Ladies and gentlemen, shocking news in the 2024 presidential cycle.
No one saw this coming, but presidential candidate Cenk Uygur has suspended his campaign.
Wow.
Also Nikki Haley and Dean Phillips.
But anyway, Cenk Uygur, wow.
This is the big news.
And in actuality, I guess the big news is that Nikki Haley is dropped out.
But no offense to Cenk, it was just funnier.
Let me just point out, that joke about Cenk suspending his campaign actually wasn't to dig at Cenk.
It's actually respect, because we're insulting Nikki Haley.
He's more important, and I mean it.
Cenk Uygur's campaign was substantially more important than Nikki Haley's, because he had a constitutional question behind what he was doing.
That being said, we've got updates on the results.
Nikki Haley, of course, has dropped out.
She won one state.
Trump has now been named the presumptive nominee.
Joe Biden is.
Joe Biden actually lost!
He lost American Samoa to this guy.
What's his name?
Jason Phillips or something?
unidentified
Jason Palmer.
tim pool
Jason Palmer.
That's right.
I didn't say Phillips.
I don't even know who the guy is.
I didn't get his name.
Yeah, Dean Phillips.
I didn't get his name right.
And so that's actually a really funny story.
Then we got this clip from MSNBS.
I'm sorry.
MSNBC, where they're surprised that people in Virginia think immigration is the most pressing issue.
So we'll talk about that.
But the actual big story today, we were initially going to lead with is, the National Guard
has been deployed in New York, 750 guardsmen as well as 250 state law enforcement into
the New York subways because people keep getting pushed onto the tracks.
It's getting real bad down there.
I just want to say, the crime wave we're seeing has gotten so bad, they're calling in the
It's reflective of their soft-on-crime policies.
But look at what they're doing with this Alex Jones-ian problem-reaction solution.
They create the problem, then there's a reaction from the people, and then they offer up the solution, which is National Guard doing bag checks in your subway.
I got an idea!
When you arrest these people, you keep them in jail, you charge these people, you don't let them go.
They argued for bail reform, put a bunch of violent criminals in the street, and then went, oh, I guess we gotta bring in the National Guard.
Coming to a town near you.
So we'll talk about that, but before we do, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.
Why?
It's the best damn coffee you'll ever have.
We are sold out.
Cross the board of Appalachian Nights because y'all love it too much.
But Rise with Roberto Jr.
is also delicious, for those that like a light roast.
And if you're a big fan of a dark roast and you did like Appalachian Nights, Stand Your Grounds is fairly comparable.
It's just a medium roast.
And I certainly do recommend it.
And of course, you can always check out Alec Stein's primetime grind.
Two times caffeine, drink responsibly.
Cast Brew proudly sponsors Alec Stein's show over at The Blaze.
We're big fans.
And when you buy Cast Brew Coffee, not only are you supporting our work here at Timcast, but you're helping to support our physical space.
Last night, We had our first live show in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
And it was really cool because the guys next door, they had a watch party.
They were fans.
Really, really awesome.
And we had maybe about 60 or so people came.
It was awesome.
Live studio audience, everybody clapping and cheering when Dave Smith made jokes and he appreciated that.
And we're hoping to do more, potentially, maybe the end of April if we can get that going, then once a month.
And that's made possible because that building is the Cast Brew Coffee Shop building.
The first floor is It's not quite begun.
We're waiting on permits to get the construction going, but it should only be a couple months once that's finalized.
Second floor is our social club.
So buy Casper Coffee to support our work, but also go to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, and support our work directly.
And I will add, if you want to come to these live events, we are not putting up ads, we're not posting on the show or anything like that.
We'll mention it on the show, but only after.
When you're a member, we will send out an email announcing when the next show will be, and so you need to check your emails.
The reason why?
It is a private event.
We are not publicly advertising it, and that's very, very important.
So there are a lot of people who missed the email and then tickets sold out really quick, and I apologize, but that's the way we're doing this.
Members will get an email, so check your emails.
And the other big issue is if you're an elite member.
That's a hundred bucks a month, but The second floor will, hopefully within the next month or two, be opened up as our social club for elite members, meaning you'll get a key fob, you can buzz yourself in, hang out, watch shows, play pool, and we're getting all that set up right now, so that's our plan for our physical locations.
Of course, as a member, you'll get access to our uncensored members-only show.
We'll have one up for you tonight at 10 p.m.
You don't want to miss it.
Also, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with all your friends right now.
Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else is Heidi Briones.
unidentified
Hey, happy to be here.
tim pool
Who are you?
What do you do?
unidentified
My name's Heidi Brionis.
I'm a writer, content creator, former congressional candidate out of Portland, Oregon.
I write at HeidiBrionis.com and I have a whole lot of fun on X at Heidi Brionis and happy to be here.
tim pool
Right on!
Thanks for hanging out.
It should be fun.
We got Libby hanging out.
libby emmons
I'm Libby Emmons.
I'm hanging out.
I'm here from thepostmillennialandhumanevents.com.
I'm glad to be here.
ian crossland
And Ian Crosland, Radio Rock and Roll.
What's up, everybody?
Good to see you, Heidi.
unidentified
Good to meet you.
libby emmons
Thanks, Ian.
unidentified
Great to meet you.
ian crossland
Finally, I see you on Twitter all the time, very frequently.
That was hyperbole, saying all the time, but often I see you on Twitter, so thanks to meet you in person.
unidentified
Well, good.
Yeah, it's great to meet you, too.
ian crossland
Right on.
What's happening, Surge?
Nice glasses, man.
serge du preez
Yo, yeah.
I had these glasses before Sam Hyde in his famous videos in the 2020 year.
But anyways, what's up in Surge.com?
Let's get started.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, we have huge news in the 2024 cycle.
The presidential candidate, Cenk Uygur, has suspended his campaign and is formally out.
We were saddened to hear it, but this announcement just came within the past hour.
POTUS candidate Cenk Uygur announces on TYT Live that he's officially suspending his campaign for president, reflecting on fighting for naturalized citizens, for Biden to drop out, and for Palestinians.
I do respect he is fighting for Biden to drop out.
We can agree on that one.
He says, this was part of my announcement on T.W.T.
that I'm suspending the campaign and no longer actively campaigning as a candidate.
I'm honest about what we were able to accomplish and what we weren't.
Love my supporters for trying to make a difference.
Now, you may be asking, what?
Well, I gotta be honest.
Yeah, Nikki Haley also dropped out, but she never mattered in the first place.
There was no big question on her campaign.
It was utter confusion the whole time.
And of course, the actual big story that everyone's been talking about all day is that Nikki Haley has exited the Republican presidential race.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say this, uh, Cenk Uygur's presidential campaign mattered 100 times more than Nikki Haley's.
Because at the very least, he was asking a constitutional question.
He was not born in the United States, but he believes that the 14th Amendment changed those rules, and as a naturalized citizen, he's entitled to all of the rights of any other citizen, including running for the office of presidency.
Many disagree.
Instead, everybody's talking about Nikki Haley who finally quit, but uh, to be fair, she uh, she won Vermont!
You know, that was really important. It's an open primary crowd of the park. And I, you know, what's happening now
with her, uh, suspension announcement.
She said, Trump needs to win over the people who supported me. And we're hearing from, I think the daily beast wrote
something up saying the fact that, you know, 30% of Republicans wanted Nikki Haley over. Trump says a lot. And
I'm like one. It doesn't know because a lot of people wanted Ted Cruz and didn't get him. And I still believe
unidentified
that.
Anybody but Trump.
That's the Anybody But Trump group, right?
tim pool
Yeah, and two, Vermont's an open primary, so like, I'm not gonna count all these Democrats.
They mean nothing.
So here we are, and then finally on the Biden front, you gotta shout out, this is Jason Palmer.
I didn't even get his name right in the intro.
Jason Palmer beat Joe Biden in American Samoa.
ian crossland
I gotta go there one day.
unidentified
He's big in American Samoa.
libby emmons
Yeah, definitely.
It's gotta be on the list now.
unidentified
It's like being big in Japan, but you're big in Samoa.
tim pool
I wonder if he's ever been there.
It was 50 votes, I think.
ian crossland
Oh, nice.
tim pool
Yeah, so maybe it's just... That's amazing.
You know, I wonder if a bunch of people in Samoa are like, we can't vote for Biden.
unidentified
Yeah, they just like the way his name sounded when he was on the ballot.
ian crossland
They're probably concerned about Taiwan.
We need a real commander.
tim pool
What was that guy's name?
There was some guy on the primary ballot named President R. Bidot or something.
Did you see that?
libby emmons
Oh, I didn't see that.
tim pool
Yeah, what was it?
Someone Google that real quick, get his name.
What people were assuming is that this guy put himself on the list so that elderly people with poor vision would see President Buh-Duh or whatever and vote for him.
ian crossland
I can't find it, I don't know.
Do you know how to look it up?
I can't find it.
tim pool
Look up President R Primary.
And then that should come up.
Did anybody find it?
libby emmons
I did not find it.
tim pool
Really?
It's on my Twitter.
libby emmons
It's on your Twitter.
tim pool
How could you guys not find this?
You gotta learn how to do your internet research.
libby emmons
What's going on?
Yeah, well, my favorite thing was Biden coming out trying to make a play for Nikki Haley's voters.
And he said, Donald Trump made it clear he doesn't want Nikki Haley's supporters.
I want to be clear there's space for them in my campaign.
And then he said, there's a lot we don't agree on and went on to talk about democracy and a whole bunch of nonsense.
But as I was looking at this statement earlier today, I realized I don't even know what Nikki Haley stands for.
I don't know anything about her platform other than probably sending a lot of money overseas.
ian crossland
Yeah, she wanted to make everyone sign up with their social security number to use social media, too.
tim pool
She's kind of a rocker on that.
It was Badi, President R. Badi, right above Joseph R. Biden Jr.
And Democrats were getting mad, they were like, is this guy trying to confuse people?
And I'm just like, if your name is Biden, if your last name is Biden, you should change your first name to President, and definitely put yourself on this balance.
I'm kidding, don't do that.
But what if this guy's name was actually like Richard Biden, and he changed his name to President?
libby emmons
Or what if he was named president?
What if his parents were just really aspirational?
You know?
Like, if you name your kid Doctor, he'll be like Doctor Doctor?
ian crossland
For sure.
libby emmons
Yeah.
unidentified
Can't you put almost any name you want on some of these ballots, though, in some states?
tim pool
I can't believe he was actually able to put President.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
But people were, the Democrats were like, elderly folks with poor vision are gonna see President Arabad and be like, that's it.
unidentified
What state was this in?
tim pool
It was actually all over, I'm pretty sure.
I don't know what state this one was, though.
Uh, California.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
ian crossland
That's weird that Biden's at the bottom.
I think they put him at the top of the list.
unidentified
They do it randomly.
libby emmons
Do they do it randomly?
unidentified
Yeah, most states do it randomly.
tim pool
Who is Gabriel Cornejo?
ian crossland
That looks like it's in reverse alphabetical order, that list.
tim pool
No, it doesn't.
unidentified
Yeah, it is.
ian crossland
Oh, no, you're right.
tim pool
It's not.
unidentified
Cambridge and Cornejo are... They do it randomly, to be fair, because if you're at the top, it's shown that you have an advantage, actually.
ian crossland
Yeah.
Oh, you mean by last name?
Alphabetical last name reverse, but it's not.
libby emmons
It's close.
ian crossland
Maybe it is random.
Yeah, I'm glad Cenk.
I have a lot of respect for Cenk Uygur as a person.
For the last 20 years, I've enjoyed watching his stuff.
Off and on, I disagree with a lot of what he says.
tim pool
Yeah, particularly about horses.
ian crossland
Particularly about the equine nature of reality.
unidentified
Love.
ian crossland
But I massively appreciate it.
He puts his money where his mouth is, he hires a bunch of people, he runs a news organization, and he runs for president.
The guy has balls.
tim pool
Especially when he was accused of union busting.
That was ballsy.
I respect that.
When you're a progressive running a liberal leftist organization, claiming to be progressive, and then you yell and scream at people when they try to form a union, I mean, that shows that you really care about the capitalist enterprise that you're engaged in.
ian crossland
Well, I don't know about that part.
Well, I think that this whole, like, should you be a naturalized citizen to run for president?
Do you have to be born here?
Not, because right before the show... It's a good question to ask, right?
unidentified
I mean, we should be asking these questions.
ian crossland
Like Tim was mentioning before the show, a member of the Chinese Communist Party comes over here, pops the baby out in three days, goes back with the baby to China, raises the baby as a Chinese Communist Party member.
Then when the baby's 38, they fly over here speaking barely any English.
Well, maybe they know English at that point.
They can run for president, even though they're a communist...
Party member just because those three days they were born and the nah, Jake Uygur is way more
Respect and I think authority to run for president than that kid would this is I I actually agree a lot
tim pool
With jenk uygur's argument on the right to run for president
Not so much that I think he's correct, but I agree. There's a problem
And he argued that as a naturalized citizen, he should be entitled to all the rights and privileges of any other citizen.
But the Constitution so far, or the rulings and interpretation has been, he cannot be president because he wasn't born here, despite being naturalized.
So he's a citizen, he can vote.
It's an interesting question.
And as Ian pointed out before the chat started, the argument I had with him, I should say the agreement was, There's birth tourism.
People from China will fly to California, they do this today, within like a month of when they're about to give birth, stay, give birth to their children, and then a week or two later, whenever they're getting out of the hospital, fly back to China.
Now their child is eligible for American citizenship, eligible to be the president.
So this kid could be flown back to Communist China as a card-carrying Chinese Communist Party member, indoctrinated, supported, and trained, and then 35 years later come back to the U.S.
without speaking a word of English and run for president.
That one doesn't make sense.
unidentified
That's not fair.
That's definitely possible.
Well, I mean, it's a good question.
We should really examine birthright citizenship in general and, you know, what the rights of being naturalized actually mean.
What does it actually mean to be naturalized?
And you can vote for president, but you can't run?
Kind of weird.
tim pool
What if the compromise is we eliminate birthright citizenship, but this means naturalized citizens can be president?
ian crossland
Can't hear you.
unidentified
It makes sense.
tim pool
Everyone else at home just hears dead silence for three seconds.
ian crossland
You like that idea though?
serge du preez
I mean, I'm a naturalized citizen and I appreciate that because then that means that the stuff that I went through to become a citizen then is worth something.
It makes it worthy of what it is, so yeah, I'm all for that.
tim pool
Why should we value an illegal immigrant who crosses the border, running from law enforcement,
who then gives birth and that kid now has more rights than Serge does and Serge is someone
who came here, worked really, really hard legally to become a citizen.
I think it's an interesting question.
I think Jenka's right about that.
I disagree with him politically, but I do think there's a problem where illegal immigrants
can come here, have kids, and then that kid could be president.
libby emmons
I think that's pretty interesting.
I like this idea that naturalized citizens can become president thing.
I think that's what it is in a lot of places.
I think that's probably what it is in Canada and the UK, which would be most similar, I think, to us, although I'm not sure.
But the thing that that means is no amnesty, no like mass amnesty for 8 million illegal immigrants who randomly walked across the border or got flown in after making an appointment on an app as to when they would illegally cross the border and get, you know, their asylum date.
So yeah, I think that would work.
remove birthright citizenship, go with naturalized citizens, can become president.
But then, absolutely, if you entered the country illegally, no, you can never become a, then you
should never be able to become a naturalized citizen, maybe something like that.
Just spitballing here.
But there should be really strict rules.
If we're opening up the privileges, then access to those privileges needs
to be earned in a really serious way.
You can't just wander across the border, be part of a mass amnesty, and then run for president.
tim pool
But let me do this real quick and jump to this tweet.
We can carry on the conversation.
I want to point out, just because you were born here doesn't mean you will be a good leader, as exemplified by this tweet.
Breaking911 says, the entire administration is incompetent.
In this tweet, at POTUS tweets, tune in at 9 p.m.
Eastern tomorrow evening for my plan on how we get this done.
And as you can see, it was sent at 5.05 p.m.
March 6, 2024, to listen to the State of the Union 2023.
On February 7th!
unidentified
Fire the graphic designer!
tim pool
Okay, here's my assumption as to what happened.
The metadata on the URL had not been changed when they tweeted this out.
So Twitter sent last year's data.
libby emmons
They should have scraped it.
Do they not know you can scrape things?
unidentified
You click a button.
tim pool
You click a bug.
libby emmons
You click it a hundred million times.
At least test it.
unidentified
You have to have a burner account.
libby emmons
But if you're posting that, don't you see the preview?
When I post stuff, I see a preview.
And a lot of times I'm like, nah, not that.
I'm gonna fix it.
tim pool
I think they deleted this.
But the conversation we were having was birthright citizenship and the right of people to be president if they weren't born here and things like that.
And I'd just like to ask you a question.
Who would you rather have?
Joe Biden or Dinesh D'Souza?
libby emmons
Oh, Dinesh, yeah, for sure.
tim pool
And he wasn't born here, and so that's an interesting question.
libby emmons
But he's really fascinating and smart.
tim pool
Right, and he loves this country, and he's fought for this country in ways that we appreciate, and so... It looks like his son-in-law's gonna end up in Congress.
libby emmons
He's got a good shot.
tim pool
Oh, right on.
But it's an interesting question, because I certainly understand the risks of allowing people who aren't born here from being president, but I just love the idea.
Like, they should have answered this question at the Civil War, when they introduced this birthright citizenship stuff.
It's like, hey, you do realize, if you have to be born here to be president, but anyone who's born here can be a citizen, that's going to create a whole bunch of problems, right?
ian crossland
I think that this comes from the time when, I don't know when this law was made, 200 years ago-ish?
When people, if they came across the southern border illegally, under cover, and had a baby, and then they fled back to Mexico, and then they came back 20 years later and were like, They have no way to even show that the kid was born in the US, so there's no proof.
You need to get there, stabilize, prove it, get documentation, and that's how you would even prove that you were born in the country.
Now, with all this new digital tech, cameras and radios and stuff, it's more easy to track if someone was born here, even if they don't go through the work.
So it's like we're giving them, we feel like we have to give them these bonuses because of ancient laws.
Um, so maybe it is really time to change this law.
unidentified
I just like the idea of citizenship meaning something again.
I mean, you work for it.
It's something that you, you know, you have to earn, you have to at least know what the constitution says.
For example, you have to have some basic, um, understanding of government and the laws and how things function, um, you know, to run for office or to be a citizen at all.
Maybe, I mean, there has to be some kind of test, you know, and it's like naturalized citizens go through that.
We don't, I mean, we're just born here and that's it.
tim pool
If you had to choose, if only two candidates running were Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks and Joe Biden, who would you vote for?
unidentified
Jank probably.
tim pool
What do you think?
libby emmons
Aw, damn.
I don't know.
I disagree with everything both of them stand for.
tim pool
Would you not vote for Janks?
That's not true.
But I'll wait.
I'd like to see what Ian says.
ian crossland
Would you not vote for any of them?
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
Answer the question.
ian crossland
Jank Ugar all the way, man.
tim pool
Jank Ugar, no question.
libby emmons
I have certainly not voted in the past.
tim pool
There's two big reasons.
I believe he would pardon Julian Assange.
True.
I'll take it.
And he also hates the establishment Democrats, so he'd certainly enact policies and lead
this country in a very, very dark, dangerous way I don't like, but better than the uniparty
establishment.
Yep.
And like I was saying with Trump, if you're Antifa, you should vote for Trump.
Trump versus Biden?
Vote for the bull who's gonna rampage through the establishment, not the establishment.
At least after Trump gets in, you have a chance at changing something.
If it was down to the uniparty establishment, Mitt Romney versus Cenk Uygur, I'd vote for Cenk Uygur.
I'd be like, well, at least Julian Assange gets a pardon out of it, and I don't know what he would do.
He'd probably pull a lot of our foreign policy, our foreign spending, which is probably good.
He'd enact a whole bunch of crackpot policies I don't like, but Biden does that already.
Open borders and all the other crazy stuff is already happening.
So I'll take it.
unidentified
At least Cenk is competent.
I mean, he's like mentally, you know, I feel like I'd be okay.
tim pool
I mean, Cenk's a wild guy.
Like, yeah, when we had him on the Culture War show, he does this thing where When he encounters an argument he can't handle, he just makes weird noises and he goes, like, you're not really talking anymore.
unidentified
But I certainly not my first choice.
tim pool
Look, I want to, I got to say, like, to everybody who's watching, I don't know who would pick Biden over Cenk Uygur.
Jill Biden, that's about it.
ian crossland
Maybe Hunter.
tim pool
Normies, for sure.
But I'm saying, of the people who pay attention to politics, it's probably 80-20.
And the 20 is like, no, he's a Marxist, I don't care, I'll take Biden, we can beat Biden, but we don't want a Marxist.
And my attitude is like, voting for someone like Cenk rips apart the deep state.
You don't get what you want right away, but it rips apart the deep state to a certain degree.
Not that I trust Cenk Uygur, but I do think he pardoned Julian Assange.
I think that's important.
ian crossland
Did you confirm that with him when he was on the show?
tim pool
Yes, he said absolutely.
And foreign war?
He said, yeah, no war.
And I'm like, I'll take what I can get.
unidentified
Foreign policy would be much better.
ian crossland
I don't know if there really are two realities.
This came up last night.
They were like, we live in two realities.
Or the night before, maybe.
But it's like, Cenk lives in this reality.
This, like, normal, where he can see, like, yo, this world uniparty is a real, cross-national organizations are happening.
Just because it looks like Germany on a map doesn't mean that that's where German authority begins and ends.
Like, the diaspora is real and it's corporate.
tim pool
Can someone can someone say something insulting about Biden's administration's incompetency over this post?
Like, it's the little things, you know what I mean?
ian crossland
Yeah, firstly, they don't have a chain of command.
Someone should have seen that.
They left it up to one guy to be the mouthpiece of our nation.
libby emmons
Well, I mean, it's just some doofy social media person who's probably some intern, you know, like... We have social media people, people make mistakes, but they fix them right away, and they don't make these mistakes.
You know what I mean?
tim pool
Also, is it really at 9pm?
libby emmons
We all make mistakes.
tim pool
You know, I gotta be honest, because part of me was like, could this be fake?
But at Breaking 911 doesn't post fake things.
unidentified
It could be fake.
libby emmons
They always post at 9.
I mean, the State of the Union's always at 9.
tim pool
Is it 9?
libby emmons
I saw on... I thought it was at 9 last year.
unidentified
Is that a way younger picture of Biden, too?
tim pool
It does say 9 p.m.
down there, but Google said 8 p.m.
earlier.
ian crossland
Oh, he's going to give a plan on how he gets it done again.
So he's going to give us a campaign speech tomorrow and not tell us about what the State of the Union is.
He's not going to talk about the State of the Union.
Last time he just used the opportunity to give a campaign speech.
tim pool
I know, and then we, as a primetime show, have to listen to him garble and bleh.
unidentified
No, but Hillary Clinton says that he makes more sense.
tim pool
But hey, wait, wait, hold on.
Who was it who speculated he wasn't going to make it past March, past Super Tuesday?
libby emmons
Lots of us.
tim pool
No, no, no, there was a prominent...
Political personality.
I can't remember they said that they were betting by Super Tuesday Biden is out.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
What if, what if the real purpose of the State of the Union.
libby emmons
Oh my goodness.
unidentified
No way.
tim pool
Is that Biden standing at the podium says, my fellow Americans.
unidentified
I drop out.
tim pool
It's been a long year.
And I think it's important, you know, looking at Super Tuesday.
ian crossland
I'm suspending my Super Tuesday.
tim pool
It's Super Tuesday.
ian crossland
And then Gavin Newsom runs on.
unidentified
That went darker than I thought.
tim pool
Yeah, I was like, what did you guys think I was saying?
That he was going to be like, I quit? No!
He's going to be standing there.
libby emmons
He's going to be okay.
He's going to have one of those Mitch McConnell moments and then collapse to the ground.
tim pool
And then Gavin Newsom runs out, rolls up his sleeves and is like,
I'm not a doctor, but I've done this before.
ian crossland
but I've done this before.
Back off!
unidentified
Get out of my way!
He's gonna be alright!
tim pool
My proposed scenario, hypothesis, was long, like, not that I think it's actually gonna happen, but Gavin Newsom then goes on a PR tour on every major network, every show, Bill Maher's got him on, Jon Stewart's got him on, John Oliver's got him on, and they're all going, you saved the president's life.
How does that feel?
Every everywhere and then there's gonna be tribute by billboards And it's gonna be like Gavin Newsom, and they're gonna be
like whether what whatever you do now Gavin You've saved the president's life. I mean there are there
are people in this country's history, but not many can say that
And he's going to say, look, I'm just a guy and I did what any good American would do.
And then Joe Biden is not going to be dead.
He'll be incapacitated.
Kamala Harris will step in and say, it is not my responsibility to run for a re-election.
It's to lead this country in this dire time.
And then Gavin Newsom says, I will take up this mantle.
I will make that sacrifice.
libby emmons
The sacrifice, that's the part that would really do it.
I think that that would be a much fairer race to send Trump versus Biden.
tim pool
Joe Biden's going to come out tomorrow and his teeth are going to be falling out while he talks, and I mean that literally, not as an insult.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
I'm assuming.
Didn't his teeth fall out in the 2019 debates?
He turned around and was like... Really?
libby emmons
Oh, that's creepy.
ian crossland
We'll have to take this.
tim pool
I'm not ragging on him.
Your teeth fall out when you get old.
You know what I mean?
libby emmons
Not everybody's.
My grandma's teeth didn't fall out for a really long time.
She was like a hundred.
tim pool
Oh, wow.
libby emmons
Before she was getting like false teeth in there.
unidentified
Those look like dentures in that picture.
I wouldn't doubt it.
tim pool
Someone Google it.
Does Joe Biden have fake teeth?
unidentified
They're a little too perfect.
libby emmons
That's what I'm going to see if I can Google right now.
I wasn't able to earlier.
unidentified
Yeah, older people still have their teeth, but they're not like perfect.
ian crossland
Yeah, he has dentures.
libby emmons
Oh, he does.
Looks like it.
ian crossland
I think he'll say MAGA Republicans.
He'll say like kind of like MAGA Republicans, like at least three times tomorrow.
unidentified
Ultra MAGA.
ian crossland
Because what else is he going to talk about?
If he's going to talk about his plan, is it to get the bad guys, which are domestic terrorists?
Like what's his plan right now?
I don't know what their plan is.
I haven't heard any plan.
Maybe I just haven't been listening.
tim pool
You know what, I could respect Joe Biden.
If he came out in like a black leather jacket with aviators on, smiling, and walked up to the podium and just went, I don't actually want to win again!
I got one more year!
You think I'm wasting my time with this garbage?
I'm gonna burn this country to the ground and then I'm gonna go off right into the sunset and do a bunch of drugs.
I'd be like...
I respect the honesty, you know what I mean?
ian crossland
I respect it, at least.
tim pool
It won't happen, but, you know, a person can imagine.
unidentified
He made raves illegal, so I'll never forgive him for that.
libby emmons
He made raves illegal?
ian crossland
When?
What happened?
unidentified
The Rave Act.
What?
You never heard of the Rave Act?
No.
Restricting Americans.
libby emmons
Is this like a Tipper Gore style thing?
unidentified
Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act.
What?
That got pushed into another act.
Wait a second, what?
libby emmons
How do you make raves illegal?
ian crossland
Ecstasy's already illegal.
unidentified
Yeah, but you basically don't allow them to throw the events at certain locations.
You don't allow them to have non-profits, such as DanceSafe, test pills and do other things that make the events possible.
You basically undercut the events, and so that really changed underground music.
And I love underground electronic music, so I never forgave Joe Biden.
libby emmons
When I was in high school, we used to drive from Philly out to raves and random airplane hangars and stuff.
unidentified
You know why that stopped?
Because of Joe Biden and the RAVE Act.
I swear.
tim pool
Let's jump to our good friends over at MSNBS here.
libby emmons
This was amazing.
tim pool
Chad Gilmour says MSDNC panel mocks the fact immigration is a top issue for voters across the country.
This is wild because they insult West Virginians as they're going at it.
unidentified
I mean, if you look at some of these exit polls, I mean, I live in Virginia.
Immigration was the number one issue.
I mean, again, these could change in Virginia.
tim pool
Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia.
unidentified
It's very, very consistent.
You're thinking, like, what?
libby emmons
Screw those people!
tim pool
Hold on, hold on.
The one thing I'm going to say is, I don't care they're joking.
When she was like, they do have a border with West Virginia, it's like, ha ha ha, we get it, that's fine.
Make a joke, laugh, but she's shocked.
She's like, what?
That's what she said.
She goes, what?
That immigration is a top issue.
Was it like a 14-year-old girl that just got raped in Virginia by an illegal immigrant?
libby emmons
It's like daily toddlers.
unidentified
I see a news story daily about an illegal immigrant killing somebody, raping somebody.
It's happening in Europe too.
tim pool
Where in Virginia does Jen Psaki live?
Because I'm going to go ahead and assume it's like Arlington and she's surrounded by big mansions that go back to the 1600s or something.
libby emmons
Or Alexandria, in one of those cute little houses in the little old town.
tim pool
No, I bet she's in a big... She's well off.
libby emmons
You think she's got a big one?
tim pool
Well, let's see what her net worth is.
libby emmons
If I was really rich, I'd still have a little house.
tim pool
I bet she's worth millions.
ian crossland
A little house and a big house?
libby emmons
No, I think I'd just have a little house.
unidentified
Well, she probably needs a bigger house for security reasons.
tim pool
I don't believe these websites, but this says her net worth is $2 million.
I don't believe them because it once said that Ian's net worth was $5 million, and it's way more than that.
It might actually be, I don't know, people think I'm joking, right?
We don't know what Ian's doing.
No, but it says she's worth two million.
A good portion is probably in real estate.
I imagine she's got like, I don't know, what, like a six, $700,000 house in Virginia, where she's got real, look, I gotta tell you, you go, you're, Reston, and Reston's fantastic.
And then, what's that one town?
Let me pull it up.
I'm gonna give a shout out.
to this really amazing little part of the DC suburbs.
And I wanna make sure it's not Reston, I'm sorry, it's Maryland, it's Potomac in Maryland.
libby emmons
So not Virginia.
When I cross into Northern Virginia from West Virginia, it's like you can smell money.
You're like, oh, that is so rich.
It's so rich there.
tim pool
So Reston is great.
I mean, these are rich people in very safe areas.
Hoity-toity.
And no disrespect, we got fans in Reston.
You know, shout out.
And I'll give a shout out.
Let me see if I can pull up this.
Here we go.
Barcelona Wine Bar in Reston, Virginia is like the best tapas I've ever had.
We went there like three weeks in a row because it was so good.
libby emmons
Oh, I went with you guys.
Yeah, it was amazing.
tim pool
And so my point is just it's very nice.
Everything's very nice.
And so for someone like Jen Psaki, who's got like this political disposition of Why are people so upset about immigration?
Well, because she lives in this insulated bubble world.
unidentified
She's sheltered.
tim pool
Right.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Other people are like watching the news and they're like, oh, another child was raped again.
Like, jeez, what's going on?
unidentified
It's not these people's kids that get harmed.
You know, it's like poor people's kids, middle class.
ian crossland
Excessive immigration, it's like a flood, it's like a dam building up.
The pressure is building and building.
It's not like, it's just going to be like, oops, now we see what happened, now let's fix it.
It's like, if you don't do anything about it and the dam bursts, then all of a sudden you have gangs in different cities organizing and controlling things with weapons.
You cannot allow this crazy crap.
So I don't know what to do, because mass deportations does sound like not the right way to go.
That's gonna be historically remembered as like the day that the United States went became the Nazi party.
unidentified
Why?
ian crossland
Fearing that the good guys in their desire to do good end up becoming the evil ones.
That story's been told over and over throughout time.
unidentified
No, no, Ian.
We need to depart.
tim pool
No, no, Ian.
The saying is be careful when fighting monsters, you know, because you might lose to those monsters.
ian crossland
Lest ye become one, that is the story.
Gaze into the abyss long enough and the abyss gazes into you.
So like, in a desire to do right, I don't think that leaving them in this country unattended is the right move, but the idea that we would set up like some police state, spy state, to try and find them and then deport them, like then we just have this new infrastructure to deport and destroy other people.
unidentified
We know where they are, they're in like hotels and we're housing them and paying for them.
We have no choice.
tim pool
We have no choice.
unidentified
We have to deport them.
libby emmons
I think we have to deport as well because the other piece of it too is that's a huge major deterrent.
If you look at the family separation thing that happened under Obama and then it happened under Trump, that turned out to really decrease the number of people who came to the border seeking to get in.
When we keep extending all of these programs and opportunities and You know, reversing Remain in Mexico, which was actually a terrible idea to reverse that.
When we do all of that stuff, we're actually just encouraging people from all over the world to come in.
And we have to deter it.
tim pool
But the issue is, you would have to create a massive new police force in order to actually deport 15 or so million people.
Dave Smith brought this up last night, and he's correct.
Yes, criminal aliens need to be deported.
There's no excuse.
If you overstay your visa, you get deported.
You're not a citizen of this country.
And as Bernie Sanders said, if you have open borders, your country will get poorer.
That being said, how will this be done is the challenge.
And Ian's correct.
I certainly do not like the answer of Trump gets in and then says, I'm going to need, you know, $5 billion to rapidly expand and create a new police force in this country to track down illegal immigrants or to rapidly expand ICE.
And then you have to understand what that means.
That means you're gonna have ICE agents knocking on doors.
You're gonna have warrants.
They will likely have to come to your house.
libby emmons
There's gonna be people getting killed.
There's gonna be law enforcement who will get killed.
tim pool
What we're asking for, that I don't mind, law enforcement.
Law enforcement, good thing.
Having law enforcement hold people accountable, good thing.
Challenge, rapidly expanding government power in a short period of time, bad thing.
ian crossland
Yeah, I'm thinking of the metaphor of, like, your boat is taking on water.
It's still taking on water.
These are the immigrants coming across the border.
So let's get this water out of the boat.
But you ever see that meme where the guy's, like, trying to bail the bucket out of the boat, but it's filling faster than he's able to bail?
So, like, how do you get all that water out?
Well, you can boil it.
And if the water is the immigrant, I'm not talking about destroying it.
Like, there's other ways than grabbing them and moving them.
There are other ways.
There's got to be.
tim pool
So the first thing that's happened is we need border security.
So when Trump gets elected, Here's what he should do.
Encourage all southern border states to create their own border barriers.
Trump does not need to build a big, beautiful wall from sea to shining sea, 30 feet made of concrete.
He can go to all these border states, and he can say, do your thing.
Because they've already tried, and Biden's shut them down.
Once you have that in place, you then seek the areas out where they're breaking through, where the criminal aliens, the cartel members are breaking through.
libby emmons
Like that Eagle Pass part?
tim pool
You stop that.
After that, then you start, you can't bail water until you've plugged the leak.
You do that.
And you don't need, you know, it's funny, Michael Ian Black wrote this really stupid article where he's like, 20 million, 20, you need two, two police officers for every illegal immigrant to get them all done in a day.
And it's like, shut up.
He actually said Trump would enlist the Proud Boys.
And I'm like, there's like 10,000 Proud Boys.
unidentified
What about, like, I mean, aren't 18-year-olds, you know, male 18-year-olds more conservative than they've been in a long time?
libby emmons
Yes.
unidentified
Okay.
Don't you think some of them would volunteer for some, like, a mission?
libby emmons
Not really.
tim pool
But we don't need- Have you met these kids?
We don't need a multi-million dollar expansion.
I mean, I'm not talking about- And we don't need to deport everybody in one year.
So if we're talking about large-scale deportation, We would need to expand, and I think the answer is actually really simple.
After we secure the border, there should be a moratorium on all immigration.
A temporary moratorium for two years or whatever.
I think that's right.
unidentified
100%.
libby emmons
Legal, illegal, all of it.
tim pool
Absolutely, all of it.
unidentified
No asylum until we figure out what's going on.
There's some people that are just close to finishing their legal immigration.
libby emmons
If you're in process, you're in process.
unidentified
That's fine.
libby emmons
Nothing new.
tim pool
No new applications, temporarily, until we can figure out what the hell's going on.
unidentified
Until we figure out what's going on.
tim pool
That's right.
unidentified
Yep, absolutely.
libby emmons
What about overseas adoptions?
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
tim pool
And I'm saying for like a year because we have a we have an invasion at the border.
And the answer is not OK.
Now that Trump's in, we'll close the border and forget about the invasion.
No, we need to remedy this.
Man, I, I, a moratorium would free up CBP and ICE to start enforcing the law.
unidentified
We also need to recruit.
We do need to have more people going into the military, the National Guard, these certain branches.
We possibly even need it to be compulsory.
I know people don't like that, but in a lot of countries it's compulsory to serve at least a year in the military.
Might be a good idea.
What do you think of the civil service year?
Yeah, civil service year.
tim pool
Here's a good super chat.
Jason Takes says, it's pretty simple.
He says, find the tariff of any employer or landlord caught with illegals, no deportation needed.
It's actually a really good point.
You wouldn't actually need to expand to the tune of millions of Law enforcement agents to do this, it could actually be very procedural in that it is a criminal offense to harbor, you know, no fines.
No, no, Jason, no fines.
You're close.
No, criminal action.
If your company is caught to have employed non-citizens illegally, everyone involved in that process is subject to a misdemeanor criminal charge.
Misdemeanor, I'm not talking felonies.
You know, you'll get fined, you'll get community service, or you'll get like a month, but nothing crazy.
But that simple, simple, hey, it's a criminal act to do this, people are gonna be like, no way.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I'm not doing it.
And then what happens is, you might have a hiring director, and they're gonna take very, very seriously.
Do you have an ID?
Are you a citizen?
You are?
Okay, you bring in your ID, you bring in your passport.
There's not gonna be any mistakes.
And then anyone else involved in the HR process, if they find out someone was hiring, they're gonna be like, I am not gonna get charged because of what you're doing.
There's no way this is happening.
And it would create those deterrents.
ian crossland
This is like, imagine a kid born here, illegally came across, born here, and 17 years go by and they're still hunting for him.
tim pool
Wait, born here?
ian crossland
Yeah, like his mom came across and, you know, whatever.
His mom's illegal, but he's technically not.
Or his elite came across and he was two.
They brought him across.
And now, 17 years later, and he's been being hunted.
For his whole life, he's been hunted.
Like, that kind of life, I don't want to make that reality.
I just don't know if there's any other way because of what's happened with this illegal invasion.
tim pool
And I hear you.
But what you're saying to me right now is, someone stole my bike today.
But then I realized the person who stole it is happier for having taken it than I am for having lost it.
ian crossland
The kid wasn't the criminal, that's the problem.
unidentified
Right, but the kids right now, if that happens, I forget what it's called, but that is a real situation where the kid comes over, they're like two or three.
libby emmons
That's why they had DACA.
unidentified
Yeah, right, but then they get public education, they get all this stuff until they're 18, and then suddenly, you know, that all runs dry and now they realize they're illegal, they don't have the same rights.
tim pool
It is the fault of the parents?
Not us.
It is not our fault that a parent broke the law knowing we as good people would try to create some leeway for their child.
It is the utmost offense to me that there is someone who's like, it's like you got a 30 year old guy and he's got like a seven year old daughter and he goes, I know that when I break the law, they will come after me and they will and they will destroy me, but my child will have the best future ever and they'll pay for it.
And I'm like, you are exploiting our goodwill.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I say no more.
unidentified
I say no more.
No public education, no benefits.
libby emmons
Because it would take not very long for that to be a huge deterrent.
Right.
It would take not very long.
unidentified
You get nothing when you come.
No, your kids can't go to school.
libby emmons
And you definitely don't get $10,000 or whatever that the city of New York is planning to give you.
You definitely don't get an Xbox.
You definitely don't get all this stuff that Chicago is doling out.
I think that it would I think it would be very painful to watch.
Yes, I think you're right about that.
I think that our hearts would be broken at watching it.
But I also think that it would be a huge deterrent.
unidentified
Let me pull up this video.
tim pool
Let me pull up this video.
I got a video.
libby emmons
I agree.
tim pool
I got a video here.
libby emmons
He's got a video.
tim pool
I'm going to play this video from Wall Street Silver.
This exemplifies a lot of what's going on in this country.
It ties in with immigration and crime.
Here's a man.
It's about a guy who bought his groceries and what he's dealing with.
And I think many people can relate to this.
He can't afford his groceries anymore.
He struggles to feed his kids.
Check this out.
unidentified
Am I the only one that feels like they just can't do this anymore?
I just got back from the grocery store.
Let me show you what I bought.
This is all I purchased.
That's it.
Takis.
This is dinner for tonight.
A few snacks for my kids they wanted.
And dinner for them tomorrow night.
The pizza.
That's it.
Some veggies.
I didn't even buy the organic stuff.
I bought the cheapest stuff.
Bought stuff that was on sale.
There's a few things I am picky about.
Ingredients such as the tomatoes.
But that's it.
Everything else was the least expensive stuff.
Take a guess.
Take a guess at what it costs.
And you're probably wrong.
$123.
Yeah.
$123.
I was going to say over $100 for sure.
For barely two nights of dinner.
Barely two nights.
I remember when I could spend about $120 and get groceries for a whole week.
And that was breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Not very long ago too.
For all of us.
And $123 is going to get me through the next two days.
I can't do this much longer.
Financially, I can't.
I don't want to spend the money, but it's also just killing me.
And I make decent money, so... Something's gotta give here.
tim pool
So, here's my question.
Why should this man...
Pay the bill for the criminal aliens who brought their kids to this country, and we say it's not the kids' fault they were six, seven years old.
And I respected that argument maybe eight years ago, but now we are no longer at the point of being capable of dealing with this.
And so this guy, he's American.
This country, he inherits, same as all of us.
He has children who will inherit it after him.
He's struggling to feed them, even though, as he says, I make good money, but it's 123 bucks for two nights of dinner.
And what happens is, these people rush our border and think, I will steal as much as I can from the hardworking Americans, I will gut their system and take for myself, because I don't care about them, I don't care about their community, I want.
So I am done with the argument that Oh, but these children here, they can't be deported because their parents are at fault.
No, Mike, you're right.
The child should blame their parents.
When ICE politely comes to them and says, I'm sorry, son, we are struggling.
We have fathers and mothers, and their children are struggling to eat.
I wish we could help you, but we are pushed to our limit.
What we're going to do is we're going to find you comfortable transportation back to your home country, and they're going to have to figure it out for you.
If you're mad about this, blame your parents.
libby emmons
Well, and blame your government for making a nation where you don't feel like you can survive comfortably and safely in your nation.
unidentified
Well, absolutely.
And it's not his kids' fault this is going on.
So if we were talking about the poor kids, what about his kids?
Where is dad struggling to feed them?
I mean, we have to think about American children.
libby emmons
Yeah, and this has been happening to everybody, and it's been happening for a few years.
I remember watching this happen with my own grocery bill.
Where it would be like, oh, I'd spend 50 bucks, I'd get a ton of stuff, and then the next time I'd spend 75 bucks, and so the next time I'd put a bunch of stuff back, and I'd end up spending 125 bucks for less stuff, less expensive stuff, like no buying meat.
tim pool
Here's what we should do.
I think we should do this here at Timcast, and maybe one of someone on the SCNR team, We will put together a basic grocery list.
One gallon of milk, one carton of eggs, one loaf of bread, and then what else would be reasonable there?
libby emmons
Like the Sesame Street one.
tim pool
Maybe like a small thing of peanut butter.
unidentified
Yeah.
ian crossland
Stick of butter.
libby emmons
Some veggies.
tim pool
A stick of butter.
libby emmons
Carton of milk.
tim pool
And maybe like a salad and a meat.
I think it's important to get... Some veggies.
Yeah.
And then what we'll do is, every week, we will write down the price of these goods.
libby emmons
Oh, like the government does that.
But they're not really doing it very accurately these days.
tim pool
So we will just say, here in our local area, we have this list and every week we go out and buy one of these items.
libby emmons
People on the Discord should do it.
Get like a mass reporting of all over the place.
unidentified
People should do it all over the country.
We could have a map.
That'd be cool.
ian crossland
You could do it with your app, with the Timcast app, if you could scan a thing and put it into the database.
unidentified
That'd be really cool.
libby emmons
That's a very good idea.
ian crossland
And update the data.
tim pool
No, no, an app where people can list the price of a good, then you can track down the cheaper prices.
ian crossland
That's got to exist, right?
Because if you scan the barcode, it would just overwrite the old data.
libby emmons
I don't know that it does for groceries.
unidentified
It does exist for like consumer items, like computers and stuff.
I know you can do that.
tim pool
I don't know about So if this does not exist, someone make it and you're rich.
An app where it shows you all the local grocery stores, and when you go to the grocery store, you can scan a price from the store and upload it up to the app.
Then other people who are at home can type in, I want milk, and see which one has the cheaper prices.
unidentified
I like it.
If it doesn't exist, it should.
You're right.
ian crossland
But you'd have to update it, because if they sold out... You'd have to have the data.
unidentified
It'd all be about the data.
ian crossland
And then a bunch of people went to get the cheap milk, but it was already sold out from the last three people.
tim pool
No, no, no.
It would say, milk, $1.99 as of.
Last update was this time.
unidentified
The grocery stalkers are going to be mad.
They're going to be like, oh my gosh.
tim pool
No, I think the grocery stores will use it and compete with each other.
unidentified
No, I mean the stalkers.
They're just going to be like, this is madness.
tim pool
Why would they care?
unidentified
Well, they have to restock everything when people come in.
Oh, sure, I guess.
tim pool
You'd end up with the supermarket saying, hey, how come we're not selling any milk?
It's like, well, because there's a grocery store a mile down that's selling it cheaper, and people are using this app.
Grocery stores would load the app, look at neighboring prices, and then lower theirs, and their staff, the manager of the grocery store, would be like, hey, we got carrots cheaper than they do.
unidentified
Why doesn't it happen with gas, though?
We already have apps like that, and they're not, like... This grocery app must exist.
I know, I must, right?
It exists for other things, like if you go to like Walmart and those types of things you're looking at.
libby emmons
Yeah, you can find your computer, your random whatever.
unidentified
You can scan that stuff and it'll show you, but I don't know about for basic goods and there's probably a reason why, but I can't think of it.
ian crossland
Apparently there's three of them.
There you go, see?
Flip with two Ps, apparently it's pretty good.
unidentified
Okay.
ian crossland
Grocery King, another one is number two and number three was Instacart.
libby emmons
Oh, Instacart.
I'd even really just like a map.
tim pool
Instacart shows neighboring supermarkets and compares their prices.
ian crossland
These are the three that came up about grocery store price comparison apps.
unidentified
Makes sense for their margins, I guess.
tim pool
There you go.
ian crossland
What did you say?
The last thing you said?
libby emmons
I'd want just even a map of the cost of everything and a chart showing how it's going up and down over time.
unidentified
I'd be interested in that.
Yeah, just like an inflation on basically.
libby emmons
Because you have, you keep having, you know, like the Washington Post and other outlets saying that inflation isn't even really happening,
or you had when Janet Yellen was saying that inflation was transitory,
and you have all of this spin about inflation and grocery prices, and meanwhile, we all know, right,
like the people who go to the grocery store and buy food for their kids and look at the prices,
you can see how much they're going up.
You can see that a carton of eggs is like eight bucks.
unidentified
They're right.
tim pool
It's salty when these elites say that.
At a certain point, if a default lib has not realized they're being lied to, there is no saving
libby emmons
them.
tim pool
Inflation is transitory.
I remember that.
That was years ago.
And it's not.
And it's gotten worse.
I love when they're like, inflation's cool.
I'm like, yes, but the prices are still up.
And then Biden goes, we know these companies are making the boxes smaller.
Knock it off!
It's like, dude, because it's inflation, they can't just stop doing that.
unidentified
He said that with gas, too.
He's like, well, why don't they just lower the price, then?
The gas station should just lower the price.
tim pool
And if you're dumb enough to be like, yeah, Biden's right, well, there's no helping you.
unidentified
There's no helping a lot of people, sadly.
libby emmons
That's sort of the issue that we're facing in this exceedingly long general election.
Is there anyone who could conceivably be swayed from one side to the other?
Whose votes are they really fighting over?
Or is it really just fighting over how many people, or how many votes, how many people each candidate can get out to go to the polls?
unidentified
It's voter turnout, yeah.
libby emmons
And it's gotta be voter turnout in what, five states?
It's literally voter turnout in four states.
unidentified
And it's only in the ones that you have a chance to swing it.
tim pool
Lauren Chen asked a question, she did a Twitter poll.
It's a famous question, you probably already know it.
And the question is, if you did not eat breakfast yesterday, how would you feel?
And the choices are, I did eat breakfast, I don't know, hungry, and show results.
18% said I did eat breakfast, 13% said I don't know.
I think 20-something percent said hungry, and then a decent amount said show the results.
The point is, it's part of an IQ test question, because people who are of lower IQ would answer, I did eat breakfast.
And that shows that they could not entertain a hypothetical.
libby emmons
They couldn't handle the question.
tim pool
The problem I have with the question is I don't eat breakfast ever.
unidentified
Right, a lot of people don't.
tim pool
I understand the point of the question.
The answer is, you entertain the hypothetical.
My response would be, I don't eat breakfast.
unidentified
Yeah, it's not an option.
tim pool
I would feel the exact same.
But that answer is acceptable because the answer is, did you understand the hypothetical?
Lower IQ people don't understand the hypothetical and typically respond with, but I did eat breakfast.
You go right, but what if you didn't?
But I did eat breakfast.
libby emmons
So how could I possibly imagine something other than the reality that existed?
ian crossland
And then there's the super brain where they're like, I reject the premise of the question entirely.
unidentified
They just refuse to participate.
ian crossland
When the brain is fully lit up, they're like, not only can I entertain it, I can also choose to not answer the entertainment because I disagree with the question itself.
tim pool
Actually, that's the midwit response.
ian crossland
I don't think so.
unidentified
It is.
ian crossland
It takes a strong mind to be able to not answer a question the way it's presented to them.
tim pool
That's actually the midwit response.
I'm not making a joke and I'm not being insulting.
I'm not being silly.
People of slightly above average intelligence think deconstruction is a sign of intelligence, but it's not.
So, actually what you'll see with people who are lower intelligence is they can't entertain the hypothetical.
Average to slightly above the midwits will be like hmm well actually let me say this about your question and then smart people Instantly understand they don't waste time they say hungry Oh, well, I'm saying if I scrolled and I saw, if you murdered a person yesterday morning, how would you feel?
ian crossland
I would just scroll right past it, because I'm third level.
I don't even entertain.
We're not talking about that.
I see it, I visualise it, and then I move on.
That's not what we're talking about.
libby emmons
But if you didn't eat breakfast yesterday, like, why would you be hungry?
Did you also not eat lunch or dinner?
tim pool
Well, the point of the question is, your answer isn't multiple choice in real life.
It's, do you understand the hypothetical?
libby emmons
Yes.
tim pool
So, my response to that is like, well, I don't eat breakfast, so I'd feel the same.
But you're answering the hypothetical.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
I would feel the same as I always do.
Versus, uh, the midwits tend, like, this is what we see often with woke people.
They're midwits.
Midwit does not mean stupid, it means their IQ is about, no, it means their IQ is 110.
They're slightly above average, and because they're slightly smarter, they think of themselves very highly, but they're actually not that smart.
So, when it comes to a simple question, a smart person says, efficient answer, what's the point?
A stupid person says, I don't understand, and a midwit gives you a long, elaborate waste of time.
It's kind of like leftist memes.
Verbose, full of text, and pointless.
libby emmons
Those are amazing.
They take forever.
tim pool
You have very, very intelligent people who are like, I get the joke.
Like, I don't know what you want me to say, why am I wasting anyone's time?
They're smart enough to realize, like, I get it.
You know, and I'm sure everybody has dealt to a certain degree with this, where you're talking to someone who thinks they're really smart, and they will, no matter how many times you go, I get it, I get it, I get it, they just keep saying it over and over again, because they think... Trans women are women.
They think they're smarter than you, and they'll say something, and you go, I understand what you're saying, I reject your argument on these grounds, and they'll go, no, you don't get it.
You see, the thing is, you're like, right.
unidentified
No, I get it.
tim pool
Right, that's what we're dealing with.
unidentified
Talking to an average leftist, yeah.
tim pool
So I think I'd be willing to bet that the average IQ, not that I weigh IQ all that much because it's hard to know exactly how they're administered, but I bet if there was a universal metric that was like a standardized, let's say IQ, Democrat voters probably skew slightly lower than conservative Republican voters.
But not by much.
It's probably like 99 to like 101 or something.
However, I'd be willing to bet that if you got into the core
of prominent personalities on the right versus the left, because the right includes academics,
it includes post-liberals, libertarians, you'd probably see higher intelligence, reasoning,
comprehension, spatial math, et cetera.
And among the leftist personalities, they'd be midwits.
They would not be stupid, but they'd be lying.
unidentified
LESLIE KENDRICK What do you think about?
What about voters versus non-voters or, you know, main party voters like Republicans, Democrats
tim pool
I don't think you'd see a distinction.
There's a lot of really stupid people who are, you know, just like, I'll vote.
And there's a lot of smart people who are like, I don't see a point in voting.
Your view on whether or not to participate in a first-past-the-post electoral system I don't think is indicative of how smart you are.
Dave Smith was saying the other day that he thinks the system is busted, and he's a very smart guy.
unidentified
I was thinking non-voters would be actually a little bit smarter.
ian crossland
I do too.
I think that if you're obsessed about your one vote, then you're missing the point.
You gotta manipulate crowds of people to vote the way you want.
unidentified
I remember there were posters like up when I went to school at UC Santa Cruz, very leftist place, but there were these posters that somebody posted everywhere and it was like arguing, don't vote.
It was like, don't vote.
It's pointless.
And they were like, they posted it like everywhere.
And I was like, that's interesting.
I didn't really think about it much because I was a dumb college kid.
libby emmons
The sort of thing about not voting is like, you know, Not voting is saying that you are not going to, you know, show your consent to a governmental system that you don't agree with.
unidentified
Maybe, there could be so many reasons to not vote, you could just be lazy, but if you have a real reason.
libby emmons
Sure, but then the whole thing with like, get out the vote, you remember when Voter die.
unidentified
How about that?
libby emmons
You know, there was like Paris Hilton was get out the vote and all of this stuff.
So you end up with this get out the vote situation and you end up with a lot of low information voters who go out and don't necessarily know anything about the candidates that they're voting for.
tim pool
We need to make it as hard as possible to vote.
libby emmons
I think there should probably be voter ID.
I didn't used to think that, but I do think that now.
unidentified
Maybe like a basic test.
tim pool
No, there should be voter poll vault.
unidentified
Yeah, if you can't get over at least, I don't know, five feet.
ian crossland
You can only vote, but you gotta swim to the bottom of the pool.
unidentified
And then you gotta vote while you're down there.
libby emmons
You gotta pick up your ballot down there, like that's where the pen is.
ian crossland
And then you gotta climb the rope to the top of the treehouse.
tim pool
No, no, no, your ballot is 100 meters underwater.
ian crossland
But the pen is up in the tree, so then you gotta get the ballot and then you only have 30 minutes.
tim pool
It's an American Ninja Warrior course.
ian crossland
We're led by geniuses.
unidentified
How many genders are there?
tim pool
The pen is taped to the side of the spider wall, so you're like, going through and then you grab the pen, and then you find the pad of paper, but you gotta swing to the top to get it, you gotta do the salmon ladder to actually put it in the box, and then to hit submit, you've gotta make it to the end.
ian crossland
And then you hit the big red button, and it submits your vote.
tim pool
There would be like, I don't know, 10,000 voters.
unidentified
10 people voting in.
That's it.
A bunch of people would die and they'd be like, 50 people died voting today.
ian crossland
Would you call them, like, registered?
People would register to vote, but then it was up to them if they could succeed?
tim pool
That they registered for the course?
I got a better idea.
It's not American Ninja Warrior.
It's MXC.
Remember that?
ian crossland
No.
libby emmons
No, what's MXC?
tim pool
It was this really silly version where people would dress up like samurais or like hot dogs.
ian crossland
Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.
tim pool
Is that what it was?
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
And it was like people dress up in weird things and like try to run across It was 2003 to 2007.
ian crossland
Got it.
tim pool
Slippery stairs.
ian crossland
Spike TV, that was a good year.
tim pool
Slippery stairs.
libby emmons
To get up to vote?
tim pool
Yeah, so it's a set of stairs.
unidentified
All people are out of all these ideas.
tim pool
And they're drenched in oil, and you're wearing a suit, and you have to climb to the top to submit your vote.
ian crossland
What if you can only vote while you're sleeping if you can realize you're dreaming?
So it's only people that are able to tap into their lucid state.
unidentified
Oh, lucid dream?
Okay.
Only lucid dreamers can vote.
libby emmons
I think we'd end up with a really weird electorate at that point.
A nation of weirdness.
ian crossland
Yeah, we need that right now.
unidentified
It'd be pretty fun.
ian crossland
Some deep thinkers.
tim pool
The harder it is to vote, the better off we are.
Not in the terms of, like, making people do American Ninja Warrior.
libby emmons
You know what else you have, though, is you have a lot of stupid people who are poll workers.
Have you ever seen this?
I was trying to vote at one point in New York on Lower East Side and I go in and I'm waiting in line and the people in front of me, you don't need a voter ID in New York.
That's just part of it.
You don't even need to read or write to vote in New York.
You can sign your name with an X if you have to.
So that's just a law. So there was these ladies in front of me and the poll workers were preventing them from voting.
They were like, you need to show your ID.
And ladies were like, speaking Spanish, we don't need to show our ID and all this stuff.
And they were arguing and they started turning the ladies away.
And I was like, you guys, they don't need ID to vote.
What are you doing? How many people are you demanding ID from to vote?
Who are you? You know, who are you?
These were not conservative women who were turning the Spanish women away.
They were literally just stupid and they didn't know how to do their job.
They had been poorly trained.
They had no idea what was going on.
It was sort of shocking to see how poorly trained the poll workers are at so many levels.
That's why I don't always believe in conspiracies because at so many levels it's just straight up incompetence.
Layers and layers of incompetence.
Like Biden's stupid social media person.
I figured it out.
tim pool
Anyone can vote, but your ballot is on a pedestal and it's in a room with like 15 dogs.
libby emmons
You know what it is?
It's at the center of the labyrinth and you have to fight the minotaur.
tim pool
Because if the dogs accept you, you must be a good person.
unidentified
Are they all the same breed?
libby emmons
So dogs decide who gets to vote.
tim pool
What kind of dogs?
All different kinds.
libby emmons
What kind of dogs?
tim pool
All different kinds.
Are you allowed to bring a treat?
libby emmons
You're allowed to bring a steak.
You have to give at least three a belly rub successfully without getting clawed.
unidentified
local will deploy the National Guard to search voters for stakes. You have to
tim pool
successfully give, there's ten cats, and you have to give at least three a belly
rub successfully without getting clawed. And if you do, without getting scratched,
ian crossland
then we'll trust you with the military codes. Then you can vote. Show some compassion, you animal.
tim pool
And then everyone gets to watch to make sure.
And the cats are all lying there with their paws up because everybody knows you go for the belly and they start going at you.
libby emmons
They sure do.
tim pool
But if you're careful and the cats like you, they'll, you know.
unidentified
That's tough.
That might be like running for president is the cat challenge.
Maybe the dog one is for voting, and then to represent the president, you gotta do the cats.
tim pool
In front of a crowd of like 10,000 people.
libby emmons
On the debate stage.
ian crossland
Did you guys ever watch Stan Lee's Superhumans?
Stan Lee, the guy from Marvel Comics?
tim pool
Yeah, and there was a guy who could give cats belly rubs.
ian crossland
Yeah, he would go around and find these humans on Earth that had like bizarre powers.
It's all on the internet.
It's this show, Stan Lee's Superhumans.
One dude like magnetically put like a pot to his head.
One guy could put animals to sleep.
Like he would walk into a field and start waving his hand like this.
And then all the animals, one by one, start to lay down.
unidentified
That's Reiki, actually.
ian crossland
And the farmers are like, we've never seen this before.
unidentified
That's called Reiki.
I've seen people do that.
ian crossland
He's doing this zen treatment.
libby emmons
Reiki is wacky.
You know what I think he was doing?
tim pool
I think he was gassing them.
ian crossland
You gotta check it out, it's so wild.
One by one, they lay down.
unidentified
He was drugging them?
tim pool
You ever see The Great Randy?
Sir, do you know who that is?
The Great Randy, or whatever I think his name was?
He would debunk these people who claim they had magic powers.
serge du preez
Oh, was it on British TV?
I don't know.
tim pool
There was a guy who claimed he had telekinesis and he could move a phone book page with his hand.
He was just blowing on it.
ian crossland
Really?
unidentified
Can he do anything else?
tim pool
I think his name was The Great Randy.
He's like, I'm gonna put styrofoam packing peanuts around the phone book.
And if you really are moving the page, these won't move at all.
But if you're blowing on it, they'll all move.
And then it's like, I can't do it now.
And I'm like, that's really dumb.
Because if I was just blowing on it carefully, I would be like, that's not how energy works.
Energy will move everything around it the same as what do you mean?
And then I would do it and they'd move and I'd be like, that doesn't prove anything.
Although, honestly, blowing on a phone book page to make it spin or to turn is really dumb.
unidentified
It's the old Canadian guy, I guess.
tim pool
Well, aside from, I think we're good on our wacky ways to have civic engagement, let's talk about this story.
From NBC News, Governor Kathy Hochul sending National Guard members to New York City subways to combat ongoing crime.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, problem, reaction, solution.
The Democrats, all about their bail reform, let criminals run rampant on the street.
Then, when everyone freaks out because crime is through the roof, they bring in the military, and everyone's supposed to smile and accept it.
This is how you get martial law.
libby emmons
They created this chaos in New York City.
They did this on purpose.
You have, you know, subway workers getting slashed in the neck.
You have people getting pushed into, you know, subway tracks.
You have people, you know, raping women on subway platforms.
All of this madness.
People getting shot on subway platforms in the Bronx, all over the place.
Total destruction.
And so what they do now to fix the problem that they created is they violate your rights even more than they already did by destroying the safety of the city.
I've had situations where, because they did this bag check thing a while back in New York when I was living there, and I've walked into the subway and had cops be there and be like, we're going to check your bag.
And I'd be like, okay, well, I'm leaving.
I don't even have anything in my bag, but I just can't do it.
And so I'll leave and they'll be like, well, you know, now we think you're suspicious.
And I'm like, you don't have, I don't have to take the subway.
It's my right to walk 100 blocks instead of taking the subway.
And I would rather do that than have you look at the crap in my bag, which is like what there's like nothing in there.
So, yeah, it's very offensive to have your stuff searched.
tim pool
750 National Guardsmen.
libby emmons
There's absolutely no reason for this at all.
Did you see, also, the other thing they did in New York is they came up with these, like, surveillance robots, and they put the surveillance robots, millions of dollars, surveillance robots for a trial program, and they just carefully, at the end of the trial program, realized that it was a totally garbage idea that was ineffective entirely, and took the million-dollar robots out of the subway system.
Everything they're doing, the city was perfect, And they destroyed it, little bit at a time, over the past five years.
They just completely, systemically ruined the most wonderful city on the face of the earth, on purpose, so that now they can do what you were saying, they can institute martial law.
They did this after 9-11, too.
There were guys just, I mean, you were there, right?
tim pool
No, I wasn't.
libby emmons
No, weren't you at Occupy?
That was like ten years later.
That was ten years later.
unidentified
This reminds me of post-9-11, though.
libby emmons
They had military guys out there on the corners with giant rifles.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
libby emmons
And it was terrifying.
ian crossland
I worked down there at Ground Zero.
unidentified
Right!
ian crossland
They were just dudes in fatigues.
unidentified
Yeah, it was everywhere.
It reminds me of post-9-11.
You go to the airport, it's just full of military.
You're like, what is happening, you know?
And you just feel like you're at war constantly.
And that's how they, I mean, I guess they want people to feel like they're in fear.
I don't know.
I mean, who wants to live in New York this way, though?
tim pool
This is the entry-level martial law.
People need to understand.
History is condensed.
Martial Law is not going to be Kathy Hochul coming out with a gavel or with an iron gauntlet and banging on the table and being like, THE MILITARY RULES YOU NOW!
HA!
It's gonna be, for your safety, because of the crime, we are bringing in the National Guard to keep you safe.
libby emmons
That's how she phrased it this morning when she talked about it.
tim pool
And then a month from now, she's gonna say, the widespread success we've seen in the subway has many people asking for an expansion of our National Guard program.
750 additional guardsmen will be added to certain street corners in the city.
And then a year later, your police have been replaced by National Guard.
ian crossland
Or robots.
libby emmons
Basically.
tim pool
National Guard driving the robots in mech suits.
unidentified
Do what they need to do.
tim pool
No, no, no.
Because if they allow the National Guardsmen to pilot the mech suits, the recruitment numbers would skyrocket.
ian crossland
Especially if they drone pilot them and they didn't have to go into combat.
They could just be in a building.
unidentified
Yeah, you're in a warehouse somewhere just playing a video game.
tim pool
Nope, nope, nope.
If they said, you can remote control a robot, some people would be like, sure, I guess.
If they said, enlist and we'll give you an Iron Man suit, boom!
ian crossland
And it does have a jetpack.
unidentified
A jetpack.
ian crossland
Both stabilizers on the back and on the feet.
What they need to do is plexiglass these subways, all of them, in New York right now, and every other metropolitan city in the United States, and you start plexiglassing your subways.
tim pool
That costs money.
ian crossland
Yes it does, and so does having National Guard stand by, and it's gonna cost a lot more in human sacrifice to make these people stand there and push and pull at other humans.
You need plexiglass.
DC does it at the airport.
We've done this ourselves.
This is the same crap.
unidentified
Explain what you mean.
What do you mean?
ian crossland
You need plexiglass walls so you can't fall into the subway track.
They have plexiglass walls all along except for where the doors open.
They're plexiglass doors that open.
unidentified
And how does that stop people getting robbed?
ian crossland
It stops people from getting pushed onto the tracks.
That's basically what that would stop.
tim pool
You know what I'm realizing?
unidentified
That's like a cool way to commit suicide.
Just kidding.
In a video game.
tim pool
What I'm realizing is that what they're doing as Democrats in New York would be really great for someone who runs a business, when you're trying to implement policies.
You know what I mean?
Like, they get rid of the police, allow crime to run rampant, and then when everyone complains, they go super heavy-handed and bring in national guards.
I gotta utilize this strategy here at TimCast sometimes.
ian crossland
Dude, it's the most basic.
This is what they're doing with the illegal immigration.
If they really want mass deportations, dude, you're gonna see guardsmen on your lawn, being like, having the authority to walk into your, like, That's a slow creep.
And I feel like I'm like, hello, everyone.
This is a here's a blueprint of your demise.
Avoid it.
And people are like, dude, this is so odd.
tim pool
Yeah, get mad, honestly.
So listen, as our earlier superchatter already pointed out, there is a way to deal with the
immigration crisis that doesn't involve deploying National Guard and massive expansion of government,
and that would be just make it a criminal offense to—it already is illegal to employ.
libby emmons
You can fill out I-9 forms.
tim pool
Right, right, but it's like a civil violation.
It's like you get fined.
Make it jail time and it stops.
libby emmons
And you only get fined if they come check your I-9 forms.
Because all you have to do is have your I-9 forms on file.
tim pool
But I do agree with Ian.
If Trump comes out and says, I will be invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military to begin the process of mass deportation, I would have very serious concerns about that.
And my first demand is, I wouldn't say no to it.
I would say, we need strong civilian oversight.
That can override this in the event of a certain number of grievances very, very quickly.
We do need to deport.
I don't think it's a bad idea to utilize the law enforcement capabilities we have.
I don't think, I don't know if you can use, under posse comitatus, army for this unless Trump invoked the Insurrection Act.
National Guard could theoretically be utilized for it, but I think you would need civilian oversight to a very, very high degree if something like that were to happen.
ian crossland
Yeah man, I was listening to Bret Weinstein, one of my favorite people.
unidentified
Yes, I love Bret.
ian crossland
Watch Bret Weinstein.
He's like becoming more and more convinced.
He's from the Northwest?
libby emmons
Yeah.
ian crossland
It seems like he's becoming more and more convinced that there is a transnational organization or disorganization, but there's groups of people that are multinational that are overseeing this weirdness.
Like why is there a mass open-ended immigration into the country when they need soldiers and a reason to crack down on the population, like why did they
put the Patriot Act into place? Why are they now turning their international spying on domestic spying
as feared? Like why is this all happening? I bring it up not to make a point, not to say
this is what's happening, but people like Brett, just basic evolutionary biologists, are like, yo bro,
this is just bigger than countries.
You look at the map, and I said it earlier, just because the lines of Germany look like where they're at doesn't mean that that's where German influence begins and ends.
And the corporations don't have borders.
We don't see the influence of these things, although we know they're there.
And I, okay, I'll tell you what I think.
I think it's intent.
I think that is, we are literally being stripped and sold out into some new corporate global governance.
And it is fucking terrifying.
I don't know how to preserve.
libby emmons
Yeah.
And we're, I mean, I feel very strongly that as Americans, we are absolutely not beholden to any law outside of our borders.
I mean, unless we're like in those places, but international law, I feel like we should not submit to that ever.
ian crossland
The law of man, the law of nature, hunger, we're susceptible to the law of nature.
libby emmons
But I'm talking about like manmade law.
ian crossland
Right, but if the law of money, if we're stripped of our economic prowess by these external forces because we don't play rules by them, then we're left to like, at least maybe Congress could create our own money for us or something, as it's really what it's supposed to have done from the beginning.
libby emmons
Don't we have that?
ian crossland
It's supposed to be, but they gave it to the Federal Reserve in 1913.
unidentified
Some private companies have been doing it for us.
ian crossland
I don't normally talk this long on this show because politics isn't really my thing, but I'm really at a loss.
libby emmons
How would you react if they wanted to search your bag on the subway?
ian crossland
I'd show it to them and walk off.
libby emmons
You'd just show it to them and get on the subway?
unidentified
I don't think I'd go on the subway.
I would just avoid it.
tim pool
No, I've been there done that.
libby emmons
I've walked so many extra blocks.
unidentified
They searched me.
Okay, post 9-11, I was 19.
Yeah, 18-19.
And that whole year, I was on some kind of list.
Kim Iverson said the same thing to me.
We were both on some sort of list where we got searched three times every time we flew.
And I was flying all the time.
And it was only from LA to Vegas.
Those are my flights.
That's like a 45-minute-an-hour flight.
tim pool
Did you fly the, uh, there's a company that does private jets, but they're commercial and super cheap, and they fly on the West Coast.
unidentified
I forgot what it's called.
I know, this was 2001, so, and I was 18, 19.
Oh, okay, that was a very long time ago.
But no, I got searched three times, so you get, when I get checked in, go through everything, like, go through my underwear, no, I'm kidding, go through security, got searched again.
Before I get on the plane, they'd bring, like, five people aside, and they'd search everyone, and I'd ask them, like, you're on this list?
Yeah, I'm on this list.
I'm like, okay.
I'm like, I'm a teenager.
No, nobody knows.
I mean, it's just random.
They said they kept saying random.
I would ask.
libby emmons
I had a friend and her name was Ali, but it was spelled A-L-I.
And she was on like all of these do not fly type of lists.
She was constantly getting flagged for everything.
And she was like, it's literally just, it's literally, I'm just this girl from North Carolina.
unidentified
My name's Heidi Brionis.
I don't think that sounds right.
ian crossland
Ali?
No, it's Allie.
unidentified
Get it straight.
libby emmons
It's just Allie, like Allison, except my parents were lazy and just named me Allie.
ian crossland
I've been getting flight fatigue, travel fatigue, security fatigue from all having to take my shoes off, go through, take my jacket off, take my fanny pack off.
unidentified
I start getting angry.
Do you get angry?
I get mad sometimes.
ian crossland
Frustrated.
unidentified
They start yelling at you, and they're like, go faster, and you're like, shh.
ian crossland
And now I'm seeing these big machines that scan it all for you.
They're like, you don't even have to take your laptop out.
We're just going to scan everything that you've got going on.
I'm like, good.
In my mind, I'm like, thankful that I don't have to take my shoes off.
unidentified
But in reality, it's got me begging for my own... You guys, you got it all right.
tim pool
It's easy, okay?
You don't have to do any of that.
All you have to do is register with the government and go in for a screening, and then you never have to do that again.
Isn't it much easier just to... Get your real ID?
unidentified
Is that what it is?
tim pool
No, I got TSA Pre.
unidentified
TSA Pre.
tim pool
And now they have, they introduced Clear several years ago.
libby emmons
Is that better?
Do you have that too?
tim pool
No, it is the biggest, I got rid of it right.
ian crossland
Is it where they scan your eyeballs?
tim pool
Clear is a biometric, so when I did it, when they first launched, they said, with Clear, you go right to the front of the line.
And what I thought they were saying is, TSA Pre is great.
You go in for a screening, you file the paperwork, and then whenever you do security, you're gonna take your shoes off, you're gonna take your laptop out, it's a shorter line, because we know who you are.
I said, okay, I'll do that.
When Clear came out, I was like, oh, this must be one better.
Where if you use your biometrics, you get to walk right in.
They're not worried about you.
Wrong.
Clear is literally you just paying extra money to cut in front of other people.
But that only really matters, like, so, I go to the airport, and I'm traveling, and there's a huge line, and the people who are selling clear are like, if you had clear, you'd be in the front of the line.
I thought they were saying they walk you, they escort you through security, like, they do a quick screening, and they walk you right in, you gotta wait, you don't gotta do anything.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
So I signed up, it was like 200 bucks, scanned my hand, and I was like, okay, now what?
And they're like, come with me.
They walked up an empty line.
unidentified
Separate line, yeah.
tim pool
No, no, there was nobody in line!
And they're like, there you go.
And I'm like, what just happened?
And they were like, now you can go in.
And I was like, but I could have always just gone in.
And so I just cancelled right away.
I was like, okay.
What it does is, if TSA Pre has a huge line, Or the regular security line, they personally escort you to the front of the line.
That's it.
You're paying for that.
That's it.
And you got to give them your hand scan.
ian crossland
200 bucks a year?
tim pool
Here's a thing, though.
It's something like that.
I didn't care about giving my hand biometrics because the federal government already has it.
I worked for O'Hare Airport.
ian crossland
Fingerprints.
I worked at O'Hare.
tim pool
So they already have my full handprints.
The way you would check in at work is they had a box and you put your hand on it.
It scanned your hand.
And this was back in 2000.
What was this, 2004?
Yeah, 2004, 2005, 2006.
So that's been there forever.
The funny thing about the airport though, I'll give a shout out, it's been 20 years, so maybe they fixed it.
But they would tell us, you have to go through security every time you come in.
If you drive into O'Hare to work, there's no security.
You pull up to a checkpoint, you hand them your ID, they scan it, you go on in.
If you have contraband in your car, they don't check for it.
ian crossland
Ever.
tim pool
You then get on an employee bus that brings you to the terminal that you're going to, and you walk in and you're in.
ian crossland
Sounds like the White House.
tim pool
So, here's the other thing.
They say, but you have to go through security.
ian crossland
That's where they found the white powder.
tim pool
So if you take the train in, you have to go through TSA security, same as everybody else.
Here's the best part.
The bag room has a door.
A regular door that goes from the public area, where there's no security screening, and the secure area where all the bags are.
You can literally just swipe your card at the door and open it, walk in.
And I asked about this, I was like, you say I gotta go to security, but I'm working bagroom tomorrow morning.
Can't I just go to the door and swipe my ID card and walk in?
And they go, You're not supposed to do that.
And I'm like, but I'm working in that room.
You want me to go up, go to the security, go all the way down and around, then walk back two inches from where I was just standing?
And here's the other thing.
The bag room?
Where the bags come out in O'Hare, it's like a doggie door.
A human being can literally just walk through the hole.
ian crossland
Yeah, I thought about that.
tim pool
I was like, whatever, I think the security's all a big lie.
ian crossland
Also, people can walk out with your bags.
Every time I get off the plane, I'm like... Easily.
unidentified
They don't do the checking anymore.
Remember when they used to check your little tag?
libby emmons
They used to check your little tag.
tim pool
Anybody, like even a bald government employee, a bald guy who works for Joe Biden, A guy who works for Joe Biden can walk in and take your baggage and wear your clothes on TV.
And he could have lipstick on!
ian crossland
He could be wearing red lipstick even.
unidentified
He was taking women's clothes.
He would find someone well-dressed.
libby emmons
The baggage area is a public area.
You have illegal immigrants sleeping out in the airport.
ian crossland
Yes, you can walk in from outside into the baggage area, steal a bag and people can leave.
That is crazy.
unidentified
Our society is like 1900s society right now.
libby emmons
Did anyone else get fingerprinted when they were in elementary school and like your class took you on a field trip to the police office and everybody at the police station, everyone got fingerprinted?
ian crossland
We were at the mall and my mom took me.
Your mom took you?
I think we did it for some program with the school, but we did it at the mall.
libby emmons
My whole school got fingerprinted at the police station.
ian crossland
Dude, they're getting you.
tim pool
They're priming you.
libby emmons
I feel like we did that when I was in fifth grade or something.
tim pool
I know when I was a baby, we got our footprint.
libby emmons
Right, but that was to be cute.
unidentified
Yeah, that's cute.
Yeah, that's pretty cute.
tim pool
Well, no, that's like... No, no, this was... No, not that.
libby emmons
Oh, you mean like on your birth certificate?
They don't do that anymore.
tim pool
No, if I could.
libby emmons
I'll let you talk, sorry.
tim pool
Yeah, it's for security in the event a child was kidnapped.
They would take your footprint.
Put the baby foot on the ink and then put it on the paper.
unidentified
Okay.
ian crossland
I don't know if I ever got that.
libby emmons
I don't know if I got that either.
There's definitely not any of that on my birth certificate.
tim pool
This was back during the Stranger Danger scare.
When they were like, they're coming for our kids.
And they'd be on TV and they'd be like, it's 10pm.
ian crossland
Do you know where your children are?
unidentified
That was a good campaign.
It's not bad.
ian crossland
Don't talk to strangers.
unidentified
When the street lights go off, you gotta get home, right?
That kind of stuff was good.
We don't do that anymore.
Now they're like, whatever.
ian crossland
Yeah, we don't have like public service announcements anymore.
libby emmons
No, or just like cultural memes.
Well, where would they even be?
We're so dissociated.
tim pool
I feel like we haven't talked at all about Civil War, and it's been so long that I'm starting to get a... We should go for it.
unidentified
Are you getting antics?
ian crossland
Are you strangers?
tim pool
I'm about to burst in my skull.
We have this story from the Daily Mail.
Goodbye, America!
A quarter of U.S.
adults want their state to secede.
Texans, Californians, and New Yorkers are closest to the exit, but can you guess which state wants out the most?
Maine!
I think everyone here already knows, but chat, if you are listening, chat what you think.
Which state?
I mean, people can already see it, actually.
unidentified
Yeah, it's on there.
tim pool
Well, here you go.
ian crossland
It's Alaska.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
And I encourage Alaska to... I encourage any state to do what they want to do, but I gotta tell you, I don't think Alaska survives if they secede.
unidentified
Unless they become part of Canada.
tim pool
Or Russia.
ian crossland
No, I don't even... I don't think they would survive it, but they could try.
tim pool
If they became part of Russia or Canada, it's still gonna be dependent upon aid.
So I went to the town of Barrow, which has been renamed Utqiagvik, which is its actual original regional name.
unidentified
Okay, aboriginal name.
tim pool
And no!
unidentified
No?
tim pool
That's Australia.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Yeah, Alaska is Inuit.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Actually, I don't even know if it's Inuit.
I think it's something else.
Um, it actually is not Inuit.
It's something else.
libby emmons
Well, you're not allowed to, uh, you're not allowed to say Eskimo anymore, even though Eskimo is an Algonquin word that meant eaters of raw meat.
unidentified
I just like Aboriginal.
I just like the way it sounds.
libby emmons
That's, yeah.
tim pool
Inupiaq.
It is Inupiaq.
unidentified
Inupiaq.
libby emmons
Not Inuit.
That's a word I have never heard before.
tim pool
So, they just recently started daily flights in and out of Utqiagvik, and that's now how they're able to have a lot of food and resources.
It used to be that a gigantic ship would come around and they would celebrate the once a year dropping off of, like, refrigerators and washing machines.
And that still is somewhat the case, I'm told.
I've only been there one time.
But now that they have planes that come and go, a lot of the basic goods and smaller electronics just get brought in every day.
If Alaska was no longer part of the United States, they do not have the food to sustain a lot of the colonizers.
I'm being cute when I say that.
The Inupiaq people who live there are very good at eating fermented whale and things like that.
And I actually went to a museum Inupiaq Museum, it was really cool.
They dig, they burrow into the permafrost, which creates a permanent refrigerator freezer,
and they chop up the whale and throw the chunks in, and they eat it throughout the year.
It's pretty wild.
I think they were saying something like they need a whale every like month and a half, and that's their food.
It's like, you wake up, whale.
Lunch, whale.
Dinner, whale.
libby emmons
It's just whale all day.
tim pool
Whale all day.
libby emmons
What about veggies and stuff?
unidentified
There's no veggies up there.
tim pool
Yeah, I think it's all mud, but there's no trees.
I think the Arctic Circle has no trees.
In Barrow, there's no trees.
Now, okay, don't get me wrong, Anchorage...
There actually is in Alaska a massive growing season and so they end up having the biggest fruits imaginable.
So like a lot of the record fruit because they have that massive sunlight for a really long period of time in the summer.
They're heavily dependent on the United States for goods being shipped in.
They will figure it out.
I'm going to be wrong.
Alaska knows what they're doing, but I don't think their current levels could be sustained if they were to secede.
Anyway, more to the point.
Everybody wants their state to leave.
Do the math.
Someone's going to have to go through each state.
Calculate the amount of people in each state.
So, when it says 31% of Texas wants to secede, how many people live in Texas?
30 million?
What's the population?
unidentified
27?
tim pool
Let's do some math.
Texas population.
29.53 million.
So we're talking about 10 million people in Texas want to become their own country.
ian crossland
Well, how many people, this is a poll, how many people did they poll?
unidentified
All of them.
ian crossland
I'm sure they didn't poll every human.
tim pool
No, no, they did, yeah.
ian crossland
They'll tell you, because what you just did is you extrapolated that 31% up to the number, which is the mistake people make when they read polling data.
You've got to see how many people were polled if it was 10,000.
tim pool
It's at all of them.
ian crossland
Then you're going to have 3,000 people.
tim pool
Every single one.
ian crossland
So to make the claim you just made as a journalist is very disingenuous.
unidentified
Wrong.
ian crossland
Because 10 million people did not, I guarantee you, did not fill out that poll.
tim pool
Yeah, it's true.
ian crossland
Well, let's find out.
tim pool
No, I did.
There it is.
It says, Ian is wrong.
We did poll every person.
The point I'm making is like, come on, you're being obtuse, Ian.
ian crossland
Of course, I think I was refined and accurate.
tim pool
No, I think you're being obtuse.
We know that we're talking about an extrapolation of the population based on polling data.
ian crossland
Some people don't, though.
They just look at that number and they think it means 33% of the population.
tim pool
Too bad they're stupid, because the point I'm making... We gotta educate them.
Sure, the point I'm making has nothing to do with whether or not we're going to sit here and try and make determinations about polling data extrapolation.
My point is, you would have to take the population of each state You would have to then divide, figure out the percentage based on population, because 31% of Texas is not the same as 31% of New York.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
You then need to get the hard numbers based on their polling data to determine the total amount of people in this country who actually want to secede.
So if you want to determine how many people in the United States are in favor of their state seceding is a very different question from, if you are a resident of X state, do you want to secede?
unidentified
And why you want to secede, I think is more interesting.
Right.
I mean, because in California, they want to secede for completely different reasons than Texas and Alaska and New York and everywhere else.
I mean, I think it's more interesting to know why.
tim pool
31% of residents seek a texit.
21% of residents seek a Texit.
29% of California and 28% of New York.
libby emmons
New Yexit.
unidentified
Do you think California is because they're like, we're, you know, we want to be liberal
and progressive and we want to get rid of...
libby emmons
Califrexit?
unidentified
I don't know.
libby emmons
It sounds like a kind of wine.
tim pool
They call it CalExit.
unidentified
CalExit.
libby emmons
I like CalExit.
tim pool
But there is a CalExit movement.
We interviewed the guy.
Here's the issue.
29% of the state wants to secede?
Yes.
Probably half of them are liberal and half of them are conservative.
So they're not all in agreement with each other as to why you want to succeed.
unidentified
They have different reasons, yeah.
tim pool
And they hate each other.
unidentified
That'd be a fun state, or a fun country, I guess.
tim pool
I'm for it.
I think if states... I think this country was founded on the right to self-determination.
And so it should... Like, the Texas secession question should absolutely be on the ballot any time anyone wants to propose it.
And the people of Texas should be allowed to vote if they want to secede.
But it keeps... Like, you can't even ask the question.
Because the powers that be are like, no.
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, there's the Greater Idaho Movement, which is pretty interesting.
They basically just want to ditch the West Coast of Oregon and become part of Idaho.
tim pool
And then there's the state of Jefferson, which is Northern California.
unidentified
Yeah, there's that too.
libby emmons
The state of Jefferson, they want to secede.
tim pool
The rural parts of many of these states are proposing joining up to create a new state.
unidentified
Which makes a lot of sense in Oregon because Eastern Oregon is so much more like Idaho than Western Oregon.
tim pool
But why would Portland give up their slaves?
unidentified
Well, it's more like Salem.
Yeah, Salem wouldn't support it, but yeah.
tim pool
But this is why, so the hyper-progressives on the coasts know they control politics and they can take whatever they want from the farming rural folk in the East.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So that's...
unidentified
I think Portlanders might be like, yeah, sure.
But but Salem would be like, no, because of the actual exactly what you just said.
So a little more intelligent.
No.
You know what?
tim pool
But I assume the actual power power base of Oregon is Portland.
The wealthy individuals who are lobbying and controlling the system are in Portland.
unidentified
Yeah, but Salem would make the call because that's just where the state legislature is.
ian crossland
That's the capital, Salem?
tim pool
And my point is the people in Salem are beholden to the corporate interests of the major corporations.
ian crossland
They're right next to each other, Salem-Portland.
unidentified
Well, I mean, an hour.
ian crossland
It's all part of the same metropolitan area?
unidentified
No.
No, no, no.
It's considered a different area.
tim pool
If it's an hour apart, it's one metro.
unidentified
Well, it's considered a different area.
tim pool
Like they call it SeaTac.
You know what I mean?
ian crossland
Yeah, Seattle, Tacoma.
tim pool
Yeah.
It's funny because I've had people tell me that our operation is not in the DC Metro because we're based out of Western Maryland and West Virginia.
And I'm like, yeah, we're between an hour and 50 minutes from DC, so it's DC Metro.
And they're like, no, it's not.
You're a different state.
And I'm like, Yeah, the states are on top of each other.
In Chicago, you're closer to like Gary, Indiana or North Chicago, Indiana than you are to St.
Charles or Geneva, which are like an hour to an hour and a half drive.
unidentified
I don't know, my Uber driver didn't want to come out here last night.
tim pool
Well, we don't have Uber out here.
unidentified
It's very hard to get Uber.
ian crossland
Did they cancel on you multiple times waiting for an Uber?
unidentified
No, no, he did it.
He just groaned.
He just, like, looked and pulled it up.
You know how they pull it up where you're going?
ian crossland
Oh, he didn't look beforehand?
Yeah, he's like... Drivers accepted!
A driver is cancelled.
Drivers accepted!
A driver is cancelled.
tim pool
This is why we have three drivers.
And so we provide travel for all of our guests.
unidentified
Well, I got an Uber, so...
tim pool
Uber's don't exist out here.
And so we always get people who are like, I'll come by, I'll just get an Uber, I'm leaving.
Like, no, you won't.
Nope.
There's no such thing.
If you go to the casino, you'll get an Uber, though.
libby emmons
That's like the only place to get an Uber.
You can get an Uber to the casino and back, usually.
tim pool
It's kind of wild that, you know, I think it was The casino thing in this country is really recent, and most people, I think millennials aren't really cognizant of this, because I wasn't old enough to go to casinos.
And then by the time I was old enough, casinos had been legalized and were opening up everywhere.
So it's pretty wild to think that for a while it was Native American reservations.
As of like the late 70s and the 80s, it was Seminole in Florida that filed the lawsuit.
And then it was Morongo, I think in California, where it was, I think Seminole opened bingo halls.
And then the state came and arrested them.
And then they argued, we're sovereign, we're federally regulated, not state regulated.
And the federal government was like, yup.
Like the federal government jumped at the chance to seize power over the states.
libby emmons
They sure did.
And now... And it's like half of Oklahoma or something.
tim pool
Yeah, that's crazy.
And now you've got all these Native American casinos, but these are relatively new, but now we've got Maryland.
Maryland's got, holy crap, Maryland's got National Harbor, Horseshoe, it's got Rocky Gap.
What am I missing?
It's got Paraville.
I'm probably missing, there's four casinos in Maryland.
libby emmons
Are these state ones?
tim pool
State of Maryland casinos.
libby emmons
State of Maryland casinos, yeah.
tim pool
That's crazy.
libby emmons
I've only been over to National Harbor.
tim pool
Yep, that's Maryland.
It's in National Harbor, Maryland.
Then you've got Baltimore, then you've got Perryville, Maryland, and then you've got Rocky Gap, which is just outside of Cumberland.
Maryland went full steam.
libby emmons
The crazy thing is... New York's gonna get one in Manhattan.
tim pool
In Times Square.
A Caesar's.
In Times Square, so they're gonna... A Caesar's Times Square.
libby emmons
You know what they're gonna do?
That's like a reversal of Giuliani's cleaning up Times Square.
They're just like, you know what?
Let's make it nasty again.
unidentified
There's like a thousand National Guard in the subway.
libby emmons
You don't think there's going to be a lot more hookers and stuff in Times Square?
tim pool
Well, I think it'll turn into higher end.
libby emmons
Higher end hookers in Times Square.
Pull back some of that business from Queens.
tim pool
Look, National Harbor, it's crazy.
There's crime there, but everything is shinier.
libby emmons
It's shiny crime.
tim pool
It gets rid of the scuzz and replaces it with mafia-style stuff.
You're more likely to get laundering.
Apparently last year three guys were doing some scheme in the poker room where they were tapping to each other the cards they had so they could con out the other players.
That's the kind of crime you get.
libby emmons
And you get stabbings.
tim pool
But you get way more stabbings right now.
libby emmons
On the subway system in New York.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
I think putting a Caesars in Times Square is a culturally bad thing, but our culture is sick, so it's actually going to be a net improvement.
libby emmons
It might be, but it won't be a net improvement over what it was five years ago.
ian crossland
Five years ago.
Six years ago?
tim pool
Maybe ten?
After Giuliani cleaned everything up, it got real nice.
libby emmons
And then Bloomberg made it even nicer.
And then it went downhill under de Blasio.
De Blasio is an evil guy.
He is.
He's a very terrible, disgusting man.
ian crossland
Did he do it in with economics?
libby emmons
Yeah, he did that and he like, you know, there was a no cash bail all of a sudden and all of these ridiculous things.
And then COVID, of course, wiped out so much of the just foot traffic, which led to increased crime.
Bunch of empty storefronts.
unidentified
Yep.
Sounds like Portland.
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, it's fun.
So the rumor is, I'm pretty sure, let me look this up, Caesars Times Square.
unidentified
I hate it.
ian crossland
Did they legalize it in New York?
libby emmons
Yeah, they're putting Casino in New York, in the city.
unidentified
Whoa.
libby emmons
Which is kind of wacky.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
It just seems wacky.
13 block security operation, care of Bill Bratton.
unidentified
I just want that money.
Look at this.
Take a look at this.
libby emmons
Damn.
ian crossland
Big economic.
unidentified
They want that money.
They're like, how can we get more tourism?
libby emmons
Is that right on Broadway?
ian crossland
Yep.
tim pool
It's in Times Square on Broadway.
libby emmons
Is that like where the South Tower?
tim pool
No, wait.
unidentified
Bowtie.
The bowtie.
tim pool
Yep.
That's the South Tower right there.
There's the yep.
It's gonna be.
That's crazy.
libby emmons
Is there going to be shows at it?
Are they going to make a new Broadway theatre?
Because there's a limited number of Broadway theatres right now.
There's like, what, 28 Broadway theatres?
tim pool
I gotta be honest, I like it.
libby emmons
You like it?
tim pool
It's going to be, like, this massive economic expansion I think would be good for the city.
The problem is the city is run by crackpots who are trying to institute martial law.
That's the problem.
libby emmons
I would definitely go to it.
tim pool
Well, so here's what I was going to say is crazy is that before the opening of all these Maryland casinos, the West Virginia, Hollywood, the Charlestown races was the biggest casino in the East Coast.
And people, you want an Uber out here?
No problem.
Everyone was coming out here.
Their poker room had like 50 some odd tables.
You had millions of dollars pouring in and West Virginia, they were in the high heavens.
And then Maryland was like, why are we giving this business to West Virginia?
Let's open casinos on our own.
And now National Harbor is the highest grossing casino in the country.
libby emmons
And it's really pretty.
tim pool
Yeah, it's my... National Harbor is my least favorite casino, but my favorite poker room.
The poker room's fun, but the casino is... Look, man, I don't understand the world.
I really don't.
You go to National Harbor, and they will have a game like Ultimate Hold'em.
It's a table game for those with no casinos.
There are six positions.
You can sit down in each one of them, and then you place your bet, right?
So like, I'm gonna bet five bucks, and then you get cards, and if you win, woohoo, they give you five bucks.
You win five bucks.
So you go to a casino like Hollywood.
And they have $15 blackjack.
Every hand, your minimum is $15.
They have a $5 minimum if you use their app to play, to buy chips, $5.
Okay?
It's like, okay.
MGM, these games are like $200 a hand.
That's crazy. You sit down, and so like we were in DC and I was like, why don't we go stop there and see what's up?
And we went there, and like I was there with a handful of people from the company,
and we were like, it's $200 to play one table game one time.
Nobody wants to play, but they're packed.
And I'm like, who are these people?
Who are these people who show up and they're like, I got no problem playing 200 bucks.
We just played a clip on this show of a guy who was like, I can't afford to eat, it was $100.
Go to National Harbor, and you'll see some dude who looks like he makes 50K a year, and he's just got wads.
I sat down and there was a guy wearing like a button up shirt, and he had like 20 grand in front of him, and he was just playing the game, like putting hundreds down, and I was like, what do these people do for a living?
unidentified
Seriously.
ian crossland
I think that's on purpose.
tim pool
It's Capital City.
No, I don't believe that.
unidentified
No?
tim pool
Like, everyone makes this argument where it's like, oh, the reason you see that is because they're all on debt.
I'm like, dude, I watched a guy ACH 40 grand in Vegas.
They came out, they had a tray with a slip on it, and he filled the form, and then a guy came out with a case, and they handed him $40,000 in chips, and he put it down, and he was betting like $6,000 a roll on craps.
I'm like, that was an ACH transfer.
They do have credit windows.
I never see anybody with credit windows.
You know what I think it is?
I think it's Hunger Games.
Like, Ian was just saying wealth disparity.
ian crossland
It's so huge right now, and it's not shown enough in society.
tim pool
I think what you're seeing when you go to National Harbor is Capital City and the Hunger Games of all of the people who are just like, I have no problem betting a thousand dollars right now, why not?
While the rest of the country is like, I can't eat.
ian crossland
I think that there are a lot of very wealthy people that are not speaking up because they're just trying to milk it for everything, and I see where this Marxist Oppressors and oppressed comes from why the communism is building right now with this wealth disparity like people but it's they're not your enemies the system is busted Greed sucks, and I know when someone is greedy you might want to say they are the problem But it's the greed that's the problem not the human
Keep that in mind, because this cycle of, like, rich people get too rich, and then there's an overthrow, and then the rich people get too rich, and there's an overthrow.
We gotta stop that cycle right now.
We gotta do something new and cool.
tim pool
Check it out.
Coalition for a better Times Square.
What do you think they want?
unidentified
Money.
tim pool
They want a Caesars Casino.
I assumed when I saw the name they were going to be opposed to it, but it's like a vital plan, an opportunity of a lifetime for a world-class gaming and entertainment destination.
unidentified
Is this a non-profit?
tim pool
The need is clear.
libby emmons
They were going to put it in Hudson Yards.
I do think Times Square is probably a better spot than Hudson Yards.
tim pool
Yeah, Jay-Z's Rock Nation will help unify the heart of Times Square.
Here's the reality.
The first year, it will be a golden period.
It will be clean and pristine and exciting.
A year later, it's gonna be drugs.
unidentified
Well, you know it's Illuminati because Jay-Z is involved, so first of all, I mean... That proves it.
Talk about evidential proof.
libby emmons
Either that or they'll just let the rest of the city go even deeper into hell while they focus on this.
tim pool
I get mixed feelings about- Yeah, they're doing Broadway, look at this.
105 million new annual Broadway ticket sales.
ian crossland
Do you consider gambling debauchery?
libby emmons
They're projecting more ticket sales, but are they adding- Right, right, right, right, right.
tim pool
Yeah, good point.
They're saying people will come to the casino and buy tickets.
libby emmons
The Broadway coalition is really tight.
There's only a couple of theater owners.
There's like the Schubert's, Ju Jampson, who else?
And then there's like some of the some of the not-for-profits have Broadway theaters, which if you're a not-for-profit you obviously like you should not have a Broadway theater if you're a not-for-profit.
unidentified
I think that is just not reasonable.
These are the members of the coalition?
ian crossland
For the record, there's 41 Broadway theaters.
unidentified
41.
ian crossland
And then 40 of them are in use.
One is being rebuilt.
libby emmons
Who are the owners?
There's Schubert's, Jude Jepson.
unidentified
Corporations.
It's just who supports it.
So like, they're gonna make a lot of money.
libby emmons
I don't know.
unidentified
Oh, there's LGBT flag in there.
libby emmons
Well, it doesn't matter.
No one cares but me.
ian crossland
Look into it.
libby emmons
I'd like to find the date.
unidentified
No one cares.
All right.

ian crossland
Mine's a compliment.
tim pool
All right.
Tracer says, not first.
Tracer, you in fact were first.
You were incorrect.
Fray Cain says, sad to hear Rooster Teeth shut down today.
Was a big part of my high school years.
ian crossland
What is it?
tim pool
So it was like OG.
It was OG YouTube, man.
Red versus blue, stuff like that.
ian crossland
Oh, I remember that.
Red versus blue.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
What else did they have, Serge?
serge du preez
They had a bunch of like, my little brother, my little brother actually, I don't know, you know he doesn't watch the show, but he went to a bunch of, they did like game analysis stuff, like how to like actually do game design and everything, it was like a huge thing.
Sadly, they shut down.
Man, I wonder what happened, I don't know.
tim pool
They got bought out by Warner, I guess, is that what it was?
And then Warner's like, buh-bye!
It's funny because a lot of these companies that get bought out, they survive on their own, they're profitable.
They get bought out and then shuttered.
But probably what happens is the parent company strips the IP that has value and then gets rid of everything.
ian crossland
And keeps the staff maybe sometimes too.
tim pool
Not in this case.
serge du preez
It's like old school 80s takeover type stuff, you know?
tim pool
Let's grab some more super chats.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
says, Tim, I have the bestest best idea.
When Trump wins, we reallocate the $80 billion for the IRS and instead put it towards criminal alien deportations.
ian crossland
Rage!
tim pool
We'll just put Ian in charge of deportation.
ian crossland
It's funny, Raymond G. Stanley, I keep saying the word rage out loud.
unidentified
Don't worry, Raymond, I don't want you to rage.
tim pool
Mag says, with a supposed crash coming, should I invest in upgrading my home or save the money?
You know, you know what I've been seeing a lot?
A lot of articles talking about homeowner, home loan delinquencies are through the roof.
Like Canada's experiencing a massive surge, Texas.
And I'm just like, guys, I'm not giving you advice, but property value is going to implode in the next 20 years because property value makes no sense.
Baby boomers are trading properties among themselves.
And the millennials like to say that baby boomers are holding a disproportionate amount of wealth.
Well, most of their wealth is in real estate.
And the real estate value is based on what they're willing to sell to each other.
So they're hoarding real estate among each other.
But guess what happens?
Boomer is gonna die.
The 40-year-old, you know, child will inherit the house, be unable to afford anything else, but what's gonna happen is, kid lives in Chicago, mom dies in New York.
New York home is worth a million dollars, it goes up for sale.
The kid's like, yes, I just inherited a million dollars, wow, I can't believe it.
Sad their mom died, but like, you know, I inherited this, put it on the market, not a single other millennial is gonna be able to afford to buy it.
So then they're going to say lower the price.
Lower the price and it sells for half its price.
When millennials who don't have as much money become the dominant buyers in the market, the price will collapse.
That's it.
Ain't nobody else going to be buying and nobody else got the money.
Well, we'll see.
Could be wrong.
libby emmons
That's right.
That's why I live in my house.
unidentified
Yeah, I can't give you- I mean, investors typically buy up a lot of these homes.
So they'll- Yep.
You know, investors will have- Blackrock.
30, 40.
I mean, even just smaller investors, you know, even just one person that has a lot of money can buy, you know, as many homes as they want, right?
But that's not where they're living.
They're just renting it out.
tim pool
All right, let's grab some more.
Jacob Paradis says, I'm willing to bet there are tens of thousands of Republicans living in New York, Minnesota, and California that could just move 50 miles into a swing state and we dominate this election.
They did that.
That was 2020, the mass exodus.
And so the Democrats likely are bringing these illegal immigrants to bolster their congressional districts, preparing for the next six years.
Guys, six years is not a long time.
It's been eight years since Donald Trump won his first election.
Eight years.
We are just about eight years.
We're coming into another election.
Six years is going to go by in the blink of an eye, and we're all going to be like, I can't believe it's 2030 already.
The next census is here, and the Democrats are going to be like, look at all these people who live here.
unidentified
Right, but people are saying it's for this election, and it's like, no, it's for, like you just said, it's for six years from now.
tim pool
It's because this mass exodus through COVID weakened their total count, and now they're already saying that they're gonna lose, Democrat states will lose congressional seats and electoral votes because the population exodus.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
They're replacing the people who left.
It's funny because they're like, we are being replaced.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no.
libby emmons
That's messed up.
tim pool
The people who left New York are being replaced, so the census numbers stay stable.
unidentified
Right, right.
tim pool
Deeply evil.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
I think these Democrats are evil.
unidentified
They do plan ahead, though.
tim pool
Lieutenant Dan says, looking to move to West Virginia, where's a good town?
Martinsburg!
We were just there.
ian crossland
Very nice, actually.
tim pool
The plan is to make Martinsburg parallel economy capital.
unidentified
There's a program called Elevate, I think, have you heard of it?
To encourage tech workers, remote tech workers, to move to West Virginia.
It's actually pretty cool, you get like a basic income for a first year.
libby emmons
Really?
unidentified
Yeah, it's like funded by, I don't know, wealthy West Virginians that want to, you know, boost the population here.
I say we should gentrify West Virginia.
tim pool
We should get in touch with these guys.
We need people like Jack Posobiec to open a pizza restaurant, a family pizza restaurant, in Marnsburg, West Virginia.
libby emmons
That would be really good.
tim pool
To create the anti-Times Square, we need people like Terrence Williams, and we've briefly
talked about this, but I can't be the only one.
You know what, if nobody wants to do it, it doesn't happen.
That's it.
Maybe it's a pipe dream for me to say.
But my idea was that we're setting up Casper Coffee Shop, Social Club, and live shows once a month in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
unidentified
Cool.
tim pool
This whole downtown strip would be great if the vacant buildings were revitalized with new businesses like Papa Jack Pacific's Pizza Shack, or Cousin T's Diner, and things like that.
But it has to come from these personalities who want to have these parallel economy businesses.
I think it'd be great if Public Square opened a store that carried nothing but Public Square businesses.
So when you want to buy jerky, there's your shelf with all the jerky on it.
All your goods come from these companies.
It's just the challenge we face is I can't be the person who's gonna buy every building and start every business.
libby emmons
No, that would be too much.
That would be overkill, frankly.
tim pool
I go to people and say, let's do this, and they say, yes, let's do it.
You do it, and then we'll come.
And I'm like, well, I am doing it.
We have Casper Coffee.
Now I'm asking you to open a brick and mortar nearby as well, because it's going to be symbiotic.
When we do these events once a month and we bring people in, they'll shop at your place too.
It's good.
It's a win-win.
And it's great for the people who already live there.
And then it's just kind of like nobody's doing anything.
unidentified
Why do they not want to do it?
tim pool
Well, it's just, it's hard.
It's very difficult.
You know, it's easy for me to say we're not far away, but for people who are in the D.C.
area or Pittsburgh or Philly, I don't know.
We need people to do it.
Otherwise, it's going to be like we create some kind of corporation that then licenses everybody and we own it all.
But then it's just like Tim Pooles, Martinsburg.
It creates Times Square in a way I don't like.
ian crossland
That's what Tim Square, John Astor did.
tim pool
Where one corporation owns everything, but maybe that's what we have to do.
ian crossland
John Astor did that in New York, and they call it Astoria now.
They just named the area after him that he governed.
I don't know what he was doing.
unidentified
Astoria.
That's where Broad City girls lived.
Yep.
ian crossland
That show.
Yeah, I remember that show.
I was going to say it's awesome.
It was actually kind of funny.
tim pool
All right.
Here we go.
Titan Soap says, Hey, people, Titan Soap is now on Public Square.
You can help fight against ESG and other woke ideas by scrubbing yourself with our Appalachian pine tar or our fresh tea tree soap.
Ian loves soap.
ian crossland
I love tea tree as well.
Tea tree is the shit.
Anti-fungal.
unidentified
That's for Ian.
ian crossland
Yeah, it's really good for you.
Delight dosages and usages, of course.
tim pool
Shane Kena says, Jimmy Dore is definitely cracking the champagne tonight.
Why?
Because Cenk Uygur suspended his campaign?
I don't think that anybody actually took Cenk Uygur's campaign seriously and that he would win.
I don't think Cenk even did that.
I think he was trying to raise... I can respect why Cenk Uygur ran for president.
It was for one reason.
To warn Democrats Biden is awful and can't win.
And he is right.
Now, what he wants to do instead, I disagree with, But he's right.
Cenk Uygur was like, I'm begging Democrats to realize Biden can't win this.
And they don't care.
unidentified
They don't care.
ian crossland
It's kind of like he's like, we got to go in that direction over there.
And you're like, yeah, but I think the destination's there.
You guys are both pointing kind of in the same direction.
Whether or not we'll know more when we get closer, which which area is more accurate.
tim pool
Grofty says the like button is so lonely.
Befriend it.
It will help and make a difference too.
You know, on my way in for IRL, because I come in the morning to the studio to record, I go out and eat and stuff like that, Mr. Muttonchops was sleeping on the stairs outside of Chicken City.
So he's going to die.
Mr. Muttonchops is one of our roosters, and he's the only one that always escapes.
He just does not like being in there, so he jumps out.
And then I see him walking around the lawn and I'm like, a fox is gonna get you.
You will die.
And so periodically, we let him do his thing, let him have fun.
I'll look out the window and I'll see him and I'll laugh.
And then I'll go out and I'll shoo him back into the fenced off area.
So today it's dark out.
It's like 6.30 and I ride up on my bike and there he is sleeping just on the stairs outside.
And when chickens and roosters sleep, they're dazed.
They're just totally zonked out.
He's like, stop thwarting my plan!
So I walked up and then he just looks and he's totally dumbfounded and I just pick him up
and I put him back in the thing.
And then he's like, what did you have?
unidentified
He's like, stop thwarting my plan.
But he's lucky.
tim pool
So we butchered 17 roosters, 17.
And three were pardoned.
One because his name is Scar.
He's Roberto Beaks III's brother.
And Roberto Jr. who is the king, Roberto is King Regent.
Roberto Jr. his son took the throne.
And then Roberto Jr. had several children.
Roberto Jr. had a heart attack and died.
So, RB3 was named New King, and his brother has dark- he has golden feathers.
And his brother has all dark feathers and, like, black on him.
ian crossland
His name's Scar, what could go wrong?
unidentified
Well, I named him Scar because he's the- What do you mean if, like, the Lion King?
tim pool
Right, because RB3 was named King, and he's the brother who's darker colored but was not named King, and he looks angrier.
But the reason we didn't kill him is I was like, if something happens to RB3, then the lineage is broken.
So there has to be...
You know, a brother.
And it just so happens that he's, like, darker colored and it works out.
ian crossland
And they're not smart enough to poison each other.
tim pool
Let me just give a shout out to the parents of Scar and Mufasa, who looked down at their lion cub children and said, you will be Mufasa, the king.
And you're Scar!
Wow, you really laid the path out for that one.
ian crossland
What are you gonna do with the bird that keeps jumping out of the cage?
tim pool
Laugh.
ian crossland
Just watch him jump and jump forever until he jumps no more?
tim pool
We're gonna breed him.
He's got mutton chops.
ian crossland
The most pro-freedom of all the chickens.
unidentified
He's a libertarian.
tim pool
That's right.
unidentified
He's open borders.
tim pool
He's got mutton chops, because of the kind of chicken rooster he is.
So, like, down the side of his face, he has these, like, he has a beard.
He has mutton chops.
We call him Mr. Mutton Chop.
ian crossland
Burn Sides.
unidentified
He's definitely a libertarian.
ian crossland
Civil War General Burn Sides?
I don't know.
tim pool
The third rooster that got the pardon, it's because he's massively fluffy, and Kim calls him Pom Pom.
libby emmons
And so he's too cute.
tim pool
He's just this massively fluffy rooster who walks around.
And so she was like, we can't kill him.
ian crossland
It's that guy, Ambrose Burnside.
They named sideburns after this guy.
unidentified
He was a general.
libby emmons
And does he have?
unidentified
Huge!
ian crossland
Comes down and around like a beard.
unidentified
All right.
ian crossland
This guy was awesome.
tim pool
Let's grab some more.
Titan Soap says, Tim, since you first mentioned the thing about how Nikki doesn't move her jaw when she talks, it's all I think about when I see her speak.
Have you noticed that?
unidentified
Yeah, we were talking about it when we had the facelift and the Botox.
tim pool
No, she doesn't move her jaw.
So her teeth are locked.
And she talks like this with her teeth locked.
unidentified
Well, maybe that's from like so much stretching of like the skin from the facelift.
tim pool
No, but it's her jaw.
It's not her skin.
libby emmons
Maybe she had her jaw worked on.
tim pool
Her teeth don't move and people are like, teeth aren't supposed to.
No, it's because her jaw doesn't move.
libby emmons
Maybe she had her jaw wired shut at some point to prevent herself from eating or something.
unidentified
Yeah, but if your skin is too tight, you can't really, I mean, move your jaw, right?
ian crossland
Or she's got, like, neurological issues from so many lies being told over the years.
tim pool
Watch her speak, and you'll be like, how did she just say those words without opening her mouth?
unidentified
Ventriloquist.
tim pool
Yeah!
Her teeth stay like this, and she talks like this.
unidentified
She needs to have a puppet.
If she had a puppet, she might have gotten more votes.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
I don't know.
ian crossland
Maybe she's the puppet.
unidentified
Ah.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more.
Jacob Hawley says, Tim, look at new Wisconsin legislature map.
The Dems are crushing us over here.
Our Republican Party are inept rhinos.
We went from 67 to 33 seat majority in the House and 20 seat majority in Senate to one seat majority in both and both now partisan courts.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Republicans want to lose.
Look, I'll say it again.
We have had Republicans on this show, and I'll ask them, there was a J6 commission, why was there no 529 commission?
And they go, what's 529?
I was like, wow!
unidentified
The Republicans... Not important to you, huh?
tim pool
You know, here's the reality.
The Republican Party is like... The Democrats are the cool kids walking around kicking over garbage cans.
The Republicans are the stodgy dorks being like, I'm cool too!
Hey guys, look at me!
ian crossland
Let me pick up the trash can real quick though, guys.
Hold up.
tim pool
And then they're like... Trump comes in and he's like, hey, we're all kind of pissed off at how this thing's being run.
He's not a Republican.
The Republicans are desperate to be cool.
The Republicans desperately want Democrats to think they're cool.
unidentified
I hate that.
libby emmons
Because they never will think they're cool.
tim pool
No, they're being picked on.
unidentified
There's no point.
tim pool
Then Trump comes and says, I don't care about any of you.
We're going to make this our way.
libby emmons
And so everybody hates him because he doesn't care about the social order.
tim pool
All right.
Corto Maltese says, my last name is Briones.
I wonder if we're related.
Have any family in Rapid City, South Dakota?
unidentified
I do not.
tim pool
But you are related?
unidentified
Possibly, yeah.
tim pool
Well, if you have a last name, you're related.
libby emmons
Is that just the rule?
tim pool
It's a generality.
libby emmons
I met this guy at CBAC who had my same last name.
I never meet people with my same last name.
We were both waiting in line to get coffee, and I saw his name tag.
I was like, hey, we have the same last name.
And we tried to track it down, and we could not figure out where our family trees may converge.
tim pool
Sounds British.
So here's the thing.
Smith?
libby emmons
Probably not related.
tim pool
Because Smith is a reference to being a blacksmith.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
But there are certain names that are specific that have a single root, and it typically means, not typically, but often, that you might have to go back hundreds of years, but yeah, you come from the same place.
unidentified
I have thousands.
Briones is very popular in the Philippines, and so I get people reaching out to me and they're like, are we related?
Is it Spanish?
And I'm like, yeah, it's Spanish.
Yeah, wow.
tim pool
Briones.
ian crossland
There you go.
unidentified
I mean, it could be thousands of years back, but yeah.
Yep.
Possibly.
tim pool
All right.
Commies are not people, says... I have been calling Red... Actually, I want to make a point.
In the 1964 Civil Rights Act, they actually exempt communists from protections.
unidentified
Oh yeah?
tim pool
Really?
unidentified
Oh yeah, that's a big thing.
They have no rights.
ian crossland
But that's someone that has signed up for the Communist Party, basically.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
Communist affiliation.
unidentified
It's crazy.
Any affiliation, yeah.
libby emmons
What's the affiliation?
tim pool
Communism.
libby emmons
That's it.
Read it.
tim pool
If you are part of any organization that is communist, you do not have civil rights.
unidentified
Was it Revolutionary American Communists or whatever?
Yeah.
tim pool
Alright, they say, I've been calling red area DAs asking why they're not going after CPB considering them admitting to facilitating child trafficking, and they try and deflect.
Everyone start calling.
Yep.
It's kind of crazy to me that CBP is operating in what, basically every state.
They are admittedly facilitating child trafficking and not a single Republican wants to do anything about it.
It's because Republicans are basically like...
Like, Democrats are the dominatrixes, and the Republicans are the guy in the button-up going, oh, mistress, please!
That's Republicans.
ian crossland
We need people in politics that are willing to sit down for three hours every night and do a show like this.
Even if it's not recorded, like, talk like this.
What do they do?
unidentified
Akram Swamy would be the only one.
tim pool
They're fundraising.
ian crossland
That's so ridiculous.
What a mismanagement of time and authority.
Like we need those people running the government right now because we have it set up that they are the ones, the only ones that can.
unidentified
They go to fundraisers.
It's fun.
People pay like thousands of dollars to talk to them for 20 seconds.
It's amazing.
And they just stand there in line and talk to people for 20 seconds.
And they're like, yeah, I'll vote for that.
Move along next person.
tim pool
Please clap says service guarantees citizenship is the solution.
Yeah, but what does that mean?
That illegal immigrants can join the military and then we give them citizenship?
I like the idea that if you want to vote, you have to sign up for Selective Service.
And if you don't want to vote, you don't have to sign up for Selective Service.
libby emmons
I thought that was the rule.
I thought everybody had to sign up for Selective Service.
tim pool
Only men!
libby emmons
Oh yeah, no women don't have to.
tim pool
Yeah, women have no civic responsibility attached to their privileges.
libby emmons
No, but they're supposed to have babies.
tim pool
Yeah, well they're not doing that either.
libby emmons
They're not doing that either.
They're just killing them.
It's messed up.
tim pool
Weak men, okay?
It is weak men who at the turn of the century agreed women get the right to vote with no civic responsibility.
Okay, dude, I'm all for women voting, but civic responsibility is everyone's responsibility.
libby emmons
No, I like the civil.
tim pool
Simple answer.
Nobody has to sign up for selective service.
But if you don't, you can't vote.
That's real simple.
You get your voter card when you sign up for Selective Service.
libby emmons
I like a year of service.
I like a year of service for the country.
tim pool
I'm not saying a year of service.
libby emmons
No, I'm saying a year of service for the country.
unidentified
I like compulsory better than selective.
tim pool
Everybody in our generation signed up for Selective Service and no one's gotten called to a draft.
unidentified
That's the problem with that.
We're not going to do a draft because it's politically unpopular.
tim pool
But what doesn't even- none of this matters.
If we attached voting to the Selective Service, you would instantly weed out all Democrats.
libby emmons
The overall- You think this wouldn't do it?
tim pool
Go to Times Square and walk up to someone and say, who did you vote for?
They'll say Biden.
And say, would you join the military right now to go fight in a war?
And say, no.
Would you choose- would you send to be drafted?
No.
Problem solved.
You- I guarantee you, and shout out to any of these guys who are doing these Man on the Street interviews, ask people, who did you vote for?
Joe Biden.
Let me ask you a question.
In order to vote, you had to sign up to be drafted.
Would you sign up to be drafted?
They will say no.
And 80% of Republicans will say yes.
Problem solved.
We cannot have a voting system... It's really simple.
When you create a system in which people... I'll use this example.
Right now, I believe that Election Day should be a national holiday.
Everyone should get paid day off.
Why?
Because right now the incentive is, if you are unemployed, it's easier to vote.
Which means you're going to get a bunch of leftist communists who don't work, who can go vote, and family, parents, are going to be like, I can't do it.
unidentified
Especially retired people.
Right?
Older people.
tim pool
Exactly.
And so if we say, everybody gets a chance to go out and vote today, go vote, you will see substantially more people with families and work be like, well, okay, we'll go vote.
unidentified
No, yeah, it's an easy one, yeah.
tim pool
But actually, the easiest- This was done a long time ago.
I'm willing to bet if we attached voting to Selective Service, all of the problems we're facing would be wiped out in 20 years.
Maybe.
ian crossland
You'd still have dudes like, because I was like, well, how can I wiggle around this one?
I would not sign up for the Selective Service, but then make internet videos and tell people who to vote for and get 100,000 people to vote my way without ever having to join the military.
You'll see people like that, but I don't know if that's necessarily like a reason not to do it.
tim pool
It does not change my proposition.
ian crossland
Because they could only vote if they were in the Selective Service.
tim pool
Exactly.
And so you can advocate for whatever you want.
The issue is, only the people who are willing to submit, like to say, I would serve this country in its most dire needs, are allowed to vote.
You will still have Democrats voting, but the overwhelming majority of their voter base evaporates overnight.
libby emmons
I remember when all my friends had to sign up for Selective Service when we were in high school.
And it was all guys doing it, and I felt kind of weird.
unidentified
I felt like I wanted to have that responsibility as well.
libby emmons
I was like, I'm sorry, buddy. Yeah, I kind of felt like I wanted to
Have that responsibility as well. I was like, I love my country, you know, I would sign up for this. Yeah, it did
feel weird You know, it felt like it was, it didn't feel like I was being afforded the same responsibility for the nation.
unidentified
Right.
libby emmons
And I was definitely super lefty at the time.
unidentified
Yeah, I don't think it has to do with that.
I definitely would have signed up.
tim pool
I don't understand how we still legally have male-only draft.
libby emmons
Well, we don't really have any draft right now.
We do.
tim pool
The draft never went anywhere.
libby emmons
It never went away, but, you know, they haven't done it.
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
So the Senate has entertained several times forcing women to sign up for the draft, but they always back down to the last minute because their voters revolt.
Yeah, because the voters are female.
Right, because Democrat women are like, I don't blame someone for saying, I will steal from you and make you be my slave.
I get it.
That's what Democrats are doing when they support the idea that only men have to be drafted.
You die for me, I get whatever I want.
Yeah, I'm not okay with that.
Is there no lawsuit to force the question?
ian crossland
Maybe, but don't draft kids' moms.
unidentified
You'd have to have a draft and then there'd be some lawsuits.
tim pool
No, draft everybody.
ian crossland
I don't think if you have children under 18, then the mom should not be drafted.
libby emmons
What about the dads?
ian crossland
The dads should still have to.
libby emmons
The dads should be drafted?
Why?
ian crossland
That's just been the law.
I don't see any reason to change it.
libby emmons
But kids need dads.
tim pool
Sexism.
ian crossland
Kids need a country, too, and that's why you fight for it once in a while.
tim pool
Now, the idea that you give special benefits to one class of people defies... I don't know if I would call the female a class, though.
unidentified
It is.
ian crossland
I mean, it's just the mom.
libby emmons
It is a protected class under the Civil Rights Act.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
It is a class of people, and we should not Have a system where only men have to sign up to go die for other people.
Because the voting incentive then becomes, I don't have to die, you do.
You create, look, West Virginia's formation is so sus, okay?
Virginia goes to, enters a civil war.
All of the young men are conscripted to fight and leave, and then as soon as they do, the remaining people, older men and women, well, at the time, not women, but older guys who are there, vote to secede from the Confederacy.
To secede from Virginia and form a union state called West Virginia.
ian crossland
In World War II, all the British dudes went off to fight the Germans in Europe, and then when the Americans got to England, they just had sex with all the women.
That's hyperbole, but a lot of marriages fell apart, British marriages, during that period of time when the new men were in town, and the guys were off fighting the war.
tim pool
The point is, right now our voting system says women get the right to vote without any responsibility.
And that's sexist.
And it's wrong.
But guess what?
Women keep voting to protect that privilege.
That's female privilege right there.
libby emmons
Well yeah, I mean, people do vote for their own interests regardless of what the Democrats are always saying about how people vote against their interests.
ian crossland
I think that we fight to protect the women though, that's the whole purpose of defending our nation is to protect the women and the kids.
unidentified
Supposed to be women and children, right?
That was the whole thing, right?
ian crossland
To preserve the future of your species.
unidentified
Right.
ian crossland
So sending them to war is like last resort.
unidentified
But now, since you say now, since, you know, women have voted in a certain way to lead us to where, you know, we don't have that anymore.
tim pool
Hey look, we should be like Ukraine.
That's the argument.
Stand up, file a lawsuit, and say the United States is falling short of the ideals of its friends in Ukraine.
They draft women.
Why don't we?
unidentified
They are the epitome of a democracy.
libby emmons
They're not corrupt at all.
ian crossland
Yeah, I think that they shut down their radio stations and draft their women.
tim pool
Ian, you run as a Democrat, and you say you're fighting for equality under the law and you want the Equal Rights Amendment, and then as soon as you get all the women at a rally screaming and cheering for the Equal Rights Amendment, you go, Women should be drafted!
We want equality!
And they're going to go, no, we don't want equality anymore.
ian crossland
I got to get it.
If I can go rockstar mode and get like 40,000 women in the audience, then I'll say it.
unidentified
And they'll be like, yeah, I don't even know what he said, but yeah.
tim pool
Now I got you.
unidentified
Okay.
ian crossland
I'm not going to go down that road.
tim pool
All right, Tucson Alarm says, they literally just watered down the milk.
Food costs about four times to make is what you're paying for it in the store.
The government and banks subsidize it via grants and vulture loans.
That's why he bought the farm is a saying for life insurance paying off loans.
A lot of food is subsidized and is cheaper than it's supposed to be.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
That's why we make everything out of corn.
libby emmons
Yeah.
unidentified
Corn.
Corn is magical.
tim pool
We subsidize corn so people make gas out of corn.
unidentified
Make anything out of corn.
tim pool
Plastic out of corn.
unidentified
Cereal.
Like all the cereals we eat.
All corn.
Wouldn't even be possible to make those flavors without corn.
libby emmons
Yeah, I found a weird thing.
Did I tell you guys this already?
I went to, I was buying like sausages, like Italian sausages, and I kept picking up the packages and reading the ingredients and they all said high fructose corn syrup.
unidentified
Dude, test the hair of an American.
libby emmons
Clearly not getting this.
I didn't buy any of it.
