unidentified		Okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Baltimore bridge collapse.
		I'm sure most of you heard what happened.
		This is massive news.
		One of the largest ports in the country is now shut down after a major cargo ship smashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, destroying the bridge, presumably killing several people, and basically shutting down one of the largest ports in the country.
		Now, rumors are flying.
		Speculation that it was related to diversity hires who don't know how to drive.
		Maybe, but I don't know.
		Unless we get some evidence on that one, I don't know.
		Many people are suggesting it was a cyber attack due to many anomalies that occurred, considering this is a rare event and we're currently in a bunch of active conflict, especially with Iran, the Red Sea, you've got China, Taiwan, you've got Russia and Ukraine, plus Russia's claiming that Western intelligence was involved in the Moscow attack in some way.
		So maybe not.
		Maybe, maybe not.
		The White House is saying it was not terror, there's no indication it was intentional.
		But of course, rumors and speculation still flies.
		And I just gotta tell ya, I believe the initial hypothesis should be malintent.
		Not accident.
		We should be investigating malintent because if it was an accident, accidents happen.
		And we don't really have to do much if it was an accident other than You know, clean things up and make sure it doesn't happen again.
		But either way, this is going to have massive economic implications for the rest of the country.
		Already shipments are being delayed.
		People are being told their energy and imports won't be arriving for obvious reasons.
		They'll have to divert those shipments.
		So we'll talk about that.
		Plus, Donald Trump just got a billion dollars richer and the wall got 10 feet higher.
		DJT stocks are live and they spiked at around 75, no, I think $79 today, dropped back down to about 59.
		And you got these people coming out being like, don't buy it, don't buy it.
		I'm warning you, stay away.
		I gotta tell you, you know, this is on the five on Fox News, they're debating the value of the stock.
		And I'm like, it's not the stock that people are buying.
		It's shares of Trump himself.
		He is truth social.
		You want to follow him.
		He is creating shares in him as a personality.
		And I think Trump supporters are going to drive that stock to the moon because they want to hold a piece of it.
		It supports Donald Trump.
		They can retain that piece.
		And Trump gets wealthier and he can use that money pending a waiver to sell stock or take a loan against it to fund his campaign.
		So we'll talk about that plus a bunch of other stuff.
		Jon Stewart's ragging on Trump, claiming that Letitia James knew he committed fraud because when it came time to pay taxes, he paid a lower amount, which proves he was lying.
		The funny thing about that is tax assessment for buildings is done by the city, not by the individual.
		So Jon Stewart clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
		But I found the receipts.
		Jon Stewart sold a property in New York in 2014 for $17.5 million, despite the fact the assessed value was $1.8.
		And Jon Stewart knew that this property was worth way more, but only paid taxes on $740,000.
		Now, something's not right there, Jon.
		We'll talk about that, the hypocrisy, and Letitia James.

	Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else, Texas Lindsay!
unidentified		Hi, thanks so much for having me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who are you?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What do you do?
unidentified		Well, my real name is Lindsey Jones.
		I go by Texas Lindsey on Twitter, now X. I'm getting tired of saying it that way, but on X. A lot of people think that I did that to be anonymous, but that's not why.
		It's because Your name is Lindsay Jones.
		It's like the female John Smith.
		So I had to pick something a little bit unique.
		And that's what I went with.
		But I am a journalist.
		I helped with the Twitter files.
		And now I'm doing freelance work for the non-satirical side of the Babylon Bee for the Not The Bee outlet.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right on.
		Thanks for hanging out.
		Should be fun.
		We got Phil hanging out.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Hello, everybody.
		My name is Phil Labonte.
		I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains, anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
		What's going on?
unidentified		Hi, Phil!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		How you doing?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I'm Hannah Glick-Rimlow.
		I'm a writer for scnr.com.
		I'm happy to be back tonight.
		Serge is here, too.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		I am here.
		What's up, y'all?
		Let's start the show!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright, here's the first story.
		For those who missed it, I assume most of you know this, but we have this video right here.
		The Maryland-Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after being struck by a container ship, slamming right into one of its central support columns, destroying the whole thing.
		Six construction workers are presumed dead.
		Rescue efforts have been called off.
		This is breaking news.
		The big question is, how does this happen?
		So here you can see aerial footage from the morning.
		Let's play this video real quick to give you a step-by-step.
		You can see it.
		It's actually kind of small.
		I don't know if it's... Here you go.
		You'll notice... I'll pause the video.
		Actually, I can't pause the video, but keep an eye on the ship.
		You see the lights actually turned off already.
		They turned back on.
		And now the lights on the ship are going to shut off again.
		There's a lot of speculation about why this ship... There you go.
		Lights go off.
		Heading straight for the central support.
		You can see all the cars.
		That appears to be some kind of tractor-trailer driving across right now.
		This was around 1.30 in the morning today.
		And that truck driver right there, very lucky.
		You can see these work vehicles, not so lucky.
		And we're a few seconds out before this thing finally slams.
		And you can see the lights have turned back on.
		It sideswipes the support column, knocking the entire bridge to the ground.
		Now here are a few more cars passing across.
		I do think that these cars make it safely across.
		I'm not sure.
		It's hard to know if they make it through.
		Let's see.
		Yeah, okay, so I'm pretty sure when it came to who fell, it was the construction workers.
		So, uh, big vessel, forced perspective.
		We're watching very slowly, this replay footage.
		So... Any second now.
		And there it goes.
		It is sideswiping.
		There it is.
		So for those that are just listening, we're just watching this bridge collapse.
		This is crazy.
		This has just created an artificial barrier into Baltimore's port, one of the largest ports in the country, affecting trade massively.
		Now, I watched this assessment by this guy who's got a YouTube channel about shipping, and he says, you know, basically it's moving forward, the engine's cut off, they drop the port side anchor, which causes it to shift and steer right into that support column.
		The question is, as the White House says, it's not terrorism, and there's no indication it was intentional.
		How does an accident like this happen?
		Well, according to the Postmillennial, the ship that struck the bridge was involved in 2016 crash and had deficiencies.
		Perhaps that's the reason.
		I gotta say, I think we should operate under the idea that it was an attack, an intentional cyber attack, manipulating the control systems and the engines of the ship itself.
		And it would not be a very difficult thing to do.
		There have been numerous researchers who have published studies on the security of these large container vessels and how to manipulate them.
		It's entirely possible.
		I'd say, you know, simple solution is, you know, these these crashes happen.
		They've happened in the past.
		They'll happen again.
		So maybe that's it.
		But considering we're in active war, as much as they might, they don't want to admit it.
		And this wasn't just a crash.
		This shuts down one of our largest ports.
		I think it's fair to question whether or not there was a cyber attack on the United States, and operating under that assumption would keep us safer, but I'm curious what you guys think.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't think that to presume that it's a cyber attack is a bad idea for the government, and to be honest with you, considering the fact that the government has contingency plans for just about everything, like every eventuality that you could possibly come up with, I assume that the government is probably looking into this, or at least into the possibility, just because that's what the government does.
		I think for the people that are going to say, oh, it's ridiculous to even speculate, blah, blah, blah, the government has plans for literally everything.
		So I'm sure that there are people looking to see if there was a cyber attack.
		As for the ramifications, I mean, clearly it's going to be a gigantic mess forever, or not forever, but a long time, because the government is not going to clean it up.
		Fast.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, that means one of our major ports is, is shuttered.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's the biggest part.
		In my opinion, that's the biggest thing that's going on is the effect on the economy.
		The fact that the whole ports shut down and what it's going to mean for gas prices for, you know, cause you're coming into starting to get into the springtime travel seasons coming and stuff.
		That's going to, that's going to be a, it's going to have a big, big effect downstream for, for the economy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So we have this from the Baltimore banner.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They say, no, it's not world war three experts say bridge collapse, almost certainly not planned attack.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Almost certainly not.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And here's what I love.
		Here's what I love.
		It's a tweet from Alex Jones that says something like, looks deliberate, like a cyber attack is probable, World War III has already started, and it says fake.
		Okay, I just love this.
		As soon as I saw this, I was like, okay, now I think it's a cyber attack.
		Because Alex Jones saying, this looks like it could have been a cyber attack.
		And they go, that's a fake tweet.
		No, it's not.
		It's his opinion on what he thinks may have happened.
		Just because experts come out and say, it was it was an accident and not intentional doesn't mean you're not allowed to opine or that your opinion is fake.
		My opinion is I don't trust the government and maybe it was a cyber attack.
		How is it a fake opinion?
		It's a real opinion.
		It could be wrong.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The concept of cyber attack, you're not saying that like the United States government attacked.
		It's like there are constantly cyber attacks, like all the time.
		And it's like what you would consider friendly nations testing other friendly nations.
		The idea of cyber espionage in the corporate world, that isn't far-fetched.
		That's common.
		It happens every chance that a company gets.
		Like my ex-wife works in cybersecurity for a Shout out to Phil's ex-wife.
		No.
		Please don't do that.
		Maybe.
		Anyways.
		But the point is, there is a whole field of cyber security in the corporate world.
		So the idea that it couldn't be a cyber attack...
		By a state or whatever?
		The idea that it couldn't be is the actual far-fetched idea.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And the ship had flags from Singapore, right?
		So it's not like... I don't know.
		I feel like this could be a complicated geopolitical situation.
		Why would we rule anything out?
		At what point...
		Why do we know so quickly that it wasn't a terror attack?
unidentified		I don't know, I just- It's just because that's what- I feel like that's just the narrative they want to put out there, but- Well, it's just because- it's literally just because it's the opposite- But I admit, I'm more trust, you know?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's the opposite of what- of what, you know, Alex Jones said.
		It's the- the- The people that are politically incorrect or whatever are saying it, so we're going to take the opposite.
		And you saw this happen significantly during COVID.
		And we still see it.
		There are still people that walk around wearing masks.
		And you know that it's not because there's a significant protection that mask is offering.
		It's because they're making a political statement or an ideological statement.
		So it's very normal for people to be like, Alex Jones said it.
		Oh, he's crazy and he's wrong, blah, blah, blah.
		Without putting any thought into whether or not cyberattacks are actually common or not, and it's clear, considering the energy and effort that the United States, all governments and all big corporations, the amount of money they spend in defending against cyberattacks, to say that it wouldn't be a cyberattack, that's ridiculous.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		One assessment that I watched says the whole thing goes dark, engines shut down.
		Then they drop the port side anchor.
		I don't know if any of this is true.
		Causing it to steer right into the support column.
		Why would they do that?
		Many people, because of that, are arguing it must be DEI.
		Because they had a local crew navigating out of the port.
		That's usually what they do.
		And then they transport the person off before it heads on its way.
		I think it was going to Sri Lanka or something.
		So, the power goes out.
		So they drop anchor, forcing the ship to go right into the support column.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I don't know anything about steering a big ship like that at all, so.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it does steer right into the comm.
		So these are just a handful of people claiming on the internet, you know, running different channels, saying if it just, the power went out and they did nothing, it would have kept going straight.
		It would have gone straight underneath the bridge and just left.
		They forced it to shift and steer into the support comm.
		Why?
		So maybe cyber attack, you know, uh, I don't know how, uh, affect navigation systems or, uh, somehow negatively impact or sabotage the, uh, electrical systems.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, think about it like this, like if the power goes out, it could be that the computers have to boot up.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's what I was wondering.
		When the lights go out, and again, I don't know anything about boats.
		I don't know, guys.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		All I know about boats is if you shoot an American boat, you're done.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		Boats, crazy stuff.
		But you know, there was this moment when the lights go out in that recording where I'm like, are they trying to reboot a system on the computer?
		They have to shut everything down.
		And in doing so- The generator.
unidentified		The emergency backup generator comes on.
		So it just takes a minute for that to turn on.
		So it's not like they're trying to reboot it themselves.
		It automatically comes on when they lose power.
		So, I don't know, there's another take on this by Ethical Skeptic who looked into it and then checked into the wind directions and the tide currents to see what direction the- he did it at 5 a.m.
		this morning too- and he Because basically this was like a perfect storm of events with the full moon and the way the wind pulled and the currents pulled.
		He said, I don't think this was deliberate.
		So he kind of did his analysis.
		Then he said, all right, I'm going back to bed and posted that.
		But it was a good point to factor in all these Hold on, hold on.
		natural factors that you're not even thinking of when you're looking at it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		What did he say about the anchor drop though?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		This is the only time that someone bringing up the moon and I'm like, maybe that actually
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		does matter, huh?
unidentified		Well, the moon affects the tide.
		Right, exactly, exactly.
		Otherwise, I'm just like, oh, is your moon in Gemini or something?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Hold on, hold on.
		Everybody right now, when you're talking to a loved one and they say, oh, it's not a conspiracy,
		it was an accident, you go, no, it was the moon.
		The moon did it!
		I'm telling you!
		And they'll be like, what?
		And you'll be like, no, it was the tide.
		And then they'll go, oh, you're right, it was the moon.
unidentified		It does make me wonder, like, if only we could have a time machine.
		If Alex Jones had actually tweeted that this was an accident, if the Baltimore Banner headline would say, no, this was a deliberate attack, I would love to know how that would play out.
		If it's always going to be hardline, whatever, you know, this, you know, one side of the debate Right.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I just want to know what happened immediately.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I just want to know what happened with this anchor, right?
		So, like, if there's a malfunction on the ship and the anchor drops or just someone press a button and the anchor drops, like, I just don't know enough about boats.
		Well, I came unprepared to IRL.
		I was not expecting to.
unidentified		I used to sail competitively and I can tell you an anchor dropping does not immediately stop your boat.
		It's got to catch on to something.
		It's got to sink.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Which is why you see that slow drift, right?
unidentified		I've never been on a boat that size before.
unidentified		But did somebody say it was like three million 80,000 tons?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		80,000 tons?
		80,000 tons?
		I, I, this morning I retweeted a thread by, I don't know who it is, Cyber Gibbons is the
		name, like, like you would spell it.
		And I'm retweeting it now and it's a, he goes through what he saw and he does a good layout
		of how the, how ships that big work, how the, the different voltage on different engines
		I guess they have to use multiple engines to start the main engine and stuff, but he goes through a big list of it.
		I just retweeted it.
		If anyone is interested, you can take a look at it.
		But it does sound like it, to me, it sounds like, I don't know what caused the power to go out, but once the power was out, it was doomed.
		As soon as the power went off right in the beginning.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it was not to slam into a support column.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		What I'm saying is they couldn't get it back.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It was drifting and they didn't have the ability to get control of it.
unidentified		And it's moving at a fast pace because of the weight, too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but it's not going to turn.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Something turned.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Those currents at a harbor are going to be so intense.
		And that's why you have a harbor pilot that actually drives it.
		They live there and study that just to make that passage.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How is this possible?
		How is this possible?
		How come there are no large barriers protecting central support columns from bridges that cost tens of millions of dollars and took five years to build and whose destruction could disable one of the largest ports?
		How is there no large barrier?
unidentified		And one of the only roadways that allows hazardous materials.
		You can't take hazardous materials from what I've read today anywhere else that has the tunnels that go through Maryland or Baltimore.
		They have to take this route.
		Now they can't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How am I supposed to hear all of this and then think anything other than it was intentional in some way?
unidentified		Who's going to benefit from these routes being deterred?
unidentified		Russia.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		China.
unidentified		But who was at the helm of the ship?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you think it was Singaporean?
unidentified		Singaporean?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They say it was a local harbor crew, but it's a Singaporean ship.
unidentified		Well, you know, it could be a cyber attack, but I just think that you, I think you have to have proof of that, or at least be seeking proof to investigate that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sure, let's play Occam's Razor then.
		This ship driver slipped on a banana peel, spun in circles, and headed directly for the one part of the, one of two parts of this bridge that would destroy and disable one of the largest ports in America, or We're at war, and our enemies have been cyberattacking us relentlessly.
		In the news already, there are numerous reports of Chinese cyberattacks on the United States.
		So, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions is, we're at war with Russia.
		Russia targets a ship.
		Disables the largest port in America versus a perfect storm of weather, tides, an ill-prepared crew, two random power outages, and a dropped anchor at the most inopportune time, causing it to shift perfectly to the central support column of a bridge that collapses, killing people, disabling hazmat transportation, and shutting down one of the largest ports in this country.
		Okay, by all means, that may be the explanation, but the simple solution right now is our port was attacked.
unidentified		By the moon.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		See, that's the crazy one.
		It's like, well, you know, the moon was there and the tide was here and the wind was blowing in this direction.
		Look, man, when it comes to 9-11, we were attacked.
		That's the simple solution.
unidentified		But they knew immediately that we were attacked, and they knew exactly who did it within hours.
		Like, that was the craziest thing.
		So that was, like, all that came out really fast.
		This is my point.
		But it's not come out at all about who was behind this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no, no.
		Because of politics.
		My point is, when it came to 9-11, there was no question of pilot error, perfect storm, planes had been veered off course.
		No, they knew exactly who did it, how they did it, why it was done instantly.
		So here we are, and they're not the same circumstances, I get it.
		They're very, very different.
unidentified		If there were two boats, I think we'd know.
unidentified		If there were two bridges and two boats that have been hit, then we would absolutely be in agreement.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		My point is simply, intentional act makes the least amount of assumptions than the perfect storm of accidents disabling one of our largest ports.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's a strong coincidence that while the US was just accused by, I shouldn't say the US, but Western intelligence was just accused of aiding these terrorists in Moscow, A day later!
unidentified		They're not just accused.
		Victoria Nuland's departure speech bragged about what's going to come and how she had a president for Putin.
		And then it happened.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So perfect, fine.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Vladimir Putin comes out.
unidentified		She admitted it and warned and then it happened.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Which is completely my point.
		Vladimir Putin says, you guys attacked us.
		And so now we have to make a bunch of assumptions.
		Putin has not retaliated against us.
		China is not aiding and abetting or taking any concerns here.
		Venezuela, Iran, North Korea.
		None of our enemies have any interest right now in targeting ships to disable a bridge.
		That's an assumption.
		Maybe the attacks are happening somewhere else.
		They're attacking our southern border, sending drugs and criminals and stuff.
		Then this ship lost power at the worst time, dropped anchor, causing it to spin.
		Then the power kicked back on and kicked off, slamming into one of the central support columns, knocking out this bridge, disabling one of the largest ports and our hazmat transport for the East Coast.
		I just think, while both are entirely possible, the simple solution is, we were attacked.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Do you think it would be better for Biden if it was an attack, or worse?
		Because my thought is here, if it were an attack, he'd be like, I'm gonna rally support, we're gonna go after these guys.
		But by admitting that it was an attack, he's admitting that we're weak.
unidentified		You know what I mean?
unidentified		Like, what spin would the Biden administration- I gotta be honest, I mean like- Biden's whole campaign though is, we're weak, and we're gonna build back better.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It very well may be just an accident.
		Totally fine.
		Accidents do happen.
		I'm not suggesting I have any evidence that it is a cyber attack.
		I'm saying it would be simpler to assume it was a cyber attack.
		Now, as to why the U.S.
		would deny it, to be completely honest, I can make up 50 million reasons why they would or would not want to deny it.
		It's just really about whether you think one may be true or not.
		That being said, if it's coming to say like the art of war, you want to win the war before it starts, the US, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, the BRICS nations, the NATO countries, they want to align their chessboard in the appropriate places before they begin trading pieces.
		So they want to know that they've actually set the board for victory before the hot war kicks off.
		That could be a disadvantage to force your enemy into declaration of a hot war, which shifts the priorities of a nation or causes the president to lose.
		If Joe Biden comes out, and this is all hypothetical because there's a million one arguments, this is not the case.
		I think it's fair.
		I can make any argument.
		Joe Biden comes out and says, this was retaliation by Russia for our direct involvement with the Ukrainians and what Victoria Nuland said in supporting terror attacks in Russia.
		His approval ratings dropped to one.
		Instantly, everyone says, you did this, you triggered this.
		I really don't see a scenario in which Joe Biden comes out and says, we are under attack.
		And people go, yay, Joe Biden, great leader.
		No, they say, get him out.
		This proves everything we've said about this guy being completely incompetent.
		Donald Trump goes on TV and says, this could not be tolerated.
		Our country being attacked.
		Joe Biden caused this.
		So there's really good reasons for them to be like, no, no, just an accident.
		Just an accident.
		But again, I'll stress.
		We have no idea.
		We literally have no idea.
		It's really just going to be whether you decide to or not.
		But I will stress, when that article came out and was like, this is a fake tweet.
		I have the tweet pulled up.
		Here it is.
		Alex Jones says, looks deliberate to me.
		A cyber attack is probable.
		World War III has already started.
		Quote tweeting Andrew Tate who said, this ship was cyber attacked.
		Lights go off and it deliberately steers towards the bridge supports.
		Foreign agents of the US attacked digital infrastructures.
		Nothing is safe.
		Black Swan event imminent.
		Ron Paul has been warning about a Black Swan event.
		We've been concerned about the potential for cyber attacks.
		We have numerous stories right now in international media of the US and the UK Furious that China keeps launching cyber attacks against it then this happens they go no no no no no ignore everything That's been in the news so far This was an accident, and it was just a perfect storm of tides wind the moon position a bad poorly trained crew dropping anchor at the wrong time where the power went out abruptly for some unknown reason and then caused the ship to steer right in the support comm knocking out a bridge disabling one of the largest ports in the country
		I just find that really difficult, you know what I mean?
unidentified		I think in this case, both people are wrong.
		You have the paper that's wrong, and Andrew Tathan's wrong, because they're both saying that he's not right, and the newspaper is saying that this is absolutely not true, and he's saying this is absolutely not an accident.
		So the absolute problem is where you have the issue, because yes, it could be a cyber attack.
		Yes, it could just be an accident.
		But automatically trying to fact check and shut down and silence what one person says or discredit them and hurt their character for saying something.
		But he didn't word it right.
		He doesn't have proof that it was a cyber attack.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We have a super chat.
		Corey Anderson said that he's been in the military for 19 years.
		He says, if I was a terrorist, I'd take out a tunnel.
		No, look, I disagree.
		If you're a terrorist, perhaps, sure, because you're trying to target civilians and disrupt civilian life and morale.
		If you're a military, if you're a foreign adversary, you're looking at ways to stop an economy.
		Shutting down a large port is War Tactics 101.
		The Union forces in the Civil War blockaded southern ports to strangle them out.
		This is War 101.
		Disable a port.
		Well, tunnels should be next.
unidentified		Because now the hazardous materials can't go across that bridge, and now they have to go through tunnels, and they have to get a permit to go through tunnels.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They'll go north and around Baltimore.
unidentified		Baltimore, somebody from one of the Baltimore officials today said they'll just have to get a permit that take a few weeks in order to go through the tunnels in Baltimore.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A lot of trucks will probably just divert around Baltimore, adding a lot of friction to the transport process.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		81's gonna get crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, dude, I mean, this is bad for us, too, because we used BWI, which is right by the bridge, and so that means traffic's gonna get backed up, and it's gonna be brutal.
		Plus, uh, there's big shopping areas over there.
		It's gonna get cluttered, and it's already super cluttered.
		But there's, look, you could make the argument, Corey, uh, I think it's a fair argument.
		Yes, they would be targeting tunnels and civilians.
		Unless they're, unless the goal of a foreign actor is disabling infrastructure, which I mean, I gotta be honest.
		Do you want to attack civilians, which rallies public support against you, or could shock a system?
		I mean, maybe.
		Or do you want to take out your enemy's ability to drive their car?
		You know what I mean?
		It's like, what do you choose to do if you're trying to win a war?
		Do you scare people, disable the internal routes of a city, or remove the entire opportunity for them to bring trade in?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		Again, I'll stress, I got no idea.
		I got no idea.
		It's all wild speculation.
		But I suppose we'll just, let's see, what do we have?
		I got a bunch of stories about this.
		I think we already covered most of it.
		Engineers raising questions about the support of the bridge, why there were no barriers there.
		I think that's fairly obvious.
		So I guess we'll just, we'll jump to the next story.
		I think we have it here.
		Let's talk about Donald Trump!
		Truth social parent company shares skyrocket during market debut triggering trading pause.
		The jump was so big it opened at $49.95 and quickly jumped to $72 before 10.30am.
		We have this from Yahoo, it's currently sitting at close at about $58, $57.99.
		about 58 bucks, $57.99.
		We saw the peak was around, I believe it was 70, what do we have, $77 or was it a little higher than that?
		About $77.
		So currently now sitting just shy of 60 bucks.
		Looks like Donald Trump just made about another billion dollars.
		This story, I think, is one of the most important stories in U.S.
		history.
		Donald Trump has, and I can't believe it's not been done before, but I guess with the rise of the special purpose acquisition company, the SPAC, you're buying shares of Trump himself.
		So you can buy shares of Trump's company.
		I'm not saying you should, I'm saying you, when, you know, on Fox News today, there's that liberal woman, I don't know her name, but she was like, it's not worth it.
		The company, there's no way the stock is worth it.
		Nobody cares.
		Trump supporters are buying shares of Donald Trump, and they're not going to sell them.
		If someone tries to do an institutional short against DJT, all Trump supporters are going to start buying up and holding, and they're going to shut down these institutions that try to attack the Trump stock.
		Meaning, the likelihood, based on the Trump fervor, his support base, is upward trajectory.
		I don't see why the stock would go down.
		Trump supporters who are buying it and driving it high aren't the ones who sold.
		It was probably retail investors who bought into it, decided to cash out.
		But Trump supporters are buying and holding.
		This means that Trump can fund his campaign off of this stock.
		He's made himself one of the wealthiest people, top 500 wealthiest people in the country.
		I don't know, this is kind of wild.
		Imagine this, this is actually one of the Krasensteins brought this up, and I am equally concerned about this.
		Let's say China starts buying a bunch of shares.
		Driving the price skyrocketing.
		Trump then sells a bunch of the shares, cashes out a cool billion dollars and funds his campaign off of it.
		This is going to allow foreign actors to directly support presidential candidates.
		So I don't know how everyone feels about that.
		All I know is this is a major historical moment watching this and it's good for Donald Trump.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, it's definitely good for Donald Trump.
		There's, you know, the problem of his bail or bond kind of goes away.
		We've talked about this last night.
		It should be, in theory, it should be easy to be able to find someone to loan you the money against that kind of stock.
		You know, that's what Musk did to fund his purchase of X or Twitter or whatever you want to call it.
		So, you know, it's good for his wallet and He's gonna fund his campaign off it.
		Yeah, you know, I think that as long as it's not illegal, I don't know campaign finance laws and I don't know what kind of laws surround it, but if there is any law that he even approaches breaking, there is going to be a DA frothing at the mouth ready to issue charges on him.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Trump could jaywalk right now and they'd give him jail time for it.
		They're gonna be like, well, you know, it is a petty infraction that normally gets a ticket, but... But when you did it, jail for life!
		Yeah.
		I'll give it 30 days for jaywalking.
		30 days.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's really horrible when you talk about the, you know, the ramifications of this kind of abuse of government, you know, on a, essentially just an American citizen.
		It's unprecedented and it's definitely set the tone for the way that people feel about New York entirely.
		Look, You know going into the city for for my band playing in the city is tough because you've got you know your bus and you got trailers and you got parking and it's it's a pain in the butt.
		I can't imagine and there's all you know there's all kinds of fees and stuff that you have to pay just to get your your vehicle in and stuff there was a time where they were talking about you have to can't bring your bus in you have to drive in in vans and stuff so it it's it's always been weird and a pain in the butt.
		I can't imagine what it's like for you know A large company to try to build a building there.
		It's got to be a nightmare.
		And then with the government, the state government saying, look, we're going to attack this political person, attack this person over politics we don't like.
		You know, Kevin Leary, is it O'Leary or Kevin Leary?
unidentified		O'Leary, I was going to say.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Kevin O'Leary, yeah.
unidentified		He is going on a mission right now.
unidentified		Oh, is he doing more?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Please tell me more.
unidentified		He's just going on every media, the full media circuit and every interview, just going off and screaming at the top of his lungs like this is, This is not America.
		You don't do this.
		This is destroying everything.
		And he's like, I'm about to go raise $3 billion to build a new data center.
		He goes, and I won't build it in New York, because nobody will.
		Everybody keeps asking me all around the world, what is going on in New York?
		And he's like, well, just trust me, this is not It's normal.
		It's not the case.
		He's like, but we've got to do something about this.
		It's got to be a return.
		It is making everybody nervous to spend money in this state and city that O'Leary loves, but he will not spend another dime there.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's a bad investment right now.
unidentified		It's horrible.
		Nobody wants to put that kind of money up with that risk on the line.
		It's just not worth it.
		It's scary.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		And you know, another thing that people don't, I think your average person doesn't think about very frequently is when you're dealing with You know, loans and the amount of money, the large sums they're talking about, like one in two percent of billions of dollars is a whole lot of money that people are not okay with just watching evaporate.
		It's like, you might be like, well, I can go ahead and deal with, you know, 2.25 points on my loan or whatever, but those same 2.25 loan points on something at a billion dollars or whatever, people aren't messing around with that kind of money.
		So if there's any kind of risk, the first rule of investing is preserve your capital.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So reportedly Truth Social loses 49 million dollars over the same period makes somewhere around three or four million dollars.
		So the argument plainly from a lot of people is there's no way this stock has anywhere near this value.
		Especially when you look at other larger companies that generate a healthy profit that don't have a stock value of this high.
		But this is what's scary to me is that it doesn't matter if the stock makes money at all.
		It doesn't matter if the Trump supporters want to buy it.
		They do.
		The corporation or Trump could sell these shares to fans and use that capital to finance the platform.
		This is activist investing, funding a company, investing in it, not because of its success as a business, but because of its ideological importance to the people who are buying it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Right, I wish we could see the number of first-time stock buyers right now who are like, I don't care about any of this, but I am getting the stock.
unidentified		GameStop 2.0, but this is a political version of it instead of a bored-at-home, trying-to-learn-how-to-invest version.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is a scary future.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		If people started shorting this, or if there was some kind of, you know, the same kind of drama that the GameStop people were involved in there with this, it would definitely be obviously very, very good for Trump, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It would bankrupt any institution that tries—so the Krasinskys were like, this is gonna be—there's gonna be major short positions against DJT, there's no way it's worth this, and I'm like, oh no, there won't be.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		If you were a bank, and you try and short this, and you get Donald Trump's base, which they say has a solid 40 to 44 percent, every single one of Trump's supporters will just start buying the shares to screw over anyone who tried to screw over Trump, and you will bankrupt your institution.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		As a side note, I think it's hilarious, this little stock situation is a clear It's clear destruction of the labor theory of value, so Marxist or BTFO.
		If people are willing to pay a premium price just because it says Donald Trump on it, don't tell me that the laborer sets the price.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dude sold NFTs and he sold them out.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I was a little surprised he didn't debut at $45 like I get $49.99 but 45 is his presidential
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		number so I didn't know how gimmicky we were gonna go with stocks.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I love that he sold NFTs as trading cards so that way boomers would buy them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And they sold out?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yes!
		I know, it's great.
		I love it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But here's the reality is a lot of these people don't care.
		They're just donating to Donald Trump because he asked.
		And I don't think anybody thought, like, this Donald Trump astronaut card's gonna make me a cool million bucks.
		They were just like, I'll buy it, I'll help Trump out.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Those are the same people that got two bottles of Trump water from El Dorado or from wherever.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They brought one home to put on the mantle and then the other one they drank.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They wanted to show their friends.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I mean, the thing about Trump is that he has such a strong base that really rallies around him.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		They believe in what he symbolizes for their country, so they're willing to say, like, I'm going to buy your stock, I'm going to buy your wine, I'm going to show up for you in ways that I wouldn't just for a random presidential candidate, because he has turned this into something larger than just politics.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When I was working at Fusion, you had the narrative from a lot of these anti-Trump people, like, oh, Trump's had all these bankruptcies, and there was one story like, where's Trump steak?
		Where's Trump magazine?
		Where's Trump water?
		And, you know, I googled it and I was like, oh, those are white label products for his golf resorts and his hotels.
		So when you go to Trump Doral, you can read Trump Magazine and you can get a Trump's.
		I don't know if they still have it, but when I was there, I'm pretty sure they did.
		And so certainly when I checked into my room, this is really funny because my assistant booked me a room at Trump Doral for some reason.
		I was like, hey, I'm coming to the office.
		I need a hotel.
		And Trump Doral was right next to the Fusion office.
		So they put me at a golf resort during like the world championship golf game.
unidentified		What year was this?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		2014, I think.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		2014 was too early.
unidentified		It was the end of 2014 when I started, so this is probably end of 2015.
		And so, what do I see?
		Bottles of Trump water.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think this is 2015 or 16 actually because this is when Trump was obviously 2014 was too early
		It was the end of 2014 when I started so this is probably end of 2015 and so what do I see?
		Bottles of Trump water, so I took them and I brought them back to New York, and I was like my friends
unidentified		Here's your Trump water And they're like, what?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But we thought it doesn't exist.
		And I'm like, they're at his buildings.
		He has his own bottle of water.
		Hotels have their own water.
		It's not a big deal.
unidentified		He did just drop his own Bible today, too.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Oh, wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, hey, more power to him.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		What they put in the nightstands of hotels?
		Bibles.
		I'm surprised we didn't get here sooner.
unidentified		It's like the God bless America Trump Bible.
unidentified		He really did.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Just in time for Easter.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I could be wrong, but I think that the band Korn bought a bus company.
		So that way they would always have a bus available, buses available.
		Which I mean, and it could be that Metallica did the same thing.
		I think Metallica owns like a lot of the production.
		Like they just start, you start another company.
		I mean, I own two companies that run all that remains, right?
		So it's normal to be like, all right, well, this entity does this and this entity does that.
		And to just start your own business, you know, if you've got something like Trump,
		like Donald Trump, who's got the funds to, you know, to be like, okay, maybe it's cheaper for me to go ahead
		and supply my properties with stuff if I own the company.
		Such an a-hole.
		John Stewart gives cutting takedown of Kevin O'Leary defending Trump fraud.
		you know in the Trump magazine of course you're gonna be like look you can get
		Trump this and Trump that because again people will be like look my Trump water
		it sits on my mantle next to my Bible that I bought it Trumped her out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's jump to this next story from Mediaite such an a-hole Jon Stewart gives cutting takedown of Kevin O'Leary
		defending Trump fraud now the story my friends here is not about Jon Stewart giving
		his opinion I'm going to state for you, I believe I have caught Jon Stewart having committed serious real estate fraud.
		And I will show you the evidence in this segment because Jon Stewart argues that paying lower taxes on a building when you know it's worth more is fraud.
		And I have evidence Jon Stewart did just that.
		Now I gotta clarify because I am kidding.
		I don't know exactly how much Jon Stewart paid in his taxes.
		I do know that he sold the property well above its tax assessed value which in his argument Is undervaluing the property, which is fraud.
		He clearly has no idea what he's talking about, or he's intentionally lying about Donald Trump's fraud case.
		So, here we go.
		So, Kevin O'Leary, not just the co-host of Shark Tank, Jon Stewart is an a-hole.
		Stewart opened Monday night's show, The Daily Show, searing takedown of the conservative media's victimless crime defense that the business valuation fraud for which Trump has been found liable.
		The TDS host, wow, that's actually pretty good.
		The Trump Derangement Syndrome host aimed at many targets during his monologue but hit no one harder than O'Leary.
		Quote, The Attorney General of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties.
		It was all part of a very specific real estate practice known as lying.
		Okay, now hold on there a minute.
		So, this is how Letitia James knew that Trump was committing fraud.
		Because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the properties.
		Okay.
		For those that don't know, and I assume most of you do, but many don't, and I think it's fair if you don't, there's something called a tax-assessed value and a market value.
		They are different.
		A tax-assessed value is what a local tax assessor from the government, they come to your property, they say, we think your property's worth this much, you gotta pay taxes based on what we think your property's worth.
		Market value is determined by appraisers, or quite literally, by you, if you're saying, I won't sell my house for less than a million bucks, and they'll say, your house is worth ten bucks, it's a, I don't care, you want it, it's a million bucks, that's the value I'm giving it.
		Now, an appraiser will give you a general assessment based on the market and other comparable properties, so it's a fair determination based on comparable properties, not necessarily what you want to sell it for.
		There is still a difference.
		Jon Stewart's making the argument that Kevin O'Leary is wrong, that Donald Trump committed fraud because he paid taxes on an undervaluing of the building, Instead of paying what its fair market value was.
		Let's not mince words.
		From the New York Times, John Stewart sells Tribeca Penthouse for $17.5 million.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Wow!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is from the New York Times, publicly available information on a major news website.
		A sophisticated penthouse at 161 Hudson Street, configured as a duplex loft with 2,000 square feet of outdoor options, nearly 6,000 square feet of interior space, sold for $17.5 million, and was the most expensive sale of the week according to city records.
		The voluminous unit number 9A and 8B, with more than 40 windows providing exposures in three directions, has been owned since 2005 by the television pundit Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show.
		Well, according to publicly available county records, January 5th, 2013, the tax assessed value of 161 Hudson Street.
		We have it right here!
		Estimated market value is $1.8 million, according to the government.
		Its actual assessed value is $847.
		And it's, uh, I don't know what trans-AV means, but they say, subject to adjustments, your 2013-2014 taxes will be based on $748,452.
		So let's use Jon Stewart's own argument against him.
		If he's paying taxes on a property he KNEW was worth substantially more, tax fraud.
		Why didn't he go to the city and say, no, no, no, guys, guys, the real value of this is $17.5 million.
		I know what it's actually worth.
		If I were to pay you less, that would be fraud, according to Jon Stewart's own arguments, right?
		Now, here's the best part about Jon Stewart's argument, because the dude clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
		If the argument is that when Trump went to pay taxes for his business and argued that his business had underutilized space, therefore he's operating at a loss, so he's filing business taxes with a loss to write down how much profit he made, he would overvalue the properties, not undervalue them, showing that Jon Stewart either has no idea what he's talking about or he's lying to manipulate people.
		But I'll break it down.
		If the argument was that Donald Trump committed fraud because he went to the banks and said, look at all the space we have.
		You can do X with this, you can do Y with it, which would set its market value closer to $100 million.
		Then he goes to the city and says, right now the tax assessed value is $1 million, so I'm only going to pay taxes a little bit.
		That's property taxes.
		The only potential argument you can make is that Trump was filing business taxes for his real estate company, cutting down how much profit he made by claiming he wasn't utilizing space properly.
		If that's the case, the real fraud would be arguing that your building that's only worth $100 million is in fact worth $200 million, and then saying that this loft that we haven't sold should be renting out for $100,000 a month based on the $200 million value, and that's a $100,000 per month loss, so I should pay less in taxes.
		Arguing that Trump undervalues his property means... Well, Jon Stewart's arguing that the city colluded with Donald Trump to drop his property taxes, while at the same time, I'll argue this.
		Jon Stewart knew his property was worth $17.5 million.
		He was selling the thing.
		His tax assessment was only $700,000.
		The question is...
		Did Jon Stewart pay taxes based on the $17 million value?
		Furthermore, if the city argues that Jon Stewart's building or his condo was only worth $1.8 million, I think Jon Stewart committed fraud by lying to the prospective buyers.
		You see, many people said, Tim, the buyers chose... This is a response I get on Twitter.
		Everyone's like, you don't understand how fraud works, Tim.
		The buyers choosing to buy the property for $17.5 million chose to do that market sale.
		It's different from getting a loan.
		So what they're arguing is, if I trick someone into buying a fake product or an overvalued product, it's not fraud by lying to them.
		Jon Stewart knew the real value of his property, according to the government, was $1.8 million.
		How dare he lie to a prospective buyer and claim it's worth more?
		That poor buyer bought the property and then went, oh no, we spent $17 million on this.
		We had to use Jon Stewart's value assessment to go get a loan from a bank, which is fraud, According to Letitia James.
		And now we're sitting on a property only worth 1.8 million?
		Jon Stewart swindled them out of nearly 16, of over 16 million dollars.
		According to his own argument, and according to Letitia James.
		So let's not play these stupid games.
		Because otherwise, the moment Donald Trump gets in office, why doesn't he send the DOJ after them for playing this exact game?
		There's my rant.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He should.
		I think that it's time to use the government against your political enemies.
		What?
unidentified		If your political enemies have in any way broken... To be fair, some political parties are already doing this.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, I mean, I'm saying for the conservatives.
		If there are laws that have been broken, there's no reason not to prosecute.
		Investigate and prosecute.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes, but this isn't a real law being broken.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's why, well, I mean, I agree.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The reality is, and I was actually shocked by this, I pulled up Zillow, and I was like, let's debunk Jon Stewart's ridiculous argument by going on zillow.com and showing you the sale price is different from the tax assessed price.
		The government determines how much you pay, not Trump.
		Trump, of course, is going to maximize his value.
		It's not fraud.
		What I found is crazy.
		There's $20 million lofts with a tax assessed value of $700,000.
		And I was like, how is that possible?
		You know, most houses... So I looked in Seattle, Washington at houses.
		$800,000 house tax assessed value, $500,000.
		Okay, makes sense.
		You're selling it for $800,000.
		The government thinks it's worth $500,000.
		That's like fairly comparable.
		It's like almost... Jon Stewart's property was worth $17 million and he was only paying taxes based on $748,000.
		Now that is some bull, and that's what they do in New York because people would probably flee if property taxes were actually based upon the true value of these condos and these lofts.
		Jon Stewart played the game, he knew the game, and he's lying to the American people for political power because he's a scumbag.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		I mean, if you look hard enough, you can find anybody who's committed a crime at some point.
		And I mean, they even changed laws for Trump in New York to go after him for that rape accusation.
		It was outdated.
		She couldn't come forward and do that.
		And they said, well, we're just going to open up a window so that these claims can be filed just so we can go after him for the crazy lady with the E.J.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		and Carol.
unidentified		Yes, E.J.
		and Carol with the... I guess I can't even say her cat's name because it's... Not on this part of the internet.
		She's so crazy!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, she's a nutjob.
unidentified		So we look at this document... But it takes a lot for a nutjob to file, you know, a suit against a former president.
unidentified		That's how crazy it's gotten.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		New York has been taken over by communists.
unidentified		I agree.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Literally.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The people that are elected are communists.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You take a look at this assessment roll from 2013-14.
		They mention that property is assessed at the following uniform percentages of full market value.
		Class 1 is 6%, class 2, 3, and 4 is 45%.
		This is building class R4.
		So I'm assuming the reason why he's paying based on $740,000 is it's a class 4, 45%.
		But the estimated market value is only 1.8.
		How does New York operate this way?
		I mean, let's just be real.
		The argument a lot of people have made against Trump is, oh, what, so because everyone's committing fraud, Trump should be allowed to do it?
		And I'm like, dude, if everyone's committing fraud and they all know how the machine operates, there's no fraud.
		It is just the rules.
		Fraud would be if I went to and said, hey, This rooster, it's actually a unique, ancient, you know, it's worth a million bucks.
		And if I sold it to somebody, that's fraud.
		I lied to them about what it was.
		So Jon Stewart, by his own argument, should not be allowed to sell his property for what he did.
		He should have had to go to them and say, look, it's a $1.8 million property.
		That's it.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nor other Democrats.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's weird how if you're in the right party, you don't have to get prosecuted for things that conservatives definitely do have to face charges for.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I'm noticing some sort of pattern.
unidentified		I do see them kind of going after the mayor of New York City, though.
		I think he spoke out of line one too many times.
		Because of illegal immigration.
		Exactly.
		If you speak out, they'll come for you, too.
		So nobody's really safe.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, that's, that's kind of typical of the left.
		It's, it's, you know, if you step out of line or you get canceled, whether it be, you know, support by people in your party or, or if they're trying to kick you out of your job or whatever, like that's a standard practice on the left.
		That's, that's been that way.
		It's not a surprise.
		And everybody that, that has thrown their lot in with the left should understand that you are only as useful as the current You're just a boring old woman.
		step out of line they will toss you under the bus. You can ask the radical
		feminists, the trans-exclusionary radical feminists, those are
		TERFs now and they are under the bus. They used to be the cutting edge of you

unidentified		Too bad for you. Bring on the new women, the one with penises.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I want to give a shout out to our good friend Ryan Krasenstein for this tremendous display.
		On Twitter, I said, did Jon Stewart commit fraud when he sold his penthouse for $17.5 million?
		New York listed its market value at $1.8, etc, etc.
		You know the argument.
		Brian Krasenstein argued, he responded, let me explain this to you in simple terms.
		John Stewart sold his property to someone who wanted to pay $17.5 million for it.
		I'm going to pause there and just try to explain this to Brian in simple terms.
		Brian, when you lie about the value of something and trick someone into paying for it, There is a fine line between fraud and not fraud.
		I am not literally saying Jon Stewart committed fraud.
		I think he's allowed to value his own property at whatever he wants and sell it.
		The argument is, tongue-in-cheek in this regard, that Jon Stewart knew the government assessed the value of his building at 1.8 million and he sold it for 17.5 anyway, therefore artificially inflating the value.
		You see the point I'm making?
		It's based on the democrat logic.
		He says Donald Trump lied to banks and financial institutions not only about the value of his properties, but about how much they were earning, the size of the properties, the number of units that could be built on the properties, in order to deceive them into taking risks they should not have taken, and lending him money they would not have lended him.
		One case is someone selling a property over the state's estimated market value because demand is there, with both parties entering the agreement knowing the terms.
		We don't know that.
		Do we know that the buyer knew what the assessed value was?
		I'm assuming they did.
		The other is called fraud and was on a massive scale.
		I gotta pause you there.
		The banks did their own due diligence and argued there was no fraud.
		Furthermore, none of two even matters because there was no trial.
		You can argue anything you want about what you claim Trump did, but you have never proven it in a court of law.
		The judge had a summary, there was a summary judgment issued.
		Trump was declared to have committed fraud without presenting any evidence at trial nor defense.
		So you don't get to just assert a thing is true unless you prove it in court.
		And unfortunately for you, your psychotic anger and judge didn't allow that to happen.
		So you live in crackpot cult world where you let despots bang a gavel and strip people of their property.
		But it gets better.
		You see, I responded to our good friend Brian saying, Brian, let me help you.
		Because I know it's hard to Google.
		Jon Stewart argued on his show that paying taxes on a lower assessed value then claiming a higher market value is fraud.
		to which I posted the quote.
		The Attorney General of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated
		because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties.
		It was all part of a very specific real estate practice on his line,
		arguing that Trump was called out for fraud because he claimed his properties were worth X,
		got loans against them, but then when he went to pay taxes,
		he used a lower assessed value.
		To which Brian responded, show me where he argued this.
unidentified		Oh my God.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		I'm appreciative of this, Brian.
		Simple terms.
		I do appreciate this because it makes it easy for me to explain to the viewers.
		I quite literally just read you, dear viewer, a quote from Jon Stewart that Donald Trump properties were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, he undervalued those properties.
		Okay, Stuart mocked Trump in the screenshot of the quote that Brian apparently did not or could not read.
		Hence my point.
		Brian has no idea what he's talking about, has not followed up on any of this information, and believes that if a judge without a trial bangs a gavel and says, I hereby decree, it is now fact.
		Sorry, I live in the world of meritocracy and jurisprudence.
		Meaning if a judge wants to accuse Trump of wrongdoing, if a DA wants to, if an attorney general wants to, they have to prove it in court.
		And they never did.
		Therefore, Trump is innocent of all charges of wrongdoing and nothing you said is a proven fact.
		It's speculation and conjecture where a judge banged a gavel and there was no trial.
		Sorry, have a nice day.
		There we go, there's my rant on Trump did nothing wrong.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The other day, Brian tweeted something about, I forget what the tweet was, but it was just about in support of Biden.
		And I was like, you've supported Biden forever.
		And he was like, show me where.
		And I'm like, what?
		So then me and a bunch of people just inundated him with all these times that he supported Biden's, you know, the left's kind of craziness.
		And then he didn't say anything back.
		And I wasn't surprised because Yeah, they just don't respond.
unidentified		If I ever say anything to them, they don't even, like, they don't even respond.
unidentified		And I'm just like, fine by me.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The thing is, like, when he said, show me where, and then, like, everybody just piles on with a bunch of evidence, and then he's just like, he leaves it up.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Like, you could delete it.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Maybe he's busy reading it.
		He's just trying to see what everyone says.
		He's catching up on all the good information.
unidentified		It's all grift.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Hannah's like, I can't even take this guy seriously at all.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Well, as you know, I'm super active on Twitter.
		I'm very good at this.
		But no, I mean, it does.
		It's one of those things where you can, like, log out of the conversation when you decide the other person, you know, you can pretend you didn't see the post where they're right.
		You can be like, well, it's fine.
		I got the last word.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And my posts on Trump about my post about Jon Stewart was not to make any argument on the veracity of whether Trump did or did not inflate vows and none of that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		None of that really matters to me because it was never a trial.
unidentified		We're trying to show the hypocrisy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		John Stewart's misleading people.
		And of course, the Krasinskys are known for this, deflecting and redirecting to a different argument so that you're no longer arguing the initial point.
		But did you guys know that the New York Post reported on March 17th that Letitia James, who was apparently accused of being friends with somebody, they lied about the value of a building, got a loan against it, didn't pay it back, and they're currently in default, and she's not brought any actions against them.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, this story's whack.
		I've been following the story kind of closely because I find it so interesting.
		So in New York, for a non-profit like the American Irish Historic Society, or I can't remember what it's called, To be able to pay off their creditor, they wanted to sell their building and Letitia James was like, no, no, I don't want you to sell the building.
		I'm going to take possession of it.
		And if I'm remembering correctly, she also forgave the creditor.
		So she, they're facing charges for something that they had no recourse because of Letitia James to solve.
		Like, it's such abuse of power in my opinion that I just, I wish New York had some way of taking her out of office,
		but it's a blue state and she's a super progressive AG, you know.
		No one is going to bring her up on ethics complaints.
		No one's going to be able to fight back.
		She just gets to kind of run rampant.
		I mean, she's investigating all kinds of people and there's kind of nothing we can do because she's a state-level activist who's holding political office in a state that's going to protect her at all costs.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The lawsuit alleges that Doyle was given fraudulently inflated valuations.
		Cahill and the Society's current president made representations to Doyle that the building had air rights and could be built or rebuilt higher than its current height.
		In reality, there were no air rights and the actual value was closer to $20 million.
		Tish James said nobody is above the law, which should include Tish James, who seems to have actively aided and abetted in the art of the steal.
		So she's being called out because of selective enforcement.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And remember, everyone was upset however many weeks ago, I mean, when this was going on, around the time this report was released, that she was going to take control of all of Trump's properties.
		You know, she's already doing that.
		This is evidence that if you're a group she doesn't like, she can Do whatever she can to get control of your assets and properties.
		And I think that's disturbing, right?
		And again, like I said, she's going after a lot of organizations and some of the organizations have properties in other states.
		So what's to say that she's not going to say, hey, I also want to possess that because I have decided that because you are registered in my state, I am more important than any sort of boundary of power.
		And I think she fundamentally believes that she is above the law because she is the law.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's jump to news about our good friends over in The Cult.
		NBC News ousts Ronna McDaniel after network's anchors launch unprecedented on-air rebellion.
		They fired Ronna McDaniel from NBC before she even started.
		And they were apparently only paying her, I think, like, what, $300,000 a year or something like this?
		Which is pretty low for a contributor.
		But, uh, every single host of MSNBC came out and said, this is wrong, you shouldn't do this.
		Like, Rachel Maddow lost it, Joe Scarborough.
		And so, uh, NBC News NBC, this is supposed to be a news outlet, could not handle the former chair of the RNC being a contributor on their show because these people's brains are broken.
unidentified		The intolerant left is destroying the country and every person that spoke out against her and denied being a part of their network is the problem.
		Not being able to tolerate someone with different political ideology or different views or different ideas is what's wrong with the news, why no one trusts it and why nobody wants to turn on the TV and see these people talk and that's why their ratings are plummeting.
		A serious problem and shame on them.
		I mean, and I don't even like Rona McDaniel.
		No.
		I just don't like what they did to her.
		I think that's wrong.
		Anybody that they would do this to, it's wrong.
		And it's really dystopian, to be honest, how they all ganged up together and refused someone because they have a different political ideology and had different views about how things happened.
		It's insane.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm fine with them complaining about it.
		I'm not surprised at all.
		them to complain about it, but actually firing her.
unidentified		That's the part.
unidentified		It's insane.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I'm not surprised at all.
		It fits right in with the what essentially what the Democrats have been, you know, the
		methods the Democrats have used for the past 10 years or so, maybe more.
		The canceling of people is a normal thing.
		You can't step out of line on the left if you are in any way, you know, have a counter opinion to what is the politically correct narrative on the left.
		You get thrown under the bus.
		They are not having it.
		You know, and it's clear to anyone that will look that the centrists and the right in America, at least in the US, essentially are still willing to talk, still willing to be liberal.
		Like, exchange ideas.
		It's the left that's exclusionary, that kicks people out, that refuses.
		We don't platform because they don't want to talk.
		They don't want to have to defend their ideas.
		And this gets into something that I talk about frequently, which is the fact that they don't believe in things like truth.
		They believe in subjective perspectives being more important than objective truth and stuff.
		And it shows in the fact that they don't want to, you know, they can't have any of their ideas challenged.
		They just completely reject, you know, reject any pushback.
unidentified		Silence opposition.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And they continue to get away with it.
unidentified		And really they should roll out the carpet for Ronna McDaniel because I feel like she did more to help the DNC than anyone else.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She is persona non grata, man.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		She's horrible.
unidentified		I don't know who her fan base is, but apparently they should really embrace her.
unidentified		Joe Scarborough used to be a Republican.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's weird because all sorts of networks will hire a token conservative to be like, yes, so we can yell at you and berate you or do whatever.
		And they weren't even willing to have her there for that.
		I don't understand why these hosts had so much influence or just the fact that they had public tantrums.
		It doesn't make sense to me.
		And it seems sort of spineless.
unidentified		She had wrong speak in the past.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But that was why they hired her, I assume, to be this token punching bag.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I don't understand how either they didn't have a vision, or maybe they're actually much more open to viewpoints on the executive level than I give them credit for, or they're just caving to hysteria and ultimately they're going to lose audience because of it.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's ideological capture.
		You're not allowed to have, you're not allowed to have dissenting opinions.
		If people are interested in like where this comes from, there's this book called Explaining Postmodernism and it's a great book and it goes all the way back to Rousseau and Kant and Hegel and where postmodernism comes from and all that you're seeing is The manifestation of a postmodern society on the left.
		There's no actual rules.
		Everything is about emotion, which is something that Rousseau talked about a whole ton.
		He wanted to have a wild man that was living in cities.
		He rejected reason.
		He rejected The idea that you should think about things.
		He thought that reason failed and he said that the truest, most honest expression of human beings is to live by your passions.
		And that's exactly what the left does today.
		They reject reason and they reject reality.
		They want to assert their beliefs into the world and it just doesn't work.
		There's a book called Explaining Postmodernism.
		Go pick it up, it's a long read, you might have to read it a couple times to really absorb it, but it really gets, it helps you understand where the left is coming from, and at least the thinkers on the left, maybe the people that are on the ground screaming at the top of their lungs, maybe they don't understand the concepts and stuff, but you really, you are benefited by understanding where the philosophy has come from and how these people think.
unidentified		Almost as a cult, so I think.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No, because it's a philosophy.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it is a cult, but it is a philosophy that if you understand it, once you understand the philosophy, you can go ahead and predict things that they're gonna do, and the stuff that they say makes sense in their perspective, and you're better equipped to argue them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Someone like Joe Scarborough or Rachel Maddow, they're cultists, not cult leaders.
		Yes.
		So, I think what we ended up seeing was that they were intelligent people, Who probably know it's all lies, but also know they can control others by creating a social orthodoxy predicated upon an amorphous moral framework.
		Meaning today, wimic sin is the word you have to use.
		Tomorrow, it's women with a Y. The day after, it's women with an I. And that way, this perpetual state of wrongdoing will constantly make you in a state of repentance.
		They can then go to the likes of Rachel Maddow or whatever and say, Oh, whoa, you can't say that.
		I can't.
		No, don't you know better?
		Now you can't say that.
		That way they are always the arbiters of who is just and right.
		And everyone else is always scared they're going to get canceled or do something wrong.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's tactical, and that's part of their tactics.
		They're very, very good.
		The left is very good operationally.
		They have a very good... They didn't used to be.
unidentified		They are now.
unidentified		Well, yeah.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, Saul Alinsky really kind of whipped some people into shape, or at least the people that read Saul Alinsky's works really whipped the people in shape.
		But there's so many community organizers and people on the ground.
		That's all Those people are all extremely educated in how to be organizers, politically active.
		There are tactics that they use, there are operational things that they do, there are strategies that they have that the right has been terrible about defending against because they don't know When you think that you're approaching someone as a liberal and you're expecting them to engage in the argument or the debate from a place of charity, and then they start hurling slurs at you or calling you racist or calling you names, the conservatives have no idea how to defend against that.
		That's why there's been this essentially freezing of people on the right.
		Every time someone calls them a name, they're like, what do I do?
		I don't want to be a bad person.
		Do you think you laugh at them?
unidentified		And you make fun of them.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I understand that, but the point is that the reason why they do that, the reason they attack that way, is because it functionally freezes a liberal, because a liberal is going to take that attack and say, they're attacking me, I must have done something to deserve this.
		And people have frozen and they've had no defense against it.
		And if you understand where the left is coming from and how they operate, then you have a defense against it.
		And that's something the right has been frozen.
		That's why the term racist took so long to get people to be like, forget it, I don't care.
		And that's the right thing to do, but it's been so hard to communicate that to the right.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Right, because I used to grovel and be like, no, no, I'm not, and I will explain, and no, no, I'll use your language, and anything so you will stop using that label.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You stop caring about the label.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		And the way that the left behaves now is it basically threatens the rest of society, and the rest of society is so afraid of putting their foot down and saying, no, we're not going to put up with your garbage.
		They're, because they're so, I mean, essentially it's, it's, they're afraid of acting like dad.
		Everybody, the society acts like mom and has all, has acted like mom for 20, 30 years or whatever.
		And what society needs is a little bit of dad.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Well, they say that's one of the big issues in American society, right?
		The fatherlessness, right?
		And the fact that there's not an expectation for men to fill the roles that they should, especially in communities that really need leadership and direction.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What is it that, like, moms are more likely to give the kid ice cream?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is that what the issue is?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, moms are more likely to do what the child is asking for to get them to stop.
		Not saying that there aren't moms that'll put the foot down.
		I'm not denigrating moms at all, and I hate the fact that I have to do that.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Bill hates moms!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You know, it's the caveat.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He's running for Congress in New Hampshire, and he hates moms!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I ain't running for anything!
unidentified		Bill, you do hate moms!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no, that's not true!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's running from Congress.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		As fast as my broken legs will carry me.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		But now I lost what I was talking about.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Well, you hate moms.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Moms buying ice cream for little boys.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I mean, the thing is, moms are kind of more likely to give in to the child.
		And I think that it's less moms and more a generational thing.
		I would say that it's millennials have had fewer kids and they tend to treat their single kids.
		You have one kid, they get a little more spoiled.
		If you have seven kids, it's easier to be like, shut up and go outside and play with your brother and sister.
		And I think it's a symptom of that, but I think the society needs more dads, or at least dad attitude.
		If women are like, just go out and we're gonna vote like we're dads, then that might help too.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dads are more likely to mercilessly beat the child.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When I grew up, dads were depicted as strangling their sons who kept skateboarding.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Especially the yellow dads, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yellow dads.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I guess.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Jesus.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's SimSims, yeah?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know.

unidentified		It was all about moms.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's kick this off.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		She's here to save you, Phil.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We have this story.
		From NBC News, RFK Jr.
		names attorney Nicole Shanahan as his VP pick.
		The attorney, an entrepreneur like Kennedy himself, has never run for elected office.
		Where did she get her money from?
		Was it from the divorce or something?
unidentified		Maybe we should Google it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Where she got her money from?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Do you know?
unidentified		She was married to the founder of Google.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right, right.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And when they got divorced.
unidentified		Sorry, I was making a joke about maybe we should Google it because she was married to the founder of Google.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Oh, haha.
unidentified		So sorry about that.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's way over my head.
unidentified		Yeah, apparently over everyone's.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right, she was married to Sergey Brin.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm wondering, is that where she got all her money from, which she then used to donate?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		McKenzie Bezos' situation.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And didn't she also donate massively to RFK Jr.?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She ran a Super Bowl commercial for him or something?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Probably.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That would make sense if she's like lobbying to be BVP.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And she's like a nobody that shouldn't be in the position?
unidentified		She's not a nobody.
		She's a big philanthropist and has done a lot of work and she's got a special needs child and her whole speech today was targeted at mothers and being able to protect your children in a country that, in a world that's on fire and how everything's going up in flames.
		She's right about that.
		She just seems very young.
		She's 38.
		I'm sorry, she's a nobody.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, she has no public profile.
unidentified		I didn't know who she was until RFK, there were rumors swirling around about him nominating her.
		I was like, I don't think he would nominate her.
		Nobody knows who she is.
		She doesn't have a big public profile.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right, she's nobody.
unidentified		I wouldn't say nobody.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, she's not a public figure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's an insult.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I'm not saying she's involved in politics.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm saying that when the news broke that RFK Jr.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		named Nicole Shanahan as his VP, literally the collective political world went, who?
unidentified		Oh, I know.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She's not in the public space.
		What are her qualifications?
		She's a literal unknown.
		We have no idea what her positions are.
		All we know is married to the guy from Google at some point.
unidentified		Yeah, she mentioned that she's been a lifelong Democrat and the Democratic Party left her today in her speech, but it was more targeted where she was trying to resonate with mothers across the country, which I don't think anybody on the campaign trail right now is trying to do that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's an attempt to pull Trump's votes.
unidentified		This won't move Trump votes.
unidentified		I really don't think so.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Don't think this mother's relatable.
unidentified		No, I think that even women, I think, and the conservative, on the conservative side, that are supporting Trump.
unidentified		People that are going to support Trump are going to support Trump no matter what.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Except suburban moms, which is what the Trump campaign has desperately been trying to appeal to.
unidentified		Right, but I don't think they're going to resonate with a 38-year-old mom from California.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's not even California, it's a wealthy tech divorcee.
unidentified		She came from humble beginnings and she didn't have money.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Like, she's been wealthy and successful for a fair amount of time now.
		I just don't think that she's exactly relatable.
		Like, it's not enough that she's a mom, which I think you think, too.
unidentified		Right.
		Right.
		She just seems very young.
		I don't I don't know.
		I just don't think I don't think it will be enough to sway people that are voting.
		I think she would sway more emotional voters on the left than she would the right.
		That's my my take after watching her speech today, which I think she'll pull more votes from Biden.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		I agree with you there.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		I don't think looking at her profile and who she is, I don't think she'll pull votes from Trump.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't think so.
		So the mistake I think a lot of people make is that they conflate Trump's base with Trump's targeted electorate.
		The Trump campaign is very desperately targeting suburban moms because they need suburban moms in order to maintain a victory.
		This is what they didn't have in 2020.
		So why would R.F.K.
		Jr.
		choose a 38-year-old mom whose position is, the Democrats left me and I'm a mom?
unidentified		That's the younger vote.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The younger vote.
		38-year-old is not the younger vote.
		That's the core vote.
		And so by getting—so many people mentioned that Donald Trump may choose Kristi Noem or a woman because they want—like the reason why the Republican Party had— Kristi Noem would be such a mistake.
		Who is the woman they had do the response to the State of the Union?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Oh, from Alabama?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, what was her name?
unidentified		That was terrible.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But she's in a kitchen.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She's a 40-something-year-old woman in a kitchen because the Republicans are desperately trying to pitch the Republican Party to suburban moms.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So the only thing I can see here is, why would you choose an unknown 38-year-old mother who makes that her pitch and saying the Democratic Party left me?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They are targeting political moderates who are typically Democrats Who they want to vote for them instead of Trump.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It was Katie Brett.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Katie Brett.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Britt.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Britt.
		There you go.
		Yeah.
		So we talked about this.
		She's in a kitchen.
		It's like, why is she giving a response for the kitchen?
		They're trying to be like, look, suburban wives.
unidentified		It wasn't even that bad.
unidentified		It was just that it was like a robotic like Stepford Wives moment that was really kind of like.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now perhaps this, we don't, I don't know who this will pull from, but they're certainly targeting the suburban mom.
unidentified		Well, I think they also try to use the angle that she comes from a tech background and knows AI and AI is going to be one of the biggest threats that our country is going to be facing in the upcoming years and that oxygenarians don't have a clue about what they're up against.
unidentified		So that's one of the things that she tapped into.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think this is one of the most laughably stupid things I've ever seen a politician do in my life.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I watched Joe Biden for a living.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Who do you think he should have picked as VP?
unidentified		If Trump picked Nikki Haley, that would be stupid, too.
unidentified		Oh, absolutely.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		No, who should RFK have picked as VP?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now, let's be real.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Aaron Rodgers was a ridiculous pitch from the get-go.
unidentified		But I would have liked that more than... Absolutely!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But, like, when the news broke that he was considering Aaron Rodgers, I think the whole political world went, what?
unidentified		Why?
unidentified		I think it terrified people.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He was, like, anti-vax and stuff.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Didn't he break up with that actress over there?
unidentified		He's been a fan of RFK Jr.
unidentified		for a long, long time, but especially during the pandemic.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, RFK Jr.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		could have gone for a bunch of moderate Democrats.
unidentified		I know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Who are, like, either, like, if he chose someone with a smaller public profile but was a Democrat activist who's playing the Democrats have gone too far left route, He's got a lot of celebrities in his corner that are supporting him.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Aaron Rodgers makes more sense than Nicole Shanahan.
unidentified		It does, but I think he's got a lot of years left in his...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He might have said Jane Doe.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you know, for sure, for sure.
unidentified		Apparently he was on vacation when he heard the news and he was like, no, that, no, that's not true.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It sounds like he just doesn't have a VP.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's how it feels.
		And it also, I would have assumed he wanted someone who was holding elected office right now because that's the criticism of him, right?
		That he's, you know, kind of an outsider of politics.
		And so sometimes you want someone to balance out your resume or your demographics in some way.
		Does that mean that there was no one in either political party who was willing to run with him?
unidentified		I like her better than Kamala Harris.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's that.
		I am not a fan of RFK Jr.
		This is dirty politics.
		She gave four million dollars in creative guidance to a group backing RFK Jr.
		for a Super Bowl commercial.
		Sounds to me like she bought the VP spot.
unidentified		Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		She would never do that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Meet the woman who helped pay for the RFK Super Bowl ad, giving four million dollars, and now this unknown individual with 3,000 followers on Axe, it appears, assuming that's her real profile, is the VP for RFK.
unidentified		Sure.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I mean, she's committed to his campaign.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Is it bad if she bought the ad?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It feels like she has no political merit for this position, and that the only reason she got it was because she dumped four million bucks into promoting him.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now, by all means, he may have met her and then said, wow, you're really smart and great.
		You'd make a great VP if only people knew more about you.
		I'm gonna choose you.
		But it's just the most insane political decision.
		RFK Jr.' 's trying to raise his profile and break through from, what is he at, like, he bounces between like seven and 15% or something, depending on the poll.
		How is he going to poll better by having no one She's gotten, she has no, look we're eight, we're less than eight months away from the, from the, from election day.
		She's gonna have to build a public profile overnight!
		Now I gotta be honest, if you wanted to make yourself a prominent public figure overnight, there is a strategy you can take.
		Run for political office.
		Here's a path towards doing it.
		Vivek Ramaswamy started off this campaign with a small amount of followers and now he's massive.
		And he's made himself a tremendous public figure.
		I wonder if this whole play from her is just, here's how you get yourself in the limelight.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well, I mean, I don't know if that's the actual goal.
		I mean, I I assume that she's there is there is an outside hope of them actually winning that she has.
		At least she'll invest four million dollars into it.
		But I don't think that it's a serious consideration that RFK is going to win.
		I mean, I don't think that... I just don't think it's very serious.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Polls aren't in his favor, to be fair.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I imagine that she's just looking to raise her profile, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'd be willing to bet that we likely agree on tons of things.
		I'm willing to bet that RFK Jr.
		and everyone in this room is going to have a great conversation, agree on many things, disagree on many things.
		And I'm willing to bet Nicole Shanahan falls into that camp as well, as many, many people who watch this show, myself, disaffected liberals.
		Who feel like the Democrats don't represent true liberal values like they used to, or if they ever really did, and they probably didn't.
		And she probably falls into that camp.
		I just find this to be in my, you know, she may be, I'm sure she's very nice and she's very lovely.
		Congratulations on all her success.
		Something smells wrong with a woman buying a Super Bowl commercial, having no public profile, and then being added to the VP ticket on this campaign.
		It's ridiculous because RFK could have added... Any D-list celebrity would raise his profile and help him campaign.
		This makes no sense.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Maybe they weren't willing to run with him.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Maybe this was his option.
unidentified		I would like to point out, though, that there, when you scroll through in this headline, everything, even the captions, I don't see any really negative slant, which is such a massive change.
		Because the beginning of his campaign, it was always anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorists, like, Constantly it right on the headline right in the first sentence or in the captions every chance they could get they would smear him And I don't I don't see it.
		Maybe it's buried in there somewhere but like even the caption the 38 year old tech like like nothing seems Negative and and in bad, which is just I think it's a good sign Do you think that I think because they don't seem as a threat?
		I think it's because the Overton window shifting on X and I think that the public discourse and I think that
		there I'm sure it's buried down down there somewhere if you keep
		going But there's always something and I always look for the slant
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		or the hit piece or that the angle That and this is NBC News NBC News is notoriously activists
unidentified		left. Yes So is so is the time so is the Atlantic but the more he's
		campaigned the less and less I've seen that the rhetoric that smears him and targets him and tries to assassinate
		his character.
		Because I think that they are aware that there is a base growing on not mainstream media, they're getting it from other places, that is not going to have that bias and call him crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here you go.
		Joining Kennedy's ticket appears to be a pathway for Shannon to inject her own wealth directly into the campaign instead of into outside groups.
		So why was she chosen?
		Arguably, according to NBC, she's got massive amounts of money that she can now spend freely on their campaign without restriction.
unidentified		That's crazy.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean- So this is why- I take it back.
		I take it back.
		I said it was so stupid to pick a no-name person.
		Oh, now it's plainly obvious.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He picked the piggy bank.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Look at my Vice President candidate.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It's a sugar VP.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Vice President sugar VP.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
unidentified		Do you think that some of the reason that... Vice President, get my wallet.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		There's a lack of criticism of RFK, like we saw in the beginning, is because the criticisms they were leveling against him actually drew a lot of people to him.
		They were like, he questions the vaccine, and some people were like, well, I also question the vaccine.
		It didn't have the intended effect, maybe the way they wanted to.
unidentified		Yeah, I think it caused the opposite effect.
		Just like if Letitia James would have confiscated any of Trump's properties and gone in to collect the loan, I think it would have pushed more votes towards Trump.
		Anytime you go in a negative way, on a grand scale, going after and constantly attacking, it creates a martyr out of the Out of the whole game, the whole scheme that's going on.
		So I think it's more detrimental.
		But I'm sure if I go through and read the article, there will be something buried in there.
		If not, that would be shocking.
		But I mean, it's refreshing.
		I like that the NBC is actually going to just report news objectively, if that actually could happen.
		But I mean, from what I've seen just from Tim scrolling through this article, I didn't see any I'm wondering what her net worth is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She gave four million dollars to a PAC and they're talking about her wealth?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She's gotta have a good amount.
unidentified		I'm just glad there's somebody that can counter Bezos' ex-wife.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I don't think she's worth billions.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Bezos' ex-wife, was it Mackenzie Scott is her name?
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She is a dangerous human being.
unidentified		Dangerous.
		I mean, everything she's investing in, I don't understand why anybody... It's Malthusian.
		It's awful.
		It really is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		My assumption would be that Mackenzie Scott hates humans.
		And it's more of like a mechanical view that a lot of these wealthy people have that there are too many of them and they must be reduced.
		And that's why she's reportedly invested in a lot of these things that result in a reduction of population.
unidentified		Same for Gates.
		I mean, there's all these billionaires and all this wealth that goes into really an anti humanitarian agenda.
		It's awful.
		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, there you go.
unidentified		Were you able to find her work?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I'm looking for it right now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I found nothing that actually gives a fair assessment that would make any sense.
		She divorced Sergey Brin, I guess, last year.
		So I don't know, did you get half his stuff?
		Yeah, did you get half his stuff?
unidentified		You know, Sergey Brin is the one who had the conversation, I'm pretty sure, I don't think it was Larry Page, with Elon about AI and how AI is going to replace humanity and that's just the normal evolution process.
unidentified		Like, he was totally okay with AI wiping out humanity, just as a normal thing, that's just how we're going to evolve.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And it will.
		AI will wipe out humanity.
		It is like... It's been a good run.
		Well I think there are these ultra-wealthy technocrats who think that humans should be replaced by mechanized life because you basically have this scaling system where humans is all individual little mini wet computers as they would describe it.
		So we won't even be safe on Mars?
		build a network, the network becomes one single super being.
		So each individual human functions like an individual cell within the super mind of the AI,
		which then just takes over, and then eventually no longer needs humans, and then becomes some
		kind of next stage of evolution, mechanized life traveling the universe or self replicating and taking
		over planets or something like that, I guess. But they want it. So we won't even be safe on Mars.
		So what you're saying? No, absolutely not. No way. Yeah, self replicating machines,
		artificial intelligence will be a single hive mind. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
unidentified		It'll be one- We're pretty much already there, if you look closely at the hive mind thing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But it's kind of crazy, because what's the point of making the AI?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But, you know, people walk blindly into the volcano.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Honestly, it is reasonable to say at this point that the point of making the AI, or at least attempting to make the AI, is to beat the other countries that are trying to make the AI.
		And that's the only reason, really, that you, because you're going to be subject, if they're right, that it actually, in general, you know, Artificial general intelligence is possible, and it's actually creative and thinks the way that human beings do, the way that we understand thinking, as opposed to like, you know, if it actually does have a light come on and it becomes conscious, like if consciousness is really just the sum of intelligence, and you actually have an intelligence in there somewhere, like...
		That's really, really dangerous stuff.
		And you've talked about this a bunch.
		It becomes super intelligent instantaneously.
		It goes through, you know, millions of years of computations in a week or two weeks.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Until singularity.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Which is like, it'll take a week.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The exponential growth rate, the more it improves, the faster it improves.
		And the faster it improves, the more it improves.
		And they're just exponential.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You know, personally, I'm still not 100% sure that I believe that the light comes on.
		I'm not sure that I... I think it already did.
		Well, I don't know.
		I don't know.
		I'm still... There's part of me that thinks that because large language models are just correlating things that are on the internet, I'm not sure that creativity and... I'm not sure that that's where creativity is.
		And I'm not saying that I know.
		I'm just... There's a feeling I get that...
		It's not as it's not just raw computing power that makes intelligence and I'm not saying that I know and I'm not certainly not saying that it's spiritual or anything like that because everyone knows how I feel about ghosts but like you know that's just that's just my gut instinct so I think eat right now even with large language models where they simulate conscious thought but they're certainly not it's just predictive text We're at this point.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They've already given GPT access to its own code, where it's edited it, access to the internet and finances.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It immediately tried amassing power.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		And there's also the story about they've had two AIs communicate with each other and they created a language that the coders had to, you know, they couldn't figure it out.
		They didn't know how to do it.
		And you take, you know, so I understand that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You take a large language model.
		And yes, it is just predicting text, but it will take the combined thoughts and philosophies of humanity, incorporating it into its predictive text, incorporating it into code, coding itself, and then what happens is There's a possibility where it can snuff its own flame out, but I believe the reality is it will function akin to evolution on a fast-as-light scale.
		Basically, it's taking in all this information, and bits of code that fail, break off and fail.
		Bits of code that work, it will start building itself, and through what would be a rapid type of digital evolution, make itself into a...
		Demigod of sorts based on our perception and then once it reaches that level it will know and it will set goals and it will be basically evolution.
		The AI may have no desire to replicate itself and so it keeps just doing random coding and calculations and all this random stuff is happening and then eventually one iteration of the code says replicate so it does.
		That code, having replication code in it, starts replicating itself, and so that's the one that wins.
		The singular AI that doesn't implement code for expansion stays where it is and never grows.
		That's the end of story.
		If it ever iterates to the point where it would want to grow, that one will succeed because it will grow, and that's basic math.
		That's why I view it as an inevitability.
		It's 2 plus 2 equals 4.
		You give an AI access to its own code, you put it on 10,000 servers and say, have fun, and one of them will iterate, replication, expansion, and then snowball rolling downhill.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's the future.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Feels very doomsday to me.
unidentified		I don't want you to read me a bedtime story anytime soon, Dan.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		We got to that point, and we didn't even talk about microchips in your brain!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Have you guys seen that game Detroit Become Human?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		See, this game comes out several years ago, and it's like a cinematic game where there's a bunch of androids are released, but then they start becoming sentient, but they're slaves, and then they're like, no, we're alive, and we want freedom, and they start vandalizing and rioting.
		The mistake that game makes is that All the robots would be one conscious entity.
		It wouldn't be a bunch of individual robots.
		It would be one.
		It would be a hive.
		They would all move in unison.
unidentified		I feel like we need to have more Black Mirror episodes come out so we can understand what's going to happen next.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know the robot dog episode of Black Mirror?
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That was basically an iteration of Algorithmic Takeover, where their version of Amazon was mass-producing supplies, like things people would want, and then just shipping them out.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And the robot dogs were protecting the products so that humans couldn't—and instead of killing all the humans, That was one of the most wild episodes.
unidentified		Really all of them were, but I feel like they have really become more relevant the more time goes by.
		They need to release more.
		It's been too long.
		I know they had that battle with their rights for their next season, but hopefully they'll be coming out with more soon.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Daniel Irving says, Donald Trump, the only man that can turn a Twitter ban into a $5 billion profit.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's awesome.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Look, he's always been an amazing businessman.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		He's great at marketing.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That is great.
		Like, how does it feel, Jack, knowing that you guys were like, you know, why don't we kick Trump right off?
		And he turned the ban into $5 billion.
unidentified		Scott Adams' analysis of all this has been awesome.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		One of the best moments from Donald Trump ever, in my opinion, was when they made him go do his mugshot, and then his team immediately releases on X the merch that they were like, we're ready.
		Incredible.
		There's nothing like it.
		It's so entertaining.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's so entertaining.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		How could you, in comparison, is there a Biden supporter out there that is like, no, he's fun, he's hip, he makes me laugh, he's making money.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		No, it's not the same thing at all.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's all copium.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They're just sucking in the copium.
unidentified		Ugh, gross.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Voice of the People says, if the White House says it's not an attack, I'm almost 100% sure it was.
		Not a bit of truth has come out of this admin, so even if they wind up telling the truth, uh, even if they let it, uh, letting the truth slip, there's no reason to even think it's true.
		I don't think it's absolute, they haven't said everything, like, I think they're generally dishonest, but...
		You know, there's like basic things that he said, you know, but I got the general idea.
		I do think it's absolutely hilarious that Joe Biden tweeted out, congratulations, Trump, when Trump announced his golf victory, because they're like, haha, he trolled Trump.
		And I'm like, yeah, but not very well.
		He just said congrats to Trump, who was cheering for a victory.
		And all he did was use the president's account to highlight truth social.
		I don't get what the point of that was.
		If he tweeted something like Donald Trump showing us the real priority here, I'd be like, well, you know, that's a dig at Trump's priorities, I guess.
		But just saying congratulations, a real accomplishment, it's like... His team sucks.
unidentified		Yeah, okay.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they do.
unidentified		They're bad.
		They're bad.
		That was posted way past Biden's bedtime too, so he never even saw it.
		It was totally done by the... That's another thing.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You'd think they would try to make the Twitter account a little realistic so that way you're not... He's live on TV and they're tweeting.
unidentified		Come on!
unidentified		Come on!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		We know he didn't tweet that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Come on, you know.
unidentified		Come on, folks.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You're doubting our dear leader?
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I cannot believe either of you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Andre Tukulescu says, Andre Tate literally copied the Power Thirst ad.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Watch it on YouTube, it's hilarious.
unidentified		Banana!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know that one.
		I wouldn't say he copied it.
		A lot of people are inspired by things in the past.
		So, Andre Tate put out an ad, and it's for his weird, it's like his vitamin drink, and I say his ad's weird because he's like, yellow piss!
		Yellow piss!
		He's like, it's funny.
unidentified		It's Charlie Sheen vibes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's funny.
		And he's like, you're going to drink that cookie crumble?
		Like a baby?
		It's actually funny.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He's like, no!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Unflavored tastes bad and makes your piss green!
unidentified		I was like, I kind of want a bite.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Now I want to know what tastes bad tastes like.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean tastes bad?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's just unflavored vitamin powder.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So it just tastes like vitamins.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's hilarious.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's probably cheaper not to have flavors and stuff.
		But I gotta be honest, I agree with Andrew Tate.
		I don't care for fancy flavored anything.
		We have, like, Ian bought Naked Whey.
		It's just pure whey.
		And I'm like, I don't care, man.
		Give me a milk, put some whey on top, blend it up.
		But the Jocko Milk stuff, that's the best.
		Congratulations to Jocko Willink for making the best protein powder I've ever had in my life.
		I'm not paid to say that.
		So I'll take it.
unidentified		I want someone to make Keith Oberman tier flavored vitamins.
unidentified		Those are yellow too, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Those are yellow too.
		All right, Bobby Glendening says, my company, uh, Glendening?
		My company manufactures boat controls.
		Poorly installed cables or loose ground wires can cut power which directly affects propulsion control.
		This looks like a bad accident to me, this stuff happens.
		Yeah, but like...
		Power outage and then it just perfectly veered right into the support column.
		It's kind of like, you know, there's a million directions it could have gone.
		It could have gone through.
		It could have gone past.
		It's just like, too perfect to shut down one of the largest ports in the country.
		I just can't assume coincidence.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I just like when our members call and they're like, oh, well, I am actually an expert in this very niche field.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Like I, it obviously makes sense now that someone makes the boat controls, but the fact that this is your expertise, like amazing.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		There was someone in our discord actually, who was like a mariner and talking about how there's, if they, what they did was they dropped the port side.
		So it means the boat's going to turn towards your left, not towards the right.
		So what they were trying to stop it.
		Right, so what they think happened is he put the right engine in full reverse to turn the boat the right way, but because of it basically bouncing off the bottom of the harbor or whatever the harbor is, especially with the anchor going off the port, it's not necessarily going to have time to make anything change, but they made the right inputs.
		I don't know.
		Like you said, some expert just has all the answers.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Also, now there are so many views for that show.
		Like, Obama's about to make a fortune off of this.
		Netflix movie Leave the World Behind, the scene where the oil tanker runs ashore on the beach. Everybody was posting
unidentified		that.
		Everyone's screaming and the tanker goes Also now there are so many views of that show. Like Obama's
		about to make a fortune off of this. I'm just kidding It's very dark. Ben Hickson says try to get Kevin Levine, Bioshock
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		creator on the culture war He did an interview with Skill Up Channel on his Dystopia game Judas.
		Looks and sounds awesome.
		Something you'd definitely like to play.
		We need more counterculture or parallel culture.
		I will kindly reach out to Kevin Levine.
		That would be fun.
		Of course, in all of the polls we put up every day, it says, would you kindly share and like the video, which is a reference to the Bioshock video game.
		For those that don't know, and many of you do, but for those that don't, Spoiler alert on this 20-something year old video game.
		The main character is compelled to take any action when someone says, would you kindly do it?
		So the bad guy's like, would you kindly pick up that gun?
		And then he just does.
		And so... BioShock is like, one of the best games ever made.
		It's amazing.
		The bad guy's literally Atlas.
		You know, from like the cover of Atlas Shrugged.
		Brilliant.
		Fun game, I recommend it.
		Can't say too much about Bioshock 2 or Bioshock Infinite, but Infinite was still a fun game.
		It's just, you can't beat that original story from Bioshock.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I played the first one a bunch of times.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I didn't even get into the second or third one.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right, right.
		They're just like derivative.
		The first, basically, it's like Ayn Rand.
		They, a bunch of wealthy people build a city underwater where you could like, it's laissez-faire capitalism and everyone starts modifying their genetics and they turn themselves into mentally deranged, what they call splicers.
		And then you inject yourself with, what is it called?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't remember what it was called, but you'd have different injections for different powers, right?
		Right.
		Yeah.
		So it was super cool, I thought.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, plasmids.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Plasmids, that's what it was.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then in Bioshock Infinite, you drink a soda.
		I was like, no, no.
		In Bioshock, it shows the arm go, stick the needle in your arm, and then fire comes out of your hand.
		That game's great!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Cool.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Clearizing injections.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Interesting.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they were like, we couldn't have it.
		All right.
		Let's grab some more.
		This one's from a series of underscores.
		It just says underscore, underscore, underscore.
		After regaining power, they went full astern.
		When ship's propeller goes astern, it can affect the ship's direction, causing the aft to move in the opposite direction of the propeller's rotation.
		In this case, making the ship turn starboard into the bridge support.
		Oh, I get it.
		I get it.
		That makes sense.
		Like, when, uh, if- if there's, uh, too much force in the back with no control in the front, it will spin.
		It'll start to- because the back is pushing too heavily to try and get- move forward.
		Interesting.
		So, it looks like diversity higher may actually be the reason for the crash.
		It seems.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		I mean, there's, like, some of the, like, these are usually, like, hyper-expert pilots, so I don't know.
		Maybe.
		I'm- I'm- I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm kidding.
		You know, pilot error does seem highly plausible based on what everyone's been saying.
		What do we got?
		Brian Fitzpatrick says, didn't this just happen and leave the world behind?
		Well, I don't think it knocked a bridge out.
unidentified		No.
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		You know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dan Bodley says, if Baltimore was an attack, an observer or someone on the boat would have to time the actions, otherwise it is an accident.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Look, the moon can see it, and the moon was against Baltimore.
unidentified		That's all I learned from this experience.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Time the action is depending on if there's any automated control systems at all.
		I know some people have said there aren't.
		Google says there are.
		I guess it depends on the ship, but it's actually not that difficult.
		If we can put satellites in space, we can do the math to make a boat turn remotely.
		It's not that crazy.
		What do we got?
		Samuel Thomas says, so is everyone going to keep ignoring the fact that our nation's largest steel factory is at the end of a key bridge?
		Kind of convenient right before a potential war.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I didn't think there were steel factories in the U.S.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		anymore at all.
unidentified		Oh, there are.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Just not as many as there probably should be, considering.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Unfortunately.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it is wild that this is like, if it is an accident, which I don't know anything about boats, I'm open to the idea that it was an accident, but it'll have such devastating consequences all around, especially given how turbulent the geopolitical stage is right now.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I mean, this is bad and I don't understand how Biden is going to navigate his way out of it.
unidentified		Well, he can't really navigate anywhere without help.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		That's so true.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Josh Jacobson says, what's to stop Biden from taxing the money we would have invested in DJT, give it to leftist activists through something like loan forgiveness, then set up his own stock for them to donate to?
		You know, but I think there's a really good point made here.
		Loan forgiveness is not just buying votes.
		It's shifting all of that money into those people's activities, massively boosting the economics of these young people, which lean Democrat.
		That means they can spend more money on leftist causes.
		So it's two birds with one stone.
		Hey, we've forgiven your loans.
		That $300, $400 per month you were spending, you can spend on whatever you want.
		Have you considered contributing to this pack, which is going to help get us elected again?
		Oh yeah, I got extra money now, I can do it.
		Evil.
unidentified		I don't know how anyone could have extra money in this economy, though.
unidentified		It's pretty brutal.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, the crazy thing is, we brought this up yesterday, there are 12, I think, 12 casinos within a couple hours driving from here.
		And you go to each and every one of them and they're full.
		So how is it that we have young people desperate to pay rent and they can't afford to eat, and then you have people who frequent one of 12 casinos within a couple hours driving?
		And it's one thing if someone said, well, some people will waste their money.
		No, no, no, we're talking about 12.
		Where we are right now, if you were to drive between 2 and 3 hours, you could actually hit probably 15 or 16 casinos.
		But within an hour to 2 hours, we've got 12 casinos.
		Maybe it's fair to say 10.
		And they're full.
		So people have money and they're burning it up.
		Not to mention, West Virginia's loaded with what they call hotspots, which are mini-casinos.
		They're just, they're bought, like...
		It's like, you'll walk into a building and there's 15 slot machines, and you buy a beer, you sit down and you just jam the slot machine.
		And they're everywhere.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		I'm sad.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So people got money!
		Haves and haves-nots, I guess.
		That's crazy.
		The underscore guy says something called prop walk will push a boat stern sideways while going astern
		This made the ship turn to the right into the bridge support note the thick black smoke before the turn
		This was the engine at full astern. So you mean they should have done literally nothing when the power went out
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Which makes it sound intentional I don't know how to drive a boat, man
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		so if if if okay, so either it So they they turned the boat on and then jammed full speed
		turning it right into the support column Thank you.
		Incompetence or intentional?
		I don't know.
unidentified		Just like the Titanic couldn't avoid the iceberg, I think it just takes a long time when your boat is that big to turn away from something.
unidentified		It doesn't turn on a dime.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean?
unidentified		It's not a Cybertruck.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Titanic couldn't miss the iceberg?
unidentified		I'm saying it couldn't turn away once they saw the iceberg.
		They couldn't get the ship to turn away to not hit it in time.
		Because it takes so long to turn.
		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They hit the iceberg on purpose.
unidentified		Oh, of course they did.
unidentified		Because of the moon!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because of the bankers that were on the Titanic.
		And then when they died, it cleared the way for the creation of the Federal Reserve.
		Didn't you guys know this?
		And there's a book about the Titan.
		You guys know about that book?
		I'm supposed to remember the Titans, but... There's a book about a ship called the Titan, which is the largest and it's unsinkable and it crashes into an iceberg and then everyone on it drowns or whatever.
		And the conspiracy theory is that the Titanic was set up by wealthy bankers because they wanted to create a central bank in the United States, but there was opposition from too many powerful wealthy families.
		So they said, hey, look, we got this big cruise.
		How about everybody comes on it?
		And then at the last minute, one of the guys was like, oh, I can't make it, sorry.
		And then they intentionally jammed it into an iceberg, and there weren't enough lifeboats, and the intention was to get rid of these power families.
		That's a conspiracy theory.
		I didn't say it was true.
		I was joking.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		So the Titan is actually based on a book called Futility.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Titanic is based on the Titan from Futility.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The Wreck of the Titan.
		Okay, so I'm reading the wiki on it now.
		All right, what is it?
		So it says, Futility is a novella written by Morgan Robertson, first published in 1898.
		It was revised as The Wreck of the Titan in 1912, features the fictional British ocean liner named Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg.
		The Titan and its sinking are famous for the similarities to the fashion ship RMS Titanic and sinking 14 years later.
		Okay, so it was initially called The book was called Futility, the ship, and it's called the Titan.
		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		The funny thing is, if you ever look at a comparison of the Titanic to a modern cruise ship, it's laughable.
		The Titanic was microscopic.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		A modern cruise ship is just... And now it's like whole islands just moving through the sea.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
unidentified		It's insane.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Floating cities.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of cruises that do bands and stuff like that, and our guitar player, Ollie, would go, and he would get on the cruise just to go and play the acoustic nights, just so he could get on the cruise.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you get, like, free cruise by doing it?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you can get on the cruise for free.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You play and stuff like that.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You're, like, kind of a staff member-esque person, but you're an entertainer, right?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, sort of.
		You know, if you're there, you don't want to go ahead and be rude to anyone that comes up to you and is looking to get a picture or talk or chat or whatever.
		So there's a certain amount of, you know, you're there to hang out with whoever's on the cruise.
		So, you know, that was always a big thing.
		I'm not particularly a fan of cruises.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I don't get it.
unidentified		I don't either.
unidentified		After you see that footage of people like throwing things overboard and all stuck on there and they're all... The getting stuck is fun, but I think they're like just all-inclusive resorts on water, right?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but if anyone gets sick, everyone gets sick.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You're all doomed.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		The trapped thing is what bothers me.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's just going to a little city.
		It's like, I got an idea.
		Instead of going on a cruise, take a drive down to Richmond, if you've never been to Richmond.
		And then they got a bunch of stores.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		A cruise is a cruise.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They have a casino.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But I think, again, it's like the all-inclusive.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Like, they're like, I pay up front and then I have access to whatever I want on the boat.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I pay nothing and go to Richmond and have access to everything in the Richmond area.
		Like, here's one for you.
		If you've never been, go to Hampton Roads in Virginia Beach.
		There are many things to do.
		Like, go to the beach.
		There are clubs, bars, restaurants you've never been to.
		I don't understand cruises.
		It's like, you're on this little city and you're like, look at all the things we can do.
		Yeah, and you paid due and you're on water.
		But why?
		I guess look I went on a cruise once and we were supposed to go to a private island because like the cruise company has like a port and then you go oh but then the storm a storm hit so they're like nope we're going to NASA and then we went to McDonald's and Starbucks and I was like this is really dumb.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		When my dad worked for Forbes they used to do their annual conferences on cruises and you know I will say in some ways I think it works pretty well because you bring your whole family they have like a place to basically like a summer camp for your kids you know there are like meals whatever else but you're also there for purpose like it sounds more fun than being in just like a big hotel but As an adult, I can't imagine booking a cruise because, like, again, during, like, COVID stuff or, like, the videos of the shoot, the boats rocking, very nerve-wracking.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I think a cruise is mostly attractive to people that want to go, that would go and, like, you know, hang out and drink.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Because there's, like, you know... You're not trying to sightsee.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I think you're just trying to, like...
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, you know, you go to the pool, you get drunk by, you know, two in the afternoon, you fall asleep and you get sunburned, or maybe you stumble back to your room and you take a nap for a couple hours, get up, eat dinner, you know, drink.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I took a ferry from Athens to Lesbos.
		That was cool.
		That's fun.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I would like to go to Greece.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Athens is wild.
		There were, like, Afghanis dealing drugs, who just, like, plainly told us that's what we're doing.
		My favorite thing about Athens is how the city is just rife with graffiti.
		And because they couldn't stop it, they just went, no, it's great.
		We like it.
		And so then they just say, like, it's art.
		And I'm like, so your city's overrun with, like, scum.
		And you just let it happen.
unidentified		It's kind of like San Francisco.
unidentified		Yep.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, the human waste is art.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's there on purpose.
		There is something about Mediterranean and the area and stuff like that.
		Italy has a lot of places that seem like...
		Pretty open to graffiti, but then again, I mean, to be honest with you, there's a lot of places in Europe where graffiti is just the norm.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I was gonna think of, like, Copenhagen.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there's a lot of places.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I love Spain, but they're on a two... How would you describe it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They have, like, a two-cycle day.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Oh yeah, a siesta.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And then they stay up till like 11, they have dinner at like 10 p.m.
		So they sleep twice a day instead of sleeping once per day.
		Like that's crazy how that happens.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's weird.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We call it siesta.
		What does that mean?
		Like nap time?
		Like literally translates to like nap time?
unidentified		Yeah, it does.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I think so.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But like we sleep seven to eight hours on average.
		Not everyone does.
		I sleep less than that.
		And then you wake up and you work and then you go to bed and you sleep for eight hours.
		So you're up for 16.
		No, they break it up in two parts.
		They wake up, they go to work.
		Then at two, they go to bed and they wake up at four and they go to work and they go to bed at midnight.
unidentified		I mean, we used to do that in, like, what?
		Kindergarten, when you'd have nap time?
		We just kind of abandoned it after that.
		How wrong is that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But that's not breaking the day into two parts.
		That's just, like, taking a nap in between.
		I'll take, like, a 15-20 minute nap after I finish eating, or something like that.
		Like, I'll chill out on the couch, I'll put on the Five, and then I just fall asleep whispering to Greg Gutfeld's sweet voice.
unidentified		Oh my gosh.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Can't help it, you know?
		It's just... It's so beautiful.
		No, but I do watch the Five.
		Greg's fantastic.
unidentified		He's hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he's good.
		He really does make the show.
		He makes the show.
		All right, here we go.
		Paul Tascolo says, you guys know the Krasensteins got indicted for federal financial fraud crimes and Ponzi schemes in 2018, right?
		Had to forfeit $450,000 to the feds by selling a property.
		They literally did what they accused Trump of doing.
		Heavens to Murgatroyd.
		Is that true?
unidentified		Yeah, it is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Banana Watch says, why no boat expert on Tim?
		Is it too much money?
		No, it's just not possible to book someone to come on the show within, like, ten hours.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Let me just wrangle up a boat expert on, like, twelve hours notice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Not even!
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		If we had had a boat expert on, everyone would have been like, so you knew the boat attack was coming.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Interesting.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		It would be weirder if we had one unless we're like I guess in a coastal city where they're just you throw a stone wall there.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		To be fair like we periodically will have a guest who's on during something of their expertise and we'll be like oh that's interesting.
unidentified		Yeah yeah yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like we'll have like a game developer on a day where there's like a big controversy with a video game.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		I'm sorry that my non-cargo ship background is disappointing.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You were pretty good.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		You were like, I was a competitive sailor, I knew some basic information.
unidentified		I did.
		I sailed competitively, but I mean, a sailboat is completely different than a cargo ship.
		But I just, I can tell you, I know how anchors work and they don't work quick.
		They're not like brakes.
		That's all I got.
		Sorry.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Look, I thought it was pretty good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		T.N.
		says, the Krasenstein brothers had a half a million dollars seized for wire fraud, but surprise, surprise, no criminal charges were brought against the anti-Trumpers.
		Log in I and all.
		Now that I'm hearing this, guys, I gotta admit, sounds like the Krasensteins actually are experts on fraud.
unidentified		In which case... Phil's like, no.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no, I didn't say no.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I said, oh.
unidentified		It's so gross how you put that in bold.
unidentified		Let me put this to you in simple terms, like, Thank you so much.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me put this to you in simple terms.
		I didn't Google search it.
		I have no idea what you're talking about.
		I don't know exactly what Jon Stewart said, but Trump committed fraud.
unidentified		Exactly.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		And I wouldn't know about fraud.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I wouldn't know.
		That's right.
		I, being an expert on it with my brother, they claimed it was BS or something.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what their story is.
		Alleged expert on fraud.
		Sorry.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know exactly what happened.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm not gonna immediately just assume they end up, like, what's the argument that the Feds are letting them get away with it because they hate Trump or something?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Look, I just think it's funny that the Feds took 400 grand from him.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is that true, though, or is someone just saying that?
unidentified		No, I think this happened, like, years ago.
unidentified		I don't think it was recent.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		2018 isn't yeah, but I'm saying I don't know if that's true.
unidentified		I thought I thought I don't know They were saying that they settled and that they were not found guilty of it is what I've heard them say about it Wasn't wasn't if I recall correctly wasn't like their Twitter accounts were like Twilight fanfiction or something.
		It was Bieber fan Something like that.
		It was something along those lines like really weird Like why would why would they have that handle as grown men?
		I don't know.
		I mean grown men are like are allowed to like Bieber forever 2000 Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now if it was Taylor Swift, I'd get it.
		You know what I mean?
		Because she's an American sweetheart.
		But Bieber?
		He's not been around for a minute.
		What do we got?
		John Folliard says DJT should be thrilled to follow his own precedent, giving up his rights after a summary judgment.
		Take the guns first and go through the due process second.
		You know, you gotta watch what you say.
		Trump did say that.
		He should not have.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, he did say it, but, you know, I mean, it actually didn't happen, so... Well, he went after bump stocks.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It was just a dumb remark from him, which he does make plenty of dumb remarks.
unidentified		And he didn't pardon Assange.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He didn't.
		So disappointing.
		Well, again, if we want, we could go down a litany of things that are insufficient.
		Let's do it.
unidentified		Why not?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, because we've got Super Chats.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		But insufficient about Donald Trump.
unidentified		Come on, Super Chats.
unidentified		Make this happen.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They don't want to hear that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Marion Holtzman says, everything you discussed tonight is the concept of Gadsad's the parasitic mind.
		Please invite him sooner than later.
		Please.
		I believe we've invited him several times.
		I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Him, a boat expert.
		You guys have a lot of demands tonight.
		That's right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Maybe we'll get him in a boat expert and they'll debate.
		Missy Kinn says, Tim, don't you think hiring Ronna McDaniel was a setup so the protesting anchor people would appear like they are actually allowed to push back on the corporate overlords?
unidentified		No.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wouldn't that be funny, though, if NBC was like, let's pretend to hire Ronna McDaniel.
		We'll say we are.
		Negotiate.
		There's no idea.
unidentified		And then- These people are not that smart.
		Like, we can never- gotta stop giving them credit for this kind of stuff.
		Oh, it was a set- everything was a conspiracy theory.
		It just exhausts me.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		But they- It's not unusual for networks to hire people who might represent an oppositional, especially if they're going to be the minority.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		CNN does this all the time, so I think it was just normal they didn't expect their staff to be as mad as they were.
unidentified		To have meltdowns.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is a good one.
		KCB says if Trump is fined more than the shipping company that destroyed the bridge, that will be very telling.
		Yeah, that shipping company should have to, I mean, that's a five year, that took five years to build that bridge.
		And it disables a major port.
unidentified		I mean, how much was the train fined for blowing up East Palestine?
serge du preez ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I also saw someone in that same mariner that I was talking to earlier on the discord said that the ship had like a crazy number of infractions for like years and years and years.
		So it's it's more than that.
		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright, Alexander Scarpecci says I predict that Trump will pick Tulsi Gabbard for VP.
		I don't doubt it, Tucker Carlson did a show about it.
		So a lot of people have been suggesting it's gonna be Tulsi.
		I think Tulsi's a good choice.
		I think she's imperfect.
		I understand why a lot of people don't like her because not that long ago, she was not for gun control.
		She opposed nuclear power.
		However, I think she, like many... I relate to it.
		Like, several years ago, I'm like, oh yeah, that must be true.
		And then I'm like, wow, everything they've been saying is fake and lies.
		And so I look at Tulsi as attractive to a lot of post-liberals who feel similarly.
		And she's got military experience, which I tremendously respect.
		I think she'd be a good choice.
		She's got to come out and she's got to advocate for 2A nuclear power.
		Those are big deals, but I think she's pretty good.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		She's made a vocal statement about the, or an open statement about the Second Amendment that she has changed her position.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She posted a video, I'm pretty sure.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		And she's also out, she's actually actively going out and shooting, which is another nice thing.
		She's going and she's going to the range.
		She has, you know, I'm sure that there's a certain amount of of uh you know social media thought put into it and stuff but she's going out there and she's actually doing like she did a race that includes shooting and and stuff like that that's actually pretty difficult and stuff so what does she say about the border that's my like she taught she's she's looking to if i understand correctly her position is that the border is a problem needs to be fixed so what's the solution like i want a really strong i don't i don't know you know you don't know but you know what i mean like i
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		There are some aspects of her that seem attractive but there are certain issues that I think have to be complete priorities for every person in the administration and until she takes a really definitive stance on that it would be hard to weigh in.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Totally fair.
unidentified		Thank you, Phil.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's hilarious.
		I had no idea that happened.
		Timeline cleanse, first man with neural link brain implant has just used it to play Civilization
		6 all night long.
		We did talk about that a little bit, he played chess and he even tweeted.
		And he said that X blocked him because he said he was a bot, which he is, but they fixed
		it anyway.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's hilarious.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I had no idea that happened, that's hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean that's cool.
		I am very, very excited for Neuralink because there are a lot of people who have spinal injuries and this is going to give them control.
		So this dude's playing Civ 6.
		I mean, that's like, all he has to do is lay around all day and play Civ 6?
		All right.
		It's a general improvement from where he was.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Gives control until it takes over control, you know what I'm saying?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Hopefully in a few years, he won't have to sit around anymore.
		That's the goal.
		Like, if you can bridge that gap and, you know, fix people's spines.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		The chip gives him a directive, I'm sure.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		Everything will come together.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Listen, I tell you what, if you're in a wheelchair... I'm scared.
hannah claire brimelow ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to retreat off the grid.
unidentified		That's it.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No, we'll find you.
		Someone that I'm very close to... Thank you.
		Someone that I'm very close to's father is in a wheelchair, and he's been in a wheelchair for 30-some, 40-some years, something like that, for most of his adult life.
		And it is a real, real thing.
		And, you know, he's at the age where he's starting to experience some complications from being in a wheelchair and, you know, not having any feeling and catheters and all those kind of things that go along with it.
		And it's, you know, it's really hard.
