So Donald Trump waves to people, a picture is taken, he has golf blisters on his hand,
and now the media is awash with conspiracies that he's got syphilis, or perhaps the clap,
which I don't believe red marks on your hand is a symptom of the clap.
Nor do I think.
Like, this is really funny.
Because people are, like, the news outlets are actually reporting on this, claiming it's syphilis.
I'm like, dude, they're golf blisters.
He went golfing.
That, like, this is totally not news.
But, uh, the talking point is, and the funny thing is, if Trump actually had syphilis, and it had progressed to the point where his hand is covered in blisters all over his body, this would imply he's had syphilis for, I think, like, ten years.
And he's never taken an antibiotic before.
So welcome to the 2024 election cycle where you got James Carville commenting on how he thinks Trump has the clap.
And this is gonna be it.
They're gonna win by claiming Trump's golf.
Okay, when you golf and your gloves aren't right or whatever, you get blisters.
It happens all the time.
You can Google it.
There's photos everywhere.
It's really not surprising.
In fact, some professor just came out right when asked for comment by one of these news organizations, like, their golf blisters.
But they're gonna keep running this story, so we'll talk about that.
Plus, Man, Democrats are actually starting to panic because Donald Trump is winning the youth vote.
Not an exaggeration.
I almost don't want to believe it because I think they're lying to us.
I think their strategy is like, hey, you know how we're always wrong and we underestimate Trump in the polls?
Let's overestimate him in the polls.
Lull him into a false sense of security.
But we even have Vox writing that Democrats are panicking as they lose the youth vote.
And more and more, Trump is gaining these young voters.
Teen Vogue is even writing about it.
So we'll talk about that.
Plus, we got another clip from Sean Strickland.
Dude, Sean Strickland, you are awesome.
You're amazing.
I'm really excited to see your fight.
He's wearing a shirt that says, Make Canada Great Again.
He shouts out to the people in the audience that he's here to defend them, their rights, their free speech.
This guy's a warrior.
So I just say, everybody should watch this fight.
Support UFC.
Support Strickland and what he's standing up for.
He's a good dude.
And he's got balls.
But we will jump into all that stuff.
Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com if you want to purchase some of the best coffee you've ever had.
I gotta say, we were going over the numbers the other day in sales.
Appalachian Nights is a home run.
The other coffee stuff we do sell, the other blends, Rise of the Birdo Jr., you know, Stand Your Ground is also very popular.
It seems like we sell these because we shout them out.
You know, people who like the show and want to support us will buy it.
But Appalachian Nights, it's like in a week or two week period, we're selling thousands of bags, whereas the other ones are doing hundreds, really.
And I keep hearing from people saying Appalachian Nights really is the best coffee they've ever had.
Well, I really do appreciate Appreciate it.
Basically, the way it works is we received a bunch of different samples, a bunch of different origins, and we came up with what we thought was the best and what we liked the most.
And in our crafting of the blend, Appalachian Nights was one of the ones we made, and apparently people really do love it, so I recommend it.
But don't forget, we also got Alex Stein's Primetime Grind 2x Caffeine!
We got the new commercial with Alex Stein up right now.
You can check it out.
It's hilarious.

Yeah, that's what people say.
All right.
tim pool
So you're here.
We'll see what narratives get broken.
dom lucre
Yeah, for sure.
I'm definitely excited to break some.
tim pool
All right.
Should be fun.
Hannah-Claire Brimelow's hanging out.
hannah claire brimelow
Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow.
I'm a writer for SCNR.com.
I'm looking forward to the show tonight.
And Libby's here.
libby emmons
Hey, Hannah-Claire.
hannah claire brimelow
Hey, how are you?
libby emmons
Hey, Tim.
Hey, Dom.
Glad to be here.
I'm Libby Emmons, the editor with The Post Millennial.
And glad to be on the show.
dom lucre
Yeah.
libby emmons
I'm filling in for Ian again.
tim pool
Wow, he's gone.
libby emmons
Yeah.
serge du preez
And I am Serge.com.
I'm going to adjust the brightness on Hannah's camera really fast.
Whose?
Hannah's camera real fast.
unidentified
Whose?
serge du preez
Hannah Clare's camera.
unidentified
Thank goodness!
serge du preez
Dang it, I'm fired.
hannah claire brimelow
You are fired.
You're immediately fired.
serge du preez
My last Broomcast ever.
All right, let's go.
tim pool
All right.
Here's the big story of the day.
The first thing I want to say, you know, Trump's... Let me read the title for you.
Trump's red hand markings draw wild speculation, including syphilis conspiracies.
unidentified
And so here's the... Let's open the image so you can get a better view of it.
tim pool
I'm gonna be honest with everybody.
So we're sitting here, getting ready for the show, and I'm just like, there really is no news today.
And, you know, one of the top stories on the Daily Mail is like, horses pull SUV from ditch.
unidentified
And I was like, what is this not news?
tim pool
But man, they're really grasping.
And so the people who hate Trump are running out of things to hate Trump about.
So when Trump waves and he's got blisters on his hands, which are clearly golf blisters, there's no other explanation.
I mean, maybe he felt fine, whatever, but you can look at where they're at clearly from gripping a golf club.
Golf blisters are extremely common.
These are the stories that they decide to run.
Could Donald Trump have syphilis?
They say, former president Donald Trump was photographed Wednesday leaving his Manhattan apartment with patchwork of red markings resembling blisters on his right hand, drawing mass speculation about the cause of the apparent affliction, as Trump has stayed uncharacteristically mum on the subject.
hannah claire brimelow
Do you think we'll ever get to the point where we elect a president that openly has syphilis?
I mean, that's my question.
tim pool
In order for Trump to have had progressed in syphilis to that degree, it would mean that he had symptoms for like 10 years.
hannah claire brimelow
So you don't think we'll ever be like, this president will be like, I have syphilis and I should leave the country.
tim pool
It is an entirely curable disease.
hannah claire brimelow
I don't know, what if you just try antistigma?
libby emmons
You can get some, what is it, like antibiotics or something?
But I want to say this is why people hate the media and don't trust the media, because this is
basically the lead story of the day, which is ridiculous.
tim pool
It really is.
Look, like James Carville is talking about it, MSNBC is talking about it.
hannah claire brimelow
Do you think it's because people are lazy, though?
I feel like this is easier than some of the other stuff that's going on.
tim pool
Right now, aliens are in their spaceship above the Earth, and they're about to press the make first contact button, and this story popped up, and then the other alien pushed the hand away and said, no.
libby emmons
Can't go there.
tim pool
Not these people.
libby emmons
Get behind me, Satan.
tim pool
No, these people are no good.
Eject!
And then they leave.
We're not going to bring them into the Galactic Federation.
dom lucre
It's funny, it said resembling.
It's kind of funny.
We can't say what they are.
Not sure.
libby emmons
Yeah, it's funny the way they play those tricks.
tim pool
Host of MSNBC's Morning Joe questioned whether the blemishes were magic marker, blood, or something that may have been exacerbated by Trump slamming his hands on the table during his defamation trial surrounding statements he made about writer E. Jean Carroll.
What I love about this is that, first, we here at Timcast, when I saw the story, you know the first thing I did was?
I scrolled past it.
I saw a story that says, what is wrong with Trump's hands?
And then I kept going.
And then I read an op-ed from the Covington Catholic kid, Nick Sam.
I'm like, oh, here's an op-ed.
I'll read about that story.
That matters to me.
But this is picked up by all the cable outlets.
And so finally, when I started realizing Everybody's talking about this.
I Google searched blisters on hand and golf blisters is like one of the first things I found and I was like, oh, Trump goes golfing.
libby emmons
He goes golfing all the time.
hannah claire brimelow
Or it could be this other thing that we like better because it assassinates characters.
libby emmons
Also, you know, it's like you mentioned the E. Jean Carroll trial that's going on, and of course they would come up with syphilis because it links it to something, you know, sexually untoward, and then it almost like meta-verifies her stupid narrative.
tim pool
Democratic strategist James Carville didn't mince words.
They don't look like cuts to me.
I think there's a good chance this man has the clap.
Okay, that's gonorrhea, and I do not believe that causes blisters on your hands, but I don't know for sure.
He said Wednesday on the Politicon podcast, noting, he consulted a number of doctors who all came to the consensus that Trump has secondary syphilis, though he did not identify the doctors and added the disclaimer that the photos may have been doctored.
Holy crap.
Okay, so syphilis has phases, And secondary, I could be totally wrong, but I think secondary syphilis is like a year or two out or something like that?
libby emmons
Yeah, it's a while later.
The only thing I really know about syphilis is that Nietzsche had syphilis and I think it killed him.
tim pool
They used to drink mercury.
dom lucre
How did they get away with writing stuff like this and calling the conservatives conspiracy theorists is beyond me.
libby emmons
That's such a good question.
tim pool
Well, they're a cult.
You know what I mean?
So you have post-liberals, former Democrats, disaffected liberals, conservatives, all of us disagreeing on policy.
But the one thing we agree on is these people are crackpot cultist weirdos.
And so they'll call all of us conspiracy theorists when we say stuff like, yeah, you guys are crazy.
But that's it.
And you ask, how do they get away with it?
How do they get away with a woman claiming that 30 years ago Trump raped her in the Bergdorf or whatever, and Trump's like, there's no evidence, I've never met the woman, I have no idea what she's talking about, and they're just like, eh, you're liable anyway, so, eh, whatever.
hannah claire brimelow
It's crazy.
tim pool
I'm sorry, I would not want to live in any of these places, these cities.
New York is beyond the communist dystopia nonsense, where quite literally a stranger you've never met, I think Trump, they're saying that he knew E. Jean Carroll, whatever, and there's like a photo of them at a party at the same time, and Trump's like, I've been to a bunch of parties with a bunch of people, I don't know who this person is.
libby emmons
He went to every party of the socialite set.
hannah claire brimelow
And he was probably the most well-known person in most of those rooms.
dom lucre
And multiple women came to take pictures with him.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
Right.
So, one day, you're gonna get sued by someone you've never heard of, claiming that you, I don't know, like, in this instance for Trump, raped her, or whatever, or sexually assaulted her.
This woman just clearly Everybody, everybody agrees is a whack job.
It's a whack job.
But this is the current state of American politics.
And it's funny because I'm like, guys, I'm going to say civil war.
If there's not going to be one, if there's not going to be one, and maybe not, it's just social collapse.
And so maybe it won't ever be like mass scale fighting over control of the government or anything like that.
It'll just be You know, somebody who lives in Iowa doesn't view Missouri as their neighbor anymore.
hannah claire brimelow
I feel like part of the timing of the story has to do with the fact that they were at Melania's mom's funeral today.
It's like there can't be any moment where the Trumps seem like a sympathetic family.
They're just going through something.
Actually, we have to be reminded that we, we being mainstream media, hate him at all times, at all costs.
And I find that to be really ugly.
I think people become disenchanted with consuming news that's basically fueled on speculation and hate.
dom lucre
If you actually look at any of the websites that can show you the views of these websites, of other websites like A-Refs or SEMrush, it shows that their views have went down significant.
It's a significant drop in CNN and all the mainstream because a lot of the viewers were stressing.
If you look in the comments, CNN even removed the comments section off their websites because of this.
It's like why are they still talking about Trump?
They say you don't even have to bash Biden. We just want to know what our active president is doing
They were more concerned about Trump. I remember when he was just taking the high road and being very quiet
They were criticizing him for golfing saying that he was no longer
Caring about the audience like bro. I thought he isn't president anymore. So this is the nature of the media
tim pool
Donald Trump is forced into an emergency bunker by far-left insurrectionists and the media made fun of him and called
him bunker boy I'm like, so when the far-left interfered in the official proceedings of the United States by firebombing the White House, that's not an insurrection.
But when J6ers interfere in the electoral count, that's an insurrection.
I'm like, either they're both insurrections or neither are insurrections.
libby emmons
Or neither are, yeah.
dom lucre
Pulling a fire alarm as well.
libby emmons
Oh, yeah, dude.
How that guy is not just locked up Well, and he has great ideas for reparations now, too, that he was talking about today.
unidentified
Like he got a new promotion.
tim pool
I think, you know, what I was just saying about social breakdown.
There's a big story right now where Texas has begun arresting illegal immigrants.
libby emmons
I love this story.
tim pool
In defiance of the federal government.
libby emmons
They started arresting them today.
tim pool
Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's cool.
Grain of sand being added to the heap.
At some point, the federal government either has to admit it's been defeated.
Look, I'll put it this way.
libby emmons
By Texas, which is kind of perfect.
tim pool
Well, that's it.
The dam has broken.
The dam is broken.
dom lucre
Okay.
tim pool
We are not necessarily looking at Fort Sumter, although I wasn't the one who made this point.
I can't remember who made this point.
I think it might have been like Benny Johnson.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, I think it was Benny.
He was saying that the federal, you know, the start of the first civil war, the federal government is saying this is our territory, the South is saying no it's not, and there's a standoff, nobody really dies, but we call it the start.
Right now in Texas, the federal government is saying, Texas is breaking the laws, breaking federal law, barring them from access to the river, and they have no authority to enforce border issues, and Texas is saying we're going to do it anyway.
The dam is broken because now there's one of two scenarios.
The first scenario is the federal government loses, has no authority, no control, and the confidence in the federal government's ability to enforce the border is gone.
Arizona makes the next move.
libby emmons
Which they should be doing.
I mean, with Katie Hobbs, they won't.
tim pool
If the federal government loses here, and they are not able to enforce with force, The states win and that diminishes the power of the federal government substantially to where other states will start taking similar action.
How do we know this is going to happen?
Because when California started defying federal law with their sanctuary cities and sanctuary states, we then saw the emergence of gun sanctuaries where several jurisdictions are saying we will no longer enforce these federal gun laws.
So Texas, for instance, has completely eschewed the ban on suppressors, and they say, in fact, check me before you go and buy suppressors.
But my understanding is if you're in Texas, you can buy a Texas suppressor, and they don't adhere to federal law.
So it's the ATF who have to come and stop you from doing it.
The other path is the federal government decides the only way to assert their authority and prevent the breakdown of confidence is to, by force, stop the Texas National Guard and law enforcement from prohibiting them.
That would mean an escalation of force from federal law enforcement against Texas National Guard or police.
libby emmons
Well, what's interesting, too, though, is the border agents that Biden deploys, what they typically do is they're not there on the line dealing with the border.
They're mostly just processing people.
That's all they're doing.
So the National Guard went in and said, you know, we're going to actually close the border here.
And the law that Texas passed was interesting because it said that it's illegal to enter Texas crossing an international border illegally.
So they made being They made illegally crossing the border illegal again.
tim pool
Let me pull this up.
This is CNN.
Texas authorities have begun arresting migrants at a public park near the U.S.-Mexico border, official says.
Texas authorities arrested migrants at Shelby Park and Eagle Pass, Texas, late Wednesday evening and charged them with criminal trespassing, marking the first arrests of migrants since the state took control of the area at the U.S.-Mexico border last week, an official said.
The arrests were announced by Lt.
Chris Oliveras at the Texas Department of Public Safety on social media, where he also posted videos on Axe.
We get it, we get it.
Single adult migrant men and women were taken into state custody, while migrant families and children were transferred to U.S.
Border Patrol.
I'm hearing that the Texas planes and buses that were shipping migrants to various cities have either stopped or slowed around the same time the state has begun arresting the illegal immigrants.
Okay, my friends, social breakdown.
The federal government declares the international borders are their authority, and I believe that is the case, but they are also obligated under Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution to defend states from invasion.
The federal government is facilitating invasion, not doing their duty, so Texas says, we no longer adhere to what you are claiming.
Texas is now solely enforcing the law on their border, passing a law saying that they have the authority and jurisdiction on this international border.
The federal government sues them saying, no you don't.
Texas deploys armed National Guardsmen to bar federal agents from the border, from the river, and we have the makings of... The grains of sand are being added to the heap of secession.
So, does this escalate to the point where Texas eventually declares independence?
It may.
All of these small moments when, you know, I always use this analogy, how many grains of sand make a heap?
What we are watching right now is Texas asserting its own authority over an international border, Texas deploying armed soldiers to bar federal agents from what the federal agents claim is their jurisdiction.
If the federal government backs down and gives up, This just shatters confidence in the federal government.
So what does that mean for other states?
Next you get New Mexico, Arizona, other states being like, well, the federal government has no authority anymore.
They've given up.
And they'll start asserting their own authority.
Or the federal government shows up in force with guns and says, stand down.
And if that happens, we have to ask, will Texas stand down?
Or will Texas say, F you know?
And where does that lead?
libby emmons
That's really fascinating.
dom lucre
I feel like we're Americans.
It seems like America as a whole is going back to I don't want to make it seem like it's radical, but kind of its roots in this culture of just keeping the government accountable.
And if you won't take care of this nation, we will.
Because that's kind of how the founding fathers were.
I feel like just Americans as a whole.
They're going to start making the founding fathers proud, and that's not saying to start a revolution or anything, or even no promotion of it.
libby emmons
But it does mean stand on your rights.
dom lucre
Yeah, they're standing on their rights, and they're telling the government they've taken too much power, give it back to the states.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, this was Abbott's criticism of immigration for a long time now, that there are laws in the books that the federal government could choose to enforce, and they don't.
In fact, they have let this become an increasingly burdensome problem for the states to deal with, and then telling states they can't do anything to stop it.
And so I think in some ways this rise of, you know, a state governor that is willing to do something is inspirational.
I think it's more likely that border states would follow suit.
And I actually wonder if it's going to be the states along the northern border that are going to do something.
libby emmons
Well, they should do something too.
hannah claire brimelow
Right.
They're seeing a wave of immigration as well.
I mean, at a certain point, it's a danger to people.
Canadian?
libby emmons
Yeah, the Canadian border's not doing well either.
hannah claire brimelow
Because people will fly to Canada and cross the northern border.
libby emmons
Oh, wow.
The other thing too is a lot of what's going on in terms of family separation and just releasing migrant kids and releasing the people who travel with migrant kids creating essentially a golden ticket for adults who bring kids across the border.
It's not a law.
It's a judge.
It's a Flores settlement that went through in 1987 and then has been consistently challenged and back and forth where I think it was It was under the Obama administration, there was this Judge Gee in, or maybe it's Gee, in California who said that since, because of the Flores Settlement says that you have to release immigrant children, illegal immigrant children without any real delay, that meant that you also have to release the adults that came with them.
So it created this golden ticket situation where the Border Patrol, the DHS, is required to release children under this agreement.
And if they're releasing children, they have to release the adults too.
And that's actually how the family separation thing happened.
Because under Obama, it was like, okay, you have to release illegal immigrant children.
So let's separate them so that we can release the children and detain the adults that came with them.
And then that was changed.
So, I don't know why everyone's holding to this ruling by a radical judge.
Why is that what's being upheld?
It's pretty weird.
dom lucre
I think we're about to start seeing a lot of positive domino effects.
From the last about 12 years, we've seen a negativity of domino effects and nothing, I don't care what someone does with their sexuality, but there has been a downward spiral in America after Obama legalized homosexual marriage.
At first, I do distinctly remember the LGBTQ community simply only asking for the right to be married.
After that they started asking for representation in television and it went from television to kid TV shows and Went from kid TV shows to going to preschools and etc.
So it's a domino effect of just legalizing the marriage itself or even well It wasn't Obama was a Supreme Court.
tim pool
Yeah, but it was in the over Yeah, it was Obergefell the decision yeah, I look the domino effect the slippery slope these things aren't are real they happen and so Everything we're seeing now with Texas on the border, I want to make sure it's clear.
I'm not actually predicting anything.
I'm saying, if X, then Y. And what I said several months ago is, if Texas is arguing that the federal government has abandoned them, sooner or later they're going to send law enforcement to go and do this themselves.
Well, then they did.
It's not so much that I'm saying, like, I have a vision, I see this.
There's multiple things that could happen here.
Federal government going to lawsuit, Texas backs down.
We have no idea.
But we can say, these things all move in one direction.
So we're going to see Texas, now they're making arrests.
Sooner or later, we're going to see the federal government retaliate in some way.
You have no authority to detain these people.
Could it escalate to the most extreme?
What if the federal authorities go to local jails and bring guns and say, transfer these people into our custody?
Texas says, no, you're going to release them into our state.
And the federal government says, we don't care what you think, release them now into our custody.
These things could happen.
libby emmons
But they don't have any jurisdiction over state prisons.
They only have jurisdiction over the federal.
tim pool
The argument is that the state has no jurisdiction over illegal immigration.
So the federal government would be saying, you have illegally detained people that are under our jurisdiction.
libby emmons
Could you really see Biden's DHS being like, we're going to get the guns?
All they know is lawfare.
That's what they do consistently.
tim pool
I don't know.
Perhaps it's very, very simple, and the answer is no, the federal government backs down.
If that's the case, other states are going to say that the federal government is impotent and incapable of enforcing any laws.
libby emmons
And how many times have they backed down, truthfully?
dom lucre
I sure hope so.
How many times can I remember, like, can we remember in recorded history?
libby emmons
The federal government backing down?
dom lucre
Yeah, our government backing down.
tim pool
I remember, like, Ruby Ridge.
You know, I remember the federal government refusing to back down to such a degree, they kill a bunch of kids in a... At Waco, yeah.
And Waco as well, yeah.
So, I don't... I suppose the issue here is that we're dealing with state law enforcement versus federal, but again, 1860.
Right?
1861, more precisely.
Ideally, and hopefully, Donald Trump gets elected.
He then goes to Texas and says, our forces are at your disposal.
And then there's no longer animosity and there's no longer a clash.
But right now, the Biden administration is facilitating an invasion and facilitating illegal immigration and human smuggling.
Texas is trying to do its best to stop the criminal activity of the Biden administration, but only insofar as it affects their state.
Sooner or later, we have to reconcile with this country that the Biden administration is a criminal enterprise facilitating human smuggling and they've been doing it for years.
libby emmons
They have been.
It's like 10 million people.
tim pool
They're flying children on planes.
They are smuggling to such an extreme degree.
They're trafficking children.
libby emmons
Yeah, from Venezuela and all over the place.
Yeah, it's interesting too because you have the Democrats freaking out when Trump says that there's going to be a mass deportation event and people are going to be held before they're deported.
And then you have Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, saying, you know what we're going to do because there's all this crime around the illegal immigrant shelters?
We're going to put in curfews at these shelters.
And it's like, so you're making a detention camp for migrants where they can't leave, right?
That's what you're doing.
Eric Adams is going to do it.
And one thing that's interesting, too, is we see that happening a lot with Democrat mayors, where they are forced to use the same tactics that everyone's decrying.
What's his name?
Johnson in Chicago as well.
dom lucre
I wonder how extensive their motives for getting to the country is.
I know they also dig to go from underground and come back up.
I just wonder how organized they have it now.
libby emmons
It's very organized because all they have to do is show up and they're let in.
Like, who needs a tunnel?
They're just gonna open the door.
You see Border Patrol putting ladders up to help people climb over.
tim pool
There's a video of Border Patrol opening the gate and letting them in.
libby emmons
On to private property too.
hannah claire brimelow
Because they'll say it's too dangerous, like we have to help them because otherwise they might fall and hurt themselves.
tim pool
I want to see Texas National Guards start arresting the CBP guys.

It'd be interesting.
I mean, I think it's more likely that the federal agents, I would like to see them defect to the state level.
I would like to see them leave their jobs.
I mean, obviously they work in an industry, you know, if your expertise is working on the border, just go to the agency that's actually enforcing the law.
tim pool
I do not understand how there are men and women in law enforcement in the state of Texas Who are actually on the ground dealing with this every day, and they have not reached the point where they're just like, we gotta start arresting these feds.
They are human traffickers.
I don't care if they're wearing a badge.
They're human traffickers, and they're armed.
It's time to start arresting them for facilitating human trafficking.
libby emmons
It is human trafficking directly.
And the cartels advertise on TikTok and Facebook.
And there was just a story that we were looking at the other day, Taylor Hanson did it, where it turns out that Catholic charities contracted cops in San Antonio to facilitate human trafficking.
tim pool
Watch Taylor Hanson's reporting on Tenet Media.
We have the Culture War show tomorrow morning on Tenet Media.
But Taylor Hanson has uncovered a lot Police officers using public equipment to facilitate human trafficking?
I mean, dude, it is insane.
I just don't understand.
I really don't.
We are watching abject evil.
This is not like a cop took a bribe.
These are police officers in their vehicles using public equipment to protect and facilitate human smuggling operations.
This is not me being cute.
Human trafficking?
Okay, strong language.
Human smuggling?
Definitively.
100%.
There was a story I pulled up from the DOJ from several years ago, where two guys in the military went to prison for transporting illegal aliens.
We now have the entirety of the Biden administration facilitating the whole DHS.
And I'm just, okay, I get it.
Perhaps Texas briefed their guys and said, guys, we gotta do this one very, very carefully to avoid dramatic escalation, but here's the move we're gonna make.
If I was in Texas Sheriff's Department or National Guard or whatever, I'd just be, I'd just walk up to a CBP guy and be like, put your hands behind your back.
I don't care.
I'm just, you know what, man?
People always make excuses for cops.
Always make excuses.
They say, oh, you know, cops can't choose what law to enforce.
Okay, if that was the case, all of these guys would be in jail in Texas the moment a CBP... Look, let me ask you guys something.
If you're in a cartel gang and you're seen driving around a cartel vehicle and you're armed, do you think the cops are gonna go, well, he's not doing anything, so I'm gonna leave him alone.
Or do you think they're gonna be like, that's a cartel vehicle, and that guy's got a gun!
We're gonna pull him over and investigate, this is cartel activity.
Yeah, uh, if you were part of like, let's say Al-Qaeda.
A big ISIS truck with an ISIS flag is driving through Texas, and a bunch of guys with guns are mounted on the back.
Do you think the cops are going to be like, I can't really enforce anything against these guys?
They're at the very least going to investigate and say probable cause, ISIS is a terrorist organization, so that gives us the probable cause right to stop them.
Turns out, you have rights to keep and bear arms, you have a right to free speech, we've got something interesting going on here.
But terrorist organizations are aligned.
unidentified
If.
tim pool
Local law enforcement at state level knows that all of the CBP and federal law enforcement have been facilitating cartel activity and human smuggling.
For what reason do they decide, I'm not going to even stop and question these guys?
It is because they're like, well, he's wearing a badge.
Yeah, if a clown walked up to you wearing a badge, I'd say screw off.
At a certain point, we need the law to be enforced.
They're doing it, I can respect it, but I don't see why they're giving a free pass to the criminals in the Biden administration who've been facilitating this.
libby emmons
I agree.
That's why I think that it's so bizarre that you won't even have the Republicans in Congress bring up the potential impeachment against Mayorkas.
MTG keeps saying, like, let's impeach Alejandro Mayorkas.
He's destroying our border.
hannah claire brimelow
They're holding hearings right now.
libby emmons
Yeah, they're holding hearings, but they haven't they haven't gone for it.
And I don't know why.
They could have had him out of office, you know, 10 months ago.
They could have had him in office a year ago.
Yeah, it's happened.
hannah claire brimelow
I think it's happened at least four times.
libby emmons
They can't get a vote on it.
hannah claire brimelow
I don't know why.
I mean, it just seems like the most obvious thing.
I also don't understand why, in a show of good faith, the Biden administration wouldn't be like, okay, Mayorkas, you gotta step down because we have angered everyone.
Because they want it.
But they could fake you out with like, oh, well, we listened to you.
We're trying to compromise.
Because their thing always is Republicans aren't willing to compromise.
We just heard this from JB Pritzker the other day.
He was like, He put that complaint to Abbott in the newspaper.
libby emmons
You mean when he begged Greg Abbott to stop sending illegal immigrants to Illinois?
hannah claire brimelow
Yes, he was like, stop sending them because you don't respect humanity and I can't believe you would do this and it's cold here.
So agree to a bipartisan solution, right?
They are always saying Republicans are the ones who aren't willing to compromise when for Republicans this is a hard issue.
You have to close the border.
libby emmons
You have to close the border.
And it's interesting that you had Chuck Schumer saying that there would be no border deal without money for Ukraine.
It's like that makes absolutely no sense.
hannah claire brimelow
It's crazy.
tim pool
Well, my friends, there is a solution before us.
In this story from the Postmillennial, Teen Vogue says Biden and Democrats are losing Gen Z support, claims they may not vote at all.
I'm sure all the Republicans would absolutely accept either they don't vote or they vote for Trump.
Now we have this from Vox.com.
What Democrats panic Over young voters misses.
Okay, sure, whatever.
The point is, even Vox is acknowledging Democrats are starting to freak out because more and more polls are coming out that somehow a 77-year-old Republican white man has garnered majority support among the youth vote.
It has been throughout my life.
The youth vote is always a bunch of naive young Democrats.
libby emmons
That's how we got Obama.
tim pool
Yeah, Obama's like, you vote for me!
I'm gonna not blow kids up!
And then I was like, okay, sounds good to me.
And then as soon as he got in, he was like, huh, psych!
Blow them up!
Too many of them.
dom lucre
I can believe it.
It's super believable because I just see a lot of the young kids, their whole like, their whole culture is like based.
Like I see a lot of them, just the most average kid, they like being base and being base is kind of like being what conservatives would consider like, you know, not well, not unhinged, but they really don't give a F about what they say.
It's the most off the wall things that's considered base liberals would not approve of.
And the majority of the youth like base culture.
tim pool
There's this video of a young woman where she's looking in the mirror, holding up her phone, and she's talking about, like, oh, you got offended because I said something?
Well, that's too effing bad.
libby emmons
I love that you shared that.
tim pool
Yeah, it went viral.
Young kids are seeing that kind of content, Mocking the Woke, going viral.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
They want to get followers.
I watched one video where some of it's super cringe.
I'm sorry, guys.
I get it.
You're young.
You're trying to find your shtick.
And it's like this one dude, every single video is him sitting in his car screaming.
libby emmons
I like that guy, and he sounds like Gilbert Gottfried.
tim pool
I think that's funny.
just like, WHY IS IT THAT ALL OF MY- And I'm like, okay, I get it.
unidentified
It's like he's- people are trying to- Do you mean the guy that sounds like Gilbert Gottfried?
tim pool
It might be, I don't know. But it's like a younger guy.
They're all trying to find their shtick. And so he does this thing.
Where he's like, why is everything so expensive?
Yeah.
Yeah, what's happening?
And he's like, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat.
And I'm like, you're Republican.
The moment you say, I am not a Republican or a Democrat.
You're a Republican.
That's those are the rules.
I didn't make them up.
libby emmons
Unless you're Oliver Anthony.
And then you're just irrelevant all of a sudden.
tim pool
Yeah, that was interesting.
libby emmons
Right?
He's just, I mean, talk about one hit wonder.
tim pool
Well, he actually had a handful of really great songs.
libby emmons
Yeah, I mean, they were not bad songs.
tim pool
I think the issue with him, and he's probably still enjoying a lot of success, look, just because, you know, the one song was the biggest song in the world at the time, he found a stable base of support, and you just don't see him because you're not a country music folk fan.
hannah claire brimelow
And he had, like, a baby and stuff too, right?
Like, he might not be as active as he used to be.
tim pool
Sure, but I will say this.
He was really just a regular guy who did not understand that when he came out saying, like, I'm not, you know, political, he was telling all of the people who promoted him, back off.
So, congratulations.
libby emmons
We all backed off, for sure.
hannah claire brimelow
Also, Democrats are always like, I am progressive, I am a feminist.
Like, they want you to know what their labels are.
libby emmons
Because they have to be activists for their whole, every aspect of their lives.
hannah claire brimelow
And they wear it as their whole identity, right?
Whereas, like, you think for yourself, you might lean sort of conservative, you might think of yourself as a libertarian.
If you have to look at me and say like, oh, well, I'm not either one, then you're already not in the pool of people who probably hate you.
dom lucre
Well, and the thing, too, with the with you were going to say something, I was just going to say, I think these polls kind of also exemplify the amount of propaganda that Democrats push out, because in the summer of 2023, I don't know if you remember, One of the main things they were pushing in their campaigns was Joe Biden had a lot of the Gen Z behind him.
He was hiring a lot of Democrat influencers as well, like Harry Sisson, and other young ones, Chris Murray, and like this black guy.
So it was like eight young influencers came out of nowhere in the summer.
All of them had the same message, almost copy and paste, say, Gen Z loves Joe Biden.
Gen Z loves Joe Biden.
They would do it about two times every three days.
And they just started to vanish off.
You could see that their Audience has just withered away so I can definitely see they were pushing that propaganda super hard because they probably had these numbers before the general public Yeah, and it's just so much it's just propaganda and it was they were huge when they came out right and it seems like okay Maybe Biden do have Gen Z and it just shows I mean I think these polls just a few Months after the summer should just show people to give it some time over anything that the Democrats say
hannah claire brimelow
You think Biden was basically trying to convince Jeff?
dom lucre
He was trying to convince them because I think they had those numbers.
I think with the resources that Biden has, he was tipped off that, hey, it ain't looking good for Gen Z. And that's why they brought Harry and all the other propaganda.
And it still didn't work.
He was getting ratio nonstop.
It was sad.
libby emmons
You know, some of it has to do with the Gaza thing.
tim pool
Trump is one of the most punk rock presidents we've had in a really long time.
And what I mean by that is clearly he is not punk rock in the purest sense of what punk rock is.
What I mean is the fact that he's willing to insult people on TV, make fun of people for being fat, he's punk rock in the sense of screw you, you know, and you know what's really funny?
dom lucre
Base.
tim pool
Base, right?
Exactly.
Go back to 1990.
Donald Trump is the embodiment of F you, I won't do what you tell me.
And rage on behalf of the machine has become the F you, you better do what we tell you.
So, I kind of imagine if you're a young person and you had all these people telling you to be woke or else, and then Donald Trump is laughing and just pointing at the fat kid and making fun of him, you're like, that's fun.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Silly, irreverent, I can do what I want to do, leave me alone.
dom lucre
Democrat somehow has created their own problem.
It's sad just through censorship and the forcing of all the ideologies.
It just isn't natural.
These kids, they've got common sense.
libby emmons
And they hate it.
Their teachers push this, definitely.
When you have teachers pushing pride ribbons on everybody and teachers saying, like, let's all discuss our pronouns.
dom lucre
And you can't joke about it?
hannah claire brimelow
Imagine being a kid and you can't joke about that.
unidentified
That's crazy.
libby emmons
Fastest way to make it uncool.
Kids don't think that what their teachers want to do is cool.
No.
My son came home with some stupid assignment about how you have to, the assignment was to do a biography of a scientist that was not white or male.
hannah claire brimelow
He was like, white male, that's who we're doing.
libby emmons
And I was like, what the hell is this?
And he was like, I don't know, mom, this is so stupid.
tim pool
In New York or West Virginia?
libby emmons
West Virginia, Tim.
tim pool
I've been saying, Cassandra's been warning about this.
This is why it's so important what we're trying to do with West Virginia and Martinsburg because these woke leftists are, it's a cult, and they move in, lie about their views, get elected to positions, and then start injecting this stuff into the schools.
libby emmons
That's right.
There was another thing that happened a little bit before winter break where a group came in to talk about suicide prevention and started handing out the number for the Trevor Project.
The Trevor Project, which is like, we're gonna trans your kids, yay!
You know, that's their whole jam!
hannah claire brimelow
Because that's who they think is committing suicide when actually it's young white males who are committing suicide, right?
The group that the Trevor Project probably wants to isolate or alter, you know, fundamentally.
I think that's the craziest thing.
We can acknowledge that suicide is a huge problem, but when you look at the numbers, they don't want to talk about who's actually committing suicide.
And that's sad.
That's right.
libby emmons
And it is, yeah, and it is mostly like young men.
And it's terrifying because, you know, we need our young men.
dom lucre
I find it extremely concerning that the Democratic audience don't really talk about the suicide rates of transgenders when they are the main people that enable them.
I mean, you would think they would care about all aspects of their health.
tim pool
Well, this is one of the most important things that I think needs to be talked about in the whole issue of the gender ideology stuff.
The first thing I'll say is with the news being Sean Strickland, that what the woke left has done, Pink News for instance, they said that Sean Strickland said being trans is an infection.
He quite literally didn't.
He said the weak man, who is an ally, is an infection.
He didn't say anything about trans people.
He was actually talking about the journalist.
But the issue I see is, what I was saying earlier, is I got no issue with trans people.
I have an issue with people who are pushing people towards dangerous medical practices, or pseudo-medical practices, which can result in a loss of life.
So, for instance, When we had Lance from the Surf's On, I said that I believe there is a trans genocide, and it's the left that is pushing it.
And I stand by that.
They're trying to sterilize, or the things they're offering up to trans people to a great degree, sterilize them, and that will prevent them from having children.
Genocide doesn't just mean you go and you kill a bunch of people.
One component of genocide would be to sterilize them.
Mass sterilization and eugenics.
And so what's happening now is you have a young person who's suffering gender dysphoria, and they immediately jump to, let's give them irreversible drugs and surgery, which will prevent them from having families in the future.
It seems like for whatever reason they want to do this, maybe it's because they're misguided, maybe it's because they're evil.
But as you referenced suicide, the point I made was, if the suicide rate of individuals suffering from gender dysphoria is around 48%, I believe, right?
Is that the number?
40 to 50%.
But the desistance rate At best, for trans children, is 65%.
It could be as high as 95% or whatever.
That would mean that Democrats are increasing the probability of suicide in children.
Because if you leave the child alone, there's a two-to-one chance they desist and puberty cures the mother dysphoria.
They then push them to transition, giving them a 50-50 chance of dying, which means the greater chance of survival is leave them alone.
This is according to the studies that are available right now from the major academic institutions.
Why then are they pushing it?
I think they're evil.
hannah claire brimelow
And they make money off of it, right?
It's more effective to have someone who's suffering and dependent on the medical system.
I think, ultimately, it's... They need... Create new victims.
unidentified
Right!
hannah claire brimelow
And if... Like, we're talking about teenagers being defiant, so if you're a teenager who goes through surgery, who goes through whatever, your body's permanently disfigured, some might come out and say, like, no, this is wrong, but a lot of them will just suffer, but then also feel threatened and say, like, no, no, no, you guys don't understand, I just have to keep trying, I have to keep pushing, it becomes this thing and they are...
Trying to build people who will eventually support this movement because they know that to admit that they were wrong is ultimately to say that they have made the worst decision someone could make.
dom lucre
And admitting you wrong, I mean, I mean, the opposite is the opposite of submission is not even admitting it.
So that is a submissive type of person that they're building regardless, because if they can't stand for themselves, they're submitting.
libby emmons
It is a low suicide rate, even in the trans community.
A study, this is from Lou R. Sapir in the City Journal, which I've referenced a bunch of times from last spring, a UK study found that the suicide rate among clinic-referred transgender-identified youth was 0.03%, or four deaths out of 15,000 gender-distressed minors.
In the US, where between 2.1% and 9.1% of youth now identify as trans, And where rates of diagnosis of gender dysphoria have skyrocketed, we are told the numbers of trans kids have always existed.
In which case, why haven't we seen a suicide epidemic?
tim pool
Now, what's the suicide rate for trans adults?
libby emmons
I don't know.
tim pool
You want to pull that one up because either we're dealing with false statistics, the argument being that suicide rates are really high and that's what we're trying to prevent.
That's what Jack Dorsey said to me on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Or the issue is that kids who are suffering from gender dysphoria have an extremely low suicide rate and the argument for them to receive this surgery or medication is based on a false premise.
libby emmons
It says, uh, this is the Williams Institute.
I'm not super familiar with this side of UCLA.
It says 44 reported suicidal ideation, 7% suicide attempt, and 21% non-suicidal self-injury over their lifetime.
tim pool
Well, what's the percentage?
What's the suicide percentage?
libby emmons
Forty-two percent have attempted it.
Fifty-six percent have engaged in non-suicidal suicide.
tim pool
We'll clarify then.
Attempted suicide is at 42% for trans adults, meaning these kids don't, if that data is correct.
These kids are not trying to do this.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
But if they become adults, that actually is the point I'm making.
You are increasing the likelihood they will attempt suicide by putting them through these transitions.
libby emmons
Yeah.
Also, it doesn't really—Leor Sapir makes another argument about the way that the data is collected as being also a problem.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I would believe that.
tim pool
Well, we should—we'll jump to this story.
We have a tweet from the man himself, Sean Strickland.
who has been lighting up the internet as he's preparing for his fight at UFC 297 this Saturday.
Super excited, everybody should be watching this fight, it's gonna be amazing.
It's gonna be a lot of fun, I'm very excited.
He said, Hate speech isn't real, I didn't know I was fighting in
North Korea.
And he posted this video, Sean is for the people.
Aw man, you gotta hear this.
unidentified
But when have you ever seen a UFC champion,
Pierre, or anybody else, stick up for you fucking guys.
I fucking do it.
I do it.
I am not chasing the Chinese check mark of Nike.
tim pool
I don't give a f**k about that.

I care about you guys.
I care about you guys being free.
I care about you guys having freedom of speech.
I give a f**k about you guys.
And I'll tell you what, you guys are f**king awesome and I cannot wait for this man to f**king go to war for you f**king guys.
Let's go!
tim pool
No, they're cheering.
He's wearing a shirt.
It's got the Canadian maple leaf.
It says Strickland.
It says, Make Canada Great Again.
This guy's a warrior, man.
I see a lot of people posting after his previous comments, this is how you push back on the machine.
He's the big ask.
He is the pendulum swing.
And it's epic.
So I say we should be supporting him.
And that does bring up an interesting issue of Bud Light.
Bud Light is on the verge of collapse.
Did you guys know this?
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
The strike.
You heard about the strike coming up?
libby emmons
No, there's a strike too.
tim pool
Yeah, and someone even super chatted saying that earlier in the show they said they work at a Bud Light bottling plant and the strike is absolutely going to happen.
Some reports are saying there will be no beer on the shelves come March.
You look, Bud Light doesn't want Anheuser.
They don't want to give people raises.
They don't want to give them the guarantees they're asking for.
They've abandoned the negotiations.
I wonder why it is they're backing away from the negotiations.
Could it be that they're down 30% in sales?
dom lucre
I think it really shows that conservatives have buying power.
Real true buying power at a level that we haven't seen in a long time.
tim pool
Maybe it's not so much the issue is conservative anymore.
It's that regular people stopped buying the product.
hannah claire brimelow
I think that's a big part of it.
I think there are people who are active in politics and took part in the boycott because they believe in it and they got caught in the mood, but I think there were a lot of people who just said, like, this is going too far and I don't like it anymore.
dom lucre
Just the most, well, the most standard American.
hannah claire brimelow
Right, the standard American.
And I think that's almost more impressive because they're harder to reach.
I mean, this is what any kind of political strategist will tell you, trying to get someone Who's not that engaged, who's moderate, to go out to the polls is impossible.
But they're all voting with their dollar this way.
And it's not necessarily for party, it's against ideology.
And I find that really kind of inspirational going into the next year.
tim pool
It's going to be wild if there's no Bud Light come March.
Like, the strike happens and, dude, you combine the boycott.
Right now, with everything Sean Strickland is saying, Bud Light's in the hot seat.
Because you've got, you know, Pink News running these articles saying that he called trans people an infection, which he didn't.
But he said, I'll tell you about Bud Light.
Bud Light's gonna have to say something.
But I think the woke left are gonna try everything in their power to avoid this fight.
But more importantly, you combine the drop in sales with the workers being upset they're not making enough money and not getting the guarantees they want, they stop making the beer.
What happens if they stop making the beer?
Nobody's buying the beer.
What happens if no one buys the beer?
You stop making the beer.
libby emmons
Yeah, so then the strike would be the final nail in the coffin.
tim pool
Could you imagine if Bud Light just went belly up?
dom lucre
That would be crazy.
libby emmons
And it would be all from Dylan Mulvaney.
tim pool
I will say this right now.
hannah claire brimelow
And it's like an old historic American company.
I mean, that's really fascinating to me.
libby emmons
Well, isn't it owned by Anheuser?
It's Anheuser-Busch, right?
hannah claire brimelow
Anheuser-Busch is like, it's all based in St.
unidentified
Louis.
tim pool
If Bud Light goes, as a brand, goes completely under, I'll make this broad, I'll make this broad.
If Bud Light, as a brand, I don't think Anheuser-Busch, but Bud Light goes belly up.
And they're just out like, the Bud Light brand is done.
Or, in a much broader sense, If Bud Light drops off as a major brand,
such though that it appears more like an ancillary brand no one really pays attention to.
I'm being very broad with this to mean like, if Bud Light is wiped out of the top market share,
I will write a check for $10,000 to the charity of Matt Walsh's choice
for telling me I was wrong on my Bud Light boy composition.
So, if, so, because look, the strike that's happening now, I believe is a product of the boycott.
People aren't getting paid enough.
They're getting angry they're not getting paid enough.
Bud Light can't pay them more.
Ditches the negotiating table.
And they're probably saying, we can't pay people more.
Sales are down 30%.
And the employees are like, then we're going to go on strike.
There's a possibility they just go, you know what?
Bud Light's dead.
And if that happens, Okay, I will write a check to a charity of Matt Walsh's choice.
Shout out Matt Walsh.
He's like, no, boycott's still on.
My point was we should declare victory and put pressure on Bud Light to adhere to our worldview and our framing of the things.
I still think that's true.
Like with Sean Strickland coming out and saying these things, my point is to clap and cheer for Bud Light, saying thank you, Bud Light, for sponsoring UFC and Sean Strickland's message.
To force them to publicly speak Either in favor or against it, once again, creating a ripple effect in the boycott.
Now, that being said, if all we had to do was sit back and just completely ignore them, and that would result in the cascade effect of a strike and then a collapse, I will admit I'm wrong and I will make a donation to a charity of Matt Walsh's choice.

The idea that you would hire Snoop Dogg to sell outdoor equipment is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

It was horrible. It was horrible.
It was horrible because of the engagement. It took over the internet in terms of sales and engagement. It just fell.

So I bring this up because Victoria's Secret is like, we're going to sell lingerie using big fat models and ugly women.
And then all of a sudden, nobody wanted to buy their products anymore.
And it's because women and men want to look at attractive models and think, I can be like that if I buy this product.
libby emmons
That's why you buy stuff.
You buy stuff because you're like, oh, I want, I mean, they already did that.
The advertising companies already told us, when you buy our product, you have access to this lifestyle.
And no one wants access to the lifestyle of being unable to get off your couch because your butt's too big.
tim pool
But it's not that, like Victoria's Secret in particular, right?
You've got all these big, fat models and ugly women, and the average woman who's... And Megan Rapinoe, too.
Right.
So, yes.
So first, the woman who is buying Victoria's Secret, I imagine, I could be wrong, but I imagine is thinking, I want to be attractive to my husband, to my significant other.
Here's this beautiful woman.
She looks at that and says, wow, I could look like her if I buy that lingerie or whatever.
And then she buys it.
The man sees that woman and goes, yeah, my wife could look like that.
I'm going to buy it.
dom lucre
Yes.
tim pool
Then you put a big fat woman on the wall and the regular one looks at it and says, I don't want to look like that.
hannah claire brimelow
It's beyond lingerie.
They'll use, you know, all kinds of models, whatever.
And I'm not always against this, but the thing is, if you're looking at an ad and something doesn't look good on someone, whether it be lingerie or a shirt or a skirt, I'm not gonna buy it because it doesn't look good on them.
dom lucre
It's like selling Viagra and having the models being depressed.
You know, they're always super happy, like extremely excited.
hannah claire brimelow
If they're having a bad time, you're like, well, thank you.
libby emmons
There's a thing, too, where when you're buying clothes online, you can check and see, and it'll show you a model who's wearing any of the sizes, right?
And the further you go up, you're like, oh, if I have to buy that size, I'm not buying this, because that looks terrible, you know?
hannah claire brimelow
No, for sure.
I mean, it almost works to the consumer's favor, being like, maybe I should just skip buying stuff.
libby emmons
Save my money.
I probably have stuff that looks good in my closet right now.
tim pool
Man, I'll be really excited if Bud Light goes on strike and they just don't make any.
libby emmons
They just tank.
tim pool
Yeah, because, look, I talked about Fusion quite a bit.
I mentioned this even, like, last week.
I think I mentioned it the other day.
I had a friend, worked at Fusion, which is the ABC News Univision joint venture, all operating on investment.
Yeah, this was, like, last night.
And they were announcing negotiations to unionize.
And I told my friend, you'll get fired in two seconds because your company does not make money.
The moment you walk up to the president and say, all 300 employees want a 10% raise, he's going to say, you're fired.
I'm shutting the company down because you don't make money.
These people at Bud Light who are like, we're gonna go on strike.
The boss is going, you guys are not selling any product, okay?
We are down 30%.
We're not giving you more money.
And if they say, then we won't make any beer.
Then they're like, okay, well, then we're done.
That's the end.
I can't imagine they would want to abandon Bud Light as a brand, because it's such a long-standing iconic product.
But at this point, I kind of think it's entirely possible with the upcoming strike, the perfect storm hits and they just say, it's going to cost us $20 million to try and recover the lost product from the strike.
The brand is already down 30%.
It's being mocked relentlessly.
We're not getting our customers back.
Just stop the bleed.
Stop throwing good money at bad.
libby emmons
It's imagine being that marketing manager who pulled the Dylan Mulvaney stunt and then got fired.
She's never going to get a job again.
tim pool
Oh, they're going to she's going to be in marketing like college courses.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
The great failure.
libby emmons
The great failure.
Because she clearly didn't have an understanding of the brand at all.
tim pool
There's that Quiznos commercial that no one ever forgot of the weird chinchilla things.
libby emmons
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Screeching.
And you might be a little too young.
hannah claire brimelow
And I was like, aw man, I sure was not allowed to watch TV growing up.
tim pool
I'll pull it up.
Quiznos.
hannah claire brimelow
I wasn't actually honest for clarification.
I just had strict parents.
tim pool
I bet all I have to do is search for Quiznos commercial.
Sponge Monkeys.
Here, look, look at this.
This thing right here.
unidentified
What?
dom lucre
Yes, that's a muscle conscious.
unidentified
This was Make Advertising Great Again!
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, this is just great!
tim pool
It was a massively successful advertising campaign, and they teach about it in marketing courses as to why it worked, why it was so good, why everyone loved it.
And I think, you know who they really hit with this?
Midnight stoners, hungry, and they're like, And they're just staring at it like, what?
But the real issue- The children!
hannah claire brimelow
Children saw this and were like, hilarious, let's go.
tim pool
It's a lot, it's a lot.
It's that no one would forget it.
You watch it and you're like, what the?
Did I just watch?
They used to do this thing back in the day where in magazines, there's like a famous example
of what they would do with ads is a woman, like a teenage girl on a swing, and she has three legs.
One, two legs are going forward, and there's a third leg going backwards.
libby emmons
Creepy.
tim pool
They would do a ton of things like this so that when you were flipping through,
it would catch your attention.
hannah claire brimelow
Oh, like you double take and look at it longer.
tim pool
Yup, and so this is exactly that.
So, you know, with Bud Light, maybe, They were like, remember the Quiznos creepy sponge monkey
unidentified
thing?
libby emmons
You're giving them way too much credit.
tim pool
No, no, hold on, hear me out.
Someone, that lady, publicly she goes, we want diversity in Bud Light.
Behind the scenes she's like, remember that creepy weird thing Quiznos did?
Let's hire Dylan Mulvaney!
libby emmons
Oh man, he's a weird chinchilla.
tim pool
Maybe they were thinking that creating some kind of shock content would generate massive buzz and attention.
I bet they were thinking controversy good.
hannah claire brimelow
I feel like they just took their core audience for, or their core consumers for granted.
They said, we can do whatever and they'll buy it no matter what, so we might as well just push to get a really progressive audience in here.
dom lucre
Didn't that start initially like in February?
The Mulvaney thing?
libby emmons
Yeah.
dom lucre
If it did, that really should show the people that it only takes about 12 months, no matter how powerful the brand is, if them really like getting their pockets hit, it takes a real toll.
libby emmons
The Mulvaney was already very distasteful to a lot of people at the time he ended up with Bud Light.
Mulvaney ended up at the White House talking to Joe Biden about how important it is to make sex changes for kids.
Why are you talking about this?
You want the guy who's pushing for kids to have sex changes to boost your beer?
That doesn't make any sense.
hannah claire brimelow
It's super weird.
libby emmons
And I think even people who... A lot of beer drinkers want grandkids.
hannah claire brimelow
A lot of them do.
It's one of their main concerns.
They open a beer and they're like, but what if I have a grandkid?
libby emmons
That's what I do.
tim pool
So let's jump to this story from the Post Millennial, which is currently loading.
Here we go.
Resurfaced footage shows United CEO performing Lady Gaga drag routine at company Halloween party.
Okay.
For a variety of reasons, I am going to hereby announce, where possible, TimCast will no longer use United for any of its travel.
I mean it.
So, we book, I think we have 1.5 flights per day for this show.
And so, the reason it's 1.5 is that...
Guest flies in, same day guest flies out.
So that actually, I think we might be doing two per day.
Two flights per day.
Not 1.5, two per day.
And one or two on the weekends.
And then Pop Culture Crisis has a guest on the weekends.
We don't book flights for every single guest.
Some people come from DC.
It's one of the reasons we chose to be in the area because a lot of higher profile political commentators are local.
Some people who live in like Philly can drive down.
It's only a couple hours.
So there's a wide range of areas that we're in, but typically we're flying people out every day.
And I have already instructed the staff.
I said, is it possible for us to completely ditch United Airlines?
And we believe it is.
I want to be careful in how I describe this because when you're dealing with something as big as an airline, when there's actually very few, it may not be possible in some circumstances to say we won't use United.
That's why I say where possible.
However, I'm pretty sure American Airlines operates in all the exact same areas.
That being said, The challenge with any kind of boycott is that you know American Airlines, Delta, and all these brands are doing the exact same garbage.
The issue here is that the CEO himself has advocated for illegal activities.
That's right.
Ill- Committing crimes.
The CEO of United has advocated for hiring on the basis of race, which is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
That's illegal.
And so long as this company has a guy doing a drag Lady Gaga routine where he celebrates breaking the law and being racist, we are not going to utilize their airline.
Now I know, I know.
In 10 seconds, someone's going to point at American Airlines, and they're going to say, look at all these bad things they're doing.
And to which I say, OK, Spirit Airlines it is!
You know, but I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow
Some of our guests are like, we don't want to go anymore.
We'll pay for our own travel.
dom lucre
It's funny, I was looking at the United thing, and I said this morning, I even tweeted, I said, I don't really feel that safe no more, being on airplanes after seeing that.
hannah claire brimelow
It's a rough time for air travel.
libby emmons
It's kind of wacky.
dom lucre
It is, isn't it?
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, like- I'm very nervous.
dom lucre
The all-female, like, black flight crew, it's like, man, that just don't look right, man.
It's not right.
I want a man at the front of it.
Honestly, I don't care.
hannah claire brimelow
I want the doors to stay on the plane.
My standards are crazy high.
dom lucre
It'll sound racist and it'll sound kind of coonish, but honestly I'm safer feeling if there's a white man flying my plane only because every time I've flown it's been a white pilot.
I like what I'm used to.
It's what I'm used to.
tim pool
The issue here is these diversity hire practices make people, they exacerbate racism.
dom lucre
Yeah.
tim pool
Because if you say we are going to hire lower on the ladder to be diverse, the assumption then is the pilot you have who's not white must be not as skilled.
dom lucre
Yes.
tim pool
And that's not fair.
Could you imagine being like the best pilot in the world and you're black, but then everyone's like, yeah, he's probably not that good.
I'll be like, come on, man!
Like, I worked my ass off for this, and then these far leftists come in and start making the claim that everyone's got to hire lower down on the talent pool.
They're making the problem worse.
libby emmons
There was a Gallup poll that said 52% of black Americans oppose affirmative action.
And they like the affirmative action ban that the Supreme Court did.
I hate Democrats, man.
tim pool
Democrats talk to black people.
The Yale study, remember this one?
libby emmons
Yes, they talk down to people, they talk down to black people.
tim pool
But talk down, is that like the right way to phrase it?
They dumb down their language and act stupid when they're talking to black people.
dom lucre
They've conditioned us to think that way and speak that way.
They've made out our language, that dumb down slang type language, that simpler type terms.
The non-political verbiage, really.
libby emmons
Like when they were pushing Ebonics?
dom lucre
Yeah.
unidentified
Look at this.
tim pool
This is from 2018.
White liberals dumb themselves down when they speak to black people in news that he contends.
I despise these people so much.
libby emmons
I mean, I think that's definitely true.
Just having been in lefty circles for my entire life that I think that's definitely true.
I had a friend tell me that she preferred the racism of the South to the racism of the North.
She was like, at least in the South, You know that they're racist, they say that they're racist, then they treat you normally.
In the North, they say they're not racist, and then they're racist at you.
hannah claire brimelow
But then the Scientific American ran this article this year saying black children who speak African American English are routinely misdiagnosed with speech disorders.
libby emmons
So they're saying, like... Everyone's misdiagnosed with disorders these days.
hannah claire brimelow
Sure, of course, but also there's this level of, like, this institution, which, because we know educators are predominantly left-leaning, they're saying, you're supposed to act this way culturally, but also we're misdiagnosing you.
I mean, this is, like, the most conflicting information to give, especially young children.
The way you speak is okay sometimes, but also in school, except maybe we think it's wrong.
libby emmons
And then they complain about code switching.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, it's crazy.
libby emmons
It's all mixed messages.
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
I just thought that was a crazy headline.
tim pool
When I went to Sweden, I said it was one of the most racist places I've ever been to.
And everyone was shocked, but they're all so lefty and they're like progressive.
And I'm like, uh-huh.
Yeah.
And they put all their migrants into enclaves where they separate them,
brag about how not racist they are, and then don't hire them.
I'm like, it's, it's, it is this air of, I'm such a better person.
I'm not racist.
And then when it actually comes down to practice, they're like, oh, don't get away from me.
That's what we see with white liberals in the United States even.
But going back to, you know, United, here's the video.
We'll play it for you.
I know you guys don't want to watch it, but you're gonna have to.
So, uh, okay.
unidentified
How would you respect someone who, like, if this was your boss, and this is what you're
hannah claire brimelow
working on...
libby emmons
Now, this was a Halloween part.
unidentified
This was, like, a Halloween thing, but it was still a company Halloween thing.
tim pool
Okay, I gotta be honest.
I really don't care that the dude is doing Lady Gaga drag stuff.
It's like whatever, man, I guess.
I think Lady Gaga makes great pop music, more power to her.
If this guy, you know, gets his rocks off by dressing like a woman and dancing around in front of his employees, hey, I'm libertarian, just keep the kids out of it.
The issue is that he's on, in an interview with Axios, bragging about how he intends to break the law.
He's sitting there being like, I'm a criminal and a racist at the same time, and I want to cause harm to this country.
I'm like, dude, screw you.
This is just like, okay, I personally boycotted United long before we knew the CEO was some weirdo.
You know what I mean?
Some racist guy.
libby emmons
Well, because United is not good.
I have flight credits with them, and I'm using them up, and then we're done.
tim pool
Don't fly United, man.
I'll tell you, we were flying back from, I think it was, I can't remember where we were.
We were in California.
I think it was when I went to Tijuana for the medical stuff.
And then on the way back over the weekend, we stopped in Vegas.
That's what happened.
When we were flying back from Vegas, United, at three in the morning, switched my plane ticket to a different plane without telling me.
So when I showed up at the airport, my ticket wasn't working.
I had to get a different ticket.
And then they put me from first class, a ticket I bought, and they put me into the back, into the basic economy seats.
unidentified
That's crazy.
libby emmons
And they still charge you for first class?
tim pool
As far as I know, I attempted a chargeback saying, I did not buy these tickets.
I want a refund.
I want my money back.
I don't know what happened with it.
I think I got a refund.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure, but I think I did.
I'm sitting here thinking, like, how is it that I paid all this money, and now, all of a sudden, the charger stole my credit card, I'm on a totally different plane to a different city, in a different seat I didn't pick, and my flight was still flying out on schedule.
The issue was that, so it was like Houston to DC, and the flight I was supposed to be on in Houston was delayed, so they took it upon themselves to move me without telling me.
And I'm like, I could have just gone to Houston and then opted for a flight there.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
Just because my flight was delayed does not... I was livid.
It's insane that they would do that.
They put me on a flight from Vegas to Denver to DC.
libby emmons
That's annoying.
tim pool
And they do it because they're probably thinking, we don't want people sitting in the airport.
If we can get them to their destination, just do it.
Don't ask them.
Screw United.
Do not fly United.
If you do, you're supporting, you know, racists.
You don't want to be racist, do you?
Right?
Do you, Hannah Clear?
libby emmons
Why are you asking me?
Wow!
hannah claire brimelow
No, I'm just kidding.
The thing is, I can't take this person seriously.
Like, I get it.
He can do whatever.
It's not that I don't want him to not do whatever brings him joy.
It's just like, this is your boss.
And like, I get it's a company homing party, but like, It's about choices.
dom lucre
I don't know.
If he chooses to represent himself that way, how does he represent his airline?
tim pool
When your Boeing Max 737-9 is crashing, the last thing that's going to go through your head is going to be this video.
hannah claire brimelow
That's horrifying.
I hate that.
libby emmons
Yeah, that is horrifying.
I fly a lot for work.
I travel a lot.
And I've been increasingly Wary of air travel.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
And I'm kind of like, can I just drive across the country?
What if we just do that?
hannah claire brimelow
Do you remember COVID, when people road trip all kinds of places?
libby emmons
Yeah, but I was flying during COVID, because the airports were empty.
The only people you ever saw in the airports were wearing MAGA hats, and you'd be like, hey, what's going on?
dom lucre
Oh, wow.
libby emmons
That was cool.
There was nobody on the flight, and it was just a bunch of conservatives and Trump supporters flying around the country, being like, it's cheap.
tim pool
Mark Cuban's debating people online about diversity and stuff.
But there's one point that Mark Cuban cannot ever refute.
Publicly stating your intention to hire someone based on race is a criminal act.
It's like admission of guilt in the intention to commit a crime.
We have a law in this country that's been there for 60 years that you cannot discriminate on the basis of race.
And Mark Cuban's like, no, it's a good thing.
Okay, well, look, it's really simple.
If you've got an issue with what Mark Cuban is saying, sue him.
It's about time everybody who's sick of the diversity quota stuff starts suing.
The moment any company... Okay, so first you need standing.
So, if there's a company that says, we're only... Let's say, guys, you're listening?
Okay, tell your friends this.
You work for a company, right?
They say, we got a new position or we're promoting.
But, it's for people of color.
File a lawsuit, you will win in two seconds.
You'll put ten grand in your pocket.
It is illegal what they are doing.
You cannot do this.
You see this all the time with housing.
It was a big deal because on Craigslist there are a bunch of women who say no men allowed and you cannot discriminate in housing and it caused a lot of problems.
There are guys who sue bars.
The bars will have ladies night and they'll say 20% off all drinks for women.
There's like this old guy, old guy, there's an older guy who's in his late 50s who just goes around the country suing these bars.
He instantly wins.
You know why?
Because the bar gets served with a lawsuit and they say, what is this?
We're being sued for having ladies night?
And their lawyer says, yeah, that's illegal.
You should pay him.
And they'll be like, he wants 10 grand.
They'll be like, you should pay him because you're going to lose and it's going to cost you more than that.
And they write him a check and then they cancel ladies night.
If that's been going on for 20 years.
libby emmons
All I can think of is John Lovitz.
tim pool
Anybody who works for United right now should be filing a lawsuit, calling a lawyer and saying, the CEO on Axios said they have quotas for people of color.
I feel like I am being held back and not being given a raise because of my raise, blah, blah, blah.
The company has explicitly stated, the CEO, they illegally, illegally discriminate in the workplace.
Sue them.
dom lucre
Women are people of color, so they just classify both of them into either or.
libby emmons
It's just kind of disingenuous to me.
That's how the Civil Rights Act is written.
It's still disingenuous.
Yeah, it is.
And now it's retroactively gender identity is part of it.
It's crazy.
unidentified
Oh, man.
libby emmons
So everywhere it says protections for women, it's protections for gender identity.
hannah claire brimelow
That makes me mad.
libby emmons
Did you see the thing where now you can pick non-gender or opposite gender on your passport?
tim pool
That's going to work out really well for you when you fly to other countries and they arrest you.
libby emmons
That's right.
And that's what they said.
That's what the State Department said.
They were like, some countries won't honor this passport if you lie on it.
And you can also lie on your child's birth certificate now.
You can put on ex-gender.
dom lucre
I'm for it.
tim pool
I'm for it.
Look, I got to tell you, man.
libby emmons
You're like, just go as far as you can and make yourselves insane.
Creating a false document.
tim pool
When you go to the U.S., the purpose of a passport is to identify you to a foreign country.
They will then choose to grant you access.
Some countries have what's called a visa upon entry.
A lot of them do.
Some of them have, they don't have visa on entry, but they basically do.
Like, I think when I went to Egypt, that you show up, you walk up to a, there's a counter, and then they give you a visa, you pay the money, they stamp your passport.
Then you go to immigration control, and that's not visa on entry because you had to go to a kiosk.
A lot of countries, you walk right in.
You walk up, you say, I got an American passport.
They say, stamp, thank you for your money.
Some countries don't do this and scroll, they go through your passport, identify you, and you have to have pre-approval before entering this country.
If you lie on your passport and then apply for a visa and then show up and the person at the border, you know, customs or whatever, this country says you applied for a visa claiming to be a man, but you're a woman or you're a woman claiming to be a woman, but you're a man, denied.
libby emmons
You are a liar.
tim pool
You're in serious trouble.
libby emmons
You are not allowed in.
tim pool
And here's the other thing, too.
It's going to get really, really interesting, because when you're trying to fly internationally to a country that requires a visa, the airlines will say, please, you know, check in to prove you have the visa.
Because if, say, United flew you to Brazil and you did not have a visa, guess who's responsible for bringing you there?
Now what happens, if you go to United, and you know, you're very clearly a man, but your passport says woman, and you have a visa, and the visa says the same thing, because you apply online, to get like a visa, you go through a broker, and they send in the photos, and then Brazil will approve, then you show up, and they go, uh, you lied.
You are not a woman, you're a man.
Why are you trying to sneak into the country?
It's gonna be funny when United approves you, you land, and then they say, United, why did you allow this person to lie on their visa and come to this country?
You're responsible, and then United's like, oops.
It's gonna be crazy, because look, there's a lot of countries that are not going to tolerate this.
So you got all these, right now, there's not that many people who do it.
Like, what was it, the small, the low thousands of individuals who've actually changed their passports?
But this is why I tell people, like, Some people even joke about it, like, oh, I'm going to get an X on my ID because it's funny.
I'm like, nah, you shouldn't do that.
libby emmons
It's really dumb.
tim pool
Yeah, because then one day you're going to be, like, hanging out and, I don't know, you're going to go on vacation to, like, Romania or something.
And someone's going to look at your ID and they're going to be like, this is fake, you're under arrest.
hannah claire brimelow
Plus, I feel like we should like the gender thing before it goes away.
We should be like, yes, put my gender on my passport because one day it'll be vintage and they will just remove it entirely.
libby emmons
It also, though, speaks to what we were talking about earlier with regard to trusting the federal government.
How do you trust a government that allows fabricated federal documents?
Like, that's just crazy.
Like, oh, the United States government puts out identification documents that are rife with lies and they approve that.
Why would you?
hannah claire brimelow
It makes you question anything else they put out, right?
libby emmons
Yeah, any official document.
hannah claire brimelow
Any official study, anything they find.
libby emmons
Which already, we're in trouble.
hannah claire brimelow
Which is like, kind of how we operate anyways.
tim pool
Dude, this stuff's so weird.
It's just so, it's social breakdown right before our eyes.
No one is asking your gender because they're trying to insult you.
Or your sex.
Nobody's saying like, tell me what's in your underwear.
I think it's really funny because they always try to pull this thing where they're like, Tim wants genital inspections for sporting events.
And I was like, it's called the physical, everyone gets one.
I don't know why you're calling it a genital inspection, but you get a physical, you go to the doctor to make sure you're okay.
What are you talking about?
hannah claire brimelow
Every Olympic athlete ever is like, yes, sounds good.
This is completely normal procedure.
tim pool
It's funny because the left's argument is if we say males can't compete in female sports, it would require genital inspections.
And I'm like, dude, they take their blood.
They like extract the blood from these athletes, which is much more invasive.
libby emmons
Also, it's a lie anyway, because you don't need a genital inspection to tell the difference between a boy and a girl or a man and a woman.
It's blatantly obvious just by looking at them, even from across the room.
You can tell.
You can tell the difference.
hannah claire brimelow
That's all made up.
libby emmons
Between men and women.
hannah claire brimelow
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's all pretend.
libby emmons
It's just obvious.
hannah claire brimelow
It just depends on how you feel.
Like that, I was listening to some NPR interview when I was coming in today and they were talking about like, oh yeah, I mean gender is not real and masculinity and femininity.
They agree.
serge du preez
Gender is not real, I agree.
hannah claire brimelow
They were saying masculinity and femininity are made up concepts, but how can that be possible if we see the patterns repeated over and over again?
I think this is the weird thing that all of these conversations are trying to do, which is that your brain desires to categorize and process information as fast as it possibly can, right?
And so the idea that we have identified a difference between Males and females, that's both physical but also psychological.
It presents self and behaviors.
Like, this is super normal.
It helps us advance as a society.
Why would you want to be like, actually, it all doesn't matter.
Actually, it all means nothing.
Actually, if you assume any of this stuff, you're bigoted and hateful and you should question yourself.
Like, why would you want there to be chaos unless you in some way thrive in the chaos or profit off it?
libby emmons
Yeah, or it furthers your own rewriting of reality.
hannah claire brimelow
And your own sense of discontent within yourself, right?
Like, you need other people to be miserable because you yourself are miserable.
libby emmons
Right.
Misery loves company should be, like, the motto for Tran.
hannah claire brimelow
I think that is one of the weird things that happens, though.
People who see people who are, like, thriving and doing well... I mean, the left.
...want them to suffer also.
libby emmons
The left entirely.
tim pool
The left entirely is misery loves company.
dom lucre
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, and it's terrifying.
hannah claire brimelow
What a horrible way to live, you know?
When Biden, I've talked about this a couple times, but when Biden did his first speech, he was saying, you know, we're the party of the future and they're the party that wants to divide and hates you.
Anyways, I'm going to spend this whole time fear mongering and telling you how this like MAGA extremist group is trying to ruin the government.
dom lucre
And also I'm only going to talk about- I believe the shielding is what created the misery.
They were shielded from everything.
Shielded from criticism, shielded from bullying, all of the stuff that- Well, it's because of cowards.
Yeah.
tim pool
It's because of cowards.
You know, I think of it like a fire, right?
You've got a small fire in the kitchen, and when this first started, you needed only a few people who knew how and were willing to put the fire out and deal with it.
Instead, everyone stood around and was just like, it's not my kitchen, I'm not doing anything.
And so, they watched as the fire grew and grew and grew, and it got to the point until finally, it caught the attention of people who tried to put it out, and now we're winning, we're pushing back on it.
If just when all this wokeness started, the people who were working for these companies just said, shut your mouth.
We would never have gotten to this point.
libby emmons
Yeah.
And at the time, I remember because, you know, like I spoke out against trans stuff in theater in New York and that didn't go super well.
Yeah, it didn't go super well.
But no one else was willing to speak out, even my friends who all agreed with me.
Right.
But they wouldn't speak out.
And you could see all over the place, people would say quietly, they're making me put my pronouns in my bio for work.
I don't agree with it, but they would do it anyway.
And there was so much cancel culture that people would say, you know, I'm afraid to speak out and be like, oh, it's too bad that you're afraid to speak out.
And it's like, at the time, I remember saying to people, like, if we just all said the truth,
if we all just spoke up, we couldn't get canceled.
Because there's way more of us than there are of them.
We know what reality is, we know what the truth is.
And all we have to do is stand up, stand on the word, speak up, say the truth.
And everyone was afraid to do it.
We were all just pushed around by like the green haired mean girls with nose piercings
who were screaming at us, telling us we were bigots.
hannah claire brimelow
This silent majority phenomenon has been going on for a long time.
I mean this is also true of saying that you should restrict immigration over the border.
For a long time Republicans were afraid to talk about this.
Democrats at one point were the ones calling for border restrictions.
And ultimately it became this, you're being racist, you're being anti-humanitarian, people need this, you can't talk about this, and then culture shifted and it suddenly became something that you could talk about.
libby emmons
I find this- Well, it's because people kept talking.
Like, a bunch of us just kept talking even though we lost our jobs or friends or whatever.
dom lucre
And I think it's just like nothing new under the sun, kind of one of those things, because council culture, I feel like any party that embraces council culture, they only have about eight years maximum to have that dominance.
Because I remember in the past, distinctively, when I was younger, my mom was a Republican Christian, and she was also a part of Christian council culture.
I remember it being a thing like cancelling Harry Potter, cancelling GTA, cancelling NWA.
That was Christian counselling, these things.
libby emmons
And that was Tipper Gore, too.
Tipper Gore hated all that.
dom lucre
And they copied what Christians really did and magnified it.
You know, it intensified it to the point that we see now.
But since it's intensified, I say conservatives had a grasp on America through council culture, maybe like 12 years.
Since it's so much stronger, I think liberals only have about six max.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, it's kind of running out.
dom lucre
Supreme dominance.
People could only take so much, just like maybe with conservatives.
They could only take so much with liberals.
They took it way too far, too fast.
And we just don't have the patience for it.
It's a lot.
If you hit as hard as you hit, You'll leave just as fast.
hannah claire brimelow
Was that frustrating for you growing up, if your mom was the one being like, you can't do these things, but did you see the value in it?
dom lucre
It wasn't really that, she was just joining the boycotts.
I remember like with Harry Potter, I could never watch Harry Potter, or if she ever seen a Harry Potter book, my mom would burn the book.
libby emmons
It's hard to burn a book.
hannah claire brimelow
It's not easy to actually set a book on fire.
dom lucre
She would find a way.
She was committed.
She would find a way.
hannah claire brimelow
And did she tell you, like, I'm doing this because I believe this, or were you just like, my mom's wild?
dom lucre
Christian conservative belief, she'll say that's witchcraft, that's the devil, don't fund token.
And I think it's kind of funny, because that's one of the main people speaking out against transgenderism now, which is crazy.
So it really just shows how things come full circle.
Conservatives were canceling her in the past.
Now liberals are canceling her.
unidentified
Right.
dom lucre
Over two different scenarios.
libby emmons
Two totally different things.
hannah claire brimelow
I think sometimes there's this, especially if something's been popular culture, people feel like, oh, well, I don't want my kid to, like, resent me for keeping this from them.
And so they're hesitant to say, like, this is why we don't do this as a family or, like, They're trying to find a way to sort of balance.
And I can understand that.
It must be really difficult.
I don't have kids.
I can't imagine a challenge.
Maybe Libby can talk about it.
But that idea that your mom was like, it's not even that you can't read it, it's that we're going to burn it.
It's kind of fascinating.
dom lucre
Yeah, there was a lot of Christians, or at least conservatives around my area, would not engage in any of those things.
They didn't call it council culture at the time.
It was called standing on your beliefs or standing for Christ.
But on a political sense, it is council culture, to my opinion.
Counseling GTA, a video game, now has looked absurd.
But back then, it was very serious business.
libby emmons
Yeah, with my son, like, he can read any book on the shelf.
Just ask me about it.
Let's talk about it.
He can watch most things.
I mean, there's restrictions on his, you know, there's restrictions on his laptop and stuff.
But like, I'll sit and watch YouTube content with him, and then I know what he's watching, and I know what he's interested in, and we talk about it.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
serge du preez
It's also funny you mentioned earlier about the fact that the kids are not voting.
We talked about this earlier in the story.
Kids are not voting towards Gen Z or in general voting towards the right conservatively.
It's because, like you said, the liberalism thing has been cool for so long and that's the mainstream now.
And to be punk would not be doing that and that's what's coming up.
dom lucre
You can't be based and be mainstream because based is literally a revolution against the mainstream, whatever's mainstream.
libby emmons
Yeah, I remember when I was in high school, this was years ago, this was in the 90s, but I had dyed blue hair and I was sort of punk rock-ish or whatever.
And when I went to college, everybody was punk rock and everybody was wearing fishnet stockings as tops instead and all this stuff.
And I was like, okay, I'm not going to do that anymore.
And my hair was suddenly normal and I started dressing preppy and I was like, okay.
I'm wearing a button-down and jeans now, y'all.
hannah claire brimelow
But I think that nonconformity is... What I find really interesting about the way teenagers' brains develop is that they're looking for social acceptance, but also they really want to create and carve out their own identity.
And watching teenagers navigate this in such an intense political time when what's at stake is a lot.
I mean, if you stumble down one rabbit hole trying to search for who you are, you could have lifelong consequences right now.
But that desire to not do what everyone is doing is still there.
libby emmons
Well, and your teachers aren't cool.
So when your teachers are pushing, you know, counterculture on you, you're like, that's not cool.
No, you look awful.
tim pool
I want to talk to you guys about this new cartoon coming out in a couple hours, actually.
It's called Has Been Hotel, and I'm seeing some outrage over it because it is, as some describe, well, the veneration of demons.
So you have this story.
Actually, I'll play the trailer for you guys.
The first thing I want to say is, I'm not acting like there's this big outrage campaign against it.
There's just, I see people posting these things on Twitter talking about how it makes Lucifer to be the good guy.
It eliminates the concept of God.
It is a fictional show about demons in hell that are being killed by heaven, because heaven's actually the bad guys who want social order.
And in hell, they're trying to convince bad people to repent so they can get let back into heaven.
I don't see it as inherently, like, good or bad, but there is a question around producing content that is popular, winning a culture war, and biblical teaching.
So let me just play this for you, and then I'll get your guys' thoughts on it.
unidentified
Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven.
It was ruled by beings of pure light, angels that worshipped good and shielded all from evil.
Lucifer was one of these angels.
He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation.
But he was seen as a troublemaker by the Elders of Heaven, for they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world.
So he watched as the Angels began to expand the universe in their ways.
From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith.
Anna Claire's wincing.
With it, a new realm of darkness and sin, and the order Heaven had worked to maintain, was shattered.
As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity.
Only the cruel and the wicked.
Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream.
But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and her songs.
And as the numbers of hell grew, so did its power.
Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision.
That every year, they would send down an army.
An extermination.
To ensure hell and its sinners could never rise against them.
But Lilith's hope remained.
And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter.
The Princess of Hell.
Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud.
out.
tim pool
So there's this, it's a show on YouTube.
There's another show that's related to it.
Super popular.
It's got, they get like tens of millions of views.
But basically, what I'm seeing from a lot of people, they're commenting saying that the propagandists, I don't think it's, I don't like that.
Look, Prime, they're saying like Amazon Prime is doing this.
Amazon Prime has Sondra Freedom on it.
And it's actively promoting Sondra Freedom.
I'll take it.
It also is now launching this show.
I think they saw a big audience.
They said, let's take it.
But the controversy arises in that this show Makes it out that, uh, one, that Lilith is real.
Uh, and, you know, a lot of people... Again, I'm not a biblical scholar, but people are like, that's blasphemy.
And that Lucifer is not a bad guy, but also, people are saying it's not even actually biblical.
There is no God.
Heaven is evil.
Heaven wants to just go and exterminate all these people by sending soldiers down to kill them.
And, uh, my whole take on this is I think it's interesting...
Because if your concern is that major media is funding massively shows that corrupt biblical teaching in some way, whether intentionally or otherwise, the answer is to build culture and counter it by making your own content, shows, cartoons, or otherwise.
Complaining about it is not going to solve anything, but I'm curious what you guys think, if it even matters.
hannah claire brimelow
It's got amazing production value, I will say that.
It looks well-drawn.
tim pool
Why were you wincing?
hannah claire brimelow
Okay, the thing is, it is sort of interesting to think of this as a thought experiment, where someone was like, I'm gonna tell you this story, and then you have to spin it so it's completely the opposite of it.
In that way, it is almost fascinating what they have done.
dom lucre
Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's that bad of a thing, to be honest with you.
I mean, I'm not a Satanist, but it's just vice versa.
It's entertainment.
It's like, what if God was evil?
Or, from the bad guy perspective, there's video games that let us see from the bad guy perspective.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I don't like the idea of, like, restricting art.
I think you have to have, like, counterculture ideas, and this would be countercultural because, like, my Christian beliefs, of course, but, like, the other thing that is, like, when I'm looking at it, I'm like, did you, did you, Who wrote this?
Like, did you grow up in a church and learn the story, and then you're like, but I have decided to change it?
Or are you someone who doesn't understand, like, the story of Adam and Eve and everything, and you have been like, well, Adam actually seems like a really oppressive guy, and he wouldn't let Eve eat from the apple, and that's very rude.
tim pool
Well, you saw, like, in the beginning, it's like, Lilith would not submit to Adam, to the man, because she was fiercely independent.
hannah claire brimelow
She's such a feminist girl boss and then she falls in love with a silly trickster, Satan, who's just hanging out.
tim pool
Well, at least we're not Satan.
hannah claire brimelow
Or whatever his name is.
You know what I mean?
It is like, I'm wincing because it's my brain being like, this is very weird.
But on the other hand, whoever wrote this should go work for some top government PR spin room because they really can be like, they spun this fantastically.
tim pool
Someone commented that it's low-key based because it has all the gay people in hell.
And I was like, that's actually, should be rather offensive to them.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
But the issue is because the people behind it are, my understanding is they're like woke.
They created a bunch of characters that, you know, are like them.
And so all the people that are in hell are leftists.
hannah claire brimelow
Which I'm sure that comes from like them being like, oh, everyone else says I'm going to hell because of whatever, however I live my life or whatever I do.
tim pool
No, I think it's more like the characters we make need to be diverse.
So let's make all of our characters diverse.
And it's like, you just put a bunch of woke leftists in hell.
libby emmons
Well, isn't that where they'd be?
tim pool
Kicked out of heaven!
libby emmons
They'd probably be happier there.
hannah claire brimelow
That's what they're saying.
They're like, heaven's a bad place.
dom lucre
I think diversity, the term diversity has changed too, because now diversity pretty much means insert different type of LGBTQ.
In the past it used to be like, bring an Indian here, bring an Asian right here, bring a black right here.
It's completely different now.
libby emmons
Asians are no longer considered diverse according to most government contracts that require quotas.
unidentified
What?
For real?
libby emmons
Yeah.
dom lucre
Are you serious?
libby emmons
Yeah.
Asians, East Asians, as well as South Asians.
I know in New York in the architecture and engineering contracts, they have quota systems for minorities, but quota systems, there's no quota for Asians because they are overrepresented in those fields, so it doesn't count anymore.
hannah claire brimelow
It was Asian student groups that initially brought the admissions lawsuit.
tim pool
This is why I no longer identify as Asian, I'm actually Hispanic.
libby emmons
Right, I think that's smart.
tim pool
Hispanic means speak Spanish.
libby emmons
I'm Native American.
unidentified
Me and Elizabeth Warren, same amount.
tim pool
No, no, check this out.
When you are filling out a form and it says Caucasian, Hispanic, African American, whatever, Hispanic means speak Spanish.
It does not mean you are from Latin America or whatever.
It could mean that, but it literally means Spanish speaking.
That's why they say there's white Hispanic.
So I'm just going to be like, I speak Spanish.
libby emmons
Hola el sombrero.
tim pool
Donde esta la biblioteca?
hannah claire brimelow
I was dog sitting for Dane, our marketing guy, when he went on his honeymoon.
He and his wife have two dogs and they both speak Spanish at home.
And so they came to my house and like one is calm and one is really scared.
And my roommate and I were trying to figure out like how to like talk to them.
We're like, it's okay, you know.
And then it occurred to us that like these dogs only speak Spanish.
And we were saying like, I can't say anything.
I say like biblioteca.
But she said like, you're bonita.
And one of the dogs like turned around and looked at her like, yes, I am.
They had no idea what we were talking about until we started speaking Spanish.
tim pool
I speak Spanish.
libby emmons
Afuera!
tim pool
So Candace said, that means outside.
I guess she didn't know about the melee meme, but it means out.
It's a verb too, like get out.
And it's always weird when I hear people tell me this, because I went to Spain during the M something protest, M24 or whatever protests.
And the cops, I love this, in France, No, wait, wait, we'll start with America.
In America, the SWAT police, the riot cops, they all hold their truncheons, they stand in line, and they go like this as they move forward, and they yell, move, move!
In France and in Canada, you know what they say?
libby emmons
What?
tim pool
Bouge.
unidentified
Ooh.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
That's right.
tim pool
Which means move.
unidentified
Right.
libby emmons
But you are bougie.
You are out here protesting.
unidentified
And then in Spain, you know what they say?
tim pool
Afuera.
They yell afuera as they're pushing people out.
libby emmons
It's like, get out, get out.
tim pool
And so when I was in Spain hearing them yell that, I was like, I kind of understand what they're saying.
They're saying like, get out, move, go away or whatever.
And then my friends were saying, they're saying out, out, out.
And then I had people tell me that it means outside.
And I guess it's like, for people who only just speak a little bit of Spanish, they're like, that means outside, why are you saying that?
And I'm like, Javier Millay was yelling afuera as he was ripping the things down.
And you know, Dane messaged me and he was like, it means like, get out or outside as well.
So I speak Spanish now.
That means I'm Hispanic.
And I am no longer... I tweeted identify as Asian because there were these leftists arguing that I don't qualify as mixed race unless I assert that I identify as such.
That the actual DNA within my body and the race of my mother is meaningless and the only thing that matters is I choose to identify as such.
And I'm like, really?
libby emmons
Because identity is a political designation.
Identity isn't anything about your gender.
tim pool
That means you can identify as Asian.
libby emmons
I'm totally Asian.
What are you kidding me, Tim?
Get out of your mind.
tim pool
Well, I'm Hispanic from now on, because it means speak Spanish.
Take that, Dane.
libby emmons
I eat way too much kimchi to not be Asian.
hannah claire brimelow
Oh, is that what it takes?
libby emmons
Yes.
hannah claire brimelow
Interesting.
I'll get back to you guys in my diversity card.
tim pool
You should be Hispanic.
hannah claire brimelow
With my biblioteca, Dane's going to be like, absolutely not.
libby emmons
I'm actually an indigenous American.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, you are!
That makes sense to me.
I mean, I legitimately am first-generation American.
I'm the child of immigrants.
People just don't think it's that spicy of countries, you know?
tim pool
Can you say, dos tacos de pollo, por favor?
hannah claire brimelow
I honestly am afraid to on the internet because it's gonna be so bad.
tim pool
But if you say it, you can then claim to be Hispanic.
Because no one ever said, in order to speak a language, you have to be smart, right?
libby emmons
You don't have to be good at it to speak it.
tim pool
Exactly.
libby emmons
I was at this Mexican wedding in Puerto Vallarta several years ago, and my Spanish is terrible, but I did know how to continue asking for mango margaritas.
hannah claire brimelow
That's the most important skill of all time.
libby emmons
It was very important, and as the night continued, I thought I got more and more emboldened in my Spanish.
hannah claire brimelow
Sure, I wonder why.
libby emmons
Who could have fueled that?
What could have fueled that?
But yeah, by the end, I was pretty secure in my Espanol.
hannah claire brimelow
It was really good Spanish.
libby emmons
My accent was exactly like this one, too, so it was going over really well.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, I do think that is what people will end up doing.
I think they already do it to just sort of claim whatever tangential thing they can because it all sort of becomes meaningless, at least to me.
Like, it seems like it all falls apart.
Then it's too bad because there are people who really do feel like their cultural ties, even though they were raised in America, very strongly and they observe different Traditions or whatever else but for the most part It's like what boxes can I check so that I get more advantages with the federal government or with universities?
libby emmons
I never got to say what I thought of that thing and I just think it's the glamorization of evil Mm-hmm, and that's really I think that's not a great thing, but I wouldn't prevent people from doing it I do think that there needs to be a lot more art being made by people who are not leftists It doesn't have to have activism in it.
Yeah, but it should be artistic Cool stuff.
tim pool
Do you guys know what burrito means?
libby emmons
No.
I do know the origin of burritos, however.
tim pool
What is the origin of burrito?
libby emmons
Well, you're probably going to be like, no Libby, that's totally wrong.
But Mexican cowboys would go out and be cowboys and they would take burritos and they would put them under the saddle.
hannah claire brimelow
But doesn't that come from the word for donkey?
tim pool
Like a burro?
Burro and burrito means little donkey.
libby emmons
And it would stay warm all day, just like tucked in.
tim pool
Well, I was told that they're called burritos is because when the baby donkey is born, they wrap the blanket.
hannah claire brimelow
I'm learning so much about Tim's new culture.
tim pool
And so they're called a burrito.
It means little donkey.
My favorite thing at Taco Bell is a gordita because it means little fat girl.
dom lucre
I will never look at these the same again.
libby emmons
Eating lots of little fat girls.
tim pool
Gordita.
Yeah, it means little fat girl.
hannah claire brimelow
We're all now Hispanic, but mostly because we can read the Taco Bell menu.
libby emmons
That's the important part.
That and the margaritas.
tim pool
I love margaritas.
Gordo means fat.
libby emmons
I would be like, yo, Carol, mango margarita, por favor.
tim pool
Gordo means fat, and then ito and ita means child, small.
So Gord Ita is little fat girl.
hannah claire brimelow
That's hilarious.
What an amazing language.
libby emmons
I think that they should all come with faces on them from now on.
tim pool
I guess you have to say Gortitex now if you want to be politically correct.
Go to Taco Bell.
Can I get a Chalupix and a Gorditix?
hannah claire brimelow
Hispanic people don't use the X. They're like, what is this?
libby emmons
No, they hate it.
hannah claire brimelow
They hate it.
tim pool
We should totally do that.
We should film a video where we go to Taco Bell and order the Gorditix.
hannah claire brimelow
Yes, any excuse to go to Taco Bell, you know?
I'm in.
Fitz for work, Tim.
tim pool
I would say right now, but there's a blizzard coming.
We're in a state of emergency right now, actually.
That's true.
West Virginia's in a state of emergency because we don't have plows.
I mean, we're mountain people.
I shouldn't say we, because I'm an immigrant to the mountain land.
libby emmons
Oh, I'm an even more recent immigrant to the mountain land than y'all.
hannah claire brimelow
I'm a refugee to West Virginia.
libby emmons
But I do feel like now that I live in a southern state, I can say y'all, and I'm into that.
tim pool
That's all I know.
But I do want to say to all of our mountain folk, we did migrate here legally to this great mountain land of West Virginia.
unidentified
I pursued legal asylum here.
tim pool
Yeah, when it snows though, so when we were coming back from Iowa, we landed, the plane landed on four inches of snow and was sliding.
It was crazy.
And then outside the airport, there's no plows, so there's four inches of snow, pure, pristine, untouched snow everywhere.
And so the cars were driving through it.
We had to drive 20 to 30 miles an hour all the way back because you're going up hills and down hills, it's relatively mountainous.
And by the time we got back to the house, we couldn't make it up the driveway.
Our driveway is not like a small driveway.
It's like 10 feet.
It's like... It's like vertical.
It's like a thousand feet.
And so we got 10 feet up and then slid back down.
And I was like, let's start walking.
So when it snows, and it's going to snow tonight, the state is like, you will slide down the mountain.
So you've been warned.
libby emmons
I actually called my dad and asked him how to drive on ice because I only got my driving license a couple of years ago.
So I never, and I grew up in New England, but I would have learned.
I mean, by rights, I should have learned how to drive.
Yeah.
And then in New York, there was no, I mean, they plow everything right away.

That means, for everybody who watches and supports Tim Castiro and the Clips, we use that money for investing in projects, we use it for creating new cultural stuff, we're using it for traveling to do shows, say like in Iowa and things like this.
And, uh, yeah.
When you become a member, you are just helping us expand culture and work on the mission, so it is greatly appreciated.
It makes it all possible.
Here we go!
That's Dan's-a-tastic.

First!
You are in fact the first.

I hope they are keeping score somewhere.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
I'm getting targeted.
unidentified
It's crazy.
tim pool
I even proved it.
There's this one user that's actually community noted 86% of my content.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Yeah, and they're only talking to conservatives.
Yeah, I posted it on my ex.
dom lucre
Yeah, I got I'm getting targeted. It's crazy. I even proved it. There's this one user. That's actually community noted
86% of my content What yeah, they're only talking to conservatives. Yeah, I
posted it on my exes. They're only talking to conservatives Yeah, that's what they do when um
tim pool
When I called out Ron DeSantis, the DeSantis campaign stole one of our videos and then put a tag on it saying, paid for by the DeSantis campaign.
libby emmons
Oh yeah, that was messed up.
tim pool
And then when I tweeted, like, hey, they did not pay for this, the DeSantis people put a fake community note to trick people.
What they were trying to make it... So here's the context.
There was a short video that was about 7 seconds long.
The clip was filmed by Elad Eliyahu, a reporter formerly of Timcast News, now of SCNR.
The DeSantis campaign took just that clip and nothing else.
Sent it out in a tweet with a tag saying, paid for by DeSantis.
In the video!
When I said, hey, they did not pay for this, we did not get any money, because I'm like, I'm not saying take it down, I'm just saying we had nothing to do with the DeSantis campaign.
They put a fake community note to make it seem like it was a three minute long ad, and that the message was part of standard reporting processes for political ads.
To which I'm like, I got a fake community note to trick people.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, guys.
I am not saying that that's not the correct thing.
I'm saying if you take only our reporter's footage, then claim paid for by DeSantis, that sends a very different message to if you made a commercial where a guy is talking and says, did you know that LGBT activists want your children?
Watch this video paid for by Ron DeSantis.
That I get.
Not what they did.
A raw version of our clip with their tag on it, and then when I said, we have nothing to do with this, they put a fake community note.
These people are dirty, man.
dom lucre
It's dirty, yeah.
They'll do whatever they can.
But it only happens when you start to get more and more credibility or reach.
They don't care about tarnishing anything if it don't exist.
tim pool
Yeah.
Alright, here we go.
James Eaton says new Wuhan virus targets blood-brain barrier.
Old COVID tests damaged it.
Maybe plan all along was to weaken people to catch new one easier.
Who knows?
But Chinese scientists say it has 100% kill rate and is found in the brain.
That being said, there have been COVID tests that found similar things among mice, so who knows for sure.
All right.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
says, guys, the future's a sad thought.
Lonely guys pay for OnlyFans or AI girls, and then there's the girls doing OnlyFans and face surgery.
How will it all turn out?
In the future, the porn industry will cease to exist.
Women will no longer ever be able to do porn.
dom lucre
Yeah, I believe it.
tim pool
Because AI.
I'm sorry, ladies, men will be better at making porn for men than women will be of themselves.
libby emmons
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
Darn, what a loss to society.
libby emmons
Oh, no.
tim pool
I mean, I guess in that sense, porn will exist.
Porn will get worse than it's ever been.
And it'll be worse than it's ever been.
hannah claire brimelow
I think that's sort of what you need for women to start being like, actually, we don't like porn.
I feel like right now, if there's a chance they can make money off it, they're more open to it.
libby emmons
If they stop being able to make money off it, they might be like... There's been politicians doing porn with their husbands on OnlyFans in Virginia, and then when it was revealed, they claimed that they were victimized.
And it's like, girl, you literally filmed yourself having sex with your man and put it on the internet.
You victimized yourself.
tim pool
There's an AI woman, they have videos, She makes $30,000 a month.
I think that's criminal and it should be listed as fraud.
Because guys think it's a real woman, and they're sending money.
That should be fraud.
If you're a man, and you create a fake profile with female pictures, trick men into giving you money, that is fraud.
You'll go to jail for this.
But these guys use AI, and they're like, it's totally cool!
We're using AI.
It's like, you should go to jail.
hannah claire brimelow
But the language around these AI-generated people, like all the AI-generated influencers that exist, there's a lot of them now.
They refer to them like they are actual beings that exist.
Like there was the, I don't remember what his name is, It's a female AI whatever.
She's an influencer.
And then they're like, she just released a pop song.
But actually she didn't do anything because she doesn't exist.
There's a lot of people behind her did it.
And you use someone else's voice.
libby emmons
You know what else is gross?
Our AI fitness influencers.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
libby emmons
You haven't made any progress.
You're just drawn different.
hannah claire brimelow
You're not even real.
tim pool
Alright, let's read some more.
Pup Shepard says, I really like Hell of a Boss.
When I learned of the plot of Has-Been Hotel, I felt deja vu of stories with childlike naivete about people's ability to change.
I don't like it.
Hell needs to be bad.
Hell of a Boss is related, I think?
It's the same animator?
Who's doing the show, Hasbun Hotel.
Amazon bought it.
They have like millions.
They have like a billion views on YouTube.
It's really popular.
It's really popular.
I think it's funny seeing people say it's propaganda and demonic.
That's why I wanted to bring it up.
Because I'm like, there's literally a show called Lucifer, where Lucifer is the good guy.
libby emmons
He's totally the good guy.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
And then you have also a little depraved.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
And that's, you know, and he solves murder mysteries, which is like just a weird premise.
libby emmons
It is weird, yeah.
tim pool
Although I really did like when they did Crisis on Infinite Earths and Lucifer was in it, and Constantine's in it too, and they did the crossover.
I thought that was fun.
But then there's also quite literally Constantine, where it's like he goes to hell and, you know, like in the movie Keanu Reeves actually confronts the devil.
I'm not gonna cry because someone made fiction about religious stuff or whatever, but I do think there is something interesting there in that the first experience a young person may have with religion will be through the lens of poor Lucifer and poor Lilith, and then if someone actually comes in later on and says, like, here's the religious text, they're gonna be like, that's BS.
I watched that cartoon.
Lucifer was a good guy.
Hell was not bad.
And then it's like, actually, if you watch the show, I was saying this too, like, they're all really awful people.
Like, the characters in Hell, yeah, they're bad.
libby emmons
They are on Friends, too.
I mean, maybe Friends was just in Hell.
They were terrible people.
tim pool
Actually, that's a great premise for a short film, like the end of Friends.
It's just like they've been in Hell the whole time.
libby emmons
It turns out they're in Hell.
It's like Sartre's No Exit, but it's just all the Friends characters.
That's actually, that would be really a fun watch.
I would watch it.
hannah claire brimelow
Libby has a new project, guys.
unidentified
I would watch this.
tim pool
Let's grab some more Super Chats.
What have we here?
Man, I'm fighting to sneeze.
libby emmons
Part of it, too, though, is that we have stopped teaching our children religion either in a faithful way or an anthropological way.
So they're not going to know these stories.
They're not going to know anything about Lilith or even who Adam and Eve are.
They're not even going to understand the apple.
And I think that's going to be the real turning point for the eradication of Western literature.
When no one understands the Bible, no one's going to understand Western lit anymore.
tim pool
Well, Lilith is not in the Bible.
libby emmons
No.
No, I mean, I was just looking it up and apparently Isaiah says something.
A wilderness demon shunned by Isaiah is something, which I don't remember personally, but apparently Lilith was, according to biblicalarcheology.org, her dark origins lie in Babylonian demonology.
tim pool
They just make Adam out to be like this dick.
You know, he's like... You know what's really funny, though?
I'd love to take that... You know what?
Here's what I'll do.
I will edit that trailer.
And then it'll be like, from the dust of the earth, they created Adam and Lilith.
But Adam wanted her to submit.
And she didn't want to, so she fled the garden.
Where she died, because she couldn't survive on her own without a man.
And that's how I'd end it.
libby emmons
I think that would be good.
That would be at least, you know, hewing to reality a little more.
serge du preez
I agree with what you're saying, though.
Like, they're not learning, like, the base stories.
Like, they talk about art.
Like, you have to know, like, the art in the past to, like, change anything, so you know what you started from to go forward.
libby emmons
And, like, with this... They're not gonna know it.
serge du preez
Yeah, they're not even... they're not even reaware of, like, oh, they may know the paradigm.
Hell is bad, heaven's good.
But in this story, it doesn't seem like that at all.
hannah claire brimelow
No, they don't know it at all.
They won't know the characters.
And I think part of understanding literature when it was written was also understanding the cultural influences.
You need to be able to teach Christianity without being like, well, but it's evil, so don't believe any of this.
Just the way you would need to be able to teach any sort of philosophy that maybe you don't personally believe in, but you're like, here are what the allusions to these tenets might be.
And I think that knee-jerk reaction to be like, we can't talk about it because it's ultimately bad, is going to starve really intellectually curious younger generations, ultimately.
tim pool
We got an interesting one.
Just Leave Me Alone says, I watched Trump's speech in New Hampshire, no blisters, photoshopped.
That was in the article too.
It claimed that later on when Trump was giving his speech, there were no blisters on his hands.
So it's not that it's photoshopped.
Trump may have literally just had red marker on his hand.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, he's like sitting in a meeting doodling and then they're like, you gotta get that off your hand immediately.
He's like, okay.
tim pool
Or he left and went, oh, I got marker on my hand and then they gave him a washcloth and he wiped it off.
And now there's this big story about him having syphilis because he was like, he's got like a red marker and he's drawing a picture of a cat.
hannah claire brimelow
Or he's like actually a secret painter and he just does it for himself and he was using red paint and forgot to wash it off.
tim pool
Here's a good one.
Mr. Grizzly Bear says, I work for Anheuser-Busch on a bottle line, and there will absolutely be a strike.
They are refusing to guarantee job security and pay raises, and have left negotiations.
They want to close down plants, and we all know it.
unidentified
Yeah, because nobody's buying your beer, dude!
tim pool
Yo, that's crazy.
libby emmons
That is crazy.
tim pool
The strikes will result in no product.
No product means no sales.
Their liabilities are going to stack up.
Anheuser-Busch is going to go, that's it, time to pull the plug.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Shut them down.
hannah claire brimelow
When the boycotts were going on, in the beginning, I felt sort of bad for the workers, like people who just work at the bottling plants.
If Bud Light lost sales, potentially they're going to face layoff, right?
It's sort of, in some ways, makes me feel better that this is a strike that they are able to carry out themselves.
It's like they have a choice in the situation because they didn't have a choice about the advertising, right?
If you're just a factory worker, if you just work on the line, you don't get to say, well, actually, I don't think it's a good idea to put Dylan Mulvaney in this ad.
tim pool
Alright, let's grab some more.
But Donkey Kong says AMC Theater's Perfectly Popped Popcorn.
It's so good.
Well, okay.
I saw this great video.
The guy took a straw, and he stuck it into his theater popcorn, and then he pushed the butter button, and the butter went into the straw.
libby emmons
That's what I do.
tim pool
Into the center of the popcorn.
libby emmons
That's exactly what I do.
tim pool
However, there's a much better video where a morbidly obese gentleman working at a theater spins the popcorn around and flips it in the air.
Have you seen this one?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
And they were like, whatever it is you do with your life, be the best.
And it's this fat guy, and he's spinning the popcorn, and he throws it in the air, catches it, and then puts more butter in, spins it again.
And he's the best popcorn guy I've ever seen!
So, yeah, shout out!
libby emmons
Nice.
hannah claire brimelow
That's cool.
tim pool
He's got millions of views on his popcorn spinning.
dom lucre
I gotta pick up this popcorn rabbit hole.
libby emmons
Yeah, where is that?
Seriously, where is that?
tim pool
Google, like, popcorn theater guy and you'll probably find it.
Because he has a bunch of videos apparently where he's really good at making theater popcorn.
hannah claire brimelow
I love people with niche talents.
He's like, this is what I am skilled at and I'm going to do it.
libby emmons
Corpus Christi.
Popcorn Guy.
unidentified
I think we should go to Corpus Christi.
libby emmons
What's that like?
tim pool
Maybe we should hire Popcorn Guy for a party.
East of Houston-ish.
We should hire him for our Freedomistan opening party and we'll get like five different kinds of popcorn and he can mix them all together and like add stuff to it.
libby emmons
This is a great idea.
hannah claire brimelow
This is fantastic.
I definitely think we should do this.
tim pool
Popcorn guy?
Yeah, I don't know what his deal is.
I saw his videos on the internet.
libby emmons
Popcorn guy.
Corpus Christi.
hannah claire brimelow
But you remember him, too.
unidentified
You see the video?
hannah claire brimelow
Like, that's the cool thing.
libby emmons
I'm seeing a news report on it, so it's news people talking.
I haven't got to the video yet, sadly.
tim pool
Just jump ahead until you can see it.
hannah claire brimelow
He didn't do this to become famous.
He did this just because he loves popcorn.
He was like, I'm doing it with flair.
tim pool
Look at him!
He's spitting it on his finger!
libby emmons
Oh yeah, he's the best at it.
tim pool
Like a basketball!
libby emmons
And he's having a great time!
tim pool
We gotta find this guy.
Hire him for a party.
libby emmons
Anyone know this guy?
hannah claire brimelow
Maybe he's on tour with like a popcorn- He's like now going to other AMC theaters and training them, but no one has to possess- He's hired by the circus, so when he's like, if you want to buy your popcorn, it's part of the show actually.
What if he grew up in the circus and that's where the skill comes from?
I- I- The Lord is too much for me.
tim pool
I learned how to spin things on my finger from working at non-profits because when you're standing outside with a binder or a clipboard, the only thing you have to do is just spin the binder on your finger and now I can spin basically anything on my finger.
It's kind of crazy.
hannah claire brimelow
So this could be you, is what you're saying.
You're like this close to becoming a popcorn maker.
tim pool
I'm actually really impressed because the popcorn is like cylindrical.
It's like very narrow.
I would not be able to spin that.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, you start with the bucket and you work your way to the narrow one.
tim pool
I know, right, that's very impressive.
You give me, like, I could spin a pizza on my finger, like a pizza tray.
You give me, like, a massive disc, I can spin it over my head basically indefinitely, but something narrow is really difficult.
hannah claire brimelow
Seems very challenging.
tim pool
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
This is the thing, like, people with niche skills and interests are just great.
He just did it because he wanted to, and...
tim pool
All right, Dylan Visitacion says, my wife really likes Appalachian Nights coffee and she never likes new different things.
Good job.
She also likes Jeremy's razors for women.
hannah claire brimelow
I like a subtle dig here.
She never likes new different things.
tim pool
Perhaps, but I will say, when we were looking at the sales for Appalachian Nights, I was like, holy crap!
We sold out of the whole bean, like, last week and we had to get more in stock.
I think that's, like, our star product.
When we first started, we were like, Rise with Roberto Jr., it's got a rooster on it.
Everybody was buying that.
And then I think what happens is, we're like, yeah, people like Appalachian Nights as well, it's my personal favorite.
Meritocracy.
We can put a rooster on the bag and people buy it for that reason, but when it comes down to what's the best and gets the most sales, people keep rebuying the Appalachian Nights, saying it's the best coffee they've ever had.
I gotta be honest, it is the best coffee I've ever had.
Yeah.
But I mean, I made it for myself.
It's like, we get sent all these different samples and origins, and I'm like, mixing them together, and then I was like, ooh, this one's my favorite.
I want to have this.
Here's the flavors that I like.
And it worked.
All right, Raybert G. Stanbert Jr.
says, Tim, can I humbly request an espresso blend?
I've been making primetime grind in an espresso powder and it's awesome.
Wife likes a Mr. Bocas espresso.
That is good.
Yeah, the plan is Ian's Graphene Dream is next.
And then I think after that we're going to do Focus with Mr. Bocas.
And that'll be our espresso.
hannah claire brimelow
That's cool.
I like that.
tim pool
Yeah, although I am surprised more people don't buy Sleepy Joe.
Just because of the name of it.
libby emmons
It's a cute name.
tim pool
Sleepy Joe.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, you're making fun of Joe Biden.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
There you go.
Buy a present for your family members.
libby emmons
I'd rather buy the one that someone says is the best coffee ever.
tim pool
It really is crazy.
I mean, it worked out for us.
We hit the nail on the head with that one.
Yeah, Appalachian Nights.
People tell us all the time, like, they keep rebuying it.
They're like, man, I'm really excited that people like it so much because it's my favorite.
Alright, Gene Layman says Trump has flaming hot Cheeto fingers.
Could you imagine if that was really it?
He's like sitting in the courtroom munching on Flamin' Hots and then he walks out waves, wipes his hand off, it's gone, and they're like, he's got syphilis!
That's not a good marketing pitch for Flamin' Hots.
hannah claire brimelow
B.C.
unidentified
asks, why can't Biden just checkmate the Republicans by giving amnesty to the millions who have illegally entered the country?
tim pool
He can.
hannah claire brimelow
That would be the best product.
unidentified
Like if they, after he leaves the White House, they're like, he becomes the spokesperson
libby emmons
for like Trump Cheetos.
I would eat Trump.
I like Cheetos.
tim pool
BC asks, why can't Biden just checkmate the Republicans by giving amnesty to the millions
who have illegally entered the country?
He can.
Probably will.
At the end of the year, Joe Biden signs an executive order.
libby emmons
That's what I keep saying, that's the plan.
Amnesty for all of these people.
tim pool
Before he's out of office.
libby emmons
Yes, before he's out of office.
You have Kathy Hochul just pledged $2.4 billion to make sure all the illegal immigrants in New York get jobs and shelter and whatever else.
Imagine living in New York, paying $5,000 a month for your apartment, and now you have to pay taxes to fund everybody else's free lifestyle.
tim pool
This is wild to me.
Traugott says, I lived in San Antonio my entire life.
The areas around the immigrant facility has changed.
Crime has definitely gone up.
The neighborhoods in that area were pretty quiet.
Now there's illegals knocking on people's doors.
It's kinda wild to me that...
I'm imagining like France and there's like a French village in you know I don't know the 1400s or whatever and then a bunch of British people start just like running full speed into their town and they're like oh look we're being we're being enriched and then there's like pillaging and fighting and crime and they're just like I can't believe this is happening what's happened to our town like that that's that's not how No, this is a total invasion.
And people are just standing there being like, would you look at that?
The police are facilitating smuggling.
libby emmons
They say anti-immigration rhetoric is a problem, and that anti-immigration rhetoric and discussing how you don't like the government, this is part of the misinformation and conspiracy theories.
No, get the hell out of my town.
We don't need you here.
hannah claire brimelow
There are red counties all along the border of Texas that are predominantly Hispanic, and they got more red under Trump.
There is people who legally immigrated, who settled down, who built communities.
No, they don't.
I mean, can you imagine if it was like, I did everything by the book, but if I hadn't, I would have actually gotten more benefits and special treatment.
That seems crazy to me.
It is crazy.
And it ultimately undermines the idea that we reward people who respect our government and our culture enough To try and assimilate and follow the rules.
serge du preez
It undermines people that live in this country, too, like Tejanos, Chicanos, that have been here before the United States, who were here when it was part of Spain, and have been here and are Americans, and have just been told, like, oh, you're now an illegal immigrant.
But in reality, they've been here longer than anyone has.
hannah claire brimelow
And more than that, it's the Democrats being like, well, because of the color of your skin, we think that you'll be sympathetic to us.
serge du preez
Right, right.
Very true.
libby emmons
It's more of that low-key racism they got going.
hannah claire brimelow
I feel like it's high-key.
I think we should just call it what it is.
tim pool
All right, Tusnalorum says, the original story is literally that Lilith was an insane feminist, got turned into a snake for refusing to follow Adam's direction, then God stole one of his ribs and made Eve from it and said, look, now you aren't equal, obey him.
Huh.
Yeah.
I do think the story is kind of funny because it's like, if there was a man and a woman in the middle of the wilderness, on average, if the guy was like, hey, we have to do these things, someone was like, no, I'm not listening to you and ran off, she'd probably die.
hannah claire brimelow
I think men and women are complementary and they should work together, and so I think that's okay, right?
Like, I don't think that women should feel like partnering with a man is a threat to them, and I think that's one of the problems with feminism.
tim pool
But I view it kind of like, you are in a burning building and the firefighter says, do what I tell you, and you go, no way!
And then you run upstairs, and then you die.
unidentified
Don't tell me what to do, man!
tim pool
The narrative here about Lilith and this show is that the guy is just like, I'm the boss.
As opposed to being, I am trying to save your life, listen to what I am telling you.
But you know what?
To be honest, you can bring a horse to Harvard, but you can't make him learn.
serge du preez
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
serge du preez
It's funny, like Lilith was always to me is like the, he was like the, she's like the ex, the crazy ex of Adam.
And so until God felt so bad, he was like, here, I'll make you a new woman.
I kind of screwed up.
That's what I've always thought.
I'm sorry.
tim pool
God shows up and he's like, oof, what happened?
It's like, she was a feminist, dude.
That's my bad.
Let me try and help you out there and give you a tradwife.
libby emmons
She was into abortions.
We can't have that in the garden.
Makes no sense.
serge du preez
Yeah, we're the first two people.
It's really bad policy.
tim pool
I love the idea that Lucifer was attracted to her fierce independence.
unidentified
Do you not like that, women?
hannah claire brimelow
I always wondered that.
libby emmons
Fierce independence?
hannah claire brimelow
Fierce independence.
I feel like that's the thing when guys are like, I just love that you're so low-maintenance.
It's like, because then I don't have to put any effort in.
libby emmons
Right.
hannah claire brimelow
You're so independent!
Like, just, then I never have to call you or remember your birthday.
Like, no.
libby emmons
Don't have to ask you out for Fridays.
No.

Dolph Oodle says, it is not fiction.

Torgetron says, listen every day, read SCNR regularly.
It gave me the wisdom to kindly change my girlfriend's mind on Trump.
She'll be voting for him thanks to you.
Well, it's actually thanks to you.
All we can do is, to the best of our ability, tell you the truth.
If you're able to sort through it and discern what is actually going on through the work we are doing, it's actually thanks to you that you've convinced someone.
So, you know, we can light the beacons, but it's you who must tell everyone that they have been lit.
So, uh, I appreciate it, and thanks for following the show.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, if she's submitted to you, you do have to marry her now.
libby emmons
You should just marry that girl.

Alright, Camgirl Asuna says, Tim, you know your idea to build culture falls apart if the left can just amnesty illegals to vote for them every so often, right?
How do you expect that problem to be solved peacefully?
Illegals will not be swayed by culture.
Who said the solution to illegal immigration will be peaceful?
I believe that when Trump enacts mass deportations, we would not call the arrest of criminals peaceful.
When a police officer Serves a warrant and kicks a door in.
I wouldn't call it peaceful, but I would call it lawful.
Hopefully no one is hurt.
But if you're a criminal who broke the law to steal from this country and from the other immigrants who are coming here legally, then we are going to remove you.
And it's very simple.
If law enforcement comes to you and says, sir, you are under arrest.
Place your hands behind your back.
Well, then it is a peaceful arrest and much of it will be peaceful.
And then the people who fight with cops refuse, and their allies, and various states who do, will make it not peaceful.
So there's that.
But hopefully it will be peaceful in the sense that they just go home.
Alright, my friends, 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 right now, click join us, because the Members Only show is coming up in a few minutes, and it will be disturbing.
Yes, I'm going to say right now, you will be very disturbed by what we're going to show you and talk about, and you have been warned, it is not family friendly, but that's why it's the Members Only Uncensored show, because these are very serious topics.
You can follow the show at TimCast IRL, you can follow me personally everywhere at TimCast.
