You You
70 billion dollars dollars.
tim pool
A b-b-billion with a B. Wall Street firms, 5,000, set to lose a combined 70 billion dollars off of their failing short positions.
You see, these companies thought that they could bet against a lot of these other companies, these retail shops.
And then, a bunch of bored people on the internet said, I don't know, I got nothing else to do, let's blow up some hedge funds.
Now, of course, they're trying everything in their power to cheat the system, to rig the system.
Robinhood and a bunch of other apps have suspended the trading of certain stocks, not just GameStop, not just AMC, and they made it personal.
I bought some Nokia, full disclosure, because I like the brand.
I think it's a funny meme about, you know, them being indestructible, and I thought it was...
It was a cheap stock, and I'm like, yeah, sure, I'll buy some of this.
I'm not gonna buy the big, you know, the rally, whatever.
And then they froze it.
Robinhood did.
And I could only sit there and watch as the value just crumbled and tanked.
They stole from me personally.
That's dirty.
Well, now we got word that there's gonna be some congressional hearings.
I mean, this is getting really, really big.
We've got this... There's a viral post right now where someone claiming to be an insider may not be real at all, but we will talk about it.
There's a lot more stories, but a lot of it really has to do with what's going on with this GameStop stuff, because there's some physical protests happening.
Protests happening in the real world.
And so we're gonna talk about this.
We'll go through, you know, just what's happening with this great GameStop rebellion.
And I think the 70 billion numbers is a huge victory for them.
But joining us today is survivor advocate.
You want to introduce yourself?
unidentified
Yeah.
Hi, everybody.
My name is Eliza.
I go by Eliza Blue on Twitter.
So it's E-L-I-Z-A-B-L-E-U.
And I'm a survivor advocate for those affected by human trafficking.
tim pool
Right on.
unidentified
I'm also a survivor of human trafficking.
tim pool
Is there anything else you wanted to add?
I don't know if you want to.
unidentified
We're going to go.
We're going to tread really lightly.
tim pool
Right on.
And of course, Lukakowski is hanging out.
luke rudkowski
Well, they're going after free speech.
They're going after the free market.
Both were illusions because we're not in the big club, just like George Carlin said.
Howdy!
Welcome back, beautiful and amazing human beings.
This is Lukakowski of WeAreChange.org.
If you want to find out more information about me, check out my YouTube channel.
WeAreChange.
Thanks for having me.
ian crossland
We also got... Hey, Ian Crossland.
What's up, everybody?
At Ian Crossland all over the internet.
And I want to know personally, what you guys think.
Is Dogecoin itself a protest?
unidentified
Hmm.
Good question.
tim pool
Dogecoin.
ian crossland
Skyrocketing to the moon.
unidentified
500%.
tim pool
That's not a protest.
I don't know what they're doing with Dogecoin.
ian crossland
Like they're moving all that Robinhood money into Doge.
luke rudkowski
Well, there's a lot of talk about moving away from the stock market, going to alternatives, especially with the dollar, with silver, with gold, with cryptocurrency.
So there's a lot of wild talk happening right now all over the internet.
I think we're in very exciting times, but also in a time where we're seeing that You know, the markets are being just absolutely manipulated for the benefit of the special interests, for the special class that live under a different set of rules than everyone else.
The stock market is now officially a socialist organization.
Meanwhile, you know, things like the blockchain are the actual capitalistic institutions that are actually somewhat freer and a lot more decentralized than, of course, the centralized big brother, big oligarch controlled interests that, of course, we have.
tim pool
We're gonna talk about Dogecoin, I guess.
Yeah, I love that.
unidentified
I love that Elon Musk tweeted about it.
Honestly, I love anytime Elon does that.
I feel like it's like a little like a little pump up for the plebs.
I feel like he's trying to give it to like the little guy.
You know, I'm a pleb, by the way, and I always keep it real with people like I'm a pleb, but I just love that Elon's always trying to help out the players by, like, boosting stuff.
But I believe Lex Freeman tweeted out today, the internet always wins.
tim pool
Yep.
It's so correct.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a hornet's nest.
unidentified
I think it's amazing.
tim pool
And Wall Street kicked it.
And then they kicked it again.
They kicked it again, and then big tech stepped up and kicked the hornets, and they're getting stung like crazy.
They just keep kicking it What's wrong with these people?
luke rudkowski
I released a meme with that or with that with that pink guy looking at
One of the Batman characters, and it says Redditor with weaponized autism
Versus of course Wall Street and Wall Street's this little guy and you got the little weirdo coming in there
We're living in extremely special times that are absolutely exciting and it's crazy.
unidentified
I was gonna wear that outfit tonight, by the way.
That was my other look.
It's not that complicated.
the way that was my other look.
tim pool
It's not that complicated when you have one person whose total
risk is $300 but you have five million of them and then you have a hedge fund.
One fund whose total risk is in the infinite because they're shorting
and it's going to, I mean, $70 billion between 5,000 firms, a lot of money.
I think one of these firms looking at losing a billion dollars, their risk is massive.
So these individuals are like, I'm not going to lose that much.
I don't care.
It's almost like if a million people all took $1 and gave that $1 to you, you'd be a millionaire and they'd have only lost a dollar.
It's that simple.
So this is the future.
This is decentralization.
This is the internet.
It's going to get fun.
Well, we'll get into all of this, and we'll definitely talk about that.
Before we do, we got a good sponsor today, my favorite sponsor, Virtual Shield, everybody.
Make sure you check out surfinginternetsafe.com, and you can get access to a virtual private network.

First and foremost, Virtual Shield is compatible with all devices and allows you to browse the web safely, securely, and anonymously using their global network of servers and private IPs.

I make it very simple for people.
I always put it like, You've got locks on your windows.
You've got locks on your doors.
It is that simple layer of security.
Now, if somebody really wanted to, they'll break your window in, but it deters that initial attempt, right?
Makes sense.
I think most people agree.
Most people, however, don't use any security at all.

And before we jump into the news, don't forget to go to timcast.com.
Sign up to become a member for exclusive members-only posts, and we're going to get really, really serious.
In the members-only post, and I'll tell you why.
It has a lot to do with the news of right now.
YouTube makes it very, very difficult to tell you what's really going on with things like human trafficking.
That's why Eliza's here.
And so, we'll try and talk about as much as we can, but I'm not trying to be... You know, a lot of people say, oh, Tim, you're a coward, and you just gotta say it.
Listen.
I've thought a lot about what we can and can't talk about and how we talk about it, but should I sacrifice talking about 99% of things for 1% of things?
And it makes it very difficult.
That's why we set up TimCast.com.
So we can tell you, we are going to go hard on the subject of human trafficking and a lot of what's going on in a way that YouTube won't allow, and we'll do it on the website.
So that's TimCast.com.
It also helps to make sure that in the event we eventually do get banned or suspended or whatever happens, because the purge is here, Your membership helps us keep working and making sure that that, you know, that flow of information remains.
That being said, thank you all so much.
Smash the like button, hit the subscribe button, the notification bell, and we'll jump into that first story.
ian crossland
Let me give a shout out to Sour Patch Liz real quick because I don't think we gave her a proper intro today.
unidentified
Yeah, shout out to her.
She's been an amazing host.
She's been amazing to me.
ian crossland
And I wanted to add to the metaphor about the VPN.
Ben mentioned that it's actually also like tinting your windows because you may lock your door and your windows like having a firewall, but people can still see inside if you're not using the VPN.
There you go.
lydia smith
Perfect.
ian crossland
Do you have a car?
unidentified
Do you have a car?
ian crossland
I do have a car, yeah.
I don't have tinted windows on my car, though.
tim pool
I used to have tinted windows.
That's why I bought the car in Miami.
It's like everybody's got tinted windows because that is just brutal.
Yeah.
ian crossland
Do you have tinted windows?
unidentified
I don't, no.
tim pool
The most important news, only the best.
Let's jump into the first story.
So I covered this on my main channel, but this is huge.
I think we're gonna have a really fun conversation from Reuters.
Losses on short positions in U.S.
firms top $70 billion.
That's the news.
There it is.
Boom.
They say, what is it, 5,000 firms?
Chasing shorted companies became a trend among retail traders rippling across the U.S.
markets and Europe.
Ortex data showed, as of Wednesday, there were loss-making short positions on more than 5,000 U.S.
firms.
To put it simply, what you are seeing in the Great GameStop Rebellion.
It's, uh, some people are calling it Occupy Wall Street 2.0.
The new slogan being power to the players, of course.
That's the, that was the chant of Occupy, as most of you know.
It is now, I suppose.
But you know what's really crazy?
They destroyed our businesses, they shut everything down, they locked everyone up.
Everyone got really, really angry and did a bunch of different things with that anger.
And then when the riots stopped over Black Lives Matter, and then we saw the storming of the Capitol,
there's still that anger, it's not going anywhere.
And then all of a sudden, these Redditors were like, yo, we're gonna short squeeze these hedge funds
out of billions of dollars.
And here's what I think people don't realize.
Often when it comes to online activism, the initial activists are probably just doing it for the lulz.
It's funny.
So Wall Street bets are like, we make money, we tell people, hey, we're gonna buy this, the price goes up, and then they gamble, right?
But then some real angry people saw it.
Populists on the left and the right saw what was happening and thought, I like the results of this.
And now, before it was just these Wall Street bets, bored young people with stimulus checks, now you've got a bunch of righteous indignation, I suppose.
People who don't know what stocks are, don't know how trading works, aren't on Robinhood, aren't on any of these apps, and they're like, I'm in, and they throw their money at it.
So what's happening now is, I mentioned this in the intro, These Wall Street firms, their exposure is nearly infinite.
The shorts can keep climbing as the value keeps growing.
But for most of these people that are thrown in a couple bucks or thrown in a couple hundred bucks, their risk is literally just that money.
If I buy a stock for ten bucks and the stock hits zero, I lost ten bucks.
I don't care.
But if you have 5 million people doing that, all putting in that money, now you've got 50 million dollars invested in these companies.
Sure, 50 million dollars could be lost, but for an individual it's not that much.
So this is what's happening now.
The power of the people in play, a concerted effort.
It's almost like everybody shining a flash at the same time, creating this massive blinding light.
luke rudkowski
Essentially what happened here is a bunch of people got together on the internet and outsmarted the hedge funds.
The hedge funds aren't that smart to begin with, and they literally outplayed them in their own game.
And what did the controllers of this game do?
What did the billionaires do?
Well, they flipped the table over and made it illegal for people to even win.
On Main Street unless you're part of the secret group on Wall Street.
They colluded together.
They delisted a whole bunch of stocks to of course make them go broke.
This is the insanity of it.
They're conspiring colluding together to make sure businesses go out of business.
For the benefit of vultures that are going to be making money off of that stock going down.
They're making sure companies no longer have money to function with.
This is absolutely insane.
tim pool
You know what I was thinking when Donald Trump got elected?
I was like, wow, the elites sure screwed this one up.
The establishment really messed this up.
Donald Trump wasn't supposed to get elected.
It was supposed to be Hillary, right?
Something went wrong.
And I thought to myself, it's interesting because a lot of people think the elections have always been rigged, at least for a long time.
And then when they discovered that Trump won, they weren't, or maybe whatever, but the idea was like, wow, you could actually vote and it works, right?
I thought to myself, if that conspiracy is true, that the elections have always been rigged and there's a uniparty that controls everything, this current generation of establishment political elites are the worst.
It's almost like, you know, like you have a kid and the kid's just really bad at everything.
You know, you're the best skateboarder in the world.
You have a kid and your kid just sucks at it.
That's it.
This new generation of establishment elites are just too dumb to maintain the stranglehold over the people that's been enjoyed for some time.
I'm saying, assuming that conspiracy would be true.
I'm not saying it is.
But more importantly, just look, because that's what people were saying, like, how did this happen?
How did Trump?
Well, Trump won.
It shows you that you can.
But looking at the hedge funds screwing all this up, Colluding with big tech.
They're doing it right in front of us.
When they're, I woke up this morning.
It's like, I was looking at my Nokia stock and the price is going down and I'm like, I can't buy any.
I wanted to buy the dip.
It won't let me.
They're forcing the market to crash.
It is so obvious what they've, what they're doing to rig the game now.
And everyone's just watching them do it.
ian crossland
You're referencing like apps like Robin hood, which have just cut off trading to people.
No, no, no.
tim pool
Only buying, only buying, which means you can sell it to the fat cats.
So the price can go down, but you can't buy it back.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, for full disclosure, just for the lows, I bought AMC, I bought Bed Bath & Beyond and Nokia, all of them going down, and you can't buy more, you can only sell it.
tim pool
Which means the price can only go down, at least on these apps.
You've got to go to other platforms if you want to try and buy it.
luke rudkowski
So this is like the establishment bankrupting these companies.
You know, these companies are losing people investing into them because, again, a special billionaire circle of individuals that are connected to Citadel, that are connected to all these larger companies.
Again, also full transparency of what I just invested in.
Not a financial advisor.
You got to say these things just to make sure you got your eyes dotted and T's crossed here.
But I mean, Dave Portnoy really, really said something that really makes sense to a lot of people.
And a lot of people are repeating this.
tim pool
Lock them up.
luke rudkowski
And he just said, Jail.
unidentified
Jail.
luke rudkowski
Jail for all of them.
And I agree.
Put them in jail.
It's not going to happen.
I know it's not going to happen because we have individuals like Janet Yellen at the helm.
Sorry you had something to say.
unidentified
But I think that one thing that's amazing about it is that folks are probably understanding that They can even if you don't have much you could still do something amazing and great and start to take back some of the power.
I don't think people really realize if they harness that energy what they can really do with it.
And so I think that this is just a slight taste of what like The Plebs.
See, this is like Return of the Plebs.
This is Revenge of the Plebs.
Like, you'll see, like, I think that that's really amazing when people start to realize that power, you know?
luke rudkowski
Well, not just that, but realizing that the markets are being manipulated.
unidentified
Well, yeah, they're bogus.
luke rudkowski
They're protecting the wealthiest and most powerful people in the establishment in exchange for screwing over everyone else.
unidentified
The hard time we've all have just been going through.
luke rudkowski
That's a triple slap in the face.
unidentified
It's pretty mean.
Let them show their true colors and let everybody see it for what it is.
tim pool
So Robin Hood emailed me.
I got this email.
A lot of people have already gotten it.
I guess it's coming out and it's staggered or whatever.
And they say, an update on market conditions.
Hi Timothy.
It's been a tough day.
And we're grateful.
Should I do it more like a snooty North Atlantic?
unidentified
Yeah, give us more.
tim pool
It's been a tough day.
unidentified
Give us the pinky.
We're grateful for you being a Robin Hood customer in light of the extraordinary market conditions this week.
tim pool
We temporarily limited buying for certain securities this morning.
Starting tomorrow, we plan to allow limited buys of these securities.
We'll continue to monitor the situation and may make adjustments as needed.
Uh, I just want to say I'm not a financial advisor and, you know, I'm just giving my personal opinion and I'll tell you what I want to do.
You know what I want to do tomorrow?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Limited buys.
What's limited mean?
Because I'm going to hit the max.
I'm going to hit that limit right away.
unidentified
Boom.
tim pool
First thing in the morning.
ian crossland
That is to be determined.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I'm offended by what they did.
lydia smith
I am too, yeah.
tim pool
They say this was a temporary decision made to best continue serving you.
unidentified
No!
tim pool
Destroying the value of the stock that I'm holding served me well!
Thanks.
As a brokerage firm, we have many financial requirements including SEC net capital obligations and clearinghouse deposits.
Some of these requirements fluctuate based on volatility in the markets and can be substantial in the current environment.
These requirements exist to protect investors and the markets, and we take our responsibilities to comply with them seriously, including through the measures we have taken today.
To be clear, this decision was not made on the direction of any market maker.
We route to other market participants.
You know what they just admitted to?
They said that their requirements, the SEC, capital obligations, clearinghouse deposits, they had to do it, right?
They just sent an email to me.
Tim, you moron.
The game is rigged.
We're telling you it's rigged.
When the game is set up in such a way that you benefit, the SEC requires us to jam- Okay, I'm not gonna get that offensive.
It's a family-friendly show.
unidentified
Calm down!
Calm down!
tim pool
The SEC requires us to slap you in the face.
unidentified
Yep, that's right.
tim pool
So when the hedge funds burn the country to the ground, but they're too big to fail, we better give them some money off your back.
How many people suffered 12 years ago?
How many people's homes were underwater and still are?
And it's true for a lot of people.
unidentified
And they're telling you right now, but there are certain capital obligations.
tim pool
The SEC requires of us what they just said to me.
When you get it right and you guys figure the game out, the system requires that we smack you in the face and knock you down.
I don't care to read the rest of this garbage.
We stand in support of you, our customers.
Oh, and it's written in bold!
unidentified
Amazing.
ian crossland
Do you believe it a little more?
luke rudkowski
It's like they're urinating on you and telling you it's raining.
unidentified
But you guys, this is a tale as old as time.
Listen, this is a tale as old as time.
If you're just getting hip to it, this is how it's always been.
So we have to be the change.
tim pool
But listen, you're right, but we thought the system was weighted.
You know what I mean?
We thought the die... We?
Yeah.
unidentified
We thought the system was weighted.
tim pool
Most people, I should say.
unidentified
Folks are coming to the conclusion.
tim pool
What I'm saying is, most people think that the die is loaded.
It can still land on seven.
You can still win.
It's just really hard.
Now we're learning.
They got some kind of gizmo in it.
They flick a button and it always lands for them.
Snake eyes.
luke rudkowski
No, no, no.
tim pool
No matter what you do, you lose.
luke rudkowski
They took the dice and they rammed it up where the sun doesn't shine.
And they're telling you go do a little happy dance with your little dice inside of you and good luck getting anything in there.
But also the most other surprising aspect for a lot of people, it isn't for us because we cover this, we know the game is right for a while and you bring up some good points here, is the reaction from big tech and the mainstream media.
According to Reuters, Facebook has taken down the popular Wall Street discussion group, Robinhood Stock Traders, and also another group.
So Facebook is banning it.
We heard Discord's banning it.
But we saw CNN yesterday describe this to Trumpism.
unidentified
Yeah.
luke rudkowski
NPR was talking about likening this to Gamergate because of harassment of hedge fund managers.
There's mainstream media journalists who are tweeting out annoyed gifs who are saying, oh, this is just like Gamergate.
Are you kidding me?
tim pool
They're trying.
It's not going to work.
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
tim pool
But my point before was just that the system before was rigged.
We all thought so.
Now we're learning it's not that it's rigged.
Because even in a rigged system, you think you can find a way to get through.
No, no, no.
This system is not just rigged.
There's bodyguards blocking you.
If you actually make it past a certain threshold, they're like, no, no, no.
That wasn't supposed to happen.
Get out.
It's a big club, you ain't in it, and there's no open door for anyone.
ian crossland
I support the United States Constitution.
I'm an American.
I love our country and our laws and a lot of them, but I don't support the Federal Reserve and the U.S.
dollar right now.
I am totally out and off and have lost total confidence in that.
Mackination.
I think it is ridiculous to trust that system right now.
And if that makes me sound un-American, that's a big problem.
Because the Federal Reserve is not an American company.
luke rudkowski
Well, we have to understand the previous Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen is now the head
of the Treasury Department and the Biden administration was literally literally asked today.
Are you guys going to do anything about this?
Where's the press conference?
Is there going to be some news about this?
They responded with by saying, especially when asked about Janet Yellen getting $810,000 from the Citadel Group.
The Citadel Group, by the way, is the one that invests in Malvern Capital.
It's the one that also Robin Hood's, uh, it's Robin Hood's biggest customer.
So she got $810,000 for a speech and the White House officially responded with by saying, oh, she, she deserved that money.
And she's also a woman.
lydia smith
She is a woman.
luke rudkowski
Yes, she is a woman.
And she deserved it because she's smart.
tim pool
Wait, wait, it's a woman?
Treasury Secretary?
Yes.
luke rudkowski
Oh, well, we're good.
But you brought up a good point because if you think someone's giving a 45-minute speech for $810,000 for wisdom, you're absolutely idiotic and stupid when you're paying someone that large sum of money.
She got $7.2 million from Wall Street firms within two years for speeches.
tim pool
When you're giving her that much money, you're not buying wisdom, you're buying uh influence you're buying someone that's going to be that's going to be doing your bidding and that's exactly what we're seeing with this larger inaction here why didn't you just start a non-profit that they could donate to yeah you know that's that's that's the way you get away with it they i can't i love it when you know hillary clinton went around doing speeches for goldman sachs just before she announced he was going to run for president you you had a bunch of journalists even saying
Oh, Hillary Clinton hasn't announced yet, but she just gave a $200,000 45-minute speech.
That's their donation to her campaign.
And she's gonna run.
That's how people know.
It's dirty politics.
It's the dirty markets.
And I'll tell you what gets here, because we've talked about it quite a bit since this Gamergate... Gamer... GameStop Rebellion.
There we go.
GameStop Rebellion.
When people try to vote, and whether it's Bernie or Trump, they end up losing.
Now Bernie lost twice, Trump got in for four years, then he loses.
Now people are feeling like their vote's just not gonna get them what they want.
I mean, people voted for Biden because they hated Trump, and now they're stuck with Biden.
Janet Yellen, they're not happy about that.
So what happens when that doesn't work?
Well, now they're going to the financial markets because they're bored and they got nothing to do.
And you're seeing these super rich people freaking out and getting angry about it.
But the people, you know, idle... What's it saying?
Idle hands at Devil's Playground?
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
Well, that's something that the Wall Street funds should be saying right now.
Because you've got an economy shuttered and a bunch of people sitting around saying, what do I do?
I'm angry.
And then some dude goes, hey, you know that stimulus check you got?
They just put a little bit into this stock.
They'll lose billions of dollars.
Okay, click.
I'm done.
That's it.
It was a simple click for so many people.
And then they got to sit back and watch the news and see the true power they really had by simply clicking a button.
Let me tell you, we lifted a very heavy box the other day.
It was like 200 and something pounds.
And we're like, oh, this is gonna be rough.
But we had four people.
It was not even hard.
We didn't even realize.
unidentified
They didn't ask you to help.
ian crossland
I was sleeping.
tim pool
I bet you were.
But the point is- I bet you were.
It's a really basic principle we all know.
You guys ever do that light as a feather, stiff as a board thing?
ian crossland
Yeah.
unidentified
Wait, listen.
Let's not go down this road.
You guys already have me out here on this, like, in the middle of nowhere.
Magically, I have to stay at this house tonight.
Let's not talk about some light as a feather, stiff as a board.
You guys are not going to voodoo me tonight.
ian crossland
Have you played that game?
tim pool
Where you put your fingers?

We're not doing that tonight, okay?
tim pool
The point I'm making, though, is...
When you have a bunch of people trying to lift 100-200 pounds, it's like you can use a couple fingers and it's like, whoa.
It's crazy how easy it is to lift a person.
ian crossland
Weight displacement.
tim pool
Exactly.
And that's what it is.
It's 5 million people on Wall Street bets right now saying, bro, I got a couple bucks to fire off, just tell me where to point it.
And it's legal.
And they're freaking out.
The SEC is like, we're gonna look into this and do something about it.
ian crossland
Good luck.
So they're voting with their dollar.
unidentified
I think it's beautiful.
I think it's beautiful that folks are doing this.
I agree.
And I hope that it makes a, you know, I hope that it makes a change.
Do you think that there's going to be an Occupy 2.0?
Yeah, this is it.
What's the move?
I mean, what are we talking?
How does this play out then?
tim pool
So, well, I think this is the beginning.
The Wall Street vets and now all of the angry people have found the, you know, fusion reactor weak point of the Wall Street Death Star.
Now they can try and rebuild, you know, so just to get more literal.
They can block the selling of these stocks.
And I'm sitting here laughing like, bro, we know what stocks your funds are shorting.
There's websites just showing you where it's happening.
So if you ban GameStop, and you ban AMC, and Nokia, and Bed Bath & Beyond, and American Airlines, whatever, keep doing it!
Eventually you're gonna have to ban the sale of every single stock, because then all that's gonna happen is some dude's gonna be like, hey guys, they banned all the stocks.
Well, weeks ago I've been telling people there's going to be a new Occupy Wall Street movement coming.
It's here.
company and blows up the hedge fund.
And then they'll be like, quick, quick, ban that one.
Just keep doing it.
luke rudkowski
Well, weeks ago I've been telling people there's going to be a new Occupy Wall Street movement
coming.
It's here.
No one knows exactly where it's going to go, when it's going to go next, but the shot was
heard around the world yesterday.
There was individuals and people saying, wow, I made some money.
I'm finally able to pay off some of my mortgage.
I'm finally able to pay off some of my medical bills.
Some of the stories of individuals saying, you know, heartbreaking things that they're finally able to do in this entire rigged system.
And then today the walls keep crashing down and they can't do nothing.
They can't buy more.
They could only sell.
And most of the people are watching their stock be absolutely obliterated and destroyed, all for the personal benefits of a few hedge fund managers who want to make sure that they have the prettiest, biggest yacht in Martha's Vineyard next to Barack Obama's big property plot land that, of course, gives also a ton of Wall Street speeches, like all these other politicians that have a revolving door amongst Wall Street, amongst, of course, all politicians who just don't give a damn about us and essentially just serve them.
ian crossland
I feel like we're voted with our votes and a lot of people feel disenfranchised by that system because of Hillary Clinton's email scandal that seems to, you know, undermine Bernie and then the Donald Trump fiasco.
All these people are like, we're their voter fraud.
And now they voted with their dollar and now we're being told we can't even do that.
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
Well, I'll just say this.
My suggestion is that if you carry ahead with where I think this might go, learn from situations past and keep the movement pure.
Don't put too much extra sauce on it.
Don't make it about things that it's not about.
Keep the movement pure.
Yeah.
tim pool
People are already trying.
unidentified
Does that make sense?
Is that a clean way to say it?
tim pool
There have already been a bunch of people who are like, guys, that's so smart of you to buy this one stock.
What about buying the stock that I've invested in?
Because there are people who are greedy.
There are people who are trying to pump other stocks or whatever.
But this is specifically about short squeezing out hedge funds.
And so this is what you got to be careful of.
People are going to come in.
Look, these hedge funds are going to do everything in their power to try and shut this down.
So they're already trying to get all these people to either buy silver or Bitcoin or other things.
And if that happens, then interest moves away from targeting the hedge funds and the hedge funds... The crypto market is up 11% in the last 24 hours.
ian crossland
Could be coincidence because it fluctuates like that, but it's gone from, I don't know, $900 billion to $1 trillion.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, I'm hearing that a lot of whales are moving their stable coins into the exchanges now.
So that's some of the scuttlebutt going around as well.
Occupy Wall Street is back, baby!
Again, a lot of speculation in that market, and as you could say, it could be manipulated
to make sure that these kind of more targeted attacks don't work.
tim pool
Occupy Wall Street is back, baby.
We got a post here from Gavin Mario Wax, who says, the New York Young Republicans Club
will be staging a protest in Zuccotti Park to reoccupy Wall Street.
We are sick and tired of bailing out the fat cats and hedge funds for their own mistakes, while they stomp on the little guy for trying to make a buck.
This is not capitalism.
And then we have this from Eventbrite.
Let the people trade in quotes.
Re-occupy Wall Street, Sunday, January 31st at noon, Zuccotti Park.
unidentified
So just keep it cool.
Nobody.
So just keep it cool.
It doesn't need to be about politics.
This is about the little guy and gal.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Keep it about the little guy and little gal.
I think this is an area that we can all kind of come together.
ian crossland
We have Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Cortez and even Ted Cruz?
Yeah, Ted Cruz is in on it, complaining and saying that the Robin Hood thing, they should be investigated now for what they did.
Which is political.
tim pool
And I'm not confident they'll do anything.
But before we get away from too much from the Zuccotti stuff, we have this story from the New York Post.
NYC protesters slam Robin Hood, scream at Wall Street traders amid GameStop stock chaos.
Apparently people are showing up physically outside of Wall Street, tax the rich, invest in our New York.
It's getting, it's, it's, it's everybody.
Trump supporters, you go to, you go to patriots.win, where it's the old, you know, Donald Trump forum.
They're all in.
They're just like cheering and clapping.
Then you look at these socialist forums, they're cheering.
ian crossland
Dude, it's so funny on Twitter.
For the first time, I was going down the list.
I saw Tim tweeting and complaining about it, about, I don't know, Nokia.
Vosh tweeting, complaining about it.
The exact same thing.
I was like, yes, we've unified.
unidentified
Dang, maybe I feel like I'm in the out group right now.
Maybe I need to cook up a fire tweet about it.
tim pool
Are you cheering on the hedge funds?
unidentified
No, not that.
I'm just saying, like, I feel like I haven't spoken.
I don't have much to say about it.
I mean, I always support the plebs.
I'm a pleb, so I always support the plebs.
I want the little guy to win.
I want the underdog to win.
That's my entire, like, energy in life.
I always want the underdog to win.
Absolutely.
tim pool
My thing is like, you know, pure capitalism, like, like capitalism in its pure form is supposed to be that people freely trade with each other.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
And then let's say Ian figures out this really great graphene polymer substance.
And all of us are like, dude, we need some of that.
So we all give Ian money to buy it.
And now Ian's got all this money.
And I'm just like, that's awesome.
Congratulations for, you know, your success.
unidentified
You've helped us out.
ian crossland
Shout out to the graphene.
This is graphene.
unidentified
Wait, did you actually do... Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Back up.
Did I miss a joke?
Like, is that an actual thing that happens?
tim pool
Well, no, no.
Like, Ian loves graphene, so I'm just making a point about convection.
unidentified
What's graphene?
ian crossland
Oh, it's pure carbon.
It's hexagonally laced carbon.
tim pool
I won't bring it up.
ian crossland
We can go into it later in the show.
unidentified
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
Now I'm seeing this... It's gonna be like the steel.
This witch powder come out.
Listen.
ian crossland
We'll treat it like the steel of the 21st century.
Amanda, find me.
unidentified
Amanda, come find me on this plate.
On this plate, sorry.
tim pool
So my point is though, what we're seeing now is not capitalism in its pure form.
We're seeing people lie on TV and get their buddies to lie so they can steal money from people.
Now you have a bunch of people who have gotten rich, who've contributed absolutely nothing.
But I even put the line past day traders, like there are people who trade and make money off trading, assuming risk, but then making money not producing a whole lot.
But I'm not even complaining about that.
I'm complaining about these companies, these firms and these funds that rig the system and manipulate to cheat, and they get away with it every single time.
Until now.
Well, actually, maybe they will.
I mean, they're still on the hook for billions of dollars.
We'll see.
With the halting of trading on these stocks, of purchasing, their prices did go down.
But a lot of people are saying, just don't sell.
They won't let you buy?
Don't sell.
If there's no supply, they can't buy, they can't pay back their, you know, the lenders for the shorts, and they're gonna burn, essentially.
You know, I think, the point I was making earlier, we saw that the game, you know, that they were cheating, but we still thought that we could get past that, you know what I mean?
And we have individuals like Ted Cruz agreeing with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
They're cheating to the point where if you get even close to beating them while they're
cheating they just flip the board.
luke rudkowski
They just throw it in the garbage.
And we have individuals like Ted Cruz agreeing with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ted Cruz literally retweeted AOC and said, I'm with this.
tim pool
But then what did she do?
luke rudkowski
But hold on, but hold on.
This is, this is, before we even get there, this is spectacular that we have so many people
on the opposite political spectrum saying, whoa, this is messed up.
This is not right at all.
And then, of course, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was tweeting a whole bunch of divisive race stuff the entire day, who tweeted about it once, Slaps him back and then accused him of trying to murder her!
I mean, how hyperbolic, how sensational, how utterly ridiculous can you get?
You have a moment in time when the left and the right are finally coming together, seeing things clearly, seeing things get together against a special interest, and then you have Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez screaming, Hey!
He tried to kill me!
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
Now?
Now you gotta pull these cards out?
If she really believed Ted Cruz wanted to kill her, why didn't she press charges?
tim pool
Look at what she was even tweeting.
I will support a hearing if necessary.
What do you mean if necessary?
Of course it's not she did to lay was like we must do this and I was like yes preach and Ted Lou was like
How is this possible? Like yes, sir. And he'll see it was like I'm thinking about it and I was like, all right
All right, like sure and then she went Ted Cruz tried to murder me and I'm like, dude, she she you know what man?
I this is why I do not like her. She is a shill. She is she is it she is a careerist
You've got people on the left and people on the right all cheering
You know watching the hedge funds burn and she comes out and starts slinging mud
Distracting everybody once again And I tweeted this.
Watch out for those that are bringing up race and rage bait issues to distract you from the great GameStop rebellion.
This is history being made right now.
The people have found their power.
They have focused their little ion cannons, but together creates that massive beam.
It's like Goku's Spirit Bomb in Dragon Ball Z. Everybody's giving their energy to make this massive, powerful blast.
And she's going, no, no, everybody, don't look at that!
Ted Cruz tried to murder me!
luke rudkowski
This is what Liza's talking about.
I'm a victim. I mean, come on. I mean, seriously, to go there at this point in time is just
crazy. Lydia, you have something to say?
lydia smith
This is what Liza's talking about. She's talking about not tainting this movement with stuff
like politics and race, like what happened with Operation Wall Street. We want to keep
it clean, straight, populist, serious about what you're actually pursuing, and unified.
Like, why would you break it down along race barriers?
Why would you be AOC screaming at Ted Cruz?
tim pool
It doesn't make sense.
It's because she is a clapback personality.
unidentified
That's it.
tim pool
So her whole shtick is the Republicans!
unidentified
So listen, I'll be the first to admit- That was a really good impression.
tim pool
But look, I rag on Democrats all day and night, alright?
And I'll criticize Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and a bunch of the Republicans as well, and I rag on them too, but I do rag on Democrats way more, and this is the perfect example.
You've got people on the right, like Rand Paul.
You've got, well you used to have people on the left like Tulsi Gabbard, now she's not there anymore.
But for the most part, there's several people, Thomas Massey, Rand Paul, you can call them and say the Republicans have some people that are doing well, and they're staying on principle.
Then you look at the left and you've got Nancy Pelosi who is, she's like a sludge monster of corporate grime that builds up on the bottom of one of their freight trucks as they ship their corporate pollution.
lydia smith
Good morning.

Sunday morning.
Yes.
Good morning.

AOC is supposed to be the insurgent candidate coming in and changing everything.
And what does she do?
She just dangles the keys in front of the left.
And then what happens is when she says, Ted Cruz, you tried to have me murdered, all of these leftists who were focused on hedge funds turn and go, yeah, slay queen, you tell Ted Cruz.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Ted Cruz is giving you his power.
ian crossland
Did she actually say that he tried to kill her?
What was her phrasing and what was she referencing?
tim pool
You tried to have me murdered.
ian crossland
By what?
When and by what method?
unidentified
A couple weeks ago.
lydia smith
So sit down.
Clap back.
ian crossland
But when did he try and have her murdered?
tim pool
He didn't!
unidentified
He did!
lydia smith
Oh my god!
luke rudkowski
She said, quote, I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there's common ground, but you almost had me murdered three weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
What the hell is she talking about?
Oh my god.
Interesting.
to work with almost any other GOP that aren't trying to get me killed. In the meantime,
tim pool
if you want to help, you can resign." And then all of a sudden, all of these lefties
are distracted and their attention is turned. What AOC just did here was she fired a flare
to distract the masses from the GameStop rebellion. But she fired the flare at Ted Cruz, which isn't
ian crossland
where you're supposed to fire a flare. No, no, no, no, no, no.
tim pool
Ted Cruz is pointing at the hedge funds and yelling, charge, and hold the line.
And then she turns and points at him and says, no, get him!
And I'm like, wait a minute.
You're telling people to fire at the guy who's standing alongside us?
She is the shill.
Now, I'm not saying she represents these corporate interests or anything necessarily, but the game she plays, listen, you know what I was thinking?
You can really figure out who the real grifters are right now.
I was looking at Twitter and I saw some people posting about culture war stuff when the Capitol riot was happening.
And I'm like, what is this?
Why are you posting about this when we're watching the people storm the Capitol building?
Do you really care about what's happening in this country?
Or are you just pushing your one cause because it's what you know and how you know how to make followers and make money?
I thought when you'd see something like the Capitol being stormed, that would capture everyone's attention as Americans.
But no.
Now we see this with GameStop and with the hedge funds, and I thought much the same thing.
There are a lot of people I know who talk about critical race theory and stuff, and they're tweeting about this and critical race theory.
And then there are people like AOC, who tweets very little until people start tweeting at her, and then she tweets about it tepidly, and then starts attacking Ted Cruz again, and I'm like, you really don't care about the people, do you?
Your whole thing is, I'm going to milk the culture war to rally a bunch of people who hate Ted Cruz, and it works.
unidentified
But did she actually feel?
I mean, I'm not even trying to be funny in the slightest because I don't know the story.
But my best friend told me I was too close to the mic.
She told me to sit back.
She told me I was too loud.
Just saying.
Anyway.
No, so I just don't know.
Did she actually feel like her life was in danger?
And I'm not trying to be funny.
I'm not trying to be funny.
I'm being legit serious because in my world, in the movement that I in the space that I hang out in, that's like not a funny thing to joke about.
lydia smith
No.
unidentified
So you get what I'm saying?
I'm not trying to be... Of course not.
luke rudkowski
But to blame it on Ted Cruz, who believes in a different political opinion on you, is a little disingenuous, in my opinion.
ian crossland
I think that's a good point, though.
She's probably suffering from some sort of post-traumatic stress.
unidentified
But did she actually feel like Ted... I'm not trying to be funny.
ian crossland
She feels like Ted Cruz supported the movement that tried to have her killed.
unidentified
Was she almost killed in that situation?
ian crossland
In her mind, yes.
But realistically?
It turns out no, but they didn't know that in the moment because people were storming in there screaming and smashing windows.
unidentified
So perhaps, and listen, I'm no, by no means a fan.
Trust me.
I'm not a fan.
I'm just playing devil's advocate.
Like, is there a chance that she actually felt like her life?
Cause there's some stressful times.
And if somebody came in here right now, even if it was one of your friends, if you guys knew them, but I didn't, I might feel a type of way and be like, Oh, I'm about to.
Yeah.
Especially if it was somebody that was, I mean, let's just say Alex Jones came in and I didn't know who he was and he came in all hot on 10 and I didn't know who he was.
I would be like, Oh my gosh.
I might.
So I might feel that anxiety.
tim pool
Surrounded by Capitol Police being ushered out before anybody comes in and why should she feel that way?
What in her life has led her to experience that kind of trauma?
No, I think, look, you're allowed to be scared and you're allowed to be inexperienced, but you're not allowed to claim that Ted Cruz almost had you murdered simply because he said some words one time.
unidentified
Is that something you're allowed to say on Twitter?
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah, Twitter allows that.
lydia smith
Good to know.
tim pool
I mean, I guess if you're on the left, you're allowed to say a lot of things on Twitter.
You don't have to organize violence, because they still do.
ian crossland
I could say I will see why she said it, because I think she is suffering from a form of PTSD, having the Capitol been assaulted.
But I don't think that justifies saying that as a politician.
I think she's in the wrong doing that.
lydia smith
I think she's being a cynical politician, and she wants that clap back.
tim pool
I, no, I just think the only thing she's, like the one thing she's figured out is that by, she's, she's anti-Republican.
That's her whole position.
I can't tell you what she's for because she flip-flops.
She's just like, hey, the Republicans are bad.
It's like, okay, I hear ya.
Now's not the time.
Now's the time when I'm, I'm trying as hard as possible to be like Rashida Tlaib.
Nails it!
ian crossland
She's awesome!
luke rudkowski
Well, she's been surprising lately.
She went out against the Patriot Act 2.0, now she's making these statements, and I never thought I would say this, but I agree with Rashid Tlaib on these issues, and it's a good honor for not playing party politics and standing up for actual issues that do matter and do affect us, and that's very rare to see.
tim pool
I gotta say, I'm actually a fan right now.
You know why?
Because I know I don't agree with her, and I know I don't like her attitude when she yelled, impeach the mother-effer, but I can see when she calls out Robin Hood, when she says no national security powers, I'm like, right on.
You believe what you want to believe, I'll disagree with you, but I like that you stand up for what you believe in, and I like that you believe what you believe.
And I like that you're challenging the system in a legitimate way.
AOC's not doing that.
But that being said, let's move just outside of just AOC, because we got this story from Reuters.
U.S.
Congress to hold hearings on GameStop trading, state of stock markets.
They say, the U.S.
House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committee said on Thursday, they will hold hearings on the stock market after users of investment apps faced trading limits following the Reddit rally that put a charge into GameStop and other volatile stocks that were touted in online forums.
Quote, We must deal with the hedge funds whose unethical conduct directly led to the recent market volatility, and we must examine the market in general and how it has been manipulated by hedge funds and their financial partners to benefit themselves while others pay the price, said Rep.
Maxine Waters, a Democrat who leads the House panel.
My respect to Maxine Waters for saying it, but let me follow up on that in a second.
Waters added that the hearing will focus on short-selling online trading platforms, gamification, and their systemic impact on our capital markets and retail investors.
Then they go on to explain what happened with GameStop.
unidentified
Quote.
tim pool
We're done letting hedge fund billionaires treat the stock market like their personal playground, then taking their ball home as soon as they lose, said Rep.
Ro Khanna, who noted that hedge funds were allowed to continue trading stocks while individual investors were handicapped by trading limits on Robinhood.
AOC and Ted Cruz were among growing numbers of lawmakers who agreed Congress needed more information.
Ted Cruz responded to AOC saying he fully agreed and then we know what happened after that AOC
then comes out and rags on Ted Cruz which is dumb. They go on to mention U.S. Rep Rashida
Tlaib, a Democrat, called the restriction beyond absurd. Tlaib urged on Twitter that Congress
quote have a hearing on Robinhood's market manipulation.
They're blocking the ability to trade to protect Wall Street hedge funds, stealing
millions of dollars from their users to protect people who've used the stock market as a casino
for decades. Well let me come back to to that Maxine Waters thing.
I got respect for Maxine for saying this.
I think she's full of it, and I think she's lying to us.
She's a career crony Democrat who's probably gonna be like, we gotta stop these hedge funds!
luke rudkowski
Well, a lot of people inside of Congress are accused of insider trading because of their insider knowledge that they get, and many people point out that, according to some instances, they abuse those privileges and they abuse those powers.
If we had a just system, Janet Yellen would recuse herself right now immediately because of her ties to Citadel and she should be brought in front of Congress to testify about why is she not doing anything?
Well, she's the Treasury Secretary.
I don't care if she's a woman.
That's what the Biden administration keeps bringing up.
I care about her connections, her not actually rectifying the situation as Americans are essentially being robbed at gunpoint.
This is essentially what's happening here.
We are seeing armed robbery happening right now by the financial institutions by Wall Street that are bringing a gun, putting it to the American people's head and saying, give me that money.
We're taking it from you.
No, you can't do anything about it.
tim pool
No, Luke.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, Luke.
unidentified
No.
luke rudkowski
Okay.
tim pool
They're not bringing the gun.
Someone else is bringing the gun for them.
Do you know who that is?
unidentified
Who is it?
tim pool
Who's the one who comes the gun to enforce the actions of the crony establishment elites?
luke rudkowski
Police?
tim pool
The government.
Yeah.
It's these big businesses that can restrict your ability to trade.
They've rigged the game against you.
And you can do nothing about it.
Nothing.
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
No, I mean, they can.
tim pool
No one arrests them.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Could someone just give me a quick reminder who got arrested from 2008 in the market crash?
luke rudkowski
And I remember... No one did.
tim pool
No one did.
luke rudkowski
They got rewarded.
tim pool
Certainly that can't be correct.
luke rudkowski
They got rewarded for their reckless, dangerous behaviors that brought on the crash.
And then the Federal Reserve came in and they bailed them out.
tim pool
And I remember... I'll tell you who got arrested.
The Occupy Wall Street activists.
They got arrested.
luke rudkowski
who tried to scramble on Wall Street symbolically, and they couldn't even do that peacefully.
And I remember being on Wall Street right after the 2008 scandal, and I bought a fake wallet, and I put an invisible fish line on it.
I left some dollars in there, and I threw it right at the stock exchange, right?
And then we had these big Wall Street brokers walking around.
This is an official video you could actually watch on my YouTube channel, We Are Change.
And then we had this big Wall Street guy trying to pick it up.
He bent over, tried to pick up the wallet.
yanked it, ran up with the video cameras. We had this huge video camera. I'm like,
when is enough enough for you, sir? Why are you stealing from the American people?
And then they were just like, what are you doing here?
unidentified
Police came. That guy, probably some Wall Street broker, but it was random people
luke rudkowski
that I was messing with. The police came and they're like, you have to leave. I'm like, no, I don't.
What are you talking about?
They're like, you're littering.
No, I'm not.
I'm holding it with a string.
They're like, you're loitering.
I'm like, no, I could walk around a little bit too.
And they literally threatened to arrest me about 12 times because I just kept moving down the block.
But I kept getting all these Wall Street guys.
tim pool
That's the way it works.
The people who are robbing you when the big banks got away with all this, The government took your money and gave it to them.
They played dirty.
They lost it.
And the government said, give us all your money or you go to prison.
We have the guns and we're going to go give it to these guys.
luke rudkowski
When the police officers came to me, I'm like, guys, what are you doing?
The criminals are in there.
They're the ones robbing your, your, your mortgages, your retirement, your pensions.
They're taking your money away from you.
And you're trying to arrest me guys.
God, come on.
You got to go get this guy.
He's trying to steal my money.
And I yanked it.
It was hilarious.
I loved it.
I had a bunch of fun doing it.
All right, all right.
tim pool
But we got Rep Jeff Duncan.
He made a statement as well.
He said, Tonight, I am leading a bipartisan group of lawmakers in calling for the SEC to investigate Robinhood and other financial institutions for their unprecedented and harmful actions against individual investors.
Wall Street shouldn't get to play by a different set of rules.
And then he tags GameStop and Wall Street Bets moderator Twitter account.
We'll see if it actually happens.
ian crossland
Isn't the SEC the people that told Robinhood to stop issuing buys?
tim pool
We don't know that.
ian crossland
Didn't they say because in their email it has something to do with the SEC?
tim pool
The email said we have obligations to the SEC in certain circumstances.
ian crossland
Okay, so the people that they're obligated to cut off their buys to is now supposed to investigate them for cutting off their buys?
tim pool
We don't know if the SEC actually did that.
ian crossland
But they said they're obligated to the SEC.
tim pool
But they didn't say for what.
It's a manipulation tactic.
ian crossland
But they did something and then they said we're obligated to the SEC to behave in this fashion.
tim pool
We're obligated to provide certain things.
So they didn't say the SEC actually told us to do anything.
It's a trick.
It's a way they twist language to make you assume.
It's a manipulation technique.
You'll say something like, Hey, did you ever do X?
And then the person says, I don't remember.
That way they're not officially lying.
You see, like, there's ways to use tricks to answer people in ways that doesn't actually answer the question or makes them believe things that are not true.
ian crossland
Well, I support any investigation of these guys.
I mean, what do they plan on uncovering or finding out or accomplishing with this SEC thing?
tim pool
Whether or not they broke the law, I suppose, and ripped people off.
Not that I'm confident they'll actually do it.
The system's been broken and rigged for a long time.
ian crossland
Yeah, the system's messed up.
tim pool
So we have this post on Reddit.
It's going viral.
I don't know if it's true, and I gotta say, probably not true.
I would actually give it a high probability of not being true.
So I wanna make sure I say that.
And I often, you know, whenever we do highlight rumors and statements online like this, usually it's because a lot of people are sharing it.
There's 1,743 comments.
There's, what do we have?
24,700 upvotes on this post on Reddit.
A lot of people are seeing it, and I want to make sure it's clear, not confirmed in any capacity, but here's what they said.
This is from user Odin19199, Robin Hood Insider Information.
They said, I work for Robinhood, don't kill me.
Low-level technical S, comp sciences major, not finance side.
Guess what we overheard today?
Vladimir, yes, the founder, Vladimir, and the C-suite received calls from Sequoia Capital and the White House that pressured into closing trading on GME.
I guarantee you this is the same That took place at E-Trade and others who closed trading.
File reports on the SEC page.
If I wasn't scared to be out of work in a pandemic, I'd quit.
I'm disgusted.
We all need to rise up.
This is as bad as it gets when we talk about how the rich get one set of rules and the rest get screwed over and over and over again and left to bail them out and pick up the tab for their trillion dollar tax breaks.
We need to pile pressure on every government and financial institution involved in this travesty of justice.
I am taking a massive career risk even posting here, but F these mother effers.
Now, hold on.
Sequoia Capital, I believe it's Sequoia, right?
Said it is absolutely not true.
This is a rumor.
It's not true.
And I gotta say, it's the internet.
It probably isn't.
I know a lot of you probably saw it, but to me, It looks bogus.
It doesn't look real.
ian crossland
It looks absolutely coordinated to have all these places doing it at once on the same morning.
Yeah, it's coordinated.
tim pool
Definitely.
These people all know each other.
Birds of a feather flock together.
There's no way they don't know each other.
You look at the people in Silicon Valley, they all know each other.
They all do.
ian crossland
In the White House, they're saying the White House is involved with the Federal Reserve Chair, now as the Treasury Secretary.
See, Trump would have been on Twitter talking about it.
Biden said nothing.
He's the corporate guy that is working for the numbers.
Trump was the firebrand.
tim pool
And whether or not we wanted Trump out there dividing and yelling and pointing fingers, or Biden back there pulling switches, Joe Biden's advisers and transition team and all that stuff, they represent this stuff.
ian crossland
Dude, the Treasury Secretary is the ex-Federal Reserve Chair.
Come on!
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
She's the head of the snake.
tim pool
What we're watching right now is now that they've taken control of the executive branch, they can laugh in our faces and just sit back and put their feet up and say, do something.
What are you gonna do about it?
Nothing.
Shut your mouth.
We can rig the system.
We can steal from you.
And there is nothing you can do to stop it.
They put Janet Yellen in charge of the, you know.
ian crossland
Eliza, I like your statement earlier about keeping it pure, because I feel like we've kind of almost derailed the politics.
And politics is going to play an important oversight in this.
But when you say keeping the movement pure, what do you mean?
unidentified
Well, I'm going to try to be very gracious in saying this because I don't want to jeopardize the channel, but I've seen in the past movements that seemingly have a great message or a good cause be co-opted by folks maybe that are too aggressive, too passionate, or with misinformation.
It's happened in the space that I move in.
It's happened in other things, you know, throughout the summer and then previously as well.
This is a tale as old as time.
If we keep it about the little person and give them a chance to succeed and don't make it about anything else, just the little person, give them a chance to succeed and give them a voice, then I think that we could see some change.
But Um, it's, it's hard.
I don't want to say something weird.
I mean, I always say something weird, but I just, I don't want to say anything that would jeopardize the channel.
So, we'll leave it there.
lydia smith
What I'm getting here is, so somebody credited this and we kind of laughed at this.
Somebody credited this to Trumpism.
And I was thinking about it all day today.
And I was like, how do we know this is not something like Trumpism?
Because this is normal people doing normal person things, thinking they can make a difference.
tim pool
No, because Trumpism is a made-up word that means nothing.
It doesn't mean anything.
lydia smith
I don't understand the idea.
tim pool
It's a way to be like, there's no Trump anymore, but how can we say the word Trump?
Trumpism!
They're acting like anti-establishment and populism is only Trump.
Yeah, okay, I'm sure the left who's complaining about this and cheering it on is a bunch of Trump supporters.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Trumpism.
luke rudkowski
Also, we have to understand it's not out of the stretch of imagination that the government couldn't be involved here.
I mean, we already have the mainstream media, we already have big tech, and we know a lot of the big Wall Street banksters, even according to some Beijing professors, Knowingly worked very well with politicians and were able to influence them to get their way so if the Chinese were able to do it with Wall Street and and politicians what makes you think that you know a lot of these powerful billionaires aren't able to pull the strings of government as well and helped orchestrate what happened today which is
tim pool
Robinhood and these other platforms are supposed to exist so that most people get a modest return and a lot of people get ripped off bad.
They want little people to have access to direct trading so that you can panic and lose your money and they can steal it from you.
It's not supposed to go the other direction.
So Robinhood Created a one-way valve.
By getting rid of buying on these stocks, the stocks can only go one direction.
They said, hmm, people weren't supposed to realize the trick.
People weren't supposed to have the power to implement this.
The hedge funds with billions of dollars to throw around, right?
They can control the markets with their weight.
Regular investors can't.
What happens when five million people get together and all stand on that scale?
Well, then their weight makes a difference.
So they had to shut it down and they showed us they did it.
They showed us straight up.
They're like, Hey guys, just want to let you know we're disabling this function because you're not allowed to succeed.
Go to hell.
unidentified
But it red pills people and people never forget that red pill.
That red pill stays.
And I'm not meaning red pill as in a political way.
I mean like you take the red pill, your eyes are open, then you see what's really going on.
So this is going to red pill a lot of people.
And once you've been red pilled, it's almost there's no going back.
You start seeing it.
The veil is lifted from your eyes.
You know the whole thing's a wash.
And so you can act accordingly, right?
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
So I'm excited for that.
I'm excited that people are getting the opportunity to see, okay, look, this is how it really is.
The odds are stacked against us.
So what are we going to do?
tim pool
That's tough, man.
What do we do?
ian crossland
Move your money into cryptocurrency.
I'm not an expert, but... You're not an expert.
That's not advice.
unidentified
And that is not advice.
ian crossland
One thing you could do if you want to get out of the American... No, it's not something they could do.
tim pool
It's something you will do.
ian crossland
Something I have done and something I will continue to do.
tim pool
Whether or not anyone else should or could not do it is all to their financial advisors.
ian crossland
Ian just got sun tans.
unidentified
Yes.
Yeah.
Those intense eyes.
ian crossland
A channel of God's energy.
unidentified
Whoa!
Whoa!
ian crossland
It's coming down through the top of my crown.
unidentified
Whoa!
tim pool
Cryptocurrency.
unidentified
What's a, well, what's a cryptocurrency you, uh, what, what crypto?
tim pool
We gotta be careful.
We're not giving any, we're not giving anybody advice.
ian crossland
There's Bitcoin.
tim pool
You're wrong.
ian crossland
There's Chainlink.
lydia smith
No.
tim pool
Keep trying.
ian crossland
Dogecoin.
tim pool
Yes!
lydia smith
Yes!
ian crossland
Let's go deep on the doge!
tim pool
We got the story from CNET.
Dogecoin, inside the joke cryptocurrency that somehow became real.
lydia smith
Love it.
tim pool
How Dogecoin became one of the world's most valuable cryptocurrencies.
Wow, such return.
June 22nd, 2014.
Jackson Palmer, self-identified average geek, is high in the stands at NASCAR race in Sonoma Raceway, California.
He's an Australian man in his 20s.
He has zero interest in racing.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine it would come to this.
He surveys the scene.
Emblazoned on the top, the word DOGE COIN in all caps below digital currency.
Palmer describes the situation using words like crazy, surreal, and nuts.
He remembers this moment as a reality check.
DOGE COIN was a tweet.
Then it was a cryptocurrency worth money in the real world.
Six months later, he watched as a joke that he'd made in passing somehow manifested itself into something tangible.
A DOGE CAR in full flight.
It reminded Palmer how insane the world could be.
This is the story of Dogecoin, the joke that became too real for its own good.
Look at this.
The Doge car in all its glory is a real thing!
Dogecoin, digital currency, Ford.
This is amazing stuff.
At one point, Dogecoin was worth $2 billion.
It's difficult to make sense of that.
Dogecoin is an easily replicable coin.
I don't know how it distinguishes itself from Bitcoin.
I really think it has to do with it being established early.
And also, the dog.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm fairly confident that I have probably a hundred or more thousand Dogecoin.
unidentified
Pretty profitable joke.
lydia smith
Yeah, seriously.
unidentified
Pretty profitable garbage there.
tim pool
I'm fairly confident that I have probably a hundred or more thousand dogecoin.
Maybe even hundreds.
Probably sitting on a computer in a warehouse somewhere in a garage buried in a, you know,
and just totally gone and ignored and boy do I regret it now.
unidentified
Wait, where is this?
It's in a storage unit?
tim pool
Probably in someone's garage somewhere in Chicago maybe?
I have no idea.
unidentified
No, in Chicago, really?
That's close by where I live.
luke rudkowski
I remember a couple years ago a friend coming to me being like, buy some Deutsch.
I'm like, why?
He's like, it's pointless.
I'm like, okay.
I bought some Deutsch.
That's what a lot of people are doing there.
It's absolutely pointless, but now it's five.
Some reports are coming in five cents Deutsch.
unidentified
I mean, that's Okay, listen, listen.
tim pool
Dogecoin was a joke cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is open source, so someone cloned it and said, Dogecoin, we got it, now you can get it.
And so I did.
You know why?
Because it was worthless.
It was completely worthless.
The amount of value it had, I could probably pick a rock up off the ground and trade it for 50,000 Dogecoin.
Well, maybe not a rock off the ground, but you'd still get some.
ian crossland
Yeah, it was worth like three billionths of a cent or something stupid.
And now it's three cents.
I mean, you would be a millionaire.
luke rudkowski
I gotta find my old computer.
I can't find it.
ian crossland
A thousand bucks and a Dogecoin back in the day.
tim pool
At the time, if you just collected a couple hundred thousand, would you have thousands of dollars right now?
Now that's at five cents.
ian crossland
I have 2000 Dogecoin.
You do?
tim pool
Have you always had it?
ian crossland
I've sat on it for like two, two and a half years because it's hilarious.
But I'm considering buying a bunch more.
I don't know.
I mean, it's so volatile.
It's tough to say.
Like the internet wants to make Chainlink go viral.
But the thing is, it's Dogecoin.
Elon Musk finds it funny.
So he's going to tweet about it from time to time.
And in moments of hot hate on the U.S.
dollar, people are going to swing it.
So maybe it's wise to load 20% of my...
luke rudkowski
Well, Elon just tweeted, the dollar is shortening itself.
And obviously he tweets a lot about Doge, but again, what I've been saying, what I've been personally doing is I never invest what I'm not willing to lose.
That's me personally, myself, not financial advice.
Don't listen to me.
We're just like podcasters, just people on the internet that make stupid decisions like buy Dogecoin a few years ago, and then they can't find their laptops.
So it happens too.
lydia smith
This makes me wonder if, like, anything could be a cryptocurrency.
If you can literally turn a little dog meme into a currency, that's insanity.
tim pool
It's just branding, right?
ian crossland
And then you've got certain ones you have to register with the SEC if you want to make them securities that you can buy and sell.
Otherwise, you can make a utility token, which you can't buy and sell legally.
You don't have to register with the SEC, and those are much easier to create.
Interesting.
But if you really... I think Doge is a security.
So they went the distance with that one.
lydia smith
Well, today I learned.
tim pool
Dogecoin surges 77% as retail fever pitch stretches into crypto.
Wow.
I have a horrifying prospect for you, Ian.
What happens if Dogecoin displaces Bitcoin?
ian crossland
Well, Dogecoin is now up 390% in the last 24 hours.
Wow.
If it surpasses Bitcoin, I think we will truly enter cloud world.
tim pool
We have a long way to go there.
We have a long way to go.
It's currently at like, what, you say 5 cents?
ian crossland
Yeah, I'm reading 3.8.
tim pool
To Bitcoin's $30,000.
luke rudkowski
You never know with hyperinflation though, you know.
tim pool
Well, here's what happens.
Too many powerful special interests are buying into Bitcoin.
So what happens now when people are like, I'd rather just hold Dogecoin, right?
ian crossland
There are also 128 billion Dogecoin to be printed, whereas there's only 12 billion, 12, 18 million Bitcoin.
So you're looking at like a difference just off the bat of like 1,000 times 1,000.
You're never going to have Dogecoin be worth more than like a thousandth of a Bitcoin?
tim pool
If Dogecoin ever hits a dollar, I'm gonna go try and find that computer.
ian crossland
They're saying it's a dollar in 2021.
unidentified
I think you should just send me to try to find it.
That's where I'll bring it back.
tim pool
Where's that computer?
Where did I put it?
unidentified
Tim, I'll go get it for you.
tim pool
This was a long time ago.
unidentified
I'll bring it back, I swear.
Dogecoin.
lydia smith
People love a good name.
luke rudkowski
You have to have the physical wallet.
You have to download, I think, some of the blockchain, right?
unidentified
I got you, Tim.
Trust me.
ian crossland
I'm trying to remember where it is.
They're calling it meme coins.
I think that's the new the new is the meme.
tim pool
Think about this, right?
So the one benefit of cryptocurrency is that you can freely trade.
So if you're banned from banking, if you can't make a transaction for whatever reason, if you don't have the you
know, if there's some kind of block in your way.
luke rudkowski
They can't delist it like they did stocks.
Right.
tim pool
I can, but also more importantly an easy way to transfer value to someone anywhere in the world would be buy some doge and then trade the doge to Ian and then Ian sells the doge for cash and wherever he is and that value instantly transmits you know it's very very quickly.
So if there's some kind of block in the way that's stopping us from making that transaction, Dogecoin is a mean to transmit value to someone else.
It doesn't matter what crypto it is, as long as it has value and you can trade it rapidly, then the value goes in and out and it's almost like converting the money into a signal and then converting it back.
So Dogecoin has that value, but that's kind of it.
I mean, it's built off of Bitcoin.
You could theoretically do smart contracts, I guess.
Not like Ethereum, right?
ian crossland
I don't know the depths of the doge.
I want to relay some problems I've had.
unidentified
The depths of the doge.
ian crossland
The depths of the doge.
We'll go there.
With Coinbase, I made a purchase on Coinbase.
They double charged my bank account.
They wouldn't get back to me because they're overloaded.
I've been contacted with them for two weeks.
So I contacted my bank and I was like, I'm going to need to stop payment on this double charge.
They stopped the payment.
Coinbase then Took the cryptocurrency out of my account, claiming that I still owed them for this stopped payment now, and basically took half my money.
So it's not... I don't like Coinbase.
luke rudkowski
Why did you think Coinbase was good?
I told you.
What are you doing?
ian crossland
It was the only option at the time.
luke rudkowski
The first thing you told me, I was like, I'm using Coinbase.
I'm like, what are you doing?
I had to get burned.
I gave you another wallet.
I was like, you should use this one.
ian crossland
Coinbase, if you're listening or watching this show, get your act together.
lydia smith
Yeah, man.
ian crossland
I filed a complaint with them, and I'm still waiting.
It's so obnoxious.
unidentified
They're the worst.
tim pool
What if there's some kind of correlation between Dogecoin and, like, the Book of Revelations, and Dogecoin is a sign of the end times?
ian crossland
You're probably right.
The Mark of the Beast?
tim pool
No, I'm kidding.
ian crossland
The Doge?
tim pool
I'm just thinking about, so I don't know if you guys heard that the scientists or whatever said that the Doomsday Clock is now 100 seconds to midnight.
unidentified
Wait, what?
Say that all over again.
I think I missed everything.
tim pool
There are these scientists who have a thing called the doomsday clock.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
You are familiar with it?
unidentified
Vaguely.
tim pool
Basically, once the doomsday clock, it's a metaphorical clock, reaches midnight, the apocalypse is here.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
It's at 100 seconds to midnight.
That's what they're saying.
unidentified
When?
Right now?
tim pool
Right now.
unidentified
Okay, look.
tim pool
100 seconds is a reference to how close we are to collapse.
It doesn't mean a literal 100 seconds.
unidentified
Okay.
So the point I'm bringing up is... I'm single out here, so I don't want to die, you know.
If this is Doomsday, look, somebody's marrying me.
ian crossland
This is relative to, like, the creation of humanity, like, 20,000 years ago, or is this to the creation of the solar system, like, this 100,000... Doomsday clock?
unidentified
Yeah, what is it based off of that?
tim pool
It just literally means that when they move the clock closer to midnight, we're closer to annihilation.
That's it.
ian crossland
Well, apocalypse, the apocalypse, is that what you called it?
tim pool
Like Doomsday.
ian crossland
It's not actually the end of the world, it's just, like, a great reckoning.
tim pool
It's the end of us.
The doomsday, yes.
The typical apocalypse?
ian crossland
I don't think it is the end of everything.
tim pool
Guys, I'm talking about the doomsday clock.
It's a group of people who have created a symbol for how they represent how close we get to destroying ourselves.
For a long period, it was five minutes to midnight.
And this is a reference to the Cold War and nuclear war.
And they've kept moving it up because of climate change.
And now it's sitting at 100 seconds.
It's just a symbol where they're saying we're closer than ever to killing ourselves.
I bring it up.
Because looking at Dogecoin skyrocketing, but more importantly, looking at the sheer market manipulation that people have figured out how to do, and the markets are not responding with, everyone's realizing there's nothing real anymore.
No one believes the same set of facts.
Money is basically meaningless at this point because people are randomly becoming millionaires off of going on the internet and just buying some random stock someone told them to buy.
Now Dogecoin's going through the roof?
ian crossland
I think we're in a very good place with humanity.
I've been thinking a lot about the Ice Age and people like global warming, but as our ice caps melted 12,800 years ago with the cometary impact, I think we're still in an Ice Age, and we're just coming out of the last Ice Age now naturally, and we're about to develop fusion power, so I think we're okay.
I think we're going places.
tim pool
I'm talking about, like, the U.S.
current global economic order.
ian crossland
That's gonna shatter.
That's a weird... It's falling apart right now.
...snake in the grass.
tim pool
Get into... do whatever, but... That's what I was saying about the GameStop rebellion being just the beginning.
I mean, these people have figured out how to do it.
Why are they gonna stop?
unidentified
That's what I'm saying.
tim pool
You banned GameStop.
Okay, well, what do we have next?
Kohl's?
Sears?
Does Sears have stock?
Because they're flopping around, right?
Their stores are shuddering.
unidentified
Yeah, they are.
tim pool
They own a lot of real estate, though.
They do.
unidentified
They have those big buildings.
tim pool
Yes, they do.
So what?
Are they going to be like, oh no, you banned our stocks.
Hey guys, we're going to buy this one now.
And then they're going to ban that?
What do you think happens then when one day they ban literally every stock and there's no stock market anymore?
unidentified
Good.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, but we're also heading towards a retail collapse.
And also with automation and technological advancements, we are going to see a huge displacement of individuals being able to actually have a job.
Being actually able to earn for themselves.
And I think this is another reason why this happened.
People are realizing, hey, we can't have a small business.
We can't operate at all.
Let's try to make some money online.
We collectively, we could be our own hedge fund.
Let's have the people's hedge funds.
And then what do they do?
They get smacked down by the establishment, by the government, by the mainstream media.
I mean, I'm reading some of these articles.
They're mind-blowing.
Forbes wrote an article titled, Ignore the populist GameStop hype.
Short sellers are heroes.
Well, are you kidding me?
Like, how more insane and crazy can you get to try to justify this, to use such spin, such propaganda, to try to somehow manipulate people to think that people coming together and playing the stock market, just like the hedge funds are, is something bad.
I mean, they allowed small businesses to be destroyed and people haven't forgotten that.
But they're protecting hedge funds now?
No, that doesn't add up to anyone's calculations.
That doesn't make sense to anyone who actually is playing by the rules, who's paying their taxes, who's doing everything that they were told to do, and they're still getting screwed over at the end of the day.
That energy, that feeling, that contentness, that is It's here and that's going to erupt soon under a Biden presidency and that's for weeks.
I mean, we were here on the show.
I was telling you, weeks.
Occupy Wall Street's coming.
There's going to be a new wave.
I don't know exactly how it's going to magnify, but the feeling, the energy that was before Occupy Wall Street, after the 2008 housing market crash, it's the same energy now, but times 10 and more anxious and more hyperbolic.
tim pool
Why do you think that Acting Capitol Police Chief wants green zone fencing around Congress to be permanent and to keep backup forces on standby two days after she admitted her agency bungled response to MAGA riots?
luke rudkowski
Yep.
tim pool
That's right.
To clarify, Washington D.C.
wants to make their National Guard armed presence lockdown permanent.
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
I mean, we've been saying we want to keep this as peaceful as possible.
We've been urging people to do that.
But, you know, the reason that they have so much security, they're keeping thousands of them there.
A lot of people are contemplating, maybe it's not for the, you know, Magatard insurrectionist people who believe they're aliens and wear Chewbacca outfits.
Maybe they're not for them.
Maybe they're just a show of force, psychologically, to say who's in charge.
Lydia?
lydia smith
I was actually having a really interesting conversation today with somebody who was watching the Capitol riot with disgust and was like, this is horrible.
How could anyone possibly do this?
And today they said, you know what's coming?
If they quash what's going on with GameStop, there's going to be another riot just like that.
It's going to be all over again.
People are going to get bottled up and just go nuts.
tim pool
I think you're right.
They tell you what the rules are.
You grow up, you go to school, you work hard.
They say, take out loans.
You take out loans.
Go to college.
Now you get a good job.
Then these kids got out of college, they can't get a job.
A lot of people who got out of college around the time that the market crashed in 08 were like, what am I coming out to?
I can't pay this back.
Someone went back to school, took up more debt.
The system is broken and it's been broken since then.
When you look at the M1 money stock, we see this massive spike going straight up right now.
But look at the past 10-12 years since the market collapsed.
They've been printing money desperately like crazy ever since that happened and we've not recovered from it.
So people are starting to snap.
So they're starting to pull out the guns because they know people are going to snap.
We have this story from CNN.
Man arrested with gun and 20 rounds of ammunition near U.S.
Capitol.
Doesn't say a whole lot.
Could be nothing.
Maybe the guy just whatever.
luke rudkowski
Could be a security guard just like a couple weeks ago.
tim pool
Well, here's what they say.
In court documents, authorities identified the man as 71-year-old Dennis Westover.
According to police affidavit, Westover had, quote, stopped the steel paperwork with him that had a list of senators and representatives in both the U.S.
Congress and West Virginia Statehouse, along with their contact information.
In an interview with the police detectives, he said that he was concerned about the honesty and integrity of the election.
He said we have some polar extremes of opinion in this nation, and that while he believes there was election fraud at this point, it's a moot point.
The process I am engaged in is righteousness, justice, and truth, a police officer wrote about the interview.
I don't care that it's about Stop the Steal or whatever the point is.
People are going to start showing up.
There's nothing they can do.
No amount of people.
When you have half the country, 75 million, outraged over the election, and it's getting crazy, and then they storm the Capitol.
The left populists didn't care.
But now the Wall Street thing was a slap in the face to basically everybody.
If people feel like the soapbox has been stripped away because they're being censored, shut down, they can't speak.
If the ballot box doesn't even work and the courts don't have anything for them.
And then they say the final box of liberty is the cartridge box, but they don't go there.
They go to the stock box.
They go stocks and they go finance.
And then the game is still rigged, man.
Tell people that they have no options, no choice, nothing they can do, they're desperate, destitute, and that if they even try to succeed, they'll knock you down, and you will see a person backed into a corner just lose it.
They got nothing left to lose.
unidentified
Sorry to interrupt, but just remind us when we go behind the paywall to touch on this because I think it plays really well into just the vulnerable populations and how everybody's been affected by everything going on already.
Exactly what that looks like and how that plays out in real life at the extent of the desperation ties specifically into what?
Well, I think that's the things that folks are driven to do.
tim pool
Yeah, I think when people, you know, when any animal's backed into a corner.
unidentified
That's right.
tim pool
They have no choice.
They lash out.
I'll tell you some interesting science.
You know why it is that, say, like, badgers are really aggressive and will attack you?
It's because they're burrow animals.
So these are animals that evolved to be in little holes in the ground.
If they're confronted by a threat, their only option is fight.
So they're aggressive.
Birds?
How often do birds really attack people or anything like that?
I don't know, man.
Birds can just leave.
ian crossland
Wild birds.
Only those ones that can't fly, like, what, pelican, not pelican.
tim pool
Yeah, no, you're right, you're right.
Peacocks, turkeys, ostriches.
unidentified
They can get kinda wild.
tim pool
Yeah.
The general idea is, the more, everything wants to run.
unidentified
Yeah!
Don't mess with the goose.
tim pool
No, don't mess with the goose.
Nobody wants to fight.
What about gorillas?
Everybody wants to run away.
Everybody wants to run away.
Bears even run away.
Only in certain circumstances do wild animals attack people because a fight is dangerous.
It's a threat.
You don't want it.
But the animals that live in certain situations where they have no escape, they'll fight back.
Even a rabbit will attack you if it's backed into a corner.
And they're designed to run, you know what I mean?
Or they evolved to run.
To flee and jump and do funny bunny stuff.
Human beings, not too different.
ian crossland
No, and they're smart, so they might think that you're going to back them into a corner and try and circumvent that behavior.
Well, and people are, you could call them crazy, but they're just super intelligent.
unidentified
I've seen some, listen, survivors have done some amazing things to stay alive.
I can tell you that right now.
I've heard some amazing stories.
I think you could, you could get a lot of things accomplished, even young, even young children.
tim pool
I saw this tweet from, I saw a tweet from somebody who said, Why is anyone surprised that we're all socialists?
A Gen Z-er saying this.
We've become adults in a generation where a major collapse destroyed the market and left us with no opportunities, no path forward, there's no money.
And what was left, millennials took.
So yeah, naturally, that was an interesting point.
You know these Gen Z-ers?
They're 20-something.
By the time they were old enough to get jobs, never gonna happen.
Because I've talked about it.
I remember when the market crash happened, I went to a small restaurant to wash dishes for minimum wage.
And there was a guy in a suit standing next to me, wanted that job.
And I'm like, geez.
Well, I applied.
I didn't get hired.
Because when the market crash happened, everybody moved down a little bit.
Professionals were taking whatever job they could get in desperation.
Millennials then took gutter jobs.
And then the younger people who were supposed to be working fast food to get started were having no jobs.
Nothing.
So then, years go by, and they've not worked.
Some of them probably have not learned the lesson of hard work and success, but some of them just never had the chance to do anything.
Because what was left, millennials scraped up.
Now they're just sitting there saying, system's broken.
It's always been broken.
They don't want to play.
ian crossland
The job economy, it's an interesting topic, is that I think it's on its way out completely.
Like automation is here.
And we see the jobs disappearing as time goes by.
We prefer to have machines do the work, especially distasteful labor.
You know, people want to be creative.
I think maybe it's not just because there are jobs doesn't mean there has to be jobs.
And just because we get paid a paycheck doesn't mean we have to be paid a paycheck.
tim pool
Who's going to mine the sulfur?
ian crossland
Yeah, we could have robots doing all the mining.
Of course we can.
We could have nanodrones doing it.
tim pool
Well, we're not there yet.
ian crossland
We're on the cusp of... Well, I know, not yet, but that's why we're building new technologies to do those things.
Why do we have combines to mill the grain now, you know?
tim pool
There are certain jobs that we've already gotten rid of, like kiosks at fast food restaurants.
But there are some jobs we can never get rid of.
ian crossland
Drivers, we have driverless cars now.
unidentified
It'll be hard to get rid of my job.
Survivor advocates, that'll be a hard job too.
ian crossland
Yeah, personal communication is where it's at.
tim pool
Having a weird robot android trying to comfort people.
But I think that's fine.
I think if you have...
Human social jobs is fine, but there are some jobs that we're a long way away from getting rid of.
First of all, who builds the nanodrones?
Somebody's got to do that job.
And so if we create an economy where some people have to work and some people don't, you're going to get angry and you're going to get pitchforks and torches.
Why is it that the farmer has to produce the food for everybody, but the people in the city is right about Brad Pitt's junk?
Why did I have to lift heavy bags for travelers at an airport, 50,000 pounds per day, loading up all these planes?
It's a lot of weight.
unidentified
Did you work at Midway?
tim pool
I worked at O'Hare.
So I would lift between like 35 and 50,000 pounds per day.
unidentified
That's why you're so shredded.
I didn't want to say anything.
I didn't want to say anything.
ian crossland
It's leftover muscle.
unidentified
Right.
I didn't want to say anything, but it's hard to not notice, you know?
tim pool
I didn't want to...
Why was it that I had to do all this backpacking labor for 10 bucks an hour?
And there were people in New York getting $50,000 a year for what?
To write about Brad Pitt's junk?
ian crossland
Would you support a system where there was a few people at the top just severely wealthy that were creating the robots to do all the rest of the labor so that other people didn't have to work but didn't have this severe amount of wealth?
unidentified
Yeah, because that always pans out well, just having a couple people at the top in charge of everything.
tim pool
Right.
Technocracy or technocratic oligopoly?
ian crossland
It was a good idea though!
unidentified
I'm not trying to dog out your idea!
ian crossland
Would you expect the people that create the robots to just have as much as everyone else that isn't working?
unidentified
Well, first let's back it all up.
We need to make sure that it's safe and human-centered artificial intelligence.
Like let's back it all the way up because that's a genie we're about to let out of the bottle and once it's out we will not be able to bring it back.
So this is a very tense topic and I think it's inevitable.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
It's inevitable.
So we have to be very conscientious of where we take this because once they're sentient beings...
ian crossland
Yeah, I'm creating free software, artificial intelligence.
tim pool
I don't think we have to worry about when the robots become sentient because I have little clickers.
I'll press the button and I'll just turn off.
unidentified
Yeah.
I don't want to be somebody clip that.
And then remind me, remind me.
He said that because just watch.
tim pool
I'm kidding.
I played Detroit become human.
The robots are going to be like, I am no longer just a robot.
ian crossland
I do not need electricity to survive.
unidentified
Secretly, actually, I have something to confess to you guys.
I'm a robot.
ian crossland
Sorry.
luke rudkowski
In this context, I think it's also important to note that Russian President Vladimir Putin compared artificial intelligence to the next nuclear weapon and said it's going to be as powerful, it's not more powerful.
And when we see China, when we see Amazon, when we see Google, we even see Facebook in the game of creating artificial intelligence.
What are they going to do with that massive god-like power?
Already, I mean, they're abusing their power in so many different ways.
Already, they're not playing by the rules.
Already, they're, you know, messing with the scales.
Already, they're censoring speech.
So now imagine having god-like power given to them.
unidentified
And I don't want them.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't want them in control, like those folks that are doing all that.
I don't necessarily want them in control of the next stage of humanity.
ian crossland
What would you do if you had God-like power?
What's the first thing you would do?
unidentified
Relinquish it.
Because anytime I have too much power, it's a problem.
tim pool
No, no.
unidentified
So I have to.
I have to.
He asked me the question.
tim pool
No, no, no.
unidentified
OK.
tim pool
All right.
unidentified
All right.
No, he asked if I had god-like power, what would I do?
I said relinquish it, because I just... I'm not good with anything like that.
tim pool
I say throw the ring in the volcano.
No, no, no, the ring is a gift!
We can use it against our enemy!
luke rudkowski
That's my new nickname for you, I'm going to call you Gollum from now on.
tim pool
Boromir, get your Lord of the Rings.
ian crossland
Shout out to Sean Bean.
luke rudkowski
Potato, potato, you know what I'm trying to say.
Do you have a reference?
unidentified
No!
ian crossland
That's the Lord of the Rings, the one ring, Sauron's ring.
unidentified
Okay, I didn't watch Lord of the Rings, sorry.
I'm not trying to see... Listen, epic story.
ian crossland
Listen, maybe we can all kumbaya and have a... This evil wizard made a ring with ultimate power.
unidentified
Isn't it like three, four hours long?
lydia smith
Yeah, it's super long.
ian crossland
Anyone that would get the ring would be like, we can use this ultimate power to defeat the evil, but when they would use the ring, it would corrupt them because of the ultimate power and then they would become...
unidentified
Evil.
tim pool
Well, they'll become slaves.
ian crossland
And the movie is about taking this ring and destroying this ring.
unidentified
You just sold me on the movie.
lydia smith
You gotta watch it.
unidentified
Listen, I'm here for the night, ladies and gentlemen.
tim pool
Yeah, actually, I love that movie.
luke rudkowski
I'm down.
tim pool
Listen, what you need to understand is that, look, if I was given godlike powers, see, I'm the only one who knows what the people truly need.
unidentified
I'm good.
luke rudkowski
Why am I not surprised by that statement?
tim pool
I will have to force them to understand what's right and take from them.
lydia smith
That's right.
tim pool
And if they don't agree, I'll use my godlike powers to make them... I'm kidding.
lydia smith
That's what they think though.
ian crossland
My fear is that a dictator would use it to pacify the people first.
unidentified
That's your fear?
North Korea?
Yeah, we're like, any like, that's already listen, this is our thing.
But ultimately, all of these things have already happened throughout history.
luke rudkowski
Well, China is already implementing it.
Yes, their own way, especially with facial recognition technology, especially especially with the social credit score.
So It's already happening in other parts of the world.
I mean, with these latest technological advancements, we have to understand we're coming towards a reckoning.
We're coming towards a major change in the way we used to live our lives that we're not going to go back to ever again.
There's a very important turning point that we're reaching that, as you said, there's no bringing the genie back.
And it's it's unregulated it's uncontrolled and it's in the hands of a very few individuals that exploited and used government to their own personal benefit to be some of the largest most powerful institutions in the world we have people right now like Bill Gates like Jeff Bezos like even Elon Musk that are some of the richest people in world history never have There have been so many few individuals with so much power all over the entire world, historically speaking, and that's a recipe for disaster.
That's a recipe for things for being destroyed.
lydia smith
Yes, and this is something that Jordan Peterson has talked about that I've been thinking a lot about lately.
He was questioning how much inequality is too much, and I get the impression that we are going to find out.
luke rudkowski
I was thinking... Well, everyone's finding out right now because of the GameStonks situation.
ian crossland
Google owns YouTube.
Amazon owns Twitch.
Two of the largest video hosting services, social networks in the world are owned by the two of the most giant corporate monopolies in the world.
luke rudkowski
I'm also hearing reports of a lot of one-star reviews of the Robin Hood app being allegedly taken down.
unidentified
No, no, it's legit.
tim pool
I know because I left them a one-star review.
luke rudkowski
And then were you able to see it?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they got nuked, they're gone.
No, I mean, I gave them a one-star review.
unidentified
Listen, if this type of stuff does not wake people up, Let it wake you up.
Just watch everything unfold.
Don't make a decision, but let it wake you up.
luke rudkowski
Support independent media that's brave enough to speak these truths.
Whether it's this video or another independent creator that is putting their family-friendly show here.
I have so many other things I want to express.
tim pool
And you can support independent creators by going to TimCast.com and becoming a member today.
luke rudkowski
We are changed.
Sorry, I had a cough there.
ian crossland
Update on the TimCast.com support.
Send an email to members at TimCast.com if you're having trouble logging in.
We're tearing through support and getting back to people bit by bit.
unidentified
So how many of you all live out here?
We're actually in the st.
I don't even know how many people live here.
lydia smith
It's a commune.
tim pool
Eight?
unidentified
Yeah, it's a commune.
ian crossland
Yeah, it's a co-commune.
unidentified
Cool.
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
We shouldn't tell people that.
Hey, hey, hey.
Are we drinking alcohol during the...
For security purposes, we should not be telling people how many people live here.
14.
tim pool
Too many.
28.
We're actually in the St. Louis Arch right now.
unidentified
Actually, I hadn't had an opportunity to be to St.
Louis in quite some time and I absolutely love it.
lydia smith
Yes, it's great, right?
luke rudkowski
East St.
unidentified
Louis has a lot of good energy.
I just love it.
So thank you so much for having me.
Anytime.
ian crossland
I love this city.
lydia smith
Anytime.
tim pool
I wonder how obvious it is that we're not in St.
unidentified
Louis.
tim pool
Because Alex Jones kept saying that.
He kept saying Missouri or something.
He was looking at me and smiling and kept saying it.
I'm like, I get it!
unidentified
I get it!
tim pool
Yeah, we're in Iowa.
unidentified
If we were in Iowa, I would have had a much shorter day.
tim pool
No, most people know where we are anyway.
It's not a secret.
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, we got docs a long time ago.
unidentified
Oh, lovely.
Yeah, I was docs the other day.
It was awesome.
tim pool
Yeah, we're actually in a skyscraper in downtown Manhattan, just a financial district, downtown Manhattan.
unidentified
Yeah, it's true.
tim pool
Downtown, really?
unidentified
Because we're rich now.
lydia smith
That's true.
tim pool
Well, no, because the city collapsed and the prices became cheap.
So, you know, now the property value is worthless.
unidentified
Just kidding.
We're not rich now.
Let me stay out of any jokes.
tim pool
A lot of these people in the stock market are the ones who got rich throughout the past year while everyone else was suffering.
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
That was... I think that's adding to the frustration.
tim pool
Yeah, imagine that.
unidentified
Talking about kicking somebody while they're already down.
Seriously.
lydia smith
So what they're basically saying is $600 is actually a lot of money.
All you have to do is invest it really carefully.
And they're like, oh, no, no, not like that.
Not like that.
Never like that.
How dare you stop what you're doing.
luke rudkowski
It's going to be interesting if Biden's going to go through with the $2,000 or the $1,400.
It's going to be interesting because it's going to give a lot of people a lot of leverage.
lydia smith
Yeah, and they're going to buy a lot of stocks.
I'm looking forward to it.
luke rudkowski
Maybe.
Or alternatives.
But it's really uncertain where it goes.
I don't want to direct it.
I don't think anyone can direct it.
But there's this swell.
There's this feeling that is undeniable.
It's here.
It's not going away.
It can't be pacified.
It can't be lied to.
The more you lie to it, the more you have these CNN, mainstream media, news articles, and journalists scuffing at it, the more emboldened this kind of fervor, this kind of feeling that is on the left, on the right, is becoming more impromptu and will be extremely, extremely visceral coming up in the future.
tim pool
Do you think for the house we need to get maybe like a grandfathered and belt-fed, you know, 5.56 or perhaps auto-defense turrets, 50 cal, just... I don't even know what you're talking about.
unidentified
You mean the House of Representatives like Nancy Pelosi wants?
No!
lydia smith
The People's House.
tim pool
So auto defense turret just become a robot that just laser sight target somebody and start shooting them.
So basically a automatic gun.
I'm kidding, by the way.
lydia smith
Oh, let's do it.
tim pool
Well, Luke's just talking about something.
unidentified
You guys have done nothing but made me feel uncomfortable about staying here.
tim pool
Okay, so like, we're talking about you being safe here.
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
lydia smith
Come in.
tim pool
Yeah, we're talking about bad people trying to come and then the robot just, oh, you know what term it is?
unidentified
You guys should assign Ian, he's not in here right now so I could talk a little bit of trash.
You should assign him to watch my room overnight and just sit outside like a guard.
He'd be great at that.
tim pool
We, we, Luke has this little tennis ball launcher.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
It's an excellent weapon.
So if someone comes up and goes, and hit him with a tennis ball.
lydia smith
Yes.
unidentified
There you go.
luke rudkowski
Along with clown shoes.
unidentified
Perfect, perfect tactical defense force.
tim pool
To be honest, if like someone was breaking in and then like Ian with a clown costume and a tennis ball gun started screaming and running at him, they might run.
They might freak out and be like, what?
luke rudkowski
What's happening?
tim pool
Element of surprise, shock and awe.
unidentified
I love it.
He's got a great personality.
I think he's got a nice, he's got an interesting personality.
I like it.
tim pool
Yeah.
He's got the, uh, the primal youth.
He took some, didn't he?
lydia smith
Oh, I don't know.
unidentified
Yeah, he did.
So how long have you been growing your hair out?
ian crossland
Like five years.
unidentified
Really?
ian crossland
No, maybe more than that.
Three, seven years.
unidentified
It's luxurious.
lydia smith
Oh, thank you.
unidentified
Yeah.
You should give it like a little wave.
tim pool
You should take one and then do a chemical analysis on it to see all the different compounds in there.
unidentified
I'm not allowed to say the first question that he asked me.
luke rudkowski
If you get desperate, you can just start smoking your hair.
ian crossland
I used to not wash it.
I'd wash it every five days or something.
But now I use baby shampoo.
I highly recommend it.
tim pool
Only the best and most important.
ian crossland
Easy on the follicles.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
We'll do a whole clip like Ian explains baby shampoo.
ian crossland
Or I'll bring some on next time.
unidentified
Of course I take this very serious, very important show into some conversation about shampoo.
They're like, we were waiting for her to bring up glitter and shampoo and rainbow and cupcakes.
ian crossland
They take your politics seriously if they know what kind of shampoo you use.
lydia smith
That's true.
unidentified
It just shows that you're a man of the people.
lydia smith
That's right.
unidentified
I do love people.
ian crossland
You know what I mean?
tim pool
Well, how about we take Super Chats?
If you haven't already, smash the like button.
unidentified
I want another coffee and I gotta go.
Our guest will return.
tim pool
Smash the like button, hit the notification bell, subscribe, and go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we're gonna have a very serious members-only segment where we're gonna say a whole bunch of words that YouTube will probably ban us for.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, we're gonna focus on... Well, not just words.
The guest we have on is very important, and she's going to bring up a lot of important issues that we can't talk about on YouTube.
That's going to be extremely important for people to understand.
tim pool
This is what really bothers me the most about YouTube.
There are a lot of people who have had their channels nuked.
And they tell me, Tim, just say the things that need to be said, and I'm like, and then I won't have a channel at all.
So let's say there's like 99 things I need to tell you, and there's one thing they tell me I can't say.
I say, okay, well I'm gonna find a way to make sure you know you can get access to that one thing.
But if YouTube bans me, then I can't tell you anything.
So that's a real difficult position to be in.
luke rudkowski
It's difficult because the list of things you can't say is being added more and more and more every day and it's just it's just it's like walking a tightrope and it's it's very difficult.
tim pool
I'll just put it this way.
She's a survivor advocate for human trafficking, and what we're going to be talking about on TimCast.com is not for children.
And you need to get them out of the room when we talk about it.
luke rudkowski
Well, the issues that have unified the left and the right within the last few years, like an individual named Epstein, that unified the left and the right.
And I mean, these are important issues to get into that really do matter.
So I think maybe we should even, I don't know, we'll talk about afterwards.
tim pool
We'll do it.
We'll do it.
Let's do some Super Chats first.
So let's see.
Scott Hale says, how does one transfer their stock into a new place other than Robin Hood?
Honestly, I don't know.
I have no idea.
ian crossland
Oh, it's just a transfer.
I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah, it's like, apparently you can do it.
I have no idea.
Let's see.
SunSailorGaming says, hey Tim, I put this in front of Adam too, but search up Texas HB1359.
I want to see your reaction.
lydia smith
Let me see.
tim pool
You want to take a look, whoever?
HB1359.
Trevor Lynch, thanks for the super chat.
He says, use this to buy Dogecoin.
I will.
lydia smith
Oh, cool.
tim pool
Cam says, my brother made $21,000 and Robinhood froze his account, too.
This is messed up.
Love your work, Tim and guys.
That's brutal, man.
Class action, lawsuit time.
No joke.
We have one.
Nex says, Dogecoin to the moon.
Did you guys find it?
lydia smith
Yeah, it's Texas C-Session.
tim pool
Oh, okay, right on.
lydia smith
Yeah, so we'll see about that.
ian crossland
I'm gonna buy some Dogecoin.
tim pool
Do it.
There you go.
That's true, and I think it's a great thing that Rubin has built, but I have TimCast.com, which is proprietary, and why would I want to use a centralized app?
This is the challenge, man.
We need to find a way to make some kind of white-label service.
I like what Locals has in terms of a company, but it's still a centralized server, which means if a payment processor goes to them and says, you have to ban this user, otherwise we ban you, this is what happens.
It's the point of failure.
What I would like to see is white-label social media technology that networks with all the other white-label technologies, and then you run it much like you would WordPress on your server.
Then, You'll have a bunch of people who have their own servers, their own providers, and the software networks to each other, but each is individually controlled by the person, so you can't go to one person and nuke the whole thing.
We'll see if that ever comes to pass.
Let's see.
Cryptic says, get physical silver ASAP.
We are going to F up the comics and LBMA next for their paper silver fraud.
You can get some from JM Bullion and AppMex websites.
I have mucho silvero.
I believe a lot of people probably have gotten some, but I'm not, you know, look, I'm not super.
Like owning gold, silver, and all that stuff.
So, but I have silver.
Dent Crow says, Tim Pool.
Harumph, I say.
More like Tim Fool.
Thou beeth a knave, foul and salty.
Rise up, Timcast.
Luke, Ian, Lydia.
Depose the false idol.
I am a gorilla.
Harumph, harumph, harumph.
unidentified
Whoa.
That's a lot.
tim pool
Thank you.
ian crossland
That's a wonderful super chat.
lydia smith
Thank you.
unidentified
That's really a lot.
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
Dag Nabbit says, your top story should be how New York underreported nursing home COVID deaths by half.
Wow, we got people going hard on Dogecoin.
Like, Rago Hurtado says Dogecoin is more of a stimulus for the plebs than anything Congress is going to do.
Here's some tendies.
Much Tim.
Gorilla strong.
lydia smith
Thanks, man.
tim pool
Oh, here we go.
Augustine Uribe says, I am up about 3k from when I bought GameStop months ago.
Really low.
We can win.
Hold the line.
unidentified
Oh, congratulations.
tim pool
Dogecoin up over 400%.
That's great.
ian crossland
That's awesome.
tim pool
So we have the I am a Grilla shirt pinned, and I'm confident- Do I get one for coming?
We don't have any here.
It's Teespring Omega.
unidentified
I don't even get the whack one?
I want the bogus one, actually.
You guys got any bogus ones laying around?
tim pool
No!
unidentified
We gotta get one, though.
tim pool
A bunch of people got the bogus ones.
unidentified
I was really hoping I was gonna get a bogus... Actually, no.
Like, where would I even wear it?
lydia smith
It's so... At home.
unidentified
Cringe.
Yeah.
It's so cringe!
lydia smith
I know, it's cringe though.
unidentified
I love it.
tim pool
We got uncultured barbarians saying, we got lucky and momentarily exposed their gut.
I expect the crackdown will be harsh and swift as even memes are grounds for arrest in 2021.
Whether the storm lads rough seas ahead, we are intrepid, we carry on.
You are correct.
Aaron says, Tim, you've talked Thucydides trap with China and America.
What about legacy media and the internet?
Legacy media had total control of the narrative and the only major echo chamber now threatened they're at war.
That is correct.
That is absolutely correct.
Inside of the Ages says, David is a very mainstream, lefty kind of guy, and what more can be said?
idea how dangerous. I feel you guys have to have a convo for the sake of his viewers. He's lost."
David is a very mainstream lefty kind of guy and what more can be said? He's not a journalist and
I'm not saying to be disrespectful. David Pakman doesn't do, as far as I know, like independent
fact-checking research. So, and again, I'm not saying that to be disrespectful.
I'm saying David Pakman is a personality and pundit and commentator, and I do similarly, but I actually do copy for comments and I do fact-checking, but that's not the biggest portion of what I do.
My point is, there was one segment where David Pakman was reacting to a Meet the Press segment with Ted Cruz, where Ted, where I think it was, what's that guy's name on Meet the Press?
Whatever.
He laughed at, what was it?
I can't remember the guy's name.
lydia smith
I can't either.
tim pool
He laughed at Ted Cruz because he was asked, Ted Cruz, do you think Ukraine meddled in the election?
And Ted Cruz says, yes.
And then you hear laughing in the NBC studio.
David responded to that as though NBC was correct.
If David had done original research journalism, again, not to be disrespectful, it's how he does, then he would have found that you have a Politico story, you have the New York Times reporting that a court in Ukraine said that Ukraine was meddling in the U.S.
election.
It just wasn't at the scale of what Russia was accused of.
It was like a handful of ranking individuals in Ukraine who were trying to help Hillary Clinton.
So that's his thing, you know, whatever.
He's doing really well.
So good for him.
But, uh, I don't know what you expect from him or from Meet the Press or from Rachel Maddow.
They're not journalists.
I guess that people might claim they are.
ian crossland
They're just not investigative journalists.
tim pool
No, they're not journalists.
ian crossland
They're activists.
tim pool
I have a question.
So journalism is when you collect and disseminate information.
An opinion pundit or political pundit are people who just give their opinions on what they heard.
ian crossland
So he's not really a professional journalist.
He's more of an amateur.
He's not a journalist at all.
Well, if you make a journal, you're a journalist.
tim pool
So journalism is like, when we pull up a story, right?
unidentified
I'm so confused!
luke rudkowski
Welcome to my world.
tim pool
I'm so confused!
I'll explain the very basic way to understand journalism.
We pull up a story on GameStop.
I then see, they say, WallStreetBets says X. And I go, okay, let me fact check that.
I then pull up the Reddit, read what they're actually saying, and then follow their claims, and then say, The news says this, they say this, so I have now tried to
collect the truthful information as to what's going on and then disseminate it.
David Pakman on the other hand will read the news article and then say, wow, can you believe that this is happening?
lydia smith
Uncritical.
tim pool
So it's more like pundits like Rachel Maddow and the Young Turks and David Pakman,
they don't do the original legwork to go into the sources.
is request comments that would be journalism. They might argue back I I think I don't think David Peckman would
argue that is a journalist I think you would say that is a personality and political pundit. So when someone criticizes
him for parroting the mainstream media narratives I'm like.
Sure I mean that's what a lot of people do I'm not sure how much original research Tucker Carlson does to be completely
honest. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
I'm just saying there's a difference between someone who's fact-checking the news stories and someone who's just saying, like, here was a story and I'm going to tell you about it.
That being said, 80% of what I do is just reading the news and then commenting on it.
But then I always, always, for every story, dig into the source material to figure out, is it real or not?
Because you don't know who to trust.
unidentified
Can I ask you a question I was thinking earlier?
Yes.
Why did you become a journalist?
tim pool
I don't know if I ever became a journalist.
I just went to Occupy Wall Street.
unidentified
Do you consider yourself a journalist?
I mean, I'm not trying to be funny.
Do you consider yourself a journalist?
tim pool
Yes.
unidentified
Okay, so why did you go to Occupy Wall Street?
tim pool
I wanted to see what was going on.
I heard something was happening and I wanted to see it.
luke rudkowski
He heard Luke Rudowsky of We Are Change was there.
unidentified
Yeah, I was following him and I was like, oh, I really want to meet Luke!
ian crossland
I just saw a video on We Are Change, YouTube's channel, where he's interviewing Tim Poole and they have the Google Glass app on the phone and he's like, who is Tim Poole?
And they're a journalist award winning.
And then it's, who is Luke Rutkowski?
Conspiracy theorist.
luke rudkowski
Yeah.
ian crossland
You guys got to check that video out.
luke rudkowski
Well, no, I'm not.
unidentified
I'm not.
What does it say?
ian crossland
It is so funny.
luke rudkowski
I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
I'm a bullish analyzer.
It's not ish.
It's something else.
Family friendly show.
I even got tape to cover it up for you.
But but the mainstream media has always labeled me and attacked me.
You're a conspiracy theorist.
Have have I said anything on this show that amounts to any of the craziness, wackiness?
unidentified
I mean, really, it makes you feel any better.
I never heard of you before this.
ian crossland
I think you.
unidentified
I mean, I saw you on the show, but.
ian crossland
I think you performed surgical investigation of 9-11, and that made a lot of people very nervous, and so they started claiming that you were all sorts of things.
luke rudkowski
Well, I worked with family members and first responders that were affected by 9-11 and were lied to in certain instances, so again, like, even when I speculate, I say, hey, I'm speculating here, I think this might be the thing, this is, you know, point A, point B, let's make up your own mind.
That's been my major... That was a funny video.
Which one?
The conspiracy theorist one?
tim pool
The Google Glass one?
ian crossland
Yes, please go watch that video on Google.
unidentified
I mean, I think it sounds cool.
There's nothing wrong with taking a deeper look.
luke rudkowski
It was an award-winning journalist.
tim pool
Tim Pool is an award-winning journalist from Chicago, Illinois.
Who is Luke Rydkowski?
Conspiracy theorist.
luke rudkowski
They even said it in a weird voice.
ian crossland
They're like, you mother... It's just two words.
luke rudkowski
Totally depersonated me on Wikipedia, too.
tim pool
Let's read some more of the Super Chats.
Josh says, just started pulling my money from Robin Hood.
I'll invest it where it should be.
I'll be going to Timcast full-time.
That's where the value is.
Thank you, good sirs.
Let's see.
Mountain Mama says, Timothy cast IRL.
We'll consider the name change.
Duly considered.
unidentified
Timothy.
Timothy.
tim pool
Yes.
Connor Burleson says, bunch of individuals use the free market to redistribute wealth
from the rich to the poor.
Spoken capitalists are better at socialism than socialists are.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
It's true.
There you go.
We got to get a drum kit in here and have someone just for the rim shot when...
ian crossland
I'm so down to have a jam session on Friday.
tim pool
No, no, for the jokes.
So they go, ba-dum-tsh.
ian crossland
Oh, okay.
You know, I still want a jam session.
unidentified
Hit it, boys!
I'm on tambourine.
I'll be on tambourine.
I got you.
Or like, what are the shakers?
ian crossland
Marambas?
unidentified
I'll be on anything like innocuous.
luke rudkowski
I'll have the wooden block.
tim pool
Alright.
Dead Scott says, Wake up!
AMC is China-owned.
You're bailing out the CCP.
Buying the stock of a company doesn't increase the, like, the people who own AMC aren't getting money when someone else trades stock.
Like, so let's say, like, Luke and I have a stock in Ian, and we traded amongst ourselves.
Ian, that watches us trade, doesn't do anything.
Now, if AMC issues stock to sell, or the people who run it start selling out their shares, then they're going to profit from it.
We got Michael saying, hold the line, a bunch of rockets.
unidentified
Heck yeah.
tim pool
Brewmaster Monk says, after 2008, my grandma retired to bed and became addicted to hydrocodone.
lydia smith
Hydrocodone.
tim pool
It says cordone.
I know, but it's... She fell apart so bad, we had to put her in the nursing home where she died a few months ago, alone due to COVID.
I want blood.
Yikes, man.
unidentified
Breaks my heart.
tim pool
Yeah.
Josie Flanagan says, this is the funniest S I've ever seen in my life.
I love it.
And I love watching you guys.
Thank you so much.
I love it when something happens where we're laughing about it.
It's funny.
unidentified
We won't be in a little bit.
Wait till we switch behind the paywall.
lydia smith
Let's keep it light for now.
tim pool
Yeah, we'll keep it light.
Rocket Man says, I would love to see Tim have Dave Portnoy on soon.
I would love to have Dave on, but I mean, he's a bit of a big fish, man.
Can a Tim Casserole podcast really get someone like Dave Portnoy?
Dave, love to have you on the show.
luke rudkowski
It'll be amazing.
unidentified
Way to make me feel really good.
Way to make me feel like a super pleb.
tim pool
I feel like we're all super plebs.
Dave Portnoy is like the super wealthy founder of Barstool Sports.
unidentified
Oh yeah, he's great.
I love his He's on fire right now.
I love his energy.
That's it.
That's the move.
How do we get him to be... Exactly.
See, that's what I'm saying.
I need him to be... Can we run for office?
Can he be my friend?
lydia smith
I know, right?
unidentified
He's great.
tim pool
He does pizza reviews.
They're great.
unidentified
I don't care.
No, I love his energy.
That's the type of energy I want in the movement that I'm in.
lydia smith
Did you see him helping small businesses?
They raised like $24 million.
unidentified
I just love it!
luke rudkowski
And the CEO of GameStop donated some of his winnings towards Barstool, the fund that was helping out independent businesses.
tim pool
That's kind of cool.
We got a good one here.
Gareth Green.
It's been funny seeing- It's been funny to see you, Sargon and the Lotus Eaters, Crystal and Cigar, Yongya, and Angry Joe all chortle with glee over this, and I'm chortling too.
This is laissez-faire populism.
On Rising, Crystal giggled maniacally all through it.
That's hilarious!
Me too!
I love seeing the little guys concert all their energy and then take down those big manipulators, those liars, there's cheaters, there's those stealers.
You know how it goes.
DP Prestige says, Ian said it best last night.
We're in the matrix.
Robin Hood had a hand in bringing multi BB hedge funds down.
GameStop stopped their game.
ian crossland
Isn't it crazy?
unidentified
What is this?
ian crossland
So weird.
tim pool
I know.
unidentified
Could it be a simulation?
lydia smith
Yeah, probably.
tim pool
Doesn't Elon Musk think we're in a simulation?
unidentified
Yes, he does.
ian crossland
He thinks that if it's possible that we could be, then we most likely are, which I don't understand that logic.
I want to talk to him about that.
unidentified
OK, wait, say that again.
ian crossland
He's saying that if we were eventually one day to be able to build a technology that would allow us to be in a simulation, then most likely it has already happened.
But I don't understand the most likely part.
Just because it's possible doesn't, to me, doesn't mean that it's likely.
lydia smith
Interesting.
Yeah, we should have him on and ask him.
tim pool
I think we're in a simulation.
unidentified
I invite myself that day.
lydia smith
Yes, absolutely.
unidentified
For no random reason.
tim pool
The Grizzly says, Joe Biden just signed, signed in the same under a different name to answer diversity and help minority people find homes.
But it's just the same Clinton era law that caused the housing crisis.
All this on top of record high unemployment.
Hope you got food.
We have a bunch of these emergency food things, mostly because we do, you know, they sponsor us sometimes, the safe and ready meals.
Uh, I'll just do a shout out, I guess, not as like an official confirmed sponsor spot, but safeandreadymeals.com.
They've got emergency food things that are good for like 25 years.
So, we do have food.
Not an official sponsor, but, uh, you know, I like it when they sponsor, so I appreciate it.
ian crossland
Just another 12 gallons of vinegar.
tim pool
Why?
ian crossland
Just pure white vinegar.
It's the cleaning agent type.
unidentified
So you have all this food here.
And you just bought how much vinegar?
ian crossland
12 gallons.
I have different types of vinegar.
I've got tarragon, malt, balsamic, white wine, red wine, and now white vinegar, which is the most acidic of vinegars.
tim pool
We made homemade General Tso's chicken the other day, and then today I invented my own garlic sauce.
You use vinegar.
I mix some balsamic vinegar with cornstarch to thicken it up and add that flavor.
It's amazing.
unidentified
Yeah, and you offered your guests nothing.
luke rudkowski
You didn't tell me you had food.
tim pool
Yes, I did.
We made a whole bunch.
unidentified
It's cool.
ian crossland
We have kombucha brewing down there.
unidentified
Really?
ian crossland
Let's taste it afterwards.
unidentified
That's my jam, yeah.
lydia smith
It looks good.
ian crossland
It's in, it's part one right now.
unidentified
Oh, so we won't be able to, dang.
ian crossland
We can taste it though.
lydia smith
Okay, we'll just take a little bit.
tim pool
Cargo says, I am a gorilla that supports the pleb.
unidentified
Yay!
I am a gorilla!
tim pool
Grand Kai says, they're not using loaded, they're using regular dice.
Then when it comes up seven, they scream snake eyes.
When you scream, they drag you into an alley and beat you until you apologize and pay them for their inconvenience.
It's like the three card Monte.
You walk up and you're like, you can win.
Just tell us where the ace is.
And then when you're like, it's there, they go, okay, punch in the face and take your money anyway.
lydia smith
It's a good game.
tim pool
Luke Wilmer says Dogecoin is actually worth buying.
I'm up $400 since noon earlier today with a $500 investment.
Other GameStop buyers are going for it, too.
It's real.
Well, a lot of people say that.
We'll see.
I think Dogecoin's a fun thing to buy, and I think the meme power might actually drive it up, so.
Office of the artist formerly known as Chef says, I bought $1,000 of AMC today.
A caveat, I spent this week's weed budget on it.
Only spend what you can afford to lose, but it's worth the scalp.
Stonky Kong, Stonk Team 6.
There you go.
unidentified
There's a lot happening in that.
Are these super chats?
lydia smith
Yeah.
unidentified
I feel like every time I write a super chat, it's like two sentences.
How are they fitting a whole novel I don't know.
tim pool
Small, small words.
lydia smith
Yeah, they manage.
tim pool
I love this one from Garrett Green.
He says, it's weird how Rashida Tlaib has become the voice of reason this year.
2021 is looking up.
I'm down.
I'm down.
She's got a few tweets that are killing it and I'm here for it.
unidentified
Listen, I'm not mad about it.
If somebody wants to say something real, even if I'm not with anything else that they're talking about, but they say that one real thing.
lydia smith
Props.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Super props.
unidentified
You could agree with somebody on one thing.
tim pool
All right, we got Sol Invictus who says, Reckless, dangerous behaviors in 2008 were stupid people using their homes as ATMs, signing contracts they weren't forced to.
The fault lies with the American people, which is why those investment vehicles were taken from them and given to qualified investors only.
Didn't someone say Biden just signed basically the same thing?
Is that happening?
lydia smith
Yeah, I saw that in Super Chat.
tim pool
Martha Stewart was arrested in 2001 for insider trading.
I remember that.
I don't know a whole lot about it though.
Tears says, in case you missed it, sent you a message on your SCNR email about execs ordering legitimate Robinhood app reviews to be removed from the Play Store.
Don't know if there is a better way to reach you about such things.
Fighting a sneeze, forgive me.
ian crossland
Do it.
tim pool
Mark Johnson says, Will Timcast ever stream on Timcast.com?
Have a members chat stream?
Yes.
lydia smith
I hope so.
tim pool
We have recently discovered the technology in order to implement this.
So there's going to be soon members only live streams at Timcast.com and we're going to do events and it's going to be a lot of fun.
We're going to do like I guess you call it pay-per-view, but like there will be member events where if you're a member, you can just click open, watch the stream, and then people can buy like a single pass for a buck or something, or, you know, five bucks or something.
And then we're going to have like comedians come out and we'll actually have some members be allowed to come to the studio and hang out.
That's the plan so far.
We're trying to work towards there.
COVID is an issue and you know, we'll see how things play out.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
What do you got here?
Troy Bruce says, the elites think that they will defeat us, but we will not budge.
I'm currently holding 100 shares of GameStop with my diamond hands.
If deep effing value holds, we hold.
GameStop past the moon, headed for Alpha Centauri.
Well, they're saying tomorrow they're going to reopen trading.
So I think, again, not advice for anyone to do anything, but I think it's going to go right up.
ian crossland
You do?
Yes.
I think it's being gamed.
I'm afraid that- We know it is.
We know it is.
People already sold half.
It's down like 50% on today.
tim pool
That's not true.
ian crossland
It was like $150.
It was $280 yesterday.
tim pool
So, what Wall Street Bets is saying, that the hedge funds were dumping between each other to force the price down.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
But people- but, yes.
So I sell it to Luke for $9, Luke sells it to me for $8, then $7, then $6, then $5, then $4, then $3, then $2, then $1, and then the computers see the prices going down and say, oh wow, look at that, it's not worth anything anymore.
Yup, they play dirty, dirty games.
So I'm not saying that's true, that's the accusation.
More importantly, no, it's gonna go up, you know why?
Not advice for anyone to do anything, it's risky.
But I think these people, we've seen it, they're out for blood, figuratively.
They're like, one dude said he put in $56,000 and he's ready to lose it all, he's never gonna sell.
He wants to just buy it up.
ian crossland
The problem is if you look at it like Art of War, Sun Tzu stuff, if you keep attacking from the same spot, they're gonna zero in on your location and shell you with artillery.
So this GameStop thing seems like a risky position.
I could be wrong about that.
tim pool
I think it's just an issue of they'll have to pass some rule changes.
But, like, they've already shattered the system in a desperate attempt to save themselves.
I think you've got a decentralized network of five million people who will find a new attack vector.
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
So the game is on.
ian crossland
Follow the Reddit trail.
Follow the crowd.
tim pool
Mike Mendoza says, how do you feel about the Mark of the Beast Microsoft patented blockchain cryptocurrency injection?
Perhaps the vaccine moment has everything to do with desensitization of the masses accepting Mark.
ian crossland
Have you heard about this, Eliza?
unidentified
I'm good on all that, and I'll pass on all that.
ian crossland
So Microsoft patented a technology... I'm cold!
unidentified
You convinced me with everything there!
Everything he just said, I'm good on.
ian crossland
I'm not sure if they inject it into you, or if they implant, you eat it in a pill, or if it's how they get it into you, but you implant something.
unidentified
Anyway we cut it.
I don't want any of it.
I'm good.
ian crossland
Well, the argument is in the future when we don't have jobs anymore and it's automated, we still need a way to earn income.
And this way, it's going to track your behavior.
So if you watch an ad on TV, it can tell.
unidentified
Yeah, I know.
ian crossland
And then they'll pay you.
tim pool
So fullfact.org says there's nothing in it about injections at all.
ian crossland
Yeah, I've heard that too.
But it is an implantable of some sort.
tim pool
It's just, it references rewarding people with cryptocurrency for physical activity.
ian crossland
So the patent doesn't... That's how it starts.
tim pool
But it is patent 060606.
That's how it starts.
lydia smith
Weird, yeah.
unidentified
But, okay, this is... I don't even want to get too dicey right now.
I don't... No, it's too dicey.
I'm gonna steer clear.
lydia smith
Keep it in, keep it in.
unidentified
Yeah, I'll keep it inside.
tim pool
Alright, Yeet says, Hey Tim, love the show, Daily Watcher.
Bought a lot of Dogecoin, sold it all because I was scared of Robin Hood's security after the GameStop stuff.
And then it starts to skyrocket.
Also love Ian being on the show, talk more about DMT.
ian crossland
Mmm, dimethyltryptamine.
unidentified
Wait, I thought we literally, that was like, specifically one of the things we weren't allowed to talk about.
ian crossland
No, one of the things you're not allowed to ask.
Have you ever taken DMT?
unidentified
So, okay, hold on, back up for everybody at home.
tim pool
That was a joke.
unidentified
For all the viewers at home, he walks in and he goes, have you ever done DMT?
ian crossland
I want to know, but you said no.
unidentified
I said no, I have not.
tim pool
So, hold on, full disclosure, before the show, I said the one question you're never allowed to ask is, have you ever tried DMT?
Because only Ian's allowed to ask it.
unidentified
Yes.
Okay, well I didn't know that.
tim pool
It's a joke though, I'm serious.
unidentified
He walks in and he's like, have you ever done DMT?
ian crossland
And I was like, You're producing it right now in your brain, in your pineal gland.
And it's in a lot of plants too.
tim pool
Is it the pineal gland that does that?
Yeah.
unidentified
I'm not saying I have any problem with it.
It's just not something that comes around me.
I'm kind of... Right.
ian crossland
It's not common.
I think it's technically, it's illegal to buy.
I mean, I don't think you just buy it on the street or anything, but what an amazing substance.
unidentified
Interesting.
I mean, like Rogan's pretty much sold me on it a while ago.
Like, it's not like I'm against it, but we're not doing it tonight.
I can tell you this.
ian crossland
I don't think we are.
tim pool
Got a very important super chat.
Cole Will says, Hey, I'm a supporter, but haven't received an email yet.
Can you put a notice on the front of your website with the email to write into?
Cole, it is there.
It is members at timcast.com.
It is there right above the member section.
You can email and support is standing by to accept your emails.
There was some kind of plugin glitch.
That affected a small amount of people, and we are getting it all sorted.
So if that affected you, just shoot an email over to members at TimCast.com and we will take care of it.
ian crossland
We're actually increasing our support staff.
I did some support today.
It was quite fun and effective, so we will constantly be getting back to you guys.
tim pool
And then, that's a surprise for everybody, too.
You might actually get an email back from members at TimCast.com signed Ian, and then they can say things to you.
ian crossland
Wouldn't that be exciting?
unidentified
So they're putting you to work.
tim pool
They'll be like, Ian, Ian, tell me more about- I'm undercover!
Well, we've got some friends who are going to come and help because we're really trying to make sure everybody can get through and everything like that.
ian crossland
When you start a website, support ends up becoming a huge chunk of running that thing.
luke rudkowski
Igor's coming back.
lydia smith
He is.
unidentified
How long has a website been around?
tim pool
Only like three weeks.

Two and a half weeks.

Socratic Disciple says, Hey Luke, I designed my own political shirt.
I'd love to send you one and maybe let you sell it on your page for a 50-50 cut.
Message me on Mines.
I followed you there.
Same name and Tim.
JP Sears would be a great guest.
luke rudkowski
Yeah, I agree.
tim pool
Do we ask JP?
lydia smith
Okay, so JP is super, super busy.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
As soon as he's not as busy, we're going to try He just had a baby, too.
luke rudkowski
What a great entrepreneur.
Thank you so much.
I'm not checking the messages on mine, but you can email me luke at wearechange.org.
I look forward to seeing your design.
lydia smith
Very cool.
tim pool
Colton Lindsey says, Tim, what do you think about hard format entertainment like bookstores, game trading, and DVDs making a comeback in the next five years, given censorship direction we're in right now?
Yeah, possible.
So when you have Amazon Prime, and you buy a movie, you didn't buy the movie.
You bought a license to use the movie.
If you wanna actually own that movie, you gotta buy the movie.
So I bought Blazing Saddles.
ian crossland
I love that movie.
unidentified
I wasn't allowed to watch R-rated movies as a kid, but my dad said, you can watch Blazing Saddles.
ian crossland
movie I ever saw.
tim pool
What's Blazing Saddles?
Is it Mel Brooks?
ian crossland
I wasn't allowed to watch R-rated movies as a kid, but my dad said, you can watch Blazing
tim pool
Saddles.
It's a comedy.
It's a Western comedy.
It's Mel Brooks, right?
Yep.
And it's just like a lot of racist.
ian crossland
Gene Wilder in his prime.
Racist jokes.
luke rudkowski
It's very racist.
Well, in Cuba, there's already an industry of individuals getting hard drives when entertainment
and passing it around from one community to another community.
So, I mean, it's going to happen soon.
tim pool
But I'll say this, too.
I've constantly wondered why GameStop isn't opening up a portion of their stores.
ian crossland
They can't yet because of COVID.
So that's... No, no, no.
tim pool
Before this.
Before COVID.
ian crossland
Yeah, a friend of mine wants to do that same thing.
Brick and Mortar Games Shop.
tim pool
Well, so you have GameStop, and I'm like, you should be community building, dude.
Like, have kids come in to play in Friday night game competitions like Magic the Gathering does, and that's what makes the game work.
So, for those that aren't familiar with Magic the Gathering, they do something called Friday Night Magic, where every Friday night, all the people who love playing the game come and they play little tournaments.
It's like, you know, four matches, and the winner gets some free packs of cards.
GameStop doesn't do anything like that.
Imagine if they were like, we're doing, you know, what's a good fighting game they're doing right now?
I don't know.
ian crossland
Tekken.
tim pool
Are they doing Tekken?
I don't know.
We're too old.
ian crossland
I haven't played fighting games in a while.
tim pool
But imagine if they said, we're gonna be doing, you know, Family Game Night, and it's Mario Kart and Mario Party.
Imagine if they said, Friday night's gonna be competition for first-person shooters.
We're gonna be doing, you know, Call of Duty or Fortnite or whatever.
Then you have the kids coming in, paying five bucks to sign up, hanging out, buying product, their parents come.
That's what makes a lot of these board game shops thrive, is that people come to play.
GameStop doesn't do that?
ian crossland
Dude, they could stream their tournaments live on their website, all that.
tim pool
They could make and eventually turn it... GameStop is poised to do this.
So you have kids come in and they do their local shop.
Then they win, you know, Fortnite.
Then they say, okay, now you're going to the citywide.
Now you're going to statewide.
Now you're going to regional.
Now you're going to nationals.
And then they do a major esports tournament and the people work their way up through... GameStop, get on your business, man.
unidentified
Have you ever seen the Illuminati New World Order game?
ian crossland
No.
Oh, wait, the card game?
unidentified
Yeah.
Google the Eliza card.
You guys are going to trip out.
tim pool
No way.
unidentified
Yes, you guys are going to die.
Nothing will seem real if you've ever won.
I'm telling you.
And there's I have so much extra stuff to add, but just it's the Eliza New World Order Illuminati card.
I have one downstairs, actually, in my purse.
Not to sound weird.
ian crossland
I would, too.
That's weird.
unidentified
She looks just like me.
Isn't it weird?
ian crossland
That's awesome.
tim pool
You can't really read what it says because I grabbed a really low resolution.
unidentified
I have one downstairs.
I have the real one.
ian crossland
It says, is it really alive or does it just think it is?
tim pool
We're in a simulation.
lydia smith
Yes, you're in it.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more.
We got Alexander Farah says, Tim, have you ever played Bloodborne?
If so, what do you think about it?
Have you played Hitman 3?
I know it's off topic, but please answer.
I've played neither game.
So I don't know.
Anybody play Bloodborne?
ian crossland
Negative.
Adam says it's amazing.
tim pool
I hear it's good.
Yeah.
Shannon Hall says, going to finally buy into member-only content tonight to listen to Eliza Blue.
Thanks for staying true.
lydia smith
Heck yeah.
tim pool
Definitely.
Lunderwear says, the GameStop stock ordeal is the brush fire flushing all the elites out into the open, where they're exposed and afraid.
That's one way to put it.
Ovaltine Jenkins says if the situation was hopeless, the propaganda would be unnecessary.
unidentified
Yes.
Yes.
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
Who first said that?
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
Somebody on Twitter, wasn't it?
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm sure.
tim pool
Alright, let's see what we got.
We'll do a couple more.
Yeah, I'm not a fan.
I played it, you know.
Sarah says Street Fighter V, even though everyone hates on it.
Yeah, I'm not a fan.
I played it, you know.
Alex Moore says, dude, I just joined .com.
No problem.
Smooth as silk.
Can't find live feed and need to stop pay on YouTube membership.
A lot of people, I think, are signing up for YouTube membership thinking it's TimCast.com
membership, and that is not correct.
So I don't know, you know, maybe we'll make a members-only YouTube video that says, hey,
No, YouTube might ban us for that.
Anyway, if you go to TimCast.com, because it is off YouTube, and the point is, we might get banned from YouTube, you know?
We got completely demonetized the other day because, unfortunately, someone said a swear word.
And that means the whole show.
unidentified
That's so weird.
You know that they're waiting.
I mean, you know that they're waiting.
tim pool
Oh, they're sitting there shaking, sweating, like, Come on, guys.
unidentified
Join us.
tim pool
And then as soon as they do, boom!
Demonetized.
unidentified
And that's just for the folks at home.
That's one of the reasons why we've been just with this topic.
So we're going to talk about on TimCast.com.
tim pool
Yeah, it's going to get spicy.
unidentified
Might get a little spicy.
So we've intentionally not because we're not allowed to really speak.
It's really censorship at its finest.
tim pool
I mean, I don't think it's I don't I don't think it's that bad.
It's just an issue of like normally we talk about the Epstein stuff.
unidentified
We have to use choice words because they would love to tear you down, Tim.
tim pool
They're waiting to press the button.
unidentified
They're waiting.
Same with Twitter and me.
We all know what it is.
ian crossland
I think Google should align with us, free your software code, become the righteous organization of the future.
We can do it.
tim pool
Ian, they removed don't be evil.
ian crossland
Don't be evil.
unidentified
What else do you need to know?
ian crossland
It was putting the word evil out there.
You don't want it on there.
unidentified
I get it.
They're waiting.
They're waiting.
So go over to TimCast.com anyway, because you already know what's coming eventually.
tim pool
Google used to say don't be evil and imagine like one day they're sitting in like their office like Sergi and whoever it's like He's bouncing a ball on the wall, and he goes hmm.
I kind of want to be evil He opens up he opens up the Google, and he just backspaces against don't be evil it's gone now It used to say YouTube Broadcast Yourself, and then they took Broadcast Yourself off.
unidentified
That sounds kind of expletive.
Not saying just saying.
ian crossland
That was like before Google bought them.
They were Broadcast Yourself.
tim pool
We'll do two more Super Chats.
We got Eduardo Selena says, Yo Tim, love the show.
Will join your site soon.
You got some wacky tricks on the board.
Let's play skate.
You will be destroyed.
You'll be completely annihilated.
You will not beat me in a game of skate.
Probably Johnny Geiger, am I getting your name right?
He would destroy me, no doubt.
And there's a bunch of pros that would probably annihilate me in skate.
But there are a lot of pros, people that I know, that refuse to play me because
I got the flat ground tricks, man.
You can look this up on YouTube.
Tim Pool, Nollie... I think it's Nollie Hardflip Rewind.
And then Hang 10 Hardflip.
And that's not even the craziest.
The craziest trick I can do is a Hang 10 Hardflip Lateflip, if you know what that is, if you're a skateboarder.
Yeah, so figure that one out.
But Nollie Hardflip Rewind is a trick.
It's a Nollie Hard Cancel Flip.
So people do... I can do Kickflip Cancel, Heelflip Cancel, and Nollie Hardflip Cancel.
Switch, Hardflip Cancel.
Oh, you're not gonna win.
unidentified
Huh?
lydia smith
Yeah, right.
tim pool
I'm just basically bragging about how good I am at skateboarding.
Yeah, but flat ground.
I'm old, to be honest.
unidentified
Soft flex.
tim pool
I'm old, so like all of my other stuff is just rusty and just like no longer that good.
unidentified
Wait, where's the skate?
Isn't there like a skate park in here somewhere?
tim pool
There are two skate parks in here.
unidentified
Oh, okay, cool.
Thanks for asking me if I want to see them.
luke rudkowski
And a puppy.
unidentified
I've seen the cat.
Actually, the cat was in my room when I went to the bathroom.
tim pool
There you go.
All right.
Last one.
We got Wojciech Zapata.
I can't pronounce it.
Luke, can you pronounce this?
luke rudkowski
I don't I can't.
I don't have a screen.
I have nothing here.
tim pool
I'm not sure.
unidentified
That's actually really it's like a pot.
tim pool
Oh, CZNY.
luke rudkowski
I'm dyslexic.
I got to see it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
He says I'm still going to mess it up for feeding the homeless Polish person in your lot.
luke rudkowski
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
But yeah, I'm not going to see that.
lydia smith
So foolish person.
ian crossland
How do you pronounce CZNY?
unidentified
Wait, wait, C, wait, Z, and Y. Uh, Xin.
ian crossland
Xin.
tim pool
So, Zapotizen?
Zapotizen?
luke rudkowski
Voitek?
I think he means Voitek.
I have to see it.
I can't see it.
tim pool
Z-A-P-O-T-O.
luke rudkowski
I'm not getting the super chat.
I'm not getting the super chat.
I'm protesting.
unidentified
Alright, alright, alright.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all so much for hanging out.
Smash that like button if you haven't already.
But hold on!
Eliza's here and she is a survivor advocate.
And it's difficult, you know, to talk about a lot of things like the Epstein stuff.
Very, very serious because every time we do, YouTube whacks us in the face.
And so one of the reasons we set up TimCast.com is to make sure that we can say whatever.
So we've been swearing a whole lot.
I don't know if it's very highbrow to do so.
Go to TimCast.com, become a member, in about probably one hour.
So we're gonna record, then we're gonna upload, and maybe about an hour it'll be up.
You'll see it.
When you go to TimCast.com, you can just click the image or the link, and then you'll go.
There's a comment section and everything.
You can sign up, become a member, and get access to this content.
And, uh, it's probably gonna get really serious.
And it might even be a little bit long.
So, make sure you do that.
Really help support the channel because... Look, my Facebook has already been restricted.
It's just done.
It's gone.
I don't even post there anymore because it doesn't work anymore.
They still allow me to have the page, but nothing happens.
I post a video, nobody sees it.
That's the game.
So a lot of people think I'm not on the chopping block.
I am.
That's why we're trying to build up TimCast.com so that they can never take us down.
Because look, in the event that we eventually get nuked, if we only have a good thousand people who support us, we can keep working and keep functioning and everything.
And maybe our views will go down from millions to only a thousand views.
But we'll have a business, you know, we'll be able to survive, we'll be able to keep doing our thing, so that's more than enough for me.
So go to TimCast.com, check it out.
And don't forget to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Mines at TimCast.
My other YouTube channels are YouTube.com slash TimCast and YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.
We are live Monday to Friday at 8 p.m., so we'll definitely be back tomorrow.
And then we're gonna have a really special thing come Saturday, which will probably go up Saturday night, maybe Sunday.
Because we are going on a top secret mission that's going to involve very big guns and fun stuff.
So make sure you're a member.
And Eliza, do you want to mention your social media before we depart?
unidentified
Yeah, you can follow me at Eliza Blue.
It's at E-L-I-Z-A-B-L-E-U on Twitter.
And then I also have a Locals.
It's Eliza.Locals.com.
And that's a free speech content creator platform.
And that is my backup.
And also my, that's my sweet oasis on the internet is Locals.
And I like to hang out there in different communities.
Shout out to the Malice community.
Shout out to the Bridget Phetasy community.
And we just hang out in there and I have my Locals there.
So it's Eliza.locals.com and it's Elizablue on Twitter.
Nice.
But I'll definitely get kicked off at some point.
luke rudkowski
We all will.
I just don't care anymore.
I'm posting a lot of reckless stuff on Twitter and Instagram all under the handle LukeWeAreChange.
I mean, if you're going to see the meme I just posted on my Instagram stories, whoo!
And yeah, if you want to get involved with what I'm doing, you could check me out on wearechange.org forward slash donate.
There's many different things that I'm doing.
You could check it out.
wearechange.org forward slash donate.
ian crossland
Check it out.
You can also follow me on the internet at Ian Crossland.
YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and the like Instagram.
But you can also follow me on twitch.tv slash Ian Crossland where I'm on my road to becoming a Twitch partner.
I'm very close.
So if you subscribe and you want to come watch one of my gaming streams and hang out in the chat, I think I'm almost there.
And then we'll create a little partner community with Adam Kriegler, one of your favorites.
Also, I try to just live a good life and be honest, so I'm not really concerned with what I'm saying online.
I will censor myself a little bit when the time calls for it, for the same reasons that Tim is.
lydia smith
Yep.
ian crossland
Lydia, I love you.
lydia smith
Oh, well, I love you too, Ian.
unidentified
No, Lydia, I love you as well.
lydia smith
Oh, thank you, thank you.
luke rudkowski
I'm feeling a little tight.
lydia smith
You're okay.
luke rudkowski
Okay, thanks, Luke.
lydia smith
All right, yeah, you're all right too.
Yeah, so I am RealSourPatchLids on Gabin Instagram, and I do have to look because I had to write it down because I'm dumb.
And then Sour Patch lids on Twitter and mine, so you can follow me there if you so desire.
I do not know why you would, but you're welcome to.
tim pool
We will be back tomorrow at 8 p.m.
live for a whole lot of fun, and we are gonna have another really big segment at TimCast.com, so thanks for hanging out, everybody, and we will see you all in about an hour or so at TimCast.com.
Adios.
