Yeah, yeah.

The Trump jurors have been seated, but they're still awaiting five alternates, so they're
not quite done and it has already been wild.
Two jurors who were already seated ended up getting dismissed a day later because one guy lied about, I guess he had been charged with a criminal, with some kind of crime for tearing down conservative posters, at least that's how people have been framing it.
What we do know is that apparently he did not disclose that he was charged with a crime previously related to some kind of political action.
And another woman went home and immediately her friends and family were like, Hey, that's you!
You're one of the jurors!
We can tell because your identifying information was published by the press.
So the judge got super pissed and was like, why is the media putting out these people's information, exposing their identities?
And so those two people ended up getting dismissed from the trial.
So needless to say, they ended up getting another, another five, another seven the rest of the day,
plus one alternate, and they still need five more.
So we're not quite there.
Trump leaves the trial with a big stack of articles from left to right wing publications,
basically calling the whole trial bunk.
So we're gonna talk about that.
Plus, Benny Johnson got robbed in Oakland while filming a story about people getting robbed in
Oakland.
You can't make this up.
Benny posted a video where he's like, I got robbed in Oakland and he's eating a cheeseburger.
And I'm like, ha ha, Benny.
He went in and out and the prices were high.
He got robbed.
And then there's a video of someone smashing out his SUV window.
ALX was in the car, apparently grabbed the bag and ripped it away from the guy trying to rob them.
This is absolutely insane.
And now people are saying that Oakland is like a third world country.
And going back to Donald Trump, he said we have basically become a third world country with how this trial is being run.
So we'll talk about that.
Plus, we've got a crazy story about a massive spike in suicides among young women over the past several years and how this is, I mean, Gen Z is getting the worst of it.
And then we have another big breaking story.
A mass shooting thwarted here in Montgomery County, Maryland.
This is crazy.
This is Western Maryland, which is, uh, we're not, we're not quite in Montgomery.
It's right across the street.
And there was a transgender, a biological female who was transgender, wanted to be famous, but the police were able to stop this.
So we'll talk about that as well.
Before we get started, my friends, head over to CastBrew.com.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Because we sponsor ourselves.
The best coffee you'll ever have, Cast Brew Coffee.
We got Appalachian Nights.
That is our top seller.
Rise with Roberto Jr.
Not re-rise.
Rise with Roberto Jr.
That's our second best.
And I hate to say it...
But you know, the sales in Rise with Roberto Jr.
slumped beneath Appalachian Nights right around the time he died.
I think without that spirit and energy of Roberto Jr.
the rooster, his sales have not been too good.
So if you want to help out and reinvigorate the brand and the icon that is and was Roberto Jr., buy some Rise with Roberto Jr.
No, what actually happened is we originally were pitching that as our main brew, and people would buy Appalachian Nights sort of as an extra.
And then people quickly got addicted to Appalachian Nights and it became our number one seller.
So we're really grateful for that.
When you buy from Cast Brew Coffee, what you're doing is you're helping us build our physical locations.
We already have one in Martinsburg, West Virginia under construction.
And the goal is to have a thousand plus all across the country.
Why?
We want physical spaces where someone's gonna walk in and buy a cup of coffee and the TV's on the walls.
They are playing shows like Stephen Crowder, like Daily Wire, like Sticks, Hex and Hammer, like Timcast IRL, and many others.
Viva Fry, for instance.
And so, this space that we have, this alternate media space, this up-and-coming new mainstream media will have space in the physical world and will become more prominent.
Plus, it's a place for people to meet, hang out, network, share ideas.
And that's the goal.
So right now, we're not taking anything out of the company.
When you buy, all that money goes right back in so we can start this process, and we are in that process.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else is Danielle DeSouza.
unidentified
Hi, yes, I'm Danielle D'Souza Gill.
I'm excited to be here, and I'm an author, and I wrote a book called The Choice, The Abortion Divide in America.
I was on the Advisory Board of Women for Trump, love Trump, and so yeah, happy to be back.
tim pool
Right on.
Thanks for coming back.
Chris Carr's hanging out.
chris karr
What's up?
Chris Carr, the executive editor at scnr.com.
That's Scanner News.
What's up, Ian?
benny johnson
Robodogs!
ian crossland
That's such a good time last night.
tim pool
He didn't want to say it.
ian crossland
It was a wonderful time.
Last night was rock and roll.
Let's do this again tonight.
Good to see you, Danielle.
Chris, I love you, man.
serge du preez
Yup, and I'm here as well.
Let's get started, Tim.
tim pool
Here's the big news!
From the Daily Mail, 12 jurors are selected in the Trump trial.
Judge says the Hush Money case now has a full panel as the third day comes to a close.
But the funny thing is, first, they still do need five alternates, because in the event, and this does happen, That during the trial, uh, somebody has an emergency, or, you know, just any kind of disrupting event, they're gonna have to drop out, and that's when the alternate gets to come in and share their voice.
The alternates have to be on the trial, like, they have to be there for the full trial, watching everything in the event they are called upon to join the 12 jurors.
They don't have that.
One of the craziest things that we've seen so far, check this out.
Post-millennial.
Second Trump juror dismissed after it was revealed he was arrested for anti-conservative vandalism.
You are not going to convince me that these jurors are fair and honest.
It is New York.
It is something like 88% anti-Trump or some ridiculous number.
These jurors likely are sitting there in the back of their mind saying, I can't wait to get Trump.
And they're purposefully saying what they think they need to say to get on that jury, as evidenced by a guy who did not disclose he was arrested for anti-conservative vandalism.
As for the other juror, there were two jurors who got booted.
This nurse goes home and immediately all her friends and family knew who she was.
They were like, you're the juror?
And she's like, how did you guys know this?
And they're like, the media said, a woman who lived in this part of town, who was a nurse for this long, all of these things, and instantly they figured out who you were.
So she comes in and she goes, I cannot be impartial in this case.
They dismiss her.
I don't think the issue there was impartiality.
I think the issue for her was, and maybe it was impartiality, but the issue was, everyone's going to know who she is.
Every juror in this case will, they're going to end up with their own Wikipedia pages.
You do not escape the first criminal trial of a former president without landing yourselves in the history books.
And I'm really concerned as to what this means for jurors because I can't remember what trial it was.
I don't know if it was Kyle Rittenhouse.
Do you guys remember when the journalist stalked the jury?
A journalist was waiting in a car for the jurors to get out and go into like... They get like brought out in secret so you can't see their faces.
They get put in a bus and someone starts stalking the jury bus trying to figure out who they were.
I feel like...
In a week, the names of the jurors will be public information.
No, no question.
And this is going to be just absolute chaos.
ian crossland
There's one juror that recused himself.
Laura Loomer interviewed him today, about six hours ago.
His name was Mark DeMuro.
And he said, you know what?
I've got cartoons that I'm like making in front of Trump on my Instagram.
And if I stayed, they would have eventually uncovered it.
So I'm just telling you now, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm partial.
I can't do this.
And so they let him go.
And that was like, I think that was an honorable thing for the guy to do if he's been making fun of Trump online, like to not step in.
unidentified
But I feel like at this point, it's like if you're Trump, if you were literally president, that means everybody already knows who you are.
They already knew you.
So there's no real way to actually have an impartial jury, even if you weren't posting cartoons online and you weren't like a professional pundit or artist.
It's like you still probably have a bias about Trump because you think about him outside of the context of the Because the goal of the jurors to be unbiased is, I'm just going to go off of what I hear in the courtroom only.
Like, I'm not going to have other thoughts on this person.
It's like, you can't really do that if you're an American who's been voting or is even remotely plugged into anything going on.
It's like, you can't be unbiased, which is why I think this is just going to be a total persecution of Trump taking place in New York.
But even if it wasn't in New York, it's like, even at that point, everybody's going to have a view of Trump.
tim pool
Yep.
There's not a single person in the world who doesn't know who that man is, except for North Sentinel Island.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they finally land on North Sentinel Island, find the North Sentinelese people, who have never had contact with humans before, and there's a statue of Trump on that island.
ian crossland
Those are the guys that throw, like, spears at helicopters and drones and stuff?
tim pool
I suppose there are other uncontacted tribes in, like, the Amazon or something.
ian crossland
It's a fascinating point.
How do you have an impartial jury when the President of the United States is on trial?
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
It's like, for example, if you had a murder trial, and the guy who's on trial for murder, you tell them, like, oh, he had an affair.
It's like, you can't do that, because then people are all of a sudden, like, their view of him is colored.
And they might be like, you know what?
You're guilty, because I don't like you, because you had an affair.
It's like, literally, just that makes you an impartial juror.
So it's like, in this case, people have all kinds of thoughts about Trump.
Like, he was literally president.
So everybody knows who he is.
He's part of history.
And I think the fact like you were saying about the jurors, they may be followed.
I mean, the left is willing to go after a Supreme Court.
They're literally going to go out there.
They're going after justices.
So going after jurors who are normal people, that's definitely going to happen.
chris karr
Yeah, it's a really awful situation because when you consider the makeup of New Yorkers, I mean, it's not even like that they have thoughts about Trump.
Like, they're not even allowed to.
Like, they've had thoughts implanted in their brain about Trump since 2015, and those thoughts have just festered there, and I mean, if it's 88% Democrat, you know, you can anticipate what they're gonna be.
tim pool
This is how you get the trial in the first place.
I don't understand how you bring a trial against someone with no crime.
Can I just kind of make that point again?
We made it every single night, but for people who have just crawled out from under their rock, where they were living alongside Patrick Starr, and they have no idea what's going on, the charge against Trump is that there is some secret undisclosed federal crime for which Trump is being charged, but no one's allowed to know about what it is.
ian crossland
What?
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
ian crossland
I guess I just came out from under the rock.
tim pool
What are you talking about?
chris karr
Yes.
Welcome.
tim pool
Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor.
Trump has been charged with felony falsifying business records in furtherance of a secondary crime.
A secondary crime which does not exist.
So it's like, I love it when cops are like, you're under arrest for resisting arrest.
It's like, whoa, hold on.
How does that make sense?
ian crossland
Hey, you said hold on.
You proved me right.
tim pool
But they've done this.
There have been people who have been arrested for no other charge other than resisting arrest, and that seems a bit...
Circular, as it were.
But I suppose there's some argument about resisting arrest actually means, like, you were being detained for reasonable suspicion and you refused or something, I don't know.
Which doesn't seem to make sense, but Donald Trump is being charged because there is some secret, undisclosed felony crime no one knows about And because of that, they can now bring this other secondary additional charge.
Like the charge against them of falsifying records, felony falsifying records, is an add-on charge for a secondary crime.
Now, there isn't one.
No.
unidentified
Yeah, I don't think people believe any of it.
I mean, at this point, people know that Trump is who he is, and the left is going to find anything that they can.
It's like, show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
There's not actually any interest in what the crime even is, or else everyone would be talking about it, if there was a real crime.
tim pool
I think it was Michael Malice.
He tweeted that showing up in court is not some 4D chess move that people think it is.
Maybe I should actually try and pull up the tweet from Michael Malice.
Because, uh, he makes a point I think a lot of people... I think it was Michael, let me make sure it was and I'll see if I can find his tweet.
He makes a point I think a lot of people don't want to recognize.
A lot of Trump supporters... Let me see if I can actually find it.
I thought I retweeted it.
Um, maybe it wasn't Michael.
But, um, he makes this point that...
A lot of people think Trump going to court is like some 4-D chess move where it's going to make him look better.
I mentioned maybe his legal team strategy is make him look like the martyr.
But a lot of regular people who have no idea what's going on, who don't watch the news, are just being told Trump is a criminal over and over and over again.
So you go to that suburban housewife who has no idea what's going on and she's going to be like, Trump's going to jail?
Oh no!
And you're not going to be able to convince some of these people.
It's the court of public opinion.
Unfortunately, and it shouldn't be this way, many people believe that if you are on trial, you're guilty.
Well, you wouldn't be there if you were innocent.
And that's the idea they're trying to implant as many people heads as possible.
ian crossland
And it is a disturbing concept because of the ethos.
I mean, one of the underpinnings of the ethos of the United States is you're innocent.
Until you're proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law, you're innocent.
unidentified
That's it.
ian crossland
You're innocent.
tim pool
Yeah, here we go.
Sorry, I got it right now.
Michael Malice said, Trump being put on trial and forced to sit there isn't the 4D chess win for him some people think it is.
Keep in mind the average person was happy to engage in social distancing then promptly forgot it ever happened when the next wave hit.
chris karr
Perfect.
tim pool
You've already got videos of people being like, Trump is now on criminal trial for fraud!
For fraud everybody!
They don't care about the nuance of the trial.
They don't read the stories.
They don't listen to what Trump has to say about it.
You've got all these legal scholars saying this is a bunk trial.
Doesn't matter.
These people are not going to see it.
They're just going to be sitting there going, wow, Trump's, Trump committed fraud.
ian crossland
These misdemeanors, as far as I can tell, and correct me if I'm wrong, there's like 33 of them, and it's because- Well, 34 all for one reason.
Yeah, and it's like he sent 34 copies of the same thing or something, so they're like, oh, 34- Retainer payments to his lawyer.
tim pool
Regularly scheduled retainer payments, and so they turned it into 34 counts of falsifying business records.
ian crossland
And they would have all been misdemeanors if there wasn't another felony in the shadows.
tim pool
Oh, well, let's ramp it up.
Not only Would this typically be a misdemeanor?
But the FEC and the DOJ looked at the exact thing and said there's no crime at all.
And so Bragg went, there's a crime here.
Unfortunately for him at the state level, it's a misdemeanor.
So he said, yeah, but there's another crime.
What's the other crime?
I don't know.
There you go.
ian crossland
Is this unprecedented?
Has this ever happened before?
tim pool
Unprecedented.
And well, I'm sure there have been many malicious prosecutions throughout American history.
But the thing that bothers me the most is Trump getting on his knees.
Some local DA files a non-statutory criminal charge against Trump.
The judge laughs and says, let's roll baby.
And Trump goes, okay, shows up, gets on his knees and says, tell me what to do judge.
And I'll do it.
That's, that's crazy to me.
Bragg and New York crossed the Rubicon and Trump said, fine.
ian crossland
You know, the thing about Don is he's, he is lawful.
He respects law and he's willing to play ball with the law.
And like, if you're playing against dirty, like a dirty law legal system, that's, that's a tough thing to do is to be the law.
tim pool
I agree, but this is not law.
unidentified
He's trying to do like wage a civil war on them, you know, like basically they're gonna they're they're already saying Trump is a dictator.
No, no, he's taking over.
He but he he's appearing in court because he's obeying the law.
tim pool
He's he's not obeying the law.
There's no law.
This is not on the books.
What they're doing to Trump does not exist in statutory law.
They've made it up.
They declared a civil war on Trump and Trump said, I'll do whatever you say.
unidentified
But what do you think he should do?
He should be I mean, he's running for president.
I mean, he's speaking out.
He's trying to fight against the weaponized government that's fighting him, that's fighting January 6thers, that's fighting regular Americans.
tim pool
So the issue is?
unidentified
He's doing everything he can.
tim pool
New York, Bragg, this is a Manhattan DA, files what is obviously a false criminal charge with support from establishment politicians.
Trump even accuses Biden of being involved, calls it a Biden case.
The Democrats have crossed the Rubicon.
They have now filed a criminal charge.
Well, not now.
They filed a criminal charge against Trump a while ago for something that doesn't exist on the books.
And they claim there is a nebulous, vague, undisclosed secondary crime that is not, has not been filed.
So they're using an add-on charge for underlying crime that doesn't exist.
This is non-statutorial criminal charge.
Donald Trump, it's, and then he says, okay, I guess, imagine Donald Trump in his home in Mar-a-Lago and NYPD for no reason show up at his house.
Tie him up, throw him in the back of a van, and drive him to New York.
We'd call that kidnapping.
Only problem here is, Donald Trump said, you know, I agree, I'll actually, I will show up, I do agree with what you're doing.
unidentified
But I don't think he does agree with what they're doing.
Well, he can say it, but he's- I think you're right, there is no basis for it.
That's true.
And they have crossed the Rubicon.
But I think that what Trump is also spotlighting is showing that this, what's happening to him is what's happening to normal people.
tim pool
If a clown showed up to your house and told you that they had a clown warrant for your arrest, would you get in the back of their white panel van?
unidentified
Well, it's the government, so people... It's the state government of New York.
We think of Trump, though, as this, like, superhero, he's above the law, but he's a person.
tim pool
This is not the law.
unidentified
I agree it's not the law because they've weaponized, like Letitia James ran and said, I'm running because I'm going to put Trump away.
tim pool
And Trump just keeps getting on his knees every single time.
unidentified
So it's totally unfair.
It's awful.
But I don't think he is.
I think he's fighting back.
And I think that when he wins in November, it's going to show people that them doing this to him, them doing this to normal people, it just backfires on them.
chris karr
This kind of confirms a component of his short-sighted judgment that he exercised in office when you think about it, because he got rolled by the swamp creatures that he put in his administration, and now he's getting rolled by clown people that call themselves, you know, court officials.
ian crossland
Yep.
chris karr
So he's good at getting rolled, amazingly, despite the fact that he's kind of a bull.
He's good at getting rolled.
tim pool
Let's talk about the judge's daughter.
What's her official position?
I want to be very specific, so I'm wondering if you guys can, before I even say it.
ian crossland
Well, I've heard that she's involved with some sort of Biden campaigning or something.
tim pool
She has clients who have raised over a hundred million dollars off of this trial.
There was a judge on CNN who said it's a clear case for recusal of the judge.
What we're dealing with is...
I'll put it this way.
If a guy who works for the NYPD robbed a bodega, we would not call it the law.
If a guy working for the NY- If an NYPD officer walks into a bodega and says, by order of the law, empty your register and put it in my bag.
We wouldn't go, oh, look, that clerk is not above the law.
That clerk is not above the law.
You better give that cop his money.
unidentified
But the bodega, the guy who went in there where Trump just visited the owner, the guy, the evil guy went in there.
He's like going to kill them.
The other guy takes out his weapon.
You know, I'm saying obviously I'm on the side of the guy who's defending himself.
Right.
But New York is against that guy.
Does that mean that it's the law or what's not the law?
Obviously.
That's totally wrong.
We should support someone defending themselves.
But in a place like New York that's just completely been taken over by liberals, you have to just realize that that's like the evil of New York.
And you can't live there anymore, you can't be there.
I mean, I'm glad that that guy ended up okay, but so many people, I mean, they're under that kind of tyranny.
tim pool
Trump should have stayed in Florida.
I suppose this other aligned states with New York would then come after him, but he can't campaign now anyway.
And I suppose it's easy for me to say I have no idea what his legal strategy is or what's happening behind the scenes.
I believe there's a strong possibility, his lawyer said, this is going to boost your numbers.
It happens every single time.
It's going to put you on TV.
You are going to be front and center.
It's going to get you press you could not buy.
benny johnson
Roll with it.
tim pool
Perhaps.
Morally, I think Trump should have said, when you file a criminal case against me, I will gladly answer it.
But you haven't.
So I'll be here in Florida.
Let me know when you have an underlying crime for your felony and I will gladly answer it for the time being.
No, you can't just make this stuff up.
And that would require New York to negotiate with Florida or the federal government to figure out how they could actually extradite Trump.
It would put weight on the federal government and Florida to agree with New York that they can file an upgraded charge without an underlying crime.
I don't know that Ron DeSantis would be able to manage that political situation in Florida.
He'd have no choice but to say, absolutely not.
You can't do this.
I don't understand how you even have the Rolling Stone.
Trump was laughing about this.
He comes out of the courtroom and he's like, Rolling Stone says they can't win.
It's remarkable.
When you have even the Rolling Stone, which is like crackpot woke cult nonsense saying this is not, there's no case.
It's patently obvious to anybody.
What other state is going to want to intervene on behalf of New York's fake case?
My concern now is that with the fraudulent, manufactured criminal case against Trump, by him going to court and saying, okay, I guess, he has just told every single person in America, not just that they could do it to you, but that if they do obey, if they make up fake charges against you, even a president must go and so must you.
So now the government just has what?
Trump has signaled If the government fabricates fake, non-statutory criminal charges against you, that's too bad for you, I guess.
You're going to jail.
unidentified
No, no, I don't think he's going to jail.
I think he's going there to show this is what has happened to our government.
It's become weaponized against people like Trump, and it's become weaponized against Trump himself.
And I think he's going to be vindicated, and people are going to see that, like you said, there is no claim.
There is no evidence.
There's nothing against him.
And all of these people who are going to be voting for Trump may be people who are like, wow, I see how bad the country's getting.
I don't know if I would have voted for him otherwise.
And even these suburban women, like you mentioned, I mean, yeah, maybe they're kind of put off by this all happening, and that's kind of an ugly thing that's happening.
But at the same time, it's a wake-up call to say, whoa, Like, this is what's happened to our country?
tim pool
Why do you think Trump will be vindicated?
unidentified
I think he's going to be vindicated because as soon as people look into it, as soon as people see this, people will see that there's no evidence.
There's no crime.
It's trumped up charges.
You think that New York liberals... No, not New York liberals.
I'm saying the spotlight... Well, who do you think the jury is?
I think the jury's going to be totally biased.
The jury's liberals who are... And they're going to quit Trump even though they're biased?
No, I think that those people are probably going to be going into this.
I mean, jurors are still getting removed.
They're totally biased.
tim pool
So Trump's going to get convicted?
unidentified
I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen.
I just think that the people who are going in there don't know the evidence and they're not going to be critically thinking about this.
They're going in there with their preconceived notions of Trump.
chris karr
Do you think that the prosecution might just fumble the case and just fail to convince, you know, dyed-in-the-wool New York City liberals that Trump is innocent?
I mean, do you think that they're just going to, like, screw up the case to the extent that the jury is going to acquit him?
unidentified
Do you think that's possible?
I think anything is possible.
I mean, honestly, I think that the jurors who are in there are probably really dumb and probably have no sense of Even what his defense would say.
Who knows?
Maybe his defense would be really good and some of them would think, wow, I've never heard this in my life because I live in an echo chamber and I live in New York and all I hear is that Trump is evil.
So maybe some of them would have a mind change.
Maybe one of them would have a mind change.
I don't know.
I'm not saying I'm going to rely on it because I do think New York is totally corrupt.
chris karr
But that's the best case scenario, essentially.
tim pool
I think if someone offered you a bet of You know, 100 to 10.
You give me 10 bucks.
If Trump is convicted, I'll pay you $100.
Or I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the other way around.
If someone said, you wage your 100 bucks, and if Trump is convicted, I'll give you 10.
That's a good bet.
10 or 1.
Or 1 to 10, I guess.
unidentified
So you think he's going to jail?
tim pool
Well, I don't know if they give him jail, but I certainly think, after everything the deep state has done, the idea that this time, this is the hard line for them, they'll just stop here, is insane.
unidentified
They're not going to stop.
They're not going to choose to stop for sure.
tim pool
Why would people who live in New York, 88 to 90% anti-Trump, people who vote to defund the police, I get there's a lot of people in New York who are upset about what's going on, but they keep voting for the same thing.
unidentified
Yeah, but that's why he's fighting for presidential immunity.
This is a sham trial.
tim pool
Presidential immunity has nothing to do with this case.
Let's operate outside of the liberal bias.
Knowing that Antifa has killed, shot people, taken over cities, numerous cities, burned buildings to the ground, mercilessly beaten people in the streets on hundreds if not thousands of occasions.
Uh, in the Chauvin trial, the jurors had to be escorted by armed, heavily armed police, because the riots happening outside.
When this one juror came home and found out that people knew who she was already, she said, I'm out.
So let's say, these are just normies, and they're like, maybe could be impartial.
You still have to connect with the fact that they're sitting there with their friend saying, you know they'll kill you, right?
Like, no matter what you do.
No matter what you do.
You live in New York.
Antifa is going to come and they're going to burn your house down.
They're going to smash your cars if they find out you acquitted Donald Trump.
These people are going to convict.
They're going to convict because the only way to survive in New York is to convict.
unidentified
If they convicted him, you're saying you don't think he'd get in jail.
tim pool
So let's say he... Well, I don't know if he'd get in jail.
He could.
chris karr
What's the worst that would happen if he was convicted?
tim pool
I think 10 years is the max.
I could be 10 years, I could be wrong.
Legal analysts, according to some corporate press, said that four years probation is like a first offense, typically.
So, felony falsifying business... Basically what they're claiming is that felony falsifying business records requires an underlying secondary crime.
That is, Trump, to conceal a crime, falsified business records.
Well, none of this is true.
Trump did not falsify business records.
That's not even proven.
And there is no underlying crime.
Their argument is effectively that Trump is running some kind of like mafioso type thing, and he lied about his legal records to cover up some other crime that doesn't exist.
unidentified
But taking a step back from that court, from those people, I feel like in the court of public opinion in the country, if he is re-elected, that means people don't care about this.
They don't care that he's on trial, and they don't care if he's found guilty, and they don't care if there are a bunch of biased jurors.
I mean, we care to the extent that we hate that it's happening, and we hate that there's a persecution of our president, but I don't think that Normal people in America are going to look at it and think, oh, wow, you know, this means that I actually do think that Trump is now a criminal.
It's like you either already think certain things about Trump or you don't.
And I think most people aren't going to look at it that way, even if he were found guilty, like you're saying.
tim pool
Then all they're doing is they're tying up his money and preventing him from campaigning.
unidentified
That's what they're trying to do.
I think they're trying to slow him down.
tim pool
And he will be convicted.
And then what?
They order him to remain in New York.
You can't leave without a permission.
You get convicted of a felony.
If Trump is convicted of a felony, he can't leave the country.
He can't have a gun.
He can't leave the country.
It affects his voting rights.
This is a felony charge.
unidentified
This is a prison sentence.
The fact that they're even thinking of doing this is evil.
It's literal persecution of our president.
And even if you're not conservative, this is downright evil.
And it shouldn't be happening to people who are liberal.
It shouldn't be happening to people who are conservative either.
Um, I think it would just be a wake-up call to most people in the country.
Like, if Trump is hindered from campaigning as he normally would, his money's getting tied up, he can't travel like you're saying, and if he still wins, then I think that just shows how much power Trump has.
tim pool
If he still wins.
This has been the case now.
How long has it had these indictments going?
It's like a year, right?
unidentified
It's been nonstop.
tim pool
Right, so nothing's changed.
This criminal trial doesn't change.
They've already drained him of his resources, bragged about it on Twitter and on the news and in interviews, launched more and more criminal trials against him.
In the Georgia case, you actually have admission of impropriety with the DA and the prosecutor, and the judge says, who cares?
Let it go anyway.
No problem.
It's obvious to everyone, and has been for a long time, and Trump is up in the polls by what, one or two points?
unidentified
But usually the polls show him lower than what he normally would be.
tim pool
So it's a good place to be.
But if this was an awakening, you'd think the jurors would be like, I'm shocked at how insane this has become.
But instead, they're like, yeah, I posted Trump should be in jail on my social media.
They had to dismiss 50 of 96 jurors, which is insane, because they were all like, we hate Trump.
I don't see a reality in which, in this case, in the Georgia case, in the documents case out of Florida, I don't see a reality in which they have gone this far with everything they're doing and then finally just stops and they go, wait!
Guys, us in the deep state, we've gone too far!
We cannot put Trump in jail.
No!
They're gonna be like, we will do literally anything by any means necessary.
unidentified
They will, but I think that normal people seeing it would think that this has gone way too far and this is insane.
tim pool
But I don't know why, I mean maybe, but we're not seeing that.
What we're seeing is, I suppose we can say, let's wait a week because even Rolling Stone said this is likely not going to fly.
But you've got prominent liberals cheering for this.
I guarantee you go to the Krasensteins social media and they're celebrating this, saying Trump should be- Oh yeah, they all have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But so none of these people are waking up.
unidentified
No, they're not waking up.
We don't need prominent liberals with large X followings to wake up because convincing those people to wake up is basically impossible.
But I think as far as normal people who see this, see that this is a persecution of Trump.
I mean, it's very clear that the left has just spent years being obsessed with taking down Trump.
And no matter what they do, it's not really working.
tim pool
I don't know that this matters.
That's why I brought up Michael Malice's post.
That it's not the 4D chess when people think it is.
All that matters for most people is immigration and economics.
Can they afford rent?
Can they afford their bills?
They don't really care if Trump is or isn't a criminal.
The far left are going to say Trump's a criminal.
The right is going to say Trump is not.
Democrats are going to say he is.
Republicans are going to say he's not.
And what matters is, when it comes to the issue of economics and immigration, the two biggest issues, Trump is nowhere to be seen.
Why?
He can't campaign.
So I think it's a strong possibility he gets convicted.
They say, Trump, you've got a fraud case.
You're confirmed liable for fraud?
This is not a man who should get a slap on the wrist.
And we'll see how far they want to go.
But they could go as far as, we're nice people.
We'll be reasonable because we believe in justice.
So Trump, one year probation.
And you can't leave the state without permission from a judge.
We'll see you at Trump Tower.
And that's it.
No more campaigning.
unidentified
Well, his campaigning has always been really strong.
He's always been able to get a ton of people at rallies, but just throwing out the thought, even if he wasn't able to do those anymore because he's been put on a leash by these cases, I still think the people who would have shown up to the rallies would have been there.
Like, those people haven't gone anywhere.
Like, those voters haven't disappeared.
And everyone who's seeing what's happening at the border, who's seeing immigration, who's seeing what's happening to the economy, like, those people still exist.
Even if Trump isn't coming to their backyard or coming to the state that they're in, I think that they would still...
be able to piece two and two together.
ian crossland
Yeah, he doesn't really need to campaign.
He's already got it in the bag.
He's the incumbent.
He's already been the president.
Everyone knows him.
tim pool
He's not the incumbent.
ian crossland
Technically not, but he basically is in a lot of ways.
tim pool
We have two.
We have an incumbent and a semi-incumbent.
ian crossland
Yeah, yeah.
And so he could do X videos, like he could whip back up his X account and go hard in the paint from Trump Tower and get another 7.5 million followers in the next six months.
And that would be an effective campaign strategy.
tim pool
I think in 50 years they will write about this criminal trial as the crossing of the Rubicon.
The Democrats created a false criminal trial with a non-statutory criminal charge against Trump and they all rallied behind it.
The judicial system has ceased to exist.
That's it.
Whether Trump agrees with it or not, whether he shuts up to trial or not, the big test is going to be if Trump shows up to the SCOTUS oral arguments.
If Trump does not, then he's lost.
Will that be the... The presidential immunity oral arguments, I believe, are next week.
I could be wrong.
I think it's Wednesday.
This is to hear for the Supreme Court to answer whether or not a president can be criminally charged for actions they took as president as per their official duties as president.
I believe it's fairly obvious.
Of course you can't criminally charge a president for the actions of the official duties, you know, for a president.
The Democrats and MSNBC and all that are arguing that Trump is claiming he's immune from all criminal prosecution, period.
Trump's legal team is not arguing that.
They're arguing, if a president, you know, walks on Fifth Avenue and shoots somebody, that's a criminal act.
You go to jail.
Doesn't matter if they're president or otherwise.
If a president signs off on a drone strike because he's given intel by the CIA, you cannot criminally charge him for that unless he is impeached first.
He has to be impeached, convicted, then criminal charges can be brought about.
Congress has to agree and confirm the president and his official duties committed an infraction that is a high crime and misdemeanor worthy of him being removed from office and is also criminal.
That's the argument.
Trump doesn't literally need to be at the oral arguments, his lawyers are there.
But I believe it is a moral imperative for the former president, who is standing for this case, to defend the office of the executive branch by being at the Supreme Court, standing face-to-face with those justices, as his legal team argues, you cannot criminally charge a president for actions they took as per their official duties.
This judge told Trump he cannot do that.
unidentified
But you were just saying that if he went to the New York one, that's him kind of like giving in.
That's him giving a signal that I'm like weak or something.
I don't think so.
I don't think it's weak at all.
But you were kind of seeming like you were saying that about the other case.
tim pool
The Supreme Court hearing is an argument between the executive branch and I suppose the Democrats in certain states in the federal government, DOJ, current administration.
Trump literally should be at the Supreme Court.
So the third branch of- I think he should too.
unidentified
I think he should be there.
But I feel like he should, if he's facing that, if he's facing the crime accusations in New York and he's facing this at the Supreme Court, I feel like both of those is just a show of strength.
tim pool
So, Trump has a choice.
He can stand up for the Office of the Presidency in front of the Supreme Court, or he can go to this fake criminal trial in New York City.
The question for Trump now is, what is more important?
The fabric of this nation and the Office of the Presidency, or going to jail for 30 days?
If Trump goes to the Supreme Court, he will be held in contempt and likely jailed.
They threaten.
Maybe they don't actually do it.
What is scarier to Trump?
The fabric of this nation being torn to shreds and the office of the presidency effectively being removed?
Or going to jail for 30 days?
That's his choice.
When we brought it up on the show and when the story broke, everybody said, yeah, Trump's going to skip SCOTUS.
He's going to say, I don't need to be there.
My lawyers will be there.
It'll be fine.
I don't want to go to jail.
unidentified
No, I feel like I could see him going.
tim pool
I'd love to see him go.
unidentified
I could see him going and maybe he would go to jail, maybe he would be in the handcuffs.
You said maybe some people think that would be a big PR thing.
I don't know, but I think that he will defend the presidency.
tim pool
Well, I'm curious as to what you guys think if you want to chat.
Because we did have Triton 54 the other day.
He said that if Donald Trump skips the SCOTUS hearing, he won't vote for him.
Because that shows that Trump cares more about complaining about corruption as opposed to actually fighting it.
ian crossland
Ah, that's an interesting conundrum.
It is important that we defend the office.
That is a big important thing.
It's not about Trump.
This is about the office of the presidency and what the president can and can't do.
That's at least what the Supreme Court's dealing with right now.
unidentified
I don't know, man.
ian crossland
Would he have gone if it was just... Yes.
He would have gone, for sure.
tim pool
Well, he had said for the longest time he will be at the oral arguments for his presidential immunity, and the judge just said, no.
He actually requested, we'd like to be at the oral arguments, and the judge said, no.
He said, I know that your client, a case before the Supreme Court is important, but the New York Supreme Court is important too, and you are a criminal defendant in this case, and you will not attend that.
So what's scarier?
A state court judge wagging his finger over what is clearly a fake criminal charge with no underlying crime, telling you you cannot go to one of the most important oral arguments in the history of this country.
Like, it's a no-brainer.
Trump has to go to the Supreme Court.
And that risks contempt.
And this is a big moment for him.
Will he actually defy the judge I think it's actually fairly easy because my attitude would be like, you know, with all due respect, your honor, you do not trump the Supreme Court and this country is more important.
And I'd say, I'd say it straight to the cameras.
I'd say to everybody, if this judge thinks that his state and his singular criminal trial matters more than the history of this country, I'd like to see him announce that to the world.
I will be at the Supreme Court oral arguments.
He can do what he does after that.
That's his purview.
And then if they want to arrest Trump, let the headlines ring.
Donald Trump arrested for contempt of court for having attended the Supreme Court oral arguments on presidential immunity instead of attending a criminal trial.
Let it be that.
Let them write about it on Wikipedia or wherever they want to write about it.
But that's why I asked what people thought because, like I mentioned, Triton54 the other day superchatted saying, if Trump skips the oral arguments, he will not vote for him.
I'm curious if other people feel that way or if it's just...
People are going to vote for Trump because nobody's going to vote for Biden.
unidentified
None of this stuff.
I feel like he should go.
I agree with you.
But if he's not there, I don't see why that's such a big game changer.
tim pool
Why he's not?
unidentified
In terms of the person writing that they're not going to vote for Trump anymore unless he's in contempt of the court and goes to Supreme Court.
tim pool
Right.
If Trump does not attend the Supreme Court oral arguments because a state court judge told him not to, What the Super Chatter said was it shows Trump's more concerned with like himself.
He's less concerned with this country than himself.
And he said it was a signal that the second term will be the same as the first.
That Trump's not actually going to fire people.
He's not actually going to start.
He's not going to appoint someone to the DOJ to deal with the corruption.
It's going to be Trump getting in the presidency and just saying, please leave me alone.
I don't want to go to jail.
chris karr
I think that's the accurate prediction.
I really do.
Yeah.
He's not gonna go to the Supreme Court if the judgment allow him.
There's no chance.
tim pool
It shows tremendous weakness.
Yep.
Fear of a lesser court, which is insane.
chris karr
Perceived fear.
Right.
Of a kangaroo court.
tim pool
Yeah.
chris karr
Which is crazy.
Yeah.
tim pool
But we'll see.
I mean, even missing his son's graduation is crazy.
Like, that's wild.
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, if he's in contempt of court, though, it's like you were saying what an issue it is if his campaign, he's not able to do these events, he's not able to do things like he normally would.
I mean, that would obviously make it a lot more difficult.
So I also feel like I could see why he wouldn't go.
So I don't know if it's that, oh, he's all talk, no action, if he doesn't go.
tim pool
Why wouldn't he go?
Why wouldn't he go to the Supreme Court?
unidentified
Because like you were saying, it's tying his hands.
It's making it so that he's not- Going to the Supreme Court?
You were saying if he goes to the Supreme Court, it's in contempt of the judge from New York and then- No, no, no.
tim pool
The Supreme Court is the job.
Donald Trump is asking us to believe that when he's elected, he will do things like stand up for us at the Supreme Court.
If he says, unless a state court judge tells me I can't do it.
Then I'm supposed to believe that when he becomes president, we're actually getting anything done this time?
Look, his first term was great.
I didn't vote for him in 2016.
But then when I saw the foreign policy stuff and the anti-ESG stuff, I was like, okay, this is a clear no-brainer.
A timeline for withdrawal from Afghanistan, trying to get our troops out of Syria, the Abraham Accords, all these peace agreements, crossing the DMZ into North Korea.
I'm like, this is amazing!
At the same time, escalation of drone strikes, a lack of transparency in drone strikes, I get all that, commando raids in Yemen, 59 tomahawks into Syria, they were bad things too.
Bringing John Bolton on, he made a lot of mistakes with his personnel choices.
But, for a while we talked about how Trump's gonna want revenge.
He's gonna want retribution.
And he even said, I will be your retribution.
So now the concern is, obviously, between Biden and Trump, Trump's the obvious choice, because he's the best president of my lifetime.
But there were a lot of mistakes made during the first term, where they cemented his feet and dropped him in the ocean, and he had to fight against that.
We're hoping that this time around, the gloves come off.
He appoints someone like Kash Patel as AG or head of the FBI.
If Trump is so scared of a judge in New York that he would skip the Supreme Court oral arguments on presidential immunity, I don't believe that a second term is going to be anything substantive at all.
unidentified
Okay, I don't agree.
It's still better than Biden.
I think he should go.
I agree with you there.
But if he doesn't go, I don't think we can be saying, hey, Trump, if you don't do this one specific thing, we're done with you.
If you don't do this one specific thing, we're done with you.
I'm not saying that.
No, no, I'm just making the counterargument and saying that if you are, let's say you're a pro-lifer and you're like, I don't know about Trump anymore because he said this or you're Saying, I really want the gloves to come off.
You have to go to this court hearing.
If you don't go to the court hearing, I don't want to vote for you anymore.
If you don't do this, I'm not going to vote for you anymore.
I just think we can't be purists in that sense.
And I think if Trump is reelected, we'll have a much better chance of fighting the deep state than if we elect people from the deep state like Joe Biden.
So there's no question in my mind that we we have to vote for Trump and anyone who's remotely concerned about any of these topics needs to vote for Trump.
I mean Biden.
Biden is sending us even faster into this direction than we would be otherwise.
tim pool
I think people vote for Trump either way, but I think there's going to be a serious lack of morale in organizing that puts his chance of winning at risk when people just say he wouldn't even attend his own oral arguments because a fake made-up charge in New York judge told him he wasn't allowed to.
Like, how am I supposed to believe this is a guy who's going to fight the deep state when it's just some state court judge who tells you, like, think, just like, let me, let me break this down.
A state court judge under false pretenses said, Mr. Former President, I am barring you from going to the Supreme Court during your oral arguments.
If Trump says, okay, We're gonna get some underling in his next term, a bureaucrat from, like, the EPA, who's gonna file a charge against Trump, and then Trump's gonna go, well, I guess I lost.
I guess I'm not the president anymore.
unidentified
But before you mentioned those suburban women, you were saying, oh, what if these suburban women find it kind of uncomfortable that you're a felon or something like that?
Maybe he wouldn't want to go to jail because he wants to win those people.
I'm not saying that's the right thing to do, but I'm saying you have to balance winning over all of these people who want him to bash the deep state as well as try to win over these swing voters or people who maybe don't want him to be in contempt of court.
chris karr
But if he didn't go, would you agree that that shows a sign of weakness?
unidentified
I don't think it shows a sign of weakness.
I think it would just show that that was the strategy decision that he made.
And I don't know what he's going to decide.
I don't know.
Maybe he will go.
But I'm just saying that I think that you'd have to balance all of those things and thinking about the campaign and what message you're trying to send.
Who are you trying to win over?
ian crossland
I would need to know more about his plans with his lawyer, what their legal strategy is.
Are they willing to take 30 days in a New York jail?
Would that be good for promo?
I would need to know more to make a claim to be like, Don, do that.
tim pool
I think it was Piers Morgan on The Five.
If they arrest Donald Trump, he'll win in a landslide.
So maybe the real strategy is actually a no-brainer.
Trump says, I go to the Supreme Court, I prove that I will fight for this country, they overplay their hand, and then make me a martyr, and the whole country says Trump jailed for trying to defend this nation.
I see that happening.
Send that message.
But that's my point.
If Trump gets jailed for standing up for this country by going to the Supreme Court or arguments, That's a massive show of strength.
And then he goes to jail.
They're going to make him a martyr.
I don't know that it gives him a landslide, but many people think if they jail him, his approval rating skyrockets.
I suppose we'll see.
All right, but let's jump to this next story because we're going to give a shout out to our friend Benny Johnson.
Benny got robbed in Oakland.
It's funny because I laughed about it and people are like, that's mean, Tim.
Don't laugh at Benny.
unidentified
Oh, come on.
tim pool
Benny's fine.
He filmed the video.
They got damaged to their car.
And it is ironic.
It is the definition of irony.
Okay?
Benny Johnson went to an Oakland In-N-Out burger that shut down.
The only location that shut down.
Because while people were in the drive-thru waiting to get their burgers, people would run up and smash their windows and steal their stuff.
So while Benny is there, someone... Look at this.
We have ALX says, I was in the car when it happened.
The rest of the team was probably 20 feet away.
A car pulled up.
Someone jumped out, smashed the window and tried to take a bag.
I had to rip it from his hands and told him to F off.
Oakland is a third world country.
Look at this image.
We got to pull this up.
Okay.
I would like to explain to people in simple terms, irony.
Uh, many people like to talk about literary irony, which is perhaps explained as expressing something other than your literal intention.
I think that's weak.
Irony is a fire truck on fire.
That's the perfect visual of physical irony.
Irony is the thing that's supposed to put the fire out bursting into flames instead of putting the fire out.
Irony is Benny Johnson warning people about escalating crime and robberies getting robbed while he's doing it.
Welcome to Oakland.
This is what California has in store for you.
And the big fear is that... Don't they say California is five years ahead of the rest of the country?
ian crossland
Mmm, maybe.
Sometimes.
Sometimes it's way behind.
tim pool
No, no, no, no.
Five years, they're ahead of us.
ian crossland
I guess they did legalize weed first.
Yeah, they're progressive in a sense.
tim pool
What happens in California happens to the rest of the country five years later.
ian crossland
But I tell you, legalizing theft up to $900 is not happening around the country.
That was insane and stupid and we saw the blowback.
Like, 10 people go in there and each rob $900 worth of stuff and none of them get arrested, even though they robbed collectively $4,500 worth of stuff.
Stupid.
tim pool
Yo, this is crazy!
ian crossland
This stuff's in midday.
I've had my car broken into midday in San Francisco in 30 minutes that I was away from it.
No one was in the car.
This guy probably didn't know that Alex was in there.
tim pool
Oh, no, for sure.
He thought it was a parked car.
Look at this.
Benny tweeted, I just got robbed at an In-N-Out burger.
And the beginning is him pointing to a burger.
I thought he was going to be like, since they increased the minimum wage in California, this burger cost me $12.
And so I saw it and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, well, I'll watch your video, Benny.
But where's the punchline?
They robbed me.
And then it shows the smashed window.
I was like, oh, man, he got robbed.
chris karr
Echo punchline.
unidentified
Literally robbed.
Man.
ian crossland
Have you talked to Benny?
No.
tim pool
Well, I don't know.
I'm sure they've talked to a lot of people.
ian crossland
He's probably listening.
unidentified
Benny, how are you, man?
I feel like this is a crazy story, but also we're just not surprised because this is Oakland, and sadly California has become a third world country.
And the rest of the country may become a third world country.
tim pool
This is from the Benny show.
It's only a minute long.
benny johnson
In-N-Out Burger is a beloved fast food franchise.
They are wildly popular and expanding everywhere, except for in one...
Welcome to the only In-N-Out burger that has ever closed.
This is a historic location.
You can see the iconic building, but there's a fence around it.
The signs have been ripped down, and the windows are all boarded up.
Why did this In-N-Out burger close?
Well, because people were getting robbed in the drive-thru lane.
1,000 different criminal incidents of people being robbed while trying to get a burger in the drive-thru lane here.
In-N-Out?
Yeah, In-N-Out got bummed.
The reason that California is descended into a third-world criminal hellhole is because of Democrat soft on-crime policies that defund the police and that view the criminals as the victim and not the tax-paying citizen.
Speaking of being a victim, we were literally robbed while we were filming this video.
Middle of the afternoon.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
And a car got smashed.
unidentified
Man, it sounded like a hellhole.
tim pool
I tweeted something.
I tweeted like, ha ha ha ha ha ha, Benny actually got robbed and then people responded being like,
it's so mean of you to make fun of Benny for this and I'm like, dude, I'm friends with Benny.
I'm laughing at the irony of the situation that he got robbed while filming this video.
He's fine. They're all fine. Everyone's okay. But that's just absolutely wild.
Have you guys seen this viral video going around where a woman just murders another woman outside of her apartment?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
So there's another video that's going viral.
It's in Seattle.
There's two women.
One's got a gun, and she kicks the woman out and shoves her out the door, and the woman falls down and starts crying.
Then the woman walks back in the house, stops halfway up the stairs, turns around, goes outside, and just kills her.
Just starts shooting and then yells, you dead.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Curse, I don't want to curse, but be you dead.
I'm just like, dude, the stuff that's starting to happen in this country,
with this crime, and then you have just mass criminal immigration,
criminal aliens storming the country.
I don't know if the whole Trump argument even matters.
unidentified
Yeah, I think people are more concerned about things like this, honestly.
They don't want to have illegals being shipped all over the country committing crimes.
And it's just, it's gotten to the point where literally the things that Trump says, which I think originally maybe were hyperbole, like, we live in a third world country, we live in a hellhole.
It's like, that is literally the case.
That's literally happening.
And some people living in certain places are just downright unsafe.
ian crossland
Actually, I kind of disagree.
I think we are the first world.
I've heard that the ideas of third world is a very racist thing created by the British to make other countries seem like just to brainwash people into thinking they're shitty.
But we are the leader of the world and a lot of other countries are suffering just like this right now.
Russia's literally in a war where the men are getting drafted.
The Chinese, apparently the economy is falling apart in China.
We just don't get to see it.
tim pool
The third world is a reference to unaligned nations during the Cold War.
So the first world were the big developed nations, second were their allies, and third were unaligned countries.
And because they were, typically they're underdeveloped or undeveloped countries.
So it's not race, it was about political alignment.
ian crossland
Yeah, race is a stupid overused word.
unidentified
People think of a first world country, they think, oh, it's a safe place, it's a place
I could go and go to school and work and kind of have a normal life.
And a third world country is a place where maybe there are going to be violent mobs and
an open border and things like that.
And that's why I feel like we're becoming more of a third world country because we're
just allowing this to happen and we're kind of encouraging it in the sense that they're
saying, hey, we're not even going to have cash bail.
We're going to make it so that if you commit a crime, there's not really a punishment.
Yet if you're someone who's a conservative, I mean, God forbid you live in a place like
New York because you're going to be persecuted.
So, I just feel like that kind of justice system is totally something a third world country would do.
tim pool
So, I will clarify, because I just did a fact check.
Second world was Soviet allies, and first was capitalist allies, and third was unaligned.
ian crossland
It was British propaganda.
US, first world, Russia, second world, and everyone that joined us, they'll be in the third world with us.
tim pool
No, I think third world is on the line, isn't it?
ian crossland
Like colonized, or just a lot of African nations and stuff.
So anyway, that's what I've heard about the whole first world, second world thing is the British propaganda, just so people know.
tim pool
Yeah, countries that are not aligned.
It meant they weren't with the Soviet Union or the United States.
The capitalist countries.
ian crossland
They had no use for those people.
unidentified
Probably because they didn't have any resources to be able to get involved in anything, so they were like, you guys are doing stuff and we are just living in chaos.
tim pool
Yeah.
ian crossland
This is, I think, what I'm getting out of it is weak leadership.
And that is, I've heard that term throughout my life and it was kind of like cliche, but literally Biden is like, oh, don't invade Haifa, Israel.
tim pool
You saw that video?
ian crossland
Yeah.
That's an Israeli city.
He told Israel not to invade its own city.
unidentified
Yeah.
ian crossland
But he said the wrong word.
tim pool
I don't care about the words he said.
It was that he was on the verge of dying.
ian crossland
There's another, did you see the other one?
He's like, he says something, they go, Yeah!
You just reposted it today.
tim pool
They started cheering.
unidentified
Are you ready to... Are you ready to prioritize freedom over democracy?
ian crossland
Because that's what we're doing.
And they were like, yeah!
Okay.
Yeah.
That's what we're supposed to do in the United States.
Freedom first.
And then we build a democracy out of, Democratic Republic, out of the freedoms that we have.
But freedom is implicit.
Freedom is above all else.
Of course, law and order is super, super important, or you can't maintain the freedom.
There's this zealous cheering in the background.
They don't even know what he was saying or anything.
tim pool
Yeah, I think I sweated it.
Let me see if I can pull it up.
ian crossland
It's gorgeous.
So this is like weak leadership, because a normal leader would be like, yo, you can't have that crime in California.
Step it up.
Get the National Guard over there.
You cannot let that go down.
And let's fix the border.
tim pool
But now you get why people want Trump?
Because Trump walks on stage and mocks a journalist who got body slammed.
Because Trump comes on stage and when Megyn Kelly is like, you know, you called women fat pigs, he goes, only Rosie O'Donnell!
And with that, with pure confidence, I don't care, I'll do what I want, and a lot of people went, good, finally someone who's going to be at least strong.
ian crossland
He is somewhat, and I don't know him personally, I'd love to meet him, but his bulking at sending out the National Guard during the George Floyd riots baffles me.
He didn't want to be seen as a bad guy.
I think he's concerned too much about his public opinion.
I mean, it's a tough job, and I don't like backseat driving this thing.
tim pool
I think hindsight, Trump would have done it.
Hindsight being 2020.
I think right now, if you ask Trump, do you now regret not deploying or invoking the Insurrection Act and sending out the troops, he'd probably say, yeah.
ian crossland
Yeah, you step up, you put it out early, you put out the fire right away.
tim pool
Because he lost anyway.
ian crossland
There's no destructive riots.
You've got to get on it early, though.
The same thing with the border.
When you let them come in, then more people will come and you'll have an even bigger flood of people.
So you've got to stomp it out quickly.
You've got to set up border defenses and prevent it right away.
tim pool
The bigger question, I suppose, is what is Trump doing right now to counteract the shadow campaign that is obviously in play to stop him from- He's got Truth Social.
ian crossland
Truth Social is about to launch video.
Let's show people the alternative.
service that's pretty cool and he's a co-owner of that company so that's
that's definitely like it's a technological war in a lot of ways so
we're up against you know banking cartels and not we I'm not saying it
we're all but there's a banking cartels that are trying to control us through
technocracy econo technocratic I think econo technic is what Dennis Kucinich
called it an econo technic governor I thought it was fascinating well I like
tim pool
true social let's show people the alternative I'd like to give you a
couple clips of your president From clown world.
Biden.
Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy?
Because that's America.
Okay, well, here you go.
unidentified
Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy?
Because that's America.
tim pool
They all start clapping.
ian crossland
Yes, that one guy.
tim pool
What are they clapping for?
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
I'm gonna play it again.
unidentified
Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy?
Because that's America.
tim pool
Is there...
Is there something else here?
Is he saying Trump's so stupid he asks questions like, are you ready to choose freedom over democracy because that's America?
And they're laughing because he's making fun of Trump.
Are we missing some context here?
What are they clapping for?
What does this even mean?
I suppose freedom over democracy is republicanism?
ian crossland
Maybe it's a five second clip too.
I would love the context.
tim pool
But this one's more important.
Everybody's calling out Biden for telling Israel not to attack Israel.
It's actually good advice.
Israel, don't attack Israel.
That being said, it's not what he said, it's how he says it.
Watch this video.
Let me actually see if we can make it big for you.
unidentified
Be clear to Israelis.
Don't move on Haifa.
It's just not... I mean... Anyway, I just...
Look what we did recently when Israel was attacked.
tim pool
Look at his eyes!
unidentified
Don't move on Haifa.
It's just not... I mean... Anyway, I just... Look what we did recently when Israel was attacked.
tim pool
I'd like to say this man is being held together by duct tape, but the truth is he's being held together by amphetamines, NAD, and other vitamin IV supplements.
ian crossland
Man, you can see in his eyes after he says don't move on Haifa that he said the wrong word.
I think he realizes it and that's why he stops and he looks around goes anyway.
tim pool
Look at his eyes!
He can't see!
unidentified
It seems like he's gonna lose his ability to speak also.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
It's like he's starting to lose his ability to communicate and so him just moving his mouth looks like a lot of effort.
chris karr
But even at his most lucid, yesterday he dreamed up a story about his uncle being shot down and landing in a... Eaten by cannibals!
tim pool
Eaten by cannibals!
Oh, we gotta pull that one out.
chris karr
Yeah.
Yeah.
ian crossland
I still haven't watched the full speech.
This is a good one.
tim pool
Yo, the military apparently put out a statement saying...
chris karr
Even Associated Press was correcting it today.
tim pool
Oh, USA Today won't let me pull it up.
Was Biden's uncle eaten by cannibals near New Guinea?
White House admits Biden uncle wasn't eaten by cannibals.
Died in Pacific Ocean crash.
Ladies and gentlemen, your sitting president said to the world his uncle was eaten by cannibals.
I gotta hear it.
ian crossland
I didn't hear it with my own ears yet.
chris karr
Well, he suggested that that might have happened.
tim pool
He very heavily implies.
Here you go.
Where's the audio at?
chris karr
No, this isn't the clip.
unidentified
And on Sunday, the next day, my mother's four brothers all went down to the recruiting station and joined the military.
ian crossland
Why is he running?
unidentified
Every one of them volunteered.
And my uncle, they called him Ambrose, they called him Bozy.
My uncle Bozy was a hell of an athlete.
They tell me when he was a kid.
And he became an Army Air Corps before the Air Force came along.
He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones.
He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals for real.
chris karr
No, no, no way.
He told the story twice.
tim pool
There's only one inference, okay?
They didn't find the body because there were a lot of cannibals.
Joe Biden said his uncle was eaten by cannibals.
ian crossland
Dude, that guy... Oh, wait, wait.
tim pool
Can I just point something out real quick?
ian crossland
Please.
tim pool
When I was watching this clip, and he's like, my uncle was like an airman or whatever.
He says he flew the single-engine planes.
I was like, holy crap.
He's talking about 1920.
He's talking about 1920, dude.
ian crossland
P-50.
What are those?
Not P-51s.
Is that what they were?
P-51s?
Those are like propeller plane single.
North American Mustang.
Those are a little later.
unidentified
1941.
tim pool
What year was Biden born?
Someone want to pull up his birth year?
unidentified
Yeah. 44?
He's also just obviously way advanced, like even beyond what he did in 2020.
He is declining quickly.
ian crossland
The last year has been a de-escalation rapidly, rapidly terrifyingly.
tim pool
Biden was born during World War II.
unidentified
He's a year older, but it's getting way worse.
ian crossland
November 20th, 1942.
chris karr
And he actually told that story twice because he told it to reporters when he was at the Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport before he aborted Air Force One.
And when he told a story that time, he ended by saying, and this is the official White House readout, my, my gran, my uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, uncle, Uncle Bozy was a hell of a guy from what I, I never met him, obviously.
ian crossland
His Uncle Bo's ain't never been.
unidentified
He died in 44.
ian crossland
So he probably was flying a P-52 or a 51 or something, one of those propeller planes.
tim pool
So he's talking about the 40s and the 20s.
But wow, when I was like, what year is he?
unidentified
He's talking about, it's like 100 years ago, dude.
Yeah.
tim pool
It was actually wild when he was like, it was before the Air Force.
And he was in those single engine.
And I'm like, wait, wait, what year was the Air Force formed?
He said something like that.
What's the exact quote?
chris karr
He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea.
Uh, that's part of it somewhere.
tim pool
Eaten by cannibals.
He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time.
They never recovered his body.
The government went back, I went down there, and they checked and found some parts of the plane.
Oh yeah, he told reporters in Scranton.
He told it twice.
unidentified
Yeah.
chris karr
I thought it was just the one-off, but no, he's told his story twice now.
Incredible.
unidentified
Wow.
Yeah, one thing I thought was crazy is Nancy Pelosi was born in 1940.
That was a long time ago.
ian crossland
Yeah.
With Biden, I would love, Joe, please resign.
Don't resign the presidency.
Serve your term, but let somebody run, man.
We need a president right now that's cognitive.
We just need it, dude.
We need it, man.
It's not you.
It's not personal.
We need this.
I don't know who who would run.
Maybe our RFK is already off the Democratic.
He's not he's going to swap over and run as a Democrat.
Gavin Newsom hasn't even said a word about it.
Michelle Obama seems like she wants nowhere near that office.
unidentified
And who else could could service that role?
It seems like the Democrats, like, they're settled on Biden.
They like that they can control him.
I just don't know how long he's gonna live.
ian crossland
Or be cognitive.
tim pool
Yeah, you just say it.
ian crossland
You don't gotta hand me a note.
What is it?
Give me the goods.
tim pool
Iran may have just got hit.
But keep talking and we'll do some fact-checking while we go through it.
unidentified
Cool.
Okay.
chris karr
Yeah, the Democrats don't have a deep bench.
They don't really have anybody that they, at least that they think could get the votes.
They probably, in fact, don't have anybody that could get votes.
ian crossland
And Bernie Sanders just supported Biden?
chris karr
Yeah.
Not surprising at this point in his career.
ian crossland
AOC, can you like pull one out of the bullpen and like throw a save right now?
I know that you're supposed to be like a unit as the party, but not really.
You're supposed to be a unit as a country.
So we need a solid leader.
unidentified
Yeah, Republican infighting is horrible, but at least we all have brains to at least debate things and not all just back someone who's comatose because of the letter behind their name.
I mean, the fact that they're all backing Biden on the left, it's like, I don't even know how you can think that he's the functioning president.
tim pool
That video of him.
Did you see the milkshake video?
He's like Trump went and bought everybody milkshakes and everyone's like laughing and cheering.
So Biden's now trying to go buy like milkshakes and sandwiches.
He went to a Wawa.
ian crossland
Apparently staged.
unidentified
That's a copy Trump.
tim pool
And then he's like, what do you got?
unidentified
How about a milkshake?
tim pool
And the guy's like, just walk over there and you can order a milkshake.
He's like, black and white milkshake?
He's like, whatever you want, sir.
unidentified
And he's like, I'm gonna order a milkshake.
tim pool
And then he walks and starts walking off like Cornholio.
You know, the Cornholio hands is weird.
What is that?
ian crossland
I've heard it's something to do with mental degradation.
tim pool
Yeah, I've heard it's like a dementia thing.
Like where they put their hands out like this and they walk like Beavis.
unidentified
If we were doing Biden what the left is doing to Trump, I don't think Biden would survive.
tim pool
The stress. I don't know how Biden survives at all. I mean, he must be pumping him. He yeah,
full of there was that one image where it looked like an IV mark on his hand.
I bet they're given crazy like I bet he's they're pumping him full of NAD stem cells and meth.
Just you name it like anything to wire him up. Yeah, probably.
ian crossland
It's crazy when they'll do that to a leader.
Hitler was also on massive... I'm not saying that Biden is, because I don't know officially.
tim pool
Right, we don't know.
ian crossland
Hitler was on a lot of drugs, too.
tim pool
You ever see that video of Hitler rocking back and forth?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
That's a good one.
tim pool
He's out of his mind.
That dude was on drugs.
No wonder his brain was rocking.
They had that doctor.
ian crossland
Was it doctor?
Not Dr. Fielder.
That was Michael Jackson's doctor.
He had a doctor that would service him.
tim pool
Yeah, not that one!
ian crossland
Hitler's doctor.
That's an interesting guy to read about.
tim pool
I don't I don't I was pissed off this morning like I don't know there was like breaking news something happens and then I see this video of Biden clearly incapable of speech his eyes are squinting Israel don't attack Israel and I'm like what?
How is there any amount of people saying they're gonna vote for Joe Biden?
If they came out and said I didn't vote for Joe I'll vote for RFK like RFK should be at 53 among women not Joe Biden.
The fact that there's a single human being being I'm voting for Joe Biden says there's something deeply wrong with humans.
ian crossland
Yeah, maybe they're voting for who they thought he was a couple years ago, which was even strange because like five years ago, I can get it.
Five years ago, the Biden of five or six years.
What happened was that we kind of dipped out of the public eye between 2016 and Almost 2020, really.
I didn't hear much from him in the media until he ran for president.
unidentified
The left has total control over the media, and every information that they disseminate is propping up Biden.
They don't actually have free discourse like we're doing here.
They're basically just there in order to push Biden across the finish line, and a lot of people don't even look beyond that.
They don't look beyond what they see on social media or on whatever, Instagram or something.
They just think, oh, wow, I think Republicans are evil.
I have to vote for whoever the Democrat is.
Vote for Biden.
ian crossland
There's this thing, thinking of winning and losing.
This is something I was a little critical of Donald Trump about, and I will be directly to your face, Don, if you want to talk about it.
But talking about winning, it's not really about winning.
Like, yeah, there is a vote process that then will show who got more votes.
But the winning is us all surviving and living in peace.
It doesn't really matter who the president is.
If there's someone better than you, then they should be president.
And so the idea of winning, it's like, let's get our guy across the finish line.
There's no finish line here.
We just need a solid organizer at the helm.
unidentified
Like, we have to change the culture, you're saying.
ian crossland
Definitely.
unidentified
Yeah, not just the election.
tim pool
Let's jump into this breaking news.
We may have World War III, or maybe not, we don't know.
Jerusalem Post reports explosions heard in Iran, Syria, Iraq, according to a report.
Explosions were heard in Isfahan in central Iran in the As-Suwaida.
Governorate of South Syria, in the Baghdad area, and Babel Governorate of Iraq, early Friday morning according to initial reports.
This is breaking right now, we don't have a lot of information.
Spectator Index says, Sky News Arabia reports, citing Iranian media, that there have been three large explosions in Isfahan, Iran.
So there is concern this may be an Israeli retaliation.
We don't know, but While we wait for more information on that, I do want to point out, I believe U.S.
support for Israel is over.
Completely.
Right now, what we're looking at is the older generations, who support Israel, and religious folk who do, they tend to be older.
All of these people support Israel.
The younger generation is of two minds.
One, deeply anti-Israel, completely opposed in support of Palestine.
The other, anti-interventionist, doesn't want to fund it at all.
When the boomers and those who are pro-Israel and Gen X pass on, it's going to be 65-70% no Israel.
You're gonna get a bunch of, like, the Trump base is gonna be split down the middle between people who are like, we like Israel, and the other half being like, yes, but we don't want to fund it.
They can defend themselves, but no funding.
Like Vivek was saying, I want them to defend themselves, they can defend themselves, but we shouldn't be giving them money.
And then you're gonna have the left just screaming, no, period, we oppose Israel.
So that means you're going to have Three-fourths of the political bases saying we will not support Israel and only a small percentage.
So we have this big story going on at Columbia.
Ilhan Omar's daughter was suspended.
Multiple students were arrested at Columbia during pro-Hamas protest.
They've been occupying Colombia in support of Palestine, opposing Israel.
And so I see this and I'm just like, yeah, young people are not going out in support of Israel.
We do not see occupations at universities in support of Israel.
And the younger generation that are on the other side of this are like, the U.S.
government shouldn't be funding this.
It's not our war, it's not our problem.
I don't see how Israel...
I don't see how U.S.
support for Israel lasts longer than 20 years.
Like, 20 years from now, I just see it being gone.
unidentified
Well, one thing that's crazy is a lot of Jews in America vote for Democrats.
So, that's kind of a problem, because you'd think they would be the main people who would be wanting to support Israel.
I think that's actually... But a lot of the time that, well, recently they've been waking up, but a lot of them in the past have not been.
tim pool
I think that's a good, that's a great point to exemplify how Israel is not all Jews.
Because there are progressive Jewish people who march with pro-Palestinian protesters.
They don't like Israel.
They're Jewish and in America.
So it's not a monolith.
unidentified
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
tim pool
The Israeli government is definitely different.
It does.
It's not a monolith.
There are Jews in the United States who don't care or don't like Israel.
They were always allowed to do that and feel that way.
But it shows that there is not some unified belief that Israel should be... There was a big group of...
Jewish protesters with leftists and they were saying they were anti-Zionist Jews.
They don't believe that Israel had a right to exist.
I'm like, well, there they go. They exist. And they vote for these policies from the Democrats.
So that's another point. 20 years. It's over.
unidentified
It's like people who are Muslim and Democrats going out there for LGBTQ stuff as if that's something that's going
on in the Middle East.
It's like those people wouldn't really survive in the Middle East.
So they have a very strange coalition of people that.
All right.
Totally different things.
tim pool
So we're not quite there yet, but Spectator Index is saying Syrian media reports Israeli airstrikes in Syria and warplane activity now across Iraq, which is indicative of the explosions in Iran may have been in Israeli retaliation.
Which means, I don't know, Russia enters the war on the side of Iran.
ian crossland
They said they would if the U.S., yeah, if the U.S.
tim pool
got involved.
But the U.S.
is already in on the side of Israel.
ian crossland
And they said they're not sending, Biden said he's not sending weapons anymore.
Or he said, I don't know, they said they're not going to help if Israel responds to this attack, whatever you want to call it.
What happened?
Israel attacked a consulate, is that what it was?
And then Iran responded by shooting 300 ballistics, some of them drones, some of them missiles.
tim pool
Israel targeted an Iranian general who was organizing and commanding Hamas.
As part of their war with Hamas.
ian crossland
And that was in Syria?
It was in Syria.
tim pool
Iran retaliated with a direct strike from Iran and through militia groups and the Houthi rebels into Israel, striking an Air Force base.
ian crossland
I think one girl died, I've heard.
tim pool
In Israel?
ian crossland
One person died, I think.
tim pool
I've heard.
So of 300 attacks, five of them broke through, and Israel vowed to retaliate.
It may be happening right now.
ian crossland
There's an excellent debate that went on last night with Zero Hedge.
It was Dennis Prager and Bhatia Ungar-Sargon versus Cenk Uygur and Dave Smith, and they were talking about this all night.
Sagar and Jetty, the moderator, was fantastic, and you should watch this hour-to-hour debate.
I've seen about an hour and a half so far.
I was listening to it before I fell asleep, and one of the things that Dave points out Very, very clearly, is that the Israeli government propped up Hamas in 2003, four, five, something like that, in order to guarantee discrepancy between the Palestinian governments.
They had the PLO and they're like, we want two so that they can't get a two state solution.
And so the argument Dave can make it was, how can you defend Israel being like, Hey, Hamas, how could you do that to us?
We're going to attack you when they were the ones that propped Hamas up.
They thought they could, in quotes, control the flame of Hamas.
chris karr
Right.
We control the height of the flame, is what Netanyahu said.
Yeah.
ian crossland
It's like, you fund the bad guy until they get so dangerous that you have to fight the bad guy.
It's happened over and over again, historically.
And so, like, so many people know that, that they funded Hamas, and they're like, they have no tolerance for this idiocy.
Like, the cognitive dissonance is shattering, shaking, and, like, aligning.
People are seeing what they've done.
I think that's where, why the support is waning, personally.
chris karr
And it wasn't even like there was some sort of ineptitude involved in this, like they funded Hamas as a strategy.
It was a targeted strategy.
And, you know, I mean, it's led to a really bad situation, obviously.
Did you know that?
That Hamas was funded by Israel as a strategy?
unidentified
No, no.
chris karr
Does that change your point of view of the dynamics that are at play in that situation?
I know it certainly did when I found out about it.
unidentified
I mean, to be honest, I feel like a lot of younger people just don't really want us involved in foreign wars.
And I think I kind of see it similarly to that in the sense that I don't think we need to be mediating every foreign conflict and being involved in kind of the internal politics of every country.
Obviously, I think Israel should defend itself.
I feel like America has major problems at home.
I mean, we just sent more money to Ukraine.
We're not putting in anything to our border.
We have serious issues.
tim pool
So, OSINT Defender says Iraqi sources reporting airstrikes in the capital of Baghdad have targeted a building in which a high-ranking meeting was taking place involving several Iranian-backed groups and members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Very much sounds like Israel launched a strike in Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
ian crossland
I wonder what they think is going to happen to their country now.
tim pool
What does Israel think?
Yeah.
Israel's thinking, you know, the way I described it on Twitter is, you ever see these videos where it's like some short woman is yelling at a guy, being like, screw you, my boyfriend could beat you up!
My boyfriend will beat your ass!
And the guy's like, oh yeah.
And the guy's like, come on, stop, stop.
I don't want to get in a fight with this guy.
And then they get into a fight.
That's basically what it's like.
Like Israel is basically saying, Like, Israel's at war.
They're fighting.
I know the analogy's not perfect because basically, like, the other guy's girlfriend hit the girl first.
Like, Hamas and Israel have been fighting for a long time.
Israel retaliates against those who are at war with them and they're at war with.
And then Iran strikes Israel.
Now Israel says, we're striking back.
But Israel's attitude is probably like, the U.S.
is standing right behind us.
Doesn't matter what Joe Biden says in the short term.
We know that if it comes to war, the U.S.
enters on the side of Israel.
Russia enters on the side of Iran.
ian crossland
But at what cost?
Man, what are they thinking?
What is this policy?
I don't get it.
You would think the Iranians had to do something in return.
That's why they fired those ballistics.
99% of them didn't get through.
tim pool
Do you know why they did?
In response?
ian crossland
I think it was so they didn't look weak to their own people.
tim pool
And because there would be a revolution in Iran if they did nothing.
ian crossland
Yeah, if they wouldn't fight back, the people would be like, get out government.
tim pool
And the same is true for Israel.
ian crossland
And so now, but it's like, this is part of the debate last night, and it was all pretty clear, like, you won, Israel.
Like, you got it.
You got them over.
The Iron Dome worked.
You don't need to push any harder now.
tim pool
That doesn't matter.
The people of Israel would not accept a government that refused to tell after being attacked.
ian crossland
But a lot of the people in Israel, as far as I can tell, don't want the war.
A lot of people don't want war.
tim pool
Nobody wants war.
ian crossland
Nobody really, except for governments, oftentimes.
tim pool
And so the attitude is always like this.
The people of Iran say, Israel attacked our embassy and they killed our guy.
We can't stand for that.
You have to.
They attacked us.
And it's like, okay.
And then Israel goes, no, that guy's commanding a military that attacked us.
And then Hamas is like, you occupied our land.
You attacked us.
No one thinks they started the war.
Everyone's defending themselves from everyone else.
And the rest of us get pulled into that Middle East quagmire.
ian crossland
Man, hypersonic weapons are no joke, dude.
tim pool
Did you guys watch the PSA from New York on how to survive a nuclear bomb?
Remember that a couple years ago?
ian crossland
Oh yeah, three years ago.
tim pool
Yeah, they said to, uh, what, like, cover the windows, stick towels under the doors, duck and cover?
unidentified
That would really work well.
tim pool
Well, the idea is not to survive a direct impact.
It's for, like, the radioactive particles that'll go through the air and stuff.
So you want to make sure dust particles aren't coming under your door.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, because that radiation will get in your food, and then it goes in your thyroid, and then, you know, it's... What is it?
Iodine-131?
Is that what it is?
ian crossland
That helps you prevent radiation damage?
tim pool
No.
Iodine-131 is the radioactive isotope which enters your thyroid and then gives you cancer.
I think, though, that the other... I could be wrong on the number, though.
Is it 131?
ian crossland
Yes, yes.
unidentified
The other countries in the Middle East, though, like Iran, I mean, Iran is pretty antagonistic towards us.
Big time.
Yeah.
ian crossland
Yeah, ever since the Iranian revolution.
Israel is our ally.
The Iranians used to be a democratic country, and then the, what was it, the CIA that overthrew the Shah to put in the Ayatollah Khomeini, is that right?
unidentified
Carter was behind all that, and he really messed up that whole situation, and that's how we ended up with Khomeini.
ian crossland
And also, according to Dave Smith, who's a freaking genius?
He's talking about Iraq, and what we did in Iraq was there was this Shia minority in charge of the country and all these Sunnis in the country, which Iran is a Sunni nation.
So we went in, we disrupted the Shia government, all these Sunnis then... Am I getting this wrong, Serge?
Can you unmute and explain this?
Thank you.
serge du preez
Iran is Shia, not Sunni.
ian crossland
Then maybe I'm getting it backwards But basically when and we disrupted the flow and then all
the Iraq this Iraqi it just created all this Iranian influence in Iraq and they
Basically have bound together now more or less way more than they were they used to be a war
Saddam Hussein was we were funding Saddam Hussein to fight the Iranians. I think that's the way it was going
unidentified
I mean, they all don't want Israel there because Israel's basically like
Pro US type of place that's right next to them and And Israel's bordering these countries that hate them.
I mean, none of them want to take in Palestinians because I don't think they want to resolve the Palestinian conflict.
You know, Egypt's like, no way, I'm not, I'm not, we're not going to take them.
I mean, all these countries could.
Like, they, they don't want to solve the peace though because it helps them if Israel seems like the bad guy and is, you know, the one perpetuating the conflict.
They want to be, they want to be anti-Israel.
Not just because of the conflict with the people.
It's clearly a bigger conflict, I think, with the Middle East being anti-American and anti-Israeli.
tim pool
Spectator Index now reporting that several commercial planes appear to be diverting from parts of Iranian airspace.
Blasts were heard, Al-Arabia reporting, Siding Runner International, several blasts heard in Isfahan, warplanes in Iraq.
Yeah, so, you know, duck and cover.
They said, they were talking... Potassium iodide is what you want to protect yourself from, iodine-131.
So, we'll give everybody some information that may save their lives.
When there is radiation from a nuclear blast or something like that, the first concern is Iodine-131.
It's very light, so it can travel about relatively easily.
And if it gets in your hands and it gets into your body, it will be absorbed by your thyroid and then cause cellular death and mutation, which can kill you.
So what people do is they buy potassium iodide.
All that does is give your body so much iodine that it can't absorb anymore.
So if you accidentally ingest the radioactive isotope, your body just passes it and doesn't keep it in your body.
This is why radiation suits are actually just thin cloth.
Because you're not actually trying to protect yourself.
Or sometimes like plastic or something.
But it's not about protecting yourself from like gamma wave radiation.
You're trying to block out alpha and beta particles.
Small bits of matter that emit radioactive waves.
And so during... I learned all this because I went to Fukushima.
And so there was on the ground, the radiation levels was something like 200 times background.
And we were walking it.
So, you know, there's some concern there for me and Luke, who were there, and our guide, Fixer, she died of cancer.
I think thyroid cancer.
Because she wasn't wearing any gear and did it over and over and over again.
But, yeah, there's MOX, there was, what was it, I think it was MOX plutonium was one of the reactive particles that came out of Fukushima, but that was very dense and it sank and didn't make it very far.
But iodine-131 could travel on the surface of water or in the air and that had people freaked out in California.
I was in California when Fukushima Daiichi happened, and potassium iodide was sold out in every store in like 20 minutes.
Yeah, crazy.
So, in the event that, you know, someone launches an ICBM, have you signed up for your local Vault Tech vault?
ian crossland
Oh yeah, Vault Tech.
No.
No, I haven't.
Vault 420.
Daily Rations.
I see you in the chat.
tim pool
There's a company that's advertising all over Instagram that they make underground bunkers.
Mark Zuckerberg built an underground bunker.
Have you gotten one?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
We're part of a different company that has a variety of lodging from underground to above ground and stuff in the middle of nowhere.
Super cheap.
It's not really expensive.
It's not like you really think about it.
I'll give a shout out to Fortitude Ranch.
Because what they do is it's more so like vacation rentals that are equipped for the apocalypse.
So for the most part, people go out there, they go hunting, it's like, people who like, you wanna go rough it.
unidentified
But in case the apocalypse hits, you're there.
tim pool
I think the real business proposition for something like Fortitude Ranch is you get to go and check out what looks like a cool survival place while you hang out in a log cabin and watch movies with your wife or whatever and enjoy popcorn by the fire and sit outside and there's chickens and animals and it's more so a getaway.
That's the real value proposition.
But hey, if you're a member, you have your vacation.
If the apocalypse happens, I suppose you bought your winning lottery ticket.
I think most people don't really expect the world to end that way and for you to really need to go underground or anything like that.
But we hung out at the one in West Virginia and it's real fun because it's just like a dog running around and they got chickens and, you know, you hunt and there's a shooting range and stuff like that.
So it's really just like a resort.
Like a woodsy backcountry resort kind of deal.
Yeah.
unidentified
That's fun.
ian crossland
My mind's like, is it too late?
You guys think it's too late for the culture of victory?
tim pool
You know, maybe World War Three is why they don't care about Joe Biden.
Maybe the reason they don't seem to be campaigning all that hard is because they're just like, we don't care about any of this.
World War Three is on schedule.
And so none of that matters.
Trump is sitting there going, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, and they're like... World War III is coming, buddy.
unidentified
Yeah, they don't even care about campaigning.
I mean, they clearly have no concerns about the fact that Biden is incapable of campaigning.
Not just that he won't, but he literally, like, physically probably can't, and mentally can't.
ian crossland
Which makes me think that they want it.
unidentified
So, they have other plans.
ian crossland
Yeah, like, they prefer that he's incapable, because otherwise you'd desperately get another candidate right away.
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, if they put him in front of people, it looks bad.
tim pool
Looks like we got...
Jerusalem Post is posting some kind of video.
ian crossland
This could be fake.
tim pool
This is Jerusalem Post.
ian crossland
What's that mean?
Oh, Jerusalem Post, I see.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
This is coming from Suwayda24.
Can't really see anything, though.
ian crossland
Fog of war.
tim pool
Just sounds like rockets are being launched.
Residents of... Oh, here you go.
Objects seen in the sky above Jerusalem after Iran launched drones.
Okay.
So we still don't know for sure.
No idea, no idea.
Maybe World War III just started.
Okay.
Illustrative image of an airstrike.
Right.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
As an aside, did you guys hear that Netflix made a documentary and used AI imagery in it?
ian crossland
Yeah.
unidentified
Some big scandal.
tim pool
Was it good?
No, they made a documentary about a woman who murdered somebody, and then to make her look innocent, they used an AI image of her looking happy and nice.
unidentified
Wow.
No kidding.
Wow.
tim pool
Something like that.
That's what people are posting on Twitter.
chris karr
Huh.
tim pool
That, like, it's a woman who got convicted of murder or something.
I could be wrong, because I only saw a cursory tweet.
But then there's a picture of her smiling and laughing, and it was an AI image.
They were trying to make it look like she was a normal, happy person before the case, but it was fake.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Yep.
ian crossland
My morale is shot right now, or how are you guys doing?
unidentified
AI is getting out of control.
tim pool
Your morale is shot like it's World War III?
ian crossland
This Israeli strike is making me really nauseous.
Not quite nauseous, but like, my heart is... Uneasy?
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, I mean, we're in West Virginia, so I'm not too worried.
ian crossland
We're all stuck on Earth, though.
tim pool
You know, even if the largest nuclear weapon ever was detonated over DC, it wouldn't affect us.
ian crossland
Not the blast, but reassuring.
chris karr
Good to know.
tim pool
Maximum Tsar Bomba, which would never penetrate DC defenses, by the way, because it's a gravity bomb, meaning they have to drop it.
We would feel like the windows would break.
ian crossland
That's it.
tim pool
There'd be no thermal radiation.
There'd be no radiation in general.
We would just feel a shockwave and be like, whoa, what just happened?
ian crossland
That's just if we were on a flat plane.
We also have the mountains and all that.
tim pool
Yeah, so once, like, right now, this is our, uh, tomorrow is our last day in the studio.
No more will there be the skateboard.
And actually, the skateboard might stay.
But the, the pirate ninja thing?
I don't even know what that's all about, to be honest.
unidentified
Love it.
tim pool
That's gonna stay.
And then, uh, the new studio will be Monday.
And then, yeah, we got mountains all over.
Yeah, so that's great.
Yeah, ain't nothing getting through.
And, uh, but they do airburst for that reason.
The nukes blow up in the air so that the wave goes over and hits more terrain.
But, uh, standard nuclear warheads, they would not reach anywhere near where we are.
It's pretty wild, though.
If you look at the, uh, it's like a nuclear detonation map or something, and they show you the range, how big a blast would be.
And you can, it's remarkable how ground strikes They cover nothing.
Nuclear bomb hits the ground?
Nothing.
It barely spreads.
Like, it's significant, don't get me wrong, but airburst just hits everything because it spreads out maximum shockwave damage, fire, and everything.
And so...
Standard nuclear warheads would, we probably wouldn't even hear any, we might hear like thunder.
We might hear like a boom and be like, oh, I wonder what that was.
Then we look on the news and be like, holy crap.
Because some of these things could wipe out all of DC.
Intercontinental ballistic missile.
And it's crazy, because we're like an hour away from it, driving, but that's far enough to where you notice.
ian crossland
There's this channel on YouTube called The Great War, and it is a documentary channel about World War I. And they started it in 2014, like the week that World War I started, a hundred years later.
And then every week they would put out videos about what happened in World War I. And he keeps, Indiana is the guy's name, he keeps reminding you about the horror of modern war, because you don't know what weapons are going to get used.
They haven't been introduced yet.
And so the tank, for instance.
Trench warfare.
They thought this is how they've always fought trench warfare.
Then they invented, like, gas attacks.
Flamethrowers.
tim pool
Machine guns.
ian crossland
Yeah.
Yeah, the machine gun.
And people just run, as normal, forward and just get mowed.
There's film of people just falling.
tim pool
The Battle of Gettysburg.
The Confederates were using breech loaders, and the Union army had adop- I'm sorry, the Confederates were using muzzle loaders, and the Union had adopted breech loaders.
So, the Confederates were fighting with a bang, stuff the thing down, and the Union was fighting with bang, crack, in, close, bang.
ian crossland
Yup.
tim pool
So the Union were like, their rate of fire was way higher.
And so the Confederates are standing there trying to reload, just getting mowed down like crazy.
Wow.
Yeah.
Technological advances, man.
But, they didn't know?
ian crossland
This is, and at the end of every episode of The Great War, pretty much every episode, Indy's like, The horror of modern war.
And in that week, 170,000 people were killed, or like 80,000 people died in that three-month battle of the Isonzo River.
They fought, the Italians were fighting the Isonzo River like 11 times.
tim pool
Kyle Petty says, Tim, you can still be hit by the radiation.
Fallout rides the wind stream, which flows to the east.
We have been very much over this.
Not only are we surrounded by mountains, but the wind travels east.
We will not be hit by radiation through the wind.
Short of any kind of rotating wind pattern that changes, almost, like, in all circumstances, it carries up towards New York.
It doesn't go back west.
So yeah, not worried.
I suppose it's due to the mountains.
The wind doesn't flow in that direction, it's blocked.
And so it ends up being pushed in a different direction.
New York will get hit by a lot of radiation.
If DC were to get hit, it's crazy.
The path of radiation through the wind, Like, if D.C.
got hit, New York would have to issue a warning that D.C.
is hours away from being slammed by a wave of radioactive particulates.
Imagine being in New York and hearing that.
In a couple hours, the whole city will be inundated by radiation.
Hide in your basements now.
Seal all your windows before it's too late.
People get in their cars and start driving.
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, most people in the apartments don't have basements.
tim pool
Yep, you gotta stick towels in the doors, and fill up your bathtub with water, and then seal it, because once that water's gone, you're done.
Yep.
unidentified
Wow.
Yeah, I mean, World War I, like you were saying, it created so much disillusionment.
It, like, totally changes the culture.
Like, you think war's like, oh, war's gonna happen and it'll be over with, but, like, the world was never the same after that.
I mean, even the word irony, it never really existed before World War I.
But after that, it's like people were fighting, they were dying, and they didn't really know why.
And I think so many young men were probably just like, wow, I'm so disillusioned with the world now.
tim pool
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Spectator Index is outright reporting Israel has conducted missile strikes on Iran.
chris karr
Wow.
tim pool
Spectator Index, let's see if we can get any more confirmation.
Ladies and gentlemen, who will know when World War III began?
chris karr
It says U.S.
official tells ABC News that Israel conducted airstrikes.
unidentified
Holy crap, dude.
chris karr
Two seconds ago.
tim pool
Oh, man.
This is wild.
Commercial flights are being diverted.
Emirates are being diverted.
ian crossland
Wow.
tim pool
Spectator indexes report U.S.
officials tell ABC News Israel conducted airstrikes on a target in Iran.
ian crossland
Oh, my God.
tim pool
Let's see if we can get this.
chris karr
I mean, we essentially knew that they would, you know, it's just a matter of time.
So here we are.
ian crossland
I thought they wouldn't.
chris karr
What made you think that?
ian crossland
That they already, their Iron Dome's good enough.
They don't need to.
That was what I thought.
chris karr
Well, I would, uh, I'm gonna have to send you a copy of an interesting essay that I read called, uh, Israel, the psychotic nation.
Quite the reading experience.
ian crossland
Yeah.
chris karr
It's written by an academic and he basically takes the characteristics that apply in psychology to psychotic people and then uses Israeli and Jewish sources in their own words to show that that those same characteristics apply to that entire nation.
ian crossland
Like the government?
chris karr
Well, not just the government because, I mean, the people in Israel do support this war, overwhelmingly.
Okay, if not a war, they support the response that they've taken against and the Gaza Strip against Palestinians.
So it's not just the government in this case.
ian crossland
Likud is the name of the government?
chris karr
Yeah, that's who runs the government right now.
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, so I think on TV, ABC News must have reported this.
It's not on Twitter yet, but I'm seeing a lot of people have posted this.
Let's see if we can get some of the latest on what's going on with... U.S.
official tells ABC News.
I'm seeing it posted all over Twitter.
Spectator Index had it.
So I think that's... Who's Joe Truesman?
FDD Senior Research Analyst says, for Palestinian groups, U.S.
officials confirm Israel has launched airstrikes on Iran, reports ABC News.
Uh, I wonder if it was on ABC News TV.
All right, well, have you bought your Safe and Ready Meals today?
Safeandreadymeals.com, the premier location for picking up emergency food.
I hope you have some.
ian crossland
Yeah, and the feeling you have right now of, oh my god, I didn't get it yet.
You still got time.
Just make sure you don't ever feel that again.
tim pool
This is, uh, man, I don't know what to expect tomorrow.
Iran firing on Israel, direct territory to territory, was shocking.
Israel retaliation means this is formal war between Israel and Iran.
The U.S., I do not see any circumstance where the U.S.
does not get behind Israel.
The only hope for the deep state now is that Donald Trump wins, and it is the craziest thing imaginable.
Joe Biden's been backing down.
He's scared of the progressive left.
I'm just imagining deep state guys right now in their deep state office room going, ugh.
unidentified
We actually want Trump.
tim pool
It's Trump.
He hates the Ukraine stuff, but he defends Israel.
And they're like, ugh.
You saw the CIA reported Ukraine's going to fall this year?
ian crossland
Yup.
unidentified
The Democrats are still obsessed with Ukraine though.
It's like their number one issue.
tim pool
I have to imagine with this, let me see if I have this, do I have this SINA report?
CIA director warns Ukraine could lose war with Russia by the end of the year unless US sends more aid.
Okay.
I kind of feel like they're going to... Joe Biden is not going to provide Israel with what they need.
Trump is way more bullish on supporting Israel.
unidentified
Yeah, Biden acts like he wants to distance himself from Israel and acts like, whoa, hold on, I don't want to get involved, but yet wants to send endless billions of dollars to Ukraine.
tim pool
Well, if this does become World War III, you watched it live on TimCast IRL.
You know the crazy thing is, whatever does end up happening, these strikes are historically significant, and it's a weird thought that a hundred years from now they're gonna be like, we have an archive, an old podcast that was live during the initial strikes, and here's how these people reacted.
And then the kids are gonna be watching like, they're so stupid!
Like, why are they acting like such morons?
They not understand what's going on?
It's like, well, people back then were very dumb!
That's what they're gonna say!
Well, I mean, to be fair, if idiocracy happens, they're gonna be like, why are they so smart?
unidentified
I don't understand them, so they're the idiots.
tim pool
I have a feeling they're gonna call us stupid.
And they're gonna be like, I can't believe they did not realize what they were doing.
These people.
You know?
ian crossland
Us?
tim pool
Us.
Yeah, it's gonna be like 100 years from now and the kids are gonna be... Their clothes are gonna be potato sacks and they're gonna be covered in filth.
And they're gonna power the computer to watch the video by riding a bicycle to generate the electricity to turn it on.
And there's gonna be a guy just like riding like crazy like, I just gotta keep it up for like 20 more minutes.
And they're gonna play the video and they're gonna see what the world used to be like before the war destroyed everything.
And then there's gonna be like... How could they have done this to us, you know?
Or maybe they'll be in space.
They'll be on Mars.
Fort Elon.
So that's how the Earth ended.
I suppose we'll see.

But we are going to read superchats for now, if YouTube actually lets me.
And it appears like it is not.
ian crossland
Utubiae.
That's pig latin.
unidentified
Is pig latin like a racist or derogatory term?
ian crossland
I like it.
chris karr
Against pigs?
ian crossland
Utubiae, when you say u, like you put the letter at the end of the word and there's an a afterwards.
I don't know where it comes from.
tim pool
I think, I think we are not going to be able to read superchats.
ian crossland
Utubiae, did you make it so we can't get superchats?
Or is it just a glitch in the system?
Because I see superchats, like this one from DC Stone.
The Iron Dome failed.
Scott Ritter talked about it.
Five of seven Iranian missiles hit the most protected airbase in Israel.
chris karr
I saw that interview.
That was a really interesting take that Scott Ritter had.
I never heard of that guy prior to that, but he is basically arguing that Israel was severely attacked by Iran on that airstrike.
tim pool
Really?
chris karr
And he's also arguing that basically Israel is losing the war in the Gaza Strip.
ian crossland
Wow.
chris karr
Yeah, it made me look him up a little bit.
It seems like he's got some pretty impressive credentials as an intelligence person.
tim pool
I was able to get some superchats, but only up to 827, so a lot of them did get erased.
Sorry to anybody who did superchat earlier, but we'll do what we can.
PPS Design says, so I have extremely liberal friends and family in SoCal that are openly talking about voting for Trump.
Israel-Iran seem to be the defining factor.
benny johnson
Wow.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
To think, PPS Design and Build LLC, you super chit that before the breaking news that Israel had launched airstrikes on Iran, potentially, I don't want to say starting, but World War III, here we go.
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe World War III started with October 7th.
Sorry, I don't think the fear of the jury is Trump.
I am more worried the jury sees the evidence, or lack of, and is more worried about the consequences of finding him not guilty in saying it.
You mean like the jury will say not guilty and then people will come after them or something?
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
What do you mean?
ian crossland
Yeah, that's what I got out of it.
tim pool
Eric Mintz says, for the record, I like your here to talk about this and much more.
Way better than this and everything else.
I like the consistency too.
I know you probably felt like you were on repeat, but still.
Well, it was only like a couple months I was saying that.
We just kind of say different things every so often.
ian crossland
Hey, I got a good super chat.
tim pool
Talk about this and much more!
ian crossland
Here's one from C.V.A.
Buck.
It says, four main radiation.
Neutron, dangerous to DNA, shielded by water.
Gamma, penetrating shield by lead.
Alpha, usually airborne contamination, risk to internal organs, shield by skin.
And beta, usually surface...cont...shield by clothes.
I see what you're saying.
Surface contact.
Okay, the super chat was truncated.
tim pool
Okay, that's cool.
Yeah, and the Hulk was hit by gamma wave radiation.
Really?
Which triggered a genetic thing or something.
ian crossland
So he must have, he should have been wearing lead.
unidentified
Yeah.
ian crossland
That would have protected him, apparently.
unidentified
You know in like 2016 they were saying like, oh we're so afraid Trump would have the nuclear codes if he won, like Hillary would say that?
Well now it's very concerning that Biden has the nuclear codes.
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
Corto Maltese, who is whinging and salty about me saying Donald Trump got on his knees for the court says, YouTube said don't say the CIA agent's name and Tim got on his knees and muttered okay YouTube please don't take my channel.
False!
Tim ran a full segment on The individual in question named Eric Caramella and YouTube masked the video to make it seem like they didn't actually take it down without telling me and I only discovered it like months later when I tried to highlight the video and I couldn't and then what I did was I made several posts on Facebook and every other social media platform saying the guy's name over and over again.
One of the posts was this, I wrote a note on an iPhone That said something like, ever since the beginning, when real people had discovered blah blah blah, and the first letter of every sentence spelled the guy's name out.
And then I wrote on Facebook, Eric Charlemella is a 50-year-old dentist from Dubuque, Iowa.
He has three kids.
And they deleted that post without warning.
unidentified
Weird.
ian crossland
Wow.
unidentified
Yep.
ian crossland
I missed the boat on that entire thing.
That was weird.
Is it even worth talking about?
He was like a whistleblower or something?
tim pool
He was a CIA analyst or official.
Not an official, but he worked for the CIA, and he was the guy who initiated the impeachment against Donald Trump over Ukraine, and he had direct ties to Democrat lawyers and things like this.
There's a big investigation.
There's actually another investigation that was just released by RealClearPolitics recently about the guy's name.
So, no, my good friend.
In fact, we did not.
That being said, After we went through a lot of it, we just said, we started, you know, avoiding saying the guy's name for the sake of doing the show, but when YouTube took down our Alex Jones, Michael Malice episode, I called Alex Jones and Michael Malice and asked them to come back immediately and do it again.
Three years later, YouTube deleted that episode.
So, uh, yeah.
It's an absurdity.
If I was the president, and a state judge said, you cannot go to the Supreme Court, I'd say with all due respect, I am going to the Supreme Court.
You make your move.
unidentified
Have a nice day.
tim pool
It's like, at a certain point you have to say, I call your bluff, bro.
You gotta call someone's bluff.
What's life worth living if you don't play strategically?
unidentified
But I think if Trump doesn't go, that doesn't mean that he's not fighting back against what they're doing.
I think it means that it was just a strategic decision to not go.
tim pool
I don't know that I agree with that.
I believe there is a possibility that, you know, I don't know his legal strategies and what they're looking at numbers-wise, so I can respect that.
So when someone says, you know, like, Trump must, or that we had to do something, like, no, no, no, I respect there's a strategy, but I don't know.
I'm just saying it sends a bad message if Trump doesn't go to one of the most important Supreme Court arguments in history because a lower court judge told him he wasn't allowed to.
I think Trump wins tremendously if he gets jailed for doing it.
unidentified
A lot of people not plugged into politics, though, don't even know what's happening.
tim pool
I don't see that as being material.
Is Trump going to defend this country by being at SCOTUS and sitting in front of these justices as two branches of government stare each other down and we see what this country can and will become?
Or is Trump going to be like, well, the judge said I'm not allowed.
chris karr
Yeah, and then he'll whine about it.
tim pool
Yeah.
chris karr
And roll over.
Yeah, that's what he's gonna do.
tim pool
If Trump goes to SCOTUS and he gets held in contempt, it will be the biggest power move done by a president in 100 years.
If he doesn't go, it looks like he's just saying, I have no choice, I can't, the judge won't let me.
So, I don't know.
Look, I respect that his lawyers are probably saying, holy crap, they screwed up, we're gonna win.
But you can't go to the SCOTUS thing, it won't fit into our strategy.
I'm sure that if I sat down with Trump, he'd say, look, here's why we're doing what we're doing.
I go, oh, I get it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Because I don't think he's without a plan.
I'm just saying we've had people message saying, like, Trump has to go to SCOTUS.
This is crazy that a judge would bar him from doing it.
So Trump is between a rock and a hard place on that one.
unidentified
I think his big power move, though, will be winning despite them doing all this to him.
So it's like... I don't think he's going to win.
Why?
You think Biden's going to win?
Oh, no, no.
tim pool
I mean, I mean the trial.
unidentified
Oh, I mean the election.
tim pool
Yeah, I'm also not super convinced either.
I mean, what are Republicans doing?
unidentified
Look.
tim pool
Republicans don't even know what's going on with the HAVV scandal that's been happening.
Let me see if I can pull this up.
Major scandal.
Have they, uh...
unidentified
I just don't think our country can survive another four years of Biden.
Of course.
tim pool
The Help America Vote verification, since the story broke and Wokeness tweeted it out and we covered it on the show, it has been 18 days, 19 days, and the Social Security Administration has not updated their HAVV numbers.
So we are looking at 225,000 people every two weeks trying to register in Texas for a vote with no ID.
We're looking at, in one week, 23,000 dead people trying to vote.
No one's answered it.
Texas says it clearly is a mistake.
Missouri said, no, no, no, we're just trying to clean our voter rolls, which defies the purpose of HAVV, which says it's only for new voters.
And now the SSA has stopped publishing the numbers.
And the Republicans have no idea what this is.
So it's like, look, man, I wouldn't be surprised if Texas and Missouri go Democrat.
unidentified
But that would be because of actual, like, operational issues, not because, hey, the table was clear, like everything was even on both sides.
tim pool
Well, I think it's fair to say in 2020 Trump won the argument.
But Republicans weren't actually playing the game.
Republicans were like, an election is when I tell you my plan and you agree with me.
And the Democrats were like, an election is when I get a whole bunch of pieces of papers with people's names on them.
And the Democrats went around and ballot harvested, collected as many names, and then crossed their fingers they wouldn't get signature verification, and then their allies and people in these cities said, It's fine.
Lacks signature verification.
Dropped from like what was like 4% to like 0.1% and they steamrolled through a whole bunch of objectionable or questionable ballot harvested ballots likely from old folks homes and other places like that.
Republicans don't know what's going on with this.
They're not preparing for it.
We've been screaming hire Scott Pressler for years and they only have recently announced them.
Are they working with him now or did they cancel that?
I don't even know.
chris karr
They're not working with him.
tim pool
Right, they canceled it, I guess.
I thought they changed their minds.
unidentified
Republicans were focused on the campaign, and Democrats were focused on the election.
tim pool
What's changed?
unidentified
What are the ballots that are coming in?
I'm not saying that that has changed, because the Democrats realized, hey, that worked, so we're going to double down on that, even if we're running a completely comatose person, as long as we get the ballots.
But I think we have to fight fire with fire.
I mean, we have to do the things that they're doing.
We need to be going to old folks' homes.
We need to be doing what's legal, but to the extent of the law, and making sure that we're collecting them.
tim pool
I think what's likely changed now is, or I should say, there's a strong possibility that in Texas and Missouri, they have begun registering people somehow, for some reason, because we have the numbers from the Social Security Administration.
Texas and Missouri go Democrat.
They've been saying for a long time, Texas is turning blue.
It's a purple state.
It's really close.
So Trump wins all the swing states, like all the polls are saying.
Republicans are like, look, Trump's winning the swing states.
Then Texas and Missouri flip, and that guarantees Democrats victory.
unidentified
I don't think Texas is going to flip.
tim pool
When you have 1.5 million people who registered to vote with no IDs, I have to question what the shadow campaign is this time that Republicans aren't paying attention to.
unidentified
Well, they need to pay attention.
We still have time this year.
tim pool
And so I would agree with that, but in terms of do I think Trump is going to win, it's a big... I don't know.
The Social Security Administration stopped publishing the numbers on people with no IDs registering to vote after the story broke that 1.5 million people since January registered to vote in Texas with no IDs.
unidentified
That needs to be illegal.
That's totally unacceptable.
tim pool
Sure.
Who's doing anything about it?
Any Republican hearings?
Josh Hawley?
Gates?
Anybody filing anything?
Asking about what's going on?
I mean, this story's been up now for three weeks.
unidentified
As far as I know, Republicans are not fighting back on election integrity right now.
It's really concerning, because I think that's the playing field within which we're all trying to play.
So if the field is messed up, like, how are we supposed to be expected to win?
And I hate when people say things like, well, you just have to win by so much more that it doesn't matter how much they did that was illegal or shady or stealing or whatever.
It's like, no, that's totally ridiculous.
That's totally unfair.
We can't just cower and allow them to set those kind of playing fields.
So, no, I mean, I think that the American people have to bring that to their state and the states have to fight it out, I think.
tim pool
All right, let's read some more.
Zach says, I got an email this morning from Google on their changes to their terms, including clarity on abusive activity may be relevant to your YouTube issues.
That's right.
And so that's why I told the people at Google on the phone with them that this is retroactive enforcement.
You have changed the rules and then gone back and enforced new rules against old videos.
And they go, no, these rules were always in place.
And I was like, yes, but your editorial decisions were not.
They said, conspiracy theories are not allowed.
And then I said, Ron Paul said that JFK was killed by the CIA.
What about that?
And they're like, well, that's not a violent conspiracy theory like QAnon.
And I said, whether QAnon is violent or not is your editorial decision.
You can change at any moment.
And they were like, well, yeah, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, YouTube.
You're a garbage company.
But that's right.
All of the clips are available on Rumble.
And while I will mention this, I have been speaking with top men.
I don't want to say too much until we figure out the plans, but I have been speaking with Topman.
And make sure you follow the show at Timcast and Timcast IRL on YouTube.
I'm sorry, on X. And Rumble.com slash Timcast IRL as well.
Make sure you subscribe to these platforms.
The big challenge for us, though, is that many people watch on TV.
They pull up the YouTube app on their TVs to watch, so that's a lot of people who are going to have a more difficult time finding the show once we... once things change.
I'll put it that way.
unidentified
I want to say, though, if Trump doesn't go to the Supreme Court, I don't think that just because Trump doesn't do one thing that you want him to do, you shouldn't vote for Trump.
tim pool
Well, I agree.
I mean, what are you going to do, vote for Biden?
unidentified
Well, I just mean it's easy to nitpick everything about every single person.
Like, why didn't you do every single thing I wanted you to do?
ian crossland
Yeah, we don't need perfection right now.
unidentified
It's like, I hope that he goes there, but if he doesn't, I mean, we still have to vote for Trump.
We have to fight back.
tim pool
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
says, I agree with Triton 54 about Trump bending the knee.
I'll still vote for him, but also, I never expected Trump to be the hero people think he is.
That's a good point, too.
Trump is not this paladin sent from the high heavens.
He's not the god ember in the golden armor.
He is just the best chance we have and has been the whole time.
So, I can respect that.
ian crossland
And even Obama in the beginning, in the very beginning, he was ready to let the, we the people, which is the government.
We are the government.
We don't let some guy do it for us.
We are the motivating force of this nation.
And Obama was prepared to let us do a revolution.
He was going to stand by and allow it to happen.
He was, he was a revolutionary spirit, but he went in, no one did anything.
And then the deep state took him over because he didn't want to die.
So like you can only do so much as this guy, as the president, you know, it's we, the people that move together.
tim pool
I want to give a shout out to Rob Akar.
I think that's his name.
Not telling you to do it.
He says, first super chat and shameless plug, happy belated 20th anniversary to my indie author wife, Jennifer Karr.
Find her latest contemporary romance novel, Fall When You Are Ready, where books are sold and connect, at jkarrwrites, that's C-A-R-R.
Shout out!
To those who are part of the TimCast audience working to build culture, and I try to read your superchats whenever I can, I can't read all of them, but if I see it, I will definitely shout it out, because that's how you win a culture war!
And you also network with people.
Let's go.
Wyatt Caldenberg says, as a person convicted of contempt, it's 30 days per count.
It's up to the judge, you can't appeal it.
I got 23 counts of contempt of court when I was in jail, it was dropped to one count, Trump will get years for contempt.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
We'll see.
Maybe.
T Miller says, you forget this trial is rigged.
Nothing about this trial is about justice.
It's a show trial.
If the judge wants to arrest Trump, he'll find a reason.
He will find something.
So Trump should just go to the Supreme Court.
Or that it will be forced to expose them as being full of it.
Already, the prosecutors have said Trump violated the gag order an additional seven times.
And the judge is like, well, you know, we'll deal with that later.
The judge might be like, there's only so much I can actually do.
Will Chamberlain made a great point about the Supreme Court.
He said, it was on the show a long time ago, the Supreme Court is actually very reluctant to make heavy rulings because if they push too hard and people ignore them, it exposes the Supreme Court as having no enforcement authority.
If the Supreme Court says you're no longer allowed to do things, and everyone does it anyway, then everyone goes, hey, wait a minute.
The Supreme Court couldn't tell us to do anything at all the whole time.
They have no authority.
They have no enforcement capabilities.
ian crossland
You mean those nine people aren't really in control?
tim pool
They can say things, and then the assumption is, this is amazing, this is amazing.
The Supreme Court says, we hereby agree that, you know, law is as such.
And then cops go, okay I guess, the court said so.
What if they didn't?
What if they went, I don't care.
SCOTUS can do nothing.
It literally is just that we agree, as a society, if the Supreme Court says so, it is so.
unidentified
I mean, I also think Trump has done so much for us at a certain point.
We can't just always look to Trump to be the, like, white stallion hero.
It's like we have to also do things at the state level, at the local level.
We have to also do things to make sure that the playing field isn't totally biased.
ian crossland
Yeah, we need transparency in the voting machines for sure.
We need the code.
tim pool
Karasu Macha says Trump needs to go to the Supreme Court, then immediately after, announce his VP.
That would be an epic move, especially if the judge throws him in jail.
His voice would be the center of attention and advocate for Trump.
Interesting.
I wonder who the VP will be.
ian crossland
He apparently asked... Oh, no, no, that was hearsay.
Rob, Bobby Kennedy.
I don't know if that was true or not.
Somebody reached out to him.
tim pool
Samuel Eddie says, conspiracy theory.
Ian is the mult... Ian is the universe manifest, and if he remembers, we all die when he wakes up.
ian crossland
Oh, okay, I'll forget.
tim pool
So, we're working on a dump button.
A dump button means there will be, like, a 10-second delay on the show.
There already is, like, a 30-second delay, but that's normally through—that's, like, YouTube's latency issues.
That's a normal thing.
And so the dump button is, if someone says something naughty, instead of just taking the show down, I press a button, and then...
The show basically clips that out.
It's the same thing that Fox, MSNBC, CNN, every cable network has.
It's more expensive when they do it on TV, but they have a 7 second delay.
So if someone goes on and then starts swearing and stuff, they hit a button and then it just deletes that and never broadcasts.
The idea we had was, so what do we show people in that 10 seconds if someone says something insane?
So the idea is I press the button, all that does is trigger a video to play where it switches to Ian
and you hear his inner inner monologue and the voice of the show become muffled like
and then Ian's going, don't say graphene, don't say graphene, graphene.
And then it cuts back to the show just as like a bit.
ian crossland
Hydrogen.
unidentified
I love it.
That's great.
Just keep it on the censor.
Don't do MSNBC.
tim pool
Well then the show just gets deleted.
chris karr
Yeah, it's a YouTube thing.
unidentified
Because of YouTube.
chris karr
Right.
tim pool
So the idea is, well, the cable networks have their own restrictions as well.
We actually have, they're similar, like, We can say more than Fox News can say.
You know, if you were to go on someone's show... I can't remember who it was, but there's a handful of people who are banned from Fox News for saying things that aren't even that crazy.
unidentified
We'll just have to make our own second language.
tim pool
That doesn't work either.
You know, like thieves can't... They just decide to ban you.
unidentified
Because then they just figure out what it is.
ian crossland
Yeah.
Like, what are you doing making a fist?
What does that mean?
Or it's just like, you know, all these different symbols that people do.
unidentified
I don't know what they mean.
People have to meet in person then.
tim pool
Let's see, Mario Gretzky says, Bible prophecy, Tim.
When no one is left defending Israel, Jesus returns to defend it himself.
unidentified
Well, okay then.
ian crossland
What does that mean, though?
tim pool
It means that the younger generation is either anti-intervention or anti-Israel.
So in 40 years, Israel has no support in the United States.
ian crossland
Was it about Israel back in the Bible?
Because Israel, the Kingdom of Israel, was not Israel, the country.
They just have the same name, but they were different places and different things.
chris karr
Yes, correct.
Yeah, it's different.
tim pool
Pyropism says, Tim, when you finally have a kid of your own, if you don't create a Slice of Life channel on Timcast called Beanie Babies, I'm gonna be big sad.
Beanie Babies.
Alright.
2300gearjammer says, Hey Tim, the nuclear facilities are in Isfahan, Iran, and we are getting news of explosions in the area.
My wife is from Iran, and we have family there.
Buckle up.
Oh boy.
unidentified
God.
tim pool
Oh boy.
It's going to get crazy.
CR says Ian is delusional.
No, no, it was a joke.
It would just be a video, a fake video of Ian saying he'd be wearing different clothes.
ian crossland
I think that was in response to me talking about Obama being ready to roll with the people, but it's the people have to make the momentum.
You cannot rely on a president to do that for you.
tim pool
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
says, Tim, FYI, there's no Timcast IRL on X. What is that?
ian crossland
Oh yeah, I sent that to Serge.
I got a note about that from somebody.
Thank you for sending me that, by the way, on Twitter, or on X rather.
And Serge, you had pointed out maybe...
serge du preez
Uh, yeah, in the past I noticed that the Timcast IRL page itself on X had been, uh, removed or suspended.
So I don't know.
tim pool
I don't know if that's like... No, I think someone else had it a long time ago because we never cared.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
So I, I, I forget.
Well, all that really matters is, uh, uh, Timcast.
ian crossland
And I might be able to put you in touch with the guy who can get the IRL back.
That's what the message I got was.
He gave me a name for someone to contact.
tim pool
I mean, I suppose I can just ask Twitter.
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
Um, but it's at TimCast if it, you know, I don't want to say too much just right now, but follow at TimCast because, uh, that's the main channel where we post things.
All right, everybody.
If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member over at TimCast.com because YouTube is giving us the business.
We are moving to our new studio.
TimCast's next phase launches officially on Monday.
I am so excited for you guys to see how beautiful these cameras look.
It's crazy.
Everyone's going to look like a celebrity.
Their skin's going to look so smooth.
They're going to look slim.
unidentified
Dang it.
And of course, we should go on right before you get the Oh, I could use that camera tonight.
tim pool
When everyone sees what Ian really looks like, he's just like massively ripped.
ian crossland
I look really good.
tim pool
Six foot five, you know, 300 pounds of pure muscle.
Awesome.
Just wait, wait.
But, you know, at the same time, we're getting a business from YouTube.
So this show is made possible because we have members at TimCast.com.
So go to TimCast.com and sign up.
And I'll also shout this out because we normally, we never do stuff like this, but only in like the rarest of occasions.
SafeAndReadyMeals.com.
I'm hoping the URL is still up.
Um, let me, let me double check.
SafeAndReadyMeals.com.
And, uh... No, it's not loading for me.
Is it loading for you?
ian crossland
Let's find out.
tim pool
Well, if it doesn't... No.
Alright, well then, c'est la vie.
I guess you can't buy emergency food.
ian crossland
Oh yeah, it is.
It just takes a while to load.
tim pool
Okay, cool.
So this is, uh, emergency food.
I don't like doing standard promos for emergency food.
For one, it's ineffective.
But it's also a little, like...
I don't know.
But when Israel launches missiles in Iran, it's like, I just hope you guys have emergency food and water because you might need it.
So yeah, head over to TimCast.com, follow the show at TimCast and smash the like button.
Danielle, do you want to shout anything out?

Not really.
I'm going to be working down in Florida, so I'll be with Luke Rutkowski throughout the week.
I think I will actually not be at the grand opening of the studio, so you won't see how good I look until the following week.
But keep your eyes open and stay on.
And follow me at Ian Crossland in the meantime.
I'm going to be in Austin on April 27th.
It's coming up.
It's in nine days.

Mine's only up 20%.
tim pool
Oil's already up 4%.
unidentified
Wow!
tim pool
Your gas prices are going through the roof!
Yo, it doesn't matter what the reason is, if oil skyrockets, Trump won.
Like, incumbents cannot withstand high gas prices.
ian crossland
I thought you made a good, interesting point how Trump supports Israel, Biden does not, and the deep state is like, uh-oh.
tim pool
Yep.
ian crossland
We picked the wrong horse.
I think, okay.
Serge, talk me out, man.
serge du preez
Oh yeah, Danielle, thank you for coming.
Appreciate it.
See you guys later.
