Peace.
Many other cities are preparing for tomorrow's global day of jihad.
I hope everybody is safe.
We talked a bit about it on the Members Only show.
There are people who are quite concerned after the former leader and a current member of Hamas called for Muslims around the world to engage in jihad to show Israel and the U.S.
up or something like that.
And there's now serious concerns about security issues.
While we are concerned, there are many news outlets saying that these are just protests.
They're calling for protests.
That's it.
Okay.
We'll see.
Stay safe, everybody.
At the same time, the protests we are seeing from far leftists at various universities, they're chanting, there is only one solution.
I kid you not.
That's what they're chanting.
The full chant is, there's only one solution into Fata Revolution, but for what reason would they chant one solution?
Because you know, people understand what that means and refers to.
So we're going to talk about that and a bunch more.

blaire white
You had me on a very non-controversial week, right?
tim pool
The most controversial.
blaire white
Right, right.
Got a lot to talk about.
tim pool
Who are you?
What do you do?
blaire white
Oh, yeah.
Blair White.
Been here a few times, but always excited to be back.
YouTuber.
I guess influencer TM.
I do a lot on the internet, so.
unidentified
We're all right on.
tim pool
Thanks for hanging out.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
We got Brett Dasovic.
brett dasovic
What is going on, guys?
Yes, my name is Brett Dasovic.
I am the host, one of the hosts of Pop Culture Crisis, Monday through Friday, 3 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time, right here on YouTube.
Happy to be here.
ian crossland
And I'm Ian Cross, and hello everyone.
Last night after the show, a little late at night, 12 o'clock or so, I decided to go live on Twitter on X and did a space about God, and I realized at some point it's less about me telling people, I just want to hear what you think it is.
So I'm going to do that again tonight.
It's going to be later.
Just keep an eye on my Twitter, and I want to hear from you and see how you define this whole situation.
It was really, really amazing.
So thanks to everyone that came out.
tim pool
You mean X?
ian crossland
It was all happening on X, Tim.
tim pool
You had an X space.
ian crossland
I was on X last night.
tim pool
I did.
Space on X. When people are in Elon Musk's rocket, SpaceX, they'll be having an X space?
ian crossland
X space and SpaceX rocket, for sure.
brett dasovic
We call it Twix.
It uses both of them.
blaire white
You know people around him still say Twitter, and he gets mad.
He doesn't know that happens.
brett dasovic
If we're going to use a thumbnail that involves people talking about stuff that happened there, we use Twitter still.
It's the only time we still use Twitter.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Where we got Serge hanging out?
ian crossland
Yeah.
serge du preez
I only like Twix because it's left-right Twix.
You know, left Twix, right Twix.
Perfect.
Anyways, you guys can find me on Twix at Serge.com.
Let's get started.
tim pool
Alright everybody, here's the big story.
We have this from Los Angeles Magazine.
LAPD to increase patrols after Hamas urges global day of jihad on Friday the 13th.
Jeez, talk about... just like...
ian crossland
Wow!
tim pool
Friday the 13th?
Come on!
blaire white
What a perfect alignment.
And I'm flying tomorrow.
On a flight you guys booked.
tim pool
That's right.
We have this from the Philly Police Department.
Public safety alert.
PPD response to conflict in Israel and Gaza.
In response to the ongoing conflict, the Philadelphia Police Department is taking proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of our communities.
We have increased patrols around religious institutions, and all available officers have been placed in uniform and deployed strategically around the city to offer reassurance.
Visibility is a key element of our approach, blah blah blah, you get the point.
And then of course, we have the softening of the issue.
This one, I'm sorry, this one really pissed me off.
This pissed me off a lot.
New York Post writes, NYPD orders all cops to report in uniform after ex-Hamas chief calls for global protests.
blaire white
Is that what they call it now?
ian crossland
I think he called for jihad.
Isn't that right?
tim pool
He said jihad.
ian crossland
Yeah, jihad is a... there's a violent force involved in jihad.
serge du preez
To be honest, I don't want to speak for... It refers to struggle.
Jihad means struggle.
ian crossland
Okay.
So, maybe he's not calling for violence then.
serge du preez
He is.
tim pool
Yes, he is.
Following the terror attacks that we just saw in Israel, him coming out and saying, because Israel is bombing Gaza, there should be global jihad.
Yo, he's not saying to wave little flags.
brett dasovic
And they were already, the other day, softening the language from terrorist.
tim pool
What was that?
brett dasovic
MSNBC?
tim pool
Well, MSNBC, right.
But it's not just MSNBC.
There was a leaked email.
It was the Telegram or something.
I don't know.
I don't want to besmirch a newspaper.
So I'm not sure.
But there were leaked messages.
Some newspaper was like, don't call them terrorists, call them gunmen.
blaire white
Oh my god.
I mean, that's the same here, right?
It's like we've seen incidents of our quote-unquote protests that are actually just domestic terrorism.
And one of the ways they actually get it through is by softening that definition.
And they stick to it.
So it's terrifying, you know?
brett dasovic
Makes me think of when Obama was in office, when there was military age men.
Remember that?
When they were using the term military age men, which just means like adults.
blaire white
I was so young, I don't remember that.
ian crossland
They've been saying that a lot about the people that are immigrating, illegal immigrants.
brett dasovic
Well, they were saying it around like people dying overseas and they're saying the men that died were military age men.
That doesn't mean that they were actually, you know, combatants.
ian crossland
Yeah, a 42-year-old farmer or a 33-year-old teacher or something.
blaire white
Right.
brett dasovic
And we've had mostly peaceful protests now since 2020.
Exactly.
ian crossland
Did you see the protests in France?
And we might even get to this.
I don't know if you have the story queued up, but they were pro-Palestine, you know, protests, riots.
I don't know if it was protests.
Then the government said, no, it's illegal.
You can't do that.
So now they're protesting that the government made the protests illegal and then stuff's getting burned.
tim pool
You know, it's funny because this country used to be completely unified in their support for Israel, Democrats and Republicans.
And now the Democrats are in a serious hard place because Yeah, the young progressive Democrats hate Israel and are
pro-Palestine.
ian crossland
Is the internet, the liberal economic order did not see the internet coming?
Or maybe they had an idea, but they did not, I don't think they understood the amount of
understanding that would come from these like, these clandestine things that they've been doing.
Like the Balfour Declaration was not public knowledge until like five days ago.
Now people know that the British set up... Five days ago?
Like all of a sudden now people start... It's like trending on Twitter, Balfour Declaration.
I see people talking about Balfour Declaration.
It's like the British and French setting up the colony, the British mandate for Palestine after World War I. They seized it from the Arabs.
They tricked the Arabs and then they took it.
They betrayed the Arabs and took it.
blaire white
Well, let's not also forget, just to add to my fear of tomorrow, not that I want to manifest anything to happen, obviously it's... I've been hearing about a red heifer.
tim pool
Yeah.
blaire white
Not tomorrow.
tim pool
Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no There's also been a conspiracy theory.
I think Alex Jones has talked about this.
I think this was Alex Jones.
There are people who are trying to make prophecy happen, like revelation.
So instead of looking at, like, these things will happen, they're looking at, like, we must make these things happen.
blaire white
Which is playing God, even if you believe in the prophecy.
tim pool
So people have been talking about this.
There's concern that In September there was a story about the red heifer or whatever and I looked it up and I was it's for it's from ford.com I mean, this is a I think dot-com.
It's like a Jewish publication talking about what it could mean and If it is a pure red heifer, it means they can like purify the ground or whatever.
So the fears is that tomorrow Something bad happens and then Israel People will tear down the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem or something like that.
I don't know.
I don't know enough about it All I know is there's like a whole lot of weird like crazy religious stuff going on and tomorrow which is Friday the 13th and there's an eclipse on Saturday too, right?
Yeah, the Ring of Fire eclipse is Saturday, is that true?
ian crossland
Yeah, it passes through North America.
serge du preez
Yep.
blaire white
And of course it's the Ring of Fire, non-normal eclipse, Ring of Fire.
unidentified
Okay, great.
serge du preez
Yeah, I think the Red Heifer is something that someone figured out in like 1989.
From what I read about this, so everyone can kind of... We've been talking about it a lot, but we haven't actually figured the whole story out.
Red Heifer has to do with something that someone read into the Bible, they saw this stuff that mentioned Red Heifer.
This is like Moses era.
This is a while ago.
This is within Judaism.
I don't know how much it has to do with the apocalypse now, I don't know what else it means, but...
tim pool
So tomorrow is the global day of jihad on Friday the 13th and Saturday is the ring of fire eclipse.
blaire white
I should not have smiled in that thumbnail.
I was crazy.
tim pool
I'm going to spend the day in the emergency bunker playing Baldur's Gate 3 and just lock the door and turn the lights off.
blaire white
That's smart.
brett dasovic
Wait it out.
ian crossland
I thought it was weird that September 11th happened on 9-1-1.
blaire white
Yeah, I've always thought about that actually.
tim pool
But why though?
ian crossland
It's because it's like the emergency number.
tim pool
What if it happened on like 314? People would be like, whoa, pie.
But it was like 911 emergency.
Right. People always, people always, like yeah, the numerology stuff.
People look for numbers. It's like, dude, you're going to see a whole lot of things that have the number 17 or
brett dasovic
whatever.
It's like numerical pareidolia.
You just read into it what you want.
ian crossland
It was very convenient that I kept getting flashed 9-1-1 in front of my face over and over and over again on the news.
I don't know if that was a coincidence or not.
blaire white
There's something to that, actually, I guess.
I mean, that's some kind of that programming, like, be afraid, be afraid.
Emergency.
As if it wasn't clear enough, but I get that.
But to bring it back to what Tim was saying really quick about how, you know, people are younger college students now are sort of super pro-Palestine, and then people are kind of realizing how demented that is.
It's like it brings it to Black Lives Matter yesterday or the day before with the parachute imagery that they did.
You know, that's so sick because there's not even any gray area with that.
It's not as if you want to make some sort of nuanced argument that it's even really about Palestine now.
It's just directly about Hamas and directly about the murder that occurred, the murders.
tim pool
And they doubled down.
blaire white
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
They came out and they're like, we weren't proud of that, but we stand by the people
who will do anything necessary.
blaire white
It's like, right.
But, you know, terrorists link up with terrorists.
They stick together birds of a terrorist feather because that's if you're clued into the actions
of Black Lives Matter for the past few years, especially if you're not just now associating
the word terrorist or domestic terrorism with Black Lives Matter, you've known that all
But now it's interesting to see people, it takes something happening a sea away from them that sort of questions those actions.
That's crazy.
Yeah, where it's like, okay, well, you also could have, not to compare obviously Hamas and even the most egregious Black Lives Matter actions, two different worlds, but you know, you also could have noticed that when Chicago was burning, San Francisco was burning.
brett dasovic
Minneapolis.
blaire white
Right, pick a city, you know, so.
It's interesting, it takes something somewhere else for people to be like, oh, maybe those are the bad guys.
brett dasovic
Think about all the Fortune 500 companies that really, really latched onto that now, too.
Do they walk that back?
Does the NFL still put Black Lives Matter at the end zone?
I don't know, but they would have something to answer for, because that is in fact true.
tim pool
Now every conservative can just, as soon as they see that message from any corporation, call them and be like, why are you supporting Hamas?
blaire white
Just pull up that parachute image.
Yeah, I was on a podcast recently and it was a liberal podcast and they asked me about, they're trying to address all my controversy.
One of them was that I'm anti Black Lives Matter and they act like it was going to be a big gotcha.
And I'm like, is it really that weird?
Because it's very similar to PETA.
It's like they have that platitude name, Black Lives Matter, who would disagree with that?
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who wouldn't want to treat animals ethically?
You have to look at the actions.
It's not just a name.
You have to look deeper.
tim pool
Well, when you're in a cult, you don't.
blaire white
Right, right.
And when you're, you know, easily influenced and bullied into believing things and just have a default response.
But again, the fact that it takes something happening a COA, it's like they had our country on fire, too, you know.
tim pool
It's interesting that NYPD is ordering all I love how they phrase this, though.
Look at this story.
They order all cops to report in uniform after a call for protests.
Yo, are you kidding me with this?
ian crossland
I would have cops.
tim pool
They're not mobilizing every cop over protests.
This is despicable.
ian crossland
I hope they have cops in plain clothes with sniper rifles like in windows and stuff.
Like they don't put them all in the street and like just have them in plain sight.
They become targets.
You gotta have them hidden and ready.
tim pool
Yeah, NYPD is crazy.
I think they have, like, expeditionary forces.
I think NYPD has intelligence that leaves the city.
brett dasovic
Isn't it the only, like, police department in America that has, like, their own terrorist unit?
Like, anti-terrorism unit?
I don't know.
tim pool
Maybe.
brett dasovic
Like, they have their own counter-terrorism unit.
blaire white
I think the thing that makes it like particularly in like disturbing in a familiar way is it's that buildup of energy where I remember like right before COVID really hit the fan and the world changed.
There was kind of a buildup of energy right before where it's like, hey, you're hearing things.
About something in China, but couldn't happen, and then it did, and the world shut down.
Taiwan.
Yeah, it feels kind of like that, and again, not to manifest anything, or will it in existence.
tim pool
Well, knock on wood.
Let's jump to the story.
We got this from the Post-Millennial.
Faculty, students, and alum at University of Washington rally in support of Hamas terror group.
Yo, check this video out.
Greg Price has it.
I'm gonna play this for you.
Ready?
Here we go.
unidentified
Palestine is our command!
No peace on stolen land!
No peace on stolen land!
tim pool
Palestine is our command!
unidentified
Palestine is our command!
No peace on stolen land!
No peace on stolen land!
There is only one solution!
There is only one solution!
Oh my gosh.
Indie pop a revolution!
Indie pop a revolution!
So let me just break it down for you.
tim pool
So let me just break it down for you.
They're saying there is no peace on stolen land and there is only one solution in Tefatta Revolution.
So I want to make sure the full context is there, but you know, everybody understands the reference to there is only one solution, right?
They're chanting that on purpose.
ian crossland
That was Hitler, man.
tim pool
Yeah.
They don't need to say that to, you know, so when these leftists come out and they're saying things like, they go, it's an open air prison and these people just want to peacefully return to their homes.
I'm like, no, they don't.
They're screaming from the river to the sea.
Yeah, they want to destroy history.
blaire white
Yeah, define peace, because I don't think that word really means what you think it means when you say that.
ian crossland
Yeah, if you obliterate the surface of Earth, it will be peaceful after that, but that's not the kind of peace I'm looking for.
tim pool
Interesting idea.
That's how we bring about world peace.
ian crossland
A great reset?
Through fire and cataclysm?
Yeah, fire and brain and cataclysm.
brett dasovic
Where was that?
tim pool
That was, I think, University of Washington.
brett dasovic
There's just something so interesting about it happening to sheltered Americans, protesting something that's happening, as far as they're concerned, a world away.
And I really do think that the internet I don't think human beings were really ever designed or created to really handle what the internet can provide for them in this respect, meaning that you lose an insane amount of perspective to what's going on when you take that vociferously to something that you can't even experience firsthand or even would ever want to experience firsthand.
ian crossland
As the video was playing, Serge, I saw you shaking your head.
I'm pissed.
Was it like, were you just picturing what these people would be experiencing if Hamas was to take over as their government?
Like, what was going through your head when you heard them screaming that?
serge du preez
It's just sickening to see people that are living this first world lifestyle, going to university, getting everything paid for in a lot of cases, and chanting for the death of the people across an ocean.
When they have nothing to do with the conflict, they don't understand the roots of the conflict, they don't understand anything else, they just know this is a current thing, and the current thing I have to spend on this side, and you know what?
I'm free today, I'm gonna go rally for whatever because I want to make sure that I get cool social points.
It's sickening.
tim pool
You have this other video.
unidentified
Let me play this one for you.
tim pool
How is it allowed?
The tweet says, Jewish students at UW campus witnessing the pro-Palestinian rally break down.
They want us dead.
How are you allowing this?
I will only say, young woman, wipe your tears.
They're allowed to speak.
And I'm glad they're speaking and you should be happy they're saying these things.
Because now you know who they are and who to avoid.
Imagine if there were people who were trying to kill you in secret!
I'll put it this way, if someone's gunning for you, they want to take your life, and they're lurking in the shadows and you never even knew it was coming, yeah, that's horrible.
But what if you got advanced warning?
You go to the cops, right?
You can say, like, hey, someone's coming after me.
That's the point of free speech.
So, we get to watch a video where they chant that I think it's fair to say I'm not taking their word for it when they're saying things like no peace on stolen land.
There was a Yale professor who said settlers are not civilians and they're chanting there is only one solution.
Like bro, the left lies.
It's what they do.
They say we're just defending ourselves as they throw bricks and firebombs at people.
blaire white
Mm hmm.
And how many times can you fall for it?
First of all, but also kind of what you were saying about the whole idea of protesting, even if it's peacefully about something a sea away is particularly I think it's harmful on a level that they don't understand, obviously, because they're removed from it, but also You're influencing what that country kind of does in a way, the same way we were talking about COVID with all that, and in the middle of that, all the George Floyd stuff.
It's like, why is London protesting someone that was killed on Ireland?
Why is the UK and Paris, like, why?
And it's it's you don't understand what's going on.
And that's one of the things that's uncomfortable on days like this, where obviously, you know, our job to talk about politics, but it's hard to really say what we want to happen or what should happen.
And then it's also even harder because they're so comfortable saying what they want to happen.
You kind of feel like you have to, but we don't understand it here fully like that.
tim pool
Well, the funny thing is, when George Floyd happens, You get all the conservatives being like, OK, like this was bad.
We agree.
And the left being like, see, we told you black lives matter.
Then the video comes out where it shows you a bit more nuanced take on what happened with the George Floyd incident.
And you still have conservatives being like, we've had conservatives come on the show and be like, yeah, OK, we saw the footage, but we still think it was bad what happened.
And now you look at this.
Now you look at what happened in Israel, and you have the reasonable approach of, we don't like it when civilians are killed, yes, guys, it's a horrible situation, we're trying to resolve this, what can we do?
And then you have the left cheering for the violence, cheering for the killing of civilians, calling for more, chanting in the streets there's only one solution.
Like, dude, just stop believing them, they're lying to you.
blaire white
They go straight to it, oh my god.
tim pool
And they're going to come out now and be like, no, that's not what we mean.
I was like, I don't even, I didn't want to hear it, dude.
Like, there was a, there's a really funny video Indino tweeted where a guy claims that when you go to a pro, what did he say?
When you go to a leftist rally or whatever, there's Palestinian flags.
When you go to a white supremacist rally, it's Israeli flags.
And then he claims that they, they only chant free, free Palestine.
Meanwhile, people on the right chant death to Arabs.
Which literally is not a chant and does not occur or appear in any of the rallies held by people on the right, which is insane.
blaire white
Yeah, I'm racking my brain.
I'm like, when was that?
brett dasovic
Oh yeah, I saw that video.
unidentified
Right.
brett dasovic
Yeah.
tim pool
They just lie.
They're making things up and they want to kill people.
blaire white
And one of the twisted things about leftist rallies and protests and all the things that are actually not protests because they're violent, having lived in LA during all of COVID, is that You realize they're actually kind of parties, like they'll be doing this crazy rhetoric and this groupthink, but the 90% of people who show up are because their friends are there and they're showing up.
Whereas even the most intense right-wing rallies, which again, I'm rocking my brain to think of really like the worst ones, people are there at least intentionally.
And at least they've had like a minute of thought about what they're saying and how the impact it may have.
Whereas these people show up and they're like, Oh, Rebecca's over here.
And she's talking about no peace until it's like, That doesn't mean you have to.
tim pool
Look at this story.
This is from the Postmillennial.
They go on.
When reached for comment about the rally for terrorists, UW spokesperson Victor Balta told the Postmillennial on behalf of UW President Anna Koss, as a public institution that abides by the First Amendment, the UW neither monitors nor takes any action against individuals or student organizations for engaging in protected speech.
However, Koss has a track record of attempting to prevent speech.
In 2019, the UW College Republicans held a bake sale to demonstrate racism from Affirmative Action by charging different prices based on ethnicity and gender.
In response, Koss released a statement condemning the event, and despite claiming the university needed reason to debate on Affirmative Action, added the so-called Affirmative Action bake sale that the UW College Republicans are hosting today has no place in such a debate.
Koss said the event humiliates and dehumanizes others.
It's really interesting.
This Yale professor said, settlers are not civilians.
Basically saying that the killing of civilians in Israel was justified.
And has now like walked them, she's like walked the statements back a little bit, but she doesn't mean it!
I'm glad these people were able to speak up, and now we can say, you know, maybe you shouldn't work here, you're evil.
brett dasovic
And they would say the same thing about being an American here, in many cases.
They would have no problem making that connection, and they would have no problem with the students taking those viewpoints, even if it's to their own detriment, living here.
blaire white
That's one of the benefits.
I mean, that word is crazy to use in this context, but I'm sure people know what I mean.
One of the only positive things is sort of seeing who's who and getting a lot of clarity about your own positions.
We were talking about that earlier.
It's like my anti-war position has never felt, I've never felt more confident with it.
But I also am more confident in who's who and who, you know, is beating those war drums.
brett dasovic
It has been absolutely like insane to me to watch what's been happening And realize that my positions have not changed through Ukraine, through everything in 2020, that my beliefs, you know, especially anti-war beliefs, do not need to be swayed by either side, that it's a bad idea no matter where it's coming from.
tim pool
Well, you saw Lindsey Graham, right?
Yeah.
His latest thing was where he said that he wants to bomb Iran, even with no evidence.
ian crossland
That was crazy.
tim pool
That was insane.
That guy should resign.
That dude's evil.
brett dasovic
And you look at the responses of the people talking about this stuff, and there are people justifying it.
And it's just like, when we started seeing all this stuff, it really did become clear to me how the Patriot Act got passed so quickly with so much little pushback.
And that's before the internet age.
That's before the free exchange of information that we have now, where there at least is now a reasonable pushback from all parties where the ones who are not seeing red right now can have a reasonable discussion.
Back then, that wasn't really an option.
You had a couple of mainstream networks pushing the war machine on you, and it worked.
ian crossland
It lasted for like a year and a half, too.
I didn't know anybody that wasn't bloodlust from 2001 to 2002.
blaire white
Well, but there's a weird, sometimes I catch myself almost like longing for sort of that era in the sense of, not the war part, but the unification we all felt.
But then you remember, it was unification under so many false pretenses.
brett dasovic
Based on a lie.
blaire white
Right.
And I don't even know how much of that is safe to even talk about here, how many false pretenses, so we won't go into it.
You know, it is what it is.
And every war really starts with manipulation to some extent, which is why also free exchange information era, but also manipulation era, because we have AI, which we're still in the infancy stages of, and we're still having people like not able to decipher what's fake and what's real now.
brett dasovic
And just too much information.
Like you were saying earlier, they say what they say.
They lie.
Most people, you do this for work every day.
We do this for work every day.
You have the time to look into all of these cases.
Fact check, double check everything you're seeing.
The average person who's just going to the internet to get information on what's going on isn't doing that.
The worst is that they're taking advantage of the people who are operating in good faith, who are just looking to get information on what they're supposed to understand.
tim pool
People don't understand what the world really is without our system of laws and rules and order.
It's, uh, you're in the middle of the woods and you've got your family and you built a house and you're like, man, I've built up this nice little place to live and grow food.
And then three guys, who don't feel like doing any of that, show up, mercilessly beat you and your family and take all your stuff and leave you for dead.
And it's funny because this is my argument against vegans.
Vegans, listen up.
You see, here's my issue.
The little spinach plant hurts nobody, grows its own food, sources everything from the environment around it, peacefully minding its own business, and then along comes this groundhog.
Groundhog comes over and just mercilessly destroys that plant, consuming everything about it.
And I'm supposed to sympathize with the animal?
The animal is the barbarian who came in and killed the peaceful farmer.
So it's like, if there was a guy farming, minding his own business, and then a bandit came and killed the farmer and took all his stuff, who would you side with?
ian crossland
Depends.
If the farmer's father had stolen the land from the bandit's father?
Now we're talking.
tim pool
Now we have a great debate.
But this is actually an interesting point.
If you have an innocent farmer who grew his own land, he has land, there's nobody there, it was just wild, and let's say it's 3,000 years ago and he's minding his own business, then marauders come, kill him, take all the stuff, and leave.
We obviously side with the farmer and say that it's awful they did this.
But you take a look at how the left operates, and it really does follow this line.
So it's interesting that there's an overlap between leftists and vegans.
I'm not really ragging on vegans, I know a lot of conservative vegans.
blaire white
I know what you're saying, though.
tim pool
But my point is, the left tends to side with the thieves.
With the people who lie, cheat, and steal, and strip value.
They're predators.
And also, they're also predators in the more literal sense of what predators are, like Joe Biden is a predator.
brett dasovic
But they also, a lot of it is like, in our media, we bake the idea of the ends justifying the means for a very long time.
And so for a lot of them, they feel as if their actions, however abhorrent, are justified because a lot of times it really does come down to, is it class struggle?
Is it race struggle?
In this case, they're saying that what's going on They're attacking their oppressors, therefore it is okay, and that has permeated all levels of our culture.
Whether it's people pushing back on police because they believe that they're being held down by the police, that carries all the way up through to global conflict.
ian crossland
You know, some oppressors are better than other oppressors.
And if you've got to pick which one you want to be oppressed by, whether it's a banking system or a militant system, you've got to pick.
Maybe you'll end up on top of the game at some point, but I don't think so.
I think there's probably about 10 humans that are doing that right now.
tim pool
That's the reality.
That's my point.
Nobody wants to live in a true state of conflict or war, right?
The people that gloat about it and laugh, you put those people in the middle of the woods for a couple weeks and they'll be crying and begging.
And I know this because I remember during Occupy Wall Street, story I often tell, land was gifted to the occupiers.
And I asked people, how long do you think the occupiers lasted on that farmland?
How long do you think?
blaire white
I don't know.
tim pool
Bunch of leftists protesting in New York.
Farmland is gifted saying you can use this farmland to live off the grid and be sustainable.
blaire white
Maybe 12 hours?
tim pool
Oh, that's a little, you know, they did a little better than that.
Two weeks.
Okay.
Yeah, two weeks, couple weeks.
And then they, and then I remember talking to a friend who said I was working, I would
wake up and work and then work till I went to sleep.
And I'm like, uh huh.
You're surprised by this?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's what life is like outside of the luxury of the United States and the petrodollar and all this stuff.
unidentified
You work.
blaire white
And they also don't really obviously have a concept of so you can wrap your head around maybe the more advanced leftist brain can wrap its head around the idea that you know bad things happen in other places but the idea that yeah that happens and there's no justice for it in most scenarios too.
So the idea that you can then seek justice for it is completely removed as well.
tim pool
Who are you going to complain to?
That's why it's funny when they're like, universal health care and health care is a human right.
I'm like, so who are you going to force to give you the health care?
And then if that person is human and you've stripped them of their rights, is it really a human right?
brett dasovic
Right.
That's like way more thinking into it than most of them give to it.
Anything that involves the labor of another human being is not a human right.
blaire white
Right, of course.
And what you said earlier about how their idea of who the oppressor is and who isn't is completely warped, you see it with their, you know, landlord discourse.
Oh, that's like, so someone who worked their entire life to maybe buy even a rinky dink house, and then manages to rent it out to someone is somehow Like, worthy of being bashed for that, or not in a position of being harmed if that renter destroys the house or doesn't pay rent?
It's like, what is that doing?
tim pool
These people don't understand, like, you know, I had a house, we moved, I rented it out, and then I sold it as soon as I could.
Because, okay, I'll tell you what happens.
You're like, the assumption of the left, because, look, they're not bright people.
That's just the reality.
blaire white
Period.
tim pool
They don't understand what it means to be a landlord because they assume all landlords are slumlords.
Okay, be a slumlord, fine, whatever.
But, uh, You, you have to maintain and work for the people who live there.
They are paying you.
You are providing a service.
That's it.
Imagine owning a restaurant and being like, as the owner of the restaurant, I can sit back and do nothing.
Someone comes in and says, I'm giving you money for food.
And you say, get it yourself.
They're going to be like, okay, I'm leaving.
Give me my money back.
You have, you have a house and then AC stops working.
You're getting a phone call.
You got to pay for it.
And so basically all the money you're making in rent off a single property or a couple of properties is going to the bank to pay to maintain the house.
And that being said, if you finance a house and you have people renting it out, you are building wealth for yourself.
So you're working, right?
But people still choose to rent or not.
And one of the biggest issues is I reject so much of the millennial, I can't afford to buy a house and things like this, because I do know it is difficult.
It is difficult, but I've met way too many New York hipsters who don't want to give up their luxuries.
They refuse to have to save.
I'm not kidding, man.
90% of the people I worked with when I lived in Brooklyn, it's like, well, do you want to buy a house?
I do.
Well, here's how much you're going to need down.
You can get a condo in New York.
You can get a small house outside of New York and then commute in.
Well, I don't want to commute in.
Well, okay, like property in New York is ridiculous expensive.
That I get, but that's premium real estate.
So how about instead of spending 300 bucks every weekend, you keep the 300 bucks and then after a year, you can have a down payment.
Now they don't want to do it.
blaire white
And you know what?
There's something so sad about that because this is kind of something I identified very early on because I've kind of always, even when I was a teenager and you tend to be more socially liberal and just liberal in general when you're a teenager.
By the time I was 18 or 19 was when I kind of shifted That.
And I realized that's because I'm not a pessimist.
There's something very pessimistic about the leftist mindset as well, because it's not just that they're demonizing the landlord and see him as an oppressor.
It's because inherently they believe they could never achieve that.
And even though, granted, it's difficult to buy a house, like you said, it's partly because they believe they can never achieve that.
Whereas I always believed I could achieve anything I wanted.
And so that's kind of how I realized very early on that's not the ideology for me.
brett dasovic
Social media has also really, really ramped that up.
Doomer content that's designed to destroy your morale and hope for any type of brighter future.
Half the memes you'll end up seeing, it's so funny that you mentioned that.
Do you remember Matan Evan, the guy who mentioned... He went to protests and was like, we love landlords.
And it was like, I think that might've been the greatest thing that happened in all of 2023 because the landlord discussion is one of the most ridiculous ones that's going on right now.
And they've just been inundated with all of these, all of these things.
It's people who are actually, the funny thing about it, they're actually talented.
They're just talented at creating content that's destroying the morale of other people.
There's this guy who does these videos where he lists existential crises and really, really bad things, but he says it with a smile on his face, with really, really positive words.
And that's the type of stuff that seeps into their brains.
Like, I'm never going to own a home.
I'm going to work until I'm 80.
All the while there's like cheery music playing in the background.
And they're on social media all day.
So they're being inundated with this content endlessly.
Who wouldn't be demoralized?
blaire white
And it becomes warped because you see it spread out in so many different ways, like the fat positivity movement, which is inherently a leftist movement.
It's like, they really will convince you that being fat, sick and dying literally is A virtue is positive, like living the opposite of a positive life is positive.
tim pool
Modern society, I think, has destroyed the human psyche in a lot of ways.
We should be working non-stop.
But the problem is, for whatever reason, I never understood this, there are people who are like, I don't want to work, I want to do nothing.
It's like, hold on.
If your argument is you want to work on something specific and not the thing you're working on, that I get.
You're like, hey, I'm a restaurant manager, but I really want to be a software engineer.
So I'm taking night classes to learn how to code, and then I'm going to go and work for a firm.
That I get.
That's like, I'm not working where I want to be.
But a lot of these people want to do nothing.
They're just like, I shouldn't have to work.
I should be able to just lay there and consume resources from other people.
brett dasovic
And a lot of those people who do, they actually like, to what you said, your mindset, you would see it as a net positive to be able to have something to work on after your day job because you're passionate about it.
They find it almost as an affront to them that they would have to have a day job to then work on the thing that they want to advance in.
And that's the college lie that we've sold them.
tim pool
We've got this tweet from Jonathan Greenblatt!
Oh, he's, uh, he runs the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, CEO of, uh, ADL CEO, he tweeted, The post shared in recent days by Black Lives Matter chapters in Chicago and LA and other fringe groups, glorifying the Hamas terrorists who used hang gliders to infiltrate Israel, slaughtering over 1,000 innocents, is beyond sick and twisted, it's anti-Semitic, dehumanizing, and could prompt violence.
So, uh, just wanna point out they're not hang gliders, they're paragliders, the different hang gliders are the Fixed wing glider, and paragliders are parachutes.
serge du preez
Have motors.
tim pool
But, uh, right, they have motors.
serge du preez
Yeah.
tim pool
But I'm wondering, will the Anti-Defamation League now put Black Lives Matter on their list of anti-Semitic hate groups?
blaire white
They better, and every time I see that, for which I've seen it a few times over the past few days, obviously, it still feels like it's not real.
unidentified
Right?
blaire white
Because the audacity, how bold it is.
tim pool
Dude, these people are out marching in the streets, there is only one solution, okay?
It's crazy.
Bro, Uh, ten years ago, Occupy Wall Street people were posting on my Facebook, just, never forget you're first against the wall.
These are people threatening me with death!
Like, this is not surprising.
What is kind of surprising to me, I guess, is that finally this is what broke the machine.
And now you've got a whole bunch of Democrats being like, WHOA!
There's like some former Washington Post lady being like, I had never understood that the left was very anti-Semitic and now I'm starting to see it.
Jake Tapper being like, it's a wake-up call for people to realize anti-Semitism on the left.
It's like, I don't know, when the BLM people proudly stated on video that they wanted to end Israel, was that not surprising to you?
blaire white
That part.
I mean, if you paid any attention, I don't remember her name, but one of the, it was the female Black Lives Matter leaders, she's been getting in, yeah, she's been getting in like semi-cancellations like once a year over the crazy anti-Semitic stuff she says, so that's not surprising, but I think what takes me back every time I look at this is how there's no room for nuance.
Even if they're trying to with that, I stand with Palestine, as if we don't see that they're standing with Hamas specifically, and it's about the murders.
unidentified
Here's a video for us.
tim pool
I'm not sure what this is, I just quickly searched for it.
Lionhearted on Twitter says, BLM co-founder Patrice Kohler said exactly where BLM stood on the Palestine-Israel conflict in 2015.
Quote, Palestine is our generation's South Africa.
If we don't step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project called Israel, we are doomed.
I mean, like, what does that mean to end Israel?
blaire white
I think she spelled it out, right?
serge du preez
Yeah, it means one thing.
blaire white
Right?
What did they say?
One solution?
What was that?
serge du preez
Yeah.
blaire white
Yeah.
I would say they're being pretty specific and you have to believe them.
serge du preez
Yeah.
ian crossland
This is part of the problem with the oppressor.
tim pool
Here we go.
We'll make sure we get Fox News in there.
Here's our source from officially reporting on it.
Patrice Cullors.
Here's the video.
Oh, I got it right here.
unidentified
...is our generation in South Africa.
And the other thing I'll say is Palestine is our generation in South Africa.
and if we don't step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that's called Israel, we're doomed.
tim pool
Dude, dude, dude.
Here's the thing.
With South Africa, we were like, everyone must live together in harmony.
It's like, not gone so well.
I mean, Serge knows better than anybody.
ian crossland
That's your home country.
tim pool
But I will just say, I think A great solution would be, how do we get everyone to live peacefully together, Israelis, Palestinians, whatever.
How do we stop the fighting?
I don't know if it's possible, but that's what we'll strive for.
For her to go on to say, end Israel.
The purpose of their project is...
Like, their goals are fairly obvious.
So, I don't understand how this is 2015, where BLM, a BLM co-founder, is saying to end Israel, and the ADL is just now like, oh, heavens me, I can't believe the people that we've supported for a decade are now saying this thing.
blaire white
It's because of that platitude name, Black Lives Matter.
It makes it so impenetrable that they have to be this specific for anyone to, you know, wipe the crust out of their eyes and be like, oh, they're the bad guys!
brett dasovic
For the average person who's not paying very, very close attention to the socio-political situation, I've had a couple of people who were very big on the idea of compelled speech during 2020, that you had to make a statement on all this stuff, who unfollowed me.
I'll tell you what it is.
or this situation that's going on now?
Because I think for certain people, I can't speak whether it's because of that,
but I would imagine that this is a more clear cut example that the world you were sold before
isn't as simple as you think it is.
tim pool
I'll tell you what it is.
It's that most of these people were standing around, staring at people with pitchforks and thought to themselves,
if I call this out, they'll pitchfork and torch me.
So I'll just agree with them and go along with it.
blaire white
That's a big chunk of it.
tim pool
That's a big chunk.
And so now that all of a sudden these people are supporting terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians, they're like, oh no, am I on the, yeah, guess what?
You're on the wrong side of history.
And now they're panicking.
Now they're saying, uh oh, what do I do?
Well, I don't know, it's kind of scary, right?
You were on the wrong side of history, as y'all tried describing it, the whole time!
And now, all those protests you took part in?
Oh man, it's gonna be a fun Thanksgiving.
When I'm talking to family members, be like, remember when you held up that communist red salute?
And we're chanting for these people?
Say right now to the family at the table how you agree with the slaughter of civilians.
blaire white
And even worse, all those billions of dollars that went straight to those mansions for those disgusting founders and people in the organization.
I mean, how disgusting.
That's the legacy of what you fought for if you were out on those streets.
Even if you had every good intention and you really were affected in That's a profound way by the George Floyd stuff or any other injustice against a black person.
I mean, that's obviously like a different story than injustice, but it's... You were deceived.
But the part, do you forgive them?
tim pool
No, I don't think it's so much that they're deceived.
Most of these people knew what they were saying was wrong, but they wanted to stand alongside power.
They were either cowards or evil.
There's the banality of evil along with that.
brett dasovic
For some of it, I think a lot of it is just that they're the average person who decided to post a black square or go to these protests.
I think it's because they're not looking that closely into it.
And they had a very visceral, emotional reaction to what happened.
tim pool
I'm not talking about someone who passively posted it.
I'm talking about the people who message you being like, dude, what's wrong with you?
unidentified
Why are you doing this?
tim pool
The enforcers.
Exactly.
Willfully stood behind evil because evil had power.
unidentified
Yep.
blaire white
Yeah.
And we live in a time where so many people do feel powerless that the idea that you can DM or tell anyone that you know in your life that you are morally superior to them, whether you say that directly, specifically, or just in your actions, it doesn't unfollow.
It's like people leap at that, you know?
And I realized that very clearly when I started my channel talking about politics.
It's like I lost every friend I had.
I had to get a new friend group, but obviously it was worth it.
tim pool
But, you know, people... They weren't your friends.
I have friends who are still relatively lefty and they're just like, we're friends.
blaire white
So do we forgive them when they come around?
Because I'm noticing on a lot of issues lately, a lot of people coming around.
The trans kid thing is a big deal because I've been ringing those alarms for years.
And all of a sudden I have a big uptick in people jamming me.
But you know what?
Now I'm kind of seeing that that was a really bad thing.
ian crossland
I forgive them, but I don't trust their judgment anymore.
tim pool
Yes, correct.
You forgive them, but you recognize that they're likely going to turn on a dime the moment power and opportunity arises.
But the point is, the left was willing to capitalize on cowards who would empower them, and if those cowards are fleeing, then say, okay, fine.
If you wanna do work, look, if you got two groups and they're both building castles, and one group flees to you and says, we'll help you build your castle, you say, sure, start laying bricks.
But we're gonna keep an eye on you because we don't trust you and we think you're evil.
You forgive them because you have to give them an opportunity to do the right thing, otherwise they'll just never come around.
blaire white
But you keep that eye on them.
tim pool
But you don't trust them because these people are fickle and swayed by power.
blaire white
Easily, easily.
The COVID thing was a big one, because now, obviously, they really tried in mid-September To kind of see if they could get a foot in again, the establishment, can we do the masks again?
Can we do the... They were turned down even by college students, which was actually pretty cool.
But I posted about that and it was overwhelmingly this consensus from everyone that, yeah, we should stand against lockdowns again and masks again.
And it's so crazy to think there was a time not that long ago where that position was like, essentially, I mean, you said that it's like you were saying the N-word, that you didn't want to put a mask on.
You know, is treated like that.
You couldn't have that position.
So people do come around, but it doesn't take away that they were complicit when it happened.
You know, all the kids right now that are behind in school and development by years and years, they can't read in second grade.
It's like you still cause that.
So it's hard for me to forgive, but you do.
You're right.
brett dasovic
And the worst of the worst are the ones who just take whatever the most popular position is.
Anyways, did you see Ryan Long's It might be his greatest work since The Woke vs. Racist.
His magnum opus?
unidentified
Yes.
brett dasovic
When I saw that, I'm like, oh, he's going to be perfect at this.
And that's exactly what we're looking at, right?
People have been spoon-fed unbelievably simple narratives for the last six, seven years.
I mean, longer than that, but really in the last six, seven years, spoon-fed, simple narratives.
Now they're like, well, here's one that's just not quite so cut and dry.
tim pool
Ryan Long on YouTube.
Ryan Long comedy.
Actor doesn't know whether to support Palestine or Israel.
brett dasovic
It's genius!
tim pool
You gotta watch it.
It's masterfully done.
brett dasovic
I never miss a stance.
tim pool
It's the best quote.
It's a sketch, but then he actually goes and asks people, like, who are you supporting, Palestine or Israel?
I'm like, no, I'll leave you out of this.
brett dasovic
It's just some guy eating lunch.
It gets complicated.
ian crossland
It's like so interesting that a potential communist revolution in the United States was disrupted by Islamism, or whatever you want to call it, by like some external- because people are like, Nazism!
unidentified
No!
ian crossland
Communism!
Nazism!
Communism!
Nazism!
And then all of a sudden you realize, whoa, aliens are real, like, there's outside forces- Wait, what?
Well alien being outside the system.
I mean it was a kind of tongue-in-cheek joke But there's some out external force that comes in that maybe even a bigger threat than what you thought your internal Conundrum was all over and like and then you get this communist.
I don't know I don't want to call black lives matter communist straight up, but do you get this?
There's communist tendencies within it.
I see supporting Marxism It's the oppressor versus oppressed.
If you're constantly supporting the oppressed, you're always going to look for oppression.
You're always going to create oppression.
tim pool
Let me pull up this tweet and then we'll carry on the conversation because this is a good example of the left and what they do.
Andy No tweets, multiple cars in Ladera Heights, Los Angeles vandalized with swastikas, setting off fears a white supremacist was targeting the black majority neighborhood.
Antifa helped bring attention to the incidents.
Last week, Robert Haymore was arrested.
He's a 37 year old black male.
serge du preez
Nice.
ian crossland
What, the guy who committed white supremacy was a black male?
tim pool
Yes.
And so there are a lot of stories like this.
There used to be a thing called like the, what is it, the hate crime hoax map?
Yeah.
There were so many that were proven and debunked that this is what you get.
I feel like the modern state of American politics is Regular people and like people like us are just desperately trying to figure things out and keep things together.
And then you have conservatives who are in alignment to a great degree with that, but want more traditional values and are willing to have those debates.
And the far left was completely lying about everything and calling for like murder and terror and you name it.
blaire white
And that's so like one of the most sick things about when you finally kind of realize that a lot of the hate crimes
are Faked and that there is this like demand and a supply that
isn't mean the demand is then you start to question a lot of
Things because it's like okay. So you have this entire ideology structured around who's the oppressor?
Who's not and as we've established we know that that's their warped in their sense of that
But it's like that's the telltale sign right there and they never truly address how many are faked either
I mean, I feel like once a week there's like, you know, gay man has, you know, the anti-gay F slur written on his car, and then it's like his cousin comes out and says, he put that on there, and then no one addresses it ever again.
brett dasovic
Give the Bubba Wallace one where it was like that news, the garage pull, and the FBI went out there to investigate your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen.
tim pool
Sort of.
It's your fractional reserve banking system stripping your resources away from you so they can go investigate a garage pull rope.
blaire white
Jesse Smollett is really the only example I can think of off the top of my head where, like, you know, people, everyone kind of had to call out the BS eventually, but people hung on as long as they could.
tim pool
No, but a lot of people never apologized for that.
blaire white
Oh, no, yeah.
tim pool
Remember when Ellen Page went on, was it Colbert or whatever, and was like screaming like, And it's just like, bro, the whole thing was fake and it was plainly obvious to most people.
blaire white
And then she had her own little rainbow Jussie Smollett moment.
She said that she was in West Hollywood, the gayest place on earth.
tim pool
Well, now we're talking about Elliot Page.
blaire white
Oh, I'm sorry.
brett dasovic
Different page.
blaire white
I'm the one to call Elliot.
But she had her own little wannabe moment because these actors need to stop writing their own stuff.
Oh my god.
How am I the worst one?
That person said that they were accosted in West Hollywood by someone who screamed, I'm going to gay bash you.
So they can't even make it believable.
Jussie Smollett is like Chicago attacked by Trumpers and Elliot Page is saying, Someone was homophobic in West Hollywood, and if you've ever been there, every street's a rainbow street.
tim pool
And like someone saying something so specific.
blaire white
Pretty sure when you're gonna get gay bashed, they don't tell you they're gonna do it, they just do it.
tim pool
But like in West Hollywood of all places?
blaire white
Of all places.
You could've at least said Compton.
You could've at least said you went down a wrong street.
tim pool
Downtown LA.
brett dasovic
It would have been like if the people who did that supposedly did it to Smollett said like, I'm gonna do a racism on you.
I'm gonna do a racism on you.
unidentified
But they said this is MAGA country.
blaire white
WeHo isn't exactly straight country, Elliot, but you know.
brett dasovic
Taking advantage of the fact that people don't know just how cold that 16 degrees below zero is in the Midwest that time of year.
tim pool
But also the area where Smollett was is like a non, mostly non-residential area.
It's like, but next to a bunch of corporate offices.
And so because of that, me and my friends would skate down there because no one's there to yell at you.
So when I heard that story right away, I was like, what?
He was by the NBC building?
blaire white
Like... Right.
That's how I felt when I saw the Elliot Page stuff.
I'm like, the Rainbow Street.
Someone said they're gonna get... Okay.
Okay.
I mean, it's... But it's also sad, though, because people really are, even though it's rare, victims of that kind of stuff.
And it's so horrible to lie about.
tim pool
Considering the bigness that's happening now with, like, Israel-Palestine, forgive me, friends, but it is very difficult to believe them when they're like, Israel is indiscriminately doing all of these things.
I'm like, I just...
You know, man, look, I don't know, because it's long, it's a 75-year conflict, and longer than that, technically, going back thousands of years, but all I can say is the left lies about everything, so, sorry.
Have a nice day.
blaire white
There's something bizarrely impressive, though, about their dedication to a narrative that, like we said, that supply doesn't meet that demand, they'll make it meet it.
They will make it.
They will artificially inflate things.
They'll make it so.
There's something bizarrely sickly impressive about it.
brett dasovic
But it's also financially beneficial for the media who become useful idiots for those types of, you know.
At the lowest end of the spectrum, they're the people that are just doing what they're told and it's what the media wants from it.
And then the worst are the activist reporters who are happy to kind of obfuscate the truth for the sake of Spinning a narrative a certain way, and there's money to be made from it in that direction, not just social change.
blaire white
Yeah, it's very clickable, obviously.
Elliot Page, Acosta, really?
It's clickable.
brett dasovic
By the way, that, speaking of which, that, if I remember correctly, so just don't go, I believe there was a book coming out at that time.
Oh yeah, there was a book tour.
There's always the, like, we, we kind of, we call it like the, uh, the bad decision to memoir pipeline on our show.
Cause it's a lot of celebrities, right?
They, they do bad things in their twenties, which they're celebrated for.
Their 30s come around, the rolls start to dry up.
Well, what is it now?
It's book time.
So they have to write a book.
tim pool
I wrote a book.
It's coming out tomorrow, actually, and I have to tell you this very horrifying story.
Ian told me that he was selling me an unlimited Soul Ring, but it was a revised Soul Ring.
brett dasovic
I was never the same after that.
tim pool
Yeah, never the same.
ian crossland
I kept the unlimited one for myself.
unidentified
Nerds around the world are outraged.
tim pool
You must buy the book if you want to see the... There's no book, I'm kidding.
ian crossland
You should write a book.
It's good timing.
blaire white
The way I believed that.
ian crossland
You could probably write a nine page book and sell a hundred million copies.
I was wronged!
tim pool
You must buy my book to understand just how wronged I was.
brett dasovic
It really is the thing though now.
We read these stories and I get through the first paragraph and I'm like, Last paragraph, when does the book come out?
Oh, it comes out in a month.
That's perfect.
They have to just in time to go on their media tour.
blaire white
Right.
Because if you really wanted to raise the alarm about homophobes running through the street, right, you would have done it a lot sooner than the week your book's coming out.
Because he said that that was like a couple of years prior.
I'm like, so maybe warn the other LGBT people.
They're going to get bashed on that street before that.
Right.
brett dasovic
What did Jesse smell?
I was like, look, I don't even have a book coming out.
Why would I lie?
blaire white
Right.
tim pool
And he's in trial and it's like, the defense says, he doesn't have a book coming out.
And they're like, oh, well, this man's innocent.
blaire white
Right.
It really happened.
ian crossland
The racism, or I guess the black and white gay straight stuff over the last seven years, six years, feels like cake, like icing on the cake.
We don't need it.
Like now that this is going off in Israel, and even Putin's like, yo, this is insane.
Protect the women and the children, you guys, kind of mentality.
Maybe he's not, but I don't think he's going in and executing women and kidnapping children.
I don't think that's the Russian plan.
tim pool
It's always propaganda.
ian crossland
They want land.
So, it's like, I think, it's almost as if, I mean, and then John Kirby, was it John Kirby, the speaker, what is his house, White House spokesperson, John Kirby, announced the funding for Ukraine's, quote, coming near to the end of the rope.
We're done.
We're done funding it.
Ukraine, it's over.
tim pool
Well, he got a phone call.
And they said, guys, we gotta fund Israel.
It's like, alright.
ian crossland
That's exactly what's happening.
They're like, we need to re-divert funds into what really matters.
tim pool
A lot of people think the principal motivator for Ukraine is not actually geopolitics, energy, gas.
It is the military-industrial complex needs to spend money.
Needs to be given contracts.
And so after Afghanistan, they're like, what do we do?
Quick, we need another war.
They lobby for it.
Now that Israel's heating up, they're like, ooh, okay, we don't need Ukraine anymore, guys.
Zelensky, You're on your own.
brett dasovic
There was that tweet that said Zelensky just became America's side chick.
That's pretty accurate.
tim pool
Oh, Ukraine.
Yep.
Don't be surprised if the US is backing away now.
ian crossland
I don't necessarily think it'll be like a religious war.
I mean, who cares what you call it?
But if there's a world war, like where Egypt and Israel and the United States and Germany and India all go to war with China and Iran and all these... Russia is the center linchpin of all of this.
Wherever Russia goes, wins.
So we need them on our side.
They're in the center of it all.
blaire white
And that was what was so demented about the Trump presidency, how like demonized he was for attempting to have a somewhat cordial relationship with Putin.
It's like, you can see a drop of their argument with like, okay, there's certain things to criticize, but you definitely don't want them against you, right?
serge du preez
No, definitely not.
And they've had a lot of issues with this as well within Chechya and with the fact they were in Afghanistan as well back in the 80s.
So I don't know.
I'm surprised he even came out and said anything.
ian crossland
I could see a war breaking out and then it goes really bad for the Americans and the Israelis.
Half of Israel, God forbid, is whatever, the worst case scenario.
And Putin watches and they stay neutral and they watch.
And then it gets to a point where the Arabs do some horrific things to humanity and Putin can no longer sit by and he joins the Americans and then ends the war.
serge du preez
That's what I said last night.
The thing I'm most afraid of is that the Shia and Sunni are able to get past their collective aggression towards each other and say, like, we have to deal with Israel.
That's the thing that I'm most concerned about.
tim pool
What is the root of their aggression towards each other?
Do you know?
serge du preez
Shia and Sunni disagree who is a spiritual successor on earth of Muhammad, who is a prophet.
ian crossland
And that's because his daughter, Fatima, was that her name?
serge du preez
No, he had many... I don't know.
ian crossland
It was like his brother had a group.
I think it was his brother and his daughter.
serge du preez
They have disagreed with the lineage of who is the spiritual successor.
ian crossland
I think it was his brother, or it was one of his generals, or it was one of his main disciples or something.
It descends from that man, and then the other disciples come from the daughter.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
I don't want to speak out of turn.
serge du preez
No, no, I understand.
It's very complicated.
ian crossland
So it's similar to how the Muslims and the Jews came out of Abraham's children.
Isaac and Ishmael both had their tribes, and same within Islam there was two tribes that came from Muhammad.
tim pool
Let's jump to the story from the New York Post.
Doxing truck drives around Harvard showing names, photos of students who blamed Israel for Hamas attacks.
That's the story.
Giant video screens hung on the sides of trucks posting the names of these individuals.
So the story is a bunch of student groups signed a letter that explicitly said,
the only one to blame for this is Israel.
And it's led to a major backlash.
A truck is now posting their names.
And you've got more CEOs signing on saying they will never hire any one of these students
who signed one of these letters.
And I'm sitting back, putting my feet in a bag.
Don't look at me for help.
blaire white
Hello, cause that's the same thing y'all did for every other issue, every other time.
So hi, that's karma.
tim pool
It's like, y'all, we begged you not to do this.
We said cancel culture is wrong.
People should have their free speech.
There are certain limits.
I don't think everything's absolute, right?
Some people don't want to associate.
I get it.
But the line the left drew was so ridiculous.
Like, comedy, banned.
You made a comment 10 years ago, banned.
Uh-oh, we misinterpreted what you said, you're fired.
Okay, you made the rules buddies.
You wanted to sign on to this.
They thought they were on the right side of history, but they weren't and now they will never get jobs again.
Talk about wasting your college years.
Must be brutal for them.
blaire white
And especially considering, like you said, I think it was you brought up the point, it's like most of them, actually I think it was Tim, sorry, that they're just jumping on because their peers are.
So you're not even thinking about it and you messed yourself up.
tim pool
There's a tweet.
blaire white
And you weren't thinking about it.
tim pool
I can't remember the guy who said it, I could probably pull it up, but he said, you know, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna cut anybody some slack over signing this, but you know, gotta understand a lot of students didn't even know what the letter was when they signed on to it.
And I'm like, wow, that's even worse.
serge du preez
Yeah, it is.
blaire white
Yes.
Then you kind of deserve it even more, actually.
brett dasovic
Then it has nothing to do with what they signed.
It's the fact that they signed it at all that they would be kept out of it.
I do have an issue with the idea of compelled speech, though.
There was a Breitbart article today or yesterday.
It was like, the top 10 Instagram celebrities with the most followers who haven't said anything about Israel.
blaire white
I don't love that.
brett dasovic
I was like, I thought 10 years ago, or five years ago, we said these people are idiots who don't know anything about foreign policy, and we didn't care what So this is a professor at Harvard who tweeted, I yield to no one in my revulsion at the statement apparently made on behalf of 30 plus Harvard student groups.
tim pool
But please, everybody take a deep breath.
Many in these groups never saw the statement before it went out.
In some case, those approving did not understand exactly what they were approving.
Probably some were naive and foolish.
This is not a time where it is constructive to vilify individuals, and I am sorry it's happening.
Oh, a Harvard professor, he probably agrees with him.
But let me just say, my friend, you know, there were a lot of Nazis.
I love, we'll just go straight Godwin's Law on these people because it's related to Israel.
There were a lot of low-level Nazi soldiers who did not know what was going on, but they loaded those people up onto trains and trucks, all the same, and were held accountable for it.
Just doing your job is not an excuse.
These people at Harvard signed onto a statement empowering it, and it was shockingly offensive to a lot of people.
Now, I don't know that my personal values, like I would fire someone who said something shocking and offensive to an extreme degree.
I'd probably just talk to him about it and be like, I don't know, man.
Like, consider the implications of what you're saying and whether it's strategically, you know, valuable.
And then, I do have my lines, though.
I think everybody does.
If, I put it this way, if you were hanging out with your buddies at a bar and one guy got up and started screaming racial slurs at somebody, you'd be like, dude, stop.
What are you doing?
Like, knock it off.
That's not cool.
And so, that's basically what's happening right now.
The issue I take with the far left was that their cancel culture was always extreme.
There was a race car driver whose dad said the N-word in the 80s, so his sponsors canceled on him.
Like, that's nuts.
Sarah Silverman did blackface ten years ago, so they get her fired from a movie.
I'm like, well, you know, she made her bed, she's gonna lay in it.
That's crazy.
If somebody has an extreme opinion, then I think it's like, you criticize them for it, you question them for it, and it depends on the severity of the opinion.
The problem was the left was getting people fired and cancelled for the most tepid conservative opinions.
blaire white
Nothing.
tim pool
Right.
blaire white
And they still do.
I mean, we can't also pretend as if, like, that's completely over.
It's definitely softened, but, you know, that still happens all the time.
So, fire with fire, I guess.
tim pool
Well, it's not fire with fire.
It's them trying to set a fire and burning themselves, and me sitting back and being like, get me out of it.
ian crossland
Yeah, live by the sword, die by the... That's that whole thing is like, you know, you get what you give.
We talk about a lot, like, the cult will come for you if you live by the sword, die by the sword.
It's an ancient phrase.
Like, if you live your life canceling people, Well, you're gonna surround yourself with other people that love to cancel people and then watch out one day for you.
blaire white
Comes around.
ian crossland
But that doesn't mean I won't forgive them and welcome them back, but I do not trust people that snap to crazy judgments of others.
brett dasovic
They don't even consider themselves friends, they consider themselves allies.
Comrades.
Yeah, they're comrades.
blaire white
But that's that slippery slope that they never seem to understand either.
You know, it's like, to them it's a fallacy.
To anyone who pays attention to how life works, humanity works, history works, That's not a fallacy at all.
tim pool
Live by the sword comes from the Bible.
serge du preez
Oh, it does.
tim pool
Matthew 26, 52.
Yep.
ian crossland
Was that something that Jesus...
tim pool
Then said Jesus unto him, put up against, again thy sword into his place,
for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
serge du preez
Yes.
ian crossland
What is he saying?
Like, so grab your sword and get an arm yourself?
Is that what he's saying, or does he say put it back?
tim pool
No, it's a proverb.
It's basically saying live by the sword, die by the sword.
serge du preez
Yep, that's where it comes from.
brett dasovic
I feel bad if I was Seamus, I would have known that.
tim pool
Right, Seamus is probably at home right now being like, you didn't know that?
You said an ancient saying!
ian crossland
Sorry Seamus, come back on the show.
I need you.
blaire white
But I guess also the part of it is they don't really realize it's a sword to begin with, right?
No, they don't.
When they're ruining people's lives over the most minor infraction, which they are so accustomed to doing, they don't actually think about that person's life after in any regard.
So to them, it's nothing.
So the slightest bit of blowback to them, it's like, maybe we'll rethink some things now.
brett dasovic
Actually, I think the worst of them do think about it.
I think they want you homeless in a box.
They want you to suffer and die alone on the streets with no money.
That's why it's so insidious that it's not enough to just have you scolded.
It's not enough to just have you criticized.
You have to have everything taken from you.
That bloodlust is never quenched.
unidentified
Right.
blaire white
And they'll say things like, it's about accountability culture.
It's like, first of all, who are you to hold me accountable for anything?
You're not God.
You're not my parents.
You're not any, you're no one.
But it's like, that's not accountability when your entire life is dismantled because of a tweet from 10 years ago.
And that's more on the extreme example of what happens, but it's not as if that's super rare.
It happens.
brett dasovic
There's something higher than both God and your parents.
They're the offended.
And that's, that's apparently above all else.
ian crossland
Yeah, accounting is like when you're taking an accurate cost-benefit cost analysis.
And if you're over-accounting, if you're doing it wrong, maybe you're charging too much for the value.
Like, ruining someone's entire livelihood because they wore blackface ten years ago, I feel like is over-doing it.
It's a mis-account.
blaire white
For you to determine what the accountability should be is like, even that, even if I'm going to be held accountable, let me figure out how to make amends with myself, with what I've done.
You don't tell me what to do.
serge du preez
Well, if you have a black face, you can still be the Prime Minister of Canada.
brett dasovic
Yes.
serge du preez
Yeah.
It's okay.
tim pool
Or Joy Behar.
serge du preez
Or Governor.
I forgot about that.
True.
tim pool
We never knew if it was blackface or the Klan costume, which one.
brett dasovic
He never answered.
That's the best part.
He's like, to this day, he's gonna take that to his grave.
It'll be in his memoir when he writes a book.
tim pool
Schrodinger's racism.
ian crossland
Are you talking about Gavin Newsom?
unidentified
No, Trudeau.
tim pool
Not Trudeau.
ian crossland
The governor.
brett dasovic
Yes, yes, yes.
tim pool
Who?
Northam?
ian crossland
Governor Ralph Northam?
serge du preez
Yeah.
brett dasovic
And that's just to distract you from the whole nine-month abortion thing.
serge du preez
Yeah, yeah, which is crazy.
It's wild.
ian crossland
I was just like getting uh like all that I feel like we're talking about racism cancel culture that stuff is like it feels like vomit that's like kind of out of me now but I keep it's like still with me kind of but then I think about like Israel Palestine and it's and then I feel like I'm burning in hell so I'm not sure yeah this is crazy this is 2019 it's nuts four years ago yeah blackface and kkk garb and we don't know which one he was so he is in a superposition of both offensive costumes at the same time It's like I actually cloned myself and I'm both people at the same time.
tim pool
Well, no, it's just like, if he's not going to tell us which one he did, then he's both.
brett dasovic
It's because like both has like their own like individual problems with it that make it worse.
So he's like, he doesn't want you attaching whatever's worse about either one of those in particular ones to that exact costume.
tim pool
You know, the crazy thing is it was in their yearbook or something.
serge du preez
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was.
I think Trudeau's was also.
I think it was a yearbook thing.
blaire white
But that's also kind of the revisionist history that goes on and people really pretend as if like Nazi jokes were not acceptable even like 10 years ago.
tim pool
There's a picture of Taylor Swift dressed up like Hitler on Conan or something like that.
blaire white
Everyone kind of did it.
That's the reason you can pull up all these mainstream celebrities.
It's like there's a reason why they weren't canceled in the moment and then it aired on live television.
It's because we kind of did have a sense of humor.
unidentified
Who'd you say dressed up as a Nazi on Sarah Silverman?
ian crossland
Oh, really?
Interesting.
tim pool
As Hitler.
ian crossland
I'm pretty sure.
serge du preez
And it's okay because she's Jewish.
That was what the whole point was, at least.
tim pool
I mean, comedy is okay.
You had Count Dankula's famous video where he had the pug doing the salute, and it was like...
He said the cutest thing in the world doing the most repugnant thing possible.
That was the joke of it He was insulting Nazis and then there's a story about like some guy actually in Germany trained his dog to do it And then he got in trouble.
Yeah, cuz they were like you how dare you insult us, but they tried they tried to lock him up and Yeah.
I mean, that's scary.
blaire white
That's scary.
serge du preez
Well, they did.
tim pool
Didn't they actually do it?
He went to court.
I think he had to pay a fine or something.
He did get arrested, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, he did.
serge du preez
He got arrested, and I'm pretty sure he got tried for it and went to prison.
He did.
tim pool
He didn't go to prison.
I don't think he went to prison.
serge du preez
I don't know.
unidentified
I don't remember.
tim pool
I thought he had to pay a fine or something.
But then he made another video where he has a white pug and a black pug, and he made the black pug do the black power fist, which is effectively the same thing.
That video was so good.
And then like as it's doing it, there's a knock on the door and he's like, oh no, it's the labor party.
And then he has to like hide all of his books.
And then he's like, I got to hide books.
And then he's going through his bookshelf.
He's like, uh, and then he grabs the Torah and he's like, oh crap.
serge du preez
Oh crap.
ian crossland
It looks like he was fined.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
800 euros.
brett dasovic
And I mean, that type of humor, that was very, very, there's actually a picture of like Taylor Swift at like a Halloween costume from like 2009.
And the guy she's with has a swastika on his shirt.
Wow.
But the thing is, they'll just overlook it.
If you sell enough pumpkin spice lattes and albums, they'll just let it go.
blaire white
But also, there's something to be said about the fact that it wasn't that offensive back then.
People would see it as funny, even though obviously it's egregious imagery and it reminds you of, obviously, the atrocities.
But there was a time when people didn't necessarily Internalize it as that person actually being a Nazi.
It was really just a Halloween costume.
ian crossland
Yeah, we'll get back to the place where symbols aren't the same thing as actions.
Sometimes they wave in and out of reality, like you forget what a symbol used to mean or it means something new and then it no longer means it.
What's more vile?
Having a swastika on your shirt or killing someone?
Killing someone.
tim pool
Or celebrating and defending those who do.
Like this is the point.
People need to understand the actual moral qualms that exist with cancel culture.
It's not so much that someone said something shocking and offensive, so they got fired.
It's that what they said actually wasn't shocking and offensive, and they got fired.
So when, like, Sarah Silverman does a bit about blackface, she's trying to be a shock comedian.
We get what she's doing.
She's not literally intending to insult black people.
But she got fired from a movie over it.
That's ridiculous.
When Harvard students sign a letter blaming Israel for the mass murdering of civilians, Then we're kind of like, I can understand.
Look, you should not hire these people.
And I'll tell you why.
It's not cancel culture.
Anyone who signed that letter showed that they are stupid, did not read it, did not think ahead.
Do you want to hire someone to your company who blindly marches with morons, or do you want to hire someone who's like, I read that letter and said no way?
blaire white
It's one of two options, you're stupid or you're evil, and neither one of those are someone I would want in my life in any capacity.
tim pool
Why not both?
blaire white
Definitely not someone I'm giving money to.
Or both, or both, most likely both, but you know.
tim pool
But that's it, it's like, Sarah Silver makes a joke and other people have made jokes, like, okay, keep your job, I don't care.
And then they explicitly defend terrorism and it's like, okay, you know, you're bad people.
I don't want to be around you.
What do you say?
Let's jump to this story from ABC News.
That's what I say.
Trump criticized for calling Hezbollah very smart as he talked of potential risks to Israel.
The former president also called Israel's defense minister a jerk.
What I absolutely love about the story is ABC News doesn't actually give you the full picture.
Trump did not just say Hezbollah was very smart.
Trump said they attack me for saying things like this when I point out that, you know, Hezbollah, they're smart.
They know what they're doing.
They're going to attack from the north.
And then an Israeli defense minister said, I hope they don't attack us from the north because we're weak there.
So then Hezbollah does because they're smart, right?
They're attacking Trump over this now, trying to make it seem like he's anti-Israel or something like that.
ian crossland
Intelligence doesn't make you good or evil.
You can be evil and intelligent.
You can be good and intelligent.
He said Xi Jinping's intelligent.
He was right.
The guy's not dumb.
He's smart.
That's not a claim of good or evil.
So yes, people can be very smart.
It does not qualify their morals.
blaire white
There was some celebrity that got canceled a couple years ago, or maybe it was longer than a couple years ago, for saying that Hitler was smart.
ian crossland
He was!
blaire white
Right, that's not even arguable.
ian crossland
I would consider him evil, but he was definitely had high intelligence.
blaire white
Absolutely evil, right?
I mean, to even reach the position of power.
I mean, you got to give Trump intelligence points just for reaching the point of presidency alone and then, you know, being a billionaire.
tim pool
But look at this.
Michael Tracy nails it.
He says, It's hilarious when Republicans try to attack one another for not standing with Israel hard enough.
They all have the exact same position.
So, so, so must desperately latch on to trivial turns of phrase like it means anything.
Yeah, I'm sure Trump is a huge fan of Hezbollah.
I want to play the clip.
DeSantis War Room says new.
Trump praises Hezbollah calling the Iran-backed terror group very smart hours after they attacked Israel.
But actually, listen to this.
donald j trump
And then two nights ago, I read all of Biden's security people.
Can you imagine?
National defense people.
And they said, gee, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack from the north because that's the most vulnerable spot.
I said, wait a minute.
You know, Hezbollah is very smart.
They're all very smart.
The press doesn't like when they say it.
You know, I said that President Xi of China, 1.4 billion people, he controls it with an iron fist.
I said, he's a very smart man.
They killed me the next day.
I said he was smart.
What am I going to say?
But Hezbollah, they're very smart.
And they have a national defense minister or somebody saying, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack us from the north.
So the following morning they attacked.
unidentified
Yeah.
donald j trump
They might not have been doing it, but if you listen to this jerk, you would attack from the North because he said that's our weak spot.
tim pool
This is why Trump went, this is it.
This is why the people who listen to Trump end up supporting him.
Like Brandon Strock's story where he was like, I'm going to debunk this narrative.
Listen to Trump actually talk and went, Oh, like had this transformation.
Trump is roasting the media for insulting him for saying that Hezbollah and Xi Jinping are smart.
It's crazy to me.
That's plainly true.
ian crossland
Identifying your enemy's strengths is one of the first steps in defeating your enemy.
brett dasovic
The simpler explanation here is it's just verifying people and they're not sending their best all over again, right?
The media is just taking advantage of the fact that a lot of the people who are watching it I don't know much about the Hezbollah attack in the North.
Did the Israelis set them up?
into the clip through the whole way.
And he does fall into that trap.
He's been known to fall in that trap.
But the people that are going to look at this and take that as an own already are looking
to hate him.
ian crossland
I'm wondering, I don't know much about the Hezbollah attack in the north.
Did the Israelis set them up?
Did they create an area of the north that they said was weak in order to draw Hezbollah
in so that they could get them where they want them?
And maybe Hezbollah's not as smart as he thinks they are?
I know nothing about it, I'm wondering.
Because why would the Israeli defense minister announce their weakness out loud?
serge du preez
Well, I mean, we saw that even in the war on terror.
We saw people, like, openly saying, like, this is the next troop movement and stuff like that.
And people who were obviously watching CNN in Afghanistan were like, oh, okay, well, now we know where to go.
Now we know where to defend, etc.
It's just like a huge, it's a huge operational misguiding.
What's the word?
I'm trying to think of the word here.
Hubris?
I'm being not hubris, but just like it's like why would you do that?
It's just like it's a mistake, you know to say that like to literally tell where you're weak.
They're probably gonna watch your news media and figure it out.
Someone's gonna be watching and that's like that's the mistake they made.
I don't know.
I don't know if they actually goaded them into it though.
ian crossland
I know very little about the Hezbollah moves on the north, but if they've got Hezbollah out of position right now, you know that might not be a bad thing for them.
blaire white
I mean I will say I don't know much about that situation either however watching that first of all makes me appreciate how funny just the way he talks is and I always know he's gaining more power and sort of like on his way back up when he starts getting more unhinged in his speech because he's really funny and that you just can see it but also during in the time we're in right now with everything going on that peace time that we took for granted Maybe not us, but a lot of people took for granted during his presidency.
It's looking a lot sweeter to have again, hopefully.
tim pool
It makes me more pro-Trump than, I'm not going to say ever, but... It's gotten so bad under Joe Biden that people are begging for Trump back.
It's kind of funny.
serge du preez
Yeah.
ian crossland
Yeah.
First time I ever in my life have considered voting for Donald Trump was today.
unidentified
Really?
ian crossland
It's because I don't see another war commander that we have running for president right now.
blaire white
Right.
serge du preez
True.
tim pool
Joe Rogan said something similar.
If it's Biden or Trump, he would vote for Trump over Biden.
ian crossland
I would take Vivek.
I just feel like, what's his presence?
I don't know, is he actually challenging Donald Trump?
But I mean, I trust Vivek face to face.
I like where his head's at, where his spirit's at.
But Don's got the experience of working in the White House for four years, and I feel like we're in a very desperate situation.
tim pool
Not just that, Donald Trump negotiated internationally for decades.
ian crossland
This is what he was doing.
It goes back to my belief that we need the Russians as allies if we're gonna hold the line.
blaire white
And he has that, you know, going back to what I kind of said, that like slight unhinged thing, that's actually a very positive thing.
Like we were kind of saying before we went on air, it's like, why wouldn't you want the world to be ever so slightly afraid of messing with our guy?
I mean that's just common sense.
tim pool
When Trump said, there's that phone call that got released or whatever where Trump is like, you know I told Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping that if they invaded I would nuke them and maybe he didn't believe me but maybe 5% is good enough.
ian crossland
Something like that.
blaire white
But that's real!
Like, that's actually kind of how the world works, you know?
ian crossland
They will nuke you, it's like, uh... Speak softly and carry a big stick, is Teddy Roosevelt.
But the big stick isn't just the nuclear armaments that we have, it's the ability to utilize them.
That's the big stick.
Biden doesn't seem to have that.
People aren't afraid of that guy.
blaire white
No, no.
And that 5% margin that you just said, it's like, that's enough.
That's enough to not want to do it.
tim pool
She, like, calls Vladimir and he's like, I just got off the phone with Trump.
And Vladimir's like, yeah, me too.
And he's like, did he say he was gonna nuke you?
He did.
Do you believe him?
I don't know, man.
Let's chill out.
brett dasovic
Better to not risk it.
tim pool
He's gonna nuke you.
That's crazy.
ian crossland
That's funny.
Did he get on the phone a lot with Putin?
tim pool
Well, I don't know to what extent it actually was conveyed.
I am quite worried at the idea of a U.S.
president threatening to nuke another nation, but the general idea is...
Peace through strength, right?
There was no conflict.
There were no new wars.
In fact, wars were winding down and Trump was trying to get our troops out of the Middle East and working on peace agreements.
blaire white
The proof is in the pudding.
No matter how people want to portray his efficacy, it's like we did just have one state of being, which was there wasn't anything like that's going down.
brett dasovic
It would also be interesting for people who might be more open to it now, who just either didn't care, didn't pay attention, but to look into the negotiations between him and other countries, or the Abraham Accords, to look at what happened, or maybe now they look at him going into North Korea.
With a new, you know, in a new light because they're seeing just how volatile overseas relations actually are, that might actually play in his favor.
ian crossland
I'm concerned if a global war goes hot, which I mean, it's already heating up, but that remember World War One, the Bolshevik Revolution, immediately after the war, shortly after the war began, the Communist Revolution in Russia.
So that would happen in the United States, that the pro-Palestine, all these marches and stuff, that there would be an armed uprising in the United States to take control of the country, to lead it to protect Palestine over Israel.
And then I could see us having the internal struggle, not even being able to help Israel because we're dealing with our own crap.
So I think if we can get ahead of it, prepare for it now and prevent it.
tim pool
It's the other way around.
The far left is being run over the coals for supporting terror.
ian crossland
I'm glad.
The difference is they didn't have the internet in 1914, so they didn't see it coming.
But we see it coming.
We see this crazy, manipulative, underdog-always-first strategy, and it's not working, and the government doesn't like it either.
That's the benefit of it.
tim pool
Always first?
ian crossland
Yeah, it's like, always make the underdog win!
tim pool
Oh, right, right, right.
serge du preez
Marxism!
blaire white
And then lie about who the underdog really is, right?
tim pool
Yep, it's them when they're losing a need to win.
It's their friends when their friends are losing a need to win.
If they're winning, they're still the underdogs, they're still losing.
brett dasovic
And there's always more work to be done.
serge du preez
There is.
Yeah.
But I see what you mean by that.
The thing about 1917 is that they literally left the war.
They left the war because they were fighting the war since the beginning, I think.
And then they had a civil war from that.
But yeah, I can see where you're drawing the analogy towards.
I don't know.
brett dasovic
Also with what's going on here, right?
It's like a lot of this is college kids that are LARPing as revolutionaries and it's not really the same thing.
I really do believe in a lot of respects that things don't get worse until food starts rationing and people can't feed their families and then you have a lot more to worry about.
ian crossland
The French thing is interesting.
Did you see the French, the revolts in France?
tim pool
They were protesting.
ian crossland
Yeah, and they were protesting pro-Palestine, and then the government said, that's illegal, and then they started protesting that the government made their protest illegal, and then things are getting hot.
brett dasovic
It's like a Uno reverse.
ian crossland
That happened within like two days.
tim pool
Dude, I, you know, tomorrow is the global jihad day, and there's all these protests all over the world in support of Hamas.
It's crazy.
ian crossland
What advice is just, you know, if you're armed, you know, stay safe, stay armed, stay in your house.
tim pool
I mean, look, hey, I don't live in a city.
We were out in the middle of nowhere, so I'm good.
ian crossland
Like some people are like, just go about your business, don't let terror stop you.
tim pool
Everyone, look, everyone here is fine except for Blair.
Blair's on a plane tomorrow.
blaire white
Right, love the day y'all booked me, but real question, half kidding, mostly serious, am I crazy for kind of wanting to drive home?
ian crossland
No, no, stay another day.
tim pool
Yeah, hang out.
blaire white
I feel like I'll think about it.
ian crossland
I'll put a flight off tomorrow as well.
blaire white
Because I don't want to feel like I'm being histrionic about something, but it's also like, I mean it's the Friday the 13th, it's just crazy.
tim pool
We'll just, we'd love to have you, we'll extend your flight and then tomorrow we play poker.
blaire white
I'll think about it.
tim pool
Don't travel on Friday the 13th, jihad day.
blaire white
Yeah, and the solar eclipse and that Red Heifer thing, like what?
brett dasovic
Something happens and they're like, look, you had all the warnings in the world.
blaire white
It's something about the Red Heifer that particularly is like, I don't know.
ian crossland
Regarding the Red Heifer, that's like the move for the extremist religious sect of the
Israeli government that they want to bring about the third temple and instantiate the
second coming.
I'm concerned that if they try and force it through militancy, the first coming, right,
like the Messiah will finally come for real.
tim pool
But Christians and Jews believe the same thing about the Red Heifer, don't they?
It's just that for Christians it's the second coming and for Jews it's the first coming.
serge du preez
Yes?
tim pool
I don't know, I'm not a religious scholar, I was just reading some articles about it.
blaire white
But isn't like if the Messiah comes, isn't that He doesn't just stay and chill and like live with us, right?
That's the end of the world, right?
ian crossland
The Messiah leads an army and conquers the world and brings world peace.
tim pool
But is that Christian or is that Jewish?
ian crossland
I don't know.
They don't say.
serge du preez
So within Judaism, the Messiah has not come yet to be the first coming.
And I don't think in that A worldview that it's the end of the world.
Within Christendom, if the second coming occurs, then yes, it does mean the end of the world.
ian crossland
In Catholicism particularly.
It's different in different sects of Christianity too.
blaire white
So I guess we'll see who's right.
tim pool
What is it in Mormonism?
Because this would be the third coming.
serge du preez
Yeah.
blaire white
Really?
serge du preez
Yeah, it would be the second or third.
Yeah, third.
Third coming, I guess you're right.
tim pool
Yeah, because I could be wrong, but Mormons believe that Jesus came like a thousand years later to North America or something like that.
serge du preez
Joseph Smith, is that his name?
Yeah, I don't know if it was 1,000 years later or when he was currently on Earth that he traveled across the ocean.
I don't know.
ian crossland
My concern is that when realism kicks in, if you try and force this thing through military and execution, that it's going to backfire.
The Israelis think that they're going to do some good by doing this.
I have a fear that it's going to backfire on them.
blaire white
That's the real side of it.
ian crossland
I just, I don't think it can be forced with military.
I don't know.
I hate to see, because it was in a book, that we're going to just kill all these people and force in front of the world with video, with internet video.
Like, you think you can accomplish, accommodate war atrocities with internet video?
It's not the right time for that.
blaire white
Because if you really believe it's a prophecy and it's supposed to happen, it's going to happen whether you push it or not, right?
So just chill, please.
Everyone chill.
brett dasovic
She's like, I got a plane to catch tomorrow.
Would you guys chill?
blaire white
Honestly, I have a life to live.
ian crossland
You have like 20 songs I haven't recorded yet.
I'm like, every time I go to play video games now, I'm like, I am wasting valuable time.
It's which is good.
What's that?
tim pool
And you're running out.
ian crossland
I know.
That's what it feels like.
Like I just spent the last two years playing video games at night, not worrying.
Like, uh, I can't wait for tomorrow.
What the hell's tomorrow?
Like, this is now, this is it.
This is time.
Time is not real.
It is always right now.
And it's like no time to wait.
I mean, there's this create what you want to create right now.
Now is the time.
blaire white
Yeah.
And there's been several incidents in the past few years that we should have just learned that and kept knowing that, right?
But it comes into more clarity during times like this where it's like half joking, but half serious on a plane.
And I'm kind of scared about it.
You know, it's like it comes into clear view that reality.
ian crossland
I was in a band called The Panic for a long time, and I didn't really want to be in the band, but it was falling apart.
I was getting high beforehand.
I wasn't practicing properly.
And eventually they're like, all right, Ian, you're out of the band.
I was like, no.
And then I gave it everything.
And they're like, it's too late.
And I was out of the band.
tim pool
Was the band called Blind Melon?
ian crossland
It was called The Panic.
Yes, it was Blind Melon, actually.
I was the original.
tim pool
Bro, watch the music video for Blind Melon, No Rain.
ian crossland
Great song.
tim pool
It's just like Four Ians.
ian crossland
But the lesson I learned is... I know, it's for real.
unidentified
What?
ian crossland
That'd be a good band name.
tim pool
I'm not kidding.
ian crossland
The lesson I learned is don't wait till the last minute to give it everything.
Give it everything right now.
blaire white
Go hard now.
serge du preez
Yeah, true.
tim pool
Bro, I swear, like, this video, it's just like Ian modeled his whole life off of these guys.
ian crossland
Changed my life in 1991.
tim pool
Not the little girl in the Bumblebee costume.
Where's the guy at?
Look at this guy.
Bro, that's like, that's him.
serge du preez
Look at him.
tim pool
It's literally just like Ian wanted to be him.
Look at that.
blaire white
It's very Ian-coded.
unidentified
Good song, though.
tim pool
We're trying to bring a little levity to your lives before the day of jihad, you know?
ian crossland
A little hippie justice?
tim pool
I mean, I gotta be honest, I feel like nothing's gonna happen.
ian crossland
That's the point.
It's terror.
They want you to be afraid.
tim pool
Exactly.
blaire white
Right.
unidentified
Exactly.
tim pool
They want people to, like, lay low, not work.
ian crossland
Disrupt the economy.
unidentified
Yup.
tim pool
Disrupt the economy.
But what do you do, man?
Because there's crazy people who are, like, even if you think that was their intention, some crazy person's gonna do something.
It takes one crazy person.
ian crossland
I saw Jack Posobiec tweeted out a video of, like, a car doing donuts in the middle of the freeway in New York.
Did you see that?
I don't know if it was related.
I don't know if they were screaming Palestine or something, but they were...
It blocked traffic in New York.
That was today.
blaire white
I think part of it is like, it feels like lately the world is crazy every day.
So for there to be a specific day where it's supposed to get more crazy, it's like, okay.
brett dasovic
It's also the internet though.
It's just the access to all of the crazy things that happen are now at your fingertips and in your pocket all the time.
Back in the day you would have had to watch like, maybe they include a couple stories like that at the end of the news if you watch the news when you're younger.
Not everyone did.
Now you're not getting it in the form of like some stuffy dude in a suit telling it to you.
It's in your pocket and you're scrolling through and you're algorithmically being programmed
to see how crazy the world is every single day.
And that's hard on anyone's brain.
blaire white
And that violence, you know, it's like, I was thinking about like the day everything kind of
started I was flying home from Vegas and I saw the imagery
of like people just murdered in the streets.
There was like a, I think it was the image of, you know, the elderly people outside the bus stop just.
And I cried in the car and I was actually shocked And then I was shocked that I was shocked about it because I'm like, how is it shocking that I'm crying when I'm seeing this?
Am I that desensitized that it's rare for me to cry when I see a scene like that?
And that's society as a whole, you know, it's like we are way too desensitized to seeing just things that you are not meant to see.
And in the past you would have had to go to like psychotherapy to cope with the fact that you saw it.
serge du preez
It's like hyper normalization.
Yeah.
ian crossland
I've kind of been keeping off looking at the videos.
I'm wondering today, should I expose myself to some of these traumatic deaths?
tim pool
I do.
ian crossland
You have been watching it?
tim pool
Oh, I look at all the videos.
I watch them all.
ian crossland
I saw one of a dog getting shot.
Did you see that?
That was tough.
blaire white
I don't care to see that.
I mean, oh my god.
tim pool
I watch it all.
My view is, it's not for everybody, but Do you know what the real world is?
Or do you just live in the safety bubble of the United States?
ian crossland
I feel like I can't communicate properly with the people that have been exposed to it unless I expose myself to it.
tim pool
My view has always been... I remember there was a viral video of three dudes murdering a guy in Europe that was on LiveLeak.
And I was like, I'm gonna watch it because this is what this is this this evil exists.
And I feel there's a lot of people like, I don't want to watch it.
I don't want to watch it.
And that to me kind of felt like, please, please let me stay under the covers.
The monsters are outside.
Whereas I'm like, you're better off like this.
Imagine this.
Little kids hide under the covers because they're scared of a monster or something, right?
Like, that's the worst thing you can do.
Because now you can't see the threat.
And if there is a monster, it's coming for you.
brett dasovic
Yeah, that kid has no situational awareness.
tim pool
Exactly!
Exactly!
So my attitude is like, you shouldn't understand these things.
You know, you watch these videos, you might get an understanding.
You watch videos of war and conflict, and then, if it ever comes up, you will understand it.
In the one in one hundred million chance you find yourself in a war or conflict, and you've watched these videos, you might have a slight bit of information or understanding that someone else wouldn't that could help you survive.
blaire white
Yeah, yeah.
And I can even identify that within myself, the fact that sometimes I do really, like, I'm not going on Twitter today because I don't want to see the extent of it.
That is exactly what you're saying.
That's actually the wrong thing to do.
I just think some people are, like, built differently.
Like, it'll affect them in a crazy way and sometimes it's not, like, as worth it.
But you're right.
brett dasovic
And be wary of who's posting it because The visceral reaction you will have to these videos will be used to manipulate you.
blaire white
That too.
ian crossland
Yeah, whatever context it's put up.
Because if it goes up and it says, this is an Israeli settler.
And you're like, oh, you get all this rage.
And then you find out later it was like a Sudanese dude or something.
And you're like, what in the hell is from like two years ago?
But your emotions have already fried and you're like built these new neural pathways.
tim pool
Well, look at the Covington kid story.
Everyone, even conservatives were messaging me being like, did you see what this kid did?
And I'm like, what did he do?
And they're like, look at the video.
unidentified
And I'm like, I have no idea what's happening in this video.
tim pool
Like there's a kid smiling in front of a guy who's banging the drum?
blaire white
Right.
tim pool
And they're like, yeah, but he like got in his face.
I'm like, I don't see that in the video.
Where did that happen?
And they're like, well, I'm like, wait, what?
blaire white
That's a great example of how twisted things were a couple of years ago, even more so than now in terms of that stuff where it's like you're watching something and you're not seeing it, but you feel like you have to agree that it's something bad happening when it's a kid just sitting there.
tim pool
There were a bunch of tweets, like Piers Morgan tweeted this thing, where he's like, you know, oh, people are debating.
They're asking, were babies beheaded?
We used to be outraged that kids were killed.
And what these people tried doing, I just get pissed off when you do this, they were trying to change the argument to, is this claim true?
And they made the argument, if you question it, you don't care that children died.
And I'm like, nobody said that.
And in fact, the fact that Piers Morgan did say it, he's a scumbag for saying it.
And I will not be manipulated by you.
You've just pissed me off.
We're allowed to say killing kids is wrong and recognize they killed kids while still being like, we'd like evidence.
brett dasovic
There was a guy who like tweeted, like, he's like, we don't need evidence.
Like that was just an actual tweet from someone.
Evidence isn't necessary.
I'm like, what?
tim pool
I think it was CNN.
said bomb Iran and they were like just to clarify even with no evidence he's like yeah and then was and this is crazy was asked So, you know, the U.S.
would be spread very thin.
He's like, my dad fought in Japan, my uncle fought in Germany.
He was literally invoking World War II to justify war with Iran without evidence right now.
Bone Boy's calling for World War III, dude.
These people are evil.
brett dasovic
John McCain is just rolling over in his grave right now, just pissed.
Rolling?
He's just pumped.
He wishes he could get out.
tim pool
He's not rolling, he's banging.
He's trying to get out.
brett dasovic
He's like, I can't believe I missed this one.
blaire white
He's like, round two, let's go, round two.
tim pool
It's the anti-war protesters spitting in their graves, you know?
blaire white
And the ease at which so many people that, again, like we're saying, have no concept of what it actually is and are people that are sometimes like me on those days where you don't look, right?
It's like the ease at which people land on Yeah, go in there.
Let's fight.
It's like, people get that too easy.
ian crossland
What do you think George Washington and Ben Franklin would say?
blaire white
Oh, I mean, I don't know.
tim pool
Wait, George Washington?
ian crossland
If they were here and Thomas Jefferson... I don't think George Washington was an orator.
tim pool
He was a general.
ian crossland
He was a pretty good speaker, too, but he was in Congress with everybody.
tim pool
Not to say that he wouldn't say something, though.
ian crossland
How would they feel about this?
Because, obviously, the Balfour Declaration's real.
The British set up The mandate for Palestine over there after World War I, like it were not... Are you saying there was no Palestine before that?
It wasn't, I don't know what it was called, but it was like, it was Ottoman for a while and then I think that they took it from the Ottomans after World War I when the Ottoman Empire blew apart, they got rid of the Ottoman Empire.
But it has just changed hands so much, but it's like, obviously, the United States has been involved with the formation of Israel in 1948.
Like, what do we do, George?
Like, what do we do, you guys?
Because they were considered terrorists, too.
unidentified
George Washington, King George called them terrorists.
tim pool
Well, I don't think he used the word terrorist.
ian crossland
The King, I think he literally did, actually.
tim pool
Did he?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Because terrorism comes from the French Revolution, which was after the American Revolution.
Let me see what the quotes are.
brett dasovic
And there is that term, it's like it says one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, and that's something that's going around.
ian crossland
Yes, and I would love to get the perspective of the guys that were called terrorists fighting for their freedom from an oppressive tyrant, because that's what they claim the Palestinians are right now.
tim pool
But yeah, I think it was the French Revolution where the word terrorism comes from.
Which was after the American Revolution.
serge du preez
It's a whole period of time, but the main one was after, yeah.

Tim, you're making fun of Ian now, but when Palestine does become the 51st state, we'll see who's laughing then.
Keep it real, Ian, but hope everyone stays safe tomorrow.
I'm honestly on edge.
Dude, when I read that story, it was like the other day.
I actually got, like, a sinking feeling.
I'm like, oof.
ian crossland
What story?
tim pool
That Hamas is calling for a global jihad on Friday.
unidentified
Yeah.
brett dasovic
And you're just like, and it's Friday the 13th!
tim pool
I know!
With the Ring of Fire eclipse happening the next day!
brett dasovic
Couldn't wait till Saturday!
tim pool
And the Red Heifer last month.
ian crossland
51st state, but we can't make them do it.
It has to be a petition from Palestine.
tim pool
Weird Nug says, saw a video of Palestinian children talking about how they wanted to stab and run over Jews.
Don't know how I feel about it.
Yes, it's a video from Gaza.
I believe it's Gaza.
And they're asking children coming out of school, like, what do they teach you?
And the children are like that, you know, they, Israel is bad.
There are enemies and we have to win and we're going to win and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
All right.
What do we have here?
What do we have here?
What is this?
Shane H. Wilder says, with Graham chomping at the bit for war, I have been contemplating the song Patriot's Dream by Gordon Lightfoot about patriots who go to fight while the old man in the hill smiles a wicked smile and he sends them off to die.
unidentified
Oof.
Oof, yeah.
tim pool
Christina Passifong says, I love you, Blair.
blaire white
Love you, Christina.
tim pool
U-Haul says, why you terminate my producer's account after re-streaming last Friday at Miami?
Not everyone can afford a paywall in Bidenomics.
Oh, I loved this super chat that came earlier.
So, for those that aren't aware, we did a special event that cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars to put on in Miami, and we sold tickets to it.
We also, for a variety of reasons, put it on the website as a members-only show, which I explicitly stated like two weeks before that we were doing this for several reasons.
One, because people in the audience can yell things and we don't want to have to be controlled, like, you know, get the whole show taken off YouTube because people yell things.
So we were like, look, it's just better for a lot of reasons to do it on the website as a members-only.
And we need to do things that drive memberships.
We need to literally create special programs, events that make it worth Being a member.
Now, here's the thing.
We just about broke even.
In fact, I think it's fair to say we arguably did not break even, but we're just about there.
A little bit of the merch, maybe after spending a year on working on this event and, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars, we maybe will come out with like a couple grand, which we then have to put right back in if we want to do more events.
And this dude As a member, Screen grabbed the show and broadcast it for free on YouTube, basically spiking our effort, and we're wondering why we did not have a better turnout.
unidentified
Ew.
tim pool
And why we- the member drive didn't work as well, and it's a substantial sum of money lost.
And to say that people couldn't afford the ten bucks...
Just to watch it on the website?
Bro, fine.
Whatever, man.
But all we did was that when the show wrapped and we got word that someone had broadcast the whole thing out, we just, we did a copyright takedown saying, you can't do this.
That's it.
That's all we did.
blaire white
As you should have.
ian crossland
If you're a member and you violate the terms like that, you're gonna lose your membership.
serge du preez
Yep.
tim pool
Well, I mean, it was just- That's my call.
It's so brutal because we can barely do these events.
ian crossland
It hurts because if someone's poor and they want access, but the rules are you cannot take it and steal it?
Sorry, man.
tim pool
None of our speakers got paid, and these are speakers who normally get paid, because they were willing to do it for us, because they're good people.
Uh, I worked two extra weekends and didn't get paid.
So, you know, even to say that it was break-even is only me, I think, being nice.
Because if someone else tried getting me to come to an event and to spend a week in another city and two extra weekends of work, insanely expensive for me to want to do that.
It's, it's, it's, it was a, I'll just say this, the amount of stress traveling, doing the show for a week somewhere else, A lot happened behind the scenes security-wise, and it is difficult.
And the goal is we want to bring people together, we want to create cultural events, and then we're also like, it's a good opportunity to do something that makes it valuable to be a member.
We want to spend that money.
It is stressful for me because I'm like, but we're going to get a lot of new members out of this, and we're going to create something memorable, and we're going to sell this unique merch.
And then there's some dude being like, screw your efforts, Screw all your hard work, screw all the stress you went through, we're stealing this and giving it to everybody for free, that way you can never do it again.
The end result of this is the dude who broadcasts it for free to everybody, like, it makes it difficult for us to do it again.
If I have to go and say, hey guys, we're not gonna break even on this, like, who's gonna wanna do it?
It's just me basically just losing money, and it's unsustainable, and then eventually run out, and then there's no more events.
So, that one particularly pissed me off.
blaire white
And as someone who witnessed just on a very, it was easy for me to come to the Austin one you did, but I witnessed how much stress you and the entire team was under.
tim pool
It was crazy.
blaire white
So all I did was have to walk into the dressing room and say hi and then go on stage, but I saw how much stress you guys were all under and it's like, yeah, you deserve to be paid for that.
tim pool
Well it's not even about deserving to be paid, it's that I want to do events.
We want to do more events.
If we don't make money, the events stop happening.
blaire white
Right.
tim pool
Because like, so, the tickets were $175.
After tax and everything, $200.
Why?
Otherwise we don't break even.
And if we don't break even, it's basically just losing money.
And so in a lot of ways, like the Austin event, I think we lost like, I don't know the numbers, like $20,000 or $30,000.
We lost.
blaire white
Not surprised.
tim pool
To do that event.
We lost to that event because we're like, building these cultural events and doing this is good.
It's something we should do.
And then fortunately, Public Square sponsored this event, which is the only reason we actually made it out on top and can do another one.
So Public Square, those guys are awesome.
And then after the show, we find out that 13,000 people watched live a free version of it, just ripping us off completely and spiking our efforts.
Yeah, it was so brutal, dude.
It was like getting punched in the stomach and being like, all that nightmare of working 48 hours straight with no sleep, gone, because some dude was like, I don't want to spend $10.
serge du preez
Yeah, man.
ian crossland
I want to shout out to Mosaic, the company that did the AV.
You know better than I do, Serge, but these guys did a spectacular job, took a lot of the stress off the team, and it was really great working with them.
And it looked so good.
serge du preez
Thanks, man.
Appreciate it.
But yeah, to the guy who's the producer, come on, bro.
What the hell?
tim pool
It's like, it's crazy to me that people are like, no, Tim, you should work for free!
You should give us free stuff because we can't afford it.
unidentified
Okay, commies.
ian crossland
Tim, remember your Robin Hood roots!
tim pool
No, it's just like... Give us taxes!
Then that was the last event.
If that's the attitude people have, I am not, I'm not, I'm not going to lose another 30 grand.
ian crossland
Yeah, not the night of.
If you're going to restream it, maybe we could consider putting it up later for the public.
tim pool
It went up right away on iTunes and Spotify.
It's up on iTunes and Spotify, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Okay, there you go.
serge du preez
Yeah, it's all up.
unidentified
But it's like, we're trying to survive.
tim pool
We're trying to build a company.
We're trying to win a culture where we're trying to do more.
And there are people who are like, I deserve it for free.
You should work for free.
I'm like, that's just the craziest thing.
blaire white
Hi, Commie.
tim pool
It's just so crazy to me.
It's like, dude, if I were to bill my hours for the event, the event is negative.
Heavily negative.
Say I love you, say I love you.
Let's read some more Super Chats.
Showbase, though, says, every Marine I know, including myself, is armed to the teeth and looking forward to delivering America to these people.
unidentified
Yikes.
tim pool
Glory be to God says a group of cartel members have called for a purge.
If Hamas is being led by the CCP, this could mean that China is using proxy groups to target American civilians.
May God have mercy on your souls.
That is one of the stories that's come out that China is trying to draw the U.S.
into war on four fronts so that when they take Taiwan, we can't do anything about it.
serge du preez
Spread us thin.
tim pool
The bonus hole says Commander Biden for Speaker of the House.
Bacon, grease, IV drips for Hamas.
Yikes.
blaire white
That's a bonus hole.
ian crossland
Is that Biden's dog?
brett dasovic
The dog.
He's gonna bite everyone.
ian crossland
He named his dog Commander because we didn't have a commander in the White House.
We needed one.
brett dasovic
Yes.
And then he bit like 12 people.
serge du preez
Yeah.
brett dasovic
Yeah.
tim pool
Ellen Schauer says, so with Poso's vids today, can Max come back and explain Accidental Targets of Opportunity?
That musical failure Phil Labonte was correct.
brett dasovic
Everybody on our show today was calling him the musical failure.
Oh yeah, it's great!
All the superchats were like, oh it's musical failure, Phil LaBonte!
ian crossland
I didn't get the context of that superchat, but I would love to have Max back on any time.
tim pool
Pasobek's been posting a bunch of videos showing what Hamas is doing.
There's a video, one of the videos that I've referenced.
They're trying to storm a kibbutz, which has got perimeter fencing, so they hide in the bushes until civilians pull up, run up and execute the civilians, and you can watch the full video in full detail.
And then, they, the car, as soon as the car opens the gate, they kill everyone inside of it and then run inside.
It's nuts, man.
unidentified
It is.
blaire white
So sick.
tim pool
Yeah, it's crazy.
Kupo Sooth says, please look up Sameer Khan in car with Alalaki.
CIA could not authorize a kill order.
Just waited until they were together and called it collateral damage.
unidentified
Wow.
serge du preez
Wow.
tim pool
Evil.
Crazy, man.
All right.
What do we have?
Jacob Hawley says, Tim and crew, I might not always agree with you or your guests, but I sincerely will be praying and hoping for your safety.
Be safe.
Look out for your friends and family.
Keep on the spiritual journey, Ian.
I've been praying with my pastor for you.
ian crossland
Thank you very much.
Look for me later on Twitter, closer to midnight.
You know what that is?
tim pool
It's all that psychic energy is being directed right at you and you're absorbing it.
unidentified
It's true.
ian crossland
You'll start to dream about me too.
tim pool
No, I'm telling you, people need to stop praying.
Ian's getting ripped and I saw him levitating and his eyes were glowing earlier.
ian crossland
You'll notice that when you watch someone a lot, it's kind of like a form of worship, like if you have someone on the internet that you like to watch and listen to, a video blogger, and then they might appear in your dreams and give you wisdom and things like that.
Just be careful with cult worship.
tim pool
Clayton Webb says, will y'all make freeze-dried instant coffee?
Want to put it in my gear.
That's actually a good idea.
On the surface, it's like, why would we do that?
But in terms of people who are going camping or doing survival stuff, then you definitely want something like that.
So I don't know if we have the means just yet, but we're working on a bunch of stuff.
We're working on supplements, but only a few.
I'm not a big fan of like doing the, you know, super brain formula, weird herbal garbage.
I don't do any of that stuff.
But protein powder and MCT, the reason why we're considering doing it is because I don't like what's on the market.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I will say Jocko Malk is the best protein powder I've ever had.
And so that solves a lot of my like, so I don't know if I need to make a protein powder, but I want an MCT protein blend.
So high fat content mix.
Then you just add water and it's like a milkshake.
That's what I'm talking about.
brett dasovic
You're like a Tim Cass MRE.
tim pool
I don't know about that.
I'm always our one though.
Like I'm always our fun once a year with your friends.
You crack one open and see what prize like what you get.
Oh, what do I got?
I got a weird thing a raspberry jam or something.
ian crossland
The videos do well when people do videos on YouTube of those too.
tim pool
But I mean, it's just, you know, I think you'll die.
ian crossland
You ever see the video of the guy eating like a hundred year old MREs from Civil War?
And he's like, oh.
brett dasovic
What they don't know is when people come out here back in the early days of Timcast,
come out here, Tim would then get new people here to try MRE.
tim pool
They're all downstairs.
What do you mean?
brett dasovic
We have a bunch.
But back then, it was when new people would come in, when more people were being hired.
Tim's like, hey, try this MRE.
tim pool
That's because the MREs had just come.
brett dasovic
Yeah.
tim pool
And they're in a big box.
And I'm like, have you ever had an MRE?
We got one right here.
ian crossland
It's like watching if you're sweating or not.
You're eating it.
tim pool
They have iron shavings and you pour water in it and oxidizes and heats up.
And that's how you cook the food.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
tim pool
MREs are fun.
It's like, it's like bring your kids out in the backyard and do a little fake, fake, fake camping trip and have a little MRE or something.
brett dasovic
I actually have a bunch of the.
Like the entree.
I ordered the entrees.
I would eat them before the show.
tim pool
Some of them are really good, and some of them are just... should be crimes.
brett dasovic
Yes.
For the most part, the ravioli's fine.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
It's Chef Boyardee, you know what I mean?
brett dasovic
The ravioli and those are fine.
Some of them, not so much.
tim pool
I think the pizza is not food, but I still liked it.
brett dasovic
We had pizza lunchables growing up.
tim pool
You want an MRE?
blaire white
I just want to eat a hamburger.
tim pool
You want to go run and grab one real quick?
I could, yeah, where are they?
Do we have any?
Are they in the store room?
brett dasovic
I don't know if there's any, I didn't see any down there last time.
I got a bunch, but they're just the, I have just the entrees.
tim pool
Oh, you can see if there's one in the store.
blaire white
I mean, I'll try it.
tim pool
It's when you go and you turn left and it's on the shelf on the left.
blaire white
Is it going to make me throw up or not?
tim pool
No, no, no.
It's just like, it's, it's just, it's like, I like- It's like store- When you go to the store, you get Hamburger Helper and stuff.
blaire white
Yeah.
It's just the prefab, freeze-dried, and... Well, I was gonna say, maybe get something that will make me throw out the better content, but... See, I like them, but that's because I eat, like, trash.
tim pool
We'll- We'll get them during the Members Only.
We'll- We'll crack open an MRE.
blaire white
That'll be the Members Only, get Blake.
tim pool
But they don't actually last that long.
I think their- their shelf life is like two years.
serge du preez
Yeah, it's not that long.
tim pool
Yes, but I only got them because it was fun.
And it's like, we should do a video where we crack open some MREs and eat them.
serge du preez
Yeah.
tim pool
A lot of it's just like not good.
You don't want to eat it.
It's like a lot of sugar, a lot of carbs.
serge du preez
Yeah.
tim pool
I can understand if you're in the middle of like a combat zone, you want to just jam some food in your gullet or whatever, but I don't want to eat this stuff.
We'll grab some more.
What do we got?
Bender the Offender says, I work and live near a steel mill in Ohio.
If a foreign power invaded the U.S., would the manufacturing plants be targeted for bombing, or do you think they would try to strategically take the plants over?
Depends on what they're doing.
If it's an invasion, they'd take them over.
But there would probably be some degree of damage to them.
But people gotta understand this about war.
You need resources for war.
unidentified
That's it.
tim pool
You can't just invade a country and then shoot.
Like, you have to take control.
Support your troops.
serge du preez
Yep.
Need supply lines and everything.
tim pool
What have we here?
Oh, what do we got?
Let's grab a super chat.
Gunface says, by these people's logic, shouldn't they be put up to pasture since we live on stolen land from the Native Americans?
That's the point a lot of people make.
The far leftists will not give up their own property.
But wasn't it Native Americans demanding back like Vermont or something?
serge du preez
Uh, I think so.
tim pool
Some politician said something about it, and they're like, okay, then give us our land back right now.
blaire white
And they're like, oh, wait, actually... Name a land that isn't stolen.
serge du preez
Right.
blaire white
And maybe I'll take you seriously then, if you can actually identify one.
tim pool
And also, it's so humanist, right?
These people are claiming that Native Americans own the land.
The deer and the bears.
serge du preez
Right.
unidentified
The wolves.
blaire white
Right.
tim pool
It was stolen from them.
blaire white
Speciesist.
Is that the word?
unidentified
Speciesist.
serge du preez
Speciesist, yeah.
tim pool
That's actually a thing people say.
blaire white
No, the vegans say that, right?
tim pool
Speciesist or speciesist?
Speciesist, I think.
Neglectful sausages, even in the future called Star Trek, the people on all the space stations of the Eco-Socialist Federation worked literally non-stop and owned little.
That is true, but you're referring to the military.
Like, Starfleet was effectively like the Navy.
So, well, of course people there worked all the time, they're in military service.
But, you know, everyone else on Earth had unlimited food.
Star Trek didn't address a lot of the issues that needed to address.
Like, I would like to open up the Star Wars, I'm sorry, Star Trek universe, and then have them explain how the Israel-Palestine conflict got resolved.
Like you're in the future.
Oh, those are not MREs.
blaire white
What are those?
tim pool
Those are not MREs.
ian crossland
Emergency food storage.
tim pool
That is not an MRE.
You grabbed the wrong thing.
ian crossland
This is what I was handed.
tim pool
Who handed you that?
unidentified
Charles.
serge du preez
I know who they are.
I know where some of them are.
ian crossland
What do they look like?
Are they white?
tim pool
No, they're brown.
serge du preez
Yeah, they're brown.
tim pool
They're brown and on the bottom of the shelf.
ian crossland
I'm gonna go take another look.
But these are emergency food, in case you are wondering.
These are pretty good.
tim pool
Those are the safe and ready meals.
ian crossland
I'll leave these up here.
Maybe we can show them off every once in a while.
tim pool
Yeah, we'll show them off on the members show, because we got them.
Creamy chicken flavored rice.
These are actually really good.
serge du preez
Yeah, true.
tim pool
Very delicious.
Actually, there was a period where we started cracking open too many of our emergency food buckets because the food is legit good.
There's like stroganoff.
And we would use it as a base and like cut steak and chicken into it and put cheese.
And I'm just like, we're supposed to be saving this.
It's Hamburger Helper.
Like these bags that he bought up.
They last for 25 years.
blaire white
I'm literally eating so hungry.
He needs to bring something good up, I swear to God.
tim pool
Well, the MREs you're supposed to just open and eat.
You know what I mean?
blaire white
Right.
serge du preez
Yeah.
tim pool
There's like the peach cobbler, but it's- I think it's- We have that down there.
serge du preez
I know where it is, but I can't leave.
tim pool
But it's just like a bag of goo.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It tastes so good.
serge du preez
Yeah, it does.
tim pool
It's probably high fructose corn syrup.
Victor M says, Tim, you should play Cursed Halo instead of Baldur's Gate 3.
What?
Well, I've done like four run-throughs of Baldur's Gate 3 already, so I'm basically done with it.
Now I'm just looking at mods.
I don't know what Corselo is.
But I've heard Starfield is too woke.
And like, people are abandoning it.
blaire white
Really?
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah.
serge du preez
Dunno.
Not sure.
tim pool
The big problem with Baldur's Gate 3 is that everyone in the game that you can be, like, everyone is pansexual
and constantly trying to bang you to the point where it's like, I'm- it's- it's really
annoying and I'm just skipping, skip skip skip skip, like
dude, it's- Karlak?
I- I- I- Okay, for those that- did you find it?
Oh, okay, he found one.
He found one.
ian crossland
Charles rectified it.
tim pool
Hey, let me see.
blaire white
So what's the actual, like, food?
tim pool
Chicken chunks, white and cooked.
ian crossland
That was the last MRE.
unidentified
Really?
blaire white
The last one?
tim pool
I think it was the last one.
ian crossland
It was the last one in the box I found, yeah.
tim pool
No, there's a bunch.
ian crossland
Nobody's eating it.
serge du preez
There's, like, an open one.
Or, like, a half-open one.
blaire white
How do I open this?
Do I need a knife or something?
serge du preez
No, you just gotta rip on the top.
blaire white
Okay, so I just bust it open and eat it.
tim pool
Well, no, no, no.
You open it as a bunch of little things.
As a bunch of little bags and pouches and stuff.
serge du preez
There's things you gotta heat.
There's, like, things to heat stuff up.
I don't know if I got it.
tim pool
I'm like, don't break a nail.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Alright, did you get it?
Are you opening from the wrong spot?
blaire white
Am I?
I mean, I handed a certain spot.
serge du preez
Oh, yeah.
blaire white
Okay, that was my fault.
My bad.
tim pool
These things are super easy to open.
You just tear it.
unidentified
What are you doing?
ian crossland
I saw an MRE out of the Ukraine.
I don't know if it's a real video or not, but it was like a fish.
A fish out of a bag.
blaire white
Alright, let's see.
tim pool
Hold it up so the camera can see it.
blaire white
So this is what it looks like.
serge du preez
With the directions.
You have a heating element and stuff, too.
blaire white
So this is chicken.
Let's see.
tim pool
Now you gotta open another bag.
Oh, there's Reese's in there!
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
Yeah, you wanna eat those?
See, it's secure because it's for when you're in the battlefield.
blaire white
It is secure, and I will say that, but if I was really on a battlefield, I don't know if I'd open it.
ian crossland
It's kinda loud.
blaire white
Oh, they do have Reese's!
It's not even like an off-brand.
serge du preez
It's Reese's Pieces.
blaire white
That's sick.
I'm gonna start with these, actually.
tim pool
What are the other ones?
ian crossland
What's that one?
tim pool
Trail Mix.
blaire white
Trail Mix.
tim pool
Chicken chunks?
blaire white
This is definitely- Let me see it.
It's like saucy.
tim pool
Saucy?
blaire white
Or like liquidy.
tim pool
Chicken chunks.
blaire white
Moist towelette.
ian crossland
Okay.
blaire white
I mean, that can come in handy.
tim pool
What do you do with- Is it mayonnaise or something?
What do you do with chicken chunks?
blaire white
Cheese spread.
brett dasovic
Yeah, we got crackers.
tim pool
So you put the chicken chunks on cheese- on crackers with cheese.
blaire white
Wait, this is looking like a whole feast, actually.
Yeah, it's a dinner.
Like, I could really actually be fine with this.
What'd you get? Tortillas.
Oh my god, I got everything.
Are you kidding? I thought it was gonna be some, like, gnarly shit.
unidentified
What is that?
blaire white
First strike, energy bar.
Gonna need energy in that battlefield, you know?
tim pool
What is that one? Orange powder? Orange drink?
serge du preez
Rehydration.
blaire white
Oh, extra light.
tim pool
Oh, there you go.
So I guess you put your chicken chunks on your tortillas and put cheese on them.
blaire white
Wait, I don't see the chicken chunks, though.
tim pool
It's that gray bag right there.
blaire white
It's this?
Oh, okay.
Okay, so what should I eat?
Tell me what to eat.
tim pool
You gotta open the tortillas first.
blaire white
Okay.
tim pool
Tortillas.
ian crossland
Oh, there's also a spoon.
tim pool
Well, no, you put them on the tortilla with cheese.
And you're making a chicken quesadilla.
brett dasovic
Okay.
unidentified
That sounds awful.
blaire white
Not the chicken chunks and the cheese spread.
brett dasovic
I could literally go get one of the spaghettis or something like that.
Might be more appetizing.
blaire white
Okay, look, it's a whole Taco Bell moment.
tim pool
Yeah, look, tortillas.
serge du preez
Nice.
blaire white
Loving that.
brett dasovic
And then, uh... I think I was the only person in the world that liked Taco Lunchables.
serge du preez
Taco Lunchables?
brett dasovic
Yeah, oh yeah, that was a thing.
tim pool
Taco Lunchables?
brett dasovic
Oh yeah, that was a thing.
tim pool
I remember those, I think.
brett dasovic
Before you were born, Serge.
blaire white
So you really don't cook this?
tim pool
Yeah, you just eat it.
It's like, we have cans of chicken downstairs.
You crack them open and you just eat them.
blaire white
Alright, I'm gonna fold it with a little tortilla moment.
tim pool
You gotta put cheese on it.
blaire white
I'm not a big cheese person.
Okay, I'm gonna try the chicken.
serge du preez
Live react.
tim pool
There you go.
What is it?
Is it good?
blaire white
I don't want to be dramatic.
It's not great.
The tortilla's fine.
tim pool
The chicken... Is it dry?
blaire white
It's tasting like... not chicken.
tim pool
Is there like hot sauce or something?
Or mayonnaise or something?
Pepper?
blaire white
I mean, it's not terrible, but it's not... Tiny after kick.
Tiny after kick.
tim pool
Bad one?
unidentified
What is that?
blaire white
Not great.
Hot sauce, actually.
unidentified
So you know what?
blaire white
We're gonna do that.
We're gonna try that hot sauce.
tim pool
Oh, careful, that would be really gooey, it'll probably explode.
blaire white
This is gonna explode on me.
ian crossland
Do you have some scissors?
You got any scissors over there?
serge du preez
Nah, not right here.
tim pool
Let's, uh, we'll read some more Super Chats as this is going on.
RyanTheEatingWarrior says, Second coming, Jesus comes back with a flaming sword to lead an army.
ian crossland
Oh yeah, what's the flaming sword in the Bible?
I'm trying to figure it out.
Do they actually have blowtorches?
serge du preez
No.
tim pool
No, it's a flaming sword, dude.
ian crossland
Yeah, but what's it really?
tim pool
A flaming sword.
blaire white
They probably lit it on fire, right?
Yeah.
tim pool
I kind of want one of those.
ian crossland
Like they oiled it up and then set the oil on fire?
serge du preez
There was a bush that was on fire that wasn't, like, degrading.
Like, there's a lot of stuff in the Bible that's not exactly, like, real, but I think they really mean a flaming sword.
tim pool
Oh, we'll do it after, when it remembers only, I'll make one.
blaire white
The mukbang and the memorabilia.
tim pool
Just don't destroy them all like that.
blaire white
Oh, yeah.
ian crossland
I was picturing dudes with, like, little blowtorches, and then if you got close to them, they'd kick it on really hard, and the flame would shoot out, and they'd stab you with the flame.
I'm like, oh yeah, flaming sword.
serge du preez
Yeah, crazy.
blaire white
That's awesome, actually.
tim pool
Okay, here's an, uh, Legoma says, Some of the things said here, mainly by Ian, so ridiculous, so inaccurate, allowed to stand on their so pseudo-merits with no debunking, would be the easiest debunks in history.
It's disgusting, almost sacrilegious, millions of minds fed nonsense.
I still support Timcast.
Well, thank you for the superchat.
ian crossland
But the reason why your superchat was sort of, like, lame is because there were no specifics.
All you gotta do is say one of the things I said, and why, and then we can have a talk about it.
tim pool
That's true, you could literally, you could superchat and just be like, here's what Ian is wrong about, boop boop boop.
You know, you could do ten different superchats at ten bucks.
But, uh, I appreciate it.
A lad who ate four dozen eggs says ten bucks is expensive, Tim.
I understand that.
ian crossland
How much did he pay to tell you that?
tim pool
Ten bucks.
serge du preez
Ten bucks.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
I understand.
blaire white
Anyone want Reese's?
tim pool
I'm gonna wait till the after show.
Normally I just like to like we have we have we have peanut butter cups quest ones they have like no sugar but they're splendid and I'm so I don't really want to eat them.
ian crossland
Yeah I'm good now.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
Thanks.
tim pool
Let's see what we got.
Polly Puree says there was never a Palestine in human history.
Mark Twain, the author, visited the Israel region in 1856 and said that not a single person lived in that region.
The Jews began rebuilding it several decades later.
unidentified
Yep.
serge du preez
That's what I was saying the other day on the show, is that it was basically barren land and until the Jews were actually there and making civilization, then people moved in and now they're claiming it's their ancestral lands.
tim pool
Alright, what do we have?
Let's grab some more.
Seabass says, Jews are still looking for their Messiah, which Christians believe that is the Antichrist, and Christians believe Jesus is the Messiah, and is coming back to save the Jews, which would be the Second Coming.
ian crossland
The Christians think that the Second Coming is the Antichrist, or that the Jewish First Coming is the Antichrist, and that there will be a Second Coming that's different than that person?
serge du preez
During the Second Coming, there will be an Antichrist that comes and leads people astray, essentially.
That's not the same as the Second Coming of the Messiah.
So before the Second Coming occurs, there will be an Antichrist.
It's part of the whole Second Coming.
ian crossland
But the Christian Second Coming is the Jewish First Coming?
It's the same guy?
Yes, because the Jewish... That super chat was wrong then.
serge du preez
The Jews do not believe that there was a First Coming of the Messiah.
They're still in... Remember, Jesus was Jewish.
They were waiting for the fulfillment of all the previous prophecy in the Torah and the Talmud, etc.
And then they don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah.
tim pool
Whoa, look at this.
What the heck says, shout out to Jefferson Spirits, a bar in Medford, Oregon, for getting shut down by the OLCC from 10-11-23 to 11-11-23 for a masking violation back in 2020.
Wow, dude.
to 11-11-23 for a masking violation back in 2020.
serge du preez
Wow, dude.
brett dasovic
Wow.
tim pool
Evil people, dude.
blaire white
That's like sick and twisted beyond.
serge du preez
Yeah, especially right now.
blaire white
My god!
tim pool
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
says cheese spread was the bestest of the best.
ian crossland
I used to squirt that stuff out of a can.
blaire white
But it's that word spread that I don't like.
It's like the chicken chunks and the cheese spread.
Just call it chicken.
Just call it cheese.
It's weird to me.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
Chicken chunks.
I also don't trust the tortillas, because it's gonna be like brominated plastic cardboard.
blaire white
Yeah, that's probably the worst part.
brett dasovic
I don't think you were supposed to put the spread on the chicken.
tim pool
It goes on the crackers?
brett dasovic
I think it goes on the crackers.
And the hot sauce goes... Spread on the chicken just sounds gross.
Wait, it's a quesadilla!
blaire white
I literally feel like it's actually pieces that you're eating.
tim pool
You make a quesadilla, you know?
You take the tortilla, put the chicken and the cheese on it.
brett dasovic
I think it's just supposed to be the chicken and the hot sauce.
tim pool
I really do think they could have done better.
Like, these MREs, like, there could be better.
unidentified
See?
brett dasovic
You could make your own!
That's what I'm saying!
tim pool
Gourmet MREs.
blaire white
And people would buy it.
brett dasovic
Make your own!
tim pool
We'll get Andrew Grewal on this one.
brett dasovic
There you go!
tim pool
You'll, like, you'll rip up in the bag and then slide out a plate with, like, this perfect chef-designed... You're in a war zone!
Capricci salad, and you pull it out and it's perfectly preserved, nothing rotted for some reason.
That's kind of the thing, like, you can't have good stuff.
Alright, what do we got?
Joan says, hey all, love the show.
Question for Ian.
Any more plans to update your feed for subscribers on X?
ian crossland
Oh, yeah, but I don't know what to do exactly, and I always feel guilty keeping anything from behind a paywall.
It's just part of this weird charitable thing I've got going.
But I would love to.
I would love to.
I should do just something every week, but I don't want to do something lame where you're like, this is what I get.
But it's like you're getting nothing right now.
I could just do my workouts.
I mean, they're not like spectacular.
It's just me, you know, biceps, shoulders.
blaire white
You deserve to make money off of what you do and what you give to the world.
I don't think you should feel weird about that.
brett dasovic
It's weird.
tim pool
It is a communist thing.
The idea that profit is somehow something to be guilty of is a weird communist idea.
Profit is literally like, hey, I just did some work and I feel that I would like to trade the work that I did for something in exchange.
And then communists are like, they want to abolish profit.
There's something the DSA says, abolish profit.
Profit is just literally what you are getting for yourself.
This is crazy.
You spend $20 on some wood and some nails.
You then do the work to make a birdhouse and then say $25.
That $5 is so that you can buy food.
And they're like, no, you shouldn't be allowed to.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
So then how do you get food?
You don't.
brett dasovic
There's like this thing going on where it's like if you look at like the the the leftist comics on like on like Kickstarter or anything like that they'd always make this point to like point out like this is where all the money from the from this Kickstarter is going to and they would make perfectly clear that like we're not taking anything home because they understand that the people that are in their audience would be absolutely appalled at the idea of them making any money whatsoever.
