Now, enjoy the show.
I know who's responsible for the wildfires in Maui.
White people!
Ah!
That's right.
Did you read that in the news?
I did, in the New York Times apparently.
They have this, this is from townhall.com.
We were all waiting for the left to voice this terrible opinion on the Maui wildfires from Matt Vespa.
And he says, you knew this opinion piece would bubble up at some point.
The Maui wildfires, etc, etc.
The cause of the fires yet to be determined.
I guess they're saying it's power lines.
But for some, the Maui wildfires, which have destroyed communities and shattered families, was an opportunity to bash Americans and America and blame the real culprit of these fires.
White people.
Whitey!
Now is not the time for pseudo-intellectual lectures about the perils of colonialism.
That's basically what they're saying.
White people came in and took over.
If you type in what caused the fires, it's ideas from the article.
Intergovernmental panel says climate change blah blah blah.
When Christian missionaries transformed an area that was mostly wetlands into large-scale sugar plantations that required the digging of tunnels in the buildings blah blah blah.
The sugar and pineapple industries led to the deforestation etc etc.
I had to stop here.
What the hell is this?
To understand the fires, we must look to the 19th century.
No, we don't.
There are more pressing matters at hand, like finding the hundreds that are still missing.
But you get the point.
They're saying it's colonization.
It is that white people came, and you know, they're bad.
phil labonte
So colonization of Hawaii, like, so first of all, like, it was bad that, you know, they were, they kind of, you know.
tim pool
It was an invasion.
phil labonte
They kind of took over the island.
tim pool
And I think it was in violation of some, like, conventions or something.
joshua smith
Sorry we brought you power, man.
phil labonte
No, no, no, no, no.
That's not it.
Because the thing is, because of Hawaii's location, there was never, because Hawaii is so small and it is so remote and located, In the middle of the biggest ocean on earth, there was never a chance for it to avoid being gobbled up by some massive power.
You can't be an island nation with that kind of strategic value and think that Russia or Japan or the United States or someone isn't going to go ahead and say, we're going to come here with our military infrastructure and put something here.
Now you can say it's wrong, you can disapprove of it, but that you are not gonna, there is nowhere on earth that's insulated from the rest of earth the way that it needs to be to make sure that it doesn't, like North Sentinel Island's the only place, you know?
ian crossland
What's going on there?
tim pool
But they're protected.
phil labonte
What?
ian crossland
What's going on in North Sentinel Island?
phil labonte
Nothing.
ian crossland
What do you mean they're protected by what?
You will be speared if you show up.
tim pool
The natives have never been made contact with.
When people show up, they kill you.
And it's protected by, I think, like India or whatever?
phil labonte
India, yeah.
It's actually a part of India.
They run their own stuff.
And if you go there, they're going to shoot arrows at you.
tim pool
And a couple years ago... Yeah, a helicopter flew by and they were shooting arrows at it.
phil labonte
A couple years ago, a guy got killed because he tried to go there.
joshua smith
You ever seen Cannibal Holocaust before?
Anybody ever watch that?
unidentified
No.
joshua smith
I won't bring it up.
ian crossland
There's a visual, like a video simulation of the colonization of the Pacific that's fucking wretched.
You guys gotta watch it at some point.
tim pool
I just gotta say, Phil, I'm sorry.
You've just proved them right.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
North Sentinel Island hasn't burned down.
unidentified
That proves it!
phil labonte
But North Sentinel Island is not remote like Hawaii.
ian crossland
It doesn't have power lines on it, does it?
tim pool
No, there are no power lines on North Sentinel Island.
Guys, I have to say this.
It is difficult for me.
Without Luke or Serge here, I'm the only person of color.
unidentified
That's not true.
I'm Polish.
Oh, you are?
ian crossland
Congratulations!
unidentified
And it's not one-sixteenth, it's a quarter, okay?
tim pool
I'm only a quarter Korean, so that counts.
Oh, so we can rag on these white dudes.
unidentified
Yeah, I do it all the time.
joshua smith
I've been called the blackest member of the Libertarian Party several times.
ian crossland
I never 23 and meed myself, so I don't know if I'm black or white or colored or not.
phil labonte
I'm confident that you're white.
I'm Spanish.
joshua smith
I'm mostly Spanish.
ian crossland
I think I might be Neanderthal.
tim pool
Spanish is white.
Polish is a person of color.
ian crossland
What if I'm 5% Neanderthal?
phil labonte
Then you're still white.
tim pool
Then you're not human, actually.
Then you count as an animal.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, and you have actually less rights.
joshua smith
You gotta go with the communists, buddy.
ian crossland
I'm gonna side with the white colonists.
Not that they're white, but that the colonists did cause this.
unidentified
Joe Biden tweeted today that he's laser-focused on the Maui recovery.
He should probably be a little less focused, considering the situation.
ian crossland
Dude, we had Nick Sorter on the show last night, and I mean, he's basically almost explaining what we're talking about right now, that people came in, they set up power lines, they kind of modernized and colonized the island, and then they don't take the wood out of the- they don't, like, keep up the forest.
You're supposed to go in and remove the dead wood from underneath the trees so that these brush fires don't happen, and they haven't been doing that.
phil labonte
It is not white people that are doing that, though.
White people are not the people in charge of the island.
joshua smith
It's the Democrats.
On the West Coast, it's the Democrats.
And I'll tell you, I grew up on the West Coast, all up and down Oregon and Washington and California.
Progressive deforestation policies have created all the wildfires on the West Coast, period.
They've stopped clearing the underbrush, they stopped taking down trees, so there's trees growing right next to trees.
It's like a giant tinderbox.
ian crossland
Why did they stop?
joshua smith
Because of the push from the left for you know conservation.
ian crossland
Oh to leave it natural?
joshua smith
Yeah.
ian crossland
I mean part of our natural survival is our ability to go in from the beaches, into the forest, get the dead wood out, go back to the beaches to set up life.
phil labonte
The natural thing is forest fires.
joshua smith
The logging?
phil labonte
The natural thing is to let the forest fires go and... Never.
joshua smith
There was never forest fires when I was a kid.
There were, but they were nothing.
Like there's 150 of them in Oregon every year now.
unidentified
There's power lines going through all those forests now and if you're gonna do that you need to do management of the forest.
joshua smith
It's white people, man.
unidentified
So...
I agree with Phil, and I also agree with you.
joshua smith
It's progressive deforestation policies have led to giant tinderboxes all up and down the West Coast.
There's no doubt about it.
And anybody who's arguing that at this point is just a Democrat or doesn't understand what they're talking about.
ian crossland
And those policies have bled into Hawaii?
joshua smith
I'm sure, yeah.
phil labonte
Well, the stuff that's on Hawaii is a little different.
I don't know what their policies are, but I know that the stuff that caught on fire was grasslands.
joshua smith
I believe that Hawaii was on purpose.
tim pool
The fire was on purpose?
ian crossland
If not that it was set, that it was allowed to happen?
joshua smith
Here's the thing, if it wasn't on purpose, they still used it to make sure that they could get really cheap real estate.
tim pool
The government.
And there's a story about one of the residents was arrested for trying to go back to his house.
ian crossland
And they're blocking off all the destruction?
joshua smith
They were blocking off people trying to get out!
tim pool
Right.
There's a guy, he's 39, he was trying to go back to his property apparently.
They said they saw him leaving so they arrested him and said that was trespassing, you're not allowed in there.
And when they reported on the arrest, most outlets did not mention that he was actually a resident trying to go back to his property.
Perhaps because there's like valuables that are hard metal.
Like imagine you've got, I don't know, let's say you have a couple hundred bucks worth of silver.
That silver's still there.
It's not destroyed in the fire.
You wanna go get it?
Nope, sorry.
ian crossland
Oh, and there's safes that are fire- Oh, totally.
tim pool
Absolutely.
So dude's got, like, a photo album or something, or some memory cards, or hard drives, or money.
ian crossland
Probably money.
tim pool
Yup.
And he wants to go get it back, so they arrest him.
Like, what the fuck is going on?
That they're keeping these people out?
joshua smith
Well, and they're offering to buy that property for pennies on the dollar now, and...
Oprah and Hillary are sitting there up on the mountain having coffee, watching it, going, we're gonna get some new property.
phil labonte
It's literally some of the most valuable property in the world, too.
joshua smith
Oh, yeah, no doubt.
phil labonte
Like I said, Hawaii is really, really unique.
It's one of the most remote places in the world.
The value of the shoreline there, you know, it's beyond astronomical.
There have been developers trying to get the local owners of the property, who've owned it for generations, offering them tens of millions of dollars for a lot, and they're not selling because they don't want to, you know, they don't want to lose the property.
It's literally priceless because there's nowhere else in the world like it.
joshua smith
It's their family's property too, they got it.
ian crossland
I think Nick quoted it as one square acre, one acre squared, is that how you say it?
Is ten million?
unidentified
One lot.
joshua smith
That would make sense.
unidentified
One lot, I think he said.
ian crossland
One acre?
Or was it five acres?
I think it was one acre.
It was ten million.
unidentified
It's a tiny piece of land for how much money it was.
I know that.
I think it was like one lot, he was saying.
Like waterfront, one lot in Lahaina.
He's like ten mil.
phil labonte
Easy.
Worth every cent.
Worth every cent.
joshua smith
Without a property.
phil labonte
Just the land.
If I had the money to buy property in Hawaii, again, I would buy property in Hawaii again because they're not making any more.
It's the most valuable piece of land that you could probably get your hands on.
tim pool
The volcanoes are making more.
phil labonte
Yeah, they're only making them on the big island though.
They're not making any more property on the other islands.
unidentified
Yeah, it's so sad.
And I've heard, I don't know if this is true, but apparently Maui was supposed to be a candidate for like a smart island.
So they're supposed to do all this like green renovations anyway.
And I think this is going to definitely speed up the process.
tim pool
Well look, I went up on Zillow and 2.3 million for 15 acres.
Where?
Lina.
Coastal.
unidentified
What?
Really?
Yeah.
phil labonte
Buy it, Tim.
tim pool
How much?
2.3 million.
Here's a $1,000,000 lot.
Oh, it's also... They're like semi-coastal because it's a road.
But yeah, $1,000,000 for 15 acres.
phil labonte
Buy it.
joshua smith
In Lahaina?
tim pool
But why?
joshua smith
Does it say that in Lahaina right now?
tim pool
Lahaina, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lahaina, Hawaii.
unidentified
There's a photo of one house in the middle of all the fire that survived.
tim pool
50 days on Zillow.
So these are old listings, obviously.
But they've frozen sales, so you can't buy them.
3.5 million.
What do we got here?
This has got to be a property, I'd imagine.
This has got to be, like, an actual building.
This one is, uh... Nope.
25 acres.
ian crossland
Wow.
tim pool
Lot land.
Oh, it's all just land.
What's going on?
ian crossland
Is it just, like, vertical?
Like, 60 degree angles?
unidentified
Maybe that's it, though.
ian crossland
Uninhabitable.
unidentified
There's no houses for sale.
tim pool
No, they're there.
I just have to select.
Let me just select.
Apply.

It's 3.5 million.
Beautiful house.
Probably no longer exists.
It's been on the market for 118 days.
I don't think this house is there anymore.
unidentified
Whoa.
tim pool
Yeah, that's crazy.
joshua smith
I'll tell you this.
tim pool
Oh, wait, no.
What happened?
joshua smith
There's a lot of land, uh, two towns away from me in Iowa right now.
71 acres with a seven bedroom old school farmhouse on it.
Bunch of farms and other stuff comes with a tractor for the cornfield.
I think $1.1 million.
Wow.
71 acres.
tim pool
$11,000,000 for a 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath, 5,777 square feet on 5 acres.
unidentified
Geez.
$11,000,000.
tim pool
How much was that, Josh?
71 acres in Iowa right now for sale for $1.1 million.
777 square feet on five acres 11 million you can get that Josh
joshua smith
71 acres in Iowa right now for sell for 1.1 million dollars.
unidentified
Yeah, I bought what 70 Yeah, that's terrible.
tim pool
You can get 130 acres in West Virginia in like Morgan County.
joshua smith
This has a seven bedroom farmhouse farm, comes with the corn tractor, all the irrigation.
tim pool
I think that's expensive.
unidentified
That's cheap.
phil labonte
77 acres?
I'm from California, easy $20 million deal where I'm from.
If it's a functional farm, then it's not bad because you can literally go in and start producing a profit.
tim pool
So we got 50 acres with two standing structures, one in need of renovation but still sound, one brand new building, and the 50 acres was $750.
joshua smith
That's really nice.
tim pool
That's West Virginia.
joshua smith
Yeah, that is really nice.
tim pool
That's normal.
joshua smith
I didn't know it was that cheap here.
tim pool
Yeah, and we're, and we're, you're an hour from the airport.
joshua smith
Yeah.
tim pool
So that's why when you were like a million for seven, I'm like, that's not that good.
unidentified
71.
joshua smith
I think it's like 71.2 acres.
phil labonte
I have a much easier to clear the land.
Yeah.
I have a feeling he's talking about an actual farm and what you got was like property with a stroke with structures.
He's got like the infrastructure.
joshua smith
It's got a full cornfield and you get, you know, you've got a cornfield in Iowa, you get them corn subsidies, man.
phil labonte
Yeah, if you got cornfield, that means you grow the food that you can give to your dairy cows.
tim pool
So we were talking about doing this out here of, um, there was like a hundred acre lot.
Let me, uh, let me try and look.
joshua smith
Hundred acres is a lot.
unidentified
Are you talking about the reserve?
tim pool
Yeah, we were talking about making like a public Let's do this.
Let's I remember the name 100 acres is a lot of acres we were gonna buy and just be like come build whatever you want And we'll like we're not gonna charge rent or anything, but there's gonna be like it's not for you to live and whatever it's still like have fun things make a little fur trader hut or something and then you'll have you'll have that piece of land and For as long as you decide, and then if you leave and don't come back after a certain amount of time, we take it and we'll give it to somebody else, but it's basically like a park where people can do fun stuff.
joshua smith
That's a pretty cool idea.
unidentified
Yeah, it was right around when Elon took over Twitter, and those two guys memed the internet, Ligma Johnson.
joshua smith
Yes, yep.
unidentified
And so we were having fun with the different names we can make with a preserve.
joshua smith
That was a lot of fun.
That was a good couple weeks there.
I really enjoyed that.
unidentified
Time flies, man.
It seems like it was not that long ago.
joshua smith
It was over a year.
unidentified
It was a while ago, yeah.
joshua smith
Yeah, because I've had my Twitter back I was kicked off Twitter for over a year.
I got kicked off in, I want to say it was October of 2020.
Why?
I never got a reason.
ian crossland
Were you talking about COVID?
joshua smith
No, I was talking about pedophiles, I think.
ian crossland
Oh, October 2020, good timing.
joshua smith
Yeah, I think it was that map.
The teacher who was saying that we had to normalize the term minor attracted person and that De-stigmatized the word pedophile, and I was just like that's really nice now face the wall and I think I think it was that was the last straw, but I had already had a bunch of strikes talking about kovat and the Products and stuff all the vaccines now.
We're on the after-show fucking vaccines Yeah, I was talking about I was talking about kovat a lot.
I read maybe it was 2021 when I got kicked off and I don't remember.
But I was off for over a year.
I know I was over a year.
And then I had sent an appeal every single day for 365 days.
And then all of a sudden one day I woke up and my Twitter was back.
ian crossland
What day?
joshua smith
I don't remember.
ian crossland
But within the last six months or before that?
joshua smith
No, I feel like it's been a while now.
It's been over six months for sure.
ian crossland
After Elon bought it?
joshua smith
Right after Elon bought it.
Within a couple of weeks, yeah.
Because I was already at almost a 20,000 follower.
tim pool
Here you go.
260 acres in Morgan County, West Virginia.
1.5 million.
Wow.
That's crazy.
unidentified
That's beautiful.
tim pool
Got a big old barn on it.
Got water access.
unidentified
Look at this.
tim pool
Is that a deer barn?
unidentified
That's crazy.
So forests like that, that's why Appalachia is a stronghold if anyone invades us.
joshua smith
Yeah, it's going to be hard to get through there.
tim pool
But these things are basically everywhere.
joshua smith
You ain't riding tanks through there very easy.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
116 for a mil.
joshua smith
That's pretty wild.
tim pool
What do we got here?
How much is this one?
unidentified
2.9... 1,000!
tim pool
Look at that view!
936 acres for 2.9 million.
Jeez, dude.
joshua smith
That's a ranch, my friend.
ian crossland
That might be worth getting.
tim pool
Yeah.
joshua smith
Yeah, that's a ranch.
unidentified
Oh, you get that river access is... Yeah.
Especially in the future, man.
joshua smith
You're gonna control resources in that area, for sure.
unidentified
There's no doubt.
Yeah.
ian crossland
You can build cities and stuff.
tim pool
105 acres for $290,000.
I could buy something like that.
unidentified
A whole lot to clear.
joshua smith
Wow.
unidentified
That would be... That's crazy.
joshua smith
That's really cool, yeah.
That's wild for 2.9.
That's wild.
It's only $290,000.
unidentified
$290,000.
joshua smith
Wait a minute, what?
tim pool
$290,000 for 100 acres.
unidentified
What?
ian crossland
It's only 290,000.
unidentified
No way.
tim pool
290,000?
joshua smith
Wait a minute, what?
tim pool
290,000 for 100 acres?
joshua smith
What?
No way.
tim pool
Yeah, put down 5%.
joshua smith
Does it say that you can't build there or something?
There's gotta be some kind of caveat.
tim pool
No, it's just in the middle of fucking nowhere, dude.
phil labonte
Land is, yeah, land out, like, when you got, like, land with, like, nothing on it, it's not super expensive.
ian crossland
Does it cost so much to renovate?
phil labonte
Well, I mean, yeah, you gotta clear it, and you gotta build on it and stuff.
joshua smith
I thought it was 2.9 million for a minute, and then I looked closer.
I can't see that far away.
I got bad eyes.
ian crossland
As I got a little data about Hawaii, it was first colonized by the United States in 1900.
How far away from the airport is that?
tim pool
About an hour?
If you start going further out to like the Maryland Panhandle.
joshua smith
Yeah, that's wild.
tim pool
276 acres for 900.
joshua smith
How far away from the airport is that?
tim pool
So...
joshua smith
About an hour?
tim pool
This is Cumberland. It's basically super close to Cumberland.
You're further than an hour away.
You're gonna want to do some kind of puddle jumper from a small airport.
But from...
unidentified
Martinsburg has one.
tim pool
Pittsburgh's like an hour, like probably two hours from here.
joshua smith
Oh, that's not far, okay.
tim pool
Right, and then you're, the air, like, you're gonna, hour and 45, maybe two hours to one of the DC airports.
joshua smith
Pittsburgh?
Pennsylvania's only that, is that close to here?
tim pool
Oh, yeah, dude.
Gettysburg is like, what, like 45 minutes away?
joshua smith
Oh, wow.
unidentified
We get Steelers games out here.
joshua smith
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, Gettysburg's right over here.
I just, uh... You want to stay away from Maryland, but here you go.
In Maryland, which is like 30-40 minutes from the airport, 590,000 for 150 acres.
unidentified
Thurmont's good, though.
Thurmont is MAGA country, definitely.
tim pool
Yeah, but who cares, because Baltimore is not, and Baltimore's gonna send state troopers to beat the fuck out of you if you have a gun.
unidentified
Yeah.
joshua smith
Yeah, I won't go anywhere that doesn't allow me constitutional carry, that's for sure.
tim pool
You just gotta go all the way out to the middle of nowhere here and get... That's more expensive, shit.
I love the middle of nowhere stuff, but the problem is we couldn't do the show.
We wanted to, we wanted to go to like Wyoming or Montana.
joshua smith
It's hard with the internet, right?
unidentified
Someone said make sure the land is not perked.
They may not let you build.
Perked or they may not let you build, I don't know what that means.
joshua smith
That's the hardest part about being in Iowa too, is we only got like one gig.
And it's... I can't multi-stream my show.
tim pool
You need to get like five star links and then bond to them.
joshua smith
Yeah, I gotta do something crazy.
Because I use OBS to put the show out, and so if I try to restream to three or four different platforms, we'll start dropping frames right away, and then we'll drop the whole show.
I only stream to YouTube, and then Otto uploads to Rumble and other places.
tim pool
Here you go.
113 acres for $1,000.
No.
In Iowa.
unidentified
What?
Yeah.
joshua smith
Is that Iowa?
unidentified
Yep.
joshua smith
Where?
tim pool
Westgate.
ian crossland
Dude, buy it right now.
joshua smith
Can you put a buy now in for me, please?
tim pool
No, these are fake.
It's like $1.
It's not real.
unidentified
I think that's auctions.
They'll do that.
joshua smith
Look around Adele.
We live in West Des Moines.
They might have that property in Adele.
tim pool
Here you go.
unidentified
156 for Adele.
joshua smith
It's right outside of Des Moines somewhere.
tim pool
They're all basically a million bucks.
joshua smith
I live in West Des Moines.
tim pool
Oh, here you go, dude.
118 for 200k.
joshua smith
Yeah, that's not bad.
tim pool
Oh, it's an auction.
It's an auction.
unidentified
Of course.
tim pool
Yeah, dude.
Iowa's expensive, man.
You know why?
It's because Chicago's right there.
joshua smith
Yeah, we're about five hours away from Chicago, where we live.
unidentified
Minneapolis too.
joshua smith
Yeah.
That's the coolest.
That's the coolest part about Iowa is you can get so many places in 10 hours.
You can get to like 20, 20 states in 10 hours, either way.
It's crazy.
tim pool
See, that's the thing.
joshua smith
I drive everywhere.
tim pool
Not like anyone's going to go buy a hundred acres, but yo, seriously, let's like, let's, let's, let's do this.
Let's, uh, let's do a lot size of one acre to five acres.
And then let's set the price way down 200.
Yeah.
There's tons of land to be had.
Five acres for $200.
joshua smith
That's a Tumwa too.
That's a pretty cool spot.
tim pool
Yeah, that's the thing, like, people need to understand about buying properties.
We don't have any mountains, though.
You don't need $200,000.
You save up for a few years until you get a down payment, and then you buy it, but you gotta figure out what your income is to pay that loan off or whatever.
Phil, do you- We're gonna go to callers.
unidentified
Sweet.
ian crossland
Are you in the middle of nowhere, your place?
phil labonte
Not particularly middle of nowhere.
I mean, it's a small town.
tim pool
Do we have an order request?
unidentified
No particular order tonight, however you want to do it.
Alright, Liam the Censor, we're starting with you!
tim pool
Welcome to the show.
unidentified
Thank you all so much for having me on.
So, my question for the panel, given that World War III seems to be pretty likely, I wanted to see if you all, like if Article 5 was triggered, do you all think that there's a possibility that the U.S.
might not even send troops and that we'd essentially act as a manufacturing base for the rest of NATO so that they could deal with the... We already sent troops!
I mean, like, large scale.
I'm talking, like, you know, not just special forces.
I'm, you know what I mean?
Because I mean, like, at that point, you're kind of... Nah, we, we, but, but, so, yes, definitely boots on the ground.
tim pool
No question.
ian crossland
But I reject the premise of the question that World War III is likely.
joshua smith
I don't.
ian crossland
At least, I think that the Ukraine thing, it's not unlikely.
joshua smith
I think we're pushing Russia into the arms of China, and we're messing with China at the same time.
It's a little worrisome for sure.
I don't know if it's imminent, but it's definitely worrisome.
It should be worrisome to everybody.
For sure.
And Taiwan is a tripwire for war.
Right.
tim pool
100%.
And considering we have troops already in Europe and we have special forces already in Ukraine, more support is going to be sent.
You could maybe make the argument that we're not going to see heavy combat from our personnel in the immediate But we send, you know, tech support and supplies, and we have a large amount of soldiers on military bases throughout Europe, but yeah.
joshua smith
And Article 5 means every member of NATO.
tim pool
Yep.
ian crossland
But that's, the thing is, if you got a defensive pact, and then one of the, and then someone's in a war, and then they join your defensive pact after they're already in the war, it doesn't trigger your defensive pact.
phil labonte
I mean, I don't know that you can really say that.
ian crossland
Not historically it didn't.
phil labonte
I don't know what they would do though.
I personally, I'm anti-Ukraine and NATO.
There's absolutely no reason for Ukraine to be NATO.
joshua smith
Take that a step further, Phil.
To be anti-NATO.
phil labonte
Well, yes, I am.
Fair enough, I am.
But for this context, I'm absolutely against Ukraine being a part of NATO.
100%.
There is no reason to have a Ukraine Uh, join NATO.
All it does is make conflict with Russia more likely.
Ukraine and Russia have, like, a long, real deep history.
Russia comes from Ukraine.
Like, the Ukrainian Rus were the people that started Russia.
So, like, that, that history, we don't want to stick our nose in.
Like, we don't, I don't, I don't, there's no reason for the United States to do that, like, at all, so.
That's my take.
I just don't think that we should be defending Ukraine from Russia.
That's beyond our scope.
joshua smith
Or Taiwan from China, for that matter.
tim pool
But Liam, did you want to elaborate any more on that one?
unidentified
It was a simple answer, which I guess.
Yeah, like if you guys are okay with my elaborating on it.
Absolutely.
So like the reason I kind of thought about that was because, you know, despite us offshoring a lot, we still have a large manufacturing base.
We have a large population.
Plus, you have other countries where it'd probably be more likely that they'd be involved and be easier to logistically.
Not saying that we couldn't, because like you said, we do have military bases over there and troops in Europe already.
But in my opinion, the main reason I would think that that's a possibility, however likely, is because the American public, for all intents and purposes, is not wanting to get involved in a war here.
So it would almost be like, oh, well, we like we're at war with Russia, but we're not going to send troops over there.
Don't worry, guys.
We're just going to.
tim pool
Here's what's going to happen.
Pittsburgh is going to have a major outage and there's going to be people screaming and rioting and the government's going to come out.
Joe Biden's going to say a cyber attack launched from Moscow took out a main water reclamation plant in Pittsburgh, resulting in a loss of water for three million people.
Females responding immediately, but my fellow Americans, this is an act of war, make no mistake.
And I'm now going to confer with my colleagues in Congress, or you know, with members of Congress, as to the appropriate response to how the United States deals with this overt act of war.
joshua smith
And then we're going to war.
tim pool
And then we're going to war.
And then you're going to have the media being like, they killed people!
unidentified
10,000 dead in Pittsburgh and you're saying let them get away with it, you love Putin!
tim pool
And it could even be worse than that.
joshua smith
They'll basically be Chris Christie all over the news.
tim pool
Absolutely.
There will be an explosion and then they'll say that the Russians have taken credit for it, that it was an attack on our infrastructure because we manufacture a component in this area that was being used by the Ukrainians and then, you know, Russia's gonna deny it and they're gonna say we know they did it and they're targeting us because we believe in freedom.
And then they're going to say, we have to stop this.
But it may even be worse than that.
I imagine that if they want us to go to war, you'd need something more substantive than 9-11.
What that would be, I don't know, but cutting off the water or blowing up some kind of refinery or some kind of cyber attack that results in the deaths of several thousands.
joshua smith
Yeah, it'd have to kill a lot of people for sure.
tim pool
Several thousand people?
unidentified
What if it's something like they're sending Biden over there for peace talks and he gets kidnapped?
Or killed.
tim pool
He's assassinated.
unidentified
Replace Biden and you get your war.
joshua smith
Yeah, that's true.
tim pool
Holy shit.
joshua smith
So, although most of them could be like, see you later pops.
tim pool
Yeah, you need large-scale death.
So maybe Biden's vitting, here you go, Biden goes to visit some kind of, he's on the campaign trail visiting some union shop, and then something happens, they blame it on Russia.
ian crossland
They could assassinate Biden and blame it on Russia.
tim pool
That wouldn't be enough.
ian crossland
In conjunction with a nuclear, I mean, I'm just, I don't even want to say it, because it's like, what am I saying?
They could, we would need mass death, like those words coming out of our mouths is not healthy.
tim pool
That's stupid.
ian crossland
But being aware of false flags, it's not stupid.
joshua smith
It is.
ian crossland
In order for the United States... The plane to the darkness, you gotta expose it, but don't become it.
tim pool
No one is doing that.
We're saying that's what they have to do.
It's what they would do and have done, and there's no reason they won't do it again.
And this idea that we better not just say it is stupid.
ian crossland
Just be careful with saying it over and over again.
We need mass death.
Be careful of saying that over and over again.
tim pool
That's a ridiculous, weird, hippie notion.
Calling out the establishment because they engage in false flag attacks like the Gulf of Tonkin, and we all know about Operation Northwoods.
So, right now, we know they want to escalate the war.
If it comes to it, they will need U.S.
troops on the ground, and the only way to get that is if you get mass public support.
It's gonna be incredibly fucking difficult to pull off, considering the culture wars.
ian crossland
Especially with Biden, because he's not convincing.
tim pool
So it's gonna have to be some kind of serious attack.
Like a Pearl Harbor.
phil labonte
You know, I... I mean, I...
I don't know that I am uncomfortable saying that I wouldn't put it past him, but once you pointed that out, like, if they smoke Biden, right?
Say, we're gonna get real conspiracy theory.
The feds or the CIA decides they're gonna smoke Biden, right?
They take care of the problem with Ukraine and his kid.
They take care of the problem of Biden.
unidentified
I mean... He becomes a martyr.
tim pool
He becomes a heroic image in history.
The Biden investigation no longer exists in the public space.
And Gavin Newsom can now run And then Kamala Harris was with Biden when the whole thing went down.
joshua smith
I think that's the plan, is Gavin Newsom.
unidentified
And that scares the shit out of me.
tim pool
Now that we've kind of gone very deep on this one, Liam, was that sufficient?
unidentified
Oh, absolutely.
Thank y'all so much for having me on.
If I can just give a shout out, I think y'all should have JB McCuskey on.
He's West Virginia's auditor.
He's running for Attorney General.
He'd be a great guest.
tim pool
Right on, man.
unidentified
Also, if y'all ever want to come to Marshall, I'm Chair of College Republicans there.
We'd love to have you.
Word!
joshua smith
We are Marshall.
That's cool.
tim pool
What is it?
joshua smith
You say Marshall?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
joshua smith
Yeah, we are Marshall.
It's good.
tim pool
I know from the movie.
ian crossland
Is that Ohio?
joshua smith
Marshall?
unidentified
West Virginia.
tim pool
All right, man.
We'll take a look.
Thanks for calling in.
ian crossland
Thanks, dude.
unidentified
Thank you so much.
tim pool
All right.
Next up, we have Larkin.
Larkin, you are on the show.
joshua smith
Larkin Rose?
tim pool
You must unmute yourself.
unidentified
Howdy.
How's it going?
I really appreciate you guys having me on.
I had a question for Ian because, Ian, I couldn't disagree with you more, but I love you, man, and I respect your openness to change and the same reason why I really have been watching Tim for the past, like, 10 years or so.
But for me, I was very much when it came to the abortion question, right?
Like, I used to be very libertarian on it and, you know, It's not really my position and who am I to say when life began and I used to be in the military and I worked in intelligence and we used to do kind of like a fun thing on the weekends where we would do like debates and we would force each other to take like the opposite opinion and I was talking to this guy and I heard my own argument coming from his mouth and as I heard it
Like, something just clicked in me, and I saw it as, like, and I'm not saying anyone is evil, but like, the argument and the mindset in itself is evil.
And it was, you know, like, who can say when life begins?
So what does it matter?
You know, why not just, you know, like, do you know when life begins?
And so my question for you is, is like, for me, my epiphany in that moment was like, If I can't say when life begins, why would I possibly take the chance of killing a child?
And, like, being someone that grew up taking care of my little brothers and stuff like that, and being, you know, in the military and stuff, you protect.
That's what a man does, you know?
And it completely changed, in that moment, it absolutely changed my mind and how I view it.
And I was just wondering, does that argument make any sense to you?
ian crossland
Well, I don't argue that it's not alive.
Like, sperm and egg are both alive.
And I just don't think it's a human when it's in zygote form.
That's about nine days.
Takes a while for it to start to develop into what we consider human.
And like, yeah, not all life is sacred.
Well, you were in the military.
There's a time and a place for life.
There's a time and a place for destruction of life, to consume it, to survive.
You eat animal.
You destroy plants.
unidentified
Whoa!
phil labonte
Hold on here.
ian crossland
Let me finish.
unidentified
Sorry.
I got you.
Sorry, I made it a minute.
ian crossland
I'm sorry, what?
unidentified
Oh, I was saying, I understand that argument, it seems a little, kind of, somewhat misplaced.
I understand, like, I took fire, friends of mine were buried, you know, and I returned fire.
And I never blamed a lot of the people, some of them, that were doing it because, like, they didn't really have a choice, right?
And if I was them, I'd be doing the same thing.
But it still doesn't mean I wouldn't, there is right and wrong, I'm gonna protect the people around me, and I'll do what I have to do.
But, As someone that recently, I never thought I would have kids.
I'm 37, I was single, and then I met my wife and I kind of couldn't take the chance to like, have it.
To like, just do the jump.
And now she's like, the best thing that ever happened to me, I just had to let go of like... And we have a kid that's 5 months old, and I can tell you, every step of the way, there's no freaking question.
Like, every step of the way.
That, like, this is life.
You know what I'm saying?
And I understand.
We all have our own way of looking at things, and we have our own experiences.
For me, if I'm looking at it, like I said, it's just like, why would I take the chance?
Even if you'd, like, you just don't think it's life at all.
Like, at inception.
ian crossland
No, it is alive when it's a sperm and an egg.
It's not a human at inception.
unidentified
But is there a chance that it is?
And if there is, why would you allow it?
ian crossland
I mean, it's a zyko, it's not a human.
I'm very pro-life, and that's why I'm obsessed with revolutionizing our energy grid.
People that say they're pro-life, but they don't talk about actually fortifying our electrical system, but the virtue signal about what some woman over there has to do, you want to protect her?
You want to protect life?
Protect the woman.
unidentified
What part did you want to respond with?
phil labonte
I just have a problem with that because that is just changing the subject.
What subject?
When you said no, if you're pro-life and you change, you're changing the subject.
ian crossland
Yeah, but they don't think it's murder.
We talked about this last night for like an hour.
phil labonte
No, but the point that I'm making is I have a problem with saying that because you're changing the subject to avoid the conversation.
The point that he's making is it's life.
And the stuff that you're saying, like when you're like, it's not a zygote, it's not a human life, it's human DNA.
Like, I get what you're saying about being like, you know, or I understand why people could be pro-choice and stuff, but I just feel like... Well, let's try this.
tim pool
Ian, what's a human?
ian crossland
There's a meme.
I'll answer your question, but there's a meme of, protect the baby in the womb, protect it, protect it, protect it, and then as soon as the baby's born, you're on your own, kid.
That's a meme about the right-wing conservative movement.
tim pool
That's not real.
ian crossland
That's not true.
tim pool
That's a lie from leftists.
ian crossland
They don't want social services to protect the single mother.
tim pool
Social services don't protect families.
They cause poverty and fatherlessness.
ian crossland
That's the argument that's made.
But in the womb.
What's a human?
tim pool
The idea that the only solution for helping a baby is for the government to take money from other people and then put kids in state institutions makes no sense.
But anyway, define human so we can figure this one out.
ian crossland
I'll go with the definition in the dictionary.
I'd read it.
Look it up and read it if you want.
tim pool
Do you know what it is?
ian crossland
I don't know.
It's an animal from the hominid.
Homo sapien.
tim pool
How technical do you want to get?
You said a zygote is not a human, so I'm asking you what you think a human is.
ian crossland
It's an evolved hominid.
The most evolved hominid that we know of.
phil labonte
A member of the primate genus Homo.
Especially a member of the species Homo sapiens.
Distinguished from other apes by a large brain and capacity for speech.
A person.
ian crossland
Large brain.
So, no, those little things in the womb don't have large brains.
Distinguished body.
tim pool
That's what it said.
Distinguished body.
phil labonte
Compared to the size of its body, Ian.
ian crossland
That's not what that says, does it?
I mean, what?
tim pool
what? So my question is, like a dog, like a turtle and an egg, isn't a turtle? Because
a turtle is defined as like an amphibious reptilian, an aquatic reptilian with two arms,
two legs, and it retracts into a shell.
So if the turtle is in the egg, it's not actually a turtle, it's something else.
ian crossland
If a turtle is in an egg, it's a turtle, because it's a turtle in an egg.
If it's a zygote in an egg, it's not a turtle yet.
unidentified
Ian, I feel like you're playing Schrodinger's cat with life.
tim pool
No, I think you're making excuses to justify a nonsensical position.
ian crossland
No, I think people are insane if they look at a zygote and say it's a human.
They're fucking insane.
unidentified
Well, what else would it be?
Like, if you leave it alone, it is definitely going to become a human.
tim pool
So why can't it be a human?
A baby born with no arms and no legs is a human.
phil labonte
It's not going to be a refrigerator.
ian crossland
It might not survive at all.
tim pool
A baby born with no arms and no legs is a human.
joshua smith
Yeah, but a baby can't survive outside the womb.
tim pool
A baby born with no arms and no legs is a human.
joshua smith
Without him?
tim pool
It is.
But humans have two arms and two legs, and this thing doesn't.
ian crossland
No, I don't think that's part of the definition.
You can have deformities and shit and still be a human.
tim pool
So, then what defines a human?
ian crossland
Phil just read the definition.
Large brain, hominid species, homosexual.
tim pool
A baby born with a diminished brain.
Not human?
phil labonte
Ian, when you say large brain, I want to point this out.
tim pool
Ian needs to answer this.
There have been babies born with diminished brains.
ian crossland
If they're human babies born with deformities, then they're human.
unidentified
But there's no brain.
ian crossland
They're probably still human, like, partway through.
I believe they become human at some point along the gestation process.
tim pool
But if it doesn't have a large brain, you're saying it's not human?
joshua smith
When do you think they start to feel pain?
tim pool
If it doesn't have a large brain, you think it's not human?
ian crossland
I don't know, I'd have to look into the science.
tim pool
Is that what you're saying?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
But you just said a human is defined as having a large brain, right?
ian crossland
Yeah, it's part of Phil's definition.
tim pool
Okay, so if a baby is born but it does not have a brain, is it human?
ian crossland
If it has no brain, it's not a human.
tim pool
It's not a human.
ian crossland
It's a husk of a meat sack if it has no brain.
tim pool
These things exist, you know, right?
There are babies that are born without brains.
ian crossland
Yeah, I would not consider that a human, dude.
tim pool
And they have a cerebellum, which regulates the involuntary processes.
So then, the question then becomes, do you think, so the question then becomes, do you think the physical mass of the brain or the conscious entity defines a human?
ian crossland
I think both.
And if, so if someone's body dies, they're no longer a human.
tim pool
So here's the issue.
The issue I take is not whether or not you're right or wrong, it's that you're not making any logic at all.
Pull us a picture of a zygote.
And I'll explain.
ian crossland
Do that for me.
tim pool
A baby born with nothing but a cerebellum can regulate its involuntary functions.
It can breathe, and it has a heartbeat, and its eyes move around.
But it doesn't have higher functions.
You say that's clearly not a human.
ian crossland
You said no brain.
It's not a baby born with a cerebellum.
That's part of the brain.
That means they have a brain.
tim pool
So I did say babies with a cerebellum can regulate.
So, okay, so that is a human then?
ian crossland
Yeah, sounds like it, yeah.
tim pool
So it has a small, so it's not a large brain though?
But you said a large brain.
ian crossland
That's what Phil read.
tim pool
Okay, so do you agree it's a large brain or just some component of the brain?
phil labonte
I mean, I think his point of it being relative to body mass, is that what you were... Well, the point is, like, when it says large brain, like, your brain is not large compared to the sun.
And that was the comparison you made earlier.
ian crossland
Yeah, but those zygotes don't have brains.
phil labonte
No, but it's not taught... The zygotes are... They're building the brain.
ian crossland
It's a diploid self-construction.
phil labonte
It is building the brain.
It is becoming a human... It is becoming a person.
ian crossland
But so is the sperm before it impregnates the egg.
Like, what's the fucking...
How esoteric do you want to get?
phil labonte
It's DNA, man.
unidentified
That's a good way to define it.
phil labonte
So as soon as the sperm fertilizes the egg, that's new DNA, independent from the DNA from the father and the mother.
That's a human being.
That's a new human being.
ian crossland
That's a leap of logic to say that it's mother DNA, father DNA, therefore it's a human.
phil labonte
No, no, no, no.
Mother DNA, father DNA, third, new DNA.
ian crossland
Yes, that doesn't mean it's human.
tim pool
That means it's human.
That's human DNA!
unidentified
Can I just say that I hate this fucking debate so much.
tim pool
Here's the issue.
There's a very simple and clear definition of human.
And it pertains to what Phil described.
A unique set of DNA of the hominid, whatever you want to call it, homo sapien order.
Your definition makes no sense.
And I'm not saying you are wrong about abortion, I'm saying, when you say, a zygote is not a human, and I say, what's a human?
You say, I don't know!
I go, okay, then how the fuck are you defining zygote?
ian crossland
Well, a human has a brain, it has a fucking heart, it has fingers.
tim pool
So, if a human is born with no brain, and they're, okay.
ian crossland
I already answered this question, it's not human if it doesn't have a brain, dude.
tim pool
So then, so then what makes a human who is a full adult?
ian crossland
Consciousness.
tim pool
Okay, so when someone goes into coma, they're not human anymore.
ian crossland
Yes, they're human and in a coma.
tim pool
But they don't have a brain and no consciousness!
ian crossland
If they have no brain, then they're no longer fucking human.
phil labonte
What about when you go to sleep and you're not conscious?
You're still a human.
ian crossland
You're a sleeping human.
But you just said that if you don't have consciousness, that's part of the definition of being human.
tim pool
Okay.
There are babies born with what they describe as not having a brain.
And it has a brain stem which can regulate involuntary functions.
You are saying that is not human.
ian crossland
If it has a brain, cerebellum.
Is that your point?
Talking about brainstem cerebellum?
tim pool
A brainstem, not a brain.
ian crossland
Like, what do they have?
You pull it up.
Let's define it.
Let's look into it.
joshua smith
I fucking hate this debate so bad.
ian crossland
Me too, man.
People, they look at a fucking die plate cell and they're like, that's a human!
I'm like, what in the fuck world has this come to?
tim pool
Anencephaly.
A serious birth defect in which a baby is born without parts of the brain installed.
ian crossland
Okay, they still have some brain.
That's still human.
If you have no brain, you're dead.
tim pool
You're not!
ian crossland
There are many babies that are born- Maybe they can pump blood through a piece of meat, but what the fuck?
tim pool
Okay, I'll just simplify this and we'll wrap it up.
phil labonte
Yeah, humans are still humans.
tim pool
Phil has a very simple definition.
A new set of DNA of the genus whatever, homo sapien, etc.
phil labonte
It's human DNA.
tim pool
Okay, and there is a living structure that is growing.
Ian, your definition is just a bunch of random hodgepodge that doesn't make any sense.
ian crossland
Dude, high intelligence, bipedalism, hairlessness.
These zygotes don't have that shit.
tim pool
Neither do people with alopecia.
Neither do people with serious birth defects.
You cannot define human based on anomalous developments within the human race, and you cannot define human based on chosen characteristics that you deem worthy.
ian crossland
I'm pulling from the definition.
Cognitive skills that enable them to thrive.
Cognitive skills.
Psychics don't have those yet.
unidentified
I mean, it's a developing human that will have all of those things.
ian crossland
We already talked about chimeras.
You can take a male and a female and fucking tweak the genes in her little zygote and turn it into a non-human.
tim pool
If you can kill a zygote, and Ian, the problem with your worldview is that if you can kill a zygote, you can kill a retard.
ian crossland
That's a horrible thing to say.
tim pool
Yeah, well, that's your fucking belief.
ian crossland
No, it's not.
tim pool
Yes, it is.
ian crossland
No, it's not.
tim pool
You sit here and said that a baby born with encephalitis is not a human.
ian crossland
No, you said a baby born without a brain.
phil labonte
Ian, you're qualifying who gets to You're making qualifiers as to who is and is not a human, and you're still talking about human beings, human DNA, human children.
All of the things that you're talking about come from humans.
They're all biological matter that comes from human beings.
They all have chromosomes.
They all have DNA.
They're all things that come from humans.
joshua smith
Why don't you all just be a little more responsible with who you have sex with?
tim pool
The issue that I'm looking to answer is the question of human rights and when does the government have the right to determine someone does or does not have rights.
So that's why we need to have a very clear set definition.
This is not an argument about abortion in any capacity.
Life begins at conception.
That's when a unique set of human DNA is created and begins to grow.
It doesn't matter if you can think, feel, smell, fart, shit, or otherwise, because there are some people who can't, some people who can.
There are some people who can jump real high, some people who can't jump.
Some people are born and they're fucking retarded, some people are super smart, some people have no legs, some people have heads.
We don't define what grants you human rights based on if you were born with the right amount of arms, eyes, ears, face, or otherwise.
So, what I say is, Looking at the issue of abortion, because it's where it arises, my position is simple.
The government does not have the right to mandate one person provide their body to another.
End of story.
Now, in the event that a woman grants a man the right to inseminate her, resulting in another human now being attached to her body, that was a choice she made to allow that, and now she is obligated to not terminate because she welcomed that in.
In the instance of rape, I believe the government has no authority to mandate a woman carry the baby.
Even though the baby is a unique human life that does have human rights, as defined by 30 states, which, if you kill the woman and the baby dies, it's a double homicide.
To say something like, whether you're smart, or have a brain, or have arms, or are bipedal, that's what makes you human, is the justification for eugenics and genocide.
phil labonte
Yeah, that's a big problem is when you're when you're making a qualifier about this person This isn't a person and that is a person and this this you know entity doesn't qualify because they don't have these arbitrary Features or whatever they don't like all of that stuff.
That's the same kind of idea that justified Killing off thousands and or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in Nazi Germany.
It's it's it is saying that these entities do not I'm not gonna say you're wrong.
And once you start doing that is like, well, you know, the zygotes don't,
and then the people that are mentally deficient don't, and then the people that are blah, blah, blah,
that's all eugenics.
It's all, it all leads down to a path of devaluing human life, all of it.
ian crossland
I'm not gonna say you're wrong.
I don't know if you're right or if you're wrong, but killing a zygote that early in the process of pregnancy,
two days, a day after the impregnation is vastly different than eugenics.
phil labonte
No, it's not.
I mean, if a woman wants to terminate a one-day-old zygote, Look, I'm pro-choice up to the end of the first trimester, but my issue right now is the way you're articulating it.
Because like I said, I'm pro-choice up to the end of the first trimester.
I think that the fetus is not cognizant yet, it doesn't experience the way that a developed human being experiences.
The fetus is not viable at like, you know, 10 weeks or whatever.
So that's where you can have a reasonable, in my opinion, where you can reasonably say this is moral to end the term.
tim pool
We definitely got to get these other callers.
So Larkin, thanks for calling in.
joshua smith
Oh shit, we got a call out this whole time, I forgot.
ian crossland
Thanks for getting me out of it.
unidentified
One thing, I do homesteading and I would look into miniature cattle,
because 40% of the feed you get 70% of the beef, and instead of 7 gallons a day, you get about a gallon,
gallon and a half.
Cool.
tim pool
Thanks for calling in.
ian crossland
See you, man.
phil labonte
It's far more manageable.
tim pool
Now for everybody else has been patiently waiting.
We have Mion Plan B. Welcome to the show.
unidentified
Fitting.
joshua smith
Great.
Here we go.
unidentified
Hey guys, thanks for having me on.
Uh, Mion, I'm very glad that your mother was pro-life.
It's good to have you on the planet, buddy.
ian crossland
She's pro-choice.
unidentified
My question is for the panel, and I'm in emerging technologies and wanted to ask what everybody thought about the idea of if we were able to get off an oil economy into something else, something other than electric, how do you think that would change the political equation?
tim pool
But what do you mean, something other than electric?
Like steam-powered cars?
unidentified
Well, like, for instance, no, um, the project I'm working on would be the first hydrocarbon that could go toe-to-toe with electric cars in California.
tim pool
Oh, okay, like an alternate fuel.
unidentified
Something similar to, like, Porsche.
Yeah, like the Porsche's e-fuel would be similar to it.
ian crossland
If we could make an engine that could run gasoline and hydrogen.
joshua smith
Did he bring up getting off the OPEC dollar, too, is that what he said?
unidentified
Well, I'm thinking in terms of the subject line of the game of money, because they were talking about the petrodollar.
joshua smith
Yeah, I thought he brought up the petrodollar in the beginning.
tim pool
Yeah, I mean, that'd be really interesting.
I think it's probably one of the reasons why the U.S.
does not want alternate forms of energy because of the petrodollar.
joshua smith
The LPEC, yeah.
I'm working with an economist on this for my campaign who's come up with this Great scheme of he's he's mapped it all out.
It would only take 40 Gen 4 Reactors to power the entire country nuclear reactor.
unidentified
Yeah.
joshua smith
Wow small.
They're very safe They have a way to burn all the waste very easily and actually turn it back in Is he talking thorium or is he talking?
I think I think it's plutonium but anyways, he's come up with a way something that he calls the kilowatt dollar and And essentially the way this would work is we'd be making, first of all our energy would be pennies on the dollar, but this energy would be so abundant that we could actually put them in batteries and sell battery banks to other countries and our dollar would be backed off that, what he calls a kilowatt dollar.
ian crossland
Those nuclear waste batteries are pretty cool.
unidentified
Right, but the problem is the storage.
When it comes to vehicles you can't get the energy density high enough.
joshua smith
Right, in a vehicle.
tim pool
Solid state batteries?
unidentified
Actually, mechanical storage is probably one of the better options.
For instance, the fuel I'm working on would be a green fuel that would be three to five times more efficient than gas or diesel with a similar energy density.
tim pool
Have you guys seen air batteries?
unidentified
I've seen them at airports and train stations.
ian crossland
How do they work?
tim pool
You compress air into a liquid and then you can release it later to spin a turbine.
ian crossland
Oh, it just evaporates as soon as you expose it to the pressure density?
tim pool
As soon as you release the valve, the pressure forces the air out at a slow rate.
ian crossland
Does it just take a lot of energy to compress it?
tim pool
It takes, uh, so the idea is that they would use solar power or some, uh, uh, I forgot what they called it, but there's ways to actually manipulate atmospheric energy to store the energy, to induce the compression, and then store liquid air.
And then they use the release of liquid air as it rapidly cools.
I think that's what it is.
It rapidly cools as the gas is being released, which spins a turbine.
Causes, you know, another effect that they, like, they found a way to, there's like a really great little mini video I watched explaining how they do air compression batteries.
unidentified
That pressure change probably generates heat, too.
At least a little bit.
tim pool
The pressure change absorbs heat.
ian crossland
Oh, does it?
tim pool
The liquefied air has to absorb ambient energy.
unidentified
The heat is taken care of when you compress it.
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah, right, right, that's what it is.
When it's being compressed, the heat comes out.
They use that heat for one process.
Yeah, it's a crazy, crazy way to store energy, but it's brilliant.
ian crossland
Question for you, me on plan B.
tim pool
Oh, I got it.
I remember.
They were talking about how to store energy for solar.
And they said what would happen is that if the grid was ever at peak capacity, excess solar would compress air into liquid air tanks.
ian crossland
Did you see the tweet that I pinned on my Twitter profile?
It's James Tour from Rice University talking about how they're converting, I think it's methane, into hydrogen fuel.
unidentified
Unfortunately, Unfortunately, unless your Twitter comes across my Gmail, I don't see it.
I tried to talk to you about gravity about two years ago.
ian crossland
Yeah, check out James tours breakthrough with hydrogen fuel because they're able to flash like, like carbon based like plastics and stuff and get Oh, I Yeah, and the stuff that I've been working on, they've had viable hydrogen cells ready to go.
unidentified
Yeah, but the people that had held the patterns would not work with the Big three.
My mom's a true investor.
tim pool
We got to jump to these other callers.
Is there anything else you wanted to wrap up on?
Thanks for your time guys.
unidentified
We already talked about pizza, so I ain't worried.
tim pool
Yeah, Giordano's or Gino's.
joshua smith
Oh, I've never had either one.
tim pool
Patrick from Ohio.
Oh, come on.
Chicago deep dish.
joshua smith
Yeah, I don't know.
ian crossland
It's so much cheese.
joshua smith
Oh, you know, I did have Gino's while I was there in Chicago.
tim pool
That's good.
unidentified
There you go.
tim pool
Right.
Patrick, what's up?
unidentified
Nothing much.
How are you guys doing?
tim pool
Pretty good.
Chilling.
unidentified
Thanks for taking my question.
tim pool
Absolutely.
unidentified
For Joshua Smith, I wanted to talk about his candidacy for libertarian president.
I typically vote Libertarian, and in 2016, my 90-year-old grandmother and myself also voted for Gary Johnson.
So we had a span of quite a few years between the 30-some-odd-old me and my 90-year-old grandmother.
So what's your strategy to unite these generations and gain their votes to break that 5% target?
joshua smith
Quick question.
Well, I think that we brought it up in the original show, but we've got to fight the culture war.
I think it's really, really important that we're a brazen, brash, brave, principled campaign and not one that just kind of capitulates on principle to try and win over the Republicans and Democrats.
I think, unfortunately, Like I said in my campaign video at the top of my Twitter if you check it out.
A very large percentage of people in the United States did not vote for a presidential candidate in 2020 or 2016.
We're talking one year it was more than half, one year it was around half.
And we had to find a way to ignite those people, because we're not going to get the sycophants from the Republicans.
Yeah, we're not going to get the sycophants from the Republicans and the Democrats.
So really, you know, I think that five is a low, I think for me it's a low goal.
I want ten.
But I think 5 is an attainable goal for the Libertarian.
Like I said, it changes the political landscape in the United States.
unidentified
How do you convince Democrats, or maybe moderate Democrats, to vote Libertarian?
joshua smith
You don't.
unidentified
You think there's no way?
You think it's an absolute losing battle?
joshua smith
They'll never vote Libertarian.
tim pool
Yeah, what do you mean?
unidentified
I think that you gotta try somehow.
joshua smith
Well, that's what Chase Oliver is doing right now, the other candidate from Atlanta who's all about like, oh yeah, no, dude, it's totally fine to bring your kids to these gay men shaking their butts in the street stuff.
tim pool
Wait, the other Libertarian candidate is doing that?
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
Holy fuck.
phil labonte
There are progressives in the Libertarian Party.
joshua smith
Spike also supported it when he was running for Vice President.
phil labonte
He has recanted though because there was stuff that he wasn't aware of.
tim pool
Jorgen Cern said it's not enough to not be racist when we must be.
And I thought it was really funny the Libertarian Party telling me what I must do.
unidentified
No, no, I'll say this.
joshua smith
I'm not going after the Democrats because, listen, the Democrats would put all Libertarians up against the wall if they got the opportunity.
Hands down.
unidentified
100%.
joshua smith
I'm not a stupid Libertarian.
I'm not an idealistic Libertarian.
I know who our base is.
And I'm going after our base.
I'm trying to get them fired up on the ideas of Ron Paul, basically.
It's the Ron Paul revolution and I'm trying to revive it.
That's really what it is.
And if you're not going to do that, don't run as a Libertarian.
phil labonte
Run on.
tim pool
Did you want to add any more, Patrick?
unidentified
No, I just wanted to shout out that this Discord community is great, Tim.
Thank you so much for getting this together.
We've had so many great conversations, and we're setting up so many events, and we're getting engagement left and right.
Right on.
So just remember, please check out the events, and try to participate in some of the After Dark and other shows.
There's a lot of people out here with great opinions.
tim pool
Right on, man.
Thanks for calling in.
ian crossland
Hardcore.
tim pool
All right, and last but not least, we got Rogue.
Roguez350, what up?
unidentified
You're muted, Rogue.
phil labonte
Hello, Rogue.
joshua smith
You're in stealth.
unidentified
You have to unmute your mic.
tim pool
Rogue must have fallen asleep.
ian crossland
You took too long.
Oh, there you go.
unidentified
Can you hear me?
tim pool
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Okay, my emoji disappeared, so I thought I was off.
phil labonte
Ruh-roh.
unidentified
Thanks for taking my call, guys.
Absolutely.
I'll try and make it quick.
So, I grew up thinking we should allow everybody to do what they're gonna do You know, we have freedom.
Allow them to do what they want to make their lives happy.
But it's gotten to the point where I think this country is pushing that so far that our morals are degrading to the point where it's pushing our society in a negative direction.
Where do we draw the line between allowing people to have freedom But also, you know, making them think of things that should cause a little bit of shame so that we keep our societal fabric together.
That's just how we keep on without.
Going into tyranny.
tim pool
Well, that's just it.
It's freedom plus shame.
As Ron Paul said, abortion should not be illegal, it should be unthinkable.
So we can tell people you can do what you want, but if people find out, then you might as well leave town because no one's going to want to work with you or be near you or be around you.
And that's the cultural element of this.
The fact is our culture has been destroyed and completely evaporated.
That's why you have laws.
You wouldn't need laws if everyone agreed on the basic premise and rules of their civilization, but society gets really, really big, culture breaks down, and then people are forced into living next to each other because there's an overarching monopoly on violence that tells them what they can and can't do.
joshua smith
We gotta stop using the fucking term normalize.
Legitimately, please stop using that term.
We're not just in a culture war, we're also in a moral war.
Yeah.
unidentified
100%.
joshua smith
And when we're like, oh, well, we just need to normalize sex work.
No, the fuck we don't.
There's no reason for it to be normalized.
There's a reason why it's not normal.
tim pool
And here's the thing.
The only reason people advocate for normalizing sex work is because they want to do sex work.
joshua smith
Yeah, of course.
tim pool
Or watch it.
Or they want an agent.
But if you eliminate sex work from the economy, then no one's advocating for it.
People who are engaged in sex work should have other means of generating income.
joshua smith
Yes.
tim pool
It's a cultural problem.
ian crossland
OnlyFans.
joshua smith
Yeah, stop saying OnlyFans.
Stop fucking saying normalize.
Stop normalizing shit.
We don't have to normalize shit that's not supposed to be normal.
It can be legal, but shame the fuck out of them.
ian crossland
What about OnlyFans?
joshua smith
Shame them.
I shame every OnlyFans girl that comes across me.
ian crossland
Did you see my tweet?
Uh, was it about the CEO making a million a day?
Oh yeah.
Yeah, I wanted to talk about that because I didn't agree with it.
tim pool
Well, so what really happened was I said to Fresh and Fit, you guys are complaining about women sleeping around tons of guys.
If you have a problem with it, then start shaming them.
joshua smith
Right.
tim pool
But what happens is the leftists, because they're grifters, took the clip out of context, so it's me just saying, a guy pulls up in a Bugatti, he should look to the window and say, what's your body count?
And if she says, you know, what the fuck, fuck you, he says, fuck, I don't wanna hone my car.
ian crossland
Oh, okay.
tim pool
What I actually said was, why, I said, I literally said, you guys, why don't you do that?
They were like, women be sleeping with 50 guys, so guys gotta be prepared and sleep with 50 women.
And then I said, well, why don't you, as high value men, just shame the women then?
joshua smith
Right.
tim pool
If that's your argument.
And they turned it into, so my response to them, because they're pieces of shit, was, all these, you know, people are saying, are mad at me for saying that you should slut shame, slut shame sluts.
Why the fuck would I care what these sluts think?
Proving a point.
They got so fucking angry about being called sluts.
One woman, she was like, Tim Paul's got a small dick!
And it's like, lady, clearly you're upset.
That you're a slut.
This is the issue.
If you come to me and you said, Tim, you're fucking bald.
I go, yes, that's true, I am.
I wear a beanie.
And they're gonna be like, yeah, well, you got nasty-ass fucked-up crooked teeth.
I'll be like, yeah, they've been crooked my whole life.
I'm actually genetically missing a tooth.
And they'll be like, well, fuck you!
I'm like, bro, you're not making me mad by saying things I know, but...
When you say women are sluts and they get really, really angry, it's because deep down there is shame in being a slut.
And they know it!
unidentified
It's not that deep down.
That's why the anger comes out so easily.
joshua smith
Very easily.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
It's because... I don't want to put shame back into the... Just do it!
tim pool
Just shame people!
It's the same thing with being fat.
It's the same thing with morbid obesity.
There is a problem we all recognize with overt promiscuity, we can easily simplify, STDs, and overeating.
You die.
You get cancer, you get heart problems, you get high cholesterol, you die.
So people know they're doing something bad, but it feels good!
And you say, I am not going to sit here and compliment you as you fuck your life up and they get angry about it.
ian crossland
But when you shame and you want to introduce shame into our culture, you want to do it subversively because if it's an angry guy yelling at people, you're bad, you're wrong, they're going to reject it and get angry.
But if you put it in a movie where the villain has that ass attribute, you realize little kids will see it and they'll be like, I don't want to be like that.
joshua smith
But also tell your fat friends they're fat.
phil labonte
Shouldn't- isn't it better to articulate why it's a bad idea than to try to be subversive?
Because like subversive implies not letting people know what you're doing.
tim pool
Ian's only wrong on the first half.
It's true about our cultural- our films, our music, and our movies are influencing children.
ian crossland
Subversively, that's what I meant.
tim pool
And it is more effective to have a villain be like, I'm going to destroy the world and have tons of sex while
eating Krispy Kremes!
I don't want to be like that.
That's true.
But also, I think it is good to literally say something like, hey, I'm not interested in working with you because you're a prostitute.
By all means, you go do your thing and live how you want to live.
I will have no part in it.
phil labonte
Personally, I have way, way more of a problem with the sloots than with prostitutes.
If you're just giving it away and you're banging dudes, those are the ones that are spreading diseases.
Those are the ones that are out there ruining people's lives.
If you're actually a sex worker, do your thing, get your bag.
If you're a sloot, just tossing it around, then you should probably put a dime in between your knees and keep it.
ian crossland
But did you always feel like that as a rock star?
I don't know a lot about you personally, you don't have to talk about it, but did you fuck tons of chicks?
Were you just like, whatever, let's just bang for 20 years?
phil labonte
So there was a time in my life when I was more adventurous?
Answer the question, Phil, come on, we know.
tim pool
No one's going to believe that a rock star is passing it up.
phil labonte
There's a reason that I'm not big on the slut shaming and giving sex workers trash and blah blah blah.
Because I am in no position to actually judge someone else.
My life up until I quit drinking Was different.
So I'm in no position to be like, oh, that person's bad or blah, blah, blah, or cast judgment on someone.
Do your thing.
It is a good idea to practice monogamy and to try to date with intent.
Like if you're dating, it's a good idea to date with intent.
Like I get it.
There are people that are young that are going to go out and and, you know, they think it's a good idea to go party and stuff.
And fair enough, if you want, fine.
I don't think it's a problem, but I think that it's something that we should not And we should not, as a society, be like, this is how you want to live your life.
tim pool
It is a problem.
As society... And, you know, like, growing up in Chicago...
My upbringing was fucking sex-positive liberal across the board.
Everyone's banging each other.
Everyone's doing crazy-ass shit.
Tons of drugs all over the place.
joshua smith
Obama was smoking crack and having gay sex.
tim pool
Exactly!
And it's a problem that it got to this point where young people are like, it's totally fine if we go out and do this because now in Brooklyn you have super chlamydia.
Have you guys heard about super chlamydia?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
Can't get rid of it.
Yeah, incurable.
ian crossland
Onion, garlic, red wine, you're gonna have to do some old school shit.
You're gonna have to go to the old school.
tim pool
Like apparently the antibiotics aren't working anymore.
Because what's happening is, these people in Williamsburg, in Brooklyn, they'll have sex, get it, spread it to somebody else.
Then one guy goes, fuck, my dick hurts.
He goes to the doctor and the doctor says, take this medication, don't have sex, Until you've completely finished it, and then you come back and get tested again to make sure it's gone.
And they go, you got it, doc!
And then once they got halfway through whatever their bottle or whatever their prescription is, they start banging again, and now it's a more resistant strain that's spreading.
It's literally super fucking chlamydia spreading.
That's a problem.
ian crossland
This guy James Tuer, the scientist, this graphene scientist, talks about that.
He talks about his fear of antibiotic-resistant viruses as one of the biggest threats to humanity.
joshua smith
Well, we already have bacterias that are I'm gonna have to put a hard stop in.
Rogue, did you want to do any final thoughts because we're way over?
I don't know if you're a fan of or know much about them, but if you would check out 21 Pilots lore from their second album on.
unidentified
up in Rogue, did you want to do any final thoughts because we're way over?
It's fairly relevant to our times today.
phil labonte
It's called Lower?
unidentified
I know what he's talking about.
I can remind you later.
It's very relevant to everything that's going on today.
And they've been writing this for 10 years.
phil labonte
Awesome.
tim pool
Right on, man.
Thanks for calling in.
unidentified
Thanks for all, guys.
tim pool
All right.
That was a fun one, huh?
Josh, thanks for hanging out.
It's been a blast.
joshua smith
Yeah, of course, man.
I had a good time, too.
I didn't tell people about my show earlier, but I do have a show called Break the Cycle with Joshua Smith, if anybody ever wants to check it out.
We're live on Thursday evenings.
tim pool
When will we know if you're the candidate?
joshua smith
May of next year is our nominating convention.
I've got a lot of time.
ian crossland
Where do people see your show?
joshua smith
On YouTube.
If you look up youtube.com backslash fight the death spots it'll take you right to my show.
But we're also on Rumble and Odyssey and BitChute and some other ones too.
tim pool
Right on, man.
Thanks for hanging out.
ian crossland
It's been a blast.
joshua smith
No, I had a blast.
tim pool
Thanks for having me.
And thank you guys for being members and keeping this thing going.
And it's so cool what you guys are doing in the Discord server and building it up and making a community.
It's the coolest show ever.
