Thanks for watching.
It has now been confirmed by local news.
The police are furious, and they're launching an investigation into how these images leaked.
Now, the presumption is, it is not the full manifesto.
We don't know for sure.
We don't know how much was in this.
But it looks like the individual in question was motivated by anti-white hatred, as well as just generally being unwell.
But the hatred of white people seemed to be a strong motivating factor from the information that we have so far.
So we're going to talk about that.
Plus, we got a bunch of other really big news.
Trump testified today, and he apparently roasted the judge and the prosecutor.
Oh, I should say the attorney for New York calling them frauds or insinuating... That may have been his lawyer, actually, but basically breaking down all of his legitimate business practices.
They're definitely trying to run him over the coals of this one.
We'll talk about that.
Plus, a new poll has come out.
The New York Times is basically saying that if the election is held today, Donald Trump wins handily.
He is ahead in five of six swing states needed to win.
Now just a warning to everybody, that doesn't mean you can sit around and do nothing, because they want to lull you into a false sense of security.
You better go out and vote.
So we'll talk about that.
Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com to get the best cup of coffee you've ever had, pick up It is limited.
Once it is gone, it will never exist again.

Hey, it's an honor and a pleasure to be with all of you.
This is an exciting time.
I've been a fan for a long time.
I started watching you, Tim, back in 2020 after the election because you were the only guy doing three posts a day with updates on the news, and that's how I got into you.
So, honor to be here.
I work for InfoWars.
I'm currently hosting a show in the mornings until Owen Schroyer is back from prison, and I create AI-generated content for them.
unidentified
Right on.
tim pool
Well, thanks for hanging out.
We also got Hannah Clare.
hannah claire brimelow
Hey, I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow.
I'm a writer for TimCast.com.
I'm glad to be back.
Ian's here, too.
ian crossland
Hi, everybody.
Thank you.
Ian Crossland, musician, resident artist.
I'm also wearing this sweet jacket with a pin from Tom Ellsworth from Valuetainment.
What's up, Tom?
I know you're out there listening.
I love you, man.
Thank you for the pin.
Surge.
unidentified
And I'm Surge.com.
Yeah, let's get into it.
tim pool
Here's the big news.
This is the first story.
It's the biggest story of the day.
It's dominated the headlines.
Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto leaked.
Trans murderer vowed to kill privileged white kids at Covenant School.
Steven Crowder leaked photos of the manifesto on Twitter and his podcast.
Nashville PD has refused to release the information despite media requests.
Hale, 28, shot and killed six people, including three young kids.
I believe they were all under the age of nine.
On March 23rd, She was shot dead by police within 14 minutes of launching the attack.
Now the big story with this release is information about the motivations.
It would seem that from what we have so far, the motivation was anti-white hatred.
There are some reports that the full manifesto, the full notebook, it actually contains way more!
And some people are saying actually the full thing shows this individual hated everybody.
But if that were true they would need to release this to the public and I don't know that's going to happen but perhaps for whatever reason this got leaked it was to try and force the release of the rest of it which I kind of don't know if that makes sense because whoever leaked it could have just leaked the rest.
We don't know exactly why only these select pages were released and I gotta be honest I'm also not convinced there is any more.
That may be an excuse where someone's trying to downplay what this individual had actually been motivated by.
We have this from the Post Millennial.
Local media outlet confirms Nashville trans school shooters anti-white manifesto pages are authentic.
And then we have, of course, an investigation is currently underway after release of alleged Covenant shooters writings, Nashville mayor says.
So it's confirmed now.
I believe we have multiple reporters confirming this, that the individual was motivated by anti-white hatred.
And now all of a sudden we're starting to see these videos pop up.
People are basically, and they've been doing this for a while, but they're making montages of all of the insane college professor and university rhetoric around violence targeting white people.
And there was one that I saw on Twitter that's so shocking and insane, it's no wonder people are being radicalized by this.
People are also calling out Joe Biden.
Who has made numerous speeches about the problems and dangers of white supremacy.
Now you can certainly argue that people are allowed to criticize and condemn white supremacy.
Of course they are.
But when these universities and media outlets claim that simply having a family is white supremacy, you can see how the rhetoric starts getting crazy.
Now I guess the questions are, was the FBI and were the police withholding this intentionally because of what it contained?
Or is something else going on?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, it's hard to say.
I mean, there's a line in particular from one of the photograph pages that says, you know, I've been wanting to do this for a long time.
I'm excited.
I almost got caught, and I believe it's, they say, the summer of 2021.
And so we have to wonder, why does this person feel that way?
There was reporting that Audrey Hale had been, you know, under her parents' care to a certain level, that there were emotional and psychological issues already known to at least Her family.
But this to me implies something bigger than just, you know, people were concerned about my behavior.
chase geiser
Which implies that there's more to the writings than just the three pages.
I mean, if she'd been planning this thing for a couple years or had issues for a couple years and she wrote about how excited for the past two weeks that she's been.
tim pool
Right.
chase geiser
So I bet she was writing every day for the two weeks.
tim pool
And there's also a report, there may be a 14 minute video.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
I mean, Audrey Hale also reached out to people right before- I'm sorry, 10 minute video.
I got- That's okay.
You know- That is okay.
I approve.
It's okay.
I forgive your four minute lapse.
No, the thing is, if there had been a- I wouldn't be surprised if there's a video, I mean, especially with younger millennial attackers, they're more versed in social media now than ever, and so it makes sense that that would be the case.
I know Audrey Hale was contacting people through Instagram right before going into the school.
I mean, this person was...
Reaching out and also being extremely destructive to their fellow human beings.
One of the pages, if I'm remembering correctly, was dated I think February of 2023.
And so we know that this, you know, manifesto, diary, whatever you want to call it, has been documenting a developing motivational pattern.
tim pool
I don't think this was withheld because it was implicating the left in their radical rhetoric.
I think when you look at this, you see two things.
As you mentioned, the shooter said, I almost got caught.
And also says, I'm going to be checking security.
What does this tell us?
The police state, the centralized policing authority, will not be there to protect you from these circumstances.
And in fact, there was actually, this was posted on Twitter in a community notes.
There's a study done in 2022 that found 34.4% of mass shootings were stopped by a person who is legally armed.
And when you remove gun-free zones from that metric, it increases to 51% of mass shootings stopped by individuals who are legally armed.
And I think the problem here is, with this manifesto, what you see is...
I think we gotta be careful about the anti-white propaganda angle to this, which is important.
I'm not saying it's not.
We should definitely call out the weird, creepy, racist, leftist, whatever, but also consider this is hugely damaging to the narrative of gun-free zones, to local politicians.
If the narrative came out that gun-free zones, and this is true, everyone knows this, that gun-free zones are creating risk, but it was like the headline story manifesto reveals Lack of security, gun-free zones, and lack of FBI integrity resulted in this happening.
You're going to have people going to their politicians and be like, why did you do this?
So when you look at how the FBI has, you know, what's the meme now?
Was known to the FBI.
They do the BART meme where it's like, say the line, BART, and he's like, the shooter was known to the FBI.
chase geiser
Always on a list.
tim pool
Every time, there's always an opportunity, but what happens is you get gun control activists coming out and saying, aha, we must blame the guns, which is a complete distraction.
I don't think it is always about gun control.
I think it is about, uh-oh.
People are going to get mad at us because we're the ones who created this system and made it this way.
Right now, what you've got happening is Democrats arguing that we should have politicians do a thing, when in reality, it's politicians, mainly Democrats, doing the thing which resulted in the crisis in the first place, and they don't want anyone to realize that.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I think that's right.
I think the other aspect that jumped out of me was that there's a very serious anti-elitist messaging throughout this.
There's a specific line where Hale writes, you know, those kids are awful at their private school with their parents' expensive cars or whatever it is, you know.
And from what I know, reporting I saw from local outlets said that Hale had attended this school.
And so this Behavior is bizarre in a lot of fronts, and I think now it's just a rush to spin it as fast as possible.
I think that's why the anti-gun narrative is going to be so easily introduced here, but it's also important to acknowledge that this person was deeply psychologically disturbed, and if people knew this, FBI, local law enforcement, whatever, they failed the community around them.
chase geiser
It's weird to me that the manifesto hadn't been digitized by the perpetrator.
Because so often when we see events like this, part of the motive is to get it out as fast as possible.
But obviously it had never been digitized because there's spelling errors and stuff in it.
I mean, this is something that was not on the internet at all, I don't think, and was just written for personal use.
So I wonder what Hale was seeking to accomplish by writing this down.
tim pool
Well, I'll tell you what the scary thing, I think, is.
When we talk about civil conflict in the United States, I often mention that I view the right as what I would call, like, the acute threat, whereas the left is the blunt or obtuse threat.
ian crossland
The chronic threat, you could say.
tim pool
Well, it's not so much chronic.
That's how disease works, acute and chronic.
It's not chronic.
It is blunt versus pointed and sharp.
ian crossland
Piercing versus bludgeoning.
tim pool
Right.
Um, acute meaning it's extreme and it hits you hard, whereas blunt is it, you know, the left you get hundreds of thousands of far left extremists, they go around punching and threatening people.
None of these rise to a national level news story, but it's happening all the time to the point where you're getting shoplifting, you're getting, you're getting these protests and occupations and they bubble up sometimes and make the news, but it's never the most shocking story.
With the right, you get some deranged lunatic going into a church.
I shouldn't say the right, but what they would say is the right.
What I should say is anti-left or anti-government, whatever you want to call it.
And then as for the left, I think we're speaking in generalities.
We should probably, I don't know if the simplification of left and right is helping for anybody because this person's clearly not a leftist.
You know what I mean?
They're not a communist.
Well, they probably are deeply influenced by it.
But anyway, my point is this.
What is typically stated by the media as the right, it's like, rarely, one guy, a lone wolf, does some crazy thing, killing a lot of people, makes international headlines, and everyone says, we must stop the right, they're so dangerous.
And it's bad.
It's seriously bad, and it does need to be stopped.
However we can.
On the left, you have the Chazz Chop protests, you have the Autonomous Zone in Minneapolis, you have the Summer of Love protests, you have the 529 insurrection.
All of these things result in severe injuries, and sometimes death, Bye!
What ends up happening?
In the Summer of Love, you have mass riots across the entire country, 30 people die, but you don't have one person killing 30 people.
So the media doesn't treat the story like a mass death incident, even though it was.
And because of that, so what's scary to me is, what we're now seeing is more left ideologically aligned individuals engaging in what I would describe as acute terror and violence and extremism.
And when you combine, so when you take a left ideological bent like this, Ramp the extremism up to 11, combine it with the fact that there's hundreds of thousands of these people, and they have already engaged in mass death incidents, it's like, that's starting to get much, much scarier.
The right doesn't protest.
They barely ever go out and march.
chase geiser
You don't see a lot of left-wingers walking around with ARs or assault weapons.
You do.
I mean, now you do at some of these protests, but this is sort of like a new development.
tim pool
In Seattle over the past probably seven years, leftists like the John Brown Gun Club and the Red Guard or whatever they call themselves, they march around with AR-15s and they've even been pointing them at vehicles and controlling traffic.
chase geiser
Saw that happen in Austin with that guy that went to prison for defending himself when it happened to him.
tim pool
And so what we're starting to see over the past few years is the left has this ubiquitous fervor where they go out and smash things and destroy things, and now they're adding to their ranks serious violent extremists who are engaging in, I mean, this was earlier in the year, and the right still doesn't have, on average, any of the low-level terror, doesn't even have that much high-level terror.
I think the reality is what is described as the right probably is just regular people.
And what is described as the left is an activist base.
ian crossland
It's also this person, Audrey Hale, was like on some sort of pharmaceutical.
Is this confirmed?
I mean, a lot of these mass shooters are on some sort of SSRI or pharmaceutical.
tim pool
I'd be willing to bet.
chase geiser
Too long since I read the story, but I think that there was a therapist at one point, wasn't there?
hannah claire brimelow
I can't remember.
I mean, I don't know for sure, but I think it's a logical assumption, especially because SSRIs are widely prescribed.
chase geiser
What's deadly, an AR-15 or an SSRI?
tim pool
Well, that's not a real, there's no real metric.
ian crossland
The pen is mightier than the sword, they say that.
That's been quoted long, you know?
chase geiser
The pill is mightier than the gun.
ian crossland
Warp the mind and then the guns.
tim pool
Depends on, I would, you know, you could theoretically argue that it is unfair to call an AR-15 deadly in any respect.
chase geiser
Well, I would say that a gun is more likely to help you commit suicide, and an SSRI is more likely to help you kill a bunch of people before you commit suicide.
tim pool
Well, so the issue is SSRIs could result in complete generational collapse.
If you have mind-altering drugs being mass-produced and mass-prescribed, it could actually destroy the fabric of a nation.
Whereas a rifle, which is a weapon, it's an object intended to be destructive, could actually help protect and defend a nation, or destroy a nation, so it's actually kind of neutral in that regard.
Either way, you can say it's deadly, that's the intent of it, but if the goal of the AR is to actually stabilize, that is to say, What do they say?
An armed society is a polite society?
You may actually have weapons, but everyone's like, you must respect other people because they're armed and you don't want to start a fight, and that actually simmers things down.
Whereas mind-altering drugs can actually just make everything go nuclear, you know, within a few years.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, especially because you don't know how people will react to them.
I mean, some people can take SSRIs for a long time and see minimal side effects.
Other people become more unstable because of them.
It's impossible to say, and that's the gamble we take in a pharmacologically dependent society.
chase geiser
And all the unstable people are more likely to be prescribed them, too.
unidentified
Exactly.
chase geiser
So you're nuts before you get on it, and then there's this correlation that isn't causation.
tim pool
Exactly.
I think that's a really good point, actually.
A lot of people are like, aha, this person was on medication.
Yeah, maybe they're trying to stop them.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Maybe they were like, hey, maybe this is, you know.
hannah claire brimelow
That's the thing.
I mean, it's very, very hard to tell how people react to medications.
It's not that there's never a case for them.
Some people legitimately need them.
It's just it's a trial and error.
They just give you pills and see if it works.
And if they don't, we try and adjust.
I mean, that's unfortunately how this works.
tim pool
I think it's actually a really good point.
The argument that, aha, the person without SSRIs, it's the medication, is similar to the liberal argument where they're like, aha, they had a gun, it's the gun, right?
And there are a lot of people, I think there's probably tens of millions.
chase geiser
Audrey, I was vaccinated and boosted!
tim pool
Right, yeah, exactly.
You could isolate anything.
hannah claire brimelow
You figured it out now.
tim pool
Probably a fair point to say there are a lot of people who are taking SSRIs who are not doing this.
hannah claire brimelow
You know, of course there are.
I mean, they're so widely prescribed and we don't have like this doesn't happen all the time.
I mean, this is tragic.
And part of what's what's shocking about this is because it's it's so unusual, right?
She's she's a female killer.
Perhaps she doesn't think of herself that way, but a female killer who attacks somewhere that they have ties to.
I mean, this is unusual for both for female attackers and for school shootings.
I feel like there's more of an anonymous component a lot of times when you get mass shooters.
ian crossland
Like some sort of endocrine disruption or something?
hannah claire brimelow
Or just generally, like this is someone who is behaving in a way that we don't see.
I mean, statistically, mass shooters are male.
And I guess it depends on how you classify this person.
ian crossland
Let's refocus the conversation to the dangers of racial supremacy and not white supremacy or black supremacy or Jewish supremacy or Islamic, like Arab supremacy.
It's about racial supremacy and how horrible it is.
To think of that and to focus on that and to live in that state of mind where you think one race is trying to be superior.
Just don't be a racist.
tim pool
Well, you can actually extrapolate that further and just say the real issue is any ideology that would propose extremist solutions to their perceived problems.
And so for this individual... How do you define extremist, though?
Someone willing to kill a bunch of people to impose their political will.
chase geiser
That make sense?
unidentified
Now, to be fair, people... But they throw it around a lot, like if you're against abortion, you're an extremist, you know?
tim pool
I can already hear the leftist going, oh, so what, you're saying the US government's extremists?
Yes!
Yes, I am!
Yeah, when they're blung up kids overseas to enact their goals, and the American people overwhelmingly say no every single time they're asked, and consistently vote for the politician who's like, no war.
That being said, Nikki Haley seems to be doing well in the polls to a certain degree.
But most Americans, the overwhelming majority, are like, hey, we don't want to waste money on war.
So yes, there are extremists in our government willing to kill people to get what they want.
But let's jump to the story.
This next story, we have a tweet from Steven Crowder.
Facebook is now censoring the Nashville Manifesto.
This is what we saw almost immediately after the story broke.
This is what the news, this is what big tech companies do.
Many news media outlets, they didn't want to cover the story.
Social media companies don't want to get into any kind of debate.
And this is a serious problem.
We now know, based on local reporting and statements from local politicians, the leaks from Steven Crowder are real.
And at the time, Facebook was taking them down.
Google had their stupid alert when you searched for it saying, the results are changing rapidly.
Here are some other stories instead.
Which is what they do when they don't want you to read these stories.
Here's what happens.
Big tech companies basically say, if it doesn't come from the New York Times, we will not allow it.
If, however, you get 5,000 local outlets reporting it, then there's nothing they can do to stop it.
But they tried to stop it.
And so, Fortunately, I guess, local news outlets immediately jumped on the story, broke through, and the story made it out.
I think one of the biggest fears that Facebook, and YouTube, and many of these other platforms, not Rumble, not Axe, for instance...
Their fear.
Steven Crowder just set the news cycle.
Right.
And the New York Times is going to try to avoid it.
They're going to be like, no, no, no, don't pick up his story.
We're the ones who decide what people are talking about.
But they've been losing that position.
Steven Crowder was questioned by all these news outlets.
How do you know it's real?
We stand by our reporting.
And it is a political comedian on YouTube who broke the biggest story today.
hannah claire brimelow
Because of people in their network.
I mean, from what I understood from what he was saying during his livestream, it was someone involved in Mug Club who was like, I have a contact.
I know where to get this.
And they were able to verify through that.
That's pretty impressive, right?
I mean, this is true.
All journalists rely on their readers for tips.
This is super normal.
But it is interesting that he has built such a relationship that someone would be willing to potentially take, and I don't know who the source was, like a professional risk to get them this information.
That shows a lot of confidence.
It's even crowder.
ian crossland
Citizen journalism.
tim pool
That is not citizen journalism.
ian crossland
But the citizen gave the journalism to Crowder to amplify the message.
That's an aspect of modern citizen journalism.
tim pool
The idea that this is citizen journalism was created to discredit people like Stephen Crowder.
I know this because I was at these conventions, I was at these conferences, and I was speaking at these events, And they kept saying, you're just a citizen journalist.
And I said, no.
Citizen journalism is a guy walking his dog, and then all of a sudden he sees a plane in the sky on fire, so he pulls out his phone and films it, and it crashes and he goes, whoa!
And then he tweets a video.
ian crossland
I guess there's no way to know who it was that delivered the message to Steve.
He didn't give it to Fox.
tim pool
But that's meaningless.
The New York Times has sources all day, every day.
Someone in law enforcement releases information, the New York Times publishes it.
Steven Crowder is no different from the New York Times.
Granted, he is a comedian on YouTube, but his news apparatus that got this information and published it is the same as WikiLeaks' system, the same as New York Times' system.
You have someone who liaises with a source, the source provides information, the information is vetted and then reported.
hannah claire brimelow
I just think it's cool that this is something he has built, right?
When he was posting videos initially on YouTube, I'm sure he did not expect to be in the position he is today, which is that he decided what the news was going to be about.
I mean, he came out with this on a Monday for a reason.
This is going to lead the news cycle, at least for the next couple days, probably through the end of the week.
tim pool
This may actually force the release of the full manifesto.
hannah claire brimelow
Which is probably the only way we would have gotten it out.
tim pool
So, one of the ideas that's being put out on X on social media is that these are select pages, and that in reality, while everyone's highlighting the anti-white sentiment that seems to have motivated the shooter, there's way more in there, and this person hates everybody and uses slurs for everybody, but the selective release would make it seem like it was one-sided.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I mean, I think that's reasonable.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's, you know, not that I want to make predictions about such a dark document, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a consistent anti-white theme, because I think, as far as I can tell, Audrey Hale was white, and I think a lot of people who are raised in, or who are coming up in progressive spheres are trained to hate themselves, especially if they're white.
tim pool
Well, if you look at what was said in it, The perpetrator says things like private schools and fancy khakis.
hannah claire brimelow
And she attended that school.
chase geiser
It was very Marxist-esque.
It was very oppressor versus oppressed.
tim pool
Exactly.
chase geiser
She was taking this back to the oppressors and she was going to get the justice and she hoped she had a high kill count.
She said things like that in the document.
And that's where the market, like I posted about something critical about public schools the other day about how They're teaching Marxism to our kids.
And somebody commented and said, they don't teach Marxism at public schools.
I'm like, you don't explicitly have to give out a book by Marx to be teaching Marxism.
It's this idea of this oppressor versus this oppressed thing, this critical theory thing.
And when you just ram that down people's heads, you end up like militarizing and radicalizing an entire generation.
ian crossland
Yeah, they indoctrinate people with Marxism.
They don't, unfortunately, as far as I know, actually teach the theories of Marxism enough.
They should probably teach that more so that you can realize if you were being indoctrinated.
hannah claire brimelow
No, no teaching at public schools.
tim pool
Actual Marxist theory, along with history of Marxism, the children would be crying by the end of the day and say, why would anyone ever do such a thing, those poor people?
chase geiser
The 100 million who are- 1958, 1962, great leap forward, 100 million.
ian crossland
It's just, it's so easy to be like, we're all in this together, let's go, all of us!
And then once the revolution happens, it's like- Marxism killed more people between 1958 and 1962 than white supremacism did between 1619 and 2019.
chase geiser
in 1962 than white supremacism did between 1619 and 2019.
Estimates of 100 million during the Great Leap Forward.
During the Great Leap Forward in China, they starved.
tim pool
No, I don't think it was 100 million in four years.
chase geiser
Those are the high estimates.
tim pool
100 million?
chase geiser
Yes.
1958, 1962.
Look up the Great Leap Forward on Wikipedia.
I believe estimates go as high as 100 million.
There are lower ones that are in like the 50-60 range.
hannah claire brimelow
Room is filled with rapid typing.
tim pool
30 and 45.
chase geiser
30 and 45?
tim pool
Yeah, what, 100 is the total deaths of communism, I'm pretty sure.
unidentified
Yeah.
I don't know.
tim pool
You gotta grab the mic, brother.
ian crossland
Give it to me, Serge.
What's the word?
tim pool
We can't hear you, no one else can either.
unidentified
Yeah, the 100 million is over the entire period of communist China, not necessarily from the Great Leap Forward.
tim pool
No, that's all communism.
chase geiser
I believe that there is a study that estimates that 100 million Chinese died specifically from the Great Leap Forward, but it might not be the most widely accepted study.
But I'm almost positive that on the Wikipedia page for the Great Leap Forward.
tim pool
The Wikipedia says 55 is the high end and 15 is the low end.
hannah claire brimelow
It is Wikipedia.
We don't take it with a grain of salt.
But I believe you.
unidentified
I mean, I think this is one of those things where why would they- Well, it's not that bad if it's only 50 million.
tim pool
Jeez, 50 million?! !
chase geiser
It's still way more than the Holocaust!
It's like 10 times more!
ian crossland
And this is like the Great Leap Forward.
I mean, I can try and explain it.
It's when he took like a bunch of the teachers and things and then he sent them out to the farms and was like, we gotta... Yeah, he wanted... No, it was the other way around.
chase geiser
He wanted to industrialize the nation of China to make it a factory-based sort of exporter.
And so he took all the agricultural people and put them in the cities so nobody was working the farms.
Then everybody that wasn't responsible for the districts of the farms was too scared to report to their higher-ups they weren't meeting quotas on harvest.
Because China's, you know, communism, you're scared to tell your boss you're not meeting numbers.
And so they didn't realize that there was like a mass shortage of food until it was too late.
Everybody starved over like four years.
hannah claire brimelow
That's why I always feel like you can't trust any numbers that come out of China, because number one, why would they report anything accurately to the outside world anyways?
And also, why would they internally report accurately?
There's no there's no benefit for them.
tim pool
You know, but why would the US?
Yeah, I tweeted this out over the weekend.
TikTok may be Chinese communist propaganda, but Facebook and YouTube are American communist propaganda.
ian crossland
Yeah, that was what the Fourth Estate was all about.
tim pool
Shout out to Elon Musk for liberating X and to Chris Pavlovsky for making Rumble.
ian crossland
And for lifting up the fourth pillar.
That's what these guys are doing.
It's supposed to be a fourth...
Branch of government, it's not really, but it's the fourth estate.
It's journalism.
It's the journalists that keep the politicians to task, that cover the government and make sure it's honest.
And that, unfortunately, the fascism involved with the digitalization of our news media has been way too easy for the government to corrupt.
So I'm happy to see organizations like Mines, Rumble, and X holding the truth.
Like Rumble, they tweeted out, on X, we're holding the line about Crowder's post.
They're not going to block it like this, like this Facebook did.
tim pool
Yeah, shout out.
chase geiser
It all started with Cambridge Analytica.
After they blamed the election of Donald Trump in 2016 on social media, all of a sudden all of the big tech companies got really scared and really ramped up their censorship because I think that there was this either explicit or like unstated threat.
They felt like the government was going to come in and split them up if they didn't do something.
ian crossland
What was the Cambridge scandal?
tim pool
I don't think it was that.
chase geiser
You don't think so?
tim pool
I think it was that they were just once again trying to manipulate and control the system.
chase geiser
For sure.
tim pool
Yeah, so Cambridge Analytica had access to, what was it, like 40 million users?
chase geiser
It was a bunch of data that was allegedly used to win the election for Trump.
tim pool
And I think it's complete nonsense.
The idea was that this company, Cambridge Analytica and SEL Group, had access to user data which they used to target voters.
And the reason why you know that's stupid and nonsensical is that We've talked to Dr. Robert Epstein, who's pointed out that Google... I love this!
We can simplify the algorithm manipulation electoral argument with a very, very simple statement.
Facebook sends reminders to Democrats on Election Day and not to Republicans.
That's the only thing they need to do to steal an election.
ian crossland
Do they still do that?
tim pool
So, according to Dr. Epstein, who appeared on The Culture War two weeks ago, when they were tracking their 10,000-plus user group for studying their social media experiences, they found that 59% of Republicans received a reminder, but 100% of Democrats received a reminder.
ian crossland
Ooh, that sounds like that should be illegal.
unidentified
Yes, and when Ted Cruz... Donation in kind.
tim pool
Absolutely.
And when Ted Cruz wrote a letter saying what you are doing, you know, we have questions about this, he said they saw instantly Google turned the bias system off in Georgia.
So that means that the implication is Google is intentionally manipulating elections.
ian crossland
Oh man, I made a video in 2007, I was like, vote Barack Obama, you're gonna win the election.
Vote for Barack Obama, everyone.
Barack, you're the next president.
And I was like, I felt like I was manipulating the election.
I mean, in a way, I was like... It's your fault, man.
Google, they actually featured that video and put it on the front page of the news and politics section.
Talk about interfering.
Like, it was not illegal, but it was just mass manipulation of vote for my guy.
chase geiser
Right, when they pushed your video.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, probably because there's not an equal representation, right?
It's whoever is willing to support Obama can be on the front page, but anyone else does not get to be on the trending page, does not get to exist at all.
ian crossland
It was total political bias.
Both me and the guy that featured me wanted Obama to win.
hannah claire brimelow
See, I feel like yours isn't manipulative.
Like, if you really feel like they should vote for Obama, you have a platform, you can say that, right?
It's different when YouTube decides certain videos get to make it to the front page, certain videos get to be boosted by the algorithm.
And it's not equally applied, right?
I mean, we know this through our own experiences.
I mean, you're on YouTube.
There are certain videos that you know are performing well that do not make it to the pages or lists that they should because YouTube is intentionally diverting them elsewhere.
chase geiser
And it's not always in the best interest of the business either.
Like, when they censor people like Alex Jones from YouTube, that was... we're talking like...
Hundreds of millions of views consistently and so it seems to me like almost a betrayal of the shareholders of the company when you're bringing people off the platform just for political motives.
I wonder if there's a lawsuit avenue there because there's a duty to do to honor what's in the best interest of the shareholders.
So the fact that there's a political motivation that seems to transcend the monetary motivation seems to me to imply that there's this Twitter files thing going on but with all these other platforms where there's just intelligence community operatives just kind of... But we do know That Nancy Pelosi's net worth, her and her husband, is around 200 million dollars, so the political is monetary.
Yeah.
tim pool
The political motivation, and let me just say, what a strange and unfortunate coincidence that the Clinton Global Initiative, or the Clinton Foundation I believe, their contributions dried up shortly after Hillary Clinton lost the election.
Just what a coincidence.
chase geiser
They just restarted it too, didn't they?
The Clinton Foundation?
To rebuild Ukraine.
tim pool
That's what they said.
So the general idea is this.
The idea was that the expectation with Hillary becoming president, everybody's donating money to her foundation, which is a... laundering, I guess.
And then the idea is if she becomes president, then those favors get paid back.
They purchased something.
But she lost!
And this is what I really, really love.
I just want to shout out that 2016 was, you know, that election.
Oh boy.
I remember that night oh so well.
All the Trump supporters... Well, I'm sorry.
I was at the Sputnik office with Cassandra Fairbanks and... Cassandra McDonald, sorry.
And she was the only Trump supporter there.
Everyone else was upset.
People were crying and she was laughing, crying.
And it was funny.
But what was really funny about it was that the establishment machine of money churn and revolving doors was just shattered in an instant.
And the panic was absolutely hilarious for the D.C.
elites who owed millions of dollars to foreign donors and lobbyists that they weren't going to be able to pay back.
Now you have Matt Gaetz doing the same thing to Kevin McCarthy, and all that money put into him becoming Speaker was just ripped away from him, and he ain't gonna be able to pay it back.
I just love watching the machine get ripped to shreds.
chase geiser
Yeah.
unidentified
Anyway.
It must feel good.
ian crossland
Kind of the purpose of the United States.
Oh, sorry.
What do you mean?
This whole United States revolution away from the machine of the British Empire.
I mean, the whole point is ripping that thing to shreds and creating a new system that's way better.
American Republicanism.
The whole ethos of the United States was to rip the machine to shreds.
That machine that was stomping on the neck of George Washington and his buddies.
tim pool
So we do have another massive breaking story.
In fact, it is so breaking, it is a Twitter thread that has not yet been written up, but this is the Censorship Industrial Complex report being released by the GOP.
unidentified
Rep.
tim pool
Jim Jordan says, bombshell report, hundreds of secret reports show how DHS, CISA, the GEC State Department, Stanford, and others worked together to censor Americans before the 2020 election, including true information, jokes, and opinions.
The federal government disinformation experts at universities, big tech and others, worked together through the Election Integrity Partnership to monitor and censor American speech.
Let me just pause right there and I'll give you a personal example.
That election integrity project or whatever it's called, claimed that I, Tim Pool, was one of the largest spreaders, super spreaders of election misinformation.
hannah claire brimelow
You're a super spreader?
tim pool
Now here's the thing.
That actually was shocking to me because I have, since the election maintained, Trump lost to Joe Biden.
Often saying that the issue was ballot harvesting and things that they put out the Time Magazine article.
So why would they claim I was spreading misinformation when it's because they want to attack influence?
And so long as I was reporting on say, Texas v. Pennsylvania or instances that needed to be adjudicated, it wasn't that I was spreading misinformation.
All of my sources, News Guard certified.
It was that they could not allow there to be a narrative that there were questions that needed to be answered by courts.
So they lie, claim I spread misinformation, don't say what misinformation that is, therefore it makes it impossible to sue them, and when the media reports it, you can't sue the media for reporting what a university said.
But let's read more.
Jim Jordan says, according to one EIP member, it was created at the request of CISA.
The head of the EIP also stated that EIP was created after working on some monitoring ideas with CISA.
EIP stakeholders, including the federal government, would submit misinformation reports.
The EIP would analyze the report and find similar content across platforms.
It would then submit the report to Big Tech, often with a recommendation on how to censor.
Ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing...
What we have long speculated and gotten various reports hinting at or confirming portions of is now the overt and direct GOP government congressional confirmation the U.S.
government intelligence agencies were using third parties through universities to censor people who supported Donald Trump.
chase geiser
Yeah, and they use the word stakeholders, too, which just immediately makes me think of Klaus Schwab, who's like, the future isn't stockholders, it's stakeholders.
It's like the whole Great Reset narrative is just either intentionally or accidentally seeping into even the writing.
ian crossland
Where did they use stakeholder in reference to what?
chase geiser
The Great Reset.
It's like the future of the Industrial Fourth Revolution is.
unidentified
Wow.
chase geiser
When he quoted it, he quoted it in the thread somewhere where he said the word stakeholders, something like the U.S.
tim pool
government or stakeholders.
We can see they targeted politicians, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Governor Mike Huckabee.
Yeah, uh, Candace Owens, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, Tom Fitton.
chase geiser
I always hate it when I'm not on these lists.
tim pool
I know, you know, they put it in my Wikipedia page that I'm a super spreader based on the EAP and Jim Jordan didn't even give me an honorable mention?
unidentified
Come on, Jim.
hannah claire brimelow
We gotta bring him on the show.
tim pool
I met him once for 15 minutes.
ian crossland
He's gotta pay for this.
tim pool
No, they also say, uh, Michelle Malkin, Dave Rubin, James O'Keefe.
It's absolutely, absolutely insane.
chase geiser
But who isn't on the list is even more telling.
tim pool
Right.
Here's some examples.
Here's one.
It's a tweet from Newt Gingrich saying Pennsylvania Democrats are methodo- methodo- uh, meth- method- methodologically?
Method- methodo- Methodically.
Methodically.
Why can't I say that word?
Changing the rules, because I want to say methodologically, but then I keep going back and- I made it too complicated.
Methodically.
Changing the rules so they can steal an election.
It is amazing, open, dishonest, ruthless, and will... I can't read what it says.
Unless the state is flooded with law enforcement.
chase geiser
That was before the election, too, so he's not even making a false claim about who won the election.
tim pool
And it's an opinion!
It's an opinion!
hannah claire brimelow
They censored it.
I mean, that's the thing, though.
They will pick all kinds of people they don't want talking at the same time.
tim pool
Here's a joke they removed.
hannah claire brimelow
No comedy either, you know?
tim pool
Mike Huckabee said, stood in the rain for an hour to early vote today.
When I got home, I filled in my stack of mail-in ballots and then voted the ballots of my deceased parents and grandparents.
They vote just like me.
He's making a joke!
That's absolutely amazing.
chase geiser
But no, he really did that.
tim pool
Who did we miss?
Did you have a social media post that was targeted by the EIP?
It's clear why Stanford tried to only produce these after Judiciary, GOP, and weaponization threatened contempt.
Yes, I will absolutely be reaching out to my representatives about how I can assist.
For if there is any action being taken based on the people who are named, I absolutely will throw my name in.
ian crossland
Let's get Jim Jordan on the show.
Cassandra, make it happen.
I love that guy personally and I think this is very prescient.
tim pool
Absolutely.
hannah claire brimelow
But also what happens.
That's my thing.
I think this is great information to come out, and then what?
That's what I worry about with all of these.
We've had an investigation, we uncovered this stuff.
Anyways, now that we've told you, that's the end of it.
ian crossland
Well, now what you do is you build censorship-resistant systems, protocols, things like NOSTR.
NOSTR, however you want to pronounce it.
I actually did an interview with Bill Altman today, CEO and founder of Minds, talking about censorship resistance and things like that.
Briar, mesh networking things.
Things that can't be censored.
You can always censor them locally, like you can blacklist them from appearing on your part of the network, but you can't make it go away.
chase geiser
Well, the crazy thing too is, just like we were talking about earlier, a lot of the stuff that's coming out now is stuff that was already publicly known.
Like, if you did a little bit of research, Years ago, you could find details about the Hunter Biden laptop, what was on it.
There's bidenlaptopemails.com, where you can search based on keyword and find stuff.
The public was able to access the information that while Joe Biden was vice president, $23.7 million went to metabiota, and Rosemont Seneca Partners was invested in metabiota, so those returns would have gone back to Joe Biden's pocket. And so that information has always already been
public for years. And now we're just seeing these committees just admit that it's real,
admit that the laptop's real, admit that this evidence is real. I think that it's just telling
how screwed up our system is when it's not about whether or not people have access to
the truth, but it's about who admits the truth is true.
tim pool
In March of 2021, EIP put out a report that a report by the Guardian reported on it saying
15 of the top 25, 21 offenders were verified, including Eric Trump, Donald Trump, Donald
Trump Jr., James O'Keefe, Tim Pool, Elijah Riott, and Sidney Powell.
All 21 of the top accounts for misinformation leaned right-wing, the study showed.
I never put up misinformation, and that's why, and everyone knows this, all of my sources always are certified by NewsGuard.
I think NewsGuard is biased.
I think they have posted incredibly wrong information about TimCast.com.
They did this dirty trick where they claimed that they emailed us, and because we didn't respond, they downgraded us again, even though we checked, they didn't.
chase geiser
How are you right-wing though?
I don't think of you as like a right-winger.
tim pool
Well, it's lies, but here's my point.
If I'm going to use their standard for what's true, and they call me misinformation, that's exactly the point.
So there was a really interesting story pertaining to COVID and LabLeak.
Where they wrote, I think they wrote it in our, NewsGuard wrote it in our report or someone else's.
I can't remember which one.
And they said that this is, yeah, I think it was ours.
They said, it is incorrect.
It was something about like Ukraine labs or something like that.
It's not true.
This was never revealed.
And then I showed them the New York Post and the Daily Mail, NewsGuard certified sources confirming what they claimed was false.
I said, now, hold on.
You say this story about COVID lab leak is false.
But you certified Daily Mail and the New York Post as factual, and they claim, both of these, that it's true.
So who do I trust?
The random employee telling me I'm wrong, or your own certified news sources?
And they were like, oops.
If Stanford is gonna come out and accuse me of wrongdoing despite that, it shows you that it's political, it is fake, and they are simply trying to steal an election.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
I mean, not to bring up the student loan crisis, but all universities are basically dependent on federal funding, and so that means that they are an arm of the federal government to a certain extent.
They want to make the federal government happy, and so they'll play ball with them in whatever way possible.
I mean, the relationship is obvious, and yet we pretended like this wasn't going to happen.
unidentified
I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow
I don't get it.
ian crossland
I mean, what did you say about the student loan crisis that they're buying people off by paying?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I mean, if you're a college, right, and you know that you can charge whatever you want, as long as you make the person take out student loans, which are guaranteed by the federal government because you can't declare bankruptcy on them, and they will give them to whoever they think needs them, then you are getting federal money under this idea of like, oh, we're bringing in students.
chase geiser
Not to mention the direct funding that they just give Yeah.
So you're ineligible for your funding as a university if you don't enforce our Title IX regulations, which don't allow the defendant to face his victim if he's accused of sexual assault on campus and things like that.
So you see these kids getting kicked out of college and stuff for false accusations of sexual assault.
It's not even a criminal court.
It's just a college court that has to do what Title IX says.
Otherwise, they're not eligible for federal funding for the university.
So you see a lot of atrocities happen on college campuses related to the fact that they're So vulnerable and so dependent on the federal government's funding.
I think we have the same problem at the state level.
We wouldn't see a civil war from a state unless things got way more extreme than they even got in 1862, in my opinion, because all the states are so financially dependent on federal aid for things like roads and infrastructure.
They give us so much money, we would never rebel against them because all of a sudden that's cut off at a state level.
It'd have to be the people that would stand up.
It's never going to be a state government.
tim pool
You know, I have to wonder, with the release of this report coming from official government sources, that has to grant every single one of us standing in a lawsuit against the government and some kind of restitution for this.
I mean, they were attacking our businesses, they were attacking our character, and they were lying.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, and especially in this business, your credibility is extremely important.
And for them to say you're a super spreader of misinformation based on, what, nothing from Stanford University?
That's a direct attack on your livelihood.
But again, I stand by.
As important as I think this report is, I think it's good, even if we all kind of knew this was happening anyways, to get the truth out there.
What are the consequences that anyone involved in this faces?
Realistically, what can we expect going forward?
ian crossland
Well, one of the things I was thinking is that we no longer have public colleges and make them all private and not allowed to take government money.
chase geiser
Hell yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, we should stop giving out student loans.
chase geiser
That made college expensive, too.
All the student loans.
Like, oh, there's this big customer that just came to town.
hannah claire brimelow
You can charge whatever you want.
Also, Joe Biden is on the campaign trail saying, I'm going to forgive student loan debt.
Or you could just stop giving out student loans.
unidentified
Right?
hannah claire brimelow
This broken system that put millions of Americans into debt, we are just continuing to say we're going to do, even though on the other hand, we're saying we're going to forgive student loans.
It doesn't make any sense.
If the system is broken, stop doing it.
ian crossland
How integrated is the student loan?
What is it, Fannie Mae, Freddie, are those the- Like a FAFSA application, right?
chase geiser
Is that what it was when you go to college and they tell you whether you're eligible or not and they give you all the cash and as long as you're a student, you don't have to start paying it back.
And even if you don't pay it back, I don't think they can arrest you for it.
So there's a lot of people that go and they just never make payments.
It wrecks your credit, but you just refuse to pay it back.
That's probably why they're just forgiving it because they know they're not going to get it anyway.
hannah claire brimelow
And it doesn't incentivize colleges to actually do anything to make college affordable, right?
unidentified
Right.
chase geiser
All the prices want to play up.
hannah claire brimelow
The expectation is that you take out a student loan, a government-backed loan, but it's not that they accommodate you in any way.
I mean, that's why it's interesting to see, like University of Phoenix or online programs
that are saying like, we're trying to give you an option here that is affordable.
chase geiser
Because ultimately- Isn't that where Shaq went?
University of Phoenix got his doctorate.
hannah claire brimelow
Probably.
ian crossland
Dr. Shaq. Solid.
hannah claire brimelow
Tons of money.
Dr. O'Neill in the house.
It's a system that the federal government ultimately benefits from because they say,
we really, you should go to college, college is so important, also take our money.
chase geiser
If they were smart though, they would only offer it for targeted fields.
They'd be like, all right, our competitors are doing this, so we need more engineers,
but how do we incentivize people to be engineers?
Oh, we give them way more, or we only give money to people
who are gonna major in this thing, or graduate with this thing,
and you're only eligible for, your interest rate's way higher if you don't graduate,
you know, and if you graduate, it goes down.
There's ways you can manipulate how you give people money to get them to do what you want,
but they're just blanketing it.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, we know that there are workers shortages It's not an immediate solution.
They have to go through training.
It'll be a four or five year delay.
On the other hand, you would get qualified people going into that.
There are enough students entering college who say, I don't really know what I want to do.
That if you said, but I'll give you a scholarship.
chase geiser
I'm going to loan you money for a business you don't know you want to start yet.
hannah claire brimelow
It doesn't make any sense.
If I was saying, oh, there's a nursing shortage, right, or there is, I don't know what, is specific types of someone who works with, you know, elderly people, and I said, you know, you go to college, right, boomers or us get real old.
If you go to college for this thing, I will give you the money for it.
You have to graduate with a degree and go into that field.
That would make way more sense to me than the government saying, no worries, you may want to- English literature?
chase geiser
You got it.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, and I did get a degree in that, I'm just kidding.
That's the thing, it doesn't make sense and ultimately I don't understand why the federal government logically would be supporting this unless they know ultimately they're able to pull strings and have universities back sort of nefarious schemes that they have contrived to pull off against the American people.
ian crossland
If I had not been able to get a loan for theater or for whatever general, I did like communications and journalism and then theater, but I could have got a loan for like a math degree, I would have got a math degree because I didn't have the money.
I couldn't have gone to college without a loan.
tim pool
Or what if they didn't give you a loan for anything and you just went and got a job?
You might be working construction right now.
ian crossland
I would have just started doing theater, local theater, went up to Cleveland, done theater in Cleveland.
That's kind of what I was doing anyway.
chase geiser
The best part of my day would be that 30 seconds between the car and your front door.
Good Will Hunting?
unidentified
When I knock, and you're not there.
chase geiser
You shouldn't be a construction worker, you should be doing exactly what you're doing.
Beautiful talent right here.
tim pool
Let's jump to this story, ladies and gentlemen.
We got the official word from CBS News.
Trump would win a rematch against Biden if the election was held right now, CBS News poll says.
And I think it's not just the CBS News poll, I think there's a bunch of other polls showing this.
Here you go, from TimCast.com.
Trump leads Biden in 5 out of 6 key battleground states new poll finds.
The polling results for registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania show Biden losing to Trump by margins of 4 to 10 points.
Holy crap!
This is coming from the New York Times, so I think this is a different poll.
Across six battlegrounds, all of which Mr. Biden carried in 2020, the president trails by an average of 48 to 44 percent of the times reported.
The results show significant discontent with Biden and his policy over the past three years across both genders and all ages, races, education levels and income brackets.
A majority of respondents said that Biden's policies have hurt them personally.
I mean, you were just talking to us about somebody who said they voted for Biden and that he sucks.
chase geiser
Yeah, I was at a restaurant, and the waitress asked me about my Alex Jones Was Right shirt that I'm wearing, and then we started talking about politics, and she said, I voted for Biden, but I think he's terrible.
I'm not gonna vote for him again.
She didn't say she was gonna vote for Trump, mind you, but that's the first time in my life I've really experienced just like a stranger saying they regret who they vote for.
I mean, I'm sure it's happened before, and I haven't been alive through that many presidential election cycles, but I really do think it's not just a right-wing talking point to say that the people who voted for Biden are disappointed.
I think that that's actually the truth.
tim pool
And this is why Biden ran.
They needed a sacrificial goat.
ian crossland
A corporeal form.
tim pool
A corporeal form of some sort.
ian crossland
They just needed a body.
tim pool
Knowing that they were going to cause a bunch of problems, Trump made America better.
Whether or not he made it great again is entirely up to your opinion, but the economy was a-boomin'.
COVID happened.
I'm not going to blame Trump or Biden for COVID having happened, but we can certainly criticize them over their policies.
But things were going really, really well under Trump, despite the fact that they strapped some heavy Russiagate weights to his legs and were trying to pin him down.
chase geiser
Nobody got in trouble for that either, really.
tim pool
Right.
But things were great in 2019.
The best numbers of our lives.
Jim Cramer, man, that guy's wrong about everything, but he sure nailed that one.
ian crossland
It was inflate- everything was inflating, like rapidly inflating, so it looked good on paper, but we were headed towards a cliff.
chase geiser
That is not what I'm talking about.
Massive spending happened after the pandemic, though.
tim pool
Making an argument that on the books things were bad is different from saying the average person was enjoying record low unemployment, their wages were going up, the economy was in full motion, people were going to the store- My business was booming.
Business was booming for everybody.
The local contractors we had in Jersey were like, man, this has been the best year of my life.
I went to the furniture store to buy the first equipment, the first table for Tim Guest IRL.
And the lady was like, she was so happy when I bought everything.
She was like, this has been the best year for me.
No question.
chase geiser
I paid off all my debt, 2019.
tim pool
And what happens then?
They vote for Biden, and everything gets worse, and people are longing for 2019 again.
ian crossland
Well, we should ask Ron Paul how great the economy was in 2019 before we decide.
hannah claire brimelow
I was going to say, the Biden campaign is aware that they're in trouble.
They put out a memo last Thursday saying, we're expecting, you know, a tight race, but we'll be able to defeat whoever comes out of the, I think they said, MAGA extremist race.
So they think it's going to be Trump too.
But they are openly warning their own people That this is going to be close.
I mean, they are not even able to fake it amongst themselves that they have this in the bag.
And I think that really has to speak to people's experience with Biden in office, right?
I'm not an economic expert.
I can't tell you exactly who did what that caused all the problems.
I do know that under Biden, gas has gone up and it's extremely expensive.
chase geiser
Which means that everything goes up at the stores because the cost of shipping is higher.
So groceries go way up because of the gas prices.

Someone chatted this and a McDouble at McDonald's is $3.30.
chase geiser
Big Mac for $18 was in the news this week.
tim pool
Right, I don't eat at McDonald's.
The last time I ate at McDonald's a McChicken and a McDouble were a buck.
chase geiser
You gotta wear a tuxedo to go in now, they have a dress code.
ian crossland
Is that real, that a Big Mac?
You're joking, right?
chase geiser
It's $18 in some markets.
They vary the price.
unidentified
Whoa.
tim pool
So, our local McDonald's, it's $10.19 for a Big Mac meal.
What?
And the McDouble is $3.30, and the McChicken is $3.30.
hannah claire brimelow
There was a video I saw on Instagram this week of a guy buying groceries at Whole Foods, and he was like, when I bought this in 2019, it cost me $72.
When I bought the same exact things, I don't remember how many years before, it cost me around $62.
And then he went in and bought all the exact same, he was showing their seat, and it was like $115.
I mean, it's just obvious how quickly things are climbing.
And the thing is, the basic American voter can't say, oh, well, this policy or this bill.
They can say, for the past three years, under Joe Biden, despite being promised that things would get better, despite being promised student loan debt forgiveness, despite being promised this, that, and the other, all I know is that he blames Trump, but things are worse under him.
And that's what's going to speak to them when they go to the polls.
ian crossland
Well, what we need to do is improve our fuel source and use hydrogen.
Whoever wants to win the presidency should hire me and I will make that happen.
tim pool
I don't even want any money.
ian crossland
I don't care about the money, I just want to make it happen.
Because it's the fuel costs that are making this go out of control.
It all stems from the fuel costs.
Russia is shutting down the Ukrainian pipeline.
tim pool
That is a component of it, but mass spending and the billions of dollars going to foreign wars, what basically happens is when the US government gives your money away, they are both simultaneously taking your taxes and spending it, but also inflating the cost of goods by stripping resources away.
They're ripping your buying power from your savings.
ian crossland
Confirming customer calls out McDonald's pricing after being charged $18 for a Big Mac meal.
The headline is just for the full meal.
It's from Yahoo.com and I think New York Post also reported on it.
$18 in Connecticut for a Big Mac meal.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the apocalypse for Joe Biden.
Because I tell you this.
McDonald's was supposed to be, you walk in, you grab your garbage food, you walk out.
You're drunk after going to the bar and your buddies are like, let's get some, you know, McDoubles or whatever.
But if you're walking in and you're like, oh man, I want the McDonald's fries and a Big Mac and they're like, that'll be $20.
So you're like, wait, what?
Somebody want to split it with me?
No, I guess not.
They're going to walk out and be like, Thanks, Joe Biden.
chase geiser
Yeah, it's not McDonald's fault.
hannah claire brimelow
This is what the, I can't remember his name, but the CEO of Costco sort of won a lot of fans because he said, you will not raise the price of our hot dogs.
tim pool
Yes, even if it costs us money.
hannah claire brimelow
Even if it costs us money because people, number one, appreciate that.
But then also there are people who legitimately want to come in there and be like, we're going to get some food after trying to save money on our groceries.
It is something they are doing out of loyalty to the public.
I mean, that's That is one of the stories that I remember coming out of COVID the most, which is that there were CEOs who were like, I'm going to forego my salary for the year to keep our waitresses employed.
tim pool
But it's also probably more simple.
It's much more simple than that.
Costco said, hey, the cost of hot dogs is going up, so we've got to raise the prices.
And the other guy probably said, people come to Costco knowing they're going to get a dollar hot dog and a pretzel.
chase geiser
It's an investment.
tim pool
And they're going to then shop at our store.
If you raise that price, you will lose customers.
chase geiser
There are some gas stations that lose money on the gas that they sell just because they want people to come in and buy a pack of cigarettes and buy snacks and stuff like that.
hannah claire brimelow
And I'm sure with Costco, too, if you raise the hot dogs, everyone's going to be like, well, is it even worth being a member here?
Everything is going up.
The hot dogs tell us that you are saving money when you go there.
tim pool
Donald Trump needs to come out and start complaining about the cost of a Big Mac.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
unidentified
Big Macs will be $11.
tim pool
When you come out and you say, the stock market is doing really great, people are like, I don't know what that means to me.
Regular Americans are not in the stock market.
When you go out and you say, your price of gas, they know that.
But what are they feeling right now?
You see, Biden drains the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try and keep prices low to force a market shift, but you can't do nothing about that Big Mac.
Biden can't release the Big Macs from the Strategic Reserve to keep the Big Mac prices down.
And regular Americans Don't have time to cook, want to stop on the way to work, grab a Big Mac on the way home from work.
chase geiser
Traditionally, you think about it as the cheapest fast food option too.
tim pool
Exactly.
chase geiser
So this is definitely targeting a blue collar sort of trying to save money.
hannah claire brimelow
I need a study right now on the price increase across everything because I feel like Taco Bell is actually going to get the best deal.
tim pool
I think they are probably Well, we've been living MAS and I've not noticed, uh, let me, let me, let me, let me check out, uh, our local Taco Bell and see what our prices are.
I mean, it was definitely like up compared to, cause we, you know, we didn't, I haven't eaten before this past like month.
We did not eat any Taco Bell in a really long time.
ian crossland
Tell me that it's not more than a dollar 49 for a hard taco.
Dude, I'm going to cry.
chase geiser
I always get the party pack.
It's like, you're going to cry, bro.
ian crossland
Man, these would be 49 cents.
They'd be like 79 cents, but then they'd go down to 49 on like a Tuesday.
tim pool
Yeah, Taco Bell's up there now too, man.
You're gonna cry.
ian crossland
Well, hydrogen fuel can actually be transported through the methane system, through the natural gas system, so it's like the system's already in place to deliver it, according to James Tuer.
tim pool
This is crazy.
What is it?
hannah claire brimelow
Taco Bell prices?
tim pool
A nacho cheese Dorito taco is $3.65.
I'm sorry, but a McDouble's better deal than that.
Cheesy Fiesta potatoes are $3?
hannah claire brimelow
There is some economist who can do a study on me.
Like, what is the best value fast food meal out there?
If this already exists, someone could send that to me.
ian crossland
That'd be really cool.
That's a thing.
hannah claire brimelow
I believe it's delicious, but I need to see a study.
I need some analysis done.
chase geiser
Yeah, we need deep facts.
hannah claire brimelow
That's the thing.
If you want it, you'll probably buy it anyways, but you will pay in other ways.
ian crossland
We gotta get Trump talking about hydrogen.
hannah claire brimelow
We're sort of dying over here.
ian crossland
If Hump starts being like, Hydrogen fuel!
We're retrofitting the economy!
Graphene!
We're retrofitting!
It doesn't even matter if he wins.
If we can get Trump talking about it non-stop and excited, it's gonna excite a bunch of other politicians to start talking about it just to keep up.
tim pool
So those were delivery prices, which are way higher.
No, a nacho cheese taco is $3 directly from the store, and a crunchy taco is $1.80.
ian crossland
Oh, it's over $1.59.
That was my fear.
$1.49, $1.59, $1.80 for a hard taco.
unidentified
I don't feel like I remember anything being that cheap.
hannah claire brimelow
I feel like I just didn't grow up with it.
chase geiser
I remember when the dollar menu was a dollar.
I remember when you get a mid-chicken for $0.99.
unidentified
$0.99?
chase geiser
That's crazy!
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, that was like 15 years ago.
I feel like the mid-90s is when I was at it.
I feel like dollar menu's like a euphemism, like close to a dollar.
It's like the dollar general store.
It's like actually everything's five dollars.
tim pool
It's gonna be funny when Trump's gonna be in a debate with Biden, he's gonna be like, the cheesy gordita crunch is five bucks!
ian crossland
It was $3.29 when I was president.
tim pool
It was $3.29 in 2019.
ian crossland
Joe Biden!
tim pool
We gotta get him.
ian crossland
We gotta get an interview with that guy.
Have the feelers gone out, Cassandra?
We gotta do this now.
tim pool
We just need to ask him.
ian crossland
There's no time to wait.
In fact, there is no time.
Time is not a real thing.
It's a concept.
Motion is everything.
tim pool
And we're moving.
Every time we talk to people on the show who are either working directly for Trump, they're always like, yes, of course.
Just let us know.
And we're like, yeah, OK.
And then like, I don't know.
ian crossland
They just had the big party at Mar-a-Lago.
Did you go, Chase?
chase geiser
Nah, I wasn't invited.
ian crossland
It was like for, uh, Police State?
Yeah.
chase geiser
Oh yeah, with Dinesh?
ian crossland
Yeah, Dinesh's new documentary.
chase geiser
We had him on it before we were talking about that.
Sounds really good, looks really good.
tim pool
Yeah, I think we're gonna be doing something with him, uh, with Dinesh soon.
I don't wanna say too much until I know it's confirmed, but is it?
Is it confirmed?
Surge is shaking his head yes.
Oh, okay, all right, we're gonna be, Dinesh is coming on at some point.
chase geiser
He's a great guy.
ian crossland
Yeah, he is.
tim pool
We're going to DC for a screening and then we're gonna do a show, so that'll be really cool.
hannah claire brimelow
He was fun to have on The Culture War.
tim pool
He's great.
Yeah, he's a good dude.
ian crossland
Yeah, he's real, like, kind of simple, like an easy-going guy.
I mean, he's a super brilliant, complex thinker, but like, just a simple, normal dude to talk to one-on-one.
chase geiser
Very accessible.
ian crossland
Okay, so we're gonna get Trump involved.
And make him talk about hydrogen.
No, he's gonna make himself talk about hydrogen.
hannah claire brimelow
I just can't imagine being Joe Biden's campaign right now.
Like, he's not gonna be able to come out there and say, I got ice cream scoops at my beach in Delaware.
It cost me $50.
Don't worry, Americans.
tim pool
Speaking of... No, no, listen.
Here's the story from Politico.
Fresh revelations contradict Joe Biden's sweeping denials on Hunter.
The corporate press is coming out against Joe Biden.
We know what's going to happen.
chase geiser
They're going to replace him.
tim pool
Donald Trump is going to come out and say that Taco Bell is too expensive and Big Macs are 18 bucks, and then the Democrats are going to get rid of Joe Biden, and this is how they do it.
unidentified
Yep.
chase geiser
Do you think that there's going to be like a terrorist attack here in the United States within the next 12 months?
tim pool
Yes.
chase geiser
And it'll be like Hamas-related or Hamas-inspired as an excuse to both get us into World War III and get Joe Biden out for his border policy so they can just replace him at the last second?
tim pool
Based on the reporting we've seen from a very simple assessment, if you trust the government, which I don't know why you would, but assuming you did, they're telling you that there is a risk of terror happening in this next year.
If you are a, I don't know, pessimistic politico, you're probably like, oh yeah.
I mean, the border's been ripped to shreds.
They're capturing people in the terror watch list down there, so yes, we're at great risk.
The probability is decent.
Now, as for if it connects to Joe Biden in World War III, I don't know about that, but I do not see Joe Biden being the nominee for the Democratic Party.
chase geiser
I don't either.
It's just a matter of how they get him out, yeah.
tim pool
This is not the best way to do it.
Accusing Joe Biden of corruption?
That's going to lead to a Trump victory, even if you bring in Newsom.
But if Joe Biden has some kind of medical episode and Gavin Newsom runs on a stage and saves his life, now Gavin Newsom's the frontrunner and it's a clean exit for Joe Biden.
hannah claire brimelow
I think the Kleenex is ideal for both parties.
This was mutual.
The fact that it's so much so many Hunter revelations makes me think that the Biden camp is resisting and they're going to go kicking and screaming so they have to destroy him because he won't go quietly.
chase geiser
And so they're saying it would just be to pardon him for everything, though, then they would stop investigating because it would be moot.
tim pool
No, the issue is the deep state goes to... I guess the theory is the deep state would go to Joe Biden and say, hey, we'd like you to bow out, not run for second term, and we're going to bring in Newsom.
And Joe Biden says, nah, I can do it, man.
Come on, I'm good for it.
And they're like, Joe, we're telling you we're not going to let you do this.
And he goes, you can't stop me.
And so they're like, we're going to we're going to have to forcefully get this guy removed.
hannah claire brimelow
That's why I felt the first couple years that they were asking him, like, do you think you're going to run?
And he was like, yeah, yeah, for sure.
And then Corinne Jean-Pierre or whoever, maybe Jean-Pierre could be like, oh, they're talking about it.
They're thinking about it.
There was obviously some sort of disagreement internally.
And yet Biden is still announced via video that he was going to run again.
And that's when you saw an increase in the pressure on Hunter Biden.
I mean, the fact that the mainstream media is now willing to talk about it is like this
very bitter pill because ultimately it means they don't actually care about this at all.
They care about something else and we'll find out about it in six months.
ian crossland
I think he's going to exit the presidential race like he exited Afghanistan in a humiliating
chase geiser
He will have to pardon his kid first.
That'll be like the sign that you know that it's over is when you hear that Hunter's getting pardoned and then like in a week you're gonna hear that he's not running.
hannah claire brimelow
I don't think he, I mean, he's a hundred thousand years old anyways but he couldn't run again if he pardoned his own kid.
chase geiser
He was born like three years after the air conditioning was invented for the automobile.
hannah claire brimelow
There was some, yeah, there was some study that was like he was born closer to the civil,
I can't remember what it was, I don't want to misquote it, but like,
tim pool
Closer to the Civil War than today.
chase geiser
He was old enough to, he was potty trained by the time Hitler died,
so he's old enough to remember when Hitler was still on the radio.
ian crossland
He was born in 42, wow.
chase geiser
Yeah.
ian crossland
November 20th, hey his birthday's coming up.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, and that, I feel like we should be honest, I, Obviously, Trump is older too, but he doesn't slur and shuffle the way Joe Biden does.
ian crossland
Yeah, it's cellular age.
He's way younger.
unidentified
Yeah, and I think that's, I mean... Oh, it's not true anymore.
tim pool
It was true a couple years ago.
hannah claire brimelow
Oh, okay.
tim pool
Because he was born 77 years after the end of the Civil War.
So when he was 76, he was born closer to... Oh, wait.
No, no, no, no.
It's actually true now.
chase geiser
I had it backwards.
It would always be true, right?
I mean, it would always be true.
tim pool
Right.
chase geiser
Once it becomes true.
tim pool
Right.
So no, no, I was wrong.
No, it is true.
It was 77 years in the Civil War.
And he's what is he?
unidentified
78?
tim pool
78?
Yeah.
ian crossland
Oh, no, he took off took office at the age of 78.
Yeah, right.
tim pool
So that yeah, you're right.
I was wrong.
It is true now.
He was born closer to the Civil War than to today.
chase geiser
Right.
tim pool
And like from his birth.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, this is just how time works, but then to be like, and this is the guy leading our country.
This is the guy who can't remember anything.
chase geiser
This should definitely be a cap.
Like, if you have to be at least 35, you should have to be not over 65 or 75.
hannah claire brimelow
It was honestly one of Mitt Romney's best political moments when he announced he was going to retire rather than continue to use these terms, because he was like, if I run again, I will be in my 80s, and that's too old.
And, you know, that's not a terrible point.
Again, I'm not saying that Trump should run, I'm not saying that everyone who's in their 80s is in the position Joe Biden is in, but we can't say that we're like this young, spry country.
There was a reason that JFK had such an influence on politics, right?
That he was young, he had these kids, he had a beautiful wife, whatever else.
tim pool
Oh, Trump is spry.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, and this was one of the appeals for DeSantis in the beginning.
People were comparing him, you know, to this young, he's got young children, whatever else, got a young wife.
There was sort of this idea that it was sort of a brush off right there.
This was before, I think, Trump announced.
Obviously, there's more contention now.
I'm not trying to weigh in on that.
chase geiser
Trump got him on his heels.
tim pool
But then Biden, haha.
But then, not Biden, then DeSantis showed up to school wearing high heels and everyone went, hey, look, new kid's wearing high heels.
And he went, shut up.
No, I'm not.
unidentified
I wanted to bring this up.
hannah claire brimelow
I was thinking about this before the show.
rent he's in Iowa right now and he's doing this, you know, rally with Kim Reynolds and
there's a picture of him. So it's Casey Rhonda Santas and then the governor of Iowa and her
husband and Casey Anthony is wearing sneakers. And I then tried to pull a photo of her in
heels and they are weirdly always the same height difference even when she's in heels
tim pool
and yes, there's a there's a meme photo showing Rhonda Santas walking on the beach barefoot
with his wife and he's got the same height advantage.
Then there's a photo of her wearing high heels, and he has the same height advantage.
hannah claire brimelow
It doesn't make sense!
Like, I just used some science to figure this out.
There was like a moment I was sitting in my office comparing pictures of them in different shoes, and I feel like this was an easy catch.
Either she needs to always be in heels, we maintain this height difference, or she can never wear sneakers again.
chase geiser
I don't think the problem is that he's short, though.
Like, I think he should have just leaned into it.
Like, hey, you know, statistics show that if you're perceived as short, it's a disadvantage, so I just try to, you know, Fit the bill.
tim pool
Someone super chatted that when Patrick bet David questioned him on the high heels and said, how tall are you?
He should have went, well, I identify as 6'2".
And then everyone would have laughed and that would have been the smooth deflection.
Instead he was like, what are you talking about?
I'm not wearing high heels.
It just boots my butt off the rack like every other normal person does.
I am human.
ian crossland
Yeah, he even said he hadn't seen the meme, which is like, yo, it'd been out for a week.
chase geiser
Or his team was too scared to show him.
tim pool
What did he say?
It's no time for foot fetishes?
Well, he lost the foot vote.
hannah claire brimelow
That's a very controversial opinion to take, man.
tim pool
There's a bunch of guys on Wikifeet being like, Ron's lost my vote.
ian crossland
This is, it says Casey DeSantis is 5'5", or 5'9", depending on the source.
unidentified
Wow.
hannah claire brimelow
Maybe she should come on the show, because I'm 5'9".
tim pool
This is why he won't come on the show, because we're gonna be like, take the boots off.
We have a fine carpet floor.
hannah claire brimelow
We have an ancient household here.
ian crossland
Literally, I'm wearing socks right now, just so you know, I don't have shoes on.
tim pool
We should implement... You don't need to hold your feet up, Ian.
ian crossland
But I already did it!
hannah claire brimelow
No, we just have to get that name from now on.
tim pool
Because our carpets, you know, they get cleaned every week.
But to preserve the longevity, no shoes policy.
So, Ron, please come on the show and no shoes.
It would be funny if he took his shoes off and his feet are just shaped like that, like big blocks.
hannah claire brimelow
He has really thick heels himself.
ian crossland
Like an action figure.
Did you at any point?
tim pool
That would be a really funny bit, actually.
He takes the boots off and his feet are just gigantic triangles.
ian crossland
Were you supporting him in any way before or at any point?
chase geiser
I always thought that he was a good governor, but I knew that I was gonna vote for Trump as soon as they started prosecuting him.
So I was sort of somebody that hadn't made a decision yet, but as soon as they really started coming down with the prosecutions, I was like, I'm gonna vote for the guy that they hate most.
ian crossland
What do you think about Vivek?
chase geiser
I like Vivek.
I had him on my podcast.
He's obviously been on Infowars recently with Alex.
I think that Vivek is a very bright, very honest guy that is positioning himself for some other reason than to be president.
I think he wants to be in second.
Everybody on the Republican side wants to be in second place because if Trump gets de-balloted, then it's like a There's got to be somebody else, right?
And so I think that was kind of the original thing.
But what he really seems to be pulling for for me is a campaign of awareness, but also he could be easily put in some sort of a cabinet position after.
And he's been very smart in that he's been the only candidate on the right who hasn't come out and criticized Trump directly.
And you never want to attack a stronger enemy head-on.
I think the reason DeSantis is losing so badly is because his campaign strategy was to attack a stronger enemy head-on.
Just come after Trump, see it right away.
It was very stupid.
Viveka has never once insulted Trump.
When I asked him, he said that he thought Trump was a great president.
He just thinks it's time for somebody else.
Just very vanilla.
And that's why you never see Trump bashing Vivek.
But he'll bash all the other candidates, but not Vivek.
Because Vivek's never been a dick to him.
ian crossland
Yeah, that's a good point.
That's very Sun Tzu.
tim pool
Yeah, it seems like, despite what Vivek is saying, he's going for the VP or the next cycle tenant.
ian crossland
He'd be a great VP.
tim pool
He would be, because he's a... I mean, Vivek is sharp as they come.
I've watched a bunch of his clips on Instagram and Twitter when he does interviews, and I'm just like, man!
chase geiser
Well, and he had a brilliant strategy.
He did, like, three podcasts a day for six months.
So he comes off sounding so polished, like Obama did, but Obama got there because of the focus groups.
Vivek got there because he's answered the same questions 1,700 times, because he's done so many appearances.
So he's just got the right answer for everything, and he's a high-IQ, sharp guy.
I know he made money from some Soros fund or whatever at one point.
I know he's invested in Big Pharma at one point, but I don't think he's sold out to them.
I don't believe that they're going.
tim pool
But I don't care.
I don't care if someone does, right?
Like, if David Hogg tomorrow came out and said, In tears, that he's looking at these statistics and he can't believe how wrong he was, and he wants to dedicate his time to fighting for gun rights, would people be like, NO!
unidentified
No.
tim pool
Some people would.
But I'd be like, this is fantastic.
A guy with a million followers is now all of a sudden... So, if Vivek did do things you don't like, but now he's saying all the right things, keep encouraging to say he's doing the right things.
chase geiser
And he started the WFN1 because didn't they make him a young global leader?
And he's like, I never gave my approval for that!
hannah claire brimelow
That's the thing.
If David Hogg came out and was like, I'm actually for gun rights now, I would say, please show me the gun you have recently purchased so I can believe you are actually committed to this cause.
I mean, there is one thing to say I've changed my mind.
There's nothing to actually prove and consistently behave as though you have changed your mind.
ian crossland
I would go buy a gun with David Hogg.
tim pool
That'd be a good documentary.
hannah claire brimelow
I would love that as content on YouTube.
I feel like that would be really interesting.
chase geiser
What did you go buy a gun with?
hannah claire brimelow
Or not YouTube X or whatever we're into now.
ian crossland
If somebody wanted to go buy a gun and I was thinking about buying a gun, I'd probably do it with them if they wanted to.
chase geiser
Yeah.
Greta?
tim pool
Yeah, for sure.
ian crossland
We could talk about gun rights and how they're awesome.
The Second Amendment's legit.
tim pool
It is.
Quite indeed.
Oh, speaking of Second Amendment, the Infringe documentary is officially up tomorrow at 9am.
12 hours.
ian crossland
Lauren Southern!
tim pool
Yeah.
And we'll be doing a big ol' ad campaign promoting it.
So, let me just say to all of you listening, when you go to TimCast.com and you become a member, what do we do?
We commission Lauren Southern and Jean Dutoit.
Am I pronouncing his name right?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I think so.
tim pool
It's like T-O-I-T, so I'm like, I don't know, is it French?
Dutoit.
Dutoit.
And, uh, they do excellent work.
And that was a very expensive, uh, a very expensive project with all the travel and all the people and all the scheduling.
And, uh, then we're also going to be dumping large, large amounts of money into marketing that documentary all over the place.
And it is a documentary explaining the importance.
I shouldn't put it that way, but it's about gun rights.
It's called Infringe and explains the purpose and the point.
It talks a lot about the issue of guns from a very, I would say, pro-gun perspective.
ian crossland
I saw the trailer.
Is the trailers public at this point?
tim pool
I think there's a couple clips from it already up on youtube.com slash Timcast as well as some trailers and then we've got three different short trailers coming up.
ian crossland
I like the way they framed it because they really highlighted the dangers of like mass shootings and gun violence and then it sounds like then they start to talk about why it's important to protect your rights and defend yourself from that stuff.
tim pool
It's really simple actually.
A centralized security apparatus does not work.
The idea that you can give all of your security to one organization in one location...
is an absurdity.
At the very least, argue 80-20, right?
That 20% of the security is handled by the individual and 80% by the apparatus.
I'm not even saying that, I'm saying at minimum, the idea that only police will have guns means criminals will have guns because clearly they're in violation of the law.
And as the saying goes, when seconds matter, police are minutes away.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
And this is why we experience more, this is why the study showed that in gun-free zones, People are less likely to stop a mass shooter.
chase geiser
And everywhere else, excluding gun-free zones, 51% of shootings were stopped by a good, a person law... A lot of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones, like they happen in places like schools.
ian crossland
I had a dream last night that a group and I went to protect these people and we got there and they were like, someone's got to stay to protect the kids, the children.
And I was like, okay, I'll do it.
So I stayed there, but all I had was a knife and I was just there with the kids.
And then this guy came and he had a shotgun.
It was like one of those pump action, automatic, semi-automatic shotguns.
And I was trying to dodge him around the couch and I ran around the edge and he just shot me in the face.
unidentified
Damn it.
ian crossland
And then I was still alive in the dream and I was like, I need a gun.
I cannot, I cannot defend myself and these kids without one.
chase geiser
I heard you can't die in dreams.
ian crossland
I didn't, yeah, I've never really died.
tim pool
I think you wake up.
No, I've died in dreams before.
chase geiser
And just been dead?
tim pool
But like, it just, the dream keeps going in a different way.
I've had tons of dreams where I've died.
chase geiser
You die and you're just laying there and like everybody's hanging out?
tim pool
No, no, like I had a dream where there was a nuclear explosion and then everyone died and then all of a sudden I
was still in my dream doing something else like
I was like, oh wow, we all died in nuclear explosion, but we're still just like in a different building now
hannah claire brimelow
I don't know How did you know that you died?
tim pool
So I had a dream where we were in a car and there was like we saw like an icbm coming like uh
And then like a nuke went off And then I was, it was like, it was like a nightmare.
It was like a scary feeling.
And then there's like a wall of like white light.
And then all of a sudden it's just me and other people were in a room and we're like, wow, I can't believe we all died in that nuclear explosion.
chase geiser
And then just like- You were in the lobby of like heaven.
tim pool
Something like that.
I don't know, maybe.
But in dreams, things don't make sense and you don't realize things are happening.
So it's just like, it carried on.
And then I woke up like, whoa, that was a crazy dream.
ian crossland
I love that relief when you get killed in your dream and you're like, oh, I'm not really dead.
This is awesome.
tim pool
So Ian's died in his dream.
chase geiser
I had this dream all the time where I need to shoot somebody and I don't have the strength to pull the trigger.
You ever had that dream?
ian crossland
Yeah, in my dream, I couldn't bring myself to stab the guy because I didn't want to get blood all over the place.
I'm like, what is wrong with you?
tim pool
That's not it.
It's the idea called punching in a dream.
chase geiser
Yeah.
tim pool
You can't exert force because it's something to do with the chemical that paralyzes your body.
So you move really slow.
You can't run properly.
And also something about because of because of the way like your brain works in dreams, you can't read either.
And so when it comes to lucid dreaming, one of the techniques is to try and read.
So there's a bunch of things you can do.
But you can, uh, if you wanted to read about one of them is, when you read something and it's gibberish, you should, you should realize you're dreaming.
There's a bunch of, there's a bunch of other, uh, other tricks too.
chase geiser
So like, Biden's inaugural speech.
ian crossland
I always notice if you're ever in a dream and you can't get out and you want to get out, close your eyes really tight, tight until you can feel it.
And as soon as you feel it, when you open them, you'll be awake because it's that feeling that wakes you up.
tim pool
I mean, everybody's different.
When I usually want to wake up, I just wake up.
I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow
It's like... Excellent self-discipline, Tim.
tim pool
Yeah, I just wake up.
I'm like, oh wow, I was having a bad dream.
hannah claire brimelow
I've had dreams where I think I have woken up and so I can picture my room and stuff like that, but I am actually still asleep.
And I think this is often because I have to set up a lot of alarms, so you're sort of waking up and you're immediately going back to sleep.
chase geiser
The dream where you like get up and take a shower and get dressed and you're like on your way to work and then all of a sudden you wake up and you're like, I gotta do it all again!
hannah claire brimelow
Turns out none of that is real.
It's very frustrating.
tim pool
I do think it's funny that nightmares are depicted in media as like being attacked by monsters or like chased by a killer when in reality nightmares are like you have a dream that you miss you're late for work.
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
You know it's like my nightmares are like I woke up at 8 30 and I'm like oh crap and I'm like trying to get dressed real fast and I'm like I'm anxiety like I gotta get up there I gotta record oh man and then I wake up and it's 7 and I'm like oh Brains just like feeling stressed out.
hannah claire brimelow
Let's see what happens.
I used to have this dream that I would get to the last day or like exams when I was in college and realize that I had forgotten about a class I had signed up for for the entire semester.
chase geiser
I had that dream before too.
hannah claire brimelow
And it was extreme.
I always found it very stressful.
chase geiser
The not graduating dream.
hannah claire brimelow
It's not even that I wouldn't graduate, it's just like, suddenly you realize you were supposed to be, either you would fail this class, because you had to go take the exam, but actually you had never taken the class, and you didn't realize you would be an outsider.
chase geiser
It's funny, I had that dream like twice a year, I thought I was the only one.
That's crazy.
ian crossland
I would get the one where I would be on stage for the play that I never rehearsed for, and I'm like, I got all these lines and I don't know any of them!
Literally, it's the most embarrassing, like, let's have 10,000 people watching or whatever, 5,000 people.
tim pool
We'll hard segue back to news.
We have this tweet.
This is a viral video.
It's going around.
Hammer attack on a painting in the National Gallery in London.
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, we gotta watch it.
And there is so much to be said about this video.
Here we go.
We got two people smashing the glass in a painting.
unidentified
It is time for deeds and not words.
It is time to just stop oil.
Politics is failing us.
Politics filled women in 1914.
If millions will die due to new oil and gas licensing.
Millions!
If we love history, if we love art, and if we love our families, we must just stop oil.
tim pool
Here's where it gets sad.
They go and sit down.
Now wait for the most depressing moment, and it's right there.
ian crossland
Oh, he loves her.
You know he just joined the movement because he's really attracted to her.
hannah claire brimelow
Freaking theater kids in the wild.
tim pool
She grabs his hand.
Now, I'm sorry, life is what I tweet.
I said, life must be really hard when you're an effing idiot.
He says, so there's glass in this painting, and they're not using just hammers, it looks like they're using these emergency hammers that I think have special material for breaking glass.
chase geiser
That makes sense.
tim pool
Yeah, and they're trying to damage the painting, but I don't think they're able to because these are very, very well-protected paintings.
But you see, I'm sorry my friends, he says, millions of people will die because of these gas leases.
We must just stop oil.
It is very basic and simple common sense that if you stop producing oil, dozens, tens of millions, millions, dozens of tens of millions, 60 million people will die in three days.
In the United States, in Europe, Because oil is used to produce food, to create electricity, instantly, we talk about this all the time, the diabetics die overnight without refrigeration.
Without the production of oil, he would not be wearing a hat, he would not be wearing glasses, he likely wouldn't be wearing those jeans.
ian crossland
The soles of his shoes.
tim pool
He also wouldn't be getting laid.
Well, no, I mean, if they got it, that chick would be all about it.
But they're both so insane, cultists, being used for political purposes, they don't even bother Google searching this?
It's like, hey guy, what fuel is used to drive the tractor?
Is it produced from oil?
hannah claire brimelow
Or the bus that brought you here?
tim pool
Yo, they tried doing electric farm equipment, and it's just like people are like, are you nuts?
It doesn't work.
Electric trucks, they're already having problems with it.
Because maybe we get to the point when we have ubiquitous graphene polymer batteries, and we can recharge an electric vehicle in 30 seconds like you can refill a gas tank.
Maybe.
It's possible.
But right now, we use oil for everything.
Humans, a large portion of this planet exists simply because oil exists.
Yeah.
You can actually track the oil age and the population boom.
All of a sudden we started discovering oil and uses for it and then the population skyrockets.
Then you get the 50s and the petrochemical boom and we're kind of like... The unabashed burning of oil is not good.
ian crossland
If we never stopped just burning it all and putting things into it and burning them into the atmosphere, we'd probably all choke and die.
But we're not doing that.
We're reusing the carbon.
So we don't need to stop using it.
We need to reuse the carbon.
chase geiser
Alex Epstein wrote an awesome book about this.
I don't know if you guys have ever had him on the show.
He would be an awesome guest.
He wrote a book called Fossil Future.
And it was basically making the case that Just what you said.
More people would die if we actually did these green energy deals than if we did this, because the third world countries are the ones that rely on fossil fuels the most, even though they're not the greatest culprit of pollution, but they rely on it the most because it's the cheapest form of energy.
So if you're gonna... When we do things internationally like force third world countries to obey our sort of green standards in exchange for funding and money and stuff, it actually could lead to a catastrophic amount of death for people that rely on things like gas for heating.
tim pool
It's our, I don't know if, I don't know if I, you could say it's the cheapest.
It's the highest energy return.
So, you know, a cow is a form of energy.
You can use a cow to pull, you know.
chase geiser
Tom Tom.
tim pool
Farming equipment to like, sow, you know, to like, you know, harvest a field or something like that.
But, you know, that's not as efficient as oil.
So it's that you get way more energy out of oil.
Now look, there's an issue.
If you look at global population, it's very steady.
And then right at the turn of the century, 1900s, it skyrockets and just goes exponential.
And that's due to oil.
We were all of a sudden able to mass produce food much, much more quickly.
Everyone became very fat and happy and people have lots and lots of babies.
And so this results in a massive population boom around the world.
But now, because the oil went up, people go up.
If the oil goes down, the people go down.
And so that means if you just stop oil, you're gonna kill dozens of millions.
Tens of millions.
hannah claire brimelow
We can all admit, this was incredibly lazy.
They came up with this fun slogan, just stop oil.
They put it on a bunch of t-shirts.
They forgot their little tool to bang the glass.
I mean, I miss that guy who superglued himself to his Starbucks counter.
These people are like, they brought a friend to film them.
Hopefully he is.
That was way more interesting.
chase geiser
How did they pick the painting?
tim pool
That's my question.
chase geiser
They're like, all right, we got to have a strategic choice.
hannah claire brimelow
They're like, the lighting is really good here.
You stand over there and we'll sit here and it'll be great.
I mean, I just feel like this had no, it's, it's not even that passionate of an event.
So it's no wonder that they have no idea what they're arguing for, because all they're doing is trying to get clout on social media.
Are we looking at JustStopOil.com?
I mean, what are they even arguing?
chase geiser
Who sees that and changes their mind?
Like, we just watched it, I feel the same way.
hannah claire brimelow
Or if someone sees them and is like, wow, I love these young activists doing something, where do they go?
tim pool
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that JustStopOil was funded by a bunch of oil companies indirectly.
I'm not kidding.
chase geiser
That's brilliant.
Reverse psychology.
tim pool
I wouldn't even call it brilliant, I'd call it basic.
Like, if you get a guy in a Trump shirt and he walks around screaming, he's all super drunk and he's screaming, Trump!
And then he walks up to a guy who's waving a little flag saying, help us, Joe Biden wants to help us save puppies.
And then the Trump guy hits the Biden guy and it's on video.
Who does that benefit?
Not benefit Trump.
People are gonna be like, oh wow, those Trump supporters are crazy.
This, by any metric to any social media marketing person, they filmed this.
Social Media Marketing 101, if you are the aggressor, you are viewed negatively and benefit the inverse.
False flags.
So what they're doing is benefiting oil companies.
They look unreasonable.
They look unhinged.
They've been, what, you have those people blocking the roads?
That's not gonna convince, that makes people angry.
So all these, I seriously believe oil companies are like, let's indirectly fund these anti-oil NGOs to make people despise the oil protesters.
hannah claire brimelow
That makes sense to me.
I mean, when I see stuff like this, I think about these pieces of art that if someone really destroyed them, we would lose them forever, right?
It's a similar argument we make with, like, the Confederate monuments, right?
Those were a form of art that once destroyed can never come back.
And so maybe you feel really passionate about this issue, but this is a very lame protest to me that could potentially destroy something that has nothing to do with anything else.
Of course they don't care.
They don't care about anything.
But if you're a viewer, it doesn't make me want to support their cause.
ian crossland
We got to refocus it onto reusing the waste, the fuel waste.
You have fuel.
You have three types of fuel.
There's hydrogen, carbon, and plutonium.
Those are the only things that can function as fuel.
The difference between what fuel is means it can be put into a container and moved around, carried around.
Everything else like wind turbines, solar panels, they're not types of fuel.
They're just types of energy generation.
But you need to reuse the fuel waste, so the carbon dioxide.
Or for plutonium, they've got spent nuclear fuel, is what they call it.
And I'm actually interviewing a guy tomorrow on my YouTube channel, 2 o'clock p.m.
Eastern, who funds companies that are investing and reusing plutonium, spent nuclear fuel, turning them into things like, I don't know if he's going deep into the diamond batteries, nuclear waste diamond batteries, where you put it inside of carbon and it can produce like 10,000 years of electrical charge.
tim pool
Your phone never needs a charge.
ian crossland
As long as we focus on reusing the waste of fuel, we're gonna be okay.
We can keep using the fuel.
hannah claire brimelow
Ian, can I ask you a question that's off topic?
If you had to propose to a girl and buy her an engagement ring, would you make graphene the center stone?
Would the whole thing be out of graphene?
tim pool
Graphene is a single atomic sheet.
hannah claire brimelow
Okay.
But how would you incorporate graphene?
Because I feel like that's the only material I could see you using.
It's such an important part of your advocacy.
ian crossland
I'd get a platinum gold silver, probably a platinum gold palladium ring, like three metal bands with a diamond.
hannah claire brimelow
So no graphene at all?
I obviously don't know what graphene is.
ian crossland
I don't know enough if graphene's safe to have in skin contact for long periods of time.
tim pool
I was just carving, dude.
ian crossland
I talked to a chemist before I did that, but that's kind of a cool idea.
hannah claire brimelow
I think there's graphene shirts or something.
ian crossland
I have one on right now.
This is graphene spandex.
My pants are actually graphene as well.
It's cool.
They stay cool in the heat.
chase geiser
Second foot of the episode.
tim pool
I do want to disclose, I did invest in a graphene manufacturer.
I fully intend to monetize off of Ian's constant shilling for graphene.
ian crossland
Was it Universal Matter?
tim pool
No, no, but in all seriousness, when Ian started ranting about graphene, I did buy stock in a graphene company a long time ago, and it's like one of my only stocks that's improved.
ian crossland
I would recommend checking out UniversalMatter.com.
It's one of James Tour's companies where they're flashing the graphene with electricity.
They're flashing carbon with electricity and producing graphene with it.
And they're mass, mass, mass producing it.
So this flash jewel heating is the future.
tim pool
Can graphene be used to make annoying oil protesters stop smashing things and throwing paint on people?
hannah claire brimelow
Not even graphene is that powerful.
tim pool
Unfortunate.
ian crossland
Maybe.
Maybe you could improve the roads.
Uh, you could actually make a graphene cover to that painting that they couldn't crack through.
chase geiser
Every time they hit it, they get electrocuted.
hannah claire brimelow
They would just find some other way of being annoyed about something else.
Like, this is the personality type.
They came with a prepared monologue and someone to film them.
chase geiser
He loved the practice sessions, though.
That's the saddest thing for that guy about this event, was that he doesn't get to rehearse anymore.
tim pool
Well, the saddest thing about it is that he rehearsed his speech, but he didn't Google one time anything that he was saying.
ian crossland
It could help them.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, me too!
ian crossland
When you turn carbon into graphene, it holds it so it doesn't get out into the atmosphere.
Turning carbon into graphene is so solid of a material that you don't lose it.
tim pool
This woman probably went to a meeting, he met her at a bar, and she's like, well I'm
going to a Just Up Oil protest.
He's like, so am I!
Yeah, me too, I'll be there!
And that's probably the only reason he's there.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, that makes sense.
I mean, this was one of the stories that I liked from last year, which is a lot of the get out the vote efforts were young women who were on, they would set their dating app profiles to whatever city they were trying to get people to register vote in for their, you know, progressive cause.
And they were just like, talk to guys like, wow, you're so cute.
Are you voting?
Maybe like, it'd be cool if you registered to vote.
And here's a little bit about this candidate that I'm supporting.
tim pool
It's kind of weird.
Wasn't it typically the men who would try and court the females by doing a weird dance, but now the women are doing the weird dance to court the males?
hannah claire brimelow
On behalf of a politician?
unidentified
Right.
hannah claire brimelow
It's super creepy, I hate it.
chase geiser
Do you think there was some of that going on with the Israel-related protests that we saw a couple days ago in D.C.?
tim pool
I mean, this goes on with all protests everywhere.
chase geiser
Because it seemed like a lot of college kids and a lot of dudes, I'm like, what is that dude doing there?
I'm like, oh, he's probably there for some girl.
tim pool
Right, it's like, you ever watch It's Always Sunny?
chase geiser
Yeah, sometimes.
tim pool
The abortion episode where he's like, pretending that he's pro-choice or whatever, because he's just trying to get laid.
And then he's thinking, like, they must be easy or whatever.
And then what happens?
He tells the woman, the pro-life woman, he's pretending he's pro-life, and then when she gets pregnant, he's like, Oh, you gotta get an abortion!
It's never pro-life at all!
chase geiser
I haven't seen that one, that's hysterical.
tim pool
Yeah, it's one of those super old ones from like 20 years ago.
hannah claire brimelow
But this is the thing, I feel like men should just be more like, no, I don't like that, and girls would eventually, it might not happen as fast, but they would change their minds and listen to you.
tim pool
They're targeting weak, pathetic men like this.
chase geiser
Yeah, like themselves.
tim pool
I mean, yeah, this guy, like, he, look, I'll try and be as nice as possible.
If you're willing to get a hammer and smash the glass on a painting and then scream in a room of people without ONE TIME googling what you are saying...
You are not a high-functioning individual.
He must not be having an easy time of meeting ladies.
And so when this woman says, why don't you come with me and do this thing?
He says, okay.
Now I'm not saying it's absolutely what happened here.
I'm just saying, this is a common thing.
You notice that politically men tend to skew right, women skew left.
Men are a little bit down the middle.
And in biology, earmuffs for your kids.
In biology, it's called the sneaky fucker.
That is the actual biologi- uh, biologist term for individuals who just try and, you know, they sneak in to
get laid.
There are the strong males who succeed in courting the women, and then there are the sneaky fuckers.
chase geiser
Like Revenge of the Nerds.
ian crossland
Yeah, that's messed up.
chase geiser
That was a dark moment.
ian crossland
I saw that when I was like 16.
That was crazy.
tim pool
That movie was messed up.
He rapes the woman.
And then she's like, wow, but I liked it.
hannah claire brimelow
What?
tim pool
Revenge of the Nerds.
ian crossland
You gotta watch that movie if you've never seen it.
chase geiser
It's kind of a bad message on accident.
tim pool
Was that supposed to be that he was a good guy or something?
chase geiser
Yeah, like if you do a good job, she won't think it's rape.
unidentified
That was the theme of that.
tim pool
He's in a costume.
She thinks it's her boyfriend.
And then they do it and she's like, wow, that was great.
And he's like, ha.
chase geiser
He takes off the mask.
All nerds think about is sex.
tim pool
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
That's just a horrible movie.
Why would I watch it?
chase geiser
Well, the movie's actually hilarious.
It was just a really bad call to do that scene like that.
ian crossland
Dude, in like, did you see Airplane, the movie?
I mean, it's girls talking about the young girl that she likes her coffee black, like her men, and she's like nine or ten or something.
Like, they got away with that stuff in the 70s and 80s.
chase geiser
Yeah.
ian crossland
No cap.
tim pool
There's a movie out right now called, what is it called?
Totally Killer or something?
I don't know.
It's got, it's on Amazon.
And it's, um, Kiernan Shipka and she plays, uh, teen- like, I think she's a teenager who goes back in time to the 80s because there's like a serial killer in the 80s.
I don't know, you gotta watch it.
But it's really funny how they make fun of wokeness because all the kids in the 80s are just like...
They're just being kids and doing what they want, and she's, like, getting offended.
Someone makes a crude comment, and she's like, whoa, that- or- there's a guy wearing a shirt that says, like, Federal Booty Inspector, and she's like, that is problematic.
And they're like, what?
Nobody cares, dude!
Everybody's totally fine with it.
ian crossland
It would be cool to do skits where we time travel back to the 80s, and then the whole cinema is, like, 80s style.
Cart- movie and then back to the 70s and it's like disco style like- We're making a 90s- Wesley, you hear me?
tim pool
We're making a 90s room.
I love it.
We just bought a 90s sound system.
chase geiser
I love the 90s, man.
Crazy about the 90s.
tim pool
Well, I mean, it's a gimmick, but the 90s are the last decade, that's why.
ian crossland
When you think of the 90s, what do you think of?
tim pool
I like the 80s, probably.
I would say I probably like the 80s more than the 90s.
ian crossland
I think of like 16-bit graphics.
tim pool
But what we're building is we're gonna have a bunch of vinyl It's not really a 90s room, but I have almost every Life Magazine ever from its inception.
I actually have the first copy of Life Magazine.
It was called something else before it got bought and changed, but it's really amazing when I was reading a pre-D-Day Life Magazine, and it was talking about how the US was stockpiling arms in the UK as a defensive precaution.
And then, sure enough, like, we know it happened, you know, a couple weeks later.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
The Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy.
At the time, they lied and reported, we are helping the UK sharpen its defenses as, you know, Hitler advances, blah, blah, blah.
So it's really fascinating to read a news article from when, like- That's disinformation.
During the Watergate scandal, or just a lack of information, or today's disinformation!
You could read a story and it's like, this politician said these things, and then later on they'll go, actually, he said something different.
Which one's true?
ian crossland
I got a question for everybody in the chat too.
What year was the best in the 90s?
What's your favorite year from the 90s?
chase geiser
Windows 98 was a big deal.
ian crossland
That was a good system.
95 changed the game.
chase geiser
Remember playing Oregon Trail on that thing?
ian crossland
I was on Mac.
I can tell you what my favorite year in the 90s was.
tim pool
Oregon Trail was on Mac.
ian crossland
My favorite?
No, I don't want to spoil it, 1993.
hannah claire brimelow
Why?
ian crossland
It's just so much changed in 93 technologically.
Like, 16-bit graphics, Super Nintendo stuff.
chase geiser
Say Genesis, when did that come out?
ian crossland
91 or 89, even, maybe?
tim pool
Genesis, I think, might have been 89, actually.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Or was that Master System?
ian crossland
Master System was a little bit before.
chase geiser
They made a version of it that used a compact disc, though.
tim pool
That would have been fascinating.
ian crossland
93 was like CDs started popping, and 92, well, it was a little bit before that.
tim pool
CDs were out in the 80s.
chase geiser
Rollerblading?
ian crossland
Yeah, rollerblading was hot.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
That was a good year, man.
hannah claire brimelow
What a fun time, the 90s.
chase geiser
A lot of people got 90, 98, 96.
unidentified
97.
ian crossland
97, 96 are always great vintage when you're picking out records.
unidentified
97?
97, 96.
So if I ever find that in a record, I'm gonna pull it for sure.
It was like 91 and 96 were like different realities.
I got an idea.
If I ever find that on a record, I'm gonna pull it for sure.
ian crossland
It was like 91 and 96 were like different realities.
tim pool
I got an idea.
Super chat the year of the 90s that you thought was the best.
chase geiser
It was $1,995.
tim pool
You were saying... So if you want 1998 to win, that'll be $1,998.
You were kind of joking almost, Tim, that... You know someone's gonna be like, oh, the 1892.
hannah claire brimelow
You didn't say which year.
chase geiser
Best year ever was 3380, year of our Lord.
ian crossland
Before the show started, how the 90s were the last decade, and it's like kind of tongue-in-cheek, but so much technology changed in the 90s, and the internet became so prevalent, where like, it wasn't about, be there at 8 o'clock to watch the show, and then maybe you'll see, maybe you can tape it on your recorder.
It's always on the internet now.
Everything's always there.
tim pool
Not everything is hyperbolic.
I will say this.
It is not tongue-in-cheek.
The 90s was the last decade.
What that means is the 20s, the 10s, the 1900s, the 10s, the 20s, the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, each of those has a distinction to them for something specific.
The 90s has a distinction to it.
The 2000s do not.
2010 does not.
2020s do not.
ian crossland
Yeah, they just felt like an extension of the 90s.
2003 still felt like 90-something.
tim pool
It's like from 2009.
chase geiser
How long do you think it took for them to understand the vibe of the 80s though?
Like how long after the 80s did it take before people were introduced to it?
That looks very 80s.
ian crossland
Like 98?
chase geiser
Like 8 years?
ian crossland
Well no it really got popular in 2012.
tim pool
That 70s show came out in the late 90s?
Mmhmm.
ian crossland
20 years.
tim pool
Was that late 90s?
Imagine if we did a show today called like that 2005 show.
You'd be like huh?
They'd be wearing the same thing.
ian crossland
It's still on the internet.
tim pool
If you go to Hot Topic, they're selling the same products they sold 30 years ago.
Nothing has changed.
Kids are still buying Nightmare Before Christmas, it hasn't changed.
If in the 80s they're wearing leopard print, hot pink, you know, hot pants, and they're rollerblading around in circles, and they've got mullets, and then in the 90s, they all have long hair with baggy jeans, with ripped knees, and flannel shirts, there's a clear distinction.
The style of music in the 80s was very, like, synth-y, and the 90s was very rock and grungy.
chase geiser
Almost like a back-to-real.
tim pool
The 2000s to now, there's no distinction.
ian crossland
Music got digitized, homogenized, and I wonder if it's because, like, high-fructose corn syrup and opioids stunted everybody in the 90s.
chase geiser
No, it's because of the internet.
Have you ever gone back, though, and, like, watched something, like, a show produced in the early 2000s?
Like, if you watch Lost, some of their choice of attire is very—you can tell it's from a different era.
ian crossland
What were you going to say here, Claire?
hannah claire brimelow
Well, I was going to say, I feel like a lot of it is the dominance of the internet.
There's a lack of creativity and a lack of community building.
Parts of the things that we're referencing with the 80s, you know, with the 80s neon or whatever else, with the hippies in the 70s, you get the more pattern, the feathered hair, whatever else.
Those were things that people were doing in their social groups that were more widely adopted as they spread by the end of that decade.
ian crossland
And then it changed.
hannah claire brimelow
And then now that we have put everyone online, and maybe that's why you feel like the 2000 is sort of the end of this, like you can feel distinction there because at that point, the internet really took off.
It became not only something everyone had in their home, but in their pocket.
tim pool
All right, we're gonna go to super chats.
So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.

The members only uncensored shows coming up in about 25 minutes.
But I just wanna give a shout out right away to the clever people Who, uh, successfully super chatted $19.94.
unidentified
$19.97.
tim pool
And, uh, one person believes the year 4999 was the best 90s piece.
ian crossland
I'm kidding.
unidentified
He said 1998 was the best.
tim pool
thousand ninety seven cents watch and uh... one person believes the year four thousand nine
hundred ninety nine was the best nineties because
i'm kidding he said nineteen ninety eight was the best
but um...
well there you go that's what we do it yet I would say if we're going to base the best year off of Super Chats, and I scroll all the way back up through all the Super Chats, the year 1999 is the best, whether anyone wanted it to be or not, because that's just a generic number you can Super Chat.
ian crossland
It was digital fidelity hit 1080p, and since then the human brain can't comprehend more, I mean it can, but it's like that's, it's just become hyper-realistic now, and it's never, like the office may as well have been made yesterday, it looks the same.
chase geiser
I think we see the changes a lot more gradually too.
Cause before it was like every month there was a magazine that came out, but today we're on TikTok every day.
So like different trends, you like, it's almost like the frog metaphor where if you warm the water up slowly, you don't feel it.
tim pool
Well, what happens is there used to be a handful of channels and a handful of radio stations, and it was a top-down broadcast.
So they don't want to invest in 800,000 songs.
They just want to find the one good song people like.
And so everyone hears the same music.
If you go into a bar, you turn on Bohemian Rhapsody, everyone will sing it.
But if you put on any modern music, the singing stops.
Because, like, three people might know it and another 27 don't.
It's all niched out.
Alright, we'll read some more Super Chats.
We got Derpy Dolphin says, I heard a Pfizer ad in the grocery store today.
And I'm not gonna read any more of that Super Chat.
Thank you very much.
Alright, we'll grab some more.
There were a few early ones.
I know, uh, I believe Clint Torres got the first Super Chat, but YouTube appears to have, uh, removed your Super Chat and a few others in the beginning.
But, uh, shout out to Clint Torres for once again saying howdy, people, and getting the first Super Chat of the day.
He said that he died, but he is back, and then the rest I don't know, because it was removed.
Alright, let's see.
What do we have?
SirRank0 says, Hey Tim, if you look at the page dated 2-3-23, you can see a sentence bleeding through the page that says, I'm a queer.
Also, the photos show that there are multiple books.
Notice the different bindings.
Interesting.
Interesting.
So there's actually several different books.
And there's also reportedly a video that's not been released.
Interesting.
David R. says, Tim, I got married on Saturday.
Please shout out my beautiful wife, Krista, watching tonight.
Shout out, Krista.
Congratulations on being married.
Krista R. and David R. Aw, congratulations, guys.
unidentified
That's awesome.
tim pool
What do we got?
hannah claire brimelow
Hopefully you got married somewhere with foliage, because it has been really beautiful this year.
tim pool
Buster Ruckus says, with the way they hid this manifesto, I'm convinced they are still hiding something about the Vegas shooter targeting a conservative country concert.
Perhaps.
But I believe, um...
What did they say?
He was a gambling... The latest story is that he was a high-stakes gambler who was angry that he was being mistreated even though that he was like high status or whatever.
I kind of don't believe that at all because... I don't think it was a gun deal.
chase geiser
It went bad.
tim pool
Right.
That's... And for some reason they started shooting and... Multiple shooters would be explained.
And the fully automatic.
Some people think that it was government-related and that's why they're not going to release anything.
chase geiser
They had to kill him and they wanted to cover up that it was a gun deal and so they did a mass shooting so it looked like him as a patsy.
tim pool
They, this guy came in to do a gun deal, and maybe he wasn't even with government, I don't know, and then the guys who came in, the deal went sour, and they started shooting, and they're unloading, who knows, who knows.
I'm just saying, the explanation that he was like a high status player, as someone who is a low status player at these casinos, like I don't have the elite tier or anything, they still treat you very well.
Like, I don't get it.
I've had my problems, don't get me wrong, but typically, They make money off you giving your money away.
They try really hard to accommodate you.
Like, if you go to there and you say, like, I want a free drink now, they'll be like, okay, okay, fine, we'll give you a free drink.
Like, people will roll their eyes at you and be like, whatever.
Most casinos just give you free drinks.
ian crossland
They want you drunk.
unidentified
Right!
ian crossland
They want you gambling and losing your money.
hannah claire brimelow
He's in Vegas and he's like- The better floor and stuff like that, so you'll spend more time there.
They want you to be happy.
ian crossland
They pump oxygen in.
Is that what you said?
They do, they pump oxygen into the rooms.
hannah claire brimelow
I think they all kind of stuff.
Oxygen, extremely comfortable carpeting.
tim pool
I mean, if the argument is he wanted to be given, like, they have secret rooms at all these casinos people don't know about.
But, like, you kind of know about.
Maybe he was like, I want the ultra premium.
chase geiser
Didn't they lock his brother up, too, for months later for something they found on his computer?
tim pool
He had, like, planes and stuff.
But, yeah, so, little known fact is that they have secret gambling rooms.
And, uh, you can look them up and try and find them, because it's not that they're so secret, but they are secret.
If you are somebody who's worth, like, a hundred million dollars- You wanna hide their identity?
Yeah, and you wanna gamble, like, five hundred thousand dollars in one night, they're gonna bring you to a private room with private security guards, and they're gonna- and then you're gonna play with a bunch of other billionaires and whatever, and no one will know you're even there.
Yeah, it's crazy.
ian crossland
It's cool.
tim pool
Even super cool rooms.
Yeah, they, uh, I know for a fact, I think most people, anybody, anybody who plays poker knows this, too.
They have secret poker rooms where, like, Hong Kong and Macau billionaires show up and play with, like, people for, like, a two million dollar buy-in.
It's like, it's like James Bond-esque.
I was talking to a dealer and he's like, yeah, yeah, we had, uh, you know, we had a pro, I'm not gonna say the pros name, but a pro came down with a bunch of Chinese billionaires in there playing like a million dollar buying game.
Like it was nothing.
ian crossland
That's just like another reality, man.
So the strata of humanity existing, some people live on their yachts and want it all to.
tim pool
He was saying the ultra-wealthy Chinese, like Hong Kong and Macau billionaires, didn't care that they were losing to this poker pro because... Because they wanted to be playing with the poker pro.
They wanted to be playing with the poker pro, they wanted to play poker because it was fun, and the million dollars meant nothing to them.
Because they're worth so much money, they were just like, oh, I don't care.
And the poker pro, who is worth millions, makes his millions by playing against people who want to play with a pro.
It's crazy, dude.
chase geiser
It's like OnlyFans for poker players.
tim pool
The crazy thing about the world in terms of class, and I say this a lot, people don't like hearing this, is that a lot of the class distinction is a choice.
And I'm not kidding.
There are people I know who are very, very dumb and come from humble upbringing, but just started selling Gucci products, figuratively, to ultra-wealthy people.
Someone can buy a bunch of beads and make a necklace and sit on the street and sell it for a dollar, or you can make five of them, find a big party, buy a thrift store dress, go in there and say they're $3,000 a piece, and you sell them.
chase geiser
That's a lot easier to sell one thing for $1,000 than 1,000 things for $1.
tim pool
I know people who do one deal a year and they make 300 grand, and then they don't work for the year.
ian crossland
It's all about who you know.
Yeah.
And being confident.
tim pool
If you can convince a rich person to buy something off you, Then that's it.
And I'm not saying everyone can do that.
I'm saying there are people I know who are like, I don't like working at a cafe anymore.
And they went and sought out like Beverly Hills parties, went to bars, met people and got connected.
And then all of a sudden they're just rich.
chase geiser
But if you like have this philosophy that it's all the oppressive versus the oppressed, that it comes with like a certain hopelessness, I feel like that keeps people from taking chances or doing entrepreneurship things because they feel like the system will never render any success for them.
ian crossland
But I have a feeling if any of those people made a couple million, they would quickly change their tune about Oppressor vs. Oppressed.
Once you get that money, man.
tim pool
All right, we got some big news here.
The Dude Abide says, hey guys, update here in Illinois.
The assault weapons ban has been upheld by the Seventh Circuit.
It's expected to get scooped up by SCOTUS and heard next year.
P.S.
you should have Colleen Noir or Mark Smith from Four Boxes Diner on.
We should.
Colleen's been invited.
He has an open invite.
He's a busy guy.
He's doing his thing.
Um, yes, it'll be very, very interesting.
And I also want to stress, uh, in Lauren Southern's infringed documentary, Lauren Southern and John DuTois, their documentary is coming out tomorrow on TimCast.com.
And we're actually going to have, uh, we're going to put up clips as well.
So, uh, we'll have like 10 minute clips up on the main YouTube channel.
But if you want to watch the full thing, it's going to be a members only documentary experience at TimCast.com.
And, uh, we're also going to be heavily investing in an ad campaign promoting it.
So let me just say a few things.
When you become a member at TimCast.com, the money that we get from you as a member basically supports the infrastructure of the website, all the digital stuff, the streaming, it helps cover the costs of the building, the employees, that's what it's all going to.
And then we take the extra and we Go to people like Lawrence Southern and John and we say, like, how would you like to make this documentary about this issue?
Could you do it?
And they say yes.
Then we say, now we're going to take even more money and we're going to buy massive ads across Facebook and X and YouTube promoting what we want to win, which is the right to keep and bear arms.
So, I just want you to consider this.
When you're watching the Uncensored member show and you're having a good time, that money you give us isn't just so you can watch the show and we go buy cheeseburgers with it.
It's literally now funding commercials promoting gun rights.
So it's not that we're doing it as an activist organization.
We're hoping to make money by doing it.
But this is the cultural expansion, so I really do appreciate everybody who becomes a member, because that's what we're doing.
hannah claire brimelow
Plus we buy Taco Bell anyways.
tim pool
We buy Taco Bell for everybody, yeah, yeah.
But just understand that the things we invest in are cultural victory.
And I hope that the large, large amounts of money we invest in marketing this, the ads in and of themselves are a cultural victory in expanding.
It's not only about that we're literally promoting the right to keep and bear arms, it's that by putting money into this, what happens is you get other channels being like, wait, wait, wait, You're gonna pay me how much to sponsor X amount of dollars to promote gun rights?
A lot of channels will then say, I will absolutely accept a gun rights promotion ad if it makes me money, and they may be apolitical, they may not even care.
And now you have a bunch of channels that are like maybe video games talking about the right to keep and bear arms, and that's how you reach people in other spaces.
So, we're doing the work, we're doing the work.
Alright, where do we go?
What is this?
Allahad says, Hi Tim, I suffer from paranoid psychosis, and sometimes my anxiety makes life a living hell.
SSRIs are a godsend, if not overprescribed, saved my life.
Fair, absolutely, absolutely.
Glad to hear that that's working out for you, and I think it's fair to say, yeah, I don't want to demonize everybody who takes SSRIs either.
We, you got people on the right who don't want to be gunned, so they say, hey, it's the drugs, and it's like, how many people are taking the drugs, and how many mass shooters do you have?
It's, it's microscopic.
How many people own guns?
How many mass shooters do you have?
It's microscopic.
Let's just blame people who are unwell and figure out how we can stop them and actually help them before it gets to that point.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, and I think the point about SSRIs is good because there are people who benefit from it.
I'm not trying to say all modern medicine is awful just on its face, but you know, I'm sure this person could also say that it wasn't necessary.
It would be unusual to hear that it was just you were prescribed something the first time and it worked immediately.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of trial and error and that comes with serious risks.
It's not a perfect system, but hopefully something works.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
ian crossland
Maybe your gut biome.
Maybe probiotics.
I'm not a doctor or anything, but a lot of that mental stuff starts in the gut.
So check out your gut.
tim pool
So, uh, real quick, La Revolution says, Tim, the Chinese billionaires lose because they launder money through casinos.
ian crossland
That's awesome.
tim pool
Full stop!
You are incorrect, sir.
Uh, when you're playing a private game where the buy-in's a million dollars, they're only losing to each other.
The house, uh, typically it's called a time rake at these high-level games.
They're not, my understanding is, they're not taking a rake off the table, they're charging for the time that they're in the private room.
So every player who comes in Higher stakes, usually it's like every half an hour you pay a certain amount of money.
And it's actually, the higher you go, it does not go higher.
It's just, these rich guys go to the casino and say, we'll pay you $20,000 for a private room in a dealer for three hours.
And they go, okay.
Then they all play millions of dollars, and they lose it only to each other.
So they could be laundering through each other, fair point.
The two Chinese millionaires could be like, oh no, I lost a million dollars to this guy, and that's a way to make a political contribution or something.
That's the scary thing, right?
Politicians play poker.
And that's the easiest way.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Yes, right.
chase geiser
I was so proud of mine to have a pool table in the White House.
It was like, Jackson or somebody, the first one to put a pool table in the White House.
And it was like a big story when it happened.
Because gambling was associated with pool tables.
tim pool
A politician goes to a casino and plays, let's say, a $10.25 buy-in.
$10.25 blinds.
And so we're talking about tens of thousands of dollars.
Someone actually thinks they're going to win, but just goes, man, I fold.
And then the dealer shoves ten grand into that politician's lap, which he can then use for whatever he wants.
He's got to pay taxes on it.
It's gambling winnings, but that's one way to get large sums of money to politicians.
That stuff's got to be checked out, but I think there's really nothing you can do in that regard.
But again, fair point.
That's why they may be laundering money through each other, but not losing to the casinos.
All right, let's grab some more.
Tyler Adams says, Tim, have you seen the final episode of Attack on Titan from this weekend?
If so, what did you think?
I didn't, but I think I read the manga a long time ago.
So, I don't know, it's a great show by the way, it's a great story.
ian crossland
A great story.
Yeah, great animation.
tim pool
Last name, first name says apparently an older gentleman got attacked by a Palestinian protester in L.A.
and died from a head wound on the way to the hospital.
Ollie and Jack posted on Twitter, I did see this.
We do have some stories from local Jewish outlets and I don't know if we had enough information to actually report it tonight, but there's photos and there's video.
An old man, reportedly, was hit in the face by a pro-Palestinian protester with a megaphone, fell down, and hit his head and died.
So, I don't know to what degree we have confirmation yet, because we haven't been tracking the stories we've been doing the show, but I recommend fact-checking that one.
ian crossland
I just got a chat.
unidentified
1998.
ian crossland
This is from Dane Font.
1998 was the greatest year in gaming history.
Nothing has ever come close.
He has a six to back it up to, yeah.
Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate, Half-Life, Resident Evil 2, the list goes on.
Xenobears.
chase geiser
Superstation year?
Or, excuse me, the PlayStation year?
tim pool
Dane is correct.
ian crossland
95, I think, is when PlayStation came.
tim pool
There's probably way more games, too, in 98.
ian crossland
Starcraft, Brood War, oh, it goes on.
tim pool
Resident Evil 2 was like a revolution.
ian crossland
I remember Ocarina of Time, geez.
Mario Party.
tim pool
Mario Party!
unidentified
Yeah, 98.
ian crossland
Pokemon Yellow holding it down.
unidentified
Eh, yellow.
ian crossland
We have more Super Chatters.
I don't want to steal the... Thanks, Dane, but Thief, The Dark Project, that was... Ocarina of Time is a big deal.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's a big deal.
chase geiser
That game was also... Those speedruns are crazy.
ian crossland
Groundbreaking.
tim pool
What do we got?
ChocoPacoTaco says Zelensky is saying irresponsible to hold elections during war with Russia.
Democracy?
Still sending the money?
Where is the story?
That's right!
Zelensky said we can't do elections.
We can't.
It's just now's not the time.
I'm the president.
ian crossland
Did you see him say we can't surrender to this effing terrorist Putin?
He's like speaking in English now, Zelensky.
tim pool
I saw him say that the attempts on his life have left him scarred and disfigured and that he would be creating the first Ukrainian empire.
ian crossland
Oh, interesting.
unidentified
Who said that?
tim pool
Zelensky.
ian crossland
After Mace Windu.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
So this is how democracy dies.
ian crossland
Yeah, he was notably like, we're losing our best humans.
This is horrible, and we gotta stop, but we don't want to surrender.
tim pool
We got big news!
Jason Dixon says, Tim, please shout out your Discord.
We are going to have Scott Pressler on our After Dark show tonight.
TimCast.com members only have access.
Join us!
Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, if you become a member at TimCast.com, go to TimCast.com, click join us.
Get access to the Discord server.
After our uncensored show wraps, Scott Pressler will be hanging out in the server with all y'all.
So that's really, really cool what you guys are working on.
That's fantastic.
Great to hear it.
hannah claire brimelow
I love this grassroots organizer going super grassroots on Discord.
When he was on the show, they were like, come on!
He was like, I absolutely will.
It's not surprising to me that he made it happen so fast.
ian crossland
He's so legit.
hannah claire brimelow
He's so fun.
tim pool
All right, what do we got?
Why not, Bill says, maybe if you finished school, Tim, you would be able to read that word.
JK, school is stupid.
Yeah, you know, I pulled a Biden.
I accept it.
Methodically, I couldn't read it.
I want to say methodologically, because I'm always talking about the methodological and technological advancements in journalism.
It's like a thing.
And so I'm trying to read this word, but my brain is not pressing methodically.
chase geiser
Put the emphasis on the wrong syllables.
tim pool
Exactly.
ian crossland
Yep.
tim pool
That is exactly what happened.
And, you know, we all have our Biden moments.
The only problem is that Biden has them seemingly every day.
That's why they're called.
We call them Biden moments.
hannah claire brimelow
Yes.
His are consecutive all the time, and that's too much.
ian crossland
Yes.
tim pool
All right.
True Business says, Tim, the problem they have with you, you're not radical either way.
Common sense is a threat to the establishment.
We all appreciate you and others keeping America informed.
Thanks.
You know, I do think this.
We're not partisan enough.
And so, if someone is very directly partisan, staunchly conservative or whatever, it's very easy for the establishment to call them an other.
But it's much, much harder when you have this room.
When Hasan Piker calls Ian a conservative, everybody laughs at him.
chase geiser
Right.
tim pool
Like, anybody who's looking at Ian is like, what is he?
Is that green velvet?
ian crossland
Sure is.
tim pool
Right, it's like, this is not a representation of a conservative.
So, Hasan struggles to criticize Ian as an other, but Ian has ideas that contradict the establishment narrative.
How do you constrain something like that?
It's easy to point to Jack Pasobic wearing a suit and be like, ha ha, look at that suit-wearing guy, he's not like us, we're cool in our leather jackets, and then you get green velvet Ian, and they're like, eh, he's conservative?
ian crossland
This is inspired by Chase Geyser, by the way, with his badass blazer over there.
chase geiser
Oh, thanks, I appreciate it.
ian crossland
I gotta man up, I gotta suit up.
tim pool
Alex Jones was right, lightning bolt, look at that.
Right, alright, we'll grab some more Super Chats.
Grant Arnott says, did you finish Attack on Titan?
If so, what are your thoughts?
Man, everybody's asking me.
I thought the manga was over a long time ago.
I'm pretty sure I read the end.
unidentified
No?
I don't know.
tim pool
I'll have to check it out.
Let's grab some more.
What do we have here?
XYNZ says, how about this for an executive order?
Any university that takes federal money has to reach into its own endowments to pay off their past students' debt.
Problem solved.
unidentified
Hmm.
tim pool
Um, here's an executive order.
As of January 1st, 2024, all universities are hereby dissolved.
chase geiser
That's what I'm talking about.
hannah claire brimelow
What about like Hillsdale, though?
chase geiser
Radical problems require radical solutions, baby.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, they're all... Oh, okay.
Even the privately funded ones, they have to collapse, too?
tim pool
Yes, that's right.
hannah claire brimelow
Okay.
chase geiser
Diabetes is illegal.
tim pool
And then we send in the National Guard.
chase geiser
There goes your insulin prices.
ian crossland
They should at least stop calling them universities, because they're using the word universe.
tim pool
That's cheap.
Non-partisan Katie says McDouble used to be $1.10, now it's $4.95.
I'm assuming that's like in some urban markets, but man, remember the dollar menu?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Wendy's dollar menu?
hannah claire brimelow
I do not remember.
chase geiser
It was actually a dollar, like 20 years ago.
hannah claire brimelow
I know, it's just the fries were a dollar.
ian crossland
But I just want to stress, Frosty's were a buck.
tim pool
If you went back to like 1870 and said you were eating off the dollar menu, they'd be like, whoa!
unidentified
A dollar?
Yeah.
chase geiser
That's like an anchor plan.
tim pool
We got a Richie boy over here.
hannah claire brimelow
You'd be like, menu?
tim pool
We don't get this at all.
chase geiser
You got homestead with that.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
tim pool
The dollar menu in the 1800s.
You're like buying a house.
chase geiser
Yeah, it's like literally just the state of Illinois.
Would you like a state?
tim pool
That's kind of crazy, though.
Like, what would you do if you were buying something... They had half pennies back in the day.
unidentified
That's crazy.
chase geiser
Sometimes a penny's just too much.
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, Manhattan was buffered to, what, $24 and some goods.
$24 for the entire... That's about how much it's worth now.
tim pool
Yeah, but hold on.
Is that $24 in today's dollars?
unidentified
No, it was back then, but it's still $24.
It's not that much.
Oh, right.
What was $24?
tim pool
The Manhattan Island.
But the other issue is that, what people don't understand about this, is that it actually wasn't bought for anything.
The Native Americans were like, these crazy guys are giving us money for no reason.
And they're like, we just don't want you, and they're like, okay, we'll go there.
ian crossland
60 guilders worth of goods that are worth around $20.
hannah claire brimelow
What is a guilder?
ian crossland
I don't know, but they gave it Peter Minuit.
hannah claire brimelow
Is that like pallets of stuff?
ian crossland
From the West India Company purchased it.
tim pool
So I want you to imagine this.
Imagine there's a guy watering a lawn, and you walk up to him and say, I'll give you 50 bucks for this house.
And he goes, sure.
Then you give him the 50 bucks, and then he walks across the street to his house, and goes into his house that he lives in, because he doesn't own that property.
chase geiser
It's not my dog, right?
tim pool
That's basically what happened with the Native Americans on Manhattan Island.
They're like, if you guys go across the river, we'll give you 20 bucks.
They're like, deal.
ian crossland
Apparently a gilder is translated from Dutch-German gilden, meaning a gold penny.
tim pool
Wyoming is $2.49 before tax.
I still would not recommend eating it at all.
ian crossland
Yeah, start cooking.
Get some red lentils.
You hit them with some oil.
Get them sizzling and then boil them for about 15 minutes.
Some salt and vinegar.
Oh my, it's the best base.
You can make so much goodness out of that.
tim pool
So last week, Monday, I was feeling really bad, achy, stiff.
And I'm like, man, it's like something's going on, you know?
And so this past weekend I ate pretty well.
We went to a nice dinner.
I had like a soup.
I had the, it was a really nice restaurant that had pretzels as an appetizer and dinner rolls.
And I'm thinking it was the bread.
So Monday I'm, I'm feeling stiff and achy for no reason.
I'm like, I was like, I was rested.
So I stopped eating the bread.
The next day I went pure keto, a hundred percent.
chase geiser
Yeah.
tim pool
Because I was doing keto for a while and then I eased off it, but I'm still relatively low carb.
And then I cut bread out entirely, but kept some starches.
And I feel like a million bucks.
I think the bread, I say this all the time, the bread's screwing me up.
ian crossland
It cuts down into sugar, yeah.
tim pool
But I, no, I think it's the gluten.
ian crossland
It breaks it into sugar, your body does.
tim pool
I've had no problem with potatoes, and I had a nice dark chocolate with some carbs in it, and some maple honey mustard with beef, but no bread, and a million bucks.
I really do think it's the gluten.
unidentified
Yeah, man.
tim pool
I don't know, but, you know.
ian crossland
Take ten days off of gluten.
tim pool
I'm doing like that isolation diet stuff that like the Petersons have talked about.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, nice.
chase geiser
You gotta do the Shackleton diet, just penguins and ice.
tim pool
Penguins!
hannah claire brimelow
Do you know the cost of penguins these days?
Are you crazy?
tim pool
I did keto for like almost a year and a half, two years.
Yeah, just about.
And felt great.
And then I was like, now I'll reintroduce a little bit, but keep it low.
And then started feeling wonky.
And I think it was bread specifically, because now we went out to eat and I had like a soup and I had Brussels sprouts and like a small amount of potatoes.
chase geiser
I did it for six months, but I lost too much weight.
I went from 185 to 147.
unidentified
Wow!
chase geiser
I'm 6'2".
Yeah, that's way too much.
Did you feel good?
I'm 5'11".
unidentified
I felt great, but my doctor said I needed to gain weight.
You're 5'11"?
hannah claire brimelow
That's a fake height!
chase geiser
I felt great, but my doctor said I needed to gain weight.
tim pool
You actually are 6'2", though, right?
hannah claire brimelow
But you're not allowed to say that under President DeSantis.
chase geiser
I just started eating normal again, like an American, and I gained half the weight back.
tim pool
Here's the funny thing.
The 6'2 guy is so comfortable with his height, he jokes about how he's actually short because he doesn't care, whereas the short guy is nervous and lies that he's 5'11 because he's embarrassed about his height.
hannah claire brimelow
If you're actually 5'11, you just say you're 6 feet.
It's such a fake height.
ian crossland
It's a fake height.
5'11 and a half.
That was mine for a long time.
tim pool
I'm 5'10 and 7 eighths.
ian crossland
Oh, nice one.
Have you measured yourself?
tim pool
I can't say 5'11.
chase geiser
Elizabeth Warren is 1,024th Native American.
tim pool
She is.
chase geiser
She's 500 times, Barack Obama's 500 times more white than she is Native American.
hannah claire brimelow
Wow, 500 times.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
What the Costco CEO actually said, we can't say on YouTube, and it's so amazing, we will say it as the first line on the members-only show.
unidentified
It's hilarious.
chase geiser
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
tim pool
Oh, he said something way more serious than that.
unidentified
It's funnier than that.
chase geiser
That's one of the best moments in cinema.
ian crossland
Someone just said sauna in the chat.
I did do a sauna today.
Highly recommend saunas, by the way.
tim pool
You know, we got the cold plunge ready to go, and I think the hot tub's working again.
ian crossland
Oh, right!
tim pool
Yeah, so I think we're gonna get that cold plunge up and ready.
ian crossland
Someone said that the baptism from the Bible was just Jesus doing cold plunges on people.
That was the funniest comment, and I wonder if it's some truth to that.
tim pool
All right, Cole Leonard says, a steak and guac bowl at Chipotle with a drink is almost 20 bucks.
Had to switch to chicken and no guac to save money.
Dude, that video where the woman's like, I went to the store and I couldn't afford to buy meat.
It's just like, eat the bugs.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's what they're doing.
hannah claire brimelow
No, thank you.
tim pool
Your children are going to, man, you guys ever watch me for Vendetta?
Of course.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Remember the scene where she's, uh, when V takes her to his underground lair and she's eating the toasty and she's like, is that real butter?
I haven't had this since I was a kid.
That's the future for your kids if they're lucky.
chase geiser
It's like 1984 with the coffee.
tim pool
She's gonna be sitting in the room and she's gonna bite into it and go, is this real butter?
And then he's gonna be like, it is real virtual butter.
And then she's gonna toggle her VR headset and then be sitting in her pod and she's gonna reach with almost no room to a cockroach and eat it and go, wow, real butter.
Anyway, put her VR goggles back on.
ian crossland
I got a feeling that the bugs aren't going to be that bad.
They used to call lobsters disgusting insects and now they're like the most delicious.
If they're prepared right, it's just protein.
tim pool
Some of them, but remember when we tried the cricket bread?
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
It was not good.
It was like D plus, C minus.
chase geiser
I think there's a reason we have a psychological aversion to insects when we see them.
tim pool
No, I don't completely agree.
I think any man should eat bugs just so they're prepared for if they have to eat bugs.
I'm just saying like this, I view learning how to use a firearm similarly to understanding what bugs you can and can't eat, what leaves you can and can't eat, You should know these things not because the world is going to end or because you're a prep or anything.
It's because maybe one day you're out on a hike and there's like a road closure or a flood happens and then you're with some people and you need to survive for like 16 hours and you need to know where you are.
chase geiser
It's going to take longer than 16 hours before I start eating bugs though.
I might just get the meal done.
tim pool
No, for sure.
What I'm saying is sometimes emergencies happen and how prepared are you for actual conflict?
chase geiser
Right.
hannah claire brimelow
I'm okay with it being like in an emergency, survival, lost in the Grand Canyon for three weeks, you gotta know what bugs you can eat.
I'd be down for that.
I understand that purpose, but it's the slowly they'll stop putting out meat in the grocery store and instead they'll be putting out your grasshopper patties and all that stuff.
I'm not ready to commit to that lifestyle.
I don't want it to be this subtle change that people say, oh, it's an alternative, it's an alternative, and all of a sudden it's the main source of protein.
tim pool
