Freedom Convoy truckers are warning nefarious elements may try to plant weapons in a false flag, stolen weapons
nonetheless, after 11 people were arrested with a weapons cache.
Bye!
They're trying everything they can to stop this group of protesters.
Doesn't seem to be working.
Trudeau's invoking these emergency powers for the first time.
He's being condemned widely for it.
And there's a really funny meme from Political Compass Memes because I retweeted Vosh who criticized Trudeau and they're like, what's happening?
You know, and it shows like a Stone Toss comic and it's like me and Vosh are like shaking hands.
And then people are commenting that Tim's a centrist, so this is not as shocking as people like think it is.
But anyway, it's kind of scary how far it's gone in Canada.
But I think it should bring about optimism because it shows you that these protests work.
We've also got the Ottawa police chief.
I believe he's the police chief, right?
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, he's resigned.
Yeah, slowly.
And another report saying that those donations that were being sent to the truckers, yeah, actually most of them came from Canada.
It was not America like Trudeau was trying to argue.
So we'll get into all of that stuff.
Plus we have a creepy CGI video.
The family of the cinematographer killed by Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit.
They've released a CGI video showing exactly how it went down, or at least the description of how it went down.
And as much as I don't like acting like CGI video is evidence, I think it will help people understand why Well, how it went down.
It was indoors.
It was in a tight, you know, this location.
You'll see what the building kind of looked like.
It's an artist's rendering of it.
I'm going to maintain my position.
I think, uh, I think Alec Baldwin killed that woman.
I don't, I think it may have been accidental, but I think it may have been just a fit of rage.
Something ain't right there.
And so with this new lawsuit, new information is coming out.
We're going to talk about all that.
Plus we have Remington settling a massive lawsuit, over $70 million.
And this one just makes absolutely no sense to me.
But joining us to talk about all of this is Mr. Drew Hernandez.

Let's check out that first big story from the Daily Mail.
Freedom Convoy leaders claim nefarious elements are planning to plant 2,000 stolen guns on protesters in Ottawa to discredit their movement after Mounties arrested 11 with cache of firearms in Alberta.
Convoy Security Chief Danny Bolford made the allegation in a video addressed late Monday night.
Claimed nefarious elements plan to plant firearms on demonstrators to discredit them.
Suggested the plot could be linked to a truck filled with guns stolen in Ontario early Sunday morning.
Police say that the truck was stolen as a crime of opportunity by crooks who first tried several other trucks.
But Bulford thinks it could be a dark plot to crack down after Trudeau's emergency declaration.
On Monday, Mounties seized 15 guns and arrested 11 at a border blockade in Cootes, Alberta.
Convoy leaders have declined to address the arrests, cutting off a press conference when asked about them.
I don't know about all that false flag stuff, conspiracy stuff, but I will say they're trying everything in their power to shut this down.
So what do you guys think in terms of plausibility for something like this?
drew hernandez
Well, I think from the very get-go, what's been happening in Canada, is just completely slanderous.
I mean, they've been calling them domestic terrorists.
They've been calling them a threat.
They've been calling them insurrectionists.
It's like the same buzzwords you see across the entire board.
They did the same thing with J6.
But this is interesting because there are legitimately peaceful people in this protest, but they still use these words and these slander against them.
So you have to ask yourself, like, you're seeing their federal government try so hard to slander who these people really are.
I mean, this is a protest With bounce houses and inflatables and there's children and people are just demanding freedom and it's like not violent but when you read something like that it's really not that too far off to be like, eh, maybe something like that could be going on because they're trying to slander these people from the very get-go.
chris karr
Well that's the problem is that the slander is not sticking, right?
So at this point they have to make these people look violent and I think they would probably resort to any means in order to do that.
tim pool
Yeah, I'm not one for these kinds of conspiracies, you know, show me show me the hard evidence speculation But the challenge I suppose though is they've tried everything, you know, they've tried claiming this violence.
They've tried They've tried using the swastika they did.
ian crossland
What was this Confederate flag?
They haven't done the n-word yet None of it is working.
drew hernandez
Yeah They're trying everything and anything to discredit people that just want freedom.
That's what people need to really... These are people demanding freedom.
They want bodily autonomy, right?
They're really not calling for anything else other than, we don't want to be forced to take a jab, right?
We want freedom.
That's what we want.
And it's crazy when you see them slander them as like, they're xenophobic.
When you have minorities or you have immigrants that are truckers in Canada.
tim pool
There's a viral video of these Indian guys, and they're on chairs or whatever, and they're bouncing and playing music, and everyone's dancing to it, and it's Punjabi music.
drew hernandez
Yeah, and those are the xenophobes, those are the racists, but it's these same buzzwords over and over again.
I think people really need to ask themselves, you gotta think about it invertedly, right?
If you're a totalitarian psychopath, Those people are terrorists in your eyes.
Those people are a problem.
Those people do pose a threat to you.
Because if you are a totalitarian psychopath, anyone that's demanding freedom in any way, shape, or form, by definition, that's what they are in your eyes.
And I think A lot of Canadians that are just kind of in the hive mind
right now and shout out to Canada.
I love the Canadians, man, but there's a lot of people out there that just eat up,
just like here in the United States, that eat up these lies and they just believe them and
they gravitate towards them. It's like, well, the government said so, so it must be true. But
these, in a sense, what I'm trying to say is they do, they are a threat to the regime.
They are terrorists to the regime because they pose a threat to what they want to control.
tim pool
If you're the high-life royalty atop your ivory tower and the peasants have made their way in, heavens!
Yeah, they're absolutely disruptive to your way of life.
drew hernandez
It's the Lord Farquaad mentality, right?
lydia smith
Yeah, 100%.
tim pool
Yes, exactly.
And I think people need to... Have you ever stopped to consider the perspective of Trudeau?
You know, he's sitting there minding his own business with his teen crumpets and expensive champagnes, when all of a sudden these dirty poors are trying to tell him what to do.
I mean, yeah, these people absolutely are terrorists going after him.
Oh, heavens.
chris karr
Well, yeah, he's given us explicit insight into how he views who he is versus who the deplorables are because that video that's recirculated lately of him talking about how much he admires China and the Chinese government for being able to, I think he said, be able to turn their economy around on a dime, whatever that means.
tim pool
And at the same time in that video, he also insults other people for, yeah, Harper, for wanting to be a dictator.
And it's like, What?
lydia smith
Project Butch?
ian crossland
One of the problems I've got with the trucking convo right now is I don't know what they want.
And that's, I'm confused.
tim pool
What are you talking about?
They want to end the vaccine mandates.
ian crossland
Yeah, but they want more.
I just watched a video with a trucker on national news somewhere.
I should find it on Twitter.
It was like British news or something.
And he was like, so what, what do you want?
And the guy's like, we want, you know, we want, we want, and he's like, you want to end the vaccine mandate?
He's like, yeah, we want to end that.
What else do you want?
We want freedom.
And I'm like, what is that? I think he wants like an American constitution, but it's vague. And so
tim pool
they don't know how to give it to him. If they tell you, Ian, we want to end the mandates and
you're expecting more than that. And what else? Once they do that, will you go home?
ian crossland
And then he was like saying there's more, but they want freedom. And like,
they want, just want freedom. Like, what does that even mean? And who are they talking to?
unidentified
I don't know, man.
tim pool
I'll see if I can pull this off.
The whole thing is about the VAX mandates, right?
And that's why they give you one response.
But of course, there's other things.
They want to be respected.
They want to be heard.
They're tired of the abuse.
I will say in response to this guy coming out and saying there's a potential false flag, smart.
Because they're going to smear him as crazy.
They're going to say, oh, he's a conspiracy theorist.
Well, better than letting them come with a big truckload of guns.
ian crossland
Yeah, the other part of what I was gonna say is I'm glad that this story is shouting out that there are leaders involved, because that was the problem with Occupy Wall Street is there was no leadership, and so there was no unified message, and it dissipated.
I hope that these leaders can put one together.
lydia smith
Yeah I think they do have very strong leaders and I know that one of the things that I was seeing from the press was they were saying that the word freedom has become supposedly a right-wing talking point and I was like there you go that's it that's how that's that's how everything's shaking out right now and that's how you know which side of history you want to be on.
Do you want to be on the side of history that says that freedom is a right-wing talking point Or do you actually care about freedom and want people to
make their own choices?
90% of truckers have gotten vaccinated and it's not enough for them.
They're still not allowing that last 10% to live freely and to work freely and to cross
the border freely.
That's all they want.
They just don't want the last 10% who feel like they shouldn't have to take it to have
to take it.
That's basically what they want.
That was their version of freedom.
drew hernandez
I was laughing this past weekend because the counter protesters started coming out.
You know, they're running around with their commie flags and all that.
unidentified
Right.
drew hernandez
And you see some of these protests.
I posted this on Twitter the other last weekend.
Some of them are like throwing themselves in front of trucks, like into oncoming traffic.
And it's like, so you're you're counter protesting people shutting down streets by shutting down streets and throwing yourself in front of oncoming traffic.
Because, you know, that just makes total sense.
chris karr
It really does, in a very counterintuitive, very human, ancient way.
They are advocating for enslavement.
They really are.
And that's not the first time this has happened.
Like, that does happen.
Sometimes, in certain cultures, people advocate for enslavement.
And they're literally doing that, and it's terrifying.
tim pool
There were a lot of people that were defending Ron DeSantis and Florida when they were passing this bill, the anti-riding law, that makes it a felony to block the roads in certain circumstances.
And I said, nah, man, you can't.
That's why I'm not in favor of that.
And we've had people come here and argue and say, no, there should be harsh penalties for these people.
And we always say this.
You pass a law, it will be used against you.
Now, of course, this is up in Canada, I know, not Florida, the same thing.
But if we want to have an American trucker protest, all of a sudden these anti-riot laws come into play.
The left will be laughing and being like, oh, you got what you asked for.
Here we go, baby.
We're going to start arresting all these guys on felony charges.
So I think you've got to give room to non-violent civil disobedience.
That being said, as for what's going on in Canada, Trudeau's lost the plot.
War powers or emergency powers or whatever he's doing over what?
Bouncy house?
Inflatables?
Jacuzzis?
It's over people not wanting to serve, not wanting to participate.
And so they're treating these people who are just saying no to the system as if they're violent extremists.
lydia smith
It is so interesting to me because this smacks of what America is trying to do by painting all right-wing people as a form of terrorists because one of the things that the emergency powers in Canada are supposed to do, they're supposed to protect Canadians from like actual threats to their physical well-being.
And I think it was Ben Shapiro I was listening to earlier today made the point about how there were riots in Canada like last year, not to the extent there were in the US, but the Black Lives Matter stuff was going on in Canada as well.
Never shut that down.
They never said we need emergency powers for that.
That was actually a threat to Canadian businesses and to Canadian lives and well-beings and they just didn't care.
This is different.
This is political.
This is deeply troubling to me.
I have a serious problem with this.
Not good.
tim pool
Yeah, Trudeau's, uh, he seems sad.
lydia smith
He seems worried.
tim pool
You know, you watch his videos and it's just like, yeah, he's talking with Biden.
He has no idea how to handle this.
And what he's doing now isn't working.
And that's, they're, they've, they're beyond desperate.
But what do they do?
What do you, what do you do?
You know, he's like, I'm not going to call in the military.
I won't do it.
But eventually, you know, if he moves in and uses force, it'll only make it worse.
So it's time, you know, he and the rest of them realized they lost.
It's over.
chris karr
Is this crackdown going to work?
I mean, after what, going on three weeks of this or two and a half or whatever it is, I'm really curious to know if this crackdown will work.
I don't know if it will or not.
ian crossland
Define work.
chris karr
Will it be a CCP style suppression of people that are literally advocating for freedom?
ian crossland
Like Tiananmen Square?
chris karr
Yeah, exactly.
ian crossland
Tanks rolling in?
chris karr
That's exactly what I'm thinking of.
Will they move into that realm of suppression?
And will it work?
Because it's worked over there.
ian crossland
Well, it works, but it works to get the trucks off the road.
But whether or not it works to preserve Canadian freedom, I don't think you can blast your own citizens and expect to
stay in power in this day and age.
Not in Canada.
drew hernandez
There's different arts of warfare, right?
There's obviously military powers, there's physical war, there's monetary, there's economic war, there's cyber warfare, there's all types of different ways you can go about taking your enemy out.
And I think they're clearly right now using psychological warfare, and they're shutting down bank accounts, they're trying to use economic warfare by drowning these people out.
They already took to the streets and tried to take their gas, but I think they're trying these different things, and in my opinion, I think they're pretty serious things.
I mean, when you're trying to, like, shut down someone's bank account because they're asking for freedom, that's a huge problem to me.
That's just as serious in my opinion.
ian crossland
Yeah, I could see, like, what is this, 24-year-olds gonna get their bank accounts shut down for the rest of their lives?
Is that the plan, Justin?
tim pool
Dude, without court orders, maybe this is just lining everybody up for when the social credit system comes in.
lydia smith
I was thinking, yeah.
tim pool
This is just prepping it all.
Or, you know, I was saying this story reminds me of Watchmen.
You know, maybe in order for them to, for the powerful elites to enact their one-world currencies or whatever, you know, international free trade agreements they want to get through, they need people to unify around a villain.
They embody all the things they don't want people to do, be jerks about it, and then everyone pulls back and does the opposite.
So, Bitcoin, for instance.
How do you get mass adoption of a different currency?
Destroy the other one?
Be a villain?
Make everyone think it's the safe haven?
unidentified
Quick!
tim pool
Everybody run!
Bitcoin's the only way to save you!
They're freezing our bank accounts!
Then all of a sudden everyone's using a global digital store of value that's trackable.
ian crossland
That's how they used to hunt buffalo, man.
They'd just chase them off a cliff, scare them to run towards wherever they thought was safe, and it happened to be a cliff that they would run off on.
tim pool
And then what, they would climb down and just pick them up?
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
That's how, don't tell like hawks and like falcons or whatever, they do that for goats.
lydia smith
Oh, maybe.
I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah, like the mountain goats will climb up and be licking salt or something, and then the big bird just swoops in and hits it, and then just flips off the cliff and slams it in the ground.
lydia smith
Oh yeah, I've seen them do that.
That's wild.
tim pool
Yeah, that's one way to do it.
That's one way to do it, man.
drew hernandez
You know, I think I saw a Trudeau quote earlier today.
I think he was saying, and I'm paraphrasing, someone could find this if they're listening.
He said somewhere near to the extent of, like, not only are these people that are the protesters, like, the ones that are unlawful, but those that are supporting it as well.
And, like, when you start to see stuff like that, that's when people need to seriously wake up.
Like, I don't care what your politics are, but when you see someone Saying like, okay, those people are wrong.
They should be silenced.
They don't have the right to protest or shut down a street, whatever, whatever.
But then when you hear someone start to say you can't even affiliate with those people, it's getting into some weird territory.
And I don't think, whatever your politics are, I think you should really take note of that because just being affiliated with someone and that's like breaking the law, It's pretty interesting.
ian crossland
Yeah, there's all the phone carriers that are giving truckers phone access right now.
drew hernandez
Like, how far does that go?
It's always these vague statements.
Like, what does that mean?
Like, what exactly does that mean to you?
tim pool
I saw a funny meme.
I want to highlight this story because I think it really is relevant.
From TimCast.com, first, I'll give you this.
Justin Trudeau invokes emergency powers in an effort to stop protests.
Trudeau's government has declared the ability to freeze bank accounts and suspend the rig insurance of truckers involved in the Freedom Convoy.
Now that's the story, which is the precursor to the actual story here.
I was browsing Reddit, as I often do.
Most of you know I'm, you know, flipping through Reddit all the time.
When I come across Political Compass memes, I'm a fan.
They've got 533,000 members.
And I see this, it says, Canada, what have you done?
And it shows Vosh's tweet.
For those unfamiliar, Vosh is a socialist YouTuber.
And then it says, Tim Pool retweeted.
And I'm like, I don't understand, what is this?
And I look down and they have a Stone Toss comic.
In the first panel it shows me, which they call me libertarian right, and Vosch, a leftist, and he reaches out his hand, we shake hands, and then we look over at Trudeau, who looks like some kind of hunchback goblin or whatever.
But the comments are then filled with people saying Tim Pool is lib center, not lib right.
But I think it's funny, Vosch tweeted, Trudeau explaining to his people how revocation of citizenship is the only way to protect Canada from the striking dairy queen workers.
And it's a really good tweet.
lydia smith
That's hilarious.
tim pool
And then it shows the Ingsoc 1984 big brother, all that stuff.
And I thought it was a fantastic tweet from Vaush, and so I retweeted it.
And I was like, yeah, right on.
And then he makes a bunch of other points following up on that thread, where he's like, how are you all not getting it?
That if they can freeze your bank without a court order, if you ever stage a general strike or try and stand up against these big corporations or the power of government, they will freeze you out.
I find that really funny.
As much as I agree with Vaush in that point, I'm like, dude, the vaccine mandates are worse than that.
The vaccine mandates are like, we can take away your money, and you're like, fine, I'll go, you know, I'll figure out another way to make money.
But the actual amendments are, you can't enter any of these buildings unless you inject this into your body.
You have no bodily autonomy.
Yo, if someone came to me and said, you have two choices.
We can take away your bodily autonomy and inject things into you against your will.
Or you can't use a bank.
I'd be like, yo, I'll figure out something else.
I got Bitcoin, I got crypto.
I'll barter.
I'll whittle a sailboat on a piece of wood and trade it to someone in exchange for a cheeseburger.
But if it's Vax Mandate, you can't even go inside the building to try and trade your little wooden sailboat.
So I don't understand how all of a sudden Vosh is like, this is the line for me.
You can't take my money.
It's like, but you're okay with them injecting people against their will?
Well look, at least on the one thing, we can agree.
So I will say, the meme is great.
Showing that whatever different factions we have here, everybody is unhappy with Trudeau.
And thinks it's really, really bad.
I will add though, the responses to Vosh's tweet, you got a lot of people on the left who are like, you're wrong on this.
It's good what he's doing.
lydia smith
Of course.
chris karr
Yeah.
As I was mentioning earlier, just pull up any one of Justin Trudeau's most recent, you know, uh, cycle of deranged tweets.
Check out those comments from Canadians that are in support of him, like full on, I mean, complete salute support of whatever their great prime minister wants to do.
ian crossland
I'm looking for the Abraham Lincoln, Justin Trudeau, uh, metaphors where they're like, sometimes you have to suspend habeas corpus.
chris karr
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah.
chris karr
That connection's there.
tim pool
Yo, man, if this is the direction we're going into... They're the ones who radicalize.
drew hernandez
They want to accuse their political opponents of being the ones that radicalize people.
But that's exactly what they do, because we know they accuse of what they're doing.
But, you know, I know a lot of people listen, and it's like, why does this...
political side always get to do that like they get to accuse their political opponents of doing exactly what they do but at the same time like that's their art like they they use all these buzzwords they slander they say you're this they say you're that and what that does is it radicalizes people to do stuff and take actions like when this all first started you guys remember the viral photo that went out of the guy with a face mask on literally try to run someone over in the trucker convoy in a jeep turned out to be like an antifa affiliate or something like that.
That's what I'm saying is this is dangerous.
When we all talk about rhetoric and talk about when people are talking about certain things,
there's freedom of speech, we understand that.
But they're the ones that use these buzzwords to get people radicalized where it actually
turns into real world violence and they don't say a word about it.
They just let it go by because they're justified.
They're justified in their own minds because if you're a terrorist then you have every
right to protect yourself because they're going to hurt you and your family somewhere
down the line because they're the scary truckers.
They're the ones that radicalize people.
ian crossland
That's what I didn't get is you're supposed to protect other people's rights until they're proven guilty.
So why all of a sudden, just because the word terrorist gets involved, do we not protect their rights anymore?
I don't like that.
That's a new thing as of like 2001.
tim pool
Yeah, a lot of people pointed out how scary it was.
I was listening to Dave Smith on Joe Rogan.
Did you guys listen to that one?
Dave's great.
He was talking about Brian Stelter and he was saying that misinformation is dangerous and putting out a story claiming that certain tragic events didn't happen is dangerous.
And then Dave Smith is like, Barack Obama signing the indefinite detention provision and the media not covering it is dangerous.
Yes.
ian crossland
I love him, man.
tim pool
That's true.
ian crossland
Laser focused.
tim pool
A lot of people don't know this, but back in 2012, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act, which included a provision that said the U.S.
government can detain you Anywhere on the planet, without charge or trial.
And it should have been the biggest news.
The anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian types are all screaming about it, the activists.
I made a video about it way back in the day, and Brian Sutter is angry that people are posting nonsense on social media.
That's what you get from CNN.
But look, nobody watches CNN.
Their ratings are in the gutter, and this is exactly why.
And that's the point Dave was making.
He was like, have you ever self-reflected and asked yourself why it is people believe these YouTube videos or believe these conspiracy videos?
Why is it they don't trust you anymore?
It's because you don't tell the truth.
It's because you're not talking about things people care about.
So you're not interesting.
But more importantly, it's because you lie.
drew hernandez
And you spend... CNN just spends all of their time telling you, like, why you shouldn't listen to somebody, rather than just, like, telling the truth in and of itself.
Or even, like, presenting the truth as, like, a counter-argument to whoever they're trying to debunk.
They just, like, sit there and they tell you who's dumb, who's stupid, you shouldn't listen to, they're right-wing and they're just, like, not a credible source.
It's like, if that's become your news organization, you're no longer a news organization.
You just have a very, very strong opinion, which is fine, but don't call yourself a reliable source.
It's ridiculous, dude.
It's literally ridiculous at this point.
At one point, I want people to ask themselves, are you offended by this?
Do I need CNN to lecture me about what's true and what's not?
Am I too stupid to think for myself?
Like, why don't people ask themselves these questions, especially with the whole Joe Rogan thing?
It's ridiculous, dude.
Like, why is Brian Stelter triggered that Joe Rogan used the N-word?
It's like, dude, who cares?
ian crossland
Someone told him to be triggered about it.
drew hernandez
Exactly!
Who cares at this point if Joe Rogan used the N-word?
Who gets exclusive rights to a certain word?
Listen, if you are a certain color, if you are a race, and you literally declare that I have exclusive rights to a certain word because of my racial superiority, you're a racist.
I don't care what color you are, if that's your thinking, that's what you are.
And I know a bunch of black people are going to be triggered, but I don't care at this point.
All the white liberals are going to be triggered, but I don't care.
tim pool
I got to correct you.
It's going to be the white liberals.
drew hernandez
The white liberals.
It's always the white liberals that are like, in my comment section, oh, you don't know, you don't know this.
I'm like, dude, nobody cares.
It's funny.
Joe Rogan's funny.
ian crossland
Who cares?
drew hernandez
How come you guys didn't care before?
tim pool
I'm pretty sure.
ian crossland
How long have those clips been out?
drew hernandez
How long have those clips of Joe Rogan been in existence?
chris karr
That was the interesting thing.
I think it was Brian Seltzer that let that slip through.
He was just like, the only reason... I'm paraphrasing, but he was just like, the reason that this video of the N-word is resurfacing is because of his vaccine misinformation.
Like, he literally just kind of like, gave the game away.
The whole con, you know?
And I mean, he's right.
He actually like, said something that was truthful.
The vaccine stuff that they're trying to push isn't working.
And they isolated Joe Rogan.
They were just like, let's attack other things that he said.
tim pool
There was a period for several years where I felt like the mainstream corporate press was doing such a miserable job.
They had to be corrected and called out.
Now at this point when I'm seeing so few people actually watch them, I'm like, maybe we shouldn't even bother talking about them because now it's just punching down, you know?
Like, let's be real.
They're not trustworthy.
People don't trust them.
People don't watch them.
I mean, YouTube forces CNN down people's throats, and Rachel Maddow still plays well for the boomer crowd, but the boomer crowd's aging out of relevance of our society. You know, and you know, just to
be light about it, but they're no longer in the workforce. They're moving out of the workforce. They're
moving out of the voting pool.
For some reason, there still are elected representatives, but the boomers are kind
of aging out. Gen Xers will be aging out 15, 20 years, completely out.
Millennials will be here for some time.
Gen Z's aging in.
And at this point, I'm just like, yo, if we're not watching this stuff, and they've become irrelevant, and the only people they're relevant to are the people who aren't as active as the rest of us, I think at a certain point, you cross that hill.
You know what I mean?
You're climbing uphill, challenging the mainstream press, and then one day you realize they're just not relevant to this world anymore.
chris karr
Yeah, that is kind of a soft rule that I have in the newsroom when I speak to our journalists, you know, because a lot of times we'll pitch stories about, oh, well, CNN did this deranged thing today, or MSNBC had this ridiculous comment today.
It's just like, generally speaking, I don't think we should be covering corporate press unless it's something especially egregious and especially insane.
Sure.
Because it would be endless.
And I've had that conversation with our writers.
It's just like, it would just be an endless cycle of like, Psycho says this, and do we have to cover Psycho says this?
And I mean, we can't really do that.
Except for one writer who is especially triggered by anything that Leanna Wynn says.
And I am too.
So it's just like, all right, let's see what Leanna Wynn said.
tim pool
She's off the rocker.
I mean, Dave Smith was also talking about this with Rogan.
Rogan brought it up that she's saying like, unvaxxed people shouldn't be allowed to leave their homes.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you know, I hear that and I'm listening to it and it's funny, but at a certain point I'm like, does it matter anymore?
ian crossland
Yeah, I agree with you.
tim pool
If we get to the point where the truckers are just going to do their thing and Trudeau can't stop it, we get to the point where we all wake up one day and say, Joe Biden is not relevant to my life.
Trudeau, for those in Canada, not relevant to my life.
What matters is what we have faith and what we have confidence in.
And this system ain't working.
You know what I mean?
So if people just woke up one day and said, I'm not going to comply or participate in your garbage.
I'm going to do my own thing.
It would change instantly.
And you look at what's happening now.
This is funny.
It was, you know, I remember it was a month or two ago when Luke was here and I said, I think the mandates are going to get worse.
I think they're going to lock down hard.
And Luke said he didn't think so.
I think I had a good reason to think that.
Frederick County, for instance, just reintroduced mask mandates.
They were trying to bring them back, but the pushback was too great and I didn't count on that.
You know, maybe I was a little too pessimistic.
Luke had that one right.
You look at what's happening in Canada.
Now, all of a sudden, DC, who just started putting in place his mandates, goes, oh, we're getting rid of all of them.
All the mandates are gone now.
Frederick County is now pulling their mandate back.
After what, a month?
Because they realized it wasn't working anymore.
lydia smith
No one cares.
tim pool
And if no one cares, guess what happens?
You've got to maintain this facade that you have power.
And that if you do something, people will obey it.
But if they enact this mask mandate and no one obeys it, and half the people in Frederick County weren't doing it, this is in Maryland, by the way, then all of a sudden people start to realize, hey, wait a minute.
The government can't do anything about anything.
I mean, take a look at speeding, for instance.
Everybody speeds.
Literally everyone.
To the point where you're never going to get, for the most part, you can get singled out.
But everybody speeds, you don't get pulled over.
Why?
Because there's not enough cops to pull everybody over when they're speeding about five miles over the limit.
ian crossland
And the wonderful thing is if everyone's speeding together, it's safer to speed.
You actually get a ticket for going the speed limit at that point.
If it's a 60 mile an hour zone and everyone's going 80, you better be going 80 because that's how you drive safe.
And the cop will pull you over if you're not going the speed of traffic.
chris karr
But what you're saying is it's happening at scale in Ottawa.
I mean, there was an unnamed source.
I forget which Canadian outlet that it was reported in, but an unnamed source in the police department says that they're paralyzed.
They said they're totally paralyzed by what's happening in the streets of Ottawa with this protest.
And that's right.
There's nothing that they can literally do about it.
There's too many people speeding.
tim pool
So if we get to the point where people keep leaving cities, they start moving out to the middle of nowhere, if more and more people start learning how to be responsible for themselves, then eventually we could wake up one day and there's just some pathetic shell of a federal government we don't pay attention to.
chris karr
That's a really warm, soothing thought, isn't it?
tim pool
Libertarian spectrum rejoice for all I know.
drew hernandez
I just think it's the general public.
How many photos of Gavin Newsom do you need to see with him without a mask on at a gathering with thousands of people?
Or with Magic Johnson and Mayor Eric Garcetti?
How many of these do you need to see that, like, hey, This isn't actually the reality they're claiming it really is.
ian crossland
How many judges do you have to see that wear white wigs before you realize what a facade this is right now?
tim pool
Are judges wearing white wigs?
ian crossland
People wear, like, big costumes and stuff when they're adjudicating.
And, like, all over the world they do this weird parliamentary crap to make them stand out.
tim pool
I think Ian just rolled two 20s.
That wasn't just a 20, Ian.
That was double.
ian crossland
Confirmed the crit.
tim pool
Confirmed crit.
I gotta tell you, man.
Uh, the suit wearing, you know, there was- I just think people are desperately trying to to put on fronts.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
To justify what they're doing.
And that's so much of what our civilization and society is.
Everybody wear your suit.
And I don't wear suits.
I don't have a suit.
I'm not going to wear a suit.
And I just don't see the point.
Why?
Got to wear your tie.
Why?
It covers your buttons.
So what?
Why wear suits?
Look, I get it if there's like a kind of, you know, you're trying to look nice.
But I don't think we're in that period anymore where people need to put on pretense.
But you look at judges and their robes and everything's, you know, proper and doctors and their lab coats and I'm just like, dude, I don't care for any of that.
It doesn't prove anything to me.
Any random dude can put on a suit and claim to be someone important.
It doesn't fly.
I guess for a random person it might, for me it doesn't do anything.
You come to me wearing a suit, means nothing to me.
At all.
ian crossland
Badges are like that too.
I don't like that you put a little marker on your shirt and all of a sudden you're supposed to have some control over me.
Like, you better be a better person than me if you want some control over me.
tim pool
Well, that's that's a different question.
I mean, that we're talking about policing.
ian crossland
I'm not saying the institution is a problem, but I'm saying the fact that they get to just put a badge on and all of a sudden that gives them power.
It's like putting on a suit and you think that they're more valuable now because they're wearing a suit.
I don't care what you're wearing.
tim pool
Well, no, I think it's their job that grants them certain, you know, authority.
ian crossland
It's really the gun that gives them the authority.
lydia smith
Of course.
tim pool
No, no, no, no.
It's the it's the gun control combined with the monopoly on violence from the state.
lydia smith
Yeah.
State is a gun.
ian crossland
Gun plus backup.
tim pool
So it's the fact that they have many, many guns, select fire guns, people with armor and shields, and you're not allowed to have any of those things and they'll tell you what to do and you better do it or else.
ian crossland
Yeah.
But they come with the badge and it's like, even if you don't see the gun, it's just the threat of the gun.
This badge means that I have authority.
chris karr
The costume is still very compelling.
ian crossland
Get out of my face.
chris karr
Yeah.
ian crossland
I mean, I don't say that because I respect authority right now, but I'm borderline, man.
tim pool
Well, let's have a little bit of fun here.
So I still have this political compass memes thing pulled up.
For those that aren't familiar, the political compass is the authoritarian spectrum on the top, the libertarian spectrum on the bottom, then you have the left spectrum and the right spectrum, and you can be any portion of it.
So in this comic where they're talking about me and Vosch, Vosch is a leftist, a general leftist, which means he's authoritarian and libertarian to a certain degree, whereas they view me as just libertarian right.
But a lot of people started responding saying Tim Pool is Lib Center, not Lib Right.
What does any of this mean?
What does Lib Right mean?
What is Lib Right?
What is Lib Left?
I said this before, and Political Compass Memes took something from one of my videos and posted it to their Reddit and it reached the top of their page where I said, The libertarian left spectrum is not the authoritarian woke crowd that demands you adhere to trigger words and warnings and that you honor pronouns.
That's authoritarianism.
That's adhere to our cult or else.
Lib left is the people who are like, we agree with a cooperative system like hippies living on a farm.
And one hippie walks in and says, Hey, man, I just grew a bunch of watermelons.
Would you like to share it with me?
No problem, dude.
And you know what?
I'm going to do the dishes because you helped with the watermelons.
There's no transaction.
There's no... It's all cooperative.
Whereas, you know, the lib right spectrum would be like, I have grown these watermelons, $5.
And the other guy says, wonderful.
It's an excellent price, but I'll tell you what, I'll give you $4 and I'll trade you the satchel of beans.
That's more lib right, I suppose.
But for some reason, whenever it comes to the political spectrum, people keep pushing the lie that the libertarian left is woke.
Yo, woke people are crazy authoritarian.
They tell you to adhere to their cause or else.
chris karr
But that strain does run in the Libertarian Party, does it not?
tim pool
What strain?
chris karr
Of wokeness.
Like, there is an infection of wokeness in the Libertarian Party.
lydia smith
But that's the Libertarian Party's lib rights!
tim pool
I don't know what the Libertarian Party is, because they're like, open borders.
Except for the Mises Caucus.
I don't know what's going on with those guys.
ian crossland
Lib is an interesting word, because I thought you meant liberal left.
I was like, left means liberal, but it's lib-retariant.
tim pool
Left doesn't mean liberal.
Liberal and conservative?
ian crossland
I think you've got to understand that— None of it means anything to me, man.
tim pool
None of it means anything to anybody, to be honest.
So, left and right have their root in the French Revolution, the people sitting on the left, the people sitting on the right.
Nowadays, it doesn't mean anything.
You know, so you'll get these like—Vaush, for instance, called me a conservative.
Like, I don't think you know what a conservative is, if that's what you think.
The political factions in this country are so, it's so fractured that, on the surface, people can't see anyone else's political ideologies.
The way I describe it is, if, imagine you're in a big field, this literally happened in Boston, And, um, there's a left side of the field and a right side of the field.
If you're standing on the left and you look towards the right side, you'll see this big mass of people.
One guy's got a Confederate flag, one guy's got a Trump flag, one guy's got an American flag, and one guy's got a Nazi flag.
And you go, man, look at all of those crazy people over there.
But if you actually were to take an overhead view, you'd see the American flag guy is actually close to the middle of the field.
The Nazi guy's all the way on the far fringe end, and no one wants to talk to him.
But when you're looking at it from one perspective, one angle, all you'll see is the flags next to each other.
Because they're actually spaced far apart.
And that's exactly what's happening, so...
For a lot of people on the right, they look to their left and they see a big mass of people.
They're actually relatively far away from each other.
Same is true for the left.
However, the left having control of cultural institutions, it's more of a mainstream corporate press perspective.
Anyone to the left of Mao is far-right, alt-right, or whatever.
You end up with people like Vosch saying, well, Tim Pool is a conservative and by necessity a racist.
And it's just like, bro, I'm not a conservative.
ian crossland
I thought in addition to politics being so fractured and challenging to locate who's where and who identifies as what, you get like, I think it was libs of Tik Tok or somebody they'd show like one person would be like, I'm not touching that vaccine that Trump's rushing out.
And then when Biden gets in office, they're like, definitely do what the president says.
Cause I love him.
And it's like, that is less political spectrum, more cult worship.
If you're a cult worshiper, you just fly all over the political spectrum because you don't have any value real like personal.
drew hernandez
I like that explanation because when you kind of get more into like the cultish type of lane, you know, when you deal with cults, like real cults, right?
Like people that have like these insane religious beliefs.
Most of the time, these people don't even realize what they're actually doing or what they're believing.
They've just been told what to believe.
They've been told what to do.
They've been told what their actions should be, and there's really no, like, root to their doctrine.
It's just, this is what the hive mind has taught me.
This is what the leader has taught me.
This is what everyone else around me is on the same wavelength.
And so, when we gravitate towards one thing, it doesn't have to make sense.
It's just what we're all doing at the time.
When we gravitate toward another thing, it doesn't have to make sense.
We just do it because that's what we need to do.
And that's why I think when people watch this, you look at the political spectrum, and predominantly on the far left, none of it makes sense.
It's just like this cultish mentality where we go from one thing to the other, and it really, it's not...
Educational.
There's nothing about it that's intellectual.
It's just all over the place.
It's emotional.
It's just one thing to the other.
And I think that type of thinking, I think what Ian is saying, I totally agree with him because that's exactly how cult mind thinking works.
tim pool
The problem with conservatives, people on the right, is that, like any person, they assume that everyone else has the same perspective as they do, but maybe a lack of knowledge or something like that.
And so what they do, people do this, they project how they think and feel on other people.
And then they say, if I know this, you certainly know it, that means you're a liar.
What they don't understand is that the left is an amorphous blob.
It is typically, you know, the establishment left and many of the leftists who support them, they're authoritarians, they're cult-like, and they have no real principles or causes behind them other than being a part of the hive.
So the other day, before we were getting on the show, I was talking with Daniel Turner, who we've had on periodically.
He was on yesterday.
And I said that abortion is a strong moral issue for the right, and it is not for the left.
And we argued about it.
He said, no, no, no, no, you are wrong.
The left will absolutely protest for abortion.
And I said, they'll protest for anything, and they don't know what they're protesting for.
You go out to the March for Our Lives, and they can't even tell you what a caliber is.
They'll be like, well, I think we should ban 28 caliber Chinese guns.
I'm like bro.
You just watched the Dark Knight cuz I was watching the other night I don't know if you saw that scene where Harvey Dent grabs the gun.
He's like 28 caliber It's like it's not a thing but these people they have no idea what they're talking about These guys in Hollywood make a movie and they make up a number that makes no sense, bro You couldn't have asked somebody's one person.
So what I said was listen I Like abortion is a good example of a strong moral issue versus a cult.
Strong moral issue for the right and the pro-life crowd is that they view abortion as literal murder.
And I think Louis CK had a bit about this where he's like, man, if I thought people were killing babies, I'd be pissed off too.
So you ask someone who's pro-life, how do they feel about this?
And they'll be like, it's literal murder.
You ask someone on the left, how they feel about it?
And they'll say, it's like flushing garbage down the toilet.
Is there any point where a regular person in this country, if you saw someone about to flush a wadded up piece of garbage into a toilet, would you go, no?
ian crossland
Only if there was a septic system.
tim pool
And try and stop them.
ian crossland
Yeah, if it was in a septic system, I'd be like, hold on, is it biodegradable?
Is that toilet paper or human waste only?
tim pool
What if you saw someone about to murder a baby?
99.99999% of people would scream and be like, that's a horrifying sight to behold.
But if the left doesn't view it as such, they don't care about it.
So all you got to do is look at the Kavanaugh protests when they're banging on the door of the Supreme Court, screaming, claiming they're worried about Roe v. Wade.
No, they're not.
Look, I get it.
They're pro-choice.
They are.
But on a scale of 1 to 10, in terms of it being a strong moral issue, a 10 is a strong moral issue and a 1 is You know, it's an issue.
For the pro-life crowd, it's like a 4.
Maybe a 3.
I'm sorry, for the pro-choice crowd, it's like a 4 or a 3.
For the pro-life crowd, it's like a 9 or a 10.
Like, killing another human being is wrong.
So, when I see these people marching out in the streets screaming on top of their lungs, it's fascinating to me.
Because most of them don't actually care all that much about what this is.
And then you look at the right, and they care substantially more, but they're not even out protesting.
I mean, March for Life is actually really, really large, but the right is substantially less likely to protest for these issues.
Don't ask me why, but I think, you know, the point I'm trying to get to is, I've been to many left protests.
They could not tell you what it was about.
They can't.
And I understand, you go to some of these right-wing rallies, and they'll give you a bunch of disparate answers.
It's really easy to find stupid people.
I've been to many right-wing rallies.
I went around in 2015 and 2016 to all the Trump rallies when he was running, and I got answers from everybody.
I remember I was in Janesville, Wisconsin.
I walked with some young guys, and, you know, they're talking to them, like, hey, do you mind if I ask you some questions?
Like, what are you here for?
Why are you supporting Trump?
And they were, like, in their early 20s, and they were like, political correctness, man.
It's really, really bad.
They said, what we're seeing with our culture in terms of canceling people, and this is like 2015-16, they're like in terms of taking over movies and games and just making this weird creepy politics stuff.
We need someone who's going to speak their mind and set that cultural standard that you can be offensive.
And I was like, oh, okay, wow, I understand that.
I talked to, uh, in Janesville again, I talked to an older guy and he said, he's like, look, my factory shut down.
They shipped it over overseas and Donald Trump, he's gonna, he's gonna be bringing it back.
You know, he wants to bring these, these, these jobs back.
I go to these left-wing protests and rallies.
Nothing.
Trump's a fascist.
Trump's a fascist.
We gotta stop fascism.
And I'm like, is there something you think Hillary Clinton's gonna bring to the table?
No.
Truth be told, the Bernie Sanders people had demands.
And it was very similar to the Trump supporter demands.
A lot of the Bernie people I talked to were like, you know, not the violent ones, you know, the actual rally people, they were like, he's talking about healthcare, he's talking about college, and he's talking about union workers.
I like all these things.
And I'm like, okay, that I understand.
And then Bernie was just like, I'd rather have a million dollars and four houses.
How many houses does he have?
Three?
chris karr
I think it's three, yeah.
tim pool
That's a lot of houses!
chris karr
Nice houses, too.
tim pool
Yeah, and he's like, maybe you could sell the best, you know, sell a book and you could be a millionaire, too, or whatever.
chris karr
So, well, it kind of, just to pivot very briefly back off of that to something that Ian was saying earlier, it does come down to clarity of message when it comes to activism and advocacy, and I saw it like a very, because there were a lot of, well, S-lib takes, crap-lib takes on Twitter about the, yeah, ish-lib takes about the the trucker protest.
And it was driving me crazy because there was a clear distinction, because people were saying like, oh well, I'm sure you're okay with BLM protests then.
But there was such a distinction there that I thought was so obvious, at least it was to me, BLM was out there saying, people were saying, what do you want BLM?
And they were saying, we have to reimagine structures of society.
We have to dismantle and disembowel and take apart and drag down and stop systemic racism.
And it sounds like you're talking to a religious zealot.
It makes no sense.
You ask a trucker what the problem is, stop the mandates.
Period.
Period.
I mean, yes, at a larger level, they're advocating for freedom.
But that is a very clear message.
That's a very clear ask.
And that's what they're after.
Stop the mandates.
And, you know, you've got the Canadian government that's pivoting.
You've got them sending out their own state media just saying, you know, we heard that they might be taking away your kids.
I don't know if that's going to happen.
They're just saying it could.
And you see these truckers are getting really upset.
There was that one video that we covered.
This guy was saying, are you saying they're going to take away our kids?
They're like, oh, I'm not saying that.
It's just something I heard, you know?
So they're trying all these tactics to kind of break down this very clear protest that's just asking for the mandates to be lifted so that these people can feel like they have some sense of freedom.
ian crossland
You heard that the government's threatening to take away the children of the protesters?
chris karr
State media, well, I mean, CBC, you know, Canada Broadcasting, whatever, they sent a reporter out on the ground and this reporter was basically just like, we've heard that potentially your children could be in danger for being involved in this.
And one of these truckers got really upset and he's just like, wait a second, what did you hear?
Because the trucker knows that the media in Canada basically represents the federal government.
And he got really upset and he said, what did you hear?
What are you talking about?
You're saying that my children, my teenage children that are with me right now are in danger of being taken away by the government?
And they were just like, well, I'm not saying that.
I don't know what's going to happen.
I'm just, that's just what I heard.
You know, that's just one example of the games that the media is playing in Canada.
You know to try to like break down this protest that has very clear demands unlike the BLM protests which had abstract, you know, cosmological demands that can't be met in reality.
So I think there's a major distinction there.
Clear messaging versus abstract messaging.
tim pool
Yeah, the abstract messaging is just cult.
chris karr
Yes.
tim pool
They don't know what they're fighting for.
chris karr
That's exactly right.
tim pool
They're banging on the doors of the Supreme Court, they're screaming, and they don't know for what reason.
Or at least, at the very least, not a particularly strong issue.
I think most of these protests are just bored virtue signals.
It's young people who are like, What are we doing today?
It's like, are you going to come to the protest?
Sure, I guess.
ian crossland
Oh yeah, the BLM riots was like, let's get out of the house.
COVID's got us all locked up.
We have a chance to take our masks off and go crazy.
It's like, let's party, man.
Burning Man got canceled.
That's what that was, right?
drew hernandez
Coachella got canceled.
tim pool
We'll have our own.
And that's it.
You know, it takes a lot to see the right come out and protest, and they've started doing it more and more, and it's effective.
And it shows you that the political establishment has used protest.
to their advantage for some time now.
It shows you that BLM is effectively an apparatus of the state.
When they go out and they riot and they get funding for it, it's fine.
When Kamala Harris uses GoFundMe or whatever to raise money for people who are criminals, that's all fine.
When truckers of their own volition say, honk honk, terrorism, freeze their bank accounts, shut them down, take their kids, maybe even put guns or something, who knows what they're gonna do, enact emergency powers never before used, Wow!
drew hernandez
What's crazy about the BLM stuff too is like not only did they do worse like in 2020 but that's actually when like the lockdowns were.
You see what I'm saying?
Like that was actually during the time of where there was a lot of question marks around COVID and we didn't have that much information and it was like That's when things were locked down and the federal government was more loose with them, but here we are two years later, things are starting to loosen up, but it's as if we were in 2020 and this just started.
That's how aggressive they are.
Like, no, no, you cannot, we, you have to get vaccinated.
No, no, no, we have to do this because it's going to kill everybody.
You see what I'm saying?
Like that, that, that contrast when you make it is, is, It's crazy.
ian crossland
Yeah.
When England basically repeals all their mandates.
I mean, England's back to base zero now.
It's as if, I believe they're like pre-pandemic situation, like as if it's just an open society now.
But then for Canada, who's one of the common part of the Commonwealth to not, it doesn't make any sense.
drew hernandez
Like, what are they waiting for?
What are they waiting for?
But during the pandemic, BLM could walk around and write and do whatever they want.
ian crossland
As long as they don't step on federal property.
If they'd went to the White House, BLM, they'd be, we'd see thousands of them in prison right now.
lydia smith
That is not true because they actually did go to the White House and they broke windows and they set the church on fire.
And they also went to some of the federal courthouses in like, I think it was Portland, and they set the thing on fire.
They were tearing down the fences around it.
People had to evacuate.
So they did set foot on federal land and Trump received a lot.
Tom Cotton, if you'll recall, he, the editorial director at the Newspaper, fill in the blank, I don't remember which one it was, resigned because of Tom Cotton's editorial calling for federal intervention in these mobs and riots that were going on.
And this is something that ActBlue and Kamala Harris were supporting at the time.
That was fine.
That was great.
Ocasio-Cortez was saying that this is designed to make you uncomfortable.
Now it's happening in Ottawa.
These people are terrorists.
This is a nationwide insurrection.
QAnon is running rampant in the streets.
It's mind boggling to watch and I really hope it red pills a bunch of people.
drew hernandez
But Lydia, they were wearing masks, so it was okay.
lydia smith
Oh yes, that's fine, yeah.
ian crossland
It was okay.
lydia smith
That makes it better.
unidentified
Yeah, okay.
tim pool
Friends, we've got breaking news from Project Veritas.
unidentified
Oh boy.
tim pool
Here we go.
This story actually came out right around the time we went live.
This is crazy stuff.
Project Veritas has released Expose FDA Part 1.
FDA executive officer on hidden camera reveals future COVID policy.
Quote, Biden wants to inoculate as many people as possible, have to get an annual shot.
They say, FDA executive officer Christopher Cole inadvertently revealed that his agency will eventually announce that annual COVID-19 vaccinations will become policy.
Cole is an executive officer heading up the agency's countermeasures initiatives, which plays a critical role in ensuring that drugs, vaccines, and other measures to counter infectious disease and viruses are safe.
He made the revelations on hidden camera to an undercover reporter.
Cole indicates that annual COVID-19 shots isn't probable, but certain.
When pushed on how he knows an annual shot will become policy, Cole states, just from everything I've heard, the FDA are not going to not approve it.
The footage, which is part of a two-part series on the FDA, also contains soundbites from Cole about the financial incentives pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer have to get the vaccine approved, saying, quote, It'll be a recurring fountain of revenue.
It might not be that much initially, but it'll recurring if they can.
If they can get every person required at an annual vaccine, that is a recurring return of money going into their company.
Quote, they're going they're all approved under an emergency just because it's not as impactful as some of other approvals really an emergency for kids.
So there's a lot more to this.
I've seen a little bit of it, but it seems this guy at least believes.
Get your yearly COVID shot.
ian crossland
Recurring fountain of revenue.
drew hernandez
Monetizing your body with inoculations.
tim pool
Dude, medical subscription services.
ian crossland
Biden wants to inoculate everyone?
Is that what that guy said?
tim pool
Everyone?
chris karr
No, Biden has said that himself.
I forget which press conference it was, but his solution to this COVID problem was, we have to vaccinate everyone in this country, and then we have to vaccinate the rest of the world.
That was his way out of this.
What's the word?
ian crossland
Inoculate.
chris karr
I'm struggling to find the exact quote from Biden.
drew hernandez
I remember that.
I remember that.
chris karr
He did say that, right?
Okay.
unidentified
All right.
chris karr
Thanks for doing a little sanity check on me there.
drew hernandez
I remember that comment.
chris karr
Yeah.
No, he said that out loud.
drew hernandez
I think that was his one year.
I think.
But I do remember Biden saying that.
That sounds about right.
chris karr
Yeah.
No, he said it.
That's his goal.
That's how he thinks the virus gets shut down.
ian crossland
Look up the definition of the word inoculate and think that Joe Biden wants to do this to you.
It's to implant microorganisms or infectious material into a culture medium.
To introduce a serum, vaccine, or antigenic substance into the body of a person.
drew hernandez
Oh, you say it like that.
ian crossland
Yeah, this third one is to implant microorganisms or infections.
I mean, that's basically, you know, you put a little bit of dangerous stuff in the body so it jacks up an immune response and then you become immune over time is the idea, but forcing it on people, top-down medicine.
It's crazy.
drew hernandez
What did it say?
Reoccurring revenue?
Is that what he said?
ian crossland
It's a fountain.
drew hernandez
It'll literally monetize your body.
The Experimental Nutrition Service.
chris karr
Yes, man.
tim pool
You gotta, you gotta look.
These pharmaceutical companies paid big for sponsoring these big corporate media.
They spent a lot of money lobbying.
They make a lot of contributions.
ian crossland
How many pharmaceutical commercials ran on the Super Bowl?
Did you guys get a number?
lydia smith
Google had a number.
tim pool
I know that all these big media companies are brought to you by Pfizer because I saw that supercut.
chris karr
That was a great supercut.
In the meantime, I want to say, so the old tried phrase is, all roads lead to Rome.
I wonder if the phrase for our culture that survives for centuries is, all roads lead to Alex Jones.
lydia smith
Yes.
chris karr
Is that right?
ian crossland
Through Alex Jones.
Through Alex Jones!
chris karr
I love that.
tim pool
There was that story the other day about the BLM activists who tried to assassinate a Democrat mayor.
And people were pointing out that Alex Jones had said several months ago that there's going to be attacks on Democrats to justify gun control and harsh measures against the people.
I gotta say, if you throw spaghetti at enough clocks, eventually they'll tell you the right time or whatever the sentence is.
No, you throw spaghetti at a bunch of clocks and eventually some of them will just splatter into the right time.
ian crossland
So if you're making predictions on everything, eventually people are going to be like... Theoretically, I think if a million monkeys have a million typewriters, they'll eventually write Hamlet.
drew hernandez
Right, right, right.
tim pool
As the saying goes.
I don't know about a million, you might need more than that.
ian crossland
Hamlet?
drew hernandez
No, that did that.
It was a mayor?
tim pool
Yeah.
Mayoral candidate.
drew hernandez
Imagine if that was a white guy that did something like that.
tim pool
That story's crazy, by the way, too.
I watched a press conference.
Apparently he walked in and they were like, can we help you?
And he pulled the gun out from a few feet away and fired and missed.
It's funny because I saw a lot of people on Twitter saying, I call BS, how did he miss?
unidentified
And I'm like, that sounds like someone who's never fired a handgun.
drew hernandez
It's like the Waukesha stuff, just gets swept right under the rug.
ian crossland
Did the guy see, was he looking him in the eyes?
tim pool
He said that the guy walked in and just, you know, pulled a gun, pointed it.
But people who think you can't miss have clearly never fired a handgun.
lydia smith
Very easy to miss the handgun.
Very easy.
tim pool
People, when they fire, when they squeeze their hand, they move the gun in certain ways.
They don't realize it.
And so what ends up happening is they usually point left or right.
Or if you're right-handed, you'll point left and down or something like that.
At least that's what I was told when I went to the range the first time and they're telling me how to shoot properly.
But yeah, I think it's just getting crazy out there for a variety of reasons.
lydia smith
When you have these disparate factions of people that are all extreme, no cohesion, just eventually, Well I am I am concerned because there does seem to be a shortage of actual right-wing terrorism which means that you're going to need to find a way to meet the demand you know what I mean like if people aren't being violent that's what makes me think that the this cache of guns in Canada might possibly be some kind of bad really truly might be a bad actor trying to make them look bad trying to plant this on them and make it look like they're trying to plan some kind of violent
tim pool
This is a well-known guy.
I mean, this is an activist who did this.
ian crossland
Could you imagine?
tim pool
Well, okay, he's been arrested for it.
lydia smith
Yeah, the BLM guy.
tim pool
Considering they were there and they watched him do it, I think they got the right guy.
chris karr
Rest assured, Olivia, the FBI is on that.
lydia smith
Oh, yeah, I know.
chris karr
Yeah, they're on it.
They're on it.
They're working on it really hard.
It happened well in Michigan.
You know, they had outstanding results.
The right-wing terrorism will happen.
ian crossland
What if your life was, there's nothing bad going on right now.
Why?
What's wrong with reality that something we can't figure out what's wrong?
Like something's bad.
I have a bad feeling.
I can't see anything wrong.
So they go out like this is the mentality.
If something's not wrong, then something must be wrong because life is bad.
Like these people live to their law enforcement.
They go around looking for people breaking laws.
And if the people aren't breaking laws, then they make up new ways to get them.
drew hernandez
I think it's a good strategy to easily emotionally manipulate a lot of people very quickly.
Because if you could bring unity with like millions of people with a centralized enemy, I think that's essentially what Trump was.
You could really get a lot of people unified for a specific cause.
And I think you see this happen throughout history all the time where there's a common enemy that the people all have.
And I think the far left does a really good job at doing this.
They do a really good job at demonizing their opponents.
They do a really good job at slandering them and painting them as these are the people that are going to destroy your life.
The white supremacist.
The neo-Nazi.
It's always this fear.
That's why everything's a phobia.
Everything is a phobia.
Homophobia.
Islamophobia.
They just slap phobia to it.
And we unify the entire base and they're out there busting people's doors down.
It works.
tim pool
I like that phobia phobia.
If you don't like a sport, you're soccer-phobic.
lydia smith
Phobic, yeah.
drew hernandez
Everything's a phobia.
tim pool
You don't like soccer?
drew hernandez
Fear is very powerful.
tim pool
You see what they did with Dave Chappelle?
He was in opposition to this construction that was going to be going on in his town, so they framed it as though he opposed affordable housing.
Because it's always a dirty, manipulative game.
They didn't ask him why he was in opposition to it.
They just said this proposal would include affordable housing.
Dave Chappelle threatens to pull millions of dollars out of town in opposition to affordable housing.
chris karr
I've covered enough of those eye-melting, brain-numbing city council meetings to know that the affordable housing that these city councils advocate for is almost always corrupt.
It never pans out.
It is all about money.
It's all about corrupt politicians.
I mean, I covered Anaheim.
There's like a super corrupt problem in Anaheim, because Disney owns Anaheim.
And that's how these deals go down.
I mean, obviously, Dave Chappelle's no moron.
Like, he's a sharp guy.
He probably saw right through the corruption, and right through the nonsense, and he went there and was just like, I don't support this.
And they panicked, and they had to smear him.
ian crossland
So does Disney actually literally own the city of Anaheim?
chris karr
They do through backdoor deals.
Because without Disney and without Angel Stadium, Anaheim is not a city.
It's like a third world town.
So, well basically the City Council of Anaheim is never going to do anything that's not in Disney's best interest.
Which also puts them in the CCP's pocket.
lydia smith
Nice.
unidentified
Wow.
lydia smith
That checks out, yeah.
tim pool
Oh, things are going good, huh?
chris karr
Sorry, just wanted to bring some good news from California.
ian crossland
Sunny California.
tim pool
Maybe let California go its own way, huh?
ian crossland
I think it's supposedly going to slip down, isn't it?
Or slip up into Canada at some point.
unidentified
Canada?
ian crossland
You hear that, Canada?
lydia smith
Yeah, watch out.
ian crossland
It's coming for you.
chris karr
To you.
tim pool
When the San Andreas Fault... Yeah, apparently it's slipping.
ian crossland
California's sliding up.
They thought it was going to fall off and disappear, but I think it's technically sliding up.
tim pool
And then it'll go right below Alaska and then connect the, you know, land bridge.
You know, I think if California didn't move that far north, though, everything about California would change overnight because the people who live there would be able to handle the harsh realities of the cold, tundra and snow.
ian crossland
That's one of the things that's so awesome about the protests in Canada, the truckers, is they can just handle the cold, man.
You saw on Wall Street, everybody turned in late November or mid-November, whenever it was.
unidentified
It was cold!
tim pool
There was a funny post where some woman tweeted, you know, you should go out there and spray water on their handles and freeze them out.
And someone was like, to think that Canadian truckers don't know how to handle ice.
It shows exactly what's wrong with these urban, you know, city-urban liberal types.
Like, yeah, if there's anyone I would ask for advice in terms of ice on my car, it'd be a Canadian trucker.
lydia smith
Seriously.
tim pool
Like, you guys are in the cold and you drive.
Know anything I don't know about tips and tricks about getting the ice off the car and opening it up?
They'd be like, oh yeah, gotcha.
Yeah, I don't know, it's probably happened to you guys.
Winter comes around, your car door freezes shut, you can't open it.
How do you get in?
Gotta get the remote start, turn the heat on, right?
That's the secret.
ian crossland
I was looking for how many pharmaceutical commercials they ran in the Super Bowl.
I cannot find this, but if anyone out there, if you guys know, feel free to super chat it or leave it in the comments if you have some ideas or links or something, because I'd like to find out.
I have a feeling there were more than last year.
lydia smith
Yeah, I'm sure that's non-zero.
tim pool
Let's talk about the absurdity that is Hollywood in California and Alec Baldwin.
We got the story from TimCast.com.
Cinematographer's family files wrongful death suit against Alec Baldwin.
The Santa Fe Sheriff's Office is still investigating the October 2021 onset fatality.
But we have this story from the New York Post.
Alec Baldwin sued by the family of Helena Hutchins.
They've released a video.
It's kind of creepy.
It is a CGI video.
I can only show some of it, because YouTube actually will probably shut us down if I show you, even though it's, like, simulated.
Whatever, man.
It is what it is.
But I can, you know, I can play a certain, a decent amount of it, so let's play some of this video.
So this is important in understanding the story about Alec Baldwin and the shooting of Helena Hutchins.
Let me slow down and preface this real quick for those who are not familiar with exactly what this is.
Alec Baldwin was on the filming set of a movie called Rust.
He shot a cinematographer.
At first it was declared a misfire, it was an accident.
We started to get more and more details and it turns out that, based on the news and the information that came out, it sounds much more like Alec Baldwin intentionally murdered this woman.
At least, A lot of people refuse to believe it.
I certainly think it's more probable than an accident.
Because Alec Baldwin had a single-action revolver.
You had to pull the hammer back.
You had to pull the trigger to fire it.
It was loaded with live rounds.
It was given to him by someone who was not the on-set armorer.
We had Nick Cerci on the show who had worked with that armorer before and said she was great.
So all of this just keeps coming back to, there's no way there's an accident.
But let me give you that one very, very important detail before I show you this clip.
Alec Baldwin claims that after he shot this woman, he didn't know she was hit for 45 minutes.
If you're standing in front of someone, and you point a gun at them, pull the hammer back, pull the trigger, he claims he didn't pull the trigger, but you pull the hammer back and it goes off, and then they go, ugh, and they collapse, and two people fall down, what do you do?
Did Alec Baldwin just go, alright, and walk away?
lydia smith
Apparently.
unidentified
Cut!
tim pool
And they're screaming, people are screaming, she's dying, and he's just like, I didn't see anything.
chris karr
And that cinematographer acts good.
drew hernandez
He thought she was acting.
tim pool
Are they filming her?
Is she part of this?
Let me play this clip now to show you some of the context around here.
So here's the building.
The reason why I think this is important to go through is because a lot of people are trying to imagine in their head what it was like when this woman was shot.
You can see here, this is all CGI by the way, this is what the building looks like.
Alright, let's play a little bit because now they're going to take us inside the building.
It's only about a minute long, this video.
All right, so there's the building.
We are now going inside.
Oh, I think that... was that actually a photograph?
Hold on.
unidentified
Oh, cool.
lydia smith
The first one.
drew hernandez
So this is an actual... Wow, it switches.
unidentified
Nice.
tim pool
Right.
lydia smith
Cool, yeah.
tim pool
Is that a... it looks... And then it switches to CGI.
All right, then we go inside, and this is what it looks like inside this church on the set of this film.
Alec Baldwin is handed the gun by the, I guess, associate director.
ian crossland
Assistant director.
tim pool
Assistant director.
And then he sits down.
He's got the gun in his holster.
And there he is.
And I think now they're going to show, they're going to pan around.
And you can now see, they're showing you where the cinematographer was and where the other director, right?
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
And the camera.
ian crossland
And I don't know who those other two people are.
They weren't named.
tim pool
So here's what's interesting.
I didn't, I didn't realize this.
How far away he was from her and the crowd and that he pointed the gun straight at her and not the camera.
Cause when we had first talked about the story, I was like, why would he point the gun straight at the camera?
And people were like, Oh, maybe it was to get that shot or whatever.
She's, she's off to his left of the camera.
He pointed straight at her and he fires and he, he killed her.
ian crossland
He definitely killed her.
tim pool
So you were arguing with me about this initially, that you can't say he killed her.
ian crossland
Well, I don't know if I would call it murder.
The intention is unknown.
He definitely pointed the gun at the woman, pulled the trigger, and killed her.
Whether or not he intended to, I don't know.
But I don't think that really is what this is all about right now.
I mean, that's up for the courts to decide.
tim pool
Let me show you this clip, alright?
We're not going to actually show it because YouTube would get mad at us.
ian crossland
Look at that!
Five feet away from her!
Or whatever it was.
tim pool
And then he pulls the hammer back and he shoots her.
lydia smith
Wow.
tim pool
Now, here's the thing.
I'm gonna skip over the part where she actually gets hit, because that's, you know.
And you can see people rushing over to help her.
And again, CGI rendering of what happened.
This is not actual video evidence.
Where did Alec Baldwin go?
There's no other exit to this building.
And he said for 45 minutes he didn't know that she got shot with a real bullet.
So, he's like, I thought she fainted or something.
Bro, if you point the gun at someone, and you pull the hammer back and it goes bang, and then someone screams and collapses, Why would you assume?
They must have fainted!
ian crossland
He's a weak mind, and he wasn't able to accept what just happened to him.
He panicked.
It was like shock.
It's like what happens when a soldier goes crazy in the trench.
He knew he killed her.
He was just shocked.
tim pool
No.
Ian, you might as well believe in aliens.
ian crossland
Or he's just blatantly lying.
tim pool
You might as well believe... If you're gonna tell me that Alec Baldwin pointed a gun At a person, from like five feet away, pulled the hammer back, it went off in his hand, he felt the recoil, the recoil of a live round is different from the recoil of a blank, and then the woman screams, and the guy behind her screams as well, at least they do in this video, and then people run over to help and he goes, must have fainted, and then gets up and walks off.
Sorry, I would rather believe that aliens took over his mind or the mind control device, that seems more plausible to me, than he was like, I didn't realize I had just shot them when I pointed a gun and pulled the hammer back and it fired.
Nah, he knew what he did.
That's why I keep hearing the story and I'm like, why would you assume anything other than he put a bullet in the gun and he shot her?
ian crossland
Who put the bullet in the gun?
That one I wonder.
That I don't know.
tim pool
Hold on, bro.
If you're gonna tell me that it was the assistant director or someone else who put the bullet in the gun, Alec Baldwin, feeling the recoil of that live bullet, having trained with firearms, would have been like, what?
ian crossland
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
And then when she clapped and screamed, he would have been like, What happened?
ian crossland
Except he knew my life is over.
My career is over.
And he probably, it all went through his head immediately when he pulled the trigger and was like, it's too much for my brain.
I mean, that's a possibility.
I don't know if that really happened.
People are weak, man.
People go crazy.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
What you don't understand is when someone is in a shocked moment, they don't have complicated thoughts.
They have panicked thoughts.
And if Alec Baldwin, so you guys ever see Sherlock Holmes?
You ever see A Game of Shadows?
Robert Downey Jr.?
ian crossland
No, no.
tim pool
So good, I love it.
So they're trying to find out there's a guy who's got surgery to look like an ambassador.
He's trying to trigger a world war.
And so, you know, he's with Watson and, you know, Watson's in the room and they're like, how do we find someone who's pretending to be someone else?
And then Sherlock says, you know, or I think it's Watson who's like, Yeah, Sherlock's playing chess with Moriarty.
And Watson's like, do something shocking, because they're trying so hard to maintain a facade, they won't react properly to a shock.
And so what he does is, he smacks the tray with champagne on it, the champagne shatters, and everyone in the room goes, but the one guy in disguise doesn't flinch.
Because in his mind, he's desperately trying to maintain his persona.
So when the shock happens, he doesn't respond properly like everybody else.
So that's when I hear this story.
When Alec Baldwin himself, I mean, he lied about everything.
He was like, she was a friend, she was a friend.
Then he said, I didn't know her.
I never met her before.
It's like, this guy's full of it.
The idea that he pointed the gun, pulled the hammer back, it went off in his hand.
First, I got so many questions.
The recoil of a live bullet compared to the blank?
He knew!
He was holding it.
It went off in his hand.
The woman screams and falls down.
It severed her spinal cord.
And he's like, I didn't realize it happened.
And what does he do?
Get up and walk away?
drew hernandez
Yeah, that's BS, bro.
tim pool
Dude, he did it!
drew hernandez
I don't know if this is the same, but I mean, I watched Kyle Rittenhouse shoot somebody and kill them in self-defense, and I didn't pull that trigger, and that had an effect on me.
Like, I will never forget that.
I will never watch, forget watching that.
Like, the way that I felt, I saw it.
Like, I watched life leave this guy's eyes, like, literally, like, on the floor.
unidentified
It's crazy.
drew hernandez
Like, so, I just, like, when I hear, like, these gun stories, and I can't relate to this, like, you know, police officers or people in the military that have actually shot people.
I think that would be someone good to ask, you know?
But for me, like, I've watched that, and I don't see how Alec Baldwin could come out and just be like, oh, I thought she fainted.
Like, I didn't know.
tim pool
There's no way, though.
drew hernandez
Even if you're in shock, because I'm going to be honest, when I watched that dude get killed, I was kind of in a state of shock.
I was still collected, I knew what was going on, but I was still kind of like, I put it on Twitter and I'm like, I just saw that.
I just saw that.
It was just in my mind.
It couldn't leave my mind.
I just don't see how you could shoot somebody and then go directly to... I just thought she fainted.
tim pool
There's an indescribable feeling that I've talked about before when I see people who get mutilated or killed.
And I don't have a word for it.
I can't even really describe it.
It's a weird feeling.
I've seen a guy whose legs were turned to... Well, let's just... Yeah, I know.
unidentified
I'm thinking the same thing.
tim pool
I'm not going to get into it in too much detail, but I've seen severe injuries, mutilation, and death.
And there is a feeling that you get watching a body be carried away.
Maybe it's just me.
Maybe not everybody experiences it.
ian crossland
No, it's definitely not just you.
tim pool
No, I know.
And you know, I wonder if there would be a word for the feeling you get when you watch this, if more people had the shared experience of witnessing something like that.
ian crossland
Exorcism.
I don't know.
It's like the opposite of an exorcism.
tim pool
Because most people don't actually experience that.
Possession.
There's no way to explain that word to someone who's never experienced that feeling.
When I hear that Alec Baldwin pulled out a gun and went off and shot and killed a woman and that he just assumed she fainted, I'm like, this man is a liar and knew exactly what he did.
Because, you know what?
I'll put it this way.
There's a video on Reddit right now.
I love saying I'm on Reddit, right?
And it's a little girl, and she's got a gun, and she's playing with it, and she puts the magazine in, and she pulls it back and chambers around, and then she's going like, ooh, and she's playing with the trigger and laughing, and then she releases the magazine and smiles and laughs, and then bang, it goes off!
Because it was around in the chamber, and she goes, That's freaking out.
When a live round is discharged from a gun, you don't just get up and go, must fainted and walk off.
chris karr
Yeah.
tim pool
You start freaking out.
ian crossland
The weird part is in this video that the, after he fires, the video goes dark and then comes back up and Alex not there.
Like, where did he, what happened?
He must've just got up and walked out then.
tim pool
Apparently that's what happened.
ian crossland
And he was on the phone.
tim pool
Yeah, he left and he got on the phone and he said he's lying about all of it's the problem
He said I didn't realize she got hit with a live bullet for 45 minutes. I thought she fainted
chris karr
Something like that, but what's bothering me so much about this whole story is motive
unidentified
Yeah What's the motive here?
chris karr
What do you mean?
What's the motive for him shooting her?
tim pool
The crew had been complaining the whole time.
They had threatened to walk off set before.
Alex, Alex, Alec Baldwin is a hothead who's gotten into fights with people in the past.
I think he just settled a lawsuit.
I could be wrong about that.
And here he is.
I think Viva Frye had a really great explanation about this.
He was like, imagine you're Alec Baldwin, seasoned, famous, A-lister, wealthy, on a low-budget production, the industry is in distress, you've got COVID and all these rules, the crew is complaining non-stop, they're threatening to walk off.
Then you get the cinematographer who's telling you what to do, but this is not the director.
You don't take orders from her, but she won't stop nagging.
See, Alec Baldwin said she was—what'd he call her?
Very, like, direct or something?
He wasn't saying about her that she was a friend and nice to work with.
He said she was, like, forceful, effectively.
I think the motive is simple.
He was pissed off.
She was causing problems.
She was jamming up the set.
And the perfect opportunity to murder someone is in a movie set, where you're supposed to have a gun.
But hold on a minute.
In this lawsuit, they're like, why wasn't he using a rubber gun?
Why did he have a live, single-action revolver with real ammo in it, with a real bullet at least, when they were doing... it was like test filming.
None of it makes sense.
Unless, of course, Alec Baldwin was like, I am sick of this woman, she is causing problems for my movie set, and the easiest way to kill somebody is to say it's an on-set accident.
Bang.
None of his story makes sense.
And I'll tell you this, I'd be willing to believe there was a conspiracy to commit murder between him and the assistant director before I believed this was an accident.
For this to have been an accident, you have to believe in magical fairy tales.
That the Armorer, who Alec Baldwin knows is supposed to be the only one handling the weapon, didn't do it.
That somehow live bullets got into it.
That somehow Alec Baldwin forgot all of his training.
That somehow Alec Baldwin, with a single-action revolver, pulled the trigger back.
And with his finger out of, not on the trigger, it went off because that was testified to by the assistant director.
So now you've got a, you've got a broken sear on a single action revolver that he pulled, he pulled the hammer back.
His finger was off the trigger.
It went off.
He didn't realize a bullet was in it despite 40 years of plus of weapons training against someone he had every reason to be upset with.
Nah, dude, get out of here with that.
You know, I've been saying this from the beginning.
I think he killed that woman.
I'll rephrase that.
I think it is substantially more likely he killed this woman on purpose than he killed her on accident.
Suffice to say, he did kill her.
ian crossland
Yeah, negligent homicide, I think at the very least.
I have a very similar take on yours, except that I think he was just very angry with her and didn't like her, and was fantasizing about killing her.
And there happened to be a bullet in the gun.
tim pool
That's ridiculous!
ian crossland
It doesn't make sense that he would throw everything away just to try and sneak it down.
tim pool
No, he's not throwing it away.
ian crossland
Look at this, he's not even going to be... It destroyed his career.
It destroyed his life, dude.
This has destroyed his life.
chris karr
But yeah, under your scenario, he's such a psychopath, like a total psychopath, that he didn't run even the most minimal cost-benefit analysis for what he was about to do.
tim pool
He's a hothead.
chris karr
No, not a hothead.
Anybody could be a little bit of a hothead.
This guy must be a psychopath to make that poor, absolutely poor, cost-benefit analysis.
tim pool
Or there was a potential for a lawsuit that was going to cost him more money.
chris karr
So we shot her?
I don't know.
It still doesn't add up for me.
I don't know.
That's true.
tim pool
I mean, I'm glad that it's going to court.
chris karr
I'm glad that it's going to court, and I hope that the... Criminal charges?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
We don't... Look.
ian crossland
They are.
tim pool
I'll tell you this.
ian crossland
There are criminal charges?
unidentified
No.
ian crossland
This is the first I've heard of it.
I don't think so.
This is a civil case right now.
tim pool
There's no criminal charges.
chris karr
Oh, I see.
ian crossland
Right, not yet.
tim pool
I'm asking.
ian crossland
Oh yeah.
tim pool
The point is, you're saying it's going to court.
I'm saying, you're saying it was a miscalculation.
What do you mean?
If he walked out up to this woman in the middle of New York Avenue and pulled out a gun and shot her, he'd be in prison right now.
ian crossland
Yeah, what if two 18-year-olds are sitting there, one picks up a gun and points it at the other one and shoots him and kills him?
And is like, I didn't know there was a bullet in it.
tim pool
We were acting for a movie!
They'd be like, shut up, you're under arrest.
ian crossland
If they had a camera on and they thought they were acting.
tim pool
And then Alec Baldwin, he doesn't turn his phone over for how long?
drew hernandez
That's kind of where I'm thinking.
Is it really far-fetched to believe that Alec Baldwin believes that he's above all of this?
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
It's not far-fetched.
I think he does think that.
drew hernandez
You see what I'm saying?
Like, do we really sound crazy saying, I think Alec Baldwin thinks he could publicly get away with murder?
ian crossland
Oh, we saw the sympathy crap videos he put out in the weeks following.
tim pool
Look, let me just say, there's a potential for a motive in that we've heard that people are walking off set, that people are complaining, that she was part of the crew and the crew was really, really upset, and it's frustrating for this guy who thinks he's so big and he's an A-lister.
She's not the director, but she's giving him orders and telling him what to do, and he's getting frustrated.
Those make sense.
The reality is, there could be an infinite number of reasons for motive.
Maybe he had an affair with her.
Oh no!
Hilaria's gonna find out.
It could be as simple as that.
We don't know.
The fact is, the story of how this went down, you'd have to be an absolute moron to believe the way they've described it.
He was accidentally given the gun by the wrong person, even though he knows, and has stated already in interviews, it has to come from the armorer, but he let it come from the other guy instead, and then he took the gun, didn't check it, even though he knows you're supposed to check the gun, it's supposed to be displayed for you.
He's stated all of those things.
He's the one who said, you're handed a gun, and they open it up, they explain it to you, and then, you know, if you fiddle with it in any way, so they're like, why didn't you check it?
Well, if I did check it, they'd take it away from me.
That makes no sense.
Like it's an obvious lie.
But let me just make it simple for everybody.
Go out to a shooting range.
All right?
Talk to an instructor.
Have them teach you and bring some blanks.
And fire a blank.
And then fire, you know, what was the caliber of the gun?
It wasn't a .45, was it?
I don't know.
I don't know what it was.
chris karr
I don't recall.
ian crossland
But just... I'll get a difference of the blank and the real bullet, the feel.
tim pool
You're going to be like, wow, this one's obviously the blank and this one's obviously the real gun.
lydia smith
So I do think it was a murder just because he just shot her and apparently had good enough aim because we just saw in Louisville, Louisville, how it's pronounced.
This guy attempted to Louisville.
He attempted to shoot somebody really close range and still ended up missing him for Alec Baldwin to hit this lady.
Dead to rights.
That was incredibly intentional.
tim pool
And think about it.
It was straight in the center of her chest so that it hit her spine too.
lydia smith
That's intense.
chris karr
And went through and hit the director.
ian crossland
He shot two people.
tim pool
Check this out.
It went straight through the center of her chest and through her spine.
lydia smith
That's spot on.
tim pool
So this is, we're talking about winning a lot, like winning three lotteries in a row,
week after week after week. That he had the wrong gun, he wasn't supposed to be using,
that he wasn't supposed to point it at her, that there wasn't supposed to be a bullet in it,
that his finger was off the trigger and he pulled the hammer back, but the hammer went off anyway,
and then the bullet, it missed, but it went perfectly into the center of her chest and
ripped her spine apart.
Then he said, I didn't realize I hit her and got up and walks away.
Yeah, get out of here, man.
People who, you know, nah, I'm not playing that game.
He did it.
He murdered her.
It was on purpose.
That's my opinion.
That is my opinion.
ian crossland
If her family now, is it up to them to press charges?
chris karr
They have.
Yeah, that was the basis of the lawsuit.
ian crossland
Not the civil charges, I mean like criminal charges.
Who files that?
tim pool
The state does.
ian crossland
And what are they?
So you think they're waiting on it because Alec Baldwin's Alec Baldwin?
tim pool
So as everyone's already predicted, Alec Baldwin will pay some fat settlement and he'll never see a day in jail.
That's the way it works in this country.
lydia smith
Well, I think that then his motivation for thinking that he could do it and get away with it was entirely correct.
And that would be perfect motivation to do that.
If you got sick of somebody, you're like, boy, I think I can get away with this.
Watch me.
ian crossland
Oh, I got an idea for a movie.
Rust 2.
The Making of Rust.
drew hernandez
I'm sure that's coming.
He'll be the victim of the movie.
tim pool
You know, I gotta be honest.
I'd love to make a really, really, um, a sketch, a really great movie trailer sketch in bad taste about this.
ian crossland
This whole thing.
tim pool
Russ too.
The making of Russ.
ian crossland
I have no sympathy for this.
Her family right now, they're not following through taking this guy down and his entire production crew.
tim pool
They're suing him.
ian crossland
I mean, taking him down.
He has tons of money.
He'll pay it out.
tim pool
What do you think they're going to do?
ian crossland
Put him in prison for 30 years.
tim pool
They don't do that.
The state does that.
ian crossland
Put him in prison for a year.
unidentified
Ian.
chris karr
Judge Ian.
tim pool
The state does this.
ian crossland
Yeah, but I mean, where's the pressure from the family?
Where's the guy standing up and saying, he belongs in jail.
He killed my wife.
tim pool
He's thinking, I'd rather just get the $60 million.
ian crossland
He should get both.
It's up to him what he wants.
tim pool
It's not going to come from the family to get legal criminal justice.
The state decides.
People need to understand this.
I don't know if it's true for every state.
I think it is.
There have been so many instances where Someone will file charges, like they'll get attacked.
And then the police will arrest a person and they'll file charges against the person who got arrested.
And then the other person says, I don't want to press charges, I want to withdraw.
And the cops will be like, you aren't pressing charges, we are.
It's the state versus Mr. Smith, not Jane Doe versus John Doe.
We don't need you as a witness because we already have your medical records showing the attack occurred.
Bye-bye.
So it doesn't matter what the individuals want, but typically when someone refuses to press charges, if they say, I don't want to press charge, what they're really saying is, I'm not going to be a cooperating witness for the state and the state will likely lose them.
And so then the state says, okay, get out of here.
We're not going to, we're not going to move forward.
There's no complaint.
And not to mention that, like, do you really want to be a prosecutor?
Who's like, I've got no witness, no victim.
So it's just conjecture.
And I'd rather not file the paperwork to be completely honest, right?
That's probably what's going to happen.
ian crossland
It's a lot of work.
tim pool
Go to court.
ian crossland
They've got a lot of eyewitnesses.
I can't imagine none of them would testify.
tim pool
Considering all of the different lawsuits against Alec Baldwin and his company, you'd think there'd be criminal charges against him instantly for doing this.
I don't care what the reason is, but that's what I'm saying.
It's why I think one of the things about this is a perfect crime.
Alec Baldwin wants to kill someone, do it on a movie set.
You'll never see a day in jail.
chris karr
Russ 2, the perfect crime.
lydia smith
Yes.
chris karr
I like that.
That's pretty good.
lydia smith
Yeah.
chris karr
We gotta make that happen.
unidentified
Damn.
tim pool
And then whenever we show Alec Baldwin, it should be like grainy black and white with like a thunderstorm behind him and he's like... Yeah, like a horror movie.
ian crossland
Yeah, and then like... Then it shows him again, he's real big, you know, with the lightning striking behind him.
unidentified
He's like, yeah.
tim pool
Now's your time to die.
unidentified
No!
tim pool
Oops, it was an accident.
ian crossland
You know what?
I will continue to mock this shooting until they file criminal charges against that guy.
tim pool
Dude, it's so crazy, man.
It's mainstream celebrity.
It's political.
It's the establishment.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
But I'm glad to see that club falling apart, to be honest.
Yeah, maybe some things will change.
ian crossland
I want to talk about Roblox.
tim pool
Well, no, we have this other story I'll just mention really, really quickly from BuzzFeed.
A Rust crew member texted a warning about accidental gun discharges days before Alec Baldwin fatally shot Helena Hutchins.
This is super unsafe.
I mean, we knew the story, but the more I see this stuff, the more it just pushes me towards, I think they set this thing up.
Like, Alec Baldwin's story is so half-brained and like insane and contradictory that I'm like, I see this and I'm just like, I don't believe any of them.
I don't believe any of them, man.
I think Alec Baldwin... You know, so one thing I think we just heard recently with Nick Cersei, though, is they had A crew and B crew or something like that because of COVID rules.
A, B, and C. Yeah, so you couldn't be in the same room depending on your crew code or whatever.
ian crossland
Like A could only be in the room with other A's and B and C had to be out of the room.
tim pool
That can explain why it was that the armorer wasn't the one who gave the weapon to Alec Baldwin.
But it doesn't explain why Alec Baldwin threw away his training, why he didn't realize he just shot and killed a person, shot dead center through the chest and through the spine, and he was like, I thought you fainted, and just walks away.
drew hernandez
Yeah, those are the dead giveaways.
tim pool
Plus, he was on the phone.
No, no, he was on the phone right away, right?
So what, someone faints so you get on the phone right away with somebody?
ian crossland
I don't know if it was right away.
I don't know how long between the shooting and him on the phone.
But I'm pretty sure there's pictures of him on the phone outside, like after it happened.
I don't know if it was within a minute or within 20 minutes.
lydia smith
And then he didn't turn his phone over.
He refused to turn his phone over.
ian crossland
Probably because of his conversation.
tim pool
Didn't he eventually do it?
Exactly.
lydia smith
Yeah, it took a long time.
Exactly.
Why?
tim pool
Somebody he called, something he was setting up.
chris karr
It has been done.
The weaving of a conspiracy is starting to make a little bit more sense.
ian crossland
I'm actually crying right now for the cameras.
They're taking pictures of me as I'm talking to you.
tim pool
Well, the conspiracy theory is that this Helena Hutchins woman was a journalist before she got involved in cinematography and she was doing these investigations.
So the conspiracy theorists think that she was still actively investigating something and that she was taken out.
I don't know about any of that stuff, man.
That is interesting.
chris karr
It's enticing, though.
tim pool
I think you got a story of a hothead movie star.
He shoved a guy in the street and got sued over it.
He screamed at his kid and called her a little piggy pig or something like that, you little pig.
And so he's known for having a bad temper.
We know the crew was fighting with him.
He lied several times about his story.
Isn't it just a simple solution that sometimes people commit murder?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's it.
ian crossland
It's a...
Well, yeah, that is a simple solution.
Applying it to this is a little more complicated because we don't know where the bullet came from.
I want to know.
tim pool
That's why I'm saying he committed a murder.
It came from him.
He got a bullet.
He put it in the gun.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Why was he using a real gun?
lydia smith
That's the simplest solution.
ian crossland
Gotta get the shot.
And what I mean is the camera angle.
It's gotta look right on camera is what I meant by gotta get the shot.
tim pool
The lawsuit is flat out saying that they have prop guns for test filming, like actual replicas
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
and rubber guns.
Why was using a real single action revolver with live ammo in it?
Okay.
Maybe what happened was the assistant director hated Helena and set Alec up and broke the
The sear is the piece inside that holds the hammer back.
He broke it on purpose.
And that's why he said Alec Baldwin's finger was off the trigger and he pulled the hammer back and it went off!
On a functioning single action that wouldn't happen.
But maybe it was an old weapon and the sear had been worn down and wasn't working properly.
So when he pulled the hammer back it just released right away and slammed into the rock.
ian crossland
That's gross negligence by the production company if that's what the case was.
Handing Alec a messed up gun is negligence.
tim pool
No, what gets me is all the people on Twitter who defended Alec Baldwin when I was tweeting about it.
And they're like, clearly you don't know anything about how movie sets work.
And I'm like, I do.
Whenever you hand someone a gun, it is the responsibility of the person holding the gun, period, no matter what, at all times.
Don't care.
ian crossland
Yeah, and that brings me back to my question.
If two 18-year-olds have a camera set up in their living room and one pulls up a gun and she points it and shoots it, but there's a bullet in it, does that kid go to prison?
Or guy, 20-year-olds?
unidentified
Of course!
ian crossland
Just because there's a movie camera on doesn't matter.
He should have checked the gun.
chris karr
Right.
tim pool
Should have done a lot of things.
But here we are, man.
I don't know, what a crazy story.
Ian came in here and he was like, there's a video of it.
And I was like, no.
Because everybody was saying they filmed it, right?
They filmed what happened?
ian crossland
Oh, literally?
tim pool
They're filming, right?
ian crossland
Well, they might have been between takes.
I don't know if it was rolling.
You guys got to watch this video, by the way.
It's not a real video.
No, it's a CGI.
And there's music, which is a little manipulative.
You know, it makes it creepy.
But just watching the flow of it, it just looks so blatant on Alex's part.
Thoughtless and blatant.
tim pool
I mean the video they made shows Alec just sitting there and then he grabs the gun and goes BANG and shoots her.
chris karr
Like Manchurian Candidate.
unidentified
Yeah.
Lifeless eyes.
It's definitely computer.
drew hernandez
It's pretty accurate on that front.
unidentified
It's pretty wild, yeah.
ian crossland
It just shows him sitting there.
It's like a perfect rendition of his face.
Perfectly calm.
Looks like he's plotting something.
tim pool
I think the story's important because it shows how people who are aligned with the establishment can just basically get away with it.
ian crossland
It shows how COVID restrictions can mess up a movie site so you can't have your armorer on set with your acting A team.
Apparently, if that's possible, they have an A, B, and C team, which is completely Unethical for someone to put those people in that position of danger where the armor can't deliver the gun to the actor.
Yeah.
If that's the case, there's a lot of things that this has blown out of proportion and that production company is liable for her death.
For her.
tim pool
That's why everybody's getting sued, but you can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.
They were already on a low budget production, so I don't know what they're going to have left anyway.
unidentified
No.
ian crossland
I keep thinking about Roblox, you guys.
Do you guys know what Roblox is?
Have you heard of it?
I've been hearing about it, and I'm like, oh, what is it, Minecraft?
unidentified
OK.
ian crossland
Turns out it's the third largest video game company in the world, next to Nintendo, after Nintendo.
And they're basically a video game making platform.
And what they do is they give the software away for free to little kids to make video games, but what they call them is experiences on Roblox.
Because if they call them games, they wouldn't be allowed to put Roblox on the App Store.
So they have 200 million or 2 million or whatever experiences that these kids have made.
And then other kids can go buy the games.
And then the kids that make the game get like 17% of the money or something.
And so it's basically this child sweatshops of digital game creation.
They're having these kids build the metaverse.
Now they're starting them off and it's a corporation.
The kids don't have access to the Roblox code.
So if they want to go make their own Roblox, they can't.
They're stuck learning how to build within the Roblox corporation system.
So we have to either make this software free or plan for a An eternity of servitude until we can shake these people out of it, because these kids are desperate for money right now.
tim pool
Maybe that's it.
Maybe we're not in a simulation.
We're in the metaverse.
That's it.
ian crossland
And physics is the code, like math is the code.
tim pool
Like the universe, you know, people are like, it's a simulation that we're all in.
No, we're just in, we're in Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse.
ian crossland
Yes, because if you go into the metaverse and you don't have the code of the system, it's like, it's like not knowing math in this reality and them hiding that from you.
Don't let it happen, man.
tim pool
All right, let's go to Super Chats.

They say, Tim, when are you going to have another guest on like Vosh that speaks in leftist platitudes to mask ignorance?
Seriously, though, please tell him he'd be more effective speaking the common vernacular.
You know what really works for the left?
And we saw this back during GamerGate with a lot of these personalities who were, you know, prominent feminist academics.
Jargon works because it makes people think that you're smarter than they are and that you should follow them or listen to them because they're smart.
So they say things using really big words that make no sense instead of simplified language to convey real ideas.
chris karr
That's why indoctrination on college campuses is so effective.
tim pool
It's like, I think George Carlin has a good bit about it.
When he was like, shell shock.
You ever hear his bit on shell shock?
And he's like, you know, over time we keep making it more, more serious.
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
Like it's longer and more like, you know, verbose.
Yeah, because that's what people in left are attracted to.
There you go.
All right, Raymond says, Wait, Tim is not far right?
I don't know.
Wikipedia says so.
Actually, Wikipedia calls me a weirdo centrist.
Yeah, they're like, yeah, it says like, Vice says that I'm left and right.
But it's funny because, you know, my Wikipedia page is always locked.
And then as soon as I unlock it, it gets vandalized like crazy with other random garbage.
Hey, Wikipedia, I invented a Zeppelin.
The Let's Go Brandon blimp.
And I don't see that going up on Wikipedia.
They took that article down.
Here's what you do.
The article, I don't know where it is, it's the Guardian somewhere, that claims I invented a Zeppelin, is retroactively correct, and I demand it be put back in my Wikipedia profile.
So as it is spoken, so shall it be done.
All right.

Look, I'm not gonna give anybody financial advice, but I'm just gonna say, if it were me, and I had accounts with TD Bank, and I heard they froze people's accounts for political reasons, I would pull my money out of that bank so fast, not for political reasons, Because they're going to freeze your money!
unidentified
Exactly.
lydia smith
Someday.
tim pool
Yeah, you don't know when it's coming, man.
And you're going to wake up one day and you're going to try and go to McDonald's to get your coffee and they're going to be like, your cart's declined, sir.
And you're going to be like, no, that can't be right.
And they're going to be like, you're going to pull up your app and say, frozen, frozen, frozen.
You're going to be like, whoa, I need gas.
What am I going to do?
And they're going to be like, sir, we couldn't help but notice that you were posting on social media and in support of an insurgent, insurrectionist movement.
So we've frozen all of your money.
Yeah, sorry.
I'd rather have a big envelope full of cash under my mattress than put money in a TD Bank account.
lydia smith
I changed my bank for much less than that.
tim pool
Yeah.
lydia smith
Sure did.
tim pool
I did.
I was at a Wells Fargo once.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Years and years ago.
And I can't remember what happened.
It was something really petty.
Yeah, me too.
They made me wait and then were kind of rude to me when I was politely waiting.
So then I walked up and said, you know, I was going to make a deposit, but I'm changing my mind.
Withdraw all of it.
And there's a Bank of America literally across the street, 10 feet.
And I walked in and I was like, I'll go with you instead.
ian crossland
I got a story I'd like for you guys to hear.
I was with Bank of America and I cashed a check that I got from someone on Craigslist.
First red flag, don't ever do that.
Don't ever take a check from someone.
$1,500 or $1,000.
And they cashed it and they gave me all the money immediately.
So I spent it within like 10 minutes, 800 of it, of the thousand.
And then like a day went by and they're like, actually the check bounced.
We have to take the money back.
So they put me at negative $800 in my account.
And I was like, yo, I called him up.
I'm a customer of the bank.
You sold me the money.
You can't take it back.
And she was like, I agree with you, sir, but there's nothing we can, I can do.
Wow.
Canceled it.
Never went back.
tim pool
Yeah.
I don't think you understand Ian.
There's nothing they can do.
unidentified
Huh.
tim pool
If you give them a check as on a level, and they give you the cash, and then later on turns out they shouldn't have given you the money, that's on them.
ian crossland
That's what I'm saying.
They can't take that back.
They already cashed the check.
tim pool
Well, no, no, no.
Hold on.
Ian, they literally can't.
And they didn't, did they?
ian crossland
They gave me the money, and then I spent it, and then they took the money back, as in they gave me a negative charge.
tim pool
And then you stopped using the account.
ian crossland
And then I canceled my account with them.
Yeah, yo, Ian, if I walk up to you and say, Ian- And they put me on creditors, had coming after me and stuff.
tim pool
If I come after you and say, you owe me $100.
You could just say no.
ian crossland
But they had creditors hitting me for years.
They still get stuff in the mail.
tim pool
It's like, it's such... After seven years, it's no longer legal.
ian crossland
Yeah, but they send letters to you, and if you respond to the letter, then it kicks it back on again, and you gotta wait another seven years.
They try and trick you.
You don't respond?
Yeah, they try and trick you into paying.
tim pool
But let me just ask, why were you cashing a check from Craigslist?
ian crossland
I was living in L.A.
and I was working doing body work on the beach, just living paycheck to paycheck, and I sold a bunch of my magic cards for money.
And the guy was like, I'll just give you $1,500 for all of them, because he didn't want to go through them one by one.
tim pool
And he gave you a check.
ian crossland
And he gave me a check.
But I did get $800 out of it.
tim pool
Bank of America shouldn't have.
But for checks like that, the banks hold the money first.
ian crossland
They're supposed to make sure the check is clear before they give me the money.
They should have done that.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
ian crossland
Or just gave me the money and walked away.
unidentified
I don't know.
chris karr
Yeah.
tim pool
Valkyria says, Ian, you're weird, you're random, but I'll still give you a bear hug.
Love you, mate, and the rest of the gang.
Two more days till Total Warhammer 3.
Blood for the blood god.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Do you play Warhammer, Ian?
ian crossland
I played a little bit of Total War, Warhammer 2 and 1.
But I never really... I played Warhammer Tabletop.
Did you guys ever play that?
Space Marines?
Grey Wolves?
No.
The Eldar I think are my favorite.
There's these like alien elves that have really high-tech weaponry.
Distortion cannons that can make things vanish, like from thin air.
drew hernandez
That was more Halo.
ian crossland
Deep particle Halo.
tim pool
Sounds good.
drew hernandez
Space Marines.
tim pool
Let's read this.
We got Raymond the Turk Longwell says, Bro, Michael is 40 today.
Happy birthday, Michael.
When he sees this later drunk, he'll be happier than Luke is when he's forcing signatures to work out.
Signatures?
lydia smith
Yeah, for the vlog.
Yeah, he made everyone sign a thing saying they'd work out.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
All right.
All right.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, happy birthday, Michael.
Happy birthday.
lydia smith
Happy birthday.
tim pool
Let's grab some more Super Chats.
Let's see what we got.
That's right.
Ricky Kays says Ottawa police chief resigns.
It's Me says they can turn the protest on its head by just driving five miles an hour.
Now what's the government going to do?
And same effect.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what I was saying before.
If a bunch of truckers just drove, they could be like, hey, you're blocking the road.
And they'll be like, I'm not trying to, I'm driving.
But there's just so many trucks here.
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Imagine if you had the Freedom Convoy, you know, with how many thousands of truckers.
Instead of actually just barricading any bridge or anything, they just drove.
It would just be jammed up.
And then you go in circles.
drew hernandez
What was that one CNN analyst?
She was like, her solution was like, slash their tires.
And everyone on Twitter was like, uh, so you're just going to slash like hundreds of tires.
It just kind of defeats the purpose.
tim pool
So people were commenting, like, if you do that, they'll burst.
drew hernandez
Literally burst.
tim pool
Yeah.
You'll get a lot of pressure on there.
Don't do that.
Yup.
Michelle says, all Trudeau has to do is comply and the mandates and all the truckers will go home.
It really shouldn't be that difficult.
Yeah, seriously.
Think about being one of these crackpot authoritarians supporting this.
No, you should comply and just take the injection.
Your body is meaningless.
Creepy, man.
All right.
What is this?
Jeremy Wian says, yes, because farmers and plumbers want to rule the world.
Certainly don't.
Okami says, I knew that guy.
Not only was he a psychotic lefty, he also used his meager fame in the local punk scene to keep on young teenage girls.
I don't know who they're referring to.
Who are they referring to?
ian crossland
I guess it's the guy that tried to assassinate the mayor.
tim pool
Oh, right, right, right, right.
lydia smith
Yikes.
tim pool
Creepy.
Ian Bridges says, Tim, the firearms seized at the Alberta-Montana border were mostly from a local residence, not from vehicles.
The media lies all the time.
lydia smith
Oh, interesting.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
John Boy says, Jordan Peterson interviewed one of the truckers.
He said what they want is an end to the VAX mandate and passport.
Ghislaine Maxwell convicted in Epstein case, so media coverage there more interested in Rogan.
Interesting.
Michael says, I'm a boomer and I'm watching you.
Yes, there are many boomers who watch.
lydia smith
Thank you.
tim pool
But, uh, you know, my point was about boomers aging out is not meant to be disrespectful.
It's just that, you know, boomers are aging.
And so they're less likely to be in industry and corporations and politics.
Although for some reason in politics, they're sticking around in, in DC, man.
Greasy Nails says, is it always a charge of misinformation without giving an example?
Also, Fortinberry, what is the deal?
Is he getting the... Hughesco from the FBI?
What is that?
lydia smith
I don't know.
unidentified
I don't know what that means.
tim pool
Hughesco?
lydia smith
I'm not sure.
tim pool
Don't know what that is.
lydia smith
Oh, sorry.
tim pool
Lumberjack says, this is what a progressive woke leader does, acting like a dictator.
Keyword acting, drama teacher.
Ian, we need your mental energy.
So say we all, this is the way, hunk.
Oh, there you go.
ian crossland
Okay, thanks.
I'm going to fix my posture so the energy can flow.
There you go.
tim pool
Carolyn says, Tim, I'm 60 years old and a proud Boomer.
I'm a fan.
Can you please stop telling me I'm dying every chance you get?
Thank you.
unidentified
With all due respect, aging out means a variety of things.
tim pool
It doesn't mean you're dying.
lydia smith
Like retiring.
tim pool
Yeah, like retiring.
So when Gen Z and millennials are aging in, you have a millennial being appointed to the CEO of a new company.
That millennial energy is coming in.
You know, let me just say, you know, the Boomers, I could be wrong, but Boomers are the ones who made Next Generation, right?
It was Boomers, right?
chris karr
Oh, yeah.
lydia smith
Yep.
chris karr
Still living with the consequences.
tim pool
You did good.
And then Gen Xers and Boomers joined forces to make shows like Stargate.
And what other good stuff was there in the late 90s?
ian crossland
Indiana Jones.
unidentified
Firefly.
tim pool
Firefly was pretty good.
Stargate was great.
Stargate was so great.
Yeah, that was Boomers and Gen X's teaming up.
ian crossland
Battlestar was around before.
tim pool
Then Millennials came in and they were just like, But can we make it so, like, the hero's in a wheelchair?
We're like, okay.
lydia smith
Way to go.
ian crossland
The hero's not good enough and the villain's not bad enough.
Make it more obvious.
tim pool
But can we make the hero a villain who steals clothing from a guy on a motorcycle because he tells her to smile?
lydia smith
And is a girl.
tim pool
Actually, isn't the guy who made Ghostbusters 2016, he was a Gen Xer wasn't he?
lydia smith
I don't know.
unidentified
Paul Feige or whatever his name is.
ian crossland
Oh yeah, oh that guy.
chris karr
Probably.
ian crossland
Captain Marvel where she stole the motorcyclists.
That's Terminator 2, they just ripped it off of Terminator 2.
tim pool
He's like, you should smile more!
And then she steals his clothes.
lydia smith
Derivative.
tim pool
But I guess the point was she's supposed to be a bad guy, brainwashed or whatever.
But it was just so obvious what they were going for with Captain Marvel where it's like, There's a man who suppressed her power by putting a device on her.
And in the end, she realizes she has the power all along and breaks free or something.
And he keeps telling her to control her emotions.
No, for real.
He's like, you need to control your emotions.
She's like, oh.
And it's like, what?
She has suit.
It made no sense because we're talking about she can shoot energy beams from her hands.
She doesn't need to control that.
She needs to use that as a weapon against bad guys.
And he's like, control your emotions.
Don't use your energy weapons or whatever.
ian crossland
He's right, but there's a better way to communicate that with someone than tell them to stop.
tim pool
And then she's got this thing suppressing it.
I don't understand why they would give her all of these powers and bring her on the team if they didn't want her to use it.
It was basically just like, you know, and then it's like, no man's going to keep me down.
You know?
lydia smith
Oh snap.
Z snap.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Oh my gosh.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Let's read.
Let's read.
Trey Allen says, Ian mentioning why do listen to these people in wigs reminds me of Always Sunny.
The gang cracks the Liberty Bell.
I haven't seen that in a long time.
All right.
2D System says, is it against YouTube TOS to call for everyone to just not file their taxes this year?
I think it is.
I think it's illegal.
ian crossland
I like the idea of organizing mass civil disobedience with internet video, but you got to be careful with terms of service and stuff too.
I would err on the side of like, if you're going to do it, do it on your own network.
But you know, once the video's up, they pull it down.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
I think everyone should be happy and proud to pay their taxes.
Yeah, of course.
I just want to know where they go.
chris karr
No, we're good.
tim pool
Well, that's the point.
We should be, but we're not.
We're not happy.
You know, there's a great meme.
Someone said, as a lefty, they were like, I would like universal health care.
And then they were like, conservative response.
Well, then who's going to pay for it?
And they're like, me, you idiot.
Stop taking my money to blow up kids.
And I'm like, My other solution is like, stop taking my money to blow up kids, let me keep it, and I'll buy health care with that too.
I'm down for either left or right populist responses.
ian crossland
Thomas Massey was saying we could repeal the Department of Education or do whatever to remove it, $400 million a year, then we could split that to the states, $8 million per state for teachers.
chris karr
There you go.
lydia smith
Interesting.
That might be a good approach.
tim pool
No, I'm not a fan of that.
ian crossland
Of splitting up the DOE?
tim pool
I don't like public education.
unidentified
Hmm.
Yeah.
lydia smith
Give it to families.
ian crossland
Yeah, if you give it to families.
tim pool
I think we need, uh, I think we'd be much, much better off with like a voucher system, maybe.
ian crossland
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
lydia smith
Families.
So they can go wherever they want.
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
You choose.
Well, how do you pronounce this?
K. O'Shea says, B.C.
Canuck here.
The Convoy Freedom protests have been inspiring, finally giving a sliver of hope after two long years.
However, every day I fail to shake off a dread that grips me hard.
I'm worried about where this all leads.
chris karr
That nails it.
That's exactly how I feel about this situation.
tim pool
The night is always darkest before the dawn.
lydia smith
Yeah.
chris karr
Fair enough.
tim pool
Yep.
We got a couple people, Dabab and Ted, mentioning Defiant L's was suspended on Twitter today.
lydia smith
Yeah, I saw that.
tim pool
Bummer.
This is from John.
He says, 28 caliber is actually a thing.
It's equivalent to 7mm.
So a 7mm Remington Magnum is a .284 caliber bullet.
Kind of like the 5.56 is a .223, so basically 28 caliber is a thing, but no one refers to it that way.
So look, but sure, but you're saying a .284.
The point is, in the film The Dark Knight, The guy on the stand pulls a gun, it fails to fire, misfires, and then Harvey Dent grabs it, takes it apart, and he goes, Chinese-made .20 caliber.
If you want to kill a public official, I recommend you buy American.
And they're all clapping.
I remember when I first watched the movie, I was like, yeah.
And then I watched it again a few months ago, now having purchased many guns, and I was like, and I went 28.
I was like, I don't have any of those.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
And I looked it up.
And as soon as you Google it, it's like, it's not a thing.
lydia smith
That's funny.
tim pool
They couldn't have even asked somebody.
He could have said nine millimeter, you know, or he could have said like something Chinese.
I don't know.
Making a reference to a gun made in China.
I don't know.
I imagine... I actually don't have any Chinese-made guns.
All of my guns are American.
I have a Turkish.
lydia smith
How dare you?
drew hernandez
How dare you say something like that, Tim?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
That I don't have any Chinese-made guns?
drew hernandez
Yeah, how dare you say something like that?
Look where you are.
unidentified
In the United States of China.
drew hernandez
You can't say stuff like that on YouTube.
What's wrong with you?
tim pool
Oh yeah, that's right.
All right, Joshua Ryman says, Tim, I've been watching since May 2020.
You brought hope and solace where at the time there was none of.
I am in Madison, Wisconsin, conservative and a member of Timcast.
My family and I believe.
Keep pushing forward and God bless.
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate it.
Let's see.
Bookworm says, Tim, your crypto bait-and-switch theory you've mentioned a few times is not new.
Look up Nisara.
Some people calling it the quantum financial reset, and I think it's benevolent.
Others think it's planned and reasoned for QSYOP.
Yeah, I've heard about that stuff, but that's not necessarily the same thing.
I mean, I get it.
Bitcoin exists and people are doing stuff with it, and all of these big financial institutions are adopting it.
What are we hearing now?
There's rumors, maybe this is actually out there, that the oil companies are going to get into the mining game.
Do you hear that?
unidentified
Interesting.
tim pool
I think that was Bloomberg.
ian crossland
I tweeted out that I thought maybe corporations shouldn't be able to own crypto.
And I don't know why I thought that.
It was really a rudimentary thought, but that if they're going to take crypto, which they could, it would just go straight through to the employees.
lydia smith
Interesting.
ian crossland
It just seems very dangerous to let corporations have a personality when it comes to finance.
tim pool
Kevin says, I live in Anaheim.
Hell yeah, Disney owns us.
Town of Mouse.
I was down there when, um, during the riots in Anaheim, several, like, almost 10 years ago now.
And it was crazy, the response.
They had police on horseback with bokken.
That is- Is that the two balls with the- No, that's a bolus.
ian crossland
Oh, a bolus.
tim pool
Look it up.
lydia smith
Boken?
tim pool
I think it's called a Boken.
ian crossland
B-O-K-K-E-N?
tim pool
Is that what it is?
ian crossland
I think so.
lydia smith
It's a Japanese weapon or something?
tim pool
It's a wooden sword.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's a long Japanese wooden sword.
ian crossland
Used for training in Kenjutsu.
tim pool
Yeah.
And so they're riding horseback with these really long wooden swords, you know, like guiding people and like swinging them around.
chris karr
That's real.
tim pool
Blue Sea says, Tim, some Gen X parents had kids age 35+.
We watch you and have Gen Z teens, so there is hope.
That is good to hear.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, you know, we talk about generations, but there is a wave.
It's a gradient.
It's not like everyone is just 35 and 25.
Although, you know, there are some people who probably envision a world in which everything
is deeply controlled and people just, you know, breed when told.
They're concerned about population growth.
They don't want people having too many children and things like that.
So then they can, oh, interesting.
Divine Owls was suspended for ban evasion.
lydia smith
For what?
tim pool
Ban evasion.
lydia smith
Oh, interesting.
Hmm.
tim pool
I call BS.
lydia smith
Yeah, I don't believe that.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Trunet on a date.
Technically correct.
Pressure Batacavcare says, in the words of the great Rakeda, under every judge's robe
is just a naked dude or woman.
lydia smith
I mean, yes.
Yeah?
Technically correct.
There you go.
Kind of correct.
tim pool
Christopher says, Tim, my wife and I moved to West Virginia this year.
The freedom is amazing.
We want to raise chickens.
Yes.
What do you do with your males?
We don't want to kill them only because they're inconvenient.
Love the show.
Can't wait to visit Freedomistan.
So, um, well, we have five roosters.
In Chicken City, we've removed the Black Star Chickens and sent them off to Fredamistan, which is their, you know, their own little version now.
I hope they're doing all right.
We have people there taking care of them, but as we're building the new space.
We only have two roosters here now, and it's Roberto and his son, Roberto Jr.
And they get along just fine.
They have a massive amount of space.
There have been no problems.
So what I was told by several people is that because he was a baby and grew up around all of them and the rooster, they're fine and they won't fight.
But there may come a time when they're both fully grown and then Roberto Jr.
says, I'm in charge now.
But what I read is it's a misconception that roosters kill each other.
They only do if you take two different roosters who don't know each other and put them in a small confined space.
But if they grow up together, they have a pecking order, they should be fine.
That being said, you try to keep them separated and try to make sure the roosters have enough- Is there always an alpha rooster?
ian crossland
If there's like 20 of them on a farm, there's a pecking order?
lydia smith
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, so I used to live next to somebody who had like 50 chickens, and they just separated into flocks.
So they can freely move about in the field, but like, you know, one group of chickens with one rooster over here, and then one rooster over here, and then one rooster over here, and they kind of just did their own thing, you know?
They had their own crew.
It is really funny to see that we introduced the three babies, the first ones we raised, when we introduced them back into Chicken City.
Now that they've, you know, all become part of the same flock, it's funny to see Roberto, who's the dad, be very protective of them.
You know, when I'm trying to, like, clean things out or move something and he's, like, yelling at me.
Here's the crazy thing.
Roberto Jr., who is, like, he grew up with these two hens.
I was trying to herd them back inside.
I was letting them go out and eat berries and, you know, eat grass.
And then when I was trying to wiggle a stick at him to get him to go, he runs up and bows his head and, like, puffs his wings out like he was gonna fight me.
And I'm like, man, he's a man now.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
We raised him from a little baby who hatched out of that egg, and we watched it.
Now he's all tough, like, hey, you stay away from my girls.
ian crossland
Is Junior the one that was singing?
That had, like, the unique... No.
tim pool
No, Mr. Singer's one of the black stars.
He had a weird, a weird, you know, he didn't peep.
He had, like, a whistle.
ian crossland
Of the two, Roberto and Roberto Jr., they have different crows.
What are they called?
What's the sound called that they make?
tim pool
Crow?
ian crossland
Crow, yeah.
It's very, very unique.
I can tell, hearing both throughout the day, they come on at different times.
tim pool
Well, the funny thing is when Roberto Jr.
was first learning how to crow, he kept falling.
lydia smith
He's trying really hard.
tim pool
Yeah.
But now he's got the hang of it and he's doing all right.
But it's different, right?
lydia smith
It's cute.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more Super Chats.
Let's see.
Chrome leader says if you can prove he had control of the recoil, you can prove guilt.
That's interesting.
If he was firing and anticipated a blank and it like not pull his hand back or something, if he was anticipating it and pull the trigger and control, you could make an argument that he knew it was loaded.
Especially if his finger was off the trigger.
I got to tell you, man.
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but my understanding is, if I was holding a gun, and... I'll put it this way.
We've got... I've got a KSG-25, right?
It's a pump-action shotgun with two mag tubes.
It holds 25 shells, one in the chamber and 12 in each chamber.
You can put in, like, turkey shot or something, 12-gauge, and then buckshot on the other side.
Or, you know what, I shouldn't even say that.
If you take a shotgun and you put, you know, birdshot, then buckshot, and you tell someone it's only got birdshot, they are going to be very, very surprised when the buckshot goes off.
It's going to be very different.
So granted, shotguns are much more powerful.
I think it's funny when Joe Biden's like, get a shotgun.
I'm like, if you can't handle a shot, I don't know if people can handle shotguns, man.
They're not as simple as people make them out to be.
ian crossland
Are these semi-automatic, the KSG?
tim pool
No, it's not.
I said pump action.
ian crossland
Oh, pump action.
Are semi-automatic shotguns illegal?
tim pool
I think in Maryland, if they have a pistol grip and they're semi-auto, they're illegal.
If they're semi-automatic with a rifle grip, I think they're legal.
But you could have a pistol grip and pump, and it's fine.
But the point is, Alec Baldwin anticipating the recoil, I think is very interesting.
Yeah, because that's something.
Moving that slug out, and he anticipated it.
The fact that he said he didn't know she had a child with a live bullet, I'm calling BS on.
lydia smith
Yeah, no way.
unidentified
It's gotta be a lie.
tim pool
Like, we've got a variety, you know, over in West Virginia, a variety of different shotgun shell types.
And when I'm talking to people and training them, I always like to give them, like, snake shot, like game load, something really weak.
But you're not gonna give someone a slug on their first, you know, attempt at firing a weapon.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So you give them something lighter.
For him to be in control of it.
I just, I just say BS, man.
I say BS.
It's me says Baldwin is producer.
Lots, lots to lose.
Yup.
Man, this is crazy stuff.
Let's read some more.
Leslie Dow says he didn't react to her death because he's a sociopath.
Ryan says Alec Baldwin said she was intense.
That's right.
Is that how you describe your friends?
unidentified
No.

No, absolutely not.
It's like a semi-negative thing to call somebody.
You know what I mean?
lydia smith
It's neutral.
tim pool
You're an intense person.
lydia smith
Yeah, it's neutral.
tim pool
Well, it's a neutral way of criticizing them.
lydia smith
Right.
tim pool
Like, who wants to be around someone who's intense all the time?
lydia smith
Stressful, yeah.
tim pool
Jesus, I think Alec Baldwin, playing Trump for so long, rubbed off on him.
Rubbed off on him, i.e.
I can shoot a man on the White House lawn and everyone will still love me.
He believed his own press in his mind.
ian crossland
There's something to that.
You know, Heath Ledger did The Joker and then took his life basically shortly after.
And I'm acting, when you get into method acting and you act, you really believe you are the character while you're doing it to make it real, it does change your brain chemistry.
drew hernandez
It was like Jim Carrey.
What was that movie?
chris karr
Man on the Moon.
tim pool
Expedition says, first assistant director here.
Armorer is a crew and should be the one who gives weapon.
First AD, Armorer and actor, all in Spectrum and together.
Every take and every time gun is brought out.
Sloppy on protocols.
Or intentional!
That's what I'm saying.
How do you assume that multiple people all made the perfect mistake that allowed him to pull out a gun and shoot a woman?
And then be like, I don't know.
ian crossland
It's like monkeys with typewriters.
lydia smith
Yeah, seriously.
tim pool
Yup.
Alright, let's see what we got.
Someone said something.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Let's see.
Don White says, Defiant L's being banned from Twitter is unbelievable.
That account was nothing more than a mirror.
Yeah.
lydia smith
Didn't like the mirror.
tim pool
HeiserFlip says, will you ever have David Pakman on?
Do you agree with anything he says?
David is always welcome to come on.
lydia smith
Yes.
tim pool
And I think David is wrong because I don't think David does journalism.
And I don't mean that as a... I don't mean that disrespectfully.
When Dave Rubin told, I think he tweeted AOC, like, hey someone on your team thinks I'm a journalist, please stop sending this to me.
No, no, he was like, please stop sending me your press releases.
And then she responded with, oh, someone must have thought you were a journalist.
We'll get you removed promptly.
All these leftists were like, oh, sick burn!
And it's like, Dave Rubin was never a journalist.
He's a comedian.
He's a comedian political commentator.
So he was like, I'm not a journalist.
Don't send me these.
And they were acting like it was a burn.
It just makes no sense.
So anyway, what I mean is, there have been, I haven't watched as much of David's stuff in a while as I used to.
But you know, I mentioned often how when Ted Cruz correctly cited Politico and the New York Times pertaining to Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election to help Democrats, Instead of actually Google searching the stories to see if it was true, David just mocked Trump.
And I'm just like, it's a weird thing.
Because it takes you five seconds to do this.
To look up the New York Times article that says Ukrainian court rules that, you know, individuals meddled in the election to help Democrats, you can just look that up.
It takes you five seconds.
It's the New York Times.
But David didn't even do that.
So my opinion on David is, he's entitled to his opinions on certain things.
We have different politics.
But I think over the past several years, he's just, his show is based on, you know, look, he provides commentary on the commentary of others.
Like in that circumstance, he was watching Meet the Press and then commenting on the opinions of Meet the Press instead of doing research.
And one other example, and it's been a long time, so I think it would be a great conversation.
We ran two videos on the same day.
One said Donald Trump's approval rating, you know, disapproval all-time high, and mine was Donald Trump's approval rating all-time high.
How could that be possible?
Well, David used a single poll.
I used an aggregate poll.
In aggregate, Donald Trump's approval rating reached its highest point.
In a single poll, Donald Trump's approval rating was as low as it's ever been.
That's the difference, I suppose, in, you know, at least how I view our content.
But of course, then, if you're a leftist, you look at David's stuff, and you're like, see, he's right.
Everybody hates Trump.
And then they see my content, and they're like, he's lying.
That's not true.
You know?
We've all seen the poll, and I'm like, I'm talking about the RealClearPolitics average, which includes all of the polls.
And I look at FiveThirtyEight.
I like Civics a lot, though, too, for its timeline.

Drew, you want to shout anything out?
drew hernandez
Yes, I have a big announcement.
I signed a deal with Turning Point USA.
We will be launching a show called Frontlines.
I'll be hosting five days a week.
It'll be at 2 p.m.
Pacific Standard Time every single day, and we will be covering the news every single day, but also we will be deploying journalists.
We're setting up a team as well and connecting with journalists and on-the-ground reporters worldwide because You know, I think we have seen this decline in journalism, we've seen this decline in reporting, and I think one of the most essential centerpieces, this is just my opinion, I know a lot of journalists may disagree, is actual on-the-ground reporting, like having people there.
Because we could sit here and comment on the news, Uh, but I think we get stuff wrong sometimes because we're not actually there and none of us are perfect, but that's kind of what we want to start bringing more to the table with my show as well as actually talking to the people on the ground, getting what's going on worldwide, not only the United States.
That's coming down the pike soon, and my first episode will be this upcoming Tuesday, and I promised all my followers and my audience that I would eventually do something with Kyle Rittenhouse, so just publicly, Kyle will be my first guest on episode one this Tuesday.
Breaking down what we both went through during the trial and what he has coming down, which he has some pretty big announcements coming next week.
You'll hear it on my show only.
So I'm excited for that.
Thank you guys.
You guys can follow me on Twitter, Drew H. Live.
You can follow me on my YouTube channel.
I think that's in the description.
I think we'll put it in.
So thank you guys for having me.
It's going to be awesome.
chris karr
All right.
I just want to shout out our amazing journalists on the team.
We've got the head writer Hannah Clare, the tireless Michael, we've got Jay Lee, we've got Charlie, we've got the fearless Salad, and of course we have our esteemed editor-in-chief, the unstoppable, indefatigable force of nature, that is Cassandra McDonald.
unidentified

Yeah, Drew, that comes in podcast form, right?
Eventually?
drew hernandez
I think they're going to run it with the podcast.
But right now we're just launching the live show.
And I'm just super stoked because it's going to be awesome to see how this... It's like my madness coming into their world.
And I think people are really going to start to see how that unfolds.
Because one of the main things I wanted to get across was like, I'm going to be me.
I'm going to stay me.
Not going to change me.
I'm just going to continue doing what I'm doing on a bigger platform.
And that's the goal.
lydia smith
Yeah, absolutely.
I love that all my on-the-ground reporters are really coming into their own.
I think that's awesome and necessary.
