tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Texas National Guard has raised the Gonzalez flag amid the fight with the fads and Joe
		And we're all really excited for it.
		But I don't know that actually means anything.
		But it is the most fun news that we have.
		It's been a pretty slow news day.
		The Gonzales flag, for those that don't know, is the come and take it flag with the artillery on it.
		And the story is amazing.
		We talked about it a few nights ago, considering the artillery they were defending.
		The single cannon was relatively small, but they were so defensive of their right to keep it.
		They said, come and take it.
		They were ordered to give it up.
		They said, no!
		We've got a convoy headed down to Texas and there are concerns that this could cause escalation.
		James Lindsay has been saying everybody should leave, don't do this, don't give an opportunity for a false flag, but I think the reality is probably a whole lot of nothing will happen.
		But we do have breaking news as it pertains to the migrant crisis.
		A video was just published that appears to show military, in some fashion, Guarding illegal immigrants at the Atlanta airport.
		And when a man, a state rep, was caught filming, they shut him down and tried taking his phone from him.
		Something weird is going on.
		So we'll talk about that.
		We got other big news.
		James O'Keefe in one of, I gotta say, one of his best exposés ever.
		Apparently he went on a date with a guy and he went It was like a Clark Kent thing.
		He put on glasses and then he starts asking this guy all this stuff about what's going on in the White House.
		This is an executive, uh, what is it?
		He's an employee in the executive office of the White House in cybersecurity who explains they want to replace Kamala Harris.
		They don't know how to do it.
		They know Joe Biden's in mental decline and they're stuck.
		There's a lot more that came out in this report, but the best is probably when James O'Keefe takes his glasses off and says, why are you having a meeting with James O'Keefe if you're working in cybersecurity?
		And the guy's just like dumbfounded.
		I love it.
		It's like, you didn't know that was James because he was wearing glasses?
		And the guy's like, oh, yeah, I've heard of you.
		Oh, wow.
		That's an amazing story.
		So we'll get into all that stuff, but before we do, my friends, uh-oh!
		You know it!
		We are shouting out FactsRap.com.
		That's F-A-C-T-S Rap.com.
		This is Tom McDonald and Ben Shapiro's song.
		The media is losing it.
		They are on track for high rankings in the Billboard Hot 100.
		This is not a promo spot or a sponsored spot.
		I am doing this because I am friends with these guys, and I also would love to get revenge on these woke industries and force our way in there.
		If anybody deserves to break through, it's Tom McDonald.
		He teamed up with Ben Shapiro.
		They're generating a bunch of buzz, and they are competing for the top spot with Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, and it looks like they may win.
		However, Tom pointed out in a new video just how the music industry cheats and is fake and the corporate press is trying to downplay what they're doing.
		The reason I tell you this, this story is more than just haha it's really funny that Tom McDonald got a song with Ben Shapiro.
		We're going to break down how the industry is fake.
		Well, I want to talk to you guys about how they trick people into thinking these demonic music artists who are telling your kids to be degenerates, they're not actually popular.
		They are lying.
		It's a dirty trick.
		And what we're seeing now with Tom and Ben is actually exposing that because So many people are buying this one, but I'm gonna save that for a segment, because we do have an update.
		Washington Post wrote about it, but, uh, facts.

		And according to DHS and TSA, I was an alleged domestic terrorist for two years.
		That's crazy, dude.
		That's fun.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They were stalking you on these planes.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But you've covered a lot of the border crisis stuff.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So this should be interesting, especially as we talk about what's going on with these, quote unquote, militia groups that are going down to the border.
		So it should be fun.
		Thanks for hanging out.
		We got Hannah-Claire Bramello.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Hey, I'm Hannah Claire Brimel.
		I'm a writer for Scanner News.
		That's scnr.com.
		I'm happy to be back this week.
		Brett's here as well.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		Hello, guys.
		I am Brett Dasovic.
		I'm the host of Pop Culture Crisis right here on YouTube.
		Me and Mary Morgan do that show five days a week.
		You should tune in at 3 p.m.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		and watch.
		And I am Serge.com.
		Always a pleasure to have you here, Taylor, as always.
		And yeah, I'm excited for the show.
		Let's get to it, Tim.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's the big news of the day.
		I think it's fair to say there's probably other news, but I'll be real.
		Very slow news day, that's true, but this was the most fun story.
		Texas National Guard flies come-and-take-it flag as border tensions grow.
		This is it.
		Take a look at this.
		Do you guys know what the Gonzales flag is?
		They have this picture, what I love about it.
		Is the flag shows, it's kind of hard to see on the screen, it shows artillery, a single star, and it says, come and take it.
		And it was basically, you know, in Texas, these guys had a cannon, and there was some, you know, military officer, I think it was Mexican, and he was like, you're going to surrender that cannon to me, and they made that flag and said, come and take it.
		And it's just this little artillery.
		It's not very big and it's just one.
		But this symbol that was made that day is, it's powerful.
		Right now there's concerns that Joe Biden will make moves to federalize the National Guard.
		Abbott says nationalizing Texas National Guard would be a severe Biden political blunder.
		But we don't know exactly what's going to happen.
		I think a lot of people, the smart move on Biden's part is to slow down and back off and let things simmer down.
		Otherwise, if he makes a move, it can escalate quickly out of his control.
		But of course, because that happens, everybody seems to think nothing will happen.
		I don't know that that's the case, considering all the other news that we've been seeing and the fact that even with Texas National Guard putting up the razor wire, this has not stopped.
		The bill that's being proposed where Joe Biden's like, I've done everything I can, you got to give me the power.
		The bill they're proposing would give Joe Biden 5,000 criminal aliens.
		I'm not talking about migrants or asylees or whatever.
		5,000 criminal aliens every day would be allowed to cross.
		That's the deal.
		Joe Biden, basically, I gotta give it to him.
		He's a man.
		He must have read the art of the deal.
		Read some Donald Trump.
		The big ask.
		Joe Biden allows wave after wave of criminal migrants to come to this country and then says, how about we stop it at 5,000?
		And that's a deal.
		Brutal.
		I don't know where this goes, Texas National Guard.
		I know you've been down there quite a bit, and you've seen some of this.
		I'm curious, your thoughts, Taylor.
unidentified		Yeah, well, I mean, just in Shelby Park and in Eagle Pass in specific, I mean, it is cleaned up.
		It is day and night difference.
		I mean, when I was down there, I would say at the beginning of January, and I mean, they went, I did a little tour with National Guard.
		They were nice enough to let me in and actually go and see the razor wire.
		and they kind of gave me the ends of how many crossings had actually been stopped.
		On average, they were averaging anywhere, when I was down there, it was six to four migrants a day
		compared to, I was there the month prior.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Six to 4,000?
unidentified		No, six to four, that's it.
		Whoa, whoa, whoa.
		With National Guard in Shelby Park, in one of the regions in the Del Rio sector
		that used to be one of the most popular, and I mean, they were shattering records
		every single month with the amount of migrants.
		It was like 10,000 per day.
		Well, in the month before that, if you guys saw the kind of makeup apprehension site where you had thousands, I mean, filling in every single 10 minutes as one line is cleared, another line fills, that's how much of a difference that it has made in that one sector.
		So now you're seeing rises in the Arizona sectors and migrants are making their way over there or 15 miles, you know, upland.
		And now they're crossing in that area, but it's still not nearly as much.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So it is working.
		This is the challenge of separate states, sovereign states.
		The Biden administration as a federal agency just wants to bring in criminal aliens.
		So when Texas says we're going to push back, all the Biden administration has to do is, well I shouldn't say the Biden administration, but whoever is communicating with the cartels to let them know how to operate, Send them to Arizona.
		I'm sure they got CBP down there that's willing to facilitate the human smugglers operations.
		And if anybody who lives there tries to defend their property, we will put them in prison.
		That seems to be the case.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And this wasn't the case under Doug Ducey, who was really supportive of Abbott.
		He also busts people out of state.
		It's apparent to me how obvious the changes in our state leadership are to people in other
		countries, right?
		We have we know people pay attention to the America's presidential elections, but I think
		the turnover from a Republican governor to a Democratic governor immediately opened up
		Arizona in a way that became apparent to the international community that's looking to
		perforate the border.
unidentified		Yeah, well, in Arizona is an absolute mess right now.
		If you look at, like, Ali Bradley or any of the reporters of the News Nation that are down there, they did a really good job at covering it.
		And now you're seeing numbers spike in that area once again, while the Del Rio sector is drastically dropping.
		And, you know, there's a big difference between those two sectors, the kinds of migrants that you get through.
		You get a lot of Chinese nationals coming through in the Arizona sectors.
		They're treated a lot differently in Tapachula, which is kind of the conglomeration grounds in Mexico, where You know, they're kind of sent up.
		I mean, they have full-blown hotels and, you know, routes and guides for these Chinese people because they have more money.
		So then they're guided into over in, you know, the Tijuana area, and they're treated, you know, with respect.
		They don't really have to go through the cartels, but the Venezuelans, the Hondurans, those types that you're seeing come through Eagle Pass consistently, you know, they're oftentimes being traded from cartel to cartel every single step of the way.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You were down there before the National Guard shut everything down, right?
unidentified		Yep.
unidentified		And then afterwards as well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So explain what it looks like when CBP's in charge.
unidentified		When CBP is in charge, it's an absolute mess.
		I mean, it is migrants coming in at all times of the day, all times of the night.
		Most of the biggest influxes you see is anywhere between like 5 to 9 a.m.
		in the morning.
		That's really when you see them get hit hard with the big caravans that cross over.
		You'll have an NGO.
		Last time I was in Mexico, I like to report from the Mexico side because I feel that's kind of where the story actually is.
		You can follow the caravans over and the NGOs, they're located in Mexico.
		They'll have, you know, two double wide, basically barn doors that they have Anywhere between a few hundred to a thousand migrants in that are ready to go that morning, and then they'll walk them down to the river, the coyote will if they have one, and then they'll cross them into the Rio Grande, and then they'll be put in that makeshift apprehension site.
		At least that's how it was last month.
		Criminal aliens?
		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You accidentally said migrant?
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I have tremendous respect for migrants who come to the United States, believe in the American Dream, apply at the appropriate border crossing, and say, thank you for everything.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Every opportunity you've afforded me, I hope that the paperwork moves through and I can come to your country.
unidentified		Well, none of them are actually going through the checkpoints, and that's for a reason.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, no, no.
		Migrants are.
		Criminal aliens are not.
		And that's the legal term.
		I think, you know, shout out James Lindsay.
		He had this post where he said, do not use the leftist language.
		It is a political agenda.
		So when we are specifically referring to individuals who are committing crimes against the United States and against Texas, and they're being assisted by the Biden administration, to which the Texas governor has called out the Biden administration for doing, those are the criminal aliens.
		And I just, I would not want to besmirch the good name of migrants, because I like migrants.
		I like the people who respect this country.
		It doesn't mean they get to come in.
		It doesn't mean they get to move here.
		But sometimes they do, and through the appropriate means that's beneficial to the economy, beneficial to the communities.
		What's going on with the southern border and CBP and Biden is the antithesis.
		It is destructive.
		It is chaos.
		The crazy thing to me is, as you described, like these NGOs bringing these big caravans.
		What's their goal?
unidentified		just sowing chaos and hurting these people? Basically, every single step of the way. I mean,
		they get paid every single step of the way. A lot of the NGOs that operate in Mexico are also
		operating in America, or they're working together in some fashion or some capacity. So you'll have
		them cross, and then immediately after they're done being processed, the NGO will step in, which,
		you know, in Eagle Pass and all these other border towns, they quite literally have buildings there,
		and then they start facilitating these migrants. And then, you know, the one in San Antonio that
		I was at last month, or at the beginning of January, where San Antonio PD was essentially
		running private security facilitating the human smuggling of these illegals, they
		Who's paying it?
		The NGOs.
		put them in this area for an X amount of time and then they say, hey, you know, if
		you can afford your own ticket or they kind of phrase it in a little more
		aggressive manner, they try and get these illegals to buy their own tickets.
		And then if they aren't willing to buy their own tickets after a certain amount
		of time or they can't afford it, they'll end up saying, OK, we can pay half.
		And then they still can't afford it.
		They end up paying the full thing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who's paying? Who's paying it?
unidentified		The NGOs. Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, they should be they should be there should be some kind of criminal
		investigation charges against the organizations for facilitating illegal
		I mean, it's laughable.
		CBP, the only reason the cartels and the smugglers are able to operate is because CBP was like, we got you.
unidentified		Absolutely.
		Well, that's the same thing with the, you know, San Antonio PD running security for this facility.
		They are essentially taking cartel money because cartels will pay these NGOs because they're doing their dirty work and their groundwork for them.
		And then it's washed through San Antonio, the city of San Antonio, essentially, and then given to these officers at a higher rate than they're already being paid, which San Antonio PD, they're already getting paid good money, but they're still willing to go and do this in uniform and actually guard these migrant facilities and essentially threaten you with arrest if you keep asking them questions as they did with me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Feels like there is a boa constrictor on the neck of this country, slowly just squeezing and squeezing.
		And man, the challenge is discipline.
		I feel like the best thing we can do is hope that by voting for Donald Trump, he gets in.
		And starts the reverse course.
		And there's no guarantee that happens.
		But that is the best path forward we have right now.
		That being said, Greg Abbott seems to have done a lot to abate this, but now we need Arizona and New Mexico to do the same.
		New Mexico won't.
		New Mexico will always just say, we're an open door.
		They're Democrat-run.
		They're trying to ban guns.
		They're doing a whole bunch of crazy stuff.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, New Mexico, Arizona, California, they're not going to do anything.
		And I think that's one of the reasons Abbott taking such a strong stance was a rallying cry.
		We saw so many what over 25 states said, we're with you, we're going to support you.
		And they aren't all necessarily directly attached to the border, but they feel the burdens of illegal immigration as well.
		Especially the Biden administration has moved people who come illegally throughout the country.
		And this becomes a nationwide problem.
		I think for a long time it was marketed as, well, it's just Texas's problem.
		It's just in the border communities.
		And, you know, that frustration really lit a fuse.
		And I mean, Operation Lone Star, Abbott's initiative to close the border and to add more state power behind efforts to restrict illegal immigration, Has been going on since 2021.
		I mean, he launched it alongside the Biden administration, and they're really seeing this come to a head after four years.
unidentified		Well, and you see a lot of those states that are actually signing on are actually receiving an influx of illegal migrants, too, or I should say criminal aliens, as Tim states it.
		Well, that's that's the legal term of it.
		And I mean, even Utah, I remember when I was flying back from my San Antonio and Las Eagle Pass trip, I'm looking at these illegals pass.
		I mean, these basically these boarding passes that are makeshift and they're completely different most of the time than most other boarding passes.
		And I'm looking through some and I look at my gate and I see six right there.
		And I was like, there's no way they're coming to Utah out of all places.
		And lo and behold, they're coming to Utah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They're in Chicago.
		They're being flown private jets.
		I mean, it's just absolutely nuts to think.
		You out there.
		Listen, hardworking American.
		You lived your whole life, you followed the rules, you didn't break any laws, you got a job, you went to school, you got married, you had kids.
		And you see on Instagram and you see in the news, these people getting to fly on these private jets.
		And you think, you know, what did I have to do differently in my life to be able to fly in a private jet?
		Apparently, you need to be born in a third-world country and then illegally enter the United States because they are putting these people on large private jets, flying them through private jet terminals to big cities, giving them hotel rooms, cell phones, and debit cards with thousands of dollars in cash.
unidentified		And they get expedited security, too.
unidentified		So that's a fun part of it all.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's another big story we have.
		Let's take a look at this from Daily Caller.
		Check this one out.
		Exclusive!
		Video appears to show migrants tucked away in hidden room under military guard at major US airport.
		We actually have the video here from Daily Caller.
		I don't know if everyone... I don't even know if you can see it because of the way... They needed to rotate this.
		Yeah, they should have just rotated the video.
		Why didn't the Daily Caller rotate the video?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		They were busy.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It was breaking.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So in this video... I'm gonna play.
		I'm gonna lower the volume.
		There's a man.
		It's up here at the top.
		You can see a guy in some kind of military uniform.
		I don't know if he's National Guard or if he's Army or what he might be.
		But it's hard to see because they also put their watermark over it.
		Yeah, so I don't know how to show it to you any better, those that are watching.
		But apparently, this was filmed by a state senator.
		Let me get the details on this.
		State Senator Colton Moore, a Republican.
		Vice Chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus took the video.
		Apparently, when he tried to film directly, this guy in uniform went up to him and told him he was done, shut him down, tried to take his phone from him.
		So that would indicate, I know they're trying to be careful here, saying, appears to show migrants under military guard.
		Fair point, because we don't know if this guy's actually in the military.
		We don't know who this guy is.
		But I think, I think you can say it does show it.
		Now the question is, who is this guy?
		Was he given direct orders to protect illegal immigrants, criminal aliens?
		Or is he acting with his own volition?
		Is he working private?
		We don't know what's going on.
		But this is just one grain of sand in the, if you knew actually how bad things were.
		Like, look, for years we've known the Biden administration was smuggling children.
		Criminal?
		Illegal?
		I should say, for the kids, they're brought here by their parents.
		I guess criminal alien applies, I'm not entirely sure.
		But undocumented children brought here by cartels, smugglers, and their parents are then put on planes by the Biden administration and flown to Tennessee, to New York, to other cities and states in the middle of the night.
unidentified		It's insane to me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Biden administration has been doing this for years.
unidentified		Do you know what airport this is in?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do they say that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's Atlanta.
unidentified		So it's an Atlanta airport.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's Hartsfield, I think.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
unidentified		It looks like I need to take a visit to Atlanta.
		I mean, kudos to the senator for filming this, but he should have walked up to the National Guard or whoever it was and said, what are you doing here?
		Why are you guarding this?
		In what capacity are you working?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		If he was working independently, then who would have been funding him?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		NGOs?
unidentified		Well, and why is he wearing his uniform?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		You would be against policy, right, to wear a uniform?
unidentified		At least with the police departments, they have to get approval through the city and through their police chief.
unidentified		I'm not sure how it works in the military.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's gotta be National Guard.
unidentified		Yeah, it doesn't seem right though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because of posse comitatus.
		Armed forces can't be used for domestic law enforcement unless... There are some exceptions.
		I think the Insurrection Act is one.
		So I'm assuming it's a National Guardsman in Georgia who's been sent for some reason.
		But I gotta tell you, like...
		I'm going to say this, if this is true, that these are criminal aliens, this state senator said a whistleblower came to him and told him this was going on.
		If that is a room of criminal aliens being trafficked, being smuggled, and that guardsman is protecting them, I want to see him in prison.
		Absolutely lock them up.
unidentified		Well, that's the biggest thing is people are so lenient with everybody that's doing this I mean like I think the San Antonio PD officers that I confronted I think they should be in prison a hundred percent Why are you in an official capacity or unofficial capacity in your uniforms you've been using your service weapons using your cars?
		Allowed to facilitate human trafficking and smuggling into America when that's illegal and it's something you should actually be investigating.
		It's insane It makes absolutely no sense in my mind And this isn't the worst of it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's funny that, you know, this video comes out.
		This is a Daily Caller exclusive.
		This is Jenny Tear.
		And it's just like, I think we can all surmise it's much worse than we realize.
		You know, James O'Keefe, for instance, exposes these buses that are driving criminal aliens.
		There is a massive human smuggling network to the tune of billions of dollars that's been full swing over the past couple of years under Joe Biden.
		And Joe Biden's in on it.
		I got a question.
		Is his family getting kickbacks?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Probably.
		I mean, you can't trust anything the Biden family does, in my personal opinion.
		Part of this is- Anything.
unidentified		Nothing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He could rescue puppies and I'd be like, what was that?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I honestly would think it was staged because there's no way that man can move fast enough to rescue a puppy.
		But the thing is, the illegal immigration under Biden has increased by basically a million people every year, cumulatively at over six million people.
		So, of course, this system is starting to burst at the seams.
		I mean, if you look at the Massachusetts Logan Airport in Boston, there are migrants, there are videos of migrants just sleeping on the floor.
		There's nowhere for them to go.
		For years Massachusetts has been saying, I mean at least for the last six months I should say, Massachusetts has been warning, we're at capacity, we don't have any place to put anyone, we need to do something.
		And there's sort of no answer because the federal government has refused to enforce immigration law, refused to ally itself with the states that are acting to defend themselves, and now we're all paying the consequences.
		It is not.
		Obviously, I think if you enter this country illegally, you are obviously a criminal, you're doing something wrong.
		But I can understand that they are also suffering in the conditions that they are being housed in.
		No one wants to sleep on the floor of an airport indefinitely.
		No one benefits from this system except for Joe Biden and Democrats who theoretically could maybe stash people in states and tip the census in their favor.
unidentified		Even then, they're not just being stashed in airports either.
		I mean, we see it in Chicago O'Hare Airport too.
		There's a whole section of tents that are now being marked off to media after Ben Berkwan went down there and basically exposed what was going on to the extent that it was going on.
		They have little privacy flyers on it.
		Do not enter.
		You know, it's essentially like they're living there.
		But on top of that, a lot of the times when I talk to these illegals in the airport, They have no idea where they're going, and then their pickup, I asked to see what their WhatsApp is, because that's where they do all the facilitation with the NGOs.
		And almost every single time, they're heading to a local community center that has basically been, I don't know if it's rented out or what's going on, but they're basically all being conglomerated and put in rec centers for who knows.
		So they're either sleeping on the rec center floor, or they're sleeping in the airport somewhere, or they're just disappearing.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		And even if it's not kickbacks per se, everyone knows right now that bringing in that demographic is voting block material in future elections because the elections aren't safe either a lot of the time.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, young military age men.
		So great.
		No, I think all of this is is it's interesting to me to see how much the conversation around the border and immigration have shifted over the last basically 20 years, right?
		I mean, there were times when this wasn't a subject that conservatives would touch at all.
		And now, you know, maybe not super effectively, but at least they are willing to say we're not doing anything until the border is a top priority, and I think that's the best thing they can do for their constituents.
		Any elected Republican should know that this isn't just something that we do to not encourage people to indignify themselves by crossing illegally into this country, but it's to say, I prioritize the people who put me in office.
		I want you guys to feel safe and feel as though the resources that your tax dollars are supposed to support go to you.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It is weird how like, even like during the Obama administration, illegal border crossing was something that was at least, they paid lip service to it, right, in some way, shape or form.
		And that kind of disappeared when Trump got elected.
		And it became such a contentious issue, kids in cages, things like that.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And it's kind of become... Well, I feel like under Obama, the narrative was, we deserve, people need help.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And it's our obligation as this powerful, wealthy nation to, you know, Help them, whatever else.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		But they talked about the border fence and like it was at least paid lip service.
unidentified		Obama actually built a portion of the wall as well.
		A lot of people don't understand that.
		Part of that wall actually was built in the Obama administration.
		Also, the cages were built in the Obama administration.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
unidentified		That's something people don't know.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, I think they changed the name.
		They only became cages when Trump got elected.
		I think that they were migrant holding facilities until then and then they became cages.
		And now they're migrant holding facilities again.
unidentified		Well, the biggest difference between it's all about who's in office and who knows how to actually use their power and who controls the media at this point.
		So when Democrats are in office, it's always a humanitarian issue and we need to save these people.
		We're a nation with the money to save these people and to give them the lives that they need and deserve.
		Allegedly.
		And then when Trump's in office or somebody in the GOP is in office, then, oh, it becomes an issue of we are essentially attacking these people and denying them their basic human rights to illegally cross into our country.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So... Someone super chatted.
		This is, um...
		What is it, Latin 342?
		That the guy in the video is wearing a brown round, the hat, and that National Guard don't have that.
		It's a drill sergeant hat, so it's gotta be federal.
		I don't know where in the video you can see that.
		It does look, for a brief, small portion, there may be a brim off the back of his head.
		I don't know if you can tell if that is a full hat.
		I mean, for all we know, he's wearing a backwards baseball cap.
		I doubt it.
		I doubt a guy in uniform would be wearing that.
		But that would be interesting, nonetheless.
		Don't know for sure.
unidentified		Well, the senator that is recording this video is watching right now.
unidentified		Send me the details and I'll be there in a few days to ask questions.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Or he can just send you the details and say, yes, the guy was wearing a brown round and describe the patch on his arm and we can figure out if this guy's working for the federal government.
		It may be.
		It may be.
		Look, I mean, I mean, that would be a huge scandal, I'd imagine, if U.S.
		armed forces federally were facilitating this because That's, I mean, that might be into the area of a military coup outright.
unidentified		Well, especially with what you have going down in Shelby Pass right now.
		You know, they're allowed to stop it, but they're actually not allowed to stop it according to the Biden administration.
		But then on one side, if this actually is somebody in the Army or the National Guard, then they're actively facilitating it while trying to nationalize the National Guard in Texas.
		So you have a huge, you know, butting of heads issue right there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, this is, if that is Federal Armed Forces.
		I don't know what you'd call this, because, you know, I've described what Joe Biden's been doing as a seditious conspiracy.
		Treason typically refers to, or more likely refer to, acts of war and supporting enemies.
		Treason, being a traitor, right?
		What does it mean to be a traitor?
		You're helping the enemy, okay?
		So, let's say, you know, Taylor and Hannah Clare are fighting over a slice of cake, and then I'm like, you know, I bought, I'm here to defend you, it's your cake, and then I go behind your back and go, I'm a traitor.
		I betrayed you, right?
		That's treason.
		Sedition would just be like trying to destroy this country.
		And it seems like that's what is going on.
unidentified		I love that example.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		But I have to imagine perhaps it's treason.
		I mean, if they're working with cartels, it is treason then.
		Because now they're aiding and abetting an enemy that we are in active conflict with.
		That's nuts, man.
		I don't know what to say.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And the Biden administration, no matter what happens, will say, you guys are crazy.
		This has always been the way things are done, or you didn't see it right.
		This is a right-wing conspiracy.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		And the media will run cover for them.
		I mean, that's why I lose a lot of faith.
		Whenever we cover any stories like this, when you hear any stuff like this, I just don't see it reaching the average American because everyone's so in their echo chambers anyways.
		The people who will get this media, the ones who are searching it out, whether they're using alt media like this or they watch Fox or OAN or
		anything like this, they already agree with you and the people that you would like to reach and
		hopefully show that this is happening, they're not going to be watching any media that actually catches on
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		to this. But it's still, you know, the information must spread. Yes. And I mean, it is
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		fascinating to hear how the migrant crisis has really shifted a lot of people in this country towards the
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		right. And I think it has been a slow boil issue. I think it's been a slow boil issue.
		I think concern about the border has increased over the last ten years.
		I mean, even under Trump, when Trump was saying, I want to build the wall, there were people who were excited about that because they already felt the burdens of immigration on their community, especially illegal immigration.
		The idea that under Biden, it got worse on top of everything else that Biden has done.
		I don't know that there is enough spin out there.
		I think it has really punctured through mainstream narrative.
		I think even people who are not political.
		Start to say, yeah, why are we letting this happen?
unidentified		Well, I mean, just the San Antonio video that I filmed earlier this month, it breached over, I think, 4.5 million just on Twitter off of Tenet's page and not including the repost on Instagram, on Twitter, I mean, on multiple different, I mean, it went viral on Facebook as well and on multiple YouTube channels.
		So you're still breaking into the apparatus of, you know, normies, so to call.
		Yeah.
		And which that's a good thing, which I think if any issue is going to change people's minds on what's going on in the country, It's going to be this issue, because you can go into any airport.
		I always encourage people to do this.
		Pretty much any airport in the country.
		Look around for manila or clear envelopes.
		You're going to see illegal immigrants on your flight or on flights around you and wandering throughout the airport.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's jump to the story from NBC News.
		Some supporters of a far right convoy headed to Texas border are calling for civil war.
		We love NBC News.
		They are crackpot far-leftists.
		But, uh, sure.
		A group that referred to itself as God's Army said it was planning three peaceful assemblies on Saturday.
		The convoy has attracted only a small number so far.
		Well, like 12 people, I think.
		They say it's a trucker convoy of self-described patriots headed toward the U.S.
		border with Mexico.
		They've expressed violent rhetoric before.
		Ah, you see.
unidentified		But they don't give examples.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They don't give examples.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		They never give examples.
unidentified		Trust us.
unidentified		It's fine.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It's like when they say that they have specific tweets that are bad and they never actually include the tweets in the article.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do not.
		This is why I agree with James Lindsay.
		James Lindsay said do not go down there.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Oh yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I agree.
		I think you go to Texas, stay away from the border.
		Let Greg Abbott do his job.
		We've already learned today from a field reporter who's actually been there that what Greg Abbott has set up has massively worked.
		You were saying before it's Bedlam and then once the National Guard comes in now it's four to six.
unidentified		Which is an insane contrast.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Single digits from 10,000 I think, was 10,000 the whole border though?
unidentified		So it's in certain, they break it up into sectors.
		When I was down there, they were breaking records every single month.
		So you had thousands coming through.
		It wasn't like 10,000 all at once.
		You never see any crossings like that, but you do see thousands per day sometimes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And as soon as the National Guard of Texas takes over, it has mostly solved the problem.
		If people show up and get in the way, you're getting in the way of the guys winning.
		No, don't do that.
		Don't do that.
		Especially because it looks like NBC is trying to prime normies to expect violence and calls for civil war.
		So do not give them an opportunity to false flag.
unidentified		And almost likely be down there covering whatever this turns into.
		But I don't really see it going very far.
		I mean, I saw Fox News hit the other day where they said 700,000 vehicles were on their way, which I don't know where After they came up with that number, I've been in contact with people in the convoy.
		It isn't happening.
		That's not how big they are.
		Yeah, you have a few thousand people heading down, but there's also three different endpoints.
		So they're going to be split up between three different endpoints in different sectors of the border.
		So I'm not expecting, you know, a huge crowd there, but articles like this is basically just priming people and prepping people for what would be a false flag.
		Like, what are you possibly going to do going down to the border to actually help National Guard, or to help the good guys win in this case.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It was very different than the Turk Convoy, where they're basically locking down all around Canadian Parliament and saying, we're going to make your life so difficult because you have made our life so difficult.
		I don't really see the same symbolic thing.
		I understand wanting to show your support, obviously wanting to do something.
		I like the idea of call to action, but ultimately, anyone I know who knows about this has started being like, feds, feds everywhere.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And a lot of people think it's going to be J6 all over again.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		I feel like that about anything where there's any amount of protest now, right?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Because it's not a matter of who goes, it's a matter of who controls the media narrative around what happens, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, but I don't think the media narrative matters as much as people think.
		I'm well beyond this.
		Like, we just saw digital media implode over the past few weeks, and it's been in freefall for the past couple of years.
		One of the worst days ever.
		They gotta call it, like, bloody Thursday or something, how many layoffs there were this week.
unidentified		Taylor Lorenz's video of her complaining at all of it. I mean, they're laying people off during election season, you
		know election writers as well We're a Zane, but I have a problem with you know, people
		not attending like I understand protests I understand the point of them. Obviously, they're not
		hyper effective, especially after January 6th But everybody has essentially been neutered after January 6th.
		I was there on January 6th So I understand the ramifications. I'm not saying don't
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		protest don't organize don't get together. Don't have assemblies
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm saying don't go up against CBP on federal jurisdiction during a conflict
unidentified		Especially when Border Patrol has essentially sided with the National Guard in this situation.
		I think the protest was planned before the Shelby Park stuff happened.
		But now that this is actually going on, it does lead to more potential problems.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't buy it.
		And I don't care.
		In Arizona.
		Have you been at the Arizona border?
unidentified		A few times.
unidentified		Not as much as Eagle Pass, though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is CBP facilitating illegal immigration?
unidentified		Everywhere.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Everywhere.
		So when they come out and they're like, no, you know, we agree with Texas, and then they go, now keep the human smuggling running in Arizona.
		I'm like, I don't care.
		You get no free passes.
		Yeah, they've realized they've lost in Texas, but they still got New Mexico, they got Arizona, they got California.
		So they're probably looking at it like, Hey, we're a bunch of human smugglers.
		Texas is going up against us.
		If we go to war with them, it could screw the whole operation up.
		Let's call it a loss and then shift all the cartel operations to these states so we can keep getting our kickbacks or whatever it is they're doing.
unidentified		Well, and the reality is, is they haven't even lost in Texas at this point.
		Just in the Shelby Park and Eagle Pass sector, which is where most migrants, I mean, illegal migrants do come through because 15 miles upwards, you're still having, you know, illegal migrants cross this area.
		So it's still happening.
		You're just not seeing these massive groups, but you are still allowing, they're still allowing people to be processed.
		And there are rumors that, you know, any immigrants that are being, you know, basically detained by National Guard are essentially being handed off to CBP.
		There are some videos out there.
		So it could still just be, you know, it could just be for looks, which would be a shame, but I don't think it is that in this case.
		But they need to do this for all of Texas, the entirety of the Texas border, if they're actually serious about stopping illegal immigration completely.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think when we see the actions of a lot of people on the right, I shouldn't say the right, you know, but there are people who claim to be anti-establishment who, in two seconds, jump ship and went full, full-on establishment at a moment's notice.
		And I wonder what would happen if a civil war actually broke out.
		And I genuinely believe, if in Texas, something kicked off between the feds.
		First, people should understand this.
		When we had Eric Prince on the Culture War show, shout out to Tenet Media, Friday mornings, 10am, he said, I asked him, like, do you see in the United States similar things to these countries you've been in?
		And he said, the one thing I can tell you is that everybody I know who's been in these countries, they said it happened overnight.
		One day you went to bed, everything was fine, you woke up, the internet's out, electricity's out, you have no idea what's going on.
		And that's true if you're in the conflict region.
		What is also true is that most places, it'll be nothing.
		What'll happen, you're in New York, right?
		You'll go down to your bodega to get a, I don't know, maybe you wanna get a turkey with American cheese and a Kaiser.
		Oh man.
unidentified		Is that what they eat out there?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I used to, so I would get, whenever I would go to the bodegas, yeah.
		I'd be like, Turkey, White American, Yellow American, Mayo, Kaiser, heated up, so good.
		I love me my bodegas.
		But you're gonna be there, and you're gonna see the clerk who you know, your neighbor, and you're gonna be like, and he's gonna be like, 13 more dead down at Eagle Pass.
		The fighting's getting crazy down there, and you'll go, wow, that's crazy.
		Anyway, you see the parade at the park?
		We're gonna go check it out, you're gonna be there later?
		Alright, see you there!
		When I was in, uh, I went to Ukraine in 2016, and, or 2017, and this is ongoing fighting happening in the Donbass region at the time, but it was limited skirmishes.
		Nobody in Kiev had said anything like this, whatever.
		And it was funny because when the fighting first kicked off, people were saying civil war.
		But then, Donald Trump becomes president, the fighting starts simmering down, and I go there, my friend's like, we don't say civil war, it's just separatists fighting.
		And I'm like, fascinating.
		And it was completely out of sight, out of mind for everybody there.
		Went to a sushi restaurant, went to a, I don't know what you'd call it, fast casual with buffet style and got cabbage and beef, it was delicious.
unidentified		Had fun.
		Well, I think the U.S.
		is a very unique place in the aspect of it's probably going to happen just like you're saying it's happening is, you know, you'll have different regions of the U.S.
		that aren't affected by it at all.
		It's just news to them.
		And a lot of people, they won't even hear about the news at all.
		They won't even understand that anything is going on.
		And then finally, you will have something crack that does affect the rest of the country.
		But the way that the U.S.
		is set up and the way that our economy and everything else is set up in this country, I don't think it's just going to be an overnight thing, blackout completely, you know, all across the United States.
		And it very well could be Eric Prince is a genius.
		I mean, he knows his stuff for sure.
		But the way that we're set up here in the U.S.
		is very unique compared to all these other regions that experience massive attacks like this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If you're in these border regions where fighting breaks out, yeah, you're going to wake up with no electricity.
		I mean, the federal government's going to be like, we need to cut off their energy, we need to cut off their communications.
		You're going to wake up and have no internet, your phone's not going to work, and there's going to be a military insurrection act declared.
		There will be either Texas or federal military securing the area saying everything's under control, go back inside your house, and you're not going to know who's who.
		Imagine you're in Texas, near Shelby Park Eagle Pass.
		You're in the city or whatever.
		And an APC pulls up, and guys in military uniforms jump out.
		The average person can't tell the difference between National Guard and Army.
		And this guy just... They pull up, they park the trucks out, they're standing guard.
		You get out of your house, there's something going on.
		They're like, ah, everything's cool, man.
		You know, name's Jim.
		We're just doing security because there's been some conflict stuff going on, but you got nothing to worry about.
		Have a nice day.
		Which, who is it?
		Which faction is it?
		You won't even know.
		It's like that trailer for Civil War.
unidentified		Yeah, what kind of American are you?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They don't know who he is!
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Well, the most unrealistic thing about that is a Texas-California alliance.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, that's totally realistic.
		The movie has Texas and California as their own countries, not as two countries working together.
		It is not one country with two states.
		Texas and California, both wanting independence, would align militaristically to defend their sovereignty.
		They wouldn't be operating under the same governance.
		So that makes a lot of sense.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		They were flying like one flag though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Two stars.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but there's like a NATO flag.
		Here's my point when I was saying earlier.
		You've got Florida.
		A lot of prominent conservative voices in Florida.
		If civil war or some kind of hot separatist action or whatever breaks out in Texas, I'm not saying it will, who knows, I guarantee you will get these right-wing personalities immediately saying, I'm on the side of Joe Biden.
		And I'm not talking about, right now, it's easy to be like, Texas is in the right.
		But if it comes to the point where Texas is in active, full-on, bullets-flying conflict, and federal agents are returning fire, and then the Insurrection Act is declared, and then Joe Biden declares, he says, Insurrection, Texas, blah blah blah, it's gonna be real interesting.
		Because the question will be, will Florida say, this is an overreach and abuse of power by the federal government.
		This is an escalation.
		What will states say?
		And more importantly, for those content creators with a national audience and national ties, which side will they find themselves on?
		That's when you really put people to the test.
		The question is, who do you think is going to win?
		For some people it's, who do they want to win?
		So there'll be some media personalities.
		And I think, I don't want to name anybody and put anybody on the spot, but there's some prominent personalities that are streaming on YouTube and Rumble that I fully imagine would be absolutely on the moral position, whether it is morally right or wrong, whatever anyone does, they're going to stick to their guns.
		There's a handful of people I would imagine outright would just be like, hey guys, I'm with Joe Biden on this one.
		It'll be interesting to see.
unidentified		Well, the people that don't have convictions and can hold themselves to their morals, they're gonna be the side, you know, siding with the federal government, essentially, siding with the big man, and that's really all that it comes down to.
		You side with the side that's in rebellion, or he instates the Insurrection Act, you are now putting a target on yourself, and not a lot of people, especially commentators, are actually willing to go that far.
		They don't want documents like that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'll give you an example.
		Claire Lehman.
		Do you remember her?
unidentified		Off the top of my head, I don't think.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What happened to that lady?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you guys remember Claire Lehman?
unidentified		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She was Intellectual Dark Web.
		She runs Quillette, I believe she probably still does.
		She was of the, you know, the Intellectual Dark Web people were like post-liberal academics, thinkers, and media personalities that had been challenging woke orthodoxy and the establishment narratives.
		Right, and so she's running Quillette, and Quillette was this publication that was like basically disaffected liberal, classically liberal, classically liberal.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I remember that story.
		happened. And Australia set up actual internment camps, were forcefully relocating indigenous
		people. I remember that story. And she came out in full defense of it. Yeah. Why? She's
		living under the boot of an authoritarian regime. And so she's thinking to herself,
		I will go to prison and be locked up in a camp if I speak out against them. So the only
		thing I can do is be on their side.
		And I think you can see the cognitive dissonance and the shattering of her mind because she knew.
		If I start calling out... Howard Springs, we have that t-shirt, like, come vacation to Howard Springs.
		There's one story where three indigenous kids in a small community in the middle of nowhere They came, took them under suspicion of COVID contact, brought them to an internment camp, and locked them up and said, you can't leave.
		They threw blankets over the razor wire, jumped the fence, and escaped.
		And they were hunted down.
		They were trying to arrest them.
		I'm like, Yeah, totally voluntary COVID, you know, camp.
		And she's like, they're not concentration camps.
		I'm like, well, they're literally driving up in vans, taking indigenous people and people from their homes, bringing them to camps and locking them up.
		They're concentrating them.
		Now, okay, fine.
		Fair point.
		You think the allusion to World War II is too strong?
		Internment camps.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But she, this is my point.
		There's gonna be a lot of people.
		Who will flip on a dime, and they would have been the most libertarian people in the world, but the moment they realize, hey, look, man, I live in D.C.
		I live just north of D.C.
		in Maryland.
		I'm going to get arrested in two seconds if I speak up.
		It's going to be interesting to see who does that.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		COVID proved that as well, a lot, how many people kind of fell under the regime as soon as things started getting called that way.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Like you said, she immediately falls in line because of the way things are going, and I think that would continue.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think it's fair to point out, too.
		Not everybody agrees on everything, okay?
		Here we are right now saying to the people who are going down to Texas, we do not want violence.
		We need Trump to win.
		In the event something actually kicked off hot, I am going to maintain that position to hope for stability so that Donald Trump can still take the presidency.
		That being said...
		I don't know, and I'm not going to say anything as to what happens here other than we don't want it to happen.
		You do not want civil war.
		I don't think the average American gets it.
		To be fair, I think the average person who watches a show like this gets it a little bit better, and all of the military veterans get it 100%.
		The world you knew is gone.
		You will continue shopping and eating food and cooking, but man, you ever see a rabbit eating grass outside?
		Just a little ball of stress the whole time.
		You never know when you're about to get snatched up by some bird of prey or some owl or who knows what.
		And so you're hiding all day every day.
		It is not going to be fun.
		You never know when someone's for no reason going to attack you and maybe even accidentally.
		It's just not going to be as chill and comfortable.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Is this the issue Trump runs on?
		Immigration?
		Immigration and economy?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He already is.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He's already run on it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's how he got to 2016.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		People are saying his biggest loss right now is female voters, right?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Does the vote on migrant crisis, does that really push the female voters to his demographic?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I think immigration is becoming a very unifying issue for conservative or even moderate people because the effects are so far-reaching and they can see them all the time.
		The thing is, with the convoy to the border, there are people who want to be involved, who want to be on the ground, whatever else.
		I would say that Abbott has been preparing to be in this position for a long time and it's better to let him work and to be supportive in a different way.
		It's the same thing with Trump.
		I mean, people will criticize Trump saying he didn't do enough when he was in office to achieve, you know, whatever with immigration, but because he was the president, we have advanced this conversation and it's become even more mainstream under a Democratic president.
		They couldn't deny what was going on.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's a story from the New York Post.
		Costco emergency food kits spark wild conspiracy theory by doomsday prepper.
		It's not just a doomsday prepper.
		There are many.
		I think doomsday prepper is where they're trying to goad you.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that language is intentional.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Prepper is fine.
		Not everybody who's prepping is prepping for the doomsday.
		They're prepping because sometimes it rains and when floodwaters come in, you need food.
		But let me just start by saying this.
unidentified		Everyone buys toilet paper.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
unidentified		When COVID hits.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me just say.
		You guys have seen the show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
		What a fun show!
		Man, I remember back in the heyday of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, watching, it was like on ABC, you know, I don't know, how old was I, like 10 years old?
		And they have a lifeline, where you can ask the audience.
		And it only really works with, like, the earlier questions that are kind of easy.
		You know, it would be like, which, you know, which country is the first country to do whatever, and then it's like, I don't know, I'm gonna ask the audience, and then it shows, like most people said, a wisdom of the crowd, it's called.
		What we're seeing with Costco is really interesting.
		They've released these emergency meals you can buy, and we've also pitched our, you know, one of our sponsors, safeandreadymeals.com, Now Costco is selling these ready-wise buckets you can buy that contain, what do they say, 132 pasta meals for $63.99.
		These are price-saving, as it were.
		Why is Costco doing this?
		The conspiracy theory is something bad is about to happen.
		Maybe it's World War III, maybe it's Civil War.
		I think I can up the ante on you.
		It is not just that there is a deep state plot, like the government knows something is going to happen and they want people to buy the stuff to be ready without triggering an alarm.
		Maybe.
		It could be worse in a different way.
		Costco just follows demand.
		Costco is not being told to do this so that they can prepare the population for World War 3.
		They're doing it because the population believes World War 3 is about to happen.
		And the wisdom of the crowd is, we need to stock up on emergency meals right now, and gold, because they're selling gold, because it's about to get bad.
		Costco just simply reacts to the demand.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I think that's entirely true.
		Because the thing is, there are a lot of really good videos about Costco's business model.
		They keep fewer items on the shelves than an average grocery store.
		But the things that are there, they only keep if they're selling.
		And so they will occasionally test items.
		You'll see things that come for a little while and go.
		But if they think that this is something people are going to buy, it's a big decision because they only keep a limited number of items.
		It's interesting to me that Costco has said, people want this item.
		We're going to bring it in and we're going to see how long we can sell it for.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We, so we did, I periodically do pitches for one of our sponsors, safeandreadymeals.com, and when we do, it's only when there's like a big event that scares people, and it's not because people are scared, it's because I genuinely think people should be prepared.
		I don't think it makes sense to, this is why I only do it a couple times per year, maybe like five or six, it'll be like there's a major storm or a blizzard happening, I'll be like, hey guys, you should have emergency food, here's an example as to why you should do it.
		Right now, it's pretty wild, because I believe Costco has analytics on sales and distributors.
		I bet they go to one of their warehouse distributors, and they pay for data on what's coming and going.
		So you get a regional warehouse.
		Like, where do donuts come from, from your favorite donut shop?
		Well, small ones may bake the donuts.
		But the truth is, there will be like, I don't know if Dunkin' Donuts does this, but there will be one big factory that will produce a bunch of donuts, and then ship them out to all the stores.
		If you have a regional warehouse distributor, maybe like Cisco does these things for restaurants.
		Actually, a good example is skateboarding.
		I don't want to speak to any other industry.
		I can speak to how skateboarding works.
		There will be a warehouse.
		The warehouse gets a contract with all the big companies that make wheels, bolts, boards, and they get distributor prices.
		Local skate shops then sign up to buy from that warehouse.
		That's how the system works.
		So imagine Costco goes to that warehouse and says, we will pay you $10,000 for all of your sales numbers.
		Then they see, holy crap, emergency food bins are skyrocketing.
		We carry this.
		We make bank.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and especially since there's someone who's really particular about what they sell.
		I think this speaks to a change in American culture right now, which is that people, the average person who shops at Costco is saying, I want to be prepared.
		Again, it doesn't have to mean Civil War or anything else.
		It could just mean like, I noticed last year we lost power a couple times.
		I noticed last year we couldn't get to the grocery store because the snow was too bad on our hill.
		There are all kinds of reasons.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		The leftists could be blaming climate change.
unidentified		For sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		For sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Look, I hear what you're saying and I understand, but I would take the bet the average person won't say it, but they think the end is nigh.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I wonder if they think the end is nigh or just generally, there is a distrust in the system around them.
		There's this movement towards self-reliance.
		Like, you get food to be prepared because you are thinking about the future.
		And that's a shift away from our general culture of, I want to do things right now, I'm only going to think about right now.
		That's interesting.
		In fact, this should be an extremely encouraging change in Costco's policy because people who think about the future are people you want around you.
		People who are preparing for something bad to happen are concerned about protecting themselves.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I will say this.
		Maybe it's actually just, for like the past two years, I've basically made the pitch, you don't need the apocalypse to buy emergency food.
		And I genuinely think that's true.
		Whenever we do these pitches, I'd say, look, like, you know, there's a hurricane coming, make sure you have emergency food.
		But the reality is, you don't buy it because you think the world is ending.
		You buy it because sometimes it rains.
		And there have been instances where the power has gone out for several days.
		In New York, when Hurricane Sandy hit, Lower East Side was out without power for a while, and a lot of food has spoiled.
		And if people had emergency food in their houses, they'd have been totally fine.
		They'd have, oh, just cracked at the old stockpile.
		But the thing about these meals is you don't eat them.
		You don't.
		So if you have them, you only eat them when you absolutely have no choice.
		So like, you go to like one of these, like Fortitude Ranch, for instance, is like an emergency, I don't call it a bunker.
		It's more like a outdoorsmanship timeshare because in the event the apocalypse happens, sure, you can go there, but they're like, yeah, we have emergency food, but before you ever go into that, you are foraging, you are hunting, you are finding other ways, you are farming, and then when the winter hits and your crop was bad, you crack open the emergency food.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there are things you buy for the future, or you buy them because you don't know when you'll need them and you don't want to be in a position where you're without resources.
		And I think that's, again, extremely interesting.
		People who are saying everything's fine, I don't need to be prepared for the future, are also saying, I believe that everything that's going on right now is okay.
		And I think the majority of people don't feel that way.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Mr. J superchatted that Costco's been selling those in Texas for a long time.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		I was going to say one of the most interesting things would be to see a state-by-state breakdown of which ones are here and which ones are not.
unidentified		I imagine it's probably being sold in Utah as well because the LDS church teaches people to stockpile significantly in case of storms or anything else that may happen.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The point, however, it's that people who did not notice these before are now noticing them.
		So that, you know, actually it's quite simple.
		Costco said, hey, you know, we've been selling these things in Texas and sales have been skyrocketing.
		Let's start carrying them in other stores.
		I think we'll make money.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Capitalism, baby.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And now you can look at it and be like, why are people buying so much of this?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Because you're a good salesman and we should all be prepared.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It could also be the thing that for a lot of them, like they were there.
		It's just that now they are thinking about the end is nigh.
		So they noticed the emergency pack more now than they would have when they were kind of under the illusion that things were better than they were before.
unidentified		I think that's a good cultural shift, though, in general.
		People should be buying things like this on a consistent basis.
		I mean, it just in my mind, it's like people are starting to trust the government less and less, which is, of course, a good thing.
		There's no negative when it comes to that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You actually don't need to buy these things on a regular basis.
unidentified		Oh, no.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I can't speak for Costco.
unidentified		Depending on the size or how long.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		If you're just, like, buying canned food to prepare, that's something you do regularly.
unidentified		Sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Canned foods don't even last that long, to be honest.
		But the emergency buckets that we've pitched last 25 years.
		If they're stored in a cool, dry place, 25 years.
		You buy one, you never buy them again.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Also, remember when the government released that list of things that were like signs of domestic terrorists?
		There was like self-reliance, canning your own goods, making things like that.
		Basically homesteading.
		Yeah, any type of homesteading was labeled as far-right extremist behavior.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I just saw this picture for the first time.
unidentified		Oh, that is awesome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Freeze-dried vanilla ice cream sandwiches?
		What do you do?
		Do you, like, put it in a bowl of milk?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Nah, you just eat it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It sounds like aerospace museums.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, freeze-dried ice cream.
unidentified		I've had freeze-dried ice cream before.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it's like, I don't know, it's like meringue.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's like brittle meringue.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's delicious.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Chewy, delicious.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I think we should get one of these and do a review on this show.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Can you rehydrate it?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		I imagine you could.
		I don't know, I don't see why you couldn't.
		We'd have to freeze it again, obviously, though.
		Yeah, once you rehydrate it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You just stick it in the snowbank.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh yeah, what would happen to the freeze-dried ice?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Would the ice cream just, like, if you rehydrate it, would it just turn to liquid?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's what I think, sir.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		And then you'd have to freeze that again, and then you'd have, like, reconstituted ice cream, which I don't know why you'd do that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I bet if you dipped it in milk, it would be awesome.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it probably would be.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I have never done that, but... I learned that, uh, full-grown cows make up for, like, twelve gallons of milk per day.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's crazy, dude.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		There is something hilariously dystopian about the idea that it's like the end of the world is coming and the businessman is just there like, unbeknownst to anything, is like, oh, people want to buy stuff for the end of the world.
		I guess we'll sell them stuff for the end of the world.
		That's fine.
		It goes on.
		I love it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then the businessman is using the money he gets to prepare for the end of the world.
unidentified		Exactly.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It's perfect.
unidentified		He's the one building the bunker.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		There are companies that were like, oh, you're, I mean, I remember seeing these videos in like 2012 where people will be like, I own a company that will build you a bunker.
		I have this model.
		It's like getting a prefab.
		Sure.
		Like, I don't think it's necessarily bad for people to sell these types of things if you can do it.
		It's just interesting that it has become so mainstream.
		Costco was like, I think the average suburban family might buy one of these meals.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Family meals!
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Like, who is shopping at Costco, you know?
		It's just people who are regular average Americans who might look at it and say, this is worth having.
		Again, good cultural shift.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I have good news.
		Maybe it never gets to that point.
		We have this from scnr.com.
		White House reportedly wants to replace Kamala Harris, acknowledging Biden is in decline.
		This comes from the intrepid work of James O'Keefe, who had... This is one of the most brutal undercover investigations he's done, in my opinion.
		But it is newsworthy, it is important, and it is the fault of the target of the sting operation, or whatever you want to call it, the investigation.
		Okay, so basically, James goes on a date, I guess, with a guy.
		And the guy- Dressed as Clark Kent.
		Dressed as Clark Kent.
		He basically, he puts on, what do you put on, like a vest?
		And glasses.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		He should've parted his hair the opposite way.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Just parts it the other direction.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Am I crazy in thinking he tweeted the other day, like, what if I dyed my hair and wore glasses?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Do you think I'd get recognized?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He probably tweeted that after.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It was probably already done.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I hope so.
		This is a top White House cyber security official speaking with James O'Keefe in disguise.
		James was just wearing glasses in disguise.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He didn't even dye his hair like his tweet.
unidentified		These people are not smart.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's what's important.
		This guy says they've had discussions about removing Kamala Harris but they can't because she's the first black multiracial VP and she's next in line.
		Something everyone on the right has acknowledged.
		They won't say publicly.
		We know they have already discussed it.
		He's also acknowledged the signs of Biden's decline are there, but he's not been clinically diagnosed with dementia.
		And this guy... Look, I'm watching this video from James, and I feel real bad for him.
		I feel bad for this guy, but I don't feel bad enough to where I care, because he works in the executive office of the White House.
		These things that are being said must be said to the American people.
		And the only way we can learn about the fears that the White House has with their failing and ailing president is when someone privately says it.
		They won't go public and say, listen, the American people, we're concerned about this.
		To be fair, fine, security issues may freak people out.
		A functioning government and country, in my opinion, knowing that Joe Biden was incapable, would remove him.
		They would come out and say, we need him to step down, 25th Amendment, we're getting rid of him.
		But they don't want to, because they don't want to lose power.
		In the end, James makes the best point.
		You work in cybersecurity.
		for the White House, and then he takes his glasses off and goes,
		why are you having a meeting with James O'Keefe? And the guy's like, oh yeah, I've heard of you.
		And he's like, you're just telling me everything. And I was like, yeah, I feel bad in the sense
		that this guy thought he was going on a date, and he was just gonna have a good time, and then
		spilled all the beans. I don't, I don't feel well, no, but I feel at a personal level, it's like,
		you know, some guy is gonna have some wine with James O'Keefe.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You thought you were going on a date.
		Turns out you're being set up.
		But here's the issue.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Isn't that fun?
		Here's a question.
		So I was watching this with my girlfriend, and immediately she goes, does he have clearance?
		And I was like, oh man.
unidentified		Not anymore.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right?
		I bet he did.
		And he's saying, yo, you can't go out and tell a random person from the White House office we've discussed having Kamala Harris be replaced on the ticket.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		That's huge.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		What if they know that it's James O'Keefe so they just use it to plant false information?
unidentified		I don't think they're that smart.
unidentified		You're giving them too much of the benefit of the doubt.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		There's a thing, like when they were promoting the Man of Steel, they had Henry Cavill sit directly under a Superman poster and nobody recognized him.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And I think people know James' name, but not everyone knows his face.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I mean, because some of his work is done by other undercover reporters and stuff like that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And James points out, I mean, look, they're working cybersecurity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They should know who James O'Keefe is, you would think.
unidentified		Well, and if they are working cyber security and if he is prominent in cyber security, it would most likely be a top secret security clearance that he has that he just burned on camera in front of how many views does that have now?
unidentified		I mean, probably millions at this point.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It was trending.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Takes off the glasses, like, oh, I remember you from that oligarchy music video.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's got 9.3 million views.
unidentified		And that's just on the original post.
unidentified		So his security clearance is burned at this point, I can almost guarantee it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I need to stress, guys, look.
		As I'm watching this, we were having lunch.
		I had a chicken Caesar salad, blackened chicken.
		It was incredible, by the way.
		Everyone agrees.
		And I just feel bad for this lonely guy who met some dude, probably on some dating app, and it was James O'Keefe the whole time.
		But what I love about this, I'm sorry, I have to say it, is the meme, where it was like, if you are talking to a beautiful woman, it is James O'Keefe.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If you work in tech, if you work for democratic organizations, and the most beautiful woman in the world is super into you, it's James O'Keefe.
		I bet they do.
		This time, it was literally James O'Keefe!
unidentified		I bet it's a super like that they get too.
		It's like, not just a normal like, but they hit him with a super like, the star pops up and everything, makes him feel all giddy inside.
		Then they go on the date and just get absolutely burned on a national level.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think this needs to be stressed though.
		My point, as much as I felt bad.
		James broke one of the biggest stories of the year right here with someone who works in the White House outright saying, we have had meetings about replacing Kamala Harris on the ticket.
		We are not going to, but they've acknowledged that she is unpopular and can't win.
		That is massive, massive scoop that James O'Keefe got by doing this.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But there's the party of unity and coming together.
		It's just crazy to me that the Democratic president can't pull this off.
		I mean, this is It's nice to have confirmation for a thing I think everyone suspected, but really hopefully this is a video that you play to anyone who's moderate or left in your life and say this is from your own camp.
		This is someone who actively supports Biden.
		They work in his White House and they're saying the VP and president are frayed at best and also no one likes this VP and also we think he has dementia.
		This is your strong leadership for the nation right now.
		Is this what you want?
unidentified		I feel like you could, but at the same time a lot of these people are so disillusioned.
		They'll take like the Mark Cuban stance of like, You edit your videos.
		This has to be edited.
		It's deepfake.
		It's AI.
		Something along those lines.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's the frustrating thing about AI and all the deepfake stuff is that it just makes it easier for all kinds of people to deny the truth.
		In this case, I think there are people who would not trust James O'Keefe just out of personal bias.
		They don't trust anything he does.
		The Biden administration can't hide the fact that they are in a rough position. I mean,
		when we talk about Biden's health, they delay releasing his physical every year later and later.
		And I swear that doctor who signs it must just be sort of like,
unidentified		he's just conducting it on himself. He's just like, well, he's holding the set.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He's like, last year, this was the thing like what the last one came out. There's a specific
		line about Biden's gate and people will say it's like a dementia shuffle. There's
		There's a sign that this is what's happening.
		And he was like, yes, his gate has stiffened, but really not that much.
		And it's actually fine.
		And this is the thing that they do over and over again.
		Like, we acknowledge that you might be seeing something, but you're insane for thinking it's worth anything.
unidentified		But it's actually a good thing.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		You're acting crazy.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He started shuffling because the weight of the far right extremists are just bearing him down and how dare you question him?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		I do appreciate, look, there's a bit of confirmation bias that I think everybody has.
		The idea of pointing out there's edits in this video, that's actually a good instinct to have for everyone.
		You should apply that same logic.
		to the people who make content that you agree with as well.
		You should be looking for the, where the video starts, where the video ends, are there
		cuts in here, is there something that's being removed? It's just that it seems most people can only
		seem to apply that when they already disagree with the point. They're not willing to
		look critically at the stuff they agree with in the same way. And I think that you open
		yourself up to a lot more information if you're willing to do that. The other big scoop here,
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		which may not apply to today, but is very relevant, is that he said, I had a meeting with
		Michelle Obama, an intern, he said, someone asked her, he said when I was an intern, someone
		asked her, will you ever run for office?
		And she said, no, emphatically no.
		I've seen all the ish my husband has had to go through, and it does not interest me.
		So, many people have pointed out Michelle Obama does not want to run.
		He said Biden will be the nominee, Kamala Harris will be the VP on the ticket, and that's what they will play.
		And it's just kind of like, maybe this guy did know who James was the whole time.
		And they're baiting him because, you know, Biden can't win.
		I understand that we were saying this in 2020.
		So I will gladly say, knock on wood.
		You never know what's going to happen.
		But at the time, Biden actually was winning in the polls and we were in disbelief the polls could be right.
		And I think we were mostly correct.
		The polls were not right.
		And due to very clever, what would we call it?
		Shadow campaigning is what Time Magazine called it.
		Joe Biden wins the presidency as how I'll describe it.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Shadow campaigning.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think right now, you know, when Ian is talking about how his parents are like, man, this migrant crisis is crazy.
		I'm like, Biden's losing the normies.
		How are they going to maintain the facade?
unidentified		Well I even have, like what I would consider normies within my family, my extended family, whenever I'm, you know, around they're asking me about this because they're seeing some of my reporting or they're seeing what's going on with the border and that's always what they want to talk about is the border because that's what they find the most interest in.
		and you know they talk about you know how are tax paying dollars going towards this and it genuinely
		makes them mad. So when I see this happen over and over again whenever I'm at family events
		and I'm like okay so people that usually don't pay attention to politics or usually don't even
		follow my work within my family are now noticing you know so the noticing is high nowadays I would
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		say. I think part of it is that people feel the economic pressure.
		I mean, no one thinks Biden has done a good job on the economy.
		If you talk to normal people, things are tough.
		And so to hear on top of that, that not only do we send money abroad, but also when we spend money domestically, it's actually on people who are not here legally.
		It must be infuriating.
		I mean, that's the conversation everyone's going to have with themselves right now.
		It's like, is this working?
		And Trump's strongest thing has always been immigration, and it's never been something Biden can handle.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So real quick, just on the other story about the migrants at the airport, I've got some photos sent to me that are a little bit clearer, but they're just screenshots.
		He is definitely wearing a brown round.
		Yeah, you can clearly see it.
		And his insignia on his arm is a drill sergeant insignia, it would appear.
		So no idea what that means, but that would imply this is not National Guard.
		It could be that he's just in transit or something, but why would he stop someone from filming illegal immigrants?
		And why would he be sitting outside the door in that way?
unidentified		In his own little rolly chair as well.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He's not just sitting in a chair that happens to be outside of it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's just say maybe he's just traveling and he's sitting in this random chair that has nothing to do with anything and decided to stop the guy from filming just because.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No idea.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I could understand if you thought someone's filming you being like, hey, stop.
		But in this case, it doesn't seem like he is just sort of waiting for a flight.
		It seems like this is an intentional place that he is lingering.
unidentified		Yeah, when I'm in the airport, I don't care if people are filming either.
		So, I actually have had a few situations where, you know, you have some Karens come up to you as you're filming these illegal immigrants, and they'll try and stop you, and it's always hilarious, because, you know, my cameraman Juan, poor Juan, he tries to be nice with them, and I just immediately flip the switch, and it's like, get out of my face, but I say it a lot more angry, and then they immediately kind of shut down, and they can't, like, Even fathom that you're telling them to just leave you alone until I can do my job.
		But if I'm just a random dude in the airport and I see somebody filming, I'm not going to go up to you, especially if you're filming something that's totally unrelated to you, and yeah, maybe you're in the background of it.
		I'm not saying anything.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, I learned something very important about these protesters from owning a cat.
		So, you know, you get these protesters, they come up, they get in your face when you're trying to film, and they're just trying to obstruct you.
		And so whenever my cat comes up to me and is, you know, being annoying or whatever, I just... You just blow on him.
		You just blow on him, and they go away.
		And there you go, and the protesters come up to you and start blowing in their face, and they're like, stop, what are you doing?
		And they try to hold their hand in front of your camera or whatever, you just blow on them, and they'll go away.
		Actually, I'm kidding, don't do that.
		I don't know what the legality is of blowing on... I think you'd be fine.
unidentified		How are you going to prove that I was blowing on you?
unidentified		I was breathing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I was exhaling.
unidentified		I took a big breath in, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A strong exhale!
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You are close enough to feel my breath on your face.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You're too close.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Being filmed?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You pull the camera and he's like, wow.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		If Bucko's annoying you, you just pull up the camera and he immediately goes away.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but in the video that we saw from Daily Caller, it's wild that people are like, stop.
		I just got to say, these people are evil.
		Look, you go to a Trump rally, walk around with a camera, and you've done it, and what happens?
		They crowd around in excitement and say, oh, look at me!
		I want to talk about why I care about America, and here's what I want to do, and here's everything I believe in.
unidentified		Because they have nothing to hide.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I stand by these things, yeah.
		And then you go to the left, and they're like, quick, shut them down.
		People are going to find out what we're really up to.
unidentified		Well, it's just like at protests that turn into riots.
unidentified		They will not allow filming at all because they know what is going on is illegal, and they want it to remain hidden.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's not just that it's illegal.
		They know that if the public finds out what they're doing, that they will lose public support.
		So there's a lot of memes about this, but this is what I experienced with Occupy Wall Street.
		There's a famous video where Occupy Wall Street put this video out, and it's a cop swinging his baton violently at people, and they made the baton turn into a lightsaber.
		Very smart.
		And they were like, not, it was a double-layer psyop.
		The idea was, a cop attacked protesters, we're gonna make fun of him, everyone shared the video.
		So people start sharing this video of the cop with the baton going, and they're like, ha ha ha.
		What they don't show you is, the cop got attacked first by Occupy Wall Street protesters.
		Rioters at that point.
		Knocking down a barricade, and then knocking his head off and shoving him, and then he starts pushing with the baton, then swings.
		When I'm down there and I'm filming this, and it's raw and livestreamed, they're getting pissed off.
		Because now, regular people get an archive of exactly what happened.
		Protester attacked cop, cop attacked protester.
		Not cop randomly attacked protester.
		Don't get me wrong, cops also randomly arrest random people too and lie about it.
		Not gonna defend them on that one.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But in this context, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Everyone's trying to win some agenda by controlling the flow of information.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It's the Ryan Long bit where he's like, I take the footage of the cop attacking the protester, I sell it to CNN, I take the footage of the protester attacking the cop, I sell it to Fox.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And the best part is like, once I accidentally sent, he said, once I accidentally sent video of protesters picking up garbage to Fox News and they got mad and said, what's this?
		I said, just play it in reverse, it looks like they're littering.
		Yeah, that was a great bit.
		How he can sell the same footage to both news agencies.
unidentified		It really is true, though.
		In my experience of licensing footage, you license certain news organizations want to see
		different things. So the violent stuff clearly goes to Fox and the more right-wing organizations.
		And then, you know, the ooh-rah-rah, the speeches and stuff, that's what the left-wing organizations want to see.
		Yeah.
		So there's a lot of truth behind that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but, like, if you get a video of a cop whacking a protester, MSNBC is gonna be like, name your price.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You get video of a protester whacking a cop, Fox News says name your price.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		To be fair, though, you know, I'm being a little bit hyperbolic, Fox is absolutely more fair.
		That's just, of course they want that, hey, this is going to do really well on TV. So we want this
		video where the cop is being hit or whatever. But in my experience, these leftist lefting
		organizations will shut you down in two seconds if the narrative is outside in any way. And Fox
unidentified		will will run. Well, everyone's perfect example of that is after January 6th, after I documented
		the shooting of Ashley Babbitt Fox, you know, at least Laura Ingram, they licensed my video
		and I went on and actually appeared and I told them what happened.
		She wasn't being violent.
		She was actively trying to de-escalate.
		And then all the left-wing organizations, they scheduled an interview with me after they licensed my footage and then they canceled last second and then ran with their own narrative that was completely wrong.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's how it works.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I think that's why people become disenfranchised with the media, right?
		They see the same video appear in different places without context, and I think that's what I find so interesting about the ecosystem that's appeared.
		I mean, you're definitely a huge part of this, of independent journalists or, you know, people who start off on just kind of because they want to know.
		They want to be on the ground.
		I think Tim is similar in this respect.
unidentified		Yep.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Hence why mainstream media is dying at rates we've never seen before.
		And digital media, at least independent digital media, is growing at rates that we've also never seen before.
		or whatever, you're more likely to believe the person who has built themselves up than
		the person who is just sort of suddenly appearing under the brand name mainstream media logo
		and saying, no, no, don't question anything.
		I have it right.
unidentified		Yep.
		Hence why mainstream media is dying at rates we've never seen before.
		And digital media, at least independent digital media, is growing at rates that we've also
		never seen before.
		Shout out to Tenet Media.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, you know, someone super chatted to saying basic army trainees fly into Atlanta's drill
		Wish there was more to it, but probably not.
		The state senator said the army guy, it's U.S.
		Army, says, took my phone.
		It was a scrimmage between he and I in order to get the phone back, and he proceeded to tell me to get out of here.
		I made a big, big scene out of it.
		So it's like, I don't know, man.
unidentified		And maybe he's just really pro-illegal immigrant.
unidentified		Maybe he just loves these people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe he was just there to pick up some, you know, trainees and then he got asked, hey, can you watch this room while you're waiting?
		And he was like, sure, I have no idea.
		But I feel like, I hope this story makes it to members of Congress who can launch an inquiry and get someone to testify as to why this happened.
		Ask this state senator to testify.
		And we got to know what this was about.
		Maybe it's just the army guy of his own volition was like, I don't like cameras.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Maybe.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's the simplest explanation to me.
		He just didn't want to be filmed.
		But again, we need context as to why this person was there at all.
		Or why does he happen to be in front of this room full of, you know, criminal migrants?
		I don't get- I don't like to be filmed.
		I don't get why so many things are lining up.
		If he were just anywhere in the airport, I would buy that it was like- I don't- I don't like to be filmed.
		But the fact that he's in front of this room.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Why would they have a drill sergeant guarding a room?
unidentified		Exactly.
		Well, you know, I don't like to be filmed, but if someone's filming me, I'm not going to assault them on camera to get them to stop filming me.
		That doesn't seem very logical.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's so weird.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		He's like, look, I haven't done my makeup yet.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		I got to just get the camera.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But I don't I don't I I don't want to believe that there is a an official order.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That being said, CBP is actively engaged in human smuggling.
unidentified		It wouldn't be surprising at this point.
		It really wouldn't be.
		With the root of corruption and the root of cartel and NGO money flowing around, because it is a lot more.
		I mean, the NGO that I was at was San Antonio PD.
		Their federal funding, I think it went from 10 million to like 70 million year by year.
		So the amount that they're getting and then the amount that they're basically hiding and straight up laundering is insane and it grows year by year.
		So this is huge money for anybody involved.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Dude, I think that's like the big thing that shakes a lot of people that are like the old school classic Democrats do is when you tell them and you explain how much money they're getting and how much is going nowhere.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This may be a substantially larger scandal than we yet realize.
		I will stress, maybe is a lot of nothing.
		But, we got a super chat, and this is from, let me see, here we go.
		Let's see, which one was I just reading?
		This one's big, so I want to make sure I get it right.
		BQ says, Tim, to be honest, it looks like a group going to boot camp.
		I was stuck in an unmarked room in an airport until my flight was ready.
		However, there were volunteers from a group called Team Libertad, which boasts helping migrants travel on social media.
		I think the pieces line up pretty perfectly, that criminal aliens are being trained to join the armed forces.
unidentified		Well, there's been a lot of interviews too where people talk to these criminal aliens that are coming over and they're like, what did you do in your home country?
		And they straight up say, we're soldiers.
		Like that is what we did.
		I mean, you have dozens of these interviews happening, so I would not put it past them trying to recruit, especially the recruitment numbers being so low.
		If you're allowing them into the country illegally, Why wouldn't you want them to join the army?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You have a room full of migrants, a whistleblower, reported to a state senator, Republican state senator, in Georgia, who went there and filmed and saw Team Libertad, in fact you can see Team Libertad on his shirt with a lanyard, an organization which boasts of helping migrants travel on social media, with a drill sergeant out in front apparently guarding the room and trying to stop the guy from filming.
		The most likely scenario?
		Criminal aliens are being offered, join the US military, and they're heading to training.
unidentified		Doesn't look good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know that's true.
		I'm not saying it is.
		I'm saying that seems to be the most plausible scenario here, and we've predicted this as a possibility.
		Many people have.
		U.S.
		military numbers, recruitment numbers are way down.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Way down.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People don't want to join up and they may have found their way to bolster the numbers.
		Could it be the reason the Costco is selling more food?
		World War III is potentially on the horizon.
		Iran is about to be, Biden's going to attack Iran.
		And so they're like, we don't know or care where we get them from.
		We need as many troops as possible.
		These are going to be low tier guys.
		They can drop on the front lines, but what do they care?
unidentified		Man, I remember when I was trying to join the army out of high school.
		I had to get my hand tattoo lasered off because they wouldn't give me a special waiver and now, here we are.
		Potentially recruiting illegal immigrants.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's jump to this story.
		Ladies and gentlemen, once again, in the news, Ben Shapiro's new song hit number one on iTunes.
		How did that happen?
		But I want to stop you right now.
		This segment is not about Ben Shapiro rapping.
		We've talked about that ad nauseum.
		It does revolve around the issue of Ben Shapiro rapping, but it has more to do with how the narrative machine is fake.
		How they trick you into thinking demonic degenerates are popular.
		I'm driving in the car, and we hear that song from Sam Smith.
		I forgot what it's called.
		But it's a song about how the dad is secretly abandoning his family to have gay orgies.
		That's actually what it's about.
		Do you know the song?
unidentified		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		With the transgender singer.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Sounds like Sam Smith.
unidentified		I've never heard it and I'm flattered.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Kim Petras.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is that what it's called?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		No, it's with Kim Petras is on the song.
unidentified		No, no, no.
unidentified		Body Shop.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I think it's called Body Shop.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's basically Sam Smith is singing that there's a guy and his family is unaware that he ditches them and disappears to go to bathhouses and have gay orgies.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Literally what the song's about.
unidentified		That takes like going out for milk and not coming back to a whole other level.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now here's the important thing.
		Oh, cool.
		You see these people perform at big award ceremonies.
		You see Lil Nas X, uh, you know, insult Christians, pholate the devil.
		I see he did that in, like, one of his music videos.
		And they want you to believe it's popular.
		You get Nicki Minaj and you get, like, Megan Thee Stallion, and they want you to believe that WAP and things like this are popular.
		But what we're learning now, thanks to Tom McDonald, is exactly how it's fake.
		And this is important to understand.
		Don't believe the manipulations.
		Washington Post breaks down the con game.
		They don't break it down, they exemplify it.
		But Tom MacDonald here in this video explains exactly how they are lying to you.
		Now what Tom's video is about is the music industry is cheating.
		I want to play this minute clip from Tom MacDonald, but then I want to elaborate on what he's saying.
		Here's the clip.
unidentified		I'm gonna show you guys how the music industry cheats on the charts, and I guarantee you didn't know this.
		This is the iTunes charts.
		That's my song, Facts, featuring Ben Shapiro at number 1.
		You see how Megan Thee Stallion has two versions of the same song at number 2 and number 3?
		You see how Nicki Minaj has eight versions of the same song at 4, 6, 8, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 23?
		You ever wonder why they do that?
		Every song has an ID number called a UPC code.
		This code is what Billboard uses to count song sales.
		If you release multiple versions of a song, you can use the same UPC code for every version.
		That means Nicki Minaj's eight versions count as one song when Billboard collects the numbers.
		We're competing against ten songs, and all ten versions are gonna be combined into two songs.
		Seems pretty unfair, doesn't it?
		Yeah, that's the music industry.
		That's why we need everyone who sees this to go download Facts on iTunes or Amazon.
		Billboard stops collecting our numbers in 24 hours.
		This is our last chance to lock in that number one on Billboard.
		Go get those downloads of Facts by Tom McDonald and Ben Shapiro on iTunes or Amazon.
		We'd sure appreciate it, guys.
		Thanks for the help.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm gonna show you guys... Let me break this down a little bit further.
		Tom's pointing out how... Let me see if I can get... There we go.
		This is true.
		And we've dealt with this too.
		A lot of people will release a song, and then they'll release a remix at the same time.
		That's one song.
		Even though they're completely different.
		So what I'm talking to Carter about, I was like, let's do a song and record it in four different genres.
		Let's do acoustic folk, let's do new wave retro, let's do hard rock, and let's do country.
		And it's one song.
		And we can make the one song for everybody.
		This is the game they play.
		The reason why it's important.
		Megan Thee Stallion.
		What is it?
		Bigfoot?
		That song is gonna hit the top of the charts.
		All the woke media is going to say, oh haha, she beat Ben Shapiro, she's so much better and bigger for whatever reason.
		And it's through these manipulative games.
		They want you to believe the most popular music among young kids these days is degenerate filth.
		When in reality, that's not true.
		It's technically true.
		And that's another thing that's pointed out by the Washington Post.
		Again, I know a lot of people are like, I don't care about Ben Shapiro rapping.
		Fine, fine, fine.
		That's not the point.
		The point is what we're learning.
		In this article, it talks about what's going on with the song, and they have this really important part.
		Who is McDonald?
		Has he had hits before?
		They say this.
		Is Facts Really a Hit?
		No, no, no, hold on!
		It's number one on iTunes.
		Worldwide.
		Why would the Washington Post even ask that question?
		What's the implication?
		It's not?
		No, no, for real.
		If a song is number one on the iTunes charts and the Amazon charts right now, worldwide, for what purpose would Washington Post actually ask this question?
		This is priming.
		They want people to think it may not really be a hit.
		But here's what they say.
		This is important.
		Facts held the number one spot on iTunes Music as of Wednesday, January 31st, sitting ahead of Megan Thee Stallion's Hiss and Nicki Minaj's Bigfoot.
		According to Apple, iTunes numbers are calculated by what songs are downloaded and bought through iTunes, different than Apple Music, which purely measures streams.
		Streaming numbers paint a different picture.
		As of Wednesday morning, the song had just over 1 million listens on Spotify.
		On Apple Music, the song hadn't cracked the top 100 songs in the country.
		Apple did not share data about the song's overall streaming numbers.
		They go on to mention, label artists have access to playlisting and resources that independents do not.
		Said McDonald on the song's success on iTunes compared with streaming, if we want to compete with them on the billboard charts, this is the way to do it.
		Yadda yadda yadda, I think they mention the numbers of the, here we go, Megan Thee Stallion's Facts has 9.7 million views on YouTube, and Hiss from Megan Thee Stallion has 8.2 million on YouTube, and the Bigfoot audio video has 3.7 million views on Minaj's page.
		Here's the point.
		They're asking the question, is it really a hit?
		Because they are trying to set up manipulative narrative control.
		What we are seeing right here, I can break down for you, how they trick you.
		The Apple streaming numbers, when they say, oh, you know, Tom McDonald didn't even hit the top of the charts, that's too bad.
		Do you want to know how you get on top of the charts?
		You're a major label producer.
		Your label goes to the charts and says, your modern music pop chart must have this in rotation X amount of times per hour.
		How would Tom McDonald compete with them saying default play on the streaming service?
		Imagine if every time you went to YouTube, the only thing you could see was TimCast IRL.
		We would have billions of views.
	And we'd be like, well, you know, we're the biggest podcast in the world because we're the best.
	No, it's because the service puts you in front.
	Now, It may be that these streaming services are just like, it's the easy route.
	These are big famous artists, we hear about them in the news, so we put them in our digital streaming playlists, and when the average person signs up for the first time, this is what they get.
	You go to YouTube Music, this is what you get.
	Why?
	Power attracts power.
	I have to wonder why it is.
	I talked about this before, you know, there was a song by Paramore, which has 6 million views after a year, and they're playing it at the Hard Rock Seminole in Miami, and I'm like, this song is not popular, culturally relevant.
	No diss to Paramore, I'm a big fan of Paramore.
	But I'm like, it's not one of their biggest songs ever, why is it being played?
	It's just easy to give them the default position.
	Here's the real, the reality of what matters.
	Do you sell?
	Do you make money?
	Right now, no question, Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro have made substantially more money off this song, in terms of consumption of the song, than Nicki Minaj did and Megan Thee Stallion.
	Done.
	That's it.
	So what are we really measuring?
	The machine has set up The creative arts industry, movies or otherwise, in such a fashion that they have fabricated and manufactured popular music that is not actually popular.
	It's been this way for a long time.
	It's worse today than it's ever been with streaming services.
	But the main issue here is the songs they're putting out and claiming are popular are very often degenerate.
	Guns, guns, guns, shots, shots, shots, doing drugs, all this really awful stuff.
	And they want you to believe it's popular.
	It's not.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		No, I don't think it is.
		I find, you know, because you guys released a song in December and now this one's coming out with Ben Shapiro, I find it a really interesting experiment because if we had all kinds of people sort of in alternative media space doing these kinds of music, every month they're gonna pretend that, no, no, this one's not a hit.
		You know, the more information you get about the system works, the more Is it really a hit?
		That question's incredible.
		sort of launch a song and try and catch them in their own games.
		At a certain point, they're making it more obvious what they're doing by
		denying everyone who attempts to come in from the outside.
		It's just a really expensive experiment, I would assume.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is it really a hit?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That question's incredible.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think the fact that it's the number one song in the world on iTunes
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		means it is.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But they're going to say it's not, which is interesting because I think this is
		something that they'll do over and over again.
		I mean, there are only going to be more musical artists who now are saying, well, I want to try and get on Billboard's Hot 100.
		And again, the more obvious it becomes that they're shutting certain kinds of people out, basically functionally discriminating against them, the more invalid their data becomes.
		Because that's what gets me.
		They weigh the different streams at different amounts, meaning that it doesn't matter what people are actually listening to.
		It just matters who is ultimately lining their pockets.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		The film industry did this over the summer with Sound of Freedom in much the same way, much the same way that they point out that like, look, they're spending $250 million on movies that don't even break a quarter of what they need to even break even, let alone profit.
		But when Sound of Freedom came out, they actually started to call into question the way that they were fundraising to make you think that people didn't actually want to go see this movie.
		They're saying like, well, people are buying tickets, but people aren't really going to the movie.
		They were saying that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dude, and wasn't it crazy how many people said the power went out?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The air conditioning went out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I know people personally who are like, the theater shut down.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It happened to several people that I know here in Maryland.
unidentified		Well, they're not just doing this same thing to, you know, Ben Shapiro and this other artist, but they've done it to Bryson Gray.
		They've done it to when Trump released the, or they released a song with a Trump soundtrack over it for the Jay Sixers.
		They did the exact same thing with that, too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They did it to us a month ago.
unidentified		Exactly.
		So it's a very, I mean, just like what Hannah said, how many times are they going to keep doing this, denying reality is their M.O.?
		And it's not just in this industry.
		It's in the movie industry.
		It's any time conservatives try to have a, like, true crack in culture.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because they want to control the narrative and they, for one, I think a big play is destroying Christianity.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm not a Christian, but come on, the stuff they're promoting, it's just like very on the nose.
unidentified		Look at Lil Nas X's most recent, it's like him being crucified in the music video as he says, I'm a Christian.
unidentified		It's like, no, you're not.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And Sabrina Carpenter got in trouble for filming that music video in the Brooklyn Yeah and they came out and they like purified the altar and everything because for whatever reason it's okay to treat Christians like the other and to mock their religion but you wouldn't do it to anyone else.
		I think that in some ways this is what turns Americans off from mainstream music, whether it be pop, rap, whatever genre.
		Just like anything that's playing on the radio when you're constantly hearing like, be hypersexual, hate everything around you, commit crimes, like live a life that's just falling apart.
		You don't want to listen to that.
		I think it becomes something you want to reject.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		I think a lot of it is I think that most people are listening to this stuff more passively and they're not actually like we're hyper analyzing what's going on here and the average person is a consumer like to the T that term consumer they're just consuming this stuff it is annoying when they ask somebody who's not religious either to watch them act like it's still edgy As if they're pushing against some type of institution that still has great power here in America, which, as we know within the entertainment industry, that's just not the truth anymore.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		And acting as if you're some type of rebel for hating on Catholics or Christians is just, it's not just lame, it's just unbelievably cringey.
unidentified		Well, it's the only religion that you can actually go out and critique in the way that they do.
unidentified		Look at what the drag queens did, or I don't even know what they were called, the Sisters of Something at the Dodgers Stadium.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
unidentified		That's perfectly okay and acceptable.
		God forbid you do that with Islam or any other religion, you're not allowed to do that here.
		And it just shows, okay, I mean, the underlying symptoms of America's disease, I think, is a lack of Christianity and the attack on Christianity, and they're doing it for a reason.
		There is, personally, I believe, a lot of strength through Christ, Christ is Lord, and they continue to do this because what comes with Christianity?
		Basic morals.
		That's really all that it is.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Also, for them, there's a lot of Marxist beliefs that are tied in there with where they believe the power structure here is in America, where you're allowed to criticize this group because you fall lower or higher on the oppression scale than someone else does.
		And unfortunately, those groups are always going to be fair game to them.
		I just find it unbelievably lame that they still believe... I would almost have more respect if they were doing it, but not talking about it, as if they were somehow sticking it to the man by doing it.
		I'm like, you're the man!
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But I think what you're saying, I think what you said before about passive consumption is right.
		I think most of these record label streaming things, you know, it's like we always make fun of CNN because it's playing in like empty airports across the nation.
		This stuff is playing on the radio, you know, radio actually does get a fair amount of attention, but it's just playing in the background for a lot of people's lives.
		I think really though, people are waking up to it and saying like, I don't want to listen to this.
		I mean, I've listened to, I've gotten, And I'm totally told by a lot of women, like, oh yeah, I was feeling really anxious, feeling really depressed, and then I stopped watching shows that just drove my anxiety.
		I gave up true crime.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		They stopped watching the true crime show.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Right, right.
		I mean, it's not just true crime.
		It's all kinds of stuff.
		But, you know, when you consume content that is negative, ultimately, even if it's at a fast beat or whatever you think, like, you are ultimately warping your perspective.
		And I think people don't want that right now.
unidentified		Not to backtrack, sorry Tim, but I had an army, U.S.
		retired army veteran comment.
		The patch seen in that video in the Daily Caller story, 194th Armor Brickade from Fort Moore, so it is the army.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
		I want to point this out too.
		In the article, Tom McDonald says, we're outperforming her in every metric.
		They're not allowing us to pass Megan and hit the number one spot.
		Right now, they said the song is number three trending on YouTube behind Hiss and Bigfoot, despite outperforming them in every metric.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Is a lot of it also just like there's incentives and there's bonuses that are attached with artists reaching certain levels and the industry is insulated in a way that allows them to find success under their own metrics so they can bolster their own artists?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Like these labels, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, yeah, it's not just music, it's commercials, TV, movies.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		We're talking about the cultural impact.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		I'm thinking of it from the business impact, that there's a financial incentive to keep people out, not just from a cultural standpoint, but from a financial standpoint.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They want to be able to charge $50,000 to license their song.
		That means their song has to be the biggest song.
		That means they're going to make 20 versions of it.
		Think about this.
		We've never done this.
		Should we?
		Should we, the next song we put out, create 10 versions of the same song that are slightly different in some way?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Do it as an experiment, see what happens.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because look, here's what happens when we release together again.
		We put it through what's called a direct-to-customer music company.
		There's a bunch of companies that say, we create your band page, you can upload your music, people can buy it straight through here.
		We say, okay, we'll do that.
		They changed the rules mid-last year to stop counting them, and they did it quietly.
		I mean, how are we supposed to know?
		Now it's iTunes and Amazon only.
		So I forgot kind of where I was going, but that's, so what ends up happening is we put the song out.
		We don't know this.
		We get completely shut out.
		They don't tell us exactly what to do or how to do it.
		We have no idea.
		They keep changing it so that only those who are in the labels and know the industry are able to adapt to it properly.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's wild.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		The Nicki Minaj song was legitimately just one of the worst things I've heard in almost every single one, but it's so bad.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's so insulting.
		They don't have to put out anything that's good.
		They just have to say, we want this song out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's what I was going to say.
		When we put it out on the direct-to-customer website, it's 69 cents for the song, but you can choose to pay more.
		Tons of people were giving us five bucks.
		I'm like, okay, I appreciate it.
		How about we just release five versions of the song?
		So one person can be five sales now.
		I will tell you this right now.
		If we multiplied our sales by five and did it through iTunes, we would be Billboard Hot 100 No.
		1.
		We'd be No.
		1.
		I think this is a play.
		I think if Megan Thee Stallion or Nicki Minaj did this, all these different versions, I think that's what we gotta do.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, man.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because then I can say to everybody, it's like, hey man, you gave me 10 bucks for this one song, I really appreciate the support, just buy it 10 times.
		$6.90 and one person is a whole album sale now.
		A whole album.
		We would easily get 100 to 200,000 sales if we multi- I mean, I gotta be honest, if we did 10 versions, we'd get 300,000 sales.
		We would be Billboard Hot 100 number one.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it'd be rad.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's do it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's just wild that you have to do that.
		Like, you can't just put out a song that is good that people like.
		Instead, you have to game the system so that they'll let you in.
		That's what they're doing.
		I know.
		It's just sad that that's like, because they'll represent this as this is the most popular song in the country.
		It's everywhere.
		It's whatever.
		But that's not true.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Think of the authors who would buy their own books in quantity so they could have the New York Times bestseller on the jacket.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Which is editorial anyway.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Yes, exactly.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		They've all rigged their own systems.
unidentified		It had to be James Comey.
unidentified		Nobody read his book.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But this is the thing, it just bothers me so much that when they look at, you know, The Average Tumor, they're like, this is the nation's top songs, and that's why it's special to be on this list, when actually we've conned and manipulated it as much as we can.
		Like, you couldn't even use this data to accurately report on a song's growth because it's artificially inflated.
		That's crazy.
unidentified		It's all rigged.
unidentified		It's all fake.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But I've never really followed the Billboard Top 100, I will say.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's just modern payola.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		If anyone knows what it used to be, it's just payola.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Illegal.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Payola's illegal.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		It's illegal, yeah, and it just hasn't hit the new streaming market yet, or it hasn't been applied to streaming.
		I don't think it can.
		I don't think it can either, but that's pretty much what's going on.
		That's why they know how to do this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The most important thing here is, again, when I want to talk about this, it's not because, oh, here's a song, they're rapping, they should be number one.
		This is how the narrative machine of these woke corporate press outlets manipulate you into thinking These are the best books.
		These are the best songs.
		They are culturally engineering you to support things that are detrimental to this country and support communist BS.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		We've watched that, like we watched it with the show Reacher, which got like no play from the press, not in the same way because they don't see any cultural influence from it because the demographic is not them.
		It's the straight white guys, the dads that are the ones watching it.
		So there's no ground to be made up on that show, but they push everything else like rings of power because they can make ground there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We're gonna go to Super Chats!

		I'm not your buddy guy.
		He's back.
		He says, crazy people really know how to screw up legitimate issues.
		Tim's right about violence.
		Please see BLM and Summer of Love for case study.
		Finally, I hope people appreciate your sales 101 course earlier.
		Yeah, I was talking about... I was talking to Benny Johnson earlier, because he's got this tweet where he said that Taylor Swift is a government psyop.
		So I made a video, it was 40 minutes long, breaking down... You know, I'm just gonna say this.
		There are Republican politicians who are freaking out that there are people like Jack Posobiec, Benny Johnson, and others pushing this narrative that Taylor Swift is a psy-op because it is massive downside.
		It is a massive net negative.
		And so, I don't want to speak about people's private statements on this one, but I think it is the biggest mistake the right is making right now.
		There's no upside, none.
		And I just want you to imagine what happens.
		FanDuel, I believe it's FanDuel.
		Google search this.
		You can bet on whether or not Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl.
		It's a bet.
		It's available.
		I think they're giving it like plus 100.
		No, no, it's like minus 250.
		They think it's going to happen.
		Imagine what happens if Travis Kelsey gets down on one knee, and as he's pulling the ring out, a guy in a MAGA hat, some fat guy in a white t-shirt, shoves him and says, she's a psy-op, don't believe her, it's a trick, it's all scripted.
		It would be every Swifty rallying and screaming.
		It would be in the press for a week or two weeks.
		I'm not saying it's really gonna happen.
		I'm just saying, what's the alternative that could happen?
		If someone came out and screamed at the high heavens, it's a PSYOP.
		It recruits nobody.
unidentified		Nope.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But anyway.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Not just that, but also like there's all the articles that were going around today about Trump versus Taylor Swift, the holy war.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		I'm like, this is a battle you're going to lose and you will not win.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's not real.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		But I'm saying, but it's a losing issue.
		First of all, like Trump needs to make up ground on female voters anyways.
		And they're talking about it.
		They're saying like, is she going to endorse Biden?
		Like who cares?
		She did it in 2020.
		She's a Democrat.
unidentified		There's a poll.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's so irrelevant.
		Like the thing is, If everyone stopped talking about it, then she would just go on to date Travis Kelce.
		Maybe they're gonna get a Super Bowl, maybe they won't.
		She's not even in the country during the DNC's national convention.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I don't care.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's just irrelevant.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I don't care that the press is talking about it.
		And I don't care that she's at the Super Bowl.
		My concern is that Jack and Benny, who are friends of mine, are pushing this narrative, which is massively detrimental to the right, for no reason.
unidentified		Well, nobody wins.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'll ask you a few questions.
		Are Swifties going to vote for Donald Trump?
		Nope.
		Some will.
		We've had someone on the show recently who's a big fan.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		There is a contingent of conservative women that do like Taylor Swift, but in large, if we're talking in general, no, they're not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Are Trump supporters going to switch from Donald Trump to Joe Biden because Taylor Swift told them to?
		No.
		Absolutely not.
		Are moderates going to base who they vote for, Taylor Swift or Donald Trump, based on whether, I'm sorry, Joe Biden or Donald Trump, based on what Taylor Swift says in her endorsement?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe, maybe not.
		Probably not.
		Let's assume the answer is no.
		What's the upside to making enemies?
		You're not convincing Trump supporters.
		You earn no votes.
		So there's a net zero on that regard.
		What if the answer is yes?
		Will you convince someone to vote for Donald Trump by screaming at Taylor Swift as a government psyop?
		Or will you convince them to vote for Trump by saying Trump is going to secure the borders, improve the economy, and oh, by the way, we also love Taylor Swift?
unidentified		Bring back the right-wing Taylor Swift edit.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's what we need.
unidentified		We need to embrace Taylor Swift.
unidentified		There's nothing wrong with that.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Especially if she's on the brink of getting married to an American football player after dating all kinds of British guys for way too long.
		I'm sorry.
		I already said it.
		She's a pronatalist movement.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		David Guyton says Tim is assuming he is right and Benny etc.
		are wrong though.
		I'm not assuming it.
		Shout out to Benny Johnson.
		I'm a big fan of his work.
		He does great work.
		We're friends.
		But I gotta call him out for this.
		He said on Twitter to, what, like six, seven million people, it is confirmed that Taylor Swift is a government psyop.
		There are several things that are wrong with this post.
		One, Taylor Swift did not register 35,000 people to vote.
		Those numbers are manipulated.
		Axios ran that headline.
		But if you actually read the article, they say the 35,000 number was a 23% increase from the previous year, meaning it's actually 8,107 if We could actually correlate those numbers to Taylor Swift.
		We can't.
		They play this amazing game where they're like, it was a 1,226% increase the hour after Taylor Swift made the post.
		And we were getting 12,000 people every half an hour.
		So you mean to tell me that after Taylor Swift made a post to 272 million people, 24,000 people showed up to your website in an hour?
		And that was your massive increase?
		There's a poll that says one-fifth of voters would be swayed by Taylor Swift and she can swing the election.
		That same poll, that headline, is a lie.
		The same article written by every publication says the exact inverse would happen.
		If she endorsed Joe Biden, 18% would vote for him and 17% would vote against him, giving her poll 1%.
		Benny Johnson also mentioned that she came out as a liberal in 2020, that was 2018.
		He also mentioned George Soros bought her music.
		Soros invested with Carlisle Group so that Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings could buy her music in 2019, which she then said, I'm gonna re-record everything, and they ditched the investment a year later.
		There's so much to this, but guys, that's the point.
		Anyway, we're gonna move on.
		Listen, I'm gonna put it this way.
		I've got Republican politicians and staffers Freaking out over this.
		Saying, why are they sabotaging our suburban vote?
		I don't understand.
		And I'm like, me neither.
		I really don't get it.
		There is nothing to be gained from saying this over and over again, doing interviews about it.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		But also, there's money to be made by talking about it right now.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Unfortunately, there's people who make media, there's a financial incentive to talk about it because her name is High Search Engine Optimization, you're going to get clicks while talking about it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And it's right after the whole thing where she was on the field and whatever else.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		It's not just about the election, it's about making money too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we'll just, we'll just move on from this because I just, I can't believe it, man.
		Whatever.
		The Emperor's Champion says, Texas has my full support.
		Governor Abbott may have saved the Republic with his actions, Texas fans.
		Yeah, but what about Arizona and New Mexico and California?
		They're just gonna move everything over there, so we'll see.
unidentified		When the cartels are stepping back and they're trying to figure out how to reorganize these massive groups that usually do go through Eagle Pass too, so it's not like they're done.
unidentified		It's still gonna happen, they're just gonna push them up into a different sector and do the exact same thing they've been doing in Eagle Pass.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I wasn't following it today.
		the news dropped for Fulton County DA Fannie Willis. Insane.
		It's on Benny Johnson's YouTube Absolutely F-ing Clown World. Which one was this one? Was
		it about the divorce or what happened?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I don't know. I wasn't following it today.
unidentified		Not sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright.
		Insert name here says here's a white pill for everyone.
		CA's unconstitutional ammo, ammo background check scheme was ruled unconstitutional by Judge Benitez, who immediately denied the request, requested stay by Gruesome Newsome's, uh, Igor, uh, Rob Bonta?
unidentified		Gruesome Newsome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think you're trying to insult him, but it's, I, yeah.
		A little too much there.
		Uh, let's see, J3T says, will Griftcast mention MAGA guy decapitating dad?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I covered it for SCNR News.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		You guys should check it out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's not a lot to talk about.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Crazy guy commits murder, gets arrested, calls for violence.
unidentified		He declares himself president.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He calls himself the messiah and president.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He requested the Postal Service to shut themselves down or else he would attack.
		He was totally wild.
		And the thing is, it is a flashy story.
		He was arrested alive.
		So you'll hear more about this.
		Just because we're not talking about it constantly right now doesn't mean it goes away.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		So he wants to get rid of the Postal Service, but not the Fed?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He says it's not state government.
		He's anti all of the federal government.
		He wouldn't compare himself to Jesus Christ, but he's saying that's why you've never heard of him.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		All right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Matt H says, Tim, the woman's show should be pro-natalist.
		I think you'd really get a show going that was focused on helping new moms.
		I, like, that, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Should be called Broadcast.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's a really good idea.
unidentified		Broad insinuates that they're dumb.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Nah, nah.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		We're gonna take that word back.
unidentified		Reclaim it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The only problem is it's spelled the exact same way.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Is that why it's not offensive?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It works out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If we hyphenate it.
		The Broadcast.
		That's funny.
		Yeah, but the idea is to have post-liberal, libertarian, and conservative-leaning moms.
		And I actually don't care if there's Democrats.
		You know what I mean?
		You'll have that perspective.
unidentified		Meghan McCain appears on The View, you getcha.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If we took one Democrat woman and sat her next to, like, four women who have regulars on Timcast IRL, within, like, three weeks, she'd be conservative.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Dude, I'd be scared her brain would, like, explode or something.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She would just be like, everything I thought was wrong.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I have learned the truth.
		Let's go.
		What do we got?
		We'll grab some more Super Chits.
		Michael McCord says Abbott needs to charge Biden and Mayorkas in Texas under Texas state law.
		Open door with Trump.
		They should!
		Where is the Texas DA to file criminal charges against Biden and Mayorkas?
		They're trying to argue that Trump is not immune?
unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Criminally charge Joe Biden right now for the border crisis.
		Do it!
		You know what, man?
		I'm just, I'm sick of this stuff.
		Cause if I was, if I was in any kind of, uh, like ADA or AG or whatever in Texas, Ken Paxton, come on.
		This guy's got balls.
		He could do it.
		I'd immediately be like, let's roll baby.
		Criminal charges.
		Send them right on up.
		And then I can say, what's your argument?
		Is Joe Biden immune or is he not immune?
		Because we got, under his orders, CBP facilitating cartel human smuggling.
		Take your pick, baby.
		He's immune.
unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We'll, we'll, we'll wait for impeachment then.
		Oh, that also means Trump can't be charged either.
		Have a nice day.
		All right.
		Let's grab some more Super Jets.
		So that happened, says, Texas Military Department is actively recruiting.
		If you go to the border, join up and let the state deploy you where most needed.
		Well, that's what I'm saying.
		Just go through the legal channels.
		Abbott is doing well.
		I don't know if it's perfect, but from what I'm hearing from, you know, Taylor, for instance, and others, it's way better now.
		Don't get in his way.
		Let him do his thing.
unidentified		What did the kid say?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Let him cook.
unidentified		That's right.
unidentified		That's right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright, let's see.
		Heflin says, I created an A.I.
		Taylor Swift singing Sober by Tool and sent on X. Peace.
		Okay, wait, what's your Twitter handle?
		How do I find that?
		Yo, I want to play that.
unidentified		It's making me choke.
unidentified		Oh my gosh.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, great work.
unidentified		As long as it's not the other AI we've been seeing recently.
unidentified		Do you remember that video?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's Donald Trump and Barron in the front seat, and it's Melania Trump.
		And people were reposting.
		One of Taylor Swift's songs is playing.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		That's what I'm saying.
unidentified		Embrace Taylor Swift.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		That was being reposted today.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I found it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Taylor Swift, Sober.
		We'll, uh, I'll play it on the... Dude, I love Sober by Tool.
		It's like one of the best songs ever.
		We'll play it on the members only.
		So, shout out to Hefland.
		Once we wrap the Super Chats in 10 minutes, everybody become a member at TimCast.com.
		We're gonna play an AI version.
		I hope it's good.
		I haven't heard it.
		Taylor Swift singing Sober by Tool.
		Dude, I didn't even realize that song's 31 years old.
		Yeah.
		Technically 33 because it was recorded in 91.
		I thought it was like mid to late 90s.
		I didn't realize it was that early.
		That song's too good to be that early.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Do Anemia next.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, dude.
		Tool's just absolutely amazing.
		Big fan.
		Big fan.
		Alright, anyway.
		Taylor Swift singing Sober.
		I'm so excited for that.
		Alright, here we go.
		Darth Sirius says, hey guys, joining the culture fight.
		Made a video with you in mind.
		Can be found on all video platforms.
		Darth Sirius for RumbleDarth.Sirius for Twitter.
		Is that, is that Twitter?
		And it's the first one is Sirius with a zero instead of an O. Right on, man.
		Good luck, good luck!
		OlogizD says, per the NG troopers, I want to see name tapes and get unit info.
		Go after the National Guard leadership and get his orders.
		That'll tell you where the push is coming from.
		You get info from the ground up.
		I want to stress this, guys.
		If that's potentially a group being deployed for basic training, with a drill sergeant waiting outside, and they are criminal aliens being facilitated by an NGO, which it looks like, it looks like the US is taking them and sending them to join the military.
		This could be a massive scandal.
		Don't know, don't know.
unidentified		I might need a layover in Atlanta on the way home.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Need some journalists on this one.
		Yeah, man.
		I think we need, I think you need to see him with James O'Keefe.
		Figure this one out.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a pair of glasses you could wear?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Can James O'Keefe go under, go undercover as a migrant?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, here's, Josh Field says, when you brought up UPS either last night or the night before, it pissed me off when you said that UPS is laying off drivers because of our great contract.
		They can't fire us union members, they are firing management.
		No, right.
		I didn't say otherwise.
		My point is, if you have $100,000, and you have 10 employees that are each getting paid $10,000, and then those employees all say, we want a raise, and then they get a raise to $13,000, guess what?
		You still only have $100,000, which means, in order to give some of them a raise, you have to fire others.
		In this instance, sure.
		Firing management.
unidentified		Right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, this is what happens.
		But yeah, if I wasn't clear with that, then thank you for super chatting, so we have that cleared up.
		The people who are under union contract are being protected.
		I will also add, I absolutely am opposed to unions, but I love collective bargaining.
		Unions have become these weird quasi-corporate entities that have weird rules about them, which prevent you from actually being able to exercise your rights.
		It's the craziest thing ever.
		So it's like, I've been in several unions, and, uh, hey, I'd like to get a promotion.
		You can't.
		Union contract.
		I'm like, what?
		What's the point of being in a union if it's holding me back?
		Well, it's lifting others up.
		Okay, well, I don't want to be a part of that union.
		Well, you have no choice.
		The law says.
		The law says you can't.
		We are allowed to bar you from being an employee here unless you're part of the union.
		And then they have the right-to-work laws where it's like, you can't do that.
		Now, I agree with that.
		You can't force me to join a union.
		And then the left is like, no, everyone must join a union.
		Ah, dude, I'm so sick of it.
		I've not had any good experiences with the unions.
		None.
		Neither have I. But that's just me.
		I'm not saying all unions are bad.
		I would just prefer collective bargaining and not these weird laws they have surrounding unions.
		Like, ah man.
		Just not a fan.
		Take my money.
		Alright.
		Vosht says, speaking of IDW, Brett was on You're Welcome today.
		Very cool.
		Victor Papadopoulos says, take it from an Aussie that you are giving Claire Lehman too much credit.
		There were plenty of journalists brave enough to call out the COVID lunacy, but she wasn't one of them.
		She was not.
		And then her and her ilk got into it with me, and I was right about everything.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I remember, like, right when that article came out, we were talking about it downstairs.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, because I'm like, yo, you're rounding people up from their houses and locking them up.
		And they're like, but it's comfortable.
		And they did this propaganda thing where they had models in the in the like the forest internment camp.
unidentified		And they do like the day in the life, like the sandwich cart comes by and gives you your prepackaged meal.
unidentified		Well, it's a shame when journalists go down that route, especially journalists that were doing good work, because the whole, like the entire point of journalism, at least what it used to be before mainstream media happened and all this dumb propaganda happened, is to challenge power.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I thought you were going to say earn money.
unidentified		I mean, now, I mean, but journalists don't get paid a lot unless you're, you know, signed with mainstream media or you're, you know, pretty big in the industry.
		But like, the whole point of journalism and actual reporting is to challenge powerful people.
		That's what it's all about.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I thought you were gonna say sponsorship deals.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah.
		I mean, now, I mean, we should just make weird journalists.
		Same with, like, congressmen with, like, NASCAR jackets with all the sponsors on it.
		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That would be hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Jazanot says, Tim talks about Australia like the whole country is one city.
		Just because they poop on the streets in SF doesn't mean snap crap applies nationwide.
		Don't smear an entire country for what one state did.
		It wasn't just one state, though.
		May not have been all the states.
		But Australia was not a good actor during COVID.
unidentified		Wasn't a bastion of freedom.
unidentified		Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they did nationwide lockdown their borders and there were Australians who couldn't come back in.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Do you remember that phase?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Betorn says, my National Guard son was asked to play concierge to ID migrants in and out of NYC Hotel, take complaints for three months in spring of 23, op was passed to NGO.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Interesting.
unidentified		Wow.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Captain Titus says that's not how clearances or classified information works.
		He is probably fired, but he wouldn't lose his clearance.
		Well, the story just came out today.
		35,000 retweets?
		Like, basically 10 million views?
		Yo, it is a huge scoop that the White House was like, we need to get rid of Kamala Harris.
		That's crazy.
		And that Michelle Obama's like, I don't want to run.
unidentified		I don't think they're gonna allow this guy to continue having clearance to top-secret information if that's a clearance he has if he broke a story this large.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I agree it may not be how it works, but I also think politically it may be however they feel it should work.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he's gonna suffer the consequences for sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Jake T says, you can be in the guard and a drill sergeant.
		I almost did it coming off of active duty.
		Took the DD-214 instead.
		Interesting.
		Let's see, X10man says, maybe he's a DI escorting illegals to boot camp for citizenship for service, right?
		That, good point, and too bad we didn't see your super chat sooner, but thanks for the super chat, and I think that may be what we're seeing.
unidentified		Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Terrifying.
unidentified		Horrible.
		They're already kind of giving them citizenship though at this point, like you're just allowed in, and then you have court dates in 2032, so.
		If you feel like coming, we'll think about it.
		If you feel like showing up.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Man, we need to get some members of Congress on top of that.
		We need to know what that was.
		And they may be trying to cover it up, because if it's true that they're bringing these criminal aliens and putting them in the armed forces, you know, I said this as joking, like, send them all to Ukraine.
		There you go, you found your troops.
		That may be what they're doing.
		I mean, imagine how twisted it would be.
		They invite these people, come to America, you know, the shining city on the hill awaits.
		You get here and they're like, get on the bus, we're sending you to Iran.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I gotta be honest, militaristically, talk about a brilliant strategy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Convince hundreds of thousands of people, millions, to come, and then you just drop them off in your enemy country.
unidentified		Well, lots of them are former soldiers as well, coming over, at least a single male, so they'll fit right in.
unidentified		Might not speak the language, but all they need is a tool.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But the thing is, they don't stay in Iran, they'll come back and then they're entitled to the GI Bill.
unidentified		If they come back.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		If they come back.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		If they don't come back, okay, fair enough, but they're not loyal to your country and ultimately they're here to gain for their own benefit.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Dries says, as a former information system security manager for the Air Force, I can say that for that position, you require a top secret SCI clearance to work White House computer security.
		I have to imagine they're stripping him.
		I mean, dude, he just blabbed to a random guy he met on the internet.
		He didn't even know who it was.
		And it was James O'Keefe.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's almost funnier if they're like, okay, fine, you can stay, but don't go on any more dates with James O'Keefe.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Druid Arrow says driving is not a privilege.
		Thompson v. Smith, 154 S.E.
		579, 11 American Jurisprudence, Constitutional Law, etc.
		etc.
		The right of the citizen to travel includes automobile thereon for use in life and business.
		The right to travel includes automobile, but what does that mean?
		You're not saying that we have a right to drive a car, are you?
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		Well, on the driving test, it definitely says it's a privilege, not a right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I can respect the it's a right to be able to travel as you see fit.
		But I don't know that if I was buck naked in the middle of the woods, I'd have a right to drive around in a car.
		I suppose you would in that sense.
		You know, self defense is a human right.
		It's a natural right.
		It exists.
		But you know, all right, if that's what the law states, then then so be it.
		Let's grab some more super chats.
		Matt H says, how crazy would it be if Javier Mele is a US PSYOP to get South Americans to fight in our military?
		Maybe.
		J-Doc says, I work in military recruiting.
		They're not joining.
		Not even the DACA can join.
		AR-601-210 does not allow it.
		They have to be U.S.
		citizens or legal permanent residents with an I-551 green card.
		That's a really great point, J-Doc.
		Also, it's illegal to cross the border in the way they are.
		And it's also illegal for Customs and Border Patrol agents to work hand-in-hand with human smugglers and NGOs to bring them and drive them to the airport.
		It's also illegal to have boarding passes that say, no name given, and have these people boarding planes without going through proper security.
		So you're right, but I don't understand.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		There was also that congressman who who floated this idea, I mean, less than six months ago, probably less than three months ago, saying, hey, what if we just let them join the military and earn citizenship?
		So this is already a narrative that started, you know, it just I don't think it's off the table.
		I think this is ultimately a ploy.
		I just don't trust this.
		I think it's a terrible idea, etc, etc.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's grab some more.
		April Louderback says, the border convoy isn't going all the way down to the border, but to Dripping Springs to show support and pray.
		Guy in charge is a retired lieutenant colonel.
		You should read more about it online at TakeOurBorderBack.
		Very cool.
		I really love the idea of people going down and praying and protesting peacefully and not going in any way to interfere in any capacity with the border.
		I'm glad to hear that's what the story actually is.
brett dasovic ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of people saying, like, that was the moment this country truly started to fall.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That was the split.
unidentified		I think it was Harambe, honestly.
unidentified		I think that's what did it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That was a rough time.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, everything fell apart after that.
		All right, where we at?
		Oxlom says, weird door dash today.
		It just felt sus.
		Two Hispanics in very dirty clothes, one ran the door while driver was slowly creeping down the street with door open, didn't speak English, and you don't need a driver's license to work for a door dash.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		You don't, it's crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I gotta be honest, that sounds efficient.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		One guy drives, keeps the car in aisle, you pop the door, you run up, drop it off, run back, jump in the car, you're gone.
		That sounds efficient to me, dude.
		What do you mean?
unidentified		As long as you don't eat my food or touch it, we're good.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, true.
unidentified		I mean, if you're here illegally, then that's not great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Mark Cuban's Twitter hacked.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he was posting a bunch of weird stuff or something.
unidentified		I think he's trying, so he was retweeting a bunch of stuff about, uh, Sam Hyde made a tweet about, like, his Jewish name before, Jewish's name.
		So I think he was trying to retweet it to talk about the hate media policy on Twitter.
		But if you look at his timeline, it's like, Nick Fuentes tweets, you know, whole nine yards.
		Like, I think he's just retweeting it to, like, prove a point about how hate speech is out of control on Twitter.
		I think that's where it's going.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So Mark Cuban facilitates hate speech?
		What a hypocrite.
