Speaker Time Text
tim pool
So the GOP, Committee on the Weaponization of Government, has exposed the US government
spying on Trump supporters and, more than that, people who bought Bibles.
So if you used terms like MAGA or Trump in your transactions in any way, they were tracking you, flagging your purchases, and spying on you.
This has to be one of the most egregious spying operations that's been exposed in a long time.
It directly targets a political class of people who have done nothing wrong, simply voted for the other guy.
This shouldn't be surprising to anybody.
Donald Trump said it.
They're not after him, they're after you.
He's in the way.
And that's the reality.
It is the people they are going after and they do not want Trump to win.
In fact, I'd argue they're after Trump, obviously, but they're after you as well.
So this is a absolutely Man, I'm surprised this is where we're at, to be completely honest.
And I wonder how serious people take this story.
But this is huge, because to me, it reeks of they're likely building a database and profiles of individuals who oppose their establishment order.
And this is very, very bad news for people if Joe Biden wins.
It is more than just the economy will be bad.
We are entering social credit score style systems.
If we do not win in this election cycle, It's gonna get real bad.
But we'll talk about that.
We got other really great news.
Sean Strickland finally pulled the trigger.
We've been waiting for this with the new UFC fight coming up.
It's this Saturday, I believe.
He's giving a press conference and he just rips into the corporate press, into wokeness.
unidentified
He calls wokeness an infection, an enemy.
tim pool
He gets asked about Bud Light, and he just goes off.
It was beautiful.
We will, uh, in fact, I think he was a little bit too far, but that's okay.
We'll call it a big ask.
We're gonna jump into all that stuff and the big news of course.
We do have more news.
The new Galaxy S24 was announced and I gotta tell ya, it's actually terrifying.
I'm buying one, you know, just so everyone knows.
But it's got this new feature that basically fills in photos through AI, which means you're gonna start seeing photographs on social media that are not real.
It is now becoming.
I know filters already exist.
We get filters exist.
We know that filters are fake.
You can kind of tell when a filter is being used.
But we're talking about taking a picture of a person and moving them slightly.
And people won't notice that's what's going on.
This is entering an era where almost every single photo you see that appears to be a candid photo of the real world is actually manipulated or altered in some way.
We'll get into all that stuff.
Before we get started my friends, head over to casprew.com And pick up Casprew Coffee to help support the show.
You can see this beautiful commercial with Alex Stein because we launched Casprew Coffee's Alex Stein's Primetime Grind 2x Caffeine Coffee.
It is available at Casprew.com and drink responsibly.
Do not freebase or snort coffee.
Drink it the way it's supposed to be drinking.
And you can also pick up Appalachian Nights.
You know, I was going over sales for Casprew and Appalachian Nights sells like 10 times more than anything else.
I think we hit one out of the ballpark here.
People love Rise with Roberto Jr.
That's our breakfast blend.
It's a light roast.
But once people order Appalachian Nights, they just start ordering it over and over and over again, and sales have just skyrocketed.
So I'm really excited.
I'm glad everybody really enjoys it.
The coffee shop I have the correct date for you.
It looks like it'll be around June.
The shop is open.
I know I said April last time.
April's when apparently contracting will be near completion.
I don't know.
But around June.
Should be great.
And we hope to see you there up in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more is Brianna Morello.
breanna morello
Hi, thank you, Tim.
I am Brianna Morello, the host of The Brianna Morello Show.
Many of you who do know me, you might be familiar with me a little bit because I was very vocal when I quit Fox News.
I was a Fox Business producer for Maria Bartiroma for a little bit and then moved back to New York City and immediately was told I had to get the vaccine.
So I left.
And so now I'm in the independent world and it's going well.
tim pool
That's interesting, because there were a lot of people claiming that Fox wasn't doing the mandates, but they were.
breanna morello
Yeah, they were complying with the New York City private sector mandate, and ultimately people who were saying publicly on the network that we weren't complying with any vaccine mandates, there was no vaccine mandate, well now they're coming out and they're changing their tone a little bit, saying that they did get exemptions.
So ultimately an exemption is you complied with the vaccine mandate, I didn't want to do that, so I bounced.
tim pool
Right on!
Well, thanks for hanging out, it should be fun.
breanna morello
We've got a lot to talk about.
tim pool
We've got Phil Levante.
phil labonte
Hello everybody, my name is Phil Abate, lead singer of All That Remains, very failed musician, anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
What's going on Ian?
ian crossland
Oh, you know, I interviewed Mike McCulloch today.
This is a British physicist who is developing this theory of quantized inertia, which does away with dark matter.
It's a fascinating interview, the guy's brilliant.
I was just following along trying to make sense of the whole thing, so check it out on YouTube and Rumble.
And also I've got this This copper coil here, I've been using the Rife machine lately.
Royal Rife was an inventor in the 1920s that developed- was using frequency to heal people.
So you run frequency through these copper wires and you can amplify the frequency with this modulator and just feel it, man.
tim pool
I got a bigger- It sounds like hippy dippy mumbo jumbo.
ian crossland
It sure does!
And you wonder why the mainstream media hasn't pushed this vibrational healing possibility.
I don't know.
It's because it's cheap.
It's relatively cheap and free to do it to yourself.
And you can feel the different frequencies affect you differently.
It is really wild.
tim pool
I believe you that you can feel them.
I don't believe that Well, I guess I shouldn't say anything.
I don't know anything about it.
I recommend talking to an expert on the rife machine.
ian crossland
It's fair to say that you don't believe it off the bat.
Like, why would you?
I would need evidence to believe something like that.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
And it's kind of silly because there's a lot of things that doctors might offer you up and you're like, I don't know what that word means.
You know, they'll be like, here's a chemical drug prescription.
And you're like, I believe you.
So I always just defer to medical experts.
phil labonte
I will say I feel like science has a pretty good grasp of electromagnetism.
Like, we understand how that works pretty well.
ian crossland
It's so new.
It's really not new.
We just discovered it like in the 1850s.
phil labonte
The electromagnetic force is not really all that new.
tim pool
I don't want to get into a debate over this weird stuff that has nothing to do with anything we're talking about.
ian crossland
Yeah, not before we introduce Surge.
phil labonte
Yeah, Surge.
serge du preez
Yo, yeah, stuff vibrates, bro.
unidentified
Welcome to the show, everybody.
I'm excited to do this.
My name is Surge.com.
tim pool
Let's jump into it.
Here's the story from scnr.com.
unidentified
U.S.
tim pool
government asked banks to flag private transactions including MAGA or Trump purchases of Bibles.
This is wild.
The U.S.
government asked financial institutions to filter private customer purchases using terms including MAGA Trump as part of a January 6 investigation.
Perhaps most shockingly, they also asked for a warning of purchases of religious texts, including the Bible, that could indicate extremism, according to the letter to the former director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Noah Bischoff, from the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan posted the letter on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, writing, We now know the federal government flagged terms like MAGA and Trump.
Okay, so we don't need to read the quote.
We know it.
He also says, if you were shopping at Bass Pro Shop.
This doesn't seem, in my opinion, like they're just trying to find criminals.
It seems more like they are building a profile database.
They're going to have a list of... Look, man, we often joke that Facebook knows when you poop.
And the reason I bring that up is because it brings a little levity to the situation.
But we are entering the era of pre-crime.
You guys ever seen, you've seen Minority Report, right?
I love this movie because it's like, I think it's a Philip K. Dick novel, or story, and then it gets turned into a movie.
And the idea is they have, they get lucky.
In the D.C.
area, they find three psychics.
And they plug them into a machine, and then the psychics can predict murder.
The reality is you don't need psychics, you don't need magic.
They have built these databases that track what you do, what you say, when you say it, and they are building databases and profiles and predictive machines.
And it's not just about whether you've done anything wrong, it's whether or not you are a threat to their proposed order.
So the reality here is it's actually quite simple.
Aren't they going to come knock on your door and arrest you because you bought a Bible or went to Bass Pro Shop?
No.
But are you going to get denied that loan for your small business?
Yes.
Are you going to get higher points for your interest rates when you try to buy a house?
Yes.
Are you going to fail?
Are your kids going to be rejected from certain schools?
It's going to be subtle.
They're not going to come out right and be like, we reviewed your score and the federal government's spying on you, finding out that you went to the best pro shops.
No.
They're going to be like, okay, let's try and see if you're available.
You're alone.
We can get you alone in that house and you've been denied.
And you'll say, why?
I'm like, you know, it just says you've been rejected.
Sorry.
Have a nice day.
And it's going to be because of things like this.
phil labonte
So this made me think of one of the things I saw right after the announcement of the Iowa caucuses.
Joy Reid came right out and said, you know, look at all of those white Christians in Iowa.
And it was just demonizing people because of their religion and because of the color of their skin.
there's not and there's there's no mincing words about it anymore it is clearly and openly she was i think she was talking about whether or not uh people would go for nikki haley and i and i think that that that was the in the content that's the context of mentioning but even still um you know The idea that they're talking about people that bought Bibles.
You know, they're going to start focusing on religious people, and they're going to start making people that have any kind of religion, uh, that is not approved by the state, um, they're gonna, you're, they're gonna demonize people.
And it's not gonna be- Social credit score.
Well, yeah.
tim pool
It's everything.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
You're gonna get, you're gonna get pulled over more.
So, when there's a, a, a, People are getting screened at airports.
It's gonna be things like this.
You're gonna go to the airport, and you're gonna be going through, and they're gonna be like, you're fine, you're fine.
You, the alarm went off.
This happened to me during Occupy Wall Street.
It happened to James O'Keefe.
This is funny.
With James, he gets the four S's on his boarding pass, and then people are like, yo, they're saying you're like a terror threat.
That was really funny because, you know, during Occupy Wall Street, When I was traveling, the same thing happened to me.
I'd have four S's, and they actually, I kid you not, they stole a USB drive from me.
It had nothing on it.
It's just really weird.
But what pissed me off the most about it, is that it was really expensive.
Back then, these, like high, like, we're talking ten years ago.
If you wanted to get, like, 128 gigabyte USB flash drive, I mean, these are like $100 plus!
Super expensive!
And so I have it in my bag.
I'm going through security, they stop me and say, you've been randomly chosen for a screening.
And I'm like, that's not true.
unidentified
It's not random.
tim pool
They pull me off to the side and say, you're gonna have to wait here while we screen you.
And I was like, I can't see my bag.
And they're like, your bag's fine, sir.
When I got my bag, expensive USB was gone from it.
And they said, I don't know what you're talking about.
And that's it.
So it's going to be things like this.
You're going to be trying to go, you know, you're going to walk through, you're going to go to a venue.
They are constantly going to put roadblocks in your way because the issue is not that they will lock you up as an individual.
The issue is they want life to be 5% harder for anyone who supports Trump and 5% easier for anyone who does what they want them to do.
And then, in the long run, people will move towards the path of least resistance and give in and give them what they want.
You'll make choices every day.
Where you say something like, do I really want to go to Bass Pro Shop?
If I do, you know, I'm going to get a social credit score.
Ding.
I'll just go to the mall or something.
You want to buy a Bible?
If I buy a Bible, I'll just... I'll just... I'm not going to buy one.
I'll just see if I can get an old one somewhere else.
These are the pressures they're going to put on you so that they can control what you do and what your kids do.
breanna morello
Yeah.
You guys remember Kyle Serafin, FBI whistleblower, who warned us that they were going after Catholics.
Now we're seeing this happen on every level of the federal government right now.
And it's disturbing, but it keeps happening.
And, you know, Christopher Wray will downplay it.
The director of the FBI will downplay it and pretend like it's not happening, or just like a little slip up.
Oh, one person did this, but it's not.
It's happening all over the federal government right now.
And no one's really stepping in to say much besides, you know, this letter from Jim Jordan, thankfully.
But what will happen?
We don't know.
Well, I wonder if Bass Pro Shop will even weigh in on this or if they'll even go after them.
Ultimately, they're harassing their customers, and that affects their line of business, doesn't that?
phil labonte
Yeah, I don't imagine.
They're not going to say anything at all.
They're going to shut their mouths.
They don't want to draw attention.
tim pool
Bass Pro Shop needs to file a lawsuit and be like, hey man, we're going to lose money because of this.
What do you want to be spied on?
ian crossland
It's a fishing shop?
tim pool
Yeah, you've never been to Bass Pro Shop?
unidentified
No.
breanna morello
Oh, you missed the video.
tim pool
Well, because they have guns, probably, is why they're spying on people.
breanna morello
Yeah, that's why most of us pay cash these days.
tim pool
Man, I don't think that matters.
breanna morello
I know, they'll still find you.
ian crossland
I've been seeing this coming.
In the age of quantum computers with quantum encryption hacking, they're going to be able to break encryption real easy and go back for the last 20 years of your encrypted stuff and then make that stuff in a database too.
It's a part of why I don't type a lot about politics on the internet.
I don't like it in text.
I speak it with my voice.
Of course, artificial intelligence is going to be able to pick up video chat and talking and stuff.
I have self-censored, righteously, I think.
I don't want to virtue-signal my political beliefs in text.
It's almost like I've seen the writing on the wall.
I know that this technocracy is knocking at the door right now.
tim pool
Knocking at the door?
I think we're through the door already.
ian crossland
They've been inside the house for a while, but they're still knocking.
There's more than one of them.
tim pool
I mean, we're going on almost two decades now.
It's 2024.
This all starts in the social media era in the 2000s.
phil labonte
Yeah, Patriot Act.
That's what the thing I'm most scared about is the idea that all of the things that you need for like a digital prison or whatever are already in place and already turned on before people even realize it.
Like with the whole thing with AI.
If AI becomes aware of itself before people are aware, you know, like that kind of that kind of situation where like it just kind of happens like everyone got their phones like plugged into their into themselves.
Like you didn't realize that you were going to get addicted to it, but everyone just kind of did and now you're dealing with the consequences.
And I'm afraid that's going to happen again.
ian crossland
Something that kind of has worked me up and freaked me out is when Klaus Schwab about three months ago said, the biggest threat to the new world order is libertarianism.
And I was like, what the hell?
unidentified
What is he?
ian crossland
All of a sudden, it's right in plain sight.
They're like, this is we finally said the thing that for 20 or 30 years, you've been that we've been pretending like we're not saying that libertarianism is that like an American political just no it's ideology just liberty. It's just
phil labonte
just it's it's the the purest
Individual first kind of political philosophy that you can come up with I think is probably it's older than this new
ian crossland
technocracy So I don't see how this old
Methodology could be a threat to something new the new thing has the burden of proof on it
It has the burden of requirement to show that it's better than what we had before.
The past can't threaten the future.
phil labonte
Well, it's not even the future, though.
All this stuff they're talking about, collectivism, these are not new ideas.
These are very old ideas.
ian crossland
The problem is that it relies on electricity.
All this stuff relies on electricity.
All this whole technocracy, this whole global spying endeavor.
If the power goes out, we're back to, like, grassroots.
phil labonte
Yeah, but I mean, the impulses that they have, like the kind of, like, You know, centralized top-down power, centralization stuff like that doesn't need electricity.
They did that in the Soviet Union with like, when it first became the Soviet Union, there was no, it was a peasant, you know, they were all farmers and agrarian.
They didn't go through the normal, you know, capitalism and then to socialism.
Or what Marx said, Marx said that it would be capitalism and socialism.
They jumped from like the Stone Age to like modern times.
ian crossland
So like, and they were very brutal and like monarchies are known for being very, at least past in the past, very brutal.
If you spoke out against the king, get your head cut off kind of thing.
phil labonte
I don't know that they really are known for that.
I think that there were some that were, but that I don't know that I'm sure there were plenty of benevolent dictators and, you know.
ian crossland
They also wrote the history books, so they're not going to write themselves to look like evil villains.
But like, the electricity maybe is what keeps Central Authority peaceful.
And if the electricity goes out, then they have no choice but to rule by force.
tim pool
Thailand still has les majesté laws.
ian crossland
What's that?
tim pool
If you disparage the royal family in any way, you get locked up.
Even if you're quoting someone else to criticize the criticism of the king.
If you said something like, did you hear what that man said?
He should be jailed for saying the king is stupid.
Oh, you said the king is stupid.
You're under arrest.
phil labonte
Oh, for even just forming the words.
tim pool
Well, that's what, that's what I was told.
And people in the country were very scared to, they were like, you can't even criticize the phrase.
You can't say, how dare someone say the king is stupid.
That's what, that's what I was told.
That's how serious the law is.
But man, back when I was this, like 10 years ago, they loved the king.
No, I don't know, because it was King Bhumibol.
ian crossland
That was a different king.
tim pool
Well, now it's his son, and his son was considered to be like... It was really funny because we did a documentary in Thailand about the king and how he was beloved.
He did a lot to help raise the literacy rates and pull people out of poverty.
So as much as there were people... It was funny because there were groups that were protesting monarchy and wanted a parliamentary system.
I think they have one, but they wanted to get rid of the monarchy.
And they were like... All of the leaders that I met were like, the king's so awesome.
But it's just time for a modern era.
That's the only deal we have.
And then there were some people privately be like, I hate these, like more leftists and more like, you know.
But then when the Prince was taking over and he's like seen on video, like flying somewhere wearing hot pants and like doing drugs and other weird crazy.
phil labonte
Yeah, right.
tim pool
It's like a Hunter Biden.
I literally like Hunter Biden.
Then people were just like, okay, wait a minute.
So we made this documentary and we tried releasing it.
We actually had to structure.
I got a script I was reading And then after we finished, they come back to me and they're like, we need to re-read this line for the documentary because we insinuate that there are people who called the prince a bad name, and this could get people in Thailand thrown in prison.
So there's another way to phrase it.
Instead of saying he's a drug-addled moron, say, people view him as weaker than the demigod father that he has.
And I was like, are you kidding me?
phil labonte
And they were like, Better safe than sorry.
tim pool
We really want to criticize the guy, and so that's how we do it.
It's a challenge because the documentary then got massive play in Thailand.
They all wanted to watch it, and they said, if you insult the prince, no documentary sees the light of day.
It was something like, you can watch it and you can find this line, where it's like, he is not the demigod that his father is viewed to be, or whatever.
The best criticism is that he is but a normal man.
Sure, I guess.
ian crossland
All of the talk of loyalty and political loyalty and stuff, I'm like, I don't understand, I guess, the perspective of the people that appreciate monarchy or that want it.
I'm like, yo, yo, in England, down with the monarchy.
Let's start a democratic republic in England.
Let's do it.
Now's the time.
phil labonte
Let's do it in Thailand.
The monarchy in England, they don't actually have any...
ian crossland
Significant legislative power and they're a net benefit to the economy, but the king I disagree the king can disband Parliament Yeah, the and the king approves the royal family approves the prime minister.
tim pool
I think I think it would be naive to assume that when the, what was it, the Civil War in the UK, I'm not big on UK-sure, but the Civil War, and then they're like, okay, okay, okay, we gotta split power and create the House of Commons and let people have some say in this.
All that was was the king being like, how do we prevent a revolution where we get our heads chopped off?
Let's tell them whatever they want to hear, we actually will still control the reins of power.
And everyone's got to pay the royal family.
The royal family is super wealthy, super rich.
I firmly believe, behind the scenes, the king, the queen, the royal family can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and control everything.
It's like saying the Clintons have no real power.
The Clintons to this day are still orchestrating things behind the scenes and putting massive pressure.
So I'll put it this way.
To the people who are like, the monarchy has no real power.
It's like, do you think Obama has power right now?
He was an elected guy.
Now he's not in office.
No, everyone still thinks he's pulling the strings.
So come on, the royal family's pulling strings.
ian crossland
Some people say the Obamas are the most protected Americans on Earth.
Like, they're the ones.
The power family on Earth is the Obamas.
phil labonte
Perhaps, perhaps.
tim pool
Let's advance the story and jump to this one.
This is from the Daily Mail.
This blew my mind.
My friends, Donald Trump's lawyer.
Requested the court case between Trump and E. Jean Carroll be adjourned temporarily so that Trump could go to the funeral of Melania's mother.
And the judge said no.
This has to be one of the most vile and disgusting things I have seen in a long time.
If you want to know how depraved and evil these people are, the idea that the judge would say to Trump, you can choose to be in court, which is your right, or go to the funeral of your wife's mother.
You pick.
Absolutely disgusting.
And he said, no, there will be denied.
And he even yelled at Trump's lawyer.
Check this out.
The ex-president's attorney's plea was denied by Judge Lewis Kaplan in the tense exchange before the columnist took the stand to testify in the $10 million defamation case.
Abba fired back, initially refusing to sit down.
Basically, what happens is she asks for basically an adjournment just for the day so we can go to the funeral.
She told the court Trump had an unexpected death in our family, which only the Lord can control.
Haba said it was insanely prejudicial for Trump to have to choose between the funeral and attending court.
She said, quote, I'm asking your honor to have the kindness my client deserves to be with his family tomorrow.
Judge Kaplan shot back.
Indeed, the right that he has, according to the Supreme Court of the United States, is the right to be present either in person or by counsel, and nobody is stopping him from doing either.
The application is denied.
I will hear no further argument on it.
Habba protested, saying, Your Honor.
But the judge responded, I said sit down.
Habba did not sit down.
It said Habba before, but Habba.
Judge Kaplan asked her what else she wanted to ask.
She said, look at these typos all over the place.
She said, quote, I don't like to be spoken to in that way, Your Honor.
I am asking Your Honor to please refrain from speaking to me in that way.
It's denied.
Sit down.
This is... I'll say it again.
Kaplan is an evil man.
He is a disgusting slimebag.
These people are evil.
There's no question in my mind.
I look at this kind of stuff.
We see it every day.
It's one thing when you are fighting for political power and you think you're right and you're an authoritarian.
We can have our political arguments, political battles, and these things have happened throughout history.
But when you see a judge with a smile on his face say you will not have the opportunity to go to the funeral for a dead family member, these people are emotionless, vile scumbags.
They say all these things about Trump.
There's a meme right now.
I forgot who tweeted it, so I apologize for not giving credit.
But they say they've arrested Trump supporters, they have put them in solitary confinement, effectively torturing them, they have brought the former president up on numerous criminal charges, falsely accused him of things he's never done 30 years ago, are trying to strip him of his assets in New York, have dissolved his corporations, all while screaming, you're fascists.
These people are like, Trump must be stopped.
He's a fascist who will do so many horrible things to this country.
This woman, E. Jean Carroll, I mean, the transcript of the court case is absolutely insane.
There was one moment where Trump's lawyer called for a mistrial because E. Jean Carroll admitted to deleting evidence and the judge said, shut up, I don't care.
I'm paraphrasing.
I will pull up the verbatim quote, but I'm sorry, I can put all that stuff aside, okay?
If the judge is biased, And saying, yes, we know she deleted emails and texts or whatever, but I'm not going to grant you a mistrial because he's biased.
Fine.
He's a jerk.
This denial is just like taking a dump on the floor of what it means to be a human.
phil labonte
It's taking a dump on the whole justice system.
The whole idea of our government system.
The whole using government to prosecute or persecute your political enemies, opponents, is how it's supposed to be.
tim pool
I understand this.
I understand someone being like, I want power!
And then trying to throw someone in prison.
There is no winning argument here other than the judge wants you to know that if you are in line with Trump, they will do the most inhumane things.
This is just the beginning.
Okay?
phil labonte
Malice is right.
They'll kill your kids and smile about it and think they're doing the right thing.
They look at currently the people that are in charge in the government, the people that kind of set the tone for what is and is not politically correct, they Hate the people that are outside of their political group they and they really want to do bad things They want to use the government to oppress them and there's not two ways about it You look at what the way they're treating the j6 people, you know The people that didn't actually get into fights or whatever.
They've got hundreds of people they arrested and stuff There's not any debate about it.
The real scary thing isn't what they're doing.
It's the fact that other Americans are just allowing it Yeah, it's ruthless.
ian crossland
This behavior is ruthless, and I don't normally see that coming from the judicial system.
I didn't think I was gonna see that coming from the judicial system in the United States.
You wanna, you know, you gotta have, you gotta have, like, forgiveness, or, like, at least, like, what's the opposite of ruthlessness?
Compassion?
Like, you're supposed to mix compassion with law, at least.
tim pool
At least feign it!
I am an impartial judge.
ian crossland
But like, ruthlessness will...
tim pool
You should go to the funeral of your family, because I'm a good guy.
No, he's just like, I'm evil.
ian crossland
There's definitely a time and a place to be ruthless, but that overdoing it will make
people hate you, and it'll cause a lot of animosities.
tim pool
So, you don't care.
When people like Kaplan, I'm not saying him personally, but people like him go and say,
like, kill a dog for fun, and then smile about it, and want people to watch.
They're psychotic individuals.
I mean it in the literal sense.
This man is a sociopath who wants everyone to know that he revels in causing human misery.
breanna morello
Yeah.
There's also no consequences to any of this, right?
Like, he could do whatever he wants.
There's really no penalties for him on this front.
And it's so interesting because E. Jean Carroll's accusations were really only brought forward because New York manipulated their law and created, like, this exemption for any woman to come forward—or male, too—to come forward and make sexual assault accusations.
tim pool
It was like a one-year amnesty where any sexual assault that was beyond the statute of limitations, they would get one year to bring those charges up.
And then after that, it's too late.
breanna morello
It's literally for this.
phil labonte
It was specifically for this.
tim pool
Well, I think any sane person can realize they did it specifically for this.
But their argument is like, because of the Me Too era, we're gonna do this.
Then she comes out.
I think, I think it's, in my opinion, any reasonable person who hears what she says will conclude that she is a crackpot whack job.
breanna morello
Yeah.
tim pool
Who, uh, she even says, according to some reports, when she realized her book wasn't selling, she used the opportunity in the story to try and push the book on various shows.
phil labonte
She's the one that said that, like, women like to be raped or something like that.
tim pool
It's not that women said people think rape is sexy.
Think about the fantasies.
Yeah, that was like, let's go to a commercial.
breanna morello
Anderson was like, yeah, go to commercial break.
They never do that for anyone, by the way.
They just want to keep her credibility going.
It's like, cut it to commercial.
tim pool
Let's not forget the court case where she accused Trump.
had a juror who had watched an episode of TimCast IRL and that was the basis for an attempted dismissal.
I don't believe he was dismissed, it's been a long time.
But that was big news.
Like, for some reason, everyone wrote about it.
It was like, juror in Trump trial is fan of TimCast IRL or something.
And I think he said he saw an episode or two and I'm like, well, that's it.
phil labonte
Shame on him.
ian crossland
That's not a big fan.
A couple episodes, jeez.
He's watched like 30 or 40 of them.
breanna morello
Yeah, but New York City's actually trying to extend the statute of limitation now, so now they're trying to give, like, a two-year exemption for women to go file these complaints.
And it's crazy because it's backing up the civil court system now in New York, and no one's stepping in saying, hey, this is a little crazy, guys.
Anyone can make an accusation from 30 years ago, and without any evidence, come forward, and we just have to believe it.
Ultimately, though, also, they refer to Carole as a journalist in a lot of these articles.
I think it's so comical, because People like me for an example were conspiracy theorists but this woman who said at one point that rape is sexy and who literally her whole Twitter page at one point was dedicated to bashing Trump as a journalist now all of a sudden.
It's kind of weird.
tim pool
What is she?
breanna morello
I think she was an actress at one point.
tim pool
Juror who listened to conservative podcaster Tim Pool, here's the AP,
Juror who listened to conservative podcaster Tim Pool joined verdict against Donald Trump.
They tried to get him out, remove him, and he just went along with it.
So, yeah, I'm sorry, like, I don't know what, you know what the craziest thing to me is?
When these sexual assault claims pop up 30 years later and people get convicted on it.
I'm like, what evidence do they have?
There's DNA evidence by all means, but evidence of sex is not evidence of rape.
breanna morello
Yeah, you're seeing P Diddy, he's being smacked around with all these lawsuits now.
And ultimately, I'm okay with sexual assault, like lawsuits coming about if there was a criminal case that came first, and they were found guilty in the courtroom.
But now we're just, we're fast forwarding going straight to civil.
And unfortunately, it's because he actually, P Diddy actually filed, well, settled his lawsuit with Cassie, his ex-girlfriend so quickly.
That three more, I think it's three more accusations popped up right after that.
And so now he's got to battle these three accusations.
And there's really, I mean, there's very little evidence that you could bring forward to even prove your innocence.
You're ultimately guilty.
I think he didn't show up to for the Emmys or something he was invited to just because of all these accusations.
So unfortunately, all these people are going to be found guilty in the public eye, even though they haven't had a criminal trial.
ian crossland
The idea of proving yourself innocent is counterintuitive.
You're supposed to have to prove the other person guilty.
They are innocent.
breanna morello
Yeah, yeah.
Isn't it disgusting?
But this is the world we're turning into and everyone's okay with this.
Actually, it actually bit one New York Democrat in the butt.
Chris Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo, sorry.
Andrew Cuomo actually got a lawsuit filed against him for sexual harassment.
tim pool
Well, he admitted to doing it.
breanna morello
Oh, did he?
tim pool
He made a video showing all the times he grabbed people and kissed them and says, because I'm Italian.
And I'm like, so you admit to kissing people who did not want to be kissed?
Okay, sir.
That was like when he got me too'd.
breanna morello
Yeah.
tim pool
He was like, I'm Italian, I kiss everybody, here's a video of me doing it over and over and over again, and we're like... Shoot yourself in the foot.
That's just admitting you're doing it.
unidentified
Yeah.
ian crossland
Is it because it's a civil course?
You don't have to provide guilt?
You don't have to prove guilt?
tim pool
Yes, it's liability, not guilt.
ian crossland
And what is liability technically?
tim pool
So Trump was never found to have sexually assaulted this woman, though that's what everyone is saying.
He is found to be liable for a sexual assault.
ian crossland
What does that mean?
tim pool
It means he has, like, liability.
A debt.
Something you owe.
ian crossland
For something that may or may not have happened?
breanna morello
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I think any sane person who heard the story told by E. Jean Carroll would conclude that she is a crackpot who made it up.
ian crossland
It's, uh, she accused Les Moonves and Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s.
That's what this is.
I don't know who this Les Moonves guy is.
tim pool
I don't know that she even accused him of sexual assault, did she?
ian crossland
That's what Wikipedia says.
tim pool
I thought she said that she brought him up, like they went to the Burgdorf or whatever.
I don't know whatever the place is called.
ian crossland
Hotel?
tim pool
And they went upstairs, and the story's really remarkable because it's like Trump owns the hotel across the street, he's the most famous guy in New York, he comes in here, nobody stops him, nobody recognizes him, there were no people in the building for some reason, the changing rooms that were normally locked for some reason were open, we don't know why, and that's where it took place.
You know what else is really crazy about this?
Like seriously, it's, what are we talking about, 30 years later.
And they're like, yeah, Trump's liable for this.
Trump denies it outright.
What evidence do you have any of this ever happened?
None.
Think about how crazy it would be if some guy just dressed up like Donald Trump, did this, and then 30 years later, like, it was Trump, and like, what are you supposed to say?
No, it was the imposter?
Well, like, how does this, you know what, you know what, it's, okay, maybe this lady's telling the truth.
But it wasn't Trump.
It was just some other tall guy she thought was Trump because she's a crackpot.
phil labonte
If it was anyone else, I don't think this would even... I don't think you would have been found to be liable.
It's all because it's Trump.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I think it's fairly obvious.
They are just doing everything they can.
Actually, let me do this.
I want to show you why they do this and I'll break it down for you with a tweet.
It's really remarkable.
Let me see if I can pull this one up.
Let me scroll down a little bit.
And, uh, it's from earlier in the day.
And, uh, here we go.
Take a look at this tweet from NBC News.
You see how they wrote that?
E. Jean Carroll will testify in the second damages trial against former President Trump,
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
who was found to have sexually abused and defamed her last year.
You see how they wrote that?
The implication, of course, being that last year Donald Trump sexually assaulted a woman.
Read it.
You see how NBC News wrote it, right?
Was found to have sexually abused and defamed her last year.
ian crossland
Yeah, it should say who was, comma, last year, comma, found to have something.
tim pool
Abused her.
And if you actually want to write real news, you would say, Writer E. Jean Carroll will testify in the second damages trial against former President Trump, who was found in a trial last year to have sexually abused her in the 1990s.
ian crossland
NBC, man, that's gruesome.
tim pool
NBC, that's not surprising.
They are the most evil propaganda smear merchants that we have.
Their whole disinformation news team, where even FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver, a bunch of other journalists, and J-School professors constantly call out the NBC news team because they actually fabricate things and win awards for doing it.
And then people are like, this is remarkable.
They're just outright lying all the time.
phil labonte
Clarity and accuracy are supposed to be things that they go for.
That's supposed to be the point of journalism and news is so that way they can make things understandable for the average person and they do nothing of the sort anymore.
tim pool
Let me show you this story from Post Millennial.
Trump dares judge in E. Jean Carroll defamation case to kick him out of court.
He actually did.
So the judge says, Mr. Trump, I hope I don't have to consider excluding you from the trial.
I understand you are probably very eager for me to do that.
Trump said, I would love it.
I would love it.
Waving his hands.
I can imagine he's going like this with his hands.
I know you would because you just can't control yourself in this circumstance.
Trump says, you can't either.
The threat came after Carroll's attorney, Sean Crowley, had raised issue with Trump speaking loudly, potentially loud enough to be heard by the jury.
The court is not allowing Trump to provide evidence that she is likely lying.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So like with Alex Jones, this is what they do.
They create a fake reason why this is said and done.
You get no chance to defend yourself.
And the trial you're actually allowed to argue is how much money do you owe?
So with Alex Jones, They said he defamed these families.
Jones' legal team said, Alex never actually called them out by name.
He was vaguely referring to people in these cases.
And what happens is the court said, turn over these documents.
They do.
The court says, okay, turn over the documents.
And Alex goes, I did.
They said, no, you didn't.
Well, here are the documents again.
Then the court says, if you don't turn over those documents, we're going to hold you in default.
And so Alex's legal team goes, here are the documents!
Here's all of them!
Here's everything!
And they go, well, you didn't give us the documents.
Default judgment.
Bang.
That's what happened to Alex Jones.
So when they actually went to trial, the trial we saw was to determine the amount Alex would owe.
You didn't know that, Phil?
phil labonte
No, I didn't know.
tim pool
Jones never had a trial as to whether or not he defamed the family.
phil labonte
I didn't know that he gave them the paperwork three times and they just said no.
Probably more than that.
tim pool
They kept saying, you're excluding documents, you're not giving us what we asked for.
And Alex kept saying, I've given you everything, I have nothing else to give.
And they said, summary judgment for the plaintiffs, Alex Jones, the next court case we're going to have is how much money you owe.
So every time we watched a video clip of Alex arguing, he would say something like, I didn't do that!
phil labonte
Stop!
tim pool
You've already been found liable.
You cannot deny the accusation.
Now, as to what we were saying, this is the game they're playing.
You take a look at what they're doing in the fraud case for Donald Trump in New York City.
The goal here is to strip him of all of his assets.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
They dissolved his company.
They ruled that it's done.
Summary judgment, Trump committed fraud.
Over.
No defense.
Donald Trump will not get a chance to defend himself and prove his innocence.
No matter what anyone says from this point, the court has already determined that Trump has committed fraud.
Now, The court case we're going to have is, did he forge business documents, and how much does he owe, and what will the damages be?
So then, when Trump brings in financial institution experts and things like that who say, not only did we make a lot of money, and not only did Donald Trump do this, literally everyone does it, and everyone is happy with it, they go, that's fine, it doesn't matter.
We've already determined that he is liable for this, he's guilty.
So your testimony is meaningless, because we are not here to determine the guilt of Donald Trump.
We've already determined that.
That's what they're doing here.
So Trump telling the judge, speaking out and yelling against him, I mean...
We are already at this point.
I was talking to a lawyer two years ago, maybe, about filing a lawsuit.
And what they said was, okay, what state are you filing in?
You file it in Maryland, you'll lose.
Democrat judges are gonna laugh at your face.
I said, West Virginia.
And they go, oh, okay, yeah, West Virginia, you'll win.
Because conservative judges will agree with you.
And I was like, that's really it, isn't it?
Like, oh, venues, everything.
It used to be, it always mattered.
So you'd figure out what's the best venue for the lawsuit, where you have to have standing,
they have to have the right jurisdiction, and then you want to find a place where you're
likely to get a good judge who will agree with your arguments.
Nowadays, it's Civil War, baby.
I'm saying that figuratively, but it's basically like, if you are trying to sue a Democrat
in a Democrat state, you're going to lose.
Just no question.
You walk in, and you're gonna be like, I have video evidence of this guy smashing my car with a sledgehammer, screaming, I am doing this for no reason, and I will never pay you back for it.
And the judge will go, interesting.
And you'll say, the guy who did it is wearing a Biden shirt, and I'm wearing a Trump hat.
He's gonna be like, you know, I just think that there's more to the story, so I'm gonna dismiss the case.
That's basically the way the game is played now.
ian crossland
So don't bring up politics?
tim pool
I don't think there's anything you can do about it.
phil labonte
Yeah, because as soon as if you get picked up for anything, the DA is going to start looking through your history.
tim pool
Well, that's criminal.
Yes.
But and so what happens there is like in D.C.
with J6ers, good luck facing down a D.C.
far left jury.
You could prove definitively.
I mean, come on.
Jack Posoba gets punched by an Antifa guy, police witness it, and then the Antifa people go, I didn't see anything, nothing happened.
You will have a jury of your peers in DC, and they're all liberals, and there can be a video of you proving your innocence, and then they're gonna be like, but he's a Trump supporter, and they're gonna be like, he's guilty, lock him up, we don't care.
breanna morello
The prosecutors don't even file charges in those incidents.
I mean, even over this weekend when we saw in front of the White House, I mean, protesters, the pro-Palestine protesters, were literally threatening to break into the White House and shaking the fence to get in, and Secret Service is on the other side pushing it back.
tim pool
Insurrection.
breanna morello
Zero.
Yeah, zero.
BorderHawk reported, too, that there was an individual who pulled a knife, and that person, zero.
Still, no arrest.
No arrest.
And the DOJ didn't respond when I reached out.
They don't care.
It's just different venues.
They just don't care.
phil labonte
If you have the right politics, you can get away with almost anything.
tim pool
And Republicans are just so weak.
I'm sorry, dude.
This is why they say far-right and extremists, because Republicans are basically like the Democrats' gimps, and the Democrats are dragging them by the collar.
I'll give you an example.
Simple question, and I know Phil knows the answer to this.
Phil, does the Second Amendment protect the right of children to keep and bear arms?
He is nodding yes.
phil labonte
Well, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I thought you were asking for that.
Yes, yes, of course it does.
tim pool
The answer is yes.
Children have always had guns, and the issue now is not whether or not they keep and bear arms, but parental supervision.
This is what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse.
The law said that as a minor, he was allowed to keep and bear certain guns, certain other guns are regulated.
The issue of regulation that's been found in the Supreme Court is that regulating which weapons you can carry is not an infringement on your constitutional rights.
Meaning, children do have the right to keep and bear arms.
However, the Supreme Court recognizes restrictions on how and when they can keep and bear arms.
The next question.
Do private individuals... I should say this.
Does the Second Amendment guarantee the right of the private individual in the United States to keep and bear nuclear weapons?
The answer is yes, because who do you think makes them?
It is large private corporations that manufacture all of these missiles and warships and drones.
The drones carrying the Hellfire missiles, they're not made by the government.
They're made by private corporations who own them and sell them to the government.
Second Amendment protects all of that.
So when people are like, the Second Amendment never protected your right to hold cannons, what are you talking about?
Boeing's got Hellfire missiles!
Is it Boeing that makes the Reaper drone?
Who makes the Reaper drone?
Lockheed?
phil labonte
I don't know.
Lockheed Martin.
tim pool
Is it Lockheed?
All I know it's like, dude...
It's the military-industrial complex producing all these weapons.
And under corporate law, they are private citizens.
They are private persons for the purpose of ownership.
ian crossland
General Atomics that builds the... General Atomics?
MQ-9 Reaper.
phil labonte
There's a lot of times where the military will go to a company and be like, look, this is a goal that we have or a machine that we want you to build.
But also there's a lot of times where, like, the private sector will build something.
unidentified
Yeah.
phil labonte
And present it to the D.O.D.
and be like, check out this gadget that we came up with!
And the D.O.D.' 's like, check out these dollars we just printed here!
Take them!
tim pool
The point here is that I can talk to even the most ardent of Republican Congress people, and they will say, no, I don't think people should have the right to keep and bear nuclear weapons.
And I'm like, okay, so we can start by shutting down the capability of any private corporation for building a nuke?
Only under strict government control can weapons be manufactured?
Look, obviously nuke is extreme, and the way you go about it, anyone who, whenever we have someone who's like a gun manufacturer, gun shop owner, FFL, they're like, yeah, there's a form you can fill out for when you're making a weapon, if it's a nuclear weapon or not, because corporations do this.
So, okay, the idea there would be, if the Second Amendment only protects the keeping and bearing of arms, like small guns and stuff, we gotta shut down Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, et cetera, all of them just shut down overnight, or nationalize them.
That means all your precious stock is gone and worthless.
Should we nationalize?
Well, I guess they'll buy you out.
But do we want to nationalize these military industrial complex companies?
phil labonte
No, we don't.
tim pool
Yeah.
So, unless any of these individuals in Congress think we should, then they absolutely agree that the Second Amendment protects those rights.
My point is this.
Republicans are Democrats' gimps.
They're on leashes, being dragged around, and it's fascinating when we have even Freedom Caucus individuals come in on this show and they don't know these things.
And I'm like, if you're taking the approach that the Second Amendment doesn't protect nuclear weapons, you are basically in the middle.
You are a moderate leftist in terms of constitutionalism.
And there are a lot of people who are like, I'm right-wing on the Second Amendment, and I'm like, no you're not.
And, uh, we had someone on the show who was like, I will not be out Second Amendment-ed by Tim Pool or whatever.
It was really funny.
I can't remember who it was.
Maybe you guys listening do.
But this is my point.
When it comes to what we know they are doing with the, like, the insurrection in front of the White House that just happened this past weekend, trying to rip down the barricades, pulling a knife, or even the 529 insurrection, my point and why I bring this up is that Republicans right now could launch an investigation committee into the insurrection at the White House today and say, what is going on with this?
And they have the perfect backdrop.
Pro Hamas protesters.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Now, of course, you could make the argument they're not really.
My point is this.
The J6 protesters weren't insurrectionists, but they say they are.
Why aren't Republicans coming out right now, passing all these resolutions, putting together committees saying we must investigate the pro-Hamas cells of far-left extremists that have just attacked the White House?
Because they're weak.
And they will be weak and even the ones that you think are good are still middle of the road.
ian crossland
It's a lot of the Republican Party as a holdover from when the Republicans were the war machine military industrial complex arm with George Bush Jr.
era and then Obama came in and they all kind of went over to that Democratic Party.
So that's I think that's why a lot of the older people are still like beholden to the military complex.
I mean the country is like A militocracy.
It's just like an arms dealer.
This country is like, we export military equipment and dollars backed by our military.
And what else?
Wheat, sugar, flour, and oil?
That's about it?
phil labonte
No, I mean we export a whole lot more stuff than just that.
Corn?
We export a lot more than that.
Culture?
Yeah, we don't export as much as we used to, but we definitely export way more than just like a handful of things.
tim pool
I want to jump to the story.
We do not have all bad news, we have good news here.
From the post-millennial, Maine's Superior Court orders Trump back on the ballot pending SCOTUS ruling.
So this is good news.
Trump has been allowed back on the ballot in Maine, thanks to the state's Superior Court.
On Wednesday, the court issued a stay of Maine Secretary of State Shanna Bellows' move to prevent Trump from being a candidate, arguing that no decision should be made until the Supreme Court of the U.S.
has handed down its ruling.
According to Fox News, in addition to staying Bellows' ruling, the court denied Trump's motion to supplement the record and stay proceedings.
So the matter has remanded to Bellows for further proceedings as necessary in light of the U.S.
Supreme Court's forthcoming decision in Trump v. Anderson, the case against the former president
in Colorado that also seeks to keep him off the ballot there. I think the big risk right now
and the reason why they're doing it right now, Trump may win all of these,
but how much do you want to bet come Super Tuesday, many states, California for instance, take him off the
ballot?
And they make the argument, this is not the general election, no one's interfering in the general election.
But Trump is off the ballot and Nikki Haley wins.
ian crossland
If that happened, there might be the first time we ever see a write-in candidate win.
tim pool
Some, uh... I gotta look more into this, but I'm hearing that, like, Virginia's trying to get away with the... They're trying to pass a bill that makes it so you can't write in a name.
I gotta look into that one.
I gotta verify that one.
breanna morello
Yeah, well, I think they're trying to print the ballots before the Supreme Court ruling comes down, because I think they want to just say, oh, we can't do it now, we can't go back now, and that's going to be the big issue.
tim pool
It's too late.
It's 90 days.
And so, you know, look, we made the ballots.
phil labonte
You know, fortify that crap out of the election already.
tim pool
We already know they're doing it.
They wrote the NBC News article saying that they're planning to stop Trump again.
phil labonte
They are absolutely trying to do everything they can to fix the election.
This is not going to be a free and fair election.
They will do anything at all to fix the election.
unidentified
To defend democracy.
And everybody that believes them, you are so dumb.
breanna morello
Yeah, it's like a red flag when someone says that.
phil labonte
It's so bad it is it really is and it's it's it's painful to watch you know people that you your friends with you that like you you used to respect or whatever and they're just like yeah man this you know he's after our democracy and it's like oh so you're gonna take him just take him off the uh off the the ballot yeah that's how you save democracy okay all right the one i get is when they're like Trump's a fascist!
ian crossland
And I'm like, bro, this whole country's fascist.
Let's just get that out of the way, man.
We got the Federal Reserve in our back.
tim pool
Well, that's, that's, it's worse than, the Federal Reserve is worse than fascism.
It's something different.
Like, at least with fascism, they're standing in front of you telling you they're doing it.
They're doing it, you know what I mean?
The Federal Reserve is basically like, behind the scenes, no one pays attention, and it's shadow regulating, controlling how you can live your life.
ian crossland
Yeah, it's beyond corporate.
tim pool
Yeah, fascism's too specific, right?
The reference to, we need new words for these things.
ian crossland
I think technocratic, but claiming that the Federal Reserve is technocratic doesn't quite make sense.
When they go digital, if they go digital, when they go digital, that central bank digital currency, I hope that that gets shut down, but that's about as technocratic as I've ever seen.
Something like that would be like, ooh, this is a technocracy trying to take hold.
But we need to maintain our republic.
tim pool
Yeah, that's the thing.
It's really funny because in the statements that come from, what was I reading?
I was reading a statement from some Republican.
They said, our republic.
And when you read a statement from a Democrat, they say our democracy.
phil labonte
All the time.
tim pool
And I was thinking about it because I did a segment today and I kind of, I don't think it was articulate enough in what I was trying to explain, but I was thinking about a better way to explain it.
It's really simple.
A republic is when a guy from your state argues to neighboring states and to the federal government Your view, your region's view on how your laws should be, how the greater laws should affect your state or your city or whatever, and that the federal government has limited control or access to what happens in your state.
A democracy would be everyone in New York voting on what Wyoming gets to do with their water.
So in a direct democracy, the system they want, Chicago will vote, the people of Wyoming must leave.
In a republic, the people of Wyoming laugh, you know, cock their guns and say, try it. That was
basically, you know, democracy versus liberty as stated by Benjamin Franklin. So what we're seeing right
now with Democrats is they do this.
They try to, they make the argument that at the national level, they should be able to vote away
the rights of the states.
And the Republicans, and I mean that in the literal sense, not the Republican Party, make the argument, the states decide what happens within the states.
I see, moving forward, it is obvious the Democrats want to do away with the Republican, with a Republicanist system.
ian crossland
It's funny because just because calling that party Republican doesn't mean that they value the Republic, and calling that party the Democratic Party doesn't mean that they have democratic values at all.
Those parties could be called the Red Party and the Blue Party.
tim pool
You're right about the names, but it is funny how the Democratic Party wants democracy and the Republican Party wants republicans.
ian crossland
Yeah, it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
They like to play these cult games, these people that have so much money, trillionaires and stuff, that they're so into the occult.
I wonder if they're doing this out of joy.
They're like, yeah, let's use the Democratic Party for direct democracy and then control with mob mentality.
tim pool
Direct democracy would be the most brutal and awful system.
ian crossland
Especially with social media, with Google being able to twist the human mind and get 600 million people to click a button one day?
Like, the amount of mob force?
tim pool
We gotta do this.
We should do this really soon.
The idea I had for Democratic What's for Dinner?
The idea being, there's a list of ingredients, everyone chooses their favorite ingredients, and then democracy is everyone gets to vote on what's for dinner.
So you vote, like, I like, you know, spinach, and I like mint, and someone says, I like red peppers, and someone says, I like bacon.
And then, whatever the democratic rule is, we say, okay, we're gonna throw all of the things that won, get thrown in the pot, and it's gonna be the most disgusting meal you've ever had.
phil labonte
Yeah, because someone says, like, you know, I like cotton candy.
tim pool
Yeah, so it's like, okay, first you decide what's for dinner.
Lasagna.
Pizza.
Sandwiches.
Everyone then votes.
The winner is... Sandwiches.
The next thing that comes up is, what's your favorite, you know, vegetable?
And so you'll end up eating, like, raw broccoli sandwiches with chocolate sauce.
Well, that's it.
Everyone voted they liked chocolate sauce.
Everyone voted they liked broccoli.
We made dinner using what everyone voted on.
The point here is, I'm not gonna go to a chef and vote on what he should use to bake, to make me a nice steak.
I'm gonna say, I elect Representative Chef Gordon Ramsay to oversee the production of my steak.
I believe he's the right guy for the job, you take care of it.
Direct democracy would be like, the kitchen announcing all the ingredients and then asking you to vote on how it should be done.
And then a bunch of people have no idea.
The example I gave before is that, if you asked people, To vote on making cookies, I guarantee you, or I'd be willing to bet, the majority of people would vote no salt in my cookies.
Because they don't understand, and they assume, oh salt?
You put sugar in cookies, you don't put salt in cookies, but you do put salt in cookies, you put a little bit.
And so the average person not knowing any of this would be like, no, no salt in cookies, are you nuts?
And they'd vote against it.
And then you'd get awful cookies.
That's democracy.
phil labonte
And there's this constant psyop too, going to get people to think that democracy is the be all end all.
There's no guarantee that democracy is going to produce positive results.
I think the only guarantee is that you're going to have a majority of people that have, you know, that say they want this and that's what it's going to be.
But that doesn't mean that the majority of people know what a good outcome is to achieve whatever end they're looking for.
ian crossland
Yeah, evidence would show that a direct democracy is very bad for the minority.
tim pool
It's bad for the majority.
Direct democracy does not mean the majority rules.
Because direct democracy does not mean we vote one time and we're done.
What kind of system do you want?
Here's a big list of all the things we're going to do.
We vote on it and we're done.
Utopia.
The majority live in the system they wanted.
No, no, that's my point about making dinner.
We're going to make grilled cheeses.
What do we put on it?
You're going to get chocolate sauce, asparagus, mushroom grilled cheese with vegan cheese.
It's going to be the weirdest thing ever because in democracy, you're always voting on something else coming up and not everyone agrees.
The majority does not agree on everything.
There is no the majority.
There is, on many issues, a majority here.
On an issue, a majority here.
You might say, hey, we found through a direct vote, through a survey, 51% of people out of 100 like pizza.
We then found 51% of people out of 100 like chocolate ice cream.
However, of that 51% of people who like chocolate ice cream, half of them like pizza and half of them like sandwiches.
You get my point?
Not everybody who likes pizza likes the same dessert.
So if you're voting on policy like, how should we deal with carbon emissions, how should we deal with fossil fuel, you will find different groups of people form the majority in every different area.
Which means, when it comes to direct democracy, your system will be ruled by 2% of the population.
The microscopic 2% that wins the majority on a bunch of different issues.
And thus, For dinner, you will have a sub-sandwich with green peppers, raw broccoli, chocolate syrup, mint, and, I don't know, anise extract sprayed all over it.
Just some weird amalgam of various groups that vote on the things they want.
That's democracy.
breanna morello
What's the alternative?
tim pool
A republic, where you say, I am going to elect a representative to actually go out and solve the problem.
So instead of voting on the ingredients that I like, I tell Ian, here's the stuff I'm really into.
I like green peppers.
I like broccoli.
I like chocolate syrup.
And then Ian goes, totally get it.
I'm gonna go to the kitchen and talk to the chef.
He talks to the chef and says, we're not gonna do anything as stupid as put broccoli and chocolate syrup on a sandwich, but my guy for dessert likes chocolate, for dinner he likes green peppers, and the chef says, how about we do a Philly cheesesteak?
That sounds pretty good, right?
And we'll do a side of broccoli salad, cause he likes that.
That's a republic.
Versus direct democracy, which is nonsense and ridiculous.
ian crossland
Yeah, you have the idea in a republic is that you have better men, in quotes.
You know, that's what they used to call them.
Better men that you would send to go make the decisions for you because they understand the things that they're deciding on.
They understand implications and opportunity costs and things like that.
tim pool
But still, we have the problem of snake oil salesmen.
In a debt with democratically elected representatives.
ian crossland
Money getting into politics really screwed things up in a just, maybe almost unconscionable way.
The amount of money that a corporation, that a PAC can give to one guy, like DeSantis, what, 200, how much did he make?
phil labonte
99 million or something?
Well, I mean, right there you're refuting your own argument.
ian crossland
How so?
phil labonte
Because you're saying that money matters, like all the money that DeSantis, like money getting into politics is a bad thing.
Look at all the money that DeSantis got, and DeSantis is losing.
ian crossland
Yeah, but if so that if he had to do it on his own then he'd be speaking his mind He'd be more like into his campaign, but that doesn't mean that he'd be winning No, I disagree.
tim pool
I think... I don't know.
Donald Trump spent so little in his first campaign run.
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, that's my point.
Like Barack Obama, like Hillary Clinton spent like a billion dollars and she lost.
tim pool
One of the biggest mistakes people make is saying, I could do it if only I had money.
phil labonte
Yeah, it's not true.
ian crossland
Because I think the money makes people become subservient to the donors.
phil labonte
It absolutely doesn't.
ian crossland
Well, give me an example of someone that hasn't become subservient to their donor class.
tim pool
Well, Marco Rubio made a really great point.
When someone said, you're taking money from the gun lobby, so they're making you agree with them.
He's like, no, no, no, no.
Because of my views on gun rights, the gun lobby makes donations to me.
It's the other way around.
There are people who will be beholden to their donors, because someone comes up to them and says, look, we can provide your PAC $50 million, but We don't want you going hard on insert issue, and they might say yes.
That does happen.
But typically what happens is the lobbyists will say, who's the best candidate to get through a bill that's going to do this thing for us?
Oh, well, candidate A. They go to him and say, we hear that you're very interested in these issues.
Is that something that works for you?
Yes, it is.
Great.
We're going to support you.
That's typically how it goes.
phil labonte
The amount of money that individual politicians can take from a donor is not really... It's like six grand or something per donor.
Yeah, it's not really a lot of money.
That's why they have PACs.
You can give money to PACs and they can do stuff that the politician would want to do, but they're not technically working together.
tim pool
I just want to stress this point for everybody listening.
Here's some financial advice.
It's not literal.
It's success advice.
We'll call it that.
Money is not your problem.
It will never be your problem.
The people who say things like, I've heard this every step of the way throughout my career.
If only I had the money, then I could do it.
I'm like, that's not true.
Right?
So it's like, You know, we'll use journalism as an example.
I wish I could travel around the world and cover journalism and do these stories.
And it's like, okay, well, you need money to buy a plane ticket.
You don't have the money.
You can't do that, right?
That's not where the job starts.
The job starts with you going to your local areas and building what you can with what you can.
And every day you're adding a grain of sand to the heat.
I didn't start doing this show and traveling.
I didn't start out doing this by traveling the world.
I bought a $20 bus ticket to New York and filmed things on my phone.
Okay, but you need a phone.
Fine, fair point.
You need a certain degree of resources to do things, but it's not cost prohibitive to work a job that pays 15 bucks an hour, save up to get a basic smartphone that can film, and then start filming things around your area, where you live.
Not only that, someone wants to get started doing this kind of work right now?
Holy crap, is it easy.
You're 18 years old, you get a job at Starbucks, you make 15 bucks an hour, save every cent, sleep on the floor, sacrifice, buy a smartphone, take a bus to the southern border, and film every day and post on X for free.
Guess what?
Give it 3, 4, 5 months, you're gonna have 10, 20,000 followers.
Give it a year, you got 100,000 followers.
All of a sudden you're getting calls from every major network saying, can you come on the show and talk about what you're seeing?
Yes I can.
A year goes by, and then you're having conversations with people where you're like, I'm an expert on the southern border.
I've been literally down there for a year, sleeping outside, filming this stuff going on.
And it costs you almost nothing.
ian crossland
I will say, Brianna, you actually walked away from, I imagine, a lucrative contract in your corporate career.
Where were you working before you went independent?
breanna morello
So I worked in sports first thing I was going to jump on that next but I worked in sports and I went over to Fox and then I worked in the media at the corporate media world from there on because I was at Fox I was working as a weekend booking producer for Morita Bar-Roma and Wall Street Journal at large and then I literally when I got to New York City which was very expensive got back to New York City they were like vaccine or you know you're out So, ultimately, yeah.
But you know what's so interesting, too, is I actually started my career by starting a digital sports radio show online.
And literally with no resources, with the bare minimum cheapest microphone and my laptop, I was able to somehow get all these views because I ended up going viral in a couple of interviews.
And then I got my job at MLB.
And so ultimately, you really don't need that much.
The difference is his drive, though.
There were some people in my college who were, like, making up excuses.
They couldn't do this.
They couldn't do that.
But drive is really kind of the difference in all of that.
And most people don't have it, sadly, especially the generation coming up.
They're all full of excuses, but none of them want to actually do the hard work.
We're seeing that now.
ian crossland
I noticed that too, like I pumped out a thousand videos in 2006 and 7 and like 99% of them sucked, but those few that got traction got the eyeballs of people that then took me to the next stage of my life.
breanna morello
Yeah.
ian crossland
Building out social media.

Let's talk about Sean Strickland!
Ladies and gentlemen, Sean Strickland, UFC 297, coming up this Saturday.
It's going to be amazing.
I am not going to miss this fight.
Sean Strickland, as you know, mocked Bud Light when, you know, the whole Dylan Wolf Anything happens.
Bud Light then sponsors UFC.
Sean Strickland comes out and says, I can't wait to reform you.
I'm going to save you, Bud Light.
It's a hilarious video.
And we were all really excited for the moment when Sean Strickland would give a press conference knowing that he's going to sit there in front of all of the press and just go off.
And he did.
It is spectacular.
In fact, he goes a little, a little heavy with it.
So I'd say I don't completely agree with everything he said so far, but yo, this, he's got a couple of clips that are going viral.
We're going to play for you.
And, uh, let's start with the COVID lockdowns one.
Here we go.
Thanks.
unidentified
Sean, Neil Davidson from the Canadian press.
Welcome to Canada.
Oh, congratulations.
The Canadian press, man.
Were you a COVID bank account stealer, too?
Were you on board with that?
No.
Are you left-wing or right-wing?
Were you a Trudeau?
We got one of the fucking commies.
Yes!
Were you non-biased?
serge du preez
I think I lost the question.
unidentified
As long as he thinks he lost it, we fuckin' know.
Maybe I should just pass on this motherfucker.
He's gonna go back and fuckin' give my bank account information to fuckin' Trudeau.
tim pool
Wow, man.
serge du preez
Well, it's probably a good bank account.
tim pool
It probably is a really good bank account.
phil labonte
I love that he just came out and dropped fucking commies.
tim pool
Yes, but the journalist didn't even say anything.
He's just sitting there like, I'm going to call you a commie.
I'm going to call you out.
But now I want to play this clip for you.
This one goes hard.
There are some people on the right even who are like, it's a little too heavy for me.
Because he made some comments about trans people in the past, too.
And they're like, yeah, we agree with calling out Bud Light and all these things.
But my view is like, take the big ask.
Bud Light sponsors UFC, and this is what you get when they do.
I'm gonna play the clip for you.
unidentified
Uh, we've got a pretty supportive gay and lesbian community in this city.
I did want to ask you something you wrote a couple of years ago.
You said, if I had a gay son, I would think I'd- Oh, look, another- another- I'm saying he's a swamp, you guys, a swamp.
You've become a champion.
You've become a star.
Let me ask you something.
Are you gay?
Can I get an answer?
Are you a gay man?
I'm an ally of the community.
Are you gay?
Can I get an answer?
Well, now I'm asking you, this is a part of the question, are you a gay man?
I'm an ally of the community.
Oh gosh.
If you had a son and he was like, you know, you had a son and he was gay, you'd be like,
oh man, you don't want a grandkid?
No problem with it.
Aw, man.
Well, dude, you're a weak fuckin' man, dude.
You're part of the fuckin' problem.
You elected Justin Trudeau.
When he seized the bank accounts, you're just fuckin' pathetic.
And the fact that you have no fuckin' backbone, and as he shut down your fuckin' country and seized bank accounts, you ask me some stupid shit like that?
Go fuck yourself.
tim pool
I'm gonna pause right there.
This is not about, you know, whether you support gay people or not.
He's outright saying, you elect Trudeau, he shuts down bank accounts, and this is the question that I get.
unidentified
Spot on!
I did want to ask also things you said about the trans community.
You said this past October when they announced the Bud Light sponsorship that You'd go so hard on Bud Light in your next fight, they'll have to accept me or denounce me when they know what they stand for.
This guy's like, this Canadian's not that Canadian.
Are you still going to use your fight time to kind of speak on that?
Here's the thing about Bud Light.
Here's the thing about Bud Light.
Ten years ago, to be trans was a what?
A mental fucking illness.
And now all of a sudden, people like you have fucking weaseled your way into the world You are an infection.
Whoa.
You are the definition of weakness.
Everything that is wrong with the world is because of fucking you.
And the best thing is, is the world's not buying it.
The world's not buying your fucking bullshit you're fucking peddling.
The world is not saying, you know what?
You're right.
Fucking chicks have dicks.
The world's not saying that.
The world's saying, no, there are two genders.
I don't want my kids being taught about, you know, who they could fucking school.
I don't want my kids being taught about, you know, their sexual preference.
Like, dude, this guy is a fucking enemy.
You wanna look at the fucking enemy to our world?
It's that motherfucker right there.
tim pool
So, I'd just like to point out, he has basically just made the statement, because he was asked about Bud Light, and he said, Bud Light's gonna have to either accept him or denounce him, and then he called this guy an infection.
Going a little hard, a little hard.
But when it comes to the political issues that he's pointing out, these people who are lying and pretending to be allies or whatever, they don't actually care.
They are literally just weak.
These journalists in the United States and in Canada, these leftists, most of them, I would refer to them as default liberal, they don't actually care about these issues.
In fact, many of them don't like these things that are being pushed by the woke left, but they are so weak, they will march in lockstep with it.
breanna morello
Yeah, it's interesting.
Leaving sports, I still get messages from some of the people I used to work with and some of the athletes, too.
They won't go public and say that they agree with me, but they'll send me a message and they'll agree with me.
So it's unfortunate.
But I mean, this is refreshing.
tim pool
They're weak.
breanna morello
There's a lot of weak people out there, though.
They're all afraid of being canceled.
And unfortunately, there's no end in sight.
But you know, Sean's comments are refreshing.
I don't always agree with all of them.
But this is refreshing that someone's so transparent and so open about it.
The only thing that you'll see in the UFC though, the UFC is really the only sport division that will ever do any of this.
You won't see it in professional sports regarding Major League Baseball or NHL or NFL as we saw today.
So ultimately, it's kind of refreshing to see people being so open about it.
ian crossland
What happened in the NFL today?
breanna morello
Today there's the new head coach of the Patriots and he is I think he's the first black coach for the Patriots and he said during the press conference that he sees that if you don't see color that you are part of the problem and like you are racist is what he's trying to insinuate.
tim pool
He does not like Martin Luther King.
phil labonte
To go from 20 years of do your job to this.
What an embarrassment!
For people that don't know, the New England Patriots, when Bill Belichick and Tom Brady were just destroying the NFL for two decades, the whole point was do your job, do your job, do your job.
It was focused purely on the game and they get this new clown in here and it's been a month that he's been in?
breanna morello
I think today was just the press conference, the welcoming press conference.
ian crossland
You know, Belichick just left.
phil labonte
Yeah, Belichick just left, and this guy's in, and the first thing out of his mouth is, I'm going to screw the Patriots harder.
Like, they're doomed.
They're doomed.
ian crossland
Is the UFC a place where the athletes can speak out because of the way Dana White runs it?
Purely because of...
breanna morello
Yeah, they're okay with this.
There's no penalties for saying this.
Everyone's allowed to have their own opinions, and that's why I think it's refreshing, because you can't do that anywhere else.
They will jump on you.
I think the NHL learned their lesson the hard way, too, when they started doing all these DEI hiring practices, and they've suddenly distanced themselves from it.
I forgot what her role exactly was, but she was a DEI hire.
Hockey is a heavily white sport.
There's not many minorities in it, and she was very critical of that, and she was very like, we need to get more minorities involved in it, but they have no interest in being involved in it, so why force them to do it?
And so we're just seeing it all over the place.
That's why I kind of like the UFC and how they allow their fighters to go out there and speak so openly.
ian crossland
Is it like single-team sport?
Like, I don't know, single-player sports?
Like golf?
Can the golfers get away with saying this kind of thing?
tim pool
They all can.
All professional athletes can.
The issue is, UFC knows that if they tried enforcing morality clauses on these fighters, they'd have no fighters.
You can go to a golfer, and he's gonna be like, I don't wanna fight, I'm just here to play golf.
Yo, Strickland's got cauliflower ear.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
He is not afraid of you.
He doesn't care what you think.
He's gonna say what he wants to say.
Also, there's Bellator.
Because he is not weak.
ian crossland
Like, there's other fighting companies that would pick him up.
And, like, fighting's, it's all on Sean.
Like, what Sean says is on Sean.
In a team sport, what you say reflects on your team.
And I think when you're in a team sport, you're kind of indoctrinated, like, do your part for the team.
Don't question the coach.
Stay in line.
The team is more important than you are.
tim pool
Well, I think that's a component of it But it's it's generally that while athletes are strong people.
It's like what makes you an athlete People who get punched in the face for a living are like the strongest of athletes And if you're a dude like Strickland who gets punched in the face for a living and actually wins when he punches others in the face I think he's undefeated right?
Am I wrong?
phil labonte
I do not know.
breanna morello
I have to fact check that.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
Yeah, pull that up, because I could be wrong about that.
I think he is.
I'm not sure.
I'm not a big UFC guy, but my point is just this.
You're not going to find, on average, tougher people.
And so, if someone comes to them and says, hey, we don't want you to say these things, right?
You've got a morality clause.
These are the most likely guys to be like, oh, you pussy.
Fuck you.
I'm going to say what I want to say.
That's exactly what he's doing.
Like, the things he's saying about Bud Light, I'm surprised, like Bud Light's gotta respond to this!
I think, I think, here's what I think, I know what's gonna happen.
The far left will not touch this.
They will not come out, they will not criticize Strickland, they will not criticize Bud Light because they know they will lose, and that will force Bud Light to issue a statement of support to Strickland and the UFC in some way.
So long as there is no conflict, all the far left can do is sit down and shut up.
breanna morello
Yeah, he's 9-0, so he's undefeated.
I thought it was interesting too this year, MLB, all the teams except the Rangers didn't have an LGBT plus night.
Rangers didn't do it, everyone else did, and ultimately the Rangers won the World Series.
I thank God for rewards though.
tim pool
Okay, no, no, he's lost five fights, two by knockout, two by submission.
The latest numbers.
ian crossland
This says he's 28-5, is that his total career?
tim pool
Yeah, five losses.
ian crossland
But you see 9-0, is that in the UFC or something?
breanna morello
Let's see, Strickland had made his professional debut in 20... Let me click on it, hold on.
The first thing that popped up on Google said, yes, he was.
tim pool
I'm reading Sportskeeda, they say that he's lost five.
unidentified
28-5.
ian crossland
128, lost five.
That's a great record.
tim pool
Look man, I don't care what you do, but I just think it's fairly obvious if you're a fighter, you're quite literally a fighter.
And people who play basketball are probably just like, man, leave me alone.
You know what I mean?
It's very, very different.
A lot of pro skateboarders are coming around though.
This is really exciting.
And I think one of the things that's really important too, and I encourage all these companies to do more of it.
There are, you know, I'll be on Instagram and I'll see a clip from a pro skateboarder and they're wearing a public square shirt.
That's how you solve this.
When public square goes to a pro athlete in action sports and says, we're going to pay you X amount of dollars per month, wear our shirts, put our stickers on your gear.
They say, you got it.
I'm getting paid.
Guess what?
Now they're not scared to speak out because they'd be like, look, I ride for this energy drink company.
And if I say this stuff, they're going to fire me.
Now they're like, yeah, energy drink company might fire me, but I get paid more, more by public square and rumble anyway.
So what do I care?
Yep.
People can have issues.
Like, if, if, if, you never know, right?
You might come out and say something, you know, about, I don't know, I just plain don't like Shepard's Pie.
And then it turns out that the CEO of a company who sponsors you owns a Shepard's Pie, you know, freezer food company and he's like, you're hurting our brand so we're dropping you.
You never know what's gonna offend one of your sponsors.
So if you've got sponsors with a wide range of political backgrounds, you're safe.
And as more and more companies on the right sponsor athletes and just anyone who can be sponsored, the more likely it is they're going to publicly speak up and defend their values.
phil labonte
And there are more people that are coming out and pushing back against Woke.
It is, you know, kind of getting to a point where people are standing up and saying, hey, no, we're not doing this anymore.
It's something that...
It's going to take, it's not something that's going to go away easily because it is, there's a lot of money in it.
First of all, there's a lot of people that are true believers.
The whole woke thing that's gone into like when it comes to LGBT and trans and stuff like that, any parent that helped their child mutilate their body, they are never going to ever let it go.
They're going to be true believers for the rest of their lives because if they go ahead and say, well, maybe I was wrong.
Then they've enabled their child to mutilate their body.
So there's going to be people that are going to push back probably for decades.
But overall, it looks like most the general consensus is this is not something that we want dictating our society, which is, you know, extremely hopeful and my fingers are crossed, but.
ian crossland
Yeah, I think that a lot of the last five years of crazy DEI and child sex changes was like, those kids are adults now.
Chloe Cole is a very vocal adult.
I don't know, she's 19?
Is she 19 now?
breanna morello
19 or 20.
ian crossland
And she had her double mastectomy when she was 15, and now it's like, how horrible that I was led to do this to myself, and she's leading the charge as an adult now.
kind of talking back and we're also seeing the the payout of the parallel economy in action.
We talked about parallel economy two years ago and like we need a parallel economy then public
square appeared then rumble went public and like now we see the value of it is people feel like
they can speak out because they're being sponsored by companies like that. And uh cast brew coffee.
tim pool
That's right. Uh it's preliminary but cast brew coffee not only has an Alex Stein two times
caffeine it's prime time grind uh Alex Stein's prime time grind two times caffeine but uh we're
gonna be sponsoring his show too. I love that. So right we're gonna make sure that the people
we like and and do fun things. The thing about Alex is Is that he does a kind of political comedy.
It's fun.
It's entertaining.
It's silly.
It's levity.
And so, you know, I'm talking to him.
We did the Coffee Blend with him.
And now, you know, we're... I don't know.
I should say it's a little early.
I don't know.
The Blaze is involved because the show's on The Blaze.
But I'm like, yeah, let's roll.
Let's do this.
I want there to be more of people like Alex Stein.
Because, you know, a lot of people will say things like, I'm going to help fight the culture war.
I'll make a podcast.
And I'm like, that's really cool.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Do it if you want to do it.
But we need more than that.
We need...
We need built on companies, you know what I mean?
Like we need companies that make things like sodas.
And then if you make a soda, you sponsor someone.
Public Square, I'm trying to figure out who they sponsor, but I remember seeing like a video, I think it's a BMX guy, I'm not sure, or maybe a skateboarder, but they're wearing a Public Square shirt.
And I'm like, that's it right there.
Because kids are gonna come to those events to watch the guy do the back flip, and he's gonna be wearing Public Square, and they're gonna recognize that.
And I'm hoping within a few years, Public Square is bigger than Amazon.
Pipe dream.
But when you get to that point where you know every business you're shopping at, here's the best part.
We need to get to the point where businesses may not actually have our values and share the values of the nuclear family and the Constitution, but they come out and say, I'm all for it, please buy my product.
Because that's what the woke has and has had for a long time and they're losing.
They had this issue where most businesses don't actually care about wokeness, but will fly the flag because that's what they're supposed to do.
You fly the American flag, that's what you're supposed to do.
And if you don't know or care about the Constitution, fine, but you fly the American flag.
That's the indoctrination we want.
So when conservatives are like, school shouldn't be indoctrinating kids, no, they should be.
They should be indoctrinating them on American constitutional values.
phil labonte
You should raise your children not to hate you and your society.
And we have at least a decade, probably closer to two decades, of graduating classes.
Who went through their entire life in school where they were told that the United States and liberalism is bad and evil and produces only negative effects.
And the idea that that is going to do anything other than destroy your society is ridiculous.
ian crossland
I used to hate the public school indoctrination, swear an oath to a flag of allegiance that I don't even understand, but I'm pledging my soul to this corporation called the United States.
I was like, ugh, I hate it.
But now I'm more like, you're gonna get indoctrinated by something, so may as well be the American flag, and then maybe that'll point you at the Constitution and you'll learn about it.
phil labonte
That's a really, really, really good point.
is going to be some frame to the way that you see society right there's going to be certain there's going to be a certain way that you look at society like you're talking about they are going to be indoctrinated some way and that's really all it is is just How you perceive society and how you were, how the, the, the narrative that you believe your society, you know, that describes your society.
So if you're going to have some kind of narrative that you're going to believe, then you might as well believe one that is pro you and your family and the people in your country, the people that are local to you.
tim pool
I hope everybody watches on Saturday.
I want, you know, it's pay-per-view on Saturday.
I think you can, I'm pretty sure you can go to like any sports bar, they'll be playing the show.
ian crossland
Oh, is it a Strickland fight?
tim pool
Strickland's fight, Saturday, January 20th, Saturday, pay-per-view.
So, we are definitely going to be watching this.
And I hope everyone does.
Because you want to help build a parallel economy?
You want to win a culture war?
You want UFC, and particularly the fight with Strickland, to be a smashing success, make tons of money, and it's going to no matter what.
But let's all sit down, enjoy the show, tweet about it, make it trend, make it go viral, and I hope Strickland wins.
ian crossland
I wonder if Dana White visualizes his deal with Bud Light as like a UFC match.
He's like, I received their incoming force, I grabbed it, and now it's a ground game.
I've got them on the ground with their $100 million in my pocket.
Let's see if they can get out of this one.
And he lets dudes like Sean just light fire.
tim pool
This is my point about declaring victory.
We now mock Bud Light relentlessly.
We need Bud Light.
We should be saying things like, wow, thank you, Bud Light, for sponsoring that message.
They are infections, aren't they?
Right?
Figuratively.
I'm not saying literally say exactly what he said, but make the point that Bud Light funded this, and we're glad they did.
ian crossland
I will criticize a little bit of what Sean did there, because I don't like, this is something, and maybe it's just me, maybe there's room for it, to really be like, this is the enemy of the state.
This guy right here is all of your enemy.
tim pool
He didn't say the state.
ian crossland
No, but he's, like, intimating, like, this person is the enemy of your reality.
It's that guy.
And, like, singling out a human and telling everyone in the room that he's your villain, especially for a person in power, is very... I half agree.
You can get that guy lynched.
So you gotta be careful.
tim pool
I half agree.
I agree in the sense that targeting a single individual But I disagree in that we do need to use mockery of bad and evil people.
That is a powerful tool.
That's why memes are so effective.
That's why political cartoons are so effective.
So, agreed.
Pointing to a single guy saying that's the enemy?
You know, like, come on.
That guy's like a doofy moron, you know.
So I get it.
But calling out the machine and saying, these are the behaviors that lead to death, destruction, pain, harm, suffering, et cetera, is an important thing to do.
And doing it in a way that mocks and belittles them.
ian crossland
And because you want to humiliate that reporter, for sure.
I mean, I think that's what Sean's intent was.
He just did it in a really, like, aggressive, angry, fighter way.
Well, it was more than one.
breanna morello
He'll think twice before he ever asks that question again, though.
I'll tell you that much.
phil labonte
Yeah.
I think that that's a really good point.
And I think that that's what he's intending to do, because really, like, that stuff doesn't have anything to do with UFC.
breanna morello
Nothing.
phil labonte
It's all about, it's all social questions, it's all questions about, you know, culture war stuff.
Right.
So.
tim pool
And that's one of the reasons why this is so great.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
He says, Trudeau freezes people's bank accounts and that's what you're gonna ask me?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And you know what I love?
How about another good line is exactly that.
To say things like, do you want to ask questions about fighting?
Or do you want to ask questions about politics to get clicks on the internet?
Because that's what they're doing.
That's why they do it.
They don't know anything about this guy.
I'm willing to bet these fighters, he's not going to hear the name Strickland ever again.
He's not going to watch the fight.
He's not going to care about the fight.
He's going to leave and be like, oh, I don't know.
I was assigned to go to something.
I have no idea what it was.
ian crossland
I didn't see the entire press conference where dudes asking him about his ground game, where they asking him about his left hook, like do they talk, are they actually talking about his fight too?
tim pool
I hope so.
I'd imagine.
But the reason why this is the highlight is because he tears down these woke corporate journalists and these Canadian authoritarians.
I love how he's just roasting Canada.
phil labonte
Yeah, like I think Brianna has a good point.
People should embarrass these guys for asking these questions.
Like, mock them.
Because you want them to stop.
Because you don't want these kind of identity questions to be, you know, the focus of our whole society.
Like, you're talking to, you know, a UFC fighter.
Why are you asking them about, like, you know, trans stuff and LGBT issues?
It's like, It totally has nothing to do with what he's doing, and we don't need to have that kind of stuff just permeate society.
So just start mocking people that bring it up in every context.
tim pool
I want to jump to this next story.
We have this clip from the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra commercial, and I want to explain to you why this is the apocalypse.
This is Skynet.
It's been a good run.
Humanity, It's over.
unidentified
I can't wait to get one.
tim pool
And I ordered one myself.
Mine's going to be here at the end of the month.
Did you order one?
Mine will be here at the end of the month.
I'm very excited for it.
But what I'm talking about is their AI phone app, which incorporates intrinsic Photoshop capabilities, but also can generate portions of an image that don't exist for artistic value.
Meaning, they showed in one demo When a photo was taken at an angle of a guy, you can rotate it, but then the edges are cut off, and auto-generate the edges using artificial intelligence that will generate what it appears it may be.
This means photos are going to be created.
We're beyond filters.
Okay?
I know Photoshop exists, but Photoshop is a rare thing, and we question when fake photos are made.
On average, if someone takes a picture on their phone, it's a real picture.
With the advent of the S24, and it's not just the S24, the iPhone is doing this too, but we are in this era now.
The phone, the pictures that are stored on people's phones are all going to be fabrications and imitations of reality, meaning we are no longer recording what's really going on.
We are manufacturing fake records of events.
So in this clip, let me play this clip for you so you can see exactly what he's talking about.
unidentified
Photos in your gallery.
Then again, this blue three star button to activate Galaxy AI.
When you're in this mode, here are a few things you can do.
tim pool
Look at that.
He just, and this is great.
I'm buying the phone by the way, right?
He taps the guy who's in it.
unidentified
Okay, he removes the guy outright and what's behind him?
Nothing.
phil labonte
The AI created a fake image.
unidentified
The reason why this is so freaky.
tim pool
Clicks generate, right, it's built in.
unidentified
When you want to remove unwanted people or objects from the background.
As you can see here.
tim pool
Okay, he removes the guy outright and what's behind him?
Nothing.
The AI created a fake image.
The reason why this is so freaky.
This is exactly what I've been warning about as to how AI will destroy things.
The example I've given.
Donald Trump speaking at that press conference after, was it Charlottesville?
phil labonte
Charlottesville.
tim pool
Charlottesville, there you go.
Wow, I can't believe I forgot the name of the city.
And he says, I am not talking about the white nationalists and the neo-Nazis because they should be condemned totally.
The left lied.
Biden lied.
They claimed he said, you know, very fine people, referring to them when he said he wasn't, the full context.
With altering very slightly using deep fake technology, you change Trump from saying they should be condemned totally to some should be condemned totally.
And that alters the context massively and will be impossible to track.
The left will share the video of Trump saying, some should be condemned totally.
And they'll go, wow, he actually thought others there were nice.
He didn't say all of them.
And the right will point out.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
He said they should be referring to all of them.
No, here's our video.
Here's your video.
There will be two videos with only one word changed.
What we're gonna see here now is, how about this?
Donald Trump is at a rally, and he's shaking hands with a guy, and then someone takes a picture of it on their phone and just drags Trump over, shaking hands with a different guy.
And that other guy happens to be a prominent white nationalist Trump doesn't know and was standing in the background.
These are the kinds of things we'll start to see that are shocking and scary.
But I think the bigger picture here is outside of those rare occurrences, is that every photo you see on Instagram, filters are already changing what women and men look like, and it's causing Problems in people's brains.
Young girls are getting crazy plastic surgery.
I read an article today about a guy who got bone lengthening surgery and it's causing him such pain that he can't sleep anymore because he's like, I need to be tall.
You know, it says four inches.
He went from five eight to six feet.
Gosh, right.
And so what's going to happen now is These photos that are going to be posted all over the place are basically fake in their entirety.
So in this video, he removes the guy from the picture and then moves this other guy over.
That never happened.
phil labonte
And you know, another thing is like, there's people already are so...
Like, confirmation bias is such a massive problem that if you just show people pictures that are, you know, doctored and they already want to, you know, hate whoever it may be a picture of that you're, you know, showing them, they're already geared to believe negative things about a person if they don't like them.
So if you show up a picture that's, you know, Post-truth reality, man.
You know, it's gonna be real tough to get people, you know, to navigate.
tim pool
Do you guys remember there was this, uh, this, like, e-girl or whatever, this Asian woman?
And it was, like, a young woman making a bunch of money, and then at one point she moved, and the filter missed, and she turned into an old lady, and then back everyone went, whoa, she's an old lady the whole time, pretending to be, like, an 18-year-old girl to make money.
That's where we're going.
ian crossland
I think that the older generation is going to be more susceptible to it.
People that were raised in the TV picture era that still communicate by sending pictures and they don't use video chat as much.
The young people might be more on guard to this kind of stuff.
tim pool
So, older people still watch CNN, and Fox News, and cable TV.
Because that's the world they grew up in, and they have peers.
When they go to events, they see other people like them, who they will talk to, and they have a shared reality.
What's gonna happen with this is, older people are going, this is the crazy thing, it's gonna create an amalgam reality of a unified social system.
So, man, it's so crazy to break down.
When I worked for Vice, I kept saying things like, why aren't we investing in social media?
I know that Vice is big on social media, but why are they so obsessed with TV and documentary?
It's because Shane Smith, the CEO, was in his mid-40s, and what was big to the Gen Xers was cable TV, and he was only like, the internet is just something that helped us launch.
I was a younger guy, and my whole world was the internet, and I was like, I don't understand why they're doing this old stuff that no one cares about.
It's because when the CEO went to board meetings, and when he went to investors, the only thing they cared about was TV.
So in his world, TV was everything, and the internet was something ancillary.
For me, I didn't know anybody who cared about TV!
Nobody watched it!
Everybody was on the internet.
With this, and social media, and fabricated reality, you're gonna have people who are, and we're already seeing this, they're gonna be, like, this is exactly what's happening right now.
A 40 year old woman, wanting to fit in online with the average age, and trying to be 20.
They're going to filter everything.
That's why you're going to see a 60-year-old woman running filters to appear like she's 20.
ian crossland
I'm seeing like kids in the future, in the next 10-15 years, when they get a picture sent by one of their friends, the first question they'll ask is, what did you doctor with your AI?
When they see the picture, they won't even, they'll know that that's part of it.
Whereas people that are 60 and 70 are from the age of Polaroids, where a picture was what it was.
It was real.
And so they'll be like, they'll just look at it and they won't even question.
tim pool
There's already really funny videos like playing GTA for old people and the old people think it's real because they don't know what these things are.
They're watching a video of a car like Chase and then flip over and the graphics are so amazing and their eyes aren't so good that they're like, oh, oh, and then all the young people are laughing like it's a video game.
breanna morello
Yeah, I wonder how the fact checkers are going to deal with this, you know, because obviously we know some of them are biased, but ultimately when things are being posted online, especially during election years, how do they vet that information?
How do they see if a photo is legit?
phil labonte
This is an opportunity for fact checkers.
unidentified
Yes.
phil labonte
This is an opportunity to shape the facts the way they see fit.
ian crossland
Deep fake recognition software has got to be like, it's the new lock on your door.
Like for your brain, you've got to know if something's been deep faked.
tim pool
We've already tried this with, there's already apps that do deep fake detection, and they've been wrong on a lot of issues, on a lot of images.
The photos coming out of Israel, that people are getting different results.
It was saying it was fake or it wasn't fake, and nobody, everyone's like, this is a really good example.
It was the remains of a baby, and the left were all saying it was fake.
And the right was all saying it's real.
And what would happen is, people on the left would run it through their deep fake detection, it would say it's a fake photo, and they'd go, aha, proof!
And then people on the right would be like, I checked this and it's saying it's a real photo.
So you choose.
Reality is your choice.
The evidence is meaningless.
phil labonte
Yep.
tim pool
And eventually people are just going to start fighting each other because they're going to be like, I don't understand.
I saw the video of Trump kicking that dog and someone else is going to be like, he wasn't kicking the dog.
He was pushing it out of the way of an, of a coming truck.
And so it's going to be like, insert reality.
phil labonte
That's current.
I mean, that currently goes on.
There's the, the people that were, you know, argue about what they saw with, with, um, Oh, Jim Acosta.
Jim Acosta?
tim pool
When, uh, he was- he had the microphone in his hand.
phil labonte
Oh, yeah, to fight over.
tim pool
It was funny to see these pundits be like, the White House aide tried to rip the mic from him.
And my point was like, so what?
Even if she did try to take the mic from him, it's not his mic.
Why was he holding on to it?
But I thought it was fairly obvious that he jerked his hand back from her.
She went to grab it, and then he pulls his hand back like, I think what happened was he was tensing up trying to stop her from taking it.
And when she took it, he pulled his hand back.
unidentified
Yeah.
phil labonte
And people look at the Kyle Rittenhouse footage, all that footage, and they still see different things.
And it's not a surprise.
This isn't anything new.
And yeah, it's only going to get worse and more confusing and more difficult.
tim pool
And the crazy thing is...
With the Rittenhouse case, we already saw the attempted use of AI-generated imagery to convict someone when they zoomed in and said, see, there you can see it.
And then the judge didn't understand.
Zoom isn't a thing.
You can't zoom in.
You can't create pixels.
So the phone manufactures what it thinks will be there.
It is an artificial intelligence generating the image as you zoom in.
It is not real, but people don't know that.
breanna morello
Yeah, Derek Chauvin learned the hard way over the video that went viral.
It looks like his knee is on, you know, George Floyd's neck and then ultimately a different angle makes it appear like it's not exactly on his back.
ian crossland
Like it was on his upper back or something?
breanna morello
Yeah, yeah.
I think it was over more towards the shoulder blade area is what it kind of looks like from a different angle.
But that's politics.
tim pool
I mean, I think that case outright, the video doesn't even matter.
The fact that the guy who was, you know, standing nearby holding an angry crowd back is going to prison.
Like, I think with Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, the reality is actually quite simple.
If you cause problems for the system, we will discard you.
That's it.
That's where we're at.
breanna morello
And they have, sadly.
tim pool
Yeah, but uh, I suppose now, we'll go to Super Chats!
So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us to become a member.
Because this show is made possible in part by viewers like you.
As a member, you help us expand our operation and do crazy things.
And I know, people are already chatting saying, Tim said before that you don't need money to do these things, and that if you need money, like, Do not misconstrue what I am saying.
What I'm saying is, you can get started on your own.
But ain't nobody's trying to make the argument that you can run a 42-person staff media operation without support of members and advertisers.
My point is that you build up to that point from the ground up.
No one is going to come to you and say, I will give you a million dollars per month to run a media company unless you already have done so, know how to do so, and can build it.
So if you were saying, I could do it if only I had the money, right.
My point is, the average person who's trying to build up a successful business, you need to start from the ground up and make it work.
There's various different industries that require different kinds of money, but ultimately experience has to come from you working in that industry.
ian crossland
How long in the music industry, Phil, did you work without getting paid before you guys started getting paid?
phil labonte
Um, I guess the first time that I actually, like, got a paycheck that was, like, a real paycheck was probably about ten years into All That Remains being a band.
tim pool
And how long had you been playing music?
unidentified
Uh...
phil labonte
By then I started playing, it was about 15 years that I'd been playing guitar and being in bands and stuff.
tim pool
So you started playing guitar, and then 5 years after that you started All That Remains, and then 10 years after that you got paid.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
And so my point here is, you're not gonna go to someone who doesn't play guitar, sing, drums, or anything, And if they go, I could be a rock star if I just had the money, it's like, bro, you can't even play the guitar.
Okay, start playing the guitar, learn how to make music, and then start figuring out how to generate value from it.
And even after it took, Phil, you're saying 15 years of working in music from learning how to play to doing it, to get a paycheck that mattered.
phil labonte
Three different bands, too.
tim pool
And that's the point.
phil labonte
Technically, let's think of it like three different businesses.
So the first two businesses that I started failed, and then all the companies.
ian crossland
It was the same way with acting for me.
I did 10 years of theater for no pay, and then eventually I landed a commercial gig.
And a lot of people chase that big break where they're like, if I just go to Hollywood and they pick me, but like, yo, get your chops wet, man.
You gotta get a body of work behind you, and you get better at it the more you practice too.
tim pool
I will say this though, as a business owner, The one thing I will advise of anyone who wants to own a business is that the average person does not understand where money comes from and doesn't live in the same world.
Entrepreneurs and employees have completely different worldviews and it is absolutely remarkable this is the case and I think it's a huge problem.
Everyone needs to needs to understand the issue of money in money out.
The idea that you... So I had a friend who worked at a media company.
They were... This is Fusion.
Fusion was unionizing.
And I told my friends I'd left.
You need to tell your boss that you don't agree with the union.
You don't want to be a part of it.
You have nothing to do with it, and you'd love to keep working for the company.
And they're like, why?
I think the union's great, we're gonna get paid more money.
And I'm like, your company doesn't make money.
Okay?
Fusion was a net negative.
It was losing investment.
And now, you're all going to the boss and asking for more money when you don't make money?
They're going to be like, well, you've brought in negative $50,000 this year.
We paid you $100,000.
I think we'd rather just fire you.
And so what happened?
Fusion fired everybody.
That's what people don't understand about running a business.
ian crossland
Did they disband the union?
Were they able?
There wasn't... I... Have a union ever formed?
tim pool
Yeah, I think the company just shut down.
I don't know if the union ever formed.
I think there was a writer's guild or some other union was trying to get them to all join.
And I told my friend, I was like, you do realize the company was built on investor funding.
It doesn't generate revenue or profit, I should say.
It makes money but doesn't make profit.
So if you're now going to your boss and saying, you're paying me $100,000 a year.
You don't- I don't generate more than $100,000 a year.
You now have to pay me $150,000.
The boss is gonna be like, That's just my money I'm giving you.
Like, you're asking me for- just to give you money.
Like, why would I do that?
And that's, ultimately, the company shuts down.
They fired 300 plus people or something like this and they're just like, okay, that's it.
Have a nice day.
Can't do it.
There's gotta be money in and money out.
You know what I love about the far left when they say things like, the workers are entitled to portions of what they create?
You know, this like socialist argument.
The workers should own the means of production, right?
ian crossland
That's kind of like the communist battle cry.
unidentified
Yeah, right?
tim pool
Great.
Seize the means of production.
No, I completely agree with that.
So long as they also get a portion of the debts and liabilities and they have to pay for it.
So if someone says like, hey, I helped build that car and you sold it.
I should get a portion of the revenue for that car.
I'll be like, oh, okay.
Well, the production line, we're actually negative $1 million on our liabilities from the loans we had to take.
So I agree.
Let's share the proceeds.
You owe me $100,000.
No, no, I don't want any of the liabilities, I just want the money.
Okay, well the money is covering the liabilities because we're negative right now.
Maybe in a year or two, when we're profitable, you'll get a bonus.
For the time being, we ain't got no money.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
But I'm all for it!
If someone said, you know, we want to, we should control the means, like we should get a percentage, like Bernie Sanders wants to do that thing where everyone gets 20% of the company's stock.
There's like some bill that he wants proposed where a portion of stock in all public companies will be set aside for employees.
And I'm like, totally agree.
So long as alongside it, it's all company liabilities as well.
And then the way we do it is, if the employees, they have stock in the company, fantastic.
And if the company's running in the red, then the employees have to pay the company.
ian crossland
Well, no, the company shuts down if it can't, and no one has to pay.
tim pool
No, they should have to pay.
If that's the world they want to live in, if the world they want to live in is that everyone who has a stake in the company has a responsibility and a right to its benefits, then they have a responsibility to its deficits as well.
And so we can simply say, great, the company won't go under because if you're an assembly line worker and you're making shoes, and then you say the company made a billion dollars, I deserve, you know, X million in profits to be shared among the employees, I'm actually a fan of that.
I say, yeah, absolutely, there should be a degree of, you know, bonuses being given out to those who are producing the product that makes the money.
And then when the company goes in debt on a rainy day, you have to pay the company the inverse.
Will anyone take that deal?
Here's the deal.
You get a set salary of $80,000 a year.
I will pay you to do the work.
That's it.
If I make money, I make money.
If I lose money, I lose money.
Or, we can do this.
You will get, you know, we'll set aside 20% of profits for everybody, and if we run in the red, everyone else has to pitch in to cover the cost of 20% of our loss.
You think anyone would agree to that deal?
ian crossland
You might get some employees that do.
Some zealous people that believe in the mission.
tim pool
I'd be totally fine with that.
I'd say, that'd be great.
So when we run a deficit this month, I look forward to you writing me a check and me not paying you anything.
Good luck paying your rent.
That's what's going to happen.
ian crossland
Maybe you could just reduce their salary, but no lower than zero.
So you could be like, if we run debt, you will lose income up to... Well, their salary is part of what generates debt.
tim pool
So if you've got to hire three people and you're paying each of them a hundred grand, you're $300,000 down for the month.
They got to pay that money back.
They are the detriment, and they owe you a portion of the losses.
Granted, you absorb a portion of the losses, too.
It's only fair.
But no leftist would ever take that deal.
And that's the lie of socialism.
They want the benefits, but they never want the liabilities.
They want you to absorb all the debts and all the liabilities.
That's your problem.
If we all work for you, and your product generates a deficit through loans or liabilities, or how about this?
You're making widgets, making shoes.
You generate a million dollars in profits.
You take $200,000, you disperse it among your staff as a bonus.
The next year, you get fined by the FTC because of something that you feel wasn't your fault, but the government fines you a million dollars.
All the employees immediately go, hey, don't look at us, all we did was make the shoes.
And my response would be, yes, and you're responsible for the same portion that you're paid out, so you gotta pay back.
You know, $200,000 between all of you.
That's a debt.
The company assumed a liability, and now you owe us.
That's equal responsibility.
ian crossland
It's just, it's too risky to put the employee's responsibility in the hands of the CEO, because if the CEO screws the company, I don't think that all the employees... What if the employees screw the company?
What if one of them... Then they're fired.
So if one employee... And you could sue them if they really screw the company.
phil labonte
CEOs can get fired too.
tim pool
Right.
Everyone's doing a different job.
One's managing things.
One's making the product.
Let's say one of the employees accidentally spills a bottle of acetone in your soda.
And then a batch of those sodas go out and make a bunch of people sick.
Well, whose responsibility is to pay for the fine and the lawsuits for all that damages?
The company is now sued for $40 million, and all the employees say, no, we're entitled to the benefits from the product, but not the mistakes.
That's someone else's fault.
ian crossland
It must be that the risk outweighs, that the rewards outweigh the risks in corporate governance.
Just in general, you tend to make more than you lose.
Otherwise, this whole system would have failed.
So it must be that more times than not, the company comes in profitable, More than it's getting employee.
I mean, if employee intentionally spilled acetone, they'd go to prison.
tim pool
No, I'm saying an accident happens, who's responsible for it?
The one guy?
Okay, then everyone can vote and say that one guy owes us the money.
But if everyone's entitled to a share of the profits, everyone's entitled to a share of its liabilities as well.
And so at the end of the month... It's an interesting concept.
ian crossland
You could run a company like that and see what happens.
tim pool
Yeah.
But my point is simply this.
I'm all for it.
The socialists come out and say, we should get 20% of a company's stock dedicated to us.
And it's like, oh, okay.
So value of the company and the labor it produces, but not any of its liabilities?
Nah.
We have to create a special type of share where it's like, As holding that 20% means, if the company is generating profit, you'll get paid a dividend.
And if it's a net loss, you owe a debt.
So let's say the company generates a million bucks in profit, that share will be worth its dividend.
And if the company generates a deficit, they will come to you at the end of the year and say, here's your bill for what you owe us as a part owner of the company.
breanna morello
Yeah, but if they were all investors in that case, in that kind of sense, you wouldn't really have a CEO anymore.
They'd all have some type of say in how the companies ran, even by the manufacturing.
tim pool
Shareholders do get a vote.
breanna morello
Yeah, that's true.
But the guy at the manufacturing plant could eventually just kind of... First off, he probably doesn't know how to run the business.
He just knows his, like, one skill set, in that sense.
And he could actually tank the company, too.
So I don't know if it'd be so beneficial.
That's true for any company.
tim pool
That's why I'm saying the leftist idea is moronic.
Natural hierarchy in entrepreneurial endeavors makes a lot of sense.
And if you are hired by someone to do a job, you're not entitled to what comes after.
If I hire you to build a skateboard ramp, you're not entitled to the revenue from the ads generated from a guy doing a kickflip off of it.
Let's read superchats.
Alright, Jacob Paradis says, First!
V for Vendetta, Vivek VP.
Well, right on.
ian crossland
Vivek Ramaswamy's initials are VR, speaking of the virtual reality, and his son's initials are AR.
Arjun.
breanna morello
Shoutout to Arjun.
ian crossland
Indicating the augmented reality.
tim pool
Triple Flip says, Tim and Crew, please never forget that you are truly changing the world.
I love you all very much, except Seamus.
I only just kinda like Potato Man.
phil labonte
Poor Seamus.
tim pool
Seamus is going to be back for, I believe he's going to be coming here for an extended period, back co-hosting the show, so we're looking forward to that.
Probably a couple times per week, because we can't take up all his time, he's got Freedom Tunes to run.
ian crossland
He does like that Freedom Tunes.
tim pool
Keith says, Sean Strickland, the real people's champ.
Hear, hear, man.
Max says, Tim, are there going to be any positions open at any of the new places you're opening up?
I'm in the Frederick area and I'm looking for gainful employment.
Would love to help the cause.
Uh, so I think June is when the coffee shop will officially open.
And that's probably like the most immediate job availability, but I gotta be honest, it's likely gonna be someone who just walks in off the street with a resume who gets that job.
And they're gonna, like, make coffee.
That's about it.
And then we're gonna have upstairs is the club, which, really cool, a lot of the club stuff's already there, like, it's really great.
We're doing this show, but behind the scenes, it is moving.
So, in a week or so, the new studio production is getting done, the new computer for the new studio is already being built, the new studio, the whole structure is approved, final, done, the kitchen is there, there's a stove, there's a refrigerator, bathrooms all work, get this.
The bathrooms that we're going to have in the new studio, they are electric, with seat warmers, and they are those Japanese-style toilets that clean your butt for you.
ian crossland
The bidet?
tim pool
Well, it's built in.
ian crossland
Really?
tim pool
It's a toilet you sit down on, it's got a controller and you can press buttons.
We are going to be eco-friendly, using well water instead of paper.
When we clean our bottoms.
ian crossland
Instead of?
Don't you use them both in conjunction?
tim pool
Well, yeah, I'm just saying you need less because we have the electric toilet that cleans.
unidentified
Have you guys used just two squares to kind of pat it dry afterwards?
ian crossland
I hear bidets are great and I've never been able to bring myself to do it.
Really?
serge du preez
Yeah, take that Greta.
tim pool
Do you have one?
ian crossland
Yeah, I bought one.
I haven't installed it.
I'm like, I should, but like I hear good things are only 30 bucks.
tim pool
Nah, the real answer is the Japanese toilet.
It's all built in.
You just sit down and, you know, it's got a warmer on it.
And they have blow dryers.
unidentified
Wow.
ian crossland
The toilets?
tim pool
Yes, they do.
breanna morello
They really thought of everything.
unidentified
Is that the speakers on the sound makers and stuff too?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
White noise.
It'll play like birds and stuff.
ian crossland
You need these frequency generators so you can vibrate and hit the brown note.
I think the brown note's between two and four hertz or something like that.
tim pool
Yo, there's this app.
I forgot what it's called.
It's like better sleep or something.
I saw a commercial for it.
And you hook it up to a speaker and it plays a bunch of different sounds for you while you sleep.
I was like, that's actually really cool.
Cause you can play like forest noises or the beach.
There's thunderstorm.
So this is actually interesting.
There are YouTube channels.
There was one guy we helped out a while ago.
He got banned on YouTube.
All of his videos were like AI generated environments.
So you could play a video of being in a wood cabin by the fireplace during a thunderstorm.
It's really awesome.
You're like reading a book, you turn it on, put it on the big screen, and then it sounds like you're in a storm.
And it's like, it's fun.
It's a fun experience.
Well, they made an app for it.
That guy got banned.
We got him unbanned.
That was a weird thing that happened.
But they have an app for it.
And I'm like, oh, it's really cool.
It's got like piano music.
It's got forest sounds.
And then it has brown noise.
Yeah, Ian gave me a look like, wait, what?
I'm like, uh-huh.
There's like pink noise, white noise, green noise, and brown noise.
And I was like, I don't know that's a sound I want to play.
You know what I mean?
ian crossland
There might be a time.
tim pool
Yeah, perhaps.
Perhaps you ate too much cheese and you're having some trouble.
ian crossland
Dude, I put on 528 hertz and I ran to the bathroom.
I felt like I was going to purge.
tim pool
Are you saying you found the brown note?
ian crossland
Maybe, but then I looked it up and they said it was much lower frequency.
All right, let's read some more.
tim pool
Noah R says, I'm going to buy Bibles even harder now.
Yep, you're gonna have to buy like 50 Bibles and hide them from the government.
It's like V for Vendetta where the guy has the Koran, Stephen Fry's character has a Koran hidden in his wall.
And also weird BDSM porn, I guess.
But you know, whatever.
Alright.
Wyatt Caldenberg says, Tim, when was the last time in history that a government made an enemy list of its own citizens and it didn't end in mass murder?
This is Stalinist.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
That's why I'm saying this is dark stuff.
It sounds really bad.
They're putting together a list.
They want to know who's buying what and what you're doing, man.
It's coming.
ian crossland
Do you guys use Amazon?
Do you use Amazon, Brianna?
breanna morello
I love Amazon.
I know I shouldn't love it, but I do.
ian crossland
That's how I am.
breanna morello
I know.
I know.
It's a guilty little thing over there.
Every time I'm like, should I buy it?
And I always end up doing it.
unidentified
I know.
breanna morello
I got to get off of it.
There's got to be a good alternative.
phil labonte
There are certain things.
Public Square.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
What's that?
phil labonte
There are certain things it's okay to buy from Amazon, but like, you shouldn't.
Buy everything from him.
tim pool
Giving them money.
Alright, here's a good one.
John O'Bell says, no surprises here, Tim has no idea of English Civil War history.
You are correct.
I don't.
Much like many people in England have no idea about American Revolutionary history.
I don't know anything about Athens.
I know a little bit.
I know there's a thing called the Parthenon.
Don't know much about it.
ian crossland
Ooh, I like Greek history.
tim pool
I think I've been there.
It's like there, right?
ian crossland
Yeah, the Parthenon's up on the Acropolis.
tim pool
Oh, that's right, the Acropolis.
Yeah, I went there.
And I don't know anything about it.
ian crossland
It was a defensive bastion.
tim pool
There are many things I do not know.
Went to Lesbos.
That was really cool.
ian crossland
The British Civil War.
tim pool
That's where lesbians come from.
ian crossland
Lesbos?
tim pool
I'm pretty sure.
unidentified
Really?
ian crossland
Because it was hot?
tim pool
I don't know.
Is that true?
unidentified
I believe it comes from the Odyssey, I think.
And they were on the Isle of Lesbos.
ian crossland
And there was a bunch of ladies getting on?
unidentified
Google it!
ian crossland
According to Homer.
tim pool
You have the plethora.
Ian, you have the summation of human knowledge right before your fingertips.
ian crossland
Let's find out.
Did Lesbos come from...
Lesbians?
No, I wrote it backwards, but Google understands.
It's actually brave what I'm using.
tim pool
What does it say?
Does it say yes?
ian crossland
The word lesbian... I don't want to read that.
The word lesbian literally means resident of the Isle of Lesbos.
The word lesbian means resident of the Isle of Lesbos.
unidentified
If I remember from the Odyssey, they were like living in joy and happiness.
ian crossland
Sorry to interrupt you.
unidentified
No, no.
ian crossland
It says here, the term came to describe women who love women after the island's most famous resident, the poet Sappho.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Yep.
Well there you go.
ian crossland
Wow.
tim pool
So you learn something new every day.
phil labonte
That means only gay women from the aisle of Lesbo are actually lesbians and everyone else is just like sparkling gay.
tim pool
Well, you're not a real lesbian if you're actually from Greece.
phil labonte
Exactly.
You have to be from the island of Lesbos to be a real lesbian.
tim pool
You're only a lesbian if you're actually born and raised in the island of Lesbos.
Otherwise, it's just sparkling gay.
phil labonte
Say your joke again.
tim pool
All right.
F.S.
Clair says, once you realize that America is now a Soviet state, none of what the system is doing to Trump is surprising.
If you think it's bad now, just wait.
The show is just getting started.
ian crossland
These black-pilled people!
tim pool
No, the show could be coming to an end, honestly.
The night is always darkest before the dawn.
And the assumption and the hope is that we are in the darkest portion of night.
The black-pilled people assume it's not yet nighttime.
That may be the case.
Michael Malice often brings this point up, that it could be so much worse, you don't realize.
ian crossland
So, perhaps.
I get the black pill, man.
But I feel like we have self-control and free will.
Destiny is part of it too, we're being pulled along, but like, you have the free will to say white pill stuff, even if you don't, it doesn't feel good, because sometimes you're just addicted to your past emotions, and like, you gotta twist yourself into the light.
tim pool
All right, Vaush says, you are wrong.
Those private companies might as well be nationalized already with the amount of regulation and permission they have to have from the Fed to manufacture those weapons.
No sir, you are wrong.
Those companies run the Feds and the system.
I do not believe that the, look, the CIA contracts out to private corporations.
Edward Snowden wasn't working for the CIA, he was a contractor.
The government takes your money, gives it to private entities, who then run the show.
That's the creepy thing about it.
And often, one point that I dispute but many people bring up is that the Federal Reserve is a private institution.
So, I disagree.
I think, in reality, our government is controlled by special interests.
The government has its degree of control that it can influence over private institutions, so there is a bit of a double-edged sword there, but my point is, the military-industrial complex is running the show.
There you go.
Sure, they need federal, you know, permissions and stuff, but it's permissions they decide on.
And they have stock, and they make money, and they're the reason why we have wars and all this stuff.
They support the politicians who will fund them and give them what they want, and the only regulations that exist are the ones that they're okay with.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, for the most part.
For the most part.
Alpha Turkey says, Zola's algorithm.
A Marvel reference.
Zola in, uh, this was what, Captain America 2?
ian crossland
I don't know.
tim pool
Yep.
Where the Nazis, the Hydro-scientists, not Nazi, but former Nazi Hydro-scientists, creates
an algorithm that will track down through AI all of the undesirables and execute them
in an instant using gunships in the sky.
Yep.
That's creepy.
ian crossland
That's called a full spectrum dominance.
That's apparently what this power structure is seeking.
tim pool
Nathan Rayner says, Tim, you are wrong.
My wife makes the best cookies ever with no salt.
Yes, there are cookie recipes that don't have salt.
My point is, typically baked goods will have salt in them to some degree.
When I was a little kid, I remember when I was baking cookies for the first time, and my mom explained we were now going to add the salt.
And I was like, what?
Why?
Because I did not understand.
Salt tended to be something you'd put on dinner.
Like, you know, your entree, not your dessert.
And then you realize chemical reactions, flavor reactions, etc.
You know, I'll give you the best example.
Courage of the Cowardly Dog.
Do you guys ever see that show?
No.
What was the old lady's name in the show?
unidentified
It was Eustace and Muriel.
tim pool
Muriel would always say the secret ingredient was vinegar.
And so it's like putting vinegar in random things.
Maybe not true.
ian crossland
It was a cartoon.
I think so.
Yeah, vinegar and eggs.
tim pool
Chef Gruel let us in on a secret.
Splashing a little vinegar on your eggs.
Holy crap.
ian crossland
Also different types of vinegar in different ratios.
Like a little bit of white wine vinegar with a little bit of balsamic and a little bit of rice wine with like a teriyaki vinegar to finish it off, you know?
Yeah.
tim pool
So my point is, the average person doesn't understand why you need to put certain things that you may not like in food.
ian crossland
Salt makes sweet stuff less bitter.
I think bitter is the right word.
unidentified
Yeah, I believe so.
ian crossland
My cookies will be a little bitter without salt.
tim pool
Salted caramel is based AF.
phil labonte
Oh, it's so good.
tim pool
Right, and you get these little chocolates and they have huge chunks of salt on them, and it's amazing.
My point is, the average person, when asked to vote on it, would say, don't put salt in my chocolate.
phil labonte
I mean, even chocolate chip cookies, there's like the doughy part of it that's not the chocolate part.
Like, there's a little bit of a savory flavor.
tim pool
I gotta tell you, if you make chocolate chip cookie dough and you don't put salt in it, it is nowhere near as good.
Bad.
That salt makes it pop.
Of course, you want the brown sugar, the butter, the white sugar.
ian crossland
I actually like putting salt in my water.
Have you guys ever do that?
Like electrolytes?
Yeah, just throw electrolytes.
And then just go for it.
Yeah.
That was imaginary salt, by the way.
I don't have any on me.
unidentified
True.
tim pool
But there are a lot of things.
I'll give you a better example to everybody.
If we were to vote on whether or not silencers were dangerous and should be banned, guess what happens?
They get banned because people watch movies and they think silencers go pew pew.
That's right.
That's democracy.
unidentified
Great.
tim pool
So our public is not immune to these problems.
phil labonte
You gotta know the secrets to get the pew pew ones.
tim pool
I've seen some pretty impressive ones, but they're more like a snap.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
And it's not a bang, and they're really quiet.
It's impressive.
I would say the average person who's not heard the sound of some of the better suppressors would not know what they were hearing.
But to be fair, I've been in way too many conflict situations with active gunfire where no one knew what was going on.
My favorite story, of course, is when I was working for Vice and in Ferguson gunshots went off and I hit the deck, everyone else hits the deck, and the camera person goes, are those fireworks?
And that happened more than once.
And I was like, do you see anybody with fireworks?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
Do you see people with guns?
Yes.
What assumption are you going to make?
Wild dude.
phil labonte
Apparently they're gonna make the wrong one.
tim pool
But to be fair, when I went back with a better producer from Vice, when the gunshots went off and I looked to my right, he was already on the ground and I'm like, my man.
And then I saw a guy from ABC who was walking around confused and he said, are those fireworks?
And I'm like, every single time.
They don't get it.
unidentified
No, they don't.
tim pool
They hear bangs, they don't understand.
Yo, I'm pretty sure you fire a 22, like a Ruger 10-22, the average person's not gonna recognize the sound.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
They don't know what it sounds like.
They hear movies and they hear boom, boom, boom.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Then they hear a 10-22 and they're thinking like, is that a mousetrap going off?
unidentified
Yeah.
I mean, the sound of a bullet going past you is a really particular sound.
You don't really forget that one.
tim pool
Oh yeah.
That happened to me in Ferguson.
It was a whip crack.
unidentified
Yep, sounds like it.
tim pool
That was crazy.
unidentified
Yeah, that speed barrier basically.
tim pool
I just fell on the ground and I scraped my hands up.
When the gunshots rang out, and then I just, I dropped my body.
I just basically leaned forward and body slammed straight down.
The fastest way to go down is to just, just hit the deck.
And I scraped my hands and I heard the, hit the wall right in front of me.
Ferguson was wild, man.
People were just shooting.
Anyway.
We'll, uh, we'll grab some more Super Chats here.
We got a big one.
unidentified
Uh, let's see.
tim pool
David Whited said, what did Brianna learn from Fox that she uses on her show?
breanna morello
So much.
Specifically, gosh, I'd have to say, well, definitely booking.
There's a lot of interesting tactics to network and to book guest that I've learned.
But specifically on the podcast that I'm hosting now, we kind of teach people how to, like, analyze the media a little bit better because most people just kind of, like we were discussing earlier, just kind of, like, just take what older generations kind of take whatever is fed to them.
And they just kind of think it is Fox saying it.
This is great.
You know, during the pandemic, I'm not sure if everyone realizes it, but the Blaze did a great FOIA request.
And ultimately what happened is we found out that Fox and pretty much all mainstream media outlets took government money from HHS from the Biden administration to promote the vaccines.
And then it led to our coverage being altered.
And I was there one day when Peter Navarro's segment was clipped because he said to young people, don't take the vaccines because it's a high risk.
And if you're a healthy person, there's no reason to take them.
Oh yeah, it's bad.
But anyway, my friends, we're going to go to the Members Only Uncensored Show!
that the media is easy to buy off, obviously, even from the government,
and they will manipulate the facts and they have no issue doing so.
tim pool
Oh yeah, it's bad.
But anyway, my friends, we're gonna go to the members only uncensored show.
So head over to timcast.com, click join us to become a member
and you'll get access to our discord server where you can hang out with like-minded individuals.
That's the real benefit of being a member, is that before the show, during the show, after the show, everyone's hanging out.
There's commentary, there's shows on the Discord that happen all the time.
Morning commute shows, after-dark aftershows.
And as a member, who has signed up at TimCast.com for $10 a month, You're not only supporting our ability to do our various shows on the ground, we're planning one, I think, for Super Tuesday, likely going to be in West Virginia.
Because we figured, if it's everywhere all over the country, let's do a West Virginia one and get people involved.
Maybe we'll have something in Martinsburg.
Maybe we could, I don't know, maybe we have our own venue.
Maybe we do that.
That makes sense.
We have a building.
serge du preez
Yeah, we do.
tim pool
Yeah, that's easy.
So maybe that's the case.
We're trying to find a venue, and I'm like, we have a building.
Let's just roll.
Let's bring everybody to Martinsburg.
serge du preez
That's a good idea.
tim pool
So that would be on March 5th.
Super fun.
And we have the mobile equipment.
We can definitely pull this off.
I wonder, though, if we do it as a private members-only thing.
So we have to, I think, because of regulations on the elevator.
But that's all possible because you are members.
So become a member and you'll also get to watch the uncensored show coming up in a few minutes, where we are not so family friendly.
You can follow the show at Timcast IRL, but follow me personally at Timcast.
And, you know, thank you for smashing the like button.
Brianna, do you want to shout anything out?

No, I just want to shout out everyone who's supporting my new show.
We just recently started doing a daily podcast, and I'm just so thankful for all of the conservative brands who are supporting us and everyone else who's supporting us by just listening.
So that would be all.
I think it's really important for your audience to support independent journalism.
It's really the only thing that's going to save this country, unfortunately, because the corporate media is so paid off.
And so thank you for everyone who does so, because that's really important.

What is the show called?
breanna morello
The Brianna Morella Show.
It's very unique.
ian crossland
Yeah, that is.
How'd you come up with that?
breanna morello
You know, it took a lot of thinking.
ian crossland
Did you patent?
Did you take the rights?
But where is it?
What network?
breanna morello
We're just online now, so we're all over Twitter, Rumble, everywhere now.
They just started doing YouTube, so we just literally launched last week as a daily show.
ian crossland
What time does your show go live?
breanna morello
Before you guys, so it's 7.

I'm Ian Crossland.
You are subscribing to me on the internet everywhere at Ian Crossland and enjoying my content.
Go check out the Mike McCullough interview from earlier.
Let me know what you thought.
And special shout out to Matt Reif who turned me on to the Royal Reif's technology, this Reif machine.
I'm going to go vibrate in the solfeggio frequencies later tonight.
I have them all in a loop.
Uh, three-minute loop.
It just goes up and then starts over and then goes up.
It's really nice.
Check it out.

Ian also has a bunch of crystals, too.
ian crossland
Yeah, let's see those vibrators.
unidentified
Wow.
ian crossland
My plan is to go to the pyramid, the Great Pyramid, go into the King's Chamber, lay in the sarcophagus, which was apparently a sensory deprivation tank, and then they vibrate that inner chamber, and then, like, George St.
Pierre was there with Jimmy Corsetti, and when George was getting vibrated... Oh, he's gonna be here on Friday.
Jimmy Corsetti's gonna be here with Ben, um...
Freakin' solar wet sun weather, man.
tim pool
Ben, um... How funny would it be if Ian does this, and then his consciousness is transported to, like, another planet?
ian crossland
That would be so awesome.
So I want to take these rife machines into the King's Chamber and vibrate that chamber.
And I'll let you know when we do.
tim pool
We'll go to the members-only show and talk more about it.
ian crossland
Yeah, Serge, what do you think about it?
serge du preez
Uh, yeah.
Stuff still vibrates, bro.
unidentified
Anyways, I'm Serge.com.
I hope you guys follow Ian.
He puts a lot of stuff out there.
We all do a lot to make this show work.
We appreciate you guys coming out to our shows live, coming to West Virginia.
serge du preez
It's cool.
Yeah, see you later.
tim pool
We'll see you all over at TimCast.com.
It'll be up on the front page in a minute or so.
