unidentified		you you
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		you Elon Musk is threatening to walk away from the Twitter deal
		But it's a little bit more complicated than that.
		In a letter sent from his lawyers to Twitter, they say that Twitter has breached their contract by not providing Elon Musk with the appropriate data on spam bots.
		Twitter responded saying, we have been very cooperative in sharing data as per the terms of the contract, which is legalese for we're not giving him the data he specifically requested.
		I think Twitter's sabotaging the deal.
		This note apparently came from their top legal department.
		It's Vijaya Gade, who's their head lawyer, who cried reportedly upon hearing that Elon Musk would be buying the company.
		I think it's highly possible That Elon, in order to secure the money for the purchase of Twitter, needs this data.
		They know if he gets it, he can buy it.
		So they're like, we're gonna do the deal, but they're not giving him the information.
		So this is where things get interesting.
		Elon Musk is threatening to walk away.
		People, uh, many people on the left are cheering for this, but they're also arguing that Elon Musk never intended to buy the platform.
		I don't think so.
		We'll go into this, but I think it might be sabotage.
		It is a crazy news day, my friends.
		Milo Yiannopoulos is now interning for Marjorie Taylor Greene.
		Okay, that's gonna be a fun story.
		And then we have the Washington Post suspending veteran reporter Dave Weigel for retweeting somebody who made a joke about women.
		Wow, the corporate press is imploding.
		In the same vein, Taylor Lorenz is being roasted.
		She's being accused of lying in her story, claiming she reached out for a comment, but she didn't.
		We gotta talk about how the mainstream press lies about this stuff.
		There's a bunch of other news we might not get to.
		Gas prices at another all-time high at $4.86.
		Be still.
		Wow, guys, calm, calm.
		I hope we can get through this one.
		This is gonna be scary.
		Well, joining us to talk about all of this is Brandi Kruse.
unidentified		Hi!
		Thanks for having me.
		It's nice to get a break from Seattle.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		Well, thanks for coming.
		Who are you?
unidentified		What do you do?
		Who am I?
		I'm the human to two dogs and a cat.
		The girlfriend to a really sweet man.
		And secondary to that, I am host of the Undivided podcast.
		I am a survivee of the mainstream media.
		I left in November after 10 years as a journalist in the most soul-sucking Place to be a journalist in the country, the city of Seattle.
		I'll fight anyone who wants to argue with that.
		You might, if you're not familiar with me, I was there through the 2020 stuff.
		You might have seen my crew be mobbed out of CHOP, the Occupied Protest Zone.
		You might have seen my awesome security guard disarm some rioters of stolen police rifles, Shooter Roogie.
		And then I decided to leave after the November election for a variety of reasons.
		But I launched the Undivided podcast, which I call Political Commentary for the Anti-Fringe.
		Cool.
		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Thanks for hanging out.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Luke is back!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		How in the world are you still living in Seattle?
unidentified		Welcome back, beautiful and amazing human beings.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's good to be back.
		Of course, the Bilderberg meeting was happening in Washington, D.C.
		As soon as I heard that, I went.
		I dropped everything I had, had a friend drive an RV up, drove up here.
		And of course, I had to cover that event.
		And it was absolutely crazy.
		Linda's already grabbing the microphone, making sure I don't speak up.
		Darn it.
		There's also some strange guy sitting across from me.
		I don't know who he is.
		Lots of things are going on.
		Things are getting very intense.
		And yeah, if you want to support me, you can on BillGatesMeet.com.
		That's an official website that I have commemorating this awesome shirt.
		Yes, if you go to BillGatesMeet.com, you could go there and check out the video that I did about the infamous pregnant women meme that we have decided to digitize and put a picture of Mr. Bill Gates himself I don't think it's working.
		Billgatesmeat.com.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, did you not set it up right?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's set up.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I was just working for me.
unidentified		Meat like meat or meat like meet you?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Meat.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		M-E-A-T.
unidentified		Like the fake meat that he keeps promoting.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I see.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Bill Gates pregnant man meat.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I've been very busy.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Things have been very crazy, and I think they're only gonna get a lot crazier from here, so it's good to be here.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got Seamus!
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Brandy, great to have you on.
		Luke.
		I'm Seamus Coghlan.
unidentified		We just launched a website.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Luke, I'm here because you got scared and ran away.
		Someone couldn't handle the cold weather.
		The old man retired to Florida.
		Now he's back, but you know what they say, out with the new in with the old.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You look older than me.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Great to be back, everybody.
		We're happy Luke's here.
		So I run a channel called Freedom Tunes.
		We upload a video every week, sometimes twice a week.
		We also just launched a paywall.
		FreedomTunes.com.
		Become a member for five bucks a month.
		You'll get an extra cartoon each week, plus behind the scenes content, and you will be helping fight the establishment by supporting independent content.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So Luke came up and took the Ireland artwork and put it in the garbage.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		He literally did, which a fan spent quite a lot of time making, Luke.
		And you disrespected him as well as an entire nation of people.
		You ought to be ashamed.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It smelled like potatoes and whiskey, to be fair.
		And I didn't know what to do with it.
		And clearly it was in the wrong position.
		It was in the wrong place.
		It was in the wrong place.
unidentified		Neither of those things are bad smells.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		No, he was getting hungry sitting there.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It smelled like chickens too.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, wish me luck corralling this crazy crew tonight.
		I'm very excited to have Miss Brandy over from the left coast.
		Stoked to hear about Seattle.
		Hopefully, I'm sure it can't be any worse.
unidentified		Are you stoked to hear about Seattle?
unidentified		Yeah.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay.

		Far away.

		But don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
		Let's jump into the first story from CNN Business.
		You know we love CNN.
unidentified		We do.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		CNN reports Elon Musk threatens to walk away from Twitter deal.
		Interesting choice of headline based on what the story is.
		It's a lot bigger than that.
		They say, Elon Musk issued his most direct threat yet to walk away from his purchase of Twitter on Monday, openly accusing the social media company of breaching the merger agreement by not providing the data he has requested on spam and fake accounts.
		In a letter to Twitter's head of legal policy and trust, Vijay Agade, Musk alleged that Twitter is actively resisting and thwarting his information rights, as outlined in the deal.
		This is a clear material breach of Twitter's obligations under the merger agreement.
		Mr. Musk reserves all rights resulting therefrom, including his right not to consummate the transaction, and his right to terminate the merger agreement.
		Now, Twitter apparently issued a response saying that they have been very cooperative in sharing information as per the terms of the agreement.
		That just says to me that they're not giving him what he wants.
		Now, a Wall Street Journal story said that Musk had stated he needs the data in order to secure financing.
		I'm wondering if the people backing this deal, the 19 investors, outright said, we want to know how many spam bots are on this platform before we give this money.
		Because if it turns out it's twice or three times or even four times as high as Twitter remarked, we're going to see our value plummet.
		Could you imagine if you invested a billion dollars in Twitter And then the next day, they're like, here's the disclosure.
		It's actually five times more spam bots.
		There's going to be, you know, 20% the company just going to drop by that much value.
		So they're saying, no, I don't know exactly, but it seems to me like they're trying to stop Elon Musk.
		That makes the most sense.
		Not that Elon Musk isn't trying to buy it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Or Tim, it could be the Twitter employees who want to continue to work from home and only want to work two hours out of the week or whatever they're doing.
		Because again, there's a huge disconnect between the employees at Twitter, the whole establishment that is Twitter, that has used this kind of information highway for political purposes.
		Twitter is extremely biased.
		It has been using its platform for political purposes, for corporate purposes, For the benefit of a lot of powerful people who wield that power, and I think the bigger core issue here is that probably Twitter has something to hide that they don't want the general public to know.
		It could be the number of fake accounts, because there could be a lot of governments, a lot of corporations, a lot of celebrities propping up spam bots, propping up narratives and agendas in such an artificial way that it would shock the entire system if people would find out.
unidentified		But it's fascinating and also not surprising how the mainstream media—and you mentioned that headline—is choosing to spin it, because you've given two now really legitimate reasons why this is on Twitter's end, because Elon Musk is asking for information.
		If they give him the information and it's under 5 percent, then he's gonna—he'll have no excuse but to move forward with the deal.
		And so I just—I laugh this article's from AP.
		It says that This has led some experts to question whether the billionaire wants to use his loud complaints to negotiate a lower deal price or even walk away entirely.
		He's asking for the information.
		If it is what they say it is, give it to him and then he won't walk away.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, release it.
		Make the internet more accountable, more transparent.
		Why should powerful people use fake accounts in order to promote illusions that aren't real reality?
		That's an important aspect here because we have to understand here, governments have been creating fake accounts to push war narratives.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		Well, it's also to manufacture consensus, right?
		And we saw this with a report that we were talking about a week or so ago, that about half of Joe Biden's followers are fake.
		Which is hilarious, right?
		Because we're almost certain, given how coherent-sounding the tweets are, that Joe Biden is not running that Twitter account.
		So you have a non-president running a presidential account being followed by a bunch of non-followers.
unidentified		I don't get though, why even if Twitter is admitting that it's under 5%, it's admitting there's some number of bots, why wouldn't Twitter purge any bots?
		Because if you can identify the bots, you know how many you have.
		Because they did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think they did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So the day after the deal's announced, we see progressive and celebrity accounts drop dramatically.
unidentified		Oh, they whined about it too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And libertarian and conservative skyrocket in following count.
		My personal view of this, it is probable, I'm not saying I have evidence or anything, I think what may be happening is that Twitter often talks about the health of the conversation.
		There's a law on the internet that any sufficiently unmoderated platform will become right wing.
		I think Twitter was becoming dominated by the right, so Twitter intervened and started suppressing right-wing voices and creating fake accounts to make it seem like the left was more prominent than it was.
		That's my thought on what may be, because then, the day after the deal's announced, it just flips.
		And they said it was organic.
		There's no way Katy Perry's 200,000 follower loss or whatever makes no sense.
		People are like, I'm a follower of Katy Perry, but now that Elon Musk might buy the platform, I'm out.
		I don't buy it.
unidentified		No, and you got how many more followers in three days?
		100k.
		100k.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They were unbanning people.
		They were unbanning people who had been long since banned, so I think they were manipulating something.
		Let me read what Twitter wrote, because we have this over at the Daily Mail.
		It says, quote, Twitter has and will continue to cooperatively share information with Mr. Musk to consummate the transaction in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.
		We believe this agreement is in the best interest of the shareholders.
		We intend to close the transaction, blah, blah, blah.
		Look at the first sentence.
		Twitter has and will continue to cooperatively share information.
		Notably absent from that statement was, we have complied with Mr. Musk's request to provide the data requested to help facilitate the transaction.
		That statement as they publish it says to me they're denying Elon Musk the information and they're using weasel words trying legalese to make it seem like they're actually complying.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Lawyer talk.
		I hate lawyer talk.
		I hate people who talk in these kind of weird vague terms because you know they're up to something they're trying to be nefarious in some kind of way and again Musk is claiming here that they're withholding the data that this is clear material breach and there's a one billion dollar clause whoever walks away from this deal is going to have to pay for so This is going to be very interesting.
		I think this is going to go to court.
		I don't see any of these kind of companies walking away.
		I see a lot of posturing because I do think the scary things in the closet of Twitter are absolutely terrifying.
		And if we did find out what was happening, I think people's jaws would just drop to the floor because there is a lot of potential.
		It is ripe for abuse.
		It has been abused.
		What we know publicly probably is still just scratching the surface to the bigger agendas and the bigger games that are being played that we don't even know about.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There was a report back in I think 2012 leaked information showing that the US Air Force was trying to buy sock puppet accounts so that they could use them in foreign countries to create the perception of popular narratives.
		So if you look at countries, it is believed that they were doing this in Libya.
		I remember during the Arab Spring, particularly during Libya, it was interesting because some of my hacker buddies said, how come so many Libyans speak North American dialect English?
		On Twitter, they were noticing.
		And the response was, many of these people who are on Twitter are on Twitter because they were Western educated before going back to Twitter, which makes sense.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		One of the first countries that started doing this is Israel.
		They started openly talking about this.
		This was in the early 2000s.
		There was mainstream news articles about literal government Israeli employees that were sitting there behind a computer sending out particular narratives, sending out particular arguments, and also Cass Sunstein, Obama's information czar, even talked about how he is going to be Utilizing the internet as a way to make people look crazy who criticize the government, create fake accounts to promote fake theories in order to destroy any legitimate criticism of government.
		Cass Sunstein, Obama's information czar, looked that up.
		I remember confronting Cass Sunstein one-on-one, face-to-face about this, and he said, I never wrote this.
		I never did this.
		The document literally has his name.
		It's published in peer-reviewed journals.
unidentified		So if, let's operate on the belief that Twitter is trying to kill the deal with Elon Musk, do you think it would be because they are trying to hide what would be revealed if it went to Elon Musk or because they want to continue to control the narrative on Twitter?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or both?
unidentified		Yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Or they just don't want to work.
unidentified		I want you to pick one.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Elon Musk wants people to work, wants people to come into the office.
		He's going to change the culture.
		And it could be that these employees are like, well, we don't want to work.
		Are you crazy?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You saw what Elon said to Tesla the other last week or whatever, that everybody has to come in for a minimum of 40 hours.
		Otherwise, we'll assume you've resigned.
		I'm sure all the Twitter employees saw that and immediately started screaming and crying and rolling on the floor.
		We have to work!
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		I feel unsafe here.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		This doesn't work.
unidentified		No, he said if you want to work from home, you have to also work from the office for a minimum of 40 hours a week.
unidentified		So the suggestion being any overtime you can do at home.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But this is a big story.
		I mean, Elon Musk uses Twitter in a very specific way.
		Now, Twitter is claiming that there's only 5% accounts on that entire platform that are fake, that are spam accounts, that are Propaganda, government accounts, corporate accounts, whatever it is.
		Musk is claiming that it's over 50%.
		Now, that's a huge number.
		That's going to change the evaluation of Twitter, but also make people think, maybe what I'm seeing online, maybe what I'm seeing in the algorithms isn't really reality.
		And the way that Elon Musk has been harnessing Twitter recently is absolutely amazing.
		I've been critical of him with Neuralink, artificial intelligence, him trying to connect human brains to the internet, but Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take you into a time machine to the year of 2012.
		Galane list. Holy cow did he send an important message to the power
		establishment that he's not playing and he's willing to reveal information to
		the general public that would open people's eyes about what really happens
unidentified		in behind the true seat of power. Ladies and gentlemen I would like to take you
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		into a time machine to the year of 2012. Ars Technica reports Reddit founders
		made hundreds of fake profiles so site looked popular.
		In its early days, Reddit was built on lies.
		Sure, lots of code, but some lies.
		Here's how it works.
		You make a social media platform, but nobody's using it.
		You then need to convince people it is a place to communicate and share ideas.
		So what do you do?
		You operate hundreds of fake accounts, and whenever you get one person to join, you respond to them, you upvote them, you follow them.
		They all of a sudden feel like, wow, I'm getting a lot of engagement on this platform.
		Imagine this.
		You create a social media app.
		you market it to high schoolers. When they sign up, you give them a thousand or two thousand
		fake followers. Those high schoolers are not going to go to all their friends and be like,
		I got two thousand followers on Luke, Luke Chet. And they're going to be like, you have two
		thousand followers. Yeah, because I'm famous. And then these other kids are going to be like,
		I want to be on Luke Chet and be famous. They all start signing up. You've got to talk about Bill
		Gates only. You give them all fake followers. Then they're going to bet you're still doing tick tock.
		Dude, I've got 10,000 followers on Loopchat.
		And they'll start switching over and you will fake the community.
		That's what these companies do.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's the low level.
		That's a small level of what they're doing.
		What governments are doing, it's even far more sinister, far more complicated, especially when it comes to galvanizing people's political opinions.
		Because when you're able to show A majority of people that this is what the herd thinks.
		This is what the herd is.
		People are going to go along with ideas if they think a lot of other people believe them.
		And you could do that politically.
		You could do that socially.
		You could do that with culture.
		And I think that has been slowly happening ever since social media started to be used.
		Because we're talking about just a few years ago.
		It was declassified.
		It came out that Facebook was talking about engineering people's emotions.
		through their algorithm.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They were experimenting on people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They were unsuspecting people that weren't participating in a project, didn't know they were participating in a project, but they were testing if they can make people sad, if they can make people happy.
		That is godlike power and authority.
		That is absolutely unaccountable, crazy.
		This is what Facebook was doing years and years ago.
		What's Twitter doing right now with its information highway?
		I mean, man, I don't even want to speculate.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know Facebook?
		Their algorithm knows when you go to the bathroom.
		They know when you poop.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They know your friends that don't even have Facebook.
unidentified		Twitter makes me sad already.
		I don't know if they have to do an algorithm to make me sad.
		Twitter already makes me sad.
		And I cannot look at you because I just get a pregnant Bill Gates looking back at me.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He's making eye contact with you right now.
unidentified		I cannot pay attention to anything you're saying.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But that's technically not pregnant Bill Gates.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's just Bill Gates as well. No, we put his face on there
		It was a picture of him with a big belly in the blue shirt He tweeted this this image not this image exactly but
		He's he's he's playing and again Bill Gates is attacking him through secret organizations
		and nonprofit organizations that are trying to also pressure Twitter and
		advertisers to make sure that they're going to pull their money if Elon Musk does buy it.
		There's a lot of things that could happen with Elon here.
		Because if, let's say, 50% of the accounts are fake, he's going to be laughed at.
		Like, oh, they got the best of him.
		They stole money from him.
		And Twitter's going to lose popularity because people are going to be like, no one's using it.
		So this is make it or break it when it comes to Twitter.
		He's making a very big move here.
		A lot of money.
		He's putting his money where his mouth is.
		Will Twitter give the information?
		Give up the data?
		That's another question that we need to ask ourselves.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I want to jump to this story here.
		This is breaking news!
		CNN recently announced they're not going to be saying breaking news, but this one is.
		From CNN Business, The Washington Post suspends reporter David Weigel over sexist retweet.
		Okay, now before we get into this, I would like to shout out Senator Ben Sasse, who said that weirdos are running the political space.
		It's an algorithm driven by rage, and he's half right.
		But he's not completely right.
		There are weirdos running things, but it's not the French.
		This is becoming mainstream politics, don't believe me?
		Dave Weigel retweeted a joke on Twitter.
		Probably, he's probably sitting on the toilet.
		He's probably like, look at his phone.
		He's like, it's a joke.
unidentified		Oh, what's that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's funny.
		Retweet.
		Anyway, what was I doing?
		And then all of a sudden, a bunch of women at the company start freaking out, saying he's sexist.
		And now he's suspended from his job.
		This is a guy who's reported on Seth Rich.
		I mean, this is a high-profile political reporter with 600,000 followers who's been suspended for retweeting a joke on Twitter.
		He didn't say anything to his co-workers, just retweeting it.
		This is Twitter being the real world.
unidentified		I can't imagine what it's like to work at the Washington Post.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, and also, don't forget, we have this story about Taylor Lorenz lying about these YouTubers.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I wonder if they have the joke.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You look that up, but this is my first response to this.
		From all the treachery, from all the horrible things that the corporate mainstream media has done, WMDs, banker bailouts, lying through their teeth, Putting innocent people at the fray because they smirked.
		Lying, libeling, destroying people's livelihoods, going to grandma's homes because they opened up a Facebook page, doxing individuals.
		This is what you punish them for?
		A retweet of a joke?
		Are you kidding me?
		This shows you the fake, nonsense, bullcrap that is really happening behind the corporate media.
		I mean, you worked in the corporate media.
		You probably know PR and HR and all this other stuff that happens behind the scenes.
		But why do you think this happened?
unidentified		Why would they?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Why would they punish him?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, was it really the outcry or is it them just trying to outwoke the wokeness?
unidentified		You know, to me, and do you want to read the joke?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, we cannot read this on air, it's far too confusing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It actually says why she did it.
unidentified		Oh, I was like, you can't?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It actually says why they did it.
		So the joke was, quote, every girl is bi, you just have to figure out if it's polar or sexual.
		He retweeted that.
		Felicia Sanmez had recently had a discrimination lawsuit against the paper dismissed, a decision her attorney has said she plans to appeal.
		There it is.
unidentified		So they're trying to protect their bottom dollar.
		I mean, that's what it comes down to.
		But to me, what Felicia did fully in her name, of course, has to be Felicia.
		What Felicia did after this is worse.
		And when you're talking about the actual culture of a newsroom and Having worked in mainstream media, newsrooms can be very challenging places to work.
		And I've worked in really toxic ones.
		But if I had an issue with something that a co-worker tweeted, and I'd had co-workers who had issues with something I tweeted, they walked across the room and they told me about it.
		or they picked up the phone or they sent a text.
		So Felicia gets on there and shames publicly her co-worker for retweeting this.
		And then I don't know if you guys saw this, Jose del Rio, he also works for the Washington Post,
		he called her out on it on Twitter.
		And he's basically like, hey, you know, said essentially what I said is,
		if you have a problem, like go talk to him, but this is toxic to be calling him out on Twitter.
		So he's since deleted all that and I feel so bad for this guy.
		He put out a tweet saying, last night I came under an unrelenting series of attacks intended to tarnish my professional and personal reputation.
		The cause, some tweets I sent calling for compassion within our workplace.
		And so he talked about all the attacks and he briefly deleted his Twitter account, took it down over it.
		Yes.
		And he works at the Post.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		So you made a very good point about the fact that if you were working at a news outlet, what you would do is speak to someone who said something offensive to you.
		Unfortunately, I, and you know, this is just my own perspective, they haven't said this, but I would venture to guess that their goal was not to have any kind of problem solved.
		It was just to grandstand in front of the public and virtue signal and show everybody how put upon they are having to work for this news network, how difficult their life is.
		The question is, would you rather have a co-worker who retweets offensive things in their off time, or a co-worker who will smear you in front of the public without ever having a conversation with you about it prior?
unidentified		That's what I'm saying, she's worse!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I got a better one for you.
		Or would you rather have a co-worker who fabricates the news?
		Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to pull up this story from newsdiffs.org.
		Our good friend Dave Weigel deserves to have been fired five years ago, not suspended over a Sexist Retweet.
		Why?
		Because Dave Weigel effectively fabricated a story about Seth Rich I'll give you the simple version.
		First, the image I'm showing.
		trying to hack Gmail to plant false evidence.
		Newsdeafs shows that the original article on May 24th, 2017 was edited November 18th, 2017 and completely changed.
		I'll give you the simple version.
		First, the image I'm showing.
		The green is the latest, the red is what removed.
		What Weigel was trying to insinuate was that because Seth Rich's Gmail account
		received an alert from mega.com, that means in all likelihood,
		Kim Dotcom was trying to hack the email to plant fake evidence.
		In reality, people on 4chan had posted that they put Seth Rich's Gmail into Mega to see if they would get a ping back for an existing account.
		This triggered a welcome email to go to the email account, And then the Washington Post fabricated a story.
		I reached out to Dave Weigel for comment.
		He didn't correct it until several months later without notice and without an editor's note or a correction.
		The story just changes completely.
		See, they don't fire people for things like this.
		Now, what's fascinating about this is, think about how this impacts things like Wikipedia.
		This story will be used as a factual reference to Kim.com hacking Gmail, or trying to, and they'll cite the Washington Post, who six months later will change the story, but Wikipedia won't change.
		These people are... What's the right word?
		I feel like...
		Evil is going easy on them.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Ten of scumlords.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So you know what, Dave?
		Dave, you should have been fired for this.
		Your institution is garbage.
		Taylor Lorenz deserves to work for the Washington Post, and everything coming their way, it's exactly what you deserve.
		Jeff Bezos is a scumbag.
		He bought it.
		Congratulations on your trash investment.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I would argue one of the signs and one of the most obvious straightforward signs of a failing system or society is that the mainstream institutions are no longer operating in accordance with their purpose.
		So, the dominant media culture in this country has been pretty dishonest for a very long time.
		This is not a recent development.
		But the fact that somebody who works for the media, which is purportedly there to expose us to important truths, would not get in trouble for publishing a story which had fabricated information in it or tried to insinuate things were some other way than they were in reality.
		The fact that that's acceptable, he doesn't get in trouble for that, but he does get in trouble for this retweet shows not simply that it's the case that this institution is no longer operating in accordance with what its purpose should be, but also we can detect what its new purpose is, or what they are attempting to go for, which is to promote a woke left-wing narrative, and because he failed to do that, he was fired.
unidentified		Well, it's all fruit from the same poisonous tree.
		I mean, it all has to do with that obsession with virtue signaling.
		I mean, that's why their reporting is so bad.
		That's, in part, that's why their reporting is so bad.
		And that's why they would fire him over something like this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I gotta read you some of this article.
		You guys are gonna laugh, alright?
		So here's what happened.
		Mega.co.nz.
		That's Kim Dotcom's website.
		You may know Kim Dotcom from Mega Upload way back in the day.
		So this is Mega.co.nz.
		It's a New Zealand top-level domain, the .co.nz, right?
		So here's what he writes.
		This is the original article.
		The latest revelation that a hacker from New Zealand may have been trying as recently as this week to hack into Rich's email offered fresh evidence the conspiracy theory is false.
		.com it seemed may have been willing to create a fake archive of emails from Rich to prove his role in the DNC leak.
		He changed to say, someone may have been trying to hack into Rich's email, offered fresh evidence that the conspiracy theory is false, the family worried that .com or someone eager to prove him right may have been willing to create a fake archive of emails from Rich or crack a password to see whether Rich had passed on documents with a mega account.
		Just because the email came from .NZ does not mean a hacker from New Zealand.
		But instead of issuing a correction, an apology, and retracting the article, they stealth-edited it six months later.
		They say nothing.
		Now, if you go back to the article, it's all cleaned up.
		These people are scumbags.
unidentified		Well, that's like that Elon Musk article that was just like it was New York Times, right?
		Where it talked about tried to somehow tie him to like the racist history of South Africa.
		And it was really odd.
		I mean, they totally went through and scrubbed it and rewrote it.
		So it was softer because the way they had written that article initially about Elon Musk made it seem like he was his family and he was like racist and all this stuff.
		And then they rewrote it in a way that distanced him from from South Africa and from apartheid.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and this is the crazy thing.
		These are the authoritative sources.
		These are the sources that big tech social media runs in their algorithm.
		YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, they promote these accounts, these individuals, these lying scumbags, and they get No accountability, no transparency, and this is the only time that they get punished for retweeting a joke?
		It's a joke in itself and it's sick and it's a sad joke.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No corrections on this article. I have it right here. Here's the actual argument that stands now.
		It says May 24th, 2017. But as I showed, news diffs, which I believe is defunct,
		show that it was edited in November of that year. Here's the best part. A couple other mainstream
		reporters retweeted the story as fact. They retweeted the story right and Kim.com did do
		this. And when I reached out to them, they said they effectively told me to screw off.
		One guy, I think he worked for BuzzFeed.
		A year later said, I must have missed this.
		Sorry, I'll take the tweet down.
		That's what they do.
		A year later, they publish conspiracies, lies, and fake news, and then no one fact-checks them.
		Here's the best part.
		NewsGuard.
		We use NewsGuard on all of our sources, right?
		Yeah, we like NewsGuard.
		But here's the funny thing.
		If the New York Times says it's true, NewsGuard just assumes it is.
		And then if you get evidence proving New York Times wrong, they'll say you lied.
		Because these people are all in one big circle of jerks where they give each other awards for fake stories like Russiagate and then never investigate and never give the awards back.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They do a lot more sicker stuff behind the scenes, but that's another story.
		Family-friendly show.
		I'm not gonna go there.
		I knew some journalists.
		A lot of them are just drug addicts, pill poppers, manic depressants, and just absolutely insane people that will do anything for a buck.
		Essentially, the corporate media is PR for the establishment.
		This is the perfect representation of it.
		This little drama thing shows you the perfect representation of our current media state that is filled with absolute nonsense.
		And that's what it is.
		And I think these stories need to be proliferated.
		I think we need to talk about stealth editing.
		I think we need to continue to remind people that, hey, when you're watching the news, you're watching an agenda.
		You're watching something that rich people only want you to understand and know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Just think about what is okay at these newsrooms.
		A stupid joke is a suspension-worthy event, publishing fake news.
		Don't worry about it, we'll sweep it under the rug.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Ruining a child's life just because he smirked.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Intentionally suppressing the Epstein story.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		You know, having victims come forward in the 90s to you, say, hey, there's this powerful man on an island doing unspeakable things to me and all these thousands of children, and just looking the other way and not reporting on it.
		Absolutely disgusting behavior.
		Writing the story, making the story, editing the videos, and then not publishing it when you have, according to CBS News, according to the Project Veritas, people like Bill Clinton, that you got him when it comes to this bigger story surrounding a Mr. Epstein.
		Again, lots of bombshell stuff that could help humanity, but the reason we can't have nice things is because of the corporate media.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		That's my perspective.
		I want to make a point here.
		There's this old idea, or this line from Solzhenitsyn, you know, the line between good and evil runs across every man's heart.
		One thing I would like to impart to anyone in the mainstream media if they happen to be listening or would take any of what we're saying seriously is that if you want to talk about combating misinformation, right, Well, the war between misinformation and truth also runs across everyone's heart.
		Everyone's capable of lying for their agenda.
		Everyone ideally should want to tell the truth for their agenda.
		Unfortunately, it's not the case.
		If you are so concerned about misinformation and disinformation spreading, And you think that there is just a flood of unfounded conspiracy theories and people don't trust the mainstream media like they shouldn't so the traditional gatekeepers are gone?
		Maybe don't stealth edit articles that were promoting misinformation as if you were telling the truth the entire time.
		If you are concerned, About the fact that public trust in the media has eroded.
		You need to look in the mirror and figure out ways to improve.
		It's not our fault.
		It's not as if the media was doing a great job and then people started making a living in making a career out of working in alternative media.
		You guys dropped the ball.
		Now people are looking to other sources and you're jealous of the other sources and you're hating them instead of trying to figure out what you're doing wrong.
unidentified		One thing I want to say about Jeff Bezos.
		I'm gonna make a prediction.
		I think he's gonna say something about all this.
		I think he's gonna, I think he's gonna say something negative about his own paper about this.
		He's been a little, he's been kind of coming, I mean he said the things about the White House, about inflation.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		The Elon Musk comment was pretty interesting as well.
unidentified		Yeah, he's been, he's been saying more things that surprise me on Twitter than he has in a long time and so I'm gonna make a bet that I think he's gonna say something negative about his own paper about all this.
unidentified		I hope he does.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We should.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He's probably going to be partying, taking steroids, and just hanging out and not caring.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's talk about some narratives real quick.
		We have this story from Newsweek.
		Yuvaldi mom who saved kids from school shooting says police threatened her.
		Have y'all seen the video of the mom who went in the building?
		Giving an interview and explaining what happened.
		I will tell you this, the conclusion is simple.
		Either intentionally or inadvertently, police helped the shooter in Uvalde.
		That is not being disputed right now.
		So when people came out and slammed the police, Because they were standing in the hallway for 70 minutes.
		At this point, everyone said it was incompetence.
		These people are cowards.
		But then when this mother says the police actually stopped her inside and they tried stopping her while she was already in the building, you have to wonder.
		If there were people in the building trying to get in the classroom, this mother, and the police not only were not going in, but they were even stopping her and others.
		And this only ended because I believe it was a CBP tactical unit that defied orders and just breached the building.
		The cops there, I would presume, were just accidentally helping the shooter.
		Heaven forbid they knew it was happening and said, no, no, we're gonna let it roll out.
unidentified		I'm gonna totally reject that.
		I don't think that that is what happened, but I do believe that it's gross incompetence.
		I am someone, anybody who's watched me knows that I'm very pro-law enforcement, pro-good law enforcement, as I think we all should be, but I don't think there's any excuse for what happened.
		I'll also note The U.S.
		Marshals lied about this.
		They blatantly lied about it.
		You know, they denied handcuffing any parents, even though immediately there were videos of handcuffed parents on the ground.
		This is May 27th, 8.58 a.m., U.S.
		Marshals' official Twitter handle.
		Additional U.S.
		Deputy Marshals were asked to expand and secure the official law enforcement perimeter around the school.
		Deputy Marshals never arrested or placed anyone in handcuffs while securing the crime scene perimeter.
		That's a lie.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They tasered parents, right?
		This is the insanity.
		Also, why give them the benefit of the doubt, right?
unidentified		We shouldn't.
unidentified		Benefit of the doubt about?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		What they're saying, number one, and two, this entire saga and event.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think it's possible they were waiting for the shooter to run out of ammo.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And they were lying through their teeth about every ... aspect of it it's not out of the realm of possibilities to ... say that they were aiding and abetting at this point when we ... know all the details here because how long what's the ... time from here why are there so many unanswered questions ... about this very specific event and this mother came and ... said some very important things that contradicted the ... official police story once again they can't get that ... story straight they keep lying through their teeth and ... when you look at their actions they arrested handcuffed ...
		Tasered parents, pushed them away, set up a blockade, and they told everyone on the news there was no active shooter.
		It wasn't an active shooter information.
		What information did they have that provided that information since there was kids inside of the school literally calling them and with the dispatchers, with their radios, were telling them it's still an active shooter situation.
		Children needlessly died because of these police officers' direct intervention that killed children.
		This is not the truth.
		There's one child shot, bled out.
		died specifically because the police are 40 minutes after 40 minutes there's another officer that alleges he said said say something uh if you're in the room and you need help said something the killer shot them this mother came out and she said two very important things one that there there was an active shooter situation that was going on for a lot longer than the police said said it was and two when she first came in there she said that there was no police officers inside but they did try to stop her outside so what in the world were they doing Why would they give the orders not to go in when specifically they were getting information from the radio saying it was still active?
		They said that they thought it was not active.
		What evidence did they have giving that information?
		They won't provide that.
		There needs to be some serious questions.
		There needs to be some accountability.
		Put these people on a stand right now so we find out what happened because the blood on those children's hands, I mean, they're responsible for it whether you like it or not.
		And this whole back the blue crowd needs to really understand the true realm of what happened here because it happens a lot.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Real quick, the threat was that she said if she spoke up, she would be charged with obstruction of justice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If she spoke up outside in the moment?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Disgusting abuse of power.
		I mean, that right there shows you that they're trying to cover up and silence critics of them.
		Pathetic punks abusing their power.
		Fire all of them right now.
		All of them should be fired.
		And they should be disgusted for their behaviors.
		Disgusting.
unidentified		I want to be very clear about the back, the blue crowd.
		I believe that the way that this is handled absolutely was a travesty and a tragedy.
		I don't believe there's any excuses for what happened.
		They had a drill.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They had a drill practicing this weeks ago.
unidentified		Weeks before this.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And they had an AI program that they literally had trying to prevent this.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They were training inside of that school days before this shooting.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		March.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yes, March.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Days, weeks, weeks.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		March 26th.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They were training to prevent and stop a mass shooting, and then their plan in action was stand outside and attack and taser and handcuff parents?
unidentified		What?
		I just want to make clear that I'm making a distinction about intent.
		I don't believe there's any officers that had the intent to allow someone to kill children intentionally.
		I just want to make a distinction that I don't believe that that's what happened.
		I'm not saying that I don't believe that their actions led to kids dying that shouldn't have died.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So if the cops are there, They have protocol to storm the building, even if you're a single officer, that's what the protocol said, and they all stand outside for, what was it, 70 minutes?
		I think you can argue what you mean by intent, but, yeah, they were okay with him doing it.
		That's the thing.
		They were okay with it.
		Absolutely.
		It's a fact.
		You can't stand outside hearing the gunshots go off like they did.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And pretend it's not an active shooter situation and lie through their teeth about it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		My point is, they're standing outside, hearing the gunshots for 70 minutes, and they were like, no, no, no, go in.
		Yeah, it means they were fine with what was happening inside.
		Now, I understand there's going to be, we can get into a semantic argument what it means to be fine.
		I'm not saying they were like high-fiving each other.
		I'm saying they were like, it is preferable for me to stay here than do anything to help these kids.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		When it comes to a business that opened up when Walmart was allowed to be open months before that, they were tough guys.
		They came in there, they shut down grandma's small business.
		A kid wasn't wearing a mask in school, they dragged him out of school, handcuffed him, arrested them in many instances.
		A parent had a baby that wasn't wearing a mask on a plane.
		They were all tough in that time.
		But when it came to children, Children losing their lives, calling them, talking to them as it was happening.
		This is what you have to understand here about this event.
		They were calling 9-1-1.
		They were talking to their dispatchers.
		Dispatchers were telling them, hey, there's kids inside.
		They're bleeding out.
		They're dying.
		They're still being continued to shot.
		And your decision is like, oh, it's not an active shooter situation.
		We're just going to stand back here.
unidentified		Well, it's in dispute that the 911 dispatch calls were making it to the officers.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They always do that.
unidentified		My understanding is that is in dispute, and there was some belief that the guy who's now in hiding, like, didn't bring his communications in and wasn't relaying it.
		I'm just saying what I know and what is and is not confirmed, but I do agree.
		We're probably semantics.
		I think we're in the same position that where I stand on this is officers could have saved children's lives and didn't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now, whether anyone wants to put intent on the officers, I just am not in their brain, and I don't believe that anyone would intentionally The police officers felt that it was preferable to remain outside while they heard the gunshots and children being killed.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They preferred that.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You can't assume what they did because we don't know what they did.
		Because they're lying through their teeth.
		But you're saying, well, they didn't want to get hurt.
		We don't know that.
		We don't know what happened.
unidentified		And to be clear, that's what I'm saying.
unidentified		I'm not in their heads and neither are you.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely not, but I know they're liars.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A lot of this story has changed, right?
		My understanding is that CBP, the tactical unit that actually went in with the shields, were defying orders.
		Is that still the case?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yes, that's an officer that showed up there, and then him and his buddy, they had a shield that they used specifically, but they waited 30 minutes.
		They were given orders, they got there, and they were told to stand down.
		They stood down for 30 minutes, then after those 30 plus minutes. This is the official story. Again,
		everything should be questioned because these accounts have been contradicted multiple
		amounts of times. But the current story is that they waited 30 minutes and then after 30 minutes,
		then they decided to disobey orders and then go in with a number of officers and a SWAT team.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who is giving orders to allow the shooter to kill people?
unidentified		Well, isn't it that guy that now is now in hiding?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is that who it was?
unidentified		I think so.
unidentified		I think he was the commander.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So there was a protocol.
		A single officer was supposed to storm in.
		At least that's what I read.
		And again, the story's changed.
		But my understanding was, in March, they had done drills.
		The protocol was you actively engage, even if you're by yourself.
		And it said something like, if the officer goes down, another officer who arrives will have to just go in.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Which means there was a commanding officer giving orders to multiple agencies saying, no, let the shooter keep killing children.
unidentified		So the New York Times got its hands on the actual training manual and in there it basically tells officers, you are going to have to engage in sustained and yes, sacrificial engagement with the shooter.
		And so basically the training said, yeah, you might have to die because these are innocent lives at risk.
		And so, yeah, again, I mean, I don't know how anybody can make an excuse for what has happened and what happened.
		I agree with you that we can't at this point believe anything that is said about it from the official source because so much of it has been proven to be incorrect.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in that small town on riot gear, SWAT gear, and they posted pictures, which they scrubbed on their Facebook page, by the way.
		Of them standing tough and strong with all of their AR equipment and all their body armor But but again, where did all this money go to where of all this training go to they had direct training in that specific school?
		And there's still so many unanswered questions that we don't know about.
		Why was that door open?
		What happened?
		What was there?
		Now they're saying it was closed.
		How did he get in there?
		Where was the school resource?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How did he get the training?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		the truck? How do you get the guns? How do you get the ammo?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Exactly. Where did he get all that money from?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Since he of course was allegedly, you know, poor, working at a fast food joint. I mean,
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		there's so many serious questions here. Some people have said credit cards, but the ammo.
unidentified		Didn't he have like 600? An 18 year old getting credit cards? It's going to be difficult,
unidentified		especially with no credit score. So, so real quick, so I'm sorry.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How many rounds did he have?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Was it 600?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I have no idea about that.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I'm questioning everything about this interview.
unidentified		Well, my friend Allie Bradley, who used to work at Fox with me in Seattle and is an independent journalist now, she was down covering immigration at the southern border when this happened, so she was one of the first people on scene.
		And she spoke to the shooter's grandfather for an extended period of time and actually got some insight that no other outlet had about where he might have afforded those firearms.
		So he had no expenses in his life.
		Zero.
		He didn't pay rent.
		He didn't pay his phone bill.
		He didn't pay anything.
		And he had been working the fast food job and also working for his grandfather.
		Didn't have to put out a dime for anything at 18.
		So I think a question for me is how long had he been saving and that also the grandfather told Allie Bradley that some of his equipment that he used for his work, some heavy duty equipment and stuff like that, had gone missing.
		So I think there's a possibility based on that, that the kid stole it, sold it, had been saving money because he wasn't doing anything with his life.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		People in the comments are saying 1,600 rounds.
unidentified		1,600.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So what was he using?
unidentified		5.56?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So what are we looking at?
unidentified		5.56.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's about a dollar.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A dollar a round?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It depends where you get it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You could get it for 50 cents sometimes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But I want to point out, I think I have an answer to this.
		A lot of people pointed out that four years ago, it was reported that a couple kids, teenagers, were arrested for a plot at the school.
		However, it was reported these kids were not the same kid here.
		It was different people.
		They said the attack was planned for 2022.
		Here's what I think.
		It's possible those kids weren't the only ones planning it and that they got caught and didn't rat out their buddies or buddy or whoever else.
		What I'm surprised about is if you have a bunch if you have if you have a couple kids who four years prior say in 2022 we're planning this.
		There it is.
		Dude gets a job at 16.
		He has no expenses.
		He works fast food and puts all the money in the bank account.
		All of a sudden, he's got enough money for this stuff, right?
		After two years.
		It sounds like he ordered the weapon prior to, uh, before his birthday, and then had it delivered so he could pick it up two days later.
		I think it's possible this kid was in on that plot from 2018 and they just didn't catch him.
		So why didn't police, knowing that, have any kind of surveillance precautions considering they had arrested kids planning this four years ago?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, not only that, but there was a lot of warning signs.
		There was the torture of small animals, there was the cutting of self, like any hallmark signs of a troubled person who's gonna lash out and hurt other people.
		There was a lot of that.
		Where did our multi-billion dollar NSA spying organization go to that tracks trace and databases almost every single thing we do to the point where NSA agents have collections of people's personal wiener art?
		That they are known to share and trade with each other.
		Where is the vast surveillance state that promised that would keep us safe from terrorist attacks and mass shooters that would prevent them if we just give them a little bit of our money?
		If we just give up a little bit of our liberty?
		If we allow them to look in our phones?
		If we allow them to look in our laptops?
		If we allow them to look into every personal detail of our life?
		Where is the national security surveillance state when we need it, supposedly, that was supposed to stop all of these?
		They're nowhere.
unidentified		He posted pictures of dead cats in a bag.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		What other proof do you need that this was a troubled, crazy individual that has a history of self-harm and the ability to harm others?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, let's talk about what the government promises.
		We have this story from CBS.
		How one lawmaker wants to curb gun sales, a 1,000% tax on semi-automatic weapons.
		Before we read the news, I'd like to give a shout-out to our good friend Michael Madlis with this quote.
		all i'm asking for is the rights to the same weapons that i paid for the
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		taliban to own yeah bravo good sir i completely agree well this is and the ukrainians and uh... and the mexican
		got cartels and i let's let's forget all that you know uh... dictatorships
		in latin america that finance and we found all money to three ran contra i
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		could keep going by the way that we do a skit where it's like a guy talking
		about my knees like uh... mister president did you give a bunch of those uh...
		a bunch of these high-powered rifles
		to cartels yes i did Can I have one? No, you can't. Yep. That's it
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's an Obama!
unidentified		Very quick, very good.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's a very good Obama.
		But again, the U.S.
		government literally is one of the chief exporters of weaponry on the world.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Not for us, though.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But not just the Afghanis.
		Let's not forget ISIS.
		Radical jihadists inside of Syria that literally had the latest U.S.
		technology, gear, weapons, bullets.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They had that truck from Detroit or whatever.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Toyota trucks that were given to them.
		Radical Islamists were armed to the teeth.
		Yeah, Muhajir in the 1980s.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's talk about this news story.
		CBS says, One House Democrat has a novel idea for curbing the sale of automatic weapons like AR-15s, blah, blah, blah.
		The proposed bill places a 1,000% excise tax on any type of semi-automatic firearm, pushing up the price of the military-style weapon beyond the means of many potential buyers.
		Fake news, CBS.
		I just want to shout out, when these journalists write garbage nonsense, military-style, Hunting rifles are identical.
		It's just, it's ridiculous nonsense.
		But I just want to mention, right away, if you increase the cost of these weapons by a thousand percent, crime will get worse.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because all of a sudden, your $500 handgun is a $5,500 handgun, and boy can people make money off that.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Also, it mentions many potential buyers will be priced out.
		Well, that's a convenient way of saying that these rich political leaders who are proposing these kinds of things will still have armed securities, who work for armed security organizations that can afford this kind of thing.
		They'll be able to purchase these weapons to protect their families.
		You will not be able to.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And what they're saying is because it's a revenue measure, it can bypass the filibuster and get past the simple majority.
unidentified		Yeah, they think they can do it via reconciliation.
		I will say, kudos to them.
		I'm shocked they hadn't thought of this earlier.
		It's actually kind of ingenious because they're not actually preventing you from buying any sort of, they're not, they're not taking your rights away for weapons, but they're making it more expensive.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They did this already with the NFA.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So this is just them saying, let's, let's apply to standard semi-automatic weapons, the same rules that apply to select fire rifles.
unidentified		Well, and you talked about this a couple episodes ago with the 72 hour waiting period for background checks.
		If you just get rid of that and you extend it, you can prevent people from owning a firearm just by saying that.
		So this is a very it's a little ingenious.
		I'm surprised they didn't do it.
		It doesn't mean I think it's a good idea.
		But, you know, I thought about when it comes to just gun control and all that stuff and what Democrats would do.
		I've said two things on Twitter.
		I don't want to hear Democrats talk about gun control in Seattle, at least in Washington
		State, until they do two things.
		Acknowledge that it was wrong for riders up at CHOP to hand stolen rifles out of the back
		of a trunk of a car, which they never condemned.
		And then two, until they stop cutting deals with people who commit gun crimes in Washington
		There's so many people who commit crimes, actual criminals commit crimes with a gun, who then get a sweetheart deal, you know, some plea deal with prosecutors, and then, you know, politicians turn around and say that they want gun control.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The only thing I have an issue with in that story about CHOP was the stolen part.
		I think people have a right to keep in bare arms.
		If someone, if they had legal weapons and they were handing them out, I don't see an issue.
		I think there are issues with, you know, political extremists who are armed and killing kids like they did in CHOP.
		But I think we have a problem with the over-regulation of weapons as a pathetic attempt to stop people from getting them, which it clearly doesn't do.
unidentified		But what I'm saying is, if you've got this guy Raz Simone, the warlord of CHOP, who's opening up the trunk of a car, handing out rifles to people who didn't look 21 to me, and you don't have politicians in the city of Seattle condemn that, yet at the same time they're pro-gun control?
unidentified		That's ridiculous.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We make, I make, I make this point all the time, but Luke just made it earlier, that the M1A is banned in Maryland, but not the SCAR-20S.
		For those that are familiar, like, they're basically the same caliber weapon, but one is like an older, one's a newer.
		It's just, people, actually, let me put it this way.
		The people who know nothing about guns, trying to regulate them, is their Achilles heel.
		36 states have permitless open carry, 25 have constitutional carry, Florida is set to be the 26th, and all of that expanse of gun access is happening because the people arguing against it are like, we gotta ban the AR-15!
		And you're like, it's meaningless, it's not gonna happen, fine, whatever.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		As they're arguing for more weapons for Ukraine, by the way.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, exactly.
unidentified		No, no, no.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		So I just want to make this point.
		They don't know much about guns, but they know one incredibly important
		instrumental thing, which is that guns allow you to protect yourself.
		That is why we see this constant cycle.
unidentified		All right.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		This has begun probably two, three years ago and expect to see it continue to repeat.
		They riot.
		They say it's okay for them to burn down your city and threaten your life.
		Riots cool down.
		We need to take your guns.
		We need to take your guns.
		Then they riot again or they threaten to riot again.
		Then as soon as that calms down, they need to take your guns, right?
		Just a couple weeks ago, they were they were threatening insurrection over the Supreme Court potentially overturning Roe.
		And then they're gonna ask you, why do you need an AR-15?
		Well, because the dominant media culture and virtually every political leader in this country who aligns themselves with the status quo and isn't trying to get themselves in trouble, all the big tech companies sanction your violence against me!
		So yes, I do want to be able to protect myself and my family.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Before the show started, I actually posted a meme of Fidel Castro, and there's the question, what can you do with a population after you disarm them?
		And then Castro's laughing down there, anything I want.
		And that's the story of history.
		That's the story that has happened throughout all of written, recorded history that we need to understand here.
		I think it's important for people to be able to defend themselves, because who are you going to rely on?
		The Uvali police department?
		Yeah, to be there for you during critical moments and times.
		No, they're going to arrest you, handcuff you if your child's getting shot.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no, no, no, no.
		Your ability to defend yourself is absolutely crucial and important, and it terrifies people that you could defend yourself, that you could stand up for yourself.
		And this is why they're putting out all the stops, trying to take away that ability from you.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		So I want to make two points about that.
		So what we saw at Uvalde is basically what gun control advocates push for without realizing it.
		They want to put you in a position where the police spend their time and energy disarming you and preventing you from protecting your loved ones while maniacs still run around committing heinous crimes.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And that's exactly what's going to happen if there's more gun control, just like there is in Chicago.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		That is what gun control does.
		Also, they constantly point to countries like Australia, and they'll claim, look, the gun ban in Australia worked.
		Well, not really.
		Gun crime was plummeting at an identical rate before the gun ban.
		But this is even more important.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		But now do Venezuela.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Now do Mexico.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		Also, as soon as the Australian gun ban occurred, they said, look, Australia isn't a tyrannical nation, as if our argument is it would happen overnight.
		But then, after a couple years, look, under the COVID regime, Australia has literal concentration camps.
		They are concentration camps.
		If you are placed in a holding facility Without a trial, without due process, and you're forced to stay there in a camp that is a concentration camp.
		They literally have those in Australia after banning guns because you can't do that to an armed population.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The definition of a concentration camp, I believe it's from the Holocaust Museum, was a place where Concentration camp was a place where people were held without due process, without charge or trial.
		So when the government comes and takes people and puts them in a secure facility where they're not allowed to leave, that was the base definition.
		So there were indigenous people in Australia who were rounded up under COVID suspicion and sent there, and they were trying to escape climbing fences.
		I want to pull up a couple images for you guys so that you can, because I'm going to assume a lot of people don't know a whole lot about guns, and I'm not going to pretend to be a gun expert here, but take a look at this image right here.
		This is the, uh, this, this looks like a hunting rifle.
		That's, that's the way that it's often described by people on the left.
		They say, they say, oh, you know, take a look at this.
		It's a hunting rifle.
		That's what you should have.
		Let me show you this image right here.
		Ooh, that's a scary assault weapon.
		Look at that.
		It's got the pistol grip and that scope on it.
		Oh, man.
		Oh, geez.
		Yeah, the first one is the M1 Garand, literally used in war.
		The second one is a 450 Bushmaster hunting rifle.
		They have no idea what they're talking about.
		Again, I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on this one.
		I can just point out right away that they have no idea what they're talking about.
		Here's the best part.
		Someone in the super chat said, hey Tim, pull up a Ruger Mini 14.
		Functionally the same as an AR-15, but they don't want to ban that one.
		Oh, I'm sorry.
		That's a hunting rifle.
		You know why?
		Because it's got a wood stock with the rifle grip.
		These people have no idea what they're talking about.
		But you know what?
		As I sit back and they regulate things that make no sense, I'm like, okay, whatever, dude.
		I want to point something out to you guys.
		When I saw this meme, and they were like, Oh, this is a- it showed a picture of what looked like a bunch of M1s, and it was like, these are weapons made for hunting.
		And then it showed a bunch of pistol grip, you know, rifles that these are made for killing people.
		And they were talking about gun control and saying, see, this is why we should get rid of these.
		I'm like, do you think that bullets intended for humans work on big game or deer?
		Do you think that a deer is a large, larger creature than a human?
		Okay, so it stands to reason that typically you will want something more powerful for hunting, right?
		As opposed to combat.
		I love it when I'm talking to people and I'll show them, you know, like the ammo we have when we go to the range or whatever, and they'll see a 9mm round or a polymer tip 450 Bushmaster, and I'm like, which one's the weapon of war?
		And then people don't know how I'm trying to trick them.
		So they typically will be like, uh, it's going to be the little one, isn't it?
		Because I'm like, yes, because the big one is for killing deer, which are bigger than people.
		So when they talk about, you should only have things for hunting.
		Oh, okay, great.
		Now we're going to, some lunatic was going to go out with, with slugs, 41 mini slugs and a KSG 25.
		These people have lost their minds.
		Well, they never had them in the first place.
		This stuff riles me up and I'm not even a gun expert, mind you.
		I'm sure you guys in the chat can correct me on a lot of this stuff and talk about how, how it's even worse than I'm saying.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Biden says you just need a shotgun, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We went to the gun shop the other day, and they had a... You didn't invite me?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I'm offended.
unidentified		You weren't here.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I was getting a 12-gauge, and they have a 12-gauge with a rotating magazine tube.
		It has four magazine tubes.
		I think it holds 25.
		And the guy at the shop is like, this one, your shoulder's gonna be hurting after this one, man.
		And I'm like, yeah, I know, but you know, it's cool.
		So I want to get it.
		And then I'm like, isn't it funny that Joe Biden is telling people to get shotguns, which are harder to use?
		They have no idea they're talking like I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm reluctant to talk about what would, what would actually happen if some of these crazies decided to use hunting weapons.
		These people are so dumb.
		They keep regulating things that make guns more dangerous.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		No, exactly.
		They go off.
		You know, you don't need X amount of rounds to hunt.
		You don't need an AR-15 to hunt.
		How do you know?
		Have you ever hunted in your life?
		Have you ever spoken to a hunter?
		Dude, basically, I don't know a single person who hunts and is in favor of gun control.
		I'm sure there's some somewhere.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, they're called FUDs.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Unbelievably rare.
unidentified		Well, also the 10th.
		In Washington State, they banned high-capacity magazines, which they set at 10 rounds.
		Which, for anybody who knows guns, isn't really high capacity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's low capacity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When you buy a weapon, it comes with a 30... an AR-15 will come with a 30-round mag for a 5.62.
unidentified		Yeah, 10 rounds is not high capacity, but you know, and there's an argument, and I have a friend who survived the Vegas shooting.
		So, and I just had her on my podcast the other day, and you know, we had a nice conversation about where she's at and what she went through, and I can't even imagine or put myself there, and she was one of the people who got through this 10-round I'm not a gun person.
		And one of the points she brings up is, well, if you're, you know, people say you need it
		to defend yourself in your home. You don't need, you shouldn't need 10 bullets. It's
		like, well, I probably would need 10 bullets. It's like, I can't hit anything. And it's
		like, I don't want to, I don't want to risk needing 11 or 12 bullets. I mean, I'm not
		a gun person. I don't own any guns, but we have guns in our home.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And there's, there's so many unanswered questions about that Vegas incident that again, was
		brought up initially, was one of the largest mass shootings.
		And then the corporate media just dropped it, stopped talking about it. Didn't even care
		afterwards.
		It's absolutely daunting.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Same thing with Kenosha.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're like, not a terror attack, everybody move on.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, doesn't matter.
		It doesn't fit the narrative, doesn't fit the agenda.
		We can't emotionally manipulate people to get what we want out of this, so we're just gonna drop it and not talk about it.
		That's essentially what happened here.
		I remember also seeing a meme earlier showing MS-13 gangbangers talking to each other, and one of them's like, hey, are we going to the drive-by shooting today?
		And then the other MS-13 gangbanger looks at the other guy and says, I can't.
		I didn't get my gun permit today.
		I can't do that.
		So this is how people think the laws are going to work here.
		They're going to be affecting the people who don't respect the law in the first place?
		No, it's going to affect the law-abiding citizens.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Anybody who's paying attention knows this is just about disarming the population.
		It has nothing to do with preventing any of these shootings or crime or anything like that.
		And, you know, it's crazy because now they're coming out and there were like 10 mass shootings over the weekend, and I was like, oh, now you care about Chicago?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Please, dude.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		Chicago.
		The gun-free zone.
		The place with so much restrictions on people's ability to defend themselves, where criminals know that there's going to be people there who can't do anything if you put a gun in their face because they can't defend themselves when they attack them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Then you watch these videos out of Brazil, man, and it's crazy.
		Where, like, there's that viral video where the guy walks up to the group of women, and he's got a gun, and he's, like, shaking at them, and this woman just pulls out a gun and shoots him, and he just hits the deck.
		I watched, uh, man, I watched another video where these three guys break into a house, and you can see the guy, like, sleeping in his bed, watching YouTube or something, like, he fell asleep watching YouTube videos, and then all of a sudden you see this woman just walk up with a revolver, bang, bang, and the dudes jump out the window.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I mean, what better way to be able to protect yourselves than be able to have a firearm?
		What you're going to do by taking firearms away from individuals is making them potential future victims.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think I just want to make one more point.
		What's ironic is these people who will argue that our brains have just been completely, you know, rotted away at by gun culture and all the action movies basically have all the opinions they have about guns.
		Based on action films, like, they really think you just point at the person, pull the trigger, you're gonna hit them every single time.
		And so that's why they ask questions, like, why would you need 10 rounds or more?
		Look, if someone breaks into your home, your adrenaline's gonna be pumping.
		In the dark.
		In the dark.
		It's gonna, like, you're gonna be shaking.
		Even if you're well-trained, it's gonna be a difficult situation.
		So to sit there and go, why would someone need more than 10 rounds?
		I think, uh, what is it, like, police officers only hit their target something like 30% of the time in high-stress situations, and they train more regularly than your average citizen.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How many conversations have you at home had where someone was like, why didn't they shoot the gun out of the perpetrator's hand?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yes, or this is my favorite.
		This is my favorite.
		Why didn't they just shoot him in the leg?
		What?
		And hit a major artery?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Hey, I write and kill him.
unidentified		That's why I love when they make the mainstream reporters go do the assignment where they take the training and they have somebody like shoot him with a fake gun.
		It's like, oh, you're dead because you didn't act fast enough.
		When I was beginning my career in Seattle, I covered crime and justice before I switched over to politics.
		And I made a point before I talked about any use of force, I would have that use of force done.
		I mean, short of being shot.
		Like when Eric Garner wasn't killed by New York police in a chokehold.
		So I let some police officer on camera choke me in an LVNR, a lateral vascular neck restraint.
		Choke me unconscious.
		To see what it would be like, and I gotta say, I would rather that happen than pepper spray or anything like that, because that's much worse than being choked out.
		But I think it would be good for reporters, it should be kind of standard in newsrooms, to make them go through some of that training that police go through before they talk about it, you know, things like that, like shoot him in the face.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think there are plenty of police officers who would volunteer to choke a reporter out.
unidentified		That's what I was going to say.
		I think we could send this program out.
		City of Lakewood Police Department, they asked me for that video, I don't know where the video went, but City of Lakewood, they jumped at the opportunity to do that.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		They could stream this on YouTube, we send superchats.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's another very dangerous attempt at gun control.
		You see, here's what's happening.
		If you go over to gasprices.triplea.com, the national average gas price is $4.86.5%.
		You see, gas is going to be so expensive, you won't be able to buy it, you can't afford the guns.
		So there you go.
		No, in all actuality, yo, gas prices are nearing five bucks.
		This is apocalyptic.
		But wait, it's okay.
		Joe Biden is allowing solar panel imports, and he has said that this is a robust recovery.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Where are those solar panels coming from?
		Are they coming from China?
		China.
		And where's China getting the minerals?
		This is the big caveat.
		Where's China getting the minerals to produce those solar panels?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you know?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Is it Xinjiang?
		No, no, no, no.
		It's another place that we left a lot of weaponry in.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Afghanistan!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Afghanistan!
		Yes, there you go.
		It comes all full circle here.
		What do I win?
		The Great Reset.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		The destruction of your country.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the domestic destruction.
		But again, when we look at what the government has been doing here, these prices... We're just going into peak driving season.
		These prices are gonna go up.
		The demand is going to go up.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's summer, dude.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, with these prices, everything else is going to go up.
		It's not just paying at the pump.
		It's not just paying for gas.
		Your groceries, every other item is going to rise in price because of this domestic energy policy that is shooting itself in the foot and is literally creating this financial havoc that we are dealing with.
		Some people call this the Great Reset.
		Some people are saying that we need to destroy the old in order to build back better.
		Those are the talking terms of the Biden administration.
		Not mine and a lot of other Globalist and World Economic Forum types.
		They're the ones talking about this.
		Obviously what's happening here to me is absolutely deliberate.
		We are seeing the financial destruction of the United States from within the inside and we still don't even know the actual numbers of the secret Federal Reserve bailouts that are bailing out all the big corporations that have friends within their government.
		So things are scary.
		Things are absolutely terrifying, especially when you look at the financial situation.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I just want to say gas prices are high in part due to Joe Biden's intentional climate change actions.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's just not even up for dispute.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Because, you know, it's more environmentally friendly to import energy from Saudi Arabia than it is to produce it domestically here in the United States.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And we get to prop up a murderous dictatorship that keeps assassinating children in Yemen.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Whatever is happening after the fact, it is a fact that Joe Biden said he was campaigning on climate change, he was going to reduce carbon emissions, all of that good climate change stuff, he shut down Keystone, he banned Stopping exploration, stopping discovery.
		This is deliberate.
		And this is stated intentionally because of climate issues and environmental issues.
		And now gas prices are going up partly due to that.
		There is a spike coming because of Ukraine.
		That's a fact, especially with Europe and especially with us having to help protect Europe and do what we can in terms of their energy.
		We are being hit by that as well.
		If you're wondering why it's getting so crazy, Joe Biden's gonna try and blame Vladimir Putin, but gas prices were going up well before Putin.
unidentified		But the problem is the mainstream media believes what Joe Biden says on it.
unidentified		If you watch the mainstream media, you think what's happening right now, what's been happening for the last three months, is because of Ukraine.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		It's terrifying.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, the problem is people believing the mainstream media about anything.
unidentified		Yeah, but there's a lot of Americans who believe the mainstream media.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The journalists, I don't think, believe Joe Biden.
unidentified		Well then why are they putting it out there?
		Because they're liars!
		Because they're liars!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they lie, that's why.
		They're like, oh Joe Biden lied again, run it.
		That's it.
unidentified		Well, have you seen his Twitter account lately?
		It is like every day he's blaming someone else for inflation and gas prices.
		It was meat producers, oil producers, Republicans, Trump, Ukraine, Putin.
		It's a different thing every day.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I was saying this, that Joe Biden is a sacrificial lamb.
		They knew that it was going to be really, really bad.
		So they needed someone to run who's not going to win again.
		They needed a Buchanan or somebody.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And they could blame it on him being old and having cognitive decline.
unidentified		But they won't even admit that!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Not yet.
		Well, this is a part of the game.
		We're arguing about that, not the larger destruction that's happening within the United States.
		Two weeks ago, the New York Post had a very eye-opening article that was titled, Biden praises high gas prices as part of an incredible transition.
		So this is his own words, and this is the transition that we're going through right now, because this is deliberate.
		This is what they've been talking about planning, instituting, and doing for a very long time.
		They don't want you having freedom of mobility.
		They don't want you driving cars.
		They don't want you having freedom in your own personal individual life, and what better way to do that?
		Then to take it away from individuals by making it too expensive and only allowing the super-rich individuals like John Kerry to fly around in their private jets and to lecture everyone about how we need to stop over-consuming and have Bill Gates buy out the media to promote his fake meat because red meat is somehow bad for you when the scientific data, specifically and especially when it comes to beef liver, highlights the exact opposite of that.
		I keep going, I'm about to explode because this is a part, again, I think this is all deliberate.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I saw a meme, and people are like, when, you know, after 9-11, we said, oh well.
		No, we didn't!
		We changed the entire way that we board planes.
		And I responded, it was like, no, only for poor people.
		Like, if you're rich, you get expedited, or you get TSA-pre.
		If you fly on a private plane, there's no security.
		I recently flew on a private plane.
		It was fantastic.
		It was the first time I've ever flown.
		And it was a gift.
		I got lucky, because someone happened to be going the same way as me, and they were like, come on, you know, take a ride.
		And I was like, okay.
		And we walk into the airport, and they're like, hey, I'm your captain, right this way.
		And we just walk straight through.
		It's like 10 feet from the door to the door to the tarmac.
		You walk on the plane.
		Not a big plane.
		It was very cramped.
		But, you know, the rich people, they don't have to wear masks.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		They don't have to deal with the blue glove TSA agents patting you down, putting their hands where they have no business placing those hands in there.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You know?
unidentified		Was it Elon's plane?
		Did you get a massage?
		Was there a massage table in there?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's way too small for that.
unidentified		Okay.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		So, you know, look, I'm looking... Not if you're, you know, Mr. Epstein.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me tell you guys something.
		You know how much it costs?
		So we looked into this.
		From DC to Austin.
		Round trip, private jet.
		Just the base lowest rate.
		How much do you think it costs?
unidentified		Ten grand.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How much do you think it costs, Luke?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Private jet from where?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		DC to Austin.
		Round trip.
		15?
		20?
		20.
		$55,000.
		Oh my gosh!
		It used to be way cheaper a year ago, two years ago, but the price of fuel has skyrocketed and there's a shortage of pilots.
		It's $55,000 and people do it all the time.
		They do have these things where they do these pools where you buy like a percentage of a fleet and then you can use it and then you gotta spend a couple grand per flight or whatever.
		But that's how much it costs and guess what?
		Part of the reason it's so high is because the demand from the wealthy They are willing to spend that to avoid the blue gloves going up and then them, you know, groping your buttocks.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		And these are often the elites who are telling us how important these security measures are.
		I'm glad you brought this up, Luke.
		Biden talking about an incredible transition because it's interesting.
		I thought we were going to see a return to normal because that's what he promised.
		But one of my favorite things about this is here we see that, as is the case with transgenderism, transition is just a euphemism for mutilation.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Fair point.
		Another aspect of this that I think is worth entertaining and talking about is that the same time that he announced and made this very important incredible transition statement, he also announced the plan to set up more bike lanes, especially in city areas, and set up more speed cameras.
		What is that going to do?
		This is going along with the UN 2030 vision, the World Economic Forum, Build Back Better.
		This is everything that they've always been talking about, dreaming about.
		And one of their key plans is to eliminate people's ability to travel, people's ability to have a car.
		And I think this is the larger plan because this is all for allegedly global warming.
		No, it's really about subjecting human beings to slavery and controlling every aspect of their existence.
		What better way to do that than even controlling their ability to move around?
		They want you living in those cities.
		This is a part of a larger agenda that has been building up for a very long time.
		And there has been a huge attack on people's ability to be able to drive.
		You have to deal with With inspections, you have to deal with regulations, you have to deal with so many regulations against diesel, so many environmental regulations, but when we look at the people hurting the environment, they're the ones getting a lot of the support, a lot of the tax money, a lot of the government socialism that goes directly to them.
		Everyone else gets screwed, is paying the ultimate price, and I think this is only going to get worse, and I think this is not an accident that this is happening, I think this is
		deliberate, lockstep and barrel, every step of the way they are pushing for humanity's total
		enslavement and taking away people's ability to drive is going to be one of those key
		elements that they need to get rid of.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, Biden is furious that he's trailing Trump in the polls, erupted over being kept
		out of the loop on baby formula, and is trying to avoid being compared to Jimmy Carter.
		No, he's, like, worse than Jimmy Carter.
		Don't worry, Joey, we won't compare you to him.
		You're worse.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		Notice they didn't have to keep him out of the loop on, like, adult diapers, right?
		He knows what those numbers are at.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he's like, oh, what's the stock on adult diapers, man?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's actually some very interesting comparisons to Jimmy Carter's administration, to the Biden administration, especially to what happened in the 1970s, especially what happened geopolitically, with a lot of very similar troubles that people had to deal with then that people are also dealing with now.
		And I think, especially if you look at the baby formula shortage, another problem of too big government.
		It's WIC program.
		It's overproduction.
		It's over reliance on one particular corporation that probably has ties to the government.
		Again, a lot of these problems go directly towards the central planners that think that they could control every aspect of your existence.
		And because they do, they make a lot of problems for you.
		I think these problems are deliberate, and they're only going to get worse from here.
unidentified		Do you guys want Trump to run again?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Man, I kind of do because I'm not so convinced DeSantis is going to Clean House.
		You know, so, like, a couple months ago I was saying I would prefer DeSantis because he's younger, he's got more tact and everything.
		But just with how crazy things are getting, I'm kind of like, I think DeSantis would get in and try and hold on.
		I think Trump will get in and just clean house.
		He's going to fire everyone.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I have the opposite approach.
		I have no trust in Trump at all.
		I think he was totally infiltrated and totally acted for the deep state and made the situation worse for a lot of people.
		Operation Warp Speed is one of the hugest scams.
		So much scams that were run on the American people.
		So many mistakes.
		That's just my perspective.
unidentified		2024 is going to be fascinating.
		Do you think Kamala Harris, because Biden's not running again, right?
		No way.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's no way.
unidentified		There's no way.
unidentified		They pretend he is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They would have to announce within the next few months if that's the case because they got to start lining up the primary pool for next year.
unidentified		Yeah, but you don't think they're so identity obsessed.
		You don't really think Democrats would allow anyone to challenge Kamala Harris, do you?
		I don't know.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		You look at her poll numbers.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		She is extremely unlikable.
unidentified		But who wants to be the Democrat who tries to push out a woman of color?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Well, here's a question though.
		It depends on whether the mainstream media feels, and the DNC feels, that this candidate who's running against Kamala is useful to them.
		Because if that's the case, then all of the horrible things Kamala has said and done are going to be fair game and the media is going to allow people to discuss them.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I see maybe even Michelle Obama, Stacey Abrams, who's a Bilderberg member, by the way.
		I see all of them making prominent moves in this.
		Pete Buttigieg, I think he's also going to be another prominent individual that they're propping up here as well.
		So I think we're going to keep an eye on all of them.
		But I think the United States is a sinking ship, and I don't know who would want the job at this juncture, because you're literally going to be in charge of something that people are not going to be happy with in the near future.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Look, I mean, if Pete Buttigieg can give birth, he can save the country.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Pete Buttigieg doesn't have the X Factor.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		He doesn't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Gavin Newsom looks like a mannequin.
unidentified		Oh, not Gavin Newsom.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He looks like he's Michelle Obama, but she's like apparently never going to do it.
unidentified		Washington governor Jay Inslee.
unidentified		He got like 1% the first time around, right?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Whitmore.
		She's very popular in Michigan.
		And that California guy, what's his name?
		That eats at that very fancy restaurant.
		Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
		That guy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He looks like a mannequin.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he does.
unidentified		He's very pointy.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Botox.
unidentified		Sharp.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He looks like he's made of plastic.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Buttigieg has a lot of CIA connections.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I still see him being promoted and prompted up, and I think he's going to be a contender.
unidentified		At least he can string a sentence together.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Well, he's young and trendy, and he doesn't have the X factor, but I do see him being promoted prominently in the next upcoming election.
		That's how I just see it.
unidentified		Sorry, I derailed the conversation.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no, it's fine.
		It's fine.
		We're in a huge mess with this administration.
		And who's going to come clean up the pieces?
		Absolutely no one.
		And you need to be personally responsible for yourself.
		And my opinion, my perspective, and I might be wrong, and it's OK if I'm wrong, is that if you believe a politician is going to help you out, you have victim mentality.
		No one's going to help you out.
		No one's going to come and save you, except you yourself.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Someone is going to help us.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		She's got us.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		AOC is criticizing Democrats' refusal to use the word Latinx despite divide over the term.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Many Democrats worry the term Latinx alienates voters of Latin American descent.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		AOC, don't stop.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Don't stop.
		Keep on going.
		Tell them all to keep saying it.
		Please, please.
		Your advocacy is so important to helping Republicans win in the midterms.
unidentified		Didn't she just come out as Native American?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		She's transracial.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		So this is the thing about Latinx.
		I've said this before.
		Part of the reason the left feels it's so important for folks to start using this phrase is because to name a person or group of people is to assert ownership over them.
		And that is how they view the Hispanic community.
		They believe that they're their owners and handlers just like they feel they're the owners and handlers of every single other minority group they claim to speak for.
		Now, the Latino community does not use this phrase.
		They don't like that phrase.
		The polling has made it perfectly clear.
		But these leftist colonists are going to do every single thing they can to force their bizarre gender ideology onto this culture.
		I think they know that they have to work their way in there and really destroy the Hispanic understanding of family life by subverting their understanding of gender roles because they know that given the Catholic culture of many of these nations.
		They are likely to be more socially conservative in the future and they could even become Republican voters.
		I think that's the fear.
		So they need to do every single thing they can now to subvert that culture as much as possible.
		That's what this term is about.
		Destroy their understanding of sexual relationships.
		Destroy their understanding of the differences between men and women.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You look at South Texas and things are not looking good for Democrats.
		Latino voters are voting Republican.
		You look at Florida.
		Yeah, November's gonna be wild.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Do you think that, I mean, like, seriously, when, you know, churches get torched or when the Holy Mass is interrupted over Roe being overturned, how do you think a Mexican Catholic feels about that?
		Like, how do you think that voter bloc is going to respond?
		They are going to do everything they can to strip these cultures of their identity.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's going to be interesting.
		I mean, I think there's going to be a lot of surprises before November.
		I think there's a lot of more instability than we even realize right now.
		I think financially, this is going to be the bigger kind of picture here that's going to affect a lot of people's decisions, especially at the voting booth.
		But it's really just fascinating that there's so many problems, there's so many things going wrong, but we're talking about Latinx?
		To me, this is just crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		August is going to be lit.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		August?
unidentified		Oh yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		So we're going to be getting into the fall harvest season.
		So we're going to be running low on food.
		There's not going to be new food or it's going to be seriously depleted because of the lack of fertilizer in spring.
		There's going to be diesel shortages.
		No diesel means even if they have the food they can't bring it to you.
		It's gonna be $10 a gallon in California and probably in a bunch of other places.
		We're about to break $5 a gallon as it is.
		But, uh, hopefully AOC keeps criticizing Democrats who don't say the word Latinks.
unidentified		Yeah, keep it up.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Maybe, Tim, we could solve all these problems by calling people Latinx.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Is it Latinx?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Latinx.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I don't even know how to pronounce it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I don't even care how to pronounce it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like Latino, Latina, Latinx?
unidentified		I want to make sure I pronounce it correctly, you know?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		I just want to make sure you don't pronounce it.
unidentified		I don't know how to pronounce it.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		It's an horrible term.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We had a progressive on this show recently, and when I asked him why the Green New Deal had a bunch of stuff like free college for marginalized people and healthcare, he's like, because that's who's affected first.
		And I'm like, that doesn't solve anything having to do with the climate crisis.
		It's like, we want to solve climate change, so we're going to give college to minorities.
		I'm like, what does that do about carbon emissions?
		Nothing.
unidentified		But you can't point that out because then you're racist.
unidentified		You're racist.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I guess.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		You're racist against the latinx.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It was a meme I saw and it said, when gas prices go up, and they show like a wind turbine, and it's like, the price for running the wind turbine didn't, and then I just responded with like, they use petroleum-based lubricants.
		Like, what do you, what do you think, like, what are you talking about?
		Of course the prices went up.
		The price for everything goes up.
		I don't know what they're doing.
		I can only say this.
		The one thing that it seems to be is that the country is being gutted and burned to the ground.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Deliberately.
		On purpose.
		Not by accident.
		They try to make it look like it's an accident.
		They're like, oh no, it's just incompetency.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, the actions they take that are burning the country down are completely deliberate.
		Absolutely.
		I would assume the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		I think there's an element of that as well.
		But I think there's also just organizations being like, well, let's, let's make these people believe that they're doing the right thing.
		Let's, let's push this agenda here.
		Let's, let's, let's actually, you know, rearrange things in a way that's going to work out for our personal benefit.
		So I do see people kind of waiting behind the scenes, pushing a lot of these agendas and narratives that do play a bigger role that we don't even realize immediately.
		But then later down the line, we're like, Hey, we're looking around like, Hey, there's only bugs to eat here.
		Hey, we only have a pod.
		Hey, we only have a VR headset.
		Hey, we can't go out of our house.
		We don't have a car.
		We can't afford a car.
		We can't even drive a car.
		So I do see this kind of larger element that we're slowly creeping into, which is a technocratic nightmare.
		And I think it's worth calling out.
		I think This news, especially with Elon Musk and Twitter, is a lot bigger than we even realize.
		I think there's a lot on the line here, and let's just say it's not a boring time to be alive.
		It's very interesting, and I think it's only going to get a lot more interesting.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Speaking of, there's this point you made earlier, Tim, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and in many ways that's true, but bad intentions don't pave the road to heaven.
		And we do live in a culture, unfortunately, where many of those at the top really do have very bad intentions.
		And it might not necessarily be that it's their goal to destroy the system, but they do want to enrich themselves at the expense of everybody else.
		And they also want to hook their friends up and demolish whatever part of the culture it is that happens to bother them.
		And that's going to have consequences that not even they realize.
		It's going to get really bad.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So let's use the last few minutes for Super Chats to talk about this technocratic hellscape.
		Just have some fun because earlier today I went to this AI and I asked it to make images of Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi.
		So we pulled it up again and before the show I asked this AI to generate some images for me.
		And I'm going to show you these images because they're hilarious and I hope you guys enjoy them.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		It's from the new Avatar movie?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		So I said I would like to see an image of Tom Cruise and this is what it gave me.
		For those that are only listening, you know, it'll only be a few minutes but I'll describe it.
		It is an orange background with a blue-skinned man.
		That could kind of look like Tom Cruise, but it's not.
unidentified		It looks like Adam Driver.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Jake Gyllenhaal.
unidentified		Yeah, it does.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he's got a bunch of teeth.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's got too many teeth for a lot of teeth.
unidentified		I mean, kind of a babe, though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's like a, you know, model-looking kind of guy.
		All right, let's go to the next one.
		I said Bill Clinton.
		All right, you guys ready for this?
		Here's AI.
		It looks like Guy Fieri.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Bill Clinton's about to take us to Flavortown.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		He said Bill's about to go to Flavortown Island on a private jet.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		On a private jet to a private island.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You guys ready for this one?
		An AI-generated Bill Gates.
		Here we go!
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I asked for that one.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what this is.
unidentified		Yeah, what's the Bill portion of that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is it like St.
		Peter?
		It's like the Kremlin or something?
		It's not a person.
unidentified		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because I don't know.
		Who's next?
		You guys ready?
		Jeffrey Epstein.
		You guys ready for AI-generated Jeffrey Epstein?
		There you go.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's about right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it's pretty close.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's probably what he looks like now after the reconstructive facial surgery.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They were trying to figure out how to do reconstructive facial surgery, so they ran it through the AI and they made this.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Somewhere in the world, right now, there's a guy looking exactly like that.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Be like, they're on to me!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Are you guys ready for the best one?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		This next one is the best.
unidentified		Which one is it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Donald Trump Jr.
		Are you guys ready for this?
		I'm warning you now, you guys are going to lose it when you see an AI-generated Donald Trump Jr.
		You ready for this?
		Here you go.
unidentified		It's the spoon that gets me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's got a spoon!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay, first of all, it looks more like Alan West than Donald Trump Jr.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it does for smooth skin.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's something wrong with the chin, but it is a black man with a spoon in his mouth.
unidentified		And like a sushi, sashimi, napkin bib?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Is it just like he's rich, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Is that what we're seeing?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Are we sure we're not looking at Hunter Biden's art?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright now that's what you guys right this one might scare the children this one's gonna scare the kids Nancy Pelosi
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but she always does. Yeah, she does true. Here's Nancy Pelosi
unidentified		Skin suit. Yeah I think she looks better here than she does in real life.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It looks like a skin, a Nancy Pelosi skin suit.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Look at that hand.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look at the eyes.
		It's like, what is that?
		It's, what is going on?
		That is so creepy.
unidentified		AI will not be taking over anytime soon.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now for the people on the show.
		You guys ready for a good one?
		Luke Rydkowski is first.
		Here is AI generated Luke Rydkowski.
		Sort of got the eyes right.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		The nose should be a lot bigger.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like you and Brandon Ruth combined.
unidentified		Probably, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't understand, like the hair is wrong?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's not bad.
unidentified		Alright, who's next?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		The next one I think is Seamus in about two years from now.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		I think it's me about now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You guys are gonna love Seamus.
		You ready?
		You ready for Seamus?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Seamus in two years.
unidentified		I could see it.
unidentified		It looks like Fat Bastard.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		No, I think it looks kind of like me.
unidentified		I really do.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I could see it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I see it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It looks like Joe Biden.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, but it's got like Thanos' chin.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and Joe Biden.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like Joe Biden and Thanos combined.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, exactly.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's Seamus.
		Who's next?
		Lydia.
		Lydia's was just like an AI.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I look like the lady from The Closer.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And like one of your eyes is smashed.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Creepy eyes!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But this is kind of weird because it just looks like a badly drawn person.
unidentified		It looks like a demon trying to disguise itself as a woman.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And now for the best one.
		Timothy Pool.
		Are you guys ready for this?
		Here we go.
		It's literally a swimming pool.
		That's what the AI made.
		The AI literally just made a swimming pool.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		I wish there was a beanie on it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's the Timothy pool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Just like Bill Gates, if your name is a common noun, you cannot be AI generated.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		What if you put an E at the end of the pool?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So if you follow my Twitter, twitter.com slash timcast, you can see where I Made an AI-generated image of Joe Biden sniffing a little girl.
		Joe Biden and Donald Trump fused together as one person.
		That's the worst thing I've ever heard.
		And a couple of bonus Joe Bidens.
		Yeah, that was fun.
unidentified		The Joe Biden sniffing the little girl's my favorite.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it's like, it's weird.
		It's not it's it's just his face is smashed.
		And like, there's not really little girls like a weird mashed faced pig looking thing.
unidentified		Yeah, I won't be able to sleep tonight if you show it again.
unidentified		I don't want to see it again.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, it's creepy.
		It's on Twitter.
		The Nancy Pelosi was good.
		Actually, maybe I can pull it up if I just go to Twitter.
		Go to my Oh, yeah, you know what?
		I'll just I'll just I'll just pull it up here.
		We're on Twitter.
		Let's see we got here.
		A.I., Joe Biden sniffing a little girl, A.I.
		generated image.
unidentified		Look at this!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		So the A.I.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		created that image.
unidentified		Yes.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Made it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		An A.I.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		made this image.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Here's a couple of Joe Biden bonuses.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's Donald Trump and Joe Biden fused as one person.
unidentified		That's actually pretty legit.
unidentified		That one's good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's Nancy Pelosi.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Dude, why are her hands always weird in these?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		She looks great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know, dude.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		She needs all the hands to hold all the money she's getting from the stock market.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's true.
		That's true.
		Here's Joe Biden AI and then the Donald Trump AI.
		Yeah, what's with like his hand on his shoulder like that?
unidentified		What is happening?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Frankly.
unidentified		Wow.
		You talking about me?
		It's like they were at the Madame, Madame, how do you say that?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Desserts.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Desserts, yeah.
unidentified		And then it melted, you know?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's exactly what it looks like.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, everybody.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't like that.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		That's AI, but we're gonna... You should have the AI draw a super chatter at some point.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The AI what?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Draw a super chatter, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, like one of their names?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Or one of their names.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But the issue is that unless they're really, really famous, it just gives you random images.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Like... I don't know.
		I thought Luke and I looked pretty good.
		You look pretty good too, bro.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I was a swimming pool.
unidentified		Yeah, you look great.
unidentified		Swimming pools look great.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Looking good, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
		We're gonna have a members-only show coming up at 11 p.m.
		You don't want to miss it.
		Let's read the super chats from all of you guys.
		What do we got?
		All right.
		Lethal5670 says, have you heard much on the Dems' proposal for a 1,000% tax on AR-15 style weapons?
		Yes, we talked about it.
		Matthew Hammond says, please make Milo your press secretary, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
		Alright.
		Michael Alio says, now that Luke is back, I can finally stop puking.
unidentified		Good.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Finally.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		And I can start.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
		says, Luke didn't waste a second switching his background.
		In fact, before the show, we had like, we were hammering.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There's a little confrontation that happened.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It was great.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		We had to, you know, I had to fight for this.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I had to fight for all this, but I got it and I won.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		I wouldn't go that far.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		It was definitely a fight.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It was a competition.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		At some point, I just decided to let you have it.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There was a physical altercation between me and someone on this show.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I don't know who he saw.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Luke hit a woman.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Jackson Lady on the head.
unidentified		I am a black belt, so it would have gone well for me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		What do we get?
		Dominic Camarata says, Who's this Luke?
		He him?
unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A. Jones says, I'm afraid if y'all get swatted again that Roberto will fail to keep his cool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Roberto is off at Freedomistan.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Roberto Jr.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Roberto Jr.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		We sent him to boarding school.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Roberto was sent to the penal colony for abusing women.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Australia.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, Freedomistan.
		Alright.
		Bryce E. says, it's $5.20 for a gallon of gas by me in Wisconsin.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It's $4.79 here.
unidentified		Wow.
		It's like $6 in Seattle.
		Yikes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
		says, Tim, my Marine Corps has become a corporate shill.
		All Americans should be proud every day.
		The bent knee speaks volumes of the leaders.
		Admonish them.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's what my brother said, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		OMG Puppy says, It is not just that Twitter serves the Democrats.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is also used by the NED and CIA for international operations, color revolution, etc.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		Yeah.
		Many documented cases.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Economic hitmen.
		Stuff like that.
		Yeah.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		In QTEL.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sam Whitehurst says, watched a clip of Ben Shapiro talking with Neil deGrasse Tyson about trans people in sports, and he was literally shaking when answering the question.
		I used to admire him, but I found many of my heroes will lie to save face.
		Well, Neil deGrasse Tyson, I mean, he's never been that good to be honest.
		Like just listen to what he says.
		And you're kind of like, dude, I think Twitter really was bad for Neil deGrasse Tyson.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Saying a bunch of really dumb things.
		Salty Duckling says, I'd like to welcome back my favorite decaf Russian.
		It's even better than my favorite.
		No, I can't say that on Twitter.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you cannot say that?
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Well, I just want you all to know it is a slur against my people.
unidentified		That's right.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Whisper it to me later, Tamis.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		And I'm Polish!
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		No, I think that's what he was saying.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Decaf Russian?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		How dare you?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		If I would get offended, I would be offended.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		There was nothing decaf about you tonight, don't worry.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's true, there was not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so what is this?
		Someone just posted the lyrics to Smash Mouth.
		So don't delay.
		Act now.
		Supplies are running out.
		Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive.
		And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow.
		But if the offer is shunned, you might as well be walking on the sun.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		How it feels like we're all melting.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, there you go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Thanks for the smash mouth.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Always valuable.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Smash mouth.
		A lot of people saying Luke, Luke, Luke is back.
		Luke is back.
unidentified		What is a Luke shaft cam?
		I've seen it mentioned.
		I'm assuming it is what I think it is.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Welcome to our chat.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, Brandi.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Our chat is highly inappropriate.
unidentified		No, please describe to me what a... No!
unidentified		It's like a... Oh, it's a... It's like a flagpole.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Ian Shaft Cam.
unidentified		Yeah, same idea.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's exactly the same.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Our chat's a wonderful place.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think you might be too wholesome for this chat.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		You are too wholesome.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I love the chat room.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Are you writing it down?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I'm going to take that.
unidentified		What is a Shaft Cam?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, go ahead and look it up.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no, don't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You don't want to look that up?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Don't look it up.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Don't do it.
unidentified		I'm not gonna google that on your wi-fi.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I'm blushing.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I'll fill you in after.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Luke is definitely blushing.
unidentified		I love it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The chat is blowing up with people laughing.
		Oh man.
		Oh, that was good.
unidentified		I've never been called wholesome.
		I like coming here.
		I'm wholesome here.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's really bad here.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Waffle Sensei says the Uvalde cops are just a result of a castrated nationwide police force who is so afraid of stepping one toe out of line that they were more afraid for themselves than these children's lives.
		It's too late.
		Cops should go.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Crazy.
unidentified		Go where?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Different jobs!
		Different jobs.
		Richard Adams says, great journalism about Seth Rich's subject.
		There is a difference between negligence and enabling.
		By the way, the shooter was in contact with the FBI.
		In Uvalde?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I think that was Buffalo, those retired FBI agents.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		That was on the forum, that was in communication with them.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I heard a rumor that the Uvalde shooter was speaking to someone they could not identify.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There was rumors that they were on the same chat room.
		I haven't seen that verified yet.
		We got lots of crazy stuff out there.
		Don't believe everything you read.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Heyman says you cannot buy guns on credit.
unidentified		False!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You absolutely can.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I do it all the time.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Why would you not be able to?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's weird.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		In fact, I only buy on credit.
		I just pay it off after every period or whatever.
		Let's see, a baked cup says 1600 rounds and magazines for all of them.
		That's a lot of money, not to mention a $700 optic and two 2K rifles.
		I mean, yeah, even if he was saving up that much money, I don't think, like, even if he was saving all his money, I don't know how he gets to the truck.
		The truck was like 60 grand, wasn't it?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it was an expensive truck, especially now if you could even be lucky enough to get a truck, because, you know, it's very difficult to even do that now.
unidentified		I didn't realize he had bought a truck.
unidentified		Yeah, he did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Expensive.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Nathan Bacon Baby says, Tim, please use that Daily Wire ad money to have makeup artists get everyone on a show done up in high-quality Star Trek costumes.
		Maybe try to see each other with them as soon as you go live.
		That sounds highly ridiculous and very expensive, and I think it goes well beyond the amount of money we would have got paid from the Daily Wire.
		Really now, says military here.
		If you're a victim, you flee.
		If you're a responder, you eliminate the threat.
		It's that simple.
		If you hear shots that's not barricaded, it's active.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That guy says, what I wouldn't give to see Luke and Brandon Tatum in the same room with a running camera.
		Holy hell, Luke.
		We've missed you.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I missed you guys, too.
		It's fun.
		I've been watching the chat room.
		You guys are on fire.
		I love it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People want that Luke Schaft cam.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I haven't seen those comments today, actually.
unidentified		Oh, I saw many.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We will explain that to you in the non-family friendly version over at TimCast.com at 11 p.m.
unidentified		Looking forward to it.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It's gonna be great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like a bunch of fake leftist accounts arguing with conservatives just to keep conservatives entertained and on the platform.
		I mean, yeah.
		It was hacked and almost all the female user accounts were fake.
		Some operated by employees.
		What's happening on Twitter isn't reality.
		It's like a bunch of fake leftist accounts arguing with conservatives just to keep conservatives
		entertained on the platform.
		Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, why go conspiracy when you preach Arkham's razor?
		Arkham?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		That's a good razor.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I like that.
unidentified		Arkham's razor.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I need to know more.
		Arkham's razor.
		Poison Fist said, where's the dashboard cams?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Traffic cams?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		like that all criminals will read Engage in recidivism or something like that. What do you
		mean good sir? What do you mean?
		Arkham's razor Poison fist said where's the dash dashboard cams traffic
		cams body cams?
		School CCTVs or citizen phone footage We only have 10 seconds.
		Filet-O-Fishy AF.
		Though 10 seconds more than we have of Adam Lanza.
		Crazy.
		Let's see.
unidentified		Now there are eggplant emojis, so I imagine I've got my answer about what the chef cam is.
unidentified		There's your answer.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Enjoy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me drink some water real quick.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I got nothing to say about that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Luke, provide comment?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Don't know what to say about that one, but very creative commenters.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I love the entertainment.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Chat's a great place.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That guy says, Tim, you're Alec Baldwin logic, whereas dozens of mistakes would have to be conducted in succession to make Alec innocent.
		What if you apply that same logic to Yuvaldi?
		Where would that lead you?
		It would lead to a psychopathic murderer who bought guns and then went and shot people.
		I mean, The thing about Alec Baldwin was that we know he had the gun, we know he was manipulating the gun, we know there was a live bullet in the gun, we know he pointed the gun, and I'm saying all of those things are literally true, then how could you argue it was an accident?
		It's the inversion of a conspiracy theory.
		It's like, the Alec Baldwin story was literally the media making up a conspiracy theory.
		Alec Baldwin was handed a gun that he was supposed to have checked, that someone else was supposed to have checked, and he pointed at a woman, pulled the hammer back, releasing a live round, killing her after having a dispute with her over pay or something like that.
		Or something like that happened.
		And to believe anything other than just that story right there would be to be making it into a conspiracy theory.
		We'll see.
		Alright, what do we got?
		More Super Chats.
		Ian Hall says, to the point, you are the militia.
		Prepare and be ready.
		That is true.
		Sergeant Buck says Seattle is a lost cause at this point, speaking as a near Seattle native.
		Inslee thinks restricting magazine size to 10 rounds will do something.
		He's only harming law-abiding gun owners.
		That is true and correct.
		Like anybody who's got an illegal weapon and planning to commit a crime is gonna care about breaking another law, especially something like that.
		So dumb.
		Guardsman Norheim of the 10th First, isn't, he says, isn't this why, isn't, well he says, isn't the why can Ukraine get guns argument a little weak considering they are actively under attack from Russia?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Well, the aspect here that we have to understand here is that a lot of these weapons are being sent, not tracked, we don't know what hands they're going into, and you could bet your bottom dollar there's going to be a lot of black market firearms after this conflict, if it ever ends, because this conflict might not end.
		So obviously I understand your point, but the point is more kind of nuanced here, saying specifically you want those people to have guns, but other people not to have guns, based on Alright, let's give it some more.
		We got some more superchats.
		We got so many superchats.
		We have so many.
		The best superchats.
		of virtue because people should be able to defend themselves no matter what the situation is.
unidentified		So that's just my perspective and comment. All right let's give some more we got some more
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		super chats we got so many super chats we have so many the best super chats everybody agrees.
		Hybrid says I'm so glad I can stop puking.
		Welcome back.
		Everybody was just vomiting all over their keyboards every night.
		They couldn't help it.
		I just watched the show.
		It's just so good.
unidentified		I can't stop.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I promise it's no joke.
unidentified		The pandemic is over.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tyrant Hunter says, hey, if they make guns hard to get, I'll just befriend some cartel members and get some of our guns Obama gave them.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's always one way to do it, I guess.
		I don't think that'll work out too well for you, though, to be honest.
		Stim Bucket says, teaching is the answer, not tyranny.
		Accurate information is almost always better than regulation.
		No taxation without transparency.
		Were you looking up something to show Luke?
unidentified		Oh, somebody wants a brandy foot cam.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Oh, even better.
unidentified		You don't.
unidentified		My feet are not nice.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Welcome to our chat.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Chris Larson says the largest producer of eggs in the U.S.
		was mysteriously burnt down recently, making it the 19th food producer to burn down this year.
		So the important thing here is you need to look at every year the amount of food processing plants or related plants had suffered some kind of incident.
		And I don't think the numbers this year are remarkable.
		I think what people are doing is they're noticing and then being like whoa this looks crazy and it's like it was also crazy in like 2013 you know so but I mean I do think it's fair to point out that regardless of whether it's normal or not these things are gonna have a bad a very serious impact on the already strained food supply.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I'm gonna have to see what Tucker Carlson said about that because he mentioned it shortly after we talked about it and I forget what he concluded so I'll check it out.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Seamus Potter gold cam.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, Nate says Tim, if that is the definition of concentration camp, wouldn't that make AOC correct about what you said about the border?
		No, because people choosing to come to the border to go into a camp is different from being taken from your home without due process.
		Someone trying to enter a jurisdiction illegally, and then being detained is breaking the law.
		Being detained is part of due process.
		Being in your home and having medical agents show up and say, you're going to the camp, there's no charge, no trial, we'll let you know when you can leave, that is being rounded up for a concentration camp.
		All right, where are we at?
		I can't read this one.
		Twofulhundengrunt says, if you are old enough to be drafted, you are old enough to drink, smoke, vote, drive, have sex, and own any firearm.
		Yes.
		And if you're not old enough to have those things, 21, then you should be able to vote.
		So, raise the voting age!
		How about that?
		J.W.
		Dickinson says, pour one out for Hero, Paul Hardware's Twitter handle dog, that he and his wife rescued long ago was finally let go.
unidentified		Oh.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Freeman Dye Free says, the two-way community doesn't properly address the Commerce Clause.
		It wasn't intended to give broad federal regulatory power, and led to the birth of the ATF.
		Hold on, that sucks.
		Balian says, Tim, I live, I live in Alaska and we use 5.56 to hunt Black Bear, bro.
		That's right.
		I'm not saying that people don't use 5.56 or 9mm to hunt.
		I'm just saying you have hunting rounds for bigger game.
		And when the left tries making that argument, they don't know what they're talking about.
		Michael Bass says, hello from Auburn, Washington.
		I listen to both Brandy and Dory Monson daily, which keeps me sane in this state full of crazy.
unidentified		Happy to help.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you know who Dory is?
unidentified		Yeah, he's a good friend of mine.
unidentified		He's a conservative radio host in Seattle, and sometimes I fill in for him.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you also know Jason Rantz?
unidentified		He's up there, right?
		I do, yeah.
		Jason's a dear friend of mine.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we've had him on, right?
unidentified		Yeah, we have.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he's great.
		I like reading his articles.
		Ethan Reed says... I think it's Reed.
		Does the FN SCAR-20S you speak of not have a folding stock?
		I think with a folding stock it would be illegal, but you can own an... own a... what is it?
		IWI TD-12 rotating mags on shotguns are supposed to be on that list.
		Look at it on MSP license port.
		I live in West Virginia, good sir!
		I don't live in... I don't live in Maryland, so I don't got to worry about any of that stuff.
		What does it say?
		back bald oh says wait until you guys find out about pistol braces versus stocks yes well i know all about them joe biden was recently trying to make those uh regulated under the nfa the idea is there are pistols that have braces that you can put on your forearm so when you're holding it it's easier to shoot but some people and they shouldn't do this put it up against their shoulders like like it's a stock as if they're using a short barreled rifle that's a no no maneuver you can't do that I don't know how that works, though.
		Is that illegal to just do the maneuver?
		Like putting a brace into your shoulder?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		It's all kind of arbitrary in how they want to enforce it.
		So it's all up to the federal bureaucracy.
		That is so well and efficient.
		Said no one ever.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Waffle Sensei says, remember when conservatives used to say, if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about?
		How the F did that work out?
		Now the machine is built to turn on its own citizenry.
		Yeah, well, you know.
		You gotta pay attention, I suppose.
		How do we pronounce this one?
		Yeah, they work for that, right?
		450 and 458 fit into 556?
		I'm in Washington State.
		I decided to get a 458 SOCOM, and now I can put 10 rounds in all of my 3556 mags.
		Yeah, they work for that, right?
		450, 458 fit in 556?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		We have to look that up.
unidentified		You don't know? I don't know.
		I don't know.
		What do we got here?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ethan Reed says, I meant IWI TS-12 not on the list when looked last.
		Interesting.
		Well, I don't care for Maryland anyway, so.
		Sarah Hunter says, if only we had more laws against rape, we would never see another assault ever again.
		Ban ramp.
		Ban rape.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Why have we not banned that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What the heck?
		And murder.
		Murder should be illegal.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But for some reason, people keep doing it.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		They see these people violate all these laws to commit a mass atrocity, and they go, do we need more laws?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Flutz Q says, So an assault weapon is an item used or designed to cause physical damage, physical trauma, which is used to cause physical damage, bodily trauma.
		So it does mean something so long as you are illiterate.
		Assault doesn't mean anything.
		It's completely meaningless term.
		They're like, it's a weapon of war.
		Whatever, dude.
		Yeah, it's funny because it's like, what, what do you think these weapons were for?
		Like, of course they're used for hurting people.
		Sunday brunch?
		Sunday, yeah, just to, to, you, you fire at the pan or something.
unidentified		I don't know.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		No idea.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When you're, when you're cooking dinner.
		Pirate Taurus Sakonath says, I have a friend that was born with one arm.
		He uses a semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun.
		He delivers pizza with a manual transmission car too.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, you could do it.
unidentified		Sounds like an interesting guy.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Christopher says Luke is going to be the new Alex Jones in 15 years.
unidentified		Oh Lord.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		I mean, we're talking 15 years.
		He'll be the old Alex Jones then, right?
		New Alex Jones now though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's a compliment.
unidentified		He doesn't love it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Mike Williams says the Second Amendment doesn't grant Americans the right to keep and bear arms.
		It does acknowledge Americans have the right at birth and makes it clear the government doesn't have the right to infringe on that God-given right.
		That is true.
		It says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed because it already exists.
		It's just, I suppose if you're illiterate, you would use the, you would say, well-regulated militia, which has nothing to do with the statement, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
		It's clearly saying, yes, a well-regulated militia defends the state.
		Therefore, the right of the people to keep arms can't be infringed because the people have to be armed to form the militia.
		But I suppose too many people are illiterate or just lying.
		Texas Fox says gas prices, natural gas prices are up by over double this year.
		Heating and cooling homes will get expensive.
		Oh yeah.
		Install your solar while you can.
		Here's a funny thing.
		Like solar panels are basically a net negative, but they operate off the grid.
		So when you get solar on your house, you're utilizing more energy than you're going to get back.
		But you know, you have it for your house if the power goes out, right?
		That's how it works.
		Jeffrey Grajic says, Mexico has some of the strictest gun laws.
		Mexico has one of the highest yearly gun fatalities.
		Maxo has exactly one gun store.
		More gun laws?
		They have one gun store?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		I'm not aware of that.
unidentified		One?
unidentified		And where is it?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It's like in the middle of the desert.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It has like three guns in it.
unidentified		Wherever the cartel is.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, where did Obama set that up?
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		There's probably a line of government officials there like asking for a handout just to get to the next door.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Brian Rosensky says gas in northern Illinois is $5.55 in my area.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yo, that is insane.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		I found this great title from the LA Times.
		There is only one gun store in all of Mexico, so why is gun violence soaring?
		Such a great question.
		I wonder what conclusion they reach.
unidentified		Hmm.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Damien Masters says, JB is using the Defense Act for an electricity shortage.
		Are we having brownouts or blackouts or something?
		Gas sure is high though.
		Come August.
		There's gonna be no diesel.
		So, you know what I was saying is like, whoever manufactures electric big rigs, I imagine their stock is gonna skyrocket.
		You know what I'm thinking?
		Here's my prediction.
		August is going to come.
		Diesel is going to be through the roof, or if not, just within shortages.
		I mean, because we are, we already see some places that don't have it.
		Joe Biden's going to invoke the defense production act or something and say, we got it.
		We got to get, you know, a hundred million dollars to these, these, these companies and make the electric trucks.
		We got to get, we got to get baby formula and food on the table for, for mom and pop.
		And then he's going to sign something and then money's going to be infused into these companies and their stocks to go up.
unidentified		Well, Biden was in Seattle not too long ago and he said that he wants all military vehicles to be electric.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Great.
unidentified		So I wonder who's going to get the money on that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tesla.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Could you imagine Tesla designing these like these military rigs?
unidentified		They'd look cool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They would all look weird chrome, like they're totally visible on battlefields and provide no strategic advantage.
		But they're really good.
		I don't know those batteries.
		Would that be like what would happen if it blows up?
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Dangerous.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, these are lithium ion batteries, aren't they?
		If they get punctured, they're gonna explode.
		That would be nuts.
		Alright.
		W Falcon says, Luke and Shim, Peak, Timcast, keep up the good work guys.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Alright.
		I guess we kind of work well together now and again.
		I don't know.
		Maybe we could do a little less.
		I do carry the team, but we were left together for a reason.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		C. James says, check out engine number one.
		Environmental activists are taking board seats in oil companies at a time we can least afford it and dictating policy.
		And they're gloating about it on Twitter.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Let's get a bunch of vegans at the board of the meat processing plant.
seamus coughlin ▲ ● ▼		Perfect.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then they'll be like, we're going to put soy in all of the beef instead of beef.
		And then you're eating soy.
		Just a Stye says, Tim, please stop promoting green energy.
		One wind turbine uses 80 gallons of PAO synthetic oil, which is based on crude.
		And that lubricant has to be replaced once a year.
		Green energy is a lie.
		That's crazy.
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I talked to a Build-A-Burger member that's an up-and-coming politician from Europe just yesterday at the airport, and she told me, we want Europe to go fully green.
		We support a carbon tax.
		We're not going to use fossil fuels anymore.
		And I'm like, this is what you want?
		This is what you're pulling for and advocating for?
		She's like, yep.
		That's it.
		I'm like, okay.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		That's scary.
		But, you know, Biden says people should have them.
		Because they don't know what they're talking about.
		It's so weird.
		Psycho shooters don't use more shotguns the ease with which they could wipe out rooms and hallways full of victims and
		responders without training optics or even aiming
		Yeah That's that's that's scary. But you know Biden says people
		should have them because they don't know they're talking about. It's so weird. Yeah
		Sleeping earthling says how good the country was doing under Trump and Luke
luke rudkowski ▲ ● ▼		Really well compared to a lot of other places.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		AmericanGunChick says, handgun rounds are horrible fight stoppers.
		Perps walk through handgun bolts like nothing.
		Ask a rapper.
		Even heart shots have 10 to 30 seconds to continue hurting folks.
		Under 10 rounds is effing stupid.
		So then what would you want?
		Would you want like...
		Buckshot or something?
		Like if you're in your house.
unidentified		And you can't have more than 10 rounds?
unidentified		No, no, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm saying if you're in your house and you're like a Glock 17 9mm frangible hollow point or something.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If someone's going to be able to move through them and still cause damage, like what would instantly stop them?
unidentified		I feel like Buckshot would be good only because, especially if you're dark, you have a better chance of hitting them.
		Yeah.
		If it's in the dark.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We'll have to ask an expert.
		Someone who is properly trained on close quarters combat.
		Home defense.
		Josh Branson says, cast, Kamala will have to run against a gay trans furry woman in the DNC party.
		Eventually.
		But I mean, seriously, because no one wants to, you know, we just saw that Dallas Drag Kids show, where they were grooming children, and Shoe-on-Head was like, leftists, stop being scared To call this out because you're worried about being called a reactionary.
		But they defended it and they like yelled at you on ahead about it and they were like, nothing's wrong here.
		But maybe we'll talk about in the after show because that stuff is not family friendly.
		Bonker says, 1000 AR rounds weighs almost 27 pounds.
		Not an easy thing to be running through a field to a school carrying when he was a scrawny high schooler.
		1600 weighs almost 50 pounds.
		Yeah, we got one of those those cases with 1000 rounds in it all in the plastic.
		That's hefty stuff.
		Matthew Waddle says, Tim, which is it?
		The road to hell being paved by good intentions or Hanlon's razor?
		Could be both.
		Incompetent people with good intentions do really horrible things.
lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		It's a deadly combination.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And malicious people with good intentions.
		Like, I suppose it's paradoxical, but you could people who just genuinely want to cause pain to others, but think that what they're doing will ultimately be good.
		Crazy.
		All right.
		Falcon Laser says, Brandy, what does the average Seattle voter think of the documentary Seattle is Dying?
		How many are actually happy with the condition of the city?
unidentified		Well, Seattle is Dying was done by Como News, which is the ABC affiliate.
		I thought it was really good.
		Of course, the progressive crowd thought it was exploiting the homeless and was cruel.
		So I would say the average Seattle crowd looked down on Seattle is Dying as like a piece of Right-wing propaganda because Como is owned by Sinclair.
		But I do think there's a tide turning.
		The city has gotten so bad with homelessness, with crime, with drugs, with mental health issues that you're starting to see maybe a little more political will.
		I know our new mayor has taken a different tune.
		So it's promising.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So let's see, people are talking about the AI stuff.
		That was good fun.

lydia smith ▲ ● ▼		Terrifying.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But, uh, good fun.
		One Evil Chef says, Tim, Tesla did make an electric semi-tractor.
		Fact check it.

unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe, maybe it's a good idea.
unidentified		I don't know.

unidentified		Maybe.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dungisfun says, if they raise the legal age to use a rifle to 21, that means anybody under the age of 18 cannot use the rifle in the military.
		How does that make sense?
		They will let you use it while you're in the military, but not when you leave.
		There you go.
		David Sanchez says, for your gun doc, you should talk to U.S.
		historian David Barton.
		He's very informative and would be a great guest on here.
		Shim would love him.
		Love y'all.
		We will check that out.
		Ethan Lurker says, Tim, the agency that collects on us individuals is the FBI.
		If someone in the NSA collects on anyone inside the U.S., it will lead to them being imprisoned.
		The document USSID SP0018 outlines what NSA can collect on and how they are processed.
		Interesting.
		What is this?

		Little Little's Pressure Washing says, Hey Tim, since starting my pressure washing channel on YouTube, I'm noticing similar channels who have bought fake subs and views.
