Ladies and gentlemen, right now, we are going to be talking about the news that we have.
tim pool
And right now, it's very surprising, actually.
Hurricane Milton has been upgraded to a Category 5 with 175 mile an hour winds.
They are giving evacuation orders throughout Florida.
There's photos and videos circulating of people GTFOing from Florida because they're expecting
on the West Coast, 8 to 12 foot storm surges.
This is no joke.
I am not the expert on what you should or should not be doing.
I will only ask you to please consider what they are telling you right now.
This is apparently the biggest storm in 100 years, and it's going to just slam as a major hurricane category 5 right into Florida.
And so for my friends and friends of the show who are out there, you might have to come visit
and come on the show and stay safe. But in the meantime, while we are facing this imminent
disaster, we've got big news pertaining to the existing disaster in North Carolina and Georgia.
And that is over the weekend, which I got to be honest, as much as people don't like Kamala Harris,
it really is surprising to see that she tweeted out that the people of Lebanon are suffering.
And so that we're going to give them an additional $157 million, bringing the total to $385 million.
dollars and everybody collectively lost their their minds.
How could you be so callous?
I mean, right now, just don't say anything.
It had to be Kamala Harris desperately trying to avoid becoming president by tweeting out that she was going to give away hundreds of millions of dollars when, guess what?
The day before, FEMA announced $45 million would be going to the victims of Hurricane Helene, which is remarkable.
A little bit more than 10% of what Lebanon's gotten this year.
Can't say that I'm surprised. We'll talk about that.
Plus, she appeared on Call Her Daddy, which actually the Call Her Daddy podcast is getting a backlash over this.
Alex Cooper, the host, apparently has a lot of people watch her show who are mixed politics, and now she's pissed a lot of people off.
Elon Musk has this great interview with Tucker Carlson where he says that, hey, look...
The reason why a lot of billionaires are lining up behind Kamala Harris, it's because Trump's going to release the Epstein files.
And then he makes a joke about how much prison time do you think I'm going to get if Kamala wins?
So we'll talk about that, plus a lot of other news.
Marjorie Taylor Greene in the news because she says that, yes, they can control the weather and keeps it at that.
And the media then put the word they in quotes.
I can't believe they did that.
But before we get started, my friends, I got good news.
Head over to boonieshq.com because guess what?
Our skateboards are in stock.
I'll give you some numbers. The Boobies, which is a skateboard with a blue-footed booby on it, and those birds are hilarious if you don't know what they are, is selling like hotcakes.
Now, it can't beat Step on Snack and Find Out.
We've sold several hundred of these.
And I will say this.
Mr. Bocas Pro Model Skateboard has outsold me.
I am proud. I am proud.
Rest in peace, Mr. Bocas. So boonieshq.com.

And so much more is Rob Dew.
rob dew
Hey everybody, how's it going?
tim pool
Who are you? What do you do?
rob dew
What do I do? Well, I've done a lot of stuff.
Since 2009, I've been at InfoWars, and I've seen all the trials and tribulations going through that, and I've got a pretty good story to tell you about what's going on currently, because it does change day by day.
The Democratic Party is closing in on Alex Jones and the agents that I think are still overall pissed off that Hillary Clinton did not win.
And so they've taken this Sandy Hook We're good to go.
On top of what they're already doing with the bankruptcy.
And then in November, there's going to be two auctions where they're going to auction off the digital assets of Infowars and then the physical assets.
And those are part of the liquidation that was agreed to by both parties.
And so that could be a big turning point.
Somebody could come in and buy Infowars and keep it going.
Elon? Yeah, he's...
Has he joked about it or... Well, I think that was an account that wasn't a real account.
Yeah, a parody account that did it.
But the real thing is Alex is fighting battles on a lot of fronts.
And he's been around for a long time.
I used to listen to Alex Jones at a job I had at Tokyo Electron.
I was a video guy there. And I'd put on Alex Jones all day and just listen to him while I was editing and just had him in the background.
And with all the news and his perspective and the way he was able to draw...
Different events you would not think were related and somehow show you how...
tim pool
He predicted 9-11.
rob dew
Oh, yeah. I mean...
tim pool
I mean, that's not a joke.
And he actually has a video from like July of 2001 where he says they're going to target the World Trade Centers and blame Osama bin Laden.
Yes. You can find these videos. You can watch them.
And more famously, more recently, he predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine several months in advance.
rob dew
I asked him... He called it the end of February.
tim pool
Exactly. When it happened. And I asked him, how did he know?
And he was like, Tim, I... I just read the news.
I don't know. I just read an article and it said these things were going on.
rob dew
And I'm like, that's going to happen. Well, I think what happens is when he's in his zone, which is, you know, on the show, he's thinking about how and he's looking at all the articles and, you know, he's like that guy looking at all the red lines.
Yeah, looking at everything together. And he's like, OK, I could see it right now.
It's going to happen into February.
They're going in. They're going to march in.
And he called it. I mean, he called it.
tim pool
We'll see what happens in the next month or two or the next couple of months.
rob dew
We will. And, you know, people can help out.
And I appreciate you having me on to at least tell people how they can help.
And that's, you know, go to realalexjones.com where he's got his, you know, he's running a give-send-go for his legal defense.
Because if he's able to fight these battles, he can stay on the field.
And that's, I think, the main thing for him is staying on the field, fighting realalexjones.com.
And then, you know, I'm sporting one of these shirts from the Alex Jones store.
Alex Jones experiences. This is the Alex Jones experience, and you can check that out at thealexjonesstore.com.
And he's got lots of t-shirts, and these are separate companies.
They're not associated with him because he really can't own any assets.
That's where they're taking everything away from him.
Right on. And, you know, this is a guy—well, yeah.
tim pool
We'll get into it, I'm sure, and more in-depth with those updates, but it should be fun.
Thanks for hanging out. We've got Phil hanging out.
phil labonte
Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.
I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.
Hannah Clare, how are you?
hannah claire brimelow
It's so fun to have you back.
I missed you while you were on tour, and it's great to have you with us.
I sometimes hope the Elon Musk parody account is actually just Elon Musk's burner account, where he test-launches ideas and sees what people are going to say.
But yeah, I'm Hannah Clare Brimelow.
I'm on the show. I always think it's Adrian Dittman.
Oh, maybe. Let's get started.
tim pool
Here's the big story from over the weekend from Newsweek.
Kamala Harris' Lebanon relief under scrutiny as GOP stokes Helene backlash.
Look, I like Newsweek.
They do a lot of good stuff sometimes.
They're not as bad as a lot of the other corporate press outlets.
They've got some good people over there.
But this one is just...
Guys, GOP stokes Helene backlash.
Kamala Harris, on October 5th, for no reason, tweeted out, The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.
I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilian suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.
To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict.
This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over 385 million.
rob dew
Why? Who else could use food, water, and protection?
tim pool
Just first question, first question.
rob dew
Why tweet this? You want to rub it in people's faces.
tim pool
That's what it is. Was Kamala sitting there being like, I really don't want to be president.
I'm going to sabotage my own campaign right now.
phil labonte
Michael Malice knows why.
He said it on the Joe Rogan podcast.
hannah claire brimelow
She's a retard. It's one of the wildest tweets because she put this out while Donald Trump was speaking at the Butler rally.
His big return to Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
rob dew
This is her gotcha moment. On stage.
hannah claire brimelow
And to distract from whatever he's saying, she's like, I know what I'll say.
That will make people like me.
I don't really believe she writes her own tweets.
So whichever aide wrote this for her and was like, no, no, it's a great idea that we talk about this right now, clearly did not read the room when it comes to the American people.
tim pool
There is a secret MAGA mole working for Kamala's campaign and was like, I am going to put a stop to this and just tweeted this out because, look, There's a lot of money the U.S. gives to a lot of people.
And we're pissed off about most of it.
But you don't tweet about it.
And so here she is in one of the most critical moments where people in North Carolina and Georgia are suffering and dying.
And she's like, by the way, $400 million went to...
phil labonte
Lebanon. What are the chances it was like one of the tweets where you schedule for later?
Someone scheduled it and they forgot to take it off.
They're just like, oh, you know, this will blah, blah, blah.
That's actually a really good point.
I'm not saying that it was, but it could be.
tim pool
But I gotta tell you, there's another component to this, in that it was scheduled two days before October 7th.
Basically saying the people of Lebanon are facing a dire humanitarian situation.
And it's like, that's true, they are.
but there is a war going on and for all the people who are divided on the issue of Israel,
she's just basically fanning the flames of those tensions.
Because I assure you, the pro-Israel people are like, why would she post this two
days before the anniversary?
phil labonte
Americans are still held hostage. There are still Americans being held by Amnesty.
tim pool
In this war, right?
phil labonte
Yeah, still today. So I mean, the fact that she's, and again, I totally agree with you,
the people of Lebanon, they're suffering because of Hezbollah, because of Iran. But I mean...
tim pool
But it's a war between... Look, all this is going to do is piss off the pro-Israel people who are
being like, why are you giving money to the people we are at war with?
And fine, by all means, humanitarian assistance we get, but two days before October 7th?
I'm not saying it's the biggest point here, but it's just like if you could ever craft a tweet and time it perfectly to sabotage your campaign, that would be – is the October surprise Kamala Harris just basically tries resigning?
hannah claire brimelow
I think that she is surprised she is in the position she, you know, she is surprised to find herself the presidential candidate.
She's never been able to effectively message on the Israel, the Middle East conflict at all.
I mean, they're and part of it is because Democratic, especially progressive voters are more divided on it than, you know, their counterparts may be on the right.
She, I don't think, thinks anything through.
Like I said, I don't think she runs her own Twitter account.
So someone else wrote this out.
She doesn't take questions from the media.
We're not even sure she knows it was posted.
And again, I think it speaks to the fact that this is a very detached campaign.
Fox News had this report over the weekend that since the Harris-Walls tickers form, so after Walls was named as the VP, they did something like 25 interviews, right?
And they're starting to ramp that up now. During the same period of time, Trump advanced at 63.
So we have one campaign that is really trying to get their messaging to the people, that's really trying to talk about the issues.
We have another one that's sort of trying to coast on vibes and, hey, look, we're not Joe Biden, so feel the relief.
It's not enough. They're not going to convert voters this way.
rob dew
Well, and you don't have a message. When you saw just the clip from 60 Minutes, you saw what she said.
She's just word salad after word salad.
Here's my economic plan is to tax people and the billionaires aren't paying enough, which means everybody's going to pay.
tim pool
That clip was brutal.
It was. He's like, yeah, we live in the real world.
rob dew
The lighting looks bad on her too.
It's like they screwed up the lighting.
They screwed up everything on her like they did with that other interview with Dana Bash.
tim pool
I hope the deep state is actually, it's a double conspiracy and they want Trump to win because I accept that.
Like, please, we cannot have Kamala Harris.
There's a – it might be dark days.
The double conspiracy is that Trump is actually a part of the deep state and the deep state is pretending that he's under fire so that people like Alex Jones and anti-government people flock to Trump but then actually end up waving American flags.
I'm just like I hope.
I hope that's really what's going on because we cannot have four years of Kamala Harris.
rob dew
Well, can he do, if he does half of what he says he's going to do, which he won't do, he'll probably get a quarter done of what he wants to do, it's still going to be better than what we're at now, which is digging ourselves in a rut and just leaving people out to dry.
Like, the response to that hurricane is just savage, what they're doing to these people.
phil labonte
Even if he gets none of what he wants to do done, I'm serious, even if he gets none of what he wants to do none and just prevents Democrat policies from being implemented, that's a win.
tim pool
I gotta one-up ya. If Trump ends up doing nine out of the ten things that Kamala was going to do, it's still a win.
It's so bad.
The current administration opened borders.
The wars are escalating dramatically.
Wages adjusted for inflation are way down.
People can't afford to buy groceries.
If Trump was like, I'm going to leave everything as it is, but de-escalate wars.
It's like, well, I guess we're better off.
phil labonte
I mean, it's not hard to be better.
rob dew
But you know he's going to drill. You know we're going to get cheaper gas at the end of this.
And cheaper gas means everything else is cheaper.
phil labonte
Exactly. That alone is reason enough.
rob dew
But big oil is what runs the world at this point.
phil labonte
The arguments from the left, particularly the people that are against oil...
They're the arguments of children.
They're not serious.
They're not adults. They don't think about the things they're talking about.
Everything that we use is made with oil.
So I'm all for Teslas.
I'm getting a Tesla next year, I think.
I love the S. Tim has sold me on them.
They're great cars. I bag them.
tim pool
They're commuter cars. They're great local cars.
We drive them to D.C. and back with no issues an hour drive or so.
When we took Cybertruck up to Butler, we only needed to charge one time between here and Pittsburgh.
We stopped twice just because we wanted to.
We were like, we might as well just, you know, top it off.
And then, uh, we got to, uh, from Pittsburgh, uh, Fully charged to Butler.
We are at 88%. And then we powered the War Room podcast.
They plugged into Cybertruck, ran the show, and they had a Starlink on top for their backup internet.
And then once the show was done, and we couldn't keep the Cybertruck there because you're not in all those cars, we ended up leaving.
And, I don't know, it was 80%.
I mean, it was absolutely fantastic.
I wouldn't recommend hauling...
serious stuff across the country with the Cybertruck, but for local back-and-forth stuff, it's super easy.
Did you ever see that video where the guy is yelling at the environmental protesters?
And he's like, everything you're wearing is made of oil.
Your coats are made from oil. Like, what do you... get rid of them!
phil labonte
I mean, we've said this on the show before, but if you were to stop using petroleum products,
like two-thirds of the population of Earth dies.
Because all of the – there's all this – all the chemicals that they – or not the chemicals, but the fertilizers that they use to grow food, they're all petroleum-based.
So it's a ridiculous idea to say, oh, we need to get rid of oil and stuff.
hannah claire brimelow
No, no, no, no.
You know, the U.S. and Europe, you should probably ban your plastic straws and that will fix it.
rob dew
Meanwhile, India and China and Shangri-La.
hannah claire brimelow
Right, right. I mean, let's not forget J.D. Vance in the debate saying if you were serious about the environment, you would move all manufacturing back to the U.S. where we have the cleanest economy.
I mean, this is one of the criticisms with NAFTA, right?
That there were all sorts of environmental emissions regulations, but Mexico never followed them and no one ever enforced it.
And so therefore, it's just this thing that we do as a weird virtue signal and to give government more things to regulate.
phil labonte
People forget that the most beneficial solutions are usually pro-America solutions.
America first solutions. I just got it.
tim pool
Did you say Shangri-La? Shangri-La, yeah.
I love that because for those that don't know, Shangri-La is an earthly paradise.
And so I'm like, well, they maintain their earthly paradise by dumping all their garbage into the ocean.
It's a fictional place in Tibet.
And they're just dumping all their garbage so they can keep it clean.
rob dew
You go down the river. That's right.
Have you seen some of these videos that will just show this rolling mound of plastic just going through a canal, and you're like, wow, that's what the uncivilized world is doing.
And it's because they haven't set up systems to do that.
Maybe we could do that instead of killing people.
tim pool
But the crazy thing, too, is...
Look, humans build cities on rivers because they're water sources.
And our rivers are dirty.
I mean, name a city where you'd go into a downtown river and enjoy a swim.
rob dew
No, you can in parts of Austin where the spring, the natural spring pops up and then flows into the river, which you don't go swimming in.
But that's only one little part.
tim pool
It's messy, but... So let me show you this real quick before we wrap up on this first part.
This is FEMA. On October 4th said $45 million would go to the Hurricane Helene survivors.
Continuing to address critical needs.
$45 million. Now, I'm hearing all these excuses from Democrats where they're like, well, that's what was allocated.
It's just 157 was allocated to Lebanon.
And I'm like, yeah, we're mad about it.
What don't you get? Well, it's Republicans in Congress, and it's the Democrats in Congress, too.
Democrats have the Senate. They could propose bills and send them to the House.
House could do the same thing.
Why, for the love of all this holy, why aren't Republicans just having an emergency session or the Speaker getting together and making a press conference saying, we need to get Congress back in here to allocate more funds?
Republicans can put it on Democrats, or Democrats can do the same thing and put it on Republicans.
phil labonte
I think I said this the other day, but the very day, the very first day that the hurricane hit, the president, well, the president and Kamala Harris, because they're one and the same, and the president is not with us, and the Speaker of the House, and the majority leader of the Senate, should have been calling for all of Congress to come back to make sure that there was funding.
Mm-hmm. They should—they were just on—they were on whatever they call it, leave or whatever.
Bring them back and make them do their job for the American people.
rob dew
Well, their solution seems to be—because Mike Johnson said, we need to give more money to FEMA. Is that going to really help?
Do we really want bean counters going in there and trying to help people?
Or do we give it to the states?
phil labonte
To be honest with you, it's better than doing nothing.
rob dew
Sure, but I think you give this money to the states and let them figure it out because they know how to fix their system.
phil labonte
But isn't North Carolina doing a crap job of it, if I understand correctly?
And I'm talking about the North Carolina government.
hannah claire brimelow
The thing is, we should have gone to Lebanon is the thing.
Lebanon's getting $157 million.
North Carolina, Florida, Georgia should at least get double that.
rob dew
At least. I mean, at least have people going in there.
When Hurricane Rita hit, 2007, it hit southwest Louisiana where my parents live.
And within two days, the National Guard had gone through and cut, because 30% of the trees fell down in this area, went and cut all the roads out.
They had everything bulldozed to the side so people could get through in two days.
And, you know, they're saying they can't do that, and we're two weeks into this?
phil labonte
Again, I mentioned this just the other night.
Look, during the Berlin airlift, they had an airplane landing in Berlin every 30 seconds.
In the 40s. In the 40s.
So don't tell me that we can't take care of the people that are suffering in North Carolina.
tim pool
Okay, hold on, Phil. We can take care of the people that are suffering.
Just not North Carolina. We've got this story from the post-millennial Biden-Harris admin brags about keeping Ukraine's power on as Americans face outages.
I'd like to just offer up a free public relations lesson for us.
It's a freebie. Just a freebie.
I mean, I could consult on this.
My rate would be very high. But Biden-Harris and the White House...
taxpayer money to foreign countries when Americans are dying due to a lack of resources following
natural disasters and with an impending Category 5 about to slam into Florida.
Because I gotta tell you, you might actually improve your favorability ratings if you heed
We got this quote.
Let me read a little bit.
Samantha Power.
How Americans are helping Ukraine keep the lights and heat on despite Putin's attacks.
There's a quote up there, and it says, I'm here in an energy substation in the western region of Ukraine.
This substation provides enough power for around 500,000 residents of the area.
I believe there's about a quarter million people who still need electricity in North Carolina.
So you mean to tell me you're giving...
Double the resources that we need for our own people in this country to Ukraine.
rob dew
Well, thank you. It's all about rubbing it in our faces and saying Americans are worthless unless we accept the entire world into our home.
Bosom. That's it. Accept them.
hannah claire brimelow
I just think people are tired of the Americans come second mentality, right?
This idea that we have to put Lebanon and Ukraine and everybody else first.
You know, it was one thing when most of the country or a huge portion of the country wasn't in the middle of having to deal with a natural disaster.
People were like, oh, we feel a moral obligation.
But right now, people's neighbors, relatives, friends are suffering and the federal government's priority is outside the country.
rob dew
Absolutely. Even before, with these illegals going in, and they're bringing them to different cities and just putting them into hotels and treating them better than the citizens who are homeless sitting outside.
And people see this, and then this hurricane response is just another cherry on top for people.
They're just rubbing your face in it.
tim pool
I love it. I love how – so we have this story, and it goes viral last week.
It's FEMA spent $650 million on illegal alien resettlement in this country, and the Democrats immediately with their smug faces go, gotcha.
That money wasn't from FEMA. It was only allocated by FEMA. And it's just like, I don't think the substance of our complaints is any different.
The federal government as an entire institution is either giving money to non-citizens or sending it overseas.
I don't care which pool of money it came from.
They say it was CBP, a lot of fundings for resettlement.
Why are we giving CBP half a billion dollars for his settlement and FEMA not having more?
And why can't we get anyone in government to, I don't know, do something?
Biden could come out right now and do a press conference and say, it's time to act.
We need emergency action right now.
And so we will be taking funds from A, B, or C to help these people.
rob dew
And it brings a favorability rating up from the basement.
tim pool
It would. But you know what?
Here's my conspiracy theory.
Harris is trying to lose.
She wants to lose, and the media is just pretending like the media wants her to win, but the Democrats want her to win.
And her and Biden are like, we are done.
We are out. Because I cannot believe any sane person running for president would do the things they're doing right now.
hannah claire brimelow
Unless they're really out of touch, right?
I mean, this is what I have always wondered about the staff supporting Kamala Harris.
If you are the most progressive candidate, you know, you get selected, you're the most progressive Democrat that was running, now you're the most progressive VP that's been there, and you select staffers who are also therefore supportive of your ideals, who...
have any kind of empathy for the average American, let alone conservative Americans, you must
look at the world and say everything they're talking about is ridiculous.
My priorities are the only ones that matter.
There's no ability to relate to anyone else.
So they cannot script her in a way that makes her relatable to an independent or moderate
voter.
They don't know what those people want and they don't really care.
rob dew
That's true.
They're speaking to their base.
And, you know, 30 percent of the people I think are their base.
tim pool
No problem. I think it might be scarier than all this.
It may be them saying, we can literally do anything we want because we control your elections.
rob dew
That's what I'm afraid of. And we control your media, who will tell you what the election results are, whether you like it or not.
phil labonte
There are enough people that are normies that are not politically engaged...
That still vote because they believe it's their sacred right to vote even though they intentionally remain ignorant about policy and world events.
But there are enough people that they can just put MSNBC and NBC and CBS, put the narrative out to those major news networks and they will be able to influence enough people to win the vote.
We know that it's down to, you know, maybe...
A quarter million people in a handful of states are going to decide the actual election.
Everybody else is basically, you know, has already made their decision.
They've already, you know, there's not going to be a significant event that's going to change people's minds, or at least it's unlikely.
Maybe Florida. I mean, I don't even know about that.
But I mean, I would, I would, I hope that what is going on in North Carolina would, but I don't feel confident in that because I really, man, there was, I thought that the Trump assassination attempt would, and I was literally blown away when I saw how many people are like, oh no, Trump staged that.
Like, a dude died, man!
Like, a dude died, and two other dudes got shot, and they're just like, no, he staged it.
That was a fake thing.
There was no gun, there was no shooter.
Like, you could see his body on the roof the same day, and they're like, no, it was all staged.
So I'm not convinced that there are...
There's a significant number of people that put a lot of thought into it.
I said last Friday, I think most people vote with emotions.
Even people that think that they don't vote with emotions, I think they mostly do.
And this is why I've lost the knee-jerk support of democracy.
Not that there's anything better.
It's just that you can't guarantee, democracy is no guarantee for a good outcome.
It's just a guarantee that there's a majority outcome, and if the majority is selecting
the outcome, you have a smaller chance of the people freaking out and rioting.
tim pool
Democracy is no good.
Democratic institutions, I would say a constitutional republic with democratic electoral processes
seem to function well, but we have a rather complicated system of governance.
Three branches, checks and balances.
We've got state-level governance, federal-level governance.
rob dew
It's made not to move fast.
It's made to be slow and methodical, and so things get planned out right.
But they don't, obviously.
So people have taken that model, and it's been turned, I think, on its head of what it should be.
This representational form of government.
It used to be you had to be a landowner to vote.
That makes sense. Yeah, you have skin in the game.
You have skin in the game. And if you are just being a wage slave, working and living in an apartment, do you have as much invested in what's going on around you as a guy who owns three farms and who's feeding 1,300 people in his community?
You don't. And so should his vote count more?
tim pool
I don't know. Back in the day, it made sense when we were talking about a community voting on what matters to them.
So it's like, do you live here was the question.
Once we get into the time of rentals, then I think it makes sense to say, no, just not landowners.
The idea of some kind of restriction to make sure that people are voting who have skin in the game makes a lot of sense.
Right now, the problem we have is you can move to an area...
Heck, you can probably apply for a mail-in vote in a place you don't even live.
This is the crazy thing that there are people who live somewhere and move and they still get a mail-in ballot.
There are people who have gotten mail-in ballots to other states for a different state.
And there are people who, as Andrew Yang said, I'm going to move to Georgia so I can influence the election, then leave.
And it's like, what? What is the point?
Is that democracy? I'm going to show up.
I don't live here, but I get to vote in how you live your life and then leave.
rob dew
There's no rule saying I can't do it, so I'm going to do it, even though it doesn't seem right.
Why would you act like that?
tim pool
If democracy was honored, if it was among honorable and noble men, and I mean men in
the grand sense of humanity, so this is like if women and men of good honor were going
to have a vote on things, then I think it could work, where you basically have everyone
gets together and they say, let's all discuss things calmly and rationally.
The only problem is humans are a calm and rational entity.
There are a lot of people who are just downright stupid and angry, and then that gets thrown
into the mix, and then you get too much of that, you get chaos.
So there has to be some degree, some restriction on how we vote, and I think it should be simple.
We take one little old hurdle, just one.
We put it right in front and say, do you really want to vote?
We're going to make it a little difficult, but not really that difficult.
And then guess what happens? Most people say, nah, I don't want to jump over that hurdle.
rob dew
It takes too much effort.
tim pool
Too much effort. And if it takes too much effort for you to consider getting an ID, for instance, then maybe you shouldn't vote.
phil labonte
Most people are familiar with the man on the street stuff that Jimmy Kimmel has done, right?
That's your average voter.
The people that don't know the difference between a continent and a country.
I don't believe that. You don't think so?
tim pool
Nah, it's all edited to make people look really dumb.
phil labonte
You know, I think when you ask people questions about politics and when you ask them questions about current events, average people that are generally intelligent, they will fall to that level.
tim pool
I tried doing some Man on the Street stuff when I was working for Fusion and found that it was completely a waste of time.
Because unless you're there all day intending on finding stupid people to fabricate your narrative, the average person is of average intelligence as you'd expect.
Meaning, if you say something like, what's a country?
What's a continent? If you got someone who didn't know, they'd be like, oh man, you know, honestly, it's been a long time since I've dealt with this stuff.
I work in accounting, so I don't really go over geography.
I sound like an idiot. I'm sorry.
And then you're like, well, I can't use that.
You need someone to sound like a moron.
hannah claire brimelow
Confidently sound like a moron.
rob dew
Exactly, exactly. You need a one-liner blip that you can throw.
tim pool
A lot of these men in the street stuff, they do target people who they think are going to be stupid.
I'll put it this way. The average person is average.
The average person watching a video needs to feel like they're a smart person, not an average person.
So they target the back end of the bell curve and then show that to average people so they feel like they're smart.
phil labonte
Fair enough, but I think that we all can agree that most people are disengaged.
We all know that the portion of the population that shows like this and shows like stuff that the Daily Wire produces, they're targeting a very narrow section of the population that are politically engaged.
You're talking about 5% on the high end.
Maybe 10, right?
Maybe. And you're trying to get...
You know, 50 to 60 percent of the population to vote is like a 50 percent vote to vote to turn out is really, really good.
hannah claire brimelow
I mean, we see this with midterm elections, right?
Yeah, exactly. The turnout is always lower.
People are more engaged during national elections.
phil labonte
Maybe you have to vote in midterms.
Sorry to cut you off. Maybe you have to vote in midterms to be allowed to vote in the presidential election.
hannah claire brimelow
You have to consistently participate.
rob dew
Bouncer blank. You have to have a punch card.
phil labonte
Yeah, there you go. Bouncer blank.
There you go. Anybody can vote.
tim pool
Everybody vote. No IDs required with bouncer blank.
phil labonte
You have to know who you're voting for.
hannah claire brimelow
Probably John Smith is running in so many races.
tim pool
And for which position, too.
And you've got to spell their name right. Oh, easy, Tigers.
phil labonte
Spell their name right. Come on, man.
tim pool
So we got this from the Daily Beast.
Call Her Daddy faces backlash over propaganda Harris interview.
Some fans of the hugely popular podcast are angry that the vice president did not address the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene.
Interesting. Well, how many of you are, are you guys familiar with the Call Her Daddy podcast?
hannah claire brimelow
Tim looks directly at me.
tim pool
Yeah. Well, you were looking at me.
I don't know. And they're like, it's funny because people are saying Donald Trump declined to go on the show.
And I'm like, gee, why would Donald Trump decline to go on a women's sex podcast?
Could you imagine if I was like, hey, Donald Trump, I got a skateboard podcast.
Do you want to come on and talk about skateboarding and Magic the Gathering?
He'd be like, no. I'd be like, what?
rob dew
How dare you? Well, you know, he can maybe help you sell even more of those.
That would be the one thing I think he could add to the ink.
tim pool
I'm actually surprised Trump said no because he's like, I'll go on anything.
But, you know, we were just talking about this in the other segment about how most people are disengaged.
And so I ask you, good sir Phil, you were saying that we're trying to get people engaged.
Call Her Daddy and the podcast with Kamala is what happens when you try to get people who don't know or care what's going on engaged.
They say really dumb things and then vote for really bad stuff.
phil labonte
Yes, yes, I agree totally.
And I don't know that I think we should be trying to get people engaged.
I think we should be trying to convince people that are not engaged that they shouldn't vote.
unidentified
You're like the opposite of a voter turnout campaign.
phil labonte
Look, man, Rock the Vote was the dumbest thing that ever happened on MTV, and they came up with, like, reality television.
rob dew
They got Clinton elected, though.
tim pool
They did! Let me show you guys a clip from her podcast, and you can understand why there's a backlash.
unidentified
Let it begin. I want to pose this question more to you and the Daddy Gang, but one of the biggest conversations in this year's election revolves around a woman's body.
Mm-hmm. Yep. I want to take a moment, and can we try to think of any law that gives the government the power to make a decision about a man's body?
tim pool
The Selective Service Act.
Anyway, continue, Alex Cooper.
unidentified
No. No.
Is there any law?
No. No.
No. No.
tim pool
Zuby had a really great thread where he said that – and shout out to Zuby, you guys should
follow him – he said that men – I'll paraphrase.
Men are told the truth all the time.
No one has any sympathy for men.
They don't care.
If a guy is overweight and ugly, they're going to say, you're short, overweight,
and ugly.
We don't care about you.
But women get lied to all the time by women and men, men who are trying to hook up and
women who are trying to push them out of competition or just avoid conflict.
So you end up with stuff like this.
Alex Cooper hosts a show where she discusses like general interest topic stuff for women,
dating, sex, sexuality.
Those are her words. She interviews the vice president and current Democratic candidate for the election coming up in less than a month.
unidentified
And she never Google searched this!
tim pool
And so she's got millions of listeners and millions of followers and she may as well be drooling into the microphone.
Okay, I'm sorry. Okay, voting should not be easy.
Voting should not be hard, but it should not be easy.
I think ballots should be blank.
That's it. You can go vote.
You don't need an ID. Paper ballots and they're blank.
You get a blank sheet of paper and it says, write down the candidate, write the position they're running for, and that's your vote.
And guess what? Every single one of Alex Cooper's listeners would go to the voting booth, look at the piece of paper, and go, I got no idea what's going on.
rob dew
I can't pass this test.
hannah claire brimelow
I'm out. I think this is an embarrassing moment, but beyond the fact that she couldn't think of the draft as something that would affect men exclusively, I think it's embarrassing that these are two women who are being sold to American girls as girl bosses, right?
Alex Cooper sold her show to Spotify for something like $250 million.
And... She is reading scripted questions that were provided by Kamala Harris' campaign about abortion as if there were no other issues that impact women, right?
She's a businesswoman.
She's worth $250 million at least.
Is she going to ask about capital gains tax?
Is she going to ask about illegal immigration?
No. They keep women siloed to this one issue and it's, I think, to keep them kind of compliant and stupid.
tim pool
As a podcast nerd myself, having run a podcast business, her deal was over several years.
And the trick is, my friends, I'll let you in on some inside baseball.
When you hear that someone scored this big contract, it's a $10 million contract, what they're not telling you is how much of that was compensation.
Because the tricks they do is they'll say, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to pay you $2 million a year, so you'll get over three years, $6 million cash.
We'll put $50 million per year into advertising, Spotify, with you as a feature in it, which is a $150 million value.
Thus, you have a $156 million contract.
And then we're going to announce it to everybody.
It makes you sound really famous and popular, and the marketing will be good for you, and you'll be in Times Square.
And they go, deal. But we don't know how much money she actually got out of that deal.
hannah claire brimelow
brand. First she got this whole deal with, it was Barstool first, then to Spotify. I think it was on
Sirius at one point. She's also built her platform as an influencer. So she makes however much money
tim pool
Oh right.
hannah claire brimelow
of every brand deal. I mean, there is no doubt that this is a multi-millionaire. And the only
thing that she could come up to, or at least be told by the Harris campaign that women are
interested in, is what, abortion and being mad at men?
tim pool
Doesn't that seem like it's a disservice to Her deal was $125 million over three years.
So about $40 some odd million per year.
How much of that is stock?
How much of that is marketing guarantees?
How much of that is in some way deferred?
How much is direct compensation?
How much of that is staffing?
You know, these deals sound like they're making tons of money, but you are right.
Her Instagram is $3 million.
She's selling that. She's probably making, let me just do some quick math, what, $20 million, $30 million a year cash?
Nah, I think she's probably doing more than $30 million.
She might be doing $50 million a year.
I don't know how much of that is going to go into her production costs and everything, but I'd imagine probably $50 million a year sounds about right.
hannah claire brimelow
Right, plus the merch, plus the tour.
That's all of it. And her wedding was featured in Vogue.
I mean, there are tons of ways this person is making money that are not accessible to, you know...
The average political podcaster or something else, which is totally fine.
Like, she built an empire. I, again, I just go back to the fact that, you know, normally, and I don't watch her show, but I have seen clips.
She's on, like, a couch and wearing full sweatpants.
And for Kamala Harris, she has heels on, is in some sort of stiffer chair, and is taking questions that Kamala Harris has pre-agreed to answer.
To me, it's like she's not even sticking by the values that seem to build up her empire.
tim pool
Hold on, hold on. Alex Cooper said they were not pre-scripted and nothing was off-limits.
hannah claire brimelow
I don't believe her at all.
tim pool
Do you believe that? You've played Magic before, right? Have you kept up with Magic the Gathering?
Is there anything I should know?
What's the most valuable card right now?
All she knows, Alex Cooper, is that she wants to get an abortion.
So they knew going in, they didn't give her any preset questions.
She's going to ask about abortion and some other garbled nonsense because she doesn't fact check anything.
And it's not her job to. She's a sex gossiper, you know, like sex and commentary and gossip.
And I'm not trying to say that disparagingly.
I'm saying she's the best at what she does, but that's her space.
I mean, I'm not going to go...
I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow
I don't know.
I think I read this quote from one of the interview where she says, I just couldn't imagine an election where women's rights were a major talking point and I wasn't involved.
If you are the savior of women, why did you do such a bad job?
tim pool
Abortion is the fifth.
Fifth issue. I gotta say.
rob dew
Groceries. Groceries is number one.
tim pool
Number one. Number one. Immigration and wages.
Like, economic factors dominate.
Abortion is like...
What is it? What is it? Like, six percent or some ridiculously small number?
phil labonte
The only reason... Excuse me.
The only reason abortion does...
They continue to talk about abortion is because it's a fear tactic.
They're trying to scare women that are generally thinking, what if I might need an abortion?
That's why it goes for even women that are married or women that are in committed relationships that wouldn't have an abortion.
They still use it to convince them because the situation is, well, what if you needed one?
rob dew
What if you got But they never fix that problem.
They never go, we're going to make it legal or illegal.
It's always, well, we'll just kind of keep it up in the air so we can use it as an election issue.
We can bring more people to the polls and go, oh, they're going to take away your rights to go.
hannah claire brimelow
And it's not abortion anymore.
It's women's rights, which they then tag on.
Women's health care. Right after Roe was repealed or overturned, it was, well, it's not just abortion.
It's the birth control pill. Oh, well, it's not just the birth control pill.
It's fertility treatments. I mean, it became this ever-expansive issue, which is very fear-based.
Like, what if you need these things?
What are you going to do if they... Maybe take them away in the future.
But again, if this is the big women's podcast of our generation, I get that maybe you would devote a little bit of time to this, but why did you miss all the other major issues?
What about all the women who are listening to you who are like, wow, Alex, you're an amazing businesswoman.
I want to do that too one day.
Why wouldn't you ask about the economy?
Why wouldn't you ask about housing?
rob dew
That's one thing Kamala knows about is her small business plan.
You think they would have talked about that?
hannah claire brimelow
Yes, her opportunity economy.
unidentified
Yeah, ridiculous. Pop quiz hot shots.
tim pool
Call Her Daddy released a segment from the Kamala Harris interview on her show on YouTube.
How many views did she get in 24 hours on her mega Kamala Harris interview?
unidentified
On YouTube? Yeah, on YouTube.
tim pool
You said 6 million? What do you say, Phil?
phil labonte
You're not cheating, are you? No, no, no.
tim pool
Looking up Call Her Daddy podcast?
phil labonte
I have not. Click and subscribe?
I'm going to go with 10. 10 views?
10 million. 10 million.
hannah claire brimelow
Are you guys joking? I feel like I'll give it like 100,000 maybe.
tim pool
260,000.
rob dew
Wow. I totally over blew that one.
Yeah. Wow.
But that says a lot. That's actually a good sign.
tim pool
So here's the Call Her Daddy podcast, which, look, you know, I gotta say this is really interesting.
rob dew
That's not the whole interview, that's the clip.
tim pool
Is that overall? The whole interview is Not up.
phil labonte
Not over all the platforms?
tim pool
No, no, no. On YouTube, a segment was released from the Kamala Harris interview.
It's eight minutes long.
It got 260,000 views, but it's titled Vice President Kamala Harris on her channel.
It's not the full thing.
They put up a clip. It's really fascinating to me when I see this.
I do believe that...
I think the podcast industry, like most industries, is fake and manipulation of stupid people by anyone who's willing to actually play that game.
So Call Her Daddy has 981,000 subscribers.
That's actually considered not a big channel on YouTube.
And look, we have 2 million here on Timcast IRL. We're considered a medium to large.
I'm not kidding. In the industry, when people are talking, it's like, oh, you're like a medium to large size.
The larger podcasts have 7, 8 million or more, 10 million on YouTube.
I'm not talking specifically about podcasts.
But to do an interview with Kamala Harris and only get $260K in a day, that is shocking.
That's actually really surprising.
unidentified
That's why I asked you guys— Did they post this on X? I don't know.
tim pool
I don't know. I'm just saying for YouTube because I know YouTube numbers.
rob dew
Right. Well, X, I think it would be more inflated.
I think I was thinking that would be an X number, would be $6 million.
phil labonte
I assume that it would have gotten a lot of shares on your mainstream media news.
tim pool
I'm sure it did. And audio side is interesting.
So I'll tell you what's really fascinating about the media industry while we're here, because I'm such a nerd on this stuff.
We research it every day. We live it every single day running a podcast.
What are the numbers, the ratings for top shows?
Now, historically, television shows, cable shows, news shows have always released their ratings, telling you here's how many people we believe watch.
On YouTube, on Instagram, on X, every single one of these platforms, they all tell you what the ratings are.
It is forward-facing.
Podcasts are the only systems, for whatever reason, that obfuscate their true ratings.
rob dew
You know why? Because they count subscribers as automatic listeners.
That's one thing. So if you subscribe to a podcast, they're like, well, they already listened to it.
They subscribed to it because it went to their folders, and we call that a view.
tim pool
It's very weird how the podcast industry works in that you can look at Apple Podcasts right now.
And I'm going to give you guys some deep lore right here.
iTunes was the biggest in the game for a long time.
Okay. Currently, YouTube has taken over as the number one podcasting platform, which is nuts.
It's kind of crazy. Spotify has just skyrocketed second place, and iTunes has collapsed down to third place of the big three places to consume podcasts.
iTunes is actually way down, which is interesting because Apple Podcasts...
rob dew
They kind of folded into music, too, didn't they?
phil labonte
That's probably part of the problem.
tim pool
I think that's part of the thing. Well, I can tell you, most people who watch our show on the audio side are listening on Apple Podcasts.
So that's why I say, you know, if you're listening on Apple Podcasts, leave us a good review
because we never ask and we should.
But the fascinating thing is I think the numbers are way worse than people realize.
And I think people are making assumptions about how big these shows are.
What I can tell you is I don't know where we're at now, but six or so years ago, the
number one podcast was Joe Rogan.
And on the audio side, I could be totally wrong.
I don't know anything about Joe.
I believe it was on a million downloads per episode.
And then the second and third were like 500, 300.
And then it dropped significantly from there.
It's an exponential gain.
The top podcast got overwhelmingly the most.
And then you go down.
I can tell you this.
There was a point where the Tim Pool Morning Show was the 34th biggest podcast in the world.
And that was when I did a show every day, no days off.
And before Timcast IRL existed.
How many views do you think we got per episode as the 30 as the peak position number 34 in
rob dew
What year? What year are you...
unidentified
This is four...
tim pool
I'll say five years ago.
Five years ago. Five years ago.
And this is when Apple was, you know, really, really big.
And Tim Pool Morning Show, which for those that don't know, it's my morning monologuing show.
rob dew
Yeah, covering news and...
tim pool
Right. So number 34 in the world.
What do you guys think per episode? 220.
220? No guesses?
I don't know. 75,000.
Wow. 75,000 views on a two-hour show, and we were ranked number 34.
And I know, because I worked with other networks, and when we did ad stuff, that some of the top five were getting a couple hundred thousand.
Timcast IRL does 300 overnight.
We went on Friday night. The one you would have is like 350 already.
hannah claire brimelow
Because people love Brimcast?
People love Brimcast. Is that what you're telling me?
tim pool
My point to bring all this stuff up is...
The media, the corporate press, pretends that these shows are massive and they do these deals because this is what they want people to strive for, to get these big deals.
And then you don't see TimCast IRL or even Daily Wire shows featured in any of these big networks, even though the Daily Wire shows audio set are massive.
And TimCast IRL, I will say this, I will say this, I gotta pause.
TimCast IRL is currently featured on YouTube's live front page.
So you go to YouTube Live, boom, Timcast IRL is playing, Temple Morning Show is playing.
Thank you, YouTube, for whatever reason.
hannah claire brimelow
That's the first time in years.
I mean, this was not standard for a long time.
tim pool
Honestly, I don't know.
What I can tell you is in the past week, people messaged us being like, hey, you guys are being featured on YouTube Live.
YouTube has a default live player when you go to YouTube Live, and it's us.
And I was like... Shout out, YouTube!
rob dew
YouTube wants Alex Jones back, secretly.
tim pool
That's what it is. They made a lot of money off him.
rob dew
Oh, they did. Of course they did. They were showing background stuff, and it was billions of views with what he was doing back in before YouTube was crazy.
tim pool
But you know what happened? It was Wall Street Journal.
They launched the adpocalypse where they started targeting YouTube relentlessly.
rob dew
Sleeping giants. Yes.
tim pool
But Wall Street Journal was running these stories saying that YouTube is running ads alongside the likes of Alex Jones and other far-right.
The advertisers said, we don't know what you're doing or why.
We don't want to be involved. And before that, advertisers were happy.
rob dew
They didn't care because they were getting the numbers.
tim pool
The sales were working.
This is crazy. We can go back seven years.
It used to be, let's say seven years ago, Seven years ago.
You could... Let's go back 10 years.
One cent per view.
You're an advertiser.
You got a brand new product. You could put a dollar on YouTube and get 100 views on your product.
Sales were cheap to get.
Then the apocalypse happened.
YouTube got attacked relentlessly and they said, you need to delete all of these channels, namely Alex Jones.
They were like... 100 million views a month?
We don't want ads appearing on that, and we're going to attack you and attack your stock until you get rid of it.
And this shattered YouTube inventory.
YouTube used to have too many videos to advertise on, so the cost per ad was one cent.
Wow. Now, if you wanted a premium position, like I want to be on CNN or whatever big network...
Yeah, you pay the premium. That could be upwards of 40 bucks per thousand, sorry.
Now... You're not really going to get those numbers anymore because the adpocalypse wiped everything out and YouTube started – well, not having to, but started banning tons of channels.
And so now you're left with what you're left with, I guess.
But anyway, long story short, my point in all this is the reason why I showed the Call Her Daddy at 260K – This stuff is not popular, okay?
When they put WAP and all these nasty songs where, like, Lil Nas X is banging the devil and stuff, and they want to tell you this is popular, it is to a certain degree, but it's artificially being inflated because they want to control the cultural narrative.
So they say, the biggest podcast, it's number one, well, I gotta tell you.
If you look at Apple, Caller Daddy is number one.
If you look at Spotify, it's I think number 10.
I could be wrong. It could be higher than that.
But on Spotify, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, I think Ben Shapiro dominate the top.
And Spotify has taken over for where people are getting their podcasts.
So I just want to wrap that up by saying, don't believe all of this stuff is culturally dominant.
It is being manufactured to convince you you are the underdog and you are on the outside.
When in fact, I think Axe shows how true things really are.
Every single time I see a pollster, like there's like a— They'll be like, who are you voting for?
It's just boom, Trump.
And then everyone says, well, it's because X is a right-wing platform.
Since when? Do you really expect me to believe that 70 million liberals quit X and 70 million conservatives joined X when Elon Musk bought it?
Don't buy it for a second.
hannah claire brimelow
No, because they didn't launch an alternative.
rob dew
Maybe let a couple million accounts back on.
hannah claire brimelow
Right. Well, when people were getting kicked off of X, I mean, we saw—I mean, obviously there's Truth Social, but we saw a lot—a rise of alternative where people were like, you know, X is not allowing free speech.
Elon Musk bought it, and I don't know of any liberals who were like, please join us on our alternative to— Well, they tried to go to Blue Sky.
phil labonte
There was the attempt to make Mastodon a thing, which didn't work because that's too complex for your average journalist.
Then there was the—there was Blue Sky, which I think was— I want to jump to this Elon story real quick, but I do want to say one thing.
tim pool
Guys, everyone is manipulating you.
It's the name of the game.
And so when it comes to ad sales, everybody's lying about everything.
They're trying to find ways to make it seem like they're bigger than they are so they can blame the advertiser if the product won't move.
It's a struggle. It is.
I want to say one thing particularly.
I was at the Butler Rally. It was awesome.
We brought Cybertruck.
We had to power the War Room podcast.
And I saw something from Elon Musk.
He tweeted something like, 12 million live viewers.
Twitter changed their viewer metric on live streams from concurrent to total viewership, and they did it in such a way that your average person doesn't know.
So when we on IRL did a live stream on X, and it got 800,000 views, we had people hitting us up like crazy saying, you had 800,000 people watching live, why aren't you only going on X? And I'm like, no.
No. We had 800,000 total viewers, and the retention rate for X is very low.
The concurrent rate was moderate.
I think we had 17,000 concurrent viewers.
They changed it for this reason— In my opinion, and I'm a fan of Elon Musk, but when he tweets 12 million live viewers or when people say something like, wow, a million people are watching, a million people watched.
But I got to tell you, in the industry right now, talking with some of the big shots at various networks, they are pissed that Elon Musk did this because it is basically like a dirty play.
It's like, what would you describe it?
It's angle shooting in poker.
rob dew
Way to pull more money out of the advertising.
tim pool
So all the other networks are sitting here being like, we can't change our concurrent metric the way he did.
It's because then people get false assumptions about viewership size and ad sales,
and it's disruptive to our market.
But Elon did.
So when you go live on X, that number where it shows a little person and the numbers going up is your total viewership and not your concurrent viewership, which are two different numbers.
But then people believe that, oh man, I better go on X because I get way more viewers.
Then you look in the back end, you look in your studio and you're like, oh, it's actually a lot less.
phil labonte
Part of the reason is because people know YouTube is where people get used to going to the same place.
So when people think of Timcast or IRL, they're going to go to YouTube because that's where they're familiar with it.
And it's a similar phenomenon when it comes to concerts, like shows, underground shows.
If you have a venue that consistently hosts hardcore bands or metal bands, everyone knows, oh...
I hear this band's going on tour.
Let me check the venue I know that has those bands to see if they're coming to my town.
If for some reason they're at a venue that doesn't normally host those bands, people will oftentimes miss the tour or whatever.
tim pool
Let's jump to the story from the post-millennial.
Elon Musk says the reason Kamala has so much powerful support is because Epstein client list will come out under Trump.
This is epic.
See, you know, and I'm critical of Elon where I think I need to be, but I'm a huge fan and this is an epic takedown of, what is he talking about, Reid Hoffman and Bill Gates?
elon musk
Will that ever come out, do you think? You know, I think part of why Kamala's getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that FC and client list is going to become public.
That's awesome. Some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome.
tucker carlson
Yeah. Do you think Reid Hoffman's uncomfortable?
phil labonte
Yes. Wow.
elon musk
And Gates. And Gates.
tucker carlson
Yeah. I only ask that because you just look at them and you're like, that's a nervous person right there.
I don't know. I mean, I assume you know them.
elon musk
Yeah. Yes. Reid Hoffman was my vice president of business development at PayPal.
tim pool
Oh, my God. Wow.
unidentified
Four years ago. Does he seem nervous to you?
elon musk
Yeah. I mean, he's terrified of a Trump victory.
tucker carlson
Because of the disclosure that would follow?
elon musk
I think... Yeah, I mean I think he's certainly ideologically not aligned with Trump anyway, but I think he is concerned about the Epstein situation.
tim pool
There you go. Gates and Hoffman and many others are concerned that Trump is going to release that information.
He said he would. Trump said he would do it.
rob dew
Well, now you've got the one-two punch. You've got Diddy and Epstein.
phil labonte
You don't have to even really like Trump at all to want Trump to win just because of the things that would happen under a Trump president.
You can hate Trump all you want. But if the client list is going to come out, you know that generally the economy is probably going to do better because it's a more friendly business environment than a Harris presidency would be.
you know, the likelihood is the cost of gas is going to go down, the cost of everything
else will likely go down because of the increased production of fossil fuels.
And it's just the list of things that are likely to happen under a Trump presidency,
completely and totally independent of Donald Trump himself, like it's enough reason to
be like, I want Trump to win.
hannah claire brimelow
You can have economic reasons for wanting to vote for Donald Trump, but the reality
is if you do not like the way things are right now, meaning that there is no transparency
on the Epstein situation, that things are very expensive, that people are generally
pretty hopeless, that people are concerned about crime and schools and increasing tensions
out where you wouldn't then vote for the current VP.
You need to vote for Trump, which is this fascinating position that he's in because
he has both an experienced president and also the alternative to the current situation.
You know, there's one other president in history, right, that's been able to do this where he
didn't serve.
He served twice, but not consecutively.
And I actually think in this case that is one of the reasons that there are a lot of people who don't necessarily love Trump but look at Kamala Harris as an extension of the Biden and therefore the Obama and therefore the overarching DNC machine that has kept them in the dark and kept them paying for a lot of stuff and they're kind of frustrated with it.
rob dew
Well, and it's interesting to see how the billionaires are drawing sides, because there's some billionaires that are for Trump, but not too many.
There's not too many billionaires that are for Trump.
It seems to be the average man, because they want to see what's behind the curtain, because we've been hearing about, how long have we been hearing about Epstein?
Yeah. You know, 15 years.
Now we have this Diddy stuff, which has been out there if you were looking for the seeds that were being planted.
phil labonte
Eminem. Yeah, was it Eminem lyric?
tim pool
He's like R-A-P-E-R. Did I just spell rapper without the P, Diddy?
Yeah. Or something like that.
And it's like, oh, whoa.
rob dew
There's a lot of stuff.
And I think this whole indictment, the original indictment by the DOJ was just to grab all the evidence and hide it.
And hopefully there's copies out there, but to keep that out of the limelight while this, you know, so there's no October surprise of, oh, now we have videos and names.
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, the judge said that the reason that he was withholding the client list is because of the damage to society, essentially the damage to society that it would do if the list got out.
Right.
hannah claire brimelow
Right. It's like when Biden says, oh, well, I'm and Harris, Biden and Harris both say,
oh, well, we're not going to go toward the impacted areas, the areas impacted by Hurricane
Helene because we don't want to interrupt emergency services, right? Like all presidents
are able to pull this off somehow without being a distraction from emergency services.
It seems like perhaps you just don't want to. And so therefore you have come up with some sort of
fake altruistic excuse. The judge is saying, oh, I don't want to. It could what it could do to
society. But actually what it means is like, I don't want to have to do my name's on that list.
Right. And I don't want to deal with the fact that you'll find out that I took donations from
whoever. Like there are all kinds of ways people are self-serving in the name while pretending to
be that for the people.
tim pool
This song is from 2024, called Fuel, Eminem and J-I-D, and one of the lyrics is, I'm like a R-A-P-E-R, got so many essays, essays.
Wait, he didn't just spell the word rapper and leave out a P, did he?
Rest in peace, R-I-P, rest in peace, Biggie.
Yeah, he's saying it outright.
phil labonte
I mean there's been a lot of rumors that have gone around for a long time.
It's not something that is foreign to people in the rap or the music business world.
tim pool
And this is why so many prominent pop stars just came out in support of Kamala Harris.
I – look, a lot of people – like Taylor Swift comes out and she's just like, I'm going to vote for Harris.
And it was kind of – I don't know, flaccid.
Like, she didn't make a very strong case for it.
She just made her post with a dog or with her cat or whatever.
And then you had a couple other people say – well, I think Joja Siwa was like – what did she say?
Like, it's so great of you to endorse but didn't endorse directly.
hannah claire brimelow
But then you had – Billie Eilish endorsed her.
Billie Eilish. Sort of lackluster.
tim pool
You had the most aggressive, I think, was Haley Williams of Paramore, who walks up to the camera and then just spits this, like, misinformation spiel.
Donald Trump's Project 2025 wants to take the rights away from women, poor people, LGBTQ. And a lot of people were like, I bet she's on Diddy's list.
And I'm like, no. No, no, no, no.
She's not. Her label, maybe.
Her manager, maybe.
Somebody who's in an organizational position above her music probably said, hey, go do this.
Because they, the people behind the scenes of the labels, are connected to Diddy and whatever it is Diddy was doing.
And so they're pulling all the stops.
rob dew
You know what I mean? It's Clive Davis to Diddy and everybody in between.
hannah claire brimelow
But again, it speaks to the elitism.
rob dew
You don't want to be in between. Oh, gosh.
hannah claire brimelow
But it speaks to this elitism that I think Americans are more so than ever aware of right now, that our system would work to protect Epstein and Diddy and other people, but it wouldn't work to protect actual Americans, let's say impacted by a hurricane.
I think there is a frustration there.
And You know, we were talking earlier about voters who, like, how do you reach them?
Are they low IQ or are they just not interested in politics?
I think there is a level of, like Phil had mentioned on Friday, people vote with their gut, but when their gut tells them they are being abused, they don't want to stick with the current system.
I think you'll see voters who won't necessarily be suddenly engaged with politics, but they will say, this is not good and I don't like it, and that will make them turn out Not all of them, but I think there is the emotional reaction of, I'm done with this.
You are treating me badly. I don't want to do this anymore.
phil labonte
I hope. I mean, that would be a wonderful development.
But I don't know that I believe there are enough people in the movable world.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, something like 5%, right?
It's something like 5% are actually truly undecided voters.
They'll say 10, but really that includes a percentage that leans right or leans left.
And so the question is, for all of those polls, are you polling just people in America who have the right and the ability to vote or people who are likely voters?
Likely voters are different than people who are absolutely never politically engaged,
even though they are, you know, they could be legally registered and everything else,
they just won't do it. But you can't really count on them to suddenly wake up anyway.
So again, it goes after this, like, likely voter who is truly undecided. And that is sort of a
unicorn. And I think it makes sense that both sides of the aisle are now sort of messaging
to their own people. Why Kamala Harris would go on a podcast and be like, abortion is such a big
issue because that's how she sort of soft launched her her debut on the stage. Anyways, I don't know
if you remember this, but there was a point Biden was still running. But there was a point where
they're like, she's gonna go on a national abortion tour, which I thought was funny,
because it was like, go away, Kamala, get out of the White House and do something.
But it was sort of the only issue she had tied to her name that she was willing to talk about.
Of course, she has ties to the border, but she doesn't want to talk about that, all kinds of stuff.
rob dew
She doesn't want to talk about law and order?
hannah claire brimelow
No, she'll talk about how he's a felon, she's a prosecutor, but she doesn't want to talk about what she did as a prosecutor.
She has a history she wants to walk away from.
But again, I think we're far enough down the path.
We're less than 30 days out from the election today.
You know, the idea that you would find you would really convert that last two percent of voters is unlikely.
You just now need to make sure the people who are likely to vote, who have voted for you in the past, really are going to turn out to the polls.
And I think Harris has a much harder time with that than Trump does right now.
rob dew
I don't think there's that many undecided at this point.
I think people have made up their minds and I think they're listening to their pocketbook.
And, you know, those that are brainwashed are brainwashed and they think that there's going to be some other, you know, there's another carrot in front of them and they're going to go with that.
But I think it's a lot, if it's an honest election, which we know it won't be, but I mean, I can't see Trump not winning.
Or something crazy.
phil labonte
I don't think it's going to be crazy at all.
I think it's just the federal government has been putting its finger on the scale since 2016.
rob dew
Well, they said you can't take names off the voter rolls now.
All of a sudden, they made this rule.
phil labonte
Yeah, the federal government has an opinion.
Clearly it has an opinion, which it's not supposed to have.
I've said this multiple times on the show.
The federal government is not supposed to have an opinion on who the population decides they want to run the federal government.
If we are actually a government run for the people and by the people, then the people should be deciding who gets in and out and who is taken out of office simply by the vote.
And the federal government shouldn't be propagandizing the people or influencing the people.
And they shouldn't be trying to say, well, if you vote for me, we'll go ahead and we'll make sure that we give you these special giveaways.
And that's the entire business of the federal government nowadays.
To the point where the president says, hey, we'll forgive your student loans.
The Supreme Court says, no, you're not supposed to do that.
And they're still saying, well, we're going to figure out a way to do it.
You know, there is no limitation to the executive by the rest of the government anymore.
tim pool
Let's do a hard segue to this story from NBC News.
And I kind of want to talk more about Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that they control the weather.
And of course the media put they in quotes, but first, this is really important.
Milton has intensified into a Category 5 hurricane.
Massive surge warning. So before we get into the more political nature of what the story is, I just want to say please heed the warnings from local law enforcement, from, look, you got Ron DeSantis out there.
He's been doing a great job with Helene.
Now Milton coming through.
He's done really well, I mean, relative to the other states.
Take it seriously. I know we got a handful of our friends who are saying they're going to stay there, but they're not on the west side of Florida.
It's going to be serious.
But... We're good to go.
They said it may strengthen to a hurricane and then hit Florida.
Then I see the next update.
It's looking like it'll be a major hurricane.
They were saying maybe it will be a Category 3.
Then this morning they said it's a Category 3.
It may actually get to the point where it becomes a 4 or a 5.
We will see. Two hours later they're like, it's a 4.
Two hours later, it's a 5.
Now they're saying it's even crazier.
So here's what ends up happening. Several days ago Marjorie Taylor Greene tweets out, and I'll show you.
She says, this is a map of hurricane-affected areas with an overlay of electoral map by political party.
Shows how hurricane devastation could affect the election.
And do they have her other tweet in here?
She tweeted something saying, yes, they can control the weather.
That's obvious. Now, it's true.
Governments, corporations, special interests have the ability to manipulate weather to a certain degree.
That is... We've got cloud seeding.
We saw the story recently in, I think it was where, the Emirates or Dubai?
There was major flooding. It was Dubai?
It was Dubai. Major flooding because their cloud seeding operation was too good.
So they were spraying some potassium derivative or some compound in the air, which basically causes the moisture to start condensing around the particles, and then it makes rain, and then that rain falls because there's moisture in the air basically all the time.
So this is basically what Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to imply.
With this, it looks like she's trying to imply that Republican strongholds are being destroyed by a hurricane that was— The government or deep state's doing, I guess?
I mean, look, Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that, you know, the government or special interests can control the weather and then showing Republican areas being slammed by this is making the insinuation that the weather is being controlled.
But I do want to pull this tweet up here from Noah Berggren.
He is a meteorologist on Fox 35 Orlando, and he says, 897 MB pressure with 180 mph max, sustained winds and gusts, 200 mph.
This is now the fourth strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world.
The eye is tiny at nearly 3.8 miles wide.
This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean's water can produce.
So, look, I don't know if you want to believe that this is government action, but I don't believe the government can make the most powerful hurricane ever.
I just—or whoever.
I don't know. Do you guys think that HAARP is firing radio waves or something?
rob dew
Allow me to put on my tinfoil hat and— Back in the 60s, they were doing this, and I explained this earlier when we were talking about it, but Ben Livingston was a guy who was running.
He was a weather guy, and then they put him into Vietnam and said, hey, make weather happen.
We want to bomb the Ho Chi Minh Trail with rain.
We want to take it out. So in the 60s, they were doing this.
He's called the father of weather weapons.
And that was just using cloud seeding.
Now, we know that if you've seen some of these radar things where they show the Doppler radar areas that are out there, and they'll show a map of just a bunch of circles.
Boom, boom, boom. And they're pulsing almost.
And you can see this over and over again in these videos with these storms.
And what that is, and this is my opinion, that these Doppler radar stations have a dual purpose.
One is to see where the weather is, but the other thing is to put out ionizing radiation.
And then you have HAARP, which is up—and there's HAARPs in other countries, too, these
antenna arrays that are heating the ionosphere, and the theory is by doing that, they can
maneuver large areas with weather.
maneuver large areas with weather. And then you have the space lasers that Marjorie
And then you have the space lasers that Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about.
Taylor Greene is talking about. Well, she posted a video, one of her tweets
Well, she posted a video—one of her tweets was a video, I think it's Michio Kaku, talking
was a video, I think it's Michio Kaku, talking about how we shoot lasers
unidentified
about how we shoot lasers at weather systems to move them ionosphere, and the theory is by doing that they can
rob dew
at weather systems to move them around. So I can speak a little bit to that
tim pool
because this has been a cloud seeding technique. Germany was famous
for, going back for a little while, using infrared lasers for cloud seeding
purposes to excite molecules and then cause them to act in certain ways or
whatever to move them to condense them to make rain. I don't know about making a
hurricane though, I mean that's, that's, well, unless you're saying it's been like
60 years of development and these weather weapons have been massively strengthened?
rob dew
There's patents to steer hurricanes. How do I look that up? Look that up.
hannah claire brimelow
I think you're just a crazy conspiracy theorist.
Oh, that's fine. Obviously, this is climate change and the environment.
rob dew
Oh, totally. If we give Al Gore money, they'll all go away.
hannah claire brimelow
Isn't it amazing how no matter what, it's always the thing that helps the left?
tim pool
Did you find it? Yes. Hurricane and tornado control device method for controlling hurricanes and application 20080047480 proposes a giant machine and method of operation to control hurricanes.
I don't believe it means these machines are viable.
A patent of someone having one is just...
rob dew
That's true. That's true. Who is the guy?
Terrence Howard has a lot of patents, but what have they done?
hannah claire brimelow
Right. I'm obviously joking.
rob dew
I just know that... But that patent's from the 40s, I think.
It's old. The 40s? Yeah, it's old.
I don't think it's new.
And they've been working on this.
They put out guidebooks where they were going into hurricanes and seeding them.
And another video I saw, this guy was tracking these...
And I think they're weather monitoring planes.
But he said these same planes also have the ability to do cloud seeding.
And maybe they're just running cloud seeding planes through there, beefing up this hurricane.
And then hitting it with other things?
I don't know. I don't know the technology.
hannah claire brimelow
To what end, though? Because they want Florida to not have good photo turnout?
rob dew
To cause chaos. Yeah, to cause chaos.
Because maybe, hey, if you hit it in the center of the state where it's mostly red...
You don't have anything going in Miami.
You know, Miami's safe.
That's where your Democrat strongholds are.
Jacksonville's safe. The panhandle's already been slammed, which is, you know, that's Matt Gaetz country.
Right, right, right. So you go through Tampa, that's pretty much taken up.
hannah claire brimelow
I saw a ton of people posting about how this is...
It's not that this never happens, but it's a very unusual path.
rob dew
Yeah, it seems very convenient right now.
And this hurricane, yeah, it doesn't really go...
They don't go from Mexico over into Florida.
They usually go that way.
tim pool
That's so... It's extremely wild and rare, as I hear, for a hurricane to form in the Gulf and then move northeast.
rob dew
And it's supposed to hit part of Mexico.
tim pool
It is right now. Currently, the radar shows it over Merida, Nucatan Peninsula, I believe.
So it is getting slammed.
rob dew
Okay. It's also worse if there's a high tide because it's supposed to hit Wednesday.
You've got to see when the high tide is because that makes the storms even worse.
tim pool
Is it really bad for me to say, I hope it veers south?
What, to Cuba? Well, I mean, like, because if it turns south right now, it'll slam into the Yucatan and just wipe out a bunch of poor people living in these areas.
It's not all poor people. And if it heads southeast, it'll slam into Cuba and...
And so it's like, I hope it stays where it is and fizzles out, I guess, which is not likely to be the case considering the water is warm and it's fueling the hurricane.
rob dew
Right. And if they can make these things stronger, then you would also think they can make them weaker.
If the government has this power, which we don't know if they do, we seem to think they do.
phil labonte
I seem to think they do. No, I don't think that that's the case.
No. I think it's just stronger. Well, just because you can start something doesn't mean you can stop it.
They can smash atoms, but once that chain reaction started, they're not stopping it.
That's true. So I don't think that the logic applies to it.
hannah claire brimelow
Bill says they only invested in one direction.
phil labonte
It goes one way. For argument's sake, I think cloud seeding does work, right?
It worked over Dubai.
tim pool
It absolutely does work. It's been around for 100 years.
phil labonte
So they do have cloud seeding, so that actually is a technology that exists, but I don't think that I've heard of anything that can undo the cloud seeding.
I've never heard of anything that can stop rain that started.
tim pool
Didn't Trump ask about nuking a hurricane during his administration or whatever?
Yeah. It would do nothing.
unidentified
It would just add radiation to the storm.
rob dew
He did say something during his inaugural address, though.
He talked about releasing the technology.
To the masses. He's apparently seen behind the curtain, and there's a lot of talk about his granddad, I guess, or his uncle, went into the Tesla factory.
So there's this thought that maybe he knows about this technology that's sitting in warehouses like the Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones, and he's going to open these things up, and then, oh, now we have free energy generators for every house.
tim pool
I can't believe that those...
Those books from the 1800s, what are they, about Barron Trump?
Who wrote? Ingersoll Lockwood.
That's still, I still, that's a hoax.
There's no way that's real. You know about these books?
I've heard of it, yeah. Yeah, like these books apparently.
rob dew
Because I thought, when I saw that, I'm like, that's got to be a hoax.
tim pool
It's got to be a hoax. Apparently these books were written in the 1800s and one of them talks about Barron Trump becoming like president and then leftist anarchist towards a storm, his castle on Fifth Avenue in New York.
I'm like, this is fake.
rob dew
I haven't heard Barron talk.
tim pool
Have you heard him talk? Didn't he say something recently?
hannah claire brimelow
I don't know. No, he's just going to NYU. No one's been able to get him talking.
I did see a video of a guy pretending to be Barron Trump at a bar to impress girls, which I think is kind of funny.
phil labonte
I heard from... There's a Wikipedia on Barron Trump novels.
tim pool
Yeah, I know.
What is it? Ingersoll Lockwood?
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, the novels appear to be real.
phil labonte
Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger in 1889.
The sequel, Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey in 1893.
tim pool
I don't believe it.
I still don't believe it. Because, do they even talk about an Ingersoll Lockwood?
Do they mention the Barron Trump novels?
phil labonte
Yeah, when you find Ingersoll Lockwood, if you Google his name, Wikipedia has his.
rob dew
They remained obscure until 2017 when AI wrote them.
tim pool
It says, they remained obscure until 2017 when they received media attention for perceived similarities between their protagonist and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Yeah, because in like the third book, here let me read it, it says,
July 2017, the books were rediscovered on internet forum users,
and then by media who pointed out similarities between Trump.
Jaime Fuller wrote in Politico that Barron Trump's precocious, restless, and prone to get in
unidentified
trouble.
tim pool
He often mentions his massive brain, and as a personalized insult for most people he meets.
Fuller also notes that Barron Trump lives in a building named after himself, Castle Trump,
while the real-life Trump has lived in Trump Tower for decades.
Furthermore, Trump's youngest son, his name is Barron Trump.
And Donald Trump used the pseudonym John Barron in the 80s.
Chris Rado noted in Newsweek that Barron Trump's adventures begin in Russia.
Rado also mentioned another book of Lockwood's 1900, or The Last President,
in which New York City is riven by protests following the shocking victory
of a populist candidate in the 1896 presidential election, who brings on the downfall of the American Republic.
The emergence of the novels has led to some groups claiming that it suggested that Donald and or Barron had engaged in
time travel.
This was often accompanied by claims that John G. Trump, a scientist and uncle of Donald,
had created a time machine alongside Nikola Tesla.
I wish!
Please be true!
rob dew
And it's fan fiction at its finest.
tim pool
I mean, dude, life is so boring.
I mean, it's like not really boring.
You go outside. It's beautiful. There's birds.
They're pooping. There's crickets jumping around.
We're having fun. Chickens be yelling.
But everybody wants adventure and they want more and they want to believe this stuff.
So I'm going to live in the reality where John G. Trump seizes Nikola Tesla's secret equipment, makes a time machine, goes back in time, has a kid.
It's Trump's uncle or whatever who tells him this is what you're going to do.
rob dew
And then Trump's doing it. Alright, hands on the manuscript to Inglewood.
Here you go, write this.
tim pool
No, Ingersoll Lockwood is barren.
unidentified
That's even better. No, I don't know.
hannah claire brimelow
Well, now we need one of those side-by-side face comparisons of this guy and Barry Trump.
tim pool
Barren went back in time too far.
He went back to 1863 and he was like, no, we've gone too far, uncle.
Now we'll never go do what we were going to do in the past.
What were they doing in the past anyway?
hannah claire brimelow
I don't have no idea. They have to tell us later.
It's not for us to know right now.
tim pool
I'm sorry. The idea that Trump or Barron or someone went back in time is just...
Why? What are you going to the 1800s for?
phil labonte
I mean, I don't believe the fantastic stuff.
That's right. I don't believe the fantastic stuff, but he was appointed by...
In 1862, he was appointed to counsel the Kingdom of Hanover by Abraham Lincoln.
I assume there would be some kind of document...
Ingersoll Lockwood. He was appointed to counsel the Kingdom of Hanover by Abraham Lincoln.
So I assume that there would be some kind of documentation if it was an official act of the government.
So, you know, I mean, at the very least, it seems like, and honestly, it seems like this is true, and honestly, it's not like Wikipedia doesn't have a leftist bent.
So anything that, if it wasn't, if this wasn't a real guy, and there was even a whiff of, you know, fabrication to...
Maybe a fact check somewhere. Yeah, I imagine they would just be like, oh, get it out of here, because there are people that work on Wikipedia that absolutely hate the right.
They're very, very far left, and they have done some creative editing to some of the posts and stuff, the entries, to benefit or to make the left look more appealing.
hannah claire brimelow
Right, there's a bias to their editors.
Yeah, for sure. I am not—it's hard to totally accept, like, well, they would just make the hurricane bad because of chaos for me right now.
I think in part because they suffer, too.
Like, North Carolina getting hit by a bad hurricane, and obviously this one is, like— A little weirder in its path and stuff.
It's got a democratic governor.
And so unless you're trying to, like, if you were to tell me, like, they're doing it to disrupt the election, I'd be like, okay, that's a direct motivation.
But chaos for chaos's sake seems like it would lead to risking a certain amount of power that I feel like you would need, especially for someone who already is in the know about the hurricane seeding technology.
rob dew
You sound like you're drinking fluoridated water.
hannah claire brimelow
Maybe, maybe so.
No, I am totally kidding about the climate change things, though.
What bothers me about all of this is that was the main thing people were interested in.
I mean, the media immediately jumped to see how important it is that we talk about climate change as soon as Helene hit.
rob dew
Well, they do that with any storm.
hannah claire brimelow
Any storm ever. And really, it's like, sure, you can say that.
That's great. But then shouldn't you also be mad that we're shipping money overseas?
tim pool
So there's good news. And it's that Milton is actually going to slam into Tizamin, Merida, around Cancun in Mexico.
Or is that Belize? I don't know what these countries are.
In the Yucatan Peninsula. And so it will weaken just a little bit.
Yeah.
difficult thing to say, right? We don't want the hurricane to hit us full force.
So it benefits Americans that people in the Yucatan Peninsula are being slammed
by a Category 5 because the landmass will actually weaken the hurricane a
little bit, and by the time it passes through it will drop down to a 4 as it
approaches Florida and then ultimately slam into Tampa as a Category 3.
rob dew
That's a wild path, though.
tim pool
Isn't this crazy?
It's like, it's hooking every projection model is like, oh yeah, Florida, you're screwed.
Like, you are getting slammed.
rob dew
Yeah, there's nothing going like, it's just going to run into Cuba.
unidentified
Nothing. Nope, it's coming right for us.
rob dew
That's wild. And they're already getting rain, so it's softening up the ground.
I think that's a big reason why all the states, Georgia and North Carolina and Tennessee, they were getting rained on before the hurricane hit.
Yeah, from a different way. Yeah, so you got saturated ground, and that's why you had all these mudslides.
It had the 24 inches or so just come by itself.
Might not have been as bad, but you already had, you know, it was primed.
hannah claire brimelow
Right. And they're already – I mean I've watched videos of people who live in Florida and their houses flooded during Helene.
They're like, we're beginning the remediation process and now they're just going to get hit again.
I mean it means that every emergency resource, any kind of recovery effort either is going to get literally washed away or it's going to have to go on pause, which means that all kinds of displacement.
Americans have to just kind of hang out and wait and see how many more hurricanes are going to hit before they can finally return to their lives.
tim pool
I think the damage to Florida is going to be massive.
And what we're seeing in North Carolina and Georgia is horrifying.
Roads just no longer existing.
And... We got this tweet from Marco Rubio.
He says, several years ago I asked NHC Atlantic to show me what the worst case storm hitting Florida would look like.
What they showed me back then is almost identical to the Milton forecast now.
Eight to twelve foot storm surges in Tampa.
Five to ten at Charlotte Harbor.
Four to seven at Chokoloski.
And the Keys are going to get one to three feet.
That's wild, man. Tampa is going to get flattened by this.
This is just, it's crazy to see.
So I hope everybody's taking this seriously.
Whatever it is, people were begging us to move to Florida.
And I was just like, guys, I don't want to move to Florida, right?
Because you got rain and it's hot.
But I do want to say this. I do want to say this.
We have a lot of friends in Florida.
So for those of you who are members over at TimCast.com, I thank you for your membership.
and if you are not, you should be. So everybody should go over to TimCast, click join us,
become a member because membership is what makes the show operate. And without members,
we can't do what we do. That being said, you may have noticed in the past week, our members show
were laggy, cutting in and out. This is because Hurricane Helene caused serious damage to Rumble.
They are in the area. And this means they need our support more than ever. So we're going to keep
doing our best to maintain our members only show, which will be coming up at 10pm. Please
join us there. They're a lot of fun. They're uncensored, not so family friendly, but always
funny. And this means that we're having issues with the player. Rumble is working as hard as
they can to get everything working.
Our website, we use Rumble Infrastructure.
We use Parallel Economy, which is Rumble and Dan Bongino's payment processor, because we believe in creating businesses and sustaining them to fracture the control of the hegemonic censorship industrial complex.
Chris Pavlovsky of Rumble had a really great post where he said, this election is going to be a lot harder than the censor because you've got X, you've got Rumble.
And that is true. And you've got parallel economy for payment processing.
So please bear with us and with everybody else when this storm is going to cause us delays and disruptions to our show even up here in West Virginia.
And so, you know...
That being said, everybody is getting hit by this, and we just got to deal with it.
So I hope you all are willing to do so.
rob dew
One of the positives is the last hurricane did deposit a lot of sand in that area, and they're actually using that sand now to make sandbags, which, you know, you don't have to dig it out of the ocean.
It's right there. It's piled up.
hannah claire brimelow
And it's almost helping clear sand that got deposited, too.
tim pool
Right. Yeah. Like the water-washed sand?
rob dew
Oh, there's sand mounds everywhere.
It's like the dunes now.
There's parking lots in where hotels used to be, and there's this beautiful white sand, that white crystal sand that's all over.
hannah claire brimelow
It all gets carried by the water, but then the water leaves.
rob dew
And then it leaves, and the sand's still there.
tim pool
I saw the mud, which is crazy, because I don't think people realize.
The water washes in, and it's full of mud.
When the water starts going down, the dirt stays.
The water evaporates or drains, and then you get two feet of mud.
Which is absolutely insane.
rob dew
Got to clean it up. Yep.
It's got to be a field day for roofers in Florida.
Yeah. Roofers and tree cutters.
tim pool
And drywall people. I suppose the question for you guys is, do you think this is going to...
You know, with the talk of weather control, the concern is that North Carolina and Georgia,
these are Republican strongholds and Trump needs to get, he needs to win these to win
these swing states.
And now a month after the election, how are they going to run this?
But Florida is deep red and Miami is not really going to get, Miami went red last time around.
So I kind of feel like even with this damage, Florida is still going to vote Republican.
rob dew
There just might be less votes overall.
Because I think some of the, you know, you think of all the electronic voting machines that have been flooded.
You know, those things aren't being kept on the top floor.
hannah claire brimelow
It obscures polling, right?
One of the issues in the last couple of weeks is every pollster ever is trying to get their queries in, especially in swing states like North Carolina.
But if you can't, you know, in North Carolina specifically, if there's no cell service, you're not answering emails or calls from pollsters.
rob dew
You're not getting anything from half the states.
hannah claire brimelow
Right. So there's no accurate way to measure counties.
I mean, presumably a lot of these counties, from what we know, are already red.
But at the same time, like, this means that all of the data going into the election in these area is going to be completely unreliable.
rob dew
Tim, can I make one plea to your listeners out there?
Yeah. Because I know you're a big champion of free speech, and we're sitting here talking about these great things.
Free speech is alive and well in most of the country, except down in Texas where we have Alex Jones being attacked relentlessly by different entities that want to shut him up.
And people can help out.
I just want to put this out one more time to realalexjones.com.
That's where we have a ginsive gives and go to help fund what's going on because they want to take away his name.
They want to take away his...
They filed to take away his real Alex Jones...
X channel. They can't do that.
tim pool
But they want to. Elon owns it.
rob dew
But if he doesn't fight these things, then the judge could say, well, you could take it.
And then Elon could say, well, no one gets to use it.
tim pool
No, Elon could say, Alex gets to use it.
rob dew
Bye. He could. And we'll get to that battle.
They also want to say he can't use the name The Alex Jones Show.
Well, that's his name. And they're saying, well, no, we don't like that.
They want to put a receiver over him.
They've got these constant little...
Now that they've... We're taking away things when they're going to auction everything off.
They've taken that away. So now they want to go after anything residual where he can't rebuild.
So really the two things left are he's literally selling t-shirts to fund the next chapter at thealexjonesstore.com and then asking people to help fund his legal defense.
And people just give five, ten bucks.
100,000 people do it.
It really changes everything, especially for him, and allows him to fight these battles.
We've got appeals. We've got all kinds of stuff going on.
And that's where the real fight is, I think, for the First Amendment, is showing these people that they can't dename somebody and just take away everything for something they said.
Boeing killed 100 people, 300 people.
With some plane crashes, they paid $300 million in fines.
hannah claire brimelow
No one tried to take away their brand.
I mean, they're really trying to un-person Alex Jones.
They really are. As if they could erase him from time, space, and the history books.
How did you get involved with InfoWars and Alex Jones?
rob dew
I answered a Craigslist ad.
hannah claire brimelow
That's funny. Literally. You're, I think, the third Infowars guy I've heard say that.
rob dew
Well, that's where we used to always put ads out on Craigslist.
But I answered an ad, and they called me up.
And when I got there, the guy called me on the phone, who's not there anymore.
But he said, this is working for Alex Jones.
I said, oh, cool. I kind of thought it was.
He didn't say it in the post. That's the first screener.
That was the first screener. And so I show up, and Alex is interviewing a guy who's showing you not to get busted.
He's a former sheriff's deputy. He's called Never Get Busted.
And I go in there and I'm showing all the DVDs and stuff that I made and produced.
And I produced a whole DVD series for the city of South Padre Island.
And he's looking at them all.
He's like, this is the kind of thinking we need here.
And he walks out. This is during a break and he's eating brisket while he's doing it.
And he walks out and the guy goes, I guess you got the job.
That's pretty much how it happened.
And I got there. I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
I knew I was going to be a producer.
So I started answering the phone.
And after about three days of that, Alex goes, don't answer the phone.
Because we were getting all kinds of crazy calls.
People call in. And it's like, hello?
And it's like some long rabbit trail.
and you're like, oh my God.
But then it got to going and taping.
And Tim, you're gonna come into this story here in a second.
We go in and taping long form interviews.
We go interview John Perkins.
We go interview Tim Ball, who was a climatologist.
We'd do these long three hour interviews, Rosalind Peterson on chemtrails out in California.
And then we'd make these documentaries and we'd use like 10 minutes of their stuff.
And then in 2011, when Ferguson happened, the paradigm had changed from shooting long form videos
putting them out on YouTube to going live.
And I think that's when we discovered—he was already a name—but we discovered this guy running around with a beanie on, and we're like, who's this guy?
We've got to interview him.
Go interview him and see what he's talking about, because I think you might have been working for Vice at the time.
tim pool
Not if I was live streaming on the ground.
It's probably either before or after.
rob dew
Okay. Well, one of our guys got stuck in two.
They were getting tear gassed at Ferguson.
But you were at Ferguson, right? You were there.
tim pool
Oh, okay. Yeah, Ferguson was Vice.
rob dew
Vice and Fusion. But that was when live streaming became big.
We had the tools to go for at least an hour at a time.
It wasn't really good on phones, but it was not bad.
But you could buy these units and hook up a camera and get some pretty good stuff and get lots of views.
We just saw the view counts go crazy on all these different platforms.
Nobody does it anymore. They don't.
That's weird, right? Well, it's because, you know, put it on Twitter and you get it, you know, different.
It's just the way things change.
But that's the way the news business changes.
tim pool
If you were on the ground at any one of these protests with a phone live streaming, you'd be getting millions upon millions of views.
You'd gain 100,000 subscribers overnight.
I don't think any of that has changed.
The reason I stopped doing it is because people started just jumping in front of the camera to scream because they knew it had a million viewers or whatever.
rob dew
Effer in the pee. Right.
tim pool
Or just one guy was screaming, it's Tim, it's Tim.
And he would just stand in front of me and be like, look at me, look at me.
And I'm like, I can't do this.
rob dew
You can't get anything done. Yeah. Yeah.
tim pool
But no one else streams anymore.
rob dew
It's weird. It's weird because that's how a lot of people made themselves.
We definitely went into another arena of popularity by doing that.
tim pool
It's interesting, too. I think mobile live streaming is over.
I tried to do a live stream when the second Trump assassination plot broke.
And YouTube only allowed me to go vertical.
Right. And I'm like, ain't no way I'm walking on a vertical live stream.
And so I tried to hold it sideways so you can see that there's no chat.
And I was like, there's no chat, and it's just this grainy, low-res, vertical stream?
I'm like, we've gone backwards here, man.
rob dew
Well, and that could be to control the paradigm, or the narrative.
When Facebook first started offering live streams, that was early on.
Facebook mentions, I think is what it was called.
We would put Alex on.
And we'd sit there and watch.
He's just walking downtown, going to Google, confronting Google.
We'd see a million viewers watching.
And I think at the time we were seeing real numbers because there was no governor.
There was nothing. It was just like, we're going to give you...
Because it was right early on when they were starting it.
They wanted to give it to Alex Jones.
We had a back channel to Facebook.
They're like, here you go. Boom. And this is before all the censorship.
And we're watching this 1.3 million viewers.
And we're like, whoa, this is crazy.
Like you're just thinking about the number of people who are like on their phones watching whatever's going on.
And that one, it just goes, that's powerful.
That's power. And they can't let that out there.
They can't let somebody like yourself to go out there and film an event and go, here's what's really going on.
tim pool
I mean, I think it's cultural.
I think the culture of it died.
People don't want to go on the ground and do live streams.
Yeah, it is work. It's hard to monetize.
rob dew
It's a dirty business.
You know, you get shot at, you get tear gassed, you get, you know, there's all kinds of stuff that could happen to you.
tim pool
Alright, we're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know, because it's the best show on the internet.
Everyone agrees, at least that's what I've been told.
And become a member at TimCast.com.
That members-only show is coming up in about 20 minutes.
And of course, leave us a good rating if you're listening on the audio podcasts or if you're just in general.
Everyone go to Apple Podcasts or whatever in just five stars.
We would really appreciate it.
It does help. T-Bomb says the TimCast members-only 7 Days to Die server has been upgraded bigly.
Come survive with us in a post-Kamala USA. Tim, we have your beanie.
Well, I'd like it back, but it's okay.
Scooby Dragon says, howdy people, howdy.
Councilman Robert Suppenblock says, Kamala reminds me of the Sky Marshal in Starship Troopers that takes over and immediately throws her former boss under the bus.
Yeah, I kind of don't think Kamala wants to be president.
I think they told her.
I think they put her there.
You know, Biden's like, we're getting rid of him and you're going to run.
rob dew
And she's like, oh, why would they get rid of Biden?
tim pool
If they really couldn't win a down ticket, he was going to cost them a bunch of seats.
Oh, downtown. And then they're like, we have no time to get anybody.
And the war chest can only be transferred reasonably to Kamala, despite the fact legally, I don't think it can.
But they have no argument to put all that money in any other candidate if they swap him out.
rob dew
I went to the campaign office, the Harry Balls campaign office in Ranson, completely empty.
I mean, it's filled with stuff, but it doesn't look like anybody's done anything.
tim pool
Wait, wait. In Ranson, there's a...
rob dew
Yeah, there's a little campaign office.
tim pool
For Harris? Yeah. Really?
rob dew
Right downtown. I walked in.
I'm looking around. Hello?
Anybody there? I took two pictures of it.
I took a picture of the front, and then I walked in.
tim pool
And no one was there? No one was there.
rob dew
The door was open. The door was wide open.
It said, come on in. And there's stacks of stuff on the tables.
tim pool
I mean, maybe they're just in the bathroom.
rob dew
They could have been. I mean, I said hello.
tim pool
Yeah, all one for real. I doubt they're going to spend a lot of money in West Virginia.
But this is important because it opens up legal standing for West Virginia residents for anything Kamala Harris as a campaign does.
So when they go after Trump or other nonprofits from various states for operating in their state or whatever, if there's questions about any actions they're doing in terms of financing or otherwise...
If their campaign is operating in West Virginia, and of course they're going to operate in every state.
rob dew
And they could just say that. Yeah, here we are.
tim pool
Boom. Well, now it's like, look, they're operating here.
This is what they're fundraising off of.
This is what they're saying. Citizens of West Virginia, residents of West Virginia have legal standing.
All right, let's grab some more.
Shane H. Wilder says, prayers to everyone in the path of Hurricane Milton.
To anyone watching, if you can help, please help, even if it's just prayers.
unidentified
Indeed. There's the inside of it.
tim pool
Oh, that looks nice. I mean, was there coffee?
rob dew
You know, I didn't see any coffee.
tim pool
I want to go check it out. Vincent Latore says, That's weird.
Yeah, we went. We hung out with Jack Posobiec.
It was great. He was doing the War Room Podcast live for all of the people.
And the line—this is crazy because we got there at 9 a.m.
And the line went on forever.
Oh, yeah. Three hours later, the line was still there.
And I think it went on for several more hours because you can see the aerial photos.
And it was really great.
Got to meet a lot of really cool people.
Took a lot of pictures with everybody. Yeah.
Did a really great couple of interviews.
Did an interview with Midas Touch.
I would be very surprised if they upload it raw and it's full.
But I would not be surprised if they edit it and selectively put up things that I said because that's usually what people do.
hannah claire brimelow
That's what they do. The crowd in Pennsylvania was really interesting.
I mean, there was a constant stream all day long.
I think I got there maybe around 1 and stood in line for maybe 40 minutes to get in.
And then it just never stopped.
I mean, if you were like...
Because I like to walk around. You would walk kind of up to where the screens are as close as you get and walk away.
And it got harder and harder.
You had to stop moving because it just became this huge mass of people.
And it reminded me of...
I watched this miniseries a long time ago on Jerry Garcia and, like, the Deadhead movement.
And, you know, I'd be talking to people in the crowd and they'd be like, oh, yeah, this is, like, my fifth or sixth Trump rally.
Like, they really do have that, like...
rob dew
They follow it around, yeah. They follow it around.
It was fascinating. It's a cultural movement.
hannah claire brimelow
And almost, I mean, I can't tell you how many people were like, well, I was here on July 13th, so I came back and I asked them, like, were you nervous?
Like, did you feel anything about it? And they were like, no, why?
unidentified
Was anybody on the roof? There were so many people on the roof.
hannah claire brimelow
All of the budget went to the snipers.
Of course. And it was amazing.
The one thing that someone in the crowd pointed out to me was like, I don't see it being on the water tower.
Right. But I almost feel like they're like, we don't want to stir up anything this time.
rob dew
Yeah, six people on the water tower.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, lots of people on the roof, which was fascinating.
rob dew
So I finished high school in Pennsylvania.
And in between the RNC and the DNC, the RNC was in...
What? Cleveland. And then we went to the DNC in Philly.
But we stopped in Pittsburgh on the night before and I went and saw some old friends.
And these are all Democrats.
Working class Democrats. Every one of them was voting for Trump.
Yeah. And right then I'm like, oh, he's going to totally win because the working class people finally woken up.
They're like, oh, the Democrats aren't our friend anymore.
And they realize that.
They're like, we're not voting for Hillary.
They're like, we're Trump all the way.
And Westmoreland County, which is normally a blue county, it went red for that election.
And that was, I think, because these people had just had enough and they've seen it.
And I think you're going to see the same thing again.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I agree. I mean, that's the thing of the story of West Virginia, for the most part.
West Virginia at one point was a Democratic stronghold, and people don't realize that now.
But it is one of two states that went entirely for Trump in 2020.
Oklahoma was the other one. Yeah, and Jefferson County, where Branson is, which you're mentioning, is one of two that came within 50%.
So it was like, I think, 54% of the county voted for Trump.
rob dew
That's why they have their headquarters. Right, right, right.
hannah claire brimelow
They're like, this is the one place we might be able to win.
But I think, you know, one of the county commissioners who spoke at the rally said, I am declaring Butler the capital of Trump country.
And I do think that sort of rust belt of America feels that.
I mean, even though they might have been super blue, we are working people, union members at one point, they know that no matter what Joe Biden says, no matter what Kamala Harris pretends, that party does not represent them any They've seen the results.
rob dew
And it's taken a while.
It's taken a few generations. But they're like, you know what?
It's not getting any better.
We keep putting these people in office.
Nothing gets better. But I think it's our responsibility as communities to make our communities better.
Yeah, I agree. You know, we got to have more civil defense.
So when these things happen, there's a group of people who are ready on standby.
And it's not that we're not waiting for the government to show up.
People are bootstrapping it up and going, you know, we got to start taking care of ourselves.
But I think a lot of that comes with you're not looking for, you know, making it through your next paycheck, you know, just to pay what bills you're going to pay.
You know, you have to be comfortable to make that society, which we used to have that type of society.
And hopefully we can get back to that and be inclusive for everyone.
tim pool
All right. Zach Matisse says, for the first time, New York might be a toss-up.
I've never seen a political ad here in upstate New York.
The last two days, we've seen two Trump and one Kamala.
I don't know if it's a toss-up. Interesting, though.
phil labonte
I think the fact that Harris is advertising is actually more telling than Trump.
Oh, yeah. Because that means that they've done internal work that says, well, maybe we do need to shore up our support in New York.
rob dew
We can't just go with Long Island, or not Long Island, but Manhattan.
We have to actually do some work.
phil labonte
I think that speaks volumes.
hannah claire brimelow
Go ahead. No, I totally agree with you.
Trump said last year at the New York Young Republicans Gala, we're going to win New York.
And it's one of those things where it's like, of course you want to win New York, you lifelong New Yorker.
Like, okay, fine. But I think Democrats, like you're saying, would only spend money there this close to the election if they felt like there was something to be anxious about.
And maybe it's the down ticket races.
Like, maybe they want to have this presence there for that reason.
Yeah. Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Heron Gaming News says, you'd think Kamala would at least pretend to care.
We should do a donation drive for the victims of the hurricane.
Can you please donate my $10 for relief efforts?
Perhaps donate unneeded clothes, too.
rob dew
We'll take a look. I had a friend drive down baby clothes.
He had all his baby clothes.
He drove them down there. He saw bodies in the water.
He was in a boat wading with waders.
It's crazy down there.
tim pool
We here at TimCast would like to provide assistance.
So long as it doesn't interfere with any ongoing emergency efforts.
Right. I didn't know you were in the White House.
rob dew
That's crazy. Trucks of water.
Speeches for Kamala. There's trucks of water showing up and they're like, no, we don't want your water.
That happened in Katrina. There were trucks of water showing up and they're like, no, you're not from our approved vendor.
People are like, what? What is this?
hannah claire brimelow
Like our contracts are very important to us.
tim pool
Jacob Bawley says, remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot?
I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
This election will be crazy. Get prepared.
And Stockboys, Phil, now that you're back, run for government again?
phil labonte
I am not running for any position.
hannah claire brimelow
Again? Did you run before?
phil labonte
I have never done anything like that, and I'm offended at the implication.
hannah claire brimelow
What would you run for?
What? What would you run for?
unidentified
The Hills. Is that a political party?
tim pool
I tease Allison all the time by mentioning a future presidential run, and then her face just gets wiped clean whenever I say it.
And then we were driving back from the rally, and I was saying something like...
You know, so we're setting up a studio in D.C. so that we can...
There's a lot of members of Congress who ask to come on the show all the time.
Right. But they're like, I know it's only an hour and a half drive, but it's an hour and a half round trip and we can't.
So we found a really great location for a studio that's very close to the Capitol.
And then I was like, yeah, we'll do that for a couple of years.
And then when I run, she goes, I knew it.
I was like, I'm kidding. I will never run for office.
rob dew
You know, they got to look under the beanie if that happens.
tim pool
Yeah. If I run for office.
If you run for office. I don't want to go anywhere near government.
phil labonte
Government is horrible. I would say terrible things on Maine just to prevent my...
tim pool
But to sound more aggressive and strong, I'll just use the Lex Luthor line instead.
Do you have any idea how much power I would have to give up to become president?
No. That's the real reason I don't want to do it.
No, I'm kidding. I wouldn't want to do anything in government.
Lord help me. But that seems terrible.
rob dew
But then that's why a lot of people don't go into government because they're successful and they're like, why should I give up this life to go be...
hannah claire brimelow
That's what Trump said during his speech at the rally.
He was like, I could be in Monte Carlo, but instead I am here.
I would rather be in Butler.
rob dew
I'm here with you people. You people.
hannah claire brimelow
He's like, I have so many beautiful properties.
tim pool
Yeah. All right, Val says, Brimcast, great.
Welcome, Tim. Will election reveal which undercurrent is stronger?
Western Republican nationalism versus socialist global communism?
Is the fight actually independent voters versus voting shenanigans subverting the vote of said independents?
Twill be interesting. Twill.
rob dew
I think it's voting shenanigans.
Yeah. I'm voting for voting shenanigans.
hannah claire brimelow
Yeah, I was just saying thank you guys for tuning in on Friday for Brimcast.
I was happy to do it, but I know you guys loved him and I'm glad he's back.
tim pool
Oh yeah, it was a heck of a drive in Cybertruck.
It was fun though. Guys, Breezewood, PA is the greatest city in the country.
Have you ever been there? No. There's only one reason why it is.
There's a casino? No, there's an original full standing Pizza Hut.
With salad bar and everything.
rob dew
That was the square or the rectangle?
hannah claire brimelow
Is it like the last one in the country?
tim pool
No, there's a bunch.
But it's great because Breezewood's like a trucker junction.
This is a bunch of gas stations and truck stops.
And we parked. We hooked up the Cybertruck and said, let's just get some juice here.
And what should we do?
And I was like, that's a Pizza Hut.
And we went in and Allison got a pineapple thin crust.
Because she likes pineapple.
And I got wings! And they were delicious.
rob dew
Pizza was the first outlet to do the barbecue pizza.
Really? Yeah, they were the first ones.
I remember in the maybe late 80s, they had the little barbecue pizza you could get.
It was amazing. Yeah.
tim pool
Back in the day. And they had the salad bar and the pizza buffet, but it was closed because it was like super late at night.
I think it was like 10 o'clock or whatever when we got there, and they were open.
Open until 11. That's cool.
And I was like, I haven't sat down at a Pizza Hut restaurant in so long, and their ingredients are garbage, but it brought back memories.
phil labonte
Yeah. I mean, it's horrible for you, but as a once in a great while thing, it's fine.
tim pool
But I just had the wings and scraped some of the cheese off because I'm not doing any...
I mean, it's not bad.
You know, fresh chicken from, you know, Chicken City brand chicken is much better.
But, you know, I like chicken.
I was thinking about this recently because when you order wings, you get 12, right?
Which is basically two arms and two legs each.
So that's six birds dead.
rob dew
Six breasts that are somewhere.
tim pool
Yeah, someone's eaten those.
But I'm just like, I wonder how many chickens I've killed this week.
And so, I gotta be honest, last week the only thing I ate was wings.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday was just wings.
Was Friday? Yep, just wings.
And so it's about 12 wings per order.
So that's 30 chickens that died to feed me.
Granted, the chicken breasts, I don't know who ate those.
So I didn't eat the whole chicken.
But that's a lot of chicken wings.
hannah claire brimelow
Killing a lot of birds So, I take the leaf blower and I blow all the dust out of the park.
tim pool
It's a big building. And then the other day, there's under...
One of the ramps sticks out a little bit.
It's called the love seat. And it's, I don't know, what is it?
12 feet wide.
I put the blower under the sheet metal and 20 crickets came flying out.
Yeah. They're everywhere, screaming up a storm, running around, living underneath the ramps.
And so I've got a solution.
We're going to get a couple chickens and let them go.
Just to run around the place, just chasing down the crickets.
Put a skateboard helmet on. Smorgasbord.
And the chickens will probably poop, but it's okay.
We can clean the poop up if they get rid of all the crickets.
phil labonte
They'll clean up the crickets pretty quickly.
tim pool
Here's the best part. They'll lay eggs from the crickets that we will eat.
So we're basically turning the crickets into food.
We will not eat the crickets.
We will not eat the bugs. We will eat the eggs that the chickens give us.
Perfect. That's why I believe in the 20th Amendment.
The right to keep barren breed chickens shall not be infringed.
And Arizona recently passed this law at the state level.
No one can ban you from backyard chickens.
Because Arizona, that was based.
Alright, we'll grab some more Super Chats here.
What have we? Andrew, you says, just saw a billboard in the Cincinnati area saying to report hate crimes to the FBI with an associated phone number.
Thought crimes have become a reality nationwide.
hannah claire brimelow
Heavens. You know something about thought crimes, am I right?
rob dew
I do. And also, I'm going to give you guys a little secret when we go to the, what do you call it, the executive session?
hannah claire brimelow
Members only. Members only.
rob dew
Executive session. That's what they call it in Congress when they're going to talk about stuff that they don't want you to hear.
They call it the executive session.
But I'm going to teach people.
I will tell them how I do not go through the body scanners at the airport.
Full proof way. Yeah, they pat you down.
No. Well, no, I don't even get pat down.
tim pool
How do you do it? Oh, I'm going to show you then.
unidentified
All right. We'll do it then.
tim pool
All right. Stay tuned. I have a foolproof way as well.
It's called TSA Pre.
Oh, yeah. Walk right in.
All right. Armor says, this is for Phil.
I had VIP tickets for y'all at Richmond.
I know it was an issue with the venue, but what happened?
phil labonte
Uh... I can't say.
It was the safety issue, and it was the venue, and that's all I'm allowed to say, because All That Remains was a support act.
That's an issue with Live Nation, with the venue, and with Megadeth.
Actually, with the venue and Live Nation, it has nothing to do with All That Remains and stuff.
unidentified
I bet Diddy was there. We gotta go!
phil labonte
We're shutting it down! Everybody's just running.
Yeah, but I can't talk about it because there are legalities surrounding it, so nobody did anything wrong or anything.
It was a safety issue, but it was something that had to be done, so I apologize.
rob dew
Before a show, we were interviewing Megadeth backstage.
It was like 2011 in Dallas, and We're sitting there.
He goes, y'all just come hang out.
We're going to rehearse the show.
And they literally sat in a circle playing with no amps or anything.
The drummer's beating on his arm.
They do the whole show. Front to back.
And then they go out and just nail it.
And it's amazing. Do you do that when you...
phil labonte
We don't do that. We have done that with, like, if we're debuting a new song or whatever, like, everyone will go through this stuff.
And it's, I mean, it's fairly normal, you know, like, Megadeth sets up a jam room every day.
So they have, like, an electronic kit and everyone's got small amps.
And so, like, if they want to work on stuff, they'll go in there and work on stuff.
But, I mean, because they're headlining, at Soundcheck, they just go out onto the stage and do it.
Yeah. And just, you know, do it full volume.
And they lock the place down.
They're like, no one can come in to watch.
Like, even the other bands, we're not allowed to go watch.
I mean, you can still hear it because you're in the venue, but...
hannah claire brimelow
Do you have a pre-show ritual, though?
phil labonte
I do have a warm-up that I do, and I kind of do a little get the heartbeat going and do some push-ups and stuff like that and kind of jump around a little bit, you know?
hannah claire brimelow
It's funny. He doesn't do it before IRL. That's why I'm asking.
He treats this very differently than his rock star job.
phil labonte
This is very different. I'm not expected to jump around.
I don't have to yell as much. You have to get your heartbeat off.
unidentified
That's right. Let's grab a couple more Super Chats.
tim pool
No Name says, I grew up in Dayton, Ohio in the late 70s.
Wright-Patterson seeded snowstorms that dumped feet of snow two years in a row.
unidentified
Did they now? Hmm.
tim pool
Alex Stein is convinced that the earth is flat too, right?
That was a whole thing we had to go through.
hannah claire brimelow
I thought it was sort of donut shaped.
tim pool
Is that not what it was? No, the donut earth theory is that it is hollow and flat, meaning it is a donut.
But earth is not a donut because you'd be able to see the other side from the inside of the donut, you know what I mean?
But these flat earthers are wild, man.
hannah claire brimelow
Is he going to go to Antarctica?
tim pool
You know, he talks big game about the earth being flat, and then I'm like, I'll pay.
And I did a poll to the audience, and I said, should we spend $35,000, I mean, that's crazy, right, to send Alex Stein to Antarctica?
And it was like 95% yes.
And I'm like, hey, look, the people who watch the show and become members at TimCast.com are who pay the bills.
And if they say Alex Stein goes to Antarctica, well then, God willing, we will send that man to Antarctica.
But the only problem is, he's scared.
rob dew
Well, if he's got a Starlink, too, he could stream the whole thing.
tim pool
That's right. And we got Starlink.
We could send him with one. And come on.
What's wrong? Come on, Alex.
He's not going to do it. He won't do it.
phil labonte
I mean, look, he should.
It's a long trip, and you're covering the cost.
hannah claire brimelow
Wasn't it his idea to go?
phil labonte
He can make content, too.
tim pool
I don't think he expected me to say yes.
He's thinking, like, it's $35,000.
No one's going to pay for that.
I was like, I'll do it. It's cool. And he's like, ah, well, you know.
But look, look. If it were up to me, I think there's better things we can do with that much money.
I mean, we could...
I don't know, hire someone to help make clips or something, or maybe do some promos, buy some billboards.
But the audience said 95% they want to see Alex Stein.
And that's what it's all about, right?
phil labonte
Get you a thick jacket, Alex Stein.
tim pool
If he goes in December, it's actually warm.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, so it can get as high as 60 degrees.
What? There you go. Yeah, mid-60s.
phil labonte
You need a light jacket. That's right.
Jump around a little bit, get your sweat up.
tim pool
And that's why you go in the wintertime here, it's summertime down there, so it's day all day.
It's sunny all day.
And not as cold.
So what's the problem?
rob dew
Get that snowmobile, lots of fuel, go.
phil labonte
The problem is it's not very interesting to haze penguins.
tim pool
but he didn't want to listen to and why the Flat Earth stuff,
why they make these mistakes.
And one of them is that there's something called the impossible day or whatever.
There's one day, July 8th or something, where 99% of the world is experiencing
sunlight.
And it's because the majority of people between like the Asian continent are in
daylight.
It's because it is day where most people are, not that the planet is more than 50%
covered in daylight or whatever.
But they misconstrue this and think that it means 90% of the planet is
experiencing sunlight instead of 90% of the population.
And so it's things like this where then people go off and make these crazy videos and misunderstand what they're talking about.
phil labonte
Yeah, I saw a diagram of like a circle around like India and some of Southeast Asia and China.
And it's like two-thirds of the Earth's population lives inside that circle or maybe it was a third or something.
tim pool
It's not just that too, but we have daylight when the sun has set.
Meaning, you look at the horizon, the sun is gone, and you can still, it's still not night, right?
You're at twilight, and the sun is setting.
But you'll still see some daylight.
So, anyway. Alright, we'll grab a couple more Super Chats while we're here.
We've got Peter Gohawk says, we need to send Ian to Florida to stop the hurricane.
Awesome show. Keep up the good work.
Crazy world right now. Yeah, Ian also is convinced he can control the weather, yet he never wants to whenever you need him to.
hannah claire brimelow
Right! I asked him this the other week.
I was like, this is before Helene.
If you can control the weather, why not, buddy?
And he was like, the people can do it themselves.
phil labonte
Oh my god, what a cop-out!
tim pool
What if Ian just shows up drenched in sweat like, it's my fault!
I made Milton!
And then he actually filmed himself meditating in Florida, calling for a hurricane.
phil labonte
He'd be like, get out of here, you drama queen.
rob dew
Is it Oregon? I'm not making this about you.
tim pool
How does he do it? He closes his eyes and he sends his vibrations out into the atmosphere to harp or something.
phil labonte
He lies. He lies. That's what he does.
tim pool
He lies. He genuinely believes.
It's crazy. I texted Luke and he was like, no, for real.
He made the clouds go away.
I was like, no, the clouds weren't going away and then Ian made a weird noise.
unidentified
I'm sorry. I wish it were real.
phil labonte
Use your powers for good, Ian.
tim pool
Thomas Durante says, Hi Tim and all, I'm watching 60 Minutes Behind.
Please read this. I'm in Bradenton, right in the path of Milton.
Send us good thoughts. I grew up here, and this is the first to head right at me.
Heavens! Well, I don't know, man.
I think people should get out if they're saying get out.
hannah claire brimelow
That's what I've always heard, that this area doesn't really get hit by hurricanes the way that we do.
It usually travels up, yeah. And so you must be – I mean I assumed as someone who is not from Florida that all of Florida is semi – is more prepared than most states for a hurricane.
But especially if emergency resources have already been deployed to the other side that was just hit, I can't imagine what's going on there now.
tim pool
We got one last Super Chat.
This is a big one. Dark Sea says, Tim, have you seen the story earlier today that an unmarked helicopter did a low fly pass in Burnsville, North Carolina, destroyed supplies given to survivors?
I saw those videos.
rob dew
There's a bunch of them. You see these? I got some intel on it, actually.
tim pool
Do you know what the helicopter is?
rob dew
Well, apparently it was the National Guard of that state.
It was North Carolina or Tennessee?
I think it was North Carolina. North Carolina. North Carolina.
And they were trying to land.
That's what I talked to a buddy.
And when they stop, they can't really just take off again.
It's not like being anti-gravity.
tim pool
Increases the pressure. So they do that.
rob dew
And so maybe it did look bad.
Because I looked at the video, I'm like, those guys are a-holes.
But I made some calls.
Head lens razor. Some people were like, you know, I think they were National Guard.
They were trying to stop and make a water drop.
They couldn't. But they can't move that fast.
It's a big Black Hawk helicopter.
tim pool
All right, everybody. If you haven't already...
rob dew
The Starlink survived, though. The Starlink survived.
