tim pool
The opening ceremony at the Olympics is the gayest ever, and that's not me insulting it.
That's actually what people are saying about it, both left and right.
And it was satanic in that they quite literally had a mockery of the Last Supper, as well as a pale horse running on the river.
What's the river in Paris?
libby emmons
Yeah, the Seine.
tim pool
The Sin River?
There you go.
I think that's what it was, but there's a pale horse, and it's, you know, everybody's watching the ceremony, they're posting clips, and they're saying things like, wow, this is awfully anti-Christian and kind of satanic, and then you see the pale horse, and like, it literally is!
Wow!
Okay.
For those who don't know, that's the horse of death in one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
And so, naturally, people are very critical about this.
So we'll talk about the opening Olympics.
And then also, I guess they're reluctant to call it a terror attack in France.
They were warning of terror attacks.
And then there was a coordinated arson attack on French trains.
So it sounds like terror to me, but nobody wants to say it.
We'll talk about that.
And then, of course, Donald Trump, who is not to be pushed around, is going to be holding another rally in Butler, PA.
And the FBI is confirming, yeah, he got shot.
So, Chris Wray, kind of a dick move to say that he didn't, and they didn't know for sure.
And then, this one's big.
The Mr. Beast allegations now confirmed.
The initial victim who denied it at first has now come out and said, actually, Yeah, it's all true.
Someone posted Discord messages showing that they were running an adult content server for children, and this may include Mr. Beast himself.
We're not sure, but he was apparently in the server.
That's according to the post, so we don't know for sure again.
But this is Chris Tyson of Mr. Beast.
This is big news.

unidentified
How you doing, Tim?
Thanks for having me.
tim pool
Thanks for coming, man.
unidentified
Who are you?
tim pool
What do you do?
unidentified
Well, who am I?
I'm an international man of mystery, but... I like the jacket, by the way.
Thank you very much.
Well, I wear my Trump on my sleeves, as they say.
But look, I'm from Staten Island, New York, and many people think New York City is kind of all blue and progressive, which it is, but Staten Island is the last bastion of republicanism there.
I call it the red-headed stepchild of New York City.
But, you know, I'm a dad.
I'm a businessman.
I've been working on Wall Street for 30 years.
My Wall Street career got me into television by doing some commentary on CNBC.
Turns out I just wasn't quite liberal enough for CNBC, so did the transition Fox Business, then started getting more into political speak, did the Fox News.
Neil Cavuto happens to have a vowel at the end of his name, so he gave an Italian kid from Staten Island a shot.
And then Chris Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax, gave me the biggest shot of all.
He went to his Christmas party as a guest and, uh...
2016 and he said, Hey, you know, I know you're on that Fox business thing there and you know, you want to be the small fish in the big pond or you want to be big fish in a small pond.
Um, and we cut a deal literally in November of 16 at their Christmas party.
I'll quit Newsmax, I'll quit Fox right away and come over there if I can get my own show.
And, uh, in this, by December I had my own show on Newsmax and never looked back.
So, Right on.
That's why we're the fastest growing cable network on TV.
tim pool
There you go.
Thanks for hanging out.
It should be fun.
unidentified
Thanks for having me.
tim pool
We got Libby hanging out.
libby emmons
I'm hanging out.
I'm Libby Emmons with the Postmillennial and Human Events.
Glad to be here.
hannah claire brimelow
I'm Hannah-Claire Brimel.
I'm also hanging out.
I'm a writer with scnr.com at Scanner News.
I'm happy to be back tonight and I'm glad you guys are all joining us on this Friday.
Let's get started.
tim pool
Here's the big story from Breitbart.com.
The gayest Olympics ever.
Paris Olympics opens with suggested bisexual threesome.
Man, I really hate to open with that.
I mean, we're trying to be family friendly, and that one just kind of hits you in the face like a sack of bricks.
But that's what happened.
And it's what people on X are saying, and again, both the left and the right.
The left is saying, wow, this is awesome.
It's the gayest ever.
And the right's going, oh jeez, it's the gayest ever.
So you've got a lot of that stuff.
But the issue that's really hitting people is... Here's a question.
Is YouTube gonna be mad that we're showing this, like, half-naked guy?
Well, it was on TV.
This is a French actor portraying Dionysus, who's the god of... Well, they say the god of wine.
But let's just say he's... I don't know.
libby emmons
He's a pleasure god.
tim pool
Degeneracy?
You know, whatever.
So then, they have a mock Last Supper.
With a bunch of drag queens.
And, uh, oh boy, are people calling this out as satanic.
Clint Russell, Liberty Lockpot, says this is crazy.
Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the Disciples of the Last Supper with men in drag.
There are 2.4 billion Christians on Earth and apparently the Olympics want to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate, not welcome.
hannah claire brimelow
In that shot, you can see there's like a little kid in it too.
tim pool
There's a little kid in it?
hannah claire brimelow
At the table, like right there.
tim pool
Oh yeah, look, a child.
unidentified
I thought that was Kamala Harris' next press conference.
Didn't she introduce on RuPaul the other day?
libby emmons
That's tonight, she's like on with RuPaul on the drag show.
unidentified
She taped it the other day.
tim pool
So then Clint Russell says, I thought it couldn't get worse.
It does.
They put a pale horse, just in case you weren't sure, that this was all intentional, straight out of Revelations.
WTF is happening.
I kind of felt the same way.
I was like, well, you know, they're being disrespectful, it's blasphemous, whatever you want to call it.
But the pale horse on the river, now that's an endeavor.
He says, last post for the people claiming that the opening video is not depicting The Last Supper, they even added the mock halo just to make sure you knew what you were looking at, stop playing dumb.
Quite literally.
And also it looks like they inverted, they intentionally inverted the positions of some of the people at the table.
I think, so, like this pose right here, in The Last Supper it's actually the other way around, with the arm going the other direction.
Some of the positions are inverted.
And then they have, quite literally, a pale horse, which is, of course, the horse of death.
libby emmons
It's from Revelations.
tim pool
Yeah.
The four horsemen, let's see, there's the white horse, there's the red horse, there's the black horse, and then the pale or green horse, representing death.
And that's your Olympics for you.
So how are you guys doing?
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, the guy might have wanted to hit the gym a little bit there before doing that whole blue man group workout.
tim pool
But I actually think to be Dionysus, it's quite literally the point.
There's no effort.
He wouldn't want to hit the gym.
They're trying to represent laziness.
unidentified
Got it.
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
The Olympics opening ceremonies always push some kind of like multicultural, we're all the same, super progressive values, at least like in my living memory, that's what they've been like.
Disappointing to see, but it's almost not surprising because it seems like any time there's this sort of huge international stage, you have to have some sort of like pro-LGBT, pro-degeneracy.
libby emmons
But only in the West.
I mean, only in the West.
Only in the West do we look at our culture and say, let's just completely destroy it.
Let's take it and flay it.
tim pool
China didn't do this.
libby emmons
No, China had 2,008 people drumming in unison to represent their collective identity, and we have this.
I mean, you know... Well, it's Paris, to be fair.
It's Paris, but do we have any doubt that something like this would happen in L.A.
or London?
tim pool
Well, we're going to find out in four years.
libby emmons
I guess we will find out.
tim pool
Yeah, Olympics Los Angeles, right?
libby emmons
The one thing, too, though, is by the time we get to Los Angeles, maybe they'll just let men compete as women as well.
tim pool
They already do.
libby emmons
In the Olympics?
hannah claire brimelow
It depends on the sport and it depends on the hormone level.
libby emmons
It depends on the sport?
Yes.
Oh, because it's like the nanomules.
That's right.
tim pool
Oh, and it's going to be like the Soviet Union all over again.
I mean, come on, dude.
If people want to win the Olympics, they're going to win the Olympics.
unidentified
Absolutely.
You know, my girlfriend is a former boxer.
She was a Golden Gloves boxer and she's a champion, top of the field as a woman.
And she said even if she worked out in the gym with guys who were a little lighter than her,
if they really hit her full force, she could get hurt.
tim pool
So it's just- Bone density, muscle mass.
unidentified
Yeah, it's a physiology thing.
It's the whole thing.
It's just crazy that, you know, she feels like women fought so hard for the equality stuff
and to get a woman's Golden Gloves and now every mediocre guy can grow his hair long
and say his name is Hannah Clare.
tim pool
Look, I gotta be honest, I'm 38, and so in terms of my skateboarding career, I'm well past my prime, but I can tell you this.
If I competed in the Women's Olympics, I'd probably get the podium.
I'd be 42 at the time, so I'd have to really, really push it.
libby emmons
Well, you remember Laurel Hubbard just a couple of years ago.
Laurel Hubbard, the New Zealander weightlifter who pushed some young 20-something women out of the weightlifting category and went on to compete and, you know, screwed up.
tim pool
That was the Olympics?
libby emmons
Yeah.
Wow!
tim pool
My real point is this, if you're a country like North Korea, and you're thinking, we just want to win the Olympics, we don't care, we're gonna go to whatever the rules are, why wouldn't North Korea just be like, okay, let's send a guy?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And he'll win.
They probably have, but... Well, the Soviet Union notoriously had these women who showed up just massively ripped and pumped full of testosterone.
unidentified
What would you go as?
Tina?
If you went into the woman's- No, Tim.
You'd just go as Tim?
tim pool
Well yeah, there's a- Timoree is a female name.
Do you have to come up with like a- No, no, I would literally do nothing.
I'd keep the beard, I'd keep the clothes, I'd wear the exact same thing, and I'd say, I don't adhere to your gender- your heteronormative gender stereotypes.
I've decided that I am a woman.
I want the prize money.
What is it?
unidentified
Do it, Tim.
hannah claire brimelow
I think there will be people incentivizing people.
There's no reason a country that's like, we really want to make a name for ourselves wouldn't do this.
libby emmons
The first, second, and third place in a cycling championship in Washington state, the first, second, and third place were teams.
They were like pairs of teams and each one had a man on it.
First, second, and third, men winning in the women's cycling Grand Prix.
I thought that was absolutely absurd.
tim pool
What do you win?
Do you win money?
libby emmons
They win money.
tim pool
I mean, it wasn't that much money.
libby emmons
For the Olympics, you get gold and you get sponsorships, you get a lot of stuff that comes along with it.
tim pool
$37,500 for gold.
$37,500 for gold.
$32,500 for silver and $15,000 for bronze.
Yeah, I gotta tell you, I bet...
unidentified
Not worth it.
hannah claire brimelow
If you're from a country that doesn't have any resources and you're a guy and it's like,
well I could at least get silver in a women's division, if that money could change your life, why wouldn't you do that?
tim pool
No, for real.
I mean, if it's about winning money, who's gonna be like, I'm going to put my, like, look, this country said here are the rules.
If you're a woman, you decide to be a woman.
It's like, okay, well, you know, all right, I'll take 40 grand.
hannah claire brimelow
I think some of it is like, It's the cultural ties, right?
If the culture that you come from understands what you're doing and isn't appalled by you, then you go home with glory and money.
But if you're from a culture that's like, that's whack and we're going to mock you for the rest of your life, then maybe you're not going to do it.
That's the only deterrent.
tim pool
Russia would send some hotshot 20-year-old to say he's a woman.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, Russia's not even allowed to compete under its own flag right now.
tim pool
Well, there you go.
But I just mean like the mentality of a country like Russia is going to be like, rip them off and exploit them as much as you can.
Yeah, they deserve to be exploited if they want to be.
unidentified
I can see that.
But to Hannah Clare, what you were saying, I think humans overall, whether you say your community culture accepts it, I think humans overall, would just internally innately be like, that's effed up.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's not I don't think it's about culture.
It's about just Humanity, you know when you're doing something wrong.
Everyone knows when you're doing something wrong, in my view.
It's like, should you choose to look the other way, but...
hannah claire brimelow
I think people know when they're doing something wrong.
I do think there are some people who feel as though the ends justify the means, right?
Like they are justified to – they deserve whatever they are trying to achieve.
So therefore even if they feel that like heartstring pull, somewhere in their mind they know it's wrong.
There are a lot of people who do the wrong thing anyways because they feel like, well, I deserve this or I should have this or actually this benefits me in some other way.
I think that's why people get so kind of lost, right?
They don't want to accept sort of the moral boundaries we all know.
And so they're constantly at odds with themselves.
unidentified
Yeah, there's no question about that.
But I think in America, they look for that now.
You know, well, they're doing it so we can all do it.
And, you know, I always say like, you know, throughout the lockdowns, we in Staten Island were like fighting back.
I was opening up a local bar against the rules and we were getting arrested.
We were having protests and all this other stuff.
libby emmons
That was you guys?
unidentified
Yeah, that was us.
Max Public House.
That was me leading the resistance and the How French of you.
Kids who owned the bar were out of money.
And I met with them and I asked them, why are you doing this?
Why are you opening the place up?
Well, how can I help you?
You know, I'm with the news.
Can I bring some attention to it?
And they said, JT, maybe you don't understand this, but we literally don't have any more money.
We opened the place.
We hit up our credit cards.
We could have quit our jobs.
We've now hit up our parents a couple of times.
We don't have money.
And I remember a seminal moment talking to them, thinking like, They're saying they don't have money anywhere in their network, in their family, in their pocket.
And I'm just sitting there like, maybe there's days I don't have cash on me because my kids, my girlfriend hits me up all left and right, but I could always go to an ATM.
I could always go.
They were literally talking to me about existential.
We don't have any money.
That's why we're opening.
We got about three grand in inventory in this joint.
They've taken our liquor license.
We're going to sell it.
And I was thinking, I gotta help these kids.
Then the cops came in, arrested them that night.
My lawyer was there with me and I said, hey, listen, guess what?
This place is a TV studio now.
And tomorrow I'm going to start broadcasting Liquid Lunch, my TV show, from here with no liquor license, which I did.
And I broadcasted there for months and we fought them off, draping ourselves in the First Amendment.
And then Saturday Night Live at that time was It's called Liquid Lunch.
and they were allowed to have live audience.
So I was doing the same and I was employing the staff to give the drinks and food away for free.
And I said, they're all, they're all props.
These people are, these people are live audiences.
And my show is called Liquid Lunch.
So we serve drinks and people tipped healthily.
Right on.
But we fought the hell out of de Blasio and Cuomo.
libby emmons
I loved when you guys were doing that.
Thank you for doing that.
I remember that.
tim pool
Let's jump to the story as another component of the Olympic opening ceremony.
And this is something that Johnny pointed out to me before the show.
They depict the Statue of Liberty riddled with holes, decaying, and so Business Insider actually says the Statue of Liberty made an appearance.
During an animated segment of the show, the torchbearer flew in a hot air balloon past a number of recognizable figures, including the titular character from the famous French novella, The Little Prince, and the Statue of Liberty.
The French famously gifted Lady Liberty to the U.S.
in the 1800s, and a smaller version of the statue sits in Paris.
But when you actually look at the video, you can see the statue is actually destroyed.
I mean, this is nuts.
The symbolism here, I think, is fairly obvious.
They are destroying the West.
This is our history.
They have torn down our statues in the streets.
And now, at the Olympic ceremony, they are showing the Statue of Liberty damaged and destroyed.
unidentified
Apparently with a bullet hole in the face, that's the way I took it.
And you know, Staten Island sits directly in the middle between, in the middle of the harbor, the Lady Liberty sits in the middle of the harbor between Staten Island and Manhattan.
So Staten Island Ferry goes by hundreds of times a day.
There's not a molecule on it that isn't perfect right now.
So the only thing that could be saying is they want it to be shot up, tattered, beaten, you know what I mean?
That's how it looks.
hannah claire brimelow
Either they want it to be or they have no respect for America as is and that's the way they view us, right?
unidentified
One or the other.
hannah claire brimelow
Because this is pre-recorded.
They obviously made it a long time ago.
There was a point where they're like, well, we have this American icon that is specific to the relationship between France and America.
How do we view it?
Damage.
That's my interpretation.
unidentified
Yeah.
I think the subliminal there is either we've damaged Lady Liberty that they've given us, or they're soothsaying the future demise of Lady Liberty.
But either one is kind of...
To me, everyone knows Macron is in that World Economic Forum, and he wants to be Klaus Schwab's buddy-buddy, and him and Trudeau and all these guys, they look like the cookie-cutter part.
To me, this is Macron, you know, doing an ode to the WEF crowd.
Look, look how we're making fun of America.
tim pool
There's another portion of it that people are upset about.
I don't know that I care that much.
Marie Antoinette with her head chopped off singing, and then there's death metal playing, and I'm like, I mean, I don't know.
libby emmons
Well, they're celebrating the terror.
tim pool
Yeah.
but it's like a death metal performance i don't see this as attacking christianity blasphemy
It's just, like, horror.
libby emmons
Well, it's just celebrating the French terror.
tim pool
Yeah, but I say what I say.
libby emmons
People revolted and murdered everyone.
tim pool
I don't know if it's celebrating it.
I would say they're performing with an allusion to it.
Replacing The Last Supper with a bunch of drag queens and a child and inverting the positions and showing a pale horse and putting Dionysus on the table of The Last Supper, that's overtly, intentionally offensive, attacking Christians.
Having Marie Antoinette is like what?
Insulting the French?
Or not?
I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I don't see this as an attack on Christianity necessarily.
I do think it's kind of an interesting choice to depict your own history, kind of what Libby's saying.
But what I find interesting is it's like the face is kind of in drag makeup, and it's, you know, extreme hair, extreme colors, and it's sort of ugly.
And they're contrasting that with the architecture of France, which, you know, I typically find pretty beautiful.
libby emmons
Well, the old stuff, yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
Right, the old stuff.
And so there's this level of like, Are you saying we just can't have beautiful things on their own anymore?
What is the goal here?
To have this modern moment against history?
I don't get what they were going for with this one.
libby emmons
It seems a little avant-garde for something that is a world stage event where everyone comes to show off their athletic prowess and abilities.
hannah claire brimelow
Somebody let the theater kids play on this.
tim pool
I'm not going to feign outrage over a death metal performance with Marie Antoinette singing with her head cut off because it's like...
Death Metal is just meant to be that kind of hokey, the overt, like having a pale horse run on the water is kind of like, it's creepy, and insulting the Last Supper is just needlessly controversial and offensive to way too many people.
And I'm not a Christian, so I'm not going to pretend like that's the most offensive thing in the world to me, but I can identify that as, like, intentionally trying to antagonize people.
Yes, I don't care.
The Statue of Liberty, I think, is antagonistic to Americans.
unidentified
That's what I think.
I mean, I just saw, literal, a friend sent me a video of his television screen and said, can you believe this is happening?
And I was like, what the hell is that?
libby emmons
I'd love to see the entire thing.
I'd love to watch the whole opening.
tim pool
I didn't see it.
libby emmons
You have to pay NBC.
unidentified
Sign up for Peacock.
Yeah, something like that.
I think Peacock's dead.
I think it's like falling off like CNN.
hannah claire brimelow
A lot of people are struggling.
I mean, I would always love to have, you know, and maybe if you had listened live, you would have got a commentary on whoever was, you know, in charge of planning this being like, oh, well, we We thought this was a good idea for this reason.
But, you know, so much of it seems to be trying to be provocative, and it works in two folds, right?
With The Last Supper and the allusions to Christianity, like, we know you wouldn't do it for other religions, so it's both cheap and also, you know, obviously anti-Christian.
With some of this stuff, I feel like it's trying to be shocking in a way that is just sort of grotesque.
Like, it's not thought-provoking, it's just sort of ugly.
I think that's kind of a waste of this big moment, right?
I think we should have cultures that celebrate beauty and celebrate interesting things.
I don't mind the death metal, I just think that this is sort of... I don't get it and I don't know what they were trying to achieve other than sort of ugliness.
tim pool
Well, I just think the West is culturally dying or dead.
I mean, it's France, so I kind of shrug.
You know, France can do what France wants.
But there's like, you know, international relations, or I should say there's an international Western culture.
And this is desperation and it's stagnation.
unidentified
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
And it should have been cool, right?
Because this is the first time they've ever had this ceremony outdoors.
It's normally in some sort of big stadium or coliseum or whatever.
The fact that it's, like, this huge event that they have done actually through the middle of Paris on- like, it's not even they're marching down the street.
They are on water.
That is actually- that should be really impressive, right?
And instead it's, like, tainted by all these weird artistic, political, ideological choices.
It makes you- It's just super gay.
libby emmons
I mean, it's just- For no reason.
Like, super gay like everything else.
Like, all the new Star Wars is super gay, Disney is super gay, all our TV shows are
super gay.
That's like the only thing that you're allowed to be into anymore.
unidentified
Superman's super gay.
Superman, super gay.
libby emmons
Yeah, he gave up.
unidentified
I actually adopted Superman's old slogan for my show Wise Guys.
We end every show by saying that we stand for truth, justice, and the American way.
Because Superman doesn't even say that anymore.
He says truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.
So Superman's gay too now.
hannah claire brimelow
How less specific of him?
tim pool
Superboy.
Yeah, I think that comic crashed.
Because nobody wants to read it.
You know, the Hero's Journey is the... You're familiar with the Hero's Journey?
The very typical story arc.
And it's something like thrust into adventure, aided by magic, whatever.
There's like three key points, but it breaks down.
And so you look at all of the major superhero movies.
You had Star Wars.
They followed the Hero's Journey.
And now they don't.
And it's no surprise that they're all starting to lose money.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
Yup.
Because who's driving the viewership of these movies?
It's young men and they long for adventure.
So you take Superboy and you're like, uh, he's, his politics are weird and he's gay.
And there's going to be a young, a young kid who's like, well, I want to go to the moon and fight aliens.
I don't want to read a, I don't relate to a comic about having a boyfriend and lamenting like your breakup, but that's what they're making.
You look at Spider-Man, for instance, and the male power fantasy there is in the Spider-Man 2000 movie, it's Green Goblin has the busload of children and Mary Jane, and he's like, who will you save, Spider-Man, Mary Jane, or suffer the children, or something like that?
And then Spider-Man's like, I'm gonna save them both!
And young men are like, yeah, I'm gonna save everybody!
Now it's like, ha ha, Spider-Man, your boyfriend's mad at you.
Did you buy him a present?
And he's like, oh no, I forgot our anniversary.
And it's like, do women want to watch that?
Because guys don't.
Nobody wants to watch that.

We need more He-Man messes in the universe.
We need Hulk Hogan.
We need Randy Macho Man Savage.
Jimmy Superfly Snooker.
They had the hero's journey, right?
They had a little bit of magic and a little bit of theatrics.
Macho alpha young men looked up to these guys.
They wanted to jump off the top rope and take down the bad guys and...
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I think that, like, toughness, too, really speaks to a lot of, like, Americana culture that people are seeking and wanting, like a bravery, a toughness, a perseverance.
I loved Hulk Hogan's speech at the RNC.
libby emmons
It was really fun.
hannah claire brimelow
I thought it was so fun.
I wish I had been in the- I mean, I was obviously happy to be on IRL that night, but, like, it's the kind of thing you wish you could have experienced live because, you know, it's not- Well, I did.
Well, I'm sure it was great.
Libby was sitting next to me editing for Post Millennial, and I saw her, you know, have a picture of him tearing his shirt, and I was like, Libby, you have to send that to me.
The best photo of all time.
unidentified
Without a doubt.
hannah claire brimelow
And you would see these posts afterwards and be like, can you imagine being European and looking at this like this is American politics?
It's both fun and lighthearted but also serious and also this weird display of masculinity.
Not even weird, just over the top.
libby emmons
It was just a display of masculinity.
And the reason it looked weird is because we see so little masculinity.
hannah claire brimelow
I feel like it's slightly weird and I don't actually mean it's weird because I never got into like Wrestlemania and stuff.
libby emmons
Like Hulk Hogan was a big figure when I was a kid.
He was everywhere.
Him and Rowdy Roddy Piper and all the rest of them.
tim pool
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
It was cool.
libby emmons
I mean like there is something cool about just being- We had like Hulk Hogan action figures.
unidentified
I was there.
I was you know a fan.
I'm not like the biggest like Wrestlemania fan but you know growing up you always looked up to these like wrestlers.
Are they real?
Are they not real?
But I was out in Milwaukee for a week.
And just this week we had Alina Haba on my show, Wise Guys, and we break down, each of us gave our thoughts on the best moment, and I think from Cara Castronova, my co-host, Alina Haba, to Lou Gelomino, we all agreed that that was like The moment.
Like, that's why Trump's such a great showman, you know what I mean?
When Hulk Hogan personalized himself, he said, hey, you know, everybody knows me as the Hulk and all this other stuff, but my name's Terry Bollea, you know, and I couldn't get involved in politics because Hulkamaniacs like Biden and Hulkamaniacs, it was a business thing.
He said, but you know what?
I had to get off the couch now because they tried to kill my friend.
And I think I was in the room.
I was there.
It was like a moment, you know what I mean?
And then when he started ripping that shirt open, I mean, that was the bring down the house moment of the whole entire, other than, you know, Trump coming out, the, the fireman, uh, Corey Comptori's jacket was there.
I thought that was like a really sensitive moment.
Um, but the Hulkster ripping the shirt, boom.
tim pool
As an aside, too, just while you're talking about Trump and all that stuff, someone in the chat said, more zebra print clothing, but he's not wearing a zebra print jacket.
unidentified
Can I go to back, Tim?
tim pool
Yeah, whatever.
unidentified
Or stand up, will you see me?
tim pool
It's a bunch of Donald Trump.
They thought it was a zebra.
hannah claire brimelow
This is not your only one of these jackets, it's my favorite.
unidentified
No, I have a growing collection.
hannah claire brimelow
I think that hype that Hulk brought to the convention, there are a lot of cool moments at the convention, but with that one in particular, I think a lot of people feel like that, like they want to have their moment where they can just be like, I'm in.
This is moving forward.
And there was something really hopeful about it.
There was something really powerful.
I think it was great.
And to now be in this new cycle where it's constant attacks on everybody and Kamala is so much better and she's constantly wagging her finger and using identity politics, it feels very much the opposite of the hype and excitement and the positivity that I felt like a lot of the RNC speakers had.
tim pool
So let's jump to this next story from the AP.
Well, Paris is very busy with their largely gay, and I mean it in a literal sense, like, you know, men who like men.
I'm not trying to be derogatory here.
Opening ceremony with Dionysus and the mockery of Christianity and depicting one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, the pale horse of death.
While they're busy with all of that, arsonists have attacked the French high-speed rail system hours before the opening ceremonies, and it's a coordinated attack.
They're not saying the word terror, but they've been warning about terror threats at the Paris Games, and then when you have a coordinated arson attack on the trains, I don't know why they're not calling it terror, but fine, they can call it whatever they want.
I'm just going to point out, maybe if your country wasn't so just hell-bent on ripping its culture to shreds, you might have some strong men who could help secure your nation and prevent, I don't know, coordinated arson attacks on your train system.
hannah claire brimelow
And I like that the French intelligence services are taking a page out of the Secret Services book and just being like, we don't know what's going on.
We won't say anything at all.
It's been hours and they're like, no arrests made.
libby emmons
Who knows?
hannah claire brimelow
Crazy mystery.
libby emmons
Yeah, we were covering this today at Human Events and we were looking at it and I was talking to my editor there and I was like, so who did the attack?
No idea.
Are there any leads?
No.
Is there an investigation?
Doesn't seem to be.
hannah claire brimelow
No social media use.
libby emmons
What's going on?
hannah claire brimelow
This person barely existed.
libby emmons
Is anything happening at all?
Yeah.
A train's caught on fire.
hannah claire brimelow
I can understand.
libby emmons
It was lightning.
unidentified
Right.
hannah claire brimelow
And like, they have tons of tourists.
I mean, I think they said they suspended travel there for like 10,000 people.
But you're right.
Like, they have a huge problem.
unidentified
I'm saying France has got an open border.
They've got immigrants everywhere.
How many domestic, how many international terrorists have crossed our southern border that we know about?
Hundreds, you know, maybe thousands.
But there's probably more in France.
It's easier for them to get to.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, there have been attacks in churches in France.
France has had instability for a little while now.
And on top of that, I tend to think you're right that it has to do with the migrant crisis in France.
But I think it's also worth noting that there's a lot of environmental protests that are getting more aggressive in France, right?
Like, not just in France, in Europe.
There are all kinds of combative factions that would probably benefit from making a big display of disrupting the opening games in Olympics, or the opening ceremonies for the Olympics.
I just don't understand how long they think they can keep this under wraps.
I feel like they're just waiting to decide which narrative is going to do less damage.
libby emmons
Oh, we'll see.
tim pool
I think, back to my point, I don't know how Europe pushes through this, what's going to happen?
Marine Le Pen, of course, was, I don't want to say defeated, because I believe they're now the, what is it, the National Front or whatever?
libby emmons
The National Rally.
tim pool
National Rally, the single largest party.
But with the leftist coalition, they're still 40% or whatever.
libby emmons
And the left formed that coalition specifically to bump National Rally out of the top place.
tim pool
But it doesn't matter.
I mean, if there's more Anti-nation people, then your country's, that's it.
You are in the flood.
And there's no turning back.
The current has become too strong.
How does a country like France turn this around?
For the United States, I'm actually fairly optimistic with Donald Trump and the things that are happening.
Trump's ahead.
He's winning.
We don't know what's going to happen, but in France, they're not.
They're behind.
libby emmons
Yeah, they're well behind.
I certainly hope that the people who hate America are not the ones who end up continuing to lead it.
I'm so tired of hearing about how America sucks.
It's like, how is this going to spur us to do better, just telling us we're garbage all of the time?
hannah claire brimelow
All the time.
libby emmons
Just all the time.
hannah claire brimelow
And that we're all enemies, right?
That we all secretly have all kinds of, you know, bias or whatever against each other.
It's such a divisive approach, and I think it's ultimately disheartening.
libby emmons
Yeah, it is disheartening.
unidentified
It stinks that, uh, you know, the simple phrase that, you know, Barack Obama has used, Bill Clinton has used, Ronald Reagan has used, make America great again, poses this massive problem to people, right?
Number one, they don't want to admit that it was ever great, right?
It's based on all these horrible things.
So that's one, you know, and then, well, Why wouldn't you want, if it was, why wouldn't you want it to be great again?
And you just sit there and, you know, you see Supreme Court justices not being able to define what a woman is.
tim pool
I'm hoping young people, you know, we had Brylon Hollyhand on the other day.
And he's a smart kid.
He knows exactly what he's talking about.
And he's 18.
He's still in high school.
And we got his book right here.
And I'm just like, you know, he says Gen Z is leaning in a certain direction.
They're kind of upset about things.
I hope that's not just his circle.
I hope we're actually going to see young people who are like, yo, hey man, I'd like to own a house.
Because if that pressure exists, there's going to be a revolt against the woke-ification and the far left.
Because they're going to make you live in the pod and eat the bugs.
unidentified
Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
I've been following this story that they're trying to move us to Cricket Burgers.
I don't know if you heard about this, Tim.
tim pool
Of course!
They got those cheese puffs, and if you don't check, there's cricket in it.
And they use a special word for cricket.
I forgot what the word was, but it's like a weird word you wouldn't recognize.
And then you look it up, you're like, oh, that means cricket.
And they're going to start putting it in food.
unidentified
No, they are putting in food, and they're trying to... Actually, you know, the whole... I don't know if we could say this on The Family Show, but, you know, the whole cow farting thing causes so much methane that the, uh, you know, the ozone layer is being damaged by cows.
tim pool
They're calling it a cheta.
Cheta.
A cheta.
So you'll find, uh, you may find products somewhere and it'll say, like in the ingredients, it'll say, you know, like salt enzymes, a cheta protein, blah, blah, blah.
And you don't realize they change the words on purpose because if they put cricket, you might be like, I don't want to eat the bugs.
So they're rebranding it so they can start mashing up bugs and putting it in your food.
libby emmons
They do that with everything.
They do that with all of the words.
Like there's this new thing that's happening now where if you say that Kamala Harris was a DEI hire, which everyone knows she was because Joe Biden promised to have a black woman for his vice president, and that was the only shortlist they put together.
tim pool
I think it was just woman.
Was it black woman?
libby emmons
I'm pretty sure it was a black woman.
tim pool
I thought it was just woman.
unidentified
Minority woman, I think.
hannah claire brimelow
Minority, so he was open for more options?
tim pool
I thought he said he was going to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court.
libby emmons
He did say that, for sure.
tim pool
And he said he was going to get a woman for a VP.
I'll check.
libby emmons
Well, we could check it out.
I'm happy to be wrong if I'm wrong.
But now if you say anything about DEI, you have people coming out, you know, pundits on CNN coming out saying that it's like calling her the N-word.
unidentified
It's racist to say Oh, okay.
libby emmons
That someone was a DEI hire.
tim pool
It was, it was, Biden said he's considering four black women to be his running mate.
libby emmons
Even like Karen Bass was on the list, I think.
Yeah.
tim pool
So it really was racial and sexual.
libby emmons
So it was a racial decision as to who he was going to bring on as his running mate.
And now if you point that out, you're racist for saying it.
So it doesn't, like, that doesn't make any sense, you know.
They're like, they just are changing reality and demanding that everyone go along with it, and it's just infuriating because it is this consistent changing of definitions, like how woman can now mean, you know, the penised man.
tim pool
Well, Jack Posobiec nailed it with his question.
He says, if it's good to be, if DEI is good, why do they get offended when you say this person was a DEI hire?
libby emmons
Perfect way to say it.
tim pool
And they're like, how dare you?
It's like, what's offensive about it?
hannah claire brimelow
Because the Biden campaign was like looking for an accolade when they were like, look at our list of diverse women candidates.
They thought that this was going to get them a gold star.
Apparently it's a bad move.
tim pool
Going back to the crickets thing, do you guys remember the cicadas?
Of course.
And there was a restaurant, I think it was in the DC area.
libby emmons
They were serving them.
tim pool
That was plucking them off the wall and the ground and frying them.
And they were running commercials like cicada burgers and cicada tacos.
And these hippy-dippy liberals were like, I'll try one.
I'm cool.
And they're eating it.
And the health department came in and said, you cannot pick bugs off the ground and then serve them to people in your restaurant.
libby emmons
It's against the health code.
tim pool
Right.
And they were like, OK.
And they had to stop.
Yo, but people were buying.
This is just, OK, my friends.
libby emmons
How did they know they were cicadas and not just giant cockroaches?
tim pool
Look, this is what we're up against.
Swaths of people that wanted to be with it so badly that they were going to a restaurant, or probably restaurants, that were literally serving them bugs from their backyard.
And they were like, I'm cool.
Look at me.
I'm eating bugs from the floor.
libby emmons
Meanwhile, if you were not vaccinated just a few years ago and tried to go out to eat, they called you a grandma killer and complained that you were racist because you wouldn't get a COVID vaccine.
tim pool
I wonder what would happen if we started advocating for living in pods and eating bugs.
libby emmons
We just were like, let's do this.
Would they be like, no, we're not doing that.
We don't want to do that.
tim pool
No, no, no, no.
If this show, Timcast IRL, turned into the Living in the Pot and Eating the Bugs show, we'd have 20 million subscribers in a month.
We'd be on the front page of YouTube.
They'd be like, Mr. Poole, we'd like you to collaborate with Mr. Beast.
And I'd be like, I don't know about that guy after all that stuff.
They'd be like, we're going to make your channel the biggest show in the world as long as you keep saying Live in the Pot and Eat the Bugs.
Because this is true, actually.
I'm kidding.
But it's only half kidding.
Because there was this woman Started a new channel and she made two videos and she got like three million subscribers overnight because she was living in a van.
libby emmons
Oh yeah, there's a big push for that of people being like, I'm tricking out my van so I can live in it.
tim pool
Van life has been huge for years.
Even I have one.
libby emmons
Do you have a van life van?
tim pool
I have a, it's got solar power.
It's got enough solar capacity that you could run all of the basic studio electronics indefinitely.
So the amount that it charges throughout the day is greater than it than it consumes per day.
So you can play video games or on the computer.
It's a mobile production studio with a bed and a shower in it.
So, you know, I own a house and a camper.
I think that's fine.
libby emmons
Sure.
tim pool
You know, but what they want is they want millennials don't have kids the environment.
And you should move into a van with your significant other or go solo traveling and live in a van.
Look how great it is.
And then YouTube props up all of these videos telling people how great life is.
They're like, when you live in the van, you have no bills.
And I was like, and when you sleep under a bridge, you have no bills too.
Personally, I'd like to have a house and I don't mind the bills.
I like running water.
unidentified
The whole idea of American excellence is going down the drain by the powers that be.
But I still go back to say our Supreme Court justice could not define what a woman is.
But now they are saying, and they can't say it in any of the house literature and in local law books, they're man, fireman, all this other stuff.
But now they are going around shouting from the rooftops, Kamala is going to be the first woman president.
Why do they have to identify her as a woman?
I thought we couldn't do that anymore.
hannah claire brimelow
Because they're obsessed with identity, right?
I mean, I still have heard very few articulated policies from Kamala.
I know she's kind of slow rolling them out.
But what I hear more than anything else in the media is, you know, Potentially first female black president.
Did you know she was female?
Did you know that she's, you know, from these cultures?
Do you know she was a woman?
Did you know she was a woman when she was an AG in California?
Did you know she was a woman when she was VP?
I mean, I hear this constantly.
And I think that's sort of pathetic, right?
Like, I didn't like it when people were doing it with speculating about Trump's VP picks when they were like, no, he has to pick a woman.
Otherwise, like, no, he doesn't have to pick a woman.
I probably prefer if he didn't.
But also, like, just pick someone who is good and who has strong policies.
libby emmons
Yeah, pick the best person for the job.
Right.
Check out the resume.
Remember, like the whole kick the tires thing?
Hillary Clinton was big on that.
Kamala Harris has had no tires kicked at any point.
She couldn't make it in the primaries in 2020.
She slept her way into her job in the first place.
And nobody has voted for her.
Not a single American has voted for her.
unidentified
I think some folks around California have kicked the tires on Kamala Harris, maybe in a different way than you're suggesting, but I would just say... Maybe a certain mayor did.
Yeah, maybe.
That's for sure.
But I would just say, cautionary to my friends out there who hope for Donald Trump to win, There are so many other things to attack Kamala Harris on.
Going back to her sexual exploits from 20 or 30 years ago, I think is a big mistake.
I think it's going to tick off women, because women don't like when people just stereotype that, oh, they must have got there by being hot or by being pretty.
tim pool
Yeah, but it's not stereotyping.
unidentified
Well, I think it hurts with, I think it hurts with, you know, undecided women, me personally.
And by the way, we hate That they go back to 20 years ago with Stormy Daniels and this model that he was with and he was at a party with a chick.
You know, we hate when they talk about his exploits.
libby emmons
I don't think we hate when they talk about his exploits.
I think we hate when they bring him up on federal charges for it.
That's the issue.
It's, you know, when it's like the subject of a civil case with $450 million on the line or when it's the other stuff.
And I don't think, I would quibble with you just to say, I don't think there are any undecided women.
unidentified
Oh.
libby emmons
I think there are very few undecided voters in this country at all.
tim pool
I don't know that I care about Kamala's exploits.
I'm more concerned about Project Special K. Have you heard of this?
libby emmons
What's this?
tim pool
It's the secret special operation that Kamala's, you know, gonna have.
Now, she literally has nothing to do with anyone who's ever made anything up about it, but I'm saying that because I'm in the media and that's what we do, and I hear that she's gonna ban Zin.
hannah claire brimelow
I heard that she's going to close all Chick-fil-A's across the U.S.
tim pool
All of them, no Chick-fil-A.
hannah claire brimelow
And Marshall's and Home Goods.
unidentified
Any effort to ban... And Stanley Cups.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, gone.
hannah claire brimelow
They're gone.
tim pool
Yeah, she's banning those.
unidentified
You like them?
Gone.
libby emmons
I thought she was going to require abortion.
unidentified
Any effort to ban tobacco products is detrimental for me, you know what I mean?
We can't have banning tobacco.
tim pool
For the environment.
unidentified
For me!
tim pool
You know that one thing that Gen Z really likes?
Yeah, gone.
Banned.
Yeah, that's Kamala's special—Project Special K, they call it, you know?
And she's gonna ban, you know, saying the word cap and riz.
hannah claire brimelow
Oh yeah, she hates the word riz.
She's also gonna ban all pop music, and also she's gonna make school year-round.
libby emmons
And also, Beyonce is gonna do the national anthem, and that's the only version that's going to be allowed, is the Beyonce version.
tim pool
This is—it's funny because we're all laughing as we say these things, but that's what Project 2025 is.
They're literally just going like, I heard Trump is gonna— Put liberals in camps?
That's Project 2025.
That's what I heard.
libby emmons
He's going to put us in camps, just like he did four years ago.
Remember when we were all in camps?
tim pool
Donald Trump is going to put everybody in camps, campgrounds, if they choose to go, with the extra money they have from the great economy.
libby emmons
In their new campers and RVs.
unidentified
Marcus Limonis will be happy about this segment.
He owns Camping World, you know?
tim pool
Oh, there you go.
unidentified
He's selling those Winnebago's like mad.
tim pool
But I love those commercials where it's like, the American dream, owning a camper.
unidentified
And I was like, I didn't know that, but I'm a camper too, you know?
tim pool
Although everyone's glamping now.
It's like, you go to a campsite surrounded by a bunch of other people in trailers, and then you turn on your widescreen TV and air conditioning and you're like, camping's fun.
It's like, that's not camping.
hannah claire brimelow
I saw this girl post, like, I was forced to go camping the first 18 years of my life.
I hate it every way.
I turned 30 and had a small child and was like, well, maybe I should go camping again.
It's something inherent.
I think it's kind of fascinating.
I think the hysteria around, like, the general media hysteria this week, right, because it's both Project 2025 is going to take away, I don't know, oxygen from Earth or something.
Kamala Harris is the best thing that's ever walked the face of the planet, even though it's very questionable.
Ask any incarcerated person in California.
And also, you know, the attacks on JD Vance.
Like, they are trying to make something happen, which is very funny, considering Biden was just saying we all needed to call for unity.
But it turns out he just wants conservatives to stop talking, and they don't want to talk about anything but how bad people who don't agree with them are.
unidentified
Does Biden even know what's happening at this point?
I mean, I'm open for debate.
I don't think so.
libby emmons
I think we're just sort of waiting.
I think Biden's job right now is to blend far enough into the background that it looks like Kamala Harris is already the president.
tim pool
Yep.
She's giving speeches in places vice presidents shouldn't give speeches.
libby emmons
Yep, she sure is.
And she is just dropping herself into every scheduled aspect of the former Biden campaign.
That's why they're all pissy that Trump is like, no, I'm not going to do your stupid ABC debate on September 10th that I agreed to with somebody else.
You're not that other person.
Why do you get any kind of, you know, consolation prize of like, just, you know, whatever it is getting me to come be on the schedule that was set with somebody else.
That doesn't make any sense.
unidentified
Well, she had a big test yesterday, right?
If she wanted to assume the role of the President, she should be meeting with the Prime Minister of Israel, but she blew him off.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, she didn't attend the hearing, but they said she met with him privately after Biden met with him.
Like, they met separately with this guy who then went to Florida and met with Trump today.
unidentified
I think it's like... It was a political move, but... Yeah, no, totally.
hannah claire brimelow
And, you know, she's going to posture on that issue in every single direction.
I think the next couple of weeks, again, she's going to both try and cling to the Biden administration and kind of victory, which none for me, but I guess for Democrats,
maybe I think he did some things right. And then she's also going to say, but I'm better and
he did bad things and I'm going to be better than that. It's going to be very weird. And
you're going to see the liberal media back her up around every corner. It's going to not
make sense. They're going to be like, sounds good, Kamala, whatever you say.
tim pool
Let's jump to this story from the post millennial.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
Breaking!
FBI confirms Trump was hit with a bullet during assassination attempt after Chris Wray told Congress it could have been shrapnel.
Christopher Wray had suggested that Trump could have been hit by shrapnel.
And this is written by Thomas Stevenson.
So I'm going to complain about Thomas to Libby right now.
Libby?
libby emmons
Yeah?
tim pool
He was hit with a bullet?
libby emmons
What?
Shot with a bullet?
tim pool
Shot!
Trump was shot in the head!
hannah claire brimelow
You've been policing speech this week.
tim pool
I'm policing speech.
libby emmons
Wow, okay.
unidentified
Well, I'm half kidding, but I do think it's... I'm pretty sure that's not Tommy's headline, by the way.
tim pool
Well, the reason why Ray said there's some question as to whether he was actually hit by a bullet or by a shrapnel, it's because it's propaganda from Democrats and from people who hate Trump to diminish the fact that he literally got shot in the ear and nearly died.
And so I'm saying counter with maximum efficiency.
FBI confirms Trump was shot during assassination attempt after Chris Wray said it could have been shrapnel.
libby emmons
And he said it could have been glass, he said all kinds of things, and then everybody ran with it like crazy because they really wanted it to be not true that Trump was almost assassinated.

And then the FBI came out, Bret Baier, with a statement.
What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject's rifle.
Fragmented?
Why would it even be fragmented?
But sure, Trump was shot.
libby emmons
He was shot, yes.
Right in his face.
hannah claire brimelow
I think all of our intelligence agencies are acting like such a joke right now, right?
We know it was a bullet.
We know that someone fired a gun at President Trump.
He was shot in the ear, sustained a serious injury, was taken to a hospital.
This is an established area to go before Congress and be like, we don't know!
Either you're terrible at your job or you're just lying.
tim pool
Let's try this.
We have a couple different versions of reality we can choose from.
One is, the Secret Service could not stop or identify an assassin, but regular people in the field, screaming, he's got a gun, he's on the roof, could.
So the Secret Service is less competent than random people standing about.
And the head of the FBI, Ray, doesn't even know what Trump was hit by.
So you can choose that reality of, wow, The government is less competent than random middle-aged individuals standing in the field.
Or you can choose the, they're intentionally lying and elements within our own government tried to kill Donald Trump.
libby emmons
What do you think?
tim pool
Actually, you think so?
I was going to ask you, what do you think?
Do you think that there was some official capacity to the attempt on Trump's life?
unidentified
I certainly do, and I would just say this.
I covered a lot of Trump rallies.
tim pool
I know you're all with the cool kids, so you always get the VIP to the double VIP access and stuff, but... When I was going to the rallies, I was going to the press entrance, and that was about it.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm saying, so I get the press, you know, from Newsmax, and I have a NYPD media pass, too, so I get in, and I got some Staten Island ingenuity, so I usually can work my way through, you know, to an even more cool place.
Most of the ones I've been at, pretty much every one, I can't make a move past where the press area is.
And if you even try to sniffer over to where some, where the good people are, you don't have the right color on you, you're out.
So I don't, I, it's unfathomable to me what I've seen at rallies that a kid could walk in, in, you know, weird clothes, carrying a long rifle, somehow get on a roof.
It just doesn't, doesn't add up.
tim pool
I got, I was going to, I was in Fort Lauderdale at a Trump rally 10 years ago, and I got the dog, what did they say, signaled or whatever?
The dog started freaking out, they pulled me to the side, they took all my stuff, they had the dog sniff it all one by one, alerted, they were alerted by the dog, and I told them I do conflict and crisis reporting, so I was like, there's probably tear gas, whatever, and they're like, okay, you're good.
How does this kid have a rangefinder?
How is he?
How is he?
How is he handling the drone or the other or the gun and the ammunition without the dog?
Dogs?
Were there no dogs?
I mean, they say the Secret Service skipped the briefing.
They allowed the guy to fly a drone.
And now FBI Ray is like, I don't even know what Trump was hit by.
And it's just like, are you doing your job?
libby emmons
You also had Cheadle say that rangefinders were not among the possessions that were disallowed.
unidentified
Yeah, they let them bring them in.
tim pool
They're like, well, you have the Second Amendment, and rangefinders aren't illegal, so when we saw a guy walking around with a rifle and a rangefinder, we were like, hmm, seems okay to us.
libby emmons
He was driving around on a bike with a rifle bag, right?
tim pool
Is that what it was?
libby emmons
That's what Jack was saying.
unidentified
You know, when you ask that question, you know, you could have been... What about aerial coverage?
They said there was no aerial coverage.
Now, a good friend of mine, his dad worked for the Port Authority of New York for 40 years, handled every VIP, every president, every pope.
And he said, Johnny, it's just not plausible that they don't have aerial coverage.
They had NYPD, New York State Police, New Jersey State Police, Port Authority Police, all had helicopters in the air.
Any time a president came to New York, they had frogmen in boats, East River, Hudson River, in the bay.
He said these days with drones, they should have had at least three helicopters, state police, local police, FBI and drones.
How could there be no aerial?
tim pool
They were letting the kid fly the drone.
unidentified
That's what I mean.
How could we not have one?
But the shooter did.
tim pool
The fact as soon as Ray was like, I don't know what Trump was hit by.
I was like, oh, he's in on it.
Like, come on.
Are you kidding me?
That's an absurd statement to make.
You're the head of the FBI.
The first thing you do is you collect the evidence and you're like, we know what this was.
If he said Trump was hit by shrapnel, I'd be like, well, that's a bold claim to make, but at least he's got a definitive statement to make.
He was like, I don't even know.
hannah claire brimelow
What do you think it says then that his press secretary came out and was like, yes, it was a bullet?
I mean, like, it is interesting to me.
tim pool
What says to me is Trump should never have hired the guy.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, but there also seems to be some, like, to me, that would indicate there's some kind of weird tension, right?
That the press secretary would be like, yes, can confirm was was shot, even though the head of this organization is like, we don't know.
I assume he would have been like, no, you guys can't put out a statement.
I mean, that's kind of what the Secret Service seemed to do.
libby emmons
Well, the Secret Service also had been offered drones by local law enforcement, and they turned it down.
unidentified
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
And by the way, Christopher Wray was a Chris Christie hire, just so you know.
tim pool
Oh, he was a Christie hire?
unidentified
Chris Christie recommended Chris Wray to Trump when he was, you know, before he went Fredo on us, Chris Christie.
But Chris Wray came as a recommendation from But Trump hired the guy.
Yeah, I'm just saying.
But yeah, he did come to him.
True.
tim pool
Well, I mean, you know, yeah, Trump shouldn't listen to Christie.
Trump listened to a lot of bad people.
I'm hoping this time around when he wins, you know, hoping he's going to win that he learns he learned his lesson.
unidentified
Agreed.
There were a lot of deep state people that he let into his White House.
tim pool
And I think he thought he was playing fair.
I think Trump thought early on, he was like, look, look, I'll get you guys some of this stuff.
I'll get you what you need and I'll do what I want to do too.
And then they turned around and they were like, we can't let him do this.
We're in charge.
And so they betrayed him.
Trump thought he was going to play fair with these guys.
You can't play fair with them.
This is the thing, right?
They say that if you're ever approached by intelligence for any kind of job, you're in deep, deep trouble.
Because no matter what you do at this point, you're on their radar.
It's just like the mafia.
You get in deep, or any gang, you get in deep and then there's going to be repercussions one way or the other.
They're going to go to you and they're going to say, we got a job for you.
And that job is you go down.
Anyway, so Donald Trump thinks he's going to bring in some of these, I don't know, deep state spies.
He let these guys stay.
Comey, McCabe, you know, brought in Bolton, brought in this guy.
You know, there were monumental mistakes.
seconds for their own personal benefit.
unidentified
He let these guys stay.
Comey, McCabe, you know, brought in Bolton, brought in this guy.
You know, there were monumental mistakes.
And like you said, he was too nice the last time he got elected.
You know, everybody was chanting, lock her up.
They wanted Hillary to get arrested.
He didn't go in like a crazy victor and start throwing people in jail and, you know, just wholesale cutting people out of jobs.
He tried to keep the continuity of government and it wound up really, you know, backfiring on him, if you ask me.
hannah claire brimelow
Would you be concerned that would happen again?
Should he be elected?
I don't like to jinx it, that's why I don't talk in definitive, but if he's elected again, there would be the same kind of missteps?
unidentified
I think there are people that he's allowed on stage last week at the convention that I'm not certain are completely loyal to Donald Trump.
Yeah, you know, Mike Pompeo, you know, he wasn't always exactly perfect Trump guy.
And, you know, here he is, you know, 50 pounds lighter and he's got a new lease on life in Trump world.
tim pool
But I well, I think he gave up on Trump a few times, if you think I think someone on this show said it, that there's a rumor that Pompeo was going around saying he was going to be the vice president.
hannah claire brimelow
That appears to be not true.
tim pool
Not true?
Well, this is before someone tried to kill the president.
I think, uh, I think the Deep State Plan, and I don't know entirely what that means, Deep State, I mean, like, there could be one person who had, like, the math is really simple.
Trump's Arrangement Syndrome is real.
Some people are irrationally hateful of Trump.
We know that there are people in government who hate Trump.
And the question is, of all the people we've heard wishing for death on Trump after this happened, could any of them be in government?
So I think even if the answer is one, there's a possibility that someone in an official capacity was aiding and abetting or facilitating whatever was going to happen to Donald Trump.
I think the plan was for Trump to die and for Nikki Haley to be the nominee.
They would have blamed Iran, and then we would have had war with Iran overnight.
libby emmons
How terrible.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
And then Trump tilted his head a little bit.
And whoops.
libby emmons
They do seem like they want to blame Iran for this.
That's been- Yep.
Because then- Seeing that in the background.
tim pool
If Iran killed Trump, which doesn't make any sense, they'd say, we have to go to war.
And then you'd get tons of Trump supporters being like, yes.
Not all of them, but enough.
unidentified
Yeah.
I mean, I think Iran's the, you know, deep state boogeyman, like they're behind supposedly everything, you know, but at the same time, you know, our government has gone to great lengths to help Iran, you know, particularly Biden, particularly Obama, sending pallets of cash.
tim pool
Unfreezing money?
libby emmons
Unfreezing money.
unidentified
Yeah, what was it?
libby emmons
Sixteen billion?
Six billion?
tim pool
Six or seven billion, something like that.
unidentified
Yeah, I mean the main thing, you know, I have a Wall Street background too, so I'll just throw some, you know, money stuff at you.
The main thing they did, you could keep their money locked up for as long as you want or unlock their money.
Joe Biden's first acts in office were to shut down the Keystone Pipeline, to shut down leases on domestic oil production.
And that basically was the debit card for Iran because their oil became worth so much more money.
Trump had them in a box and they had sanctions on them.
Remove the sanctions, cut back on U.S.
domestic production, you make Iran and Russia rich.
And that's basically the gift, if you ask me, that's the gift that he's given to Iran is to cut back our domestic production.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
tim pool
Let's jump to this from CNBC.
Trump to hold rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he survived assassination attempts.
Part of me is like, please.
Don't do that.
But I also think he'll be safe.
I think it's a strong message.
And they say that Trump said the forthcoming rally in Butler will honor Corey Compratore.
The firefighter was killed in the July 13th attack, as well as the others who were injured, and a couple guys seriously injured.
So he's gonna have this rally.
Do they say when?
He, on Friday, vowed to hold another rally in the same area of Pennsylvania where he survived.
That is going to be the biggest rally he's ever done.
hannah claire brimelow
And his Secret Service just said he's not doing any more outdoor rallies.
libby emmons
But this would have to be outdoor.
hannah claire brimelow
I assume.
tim pool
What, is he going to have a million people show up?
libby emmons
Do you think?
unidentified
And you could be sure there'll be a thousand snipers on every rooftop from Pennsylvania.
I really hope that we could assume that, but I don't know.
I'm saying I would imagine there'll be a great show of, you know, theatrics on this one where there'll be snipers and helicopters and drones.
tim pool
It's it's only a couple hours drive from several different major metropolitan areas.
So not literally a million, but I'm saying this is going to be a massive rally in maybe.
I mean, Trump's Trump's had 200K.
What was it in D.C.
on January 6th?
I think he had like 250K total.
unidentified
On Wildwood, New Jersey he had 200.
Was it 200?
Was that 150?
150 maybe in Wildwood.
tim pool
He's going to have a lot of people show up.
Every single journalist from every single news organization is going to be begging their bosses to let him go cover this rally.
They're gonna be like, this is huge.
It's returned to the side of the sesame.
libby emmons
We're already talking about it.
Are you going to do something?
Are you going to go?
hannah claire brimelow
Well, a lot of cool guy named a lot.
libby emmons
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
A lot was there.
And then right.
Like an hour before he was like, I'm gonna go check out the Jill Biden rally in Pittsburgh and then left.
libby emmons
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
I've been to so many and you know, it felt like kind of a standard rally.
And yeah, I'd go check out this other event.
tim pool
Like Jill doesn't do these that often.
hannah claire brimelow
It's this weird thing because I work with a lot.
When we found out what happened, there's a moment we were like, was he still there?
Is he OK?
And then because I was on Twitter, I saw that he had posted something from the Joe Biden event.
I was like, oh, I guess he's OK.
tim pool
Thanks to Joe Biden.
I think this time they're going to secure the rooftop.
This time they're gonna secure the rooftop.
unidentified
Yeah, I would imagine.
hannah claire brimelow
That means they're not sloped, right?
That's their biggest fear?
tim pool
No, I think this time they're gonna have a guy in the water tower, too.
That's something else I heard, that Secret Service would have somebody on the water tower.
unidentified
Of course.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
A counter-sniper.
unidentified
Of course.
I have a friend who's in the Marine Reserves right now, a military guy, and he told me that he's a sniper, you know, a marksman.
He's not a sniper, but a marksman.
He told me that Anybody he knows that shoots looked at that landscape and says okay first place I want to be is on that water tower that that was number one but then he also said this he said when we go train
The suckiest guys hit from 200 yards.
He said then, you know, when you go to 300, 400, 500, guys start to filter out.
But, you know, the best in the business are over 500,000, 700,000 yards.
But he said the worst guys in our unit hit every time from 200.
tim pool
I heard they were saying that from that rooftop he was on to where Trump was, the difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 1.
That it was 130 yards is, uh, any moron makes their target.
unidentified
Yeah.
I said, I said on Newsmax last week that if you want to, you know, going back to what we were saying before, if you want to entertain the thought that it was like kind of some kind of inside job.
Okay.
It's whoever, you know, the Trump campaign, the secret service lady said the other day, Trump campaign has to give them five to seven days notice before they announce a date.
for them to do the early logistics on it.
Right, so whoever went out there for the Secret Service stood in the middle of that field and said,
okay, here's where the stage is gonna be.
I'm gonna put this water tower behind us.
I'm gonna leave this building on the side here unsnipered, and we're gonna put the stage right here.
To me, that's the person that was in on it who set the logistics.
Here's the stage.
We're going to make it a 125 perimeter when the building's 140?
tim pool
It's just... Is that what they said?
unidentified
125?
Something, you know, that was the intermediate perimeter.
The building was outside of it.
tim pool
So, you know, if... They call it the Pac-Man of security instead of the severe... Right.
...perimeter.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It cut out just where the building was.
unidentified
Doesn't... defies logic.
hannah claire brimelow
I wish we could hear more, and maybe I just haven't seen enough of their statements, but I wish I could hear more from local law enforcement because, again, Cheadle was so quick to say, oh, well, we're in charge, but also we weren't in charge of that building.
Like, it doesn't make sense to me that Secret Service would give up a building.
They're like, oh, local law enforcement's in charge of securing this.
And then law enforcement pushed back and was like, no, no, we were in charge of traffic.
What are you talking about?
It's the inconsistency that I think will ultimately haunt America forever, right?
The fact that we have all kinds of misinformation, lack of information, silence coming from these people.
Again, Biden and Trump, and I guess Kamala too, they're all actively being protected by the Secret Service.
Everyone should be concerned regardless of what your political affiliation is.
The fact that this agency seems to not be able to produce an answer and also seem to avoid Taking responsibility, they couldn't put a plan together, but they failed.
And again, you don't have to like Biden, you don't have to like Kamala Harris, but all of our major politicians rely on Secret Service.
That was true from the minute Trump left, right?
He still had to depend on Secret Service to take him to the hospital and to make sure he was safe at the RNC.
Like, the fact that this is such a A needed and like irreplaceable part of a protocol for safety for these people should have everyone concerned by the fact that we are basically hearing nothing and when we hear something it's inconsistent.
unidentified
Well don't forget we're also still waiting for the full details on the JFK assassination so it may be another 60 years before we actually get the facts but I certainly think Tim's on something that is set up.
hannah claire brimelow
Roger Stone's still convinced that's not the guy.
Which guy?
right? Like whether or not it's accurate or whatever. They were like, it's this guy and
Really?
it's for this reason. Like we don't even have that right now. They're maybe presenting a
guy. They're using a picture, you know, from when he was 16, even though he's 20 years
old. Like it's all weird.
unidentified
Roger Stone's still convinced that's not the guy.
Which guy?
Stone still thinks there's another person involved.
tim pool
I think it's mainstream now that JFK and RFK were killed by the intelligence agencies.
CIA, I think, you know, RFK Jr.
I think said that on this show.
Ron Paul said it.
That was really funny.
We were interviewing Ron Paul for The Culture War and he's like, CIA did it.
And I was like, wow, we're just there now culturally that everybody's kind of like, yeah, we're done messing around.
That was the CIA or something like that.
You know, one of the intelligence agencies killed JFK.
RFK thinks so.
That's why it's funny that he's like, he wanted secret service protection.
Because my attitude is kind of like, you probably want to keep your private security detail.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
Especially now with what happened with Trump.
I'm like, You know, people are saying Trump should be hiring that same company that RFK was using.
unidentified
Right, maybe RFK should ask for a stipend instead, you know what I mean?
You guys keep your, just give me the money.
I'll get my own security.
Thanks, but no thanks.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
I mean, I think part of it, too, is just the principle of the fact that, you know, when when he requested it, you know, summer of last year, the Biden administration was like, oh, well, it's like the protocol says 120 days.
They probably should have gone to anyways.
But I could understand where at least that was like sort of an excuse you could use.
But he kept asking for it.
And then when when RFK finally got Secret Service protection, we were well with this within this 120 days before the election window.
libby emmons
And plus, it was only after Trump was like, hey, You should probably give this guy some Secret Service protection.
And Biden was like, all right, all right.
hannah claire brimelow
Trump and Massey and the governor of Colorado, I mean, all sorts of people had to be like, hey, it's actually really critical now.
And they were like, we've decided apropos of nothing that we're gonna do this.
tim pool
I heard a rumor, which is probably just a rumor that RFK Jr.
might or is in talks to endorse Trump.
Have you guys heard this?
libby emmons
No, I haven't.
hannah claire brimelow
I had heard that.
libby emmons
Wait, there was a thing.
Yeah, we saw that today and then it was debunked right away.
tim pool
Oh, debunked, huh?
libby emmons
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
See, when they leaked that call, I thought that was like one of the two campaigns like kind of pushing that narrative.
But I always thought RFK was going to hang on to see if Biden dropped out because he would have run as a Democrat if the DNC hadn't just forced him out.
That's my opinion.
tim pool
The issue for RFK Jr.
is that he doesn't have the advertising power that the Democrats have.
libby emmons
Yeah.
RFK said it was fake news.
tim pool
Oh, okay.
libby emmons
Yeah.
unidentified
Well, I don't know if I believe it.
tim pool
That leaked phone call came out between him and Trump, and Trump was saying you should endorse me.
So certainly talks were happening.
To say that he's in talks to endorse Trump is to imply that he's considering it, but he may not be considering it.
And that could be the story.
libby emmons
Right, right.
tim pool
Yeah.
But I'm wondering, with Biden out and Harris, are we going to see RFK Jr.
improve?
And he might actually do a lot better.
libby emmons
Well, I think he has an opportunity.
I mean, he could go further to the left of Kamala and really disrupt the votes that she hopes to get over there.
tim pool
What if he won?
Like, what if we just, like, come election night, we're sitting here and we're like, wait, what?
And it's like, RFK Jr.
won narrowly.
libby emmons
But he's not on ballots, is he?
unidentified
I think he's on 38 states.
tim pool
He's enough to win the Electoral College.
libby emmons
Oh, that's interesting.
hannah claire brimelow
Despite mainstream media being like, it'll never happen, it's a long shot campaign, I'll give it to him, right?
He said he was going to get enough ballots and he did.
unidentified
In New York you need 45,000 signatures to get on the ballot.
In New York you need 45,000 signatures to get on the ballot.
He turned in 140,000, 100,000 more, and the deep state unit party, because the board of
elections in New York is run by both parties, Democrat and Republican, they're challenging
over 100,000 of his signatures to try to keep him off the ballot.
So they're giving him hell everywhere.
hannah claire brimelow
But it's always Democrats, right?
Oh yeah.
Remember when he first rolled out his campaign?
They're like, he's stealing from Republicans!
He's a threat to Trump!
That's just never been true.
tim pool
Yeah, Trump's base, what's the funny way to describe it?
Trump's bottom is solid?
That's what people are saying.
Trump's got a solid bottom, you know?
He can't go lower than 44%.
Something like that.
unidentified
Are we going back to the gay stories again?
tim pool
Someone came on this show and said, Trump's bottom is solid.
And I was like, well, that's one way to describe it.
And what they meant was, the bottom of his polling metrics don't move.
You're not going to go below 44%.
Something like that.
Those people are not going to vote for anybody else, be it because they like Donald Trump, because they want to see a human Molotov cocktail, or because Donald Trump punishes the left and makes people feel good.
libby emmons
Well, it is fun.
It is fun watching him go after people.
tim pool
There's a lot of people who are like, don't know, don't care, but they get so mad, I'm voting for Trump.
libby emmons
And then when... Like, almost good enough.
tim pool
You know, we played this video this morning of a woman walking into a store with a bunch of Trump merchandise.
And she's like, they're gonna take away your rights, you know?
And she's like, who is?
And she's like, the federal government.
And she's like, you're nuts.
And the lady's like, read Project 2025.
I'd love to be there.
Because then I'd just be like, wait, what's Project 2025?
And she's like, it's what their plan is to take over the government.
I look at my phone and I go...
This actually looks pretty good.
I wasn't going to do it, but I think I'm going to vote for Trump.
Lady, I was actually going to vote for Kamala, but I'm a Trump voter now.
libby emmons
There's a lot of stuff, like I started reading Project 2025 when it started being, you know, because I was like, oh, what's this about?
And then my mom calls me and she's, you know, very lefty and she always wants to talk about politics.
And I'm always like, Mom, this is my free time.
Why are you doing this to me?
Call me when I'm at work.
We'll talk about it then.
Um, you want me to write more?
Write me a column.
But, uh, she was like, did you see this project 2025?
And I was like, what?
It's seven in the morning.
I haven't seen anything yet.
And she sends it to me and I start reading it.
I get like a hundred pages and I'm like, mom, this really isn't that bad.
Some of this is pretty good.
Are you trying to convince me more?
tim pool
And it's like moderate.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's moderate.
And we were talking with one of the guys, Paul Danz from Project 2025 on The Culture, our podcast this morning, and I was just like, I don't think it goes far enough.
Like, we want to de-weaponize the FBI.
And I was like, I want to abolish it.
Can we get that?
And they're like, oh, yeah.
And they were like, and we're not touching anything with Social Security.
And I was like, oh, wow, like, I want defunding of everything in the government.
libby emmons
Just rip it to shreds.
I like getting rid of the DOE.
And that's something my mom's always like, yeah, they're for that.
Yeah, they had a Some commentary on that.
Whenever my mom hears that, she's horrified.
And I'm like, but why?
They're not a new, they're not like an old agency.
What have they done?
They destroy everything.
Education is just worse.
hannah claire brimelow
But public school and teachers unions are also always against school choice movements.
Like with West Virginia, with the Hope Scholarship, it was always like big teachers groups, public schools are like, you're going to ruin the school.
It's like, the schools aren't doing well.
libby emmons
The schools are ruined.
hannah claire brimelow
Like, we should have some innovation here.
They're not doing well, famously.
Like, why are you for this?
unidentified
You want to hear a good story?
I used to work for Overstock.com.
I don't know if you guys know Overstock, Patrick Byrne.
He's kind of one of the guys fighting against the election stuff.
But there was a time in New York where they cut out this stipend that the teachers got, like 25 bucks.
They lost it in their negotiations.
So I knew the teachers union in New York, Mike Mulgrew.
He's one of the worst leftists on earth, but I knew him.
And my boss said to me, tell him we'll give every teacher in the New York State Teachers Union a $25 gift card for overstock to make up for them losing it this year.
You know?
And I was like, wow, all right.
I like working for these public companies.
They just throw around millions of dollars.
But he said, you know, it's good PR for us.
And then maybe they'll buy something else down the line.
But, you know, overall, he's a big school choice guy.
tim pool
You should.
Next time your mom calls you and she's like, I heard, you know, they're in this, it should be like, well, did you hear that Trump is going to abolish the Department of Consumer Relations?
And then see how your mom reacts to that news.
Because like, all I can think of when I hear this story from anybody that he's going to get rid of the Department of Education is, What does the Department of Education do?
libby emmons
It's a very good question, isn't it?
tim pool
And they're like, I don't know, but he shouldn't get rid of it and be like, okay, what if I told you, like, what if the Department of Education was like a program to take funding away from schools?
Would you be for it or against it then?
I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, what if your mom calls you and you're like, yeah, Trump's going to empower teachers to have more influence in the classroom and really be able to do all the stuff because we're taking the federal government out of schools, right?
unidentified
You could sell this to her in a way that I'm sure she would be like, no, no, no.
hannah claire brimelow
You can't say the end of my sentence.
But like, it's fascinating to me that it's like, no matter what, if they hear it from a pundit, they're like, Well, you know, Rachel Maddow says it's bad, so I don't trust it at all.
tim pool
Exactly.
libby emmons
I did get her to stop watching Rachel Maddow last year.
hannah claire brimelow
Congratulations.
tim pool
That's a big win.
Send your mom the Newsbusters Borders Are video.
That's perfect, where they keep calling her Borders Are.
But I think the issue for the most part is, for anyone's family member, you cannot tell them, well, actually, Trump's going to do a good thing, another good thing.
They're going to go, no, no, no.
I watch Jake Tapper.
No, no.
You've got to just...
You've got to break the absurdity by agreeing with them in a way that makes no sense, and just to see where they're at in their cult mentality.
Like, the US Department of Stonemasonry is going to get gutted, and I'm really worried about that.
You better tell all your friends, and then just have them go around saying the most nonsensical, stupid things.
libby emmons
Yeah, because it doesn't exist.
tim pool
And they don't know that, and they don't even know what the Department of Education is or does.
And when this lady said, read Project 2025, you know she didn't.
You know she read nothing about it.
She heard some crackpot game of telephone, and then she believed it.
And that's where we are.
That's who's voting.
unidentified
The DOE, to your question before, what do they really do?
They basically just play out the orders of the teachers' unions.
You know, Randi Weingarten, basically, you know, the national head of the teachers' union, she basically tells the DOE what to do.
And, you know, the local unions, they bully them around.
hannah claire brimelow
Basically.
I grew up in Connecticut and I remember one of my high school – I went to public school in high school – and I remember one of my teachers saying that – and I can't remember how this works exactly.
Someone will be better at quoting this than I am sure in the comments.
But basically like to be a teacher in Connecticut, you had to be a part of the union even if you didn't want to be.
So even if you didn't have any kind of involvement with them, you still had to give them money, which I think is fascinating, right?
Like it's there to support teachers but actually not at all.
It's mostly to hold you hostage.
unidentified
The union guy I know, just to close that loop, he turned down $25 times 44,000 union members because Patrick Byrne was the biggest advocate for school choice in the state of Utah and the guy said he didn't want to do business with someone who cared about school choice.
So the union leader Turned down millions of dollars to be split up amongst his members because he didn't like the school choice policies of the guy giving the gift, so he didn't take the gift.
hannah claire brimelow
It's wild to me that teachers don't like school choice so much.
Like could you imagine being a teacher and you're in this school and it's like all the kids are unhappy there, it's struggling, whatever else.
Or you could be a teacher at a school where people opt to go there, right?
Like they are interested, they're committed to their kids' education.
Like it would just seem like such a different environment to me.
tim pool
I want to pull up this story from the Atlantic.
Kamala Harris and the threat of a woman's laugh.
Criticism of emotional expression has long been a weapon of choice for those wanting to cut down women in political power.
And I gotta say, I was terrified, actually.
Just a moment ago, Libby laughed as I was trying to read this, and it sent chills down my spine.
Oh no, she's doing it again!
unidentified
Stop!
tim pool
Okay, Kamala Harris has that mental disorder where you laugh at inappropriate times.
I don't know what it's called.
The Simpsons made fun of it with Dr. Hibbert.
And this is what they have to do to run interference to protect people like Kamala Harris, because she's a cackling fiend.
hannah claire brimelow
I like that she's both the girl boss, top prosecutor who's gonna get Trump, and a victim, right?
libby emmons
It's crazy how she can do everything.
unidentified
I thought she was the brat now.
Isn't she the brat?
She's just brat.
libby emmons
It's a vibe.
unidentified
She's brat.
Brat is a verb, you say.
libby emmons
Yeah, but it's a vibe.
hannah claire brimelow
It's just an adjective.
unidentified
In Milwaukee, it's a sandwich.
A brat, you know?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, she is a sandwich.
tim pool
There you go.
Here's what they say.
unidentified
Look at this.
tim pool
Donald Trump doesn't really laugh.
He smirks.
He bares his teeth silently.
Sometimes he folds his arms or shakes his head to register humor.
Yes, he did in a rally in Florida, blah, blah, blah.
But he rarely laughs.
Mary Trump, his niece, has said that Fred Trump, the former president's father, drilled into his son that laughing is to make yourself vulnerable.
It's to let down your guard in some way, to lose a little bit of control.
That can't happen.
Oh, that's nonsense.
hannah claire brimelow
The media should not be able to use Mary Trump as a credible source for anything going on with Donald Trump.
Remember how she wrote that book and obviously does not get invited to anything family related?
I don't understand how it could be more patently obvious she doesn't like him and probably would not give accurate information.
unidentified
Mary Trump's the RFK of the Trump family.
He's kind of cool, you know what I mean?
No, but I mean the whole family hates him.
I would assume Mary.
tim pool
This is so wild.
In many recent cultures, laughter for women has been an outright transgressive act.
Under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, the former First Lady Laura Bush noted in a 2001 speech, women faced beatings if they were seen laughing.
And this is what is apparently, according to The Atlantic, behind men's criticism Those who seem triggered by Harris's laugh, though, might feel the way they do for a reason.
In her book, The Unruly Woman, Gender and the Genres of Laughter, the media scholar Kathleen Rowe Carlin remarks that when women laugh on film and television, they reframe themselves as subjects rather than objects, asserting their right to an emotional response.
Women also laugh when they eat salads.
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
Yes.
Someone brought this up the other day in all advertising.
unidentified
She's looking at me like, no, he's not.
libby emmons
Women laughing alone eating a salad.
hannah claire brimelow
It's the stock images of women.
tim pool
There's a meme about if you look up women eating salad, they're always laughing.
As if there's something funny about eating a salad.
libby emmons
And what really drives me is like... And they're always alone.
They're always alone eating the salad.
tim pool
And the thing is like, okay, I gotta be honest.
Sometimes I go out to eat with my friends and I will laugh in the middle of my meal.
But I don't pick up my cheeseburger, hold it to my face and just bust out laughing while holding my- I put the cheeseburger down if someone's talking to me.
libby emmons
You don't gaze at the cheeseburger.
tim pool
I don't take a fork and stick it in my tomato and lettuce, hold it to my mouth and go, now finish your joke.
But that's what stock photos show.
So the real issue here is that Kamala Harris was probably told by some consultant, laugh.
Dude, watch her when she's being questioned, and it is the most insane thing I saw recently.
She's being interviewed and some guy goes, Recently you've been criticized as the most liberal member of the Senate.
And she goes, Why are you laughing?
It's a real question.
libby emmons
It's an actual inquiry.
tim pool
I don't understand the laughter all the time, nonstop.
hannah claire brimelow
Was this article written by a woman?
tim pool
Yes, of course.
libby emmons
Of course it was.
hannah claire brimelow
See, this is the thing.
I feel like it's just female insecurity right now.
libby emmons
Did they say who wrote it?
tim pool
Sophie.
libby emmons
This book about women laughing.
unidentified
Probably one of the top publishing companies.
hannah claire brimelow
The thing is, it just, to me, screams female insecurity, right?
I think Kamala Harris laughs at a weird time.
I think her laugh is kind of like somebody on the culture this morning called her the
cackler in chief, right?
Like it's not lots of literature and love letters and all kinds of stuff has been devoted
to how beautiful some women's laugh are.
She's not one of them.
And then this girl is like, well, if they're laughing at Kamala's laugh, then they're also
laughing at all women's laughs.
libby emmons
Well, the thing is, it has to be, any criticism of this candidate has to be reframed as misogyny and racism.
That's the only chance they even remotely have.
And, you know, to be honest, it's not a bad chance.
It has steered culture for the past several years.
The entire Me Too movement was, anything you say about women is probably misogynistic and you deserve to lose your job, or you're racist.
tim pool
We should call Kamala, Katelyn Kamala.
libby emmons
You like Cackling Kamala?
tim pool
Yeah, because it'll... as a meme it highlights that she laughs all the time and it'll put the seed in people's minds to pay attention when she talks because she laughs inappropriately and then it will put some negative pressure where she'll have to reconsider this or people will be like, why are you laughing?
libby emmons
Yeah, she does laugh all the time.
tim pool
It's... Every, every, everything!
I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding.
unidentified
I agree with you.
It's a form of distraction that she uses.
tim pool
Well, Hillary did the same thing.
And my theory is that the consultants are telling female candidates, you can't be commanding like a man.
It comes off as whingy.
You know, and or naggy.
So you have to come off as playful and exciting.
And that's the strategy there.
And I think I don't know that that's that's right.
But I can tell you, when AOC went on stage in the Bronx and was yelling and pumping her fist, it did not sound inspiring.
It was cringe.
libby emmons
It was very cringy.
tim pool
Yeah.
libby emmons
Yeah.
When she, who's she out there with Jamal Bowman and he lost, right?
tim pool
Yeah.
And then she distanced herself from him.
libby emmons
Yeah.
Well, cause he lost.
hannah claire brimelow
She was like, I'm very busy.
tim pool
Before, before his race, she was distancing herself from him.
Cause she knew he was going to lose.
unidentified
Oh, he was pulling bad.
tim pool
Yup.
Yup.
And, uh, and she knows, and that's why AOC is like, we cannot remove Joe Biden.
And the next day she's like, I'm for Kamala.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
They all are.
It's funny on a dime.
They're instantly for whoever they're told to be into.
libby emmons
That's what they do.
They coalesce around a person, they do what they're told, and then they tell you all that it was organic.
tim pool
Right.
The Republicans had a civil war over Trump.
DeSantis, Vivek, Nikki Haley.
And DeSantis was the real big contender against Trump, but that was a civil war in MAGA world.
hannah claire brimelow
Right.
It's as organic as Kamala Harris' laugh and or that Obama phone call that we got a nice video of today, right, where the Obamas call and endorse her and they all act like they're, you know, best buds.
It's, you know, I understand that there's always going to be a certain level of, like, marketing and theatrics in politics, right?
But I just can't imagine that voters are looking at this and being like, wow, we're being given a very genuine insight into Kamala Harris's life.
I mean, it just – it reads very fake to me and I think that is not actually what people want right now.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
libby emmons
Fakeness?
You don't think people want fakeness?
hannah claire brimelow
Well, I think it's like when you have a culture that created vlogging, right?
Like influencers who are constantly kind of oversharing, overexposing their lives.
I think people are very attuned to when they are being sold something now.
And I think they're really trying to sell Kamala.
libby emmons
That's why they're doing this whole brat thing.
That's why they're doing this whole like, she's one of us, you know, kind of.
unidentified
So do I have that wrong?
School me on this.
So it's not the brat or a brat.
Brat is just like a state of mind, you're saying?
libby emmons
Yeah, it's like from this UK singer.
unidentified
It's like a Riz.
hannah claire brimelow
It's the name of Charli XCX's album, and it's like, you know the term, like, Cool Girl Summer or Hot Girl Summer?
Like, it's sort of a, like, you are The girl right now, like you're having a good time.
libby emmons
It's like an It Girl thing.
unidentified
You got the Riz.
libby emmons
Yeah.
Is it like a Riz?
It's like an It Girl thing.
unidentified
I just learned about the Riz from my daughters.
My daughter's 25.
libby emmons
That's why I'm trying to give you It Girl.
hannah claire brimelow
Your daughters will be able to probably better hear that than I can.
unidentified
It's like one of those things.
hannah claire brimelow
It's like a very high compliment from Gen Z right now, which is interesting because it seems to basically have been manufactured by whatever record company is behind this British pop star.
tim pool
Always how younger generations form culture, they're told to by older generations.
And then they think they're cool because they're marching in lockstep.
libby emmons
And then it turns out that the Sex Pistols were a manufactured boy band.
tim pool
Yeah, of course.
hannah claire brimelow
Heartbreaking.
tim pool
I went to a skate park and I saw Black Lives Matter spray painted and these kids think they're edgy for spray painting what Walmart told them to spray paint.
libby emmons
Right.
tim pool
And I'm like, that's not very edgy, dude.
hannah claire brimelow
My complaint is that it's, like, probably a British record label, right?
Like, why are we letting the Brits have this?
And, you know, all the love to my people, but, like, why are they—why is there so much influence on American politics for the Democrats right now?
tim pool
You know, I think that it's very much a natural cycle because the right, I suppose, and people of more traditional values do not engage kids the way the corporations do, and these institutions have been dominated by the left for some time.
And so they intentionally target them with these things to create these slang terms, which they can then use.
And it's funny to watch these videos where Gen Z people are like, oh, I'm really excited to vote for Kamala.
It's like, why?
libby emmons
Yeah.
Because it's historic, Tim.
It's a historic moment.
I listened to some- Gotta fall in line.
hannah claire brimelow
An NBC contributor today, we were talking about Kamala Harris's potential VP picks, and they were like, I mean, she's looking at white men.
Like, that's what it is.
They're talking about the swing states and stuff like that.
libby emmons
Just like her husband.
hannah claire brimelow
Okay, but then they said, like, they don't need anyone to help her make history.
She's kind of already got that angle.
Which I thought was so funny, right?
Like, that's what Kamal is here to do, make history.
Not help our country, not to institute good policies, not to unite people, just to make history for her identity.
libby emmons
My favorite thing is how there's so many people of color or whatever who are like, oh, white people are bad.
And then you look at their spouses.
It's like you're literally married to a white man.
Like the worst guy ever.
unidentified
Is Josh Shapiro hetero?
The guy from Pennsylvania?
Is he hetero?
tim pool
He's Jewish though, right?
unidentified
No, he's Jewish.
tim pool
The media was saying that he can't be the running mate because he's Jewish, because they would lose too many votes over it.
libby emmons
Because Democrats are anti-Semitic.
tim pool
They're all racist.
libby emmons
They're racist and they hate Jews.
unidentified
I'm thinking he could be the last hurrah for white hetero males getting advancement opportunities.
Not that we want them to.
tim pool
With the Israel stuff, they're never picking Shapiro.
unidentified
Got it.
hannah claire brimelow
I think it'll, I mean, I think it'll probably come down to Andy Bashar out of Kentucky and the guy from Arizona.
libby emmons
You don't think they're going to go with Buttigieg?
hannah claire brimelow
No, I don't.
I really don't.
Partially because I don't think Kamala wants to be upstaged by Buttigieg.
I feel like that would be too much star power.
libby emmons
And whatever kids he's bought from.
hannah claire brimelow
However he's acquired them.
Do you have a guess on who the VP will be?
unidentified
I really don't have a strong sense that Camel is even going to make it to November, to be quite honest with you.
So I think, I don't know if it's going to be a challenge or, you know, at this point it's, you know, musical presidential candidates going, you know, and if you remember back to the primaries, Buttigieg was leading.
Right?
And then all of a sudden, you know, Biden made a deal with Clyburn and Obama that he's going to win on Super Tuesday, but he's going to do anything they say.
You know, they've had him now.
It doesn't look, it almost looks like she, Kamala beat Obama to the punch, right?
And Obama was kind of like forced into.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
I think Obama didn't want to.
unidentified
He got outplayed.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
unidentified
I think he got outplayed by her and Biden, but I don't know.
I mean, I personally think they're going to go with, you know, a gay person or another minority person.
I don't think male matters to them.
hannah claire brimelow
There's a bunch of female governors who are kind of saying like, no, no, we are ready for a two woman ticket.
Um, I think I don't think that's true.
I don't think it's true at all.
unidentified
I think mayor Pete is like the darling of the party and they think, Hey, listen, if we can any way, shape or form rigmarole this one, like we did last time, we'll get a, um, black, but not black woman with a gay guy.
And like, it's like the D D E I buffet.
hannah claire brimelow
Well he's transportation secretary right now and I think we've had so many big news stories about infrastructure failures like the bridge and the train in Ohio and all of this stuff that like he may come with too much baggage right now.
I mean you have to kind of answer for this thing and I don't think anybody talks about that because everyone knows it was not handled well or appropriately.
tim pool
If Trump lost his life two weeks ago it would have been woman of color versus woman of color.
And they would have been going like, it doesn't matter who you vote for.
Both of them want war with Iran and both of them are women of color.
unidentified
Yep.
You're right about that.
tim pool
And then Trump, you know what really happened?
Because they don't want to admit this.
FBI Director Wray, he doesn't want to admit this.
Trump was there, and he looked over to his right, and he saw the guy on the top of the building, and he saw the guy with his keen, eagle eyes.
Trump saw the finger on the trigger, and then he smirked and tilted his head perfectly and went right past him, and he went, ha!
It was all part of his plan.
unidentified
Matrix.
tim pool
That's the gag, though.
When they're saying, like, he wasn't even shot by a bullet, we go the other way and the exact opposite.
In fact, you saw Donald Trump raise his hand to his head when it happened?
What actually happened was, as the bullet was coming, he swatted it away.
But he was so fast he hit himself in the ear and it was actually his lightning speed which created a vacuum which sliced his own ear because Trump is too fast and too strong.
That's what happened.
libby emmons
That's pretty funny.
I like that one.
tim pool
George Alexopoulos drew the picture whenever it happened.
He drew a picture of Trump going like this and swatting the bullet.
I thought that was hilarious because he raises his hand to his head.
unidentified
That was another great moment at the convention where Trump said, look at this chart.
I love that chart.
He said, I love that chart.
I didn't really get to see it last time.
hannah claire brimelow
It's the only good thing illegal immigration has ever done for our country, which is to create a reason to make that chart to give Trump something to look at.
Sorry, it was terrible to live around that line.
tim pool
What really worries me is that the deep state has gotten really bad at everything, including assassinations.
And I think this is actually the strong message to the people.
It's, maybe you like the deep state.
Maybe you're sitting here saying, you know, it's good that we have intelligence agencies running things behind the scenes to keep us all safe.
And then I say to you, Dude, they can't even assassinate a guy anymore.
They're screwing everything up.
Like, it's time for an overhaul, right?
They've lost control of everything.
They are winging it.
They are panicked.
I'm just, in my mind, watching that live stream when the bullet goes past Trump, and then he gets back up and yells, fight Kamala Harris, just, yeah, spitting out her coffee at the fact that Trump survived.
libby emmons
Yeah, I think she didn't like that.
hannah claire brimelow
I think a lot of people didn't like it.
I mean, that's why you got, like, Joy Reid saying it's suspicious that they let him stop for that photo op.
Like, you have this iconic moment of somebody seeing, you know, people who have come to support him, like, terrified, not sure what's going on, and, like, offering them comfort, and you make it something cynical and bad.
tim pool
I just love all these like slang terms that Gen Z uses because they're just like words made up by corporations.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
And then they're just like, I'm going to say the thing that other people are saying, but I don't, I don't, I'm not trying to rag on it.
It's, it's what everybody did.
You know what I mean?
Every generation goes through that period and then you get a little older and you're like, that's why I was saying that because Interscope wanted me to say that.
That's so lame.
Like, they have market research groups and they're like, which t-shirt should we do?
Should we do funk?
Nah, it doesn't work.
What about blip?
unidentified
Nah.
tim pool
Brat?
Maybe, let's try that one.
And then they go to a bunch of teenage girls and they're like, brat.
And they're like, like the dolls we play with as kids!
Right and now just like that just like that and it works and now they're all posting it and it's you know And it's actually pretty cringe brat used to be in it kind of an insult No, it's kind of a compliment, but that's the best what happened.
That's sort of how it goes Yeah, I'm saying but no implication is that you're arrogant cocky and you know, you're you're your own person you brat But you cool Yeah, bad means good.
Remember that?
It is funny because there was a period in the 90s where bad meant good, but now bad means bad again.
And nobody says bad means good.
unidentified
Wasn't that a song?
libby emmons
Michael Jackson.
He had a whole album.
Bad.
tim pool
Yes, but that was literal.
He was saying, I'm bad.
You know it.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
And then when I was like, bad, but nobody says that anymore.
libby emmons
Sick.
You could say sick.
That means good.
unidentified
Super bad.
But even even like loving it like that.
tim pool
I don't know anybody who's ever said super bad at the time.
Sick isn't really even said that often anymore.
Now it's based.
libby emmons
Yeah.
People say that.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Based.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, conservatives say that.
I don't, I don't think.
tim pool
No leftists at all time.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Gen Z leftists, especially on X say based.
libby emmons
What do they say is based?
tim pool
Uh, I mean, when your brain doesn't work properly, yeah, Kamala's laugh.
And it's like, actually, that is cringe.
unidentified
So it's not whack.
Whack is not cool anymore.
W-H-A-C-K.
Whack.
tim pool
I don't know that whack is ever cool.
hannah claire brimelow
I still say whack.
I think whack's a great, great slang term.
Like, it's just the best way to describe situations.
tim pool
We need to come up with a slang term for Kamala that's a compliment, but it sounds awful.
unidentified
Hmm.
You like a little pole?

What he said was, he was saying after his last surgery, he stopped and thought and said, why aren't I happy yet?
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
And then he was just like, none of this has done anything to make me happy.
I don't understand.
And then stopped, reflected, researched and said, Oh my God, this is all really, really bad.
And now he's gone the other way.
libby emmons
I talked to a young woman who went through with the top surgery, as they call it, and had a double mastectomy and did not feel appropriately male and started thinking about all of the other surgeries that she could do to make herself male.
And then she was like, wait a second, that's not going to do it.
And now she's basically just grieving her body.
tim pool
Yeah.
You know what it is?
Women are told every single day by the media that men have it better.
That it sucks to be a woman.
It's the patriarch.
It's a boys club.
There's a glass ceiling.
Women don't have this.
Women don't have that.
None of it's true.
It's all gross exaggerations.
It's a lot of envy.
And so then you get these young women who are like, I want to be that.
I want to have the good life.
And then they undergo these surgeries and do these things and they're like, nothing has improved.
And it's like, well, you ever see the story of that woman who lived as a man Yeah, that's fascinating.
Didn't she kill herself?
libby emmons
Nora something?
She did recently kill herself.
tim pool
Yeah, I think she committed suicide, and it was largely due to her experiences.
She never got surgery or anything.
libby emmons
It was a fascinating book.
tim pool
But she changed her clothes, changed her appearance, and masculinized herself in a way that she could pass as a guy, and then she was like, it was miserable.
She was like, I never understood.
It's just like cold, emotionless.
Nobody's nice to you.
Nobody likes you.
And for guys, they're like, what do you mean?
That's how it's always been.
And for her, she was like, not for me growing up as a woman.
And it's like, well, yeah, society loves women.
Men are disposable.
So it's like guys grow up drenched in the trenches and drenched in trash.
And women grow up protected and sheltered.
And then when the women get older, and this is funny, because I know the left is going to lose their minds over this.
But the research on social behaviors between males and females finds that, at an early age, men have zero social market value.
And that's not sexual, that's social market value, meaning, what do you provide?
It's nothing.
They have no skills, there's other guys, and you only need one guy to have a million babies, so sorry, you're worthless.
Women, because they're the only ones who have babies, are maximum social value at younger ages, but as women get older, Then their social value declines.
And again, it's not sexual, it's social.
So this includes workplace value and things like this.
There's an inflection point around 28 where the value of males and females intersect and the social value of women is declining.
Women in their late 20s experiencing this are like, this is not fair.
Why is everything so bad now?
And the guys are going, wow, life is finally starting to get better.
Then along come the new age gender ideologues who say, it's because you should be a man.
And these women are like, yeah, men have it better.
And it's not necessarily true.
It's just social differences based on evolutionary biology.
And some women take that up and decide they're going to try to be men instead.
And it doesn't work the way they think it's going to work.
libby emmons
No, it of course doesn't work.
hannah claire brimelow
Which is true for a lot of stuff, right?
Like we're describing is like That searching, right?
The not feeling good enough, the internal insecurity, and like the woman you were talking to who went through the double spinal mastectomy, like I'm actually really glad that she had that realization after just top surgery, right?
libby emmons
Yeah, it could have been much worse.
hannah claire brimelow
It could have been so much worse.
libby emmons
And you see videos, like Libs of TikTok post these videos of people who went through the whole thing and they still don't feel good, you know?
unidentified
Yeah.
hannah claire brimelow
And they're falsely told, well, just keep going.
Well, it's because you haven't, you know, there's, there's more, there's more.
libby emmons
Right.
You haven't hit your gender euphoria yet.
And what everybody forgets is like, when they're, they're looking for that, to crest that gender euphoric wave.
It's like, it's just like drugs.
If you're taking drugs, you're never going to hit the euphoria you think you're looking for.
It always is just going to turn around and be like, psych!
hannah claire brimelow
It's elusive, yeah.
libby emmons
Wrong.
tim pool
Alright, Glazed Donuts says, Hey Tim, I got the perfect anime recommendation for you, Rooster Fighter.
It's a manga getting an anime adaptation.
The first trailer was released yesterday on YouTube.
Is this quite literally an anime?
I pulled it up where a rooster, like a literal rooster, is fighting demons.
Because I think this is what it is, and if it is, you are correct.
This is the greatest anime ever made.
libby emmons
There's a rooster fighting demons?
tim pool
Yeah, and it can like, I guess it can fire laser beams out of its face.
So I'm excited to watch that for sure, and I will watch nothing else.
libby emmons
There's a teaser.
tim pool
Yeah.
Comic Con trailer, huh?
It is quite literally a... Is this Rooster Fighter?
libby emmons
Is this what we're looking at?
tim pool
It's literally a rooster fighting demons.
unidentified
Yeah, one day ago.
tim pool
That is the greatest thing ever.
I will watch it.
hannah claire brimelow
Are you going to get chickens?
Are you on this chicken acquisition trend?
unidentified
I don't know about chicken acquisition, Trent.
I heard you grow chickens or raise chickens somewhere around.
tim pool
They make more of themselves.
That's what they do.
You leave them out back and then, I don't do anything.
We just put them in a box and then we come back out and there's more of them.
So I'm like, we had to eat some of them because there were too many.
They just keep making more of themselves.
libby emmons
How were they?
Did you fry any of them?
You didn't cook a Val, right?
tim pool
We cooked the roosters.
We've never cooked any of the hens.
Uh, the hens, we just kind of let them, they're layers, they're not broilers, so they're for eggs.
And then we do have some that have stopped laying because they're old, but you know, they're alright.
unidentified
Keep them around.
tim pool
They did their time, they get to retire.
The dudes, however, there are too many, and so there's nothing we can do about it.
We could release them, or we could eat them.
So we ate them, and they tasted pretty good.
Yeah, doesn't taste like store-bought chicken, though.
unidentified
But what is the chicken acquisition?
tim pool
Roosters are rubbery.
unidentified
I don't know about that.
libby emmons
I think that's why you have to cook them like French food.
The French have ordered the market on how to cook roosters.
tim pool
We made a rooster, Alison made a rooster chili, and it was delicious, and everybody annihilated it right away.
And then we did a baked rooster, and it's okay, but I guess it's not as fatty, and it's not as good.
libby emmons
That's why you have to do the coq au vin, like the braised I mean, look, if I had to eat a rooster, I have no problem eating a rooster.
tim pool
It tastes good.
But if I had to choose, I would like a chicken.
A hen, I should say.
Not chicken.
Because it's all chicken.
But hens are much better.
hannah claire brimelow
I think a lot of people, especially during, like, post-COVID, but, you know, it's probably going on for a long time, are, a lot of people have started, you know, getting their own chickens.
I mean, like, well, I can just have my own eggs and sort of that, like, return to independence in a lot of ways.
I don't know if Staten Island would be, you know, interested in having a backyard chicken farm.
libby emmons
I bet there's some Staten Islanders who have chickens.
There probably are, right?
Yeah.
I'm sure there are, but… There's rooftop farms all over Brooklyn and people have chickens and stuff.
Like, that is happening.
hannah claire brimelow
This could be you!
unidentified
She must be talking about, you know, all the new upcoming parts of Brooklyn.
libby emmons
Yeah, Greenpoint.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Where all the prepsters are, you know.
libby emmons
Yeah.
There's some of that going on in the area.
unidentified
Five million dollar brownstones, yeah.
In Staten Island we go to Boston Market, you know?
tim pool
I completely agree with that analogy.
That's true.
with the Super Chat. He says, I messaged years, years about, I
mean, years ago, about the left and the right were like the Horde and the Alliance. Congrats. Sylvanas is about to
burn down the World Tree and the Horde is going, yeah, but why
would she do that? I completely agree with that analogy.
That's true. Isn't it exactly like Sylvanas burning down the World
Tree?
libby emmons
I don't know what that is.
tim pool
Oh, man. All right. Well, where do we begin? So Sylvanas is, what is she? She's undead. Is she a lich? Basically, she's
a Yeah, she was the, I'm not gonna get into it.
libby emmons
Is it World of Warcraft?
tim pool
Yeah, Sylvanas is the Banshee Queen.
And she was, what was she?
Raised by the Lich King.
And so basically, she's condemned to hell for eternity.
And she burns down the the World Tree, which is, what is that?
Was that Darnassus?
libby emmons
Teldrassil.
tim pool
Teldrassil, right.
libby emmons
I'm looking it up right now.
tim pool
Yeah, is Darnassus the right name of the city in Teldrassil?
libby emmons
I don't have that information.
tim pool
Yeah, and then it's been a while, but she shatters the veil between realities and then conspires with the... I don't know.
You guys, I haven't played World of Warcraft since that Shadow whatever came out.
Legion was the last one I played, so I only know this tangentially.
unidentified
I haven't played World of Warcraft ever.
So, all the cards you're saying right now and names, my brother Todd would probably be thrilled.
tim pool
Well, they're not, they're characters and there's no cards.
unidentified
Oh.
hannah claire brimelow
It's like a video, it's a computer game, right?
tim pool
Yeah, it's an RPG, open world MMORPG.
So.
unidentified
I thought it started out years ago with the Warcraft with the cards and trading.
tim pool
No, no, no.
Warcraft was a overhead view strategic game, the first Warcraft.
Uh, where you build barracks and you have little, you have peasants and peons who go and cut down wood and mine for gold and then you build an army and you go to war with each other.
And then World of Warcraft, I think they did Warcraft 2, 3, a bunch of expansions.
World of Warcraft 06 became an open world where you played a single character RPG.
And then they made Hearthstone, it was like what, like, was it late 2000s?
And that was a digital card game.
Which was, it wasn't supposed to be around that long, I'm assuming it's still around.
Yeah.
Yeah, I played for a while back at, uh... Adrian Curry says, I still play, and I am not shamed.
But I don't know how you still play.
It was one thing when you started back in 06, and you got from one level 60, or I think it was level 40 was the first level cap or whatever, I don't remember.
But, uh, level 60, and you had a game to play, you had zones to go through, there were people of various levels, and you could interact with them, and some were too strong, and it was fun, because you're like, I'm a level 27 rogue, and I go into this area, and there's a 35 alliance, there's a horde, and he's gonna kill me, I'm a PvP server, oh, it's so much fun.
Then you get to endgame, and you're strong, and I would always love playing the rogue and going into Orgrimmar, because I'd play alliance.
And then I'd just mess with people, because I have like a super strong character, and they'd be like, alliance, and then they'd fight you.
And then the expansions came out, and it was like, okay, 10 more levels.
Now it's at the point where it's like, they had to race at the levels, Because the game's been around for too long.
They need to make a World of Warcraft 2, get rid of all the old stuff and say, we're starting fresh with a new game, and everyone starts over at the beginning.
So much bad stuff broke the game.
The economy is totally ruined because of the size of the universe.
Now it's just like, you can start the game off and instantly level up to the top to play with your friends.
So there's no economy anymore.
So now it's just like, there's no point.
I haven't played in a minute.
But at a low level, you can say, like, mine for ore, and then increase your mining ability, and then you have these secondary classes.
But now none of that matters.
Because you instantly level up to the top, instantly get access to a lot of money from the dungeons you go to, or the instances, then you go and buy the resources from someone else, and they're all ridiculously expensive, and you instantly level up, it's boring.
It's just massively boring.
And so I abandoned it.
unidentified
Pay to play, it sounds like.
tim pool
I mean, sort of, but not really.
It's just, there's nothing to do.
It used to be you started the game, you're level one, and you're like, oh man, my friends are going to help me, we're going to level up, and I'm going to go on these adventures, and now it's just like, I started the game, I press the button, I'm level 50, and now I'm bored.
unidentified
Do you have to pay to get to level 50?
tim pool
When you buy the game, you get an option to create a character to jump to a certain level so that you can play with your friends.
Because they were like, well, if someone's, you know, level, I don't even know what the max level is right now.
What is it, 70?
Let's see, what is this?
Adrian Curry says, no one in the room understands which makes this beautiful.
They released Classic, which was the vanilla OG.
That was fun.
unidentified
And then, you know, I don't know, it's just... My brother played World of Warcraft.
hannah claire brimelow
I was really into it.
I mean, it's just never something I was into, but maybe that's... The thing is, for computer games, I only ever got into, like, Sims and Sims 2.
But that's effectively a virtual dollhouse.
So I'm just very feminine, I guess.
tim pool
It was massively fun in 06.
Unquestionably insane how fun it was.
Massive communities, 40 person raids, exploring, and I loved glitch hopping and breaking into areas of the map that weren't yet released.
Just endless amounts of entertainment.
And then they were like, Uh, people are saying the level cap's 70 now.
So it used to be able to glitch hop, break into areas that weren't developed, and be in these weird, devoid landscapes.
And then they were just like, mmm, we don't want anyone doing that, and they got rid of that.
And I'm like, well that's lame.
You could find ways to glitch on top of places you couldn't get to, so you'd be standing above people and they couldn't get to you, and they're like, mmm, we're gonna get rid of that.
Then they introduced flying, and all of a sudden now you can just fly over anything, and it's like, grr.
unidentified
Boring!
The hero's journey, but... Boring.
You get the magic of flight.
tim pool
That really made it boring.
Alright, LeBlanc Steven says, Dionysus' cult is said to be the three ins- to be the inspiration for the Last Supper and a lot of the myth around Jesus' life.
They're insulting Christianity.
That's how I take it.
Okay, what have we here?
Casually, Trevor says, laser pointers are amazing.
They really are.
Isn't that crazy?
Cool stuff.
Vulture 1066 says feminists won.
No female or male sport, just sport.
That's right.
And then there's no women.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I wonder, you know, suffragettes or all these like early age feminists, if they would look at it today and be like, we tried so hard to give you guys a place in society and you just let yourself be destroyed.
You know, they wouldn't support this.
There's no way any actual feminist like old school age would look at this modern iteration of it and say like, yeah, that's what we meant.
Good job, guys.
unidentified
I did an event with Brandon Strzoka, you know Strzoka?
Did you guys have him on?
And I covered it for him and I wanted to cover the walk away movement, you know, they're trying to recruit Democrats to become Republicans and there were people there that were, you know, proudly gay and they're conservative and stuff.
But you know, this one woman was saying to me that, you know, The whole trans movement is kind of taking over all the work we did as, you know, gay people to get like equal treatment.
Now these trans people are coming in and they're basically destroying it because it's, it's the gay rights is now all about the trans and it's like they're bastardizing, you know, woman's rights, gay rights.
It's, it's like across the board.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah.
tim pool
All right.
David Doerr says, you got to make the Cherry Amerimocracy ice cream.
It could be the new Neapolitan ice cream, but make it red, white and blue instead of pink, white and brown.
It's actually a really good idea.
It could be cherry, vanilla, blue raspberry or blueberry.
And then you've got a red, white and blue Cherry Amerimocracy.
unidentified
I like that.
tim pool
Cherry Amerimocracy is what Joe Biden said during his speech the other day.
libby emmons
Cherry Amerimocracy?
tim pool
He was trying to say cherish American democracy.
libby emmons
Yeah, it was funny.
tim pool
He said Cherry Amerimocracy.
libby emmons
I like that.
tim pool
Cherry Amerimocracy.
hannah claire brimelow
What are you going to name your ice cream brand, Tim?
unidentified
What's the brand name?
Not Mr. Beast.
tim pool
I have no idea.
unidentified
How about Green Groundhog?
There you go.
libby emmons
Green Groundhog for ice cream?
tim pool
Yes, that's right.
unidentified
Not that.
libby emmons
Will it have that cricket protein in it?
unidentified
No, no cricket.
It will be cherry Amerimocracy.
Cherry Amerimocracy.
I like it, I think.
All right.
tim pool
Stephen Richmond says, Rumors have Trump currently considering the head of BlackRock for Treasury Secretary.
Those second term choices might not be much better.
Rumors.
Like I mentioned before, there were rumors he was going to pick Rubio as vice president, so I don't know how much weight any of these rumors actually have.
unidentified
He came out today and said that he's never considered Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink, so I think that's been debunked.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Jason Dixon says, I worked the police detail when Trump came to Houston.
The Secret Service controls everything.
We had five blocks locked down.
They are in full control.
Right.
It was reported that they don't even like any other law enforcement have guns because they need to be in full account of who's got a gun and where the shots may be coming from.
And if they have a guy, if they hear a gunshot and they don't got any people there, they want to know if there's other agencies they can't communicate with, they don't want to know where the shots are coming from.
But this one time in Butler, PA, Whoops.
Steel Toad says the freaking venue was the easiest venue in the country to secure, WTF.
An idiot on the street could have secured that venue.
Regular people were screaming, he's got a gun, and the Secret Service was like, what?
And they're like, that guy over there!
And they're like, who?
The guy on the roof with the gun!
unidentified
And they're like, whoa, who's got a gun?
tim pool
Oh, geez.
unidentified
It had to be on purpose.
45 minutes they had eyes on the guy.
hannah claire brimelow
It's crazy.
tim pool
Literally.
3 hours they spotted him, 3 hours before.
unidentified
But I'm saying that Cheadle said the other day that at least 45 minutes before the rally even started they had him as a suspicious person.
And a buddy of mine who just retired Secret Service out of Philly told me when they have somebody they think is suspicious, and sometimes it's just somebody who's a little wacky, they put a body man to that person.
hannah claire brimelow
This is what I kept asking, why was there not a plainclothes officer following them around?
unidentified
My buddy told me that when they think somebody is suspicious, not a threat, suspicious is one level down from threat, They put a body man to him and say, all right, listen, Junior, go follow that guy around for a few hours, you know, for the next hour, check it.
tim pool
And they don't really, if there's a threat, they don't release their, the person they're protecting from holding.
Damaging appointed, they have holdings on, they say, well, hold on, we got a threat.
And then Trump would be late.
And Trump's late all the time, likely for this reason.
But this time they were like, there's a threat, you're fine.
Or they claim they didn't know.
Someone who did logistics said, there's no threat, you're fine.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
They withheld that information.
Let's grab some more Super Chats.
What have we here?
Mark the Shark says, as someone from CT, I can attest to what Hannah said.
Born and raised in CT and now in the Marine Corps, had to leave that state to live a better life.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, Connecticut's an interesting state.
I mean, I grew up in a really beautiful area and I'm really grateful for the life that, you know, like my childhood and stuff there.
But, you know, most of the people I know moved away or moved somewhere else.
You know, there's not a lot of industry.
It's similar to West Virginia and Maine since it's got an aging population.
It's got really high taxes.
You know, it's sad that this is sort of what you have to watch happen to places that would otherwise be, you know, nice.
libby emmons
Nice places to raise a family.
tim pool
A lad who ate four dozen eggs says Kamala is the DEI Joker.
Agreed.
Gandalf the Beast says, Tim and team, I think?
I sit with Vivek on how we fight Harris.
We can't focus on DEI, we need policy.
We can't act like she's easy to beat.
I literally can't afford higher grocery bills.
I agree.
The people who are like, haha, we're going to win.
It's like, dude, shadow campaign.
Okay.
They're going to universal mail-in voting college students who are going to be like, I'm voting for who?
unidentified
What?
tim pool
And then the election results are going to come in, they're going to be like, look at this!
A blue wave of young voters won Kamala.
The Gen Z memes, like we said.
Remember during 2020, they said the red mirage.
They said on election night there's gonna be a red mirage, it's gonna look like Trump is winning, and then later on they're gonna count the mail-in votes and actually Biden will win.
Because they're telling you what they're going to do.
Right now they're saying Gen Z is all about Kamala.
You look at HAVV, Help America Vote Verification, where are these signups coming from?
Joe Biden signed an executive order, I think it was March 7, 2021.
saying the federal government is now going to register people to vote at the state level, and several states were like, hell no you're not!
But they're doing it everywhere.
So the registrations we're likely seeing are college students that are getting registered, whether they know it or not, they're going to get universal mail-in vote, a ballot harvester is going to collect that, and then come election day they're going to be like, remember when we said Gen Z was coming out in droves for Kamala Harris?
Look at the results!
unidentified
Wow!
tim pool
We told you this was going to happen!
And then Trump's going to be like, how did this happen?
I can't believe it.
We were looking at the illegal immigrants.
We were looking at the, what they were working on and somehow we still lost.
And it's going to be like, yeah, because dude, the Republicans are totally inept, completely incompetent.
I don't understand why we've brought up the HAVV, like story over and over and over again.
And the answer all the time is like, I don't know.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Members of Congress and AG, it's like, I have to look into it, I guess.
And it's like, man, this story broke four months ago and unless I just don't have it in them.
unidentified
Say love you.
tim pool
All right, John Clark says, where can I purchase the Step On Snek skateboard, like the one behind Miss Hannah Clare?
I would like one.
The Google machine can't find one.
Oh, they don't exist.
I think we did have some, and we gave them away at a special giveaway.
And we are currently now waiting for whatever reason.
I'm going to tell you, you know what makes me angrier than everything else in the universe?
Is that we have all these projects that are being held up by other people.
And I'm not the worst when that happened. All of it. So like our coffee shop permitting, it was supposed to be done
in June, it was supposed to be done in March, it was supposed to be done in December, November. And it's just
like every single step of the way of this something trying to just jam it up. The skateboards, for whatever reason, we've
been waiting months. I have no idea why. And it's just like the first orders we put in. Sorry, those are delayed.
You'll get them when you get them."
I'm like, what's happening?
Is the economy crumbling?
Maybe?
I guess it is.
And we have a new company that's pretty good.
And we're like, we'd like to get these boards ready to go.
And they're like, okay.
And then a month later, they're like, oh, sorry, we didn't get back to you.
unidentified
And I'm just like, dude, I'm so sick of all this stuff.
tim pool
But we plan to have these boards available on the Boonies website five months ago.
So, you know, there's that.
And then we can sell them.
And people will buy them.
hannah claire brimelow
That's crazy.
Is that how that works?
tim pool
Yeah, until then, we're just stuck waiting for all these other third party vendors.
And it's really annoying.
But we'll get there.
We'll get there.
We got some, you know, everybody's trying their hardest.
I'll take what I can get.
But we'll wrap it up there.
