Now, enjoy the show.
So Elon Musk is apparently hiring a new CEO, and guess what?
It's a World Economic Forum chair.
Reclaim the Net says likely new Twitter CEO Linda Iaccarino is a World Economic Forum executive chair that suggested Elon Musk limit his tweets.
Iaccarino said advertisers need to feel there's an opportunity for them to influence what you're building.
Okay.
Why is he hiring this woman?
Is this it?
Have we been had?
Is Elon Musk working for the World Economic Forum, Seamus?
Are you working for the World Economic Forum?
seamus coughlin
Well, I'll put it this way.
There are no records.
I'm not free to answer that question right now.
tim pool
I don't know.
I guess nobody cares.
seamus coughlin
I don't know, man.
Well, I've said this before.
I have no idea.
Look, I have said this before.
I'll say it again.
I have always considered myself cautiously optimistic about Musk.
I think he's done some good things.
I certainly don't believe that he can do no wrong.
I don't know what's happening here.
phil labonte
I don't think that this changes Anything that he's said, I don't know this person and I don't know anything about this person beyond what we're going to read on the internet.
I don't know what any kind of private conversations have been like.
I don't know what he's telling anyone that he's entertaining the idea of being CEO, what he expects or anything.
I don't know how much autonomy he's going to give to them.
I don't know what it would be like if they walk in there knowing that he just canned everybody less than a year ago.
I can imagine that they wouldn't feel like they can just go in and do whatever they want.
No one that's going in there is going to go in blind to the conditions or the context that they're walking into.
And no one's going to go in there thinking, well, Elon had his fun, but now I'm here to show... I don't imagine that that's going to happen.
I would, at the very least, give them the chance to see what happens before I start getting doom and gloom.
But being apprehensive and being skeptical, there's nothing wrong with that at all.
tim pool
I didn't hire her yet, right?
The reporting is just that she's in talks to become Twitter's CEO.
seamus coughlin
Yeah.
tim pool
But I think Elon said he did get a new CEO and she, he referenced it.
So I'm kind of thinking like, there you go, everybody.
You know, maybe Steve Bannon was right about Elon Musk.
unidentified
And how much is she making compared to the male CEO that they had?
tim pool
Probably less.
phil labonte
Half.
auron macintyre
Well, the timing is really interesting because you just had Tucker announce that he's going to be putting his show on here.
You already have people like Matt Walsh who are moving to Twitter because of the YouTube deplatforming.
And so you're in a situation where a lot of people are looking for Twitter to be kind of this new free speech platform that they can take things off of the mainstream and all of a sudden you've got a new CEO, might be connected to certain things.
You saw a scene in Complaining about the fact that no one would be able to police Tucker Carlson's speech and then all of a sudden here we go, right?
So you're not putting the tinfoil hat on but it does seem like interesting timing.
phil labonte
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a little on the skeptical side.
I think that that's the smart thing to do, considering the world that we live in now.
But at the same time, the guy paid $44 billion so he could save free speech, allegedly.
tim pool
I don't think it was to save free speech.
He turned it into X Corporation already.
It's because he wants to make American WeChat, and that centralizes authority in a lot of ways.
seamus coughlin
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, like I said, cautiously optimistic.
I think he's done a lot of good things for Twitter, and I think him being in charge of Twitter for the time he has been has been good for the discourse, but that doesn't mean he can do no wrong, and that doesn't mean his motives were always pure, right?
tim pool
You can be an ultra-conspiracist, right?
So, like, let's talk about Bitcoin.
Bitcoin, I think, is awesome.
It allows you to escape the government's value system.
It's not perfect, but it gives you an option, and that's why a lot of people adopted it.
But think about this, it also tracks everything you do and gives them a window into all your transactions if you don't know what you're doing.
So I've argued to a lot of the Bitcoin people, if I was a globalist and I was like, how can I get everybody to use a one-world currency?
The average person doesn't care, but the Alex Joneses of the world are gonna resist like crazy.
I gotta get them first.
Convince them this is the resistance, controlled opposition.
And then what happens?
It was the libertarian anti-government people who are adopting Bitcoin like crazy.
Now you have this global decentralized value system.
So think about Twitter.
Elon Musk is like, look, let's just say hypothetically, if I'm a globalist CEO and we're all meeting at the World Economic Forum and we're like, these anti-government libertarian types are resisting our global takeover.
What can we do?
Here's an idea.
Give them Twitter.
Give them Twitter, who cares?
Once they're all dedicated to it, once they believe in it, and they're on it, we convince them they're winning, then we start shifting in the direction we want with them on board already and they're convinced they've won, when actually, they're pushing our machine.
So listen.
Twitter goes, free speech.
Tucker joins Twitter.
Everyone on the right's like, woo, free speech!
And Tucker's like, and the last place for free speech.
And then what happens?
It becomes American WeChat.
You wanna get into the office building?
Vax mandate, you gotta use X app.
unidentified
Boop!
tim pool
You wanna buy something?
X app.
unidentified
Boop!
tim pool
You wanna send a message?
X app.
unidentified
Boop!
tim pool
Everything will be on this one platform, that's what Elon's building.
seamus coughlin
You need to start Timmer.
phil labonte
Tim's just fucking shoehorning black pills down your throat tonight.
tim pool
I'm just telling people to be critical thinkers, is all I'm telling them, you know what I mean?
seamus coughlin
Tim, you just put a black pill into, like, a little dart gun, and then you just went, and hit it in everybody's throats.
phil labonte
Because hypothetically so say you're right think about like what the ramifications are that means that the people that believe that this guy was you know helping and all of the things that he's done have been basically subversive and he's On the team of the, you know, the Klaus Schwab's of the world and stuff.
And then we, then if that is the case.
tim pool
He's tweeted about all of this though.
He's got a whole bunch of tweets about climate change and all that stuff.
phil labonte
Yes, but the, the, that is true, but the connection to the whole, like, he's going to make the WeChat thing so that way you have to have the, the Vax Passport, et cetera, connecting.
His property to the state is different, or puts it in a different light.
tim pool
It won't be the state, though.
It'll be the global empire.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, that's essentially the state.
tim pool
The corporation.
phil labonte
That's essentially the state, though.
As far as I'm concerned, that's the future state.
tim pool
It'll be the big, gigantic... I think the future will be the corporation.
phil labonte
Well, it'll be the NGO, the W-E-F.
tim pool
I don't think so.
No, I think it'll be the corporation.
You have no rights in a corporation.
If you choose to enter a corporation, it's an authoritarian system.
The boss is the boss.
That's it.
End of story.
He can kick you out, he can take away anything, no questions asked.
He can have you removed by physical security.
seamus coughlin
He is threatening you, by the way, Phil.
phil labonte
He's letting you know.
tim pool
Well, Phil doesn't actually work for me, so... Oh.
seamus coughlin
Surge, he's threatening you.
tim pool
And neither does Seamus.
My powers here are limited.
But yeah, I think in the future it's going to be a corporation like Axe or Facebook or Amazon.
And they're going to say something like, look at what Lance was saying about the vaccine mandate.
He said the government shouldn't force anybody to get vaccinated.
However, the government should force you to have to have the vaccine to do literally anything.
What's the difference?
phil labonte
The technological gulag won't be in an actual prison.
They'll just give you the incentive to make your life super easy and convenient.
And if you decide not to, they'll just shut you out of everything.
tim pool
That's fine.
No one's forcing you to get the app.
It's just that Amazon is the only app we use for admission into this building.
And Amazon banned you because you said naughty words.
auron macintyre
Yeah, we're ruled by foxes, not lions.
These people aren't really comfortable with physical power or actual like martial force.
And so they figured out the best way to control people is just this constant nudge, this psychological programming, social engineering.
And so that's absolutely where they're going to continue to try to push things.
Only thing is that at some point that kind of breaks down.
You can only manipulate humans to a certain level and systematize them to a certain level.
And then like natural things like families break down.
tim pool
You know, it's funny.
You guys ever see that South Park episode where the people come from the future?
seamus coughlin
Yes, yes.
tim pool
And so basically the premise is in the future, life is shit and everybody wants to leave the future and go to the past because it's better.
And so then they decide... They're immigrants.
They're what?
serge du preez
They're Thai immigrants.
tim pool
Yeah, Thai immigrants.
So all the men decide to stop this.
They'll get together and be gay and have gay orgies and it makes the future people start disappearing or whatever.
No, no, they're like, let's clean the earth up and make the future better.
So that way The future people won't need to come back here.
And then that works and the future people start disappearing.
And then all of a sudden Stan just stops and he's like, wait a minute.
This is gay.
And then a guy's like, it is!
Back to the orgy, everybody!
And then all the guys start having sex again.
But the funny thing is, that seems to be their plan to stop the future from becoming, like, we're literally an episode of South Park.
The World Economic Forum The Davos group, Bill Gates, are concerned about overpopulation leading to an impoverished, decrepit future, so they're literally telling everybody to have gay orgies.
serge du preez
Right.
Yeah, it's the Goobax episode, by the way, if anyone's looking it up.
seamus coughlin
Did you ever see, there was a legendary, when you were talking about the kind of tech gulags that remind me of this, did you ever see the old Onion video?
It's a fake news report about them unrolling Google's new privacy program, and if you enroll to have privacy from Google, they like put you in a camp where no one can watch you, but you also can't leave.
It's like, yes, Google's, oh man, it was beautiful.
Should I play it?
Yeah, yeah.
It's been years since I saw it, but this cracked me up when I...

♪♪ Concerned about your privacy while using Google?
The internet giant says it understands.
Google is now offering users a chance to opt out and live in privacy in a remote mountain village.
Thanks, Teresa.
They call it the Opt Out Village, and it's just what you'd expect from Google.

seamus coughlin
Wow. So accurate. So anytime anyone says they're a private company
they can do whatever they want or oh this is just a private protocol that's that's exactly where my mind goes.
tim pool
Man, they used to be so funny.
The Grabblers bit is, like, the best bit they've ever done.
seamus coughlin
They had so—well, back then, their livelihood wasn't dependent upon being anodyne.
And now it is.
I mean, go to the Onion website right now, man.
It's really bad.
Chris and I were scrolling through it this past weekend, and then you and I were scrolling through it, and it was really... Trump condemned for giving a platform to CNN.
unidentified
That's kind of funny.
seamus coughlin
That one's actually decent.
I'll give him that one.
phil labonte
I can't believe that they were allowed to run it, though.
auron macintyre
Yeah, exactly.
seamus coughlin
If you scroll through most of the headlines, we were doing it this past weekend, and it was really, really bad.
It was really bad.
tim pool
High school student teacher apply for same summer waitressing job.
seamus coughlin
Here, I took a screenshot from a couple of the ones that were really egregious this past weekend when I was looking through them because I could not believe that they put them on the website.
tim pool
Here's a good one.
Woman worried boyfriend cheating after noticing he picked up a healthy habit.
unidentified
I was like, okay.
seamus coughlin
Um, this is, so this is one of their, these are one of their, they did an article on DeSantis where they were writing their jokes and then his funny answers.
Let me read you some of the funny joke they wrote.
Question.
You've signed legislation to stop schools from becoming woke.
Can you define woke for us in this context?
And then Ron DeSantis's answer is, oh, that's easy.
Simply put, I'd like to eliminate the lesser races.
Why did you fight so hard to enact a six-week abortion ban in Florida?
I missed all the power I had to slowly kill people through bodily torture in Guantanamo.
It's like, I don't even understand what the joke is supposed to be.
That was bad.
Yeah, yeah.
No, it's awful.
tim pool
These aren't even jokes.
None of them are jokes.
seamus coughlin
That's what I'm saying.
auron macintyre
Did you just pick one about ICE agents and human rights violations?
tim pool
Yeah, it says... Can you show me?
ICE agent stays late to catch up on human rights violations.
seamus coughlin
It's funny because we don't like ICE.
tim pool
What's the joke?
Because they do... Like, how come we're better at making fun of ourselves?
seamus coughlin
That's the point.
Conservatives do a way better job making fun of like Trump and other conservatives than anyone on the left does.
phil labonte
Because the left thinks that all the things that are funny about them are actually like they're too sanctimonious about not to try and you know make jokes about Trump or anything but like the whole if To be funny, you have to be able to laugh at yourself.
And the left takes all of the things that are funny about them, they take them so seriously that they can't laugh at themselves.
auron macintyre
Once you've kind of defined the world in terms where everyone has to pretend that a man can become a woman, absurdity is kind of out the door.
It's tough, yeah.
What's really left at that point?
phil labonte
Suck that girl's dick!
seamus coughlin
That's the thing, they are the joke, right?
The right has one joke, you guys.
tim pool
I think that proves that Lance actually is gay.
Because, you know, I guess he was claiming he was non-binary or something.
serge du preez
While married.
To a woman.
tim pool
Yeah, but he also said he liked sucking dick.
seamus coughlin
He didn't say that, but he said it's not gay too.
unidentified
Oh, I get it.
tim pool
He says he is gay.
That means he doesn't want to suck a trans woman's dick.
seamus coughlin
I don't know what the terms mean anymore.
auron macintyre
I need a flowchart.
seamus coughlin
Someone needs to explain this to me.
It's gonna be different next week.
tim pool
They can explain!
That's the point!
phil labonte
The only thing he was trying to do is make sure that he said the right answer that wouldn't get him shit on the leftist mafia show that he was gonna be on.
tim pool
I loved it when he said trans women are females.
Like, what are you talking about?
They're not trans.
Like, so you think a six foot tall person with big biceps, a penis, and testicles is a female?
Well, what's your criteria?
His criteria was a female is a person who looks like a female.
seamus coughlin
Well, and this is what I said to him, but I'm not even trying to make this about him.
This is just a point that people on the left make generally about the bathroom issue, which, why that's an issue, I don't know.
But they'll say, you know, most of the people who go into these bathrooms and commit crimes against women are cis men.
It's like, okay.
How do you tell the difference between a trans woman and a cis man?
Can you please?
Can you?
When you have an answer to that question, then that can be a talking point that you get to use.
But you can't.
You can't identify them.
You can't tell me that that's actually a cis man and not a trans woman.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
serge du preez
They're the same, right?
seamus coughlin
Yep.
auron macintyre
There's this weird thing where you simultaneously have to be aware of every piece of identity and everything that's implied by it, but you also are not allowed to publicly notice identity and the things that make it different.
phil labonte
A lot of things you're not allowed to notice.
auron macintyre
No, but again, simultaneously you have to hold both in your hand.
tim pool
I pulled up the Babylon Bee and That was a good one!
unidentified
That's so good.
seamus coughlin
I don't get it.
tim pool
How is the onion so bad?
Look, that's her actual face.
Jedi attempt on her life has left her scarred and dry.
That was a good one!
serge du preez
That's so good.
tim pool
I don't get it.
How is the onion so bad?
Look, that's her actual face.
seamus coughlin
I want to see some of these other ones.
Parents at piano recital perk up as Asian kid takes stage.
Man, Twitter snooze.
Alright, that's pretty good.
unidentified
That's actually really... That's really pretty good.
Twitter's new female CEO expands tweet limit to one million characters.
That's hilarious.
That's really... That's a good one.
seamus coughlin
Not every one of these is a gut buster either, but the ratio's way better.
tim pool
Elon Musk saves 22% on Twitter executive salaries by hiring female CEOs.
auron macintyre
Sheamus is ahead of the curve on that, Jeff.
seamus coughlin
Yeah, I know, I beat him on that.
Well, this is the thing, right?
So, when you even look at old Onion headlines, every now and again you have some that aren't hysterical, like some aren't funny, but they're mostly funny.
tim pool
To save money on bombs, Air Force will now drop morbidly obese airmen on anime.
seamus coughlin
If just for the image.
Right.
It's good.
Border wall cover with Bud Light.
serge du preez
To deter migrants, let's say.
tim pool
I mean, like, some of them are kind of like, man, you know what I mean?
seamus coughlin
That's what I'm saying.
Even when The Onion was at its peak, there were some headlines here and there that weren't great.
I think, hold on, go up.
This is a very good headline, the David French one.
unidentified
This one?
seamus coughlin
I thank you that I'm not like the other white evangelicals.
auron macintyre
It's literally just every David French.
seamus coughlin
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
auron macintyre
No one hates white evangelicals more than David French.
phil labonte
What a piece of shit he is.
auron macintyre
Yeah, it's really hard to be right.
seamus coughlin
Good biblical reference, good David French joke, you know, it's perfect.
serge du preez
Slave one to Uyghur slave one.
It's pretty good.
tim pool
Kevin Newsome takes dip in Pacific Ocean causing massive oil slick.
Yeah, he is, he is greasy.
That is true.
Yeah, some of them are meh.
seamus coughlin
Yeah, no, exactly.
tim pool
But it's okay.
A lot of them are pretty good.
seamus coughlin
But you'd expect that the onions ratio is way worse.
tim pool
FBI hires, this is an old one, top rated Italian bodyguard, Luigi Clintonelli to protect Ghislaine Maxwell.
unidentified
Luigi.
tim pool
Anyway, yeah, Babylon Bee's funnier.
You guys were talking about something?
I can't remember.
seamus coughlin
Uh, we were talking about the Googlegs.
We were talking about the fact that people will try to make the argument that it's a private company so they can do whatever they want and that they will literally cheer for their own enslavement as long as it's a private... To be fair, they will.
They'll cheer for your enslavement as long as it's a private company, but they'll cheer for Dude, if you give people VR porn, they will do anything you ask.
I know.
This is the thing.
By the way, I said I know as if I've done this to somebody.
I was like, listen, it works.
But this is how they placate people.
And so this is one of my fears about AI and the fact that it can generate these images so quickly and efficiently.
When you look at how effective porn is as a tool for social control and the fact that you can make people completely complacent in a way that nobody could in the past with mere bread and circuses, Then you add this additional level of someone being able to literally instantaneously generate any sexually perverted image that they want that would go beyond even the wildest nightmares of your most disgusting pornographer, you realize, oh, this is something that's going to keep people indoors, right?
This is something that's going to keep people complacent.
This is something that's going to keep people obedient on a scale that we have never before seen.
phil labonte
We were talking today on PCC about AI girlfriends and how possible it was.
I really think that low-effort people will take that placebo really, really, really quick.
seamus coughlin
Oh yeah.
phil labonte
because right now with pornography the way that it is, I think if you can essentially merge pornography
with an AI is essentially what they're working on, that's gonna be the first thing that really comes out.
seamus coughlin
They already have though, right?
These AI image generators can make porn, they do.
phil labonte
They can, but it's not interactive the way that it's going to be.
And honestly, only a year or two, this technology is coming faster than you can handle it.
And as soon as that is available, you're gonna see a massive amount of young men
drop out of society just because they don't wanna put the effort in.
The reward is not really all that sweet to them.
They're like, you know, if the marriage doesn't work out, blah, blah, blah.
There's so many kids that don't have any religion at all to direct them to producing children and a family and stuff.
You're going to see a massive amount of men jump right into the matrix.
seamus coughlin
Yep, so this is going to introduce a new interesting problem too.
I've said this before when it comes to OnlyFans and it comes to these women who say they're sex positive because they're participating in their own debasement.
What they'll do is they'll rail against these social standards.
But in reality the only reason they're able to make a living is because we have some social guardrails that are still just barely there so that not all women are doing OnlyFans.
Not what this AI porn is going to do.
It's going to make that totally obsolete.
I think some men will still go to OnlyFans because they'll want to feel like they have some kind of relationship with a real human woman, but... The AI is going to drive a lot of these, you know, quote-unquote self-employed pornographers out of work.
phil labonte
Have you ever heard of vocal distance?
seamus coughlin
Yeah, I've heard of it.
phil labonte
Have you ever heard his talk about the strawberry?
No.
We live in a post-modern society, right?
You have a strawberry, and if you eat the strawberry, it tastes like a strawberry.
Well, then you take the strawberry, and you add some sugar to it, and then you make it into a candy.
Then you take the candy, and you put it into a drink, and you put some caffeine into it.
Essentially, what happens is, the strawberry stops resembling the strawberry, and you get this This hyper-real version of a strawberry, and people select the strawberry because it's purely concentrated to perform the function that nature had evolved for a long time to do.
It is basically just putting evolution onto a fast track.
And that same thing is gonna happen with AI, and it's gonna do to the nerve centers in your brain that emotion normally does provide, it's going to do it in a way that human contact cannot replicate.
It's going to be the perfected relationship.
And that's why people are going to go into the Matrix, and they're going to stay in there.
seamus coughlin
Except there's one difference.
What I can't give you is legitimate sacrifice.
I can't demand sacrifice of you.
tim pool
I gotta read this meme that You might not like Seamus, but I gotta read it because I do have questions.
unidentified
Alright?
tim pool
So, this is a very viral old tweet.
It says, it's Catholic canon that in the Garden of Gethsemane, is that how you pronounce it?
seamus coughlin
Gethsemane.
tim pool
Gethsemane?
auron macintyre
Yeah, Gethsemane.
tim pool
Gethsemane.
Jesus Christ saw every sin committed by human beings, which means that he watched a guy blasting rope to Waluigi Hentai and still decided to sacrifice himself for humanity.
Absolute legend.
seamus coughlin
I've heard that joke.
unidentified
Blasting rope!
tim pool
But is it true that he saw every sin committed by man?
seamus coughlin
I believe so but don't quote me on that.
tim pool
The reason I brought it up is because Outside of the religious component, like, it is true, there is some dude, probably somewhere right now, cranking it to pictures of Waluigi.
unidentified
Yeah.
seamus coughlin
And, like, the AI, someone's gonna come to him- Well, because, I mean- Someone's gonna come to him and be like- I mean, God knows everything.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Someone's gonna come to him and they're gonna be like, here's the metaverse helmet, with adult mode activated, and they're gonna be like, yeah, you can say whatever you wanna say and they'll AI generate it for you.
And if you say hate speech, we'll take it away.
That person will do whatever, and they're gonna put that thing on and be like, Waluigi.
We're gonna go off.
auron macintyre
I mean, he said no more flood, but fire is still an option.
phil labonte
I mean, and it's also kind of inevitable because we're gonna get hit by a meteor eventually.
tim pool
Let's go to callers.
Let's bring them in.
Let's bring them in to these horrible conversations.
serge du preez
Yeah, join us for all the fun.
tim pool
Fire is still an option.
serge du preez
Aqueduct Studio, what's good?
unidentified
Hey, what's up, guys?
Thanks for taking my call.
My question's open to everyone.
Should we reward corporations like CNN when they do platform the right?
tim pool
Yes.
unidentified
If yes, how?
And in a larger sense, why are corporations going out of their way to hate the right?
tim pool
I don't know about the last one.
The first one I say, yes, I'm gonna buy ads for Timcast on CNN.
phil labonte
God, that's the best.
I really hope you're serious.
tim pool
I am.
Because then they'll never say any bad thing about us ever again.
Because we're an advertiser.
They're gonna be like, no.
phil labonte
Dude, you should see if Media Matters advertises too.
tim pool
But this is the plan, like, I'm gonna advertise on the New York Times, Politico, and CNN, and they will never say a bad word.
I'll go to the editor, the editor's gonna be like, oh, it's that far-right guy, let's pass it through legal, and they'll be like, this guy actually gives us a lot of money to advertise for him, he's not far-right, like, we want his money, don't say that about him.
phil labonte
I love it.
tim pool
That's how the game works.
And so because we're in a separate ecosystem, they don't care to smear us.
But if we're running ads on CNN, two things will happen.
They'll have to say we're not far right because we're on their network as a commercial.
They'll have to be like, no, no, no, we don't sponsor the far right or take money from them.
And then they're gonna want the money.
So they're gonna try and protect the work we do because like, hey, these guys pay us.
You know what I mean?
And CNN is super cheap.
It's like five grand per ad.
Fox News is like 12 grand.
Wow.
Yeah, CNN is relatively cheap.
phil labonte
Wow.
serge du preez
Wonder why.
tim pool
So I'll look into it.
I'm looking into it.
I'm going to talk to the marketing team here and see if we can put together a 30 second commercial for Timcast IRL.
I don't even know if we need 30 seconds, to be honest.
You know, maybe it'll do like a two 15 minute segment, two 15 second commercials.
One for Timcast, one for Pop Culture Crisis.
serge du preez
That'd be cool.
phil labonte
You're going to run them on CNN or on their website?
tim pool
On the TV channel.
phil labonte
That's great.
tim pool
Yeah.
Maybe the website.
We'll see.
But I think the TV channel.
serge du preez
Yeah.
tim pool
What do you guys think?
phil labonte
I think it's hilarious.
serge du preez
I think do it.
I wonder if it's different rates.
tim pool
We want to win.
Yeah.
So when they do something we like, we say thank you.
That was really great.
And their ratings go up and that's what CNN is going to say.
Hey, we had 3.3 million in the ratings and we're getting heavily praised by these people who watched.
Screw the left.
They don't watch and they hate us.
That's what we want to see.
auron macintyre
I don't think that's the incentive structure here.
I think that the best thing you can do is make these people as illegitimate and irrelevant as possible, as quickly as possible.
I think that's the best move, though.
I do understand getting a little shielding by putting some hats on.
tim pool
But that's like saying, to win the war, we have to turn their country to glass.
Instead of, we should infiltrate and take over their infrastructure.
auron macintyre
Oh no, we should glass them.
serge du preez
I disagree.
auron macintyre
I think the best thing you can do is what the Chinese are trying to do with TikTok.
Take that metaphor right to where it needs to be.
Like, yeah, that's absolutely how it should be.
The only, these people have total control over the system.
And the best thing you can do is make the system as irrelevant as possible.
tim pool
I disagree.
I think the best thing you can do is what the Chinese are trying to do this with TikTok.
You infiltrate, destroy and rebuild, and then you own their infrastructure.
And then you're, so it's like, if you ever played civilization, you play civilization.
auron macintyre
Sure.
tim pool
I mean, you know, are you better off wiping out the country and sending wave after wave of nuclear bomb and bombers or just sending in one spy doing a nuke and then walking in and owning that city?
auron macintyre
And I totally hear what you're saying.
That makes perfect sense because we watched the long march of the institutions, right?
And we're like, look what the left left was able to do. They walked right into all these
institutions, they took them over by subverting them, we can just do that same
thing. The problem is I think the right is fundamentally different from the left.
The right has to build, the left naturally subverts. And so the left,
because it is naturally entropic, because it naturally breaks down civilization...
tim pool
But now the right has traditional liberals on their side who are familiar with
these tactics and that's one of the reasons I think the right is starting to
win.
Like, you go to TPUSA, there's still stodgy suit-wearing dudes, but they're starting to incorporate people like me or Ian, which is better for culture building.
They're starting to get more regular people who are considered cool in the traditional sense, who make good art.
That's the path to victory for them.
auron macintyre
So I'll give you that.
Like, it's absolutely important that you have the cultural cachet and you have the creatives and the ability to build that.
But I'm just saying, I think that parallel institutions, parallel culture is better than trying to step in and subvert.
Because again, I think that the left just has a natural, uh, the natural entropic principle as where the right is better at creating its own thing, creating something new rather than trying to just eat the other thing from the inside out.
tim pool
You know what I'll do first?
We'll do cast brew coffee commercials on CNN.
seamus coughlin
Oh my gosh.
tim pool
Because what'll happen is they're gonna be like... It's a coffee company.
There's nothing to complain about.
But then if they shit-talk me, I call up the ad guy and I say, hey, why are you talking shit about me?
I buy ads with you guys.
And they're gonna be like, uh... We'll go talk to them.
And then the ad guy's gonna be like, yo, you're fucking shitting on one of our advertisers!
This is his coffee company.
It's paying for the show.
What the fuck are you doing?
phil labonte
All right, I think I like, I get what you're saying about destroy them, but man, I love clowning them.
I really love clowning them.
auron macintyre
Oh no, that's part of the strategy.
Again, like in order to discredit them, you must humiliate them.
They must lose all cachet.
They must lose all creativity.
They're doing that to themselves anyway.
They're going to lose all that coolness on their own.
But on top of that, you just need to not give them, like you don't want to go on their platforms because going on their platforms gives them You know, some level of legitimacy.
I feel like I have to go on CNN because otherwise I'm not legitimate until I'm on there.
Well, wait, we just make CNN a joke.
It's like Bud Light, right?
Having that makes you uncool, makes you ridiculous.
Like, oh, you're that guy?
You're the CNN guy?
tim pool
Yeah, but the argument is Trump shouldn't have gone on CNN when in fact him going on has damaged the left to an extreme degree.
seamus coughlin
Well, but you were making, but to be fair, Aron did say earlier, you go on there to humiliate them.
auron macintyre
Right, that's the only reason to interact with them is to humiliate them, not to genuflect to them, not to give them any kind of credibility.
Oh, thank you for having me on here.
That's what makes me important.
No, the only reason I'm here is so I can make fun of you.
phil labonte
I think that buying the ad time is humiliating them.
I think it's making them unfair.
tim pool
I think the Trump move puts them in a position where they have to make a choice very soon.
3.3 million viewers, they like Trump.
Or side with the crackpots who don't watch the network.
CNN's eventually gonna be like, look man, the Trump supporters watch.
They love it when we do this.
They praised us for it and we made a fuck ton of money.
We're gonna, like, we want Anheuser-Busch to apologize.
We don't want them to cease functioning.
We want them to come out and say we're sorry.
That's what they won't do.
I want CNN to come out and declare in the culture war, we like these guys better because we make money with them.
seamus coughlin
Counterpoint.
CNN loves the devil too much.
auron macintyre
I want Anheuser-Busch to fail.
tim pool
But that's not going to happen.
1% sale decline.
1% globally.
24% nationally.
What we win with is a cultural victory where we force advertisers to fall in line.
With HSBC downgrading them, it's a cultural victory.
You're never going to shut down Anheuser-Busch.
You're never going to shut down CNN because CNN is not profitable to begin with.
CNN has been losing money for a decade, two decades, but these brands, they don't want to give up the brand.
So like AT&T, Time Warner sells it, Turnerhead sells it to Time Warner, sells it to AT&T or whatever, they're never giving it up.
What you can do is force them in the direction where they get the best possible reaction and the most influence.
auron macintyre
So the only problem I have with this strategy is then how do you explain Tucker Carlson?
tim pool
What about him?
auron macintyre
He's got the highest rated show on Fox News.
He's got the highest rated show, I think, among most demographics across cable news, right?
He still gets cut loose.
tim pool
They got sued for a billion dollars and Dominion said you have to fire Tucker Carlson.
They said okay, because the cost of keeping Tucker Carlson on was greater than the cost of firing.
Simple, simple equation.
CNN right now is facing the same equation.
The cost of platforming Trump is lower than the cost of being a leftist.
If you're a leftist, you get no ads.
Leftists don't buy from you.
They shit talk you no matter what you do.
If you back something into a corner, it will fight.
If you give it an exit, it will bolt in that direction.
and they buy the products and they have it's success. Give you've got a person who is doing
wrong. Give them an easy option. You know, they say if you back something into a corner,
it will fight. If you give it an exit, it will bolt in that direction. So control the direction
we want CNN to go. Fox News firetruck or Carlson because Hannity was going on being like, what's
going on with the minion?
What's going on with these voting machines?
And Tucker was actually the one saying, like, show me the proof.
Bring on Sidney Powell.
Show me the evidence.
But Dominion said, get rid of him.
And so they did.
The path was laid out before them.
Two billion dollars in damages, or a billion in damages with no Tucker Carlson.
And they said, Fox will survive.
Fox is more than Tucker.
We gotta do the same thing with CNN.
Anyway, we should go to the next caller.
serge du preez
Yep.
Appreciate the question.
tim pool
Thanks for calling in, sir.
unidentified
Thank you.
serge du preez
Of course.
Alright, let's talk to her, Dr. Dickhead.
How are you?
seamus coughlin
What's going?
What's up, Doc?
unidentified
We all would be uh, how about we start pushing to remove the qualified immunity for judges and DAs?
Start getting rid of the activists.
phil labonte
I'm not sure that getting rid of qualified immunity would get rid of the activists, but I do think that getting rid of qualified immunity, or at least taking another look at it about the conditions for qualified immunity, I think that is something that's probably important.
serge du preez
Yeah, I agree.
unidentified
Is that everything you want to say?
Yeah, I'll do it.
phil labonte
Cheers, man.
serge du preez
Cheers.
unidentified
All right.
serge du preez
Appreciate it.
That was succinct as hell.
phil labonte
That's it.
serge du preez
All right.
unidentified
We got NotHeisenBear.
serge du preez
Makes me think you are.
Yeah, I'm coming.
If you're on mute yourself, though, you might have to take yourself off mute in order to speak to us.
So, there you go.
unidentified
Okay, I'm on good.
serge du preez
Yeah.
unidentified
Thanks so much for taking my call.
Greetings from California.
Oh, hello there.
Flea.
Well, that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about, and I'd like the panel's opinion on this as well.
But Tim, you keep saying everybody should leave California or New York or wherever.
And I don't think it's like a reasonable ask to, you know, like I built my life here, you know, like I moved down to San Diego area.
I have a great house.
I have a great town.
And, you know, if I had to move out of here, I'd have to change, you know, we'd have to have two breadwinners change their careers, move my children, my family, lose all my friends that I see every day.
And then where do I go, right?
And it's not really, for me, California is still a California dream.
tim pool
Well, so do you have kids?
unidentified
I do have kids, yes.
Two kids.
They're teenagers.
tim pool
So they're probably old enough to be safe from a lot of the crazy bullshit.
I'm not saying you have to do anything.
I'm just saying like they're going to eventually show up to your house and
and you're going to see bad shit in your neighborhood and if you're prepared for that
well then that's fine you know what I mean like if I live in a house and I'm playing with
unidentified
fireworks that's my choice and then eventually a fireman portion of California is you know conservative um
and it's like the eastern part Like, you know, I'm not living, you know, I'm not living in, like, downtown LA or anything like that, that nonsense.
But the other aspect, too, is that, like, you know, cities are where the jobs are, right?
And so people have to make a decision where to make money.
And it's easy for you, where you make your living on the internet, to, you know, say everybody should just move to the country, but that's just not an option for most people.
phil labonte
I mean, that's fair, but it's not fair to say Tim shouldn't say that, or that we shouldn't have to do that.
tim pool
No, I mean, it's the economic fallacy that I see.
You know, everyone says, Tim, you're successful, therefore it's easy, as opposed to what actually happened was, you sacrificed everything and worked your ass off, and now you're able to do it.
When I left Chicago with dirt no money because it was bad, nobody ever says that.
Nobody ever says, Tim, you were homeless and you gave up everything and upended your entire life because you knew how bad the city was.
Like, that's not a part of the equation.
It's, oh, you're successful now so it's easy.
No, it was never easy.
unidentified
But then you went and you worked in New York, right?
tim pool
So I went to L.A.
and L.A.
wasn't as bad as Chicago because it's much bigger and more spread out.
Then I went to Virginia.
Then I went to New York because of Occupy Wall Street.
During Occupy Wall Street I was mostly homeless.
Basically either sleeping outside or bouncing around from place to place and using the internet to basically start generating revenue.
and I didn't have a YouTube or anything, and then by the time I started at Vice, I was so broke,
Vice had to front me money. And so I lived in New York and worked for Vice, and it wasn't that bad,
but eventually it started getting worse as the decade progressed. I ended up working for Fusion,
and I was working for Fusion when, uh, the, uh, I was in Bed-Stuy when I worked for Fusion.
I was on Myrtle and Nostrand, which is a relatively bad area by the Marcy Projects.
And a black supremacist killed two cops, so I went down to Miami for a year and lived in the Redlands, which is farmland.
Now, I had a job, and I had to drive an hour and a half every morning to get to the office in Miami, but I was like, I am not going to live in New York when they executed two cops in front of my building, and I don't want to live in this place anymore.
Went down to Miami, and I'm like, I'm not, with these problems, even Miami, I'm like, I don't want to live in these areas that are completely unsafe and you can't protect yourself.
So I opted for the farmlands, which is the Redlands, about 40 minutes southwest of Miami, about an hour and a half from where the office was, and I had to actually buy a car because I didn't have a car, so I bought a Honda Civic Hybrid for a couple grand, used, like a decade old, or at that time it was like eight years old or something, and then I worked out of there, and then when I left Fusion, I had savings, I went back up to the New York Metro, but this time I opted to be in the more suburban area, Not really.
It's like still metro in the Jersey side.
And when the bombs were planted in Manhattan and New Jersey, uh, and Jersey City, I was like, okay, this was stupid.
I shouldn't have done this.
So then I went to South Jersey, basically.
And then when the riot, and this is like sleepy middle of nowhere.
And, uh, once again, working, you know, I'm working from home, working from the computer.
We were flying guests out and we started doing the show and stuff like that.
And then I decided to move to West Virginia, which is one hour from the DC metro.
So it's like people are saying, you're so far away from everything.
Dude, Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia is a front line.
There's leftists moving here to indoctrinate kids because they don't need to fight in the cities.
They own the cities.
So they're coming out here to try and take this ground and they are convincing West Virginia kids- Where do we go?
unidentified
We have to- Here!
tim pool
Here!
You go here!
Because you hold the line here!
You hold the line here!
You're in a state where your vote doesn't matter.
But look man, I'm not telling you what to do.
You can stay there, it's fine.
unidentified
My point is- We have to hold the line because we can't see the good ground to the- But you already did.
tim pool
California's owned by the left.
It's a sanctuary state where they get extra free votes by letting illegal immigrants come in, and the government is completely against you.
It's two-to-one, Democrat to conservative.
But if you were in a place like West Virginia, your vote would have ten times, ten times the impact.
Ten times.
unidentified
Tides change.
tim pool
Yeah?
unidentified
You know, people get sick of stuff.
There's been so many Republican governors in California.
Reagan.
tim pool
And it ended in 1990.
unidentified
Wilson.
Schwarzenegger.
But people get sick of the shit and they vote in, they vote in Republican.
tim pool
So so here's what I see.
I see, I think, and I say this with all due respect, I think you're actually trying to
justify to yourself why you're staying there.
And that's it.
I don't care if you stay there. That's fine. All I'm saying is Black Lives Matter will show up at some point and start
firebombing shit.
And when that happens, it's just like, okay, well, that's your choice. You know what I mean?
unidentified
Not in my town.
tim pool
They've done it.
When, in the 2020 Summer of Love, they went to like Rome, Illinois, and they were firebombing and smashing windows on small little convenience stores.
So, it's, you know, my view is like, when I'm talking about this, I'm saying, When they go to that guy's house- So where do you go then?
unidentified
If you can go to Rome in Illinois, in some small town, why would you leave?
tim pool
Because your votes matter there.
Because your votes- But you already lost.
See, that's what I'm saying.
I think you're placating.
You're justifying.
You're in a jurisdiction wholly owned by Democrats and has been for decades, to the point where they've opened the borders completely and are giving free health care to non-citizens, free insurance to illegal immigrants, and getting free congressional votes because of it.
Your vote matters nothing there.
In New York, it doesn't matter.
In Illinois, it doesn't matter.
In the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, it does.
In the western panhandle of Maryland, it does.
In Ohio and Georgia and Wisconsin, it's going to be the most important thing ever.
Your vote's going to have a ten times impact in those places.
But I don't care if you do or don't go.
That's fine.
You can do whatever you want.
I'm just saying, like, You live in a place where eventually the governor is going to kill your grandparents by doing this fucked up shit.
That's what I'm saying.
unidentified
Alright, well...
I appreciate the discussion and the little debate.
tim pool
Yeah, I do appreciate it.
Thanks for calling in, man.
I hope you guys do well and everything's alright.
unidentified
And I really enjoy Phil's addition here.
It's awesome.
Thank you, Phil.
phil labonte
Appreciate it, man.
Thank you.
tim pool
And I do appreciate it, man.
I thank you for calling in and saying that because I don't think I'm right about everything and I'm glad other people got to hear your point of view as someone who does live in these areas.
unidentified
Thank you.
tim pool
Thanks for calling in, brother.
unidentified
Bye-bye.
seamus coughlin
Counterpoint, I think Tim is right about everything, and I'm angry you called in.
auron macintyre
This is how you keep getting the candy bars.
seamus coughlin
Exactly!
serge du preez
Anyways, last but not least, we have Lynch Mob.
What's going on?
unidentified
What's going on, gang?
serge du preez
Just hanging out.
seamus coughlin
Nothing much.
How you doing, man?
unidentified
Oh, not much.
I'd specifically like to thank Tim for blasting ropes all over my topic that I was going to bring up.
I was going to say something about the Elon announcement and the World Economic Forum executive chair.
I guess I can kind of pivot from that.
Did you guys know that she was a chairman on the task force on future of work?
And sits on the World Economic Forum's Media, Entertainment, and Cultural Industry Governor Steering Committees.
phil labonte
So I heard that about the media stuff, and I also read on, and it might have been just a passing tweet that someone said, but that part of the reason why Elon was speaking to her was because of the media history she has.
Now again, I don't know anything beyond what We've heard so far, I haven't even had time to sit down and really go through a lot of the tweets because we've been, you know, on the air and stuff.
But it doesn't look all that great!
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Yeah, I don't know what else, you know, we talked a bit about it already.
I don't know what else to say other than, you know.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
I guess, I mean, to me, it really highlights the importance Of not putting faith in one man.
tim pool
I mean, look, Peter Thiel is a Bilderberg guy, isn't he?
serge du preez
I think so.
tim pool
Yeah.
And he's Rumble, too.
unidentified
I mean, it's like, you know, the whole cult of Trump.
I mean, and I have things about him, of course, I like.
I mean, obviously, if they're going after him this hard, he's doing something right.
But I mean, it does kind of highlight for me, like, you know, Man, Bill.
I mean, they...
phil labonte
Go ahead.
Well, I just think that it is worth noting that it's easy for us that are constantly exposed to the culture war and
who have jobs in the culture war or whatever.
It's easy for us to kind of say, okay, it looks like he's on the side of the bad guys and stuff.
And I think that there's a lot of people that are more nuanced.
And Tim's made this point before, like inside the FBI, there are Trump supporters and inside the FBI, there are people that are against it.
And so it, it is possible that the, People that not everybody that work has worked with the W.E.F.
or works with the W.E.F.
is really on the inside of making the decisions about the things that the W.E.F.
does.
unidentified
Yeah.
phil labonte
Again, no, I'm not.
Again, I'm not saying that I'm not saying that she's you know that she's Going to do perfect things or that she's the right, even that she's the right selection.
But I do think that it's likely that there is more nuance to it than just this person went to talk to the WEWF, so that automatically means that they must be the enemy.
Now, again, this is not saying that we shouldn't be skeptical, and I'm not saying that we shouldn't be, you know, we shouldn't be aware of people's history and we shouldn't take that
into account.
But I do think that nuance is still something that is possible in the world.
Yes, my take.
tim pool
So we'll see. I think we just got to keep the pressure up.
That's about it.
unidentified
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was just, you know, if you ask anybody what's like the most evil organization on the planet, I mean, well, people like that listen to this type of show, what I'd say, World Economic Forum.
I mean, well, well, well spoken, Phil.
I mean, it doesn't mean that she's going to do bad.
phil labonte
I mean, it doesn't mean I'm right either.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Right on, man.
Well, thanks for calling.
I don't know, I kind of feel like we hit that one early on, but I do appreciate the call.
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, I had written the whole page and then I heard you say it, so I was like, okay, I'll try to pivot off of this.
That's really all I had.
tim pool
Right on, man.
Well, thanks for calling in.
unidentified
I did want to say something real quick.
I've called in like three weeks ago, and I had said something about my kids, and just because of the delay, I didn't hear Seamus say that he'd be praying for my kids.
And Seamus, I just want to tell you, I really, really appreciate this.
seamus coughlin
Oh, of course, man.
Of course.
God bless you.
phil labonte
Word.
tim pool
Well, thanks for calling in, man.
unidentified
Well, thanks for having me on.
tim pool
Absolutely.
Have a good one, sir.
unidentified
Cheers, man.

I want to mention one last thing, too, on the moving stuff.
I hope people understand this.
We are building a headquarters in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.
It's very expensive.
We built a 40-foot steel building, 7,500 square feet with a studio inside of it.
It's insanely expensive to do this.
The internet for us at both locations costs $3,000 per month.
If I set this up in New York City or the periphery, it would cost me $100 per month.
The amount of money that I'm losing to do it here, it's really brutal.
Not to mention every single person we have work here, it costs us an additional $2,000 to cover their moving expenses, and that doesn't even cover all of it, it's just the max cap we can provide because then the people who want to work here have to pay the rest of that on their own.
Several families have relocated to this area to work here.
So you're basically looking at a company of tons of people who are exerting tremendous resources to do exactly what we're talking about doing.
To be in an area that's on the front line, where our votes matter significantly more than they would in other places, to push back on the woke encroachment and expending tons of resources to do it.
I could go into an area in say like New York or Austin.
Everyone's begging me to go to Austin.
I could buy a building in Austin, Finger snap!
We got an Austin building in a major metropolitan area.
Internet costs a hundred bucks a month.
We do the show.
People already live there.
I don't got to spend anything on moving costs.
I don't got to build anything.
I don't got to buy any property.
And I put all that money in my pocket.
Instead, we went to an area where we have to develop these things.
Where we're building out an economy for people who are in MAGA country.
So that as the economy here expands, the people who have strong American values in the second most Trump-supporting state are going to be the ones who are reaping the benefits of that economic expansion.
We are having people who believe in what we're doing move out here, spending the money, uprooting the family, and coming here for the opportunity, and it's not easy.
I, you know, I could save, like, no joke, dude, it's $6,000 a month for us to have internet.
It's fucking nuts.
It took us four months to lay the internet down to build all this infrastructure.
It's fucking brutal.
So, if you don't want to leave these areas, you don't have to do it.
That's fine.
But, like, to the people who keep saying it's so easy for you, this is like one of the hardest fucking things I have ever done.
It's been two years of constructing the studio, and we're still not done.
Two years.
And the amount of cost we've put into this, it is just draining every day.
And I'll also add, too, on the coffee front, we are negative $100,000 on the coffee.
It's brutal stuff, but you know what?
I believe in this stuff, and I think it's important that we do it.
Building the coffee shop, I took out a loan to do that, so that we could get the building, and we're in a city where they're having drag queen all-ages shows, and they've announced they're going to be doing an X-rated pride event, or something to that effect.
We are in a place that should not be having this, where our votes matter more, where we can bring economic value.
And when we go to the city and say, do not allow porn on our streets, they'll say, why?
And I'll say, because I run a large podcasting network and media company that's investing in this area, and we could leave.
And when we do, we'll say exactly why we did.
And they're going to say, no, no, no, no, don't leave.
Fuck those people.
That's what we're doing.
That's just me.
If you don't want to do that, that's fine.
You don't have to do that.
Thanks for hanging out.
