?
I mean, I don't know exactly if they laid out... Okay, so they didn't exactly lay out if it's a felony, but I'm assuming arson on a federal building is gonna be... Okay, here we go.
They say, he made his first appearance in federal court today before a U.S.
magistrate judge and was ordered released pending further court proceedings.
What?
Really?
adam crigler
Wow.
unidentified
Huh.
tim pool
Arson is punishable by up to 20 years in prison with a mandatory minimum of five years.
unidentified
Wow.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Yeah.
Five years in prison.
Now, now here's my, here's the most important question.
How long do you think he cried for?
adam crigler
I think he's still crying.
tim pool
You think he's still crying?
adam crigler
Absolutely.
tim pool
He probably cried for quite a long time.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And his mom probably gave him a spanking and his dad was going like, I have no son.
What have you done?
Remember that Antifa guy whose parents brought him in?
adam crigler
What do you think he's saying to his grandma?
tim pool
I can't believe I bought you that vest.
What's his name?
Is his name Billy?
unidentified
You told me it was gonna be for LARPing!
Gabriel, I bought you that vest and now you're going to prison.
It's all my fault.
tim pool
Gabey.
Gabey.
Oh, Gabey, you're gonna get locked up.
lydia smith
Oh, man.
tim pool
I think that's the gist of the story on this guy, but this is a perfect example of what law enforcement does and why we have many different departments.
Could you imagine if people thought they could just do these things and nothing would happen?
That's the problem with what's happening.
We need to see these people important, like, go to jail.
adam crigler
Exactly.
tim pool
It's a combination of deterrence.
I do think we need reform.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, like prison reform.
How do we make it so that these people come out and they say to themselves, wow, that was a really bad idea.
I shouldn't do that again.
That's a big question.
lydia smith
Do you think you can connect this to the broken windows theory of policing, where if you get people in trouble for small crimes, you will be able to prevent them from doing bigger things?
tim pool
I don't know.
lydia smith
There's a direct connection there.
tim pool
I don't know.
lydia smith
Because, I mean, arson on a federal building is not exactly small.
tim pool
I don't know about the... I don't know if broken windows policing actually worked.
There's, like, there's pros and... there's people who... there's proponents and opponents of it saying it did or didn't work.
There's an interesting thing I was reading about.
At the time when they were claiming this new heavy-handed policing was reducing crime, we were actually removing lead from gasoline.
And, like, leaded gasoline levels coincided with, like, crime or something.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, I'm not saying it's true or anything.
I was just reading an interesting article.
They talk about what, you know, it's a question of... Here's the issue when it comes to policing and when it comes to broken windows.
Freedom or security?
I err on the side of security, which means you'll see lunatics get released.
I think the big problem with cities like New York is that if you simultaneously can't defend yourself and you have a ton of, you know, you want to have, it's an imbalance in law enforcement, right?
You tell people, okay, we're going to err on the side of freedom, bail reform.
What that means is in New York, they pass this bail reform measure, certain crimes, you get straight up released.
We will not hold you because you can't afford to pay bail.
They argued it was unconstitutional to hold someone unless they had money and poor people were being negatively impacted.
Okay.
I agree with that, actually.
Holding someone could destroy their life.
However, crime began to skyrocket.
Why?
Because it's still illegal to personally protect yourself in New York City.
In certain ways, to say the least.
adam crigler
That's a good point.
tim pool
So then you end up with a bunch of very weak, vulnerable people and criminals being constantly released.
If you're going to have freedom, it can't be only freedom for one certain thing.
You commit a crime, you're free to go!
Okay, what about my freedom to defend myself from the criminals you're releasing?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, we'll lock you up for that.
Okay.
And therein lies the main problem with imbalance and...
So I err on the side of freedom.
I don't like the idea of, you know, proactively going after people.
You know, if they commit a crime, they commit a crime.
If they're walking around like morons with shields, okay, fine, whatever.
If they then cross the line, then you arrest them, then you charge them.
But I do think we need to look at how we do prisons and try to figure out a better way.
adam crigler
I 100% agree.
Privatized prisons are definitely an issue.
It's an industry to them, the people who own these prisons, and that's an issue.
Why are you making money off of crime?
We have to get rid of that.
They need to be incentivized to let people become citizens and prosper outside once they get released.
tim pool
But I was thinking about this.
I think the issue might not actually be private prisons.
It might be recidivism.
adam crigler
Well, that's what I just said.
tim pool
What I mean is, when we pay private prisons, it shouldn't be based on them holding a prisoner.
It should be based on, after the prisoner was released, did they commit crimes in the next five years?
adam crigler
That's what I'm saying.
tim pool
We don't give contracts to prisons who have high recidivism rates.
adam crigler
Yes, or when when it becomes lower they get more they then get to prosper you know it's like then they can use that money for grants like the crime bill got rid of people being able to further themselves and that's ridiculous to me like why wouldn't we want them You know, at least looking to get grants to, like, have a library to finish their high school education or get a bachelor's degree in something so that when they get out they have something to actually strive towards, you know?
tim pool
I think the crux of it when it comes to jails and stuff is the system we have in place is like, you know, we started in the Wild West.
We started, okay, we're gonna build a big room, we're gonna lock you in it, you can't get out.
And then we said, okay, well, we got more people.
We need a bigger room.
Okay, now we need a bunch more rooms.
Now we need our own building.
Now we need a bigger building.
Okay, now we need to separate jails and prisons.
So now we have jails for temporary holding under a year.
Then we have prisons for everybody staying above, like more than that.
And it's just, then we have super max prisons.
All we've really done has been like, let's keep making bigger and bigger places to put people instead of saying like, hey, let's change the system and invent something that could fix this instead of just, you know, sweep it under the rug.
I think one of the ways to get there would be, if we have private prisons, perhaps we should be saying something like, if a high density, a high proportion of the prisoners released from your prison go on to commit crimes later on, then we'll stop giving you contracts.
adam crigler
I like that.
tim pool
And they're gonna be like, okay, we gotta figure out a way to make sure that the prisoners leave here and never commit crimes again, otherwise we go out of business.
And that might actually make sense.
There's interesting ideas around voucher programs.
Who's the guy we talked to, Corey DeAngelo?
lydia smith
Corey DeAngelo.
tim pool
Yeah, Corey DeAngelo talks about school voucher programs.
adam crigler
Yep, I like it.
tim pool
The idea is like, if everybody pays taxes for schools, and rich people pay more than poor people, but then everyone is given a voucher that they can then give to the school of their choice, so their kids can go to the school they want them to go to, it guarantees that poor people will have access to schools, any school they would like to send their kids to, And, you know, it also guarantees the right for people to choose their school while having schools compete to be better.
I actually really like that idea.
adam crigler
I do too.
tim pool
Sounds promising.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
For all I know, they implement it and it becomes the worst decision ever and it's complete and total chaos.
adam crigler
Yeah, but I mean, well, to kind of bring that into the policing, it's like unions.
The police unions, the teacher unions, they protect bad teachers, they protect bad cops.
That's all part of this problem that until we look at those and restructure those, we can't even really get to the rest of this.
Because they're protecting the bad systems that are already in place.
Oh yeah.
So we gotta really dig into those.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
And they're an issue.
tim pool
But, you know, the general idea is perhaps the voucher kind of thing could work across the board.
You know, post offices or whatever.
Yeah.
But I look at prisons, and that's what we need.
We can't just have the government be like, okay, here's a contract, take our prisoners.
adam crigler
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
It's got to be like, we've got a couple different ones that compete, and whoever has the lowest recidivism over five years gets the contract.
adam crigler
Yep.
I like that.
That's a good idea, actually.
tim pool
So maybe, I don't know, maybe that's a really bad idea.
I don't know what the solution is.
Maybe there are some people that's got to be locked away because they'll never improve.
They have serious challenges with people who just don't want to be functioning in a society or can't.
I don't know.
lydia smith
You should at least give him a shot.
Seems fair.
tim pool
At rehabilitation?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, this dude's going to get five years in prison.
And I'll tell you what I think.
He's 18.
I honestly don't think five years is the right goal.
I don't think it will take five years to convince this young person that what they did was wrong.
I think it runs the risk of radicalizing them and institutionalizing them in a way that they can't function once they get out.
Now, I'm not saying do nothing.
adam crigler
Do you think he knows that he did wrong now?
tim pool
No, I don't.
I think now he's going to have a bunch of people whispering in his ear saying, see, he's in a state of pressing you for no reason.
Imagine if you got a real point.
So we'll see what the punishment is.
They say it's a minimum of five years, which means there's no recommendations.
There's no pleading.
It's unless they, unless they drop it to a lesser charge.
adam crigler
That's what I was thinking.
I don't think it's going to be the, the, you know, the full arson charge because nothing got lit on fire.
tim pool
No, it did.
adam crigler
Oh, it actually did light up very briefly.
Okay.
tim pool
Yeah.
adam crigler
I didn't know that it did.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
I mean, it didn't burn down.
I mean, it's... I'm not trying to say it wasn't okay to do it, but I'm sure it's not going to be the full arson charge with five-year minimum.
tim pool
I kind of feel like that is the drop charge.
adam crigler
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, if they're giving them only arson instead of... Like, there's criminal damage to federal property, which is, I believe, a felony.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Then there's arson.
adam crigler
Actually, that's part of the executive order.
If you attack a federal statue, a federal building, it's ten years minimum.
tim pool
That's right.
So... Well, this is a... Does that include federal facilities?
adam crigler
I don't know.
I haven't... Maybe?
tim pool
I'm not sure.
I think that was specifically like a Veterans Monuments Act or something.
Either way, this dude could be charged with dozens of crimes and they're giving him one.
Five year minimum.
So we'll see what happens when he actually goes in.
Maybe they're playing big-ass and they'll drop it down.
But I think...
I don't know what the solution is when you get these dumb... I mean, let's be real, man.
This kid is as dumb as a box of rocks.
He's playing.
adam crigler
Well, it was his first time in the court, right?
Isn't that what they said?
tim pool
Well, he had his first time for these charges, I don't know if you know.
adam crigler
Oh, okay, okay.
tim pool
But he's wearing a LARP vest, you know?
Like, imagine if a dude went and bought a medieval knight suit and then marched around in chain mail They were.
I know.
adam crigler
There was chainmail knights out there.
tim pool
Yes.
Like, they're playing games.
adam crigler
That's what they are.
They seriously think it's a game where they have no consequences at all.
tim pool
Grandma should have bought Gabey to a paintball range.
And go play some paintball and get it out of his system.
But you know what it is?
Maybe these people, they thirst and hunger for war and conflict.
adam crigler
Maybe.
We are animals.
All of us.
tim pool
Human beings.
What happens to this dude after he gets out in five years?
I don't know.
But I'd imagine he's not going to be functioning in normal because he'll have no idea how to function in a normal society.
adam crigler
Well, if they get rid of the police, Seattle's going to be a completely different place.
tim pool
I don't know.
That sounds kind of fun.
adam crigler
Maybe he'll fit in.
Oh, yeah?
That's fun?
tim pool
Well, I mean, not if you actually live there.
adam crigler
Oh, okay.
tim pool
That's what I thought.
Like I said, these young men who are thirsty and hungry for conflict, yeah, they're going to be like, It's, you know, going to the post-apocalyptic.
You like playing Fallout?
Well, that's what they're going for.
They're going for Fallout in real life.
adam crigler
I like playing the game Fallout.
tim pool
That's the point.
These people don't realize they're gonna be living in Escape from Seattle.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
There's gonna be like gangs controlling everything.
adam crigler
There is.
tim pool
I gotta be honest, there's actually going to be a cathartic release when I see a bunch of pink shirt wearing dudes with skirts on and flowers around their necks and they're going, And they have like community police in their chests and there's one guy with like a hammer and he's like, take the money out of the van now!
And it's like a Brinks or the Brinks truck.
adam crigler
Please sir.
unidentified
Please.
tim pool
No.
adam crigler
You don't need to do this.
We can all be friends.
Let's hug it out.
Free hugs.
tim pool
And then he goes whack to their hand.
It's demolition man.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
The cops walk up and they're like, that's a good point.
adam crigler
That's what it's going to be like.
tim pool
Get on your knees.
No.
What do we do?
I don't know.
adam crigler
Wait, let me check the manual.
He said no?
tim pool
It says, say the same thing.
unidentified
I can't find it in the manual.
adam crigler
What do I do?
tim pool
He's like, say the same thing and add or else.
adam crigler
Or else.
I haven't seen that movie in a while.
I gotta watch that again.
tim pool
Or else what?
adam crigler
That's a good movie.
tim pool
But you, look at that.
I'll tell you what.
Remember that video of that chick saying like, or effing what to the cop?
adam crigler
And then they arrest her.
tim pool
Imagine there's no cops and she's just stomping about screaming and smashing things.
adam crigler
Oh, Karen land.
tim pool
And then you're gonna have these dudes wearing like pink shirts going like, Calm can you calm you get don't you're not supposed to
unidentified
break that. Oh, she broke it. Oh geez um. Oh, can you stop?
tim pool
Oh, she's good. She's not gonna stop. What do we do? Let's get out of here, and they run away
adam crigler
I'll tell you what man. No they're gonna be like it's okay.
tim pool
She's oppressed yep And then you're going to be... Dude, who in their right mind would want to own a business in Seattle right now?
lydia smith
No one.
tim pool
Who in their right mind would want to live there?
adam crigler
I don't know anyone who would want to be there.
And I feel bad for the people that do live there.
tim pool
I'm sorry, man, but I have very little sympathy for the people who are choosing to stay there.
adam crigler
I feel bad, though, because people have probably grown up there.
They probably have their whole lives there.
I don't believe that the majority of Seattle wants this to be the case.
tim pool
They don't.
People called into a meeting screaming, like, we don't care for this radical experiment.
adam crigler
Not surprising.
tim pool
I'll tell you what, man.
If you live in a city and, I don't know, like a meteor came and just like crashed into the center of it and wiped out a ton of the buildings and infrastructure, and then you were like, I'm going to stay here.
It's like, well, you can.
That's fine.
But I mean, you're like living in smoldering ruins by choice now.
adam crigler
Well, that's that's an act of nature.
tim pool
So ultimately, here's here's here's what bothers me.
The people who keep voting for this stuff.
They voted for these people.
adam crigler
No, no, no, they, they, they, they voted.
It's like, no, no, no.
Most people are comfortable in their lives.
They don't think this is going to happen.
They get too complacent with what's happening.
They stop caring about the politics because whatever, you know.
tim pool
That's what I was saying.
adam crigler
This won't happen.
unidentified
Right?
adam crigler
You were explaining earlier.
The silent majority is busy working.
They get home from work.
They crack a beer and hang out with their friends.
They don't talk politics.
Politics needs to be a regular thing for everybody and it's not anymore.
These people that are out there doing this, it is everything to them.
It's the only thing that they do is because they want their, you know, message pushed forward to the front of the line.
And that's what they're doing.
So the people that live in Seattle, if they want this, by all means, but if not, they need to get political.
They need to get involved.
They need to be protesting also.
tim pool
I'm actually thinking if Biden wins, we might see, you know, so let me stop there.
I'll start over.
People believe that If Donald Trump wins, progressives will go nuts and start tearing things apart.
adam crigler
They're already doing that.
So what's the difference?
tim pool
But most people are like, yep, the progressives, they'll rip everything to shreds if Trump gets elected.
If Biden gets elected, it's only like 36% believe conservatives would get violent.
And that's like, I'm like, well, those 36% are wrong.
But maybe not.
I'm starting to think otherwise.
The way I was explaining it earlier is that you have You know, we had these, I think there were two 49-state landslides.
It was Nixon and I think Reagan.
And the Democrats, according to the Wall Street Journal, have called every single election they've lost, other than those two, illegitimate, going back to, I think, 1968 or something.
This is a Wall Street Journal article about this.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
So why is it that we had these two landslides for Republicans?
What I think happens is, over time, political activity among regular working class people starts going down.
Why?
Because, I don't know, life's alright, you know?
Like, we get by.
First of all, we're spending most of our time working, we're not out there protesting and screaming about everything non-stop.
You go to work, you come home, you take care of your family, you mind your own business, and life's overall pretty good.
You might vote passively.
But because they get passive, and they become the silent majority, the crazies start taking control.
Now the loudest voices are fringe lunatics, like we're seeing today, forcing regular people to get up and get angry.
It's almost like you're sitting at home eating dinner and you hear a weird, really annoying sound outside.
And you're like, it'll eventually stop.
Let's just keep eating dinner.
I'm tired.
I just got off work, but it doesn't stop.
In fact, it's just getting louder and louder.
And then finally you go, enough!
And you throw down your tablecloth and you get up, you go outside and you yell at the kids, shut up!
And the kids shut up.
adam crigler
I like that tweet you showed me.
tim pool
Which one?
adam crigler
With the guillotine.
Oh yeah, do I have that one?
It sums this up so perfectly.
Oh you do, yeah you do.
Check this out.
I don't really care about politics.
Okay, well, your head's about to be chopped off from the politics you don't care about.
tim pool
So what's funny is the guy who made this is actually a leftist and he makes a bunch of really dumb comics.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
He made one, this is how I found this actually, he made one where it was a guy standing behind Hitler saying, I don't agree with what you say but I'll defend to the death of your right to say it.
lydia smith
Centrist.
tim pool
And he was like, modern centrists be like, or whatever.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And so I saw that and I'm like, dude, you can literally buy Hitler's book on Amazon.
In like, you know, a bunch of different versions of it.
There's like, stylized art.
It's ridiculous.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
But yes, there's a reason why you can hear the words of this lunatic.
So you can understand why he was a lunatic.
And why, you know, it's important that we know.
They say, know your enemies, right?
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
But these people don't get it.
They're like, heaven forbid we actually learn why evil people do things.
But I looked at his Twitter account and he had this one as well as part of a collage or whatever.
And he says, I don't really, it's a guy about to get his head chopped off.
I don't really care about politics.
The reason why that's funny is because it's not the right that goes around in revolutions with guillotines.
The left literally brings mock guillotines to people's homes.
adam crigler
Jeff Bezos' home.
Right.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So this actually speaks way more to moderates and conservatives than anybody else.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
You can sit there all day and night and say, you don't care.
And well, here comes the chop.
lydia smith
Politics cares about you.
tim pool
Well, I'll tell you what, man.
Voters say some big city leaders, most reporters, encourage violent protests.
Here's what's crazy.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 50% of likely U.S.
voters believe political leaders in some major cities like Portland and Seattle are encouraging violent protests by limiting the police response.
31% disagree, and 19% are not sure.
They say 55% of all voters believe most reporters identify with the protesters in violent protest situations.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
I want you to take that one to the bank when we talk about the silent majority.
Yep.
55% of all voters believe the reporters identify with the violent protesters.
adam crigler
But that says all voters.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
adam crigler
That doesn't just say of conservatives.
tim pool
Yeah, I know.
adam crigler
You know, it's everybody.
Everyone thinks this.
tim pool
Of conservatives.
adam crigler
Sorry, the majority does.
tim pool
Do they give us the breakdown by conservatives on this one?
adam crigler
What was the paragraph just above this?
Republicans, what does that say there?
tim pool
This one has to do with political leaders making it worse.
They say Republicans, 72% are more likely than Democrats at 33% to think these political leaders are making it worse.
And unaffiliated is at 48%.
I don't know what those numbers represent.
adam crigler
But that's still 33% of the Democrats think that the political leaders are making it worse.
Leaders, plural there.
So it's not just one.
I think the journalists love blaming a certain somebody.
tim pool
So, take into consideration the journalist's portion of this.
55% of all voters believe most reporters identify with the protesters.
Are you going to tell Antifa who you're voting for?
When you get a phone call from someone you believe is part of the violent protests and they're saying, who did you vote for?
Yeah.
I vote for Biden.
Good, click.
adam crigler
Good, that's right you will.
I know where you live.
tim pool
Most reporters, this is the important factor.
If 55% of voters are lying to reporters because they believe the reporters are Antifa, Then our polls are insanely skewed.
unidentified
Wow, yeah.
adam crigler
I already thought that.
tim pool
Insanely.
You know what this means?
It means that the polls are beyond inverted.
Okay, so consider this.
45% of people answering polls, and we're just speculating here.
I'm, you know, extrapolating some data here.
We're taking a little leap.
If 55% of voters think protesters are antifa, and it stands to reason, you're not going to tell antifa who you're voting for.
You're not going to tell them the truth, at least, right?
So that means those 55% are lying.
So if that means 45% are being honest, which includes a small portion of Trump supporters, and then the rest are all saying Biden, it's probably right now the actual polls are Trump 80%, Biden 20%.
adam crigler
Yep, that sounds about right.
I believe that.
tim pool
We'll see, man.
We'll see, man.
I think hubris will be the downfall of either side.
You think you won, you didn't.
You better show up and vote.
That's all that matters.
adam crigler
I've never been more stoked to vote for somebody in my entire life.
tim pool
And I've heard similar things.
The left doesn't want to believe it, man.
Because I've tweeted about this over and over again.
So I mentioned this before.
I would love to actually... I'm talking to my friend about promoting their Twitter account.
But this is somebody who's not a public figure at all.
I met somebody at a Black Lives Matter rally.
adam crigler
Okay, yeah.
tim pool
Six years ago, who even up to last year was posting, F Trump, F Trump, Black Lives Matter.
And then all of a sudden I see she's posting all these crazy ass Donald Trump memes.
And I'm like, what is going on?
So I send her a DM, I'm like, you're voting for Trump now?
And she's like, definitely.
And I was like, but I met you at a Black Lives Matter rally.
She's like, right?
Yup, but yup.
You know what it has to do with?
It has to do with Epstein.
adam crigler
Trump's dropping the hammer on all of them.
They're scared.
You can tell.
tim pool
Mike Cernovich tweeted out something really funny.
He especially deserves a lot of credit on this one because he's the one who filed the suits to get the documents unsealed.
It's really crazy.
People don't realize this.
Mike Cernovich has actually broken tons of huge news stories.
adam crigler
Cernovich is killing it.
tim pool
The media doesn't want to acknowledge this guy.
adam crigler
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Wow, really?
them, they lie, or they just omit his name entirely.
adam crigler
Wow, really?
tim pool
Yeah, but he's absolutely responsible.
And then to a certain degree, I'm trying...
I don't want to steal credit from anybody else.
There's Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald, who...
They were both involved.
But I think Cernovich was the first.
Could be wrong, but I know that he played a large role in this.
But now that I've been praising his work on Epstein, I'm...
Oh yeah, he tweeted.
He tweeted that right now you've got this big QAnon protest in Hollywood.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
And all the mainstream journalists are mocking and belittling them for like crazy conspiracy stuff.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
I definitely think a lot of these people believe some crazy conspiracy stuff.
Though, to be honest, I don't follow it, you know, seriously.
But Cernovich said, he responded basically saying, you've got these main, I'll paraphrase the general idea.
It's no wonder that these people believe or refuse to believe mainstream news and end up believing conspiracies when they've been demanding the press cover Bill Clinton on, you know, on the island.
I'm going to be very careful of language because YouTube will give us the ax.
Well, he was... Bill Clinton, for those that don't know, he was named directly by Virginia Giuffre.
She ID'd him saying, and there's testimony from 2016 that got released thanks to Cernovich where she's straight up like, Clinton was there.
End of story.
So she saw him with young women.
adam crigler
Not just there.
Things were happening while they were there.
tim pool
With young women.
And so what Cernovich points out is you have people who end up believing conspiracies because We know for a fact when these transcripts, when these documents get released, and there is some good journalist revealing this stuff, no one else covers it.
adam crigler
Yeah, because they don't want anyone looking at that stuff.
tim pool
That's why.
It's political, but it's also having to do with Antifa.
These people believe that these journalists are Antifa, and they are correct.
These people are aligned ideologically with these far-left militant extremists.
So when you watch a video and you see a guy lob an explosive
and the Department of Justice says, we've got him, he's being arrested,
and then you turn on the media and they're like, peaceful protesters, and you're like,
what? I watched the video, man.
It drives you insane.
adam crigler
He throws it. It's true. Lights it, tosses it, it explodes.
tim pool
Here's what ends up happening.
adam crigler
Building lights on fire.
tim pool
I'm not surprised there are people who refuse to believe mainstream news
and end up getting their news from fringe conspiracy groups because...
At least the fringe conspiracy groups are talking about Antifa being violent.
adam crigler
Well, I mean, if you look into it, there is some fringe conspiracy stuff, but a lot of it actually is corroborated.
It's legitimate, proven stuff that they're talking about that the mainstream media isn't talking about.
So, I mean, yeah, there's some conspiracy in it, but for the most part, I mean, a lot of it's been proven.
tim pool
No, there's a lot of... it's a big, massive, insane conspiracy, garbled mumbo-jumbo.
adam crigler
Well, yes, it's become more and more, because it feels like they're trying to smoke the whole Q movement with these crazy sides.
tim pool
There's a lot more problems with Q going back to its entire history of failed predictions and kind of just garbled nonsense.
But what happens is no one will trust the mainstream news if the mainstream news is trying to debunk it because we know they're lying about things we can see with our own eyes.
So what happens is people become very susceptible to conspiracy theories.
If you see a story on the internet, and it says, Antifa lobs, you know, bomb.
If you watch this show, for instance, and we showed the clip from, we didn't play it, but we show that DOJ posts this, and actually, can I pull it up right here?
Here we go.
A Portland man has been charged with arson, and here's the video published by the DOJ, and you can see a dude Look, there's the flash.
Go on Twitter, you can see it.
It's a verified DOJ account.
If we know this happened, if you watch this show and you know this happened, and then you see from every mainstream news source, peaceful protest.
You see a picture of a burning building torched, and it says peaceful protest.
You watch MSNBC, and what was that guy's name who said peaceful protest in front of the burning building?
lydia smith
I don't remember his name.
tim pool
Mostly peaceful.
in front of the police precinct which is being burned to the ground.
lydia smith
Mostly peaceful.
tim pool
And he's like, now, now, now, it's peaceful, it's peaceful.
And Sienna did the same thing.
adam crigler
Oh yeah, I remember that.
tim pool
If you watch that and you're staring in confusion like, I don't get it.
These people are literally insane.
They're lying.
Then when they come out with out with any other information you're like I don't buy it I
don't believe it it's like I was saying before they could come out right now
and say you know today Donald Trump waved hello to some reporters I'd be
like no he didn't you're lying it's not true it's fake news I'm gonna need
proof I need the video and I need the full 20 minute video of the helicopter
landing Trump walking up waving hello walking back and then flying away
adam crigler
No, he gives the thumbs up.
That's what he does.
tim pool
He goes, see, boom.
lydia smith
See?
tim pool
No, he flicks them off and says, you're fake news.
unidentified
You're fake.
lydia smith
As he should.
adam crigler
No, he doesn't.
tim pool
I'm kidding.
adam crigler
No, I know.
I still, I like the guy, so.
tim pool
You know, I saw videos of a lot of these, you know, a lot of the conspiracy protesters and stuff.
And what makes me really angry is that And I'm not going to blame the individuals for believing conspiracy theories and fake news, but in the absence of real journalism, the space is exploited by people who just make things up for profit.
adam crigler
I mean, you're also going under the assumption that anyone that follows Q believes every single thing that they're talking about, and that's not true.
tim pool
I mean, the core of it is just garbled mumbo-jumbo.
There's a huge map about... It's nonsense.
adam crigler
I know, I've seen that map.
tim pool
International or inter-dimensional whatever.
Listen, there's a general idea around it with Donald Trump going up against elements of what they call the permanent government.
People who retain their positions after elected officials leave.
But, you know, if you're talking about people who passively and loosely mention something
without paying attention to it, well then I'd recommend you actually start looking into
what some of these people are saying because some of what they're saying is a lot of insane,
you know...
adam crigler
Yeah, there's crazy people in every group.
tim pool
Yeah, but this is primarily nonsensical garbled mumbo jumbo.
They're holding up posters with pizzas and hot dogs on it because somebody made something up on 4chan and they all just believed it was true, and now I'd be willing to bet there's a huge... I mean, I know for a fact a lot of people believe things are true that are absolutely not true, because somebody literally posted on a forum something totally fake.
And the problem I have with this is it makes it impossible to actually dig into what they were tracking.
A red herring was thrown out, they chased after it, now they're marching around with poster boards talking about weird conspiratorial things that are just not true.
And that was the point.
You've got powerful elites.
We know they're doing creepy things.
Bill Clinton was just implicated.
So we get it.
But when you come out with poster boards of things that make no sense... And one of the princes.
adam crigler
I don't remember which one.
tim pool
Prince Andrew.
Definitely implicated.
So, all you have to say is, like, it's very clear-cut.
Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, ID'd by witness.
What do we get instead?
People marching around with gibberish made-up words, pictures of spaghetti and hot dogs, and they look like they're nuts.
Because someone posted fake news online, and they were like, this is what I'm gonna make a poster board about.
Instead of being like, published documents through a lawsuit today, as reported by Newsweek, implicate Bill Clinton.
adam crigler
Yeah, that's crazy.
tim pool
I can't believe I read that today.
adam crigler
I can't believe I read that today.
tim pool
Yep.
That's where we're at.
So the important thing, I always tell the people, it's like, man, there are real, well,
there used to be real journalists.
I don't think they really exist for the most part anymore.
adam crigler
I'm looking at one right now, Tim.
tim pool
Yeah, kind of.
But, you know, what we sort of do is like a weird fact-checking commentary show almost,
you know?
adam crigler
Yeah, I guess that's true.
That accurately talks about what our show is.
Yeah, I guess so.
tim pool
A lot of crazy people saying a lot of crazy things, and I have no problem saying it's true, it's not true.
We need facts on this one.
I think we showed that chart the other day about the New York Times and the hockey stick of all the intersectionalism and far leftist stuff.
Starting in like 2010 right and then listen if you get there's there's there's so many factors that are conspiring to create Conspiracy movements it is the fault of the New York Times.
adam crigler
It is the fault of the Daily Beast and Vox Yeah, they post it so much that it's convinced these people that believe now.
I'm not we're not talking about Q anymore We're talking about the the crazy left the the people that are that read all this and succumb to it pass it around Keep seeing it and pass it around and it gets worse and worse and worse that that is now their new reality That's what they believe.
It is 100%.
That is the way people are.
And everyone else is like, they're looking at them like they're the ones holding the pizza signs.
Like, you guys are crazy.
Because that's not the way it is.
tim pool
So when they say, what was that initial thing the Seattle department said?
They wanted gender affirming... Praxis?
Praxis or whatever.
adam crigler
Something like that.
tim pool
I'm like, what is this?
Praxis is a dog whistle to the far left.
Okay.
adam crigler
Trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis.
unidentified
Whoa.
tim pool
So all of these words are dog whistles for the far left.
In fact, the word dog whistle is a dog whistle to the far left.
Because regular people don't use these phrases.
adam crigler
Good point.
tim pool
You can tell if someone is trapped in this bubble of this conspiracy world.
There really are white supremacist conspiracy theorists who believe there is a cabal, the patriarchy, that controls everything.
It's insane.
Here's what happens.
The New York Times starts talking about whiteness, directly insulting people.
Those people then say, I'm done, and they turn it off.
But they still want to get information from somewhere.
And so they go online, they look for it, and they end up finding the inversion of it.
adam crigler
Enter Timcast IRL.
Well, we're here for you.
tim pool
to give you the real news and try to break it down well we try to break it down what i mean is in a kind of in terms of where people end up a lot of people end up going into insane conspiracy world or like facebook meme news land well that's the left yeah they start getting all their news from memes yep and i'm like some random person will tweet something like The government is so dumb, like, they should just give everyone a million dollars, and then all of a sudden I see, like, 50,000 shares on Facebook, and they're like, it makes so much sense!
Remember the one, what was the thing where it was like, what did they say, what did they say, it was like, Michael Bloomberg spent 500 million dollars on the election, if he could have, there's 300 million Americans, he could have given every American a million dollars and still had money left over, and it's like, No, that's a dollar.
unidentified
$1.25.
adam crigler
Sorry.
Learn math.
If you can't even do that, why should we trust you with anything?
tim pool
But that's what they'll do is they'll take a screenshot of that insane statement.
adam crigler
And that went crazy viral.
People were sharing that like, can you believe this?
unidentified
Look at this.
adam crigler
Can you believe it?
No, I can't.
I can do math.
tim pool
Yes, everybody would have gotten a $1.30.
Yeah, I think you need a trillion, a trillion or something.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's not.
tim pool
If he had 500 trillion, he could have given a million dollars.
adam crigler
Yeah, well, 350 million or a trillion.
tim pool
Yeah, right.
So all of these people, they share memes for news.
They get their information half-baked from CNN because they overheard it in an airport.
And then other people are sitting there, and they'll actually... It's really easy to get pushed down, say, a rabbit hole.
Now, the left tries claiming that YouTube does it.
It doesn't really.
That's not true.
Facebook might through shares, though they've been changing their algorithm.
It really just happens.
If someone sends you a video, and you see a dude lobbing an explosive at a building, you go, Whoa!
That guy just threw an explosive at that building.
What happened?
And then you're like, but the news isn't talking about it.
So I've literally gotten emails from people where they're saying things like, I turn on the news in, uh, you know, uh, in Europe and they're showing all of these peaceful marches and protests.
And then all of a sudden you're seeing, you know, gas masks and like camo gear guys shooting at people.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And you're like, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.
How did, how did, how did we get here?
adam crigler
Yeah, wait.
They're missing a huge chunk of time there.
What?
tim pool
They don't show it.
adam crigler
Do people even question that, though?
I would question it.
Like, what spawned them to do that?
Because there's gotta be a reason.
And there was.
But they don't show that.
tim pool
It's crazy.
They try and make it seem like peaceful demonstrators were attacked viciously by Trump's secret police today.
adam crigler
I mean, even my friend in Portland who hit me up saying, like, how can you be okay with this?
Like, I live in Portland and it's fine.
Like, I'm not seeing anything.
Like, I go outside, everything's normal, nothing's happening.
So how are you going to tell me I live in Portland and there's nothing?
It's like, I'm watching the live streams of the people standing outside the courthouse trying to burn the courthouse down like what do you mean
how can I see it how can't you see it go to the courthouse and call me when you get there there's
tim pool
a person the person sitting in the guillotine saying I don't care about politics still
adam crigler
haven't heard back that was like a week and a half ago well I'll tell you what what's what's the old

poem first that came for communists and it didn't speak up and they came for trade unionists and I
didn't speak up yep take a look at this here article this is from Bloomberg City Lab
Speaking of Bloomberg... Dozens of city governments declare racism a public health crisis.
Okay, that literally means nothing, but sure.
More than 50 city declarations put racism's health impacts on par with disease and addiction.
Health organizations and school districts are adopting them, too.
Do you know what the cure for racism is?
adam crigler
Stop talking about it?
tim pool
No, no, no, I mean like, for them.
adam crigler
Stop calling people by their race?
Just calling them a person?
tim pool
No, no, no, I'm talking about, it's a public health crisis, Adam.
The government has said so.
adam crigler
That's what I mean, I believe them.
tim pool
How do you think they will seek to cure this public health crisis?
adam crigler
I don't know, where is this anyway?
tim pool
50 different cities.
And this is from the 13th, so it's ignoring the fact that Colorado State has already pushed forward the declaration itself, and a bunch of other cities in the meantime.
And about 10 or 12% of the CDC has signed a document demanding the CDC declare racism a public health emergency in this country.
lydia smith
Heaven help us.
tim pool
Nationwide.
adam crigler
Let me guess, Biden will save us all from it?
tim pool
No, Biden's for it.
adam crigler
No, I know he's for it.
That's what my point is, Tim.
Come on.
tim pool
Yes.
I thought you meant save us, like, in the honest sense of what saving us means.
Not from their perspective.
So, this is what you're gonna get.
So, your friend who says, like, I don't know what you're talking about.
I'll tell you what.
There's gonna be some dude who shows up in a pink, you know, shirt that says Community Police, and they're gonna knock on your door, and they're gonna say, We heard you last night playing rap music.
You're under arrest.
You have to come with us.
And they're gonna be alarmed.
adam crigler
Under arrest?
How can they arrest anyone?
tim pool
What do you mean?
Morality policing.
adam crigler
I know, but who's going to... They don't have authority to arrest people?
They're going to have authority to do that?
tim pool
The new police?
adam crigler
Yes.
So they're going to think that they can take somebody against their will?
You think someone who doesn't want to get taken is going to allow that to happen?
tim pool
Absolutely.
I do.
Case in point, the McCloskeys who handed over their guns when the police illegally seized them.
Yes, when the state authorities show up at their door and say, you culturally appropriated and that's a violation of the law.
Look, if they can get the city council to vote to abolish the police, they're going to do a whole bunch of crazy things.
adam crigler
That's a bad example, dude.
tim pool
What is?
adam crigler
The McCloskeys were law-abiding citizens.
They even knew that those guns weren't firing.
They couldn't be fired.
So you're giving an example of a law-abiding citizens.
Well, of course they're going to go along with it.
I'm not talking about those people.
I'm talking about the people that are actually doing crimes that don't care.
tim pool
I just said a person's at their house playing rap music, and a guy shows up in a pink shirt and says, you're under arrest for cultural appropriation.
adam crigler
Yeah, well, who knows the type of person?
I mean, anyone can listen to rap music.
I listen to rap music.
But there's people that won't care who shows up.
They'll be like, get out of here.
F off.
tim pool
If the McCloskeys who donate to Republicans and show up on their porches with a rifle pointing, you know, and the wife with the handgun, if they're willing to do that and they're still willing to turn over their weapons to an illegal demand, if the Attalus Gym owners who are saying you can't force us are still willing to get in the police vehicle with the cops and be arrested... More law-abiding citizens.
And a guy playing rap music is also a law-abiding citizen.
And when the unconstitutional edicts come down, and racism is a public health crisis, and just like COVID, they can unconstitutionally lock down your business and arrest you, they're gonna say, to cure racism, we must end white supremacy.
You can't play this music!
And then they show up and say, you're under arrest.
And the people will say, okay.
They've been doing it, why would they stop?
The only evidence we have right now, based on everything that's happened, is that people will absolutely agree to all of the unconstitutional edicts laid before them.
Right now, the World Economic Forum has announced the new program to be implemented will take your blood.
I'm not making this up.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's crazy.
I'm not gonna give them my blood.
tim pool
And guess how many people will?
A lot.
If the World Economic Forum can straight come out and say, if you would like to go to arenas and go to the movies and travel, you must go to a lab and give them your blood and they will then give you a mobile app which will confirm you're free to travel.
I don't know about it.
Like, no one knows about that.
confirmed from the World Economic Forum and there's no rioting over this I don't
adam crigler
think people care if I don't know about it like no one knows about that I didn't
hear about that until you just told me well now they do well I'm about to riot
That's ridiculous.
No one's gonna take my blood and tell me I can't go travel because they have to analyze my blood.
tim pool
Bro, they shut down your passport already.
adam crigler
You've done- Well, then I'm gonna leave this country then, if that's the case.
Why would I want to be in this country?
unidentified
You can't!
tim pool
Your passport's been voided.
You can't travel anywhere anymore, dude.
adam crigler
Well, it sounds like it's time for us to riot because this is ridiculous.
The left gets to riot.
So if they get to riot because of this stuff, why?
I mean, this is insane.
I was already mad.
So you're telling me that that's what their new plan is?
Then we need to start freaking protesting.
unidentified
Yes.
adam crigler
And riot, man.
I'm down.
Let's do this.
tim pool
Not riot.
adam crigler
Well, whatever.
tim pool
Because riots don't work.
adam crigler
Well, it seems like it's legal.
Legally, they're getting things done.
We've been talking about... You've been talking about it right now.
Your point right now... The riots backfired and helped Donald Trump.
But it's proving.
Look at this.
This is because they're rioting and getting into the system.
unidentified
No, it's not.
tim pool
The riots helped Donald Trump.
That's why they panicked and backed off immediately.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Donald Trump sent out police and people started supporting him.
Peaceful protests do work.
People standing up and linking arms around statues does work.
Coming out and saying, I won't stand for this works.
Telling your boss you won't stand for it works.
People doing everything they can.
adam crigler
Alright, if that's the case, then let's get this.
Tell them it's not gonna work.
They're not gonna take our blood.
Let's fight this.
Everybody needs to fight this.
We got 40,000 people here.
If you want your blood taken, And have them analyze it and allow you to go to the movies, allow you to travel, shut down your passport because you haven't given your blood.
If that's not ridiculous to you, then let it happen.
tim pool
Pull it up.
World Economic Forum.
Let me just make sure you see this.
NewsGuard certified.
This website adheres to basic standards of credibility and transparency.
Transparency, 82.5 out of 100.
Could this COVID-19 health passport be the future of travel and events?
And here's the machines that actually do it.
You're given your phone, you get a QR code, and they say straight up that... Let me see where it is.
They say specifically blood tests.
Boom.
adam crigler
This is from the United Nations.
This is not America.
I see it right there.
tim pool
It's the World Economic Forum.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Yes.
And?
They're doing this around the world.
This is what they're calling for right now.
CovidPass, the brainchild of the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leaders, Mustapha Mokas.
It also involves YGLs across five continents, including Muna, Abu Salman, and Peggy Liu.
CovidPass uses blockchain technology to store encrypted data from individual blood tests, allowing users to prove they've tested negative for COVID-19.
So will that come to the United States?
Maybe not.
But it also means our passports don't work anymore and we can't go anywhere.
There's like... What are there, like four countries we can travel to now?
lydia smith
I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah, there's like four.
lydia smith
That's insane.
If you don't have a passport, how are you supposed to leave the U.S.?
tim pool
You can't.
lydia smith
That's the point.
tim pool
You can't go anywhere anymore.
So there's a small... I think we can go to Turkey, Mexico, and a couple other countries.
lydia smith
Not even Canada, right?
tim pool
There was a private jet full of ultra-wealthy people that tried flying to Europe and got turned away and had to fly somewhere else.
Yeah, we can't go to Canada either.
lydia smith
Holy cow.
tim pool
And guess what the rich people are going to do?
They're gonna buy a St.
Kitts and Nevis passport for $50,000 and then go wherever they want.
They're gonna buy citizenship because you can.
It's called economic citizenship.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
You got a rich person, got half a million bucks, you drop that in a bank account in some country, boom, you're a citizen, you can go wherever you want.
Now, they'll probably want your blood, I guess, because that's what the World Economic Forum
is talking about.
But let me go back to this point about all of the racism as a public health crisis.
Listen, if they're telling us straight up what whiteness is and white supremacy, and
it's a public health crisis, hey, the same as COVID.
And they violated the Constitution to arrest business owners in New Jersey, in Texas, and Ohio, and Michigan.
And this was months ago, they arrested the patron of a gym in New Jersey.
And there have been some back the blue protests.
But there hasn't been widespread outrage in terms of, you know, on par with what we've seen from Black Lives Matter.
In fact, the left doesn't seem to care all of this is going on.
So I'll tell you what I'm seeing.
We have seen absolutely zero evidence to suggest that, well, I take that back.
I would say we have seen a tiny, tiny morsel to suggest that people will resist unconstitutional edict.
And in this, the police will absolutely adhere to their orders over the Constitution.
The two guys at Atlas Gym who said no.
This is evidence to suggest some people will stand up and remain defiant.
adam crigler
Someone sent me a law that was put into place a long time ago.
I think in like 1986 or something.
And it allows the president to take control of and basically turn all the police force into a posse.
I don't remember the exact words.
Something about a posse something.
So he can actually take control of them all.
tim pool
Theoretically under Directive 51 as well.
adam crigler
But it was before Directive 51 even came into place.
So he can enact that and enact the other thing.
So it's like if they're gonna follow their orders, technically it would be following the orders if the president ordered them to do something.
tim pool
If he actually would do it.
adam crigler
I know.
tim pool
Listen, the point I'm making is, if all of these cities and states, Colorado now, are saying racism is a public health crisis, well, cultural appropriation is racist.
So yeah, white men playing rap music.
They'll come to your house and tell you to stop.
You can't do that.
They'll come to your job and say, no more schedules allowed, other ridiculous nonsense.
Who knows how absurd and insane they'll get.
But we all saw what happened with Evergreen and Bret Weinstein.
They shut everything down.
They locked the administrators in their rooms.
They wouldn't let them go to the bathroom.
And when the guy was talking, and he was waving his hands, they said, stop waving your hands, it's racist.
And when he did, they all laughed at him.
It's the rise of authoritarianism, and they are using this to push it through.
And all of these people are cheering for it in massive protests, and the silent majority is crossing their fingers that voting for Trump will fix it.
Maybe.
Maybe.
But these cities are doing this right now, and the progressives have already said, do whatever you want, even if we lose, we are here forever.
That's what some of these, they were tweeting it earlier.
A bunch of progressives were like, we're here to stay, it's not going away.
So, I wonder about these cities, where these declarations were put into effect.
I wonder about these specific instances, but more importantly, I wonder about when Andrew Cuomo put sick people into nursing homes, killing, and I mean this quite literally, killing.
He personally killed 6,500 people.
Were there riots?
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
Now when a guy in Ferguson- Which blows me away- Tried to steal- I tell that to people and they don't even believe me.
adam crigler
They get upset because- Actually, someone completely blocked me because I just simply said that.
Because I was talking about the numbers and I'm like, well, what about the fact that he killed thousands of people?
And then I didn't even get a response.
I just got blocked.
It's like, wow, okay.
You just want to live in that blindness.
tim pool
And considering there are people who don't believe it, I pulled up the source.
ProPublica is a left-wing publication, okay?
They probably would say they're legitimate journalism.
They say...
The Cuomo administration hasn't said which nursing homes were infected with COVID-19 after its order sent positive patients into them.
Dozens of New York nursing homes didn't see their first COVID case until sick patients were sent there, many under Andrew Cuomo's state policy.
To date, 6% of the state's nursing home population, roughly 6,500 residents, have died.
That's Cuomo.
He did that.
adam crigler
Yes, he did.
He's got blood on his hands.
tim pool
What's his approval rating at right now?
lydia smith
It was at 60% last time I checked.
tim pool
His approval rating is at 60%.
adam crigler
Cause no one's talking about this though.
The mainstream media is not, they're not talking about that.
unidentified
Yup.
tim pool
So I have to wonder though, is it, if, if people aren't standing up over all of these things we've just talked about, is the message actually reaching a silent majority or is the silent majority silent because they don't know?
Because the meat, because there's no, in which case they're not going to vote for Trump.
adam crigler
Well, you know what?
I'm going to take this time to ask all of you to tell, speak up, talk about all this stuff to everybody you know, because we're losing our freedoms right now.
They're single-handedly taking all of our freedoms away.
Just keep taking, plucking them away, one by one, just gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
So unless you want to live with no freedoms, you better start standing up for yourselves, talking.
A lot of people are coming up to me and saying that they're speaking up, and it's awesome.
And I love it.
I love it so much.
That's what I want to see.
That's what we need to do.
We need to speak up and fight this.
Because they're doing it in front of our eyes.
And we're just sitting there like, they're not going to make it worse, are they?
They're not going to make it- whoop, nope, they just made it worse.
Yep.
Racism is- cultural appropriation is now illegal.
Great.
Awesome.
tim pool
Check this out.
Bloomberg says, among the causes for the declaration as stated in the resolution, a quote, a failure by any of our citizens to acknowledge the prevalence of racism in our community and join in the fight to eradicate its effects on the majority of our residents is an unwelcome option.
That's Memphis.
What does that mean?
lydia smith
Okay, so this is like what Jo Jorgensen was talking about when she gave that libertarian tweet about being anti-racist.
This is not passively not being racist.
This is actively taking the steps that they want you to take.
This is just authoritarianism.
tim pool
Join the cult.
adam crigler
100%.
tim pool
The libertarian party candidate told people what they must do.
When the churches are shutting down, when the Supreme Court straight up said, we will infringe upon your right to freedom of religion, where were the religious folk?
adam crigler
Did you see the funeral that went on the other day?
It was messed up.
tim pool
Yep, that's right.
adam crigler
They were sitting right next to each other.
tim pool
No masks.
adam crigler
Packed the whole place in.
tim pool
And Obama was like, we can't have these big open events, or we can't have these big events with people all close to each other.
Wink, wink.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
They had a funeral.
They had a funeral.
It was for John Lewis, right?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
And, you know, rest in peace.
My respects.
Yet they had a funeral where they were all sitting next to each other, and they flaunt it.
They are the cultural authority.
Yeah.
And it's as simple as the far left will go up, they'll go out, they'll protest, and no one else will.
Not to be fair, I'm exaggerating a bit.
There are back-the-blue protests that go outside, and there have been many across this country, but they're not nearly as big as Black Lives Matter was.
Black Lives Matter is more popular, according to various polls, than both political parties right now.
And we've seen high-profile leaders of the organization say that they should form their own political party because they'd win.
They probably would.
adam crigler
And then look at Herman Cain.
They're just trying to make it seem like he went to a Trump event and got COVID.
Well, newsflash, he was tested before and after going to that and didn't have it.
So he didn't get it there.
He was also fighting cancer for over two years.
You know, it's like...
Sure, he did, he caught it.
Sure.
Okay.
And, and happened to die, but he was, his body wasn't a hundred percent.
lydia smith
Stage four cancer.
adam crigler
Yeah, you know, it's like, and they're just, they're politicizing his death because he was not on their side.
He wasn't one of their soldiers, so they're not propping him up at all, when he was an awesome man!
lydia smith
Disgusting.
tim pool
Who was it who denied, was it de Blasio, denied the Blue Lives Matter mural?
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
They are flaunting their violations of the Constitution.
adam crigler
Yes, they are.
tim pool
Straight up flaunting it.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
It has gotten so extreme in the past several months, this year, where these people, violent authoritarians, engaging in repressive, violent behavior, Empowering their cronies, painting their messages in the streets, and denying equality to others while simultaneously trying to revoke civil rights legislation, at least in California.
Which, it'll come next to the federal government, I assure you, and it'll come under the guise of probably, like, trans rights, I'd imagine.
Something to that effect.
What they're doing in California is under the guise of affirmative action.
They want to hire based on race.
They're stripping away our rights, and they've already been taking them away.
It's freedoms, sure, but it's our civil rights.
Our right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is gone.
Under COVID, it is gone.
unidentified
100%.
tim pool
Yep, seems like it.
These governors are crushing industry, crushing businesses.
And there you go.
And what do we get?
Internationally, they are calling for, quite literally, our blood.
adam crigler
Yeah, you're right.
They're calling for our blood.
Nope.
Isn't it against some religions?
lydia smith
It is, yeah.
adam crigler
Yeah, it's like, how are they going to get around that?
lydia smith
Well, you can't accept blood.
I'm not sure if you can not give it.
adam crigler
No, there's some religions where you can't get your, you can't pierce your own skin.
At all.
Like that's against people's religion.
lydia smith
Well, I don't think we care.
adam crigler
The freedoms are being taken away right in front of our eyes.
unidentified
Yeah, dude.
adam crigler
It's like people people are like, well, why don't you run for office?
It's like I'm sitting here talking about this.
I'm telling you guys I'm I'm yeah, some people say I get emotional but I you should be too.
You should be mad.
This is insane.
It's happening right in front of our eyes.
And if you're not mad, then what is wrong with you?
We all are.
Why are you laughing?
It's not even funny.
lydia smith
If you're not mad, you're not paying attention.
adam crigler
Thank you.
lydia smith
That's the saying.
That's why I laugh, because it's true.
unidentified
100%.
lydia smith
You should be mad about this.
This should be something that you care about.
And I don't think people care about it anymore, because I think life is too easy.
Honestly, I don't know how else to put it.
We've been really lucky.
This is what our parents fought for, and we should be grateful.
But at the same time, why are we just going to let it go away?
Honestly, is this really what we want?
If you care about your kids, then you should do something.
tim pool
I can't find the travel map.
I was trying to find the travel map that they've been sharing.
I can't remember which source it was.
But it's a map of the Earth.
And it's like, the countries in blue are where you can travel to as an American.
And there's like four countries.
So I was talking to my friend in Ukraine.
Because before, you know, at the end of last year, I had actually went and hung out with her in Mexico.
And...
I was like, man, isn't it so great to have an American passport?
It's so difficult for people from other countries to travel.
Even for her to go to Mexico, it's like you've got to get an application or whatever.
But they have a new treaty.
And then here I am with this golden ticket.
I can fly wherever I want.
And now, eight, nine months later, you can't go anywhere.
It's like they're basically telling us we have to fall in line with what they want or else.
Conveniently, right as Donald Trump is running for re-election.
It's, you know, how fortunate.
Or unfortunate, to be honest, because it may result in such a massive backlash that Trump wins in a ridiculous landslide.
adam crigler
I think that's going to happen.
Definitely.
tim pool
But what's crazy about this today, compared to the other landslides, is that the whole world is involved with COVID.
The entire planet.
I mean, I guess, except Sweden, which kind of never did anything.
adam crigler
And their deaths are dropping.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
And their caseloads are dropping.
lydia smith
Yeah, I was encouraged.
tim pool
I don't know.
All I know is, since the start of this, it's been lie after lie.
There's a really funny post going viral on Reddit right now, where it's... Do you know the subreddit Am I the A-Hole?
adam crigler
I don't read it.
tim pool
There's a very popular subreddit called Am I the A-Hole, where somebody, you know, they use the real swear.
But basically what you do is you say, Hey, today, you know, my girlfriend made me pancakes and I didn't eat them because I had a stomachache and now she's upset.
Am I the a-hole?
It's like, that's how it works.
Typically the stories are a bit more complicated than that, where they'll say something like, I bought tickets to an island vacation without consulting my wife.
It was a surprise.
Then it turns out she really hates, you know, this, you know, islands and she's upset.
Am I the a-hole?
And one of them was, It said, I made my kid wear a mask to school even though the school mandated he not be allowed to wear it.
Am I the a-hole?
And they all said, yes.
Why are you teaching your kid to be paranoid?
Why are you telling your kid to wear masks?
Don't you know wearing masks is wrong?
You're so dumb.
And it was from four months ago.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
Yeah, four months ago, they said, you're an a-hole if you wear a mask.
lydia smith
Wow.
tim pool
They, you're an a-hole if you don't.
And what are we seeing?
You know what, man?
There was a guy eating lunch with his wife, and they had masks.
They took them off to eat their food, and the lady got mad, and she sprayed them.
There was another story of a guy who was, he took off his mask to eat, I think, a banana, and some guy started, splashed him in the face with coffee, so he punched the other guy in the face.
Like, all over masks.
So since the beginning of this, we've seen a violation of our rights.
Businesses have been illegally shut down.
People have been arrested for running their businesses.
And that's it.
Carry on.
It's like, is the world ending or something?
Is the simulation over?
Is the meteor— the alien's gonna be here and like, we gotta— They're like, quick, everybody, put on your best uniform.
Everybody get in line, because the aliens are gonna land.
I have no idea what's going on, but I'll tell you this.
adam crigler
No, it's simple, Tim.
They need to get Trump out of office so they don't all go to jail.
lydia smith
I think you're right.
tim pool
That is the simple solution, man.
adam crigler
I'm dead serious.
That's all it is.
tim pool
We're going to go to jail unless we... No, not us.
adam crigler
The people that are making this all happen.
tim pool
That's what I mean.
That's what they're saying.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
They're like, uh-oh, what do we do?
adam crigler
We're getting called out.
We need this all to go away.
Trump is not doing it because he's after us.
And yeah, they're scared.
And they should be because Trump's going to win.
And they're going to go to jail, I believe.
tim pool
Yeah, but don't you think they'd go a bit above and beyond cheating?
adam crigler
What do you think 2020 is, dude?
tim pool
It's the cheat year.
adam crigler
Yeah.
Is this not above and beyond, Tim?
lydia smith
All right.
tim pool
So here's the big question, then.
If November 4th rolls around and they say Joe Biden won, what do you do?
Let's say it's like voting went off without a hitch.
Joe Biden wins in a landslide.
Donald Trump says, I lost everybody.
Joe Biden immediately comes out and says the Durham investigation is over.
Done.
On the 20th, the day I'm inaugurated, I am putting an end to all of this.
All of Trump's policies erased.
unidentified
You know what I'm going to do if that's the case?
tim pool
Crack open some whiskey.
adam crigler
The only thing I can do.
lydia smith
You know what I would do?
You know what I would do?
tim pool
What would you do?
lydia smith
I would get out my little ballot at the next election and I would vote someone's butt into office who would help hold him accountable.
That would be the only thing I could do.
I couldn't condone rioting.
adam crigler
Everything would be gone.
tim pool
Oh no, rioting doesn't work.
That's the issue.
adam crigler
Everything would be gone.
Any evidence that's there is gone if he gets into public- That's, come on.
tim pool
You know what I think, man? They didn't think Trump was gonna win, so they didn't clean up house.
adam crigler
I know, I know.
tim pool
So they were like, I'm imagining Obama doing the Obamagate stuff with Biden and Michael Flynn,
and they're like, or before this, before Trump actually won, should we burn these documents? No.
No, Trump can't win.
It's fine.
Then Trump wins, and they're like, oh jeez.
lydia smith
They had an insurance policy.
tim pool
Yeah, they did.
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
FBI agents talking about their insurance policy to stop Trump from winning.
adam crigler
Yep.
Straight up saying, don't worry, he's not going to win.
We won't let him.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
That's on the record.
tim pool
What did she say?
Like, thank God or something?
adam crigler
I don't know exactly that, but she did say that we're not going to let him win.
tim pool
Didn't she get hired by MSNBC?
lydia smith
She is a commentator now.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah.
Yep.
So, so is McCabe.
tim pool
So, I don't know.
I don't know, man.
I'm not 100% convinced that all of this goes away if Trump wins.
I just know that Joe Biden can't, he can't win.
adam crigler
Nope.
tim pool
I mean, it's, and it's beyond all of this insanity that's been happening around the country.
It's the fact that if you remove all of that from the equation, you've got a creepy dude who gropes little girls who falls asleep on TV.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Who in their right mind would vote for this man?
adam crigler
I have no idea.
I don't understand the people.
Not to mention his history of bills that he's put up and the racist stuff.
Like, he's literally racist.
Did you hear what he said recently?
Oh, goodness.
Another thing.
Great.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
About how people can't distinct... He basically said all Asians look the same.
And I said, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, that's not true, man.
adam crigler
Well, in this instance, you're just white in this instance, right?
Right, of course.
lydia smith
Because you ain't black.
tim pool
The fact that he would say something as insanely racist as, he basically said that when Trump criticizes China, it's racist because the average person can't tell the difference.
In his mind. That's ridiculous. Between like someone from South Korea or China
Yes, and that's one of the one of the most insane things It's like the dudes never actually
Traveled or met any of these people, but he actually says this and they're like that's right Joe
Look, why would you agree with this man?
That's not true.
adam crigler
I don't understand anyone that supports that guy.
tim pool
Yup.
adam crigler
Anyone that supports him, all I can think is, oh, you're misinformed.
unidentified
Oh.
Cute.
adam crigler
Oh, that's sad.
That's where I'm at right now.
tim pool
You know what I hear from people on the left, when they're like, when I talk about the guy throwing the explosive, for instance, they're like, Tim's lying, he won't talk about the peaceful protests.
And I was like, there was a peaceful protest, and then a bunch of people started throwing explosives.
So that's the story, right?
What do you want me to say?
You want me to lie and remove the explosives part?
Yes, they do.
They literally do.
During Occupy Wall Street, I would film anything.
Cop, protester, or otherwise.
I just filmed what was going on.
I actually had them physically threaten me that I needed to stop filming them or else.
The reason they tried taking a light approach was because I was getting a ton of attention for them.
So long as it was beneficial, they were happy.
Recently, I had this Antifa guy tell me That back in the day, when we used to talk about the rights of freedom of expression, liberalism, free speech, etc., they were using me.
They knew that as long as I was hanging out with them and was friends with them, people were more likely to see a positive view of them.
And the moment that camp broke up and I left, I was absolutely their enemy.
So, during Occupy many of them physically attacked me.
This is what I love the most, when people comment on my posts and they're like, Tsk tsk Tim, condemning the activists, what happened to you since Occupy?
And I'm like, did you not remember that during Occupy Wall Street, the Antifa type, we called them, we just called them Black Block, were physically attacking me, like, on numerous occasions?
Like, there's video of it because I filmed them breaking the law and I yelled, I will film you breaking the law and you can't do anything about it.
They've never liked me because I've always been about transparency and accountability.
Well, they don't want that for themselves.
lydia smith
Funny that.
tim pool
We should read Super Chats!
lydia smith
Yes!
adam crigler
Yes, we should.
tim pool
Let's see.
Joshua Kitchen says, Read Craig Carter comment on civil forfeiture.
That is a good topic, too.
Yes, absolutely.
David Arnold says, I live in Kotzebue, Alaska, population 3,000.
I agree, get the hell out of the cities.
It's awesome being in a small, tight community.
Love your show, guys.
And Adam, keep fighting for hope.
adam crigler
I won't stop.
Thank you for that.
tim pool
Don't stop fighting that smash button.
You just gotta smash that like button.
adam crigler
I won't.
tim pool
That's a smash button.
adam crigler
I'm just gonna say, someone actually sent me these glasses.
lydia smith
Those are neat.
adam crigler
These are actually a really quality whiskey glass.
It's the Glencairn glass.
This is a crazy story.
I actually went and bought four, like a pack, myself.
And then I got home and I got it in the mail.
So that same day that I went and bought myself these exact glasses, I bought like these glasses.
They were in the mail from somebody.
If you're out there, thank you very much.
I returned the ones that I bought because you supplied them to me.
So thank you very much.
Cheers.
lydia smith
Great story, man.
I love it.

But I'm leaning towards playing.
We'll see what happens.

Yeah, you should play.

We got a super chat here from Raymond Fry.
He says, First time donating.
I am a combat vet, 25th ID.
I don't know how to say this properly.
1-27 Infantry Regiment.
I have been depressed lately because of the upcoming election.
Yet Adam's coming to see the other side is hopeful.
Also, Rasmussen has him at 50-48.
I just hope more people wake up.
That's right, Rasmussen has Trump at 50% approval to 48 disapproval.
I love it when all of these lefties come out and start laughing, saying, Rasmussen's wrong!
Except for the fact that Rasmussen had, I think, hit the nail on the head in 2016.
Yep.
And the other polls were wrong.
Rasmussen was actually one of the most accurate.
Now, they could be wrong, it's true.
adam crigler
Nah, Trump's gonna win.
Trump 2020.
Alright, man.
tim pool
Well, Joshua Kitchen says Unity 2020.
Is it the Kanye West ticket?
adam crigler
I'm kidding, I know, I know.
It's a pipe dream.
Trump's gonna win.
Trump 2020.
tim pool
Commander 232 says, Adam, I am with you.
I, as a person in the FPS branch of the DHS, am doing everything I can, but Tim, I do have to say, if all options end up failing, I am willing to take up arms to defend the Constitution.
I won't stand for this.
I sadly have lost all morality towards these people.
adam crigler
I'm spinning the UFO for you, sir.
tim pool
Be careful when fighting monsters, lest ye become one.
For when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back.

Yes. Fight for America. That's what it feels like we're fighting for.

Stephen Veweg says, if they arrest white people for rap, wouldn't they also arrest people for rock
and roll because it's based on the blues? Theoretically, yes.
Absolutely.
unidentified
100%.
adam crigler
Nothing's gonna be legal.
tim pool
I had a conversation with someone a long time ago about rock and roll.
And someone told me that it was stolen culture from the black community or whatever.
And I was like, oh, explain that.
What does that mean?
And they were like, it came from blues.
And I was like, and where did blues come from?
adam crigler
Did they have an answer for you?
tim pool
I was like, who created stringed instruments?
I was like, dude, the point is we share cultures.
I don't care where it came from.
adam crigler
We're all humans.
We all bleed the same color.
tim pool
Yup.
adam crigler
It's cultural appreciation.
lydia smith
It crisscrosses back and forth all the way.
tim pool
Mark G says, you see Tim, I can no longer sit back and allow leftist infiltration and indoctrination to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Dr. StrangeBeanie, or how Tim cast blackpilled Adam in 100 episodes.
Also, you gotta fight for your rights.
adam crigler
I'm not blackpilled.
That's when you succumb to the stuff and get pessimistic and think life's over.
tim pool
I think Black Pill is well beyond that, and people need to separate the distinction between the reality and defeatism.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
And so this isn't defeatism, this is me literally telling people to stand up now.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
That people need to, first of all, go out and vote.
We need people to speak up.
That's as simple as it is.
But I gotta tell you what, man, the odds are staggering, it would seem.
Or maybe the news is just fake.
We'll see what happens.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe both.
tim pool
I'll tell you what, they rag on Trump for him asking the question about delaying the election.
Mail-in voting literally is delaying the election.
I'm not even exaggerating.
adam crigler
Well, I think, honestly, I think he did that as a move for them to be like, we can't do this.
And then he's like, good, that's what I wanted.
I don't want to delay the election.
tim pool
Now that they've decried it, he can say, due to mail-in voting, the election is being delayed.
What should we do?
And then people are going to be like, uh.
adam crigler
Right.
tim pool
NPR said it will be the election month.
adam crigler
Or how Gavin Newsom, when the USPS was like, we might not be able to survive.
We might have to close down.
And he's like, this is not okay.
tim pool
Oh, to the post office.
Yeah.
adam crigler
It's like, hmm.
Well, if the economy stays shut, they're going to go under.
And if you, you know, you can either, you can open up the economy.
unidentified
Hmm.
adam crigler
Why not try that?
tim pool
Yeah.
LadyPhoenixGrey says, our rights are being taken.
Our rights aren't being taken.
Most people are willingly giving them away at this point for some semblance of safety.
Our founding fathers and better minds who came before warned of this.
Folks need to be educated, locked and loaded, and ready for what comes next.
adam crigler
Yeah, and people are taking it.
The people, the powers that be, are taking advantage of that.
That's why.
They're taking advantage of that good nature that is most Americans.
Yep.
tim pool
I think ultimately right now we've got an election coming up.
People need to peacefully protest.
A lot of the talk about Lock and Loaded and stuff is just too far beyond for me.
It's like, listen man, you see what happens in Seattle when people get violent?
Trump started winning.
His approval rating started going back up.
Because violent riots started waking people up to exactly what was going on.
Scaring them.
But as long as they were peacefully protesting, Trump's approval rating was going down.
We saw the scientific research.
If you peacefully protest, if you speak up, and you get loud enough, and you come across as calm, professional, caring... Martin Luther King, baby.
Exactly.
adam crigler
That's why I always tell people... That was a boss right there.
tim pool
I would always try to argue with the people who were calling for violence or, you know, saying things like getting armed and stuff like that, in the sense of, like, conflict.
I don't mean in, like, personal safety.
That if you adopt the tactics of your enemy, you are not creating a better world and you are not defending a better world.
You are creating literally what they want you to, a violent world.
So that's why it's very difficult to fight for liberty and freedom, because...
Cheaters can win, you know?
They have a huge advantage in their willingness to cheat that we don't have trying to be peaceful.
I'm fighting off a sneeze, by the way, it happens.

And April May June says, if this passes, we should take a bet on how quickly all of the businesses close.
I'm going with one week.
And that's a reference to Seattle's police being abolished.
Good Mitchie says, human beings are inherently good and evil.
Interesting.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
The Scott says, Hey Adam, if people are generally good, why do year old babies need to be taught not to just take whatever they want from other babies?
People are inherently selfish and we learn how to work towards shared selfish goals.
adam crigler
Okay.
tim pool
Interesting.
Alicia Dupuis, City of Midland, Ontario, ended local PD.
OPP took over.
Would country or state police just take over jurisdiction of Seattle?
Probably?
Yeah, I think so.
Interesting.
adam crigler
Hold on, hold on.
That was a question to me, and I was just pondering it for a second.
I've seen babies give away their toys.
I've got 40 cousins.
Huge family.
I've got lots of kids that I've helped raise myself.
I've seen kids give their candy to others when they're crying.
So it's like, that's a great example, but how about the rest of them?
For every one person you're telling me that took took some toy from someone else I've seen another kid walk over and give their toy to that same kid.
That's now crying because their toy was stolen you know, so it's like anyone can be evil anyone can be good and And it depends on the person that they're interacting with to any any environment every single situation is different We can't you know, this is this is the issue everyone keeps narrowing it down to one thing one issue when every issue is is a complex puzzle that we have to take five, ten steps back to get a good view of it all.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
VillaMusicDude says, There is a leftist cartoon online about a police officer holding up the community's problems and the weight is crazy.
The next scene shows a bunch of social housing, mental health, and wealth redistribution programs.
Then he says, And all of a sudden, magically, the weight is off his shoulders.
It's so utopian, yet I see so many people share it.
Organized criminals have homes, healthcare, and all the money they need.
Doesn't stop them from doing crime.
Exactly.
So the comic is, a cop is holding a bunch of rocks.
And the rocks say things like, healthcare crisis, and housing crisis, or whatever.
And then, when a bunch of social workers show up, the cop's standing there all happy, holding up law and order on his shoulder, or whatever.
Not realizing that all of these things are interconnected, you know.
And that's part of the issue.
Let's see, where are we at?
Mitomen says, who elected the media?
Asks Yuri Bezmenov.
On YouTube, you can elect the media.
That's why it needs to be censored.
You guys in the US are fighting a culture war, and the whole world is watching.
Props from Hungary.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
Mr. Obiwan says, not voting is still a choice.
In our society, it's our responsibility to be aware of the politics on the local, state, and federal level.
If you don't vote, it doesn't mean you're not partially responsible when things go crazy.
And that's why I pulled up that comic of the guy in the guillotine saying, I don't care for politics.
adam crigler
Well, you know, that's fine, but... We all need to care about politics.
tim pool
Crichton says 7 of the 9 Seattle Council spots were on the ballot last November.
I heard it reported that only 30% of registered Seattle voters participated.
If that is accurate, the voters created their own monster.
And it may be that come the next election, there is a landslide which purges all of these officials.
adam crigler
Let's do it.
tim pool
Hopefully.
Cloud G says, Seaside Heights, New Jersey had a pro-Trump stand with police watching over it.
There were a lot of people shopping, buying Trump 2020 hats.
I've yet to see any pro-Biden shops or yard signs in New Jersey.
Has anyone seen a real Biden sign?
adam crigler
One person found one somewhere in Florida.
They sent it to me.
They were like, It's true.
I've seen it.
It's the real thing.
And it was a, you know, it was a legitimate Biden sign.
So one, I've seen one Biden sign.
I've seen with my own eyes, countless Trump signs.
tim pool
Yep.
adam crigler
Throughout our own neighborhood.
Driving down the street.
tim pool
So listen, we're in a deep blue district.
adam crigler
Yes, we are.
tim pool
And not too far away, someone's flying a Blue Lives Matter sign.
Openly, in front of their house, literally within a few blocks.
adam crigler
Yep.
tim pool
And it's also, but it's also got the law enforcement and federal, it's got federal law enforcement, police, and military.
It's the one with the multiple colors on it.
It's like green, orange, and blue, I think.
adam crigler
People aren't working, they're literally watching what's going on.
They're seeing the craziness.
They're watching the presence.
tim pool
What's the Thomas Sowell quote?
I, like most people, have never met a pollster or something like that?
adam crigler
Uh, yeah, I don't remember.
tim pool
Something like that?
unidentified
Yeah.
What was that?
tim pool
Could you look that up?
lydia smith
I'll look it up for you.
tim pool
Yeah, the exact quote was like a funny point Thomas Sowell mentioned.
Forest Horlocker says, First time catching the live show, you guys and gal rock.
Keep up the good work.
Spin it.

I will spin it.
Yes.

The UFO shall be spun.
Gareth Green says, an anarchist drug dealer friend recently asked me how I could call myself a libertarian if I'm not happy to see a federal courthouse burn.
Because my understanding of big L libertarian is some government, not no government.
Unless you're an anarcho-capitalist, in which case you're like, no government!
And then our rivers burst into flames.
Literally.
Oh, I read that one.
Sorry.
time donating oh I read that one sorry Tim H says a rifle behind every blade of
grass and blue helmets make good targets I don't know what that means but please
adam crigler
no violence I think I have something at the UN coming in Or no, they're white helmets?

Maybe they're blue.

Thank you.
Medigan says, okay, it's really time to get organized and start standing up.

Yes.
tim pool
Everyone, they will enact laws that will go against everything you believe in
very soon.
This is a now or never moment who is going to stand and fight and where.
adam crigler
Thank you.
tim pool
And it's definitely again, the election is the most important thing.
adam crigler
Yeah, but then you call these same people out for just doing nothing and waiting for the election.
How can you just sit there and say that with a straight face?
tim pool
The election's in a few months.
adam crigler
Yeah, I know, but come on, man.
tim pool
And now we need super majorities, and then you hold the politicians accountable to go and pass a bunch of reforms and knock all this stuff out of the park and end it.
adam crigler
So yeah, so vote.
tim pool
Right.
adam crigler
You were calling these people out for not doing anything, and just sitting there doing nothing, waiting to vote.
And now you're just saying that's what they need to do, is just vote.
I just find it a little silly that that's your stance now.
tim pool
You're for some reason just making up that by me saying get ready to vote, I'm saying don't protest anymore?
I've literally been telling people to stand up to their bosses and their jobs, and call their politicians endlessly, and the big fight coming up is the election.
adam crigler
Okay.
Alright.
tim pool
Gareth Green, again, says, I'm a rich kid from California, and my parents are looking to get their money out of the country and possibly move out of the state, if not the country themselves.
unidentified
Yeah, well, if you have, uh... If you can leave, right?
tim pool
With your passport, yeah.
adam crigler
From what I'm finding out, you can't even leave anymore.
tim pool
The New York Times had an article talking about which places you can go to as of now.
And it's a bunch of really small, like, Caribbean nations and stuff.
But in the past couple of weeks, there's been, yeah, like, countries have said no to Americans.
adam crigler
I mean, do you think that's because of COVID?
Or do you think that's because America just seems crazy to the, you know, global scene?
Or do you think it has something to do with... Well, they say it's COVID.
All right.
tim pool
Because like all these European countries like we got under control in the US doesn't yeah When do we or I don't even know if it's if it's true anymore That well that we have it under control or not.
adam crigler
I feel like they're just politicizing it trying to keep everyone afraid I don't know man.
They're trying to make it so that the people that that don't wear masks are crazy Trump supporters And it's like I wear a mask.
I'm a Trump supporter like what are you talking about?
tim pool
It's crazy there was a tweet from somebody a resistance guy one of these like never Trump or whatever's and Yeah.
Who said something like, if you want things to return to normal, vote for Biden.
It was something like that.
It was like, certainly if you want things to return to normal, then the smartest thing you would do is vote for Biden.
adam crigler
That's the, uh, I believe that's called the blue pill.
You wake up, you go, go back to work.
Like nothing's happened.
You don't know what's really going on.
That's what they want.
They want the wool pulled back over your eyes so they can continue doing what they're doing.
tim pool
I think this was actually the... That's pretty accurate.
adam crigler
That's Biden right there.
tim pool
This was the ultimatum.
This was the demand.
If you want your life back, get on your knees now and accept it.
adam crigler
That's so messed up.
Where is that from?
tim pool
It was some NeverTrumper guy tweeted it.
Now, I think the point he was trying to make the point where it's like Biden will fix everything and your lives will be like they used to be.
adam crigler
Yeah, but that's... Remember the good old days?
That's a threat, what they were saying.
tim pool
I mean, to me it was.
adam crigler
Yeah, I mean, to most sane people, that's what it was.
Chris Brown says, hey guys, I'm a Navy vet and a Christian.
I've been listening to you guys every night for a while now.

Wild Head Fox says, what do you think of setting a max 20 years in politics at any level?
20 years total to spend as a governor, senator, rep, etc.
at any level.
adam crigler
Yes.
tim pool
Take care of these do-nothing incumbents and stop Sanders-like folks who never worked a real job a day in their lives.
It's actually a really good point about term limits.
adam crigler
I love it.
I want term limits.
Get these incumbents that have been sitting there for 50 years doing nothing, blaming everyone else on what's actually going on when they're the ones not fixing anything.
tim pool
And Bernie, who's never had a real job.
adam crigler
He never has, that's true.
tim pool
Yeah, he's only ever done politics.
adam crigler
He tried being in a commune and got kicked out.
lydia smith
For being too lazy, right?
adam crigler
Is that what it was?
No, it wasn't for being too lazy.
It's because he was talking about socialism with everyone.
And they were like, dude, stop.
We got to work the fields.
He's like, yeah, but socialism.
They're like, get out of here.
unidentified
Why don't you give me the food you grew?
tim pool
Because we got to share.

And then I'll go and read a book about socialism.
tim pool
That's a winning strategy.
That's an exaggerated Bernie Sanders.
Byron Banks says, Hey Tim and Adam, why aren't the Dems agreeing with Trump on the voting
delay Trump proposed?
It's an opportunity to re-roll the primaries and get someone in there that isn't a documented
racist.
adam crigler
Orange man bad.
Anything he says, they gotta go against.
tim pool
Even if it would advantage them.
Like the Babylon Bee says in its joke article, in a genius move Trump supports impeachment, forcing Democrats to oppose.
adam crigler
I was just informed by the awesome chat, a Neo is a near-Earth object.

Garrett Chan says, we need to reboot our government.
The game froze.
Eject the cartridge and start from the last save point.
Hopefully this time we can do better.
But that's the argument they're making for Biden.
The argument for Biden is to bring it back to the Obama era when things were nice.
It's like, you liked it during Obama, right?
Everything was great.
adam crigler
Yeah, but they don't realize that that era was nice from, like, the years, like, decades, decades of stuff that has been going on.
tim pool
Well, it was coming right after the Great Recession.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
And the other issue is, regardless, those days aren't coming back.

No, no, you don't get it, man.
You can have these smaller channels, but this show, Timcast IRL, is up to half a million subscribers.

I'm really grateful to all of you guys who are watching.
We have about 132,000 subscribers in the past month alone.
People are starting to take notice.
Prominent far leftists are starting to complain.
They're starting to screenshot things and complain about it on their shows.
And they are going to come after us to the best of their abilities.
adam crigler
Yeah, they don't want people having this kind of conversation.
We don't always agree.
But we're still friends.
But even today, it's like, yeah, sure, it might have gotten a little emotional, but it's like, we're still going to be friends.
We're still going to do the show because this is important.
You know, it's like people need to know that you can have a conversation, disagree, maybe change your mind.
But that's also okay.
But you can be wrong.
tim pool
But we're disagreeing on technically what we agree on.
adam crigler
I know, you're right.
tim pool
Like, true.
adam crigler
That's true.
tim pool
The level to which people would stand up.
Will they be strong enough?
adam crigler
Right, right, right.
tim pool
What's the right way to do it?
adam crigler
Yeah, I see what you mean.
tim pool
The core of the conversation is we must stand up for ourselves and resist authoritarianism.
unidentified
Oh, I was gonna say Trump 2020, but... No, no, it's not that.
adam crigler
No, you're right.
I know what you mean.
tim pool
For a lot of people, Trump is the, you know, put him in the pilot seat and have him steer this plane.
adam crigler
Yeah.
tim pool
But for me, it's more about, yes, I get it, but individually, stand up for what you believe and stand up for your rights and call them out.
They don't like it.
They function like a collective.
They have priests, you know, in a figurative sense, and then you have a bunch of blind masses that just say, yep, whatever you say, and they are coming for our rights.
You literally have the World Economic Forum saying they want to take your blood so that you can travel and go to sporting events.
Now granted, it is an international policy and it might not be able to be done in the United States.
There was an interesting thing that happened a while ago about, there was this forum in Europe about banning hate speech and the U.S.
tech companies resisted to a certain degree, or I think it was Trump actually, they asked if he would agree to this pledge to combat hate speech and he said, we can't, we have the First Amendment, I'm not allowed to do that.
adam crigler
Wow.
tim pool
That's one of the biggest problems for a lot of these big international agreements.
Our Constitution.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
And they have turned it into Swiss cheese.
The Democrats have.
adam crigler
Well, they're trying to.
tim pool
They've been doing it.
adam crigler
They're approaching it with a lighter.
They're walking slowly and hoping no one notices, but they're getting closer and closer to it.
tim pool
And you know what they do?
You know what they're really good at?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Claiming it's Trump who's doing what they're doing.
adam crigler
I know, it's true.
tim pool
For real.
adam crigler
It's Trump!
No, look, he's the racist.
unidentified
He's the one trying to segregate everybody and blah blah blah blah blah blah.
adam crigler
It's you.
You're doing it, Democrats.
You are.
God, man.
lydia smith
Objection, man.
tim pool
AlternativeJK says, YouTuber Tyrone Magnus had a video a few days ago at the Very Atlas Gym in South Jersey.
I think you guys are neighbors.
He did a reaction video for Jakari Jackson and is solid.
It would be cool if y'all can do a Timcast IRL before you move.
We can maybe figure something out.
I'll look into him.
Tyrone Magnus.
I live very, very close to Atlas Gym.
We drove over there and actually talked to people when this was going down.
adam crigler
Islay Gold, 25 year.
Oh, it's good.
It's smooth.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know what I was drinking.
lydia smith
Tyrone Magnus?
tim pool
Make sure.
So I'm gonna say this again.
adam crigler
I'm gonna go set up.
tim pool
If you really like this show, and you think the conversations we're having are important, rational, reasonable, and people need to hear them, please consider sharing it in some capacity.
It's probably the reason why we've been growing so tremendously.
I mean, when we first started the show in January, like the end of January, we were getting like 2,000 concurrent viewers, and now we're consistently hitting like 40 to 50,000.
You guys are all awesome.
I really, really appreciate everybody who's watching and listening.
And, I mean, that gives me hope.
I'm sure it gives Adam hope.
He's stoked.
It's like, wow, look at all these people who are saying, we agree.
We want to fight for these things.
We want to fight for our rights to stand up.
So I guess the most important thing we can do is In the conversation we're having, there are a lot of people that don't realize what's happening all around them.
Like that man in the guillotine saying, I don't care for politics.
There are a lot of people who don't realize.
I saw a video from somebody, I'll leave them unnamed for now, arguing about being in the center.
Saying, oh, you know, the right is always telling you you gotta believe this, and the left is always saying this.
Well, I just don't want to be involved with either.
And I'm like, you know, I remember when I felt that way five years ago, and something changed with the emergence of the intellectual dark web.
It was the acknowledgement that it isn't the right versus the left, it's the left versus everyone else.
When you have progressives like the Weinstein brothers, when you have psychologists like Jordan Peterson, he's a psychologist, right?
Yeah.
You have psychologists like him, and you have comedians like Joe Rogan, and then you have all of the other moderate or even liberal personalities who are challenging the same things conservatives are.
It's not a left or right thing.
It's the majority versus the fringe group of people that are taking everything over.
If we don't speak up now, then we will forever hold our peace.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
tim pool
And then after November, when this country is dramatically different and you don't recognize it anymore, and you've got these weird racial public health crises happening in your neighborhood, and they come to your house and say, the lawn ornaments in your lawn are racist and we want you to take them down, otherwise we're gonna fine you $50 a day through, you know, or you have to move, or some weird ridiculous thing starts happening, where the police illegally and unconstitutionally take away the firearms of a family that was following Castle Doctrine law in Missouri.
We get morality policing.
They release rioters.
They drop their charges.
This has been happening.
The riots are getting worse.
They're still happening.
60 days.
Now is the time to speak up or forever hold your peace.
So one thing you can do is, outside of anything we're talking about, just Smash that like button.
Smash that like button.
unidentified
That's what he was about to say.
tim pool
It's the only way to save the world.
lydia smith
That's the only way.
unidentified
You must smash the like button.
tim pool
If we get 50,000 likes, then everything just goes back to normal and Skittles are... That's the reset button.
Is that it?
unidentified
That's all we need?
tim pool
50,000 likes?
adam crigler
We can do that.
lydia smith
Come on, people.
adam crigler
Let's work together here.
tim pool
Share the show.
It's one thing you can do if you think we talk about important things.
Otherwise, share shows you do like.
If there are other personalities that are doing a good job calling this stuff out, then share them as well.
It's not even just about us, it's about freedom in general.
If you live in the UK, you've got Sargon of Akkad, you've got Count Dankula, for instance.
And in the US, obviously, we're lucky to have people like Joe Rogan, and other comedians, Dave Chappelle, and then you've got Ricky Gervais.
Hopefully not all is lost, it's just an election year.
And hopefully once the election simmers down, maybe we'll calm down a bit.
Until the next election year.
adam crigler
Yeah, maybe it will.
tim pool
So, I'll tell you what.
I've been thinking about this.
If 2016 was crazy and afterwards we had riots, it's like a wave, right?
We might be going down and we might see a huge spike in violence for this election, but not the end.
Not some kind of weird end of America, but then the wave drops down again and then the wave comes back up even bigger for 2024.
So this election year might not be the pivotal moment.
We might just be like, wow, everything's getting crazy.
This is a practice run?
Trump or Biden might win, and then 2024 could become the part where we just can't handle
the strain anymore. Is this a practice run? No, it's 2016 was. Oh, okay. 2016 got bad. 2020 is
about to get has been really, really bad. But imagine this carries on endlessly until the next
election cycle.
Imagine how bad 2024 will be.
So with that being said, my friends, make sure you smash the like button.
Hit that notification bell.

We do the show every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.

adam crigler
So this is my new guitar.
I love this thing so much.
It is beautiful.
It's Martin.
I have a travel Martin guitar.
But man, dude, does this thing just... It just spoke to me.
I walked in and I wanted to get my own guitar, because I don't have any of my guitars here, and I ended up walking away with this beauty right here, and she's nice.
Someone actually requested this song.
I just sent a tweet out earlier before the show, like what should I play, and someone asked me to play the song about my wife, and she just got back from Sweden yesterday, and I'm really happy to have her back.
unidentified
So I'm gonna play this song.
Because it's about her.
I took a walk tonight with my love.
And all the cats are in the street.
Like us, they're trying to find a way home.
Yeah, face life and lay on their feet.
Talking about those little things.
Little things that make you sing and feel alright.
A natural high and silent.
Like sunshine and rain.
Fresh coffee to start my day.
Well, I'm just glad I found my way home.
I've been walking it so long, when I'm walking with you.
Sun sets along the colonnade.
We're all good dogs and better on their way.
Like us, they're trying to find their peace of mind.
Yeah.
Face life and its insanities.
Talking about those little things.
Little things make you sing and feel alright A natural high inside
Oh, sunshine and rain A fresh cold bit of stop my day
Well I'm just glad I found my way home With you
I've been walking it so long, but I'm wandering you.
I'm walking with you.
And I felt it from the start.
A connection from the start.
I've been walking it so long.
I'm walking with you.
I've been walking it so long.
When I'm walking with you I'm walking with you
I'm walking with you I'm walking with you
I'm walking with you I'm walking with you
Woo!

Alright.
tim pool
Yeah, because someone said please.
unidentified
Yes!
lydia smith
Oh, that was nice.
unidentified
That's great.
tim pool
Hopefully the sound levels are all good and all that jazz.
unidentified
I'm sure they are.
Oh man, that is a beautiful guitar.
tim pool
Alright, sounds great.
I've been working on a couple new songs, but with my work schedule.
So I'm just gonna try and play a song.
It's usually about trying to play.
unidentified
And tuning.
tim pool
Should be good.
This song is called Lies Don't Become You.
unidentified
You'd hope enough and you'd hope to leave your mark or take the road.
You you
The dirt shows where the trees cannot grow But would you sell?
Would you sell it all to save yourself?
Lies, oh lies.
Don't become you to form a better person inside.
It's like we always knew just where to rest our hearts inside the hearts of a friend.
All for the martyrs. To hope enough that your cause can move far enough to reach the stars.
All for the martyrs. To hope enough that your cause can move farther or take the road.
you The water shows where the trees cannot grow
Oh would you sell?
Would you sell it all to save yourself?
Lies, oh lies, don't concern you.
We'll form a better person inside.
It's like we always knew just where to rest our hearts inside
The hearts of a friend who never thought that we would see again
you And so you sold, you sold me to save yourself.
lydia smith
I think that's the first time I've heard that one.
That's a cool song.
unidentified
Thanks, bye. Yep.
Thank you.
Alright.
I'm gonna warm up the fingers a little bit.
you you
Green tea Sunday Impure breaking of the dawn Lazy morning
Roll back over, sleep till noon Or the afternoon
Something has got a hold on me Tasty weekend
Impure breaking of the law.
I'm cloudy yet weightless.
Suppressing all those things I do but I shouldn't do.
Something's gotta hold on me.
You used to draw me pictures in the dark and erase them with a smiling face.
Too bad all those dreams seem to fade away The haunting green tea.
Impure breaking of my mind.
The silent excuses.
I know I sometimes lose control.
That was the start of it all.
Something's got a hold on me You used to draw me pictures in the dark
I Erase them with a smiling face.
Too bad all those dreams seem to fade away ş
ş ş
adam crigler
Wooh!
unidentified

adam crigler
Yeah.
All right.
So that was called Green Tea.
unidentified
Oh man.
tim pool
I don't think I've ever I've played this song for anybody in like ten years
unidentified
Follow until it's our turn to die. We're slowly marching to our suicide
Instead of living, tell me what to do.
Instead of dreaming, let me die for you.
If I could see the darkness shroud the eyes of the tainted minds, I'd be alright.
We're marching, we're marching to the beat of genocide.
We're killing at the whims and tides of our nation so we can be the biggest baddie across the sea.
Break free from controlled reality and find your way from this to get away from it.
But I Could not find a better way from all the better things that you give to me.
Oh no, not I Could not find a better way
From all the better things That you give to me
The shadows, the shadows of the former enterprise The institutions made to control your lives
Were inside breeding, concocting all the lies That we used to control your minds
Break free from controlled reality to find your way from this, to fight your way from Can I find a better way from all the better things that you give to me?
Oh no, not I Can not find a better way
From all the better things That you give to me
And I need this more than you will ever know I was singing along.
adam crigler
You said ten years, but I remember you played that when I was crashing on your couch in Brooklyn.
And we were actually jamming a lot at that point.
unidentified
It's still hot.
adam crigler
Oh no, my pick is gone.
unidentified
Oh no!
The picks!
adam crigler
Oh, I see one on the ground.
unidentified
Nice!
Score!
I found a pick.
I found a pick.
so do

if justice is dead then it's worth liberating If justice is death, then it's worth liberating
If justice is death, then it's worth liberating If justice is death, then it's worth liberating
If justice is death, then it's worth liberating If justice is death, then it's worth liberating
If justice is death, then it's worth liberating And these are my thoughts for you
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for watching!
adam crigler
Thank you.
That one's, uh, that's called, uh, If Justice is Dead.
What time do we got?
unidentified
It's 1027.
adam crigler
I'll play one more.
unidentified
Play?
tim pool
You gotta play one of the, one of the classic singles, man.
adam crigler
Well, I, I, well, I was gonna say Melancholy Hellhound, someone asked, I played that last week, though.
tim pool
So then what's, what's, what's, what's the other one?
adam crigler
Takin' It Back?
unidentified
Yes.
Alright.
Actually, I have the, I just wanted to double check something.
adam crigler
Nah.
Whatever, I don't care.
unidentified
Okay.
If I was a younger man, I'd probably make the same mistake twice.
The closer the heart is, the harder it becomes to do what's right.
Even through the thick and thin, secretly we want to win.
Well, I'm takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back.
It's time to confess our sins.
before this world you've built crumbles away I've spent some time lost in my mind, disappointed
Well that's just the sting from expecting and that's what you get
Oh, it's a simple sac- It's a simple sacrifice.
Drop a little bit of pride.
I know it's exhausting.
And taking it back, taking it back, taking it back It's time to find me
Before that world I've built crumbles away It started with cold feet, let me begin again
Hindsight's obviously the clearest option.
I'm taking it back with all that I believe in.
Everything happens, I won't fight the reasons.
You say you've learned from your mistakes and you're experienced.
And then comes the day from left field as they say has left you in a daze.
Oh, it happens all the time, a high tide of the mind struggling for oxygen.
Oh, and taking it back, taking it back, taking it back, it's the only option.
Whoa, before that world you've built crumbles away.
started with coffee I love that guitar, my goodness.
Good fun.
I guess that just about concludes the jam night.
I'll get back with all that I believe in.
If everything happens, I won't fight the reasons.
Whew.
adam crigler
Thank you, everybody.
unidentified
Whew.
adam crigler
I love that guitar.
My goodness.
unidentified
Come back over.
Good fun.
tim pool
I guess that just about concludes the jam night.
adam crigler
That was pretty fun.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
adam crigler
Love it.
Hey, everybody, thanks for staying around.
Wow, we still got a lot of people here.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Everybody chillin'.
adam crigler
Thank you!
unidentified
It's so cool.
tim pool
Almost 30,000 likes.
adam crigler
That's amazing.
Almost 30,000, not enough.
tim pool
Didn't quite cut it.
adam crigler
Not enough for me to change beanies.
tim pool
Nope, nope, nope.
adam crigler
But thanks for everyone for hanging out and listening to us play.
tim pool
Yeah, absolutely.
adam crigler
As per Friday night tradition.
tim pool
Good old Friday night.
It's gonna be a massive, monstrous heat wave for the next week, which is an awful, horrifying nightmare.
adam crigler
Here's hoping that the hurricane doesn't mess up the astronauts.
No, the astronauts coming back.
The Dragon Endeavor is supposed to come back this weekend.
I hope that the weather is permitting for them to return home, and it doesn't get pushed back, but who knows?
They're looking at the weather, but here's the good weather for them.
tim pool
Right on, man.
Well, to everybody who stuck around, you are the die-hardest of die-hard fans, so I think you already know to smash the like button, subscribe, notification bell, and all that good stuff.
And we'll be back Monday!
I almost said tomorrow.
adam crigler
29K, they were so close.
unidentified
29K.
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
And it'll probably hit 30, but we're about to leave.
So it's unfortunate.
We're going to go, uh, chill out, go to bed.
I'm going to be up first thing in the morning and do my show as per usual.
So you guys will see me in the, in the usual over at Timcast.
And then this show will be back Monday at 8 PM live as per usual.
And we are getting very, very close to setting up the new facility.
So probably, I'd imagine a month from now we'll be in full swing with the new facility.
adam crigler
Probably one month from now we'll be fully in the new spot.
tim pool
And facility is the appropriate word because it's actually, it's gonna be like a real business and everything.
Like real office space and... I'm excited!
Yeah, we're gonna have more people.
It's gonna be great.
adam crigler
It's gonna be really good.
tim pool
Thanks for hanging out everybody.
We'll see you on Monday.
Take care.
