Speaker Time Text
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump has unleashed a new threat to American democracy.
So saith CNN.
Why?
Because Donald Trump gave another speech.
Well, he gave his first speech since leaving office at CPAC.
He ragged on the Democrats.
He ragged on the RINOs, the Republican In Name Only, hinted at a potential 2024 run, and talked about voter fraud and all that stuff again.
And CNN is acting like it's the apocalypse But that's not even my favorite article.
It's good, right?
It's funny to read this just apocalyptic, Donald Trump, his deadly violence, insurrection, and all this other unhinged nonsense.
But Vox also put out an article, it's a poll, survey, of Republican voters showing that the Republicans back Trump.
Like almost everything he says, they back what he's saying.
So when you see Trump give this speech, it's not just Trump unleashing a threat to democracy.
It's Trump speaking to the voters who agree with everything he's saying.
Of course, the media is now acting like it's the apocalypse.
So we got a bunch of news today.
We got that.
We got Cuomo is apparently admitting he's getting MeToo'd now three times.
They're really trying to get rid of Cuomo, I guess.
And then we have probably the most important story in the world.
Trending on Twitter is Wimxn.
You heard me right.
It's W-O-M-X-N.
And it's creating a backlash because apparently the left is angry that Twitch, the streaming service, Use this word to try and be inclusive, but now they're saying it's actually exclusive, like uninclusive, whatever the word is, because it's creating a new word that's like not for regular women.
It's dumb.
No matter what you do, you're going to offend them.
So we'll talk about that too.
We have a fun guest tonight.
We got Cassandra Fairbanks.

Trump unleashes new threat to American democracy.
I think this should actually be titled something like CNN has Trump derangement syndrome and they are unhinged.
of members only posts there and we greatly appreciate it.
But let's read this first story from CNN.
Trump unleashes new threat to American democracy.
I think this should actually be titled something like CNN has Trump derangement syndrome and
they are unhinged.
Trump basically just said the things he always says.
I got to be honest, the headline should actually be, we're lying to scare people.
The president said the same thing he said last month.
I mean, look, he gave a speech.
I guess, you know, Cassandra, you liked it.
cassandra fairbanks
I loved it.
I thought it was fun.
tim pool
But wasn't it like he was just like bringing back a lot of the same talking points?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, it sounded like usual campaign Trump.
unidentified
Right.
cassandra fairbanks
And I personally love that, but it wasn't anything outrageous.
It wasn't different.
It wasn't anything he hasn't said before.
tim pool
Let me read some of this.
Donald Trump has no remorse about the deadly violence he incited with his lies about a stolen election and his uprising against the U.S.
Congress.
Wow.
Definitively, Donald Trump did this, and it's okay.
This much was clear when the ex-president put the Republican Party on notice Sunday that he intends to use his hold on its grassroots to try and suppress the vote heading into the presidential election in 2024.
What does that mean?
In which he hinted he might run.
How is he suppressing the vote?
If he doesn't run, no one's gonna vote for the Republican.
I mean, there will be some people voting Republican, but this is just absolutely hilarious.
They go on to mention that he rags on the Supreme Court, and they say, you know, last seen leaving Washington in disgrace.
The ex-president's self-regarding wander through old political fights emphasized his obsession with revenge.
I just want to point out one thing.
They're saying that most people are focusing on the vaccine.
concentrating on more immediate concerns.
The distribution of a third COVID vaccine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, we get it.
It's just the most bombastic language you could possibly imagine.
cassandra fairbanks
I just want to point out one thing.
They're saying that most people are focusing on the vaccine.
The White House had a press conference at the exact same time as Trump's speech about
a new vaccine, and literally nobody watched it.
Why would you?
Nobody watched it.
Everybody was watching Trump's speech.
They're so detached from reality.
Even people who hate Trump are addicted to him.
And so everyone, all eyes were on that.
tim pool
Someone pointed out there was a meme going around of the White House press briefing or whatever on COVID or something.
I don't even know what it was because I didn't know what was happening.
It didn't even break a million views.
And then Trump's speech had like 300,000... No, like 3.5 million views.
Yeah, in like an hour.
Trump had a million people watching at one time.
It was like 900,000 people were watching him give a speech.
Some ridiculous number.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
Dude.
So, so check this out.
Let me, let me, let me pull up the, uh, the unhanged.
It's just, I'm just going to read the headline.
Vox.com writes, the Republican revolt against democracy explained in 13 charts.
The Trump years revealed a dark truth.
The Republican party is no longer committed to democracy.
These charts tell the story.
You know, when we get media like CNN saying this crazy stuff, there's no effort at all to try and calm people down.
Calm down?
He's just speaking at a Republican convention.
He's just smack-talking.
It's political rhetoric.
Just chill out.
No, they're like, this is the end!
He is unleashing a new threat, and Republicans have abandoned democracy.
Do they want fighting and violence?
ian crossland
Yes.
It's good for ratings.
lydia smith
Great.
cassandra fairbanks
Their clicks have to be way down right now.
There's no boogeyman.
tim pool
CNN's ratings went down 40% the week after Joe Biden came in office.
cassandra fairbanks
Wow.
ian crossland
Geez.
tim pool
Yeah.
So they're bleeding money.
I guess Jim Acosta got replaced.
Jeff Zucker's planning on leaving.
CNN's...
So, yeah, they're definitely alike.
unidentified
We do.
ian crossland
All I keep thinking is this is the kind of stuff that I would like to see written about a president that authorized the bombing of Syria and blaming an Iraqi militia that may or may not have been or not.
Was it Iraqi Iranian militia?
Yeah.
tim pool
Like the New York Times is like Iranian backed militias.
And then in the article, we don't know if that's true.
ian crossland
You want to talk about a threat to democracy like that?
That should be what the focus of this vitriol is.
unidentified
But instead, it's it's Trump's bombing with diversity, though.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, then you can go to sleep.
It's like all these Democrats tweeting like, isn't it great having military action under Biden?
We can all rest easy.
Why?
What's the difference?
A bombing's a bombing.
cassandra fairbanks
This is what turned me off of the left originally.
I was protesting more under Bush.
I was a leftist until six years ago.
I protested like crazy during Bush.
And then under Obama, everybody disappeared except for like a few code pink people and stuff.
Everybody was like, went back to sleep, didn't care.
And I was watching and he was droning everyone.
And I was like, hey guys, are we still anti-war?
What's going on?
tim pool
You're not a racist, are you?
You wouldn't criticize Obama.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
I don't want to bomb little brown kids in foreign nations.
unidentified
There you go.
cassandra fairbanks
I'm a, I'm a monster.
tim pool
No, see that's colorism because Obama is actually more brown.
It's not racist when he bombs them because they have color, like they have, they have white privilege.
Colorism is a thing they've, they've started talking about.
unidentified
What is it?
tim pool
Like the lighter your skin, apparently you get like certain privileges, I guess.
So it's like, I guess the idea was that when they had, when they started talking about white privilege, the problem was that Asians typically have like higher incomes and education.
So they're like, well, I mean, Well, if you're closer to white, then you have privilege, too.
So that explains it.
It doesn't, but you know.
Let me pull up these charts, because this is crazy stuff.
Look at it.
So Vox.com first.
Today's Republicans really hate Democrats and democracy.
One, Trump supporters have embraced anti-democratic ideas.
This is not true, it's just false framing.
But let me show you what they say.
MAGA supporters who support Trump's election fraud claims, nearly 100% of Trump supporters support his claims on fraud.
Distrust the election results, same percentage, nearly 100%.
Believe voting shouldn't be easier?
About 90%.
Distrust 2020 congressional election results?
About 80%.
Want a third term for Trump?
Only about 70% want a third term for Trump.
But I'll tell you, not trusting the election system does not mean you oppose democracy or democratic ideas.
It means you think one thing was wrong.
cassandra fairbanks
Well, when I was on the left, we didn't trust the election results either.
I mean, they rigged it against Bernie.
I still believe that.
I never believed election results.
I remember even under Bush, I was like, there's no way this guy got a second term.
I don't trust this.
I've never, I've always thought elections were rigged.
And I always think of the Mark Twain quote where he's like, if voting actually mattered, they wouldn't let you do it.
tim pool
It would be illegal.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
I mean, I've always thought that.
tim pool
I love how... So when that Shadow campaign article came out from Time Magazine, I posted something like, you know, they said they started this campaign against... Not against anybody.
They started a campaign to fortify the election in fall of 2019.
And I'm like, so these high-profile Democrats started colluding, conspiring, as per Time Magazine's own words, In fall, during the Democratic primaries, and you do not realize that was like against Bernie too?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
The funny thing is I'll point that out and then I get a wave of these lefties on Twitter saying things like, you know, the far right is only pretending to support Bernie Sanders or whatever and I'm like, I'm supporting, I'm pointing out that you're getting ripped off.
cassandra fairbanks
Nobody voted for Bernie or for Biden and Kamala in the primaries.
tim pool
Yeah.
Well, at first, until the, you know, Buttigieg and whoever else all dropped out at the exact same time.
cassandra fairbanks
And the smear campaigns against Tulsi and Bernie.
And I mean, I didn't see any, like, Biden stickers anywhere.
I saw Bernie stuff everywhere.
I saw Tulsi stuff.
And they just went full force fortifying it, you know, for their chosen people.
tim pool
Check this out.
They say, number two, Republicans are embracing violence.
Now, this one's actually interesting.
They asked a question.
This is from American Perspective Survey, January 2021.
If elected leaders won't protect America, the people must act, even if that means violence.
39% of Republicans agree.
17% of Democrats agree.
The interesting thing is I bet if you were to add progressives to Democrats, because I doubt it's the same thing, you ask
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
like an anti-Far Black Lives Matter person, a Democrat, they're going to say no.
Screw the Democrats.
So they're not in this poll.
Probably, I'm just speculating, I bet it would be like 75%.
You add all those people and they're all going to say, of course.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Of course.
ian crossland
It's crazy, because Thomas Jefferson said the same thing.
I don't necessarily agree with it.
I don't think we need to take it there, but what was it, the blood of patriots?
unidentified
The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots.
tim pool
Brutal letter.
It's a lot longer than that, but he has this one line at the bottom where he says, what does he say, from time to time, the tree of liberty must be, what does he say, watered?
lydia smith
Uh-huh.
tim pool
The blood of patriots and tyrants.
lydia smith
It is its natural manure.
unidentified
Jeez.
tim pool
Yeah.
Dude was, he was a realist.
He was Antifa.
I just triggered a whole lot of people.
unidentified
I'm actually offended.
cassandra fairbanks
I love Thomas Jefferson.
unidentified
I do too.
cassandra fairbanks
I am offended.
tim pool
No, he's amazing.
I've got a collection of Thomas Jefferson coins and like a special little thing.
unidentified
He's a musician.
tim pool
No, Thomas Jefferson is not Antifa.
I was just joking.
Anti-government violence.
ian crossland
He was anti-fascist, I'm sure.
lydia smith
That's technically correct.
ian crossland
I don't know much about him.
tim pool
Yeah, but the problem is Antifa is a brand that has nothing to do with opposing fascism.
ian crossland
That's a good point.
tim pool
It's like communists complaining about fascists, but they're just as bad because they're only slightly different.
It's like two murderers and one guy's like, yeah, but I use a gun and he uses a rifle.
ian crossland
I'm interested about this poll that you talked about where 37% of Republicans, how many people did they poll?
Who are they polling?
tim pool
They didn't say.
cassandra fairbanks
The question was, America must be protected even with violence?
Is that what they said?
tim pool
If elected leaders won't protect America, the people must act, even if that means violence.
cassandra fairbanks
See, that question should be 100% of people agreeing.
If you're not going to protect America, then yeah, of course Americans... Well, you see how they're framing it, though?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
tim pool
If leaders won't protect America, what is that?
If China lands on the shores of San Diego, will you just say, oh, they're not doing anything, I might as well just go and run?
cassandra fairbanks
I don't think that means that they want to go do violence.
For political reasons.
Defensive.
That question is, would you protect America?
And everybody should say yes to that.
I think that they worded that a little bit.
tim pool
It's weird.
cassandra fairbanks
It's a gotcha.
tim pool
Yeah, a little bit.
Let me read what they write.
They say, the ultimate expression of anti-democratic politics is resorting to violence.
More than twice as many Republicans as Democrats, nearly two in five Republicans, said in a January poll that force could be justified against their opponents.
So I guess it's against their opponents?
It would be easy to dismiss this kind of finding as meaningless were it not for the January 6th attack on Capitol Hill.
I'm sorry, these people are so duplicitous.
We had a year of riots from Antifa.
We had 19 dead people plus peripheral, you know, I think it's another 12 or 13 in the periphery that were killed during these riots and stuff like that.
We had in the Chaz, the armed guards unloading for 10 minutes, hundreds of rounds into an SUV, killing two teenagers.
And they never talk about it because they are duplicitous, manipulative liars.
cassandra fairbanks
Antifa attacked a federal building two nights ago in Portland.
unidentified
Wow.
cassandra fairbanks
Shh!
Nobody talks about that.
unidentified
Yeah.
cassandra fairbanks
What happened?
They attacked, what was it, the U.S.
Customs building, I believe?
They started vandalizing it, spray-painting it.
People in Portland, actually, were going out in the streets and yelling at them.
It was pretty interesting.
tim pool
Really?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
But nobody talked about it.
That was an attack on a federal building.
tim pool
That's horrific.
cassandra fairbanks
But it happened at night, so it's not... That's right!
lydia smith
I forgot about that, yeah.
tim pool
Undercover violence.
You know, I think Portland... I totally support Antifa in Portland.
Yeah, 100%.
You know why?
lydia smith
They deserve it.
tim pool
Well, they voted for it.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, but here's the problem.
Those people are going to destroy that city, they're going to get scared because it's going to get violent, it's going to get unsafe, and then they're going to flee to the red areas that are safe, and then they're going to vote for the same crap that got them into that mess.
So they're fleeing to Texas, they're going to destroy Texas.
The problem is that once they destroy it, they're going to come and destroy our places too.
If they had just stayed there and we had a big wall around it and we were like, do your thing, I'd be like, okay, cool.
Wipe each other out of here.
But that's not what's going to happen.
They're going to flee and they're going to flee to red areas because they're safe.
And then they're going to vote for the same policies that got them into the mess in Portland.
ian crossland
And you're saying they voted for the governor that is willing to tolerate the street violence?
cassandra fairbanks
Well, all of their officials.
Their local officials.
lydia smith
City council members.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yeah, jeez, those people are crazy.
cassandra fairbanks
And then you see them fleeing to Texas and, you know, they're all fleeing to red areas because those are the safe ones.
And it's like, are you guys thinking about why those are the safe areas?
lydia smith
They never do.
tim pool
Ooh, is it guns?
cassandra fairbanks
It might be guns.
tim pool
It might be guns.
lydia smith
Might be.
tim pool
Yeah, there's a ton of videos from when Antifa tried going into like some red areas and they just got stomped.
cassandra fairbanks
An armed society is a polite society.
unidentified
That's correct.
ian crossland
I think they're saying in L.A.
they wouldn't go down onto Crenshaw Boulevard.
tim pool
Oh, they know where they can't go.
Where the people have guns.
That's really it.
So even if it's in a city that banned guns, they won't go anywhere near that stuff.
Yeah.
But the way I see it with Portland is all of these people voted for it, and now I'm supposed to feel bad for them?
I hear what you're saying.
We'll have to be prepared for that when they start, you know, trying to come in.
And there was a funny thing.
I was at a gun shop, and this guy was telling me, he's like, oh yeah, all the liberals are starting to move into the red area, as we can tell, because they'll be complaining about, like, my neighbor's trash or something, or like, the neighbor, you know, put something on their lawn, and we all look at him like, So?
cassandra fairbanks
My local Facebook group, there's a thread with like hundreds of people involved and they're all like, we need to start telling people from Massachusetts and New York and D.C.
how bad it is here and how we have monsters and our frogs bite and we play banjo all night.
It was really funny and everybody was just like, you know, we normally would want people to move here.
We want to be inclusive.
We're nice people, but they're going to ruin our community.
lydia smith
Yeah.
So let's keep them out.
ian crossland
What if you couldn't vote in an area that you moved to for like three years or something?
cassandra fairbanks
I say this all the time on Twitter and people attack me and say that I'm anti-democracy.
But I honestly believe that you shouldn't be able to run for office, especially if you haven't lived somewhere for a while.
And I think that you should have less say in local politics if you just moved in.
tim pool
I agree.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, absolutely.
cassandra fairbanks
I think that people who have established roots should have a little bit more say on local politics.
tim pool
Think about Mitt Romney bouncing around the country because he's rich.
He owns property in a bunch of different places.
And then he's like, I'm going to run for office for the Senate in Utah.
Just because I'll sign a piece of paper saying I live here now.
cassandra fairbanks
It goes even in local politics.
You have people who don't even live in the community running for the school board and stuff.
We have people running school boards in red areas that are from blue areas and have completely different politics in the local community.
And it's not, not right.
tim pool
The problem with the system is that the changes you need to secure the system take longer than the exploits to destroy them.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
So you'll get someone from a blue area thinking, I'm going to go and teach all these redneck kids how to be, you know, anti-racist.
And the parents don't realize these people are coming in.
cassandra fairbanks
Right.
tim pool
And then by the time they're like, we got to change this.
Like, congratulations.
In five years, you might actually change the system.
And by then your kids are going to be 17 and they're going to be totally indoctrinated with this stuff.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
There you go.
So here's another interesting one from the Vox article.
They say, Republicans see Democrats as something worse than mere rivals.
Republicans who consider Democrats as enemies, 57%.
Political opposition, 43%.
And Democrats who consider Republicans as enemies is 41%.
And political opposition, 59%.
I don't believe it.
No, I don't believe they do.
That flies in the face of the Echelon Insights.
It's a company.
They asked Democrats how concerned they are with various things.
The most threatening thing to the Democrats was Trump supporters.
The second biggest concern, I should say biggest concern, Yeah.
white nationalism, white supremacy, blah, blah, blah.
For the Republicans, it was like illegal immigration and taxation.
So for them to come out with this poll, I question the way they're phrasing these questions.
Like the other one, protecting America.
Would you protect America with violence?
I'm surprised every Republican didn't say of course.
cassandra fairbanks
I'm surprised Democrats didn't say yes too.
I mean, you should protect you.
tim pool
I'm not.
cassandra fairbanks
You have to protect your home.
tim pool
I'm not surprised.
cassandra fairbanks
And they're not saying, like, protect it from other Americans.
The question is just, would you protect your home?
Of course you would protect your home.
But it's that question's insane to me.
ian crossland
Right.
It's like they're they're assuming that the threat to America, that the government's not stopping is like a vote, a voter fraud case or something.
And like that they think it's small.
But if you're talking about actual invasion and a presidential ineptitude, then the answer is yes, 100% of the time.
Or your country's taken over.
cassandra fairbanks
Which is in our constitution.
That's an American value.
tim pool
Look, if we remain on this path, with this being the ideology, that if you say something like that, you're considered far right or bad, well then this country's going to fall apart.
That's it.
It's over.
ian crossland
Violence is a weird conversation, you know, especially, no, just in general.
I mean, you do it, of course, online, of course, in public, because you got to be careful about how you phrase violence and frame violence and talking about violence.
But, like, it was the crux of our country's formation.
We had to violently overthrow our political rivals, the British monarch.
tim pool
Over, like, 20 years.
It wasn't, people don't realize this, that it took, like, 20 years.
lydia smith
Slow moving, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, there were a bunch of things that happened like the, what was it, the Boston Massacres?
Am I thinking of the right one?
Yeah.
That wasn't, like, these things happened years apart from each other.
So we view this history as entirely condensed because it's like the key talking points.
But imagine, like, when we look back on history in 100 years or 50 years, they're going to mention everything that happened in the past four years in rapid succession.
And people will think it, like, happened one after another when it was, like, The battle for Berkeley happened, what was that now, two and a half years ago or something?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, that was a while ago.
cassandra fairbanks
At least two and a half years ago.
tim pool
Yeah, I think it was like March of 20... No, it was almost... Wasn't it?
It was like March or April of 2018.
Was it 2017?
I don't remember.
cassandra fairbanks
It might have been 2017.
tim pool
No, no.
Oh, yeah.
cassandra fairbanks
I think it was 2017.
tim pool
It was a long time ago.
cassandra fairbanks
It might have been, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, because after I got back from Sweden.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
ian crossland
What was that?
tim pool
uh is when this huge battle happened between antifa and like right-wing groups in in berkeley and we saw the based stick man he's like finally 2017 wow man so this was the uh the rise of the based stick man they called him And it was like, all these conservatives were getting just absolutely clobbered for a year or two without fighting back.
And then one day, they do this rally, everybody gets beat up.
And then I think it was the second time, this dude shows up with goggles, a mask, a helmet, a shield, and a giant stick.
I think it was a closet dowel, you know, like for hanging your clothes.
And he cracked it over this antifa.
It was a woman, wasn't it?
cassandra fairbanks
I'm not sure.
tim pool
He cracked it, and it shattered over someone's head, and they're like, ugh!
But it's like, I watched this stuff go on for years.
In San Jose, I watched that guy get smacked in the back of the head with some kind of bag.
I said it was a bag of rocks.
And he's just a regular guy.
He was walking down the street and he was like, yeah, Trump.
cassandra fairbanks
And then, what just happened?
ian crossland
God is speaking to us through the internet.
tim pool
No, some site just auto-loaded.
Anyway, so I saw this guy, he's got a sign and he's yelling, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Some dude runs up behind him and has a bag and whacks him with it.
And then he's sitting there covered in blood, like confused as to what happened.
That was, I think, I think that was in 2015.
I'm not sure.
It might've been 2016.
cassandra fairbanks
I'm not sure.
tim pool
It's all been a while.
I can't believe how long it's been.
Yeah, and so far so so we see the battle for Berkeley It's like finally some right right-wing individual started
saying enough and fighting back And then all of a sudden I remember I was there and I saw
proud boys there like three proud boys And I was like what are the proud boys doing here? What is
this? Who are these guys like? Why are they here?
Why are they fighting and get like they're getting arrested now? What's going on?
That was when things started to really really heat up That was years ago.
So it's crazy, isn't it?
Imagine, like, 50 years, there'll be, like, the Second American Civil War, and then there'll be, like, in 2017, the fight broke out in Berkeley, California.
In 2020, Donald Trump did this, and you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that was three years later.
Isn't that crazy?
That's the other thing, too, that's kind of driving me crazy.
It's like, how long is it going to keep going on for?
It's getting boring.
lydia smith
I don't know.
ian crossland
It seems like it started with the housing crisis.
I'm trying to just be more, like, observant from the outside.
It seems like it started with the housing crisis is when it really started to get crazy.
And then the drone strikes and everything.
Like, obviously, September 11th was when everyone went on high alert.
Patriot Act.
Everyone was thinking terrorists are all around me.
Oh, my gosh.
And that kind of heightened the fear.
But the housing crisis probably angered a lot of people and then Obama bailed out those
those mega corps.
lydia smith
Inequality.
tim pool
Occupy Wall Street. And then at Occupy Wall Street you had this bipartisan rage at the system and
then all of a sudden the leftists came in with critical race theory and woke activism and then
it just made the conservatives leave. And then honestly you also had people like Hannity fanning
Like, his whole thing was ragging on the left.
This was the most annoying thing to me about Occupy Wall Street, was that I knew a dude who went on Hannity's show, and Hannity started just criticizing and ripping, you know, going after him, and he just argued back and they fought, and I'm like, Why would you do that?
Why wouldn't you be like, Sean, you are correct.
The people who are doing awful things down there are bad.
What do we do?
We don't want them here.
This is a bad thing for us.
We want to fight against the big banks that are ripping people off and the bailouts and all that system.
What would you advise us on?
Instead, it was adversarial, like, you're our enemy and we don't like you because you're Fox News.
I don't know this name.
a big component of it like there's another guy who got a ton of attention because he
was interviewed by Griff Jenkins of Fox News.
That's his name, right?
Griff Jenkins?
lydia smith
I don't know him.
tim pool
I don't know this name.
Am I getting Griff's name wrong?
Anyway, and uh...
cassandra fairbanks
I don't watch Fox, I live in Tucker.
tim pool
They didn't use the interview and so someone else recorded the interview.
I think it was from The Village Voice.
I'm not sure.
And it went viral, because he was like, Fox News only does this, that, and this, and you won't tell what the people are actually doing.
And it was kind of true.
And then all that really created out of it was like mutual combat between tribes, whereas it was originally A populist uprising with conservatives, libertarians, Ron Paul types, leftists.
Within a week, it devolved completely into leftist critical race theory.
And then it just fell apart.
cassandra fairbanks
That was kind of the cool thing about Game Stonks is it was the right and the left.
Nobody was talking about politics.
And it was a nice moment.
Everybody's like, let's just screw over these hedge funds.
lydia smith
Yeah, I could I could totally see that.
And I could see the reflection of Occupy Wall Street in that because people were like together, like they really want to stick it to the man.
cassandra fairbanks
If Occupy had done this, it would have been way better.
lydia smith
But it's hard to keep together.
ian crossland
Have you been following that story?
Like, does it look like that's going to continue?
cassandra fairbanks
Well, GameStop stock has gone way up again.
I think it was at like 113 again yesterday.
tim pool
It's at 120 right now.
cassandra fairbanks
So I had held on to mine, my diamond hand, and I was like way down.
And then I noticed it was going back up the other day, and I was like, yes, all right.
lydia smith
I saw you talking about it being down.
unidentified
120.
lydia smith
That's great.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, so they're still fighting.
tim pool
But I mean, so for those who don't know the story, it's like the hedge funds were shorting GameStop.
Everybody bought in to basically strip a ton of money from these hedge funds who would be forced to buy ridiculous amounts.
But are they still?
Like it's been like a month now.
cassandra fairbanks
I mean, I haven't really been following it still, but I do have GameStop stocks, so I've been following it a little bit.
The guy who originally had bought into the GameStop Stocks, which I can't say if my life depended on it.
I just call it game stonks because it's easier now.
ian crossland
That's awesome.
cassandra fairbanks
But, uh, the guy who had originally bought in, I guess he bought more like a week ago.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
He doubled his position.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
The deep effing value or the kitty guy or whatever.
tim pool
Roaring kitty.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
And so, um, other people, I guess, started buying in and it went back up.
It went up to like 150 at one point.
And then I think, yeah, I think, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
The peak.
Well, hold on.
This is what today to date was one 30.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
unidentified
Dang.
ian crossland
If we're going to seize control, it's going to be through the economy, not through the politics.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
I've been buying all kinds of stock now.
I had never bought stock, never paid attention to the stock market.
And then I was like, I support this.
I am jumping in.
I'm buying some game stonks.
And so now all of a sudden I own like a million different kinds and I'm all into it.
It's great.
ian crossland
What do you use to get your stock?
cassandra fairbanks
Um, well, I was using Robin Hood, but then they kept limiting.
And so right now I'm using a few different apps, but I admittedly still have Robin Hood because it's easy, but I don't recommend them.
I am not a fan.
Um, but yeah, I've been buying like Six Flags and Disney.
lydia smith
The 52 week high is 483 for GameStop.
tim pool
Yeah, the 52 week high is 483 for GameStop.
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
Whoa.
tim pool
Someone bought in when it was at $18 in January and they sold out when it hit 400.
Millionaires overnight.
I think the economy is going to collapse, to be completely honest.
Because right now, you have a meme economy.
We don't have a communist command economy.
We don't have a socialist economy.
It's barely a mixed economy at this point because of the meme-ism.
It's not laissez-faire capitalism.
Technically, I guess you can call it that.
It's a meme economy.
Where people make money from getting attention on Twitter.
They post something really dumb, they make something out of context, they'll insult somebody.
Try and get that meme to go viral and then attach to it, PayPal me.
But then you have Dogecoin, literally, just people throwing money into a meme.
Some people buy it, they sell it, they made a ton of money.
And then with GameStop, People are buying this stock like crazy for what reason?
It's a meme.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
It's a meme stock.
And the crazy thing is like, people are becoming millionaires overnight.
It was at like 40 bucks.
It fell down from, you know, 400 or whatever.
And then someone was like, you know, you have to keep buying in.
And then the dude, the dude, one of the shareholders of GameStop posted an image of a ice cream cone from McDonald's.
And then everyone went nuts speculating it's what the ice cream cone meant.
And then they all started buying up more stock like crazy, rallying the price back up.
Wow.
What is going on?
Yes.
Someone, someone became a millionaire.
Hypothetically, I'm assuming it happened.
cassandra fairbanks
I think there were a few.
tim pool
But I mean, like, imagine this.
You're sitting there with like your eyes half closed, just glazed over and you're like, you know, just put in a, you know, a hundred thousand dollars into GameStop and then enter.
And then all of a sudden you hear a ding and you look and it's an ice cream cone on the screen.
You go, Oh, and then you'll get your account.
It's like a million dollars.
Like all because some guy posted an ice cream cone.
ian crossland
It's crazy.
The Elon Musk Dogecoin meme where he was holding up, what was it, Kanye?
He was holding up someone else.
lydia smith
Gene Simmons.
Yeah, something like that.
tim pool
So I can't imagine an economy can function that way.
Like if you think about how the economy actually works with like, we talked about this before.
I can't remember who we had on the show.
We were talking about this.
I mentioned, how does banking work?
Like when you spend money from one bank to another, They don't physically give money to anybody.
And then someone commented, it's just a ledger.
Like, literally, they just write down, he had 500, now he has zero, and the other guy says zero, and then 500, and that's just it.
Literally, they type in a number on a computer, press enter, and then the money's there.
So you think about how absurd that is.
They can easily just type on a keyboard, press enter, and then boom, make trillions of dollars.
That's bad enough, the Federal Reserve and all that stuff.
Add in all the money they're printing over COVID.
Add in the petrodollar and just the general market instability with conflict, let alone the COVID crisis.
And then add in, the system is supposed to be, if you do work that provides value to the system, you get value back to buy things and, you know, do stuff.
Now people just get money from nonsense.
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
Like I mentioned, I think the craziest thing is that people go on Twitter and they'll say like, Ian is super lame.
Enter.
And then they'll wait for some retweets and then add to it.
Dude, if you really like me ragging on Ian, then PayPal me and I'll make fun of him more.
And there are literally accounts dedicated to just making fun of people.
lydia smith
So stupid.
tim pool
Imagine getting rich from that.
ian crossland
I guess entertainment's interesting with mass media, the ability to like make a video and then it go viral and you can make a million dollars in ad revenues.
Relatively new.
I mean, back in the day, 600 years ago, if you were a musician, you'd basically work for your dinner.
You'd travel around, and hopefully someone would pay you to stay at their inn for the night, and that was your life.
But then mass media allowed you to become rich as an entertainer.
tim pool
Replicating that music, and then selling one record a million times.
Now all of a sudden, instead of performing one time, you perform a million times at once, and you're rich.
ian crossland
Now that's what this tweet, this tweet PayPal stuff is too.
You know, a million people see that one tweet.
tim pool
I just figured it out.
I'm going to start an organization that issues golden Twitter birds or like gold, platinum.
And what, what, what is it?
Silver, silver.
There's no silver records.
lydia smith
Gold.
ian crossland
Platinum?
tim pool
No, like a gold record or a platinum double.
A double platinum Twitter.
So when your tweet goes extra viral and then you'll get a little platinum bird and everyone can know that's what you're famous for.
Could you imagine?
The future is depressing.
ian crossland
Well, in addition to all the things you're saying about the people being able just to type ledgers, you know, the petrodollar, the inflation, the M1 money supply, there's crypto, which is now also completely disrupting the global monetary system.
And I mean, I don't know, are you deep in crypto right now?
cassandra fairbanks
Um, not really.
I have some Bitcoin, I have some Doge, but I'm not super.
tim pool
Some Doge?
ian crossland
I'm starting to get a scary feeling that the people in control, if there's any such thing, are just going to crash the whole thing and then become super rich on the crypto that they bought.
tim pool
I mean, that's kind of how it's always gone to an extent.
But I wonder if you know when it comes to crypto trading you've got people who are making money day trading
cryptocurrencies because they're not stable Becoming rich off of just like it's it's kind of busted.
ian crossland
Yeah, you know, then they'll build an AI that does it for them
tim pool
Yeah, they do.
They already have that.
There have been programs for a long time where you can just... This is crazy.
There was a program.
I can't remember what it was.
But you'd tell it, make me money.
And then it would be like, okay.
And it just, like, would start trading crypto.
It was something having to do with... We talked about this before where, like, some crypto was worth one satoshi, the lowest position of a... The lowest decimal point for a bitcoin.
So it could literally only double in value.
It was worth one.
It could be worth two.
That's it.
It doesn't get any smaller than that.
So you buy a thousand and then as soon as it hits two, you sell them all and you doubled your money.
And so there's programs that would just find out of the, you know, hundreds of garbage coins and just buy all of the ones that are sitting at one.
And then as soon as they jumped, it would sell.
unidentified
Boom.
tim pool
And then it would wait for it to go back down and then buy again.
It's just somebody's losing money on that.
ian crossland
Did you know how much money these women make on OnlyFans?
tim pool
Well, somebody's buying it too, but then maybe they sell it three.
Did you know, you know how much money these women make on OnlyFans?
ian crossland
No, how much?
tim pool
There was one woman who posted over $100,000 per month.
Yeah, OnlyFans.
And it was like, there's a thread, I tweeted about it.
One woman said something like, why would you use OnlyFans?
Like, when I'm there at the club, the dude hands me the money, and then I've got it right there.
I'm not gonna pay a fee to some app.
And then some woman posted something like, this monthly income, and y'all thinking I'm going back to the club.
And it showed the breakdown of all the revenue, and it was like $108,000 in one month.
$108,000 in one month and she paid like a $20,000 premium to OnlyFans
So now now Twitter's announcing they're gonna do super subscribers. Oh
ian crossland
Oh, how's that work?
cassandra fairbanks
I'm gonna put all my offensive tweets behind a paywall so the liberal journalists who come after me have to pay me.
tim pool
Dude, definitely!
I'm going to put most of my stuff behind the paywall because, one, the trolls.
But then, yeah, when I say things that piss people off, it's like, well, you got to pay to get pissed off.
It's going to be really interesting how the super... it might actually fix Twitter.
It might.
Because now these people, what they like to do is they like to go to my or Cassandra's Twitter feed or just any other high profile person.
Screengrab it and then instead of quote tweeting it, screengrab it so they can rag on you and generate hate.
And then what they'll do is they'll take like a screenshot of a tweet from Cassandra.
Then they'll tweet, imagine being this dumb.
What a far-right loony.
And then all of these leftists will be like, haha, so dumb, so dumb.
And then the original person will add, don't forget to PayPal me or subscribe to my Patreon and try and monetize it.
Well, there's two possibilities.
Or not necessarily two possibilities, but there's two things that are going to happen.
People like that are, not necessarily, but may paywall that content.
Because you'll want to see what crazy Cassandra said.
You know, like, can you believe she said this?
And then it says pay $5 to see this image.
And it's Cassandra's tweet.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Isn't that crazy?
Yep.
So maybe though, if Cassandra puts the tweets behind a paywall, they're not going to get it because they're not going to pay for it.
So if the troll won't pay the five bucks for the post, they don't got a post to share.
cassandra fairbanks
That's a real troll toll.
tim pool
I love it.
cassandra fairbanks
I'm into it.
tim pool
Yeah.
If you want to get into this boy's soul, you got to pay the troll toll.
Do you guys know that reference?
unidentified
No.
What is that?
tim pool
It's from It's Always Sunny.
They were doing the play.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Charlie wrote.
Oh my gosh.
Danny DeVito was supposed to say Boy's Soul, but he kept saying Boy's Hole.
Boy's Hole.
If you want to get into this Boy's Hole, you got to pay the troll toll.
He's like, no, what?
Boy's soul!
That's what I said!
lydia smith
I gotta watch that show again.
tim pool
That's a really old episode.
Amazing.
lydia smith
Love it.
tim pool
Let's talk about the latest social justice outrage, though.
Oh my gosh.
My friends, I give you the Wimmickson controversy, one of the greatest scandals of this or any generation.
And I imagine many of you are just going to turn the podcast off.
You're like, this is stupid.
I don't care.
No, no, hold on.
unidentified
Hold on.
tim pool
Don't leave just yet.
Twitch, which is a streaming service many of you are probably familiar with.
It's owned by Amazon.
It is ultra woke, right?
Do you know who Destiny is, Cassandra?
cassandra fairbanks
Vaguely.
tim pool
He's like a leftist streamer.
He streamed on Twitch.
He was a partner.
And he said, Kyle Rittenhouse was clearly self-defense.
And he's a leftist.
And we had him on the show and he was like, it is the clearest case of self-defense.
He's being chased, you know?
And then someone shoots.
They kicked him off the partner program for saying it.
cassandra fairbanks
Wow.
tim pool
That's how lefty Twitch is.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So Twitch puts out this tweet.
March is Wimxn's history month.
I'm not kidding.
W-O-M-X-N.
Wimxn.
Join us in celebrating and supporting all the Wimxn creating their own worlds, building their communities, and leading the way on Twitch.
And then the word Wimxn started trending.
And I was actually surprised to find it was actually the woke left that was upset over this.
And there's a weird unity forming between, like, the anti-woke and the woke on this issue.
I gotta show you this tweet from Count Dankula.
He says, imagine being trans and fighting your whole life to be considered a full woman, and they instead change it to Wimmickson to point out that you are still trans LMAO.
That's a good point.
He then said, leftists, stop retweeting this calling me based or calling it a redemption arc when it's an opinion I've held for years.
Dankula then says, stop acting like I like trans people.
I only like trans people when I'm horny.
Dankula is clearly joking.
I want to stress.
The point is, People are acting like Dankula is saying something new, like defending trans people, but he's actually defended them quite a bit in the past.
And he's pointing out this new word, Wimixin, which is like going viral.
Twitter Daily Caller is an article.
Okay, we'll read the Daily Caller.
Twitch gets dragged for declaring March Wimixin's History Month.
Oh, they're not gonna let me read it?
lydia smith
No, they will, yeah.
tim pool
Oh, okay.
Wimixin.
So this, this is a funny thing that happened a while ago, where some like British organization said, you know, Wemixin's rights or something.
And then it created this huge fight between the left and the left, because the left hates the left, I guess, where they were like, the word Wemixin is exclusive.
It removes trans women, because if trans women are women, you only need to say women, right?
cassandra fairbanks
That was my first reaction when I saw the video.
I was like, how is the left doing this?
Isn't the whole point to not other these people?
Like, now they're completely othering them.
I saw it, and I was just like, if I was a trans person, I feel like I'd be offended by this.
And then they actually were, so at least good on them for getting this.
tim pool
So someone emailed me.
They said that the X means trans, and so that's why they do Falks with an X, and they do Wimmicks in, because they're adding an X to everything.
lydia smith
Yeah, I think I heard that.
tim pool
That's what someone said.
I guess it kind of makes sense.
lydia smith
And that's like cross crossing over.
I guess.
ian crossland
What about trans men?
Are they mixing?
MXN?
Has that been a thing yet?
tim pool
I don't know.
ian crossland
It's coming.
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
tim pool
He just did it.
unidentified
There you go.
Congratulations.
tim pool
Ian, you're a bigot.
ian crossland
I have mixed feelings about trans the whole thing because I support people.
I love people.
I want people to be happy.
But when especially in sports, like when you see a trans woman who was a man that transitioned into a woman, A male who transits into a woman.
Yeah, just dominate other women in a sport.
It's disturbing.
To me personally, I get disturbed because they're much taller.
A lot of times their bone mass is larger.
You'll see like these pictures of like this large trans woman just like muscling out these smaller women.
So people have said maybe we should have a trans sports and non-trans sports.
lydia smith
I think that's smart.
tim pool
Well then, that's the same problem of Wemixin, is you're creating a new category to separate people out.
This is an impossible conversation.
You know, it's like, no matter what side you take, the left gets mad at you.
No matter what!
Like, there was one prominent trans woman creator who got cancelled for claiming there were only two genders, and then it resulted in this huge Gen Z vs. Millennial fight over what it means to be trans, because I think, as you can clearly see with, like, Twitch's Wemixin, it's not the first time they used this word.
Like, some corporations use this word.
Everybody gets mad.
There was a really funny Venn diagram I saw earlier.
It's a meme.
And it's got, like, conservatives, liberals, and leftists.
And then it says, like, conservatives and leftists like guns.
But, you know, liberals and conservatives like capitalism.
And then liberals and leftists hate Trump.
And then for leftists, and the one thing that all of them were united by, was when they all overlapped, it said, hates leftists.
So like even the leftists hate leftists?
They do!
They absolutely do.
So why would you want to be in that space?
I have no idea.
ian crossland
That's a rough one.
It's almost like a self-hatred.
I don't know where it comes from exactly.
tim pool
Well, because I think there's conservatives and liberals who are tribal and don't like each other.
But I think leftists tend to be, not always.
I'll differentiate the progressives from the tribal leftists.
There are a lot of progressives who are great.
People like Kalkulinski and Crystal Ball are good people.
And then you have these weird leftists who will just say whatever it is to oppose anyone who's not a leftist.
So they end up supporting really weird nonsensical things like 25,000 armed National Guard in DC with razor wire fences.
Why would an anti-fascist support this?
Because they're not really...
But they do hate themselves.
That's why Obama called it a circular firing squad.
The transports thing is a difficult conversation, I suppose.
Mostly because, I'll tell you this, I just recently had a conversation with someone.
And like, I'm actually not in agreement with most of the conservatives on this stuff.
Like when it comes to pronouns and things like that.
I tend to lean left a lot of this stuff.
But I was talking to someone and I said, with the Equality Act, which you guys know the Equality Act passed in the House.
So it's where they're going to add gender identity to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
So my question was, how do you protect biological sex as a protected class and gender identity at the same time?
cassandra fairbanks
You can't.
tim pool
But why do you think so?
cassandra fairbanks
Because you're taking away women's spaces.
tim pool
Female spaces.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, and it's just, I personally don't see how it can coexist at all, especially with sports.
Sports is like the big thing where it's really noticeable that these things collide.
How are you going to protect little girls who want to get scholarships and these things that they've worked on their whole life when, you know, they're never going to win against people who are bigger than them, have more testosterone than them?
tim pool
I just there there was a there is an interesting point someone brought up when I was when I was
arguing with someone about this I just say arguing having a conversation because I wasn't really
arguing with anybody they said what about somebody who's never gone through male puberty
and they're they've always been either on puberty blockers or on estrogen so they're
cassandra fairbanks
I mean I fully oppose putting on children on puberty blockers I mean, like hardcore fully oppose this, but I guess in that case it might be a little bit different.
I know that they're doing testosterone tests for, uh, at least professional sports.
So stuff like that helps, but you see, like, I think it was this like mediocre male runner beat the fastest woman in the world.
And it's just like, how are high school girls supposed to compete now?
tim pool
I had a really interesting conversation when I posted on... I have a bunch of lefty friends, and I posted on their Facebook, how do you protect biological sex and gender identity at the same time?
And what I said was, imagine this.
And I used the showers example as... It's the easiest example, to be completely honest.
It is an easy argument, because showers are fairly visceral.
Like, we want privacy in our showers.
So there's basically a court precedent that says, you are allowed to discriminate so long as an equal space is provided for the other sex.
So when there was a lawsuit in California at some university over women's programs, the judge ruled, no, they're allowed women's programs, women's scholarships, because they have identical men's scholarships.
That's a really interesting court precedent.
Because that would, you'd be able to be like, okay, what about segregation?
cassandra fairbanks
Well, this week there was another court case.
Miss USA just won.
They were sued by a trans woman who does beauty pageants because they refused to accept anyone who wasn't a biological woman.
And they just won.
And the court said that it was because of freedom of association.
And then the lawyers for Miss USA came out and they were like, you can have a trans beauty pageant or, you know, whatever you want to do, but this is for biological women.
And we created a space to showcase biological women.
Yeah.
And so, you know, there is another court case now that's also sitting in precedent, I guess.
tim pool
That one?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, so here was the point I was making.
If you say that it is unfair for biological women to be in the men's space because men are biologically different.
The army just did a new training program because men and women are different.
If you say that, you know, then you've got a Title IX violation.
I guess what originally happened was there was no women's sports, and then a bunch of women sued, saying there should be a women's only division because it's not fair.
So then we got women's sports.
So now they're saying, okay, it's not discriminatory because there's a men's division and a women's division.
There were a bunch of sports back in the 50s where they would not let women run.
There was like a marathon and women weren't allowed to be in it.
Today, there is no rule in major league sports barring women from competing.
And so I'm talking, it's really interesting, so let me wrap up the first point and we'll get into this one.
I was saying, if you have two, a female and a male locker room, showers, and then you decide that somebody who's biologically male can now use the female side because of an identity, you've essentially taken away a safe space for one marginalized community for another marginalized community because you believe one community is more marginalized than the other, but you can't quantify that.
There's no, There's no number where you can be like, it's a seven on the impression scale and a six on the oppression scale.
So you're basically just saying the law says, based on sex and identity, but then you quite literally have people arguing about which one is more oppressed and more deserving of that space or not deserving of that space.
So in the end, what ends up happening is, I talked about this a long time ago.
I got a lot of heat for it.
You don't end up with A male men's locker room, a woman's locker room, and trans people using whichever one they want.
In the UK, what ended up happening was they just started building unisex showers.
And then, due to general proximity having nothing to do with trans people, mind you, biological males started assaulting biological females.
It wasn't like they just started doing it.
It was because proximity breeds opportunity, I suppose.
And there was a study that came out, I think it was in the Telegraph, or I think it was the Sunday Times, I'm not sure, British paper, saying they saw a huge spike in men, males, assaulting females, because now these showers and changing rooms were in the same place, and skeezy, awful dudes had an opportunity now to do it.
And so they did.
So the question then is, how do you protect both at the same time if they're both in it, in the Civil Rights Act?
I don't know.
Some people have pointed out that we'll just have a functioning society where people know what the social rules are.
You know, like we don't violate social norms, so people will just get along.
But a really funny thing happened.
I pointed out that showers are an easy example, but what about the WNBA, right?
If you can't discriminate on the basis of sex or identity, couldn't someone go to the WNBA and say, I should be allowed as a biological male to compete in this?
And then the response was, how come you already can't discriminate on the basis of sex, so how come no one has done that?
That's a good point.
No guy has actually, apparently, I mean, maybe I'm not, maybe this is wrong, tried to get in.
There was a guy who sued Hooters because they wouldn't hire him, and then a court ruled, give him the job.
And then he was like, no, I don't want the job.
Something interesting happened.
I pointed out that major league sports don't actually discriminate on the basis of sex.
NBA, NFL, MLB, women are allowed to play.
lydia smith
They never have.
tim pool
There's no rule.
There's no rule.
And so I was told repeatedly by these lefties, that's not true.
They won't allow women to play.
And I said, that's incorrect.
And I sent them an article from ESPN.
Well, has a woman ever won something like the Boston Marathon?
numerous quotes from high profile coaches and scouts saying, women just don't make the
cut. And so the response I got from the leftist was, I don't understand, how is that possible?
Maybe a social stigma is making the women not play as well?
cassandra fairbanks
Well, has a woman ever won something like the Boston Marathon?
Because that's not gender segregated.
tim pool
Maybe for, probably for women's.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, I don't think that anyone, I can't think of a woman though, who's won the entire, like
who's actually been first through the finish.
lydia smith
Yeah, I don't think so.
ian crossland
Men are like 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
I think... Just blow women out of the water, relative time-wise.
tim pool
No, it's like 45 minutes or something.
Oh, I'm talking about a mile, yeah.
I want to stress this point.
The person arguing with me said, when I told them women are not barred from major league sports, he's like, then why aren't they on the teams?
And then I very simply said, well, uh, exposure to prenatal testosterone results in more fast switch muscles, which mean men have the ability to use burst energy, like jump higher, sprint faster, and burn off energy much more quickly.
They tend to have denser bones, double the collagen.
They tend to be taller.
These are all tendencies, not absolutes.
And then he said, the response was, could there be a social stigma preventing the women from actually scoring better?
And I was like, is that, that's what they think.
ian crossland
There could be that if a woman goes in the locker room and gets raped, that could be a disturbing thing because they only have one locker room.
So I could see that women maybe wouldn't want to put themselves in that position.
But they're also taking the most extreme freaks of nature to play in the sport and those tend to be men, if not women.
Always, you know, the strongest of the strong of the humans are male.
I don't know if that's always true.
tim pool
It's the highest top 0.01% of people who are playing in any of these sports.
ian crossland
And they're like always male.
I mean, for the most part, aren't they?
tim pool
So the point I'm bringing up is this leftist genuinely believes that if you took the average biological female and biological male, there is nothing stopping them from competing equally.
And that's, to me, it shows how culty it's become.
Like, absolutely, we should have laws protecting marginalized groups and all that stuff.
We should have equal access to civil rights.
People should be respected and allowed to live freely.
But come on.
ian crossland
If you're talking about averages, yeah, I could see that.
But we're talking about extremes.
For professional sports, you want the extremes of human nature.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
The point is, this person genuinely believed the average male and female would compete on equal footing in physical activities.
lydia smith
Do you know why that is?
I think I know why it is.
Blank slate theory?
Yes, exactly!
It is the blank slate theory.
It's something that Jean-Jacques Rousseau talked about.
And he talked about how humans start out being basically completely equal and are completely shaped by the culture they grow up in.
We know this is not true!
Like, we can literally look at the physical differences between males and females.
You can look at the pelvis size and shape and, you know, the angle of the female pelvis is completely different.
Like, there's no comparison.
I don't know.
tim pool
I don't know.
We have two women and two men in here, and they're completely identical in every way.
ian crossland
You gotta play some badminton.
lydia smith
Yeah, we are.
cassandra fairbanks
Exactly the same.
tim pool
You both have long hair?
ian crossland
I think Cassandra could kick further than me.
cassandra fairbanks
I'm pretty sure you'd both beat me at arm wrestling.
lydia smith
Yeah, for sure, I'd be toast.
ian crossland
Who's taller?
lydia smith
Who's taller?
I think we're all about the same height.
ian crossland
Who's faster?
tim pool
I don't know.
Maybe.
ian crossland
We're not freaks.
tim pool
We're not athletic freaks either.
Do you guys hear what happened to Brett Weinstein on Clubhouse?
cassandra fairbanks
No.
tim pool
You heard about some activist came in and Brett Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist, right?
And they were like, you mean eugenicist?
And he was like, wait, what?
No.
I'm like, we know what it means!
You're a eugenicist!
unidentified
Evolution is like... They don't believe in a revolution now?! !
cassandra fairbanks
I'm Jewish.
I'm not sure if I'm white or not.
It's kind of a weird issue.
And they were like, you're a spicy white.
tim pool
What?
Are you serious?
ian crossland
Oh, she got a quote.
unidentified
I died.
I was laughing so hard.
tim pool
They called him spicy white?
cassandra fairbanks
Spicy white.
She was, you're just a spicy white.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Dude, check this out.
Check this out.
This is the creepiest thing ever.
cassandra fairbanks
Oh gosh.
tim pool
Yeah, so Mentioning them calling Brett Weinstein that they actually called him spicy white.
ian crossland
Yeah, I want to hear it.
cassandra fairbanks
I want to hear it Were you in the clubhouse No, I saw a clip of it on Twitter and I started listening to it.
tim pool
They called Brett Weinstein this?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
Because he was explaining that, like, he's not sure if he's technically white or not, because Jewish people were oppressed by Europeans and he's going on and on.
And she goes, you're just a spicy white.
tim pool
I think these people, I think they're anti-Semites.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
I think, you know, we've long talked about, say, like Farrakhan.
We know these people have Almost identical beliefs to the white identitarians.
You know, many of them are fascistic.
Many of them believe in racial segregation.
Now we have this from the Sacramento City Unified School District.
Your head's gonna explode when you hear this, my friends.
If you have any left, like, liberal friends who don't believe you, send them this website.
And have them read this.
Now you gotta be careful because these people and these tribes desperately want to believe it.
And I'll tell you what happened.
First let me read this for you, and I gotta be very careful because if any of this gets taken out of context, as if I said it, wow.
Check it out.
They write, and again this is a Sacramento City School District anti-racist classroom.
Racial affinity groups offer a structure of inquiry and can address many needs.
They support us in exploring what has been forbidden, forgotten, and unhealed.
Okay, forbidden.
Remember that word.
For example, in racial affinity groups, white people can discover together their group identity.
They can cultivate racial solidarity and compassion, and support each other in sitting with the discomfort, confusion, and numbness that often accompany white racial awakening.
This... What?
unidentified
I don't know, dude.
tim pool
I'm an American.
Right, I know, right?
unidentified
Wait, what?
tim pool
Let's just be Americans together.
Hold on, hold on.
Why is the school trying to tell these classrooms to teach white people to find their white racial identity, to have a white racial awakening?
unidentified
That doesn't sound like... It sounds like KKK.
tim pool
It sounds like the Klan!
Wait, hold on, it gets better.
So I posted this on Instagram, that last bit I highlighted.
Someone posted it on Reddit, and the moderator was like, this is a lie, here's the full context.
They added this part.
They can also discern white privilege and its impact without the aid or dependence of people of color.
White people who have formed racial affinity groups report they recognize their collective commonality and shared history, as well as the impact that their privileges had on other races and on each racial affinity group member.
Okay.
Do you know what happens to white racial groups when they're only... Hold on, hold on.
What would you call it?
unidentified
I'm sorry.
tim pool
What would you call it?
lydia smith
I love it.
tim pool
When a group of white people come together to share their history and talk about the impact the white race has had on the world and have a common and shared experience as they awaken to the reality of their race.
What do you call that when those groups go?
A clan meeting, maybe?
lydia smith
Uh-huh.
ian crossland
Racist?
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
I mean, Racist AF.
I don't know if it's discriminatory unless they're keeping people out, but this is the school doing it.
So I guess regardless of how you do it, if you're yeah, racist.
Here's the best part.
They try and make it seem like that last sentence is somehow absolving them of what they're saying.
Like white people formed, you know, recognize their collective commonality and shared history, the impact of
their privilege.
When you take a bunch of white people who are aggrieved, who are being bullied or told that they're wrong and bad and they feel bad, and then you put them in a group of a bunch of other white people, the memes have always been the birth of the alt-right.
There's a comic that shows a bunch of, you know, different-raced people, they're like stick figures, and they have like, you know, flags and like rainbow flag, and they're yelling at a white guy, get out, F you.
And so the white guy looks in the other direction and he sees a bunch of white people and he says, okay.
And so that was a meme that was pointing out all of this critical race theory stuff is doing is telling white people that the only place you'll feel comfortable and safe is in white racial affinity groups.
For the longest time, I've been warning.
The goal of what the Critical Race Theory stuff is doing is making people white supremacists.
It's going to make them vote along racial lines to benefit white people.
And then the left says, oh, but they're talking about white privilege, white privilege.
Regular people don't know what that means.
Regular Americans, middle class, working Americans who are white have no idea what you're talking about.
All they're going to hear is, you're bad, go hang out with a bunch of white people.
They will.
And then once you pass Identitarian law, they'll be like, okay, we're going to vote for Identitarianism.
When they say they're going to share their history and the impact their privilege has had on other races, do you think they'll be thinking of themselves negatively or positively?
lydia smith
Why would they think of themselves negatively?
tim pool
Why would a bunch of white people get together and say, hey, you know all that bad stuff we did?
Or what if they got together and said, look at all the awesome stuff we invented?
You'll get the Proud Boys.
I mean, they're not a white racial affinity group, but they'll say, the West is best.
Look at the things we created.
The Western world made everything great.
Why wouldn't you get that from a bunch of white bros hanging out high-fiving each other?
They're telling all of these kids, they're indoctrinating kids, to have a white racial awakening.
And when I tell people that's no different from the Klan or white supremacy, they say, oh, you're crazy.
We're the good guys.
We're allowed to do it.
cassandra fairbanks
Well, Cornell University was, they just announced a rock climbing class.
Campus Reform actually got them to change the description of the course when they reached out for comment.
But they had a rock climbing class that was for everyone except white people.
And so, I mean, they're pushing for segregation.
They want segregation.
And I keep thinking about that comedian that I know you're friends with who, uh... Ryan Long?
Yeah, he has that video, and they're both like, we want segregation!
tim pool
Oh, the woke and racist guy.
lydia smith
Yeah, the woke and racist.
ian crossland
Genius.
cassandra fairbanks
And I'm just like, you know what?
Fine, whatever.
ian crossland
I keep thinking of the IRA, the British and the Irish, and they were all white, but they had massive, because of religion in that case, the Catholics, a massive conflict, murder and desecration of each other, regardless of their skin color.
It was a religious thing.
So saying that white people have a shared history is insanity.
Humans have fought each other for reasons unbeknownst.
tim pool
It's a little bit more than that.
I mean, the Irish were basically enslaved by the British for a really long time.
ian crossland
Yeah, they're like tribal.
tim pool
Religion played a role, but when I went to Belfast in Northern Ireland, the... what do they call it?
The Peace Wall?
Is that what it's called?
lydia smith
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
It's the craziest thing.
On one side, it's like the pro-Northern Ireland people are saying that they're the true descendants of Israel.
And on the other side, there's paintings defending Palestine.
unidentified
And I was asking this local, I was like... The one struggle thing.
tim pool
What is that?
cassandra fairbanks
One Struggle.
tim pool
For Palestine or whatever?
cassandra fairbanks
It's the IRA people and then Palestine.
There's like a really famous big giant street art.
ian crossland
Oh, like the British Oppression?
Yeah, the Britons are the ones that created Israel with the Balfour Declaration in 1919, I think.
tim pool
Basically, what this dude told me was anything that the Republicans would say, then the, you know, the, I forgot the other factions, the opposition, would say the exact opposite.
And so when you look at the peace wall, you can see, like, Black Lives Matter.
On the other side, it's like, Donald Trump.
And it's just like, what does any of that have to do with Ireland and Irish politics?
And this dude told me nothing.
It was funny, this young guy who grew up here, he was like, and he was a kid in the 90s with all, like, the bombings and everything going on.
He was like, they just hate each other.
They hate each other and they want reasons to hate each other.
So no matter what the other side does, they do the opposite and justify their hatred for the other side.
lydia smith
Sounds familiar.
tim pool
It's why segregation is bad.
It's why we want to be like, are you an American?
I'm an American.
lydia smith
Great.
tim pool
America good.
ian crossland
Yeah.
I remember probably like eight months ago, when this kind of this identity stuff started really getting heavy.
I don't know if it was eight months ago, but I started to have this wave of feeling like, oh, you're going to tell me to go away and not accept me.
It's been brewing for a long time, though.
I mean, even at Occupy Wall Street, they were like, if you're a white man, you can't speak.
They used to say that all the time.
And it's I'm not playing that game.
cassandra fairbanks
Well, it's been brewing for a long time, though. I mean, even at Occupy
Wall Street, they were like, if you're a white man, you can't
speak like they used to say that all the time.
They'd be like, shut up, white man.
tim pool
I loved it because they would tell me that. And I go, I'm mixed race.
And they'll go, Oh, I'm so sorry.
unidentified
I'm so sorry.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
I remember I would cover like protests and stuff and they would be like, all the white people covering protests need to go to the back.
And then the people of color go to the front.
And I'm like, well, I'm still Puerto Rican.
Can I go somewhere in the middle?
tim pool
And they'd say, no.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
They were like, you're white.
I'll tell you exactly why I don't like any of this stuff.
I think it's fair to say it was more of a meme a couple years ago, Tim Pool's Mixed Race.
I don't really say it all that often.
But with this stuff coming up, I have to.
Because I have to make it explicitly clear to all the leftists.
When they create their racial affinity groups, can I just ask, which one do I get to be in?
Because the answer is none of them.
And I experienced this firsthand at Occupy Wall Street, when they created all their little communities, different communities based on race.
And when I was like, so which one do I go to?
They said, F you.
That was it.
They're like, we don't care, we don't like you.
Robin DiAngelo, apparently, I was talking to Carl Benjamin from the Lotus Eaters podcast about her book, White Fragility, and he was like, she basically admits, like, they have no answer to mixed-race people at all.
So, like, why would I allow racial segregationists to make me into a second-class citizen?
I'm never gonna, I'm never gonna stand for it.
These people are psychotic.
The only thing that unifies me with everybody else is basically America.
I'm an American.
I mean, I'm a human.
We're all humans.
I'm down for that.
Can we get like an alien invasion or something so that we unify like an Independence Day or something?
ian crossland
Probably.
tim pool
Probably.
I mean, maybe that's what's happening.
ian crossland
But it's going to be Martians and Earth and Terrans, basically, if we're not careful.
tim pool
If we colonize Mars.
ian crossland
Interplanetary conflict.
We got to be careful.
tim pool
Could you imagine like Elon Musk moves to Mars and then in like a couple hundred years, it's all the descendants of Musk and they're like the tribe of Musk.
It's like a militaristic South African, you know, like strange people, the Musk clan.
lydia smith
Yep.
ian crossland
God, don't talk like this.
tim pool
We're coming to invade your planet.
lydia smith
Like robots, South African robots.
tim pool
Kind of like robots.
I don't know how Elon Musk talks.
Is that how he talks?
lydia smith
Pretty much, yeah.
tim pool
Dude, I'm worried about the future.
lydia smith
I don't think that these groups are going to go the way they think they're going to go.
I think they are going to come up with a bunch of white supremacists, because I think you're right.
I think they're just closeted white supremacists, much like Rob and D'Angelo.
tim pool
I think it's on purpose.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, I almost hope that people go ahead and say, yeah, being white is great, because it really upsets me watching, like, I have a child, and so I see, like, Cartoon Network commercials and stuff like that.
And they're just constantly being like, if you're white, you're bad.
If you're white, you're bad.
And I think that's a horrible message to give to any child.
They can't control their skin color.
And it bothers me on like a really deep level that I'm seeing my child watching this stuff
where they're saying that she's evil.
Like, my daughter didn't participate in slavery or, you know, anything like that.
She doesn't care what color somebody is.
And they're targeting children with this stuff constantly.
And the right doesn't target children at all with any political stuff because they believe that the children should be left out of it.
And so we're, they're playing on a fighting field that we're not even touching.
And it scares me.
I don't think that children should be told to hate themselves based on their skin, no matter what color they are.
And they're targeting all these white children constantly.
It's like, you're white, you're bad.
You're white, you're bad.
tim pool
I hate it.
I think on the surface, we adults see that and say, oh no, these kids are going to internalize and hate themselves.
I don't think so.
I think kids rebel.
And I think you put these kids in white racial affinity groups and then tell them how bad they are, and they're going to be like, nah, we're cool.
lydia smith
Team up.
tim pool
And then they're going to say the opposite of what the adults say, as children do, when they rebel.
I mean, I think... I was reading about the natural cycle of, like, youth and rebellion, and the importance of it for human civilization.
That the youth needs to challenge the tradition of the old to make sure there's constantly some kind of societal change, lest the society grows stagnant and then collapse.
So, let's say you have... It's kind of like evolution.
The slow changes allow for an opportunity to improve the greater.
So the youthful generation is always challenging the older generation and trying to change things, make things better, and sometimes things don't change and sometimes they do.
So you have a bunch of kids who are constantly rebelling against the older generation.
I think it was Socrates, I'm not entirely sure, who complained about how the kids... Yes.
Was it Socrates?
lydia smith
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
He was like, the kids don't listen to their elders, they're rambunctious and disrespectful.
Everyone's writing a book.
Yeah, they're all reading books or something like that.
It's really, really funny to read that because it's like, wow, humans never changed.
cassandra fairbanks
But the problem is that their favorite YouTubers are saying it.
Their favorite celebrities are saying it.
And so it's different than like parents and like stuffy old teachers saying it.
They're seeing it from people that they think are cool.
tim pool
But I still think what's gonna happen is it's going to breed a very large sect of the alt-right.
So the way I put it earlier is you have 60% of this country that is white.
Let's say a small percentage of them are woke leftists who actually watch this stuff.
I think it's fair to recognize most people don't know anything about this, including Latinos who have no idea what Latinx means.
97% are like, what?
I don't know what that means.
So how many white people actually understand the woke stuff?
Probably not that many.
Of those who do, how many are on the left?
So what, you end up with like 10% of the people falling for this?
But then what happens when the other 10% who hate it, you know, are also in these groups?
I'll put it this way.
Every single kid who hears this is not necessarily going to just agree with it.
You'll get some amount of disagreement.
They are breeding white supremacists.
Kids who will say, no, you're wrong, I actually think it is better, or things like that.
The other issue is that if they keep doing this and eventually regular working class Americans who just happen to be white feel threatened and aggrieved, well then they'll start voting based on race and that's apparently what they want.
And then guess what?
Congratulations, 60% of the country is not going to vote based on race.
ian crossland
How does your daughter feel about it?
Have you talked to her?
cassandra fairbanks
I don't want to talk about my daughter on here really.
ian crossland
Do you have deep conversations about it with the kids?
cassandra fairbanks
We try and avoid that stuff in my house.
I don't have cable, so we don't actually get the commercials except when I was on vacation.
But I was watching it and I was like, holy crap, they're talking about impeachment on the Disney Channel.
unidentified
What?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
And it shocked me.
And I mean, we don't really watch that stuff.
We watch like Mr. Beast and crap at my house.
But yeah, I don't know.
My daughter is homeschooled, so it's a whole different ballgame than what the kids who are in public school and getting the Black Lives Matter curriculums are seeing.
ian crossland
Dude, I was playing Apex Legends and I saw some cool banner and I was like, oh, that's pretty sweet.
So I just put it, equipped it to my guy and it was the fist sticking up with a yellow background.
And then another one of my friends was like, that's the Black Lives Matter thing, dude.
And I was like, what, really?
I didn't even know.
I'm kind of in it.
I didn't know.
cassandra fairbanks
There's a YouTuber that's for kids.
And I was watching some of their videos because my daughter likes to watch Roblox videos and I like to see what they're doing.
So I was checking out this channel and he's going on about how if you're not attracted to trans people that you're homophobic.
And I'm like, this is targeted towards kids who are like seven.
It's a Roblox channel.
And I was just astounded.
You have to really watch what your kids are watching now.
It's terrifying.
And the right isn't touching this field.
The children are being targeted by the left.
They're paying big money.
They're getting commercials on Disney.
They're getting curriculums into schools, and the right largely wants to keep kids out of politics.
tim pool
We don't want- And they want their kids in these schools.
I never understood the absurdity of being like, they're indoctrinating our kids in these schools with their rogue curriculum!
I demand my kid be put back in school!
Okay, then shut up.
Put your kid in the school, I don't care.
ian crossland
Homeschooling, that's what it's all about.
tim pool
You get these news stories where like the teachers union guy in California is saying schools can't be reopened and then sending his kid to a private school.
They're gonna send your kids to the wolves, to the indoctrination, we'll call it facilities because they're not camps, they're facilities.
You know where your kids go to school and they learn all this weird racial stuff and they put your white kids in a white affinity group so they can learn about white history and shared culture.
Congratulations on that one.
And then Your kids are gonna be in that and they're gonna send their kids to the fancy normal schools where your kids will be indoctrinated and made to believe this crazy stuff.
lydia smith
My friend sent me a video this week of her son's class, and she was teaching, his teacher was showing the class how to do the Black Power Salute.
These are five-year-olds, like, these kids are being dipped in it from like two years old and up.
cassandra fairbanks
See, and the right will never go there.
Because we want kids to be kids.
Right.
And so it's bad, and they're on a whole different playing field than we are.
lydia smith
Well, Tim is absolutely right.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
lydia smith
Yep.
They've been, they're actually fighting like a serious, serious fight here and we're not, and we're going to lose because of it.
And Tim is absolutely right about complaining about not school, schools not being open.
Like, why would you complain about that?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
I haven't got that either.
I'm like, wait, no, this is great.
lydia smith
Yes, figure out how to homeschool them.
unidentified
Yes!
lydia smith
Absolutely.
tim pool
Or pods.
unidentified
Yeah, do a pod.
tim pool
Where the local community gets all their kids together.
You hire one tutor.
lydia smith
Yeah, because I don't feel that smart.
cassandra fairbanks
I live in Best West Virginia now.
Best West Virginia.
There's actually a bill making its way through Congress in our state where they're going to fund children instead of institutions.
A lot of states are doing that.
Yeah, I'm so amped.
lydia smith
I'm loving it.
cassandra fairbanks
It went through the Senate and Congress now, I think.
It has to be signed by the governor.
I could be wrong.
ian crossland
How does it work?
cassandra fairbanks
But it's great.
So instead of the money, because each public school gets like $20,000 a year or something per student.
So instead of that money automatically going to the public schools, the parents will be able to choose whether they want to spend that on home school supplies, on private school, on sending them to a charter school, or sending them to public school.
And then they'll get that money.
And the teachers unions really oppose it because nobody's going to want to send their kids to public school.
But it's amazing and it's great.
And I am really pushing for this to go through.
And I love my state.
tim pool
School choice.
ian crossland
School choice.
Yeah.
tim pool
That was one of Trump's positions.
I'm in favor.
I'm absolutely in favor of.
ian crossland
It's a little, a little disheartening that, hey, if you're going to be a teacher, you might be out of a job.
You know, the age of automation is coming.
The age of homeschooling is coming.
And but just think about that.
If you're 17 and you're going to school, maybe you don't want to become a teacher.
cassandra fairbanks
Or be a better teacher so that people want to send their kids to you.
lydia smith
Yeah, you can teach those pods.
tim pool
Public school in Chicago was like torture.
There were a couple of good teachers.
There was one really good teacher I had, for the most part, who I respect.
I'm actually friends with on Facebook.
The other teachers were criminal.
It was child abuse.
There was one lady, I won't say her name, Absolutely despicable, old, haggard, obese woman who would just insult and berate and just crap all over these kids every day, and I watched it.
Now for me, you know, when I was like nine, my family started a business, and so I was very independent, on my own, building computers, having a job, and understanding what it meant to actually be responsible.
So hearing this, this, you know, morbidly obese, nasty woman rag and insult me was meaningless to me because it just, it doesn't affect me.
I've got more important things to do.
But I could see how it was affecting these kids who are like 10, 10 years old, seeing them cry, seeing them hate school.
And I was just like, I never took school seriously, which is why like a year later when I was going to high school, I just stopped going to school because I was like, what a waste of time.
But so many kids were just brutally abused by teachers at the schools I've been to.
And that's public schools.
And we're supposed to just blindly follow the teachers' union because union good?
Nah, sorry, I don't care.
cassandra fairbanks
The only place that most children see violence is in public school.
tim pool
Wasn't it, we mentioned this before, Michael Malice?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, he brings that up a lot.
tim pool
Yeah, it's like one of the only places they'll see violence.
And he said they're basically prisons.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, Chicago actually implemented solitary confinement for their kids.
They took like an 11-year-old kid and threw him into a solitary confinement room full of padded walls and then just left him there for like a day.
And then he like crapped his pants and then was crying and sitting in his waist because he couldn't get up.
He was 11?
cassandra fairbanks
If that was my child, I'd be in prison right now.
lydia smith
Probably would be too, yeah.
tim pool
That's Chicago.
But listen, that's Chicago for poor people.
The rich people will advocate for all of this stuff.
I mean, I swear, we're headed towards...
It's like every awful dystopian novel all jammed into one.
You guys remember, you see Luke's shirt where it's a Venn diagram of all the dystopian novels and it's like, you are here in the middle?
It's true, man.
You've got an emerging neo-feudalist system where the ultra-rich advocate for laws that make life for the poor substantially worse.
Many poor people are too ignorant to realize they're voting for their own destruction.
The left agrees on this one.
And seemingly, the right agrees with the left.
Both sides agree that poor people are voting against their own interests.
The rich people know, my kid's never going to go in that garbage school with those garbage teachers, so why should I care?
Do it!
And then I'm going to send my kid to the moon or whatever, to Elysium, where they're going to get the pristine, beautiful education, and not have to worry about being put in solitary confinement.
cassandra fairbanks
Speaking of solitary confinement and children, did you guys see the story last night?
I was going to bed and I actually jumped out of bed in a rage after I read this.
lydia smith
Yes, I think I know what you're talking about.
cassandra fairbanks
Up in Canada, they were suggesting that if your child got exposed to COVID in school, that you put them in confinement by themselves for 14 days.
tim pool
Did you see the tweets?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, they did it.
The parents, two parents came out and said that they were doing it, that they were in the process of doing it.
They got brainwashed into abusing their own children and overriding their maternal instincts.
And they ended up both deleting their Twitter accounts, I believe, because people were like, you are abusing your child.
Like the United Nations considers solitary confinement for 15 days to be torture.
And these moms are doing it to their children because they are so scared of a disease or a virus
that is 99%- For kids, it's like 99.9999.
tim pool
Did you see the tweets?
cassandra fairbanks
I was so angry.
tim pool
One of the tweets was, there are two tweets that went viral.
One was, the hardest thing for me was hearing my young son crying,
locked in the basement or locked in the other room.
Are you serious?
One of the tweets was, I feel bad for my son.
He keeps texting me, Mommy, I'm lonely.
Like, wow.
cassandra fairbanks
I was in bed so tired.
I hadn't slept the night before.
I was editing for Gateway all weekend, so I was, like, non-stop staring at the screen.
And I was finally in bed, and I was like, yeah, I'm gonna crash.
Somebody sent it to me, and I was like... I, like, lost... I haven't...
I read so much crazy stuff that I rarely get like actually angry anymore, but I read that and I just lost it.
I couldn't control myself.
I mean, I would eat an entire Petri dish filled with literal COVID virus germs before I would put my daughter into solitary confinement.
tim pool
That's crazy.
cassandra fairbanks
And I was just like, how?
How did they get these moms to do this?
tim pool
It's not just that.
The woman, one of the tweets, she was like, I have severe asthma, so we have to do this.
And I think about, you know, how they're saying we must sacrifice the young for the old.
Oh, the old are vulnerable, so let's destroy the economy and shut schools down.
And I thought about when did it go from the old, the adults will sacrifice themselves for the children, to the children should sacrifice themselves for the adults.
Well, I'm the adult and I have asthma, so my child must be put in solitary confinement.
cassandra fairbanks
My mom has asthma.
She's hospitalized for it all the time.
She's in rough shape from it.
But she has foster children, and one of them got exposed to COVID at school.
And my mom, who is in the highest risk category for this, quarantined with him.
And she didn't get it.
So I'm just like, that's the right thing to do.
That's not even her child, technically.
And she put herself out there to take care of him because it's her responsibility.
It's her foster child.
And these people, like they're actual own children.
tim pool
I, man, I'm sorry.
cassandra fairbanks
I lost my mind over this.
tim pool
I gotta say, we didn't get to the Cuomo being metooed now by three women.
ian crossland
I could go on about that all week.
tim pool
But we'll do that in the bonus segment because it is an anniversary.
And I want to talk about something of which Cassandra is like a foremost expert on.
Waco, right?
Yes.
But first, check this out.
This is mind-blowing.
And I wonder if you know this too, Cassandra.
Today, or I'm sorry, yesterday, the ATF tweeted, We remember the fallen agents, Conway LeBleu, Special Agent Todd McKeon, Special Agent Robert Williams, Special Agent Steve Willis, who made the ultimate sacrifice trying to execute a search warrant.
Learn more.
Remember Waco, February 28th, 1993.
Now, Cassandra, that tweet triggers you, right?
cassandra fairbanks
I am taking deep breaths.
Just you reading it got me mad all over again.
tim pool
Did you know that in 2020, they tweeted the same thing?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, and I think I flipped out last year.
tim pool
And you know, the year before that, they tweeted the same thing.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
So ever since I made my Twitter account, I think in 2013 or something, every single year on Waco, I've gone into like long thread rant, crazy person.
Cause I've been obsessed with Waco since I was little.
I remember seeing it on the news.
I think I was like eight years old.
And it was horrifying.
tim pool
So break down what happened for everybody who doesn't, who's not super familiar.
cassandra fairbanks
Our government murdered our kids, basically.
No, what actually happened was the Branch Davidians were living in a compound in Waco, Texas, obviously.
And ATF and FBI had just flubbed massively a raid on Ruby Ridge.
And they shot a woman who was holding her 10-month-old baby, their 14-year-old son, while trying to stake out and arrest this guy.
And so everybody was really pissed off about it.
Everybody was enraged.
And ATF looked bad.
FBI looked bad.
People were really angry at them.
So they were like, let's get a win.
Let's go and save these kids from this bad, evil cult.
And so David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians, he would jog into town every day.
He was close to the local sheriff.
The people there were all, you know, easily accessible, friendly with the community.
The sheriff loved him.
They called him when they were getting raided.
They wanted to make a big spectacle about arresting David Koresh because he had some illegal gun parts.
They sold stuff at gun shows.
It was, you know, whatever.
tim pool
Gun control.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
So U.S.
government gun control is really scary.
So basically what happened is on February 28th, 1993, they went and they were going to go serve a warrant, but they wanted it to be flashy.
They wanted to have a big blowout.
And so they invited the local news to come.
Well, the local news driver got lost and he asked a USPS driver how to get to the Mount Caramel, which was the Branch Davidian compound.
And that guy happened to be a Branch Davidian.
So he warned everybody who was back at the compound that something was going wrong and something weird was happening.
So they all got ready and they didn't come out.
and they weren't going to come out and so ATF breached the top window.
There's a very famous video of them going up on a ladder and a shootout took place inside.
Some members of the ATF were killed and they retreated and a standoff ensued for 51 days where they were torturing the people inside.
There were I think 27 women, 25 children who died but For 51 days, they tortured these people.
They would play sounds of rabbits being slaughtered, which is a horrific sound, like really loud, through the speakers.
They wouldn't give them milk.
They turned off the electricity.
There were a lot of babies in there, and they couldn't eat, so they made a deal to give them milk, but then they put, like, recording devices in it.
It was just really bad.
They did things there that would be considered a war crime if we did it in another nation.
And then ultimately, in April, it culminated with a CS gas attack.
They went and they told Janet Reno that they believed that David Koresh was beating babies and raping babies, none of which was true.
He had married a 14-year-old, but that was legal in Texas at the time.
I personally disagree with that, as most people would, but it was legal.
And so none of this was true.
They admitted like five months after the siege that this wasn't true.
But because they told her that babies were being like beaten, she was like, OK, go in with CS gas.
And the FBI, the few sympathetic negotiators were like, They're not going to have gas masks for kids.
And, you know, the FBI were like, well, they'll have to come out faster then.
So on the final day, they started piercing the building with tanks and shooting CS gas in, which by this point the government knew was flammable.
We had seen the move bombing and several other raids that ended up turning buildings into bombs because You're putting gas into a building and breaking it apart.
And they didn't have the fire department there, so the building caught fire.
There's a debate if it was the ATF that started the fire or if it was the Branshevidians.
But either way, they did not have the fire department there to stop it.
And so the women and children went and hid in a half-buried bus, and because the tanks were knocking down the building, the door to get out got barricaded.
And so they shot tear gas into where the women and children were, and they died.
They suffocated.
The whole building went up in an inferno.
Only a few people made it out.
It's one of the The greatest American tragedies, in my opinion.
That was really long.
unidentified
No, no.
tim pool
And I'm sure there's a whole bunch.
That was the quick version.
That was a few minutes.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
And then every every year the ATF on Twitter commemorates the fallen servicemen over what was probably one of the most horrific atrocities.
cassandra fairbanks
And they never say anything about the women or children or or men who were killed in there.
But you know what the Branch Davidians do?
Every year they have a memorial at Mount Caramel and they also remember the ATF who died.
Wow.
Along with their own people.
The ATF doesn't do that.
tim pool
I mean, I feel for the ATF, the families of these men who lost their lives.
unidentified
Sure.
tim pool
But we clearly know who was in the wrong on this one.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, I'm sad when I hear about war and I hear any like people and I don't want anyone to die.
You know what I mean?
cassandra fairbanks
My issue is that they only remember the ATF people.
There were 27 children in there.
Two unborn babies.
And they killed them.
Whether Koresh started the fire or not, which I personally don't believe, but that's their theory, even if that's true, they were shooting CS gas into a building, it did not have the fire department on standby, knowing that it starts fires.
And they could have arrested him anytime he jogged into town, and they didn't because they wanted a show for the cameras.
This was all on them.
And they don't even memorialize the babies that they killed.
It infuriates me.
tim pool
Well, they'd have to admit fault to them.
They'd have to admit that they killed these children.
Yeah.
The other thing, too, is even outside of fire, you don't fire CS gas into a closed building because it displaces oxygen.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
I was in Turkey and there was a parking garage.
It was during Gezi Park.
And they were very liberally using tear gas, as it were.
Just like, there was so much tear gas on the ground, you were walking and kicking cans out of the way.
And I remember seeing a bunch of the activists running into a parking tunnel, and then when the police fired tear gas into it, the next thing we saw was a bunch of people dragging bodies out.
As soon as that gas filled the whole space up, there was no air anymore.
People were just dropping to the ground.
So what did the ATF think was going to happen if they started firing tear gas into a closed building?
cassandra fairbanks
Well, they claim that it would make the women want to protect their children and run out with their babies.
But, you know, they had been terrorizing these people for 51 days.
Why would they trust them to leave the building?
If I was them, I would have thought they were going to kill me.
tim pool
Night.
They were and they did.
lydia smith
Yeah.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
lydia smith
So I was talking to somebody about this on the anniversary and they were like, well, that sounds like it was handled, you know, less than responsibly.
I was like, yeah.
And, and I was like, this is worse than war because this is the government of your own country taking you out.
I was like, I admittedly, that was the first time I had looked into it was the other day, yesterday on the anniversary.
And I was horrified.
I found pictures.
I saw like the, you know, the fireball.
The chart remains.
Yeah.
And I sent that picture and I was like, I mean, look at this.
You can tell me what you want.
cassandra fairbanks
The government bulldozed that whole site like a week later too.
unidentified
Wow.
cassandra fairbanks
They didn't even like go and collect all the evidence.
They were like, let's just get rid of this.
Like quite literally.
tim pool
That's crazy.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
My dad's from Waco.
cassandra fairbanks
I get infuriated.
tim pool
Yeah, I might.
The answer my family is from Waco.
So there's like.
Nothing really related to that, because they all I think they left
well before, you know, 1993.
Yeah. But apparently there is, you know, a lot of stories of people who
knew people and like how crazy it was.
cassandra fairbanks
Well, David Thibodeau, who's one of the people who who escaped
from the fire.
He he has a book called Waco Survivor Story.
I cannot recommend this book enough.
It's what the Paramount and Netflix docudrama was based on, partially.
Gary Nosner, the FBI negotiator, he also wrote a book and they merged the two books to make the series.
But he's one of the nicest guys I've ever talked to.
I've interviewed him and I just think he is such a wonderful person and it breaks my heart that they killed the woman that he loved, you know?
It's all very sad.
I highly recommend that book or the Paramount series to anyone who wants to learn more about Weko.
tim pool
Didn't Bill Barr do something where he got someone off?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, he defended them saying that they were doing the right thing.
And I mean, I was screaming my head off when Bill Maher got put in the admin.
I was like, no!
lydia smith
That kind of makes sense now.
So I have to ask, what happened to Janet Reno?
What happened to anybody?
Was there ever any accountability?
cassandra fairbanks
She's burning in hell now.
unidentified
Well, I mean, yeah.
lydia smith
Besides that.
cassandra fairbanks
She's getting the same fiery treatment she gave those kids.
unidentified
That's fair.
lydia smith
I like that.
Yeah, that makes total sense.
But she was never held accountable?
cassandra fairbanks
No.
Of course not.
lydia smith
Cool.
tim pool
Yeah, when does that stuff ever happen?
I think it's funny as I read more and more gun blogs.
I'm learning more about guns, living out in the middle of nowhere, and also buying weapons.
And it's funny how many comments I see about the ATF and the jokes and the memes and the mockery about how the laws make no sense.
This one's too short, but it's also too long, so it can't exist.
I watched a video from Demolition Ranch where he talks about the absurdity of this weapon.
It's a shotgun, but it's not a shotgun, so it's technically illegal, but it's not...
Let me put it this way.
Gun control makes no sense.
When they claim that the same gun in like different styles, it becomes illegal if it's got like a pistol grip versus a rifle grip, but it's the exact same weapon firing the exact same thing at the exact same rate.
There's a lot of people who point out how gun control seems to target scary weapons as opposed to actually functional weapons.
And then you end up with ATF raids going after people for things that should not be illegal or quite literally makes no sense.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, and it's hard to know.
It's hard to know if you're accidentally breaking the law because the laws are changing all the time.
Seriously.
tim pool
Well, it's one thing Donald Trump did.
Luke complains about it all the time.
The bump stock ban made people criminals overnight without notice.
Like, I'm sure there were a lot of people who had no idea what's going on politically.
cassandra fairbanks
Right.
tim pool
And they probably might have a bump stock sitting in, you know, in their shed, not realizing it.
And then they don't know what they bought.
Maybe they got a bunch of different guns and stocks.
And then they pass this law.
This guy doesn't watch the news.
And now what?
Now he's a felon.
And if they go to his house, they're going to find it.
He's going to go to prison or get fined.
Or they could throw tear gas in his house and kill his kids.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
I mean, yeah.
tim pool
Depending on the degree to which this person has these items.
ian crossland
It's strange that it's alcohol, tobacco, and firearms all together.
tim pool
And explosives.
ian crossland
Like, why alcohol?
Why tobacco?
What does tobacco have anything to do with guns?
It's weird to me.
Like, why wouldn't you just call it the F?
Get rid of the F. Make different divisions.
tim pool
Make it like the F. The F-E.
The E-F, the explosives and firearms.
ian crossland
Something like that, yeah!
Like, get tobacco out of there!
unidentified
Yeah, nobody cares.
ian crossland
I understand the contraband running it in the 20s.
When did they start the ATF?
tim pool
Tobacco?
ian crossland
Was it like the late 20s?
tim pool
Yeah, it's so weird.
When was tobacco contraband?
lydia smith
Tobacco has never been contraband.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
Oh, just in the U.S.?
I don't know.
tim pool
They really do got to change the ATF, to be honest.
lydia smith
Yeah.
cassandra fairbanks
They should get rid of the ATF.
lydia smith
I'm sorry.
tim pool
Abolish the ATF.
If the left started with abolishing the ATF, every conservative would be like, yes.
cassandra fairbanks
We could totally find common ground on that.
lydia smith
Absolutely.
cassandra fairbanks
Let's get rid of the IRS, ATF.
unidentified
I'm in.
cassandra fairbanks
Let's go.
unidentified
Reformation.
tim pool
Where is the left and abolishing the IRS?
It's like leftists. I know you're all in favor of like taxation and stuff like that, but it is a government
institution Can we agree to get rid of that one? Yeah, or the Fed?
Yeah, we'll start with this and then we'll work our way up and we'll find where we hit that wall finding common ground
ATF goes You know, maybe some of these, you know agencies within DHS
Maybe we stop somewhere and then you guys get rid of a bunch of government institutions
We keep some of them.
It's a win-win.
ian crossland
I want to kind of get rid of Homeland Security.
Didn't exist 30 years ago.
I don't think it needs to exist now.
They just created it after 9-11.
tim pool
No, no, it brought things together.
So it took a bunch of different agencies and put them under one roof.
ian crossland
It's like the secret police.
They're like the SS of the German Reich.
tim pool
No, that's an extreme exaggeration.
ian crossland
Totally unnecessary.
We already have the National Guard.
We have the Department of Defense.
We don't need some new, weird organization that's quasi-paramilitary.
tim pool
Like the federal government shouldn't have its own police force?
ian crossland
Definitely not.
Why not?
Who do they adhere to?
tim pool
What do you mean?
ian crossland
What jurisdiction is going to make sure they don't get out of line?
cassandra fairbanks
The federal government.
tim pool
What do you mean?
What about any police officer then?
Who's going to stop any cop from getting out of line?
ian crossland
The city, the state.
tim pool
And so the feds have those same jurisdiction.
ian crossland
Federal police doesn't like answer to the state, though.
That's the problem.
tim pool
Yes, they do.
ian crossland
Well, technically, it's jurisdictional debates.
tim pool
So in Washington, D.C., for instance, and on federal jurisdiction, you need
federal police.
Like if a dude shows up with a gun and starts shooting in D.C.
who's going to arrest him?
ian crossland
I remember.
cassandra fairbanks
How the left is super pro FBI and feds now.
Like when I was on the left, we hated snitches, hated the FBI.
And now all of a sudden they're like retweeting the FBI asking for
snitches.
unidentified
I'm like, you guys really changed.
ian crossland
Homeland Security.
tim pool
That's another department Homeland security is the parent for a bunch of different divisions.
Like, I think ICE is within DHS, right?
FPS.
CBP.
We need customs and border protection, bro.
Otherwise you get people kidnapping children.
We need federal, uh, um, what is it?
Federal police service?
Is that what it's called?
In Washington, DC, they have federal police.
It's a federal jurisdiction.
ian crossland
There would like, I'll be honest, I don't know a lot of... What's up, iTunes?
cassandra fairbanks
We're back!
ian crossland
Someone was aggro about what I was talking about.
unidentified
I know, right?
ian crossland
I was speaking the truth.
tim pool
There's an ATF guy and he's calling the NSA and he's like... Oh, the NSA is another weird one.
ian crossland
That didn't used to exist either.
tim pool
Yeah, the NSA is definitely creepy.
unidentified
That can go.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
We could team up on certain things.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
We just won't do it because we're not well- I'm just saying, like, DHS includes- that's what I was saying, some departments, some agencies within DHS.
Because DHS is just a parent umbrella for a bunch of organizations.
cassandra fairbanks
I got, like, bot attacked when I was going on about Listen, we have triple redundancy on the internet right now.
tim pool
So for those that are listening online, if, you know, we're cutting in and out, I'm not entirely sure.
We have a triple redundancy on the internet.
We have a really robust system that was built by this really smart feller.
That's right.
And when one network goes down, it switches rapidly.
So we never get kicked off.
For us to actually get booted off right now.
That's wild.
Yeah, that's pretty wild.
unidentified
Hmm.
ian crossland
Conspiracies abound.
tim pool
No, it's not a conspiracy.
There have been a variety of cyber attacks going on.
lydia smith
Yes, they've been having fun.
tim pool
We know that Gab got attacked recently.
Well, how about this?
Let's read some Super Chats, because we did go a little bit over.
Smash the like button if you haven't already, and we're going to rag on Cuomo, because he's getting MeToo'd heavily in the Members Only exclusive segment coming up in just about an hour and 20 minutes or so.
But don't forget to subscribe, hit the like button, hit the like button, and the notification bell.
We do the show live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.
We are going to TimCast.com, and now we're going to read your Super Chats.
We got the first Super Chat.
YouTube actually cuts off the name of the first Super Chat for some reason.
unidentified
That's so weird.
lydia smith
That's so annoying.
tim pool
Because there's like a little thing like for merchandise I can't get rid of.
lydia smith
Oh, I see.
tim pool
They said, get Red-Headed Libertarian on here.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
She's cool.
unidentified
We are trying.
cassandra fairbanks
I love her.
tim pool
Yes.
cassandra fairbanks
Do it.
tim pool
I actually just talked to her today.
Josie is fantastic.
cassandra fairbanks
I love her.
tim pool
Clarence W says, just got Our Pillow in the mail, purchased for Glorious Motherland.
lydia smith
Yes!
tim pool
So for those that aren't familiar, actually, maybe I can, I can do this.
I'll put the Our Pillow up because I'm very, very proud.
And I think we might have an announcement tomorrow on the Our Pillow project.
Now the current Our Pillow, which is just, it's on Teespring, and it's just a design we made where the my and my pillow is X'd out and it says our and there's a revolution fist holding it.
A bunch of leftists bought them.
They were like, dude, this slaps.
This is awesome.
And they're like, it's funny.
It is.
It's just a silly, funny thing.
It's not really making fun of anybody.
It's just make, it's a pillow.
And so leftists were like, it's got the revolution fist.
lydia smith
Heck yeah.
tim pool
I like it.
And I'm like, we're kind of making fun of the whole thing.
Not necessarily, you know, it's the communist version of the, my pillow.
It, you know, so, uh, pick up yours today.
Your, our pillow.
But, uh, we actually have the legit campaign we're doing.
If you haven't, if you want to get the full details.
Over at TimCast.com, we have a segment explaining the full plan for the Our Pillow project.
We are going to legit be selling collector's item boxes.
They are boxes full of packing peanuts with burlap sacks in them.
Go to TimCast.com, you'll get the whole explanation for the members.
And then there's going to be some commercials on Fox News.
Not kidding.
Matthew Hammond says, I love Cassandra.
unidentified
Aw, thank you.
tim pool
Excellent.
Poofy says, Lids 2024.
Oh, thanks Poofy.
lydia smith
There you go.
She's a G, I love her.
tim pool
Matthew Hammond says, Tim needs to hire Cassandra for a spooky story cult podcast.
Gee, I wonder where they got that idea.
lydia smith
Interesting idea.
unidentified
I like it.
tim pool
We might have one next week.
I tweeted we're looking for a podcast producer.
We may have one.
And the idea is to talk a lot about, what did we say?
unidentified
Crime, cults, mysteries, paranormal.
tim pool
Just the spooky.
It's hard to describe the overall theme, but it's kind of just like... I don't know how to describe it.
cassandra fairbanks
And I've already been working on guests.
tim pool
So there's gonna be like... I'm really excited for this.
It'll probably be once a week, but with like little clips here and there, kind of like how we do this show, just only once a week, because it's gonna be researched, produced.
And then we're going to have like a produced legit breakdown where it's like
VO script, sound effects, music, and then maybe like an hour or so discussion about all this crazy stuff.
But we're going to have crazy guests. I mean, Cassandra's got some crazy people lined up.
cassandra fairbanks
I'm actually surprised that more people didn't realize what was going on when you told me that.
Because those are all my favorite topics.
lydia smith
I was like, we should get Cassandra involved.
tim pool
We tried doing it before and we weren't able to make it happen, but now we're going to.
And then we're basically going to try and have like once a week, maybe like a two hour thing.
And then throughout the week, little snippets, clips from the show, kind of like what we're doing.
But, uh, Cassandra has already pitched me some guests who have said yes.
And I'm like, Wow.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
It's going to be dark stuff.
cassandra fairbanks
This is my, uh, my favorite, my favorite world of things to talk about.
And usually I've always kept it separate.
Like my Facebook, I have all my spooky, weird friends and then Twitter is all political.
And, but I actually know a ton of people that will be wonderful for a show like this.
unidentified
So.
tim pool
It's going to be fun.
cassandra fairbanks
I'm very excited.
tim pool
Yeah.
The crazy and the shit in the, in the creepy.
Eli Massora says, YOLO ladies and gents.
Hope that's not misgendering.
I wanted to know when you're planning any of the private events that you talked about.
I would love to meet you guys.
I love your stuff.
Tell Luke F the government to the moon.
So Luke is on vacation.
A lot of people were like, where's Luke?
He's on vacation, but Luke's a bit of a vagabond.
Like he was legit when he said he was living in my parking lot.
He's got like a mobile home in the parking lot.
So maybe he'll come back.
Maybe he won't.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
I don't know.
But, uh, you know, we're assuming he will be.
People are saying, free Luke!
We know you're keeping him locked up.
Follow... Didn't he post on Facebook that his car broke down or something?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, I think he's stuck in, like, South Carolina or something.
tim pool
I told him, I was like, he can't do it, man.
He's like, I gotta go.
Nature calls, or, you know, whatever.
lydia smith
Yeah, apparently.
tim pool
And then he gets in the truck, and before he left, we were worried he was gonna break down.
But, you know, everything's fine.
And then it was like a couple hours later, he's like...
cassandra fairbanks
You can't hold Luke down, though.
Luke is going to Luke.
lydia smith
That's true.
tim pool
You know what?
This is sad right here.
DeadEye22 says, we need to hear Luke's rant on the ATF's Waco statement.
And Luke would have been, he would have been, oh, that would have been spicy.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
Oh, it's too bad, Luke.
He's probably listening in his broken down truck right now.
cassandra fairbanks
He can hop on Periscope.
tim pool
Dan and Rip Luke, you're still here in our hearts.
ian crossland
The best political t-shirts.
tim pool
That's right.
Delman says, Tim, buddy, need your help.
Let people know the Minnesota government is trying to poison the well in pending trial of Derek Chauvin.
Over a million dollars spent on influencers at this point.
Source, cbsnews.com.
cassandra fairbanks
That's true.
I saw that.
I wanted to go read that article and I forgot to.
lydia smith
You didn't have a chance, yeah.
tim pool
We're getting internet hiccups.
This is interesting.
I wonder if we're under attack.
I wouldn't be surprised.
unidentified
It's the aliens.
Yeah.
tim pool
Student of history says Tim to quote you if it bleeds it leads. Yes, they want bloodshed and this reaction
It's purely because these journalists are sitting there listening to addicted by sick by saving a saving able
whilst starring staring at Trump's Blank Twitter page and crying. Yes
unidentified
Yeah, yeah Delhi
tim pool
Opelis says please stop saying Australia when you talk about draconian cover restrictions in Melbourne
The rest of the country hasn't had a lockdown since April last year, and every business has remained open.
We are freer than you are.
All right, Delhi.
In many ways, yes.
Florida is completely open as well.
We've had Republican states that never, like South Dakota never locked down, right?
ian crossland
I don't know much about it.
lydia smith
Yeah, I don't think so.
tim pool
South Dakota never locked down?
So, but you are correct.
I'll make sure to say it's Victoria, isn't it?
Where they've gone insane.
cassandra fairbanks
I think North Dakota just made a law that you can't make mask mandates anymore.
lydia smith
Right, I saw that.
cassandra fairbanks
So there's like a war on which Dakota is the more free Dakota right now.
unidentified
Which is the more free.
tim pool
Paul Stam says, Cassandra is and always will be one of the coolest guests you have on your show.
She's a badass with some good political views.
Some spicy ones too.
I love when they pull the clips out of context for the spiciest.
cassandra fairbanks
They don't like my jokes.
Nobody understands me.
tim pool
Brico says, Tim, gals watch your podcast too.
We care about smooth, plump skin.
Well, I know, I know.
ian crossland
It's true.
tim pool
Get that collagen.
Biotrust.
Thanks, Biotrust.
ian crossland
Good for you.
tim pool
Click the link in the description below.
But it's like 90% dudes who watch.
Oh, really?
Yeah, like 90%.
Actually, no, no, no.
I think this one is better.
lydia smith
I brought the number of chicks up a little bit.
Good job.
I've been working very hard on it.
tim pool
Nice work.
So on my main shows, it's like 90% dudes.
On this one, I think it's like 80 to 85.
Like, there are women who like my show.
Probably because there are women on the show.
You know what I mean?
lydia smith
Yeah.
And your female voice.
ian crossland
Massive muscular.
tim pool
A bunch of dudes banging on the table, chanting about how they're gorillas.
Maybe it doesn't appeal to women.
unidentified
No, not really.
tim pool
I am a gorilla.
lydia smith
I don't know why not.
ian crossland
It just really appeals to men.
lydia smith
That's right.
tim pool
All right.
The Scott says, Canadian here, FYI, do we have a constitution and a charter of rights?
The COVID hotels do violate both of those.
Also, the hotels are privately owned and entirely staffed by private security and medical professionals.
ian crossland
Freaking weird.
tim pool
You hear about what's going on up there, right?
ian crossland
This is in Canada?
tim pool
Yeah.
I saw what you were tweeting about that journalist, Kian Bextie.
Oh yeah, I love that guy.
So I did a segment on him, and it's like, it's creepy, man.
He wanted food, and he's calling a known lancer, and he's locked down in a hotel for three days.
It's a government quarantine facility, they call it.
And when they finally delivered food, it was cold, like freezer waffles.
And what was next to it?
cassandra fairbanks
I think it was crepes, but like dry plain crepes.
tim pool
Yeah, what are they feeding these people?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, that sounds good.
tim pool
And it's like two grand.
unidentified
Jeez.
ian crossland
Brutal.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
Just this is to enter the country.
You got to spend two grand and sit for three days.
You're locked down.
tim pool
And if you come into contact with someone, they extend the quarantine.
ian crossland
Oh my God.
tim pool
He said apparently some guys went up the fire escape and like escaped.
cassandra fairbanks
One of them was wearing a cowboy hat.
That's my favorite detail.
unidentified
Huh.
Interesting.
Whoa.
tim pool
Crazy.
All right.
Evil zombie hamster says I received my I am a gorilla shirt today.
I've worn it less than two hours and it's already covered in my Husky's fur.
Never ending shedding.
You know, I have to say we got a bunch of the samples of the gorilla shirt.
Finally.
They're really good.
Yeah.
I'm impressed with Teespring.
ian crossland
I got to get one.
tim pool
So we have them downstairs.
ian crossland
Awesome.
tim pool
And it's like remarkably soft.
It's like really high quality shirts.
No joke.
It's Teespring.
I mean, we just give them the graphics and they print it.
So they look awesome.
The Nick of Time says, Tim isn't brave enough to read this.
Tim is a doody head with booty ideas.
Ian is always right.
ian crossland
None of those things are true.
tim pool
I'm absolutely brave enough to read it because it's funny.
unidentified
I love it.
lydia smith
It's freaking hilarious.
tim pool
Dylan Keller says, yo Cass, did you try Cyberpunk 2077?
cassandra fairbanks
I hate it.
tim pool
You do?
cassandra fairbanks
I hate it.
I wanted my money back immediately.
tim pool
I played it for 10 minutes and I saw it.
ian crossland
I still haven't played it.
I watched a lot of gameplay.
cassandra fairbanks
I was so excited because I love Witcher 3.
It's the best game ever.
I've played it all the way through probably 10 times.
And so I was like really amped for Cyberpunk.
I pre-ordered it like a year in advance or something absurd.
I've never been so disappointed in a game.
I don't even like to talk about it.
I'm bitter.
ian crossland
Is it because of the glitches?
cassandra fairbanks
No, it's because the game was horrible.
The reason why Witcher was so great is it was beautiful.
Like, you watch it and it's visually stunning and the story is so cool and there's all these little games and things you can do inside of it.
Cyberpunk is like...
hideously ugly and just, I hate it.
I hated it.
ian crossland
There's no, like, Gwent in it?
No, no card game, sub game or anything?
cassandra fairbanks
No, not that I got to.
tim pool
I played it for more than 10 minutes.
I played it for probably a half an hour and then I just stopped playing it.
lydia smith
Impressive.
tim pool
I didn't even get to the glitches.
I was just like, the first thing I did was, okay, how do I switch to third person?
ian crossland
Oh.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, that's what bothered me too.
I love playing third person.
I want to see my character.
I want to, I hated it.
unidentified
I like switching.
tim pool
So like with Witcher, it's third person.
With Skyrim, it's both.
And I like, so particularly with Skyrim, when you're traversing, I like being third person.
So I'm, you know, running somewhere.
And then when I go to combat, I like to switch.
With Cyberpunk, it was just like, no, it's forced first person.
And I was kind of like, eh.
cassandra fairbanks
It was basically like Grand Theft Auto with a bunch of degenerate stuff.
lydia smith
I love it.
cassandra fairbanks
I hated it.
I'm really angry about it actually.
I wanted my money back.
tim pool
I think I got a refund.
They manually did it for everybody.
I'm going to wait like a year.
unidentified
I don't know.
ian crossland
I got Witcher 3.
It's still in the pipeline.
I just haven't played it yet.
cassandra fairbanks
It's one of the best games apparently.
ian crossland
I put like 15 hours into it.
I like it more than Skyrim.
Because I'm just collecting herbs and crafting and stuff.
cassandra fairbanks
Kingdom Come is great too.
Those are like my three favorite games.
ian crossland
Yeah, I got that one too in the pipeline.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So should we do a video game podcast, apparently?
lydia smith
That'd be so fun.
cassandra fairbanks
I love video games.
unidentified
All right.
ian crossland
Even just a review.
unidentified
All right.
ian crossland
That'd be awesome.
tim pool
Davey Bowie-Skock says, I'm in Seattle.
I don't like the they keep voting for it, they deserve it argument.
Sure.
I'll get right on amassing tyrannical powers to force my neighbors to vote my way.
Tim, you live in America.
You elected Biden.
Nah.
Well, for one thing, I will say I totally recognize that Joe Biden just blew up a bunch of Syrians and went to war and I complain about it and I don't like it and I vote against it.
And there's a big difference between Joe Biden blowing up where I live and Joe Biden blowing up other places.
I wouldn't like either of it, but I will tell you this.
If I was in a place, say, I don't know, the Philadelphia suburbs, and Black Lives Matter kept rioting and there were crazy, you know, shootouts, I would leave.
Okay, I did.
So, look, I get it, man.
I'm not trying to rag on you.
I'm just saying, I understand there are people who are trapped there.
So that argument isn't about the people who can't leave because they can't afford it or otherwise.
I'm saying, for the people who vote for it, why should I feel bad for them?
Like, the people who live in these areas that keep voting like 80% Democrat.
I understand there's a decent amount of people who don't like it.
You know what?
I'm just going to be harsh and say, you've got to find a way to get out.
When I lived in Chicago, I sold everything.
I had a couple hundred bucks, found a ride share to California, and I had a backpack.
And I was homeless.
I just went.
I'm like, I don't care.
And within a couple of days, I had a job, I had a place to live, and I figured it out.
Maybe not everybody can do it.
Maybe if you have a family, it's a lot harder.
But I would say if you are in Portland or Seattle and you don't like what's happening, you need to sell stuff and then find a new job in a different place and get away from this.
Life isn't easy.
cassandra fairbanks
Only come to West Virginia, though, if you're extremely red.
Otherwise, you'll hate it.
lydia smith
We're terrible.
tim pool
No, but they will hate it, though.
They actually will.
It's crazy.
cassandra fairbanks
We have Confederate flags everywhere.
We play the banjo.
There's Bigfoot.
Don't do it.
tim pool
There's like 10 Bigfoot.
And they know if you're a Democrat.
cassandra fairbanks
The Snarly Yow.
It's like a wolf Bigfoot.
tim pool
And the Yowgwai.
You know the Yowgwai?
ian crossland
Yeah, one of them from Fallout.
cassandra fairbanks
Mothman.
tim pool
Mothman.
Yep, they all hang out together.
And you'll be like, you'll be in West Virginia, and they'll all come see you and they'll have pipes.
unidentified
And then they'll be like, liberals come out to play!
tim pool
And monsters will come at you.
cassandra fairbanks
We'll take the red though.
We'll take the red refugees.
tim pool
Dude, to be honest though, if you were an urban liberal, you would not want to live there.
Because you have to actually work, you know?
cassandra fairbanks
We have a couple liberals in my area, but they're more like Dixiecrats.
They're not woke.
tim pool
I don't know who would want to live in a rural area who was a Democrat.
They come out there and they complain about everything.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
It's like you really need to visit with like an Airbnb for a few days and then consider, do you want to deal, like you need a gun.
You definitely need a gun.
There's no police, you know, where most places you might have a sheriff's office.
They can get to your house in about 40 minutes.
So you're going to want to buy guns and you're going to need to know how to use them.
And your kids are going to need to know how to use them as well.
I'm not even kidding.
That's true.
If your kids are in an area and there's a dangerous criminal and you didn't teach your kids proper gun safety, you're gonna regret it.
So I don't think any of these liberals want their kids learning how to use guns.
I'd imagine they would not be happy with that.
Leftists, on the other hand, probably would be okay with it.
Leftists seem to like guns.
All right.
Nilly Boomer says, you can't just have no Luke and not even explain it.
Well, we explained it later on.
Everyone in the comments were like, where's Luke?
ian crossland
You got to follow him on Instagram so that you can follow his adventures.
Yeah.
cassandra fairbanks
He's always been like that.
I've known Luke for, God, probably over a decade now.
He's always been a wonder.
I used to message him and be like, hey, what country are you in?
tim pool
Yeah, y'all are lucky he was here as long as he was.
Because every day he was like, so when are we leaving?
And I'm like, dude, we can't just, we got to go on a road trip and do a tour.
And I'm like, okay, we'll do a tour, but we got to like, so we actually are going to do a tour.
We're going to do a tour and we're going to do live.
This is a really awesome idea we had.
Luke and I were talking about how to do a Timcast IRL on the road with live events.
And so one person asked about when are we going to do these live events at the, you know, here on the ground at the facility?
Soon, it's just cold.
So now that it's warming up, we're going to finish out the venue and then do limited sized events.
You know, there's still cover restrictions, but I think we're allowed to have up to 50 people.
So it will be a whole lot of fun.
And we'll get, you know, we'll book people and we'll do maybe like we'll do some kind of live show on a weekend.
But for the road trip, we've got a couple RVs, and we will do the show, the podcast, in the RV.
We'll spend a week in, I think we're planning right now to do Nashville, then Austin, and then probably Nashville again, but I'm not sure, maybe a different city.
And that's just because we stop, spend a week there, hit Texas, spend a week in Texas, go back.
lydia smith
It's gonna be so fun.
tim pool
And then we're trying to do it so that Friday nights we'll actually have the podcast set up in a venue with like a thousand seats and people can buy tickets to come and watch the podcast like this live on a Friday night.
And the super chats will just be the audience questions, which will be really, really awesome.
That's the plan for now.
We'll see if we can make it happen because venues are like closed.
So who knows?
But that's what we're gonna be doing.
So there you go.
And Luke is on vacation because Luke's life is a vacation.
And I don't know when he'll be back.
If he will be back, we'll find out.
unidentified
Hey!
ian crossland
You can follow Luke at WeAreChange on YouTube.
LukeWeAreChange on Instagram, and you can watch him travel around.
tim pool
We've got to read a bunch more.

IsTheSqueezeSquoze.com?
cassandra fairbanks
IsTheSqueezeSquoze.com.
tim pool
It's like a question.
Oh, IsTheSqueezeSquoze.com.
Ah, it's a question.
cassandra fairbanks
I've been checking that.
tim pool
If we hold, it will be $4,200.69 per share.
Whoa.
Together strong.
It's a gorilla.
Gorilla together strong.
Hold the line.
You know, when they started posting all the Gorilla memes, I was like, this is the perfect opportunity for the I Am A Gorilla shirt.
I wonder if people would accidentally buy that thinking it was in some way related.
Maybe we need to make a special version where he's holding money and he's got sunglasses on and he's wearing them.
Oh, we should totally do that.
I didn't want to co-opt Wall Street Bets though, by doing it.
Cause we already had the I Am A Gorilla shirt, but maybe we can give them like stacks of cash and do special edition versions.
We do have one.
It's going to go up soon.
It's the I Am A Gorilla Love Yourself.
And he's giving a thumbs up and winking.
ian crossland
Dude, we could do like the gorilla on the beach sitting in a like a beach chair with a drink with sunglasses on.
We'd do a whole line.
unidentified
So much you can do.
tim pool
I am a gorilla.
It's the mascot now, I guess.
James Fox says, Hey Tim, I'm a Republican living in New York's 18th district and I plan on running for Congress.
I'd love to come on your show.
I've reached out on Instagram.
I hope you reach out soon.
James Fox.
Um, email's probably better, but, you know, we get inundated with so many emails, and people DM me on Instagram, and I was like, oh, I'll check, and I checked, and there's like 10,000 messages I can't sort through, so I just can't really do anything.
But, uh, we have, um, what's a good email?
Maybe info at Timcast?
lydia smith
Yeah, spintheufo is good, too, if you want me to look at it.
You still check that one?
tim pool
Yeah, I check it.
lydia smith
Yeah, okay.
tim pool
Spintheufo at gmail.com is more of just like, I guess, general posts.

Matthew Reckamp says, A few streams ago, someone was asking about book recommendations.
I recommend the author Dakota Kraut.
Tim and friends might particularly like the Artorians Archive series.
Think John Wick as a philosopher, foster parent in a medieval setting with magic.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Interesting.
The Civic Nationalist says, Ian, I'm not white, I'm British.
British.
To say I'm white is to compare me and my culture to the French, Germans, Spanish.
Stop applying your-ish American politics to my country.

Thank you.

No.

No.

The Irish guy gets stopped at a checkpoint and he's just yelling at these cops about the COVID lockdown.
I think I did see it.
cassandra fairbanks
Was it a little old?
tim pool
I don't think it's old.
I mean, maybe like a week or so.
cassandra fairbanks
Maybe longer.
tim pool
But the cop is like, do you watch the news, sir?
Because he calls it a scamdemic.
And he's like, do I watch the news?
And then he's like, RTE?
And he goes, RTE is shite.
And then he's like, what about the BBC?
And he goes, oh, the Crown News Service!
It was just so good.
Old Irish guy.
lydia smith
Amazing.
Listening to too much Irish rebel music.
tim pool
Alright, alright.
Jim Farm says, If you want to unite humanity, then it is Christianity we are all equipped in God's eye, we are all rebels, sinners.
None is righteous, not one, and there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one Christ Jesus.
I wonder how that jives with the gender ideology stuff.
That quote.
lydia smith
You're kind of seeing it play out a little bit on Twitter right now.
ian crossland
It'd be incredible if we could all live Christian.
Dismiss with religion and just be unified.
lydia smith
Like Jesus wanted us to be?
ian crossland
Yeah!
He didn't care about religion.
He was like a Jew that had given it up and was more interested in communication.
tim pool
I don't know.
I think if you, we should have Seamus on, he would, he would be like Ian.
ian crossland
He would school you.
He knows a lot about Catholicism.
tim pool
Definitely.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
We got one for Cassandra.
Ken W says, for Cassandra, Asian kids grow up watching anime, which aren't infected with wokeness yet.
Also for brokerage, I highly recommend opening a Roth IRA with Charles Schwab and invest in their ETFs.
Cool.
cassandra fairbanks
I have been very interested in Roth IRAs and also everybody knows I love anime.
tim pool
Which anime?
cassandra fairbanks
Oh, I love so many animes.
I don't know.
Do you want to know my favorite one?
unidentified
Yeah, of course!
tim pool
Are we going to start an anime podcast?
cassandra fairbanks
I'm down.
My favorite one is Steins Gate.
Hands down.
Love Steins Gate.
I've been watching Neverland.
What's it called?
The Neverland one.
I don't know.
Finding Neverland?
No.
tim pool
Finding Neverland?
No, that's like a movie, isn't it?
cassandra fairbanks
Something like that.
lydia smith
Michael Jackson.
cassandra fairbanks
That one's really great.
It's about these demons who are farming human children because they have a pact with the human world where they're going to stop fighting with each other, but the humans had to leave some humans behind for them to breed to eat.
unidentified
Wow.
cassandra fairbanks
And so it's great.
It's on season two right now.
I'm a little bit upset at season two because Emma, this character is Horrible, and it's ruining the whole thing for me.
I can't stand her because she's softie who doesn't want to kill the demons even though they ate her family.
What?
I can't deal.
Anyway, yeah.
Anime's great.
Agreed.
tim pool
Yeah, absolutely.
All right.
RapZack says, ATF wants to remember Waco.
As a Texan, we know the story.
Kids were murdered.
I have visited the site.
WTF.
Makes me sick.
But what makes me vomit is that I am not surprised.
Yeah, man.
For real.
John Mayer says Dr. Seuss was cancelled from Virginia School District.
Think left, think right.
Think low, think high.
Oh, the things you can think if only you try.
Dr. S. Yeah.
cassandra fairbanks
I was conflicted about that because I kind of hate Dr. Seuss.
lydia smith
Yeah, he's not my favorite.
cassandra fairbanks
He was a war propagandist.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Oh, really?
Yeah.
lydia smith
Was he anti-Semitic?
cassandra fairbanks
No, he was Jewish.
lydia smith
He was a propagandist.
cassandra fairbanks
And he accused everybody else of being anti-Semitic.
lydia smith
Gotcha.
cassandra fairbanks
Very, very woke.
I actually, I love Dr. Seuss books, but I hated his war propaganda.
So I remember that.
He was touchy.
tim pool
Stinky Ugly says, defund the ATF.
They make laws about things they don't understand.
lydia smith
Literally.
tim pool
I think leftists would agree with that.
They like guns.
cassandra fairbanks
That's true.
I mean, as long as you're not talking about liberals and Democrats, like the actual left does.
tim pool
No, like actual leftists, you know.
cassandra fairbanks
There's a lot of things that, like, we could agree on if they weren't bat... crap.
Crazy.
tim pool
Well, the problem with leftists is that they're more likely to ally themselves with the establishment Democrats.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
And while there is a problem, in my opinion, with the establishment Republicans, the Republicans are just so incredibly feckless and weak.
Like, Republican leadership is an oxymoron.
Save Trump, you know.
Mitch McConnell is just one of the most spineless politicians I've ever seen.
He, like, he votes to acquit Trump and then complains about him.
It's like, come on, man.
Look, I'd have infinitely more respect if he just said, I don't like Donald Trump.
I'd be like, well, at least he's being honest.
He's not even being honest about that.
I don't know what the guy likes.
He's like scared of a turtle.
He's a turtle guy and he's scared of everybody.
There you go.
Clef the Misfit says, Tim, stop saying the GOP can't win without Trump.
There's this man you may have heard of.
His name is Ron DeSantis.
He is a significantly more disciplined and principled choice for 2024.
I agree a little bit.
I think you disagree, maybe?
cassandra fairbanks
I really like DeSantis.
I don't like a bill that he signed, which I view as anti-free speech.
tim pool
Which one was that?
cassandra fairbanks
He signed a BDS law.
And I actually kind of side with the left on this because I think it's a free speech issue.
I think you should be able to boycott any nation that you please.
tim pool
That's the crazy thing that really annoys me is, like, when I'll speak up to, like, defend an American's right to speak, and then I'll get these leftists being like, I don't hear you standing up for free speech when the left is censored, and I'm like, oh, why?
What happened?
And they're like, the BDS thing, and I was like, okay, okay, first of all, I do defend their right to free speech, but more importantly, that's not America!
Okay, I'm not- I'm not a staunch nationalist.
I'm just kind of like, don't be surprised if I see an American citizen kicked off a platform where people are talking with the president, and I get upset by it, and I'm not super concerned about Israel and- and boycotts, but- but...
Just rest assured, I care very, very much about Middle Eastern foreign conflict, Israel and all that stuff.
And absolutely, in numerous instances, I have defended the right of the left.
I actually go out of my way to be like, is there something from the left where they're getting censored on BDS?
Because I want to make sure they know, I support your free speech.
I might disagree with a lot of them on all these things.
Disagree with the alt-right and stuff on their speech, but they're allowed to speak.
And then you've got to challenge those ideas.
Trucker Wall says the retaliation to Waco was the OKC bombing.
I hope we never see something like that again.
That's why the government needs to stop suppressing citizens and stop the woke craziness.
Is that true?
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
Timothy McVeigh was mad about Waco.
Wow, really?
unidentified
Crazy.
Wow.
tim pool
What was the building that got bombed?
It was a federal building, right?
cassandra fairbanks
Wasn't it the ATF building?
tim pool
Wow.
cassandra fairbanks
The problem is that there was a daycare on the first floor.
He really should have looked into that.
tim pool
Wow.
I mean, he really should have not blown up.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, but also don't blow up right next to the daycare.
tim pool
That's the biggest problem I have with the left and terror in general is the targeting of non-combatants.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, I'm not— I think internally in the U.S., violence is wrong, and I think the issue is, look at us, like, we're sitting here on a decently high-profile show, talking, you know, poorly about a government agency.
about the crimes they committed.
And there are a large of Americans who know this.
It is bad for them.
cassandra fairbanks
I just want to say, obviously he shouldn't have bombed.
That's not what I meant.
I didn't mean that that was the only, like that it was good other than the daycare.
I'm just saying like he, the daycare thing, that's really makes it extra bad.
That was really upsetting.
I remember the footage of the little, little shoes and stuff.
tim pool
Now this is a really good super chat.
BadAdam12 says, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
Yeah, that's right.
cassandra fairbanks
I want that on a t-shirt.
tim pool
Yeah, I'll get a carton of Marlboro Box 100s.
Let's see what you got.
Delirium.
Ooh, I'll take a couple of those.
And I'll take that 5.56 pistol.
ian crossland
America.
tim pool
America.
Let's see.
Do we have another one?
Zach.
Helk?
Is that an I?
Every time Cassandra is on, I learn something new.
In this case, about Waco.
Also, she tells the kinds of jokes I do that no one gets, so I respect her for that as well.
Well, there you go.
lydia smith
Someone understands you!
unidentified
Somebody gets me!
lydia smith
Yes!
tim pool
iElite says, Tim was offended by Gorilla's shirt maxing out at 2XL.
I am so offended that I lost 42 pounds in the last 24 days.
I will be small enough by the end of March maintaining this.
Expect a disgruntled image of me later.
Offended.
lydia smith
I'm impressed.
tim pool
I don't think I was offended by it.
lydia smith
Awesome.
ian crossland
Very cool.
tim pool
I think I mentioned when Etho was on that a lot of the shirts that we've sold are 2XL.
I wouldn't say the majority.
It's not a plurality.
There's just a lot of them, I noticed.
So I think, you know, we were talking about it.
Ethan, who famously lost ton of weight, said, just don't expect it all to happen at once and just moderation and, you know, vigilance, I guess, diligence.
My thing is, you know, go for a walk, man.
I think a lot of people aren't getting enough vitamin D, especially if you're staying inside too much, playing video games, watching movies, especially with the lockdown.
If you can get outside and go for a walk, even for like a half an hour, it's amazing.
The sights you will see.
lydia smith
Serotonin.
tim pool
Yeah, everything.
cassandra fairbanks
All the places you'll go.
tim pool
Yes, exactly.
cassandra fairbanks
Canceled.
lydia smith
Is that Dr. Seuss?
tim pool
I was a I was outside earlier I'm just so excited for the weather.
Me too.
I can't wait until we can have events and shows and bands and everything and just barbecue, man.
I can't wait to grill.
We got a bunch of steaks.
We're going to grill.
It's going to be fantastic.
When we have these events, they're not going to be super big.
It's going to be like 50 people.
But we're gonna have drinks, sodas, it's gonna be like a big barbecue gathering.
ian crossland
I believe we just got a drum kit, right?
tim pool
We have a drum kit coming.
ian crossland
Oh, that's exciting.
tim pool
We are going to have bands and it's going to be...
It's gonna be...
They're private events, but the tickets will be publicly available.
But it's interesting because it's still technically private because it's exclusive to members only.
So it'll be really interesting.
cassandra fairbanks
I miss concerts.
tim pool
We're gonna have bands play in the venue shed thing.
cassandra fairbanks
I'll be here.
tim pool
Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
cassandra fairbanks
Coming over all the time.
tim pool
And then when we're like, you know, come to the event and, you know, special guest Cassandra Fairbanks, we'll sell out instantly.
cassandra fairbanks
Yeah, from people coming here to throw things at me.
tim pool
Oh, but we'll have security.
Plus, we're armed to the teeth out here, so everybody... That's true.
Gonna get hit with tomatoes.
Alright, let's see.
We'll just read a couple more.
Logan Orr says OKC Bomber was also mad about the AR ban Clinton passed.
Oh yeah.
cassandra fairbanks
An interesting thing.
Timothy McFay became friends with Ted Kaczynski in prison.
I just learned that recently.
That's weird.
tim pool
Katie says, but Cassandra, we get censored from them and get denied our free speech.
Do you think we should fight fire with fire?
cassandra fairbanks
Are we talking about the left?
tim pool
I think, yeah, BDS.
cassandra fairbanks
Oh, well, yes and no.
I think that censoring or pushing for censorship in any way is not good.
It's not fighting fire with fire because it's going to get used against us.
tim pool
It's like burning your house down because you're mad that your neighbor, you're hoping your neighbors will catch on fire too.
cassandra fairbanks
A lot of the times I'm like, well, let's do to them what they do to us.
We have to play by their rules.
It's Olinsky, right?
But not in the case of censorship.
I think it's too serious.
It's too much of a problem.
And it's dangerous.
I don't think we should mess with it at all.
And I will never support anyone on the left, right, anywhere getting censored.
I just don't.
tim pool
Yeah, I agree.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, I think we have to make fun of Cuomo.
ian crossland
Thank God.
tim pool
Yes.
And I'll tell you this.
They didn't... Cassandra and I were talking about this and it was kind of like we were talking and then I stole the idea for the tweet that they didn't call for Cuomo's resignation when he killed all those people in nursing homes.
It was only after he got Me Too'd that they were like, Off with his head!
And it's like, he has 13,000 dead people.
I mean, maybe, I don't know, I guess not.
So we'll talk about that over at TimCast.com.
Make sure you go and sign up.
That should be up in about an hour or so.

Cassandra, did you want to mention anything before we jump over to the members-only stuff?
cassandra fairbanks
Um, I'm on Twitter at Cassandra Rules, at least for now, and then I'm over on Parler, Gab, Clubhouse, all that other stuff.
Feel free to follow.
tim pool
And very soon we're gonna have a creepy cults crime podcast.
cassandra fairbanks
Yes!
lydia smith
Yes, I'm excited!
tim pool
Probably, I don't know when, you know, it's gonna happen, and I think it'll be Sundays, but it might be, like, live Monday night or something.
No, I think maybe it's got to go up on Sunday.
We'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out.
It's going to be a produced show.
It's not going to be a big newsy show.
It's going to be more of like a mystery topics and stuff.
So it can be evergreen.
cassandra fairbanks
People have been asking me to do a podcast like that for years because I'm so obsessed with this weird stuff.
tim pool
It's gonna be awesome.
unidentified
I'm excited.
tim pool
Then maybe we'll just press record and let you talk for an hour and then stop and we'll do 10 episodes in one day and then we'll be good for the year.
unidentified
No.
cassandra fairbanks
No.
I'm a terrible rambler, no.
lydia smith
Just ramble away.
ian crossland
Hey guys, you can follow me also at iancrossland.net.
I said something about Jesus earlier I wanted to...
I want to clarify, I don't think that he hated organized religion blanketly, but that he despised the corruption and the segregation brought on by that organization.
And I feel the same way about modern society.
So hopefully we can look past the confusion and the veil and come together as humans, like really, you know, do this, what I think he wanted.
And whoever all these other great prophets, thank you, Tim, for this opportunity.
I love you all.
And buy a mug on my website.
Capitalism ain't so bad if you do it right.
lydia smith
That's right.
And I am in the corner pushing buttons for these guys.
I'm super excited about the new potential podcast.
I'm Sour Patch Lids on Twitter and Mimes and I'm Real Sour Patch Lids on Instagram and Gab.
tim pool
So someone's asking, Heathen, AirsoftNJ says, how do I get an invite to play Airsoft at the Beanie Compound?
So the way it's working right now, because we don't really have this on the website, we're doing a new website redesign, everybody who's a $25 member or higher will get first notification of when we're doing events and first access towards buying the tickets.
I don't really like this kind of stuff because people who are $10 members are as equally as important to all of us.
The issue is we were trying to figure out the threshold to where we could make sure trolls wouldn't be coming and harassing us.
And it felt like, you know, look, we can provide a kind of like a premium access at 25 bucks or more membership where you'll get a day advance notice, which means You'll probably not be able to get a ticket if you're only a $10 member.
Again, I'm not a fan of the classes kind of stuff, of like, access is determined by money.
But we do have to consider that there are some bad actors who will try and get access to this house to figure out where it is, to come here and do bad things.
We gotta get security, cameras, and a bunch of stuff when we start doing this, so I was like, well, it's a benefit to those who support the show and give more, and it's kind of a paywall to block trolls, so...
That's how it'll happen, and we are going to have airsoft battles.
I think Luke was talking about the Daily Caller versus the Timcast IRL crew.
lydia smith
Yeah, the Riot crew.
tim pool
Yeah, the Daily Caller Riot crew versus the Timcast crew.
Because we can, and things like that will be happening.
I'm not entirely sure what the schedules will be or how many there will be, but I think we're going to do a decent amount.
Because we're really into having these events once it gets a little bit warmer.
So maybe in the next month or so, we're probably going to start planning this out in the next couple of weeks.
So maybe end of March might be the first event.
And we'll send out, we'll probably put a post on the website for people who are members at 25 or higher with a portal for getting tickets.
And there's probably only going to be like 50, so it'll be pretty tough, but you know.
I apologize, man.
I'm not a big fan of lotteries, but if there's high demand, there's only so much we can do.
I'll leave it there.
