unidentified		So we got this viral clip from reporter Allad Eliyahu.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We're at a Pride event, they're chanting, we're coming for your children.
		This story is going massively viral, even being carried by the corporate press, which is surprising to me.
		I think it's because regular people are sick and tired of the extreme behavior we've been seeing creeping into the mainstream as it pertains to Pride events.
		The Bud Light effect has become very real for every major corporation in two ways.
		The first, You're going to lose money if you embrace this stuff because it's gone too far.
		And the second, you're going to make money if you cover the stories and make videos about it.
		We talked about this early on.
		I said a lot of creators, a lot of influence, a lot of, you know, people who make videos or whatever are going to start jumping on this because they can clearly see there is a path to virality in covering these stories and talking about addressing the issue.
		And now, seeing the corporate press actually address it, surprising to me, to be completely honest.
		But we'll talk about that.
		And we'll talk about this clip that's gone viral from the Culture War podcast from last week, where our guest from the majority report explicitly defended she believed that children of 10 years old should be using Grindr.
		And we have to discuss the morality behind that.
		The question being, do these leftists actually believe children should be equipped to engage in illegal activity or should become victims of adult predators?
		Or are they just saying whatever they think the left wants them to say?
		In which case, they're driving themselves off a cliff.
		We'll talk about that and a whole bunch more.
		We got a bunch of crazy stories.
		They want to impeach Merrick Garland.
		There's a new report about the Biden administration colluding with big tech to censor people.
		We kind of know all of that stuff, so we'll talk about those issues and what's going on in the culture wars that pertains to Get Woke, Go Broke, Disney losing $900 million with several of their last releases because, yeah, I think we're winning this one.
		I think regular people have had enough and are just saying, yo, I'm sick of how crazy things have gotten.
		Before we get into all of that, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and pick up Cast Brew Coffee.
		This is our coffee company.
		Not only will it be the greatest cup of coffee you've ever had, it will be the only, well, I shouldn't say only, but it'll be one of the best cups of coffee helping you fight communism.
		That's right.
		We sponsor ourselves, so when you buy Casprew, you're helping support this show, the work that we do, and we're building a parallel economy.
		The coffee shop is currently under construction.
		Every time we start working on a new part of the building, we get an update.
		Is it not asbestos?
		It's got to be cleared out, all that crazy stuff.
		And it's a historic building, so it's taking forever.
		But this is the ultimate goal.
		To create real-world physical locations that people can hang out at, get exposed to content like ours, and say Stephen Crowder, and Viva in Barnes, etc.
		To see those videos when they're buying their coffee so that we can get a foothold in the center of suburban spaces and urban spaces.
		And with your support by buying Casper Coffee, we will get there.

		Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Terry Schilling.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Hey guys, thanks so much for having me.
		This is a really exciting topic for me.
		This is all I do is talk about how the left is trying to groom our children sexually and in many other ways.
		So, perfect night to come on and talk about everything I've learned over the past few years.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, right on.
		What is it you do?
		Do you work for an organization?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so I'm the president of a group called American Principals Project, and we brand ourselves as Big Family, right?
		So, like, everyone in DC has a special interest group.
		There's Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Tobacco.
		We're Big Family.
		We make politicians pay a price when they hurt our kids or indoctrinate our kids in schools.
		We give parents a voice in politics, and we think that politics is a really important thing, and it actually can drive the culture.
		And, you know, when you change the law, you can change the culture.
		And so we operate from a very simple premise.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right on.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We got Phil Labonte hanging out as well.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		How you doing?
		I am Phil Labonte, lead singer of All That Remains, anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
		It's good to be back.
		What's up, Ian?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well, so many things, Phil.
		Let's talk about it tonight on this beautiful Monday night.
		Ian Crossley coming at you live, everybody.
		What's happening, Serge?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yo, sorry about the audio, guys.
		The reason there is a buzz is because we have two window units running right now, and there's not really much I can do.
		Otherwise, I would die of heat exhaustion.
		So, Archers.com.
unidentified		What's up?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Our AC broke.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So we have two portable units and a fan running, and it is still like 80 degrees in here, so... Yeah, it's still hot.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		It sucks, but just so you know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We'll be getting sweaty in the room.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We'll figure it out in due time, but yeah, shall we get on with the news?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Let's do it!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, the first story we got is from TimCast.com.
		New York City Drag March participants chant, we're coming for your children.
		Actually, I don't think I can show the video because they're nude.
		So I have to turn on the blur here.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		That's cool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then, yeah.
		And then let's see if I boot it up.
		Is it gonna, is it gonna blur?
		It's not.
		So let's refresh and see if it worked now.
		Okay, there we go.
		Now turn it on.
unidentified		We're here, we're queer, we're not going shopping.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay so they chant, we're not going shopping afterwards.
		The fact that they all know the change, like, they know what this chant is, it was planned in advance.
		They're saying we're coming for your children.
		Here's where it gets interesting.
		This is, uh, I think now I can remove the blur.
		This is ABC7.
		We're coming for your children.
		Video of NYC drag march parade stirs outright show.
		Even the corporate press is covering this.
		Podcaster Tim Pool shared a video of the event.
		I mean, technically I did.
		It was TimCast News, filmed by Allad Eliyahu.
		Several outlets, including the Daily Mail and Newsweek, have reported the videos from New York City's Pride weekend.
		People can be seen in the video walking through a park wearing colorful apparel, some dressed in drag and others topless.
		And they're chanting that they're coming for our children.
		At a certain point, it's not a joke.
		That video came out a while ago from the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir singing We're Coming For Your Children.
		And people were like, hey, that's alarming.
		And what did the media say?
		It's a joke!
		They're being silly!
		And it's... No, they're not joking.
		No, they're not.
		They actually mean it.
		There are numerous videos going around right now that I can't show on YouTube.
		One of them depicts a man in tighty-whities spreading his legs and Cheeks in front of children and then gyrating and thrusting himself at the kids.
		I can't show you that video.
		I mean, it's hard enough to describe on a show like this.
		Twitter is censoring these videos.
		If you try to retweet it, they're getting suppressed.
		People aren't seeing the posts.
		And then the videos themselves, it says, this tweet is unavailable.
		And this is the scary thing about censorship.
		I understand you want to censor this so that kids don't see it.
		You put a sensitive filter on it.
		You don't make it impossible for people to see.
		Because the fact that people can't see this is what's prolonging it.
		So when you go to someone and tell them this is what they're doing, this is what the left has been doing, they're grooming kids, they say, prove it.
		You try to find the video, the video's gone.
		Because Twitter is censoring it out of a fear that advertisers will flee the platform.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		No, that's exactly right.
		The transgender movement, the left's best argument for the past decade or so when it comes to our kids has been, it isn't happening, right?
		Just a straight up denial that there's anything going on with kids.
		And that's all started to change ever since everyone has a TikTok channel, everyone has a YouTube channel, because these kids are bragging about it.
		They're bragging about getting double mastectomies.
		And we're seeing this stuff in our kids' schools.
		COVID was...
		awesome silver lining to expose parents to what their kids are experiencing.
		But no, that's exactly right, Tim. We have to be able to talk about this stuff.
		And we can't protect. It's already out there. I mean, they're doing this on the pride parade.
		The pride parades have been out of control for at least the last decade, right? Like,
		this is not new. I've been to pride parades. They always have weird, new, crazy stuff going on.
		The leather.
		They've had the puppy guys, you know, out there.
		There's always been a level of weirdness to this, and at the center of it, right?
		Trans rights, you have it.
		Like, they have special privileges now, right?
		Like, I'm not able to go into the streets and dance naked in a, you know, a St.
		Patrick's Day parade.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But that's Pride in general.
		That's always been that way.
		I mean, we've talked about it when I was a kid.
		You'd go to a Pride parade, and they would be doing gratuitous things.
		They'd be naked.
		So, More specifically, when I was a kid, my mom did not let me go outside during Pride because we had a cafe on North Hallside in Chicago.
		The Pride parade would come and she'd say, go inside and don't come outside because of the things they were doing.
		When I was maybe six, seven years ago in L.A., people I knew in L.A.
		were like, oh yeah, when Pride comes around, they were talking about how they all got naked and would run around, run around fully nude.
		And it's like, I'm like, isn't that illegal?
		And they're like, nobody cares.
		It's like, okay, well, look, if the people in the cities don't care, fine.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Does no one care?
		I mean the thing is maybe they haven't been vocal, maybe they have been kind of like worried about what their neighbors would say or whatever because of the tone nowadays, but I really find it hard to believe that people don't care.
		I think people were afraid to say something because of the fact that they felt like
		they were gonna be ostracized, when in reality, they probably were still
		the quiet mind majority.
		Most people don't want their children to be exposed to kink in the streets of a major city.
		And I think that the stuff with Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney finally gave your average person
		the courage to stand up and say, hold on, I don't really approve of this.
		I want to see a little more modesty in public.
		No one's talking about going into your Bedroom and deciding who you can sleep with or can't sleep with or at least the average person I'm sure there are some some some religious people that want to You know want to get into the into the business of what is going on in your bedroom?
		But the average person that is just kind of living their life and doesn't really pay a lot of attention to politics They don't want their kids exposed to nude men in the streets What what about like a dude in a diaper with a dog helmet on?
		You know what?
		I bet you the average guy, the welder that welds in South Dakota, he probably wants his kids to be exposed to a guy in a diaper with a dog mask.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You're probably right.
		A guy can go shirtless in tight shorts any day of the week, walk down the street.
		He can put on a dog mask, he can walk down the street.
		But if he puts on a fake strap on it or whatever, now it's becoming sexualized.
		Technically, Oriel, a real one.
		But like, I mean, how is like wearing a diaper as your only thing not sexual for an adult anyway?
		It's weird.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's all sexual.
		It's all kink, though.
		That's the part of the thing is that that Tim's talked about before is is this isn't about actually being proud of your sexuality.
		It's about exhibitionism, narcissism and kink.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		I also think, though, that it makes sense, right?
		This is a movement built on pride.
		And that pride has now turned into hubris.
		To where they're pushing transgender bathing suits for little kids at Target.
		And they didn't think there was going to be a consequence.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Those were adult bathing suits.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Didn't they expose that it was for little kids?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, those were adult bathing suits.
		But they did have kids' clothing and onesies that said, like, Pride and things like that.
		The tuck-friendly bathing suit was an adult bathing suit.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so the thing is, though, regardless of Target did that, right, there's still trans kids' stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sorry, real quick, the funny thing is, like, that was the defense we got from the corporate press.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're like, no, no, no, no, no, that section where they're selling the kids' clothing that had all the stuff on it, the bathings for tucking was for the adults in the same section.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		And it's like, I'm glad you brought up hubris, man.
		Pride is on my mind a lot, and how it's a Catholic sin, but an American virtue.
		And I think this whole we're coming for you rhetoric is hubristic.
		Who do you think you are to coexist with me and threaten that you're going to come for my children?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's a celebration of a conquered religion.
		Every year when Pride goes out and when they are out there in the street celebrating, they're celebrating their victory over Christianity.
		And I'm an agnostic.
		I'm not the guy that's gonna sit there and say... That's a little too explicit for me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't think it's over Christianity, I think it's just... I don't, I don't, it's, it's, we refer to Wokeness as a non-theistic religion, but it's amorphous, it is, it is, it is boundaryless, borderless, it is just, it's more of a celebration of likeness.
		These are people who are going out and being like, we are, we, we, we have a social group.
		That's all they're saying.
		There's no logic, there's no rules, there's no morals.
		As long as you agree to adhere to the group, you're good.
		If you deviate in any way, you're bad.
		They're not celebrating a deity, they're not celebrating an ideology, they're celebrating an amalgam of various social theories and aspects mashed together, which often contradict each other.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't disagree with you in that point, but I do think that they're celebrating a victory over what is considered normal.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Or what has been considered normal.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But Christianity, like, Look, if you go to these events, they'll tell you they don't like Christianity, but they couldn't tell you anything about it, and it's not on their minds.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's the Christianity that Jon Stewart told them is out there, because that's where they get their... They're not going out there because of Christianity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They don't like it, but they do like Islam.
		Seriously.
		Like, not all of them, but a lot of them do.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Until they find out how Islam feels about them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They still like it.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No, they'll move on.
		They will move on.
		The dialectic will continue, because as soon as Islam becomes the conservative in their eyes, then they will move on.
		Just like they do to gay men, how gay men aren't, you know, you're not queer enough if you're a gay white male.
		Like, you're not queer enough, and you get left behind.
		That's what happened to people like Milo and, you know, Brendan Strickland.
		I think Brendan Strickland is a gay man.
		It's been years.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		since uh... we've seen islam uh... muslims protesting lgbtq stuff and then they're still very much like oh it's fine it is certainly changed though there was uh... up in uh... michigan that suburb it wasn't in dearborn it was a town near uh... detroit not necessarily dearborn probably close enough suburb where they said no pride flags on public display and they said because we don't put anyone's flags on public display we only do the american flag or or the flags of nations and then they got mad about it I saw in the UK, government buildings are flying the Progress Pride flag in the US.
		This is a flag, it's a symbol of a global, it's a global takeover.
		It is a non-theistic religion, it is a global cult.
		The fact that foreign countries are flying this flag says a lot.
		The fact that US embassies fly the flag says a lot.
		It is creepy and it should not be allowed.
		So look, I don't know if we'll get anyone in Congress to be like, hey, you know, you can't fly flags like this, you know, on government buildings, but they're doing it anyway.
		I can't speak for these other countries, but it is creepy.
		And I wonder when I see that, I'm like, is that the flag of like the one world government?
		You know what I mean?
		Like not literally in the sense of one world government, but is that the flag of the cross borders internationalist ethos?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		It's at least the flag for the activists that will get us to a one-world government, right?
		Like, they'll have something else more generic that appeals to more people.
		But I like that idea of passing laws that say that in government buildings you can only fly government flags, right?
		Like the American... Why is it, like, what is their argument against the American flag being the flag that... They hate America.
		I understand that, but, like, if you're on TV, right?
		So, like, the professionals, what do they say?
		Because the American flag really does represent everyone.
		Gay, straight, trans, whatever.
		Whether you like it or not, it represents America.
		So, like, why don't they just fly the American flag?
		Like, if I was an LGBT... Because they hate liberalism.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they hate liberalism, they hate America.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		So it repulses them.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But I don't want to baptize that flag, right?
		And here's the crazy thing, too.
		There was a video I saw out of France, where during their pride march, someone climbed up to a second-floor balcony and ripped down the French flag.
		It's not just America.
		It is all these countries having some kind of weird shared internet cult.
		And they're bubbling up in a bunch of different countries.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's the patriarchy.
		They want to smash the patriarchy.
		The white privilege, I think, is what it stands for.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They are the patriarchy.
		Times ten.
		Literally, wokeness is hardcore patriarchy.
		Yeah.
		Like, the advocacy against the rights of women?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's crazy.
		It's racist, too.
		It splits up little kids and tells them their skin color means something, and like, people become racist, and they're like, so, so, so counterproductive.
		It's wild.
		Wild that humans think that this is something.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		In this context, and I know we did talk about this on Friday, but I do want to bring it up now.
		We have this clip from the Culture War podcast, where I was having a conversation with Emma Vigeland of the Majority Report Coast.
		And considering what we saw with this Pride event, I want to play this clip and discuss it more in depth.
		So I'm going to play it for you now.
		Here we go.
unidentified		You're the one arguing for... You're the one arguing for censorship.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I don't really mind that stuff.
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		I mean, are you in favor of children seeing violence on television?
unidentified		No.
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		That scares me a little bit more.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It depends.
		It's not so simple to save violence, right?
		But yes, censorship is a good thing, but when done bad is a bad thing.
		Yeah.
		For instance, Ian Crossland, who is a co-host on TimCastIRL, used to be a moderator for Minds.com, and he had to filter out graphic depictions of murder and rape and child abuse.
		Censorship is absolutely vital in that regard.
		So, if we're talking about a book like, in particular, there was one called, there's a teacher Who provided a book to her middle schoolers called This Book is Gay.
		I don't know if you've ever heard of it.
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		I have heard.
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		That's actually a very good book.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it provides instruction on children, for children, she provided instruction to children on how to use adult gay anonymous sex apps.
		Yeah, I don't think that's appropriate.
		Now look, by all means, you can be in favor of it.
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		Maybe she had a child, maybe, maybe she had a child in her classroom.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who wanted to go on Grindr and have sex with adults?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is that your argument?
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		No, I mean, I'm not saying that.
		First of all, I don't know- Again, this is another- Why would a ten-year-old need Grindr?
		This is the thing that you do, though, Tim.
		Oh, that I do.
		You're picking specific examples that are inflammatory.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You asked me for one.
emma vigeland ▲ ● ▼		Okay, then go ahead.
		I did!
		We have the book!
		Yeah, I'm not- I said don't show children blowjobs.
		You said you appreciate it.
		Look, I'm not in favor of censorship.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This book is gay.
		It's a book that Teaches the individual reading it how to use adult sex apps and holy crap there are things described in that book that
		Look, you know, I can't even, I can't even describe it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I'm buying it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I can't even, bro.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		We gotta have it on the table.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you're buying the book.
unidentified		Right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't disagree with that.
		I don't like giving these people money, but I think it's important to know and for people to read this stuff.
		But the book describes things that go well beyond sex and kink into what I would describe as dangerous behavior that can result in serious Look, when they talk about consuming feces, and it goes beyond that, I'm like, you're talking about things that can cause serious harm to a person, let alone a child.
		When she says it's a great book, and defends the idea that children would get it, I have to wonder.
		I almost don't have to wonder.
		It's a question of, do we really think these people just don't know what they're talking about?
		Or does Emma actually want children to have sex with adults?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Emma had one thing on her mind when she came in here, and that was disagree with Tim Poole.
		There was not any brain function going on.
		She was just, what does Tim Poole say?
		Challenging.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Idiot!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe, but that's giving them the benefit of the doubt when they're trying to get kids on Grindr.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		No, how progressives view all of this, right?
		The patriarchy, they want to tear all that down, but they want to progress beyond all institutions, barriers.
		They think that laws that protect children from sex is actually hurting them.
		It's causing them harm.
		That's what the academics and ideologues of progressivism believe.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Emma is not that.
		Emma is not, like, she is not, she's, like, her head is so empty.
		And, like, the whole point of her coming here was to get something that, and the same thing goes for, like, the whole Minority Report or whatever.
		Majority Report.
		They're just looking to dunk on Tim Pool.
		She came here hoping to get some kind of way to dunk on Tim Pool.
		Now, you're right, there are people that know theory and actually believe it's good to have intergenerational relationships, people like Herbert Marcuse and, you know, Gayle Rubin, I think is her name, and the people that write queer theory books, you're totally right.
		Emma's not one of them.
		Emma is a useful idiot.
		That's why she was, like, screaming about supporting Trans women in women's sports, even if it hurts some of the competitors.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So you're saying Emma Vigeland's advocacy for pedophilia isn't that she herself is a pedophile, but that she stands opposed to institutions, laws, and... Yes.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Anything on the right, anything that comes out of your mouth, she's going to oppose.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		She had no idea.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I will say this.
		The reason why I can't agree with that is for one I don't want to give them the benefit of the
		doubt because I think they know exactly what they're talking about but for her maybe she did this
		thing where she after the show she claimed she wasn't cool enough to see the skate park it's the
		weirdest thing in the world because I said earlier maybe when she pulled up and parked she didn't
		notice she was in a skate park because the front of the property is the skate park yeah
		And I'm like, maybe they pulled up into the far space and just walked right in the green room door and she didn't notice because she didn't look anywhere.
		Then I found out from staff, she was actually right in the middle of it.
		She was standing in the middle of the skate park.
		There's ramps everywhere.
		There's rails and ledges.
		You can see everything.
		There's like a big speaker for music.
		And then she called and said, I didn't get to see the skate park.
		And I'm like, That's a really weird thing to lie about.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You will literally trip over the grinding rail that is right at the front of the house if you're not careful.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You will fall over that.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		She was talking about the other skate park, the downstairs one.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's what I think it was anyway.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's like five here!
		Downstairs is a mini-ramp, not a skate park.
		The skate park is the barn, and there's a massive 24 foot long vert wall.
		It's an 8-foot vert, 8-foot wide vert, and then there's a 16-foot, 4-foot section.
		You park right in front of it, and you're surrounded by ramps.
		It's a weird thing to lie about.
		She could have said, well, I did get to see the skate park.
		I didn't get to see their ramp, though.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I could see how it might not look like a skate park, because there's a bunch of cars parked all around it, because it's a parking lot as well.
		It doubles as a parking lot.
		She might not have realized she was in one.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You're so kind.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so she was offered a tour.
		Sushi and poker with the boys.
		When the show wrapped, I said, we're all gonna hang out.
		We have sushi that's here, bubble tea, cheeseburgers.
		We put on some music.
		We hang out at the table.
		We play a microstakes poker game, basically poker for fun, not for money.
		And we can show you around.
		She goes, no, I can't.
		I've got to run.
		And I'm like, OK, cool.
		Thanks for coming.
		And what does she do?
		They wouldn't show me anything.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Drama, but I think it was so that what but it wasn't it was so that way she could slime Like the people here.
		Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't like a ha ha Tim.
		It wasn't a good nature joke It wasn't because of because she wanted to be humorous and and be fun It was a way to slime Tim and her experience here, even though Tim was polite kind and and This is exactly what Sam Seder did when we invited him on the show.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I said, I know exactly what he's going to do.
		It's low-tier WWE political garbage.
		And if I invite him on the show, they do this thing where all of a sudden, abruptly, they'll say something in a non sequitur, and you're confused by what they're saying.
		Because she had it on her computer.
		My understanding is that she was being told what to say.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Oh, really?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		In the middle of the conversation... Well, she had a list of things, like, written out, I guess.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Because of your point, that she's, like, just vacuous.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's an assumption, man.
		She's a journalist.
		She reads, like, 50 pages a day before she works.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look at what happened with Steven Crowder and Sam Seder, right?
		Steven Crowder was going to have a conversation with Ethan Klein, and then Sam barges in and then starts just clucking like a chicken.
		Like, just bawk-bawk nonsense.
		Because it's WWE to them.
		So I'm like, We can have her on the show, and I said, it would be with another person to discuss ideas.
		So we got Sean Fitzgerald, and what does she do?
		Before the show, we were like, hey, let's open with crime and talk about Jordan Williams, this guy in New York who's, you know, he was a black guy.
		People are saying he's not getting the same support as Penny, because he's black.
		And she goes, yeah, of course, absolutely.
		As soon as the show starts, what does she do?
		E-drama, WWE garbage.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I think Majority Report primarily is like a comedy show slash, it's more like the daily show.
		Let me finish, please.
		Whereas this show's more serious.
		And I think they both, Sam and Emma, get a kick out of making you upset.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's just part of pushing your friends around when you're little.
		This is not me being like, oh I can't believe I got dunked on.
		This is Emma advocating for pedophilia.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		No it's not.
		You cut her off at a minute and five.
		I was watching this clip.
		I watched the show live.
		You cut her off at a minute and five in the clip and didn't let her talk about what she said.
		Maybe the teacher has a student in her class and you cut her off.
		And that was the end of it.
		She couldn't explain herself.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Watch the full episode.
unidentified		I did.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I watched it once.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, she goes into greater detail.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We talked for like 20 minutes about how she was like, she explicitly said she did not care if 10 year olds were shown blowjobs.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I think she's out of line.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She's not— I think you need censorship for stuff like that.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's an argument I'll have with her.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're having a show where they advocate for pedophilia at a time where they're chanting, we're coming for your children, and they produced a 50-person chorus called, We're Coming for Your Children.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ian, take the blinders off, man.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's what I was going to say.
		I think there's a blind— there's blindness in people's brains where they think that things have happened so slowly as they're introducing sexuality to children, nine-year-olds seeing porn and things, that now people are like, Why do we... Censorship is the bad guy.
		We don't need... Just let things happen naturally and like, dude, it's our duty and responsibility to create a moral system.
		If we don't stay on it every day, it's gonna go haywire.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When has the left ever been against censorship?
		For her to be like, I oppose censorship, it's like, oh please.
		They complain that someone says a naughty word on the internet and they want them all banned.
		Then when it comes to the issue of pedophilia, she's like, I think, I'm not even going to quote her.
		When it comes to the issue of pedophilia, and a teacher trying to get her students of 10 years old to use Grindr, she defends it.
		You know what she could have said?
		She could have said, okay, like, yes, that's bad, but here's what I'm saying.
		She didn't say that.
		Dude, for two and a half hours we talk, or like two hours and twenty minutes, and she's, in every respect, defending that they're doing these things.
		In every respect.
		And then it got to the point where I was like, I don't understand.
		And it's probably like Phil said, whatever it is we agree on, no matter what.
		They oppose.
		No matter what.
		So I was like, isn't it in your interest to have Joe Biden, like, out?
		To get somebody else.
		So when we come out and we're like, hey, here's evidence Joe Biden's corrupt, shouldn't you just be like, oh?
		And she's like, no, it's not true.
		And I'm like, wait, wait, what?
		No, it is true.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Reactionaryism.
		You got to watch out for that stuff.
		Anyone that's willing to refute what you say because they don't like you, that's a big problem.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's what the left is right now.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		A lot of people on a lot of sides can fall into that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I've been explaining this for a while.
		The left, as we describe it, is a reactionary movement.
		What does that mean?
		Reactionary doesn't mean you react to something.
		It is a specific reference to those who are trying to bring back or preserve the old ways.
		That is what the left is doing.
		They're not about progress.
		This is a lie.
		When you get Ibram Kendi coming out and saying the only solution to pass discrimination, etc., etc., when he's basically advocating for future discrimination, Derek Bell, I'm hoping I'm not getting his name wrong, they're advocating for returning to Plessy v. Ferguson.
		They want to bring back the old, before the Civil Rights Movement.
		They are reactionaries who are upset we had a civil libertarian revolution in this country that brought about individual rights.
		They are collectivists, they hate that we've enshrined in our constitution individual rights, and they want to turn back the clock to get rid of that.
		They're reactionaries.
		Now, you're right.
		As for Emma, maybe it is fair to say, no matter what it is you advocate for, she will be against.
		If I say, hey, look, here's evidence Joe Biden's corrupt, she goes, nuh-uh.
		I'm like, but you hate Joe Biden!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's personal, Tim.
		It was all about, like, thereafter.
		It was personal about you.
		I mean, anybody that was here, obviously, would have been a representative of Tim Cass, but, like, the whole thing was they want clips.
		They were hoping to get clips, but Emma was just incapable of producing something that would be compelling for them, other than, oh, He didn't show me his skate park.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I wonder if they feel... I kind of felt like Emma felt a little bit of shame, because I know that the thing she said about neo-Nazis she was told to say, probably by Sam, and afterwards when the show wrapped, you know, and she steps out of the room for a bit, we're all talking about it, about this is the issue with the majority report.
		Sam Seder is blacklisted from a bunch of big networks and podcasts.
		He got fired from MSNBC, I think, I think.
		And this is explicitly why, as has been iterated to me by a lot of people, that he's an unserious person who just tries to gamify people for bad faith politics.
		And then, you know, as she's walking back in the room, Sean was like, oh, the neo-Nazi thing is out of line.
		It's like, it's not a real debate.
		It's not a real political argument.
		It's just an intentionally destructive to the political space.
		And then she, like, is looking down.
		She wouldn't look us in the eyes at all the whole time.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I wonder, like, she had made a big stink about the amount of money that they don't make and didn't want to admit that it's because there's not really an audience for it or not the same kind of audience.
		She did mention, like you'd said earlier, one of the things that I wanted to push back on, she said over and over that she was covering serious political topics and etc.
		And I think that all of the majority report and her in particular, but I would assume that the feeling is shared with most of the people over there is just massive jealousy.
		They don't get invited up to Capitol Hill.
		They're not they're not streaming their show from Congress, you know, from congressional people's offices.
		They're not they don't have the same kind of reach.
		They don't get the same kind of reaction from from audiences and stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So I think You're right, but that's like saying the people who intentionally choose not to shower are surprised that people don't want them around.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely, and that's exactly how people behave.
		I've smelled plenty of stinky people.
		People don't know that their breath stinks or that they're offensive to other people, that their ideas or they behave in ways that push people away.
		If people realized that, there probably wouldn't be any incel.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		She was saying that Sam is like a comedian first.
		His primary focus is in business.
		So she's got jokes too?
		Yeah.
		What they need is a $10 a month subscription.
		Because they've got 1.3 million subscribers or something, Majority Report does.
		You guys can monetize big time, get 20,000 subscribers a month, 15,000, whatever.
		You're going to be fine.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		She enjoyed telling people that it was about the politics, and it wasn't for money, and da-da-da-da-da.
		She loved, like she was reveling in pointing out that she was morally superior.
		That was one of the things that was really so gross about it.
		She came here and had this air of superiority, and we're better than you, and we're blah-blah-blah, just, and it was just, I found it, you know, a bit of a turnoff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know what I think the majority of people, I think they're like the incel equivalent Of politics, where like, you get a guy who's out of shape, doesn't have good social skills, says crude and rude things, smells bad and has a poor diet, and then they get really jealous that people don't want to be friends with them, so they go online, they get really angry and start talking about how the world sucks and how bad it is, and I think that's what the majority report is.
		Because, you know, you can have, you have this big political space with a whole bunch of different commentators of different various backgrounds all having debates and, you know, and getting along to varying degrees.
		And then you have the majority report where Sam gets, like, banned from a bunch of different shows, then complains about it, and then when people bring up that he's banned, what did Emma say?
		She's like, well, it's because they're scared of him.
		It's like...
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Part of it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		And because he's a dick.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No one's scared of him, dude.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's probably both.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's literally not.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Well, Destiny is.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He's straight up said if there's anyone on the left I would be afraid to debate it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's fine if Destiny said that.
		And I think Sean mentioned that.
		But I can tell you this definitively because I've talked to many big networks and stuff.
		They've explicitly said they think he's just going to come and clown them.
		Like, he's not a serious person.
		It's a clown show.
		It's the WWE of politics.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He was an actor.
		I mean, he's an actor.
		He's a comedian.
		Funny actor.
		He was an actor for years.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But at least Jon Stewart actually would address things.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Jon's pretty awesome.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He's a unique dude.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Was.
		And now he's doing the same thing.
		But let's move on.
		Let's move on and talk about where we're going with Get Woke, Go Broke, because we have this story from CNN Business.
		This is great, from last Friday.
		Starbucks workers at 150 stores go on strike over pride decorations.
		That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
		They said that there was no policy to take down pride decorations, and then 150 United Starbucks stores in the United States went on strike on Friday.
		I think, I said about 3,500 employees will be on strike, and I believe we have, from the post-millennial, Starbucks Union boasts they closed 21 locations last weekend in response to the alleged LGBTQ pride decoration ban.
		I think it's fair to say it's not alleged.
		The workers at these stores said they weren't allowed to put up decorations.
		I don't care what corporate is saying.
		The people are, they're actually protesting.
		Here's what I think happened.
		I think Starbucks said outright, we're going to lose a bunch of money, shut it down, and the workers protested.
		I think that what we're seeing now is, as I mentioned earlier in the show, the Bud Light effect shows.
		Get woke, go broke, but also anti-woke equals clicks.
		And so you're seeing a lot of apolitical people now coming out and being like, oh yeah, I don't like Bud Light, because they know they're going to get a million hits if they do it.
		Starbucks was just like, we better get out of this one, just take it down.
		And now their employees are revolting.
		Well, their employees are in revolt.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely revolting.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is funny how that word goes two directions.
		No, their employees are in revolt at many locations because this is what happens.
		Big corporations know, look, in the members only section, we're going to play the video of the guy doing something in front of children.
		Like, I got to be very careful.
		I don't want to explain it.
		Spreading himself.
		And you know, it's horrifying in public.
		And I would normally like to challenge YouTube and be like, hey YouTube, here's a video from Pride in public with children.
		Certainly you can't have a problem with that, right?
		But I know that there's a line.
		We did it before with one video, because I'm like, I don't think YouTube would take this down, they didn't.
		This one, I'm like, they're gonna take it down.
		There's videos of explicit nudity, and it's like with these books like Genderqueer, when parents tried to read it to their school board meeting, they get banned from it, but the kids are reading it.
		So, You know, anyway, my point is we'll show that in the members-only section, but I think what's happening is when you see an old man, when you see a guy in a diaper and a dog mask running up to your kids, turning around and wiggling his butt at them, parents are starting to go like, hey, hold on there a minute.
		When you get the video of the guy with the Bugs Bunny mask fully nude and then jumping up and down and shaking his genitals in front of people and their kids at this event, Regular people go, yo, hold on there a minute.
		Then Starbucks comes out and says, we love it!
		And they go, I ain't going to Starbucks anymore.
		Bud Light is the perfect example of it.
		Smackdown, no longer the top beer in the country, and all these corporations fear it.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		It's the hubris, right?
		It's the pride.
		Like, they think they can get away with acting in a revolting manner, right?
		Like, this is actually disgusting behavior that's repulsive to normal, everyday people.
		It's even repulsive to people that are part of the LGBT community.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's why it's fracturing.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		It's fracturing.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Groups like... Gays Against Groomers and all that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then Get The L Out.
		Quote, Get The L Out, end quote, is the name of an organization.
		It's lesbians who don't want to be associated with what's going on.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		I love it.
		But we need to see more of that.
		They're dividing all of our factions, and now it's coming home to roost.
		It's going to continue to get more and more extreme, and there will be more pushbacks.
		This is going to hurt Starbucks.
		I don't know how long, I don't know how badly.
		It's not going to be the target problem.
		I don't get it.
		I mean, Starbucks is a pretty gay-friendly company.
		The idea that they're not gay enough is kind of a weird argument.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't think any of these companies care.
		You know, people talk about ESG and CEI or whatever and I'm like, they just want...
		Look, when there was no pushback, companies were like, how much will it cost to do a Pride Month thing?
		It'll cost $5,000 for the decorations.
		And what's our upside?
		Oh, we'll be involved in this big celebration and then we'll maybe see a bump in sales.
		Now there's pushback.
		Now they say, yeah, it'll cost you $5,000 to do and you'll lose $300,000 per location because people will boycott your store.
		And they're like, pull the decorations.
		They don't actually care.
		It's all about the path of least resistance.
		And the fact that regular people are providing resistance, these companies are immediately just changing course.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The regular people thing matters a lot.
		Like I said, I mean, I've said this before on the show, I was just in California doing some more ATR stuff last couple of weeks, and some of my friends out there, like, you talk to them about this stuff and they're like, look, I got kids and I'm a progressive guy and stuff, but man, that ain't right.
		But I don't want to do this and they really understood the the ramifications of having you know their kids be exposed to this stuff and I think that the average person is is rejecting it out of hand I think that the normal people that are again You know, have maybe 15-20 minutes a week for politics.
		That's all they spend on knowing what's going on in the world.
		You know, maybe they see some memes that their friends send, and then they'll listen to, you know, the news for 15 minutes in the evening or whatever, or in the morning.
		Those people are the ones that are like, yo, I don't like the idea of the teacher wanting my child to transition.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I watched The Passion of the Christ for the first time last night.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I heard it's gruesome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is.
		It's really.
		The beginning I thought was a little slow, and then it actually got really, really good.
		It's not, uh, I wouldn't describe it as explicitly religious.
		I mean, obviously it is, but what I mean is, it's political.
		The reason I bring this up is, someone just mentioned, because of all this, there's going to be a far-right backlash.
		And then I saw that, I thought to myself, I'm like, well, I did just watch The Passion for the first time ever.
		Because I was curious.
		I'm like, you know, I grew up Catholic.
		Not Christian, but I do now want to understand more so what the points that are being made.
		So I did watch it and it's actually pretty good.
		I do think, you know, there needs to be a movie for the average person.
		This one was in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin with subtitles.
		Hard to watch.
		But the reason I bring it up is I learned a lot that I didn't know even having gone to Catholic school that changed my perspective on some of these issues.
		And I think it is partly due to what we are seeing from the left that I was open to having watched a movie like that.
		Again, I'm not a Christian.
		I do believe in God.
		I don't believe in the Catholic Church or anything like that.
		But it got me watching this and learning about Pontius Pilate and, um, what was the name?
		The murderer who was released and all this stuff.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Barabbas.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Barabbas and all this stuff.
		Things I didn't know that, you know, Pontius was like, I can release one person, Jesus or Barabbas, the murderer.
		And they were like, release the murderer.
		Like, that's how much they hated him.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		See, you went to Catholic school and they didn't cover this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		That is incredible.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But that may be why there's a break in religion in this country.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, of course, of course.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		They said, they filled the crowd with people that were like, get Jesus!
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I think they had false flags.
unidentified		I think they had like pets in the crowd.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't want to talk, I'm not trying to make this up so we can talk about religion.
		My point was simply, I do believe there will be a pendulum swing towards the right because of this.
		I think what's happening now is people are starting to ask questions of how to get to the point where there are pedophiles shaking their genitals in front of children and thrusting towards them while they watch, and it's like, Well, I don't think it completely correlates with religion, but the pendulum will swing.
		People will look back at where we were 10 years ago and say, what were we doing back then?
		It's like, oh, okay, we had standards.
		The standards were like this.
		You're going to hear arguments from people who are Christian, who are Catholic, and they're going to say, here's what we believe and why we oppose it.
		And then you're going to get regular moms and dads who are like, what do I have to do to stop the man from gyrating nude in front of my children?
		And the left is going to say, you're a bigot.
		And the right is going to say, church is this way.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		There's already people that are starting to talk about, you know, Christian nationalism and stuff, and that's the too far swing back to the right.
		And people like James Lindsay, thankfully, are already looking for ways to push back against it because there is going to be a reaction from the right.
		There's way more people going to church now than there were probably five years ago.
		There's way more young people converting or rediscovering religion.
		in response to what they're seeing as what they would consider perversion or whatever or what is it what's the word they like to use deviancy or whatever um but it's something that liberals and again normal liberals not progressives it's something that liberals have to be aware of and have to be be concerned with because you don't want to allow the government to have too much influence by the christian right like A liberal society can make room for the Christian right, it can make room for progressives, it can make room for Muslims, it can make room for everybody if you have a liberal society that doesn't favor one ideology.
		Right now, our liberal society is heavily influenced and heavily favors progressive ideology.
		And I think it's really important to not allow the pendulum to swing back.
		And I know if Seamus were here, he'd be screaming at me, but I really do think that it's important to not let the pendulum swing back too far.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Swing back a little bit!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yes, definitely.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, to the point where we're not chopping genitals off.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Of little kids.
		Isn't it funny, though, that it was the kids, like, they couldn't avoid going the kids route.
		Because that's, I think, where it all shifted, was when the American people saw just how much was aimed at our kids.
		Right?
		In schools, and on TV, and just all of the surgeries, all that stuff.
		The kids were the final straw.
		It started kind of with the women's sports issue, right?
		That was where you first started to see a big pushback.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They had to go for the kids.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because, as we've talked about quite a bit, the birth rates among those of the liberal worldview are substantially lower than those of conservatives.
		And so, the saying goes, socialists don't have kids, they have yours.
		But it's not working.
		The parental rights and education stuff.
		The reason why Emma had to defend genderqueer and this book is gay is because the left needs to indoctrinate kids and break them from their families.
		Grooming is one way to do it.
		Here's what happens.
		They need to create a rift between parents and kids to such a degree that the kids run away from home.
		It really is a crazy thing, right?
		So I'll give you an example.
		One of the things we talked about on the Culture War podcast was desistance rates.
		If a child is gender dysphoric, desistance is when they stop being dysphoric.
		And there have been a couple studies that we've cited.
		These are the cited studies as it pertains to desistance.
		61 to 95?
		Or is it 98%?
		I think it's like 96.
		It's around there.
		It's in the high 90s.
unidentified		90%!
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		So let's say the lowest number.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		I think it's like 96, it's around there, it's in the high 90s.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		90%!
		So, let's say the lowest number.
		61% of children suffering gender dysphoria who receive no intervention, desist.
		That is the majority.
		If we're trying to do the maximum amount of good, taking a utilitarian perspective, well then we would lean towards not intervening and giving medical treatment or sex changes to kids.
		She advocated for it, despite the fact it would result in more suicide and more depression.
		Why?
		It's the only way they can get new recruits to their cult.
		If children are raised by conservative parents in conservative households in conservative communities, those kids will be conservative.
		They need to find a way to rip those kids from the parents and they found a way.
		So if you look at it this way, if 61% of kids desist with no intervention and they go on to lead normal lives, that would mean the suicidal ideation drops dramatically with no intervention.
		If you intervene, They say that detransition is almost nonexistent among those that are put on puberty blockers.
		However, going from the natural rates of desistance and looking at the percentage of trans people who commit suicide, which is sad and horrifying, we don't want that to happen.
		If they take ten kids who are gender dysphoric, and on the high end, nine out of ten will desist, That means they are taking nine kids and increasing the risk of suicide among those kids by something like 50%.
		If they do nothing, those nine kids will not see an increased suicide rate because there's an increased suicide rate amongst people who are gender dysphoric.
		So when they advocate for giving intervention to kids who would otherwise be better, they are advocating for increasing the risk to suicide.
		That's why my view is we should not be doing this.
		I don't care what the AMA says or whatever.
		But again, the point is, it doesn't matter to them because they need to find a way to rip kids from their families.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Both Stalin and Hitler made comments about if you get control of the children, it doesn't matter what the parents think.
		It's something that is baked into socialist ideology because they want to change society.
		They don't like the liberal society that we live in, and unhappy people can be made into revolutionaries.
		Happy people that have happy families, they are not looking to revolt.
		So the left, the revolutionary left, unquestionably wants miserable people with destroyed lives so that way they can make them into activists.
		Happy people don't revolt.
		You're not going to get a revolution when most people are happy.
		That's the biggest problem that Herbert Marcuse found with capitalism.
		He was like, look, capitalism delivers the goods, so we have to find other unhappy people because capitalism has made the proletariat mostly happy, mostly successful.
		They have a good life.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Tim, can I reiterate something?
		Your whole point about them ripping the kids away from the parents, that is the entire point.
		And you need to look no further than their next steps that they're already working towards, right?
		So like, the last year and a half, two years, we've gotten 19 states to ban these treatments and puberty blockers for kids.
		19, right?
		We need all 50.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Child sex changes.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Where the blue states are going now, because they know the desistance rates, what they're doing is they're doing trans trafficking bills.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Where basically if the kid, if you're on vacation, right, and you're in Washington State, California, or Minnesota now, and you are there and your kid calls CPS or whatever, calls the cops, the state can actually take your kids away from you and put you into foster care.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's worse than that.
		Your 13-year-old kid is surfing on the internet and goes on TikTok.
		Gets exposed to the likes of Dylan Mulvaney.
		Dylan Mulvaney advocates these children drink alcohol.
		Haha, it's so much fun.
		Drink beer.
		Beer is fun.
		Advocates for many of- a lot of these ideas.
		Kid gets confused.
		The kid says, I can't talk to my parents because people online are telling me that my parents will get mad at me.
		Then someone messages them and says, if you want, I can drive you to Washington.
		Stranger on the internet drives the kid to Washington and says, we saved them.
unidentified		And the state says, yup, you sure did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		An internet stranger can kidnap your child, have them sterilized in another state, and that state says it's illegal.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But it's kidnapping in the state, I would imagine.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And do you think Joe Biden's DOJ would go after the person who did the kidnapping?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I doubt it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They won't do it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Of course they won't.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I would doubt it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I hope they would.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, come on.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The NYPD, they didn't arrest any of these people who are thrusting in front of children.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		They are a protected class.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		the police support it. The cops in New York. This is the funny thing about Back the Blue and all
		that stuff. I'm like, you realize that the left BLM, they're protesting Democrat cops in Democrat
		cities. I don't care about them. Like good. Look, when they come out and say defund the police,
		I'm like, yes, please do so. Now don't come to my, where I live and defund the police.
		Our cops are good because we live in MAGA country and our cops are MAGA cops. So like,
		they don't allow this. Now, to be fair, we do have, I was talking about this earlier,
		Jefferson County, which is Harper's Ferry has banned children being a part of drag shows as
		it's adult and sexually explicit.
		But Berkeley County doesn't, and recently in Martinsburg, West Virginia, they had a drag show where they invited children up on stage, and this is a dude wearing, like, overtly sexual stuff.
		Like, it is, I would call it overtly sexual, but not sexually explicit, is a fair way to put it.
		I would call it grooming.
		Introducing kink and foreplay to children. That's basically what they're
		doing.
		They did not get arrested and that's in West Virginia. So you still have their problems.
		But these cops in New York, this has been going on for decades. These New York cops like it.
		They're a part of it. They're there watching it happen going, yeah.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Do you think that there's anyone there that is, I mean, I'm sure there's a few that are against it,
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		but like, play it out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, absolutely not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		100% of the NYPD cops love it.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		You don't think they've game-planned it and they're just following orders?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The NYPD cops love it.
unidentified		Love.
unidentified		Love.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Well, you saw the San Francisco cops, right?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Like, they're marching in, doing the whole pride flag procession.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		NYPD took a knee for BLM.
		Okay?
		You, you, listen.
		You can tell me that you think, probably deep down inside, they're disturbed by what they had to do, but I'm kinda like, listen man, actions speak louder than words.
		If someone told you to, like, sniff durian, you'd be like, no, it's disgusting, right?
		If you were like, oh man, I really don't want to, but let me get in there and sniff it, I'm gonna be like, come on, you want to.
		And you're like, no, they're making me, if you really didn't want to do it, you wouldn't do it.
		Now there is, obviously there's nuance in all this, and there are certain things people don't want to do, they do, but I'm kind of like, look man, If you were in the NYPD, if you're in New York, and you know there are adult men, pedophiles, thrusting their genitals in front of children, and you're like, leave me out of that, at least I can say you're okay with it.
		The NYPD, these officers are okay with what's going on.
		The funny thing is, There's a story about a woman who goes around New York topless, and cops will arrest her for it.
		And then she sues them and wins because it is legal to be topless for women in New York City.
		Where are these cops during these events where these people are breaking the law explicitly?
		They don't care.
		Because the very least I can say, they may say they don't like it, fine, but they are okay with it.
		Me, I'm not.
		I'm not okay with it.
		I don't want to live in a place like that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		hierarchy. It's a dual application of the law. It's not the same thing, but it's the same attitude
		that people have when it comes to all the way up to the president and the president's kid.
		You know, the Democrats can get away with breaking the law, can get away with doing
		what would be illegal for you or me, and the reason is because of political opinions.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Always has been.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the J6 people are still in jail for trespassing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Did you know, I could be wrong about this, but we've been doing our research, and in West Virginia, it is illegal to cohabitate if you're not married.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Really?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm pretty sure the law, I don't know if there's been any rulings on it, but the law stands. You can look, you can
		pull it up right now. I think it's like chapter 61 or something, West Virginia criminal code. And the law just
		says what it says.
		It may be that there's a precedent where that nullified it or something, but I'm like, the law's still there.
		Nobody enforces it.
		That would be insane.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I think Massachusetts still has laws on the books that they called blue laws that were from back in the day.
		Things like, you're not allowed to have your store open on Sunday.
		And I don't know if they're still on the books, but when I was a kid, they were still on the books, and we made jokes because, you know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Imagine being a devout Catholic, angry that people are violating the Sabbath, and you're like, these liberals came in and got the cops to stop enforcing the Sabbath law, and there you go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Progress.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's likely that This particular topic will not have the same effect as violating the Sabbath, just because there is... Well, going after kids is different from having a job on Sunday.
		Exactly.
		You know, between that or whether it be the lax prosecution of people that commit violent crimes in cities and stuff like that, that stuff has a direct Result that people really are gonna notice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, did you did you find the law?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but it's it's a kind of wordy There's an abstinence divorce and void marriage section.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's also a bigamy section I like the law the first paragraph is like you shall not cohabitate if not married if you're Any person being married who during the life of the former sees a little show you're reading a different law Okay, then this would be this is sixty one Point eight I think is the one you were yeah, there's one specifically about cohabitation without marriage or whatever But anyway, my point is, in New York they don't enforce
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		these laws because it is socially acceptable in New York to do these things.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		No, we're talking about reactionism to the pendulum swinging and if it could swing back
		hard in the other direction inadvertently.
		I think the two things that really get my gut where I'm like, wow, I could see myself
		freaking out and becoming one of those pendulum things if I didn't have my head on straight
		is going after children with sex and store violence.
		People breaking into stores and just robbing the shelves.
		I'm like, yo, when- aren't they armed?
		Aren't these stores, like, don't they have armed defense?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Just do it.
unidentified		Like- Uh, oh yeah, I think my camera might- No, no, no, we're opening the door.
unidentified		Oh, cool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because there's no point to wait, the door's gonna be open.
		Yeah, because the AC's busted.
		It's like 83 or 84 degrees in here now, and I'm like, okay, we gotta open the door.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		I feel like three of these liquid desks are great.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's cozy.
		Like, when I find myself wondering, like, why aren't these shopkeepers armed?
		Three dudes walk in and they all have guns with them, and I'm like, the shopkeeper's just him versus a bunch of gun-armed dudes?
		It makes me want the shopkeeper to be armed, and then I'm, like, hoping he's able to defend himself.
		And it's like, I don't want to want that, but that's what I want when I see these people breaking and destroying businesses.
		I want these people, their livelihoods to survive.
		What's that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You want order!
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I do want order.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's the impulse that ends up having the right come in into place because... Baron Trump is gonna be like this brutal Iron Fist dictator.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's gonna be shameless.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Have you ever seen... He's the Red Caesar!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, have you seen the picture from the Denver airport of the kid with the Iron Fist?
		You know what I'm talking about?
		These conspiracy paintings from Denver?
		Let me pull up these conspiracy theory paintings, Denver paintings.
		I'll show you, man.
		It's all been pre-planned.
		Where are these pictures?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Barron Trump is a man.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm kidding, by the way, but I do want to show you these pictures.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, you could be kidding, but at the same time, you know, the Simpsons were kidding a lot, and then stuff happened.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		So, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, like, there are these creepy paintings that people always talk about.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like there's like a Nazi officer stabbing the dub of peace or whatever and people are cowering and crying and then there's like the earth being destroyed and animal like a penguin in a box.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's all religious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah it's like because I've gone extinct.
		Here's one.
		It's it's like new age like lefty religious iconography.
		And then there's uh where's the iron fist one?
		There's a kid let me let me look this up.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's Gnosticism.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Where's the kid?
		Iron Fist.
		Marvel stuff comes up.
		There's a kid raising a... I don't know where it is.
		Is this one it?
		Yeah, okay, there it is.
		There it is.
		You can't really see him.
		It's a German kid, it looks like.
		And he's got an iron fist and he's raising it up for peace or whatever.
		Anyway, I'm kidding.
		But like, you know, that's the joke that it's gonna be like 10 or... It's gonna be like 20 or 30 years and Barron Trump is gonna like... He's gonna... Hey, we're gonna bring order and he gets elected and then he's the dictator.
		Scary, but I mean... I really don't think Barron Trump's gonna be president or anything like that.
		I'm just kidding.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I would like to meet him.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		So if you go... The Atlantic ran this article in 1926, and you can find the actual copy of it, but it was about the dissolution of marriage and the abolition of family in the Soviet Union.
		They had a reporter go over, and she went to all these little towns.
		They basically made marriage dissolution a five-minute process.
		No fault.
		Anyone could go in.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Hey, didn't Reagan do that?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's right.
		I think they were the first state of California.
		That's exactly right.
		So, in this article, it has stories from the villagers who are saying, this is insane.
		What was happening is, these guys would go, and they'd knock up these women after marrying them, and then they'd just abandon them.
		And you would have these entire towns and cities being ransacked by these criminal orphans.
		Right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And... Kind of like what's happening now.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Exactly!
		Exactly!
		This is exactly what we're going through.
		It's been a longer process in the United States.
		I mean, we've had, what, no-fault divorce for 70 years, about?
		But this is exactly what we're... Is it the 80s?
		No, it was in, like, the 50s and 60s when they started doing, like, striking it down through the courts, I think.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it was Reagan who explicitly got rid of no-fault divorce.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		But he did it when he was governor of California, I think.
		I don't think there was a federal Dissolution of Marriage Act.
		I think the states started doing it.
		But it's exactly what we're going through right now.
		And it's so crazy.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		None of the ideas that come from the left are significantly different than any of the ideas that were coming from the left a hundred years ago.
		They're just dressed differently.
		Instead of having bourgeoisie and the proletariat, now they've made it more like the Nazis did and it's all race-based and stuff now.
		But the ideas and the prescriptions are still the same.
		The socialist ideal is to remake man so that way man desires to be a social animal, a socialist in his very core.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But don't they see that stripping the family apart is bad for the kids and therefore bad for the society?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They do not.
		Because if all of your family is humanity because you're a socialist, you don't need a mom and a dad because all of the adults have the correct socialist opinions that they can just pass on to the children.
		And then the children will teach the adults and the adults will teach the children.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We talked about this on the Culture War podcasts when we were talking with Zach Voorhees on AI and stuff.
		And the way I described it was, think about the human body.
		There are single-celled organisms all over everything.
		Those little single-celled organisms are little individuals that run around doing little who-knows-what.
		Then you get multi-celled organisms.
		The human body has a whole bunch of cells.
		They all must do their job.
		What do you call a cell in the human body that deviates from its job?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Cancer.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Abhorrent!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You call it cancer.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And what does the body do to things that deviate from their prescribed job?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Eat them!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Destroys them.
		Sometimes it does not, and the cancer eventually destroys the body, and it ends it.
		The way I would describe the modern left is they want to create a human civilization that functions much in this way, in that you will be born and given your task and you will never deviate or else.
		They want to turn the human system of individuals into an organism system where everyone functions much like a cell and does their assigned job, period.
		And with genetic modification and engineering, CRISPR and all that stuff, you'll get to the
		point where you will have bread enforcers, like China's doing with super soldiers.
		You will have bread miners, bread analysts.
		You'll be born.
		It's like the plot of Man of Steel.
		Have you guys seen that?
		Where on Krypton, they evolved to the point where they started genetically engineering
		people for their specific jobs.
		And he was, you know, they say that Kal-El, Superman, is the first natural birth in like
		100 years or whatever and then Zod is like BLASPHEMY!
		That's the world they want to create.
		You will be a white blood cell.
		Your job is to eliminate free radicals and intruders, and you will never be anything else.
		Your job is the red blood cell.
		You will carry the oxygen, you will oxidize, etc., etc.
		They will give you your task, and you will never deviate.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's not good, because diversity is one of our strengths.
		Even on an individual level, man.
		You're supposed to be able to be an astronaut, and a musician, and a teacher.
		Like, all those things.
		You can do all that stuff.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It never, ever works out like that.
		Like the idea that once you get to the socialist utopia you can, you know, do your slam poetry and be an artist?
		No.
		Get in the mine.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're the free radicals.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They would call themselves free radicals.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Hey, I can confirm 50 years ago, it was 54, uh, no-fault divorce.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		1969 in California, Ronald Reagan signed the first no-fault divorce statute.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You're right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I thought it was when he was president.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		And then I guess he did it again when he was president nationally?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Is that the story?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I don't think he did.
		I don't think there's anything nationally.
		I think it's just like the courts all started striking it down a lot like the gay marriage progress.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		And now in all 50 states, there's no-fault divorce.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		So what, do we reverse this no-fault divorce thing?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		Absolutely.
		This is what I was describing.
		I said, how about we do this?
		You can keep your no-fault divorce, but we'll create something called supermarriage.
		Where if you agree to it, first you get married.
		Once you're married, you can then upgrade to the courts to a supermarriage.
		And you can't break a supermarriage.
		Sorry, it's till death do us part.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		So in Louisiana, we're trying to figure out how to solve this too.
		Louisiana has something called covenant marriage.
		And it's not like what you just described where you could upgrade your marriage.
		You either enter into a state marriage, a government marriage, or you enter into a covenant marriage.
		And you don't abide by no-fault divorce.
		But the numbers for it are not impressive.
		And so there needs to be more like a marketing campaign for it.
		I need to look more into it, to be honest.
		I don't know if they've tried to market it.
		But you would think that women would demand that their husband or their fiancé enters into that extra protection of marriage.
		But I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Marriage today has been downgraded to dating.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		It's like Disney.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like you see the celebrities like they're married for a year.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm like, bro, what's the point of saying till death do us part if you actually mean like we'll see how it goes.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Garbage.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, marriage doesn't exist.
		No fault divorce ended marriage.
		Now we have something we call marriage, but there's no marriage.
		And surprise, surprise, we're heading in a similar direction to the Soviets.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Slower, you know, because we do have protections from the Constitution and things like that, but it's happening.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, aspects of it I guess, but I mean... But yeah, it's not like we're just in the Soviet Union.
		It never just happens overnight.
		It's slowly and incrementally.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Oh, speaking of, this Russian revolution that was happening, apparently, that was like, I think they both realized, this is when, what's his name?
		Putin's best friend of 23 years who was running the mercenaries turned on Moscow and they're like, oh, he's going to overthrow the country.
		It's going to be another Russian revolution like 1917.
		And I think they both realized that and were like, we got to call this thing off.
		I heard they were going to disband the mercenary group and that's why they revolted.
		And then they're like, no, okay, we're not going to disband you.
		It could be all fake news.
		I don't know.
		They're afraid of another Russian revolution.
		At least it seemed like it.
		What do you say, Bill?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I'm afraid.
		I mean, I don't know, but I think that the I think the United States not doing something, had there been actual conflict between Wagner and state forces, I think that would have drawn the U.S.
		into some kind of—or at least made the neocons say, look, we really need to get some kind of boots on the ground to control the situation, because of the fact that they have so many nuclear weapons, and the United States would feel like we need to control that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think the United States, as an institution— That's not an endorsement, either.
		—is Swiss cheese.
		It is, I imagine, a piece of paper in which several points of it have been lightly ignited and are just burning to embers from the inside out.
		The fact that we have this conflict in Eastern Europe that makes literally no sense for the most part, it's a failed liberal economic order led by the US and Western powers that's failing and makes no sense, struggling.
		The fact that Donald Trump even got elected shows that the deep state, you know, permanent government powers at BF failed.
		The children who inherited this machine don't know how to run it.
		The fact that you have this Bolshevik-style family destruction happening in this country, all of the institutions of this country are crumbling, including the military, the foreign empirical structures, and all that stuff.
		And I'm just like, You know, that's what I think a lot of these leftists want.
		They want it to just crumble and collapse.
		I'm sure Russia and China are happy to see it happen as well and are probably fanning the flames online.
		TikTok, I think, intentionally does this.
		And it's annoying to me when I see the Republicans being like, we should ban TikTok for data privacy concerns.
		And I'm like, no, you should do it because they're indoctrinating your kids to self-harm.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		And it's horrifying. They always do that though. Like the Republicans will like look at the
		national debt debate, right? They talk about fiscal sanity and fiscal responsibility. We've
		had trillion dollar deficits for what's it's Bill Clinton, I think that was the first one.
		If you want to cut the deficit, you want to cut the debt, start arguing in terms of morality.
		Argue against how these programs that we're funding are killing the country and how it's hurting us.
		That is the way to do it.
		That's exactly right.
		TikTok is bad because it's hurting our kids, not because they're taking our data.
		No one cares about that.
		It's too esoteric or niche.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		No one knows for sure if it's what they're doing.
		That's the big problem.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, we do know for sure it's what they're doing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's explicit that they're doing it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's inductive.
		Like, we don't have access to the code, so we can't verify that it's intentionally doing it.
		It might just be that they could be like, oh, this is the outcome.
		I didn't say intentionally.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I said they are doing it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		TikTok is.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I guess that's true.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And to be fair, like to an extent YouTube as well, but TikTok being the worst and being
		owned by our foreign, a principal foreign adversary, uh, indirectly, I mean, but basically,
		yes, it is.
		So they, they, they promote videos that cause kids to, to self-harm.
		Like, it could be a thing where if I... And they ban people who push back against it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It could be, like, and I think it is nefarious, personally.
		I think that they're using it like a fifth-generational warfare tactic, but it could be the kind of thing where, like, if I'm dropping rocks on the ground and then they're rolling down the hill and you're like, Ian's rolling hills down the ground!
		And I don't even realize it, I'm just dropping the rocks.
		They just happen to be rolling.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Ian.
		So... If you were on top of a hill and you were throwing rocks down it, it doesn't matter what your intention is.
		Exactly, I don't know what their intention is... The law enforcement would stop you from doing it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I assume their intention is that they want to corrupt the youth of the United States and the rest of the globe to fall in line with Chinese economics.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think they want the U.S.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		to crumble.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Well, TikTok's different in China, isn't it?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		I've read about this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They don't have TikTok in China.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's a similar but different thing.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's like Sesame Street, though.
		Like, for kids.
		Like, they have, like, educational stuff.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's not... It's a little exaggerated when people say, like, theirs is perfect and ours is bad.
		They don't have TikTok.
		They have a different company that does something similar.
		They have their own version of it.
		But they own ours and ours is weaponized against us.
		Has been weaponized to cause us harm.
		So, but mostly yes.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and that's why it should be banned.
		But anyway, Republicans are mostly controlled opposition.
		So what do I ultimately think is where we're headed for?
		I think the U.S.' 's position as the leader of the liberal economic order, or the global economic order, whatever they want to call it, it's going to be over.
		I think the U.S.
		will probably go back to more humble roots.
		It's a simple way to put it.
		I don't see the system being sustainable.
		It's about to collapse.
		I'm not saying your life will end and the world will burst into flames.
		I'm saying Probably don't want to be in a city.
		Probably want to get a nice little piece of land with some chickens or something on it, some goats, maybe have a little garden.
		Because good luck if you're in a city.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of countries that are moving away from the dollar that are looking to buy oil and other forms of currency and stuff.
		That's probably the most salient evidence that the United States has lost its, or at least the dollar's lost its luster, that people around the globe are looking to move away from alliances with the U.S.
		And, you know, you can point to any number of political follies that the government has engaged in in the past 15, 20 years.
		If the dollar is not the reserve currency, then the value of the dollar is going to be destroyed, not just because of how many we printed up, but because we're no longer the country that maintains hegemony throughout the world.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Alex, we're actually going to talk about Alex Jones I just saw in the next clip, but he was on Patrick Bette David's show and was talking about, like, this war in Russia, or this revolution potentially going on in Russia where they're—Prigogine, I think, is the name of the guy who runs, what is it, Wagner Group?
		And he was like, well, I don't need—he asked them genuinely, like, would we be better off if some new regime took over in Russia that was sympathetic to the West?
		And they didn't have an answer, but I thought, Yes, we wouldn't be killing each other anymore, but it would become techno-fascism way more rapidly.
		Like, they want a peaceful world where people are plugged into machines.
		They don't want fighting, they don't want killing, they don't want blowing up.
		They want everyone to be subservient as much as possible.
		And I think it would be better than warfare.
		It might be the next step of our evolution, but it might also just become a pressure cooker.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's jump to this next story from timgaz.com.
		Alex Jones says Deep State will try to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
		Radio show host says that corrupt government actors will never allow Trump to make good on a promise to prosecute them for their criminal activity.
		You know what I find so interesting is that RFK Jr.
		said something similar recently.
		He said that he has to be aware of what they did to his uncle and his dad, right?
		And so he's like, it's a very real possibility.
		We've come to a point Call it whatever you want.
		Believe whatever you want to believe.
		The left can say far-right conspiracy theory.
		Whatever.
		It's come to the point where high-profile personalities in this country, including one presidential contender himself, RFK, are afraid that there is a potential assassination looming for two different prominent high-profile contenders.
		And dare I say, frontrunners.
		When we're talking about, like, let's say the top five candidates who could win.
		R.F.K.
		Jr., they may call him fringe, they may say it's never gonna happen, but he's polling really well.
		And so he's certainly polling better than any other Republican outside of Trump and DeSantis.
		And I think he's got more favorability than all other candidates.
		Now you got Alex Jones saying this, and a lot of people will say, oh, but Alex Jones is crazy.
		And I'm like, listen, We know that they're going to try to... I'm sorry, try to?
		They're literally prosecuting Trump.
		I don't know about going this far, but it's been said by other people and it's been said before, and if RFK is saying something similar himself, it just... I don't know, does it speak to the times?
		Does it speak to the times that we're in?
		That we're at this point?
		I was just talking about how the institution of this country is Swiss cheese.
		Like, the fabric of this nation is being burned out from the inside, and it's fumbling and breaking apart.
		Could you have ever believed 10 years ago that we'd get to a point where a contender for the presidency would say he fears assassination and when there's actual talk in the political space among high-profile shows of a of the former president who is running potentially being assassinated like people wouldn't believe you if you said that's where we'd be
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Or maybe you would, I don't know.
		You mentioned earlier the left having a problem with this.
		The left is in no position to make comments about whether or not the CIA will or will not do something, because the CIA has been the boogeyman of the left for literally ever.
		If you ask anyone that's an actual leftist why socialism has not taken hold globally, it is Going to be the CIA.
		That's what they're going to say.
		They're going to blame CIA.
		They do it all the time.
		So, the idea that the left would reject a conspiracy theory about the CIA killing a president or possibly... No, no, no.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		They love the CIA now.
		They love the FBI now.
		Because they control it.
		But took it over.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The general umbrella left.
		Not leftists.
		Like, fringe leftists still don't like him.
		They hate the United States, they hate his institutions.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I get that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But like, the liberals who used to pretend to align with the left, now absolutely.
		But I wonder, is this our last presidential election?
		And I mean that in a hyperbolic sense.
		Like, is this going to be a tumultuous and strange election that breaks the routine we've expected of every four years?
		In that, it's not going to be Joe Biden.
		The way the reporters are coming after him, the way the Hunter Biden scandal's going, I'm hearing that Joe's lawyered up already.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's going to be Michelle Obama and Gavin Newsom.
		And Michelle's going to win.
		It's going to be Michelle.
		She's going to dominate.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's what Alex was saying.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He thinks it's going to be Michelle?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He was like, it's either going to be Michelle or Michelle Gavin.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I've been saying something similar, too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, if Michelle Obama ran, I said this in 2020.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		And then Obama will run the office from his basement in his sweats, just like he joked about wanting to do.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But the question is, do they have the wherewithal to maintain the machine that they've failed to maintain for the past eight years?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I think so.
		I think Michelle's the kind of person that can be shocked out of it.
		Like, her and Barack are like asleep in the machine, but I sense their humanity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's not a single person.
		We're talking about... Look, Donald Trump should not have gotten elected.
		It was supposed to be Hillary Clinton.
		And Trump won because they screwed up bad.
		2020 comes around and they went insane in their panic and desperation to the point where Boston Globe reported they entertained the possibility of the West Coast seceding from the Union if Trump won again.
		Now, 2024 is coming around, and Trump's in the polls doing really well, and they know Biden ain't got it.
		So what do they have?
		You're right, last-ditch effort, Michelle Obama.
		But can, even with a Michelle Obama, can they muster up the machine they need to defeat Donald Trump?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		If they can do it with Biden, they can do it with Michelle.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That was during COVID.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but I like Michelle, man, and I'm not registered Democrat or any of that, but I really like that girl.
		I think she's really smart.
		She's the reason Barack ever had the confidence to become president.
		She has two great kids, as far as I can tell.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What does that have to do with anything?
unidentified		Disavow.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I think she'd be a good leader.
		I mean, I think she's stable.
		I think she's willing to say no to the crap, the bad stuff, and overturn what's gone too far.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Barack Obama.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Killed a 16-year-old American kid.
unidentified		I don't know.
unidentified		That's political command, but I don't like it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		See, I think Michelle Obama will be a despotic tyrant with a smile on her face, just like Barack Obama.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Well, they all are.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All the presidents turn out to be that way.
		I'm not gonna get behind them.
		And this is the funny thing, because I got the DeSantis people who are all mad at me, and they lie so much!
		Holy crap!
		They're tweeting about claiming that I said Trump will magically change his behavior and become the best president.
		I'm like, when did I say that?
		I said he has a slightly higher chance of firing people.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's it!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I want to see the corruption dismantled.
		And is Trump going to be the greatest president of all time?
		No.
		On foreign policy, maybe.
		But that's just one specific area.
		There's a lot of bad things he did in foreign policy as well.
		But in terms of firing corruption, ripping it from the system, Trump wants revenge.
		I'll take what I can get.
		Does it mean he's going to be good?
		No.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		The problem with that is that he announced it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That he announced he was going to go in and arrest all these people.
unidentified		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dude, you don't show your- That's why I won't vote for him.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But that's why they won't let him win.
		Because you can't show your hand beforehand and be like, these are my secret plans.
		Once I get in, I'm going to end your career.
		You're like, no, they're not going to let you get in, dude.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He did play ball.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The first time around.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		He tried, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He tried playing ball.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		He thought it was going to be a traditional American presidency, and that was his big miscalculation.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		And he brought in people we didn't like, and we criticized him for it, and he kept people on that he should have fired, and we criticized him for it because he thought, I'm going to work with them to the best of my abilities, and I'm going to do my agenda, and they were not having it.
		Now he's like, I realize the truth.
		They must be dismantled.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and I'm not saying he's wrong or right.
		I'm not saying he's wrong, but he should not, in my opinion, he should not have said that out loud.
		He should have went in there, won the job, and then did it without telling anyone he was coming.
		Because if they know you're coming, they're going to fortify.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But they did!
		They accused him of being a traitor working for the Soviet Union!
		Not even Russia!
		The Soviet Union!
		Jonathan Chaik goes on MSNBC and he's like, Trump might be a Soviet.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		The Soviet Union doesn't exist!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He didn't say that explicitly.
		He said, Trump may have been a Russian asset going back to the 80s.
		Okay, that would mean he was a Soviet asset, you know.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Meanwhile, the Dems in this country, there was a letter from Ted Kennedy to the Soviets asking them to help fight against Reagan in the early 80s.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Like, it was always the Dems that had aligned with the Soviets and they were always partners.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Didn't Bernie Sanders go on vacation in the Soviet Union?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		So it was great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like people are disappearing, dying, being beaten.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		There were plenty of people in the West that were very prepared to write apology pieces for the Soviet Union.
		There were people at the New York Times, I forget the guy's name, he was writing during the... Holodomor.
		Not sure.
		Well, the Holland War, yes, but I was thinking about something that someone was writing, just writing glowing pieces about Stalin, and he was at the New York Times, like, writing great pieces about Stalin while Stalin was, you know, killing millions of people and throwing people in the gulags, and while the gulag system was at its At its peak there were people in the West writing glowing pieces about Stalin because they believe in the ideology and they believed whatever you need to do to get to the communist utopia to remake man as a socialist was fine.
		That's the reason why Why the left always makes excuses for the horrors and atrocities that the left does is because if we just get past this hard part, if we just get past the part where a bunch of people die, then we'll have remade society into a socialist utopia and then we'll have the perfect society that we all, where everyone has what they need and etc.
		So it'll be worth killing off this many people or whatever because once we get Look, they want to eliminate free radicals to create what I would describe as an organism system.
		They want the people who are like, I would like to be an accountant and nothing more.
		and that's why you end up with dozens of millions dead.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look, they want to eliminate free radicals to create what I would describe as a organism system.
		They want the people who are like, I would like to be an accountant and nothing more.
		And then they want that person to stay in their box and do what they're told.
		We're free radicals.
		We're bouncing around doing all this crazy individualism stuff.
		That's bad for the expansion of the machine into a higher state.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But it is good for America.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's good for humanity, the world, for human progress.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A decentralized system is better than a centralized one.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		No, Elon Musk said this, right?
		Because then it's better it's not decentralized because then not everything goes to hell, right?
		Not everything fails at the same time.
		You want diversity when it comes to nations.
		You don't want one world government.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's think of it this way.
		A little single-celled organism runs around and lives its life.
		It's fine.
		It eats, it lives, it dies.
		It happens.
		If the cell next to it dies, it's fine.
		Ah, but in a human, if a clump of cells in one part of the body fails, every other cell dies off.
		That's the risk of a centralized system.
		If a human dies, it causes damage to the greater system.
		Let's say the human's a farmer.
		Farmer dies.
		Okay, well someone's got to pick up the slack and replace that person.
		That happens in a body like normal.
		A cell can die off and then it gets replaced by another one.
		However, if we centralize everything, then the risk of catastrophic cascade failure exponentially increases, because you cannot replace an accountant with a plumber.
		In a decentralized system, it's much easier to fill gaps more fluid, like water, and less rigid.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I guess you have an amalgam of a centralized, decentralized system.
		So just like a human body, you have a brain, which is kind of a pseudo-centralized area of the system.
		You have a heart, you have a stomach, all these like minor centralizations.
		So like in any truly decentralized system, you have larger nodes, which tend to be seemingly a little more of a central area where more people are coagulating.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But if one node fails, it can be replicated, replaced.
		Well, the machine won't.
		The whole system doesn't collapse.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you don't want to rely on any one area of the system ever.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		If you have to rely on one area for the system to function, that's a big vulnerability.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's like, we have two kidneys.
		If one fails, we might survive.
		You know, we probably will with one.
		You know?
		Think about that in terms of, I want to centralize humanity into one big machine, one big system.
		You get one centralized node failing that can't be replicated and the machine will collapse.
		Humanity collapses.
		And that has to build itself back up from the ashes.
		I think decentralization works way better in terms of everything.
		The speed of progress, especially.
		The happiness of people in general.
		The Soviet Union didn't work!
		People were miserable!
		They were starving, they were miserable, and the greatest point made is, when the Berlin Wall came down, which side ran to which side?
		It's fairly obvious.
		Why would you want to live in a system where you're just suffering the whole time?
		You wouldn't.
		Now, the idea of the Communists is, get rid of the free radicals, find the cogs who are blind and happy to be blind, and they will be happy and they will owe nothing.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I always thought it was weird how they went after the intelligentsia in the Soviet Union.
		I was like, why?
		They're the ones that would challenge the system.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Free radicals.
		Gotta get rid of the free radicals, man.
		Antioxidants.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		One problem with decentralization is in finance.
		If you truly have a decentralized financial system, then there's no organized currency.
		And without organized currency, it's almost like we don't really have a country.
		Without a unified dollar.
		So if everyone had their own currency, Ian coin, Phil coin, Terry, I don't know.
		I think that would be a lot more chaotic and therefore potentially destructive of a world to live in.
		So in that, I value currency centralization, but I don't want a central bank controlling all the flow.
		You need checks and balances if you're going to have a central system.
		So you need to audit the Federal Reserve and anything that's attempting to control the money.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or get rid of it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you could.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But change it for something else, like that Indiana Jones move where he puts the bag of sand on it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I think the Federal Reserve is a control mechanism that creates slavery through ignorance.
		People can't... You do work.
		You save object of value.
		Object of value retains value.
		You can later trade it because you did the work to produce the value.
		With the Federal Reserve, quantitative easing, the mass printing of money, and the controlling of interest rates, you do work.
		Thing of value slowly degrades over time, so you have to have to keep working forever.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		So crazy, dude.
		They loan money to the banks at interest.
		Then the banks loan that money to humans, to us, to the people that don't work at the banks, for more interest.
		So then the people at the bottom have to pay back this huge interest chunk to the banks so that they get a cut, then they pay back the rest of the interest to the Federal Reserve, these global bankers, so that they take the rest of the cut.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's not how money works anymore.
		You don't have to pay back money to the Federal Reserve.
		The Federal Reserve just takes money out of circulation.
		And destroy.
		You're not paying it back, they're just destroying the actual business.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Money is created by banks upon the issuance of debt.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So every time you suck your credit card, money is created.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the Federal Reserve will offer promissory notes to the banks.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Banks promise to pay back.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There is a little bit of that, but it's not the typical means of monetary expansion.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Three or four years ago, the Fed started paying interest to banks on their reserves.
		Last year, I think it was like $300 billion in interest payments that the Federal Reserve paid to banks nationally so that they would sit on reserves.
		It's a totally new thing, and it's inflationary.
		The Federal Reserve makes no sense anymore.
		They're operating in all different types of ways.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I got an easy one for you.
		I was out the whole week trying to promote it, but go to TimCast.com, scroll down to the menu, you can see we have a documentary section, and you can watch Game of Money by Ben Stewart explaining How this all works.
		And breaking down the financial system and... Right.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		So since they went on infinite reserve currency where they can print infinite amounts... I think it went back.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Didn't it go back?
		Someone mentioned they rescinded that policy.
		It was like an emergency.
		I don't know.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It could be wrong.
unidentified		Maybe.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It was March 2020 that they put it on.
unidentified		Yeah.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But I haven't seen a documentary on it since they did that.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		So I'm looking forward to seeing it.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Are you talking about the debt ceiling?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Game of money available at TPS.com.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		No, the way the Federal Reserve used to have fractional reserve lending where banks would have... So you could loan $100 to someone and they could loan out $90.
		Yeah, that's a good one.
		Yeah, that's infinite reserve.
		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, every time you swipe your credit card, you've created that money.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there's no risk.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The money is created.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The money given to that grocery store, you swipe your credit card for a hundred bucks, that money is manufactured and dropped in their account.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		There's people that make the argument that it's not even technically money that you have in your wallet or in your bank accounts and stuff because it's not a commodity.
		Money is supposed to be a commodity.
		It doesn't represent anything except for the promise of the government.
		So I don't have a deep knowledge on this type of stuff, but the difference between currency, which is just facilitating financial transactions, that is a different thing to money, which some people say only gold or something that has value like Bitcoin or whatever would be considered actual money.
		And then now you're just left with paper currencies that are facilitating transactions, but not actually holding any value of their own.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		Yeah, there's no savings.
		Savings is gone.
		In order to save now, you have to cross your fingers that something will retain value, maybe gold.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you need to make money to keep up with inflation if you want to produce any sort of save.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You need to be at least increasing your money at the rate of inflation.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's kind of sad.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But I think there's a lot of issues that come with massive population expansion of humanity that have allowed evil people to exploit to maintain massive levels of power never before seen.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		We don't have to always use money.
		There used to not be money.
		I don't know how many hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of years ago.
		Humans invented the idea of currency at one point.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Money's good because otherwise you've got to find someone that wants your fish.
		Or your chicken or your eggs because you're looking to trick because all money does all money is is something that has a Right now it says it's a subjective value But it has a value and that you can use to trade for other things because without money you can't like you got a chicken and you want shoes you got to find someone that has shoes you like that also wants your chicken and But then you also gotta figure out how many chickens you need for shoes.
		Exactly.
		Money is just a lubricant.
		Money just lubricates social transactions.
		And that's one of the things that people don't understand when they talk about people like Elon Musk.
		Oh, he's got so much money and blah blah blah.
		Elon Musk is worth that because he owns rockets.
		Like actual rockets that go into space.
		And he owns cars.
		And he owns factories that make cars.
		He owns stock in the company.
		And that's where the value is.
		It's not in the dollars that he has.
		The dollars are just a means of transaction.
		It's just accounting.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Do you think that we're headed towards a future where we evolve away past money, where we have infinite access to electricity?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I object to the term evolve because it implies that it's somehow a biological result or something biologically that would happen and human beings don't evolve unless there are outside forces making them that do that make selection like it takes outside forces for natural selection to happen so it's not actually evolution like you may you can call it progressing or you can call it changing but when you say evolution or evolve not the right word
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It comes to mind that there is an outside force creating a change in the species.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's what that's maybe from one strata.
		You would be like, hey, they evolved to do a new thing, but from within it doesn't feel
		we're not actually it's not.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's like human beings don't change.
		And the problem with that is the idea is like, oh, it means we need to remake man.
		And it comes back to the problems with socialism.
		You cannot remake man.
		And if the last thing that humans want to try is to create conditions to force an evolutionary
		response because that means dead people.
		You don't get an evolutionary response unless you have generations and generations of dead people.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I'm so worked up about the banking, the global banking system.
		Like, it got to this point where it's centralized at this Bank for International Settlements that these small group of people are attempting to control the world with money.
		Like, are we just done?
unidentified		Attempting?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Are we headed toward?
		Yeah, exactly!
		Like, if you want to talk about God on Earth, like, that's the money.
		People have misused, misaligned, and care so much about making money that it's more about, you know, being connected with God for some people.
		But like, I just can't imagine a just system involving money, seeing how it's gone in the last 600 years, that it would ever be able to redo it and start it and make it.
		This time it's going to work out.
		But then it just falls into the hands of somebody in the middle.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, I can't.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It doesn't.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But how do you know somebody who doesn't own 51%?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Early on I feared that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		At this point I do not fear that.
unidentified		Really?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		How do you know though?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because there's competition.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		International competition between adversarial nations is too much that they're fighting over it, but it does not work.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But like if they could print up six trillion bucks tomorrow from the Federal Reserve and buy Bitcoin with it, there's only like two trillion dollars worth of Bitcoin on Earth.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's possible.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		They've printed up five trillion in the last seven years.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It just seems like a pittance of potential for centralization.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There are ways to destroy it.
		Nothing's invincible.
		But I just...
		Whether it's Bitcoin or an advanced technology of a similar method.
		The decentralized blockchain concept is strong.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Advanced technology being everyone has infinite electricity.
		Would that be even worse?
		Would we create monkeys with insane amounts of power and we would just kill each other off?
		Everyone had like a vibrating generator that gave unlimited electricity.
		You could create water with it.
		You could fuse hydrogen.
		You could create food with it.
		You could make oil out of it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It would destroy the world.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You think if everyone just got that it would just destroy everything?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think if you could convert, if you could create instant fusion to create water, you'd create massive displacement of the ecosystem.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Then there's an argument that centralization on purpose is valuable.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That we're actually creating gatekeepers intentionally to keep us alive.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nah, we need to build rockets.
		Decentralization is a faster method of developing technologies and preserving society.
		It's a better means of coming up with ideas to avert crises as opposed to one centralized committee, right?
		There's a benefit in a military context of having an emergency emperor, right?
		You need someone to make quick decisions and just get the job done ASAP.
		But that's simple.
		Knowing your borders, knowing your troop counts, that makes sense.
		What if a meteor is headed towards the Earth?
		Having one guy be like, okay, everybody build rockets is probably not the best idea.
		Having each different nation put all of their resources towards trying to find a way to divert or destroy the meteor, and then coordinating in a decentralized manner is probably a more effective means, in my opinion.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		So similar to like a decentralized system where you have large nodes on the system, you know, per meter?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Coordinating but not controlled, you know?
		Like, here's the way I look at it.
		One gigantic fist trying to smash through a gate or water being poured through.
		The water will find a way to seep through the cracks and make it to the other side.
		That's decentralization.
		All the different droplets trying different methods of breaking through and getting to the other side versus hyper-focusing one at one point and then hitting the wall and missing.
		You know what I mean?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, oh yeah.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, let's go to Super Chats and see what the audience has to say, so smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com, because we're gonna have a members-only uncensored show, which is, uh, oh boy.
		We got Snopes'd!
		Snopes said, uh, were they chanting we're coming for your children?
		True, they were.
		And we're gonna show you videos that you're gonna be upset about seeing, but they need to be shown.
		And, um, Yeah, we'll talk about what they're doing at these events at TimCast.com in just about 25 minutes.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Elad actually... Elad texted me during the show about that, exactly.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, the Snopes thing?
		Yeah, exactly.
		Interestingly, it's funny because this video's gone so viral and there's no watermark on it.
		So, a lot of people properly attribute it, like Marjorie Taylor Greene posted the video and it says, from TimCastNews, she did it the proper way, I really do appreciate it.
		I'm not gonna cry, you know, I was getting hit up and they were like, oh, look, all these people are downloading the video and they're stealing it, and I'm like, dude, the point of having a journalist go film it was so that everyone would see it.
		What does credit do for us?
		You know what I mean?
		Like, I'm not gonna make money off the video we posted and said, everyone, quick, look at this!
		Now give me money!
		No, no, no.
		It's more like, look at it and tell your friends.
		But, that being said, 10 years ago, me and my buddy Isaac put together an app called Tagly, which no longer exists, but I still have on my phone, which when you take a photo or video, instantly applies any text, date, and location to it.
		And so I'm like, okay, we need to bring this app back and get a lot of this app.
		So, the way the app works is you walk around, take a picture, The picture that is instantly saved to your camera roll will say whatever text, time, date, location.
		So you can put at Timcast on it.
		And then you take a picture, click upload, and the bottom left of the picture will have the tag and the metadata has all the information in it too.
		And then we were working on another function of it.
		Where it would create a fingerprint for every photo to create an encryption key, basically proving the rights and ownership of it.
		Basically like what NFTs sort of became, or sort of are.
		And we were talking about doing this ten years ago, and we ran out of money, so we stopped.
		Isaac?
		We gotta bring it back, because Elad needs it.
		But anyway, let's read.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Alright!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm not your buddy guy says great trick in beating voter fraud is by doing ballot harvesting.
		Can you imagine the consequences of two ballots existing for the same person yet two different signatures?
		Well yeah, just get everybody to vote.
		It's that simple, huh?
		Purple says, Welcome back, Tim.
		Friday morning show was amazing.
		And this Friday's show is going to be equally as amazing.
		I think we should publicize our guests for the Culture War.
		We don't do it for IRL because people can cancel.
		But I think because the point of the Culture War is to bring on two prominent personalities to have a discussion, debate, etc.
		I think Monday we should start the promo for Friday.
		So it's gonna be live in the morning, Friday morning.
		We got two really awesome guests and we're gonna have a very heated, silly, but fun and serious, in a lot of ways, conversation.
		And we're doing it every week.
		So we got some really big one planned.
		We got some celebrities coming.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, literally.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's gonna be crazy.
		I think it'll be heated but they're not gonna be disingenuous and yeah no I think that yeah this one's gonna be real like the genuine idea for the show with Emma and Sean was when she has to come on a few weeks before I was like yeah we'll have we'll find somebody to have a conversation with and she agreed and then I You should've figured they were just gonna make it about me or whatever.
		But the point of the show is not for being- it's not the Tim Pool Debates Random People show.
		So we have two people who are coming on, and I'm mostly gonna be moderating.
		And you know, but we'll be a part of the conversation.
		It's not gonna be as rigid of a debate format.
		But we've got a left and a right person that are coming on, and fairly prominent on each side.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's gonna be a thousand times better than Emma.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's gonna be like, so esoteric, You know, it's gonna be, like, I think it'll be higher level political discourse, but I do think there will be some invective.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, that makes sense.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		It'll be interesting.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		It will be.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Alright, where are we at?
		Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
		says, Tim, I showed my affluent white female liberal aunts the old dude Tidy Whitey video.
		They think it's disgusting, told me to stop showing it, and they still can't grasp how it's them voting them is what brings this debauchery.
		I mean, the point is you show it to them and say, do you support this?
		And they say, no, but okay, so we agree with each other.
		That's good.
		Thank you.
		I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page.
		It's to open the door.
		To be like, look, if you like this video, then I don't think we can agree on anything.
		Oh, you don't like it?
		You see, now we got something we can work together on.
		And then ask them, do you think we should stop it from happening?
		Or do you think we should allow it to happen?
		What do you think?
		Let's grab some more Super Chats.
		Purple says the French roast is bomb, not gonna lie.
		Cast proof for life.
		It all is ridiculously good.
		I can't even.
		I can't even.
		I just can't even.
		I gotta tell you.
		The Appalachian Nights.
		We got samples.
		We tried different blends.
		We put this blend together for a robust dark blend.
		It's very dark.
		It is the best coffee I've ever had.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's your favorite one?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Favorite coffee, period.
		Like, of anything I've ever had.
		We've had a bunch of different coffees come through this place, and I'm like, eh, it's good.
		This one?
		Okay, here's what I do.
		In the morning, I make a cup of coffee, and I slowly drink it over the course of two hours.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		What do you put in it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Heavy cream, that's it.
		I make coffee, and then I put in, like, a fourth cup of heavy cream.
		Like, an absurd amount of heavy cream.
		Yeah, very cream.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		It's good!
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		It's the way to drink coffee these days.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, it's like, you know, it's keto.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I cut out the sugar, and then I do a lot of Fats.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Do you stir hard or use one of those stir, like zing, those spinning things?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I just stir with a spoon real quick and then drink it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Appalachian Nights is so good, I'm like chugging it in five minutes.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		No sugar?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You don't add sugar?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Are you crazy?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		No, I do coconut water.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		So there's sugar in the coconut water.
unidentified		That's okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's only a little bit.
		That's fine.
		It's like a milkshake.
		I do appreciate it.
		We've basically gotten rid of our live sponsors and we're only doing our own company.
		Because we want to build stuff.
		We want to build stuff, you know?
		So go to casprew.com if you want to support us and buy coffee that is mind-blowing.
		And I gotta be honest, The Rise of Roberto Jr.
		is also insanely good.
		It's a very light roast.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I like that one.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That one sold out pretty quick because it was like the first one, too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's got Roberto Jr.
unidentified		on it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's a celebrity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, everybody had to get the Roberto Jr.
unidentified		one.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He is a celebrity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is still available, and the Keurig cups are on their way, so those should be available soon.
		And then we have Sleepy Joe.
		Decaf.
		Unwoke.
		And I think we're doing Mr. Bocas Pumpkin Spice Experience.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Delicious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then I think we're going to do an Espresso Roast Focus with Mr. Bocas.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Those are all ideas from our members.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		He has his face with a third eye on his third eye.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Focus with Mr. Bocas.
		Alright, where are we at?
		Let's grab some more.
		Ooh, yikes.
		Kay Som says there was an underage girl between 8 and 10 years old that participated fully in the Madison naked bike ride.
		Madison police say no laws were broken.
		Happened earlier this month.
		Yeah, it is illegal.
		But the cops like it.
		Like, that's the thing.
		There are a lot of laws in the books they don't enforce.
		Like, in Wisconsin, I'm sorry, in West Virginia for instance, the law says any card game is illegal Hosting a card game is illegal.
		Wagering on a card game is illegal.
		But they've decided that Pokemon is legal.
		And we all think about that like, oh, yay, there's Pokemon cards.
		And it's like, okay, well, kids put up money to enter a contest to win cash value on a game that consists of at least some chance.
		The law explicitly forbids that.
		No one's going to get arrested or charged for doing it.
		Right?
		So there are laws that clearly define a thing and they're like, yeah, but that one's okay.
		And so what's happening here is the cops are basically saying, yeah, they don't care.
		They don't care.
		Back to blue, baby.
		All right.
		Gurik Atuvu says, I just discovered Timcast.
		Thank you for everything.
		We have the same problem in France, and we don't have the free speech to talk about it.
		Thanks for what you're doing.
		You are all amazing.
		Be honorable.
		I really do appreciate it.
		And I was saddened to see the video where the pride marches in France tear down the French flag.
		I'm like, France is cool.
		You know what scares me?
		I told this story before.
		I went to the Bahamas.
		I was on a cruise.
		We went to NASA, and I get off the boat, they're like, you have X amount of hours to go and check out the city, and I'm like, this'll be really cool, I've never been here before, and there's gonna be like, local fair, and local experience, and what do I see?
		Gucci, Starbucks, Dolce & Gabbana, Hard Rock Cafe, I'm like, is this what the world will be?
		No.
		I like the idea that you go to France, you get baguette.
		I like the idea you get schnitzel in Germany.
		I like the idea you get, you know, you go to Ireland, bangers and mash, Guinness, and all that stuff.
		But everything's homogenizing.
		And everything's gonna be, This generic plastic corporate facade everywhere you go.
		And that is horrifying.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I feel like it can't sustain.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I can't imagine that can sustain.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I like diversity.
		I like diversity.
		I like being able to go to another country and being like, oh, this is what they do here.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It's good.
unidentified		It's fantastic.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		But I went to Chile, South America, or Peru, actually, at the time, and all it was was chicken and rice.
		White rice and chicken.
		I was like, where's the kale?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's everything.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Everywhere.
		Where's the green vegetables?
		Like, no, more white rice.
		White rice, white rice.
		I'm like, dude, I need healthy food.
		I can't only do so much of the same thing.
		So there is that value.
		I'm so sick of being the devil's advocate.
		Let's just move forward together.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright, Nathan C says, the rainbow flag comes straight from Satan, and it's an inversion of God's promise not to destroy us.
		Trust me, I know these things, I'm deep.
		This guy made a comic of Charlie Kirk, Elon Musk, and me, and it says we are afraid of rainbows.
		And I'm like...
		You know, this is how you know these people don't actually watch the show, because I have consistently advocated for the flying of rainbow flags as a reclamation of God's covenant.
		I told Seamus, I'm like, I told him, like, hey, why don't you put a rainbow flag behind you?
		He goes, I don't know, it might send the wrong message.
		And I'm like, would you really give up?
		God's, like, a symbol of your religion?
		To them?
		And just... No!
		Take it back!
		Reclaim it!
		Make them... Look, people are like, it's a different rainbow, you know, theirs only has X amount... so many colors.
		What I was... I was joking and I said...
		June is American Greatness Month and all these corporations are flying the symbol of God's covenant.
		They're changing their profile pictures to rainbows to symbolize this is a Christian nation, right?
		I'm being somewhat facetious, but I'm basically saying, take the rainbow back!
		It was Christians to begin with.
		Why are you just being like, oh, I guess we won't use it anymore?
		Are you serious?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		No, it doesn't make any sense.
		I like the idea of taking it back.
		It's just, I think it's tough because they control all the cultural institutions.
		It'd be one thing if you had... Just do it!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You see how Phil was talking about how Emma comes in here and she has to disagree with whatever it is I say?
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		Just be that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes!
		They put up signs saying it's okay to be white and they called it hate speech.
		And it was intentionally an innocuous statement that the trolls knew they would freak out over.
		So what do you think's gonna happen if a bunch of right-wingers start flying rainbow flags?
		They're gonna be like, oh no, no, we don't want to do that anymore.
		That's what I'm saying.
		But this is what they do.
		They come on this show and they're like, we don't actually know what you believe, Tim, at all.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		And I'm like, well... I love that.
		Watching her say things that were just like, provably false.
		Like when you called for a race war or something like that, and I was just like, when?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I was like, what?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Seriously, it was just such a weird... That's a crazy thing to say.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		I'm like, the mixed race guy?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, that's the meme!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Empty head.
		Completely empty head.
		She embarrassed the hell out of herself and did no favors for the majority report.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Really?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I thought it was great.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Really?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I didn't love every word that came out of everybody's mouth, but I thought the show itself was awesome.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but do you think that she did well and did watching that make you think, hmm, I want to check out the majority report because those guys are on to something.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I knew her beforehand, like I just know who she is from watching, so it was exactly what I suspected, but better because they got along really well for like 98% of the show.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who did?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You and Emma.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		It was pretty genial, except for like, there were a few hot points, but it was pretty much like, let's just talk about it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because she would go, she would say something like, I think we should have socialized healthcare.
		What's your position on healthcare?
		I'm like, you don't know it?
		I was like, I'm in favor of what I would describe as universal basic healthcare.
		She goes, oh, I didn't know that.
		Yeah.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Eat her own words.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, why don't you make more videos about it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm like, why don't I make more videos about my random opinion?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Housing first.
		Housing first.
		That was one thing she said we should talk about more is getting homeless people housing
		because then they get a shower.
		Once you get a shower, you can get a job.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And that came from somebody who's never owned a house.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Well, my friend works in San Francisco with homeless.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That's a big part of her, what she does, too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I will tell you two things, Ian.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Having worked for a large network of homeless shelter non-profits, they don't want houses.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		No, you gotta get them for the people that want them.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You can't just give forced people onto them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, none of them want them.
		That's why they're homeless.
		Now, okay, but I won't be absolute.
		Maybe a small percentage really just don't want to be homeless, but in my experience, 98% of the homeless people we encountered Did not want to have a house, and wanted to be outside, and did not want jobs, and would explicitly say, I know that if I take your shelter offer, you're going to give me a curfew, or you're going to lock me in.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Or you're going to drug test me.
		And that's the way I get a house.
		And you know how L.A.
unidentified		is.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		You can live every day, every part of the year in L.A.
		and have no problem.
		Especially if you're getting money from the government, you're set.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I used to go down to Skid Row and hang out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You can't maintain these houses.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		No.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is the funny thing about people being like, housing first, just give the homeless
		houses.
		And I'm like, yo, houses don't just exist.
		It takes an insane amount of work to maintain them.
		That's why you have slumlords.
		And we complain about slumlords because they don't maintain the property they're renting
		out.
		So a lot of people don't realize this too.
		It's like, in order to live off being a landlord, you probably got to own 10 properties.
		Because you do not make that much off renting out a house.
		You make a profit, but then you have to work.
		You have to make sure, like, yo, I've had a property, when we moved out of New Jersey, we rented the property, and I had a rental management company take over and I was like, just run it I guess?
		And then I ended up selling it to the people who were there.
		I'm like, look man, I don't want to be a landlord.
		I don't want people renting from me.
		You don't make a lot of money off it.
		I'm not trying to be a landlord.
		I just owned the house and figured somebody should live in it.
		And after all the problems we had, things break, we pay to fix it, I'm just like, you don't really make money off this.
		I was like, guys, do you want it?
		Buy it.
		Like, you're going to save money.
		I don't want to be a landlord.
		But these leftists don't understand this.
		They think landlords sit around and do literally nothing.
		No, it's possible.
		You get wealthy enough where you own a hundred properties, they're all being run by management companies, and you're making, at that point, you're, you know, if you own a hundred properties, depending on where those properties are, you're probably a millionaire.
		Well, you're literally a millionaire owning all those properties.
		But you're generating a million bucks.
		And at that point, yeah, okay, I can get it.
		Massive conglomeration, stuff like that.
		But a lot of work has to go into it.
		A lot of work has to be paid for it.
		So when people are just like, we should house homeless people, it's like, yeah, okay.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's like feed the hungry.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Feed them what?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, exactly.
		And for how long?
		Like forever, until there's 900 billion of them?
		Like what, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's grab some more Super Chats.
		Cece says the left is a theistic religion.
		They worship intersectionality.
		They just haven't named a god yet.
		Ergo, it's a non-theistic religion.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Demiurge.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Just as Jesus lived without sin, theirs will exist with all of their intersection of all oppressions.
		It is really, really amazing, to be honest, how they've created this, like, bizarro Christianity.
		They believe that... The original sin.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they believe that there is at least a segment of the left that, like, worships, like, the nature and stuff like that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They're Gnostics that believe that, like, God is actually the devil and there's a god that's above the god of the bible and he was imprisoned in like in reality he was broken up into into into shards and he's imprisoned in reality and so when you hear people say like there's a little piece of god in all of us that's a heresy according to christians that's saying that oh i am that's that's like a gnostic cult belief that's like
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		the infinity gauntlet. They shattered the gems? God was stored in the infinity gems all over the
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		universe? No, it's not the same thing. It's like part of the Gnostic heresy. You can read up G-N-O-S-T-I-C.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Literally. It's a real thing. It's a real religious belief that a lot of people
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		act out even though they don't realize that they believe it.
		Whenever you hear people say, there's an end of history, that's when God realizes that he is, it's when man realizes that he is God and then all of the conflict in the world goes away because man realizes that the conflicts are just representations, different representations of the same thing.
		It's a whole Gnostic religion and most people that are on the left Don't realize it, but they're they're they're acting out a religious religious beliefs Gabriel Lopez says I was an atheist for 15 years thought I was really smart to have it all figured out science explains everything I was wrong humbled myself found God Christians were right all along.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm done with anything alphabet mafia related.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is not good for anyone.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		That is an awesome story It is great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I I relate to it.
		I don't believe Christians were right all along.
		I believe they're right about a lot.
		I think there are a lot of really smart philosophers and theologians throughout history, Christian thinkers who thought about the universe, and God, and morality, and they came up with extremely intelligent things, and many of these things we want to live by today, I am not A Christian, however.
		I think there's just smart people.
		However, I will say, I think watching The Passion of the Christ was very good.
		It gave me a political understanding of the ideas around the Passion era, when all that stuff was going down, and the human element of what the story was, not the religious element.
		Because all my life, I've been told this religious story of what it meant from a perspective of God having us undo these things.
		Then I watched The Passion for the first time, and I'm like, now I understand the human element of why they did what they did to Jesus.
		Because, you know, Satan is in the movie, and there's a religious, obviously it's religious, but I thought that was really interesting to see Pontius Pilate saying, if this man's innocent, but if I crucify him, then they're going to revolt, his followers revolt, but if I don't, then the people who hate him will revolt, so what do I do?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Keep the peace.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Just like the cops in New York City, man.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The guards running in to, like, stop the revolt because they're angry about what Jesus was saying?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Did they portray Jesus to, like, having, like, just be, not gone insane, but, like, just crushed by the weight of the burden?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Like, does it start off where he's already in prison, or is it... The, uh... Seamus needs a beer, but... No, it starts off in the garden.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		So he's praying, and yeah, no, no, not Gethsemane, yeah, yeah, Gethsemane.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		And it walks through the whole passion, so it starts in the garden and it ends with, um, actually ends with him rising.
unidentified		No.
terry schilling ▲ ● ▼		That's like the end scene.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		There's a sequel coming out, I was told.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they're doing a sequel.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Resurrection.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's hilarious.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		I mean, how are they gonna do that?
		I hope he... because they say he goes to hell after he dies.
		His spirit goes to hell and he saves souls and then he's risen.
		So, like, if that's an action movie where he's, like, dressed up like Rambo and he's in hell, like, slaughtering the demons and he saves people... There is a lot of violence and brutality in that movie.
		That's why I haven't watched it, man.
		It's such a great content topic, but I don't like gore.
		I just avoid it unless it's necessary.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But what I was saying to Seamus after watching it, I was like, watch that movie without knowing anything about religion, and it's the story of a guy who was teaching people and preaching love, and so the powers that be felt threatened by what he was teaching, so they had him killed.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it's, like, very political.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, dude, the emperor.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		We're lucky we don't have an emperor.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But anyway, my point is, in terms of the religious stuff, I can tell you there are a lot of really good and strong and important ideas and smart thinkers.
		And they gave us important concepts.
		I always cite Blackstone's formulation, which is rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
		It's a foundation of this nation and how we became the most powerful and, in many ways, the most just.
		Don't get me wrong.
		Very unjust in a lot of ways, too.
		But I think the foundation of this country with the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Amendments, man.
unidentified		And the Second Amendment, come on.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Just brilliant.
		Brilliant minds.
		Brilliant minds.
		All right, let's, uh, The Quartering says massive announcement at 2 p.m.
		Central tomorrow.
		Glad to see Timmy back and sounding healthy, but yeah, I am shilling out because it's gonna be huge.
		Well, I wonder what it will be, Jeremy from The Quartering.
		So that's 3 p.m.
		Eastern, right?
		Or no, wait, yeah, 3 p.m.
		Eastern?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, 3 p.m.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Eastern.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, all right, well, we'll look out for it.
		Blaine says, hey, Tim, I'm a professional HVACR technician.
		I can fix your air conditioning.
		We've had, like, we've had a company come out Every month, because it breaks down every week.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think the issue is the building's too big.
		Too big of a building.
		So, the filters break, and then the machine overloads, and then something happens to it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		And like, it's hot upstairs, but cold downstairs.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		The heat's obviously rising.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's cold across the hall.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's why we open the door.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because like, the AC in there is nuts.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The funny thing is, in Carter's studio, he's directly under it.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		The AC?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, when people turn the AC on even a little bit, his room is 50 degrees.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Oh my gosh!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We need to figure this out.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, look, being in the booth when it's cool is alright, you know?
		It is.
		Being in the booth when you're yelling and the booth's hot, that's no fun, man.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But with the new studio, we have decentralized AC units.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Nice.
unidentified		And, uh... I gotta tell you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We finally get the concrete done.
		So someone reached out to us on our members discord.
		Hopefully they're coming in and they're going to do the work for us.
		Glad to have made their acquaintance.
		We're like, hey, we want the concrete.
		It's fresh poured concrete.
		We need it polished and sealed.
		And we want it sealed.
		I would say like a Home Depot floor.
		Not slippery, but you can skate on it.
		And they say, okay.
		They used a sealant that made it sticky as sticky can be.
		And so we're like, yo, this was ridiculously expensive, why did you do it wrong?
		And they're like, we didn't know.
		And it's just, this is what happens every time.
		You tell them, this is what I want, you got it, and they do the wrong thing.
		And this is what keeps happening to us across the board everywhere.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Can you, like, override the sealant with something else?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You gotta polish it again and reseal it.
		And they're like, oh, well, if you want it that way, we'll do something else.
		And I'm like... Okay.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		First world problems, I guess.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I guess.
		But the problem is, we're trying to launch the studio and fix all of the problems so we can run this machine better.
		And yeah, the first world problem, I guess, you can't get people who can do the job.
		Yo, this building's been two years in the works.
		Two years.
		Insane.
		And I gotta tell ya, with all due respect, even the company that reached out to us, they're like, we can be ready in three weeks.
		And I'm like, it's never gonna get done.
		Never.
		Oh, it'll get done.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Frustrating.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		And it's gonna be amazing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, maybe in a year.
		Even with the building we're doing for the coffee shop.
		It's like, we go in and we say, okay, here's our preliminary plan.
		Then they say, it's a historic building, you gotta do these permits.
		We do the permits.
		Okay, now you gotta do an inspection here.
		We do an inspection.
		Okay, now you got a problem here.
		We do another problem here.
		It really does feel like they're just trying to rip money from us.
		And at some point, there's no point in trying to invest in West Virginia.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		You know what I wanna do?
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Is build a climbing wall in there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do we have room for that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's part of the plan.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Bang on it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, a rock climbing wall at the auto billet.
unidentified		Yep.
unidentified		All in the works.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, Damonovich says, I'm part of UE Local 506.
		We are currently on strike over our contract with Wabtec in Erie, Pennsylvania.

		I'm kind of torn on union work stuff because I had negative experiences with all my unions.
		I was held back by them.
		I would.
		There was no path for me as an individual under union contracts.
		I'd go to my boss and be like, I'm always on time.
		I pass the test.
		I do this.
		I want this.
		They say, talk to your union rep.
		And I'd be like, what?
		They can't give me a promotion or a raise.
		And they'd be like, neither can I. You got a union contract.
		Deal with it.
		I'm like, I quit.
		I don't want to work here.
		There's no movement.
		And it was like, Do you guys like the idea that the average person is
		protected is great, but then the ambition the ambition is curtailed
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Are you guys have union experience?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Uh, i'm not in a union, but i've dealt with working with unions and I find them to be difficult and that's putting
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		it mildly Was there a musician union?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No, it's it's usually like uh loaders and stuff like that at is specifically in in new york city dealing with the the
		unions At places like the nokia theater or whatever if you walk
		out on for some reason if you're in a band And you walk out on the stage
		To get something from, like, the back line or whatever, the union guys will yell at you.
unidentified		Oh, dude!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You can't push... If you want to bring something to the stage from the truck, you can't push it your own crate.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The union people are... They hindered progress massively.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We were getting a venue, and I'll keep it very vague, and we had security issues.
		Nope!
		Union.
		Has to go through them.
		We show up and I'm like, I want to check out the stage before the show.
		Nope.
		Union.
		And I'm like, I'm putting on a show!
		We got a thousand people coming.
		I need to come on stage.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So we went around into the seats, into the actual room, and then just jumped up onto the stage to check it out.
		And then they yelled at us and started screaming at us, how dare you?
		What do you think you're doing?
		And I'm like, I paid money.
		I need to know what the stage looks like and what our plan is.
ian crossland ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
		You need to scout it for safety, too.
		You need to be aware of your surroundings.
		You need to survey the stage.
