tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Donald Trump will impose a 104% tariff on China, taking effect at 12.01 a.m.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this is apocalyptic levels of tariffs on China.
		This basically means that all these Chinese made goods in the United States, good luck getting them.
		It's not just more than doubling the cost of goods imported from China.
		But if any components go to China and back or any resources bounce between the two countries, it's going to be even more expensive than that.
		Understand, a large portion of the products we have in the United States we do not make here.
		They are made in China.
		So this is an economic, a global trade nuclear bomb.
		Donald Trump warned China to back down.
		They said no.
		He is going to nuke a large portion of their economy overnight if this takes effect.
		So it's going to get big.
		We'll talk about that, plus the Supreme Court has technically sided with Trump.
		They said that he can deport people under the Alien Enemies Act, but every single individual must get a hearing, which means it's going to be impossible to deport 10 million people.
		It's just not, never going to happen.
		Now, the big controversy here is that Amy Coney Barrett has sided with the liberals once again, and Ann Coulter is now saying to stop voting for women and stop appointing women to anything ever, and sure.
		We'll talk about that.
		Plus, ladies and gentlemen, last night I was not here.
		The show was hosted by Phil as I was in a meeting with the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
		There were several other personalities there.
		Many of their names have been released, and considering that is the fact, people such as Molly Hemingway, Bethany Mandel, Dave Rubin were there as well.
		And, you know, I want to say it was supposed to be what's called Chatham House Rules.
		But when they do these White House influencer meetings, And none of these people know what Chatham House rules means.
		Don't be surprised when the entire meeting is leaked to the press and everything's all wrong.
		So for those that aren't familiar, it basically means you don't talk about whoever's there.
		Whatever information you get is on background and you do not attribute it to anyone.
		If you need an on the record source, they provide one to you where they say we will get a statement to you from an official who can clarify what this means and give you a different quote, but effectively expressing that idea.
		Following this.
		There's fake news.
		They're posting fake news about me.
		So we will talk about the conversation that I had with the Prime Minister and as well as many other people that were there.
		We asked several questions, much of it pertaining to the deep state, potential war with Iran, as well as influence operations.
		Once again, I will state there's a lot of people spreading fake news claiming that I said...
		Cutter was funding influence operations.
		That is fake news.
		It's not true.
		But we'll get into all that, my friends.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Right on.
		Thanks for hanging out.
		That was easy enough.
		Mary's here.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Hi, I'm Mary Morgan.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		You can usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at TimCast, but I'm happy to be back.
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 counter-revolutionary.
unidentified		Let's go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's the news from CBS.
		White House says 104% tariff on China will take effect Wednesday.
		Yo, heads up, everybody.
		I'm willing to bet that if you walk into your kitchen, if you walk into your bathroom and you look at everything, it's all made in China.
		CBS News reports starting tomorrow, the White House will begin collecting steep levies on imported goods from China as President Trump follows through on a threat issued against Beijing on Truth Social Monday.
		Mr. Trump on Monday threatened to slap an additional 50 percent tariff on all imports from China if the nation said it would impose a 34 percent import fee on American products.
		China's retaliatory move came after Mr.
		Trump said China would face a 34 percent tariff on all goods imported to the U.S., a rate tailored specifically to China.
		Trump also said in his Truth Social post the U.S.
		would.
		cease all negotiations with China while proceeding with trade talks with other nations.
		China's Commerce Ministry on Tuesday asserted that Beijing would fight to the end and take countermeasures against the U.S.
unidentified		if Mr.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Trump did not walk back his latest threat.
		So I did a quick search.
		They say 13.4% of all products, all goods in the U.S. were made in China or sourced from China.
		That seems pretty low, but I suppose with over the past 10 or 20 years, you've started to see stuff get made in Vietnam or Bangladesh or some of these other countries, so perhaps it's not as much as we realize, but still a large portion of our goods are made in China.
		Now, here's where it gets crazy.
		A lot of people don't know this.
		You might buy a bicycle, and they say made in the U.S.A.
		If they don't tell you, all the parts came from China.
		And then it comes to a factory or an assembly line where they physically screw the wheels together, put the chain on and say, "Made in America." They don't tell you where the parts are sourced from.
		So there have been NGOs, there have been activists who have been trying to source, they've been trying to create a trail, as it were, saying, "When you buy this computer, here's where all the parts actually come from."
		This is a nuclear So think about computer components.
		Think about vitamin C. Washcloths, t-shirts, whatever it might be that's made in China, it's going to come to shore.
		The company that imports it is going to be told double the cost of that right now.
		A lot of them are going to say they can't do it.
		So I think we're going to see a lot of companies go out of business very quickly.
		There may be panic.
		This is bad.
		But you know, what's funny, Trump's attitude is, I will sacrifice so much to destroy the Chinese economy.
		I think China's going to be well, well, way more Damaged by this than the United States will be.
		And Trump's not somebody you want to play chicken with.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, so if I understand correctly, the number of products that are coming in from China that go into all the type of things that are manufactured here.
		It's going to have significant damage.
		I really do think that one of the things we should have learned from COVID was we should have realized our government should have realized and moved to encourage the U.S. manufacturing base to start We were selling PPE stuff to China, or we were buying PPE stuff from China, and China just shut it down.
		Everyone knows that the vast majority of our pharmaceuticals are made in China.
		There's all kinds of necessary products that are made in China, and whether or not you consider China a rival or openly hostile to the United States doesn't matter.
		These things are things that Americans need, and we shouldn't have to source them from one country.
		Now, granted, we talk about Taiwan and the need for semiconductors for national security because of the military's reliance on them.
		And that's true.
		But again, there is a there is a plan that China has that 2027 they're going to take back Taiwan.
		They say that that China.
		And if that's the case, we've got a year and a half to start sourcing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is shutting down their timeline.
		I don't think Trump backs off this no matter what.
		I think when Trump says if China backs down, he'll not do this or whatever, I think it's BS.
		I think Trump is just trying to find a trade to cast his belly so that he could cut off China and effectively implode their economy.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You know, I mean, China does have significant, you know, they rely on the U.S. for a lot as well, and they've got significant problems.
		They've got a lot of debt.
		They've got an aging, significantly older population than the U.S. So do we.
		Pardon me?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We have all those things, too.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but I mean, China's got one and a half billion people.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		A billion?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We don't know that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Maybe. They have way more than 330 million.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Didn't they end their one-child policy not too long ago?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, because it wasn't working so well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But there are reports that China's been lying about their population.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yep. But even still, they do have significantly more people than we do.
unidentified		What's interesting is, like you said, 13.4% of American imports are from China.
		Conversely, 6.2% of American imports are from China, but 30-35% of Chinese exports are foreign-invested enterprises.
		About 10% of that is American.
		So that's going to be a huge...
		Just based on the fact that...
		30-35% of their economy, and that's one-third of their GDP, is based on foreign investors and foreign enterprises.
		I think that's going to be a huge hit alone.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So 10% of their GDP is exports to the U.S.?
unidentified		No, one-third of their GDP is tied to foreign-invested enterprises.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, and 10% of that?
unidentified		30-35% of Chinese exports are tied to foreign-invested enterprises.
		About 10% of that 30-35% is American.
		Interesting. And that's not even to account for, like, the rest of this 30-35% could be countries we have influence over.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is really interesting, actually, because let's think about it practically.
		There's a company in the United States, and let's say they manufacture lipstick or something.
		I don't know.
		Toys and video games.
		Let's see.
		They say that textiles, furniture, bedding, lamps, toys, games, sports equipment, and other miscellaneous manufactured items amounted to about half.
		53.2 of U.S. imports for that genre of commodities.
		In the United States, if you're selling baseballs, and Trump says 104% tariff on China, Simple.
		You call up a company in Vietnam and say, can you make baseballs?
		We need a shipment ASAP.
		We're cutting off China.
		In China, however, those factories walk in and say, you're all fired.
		We can't sell anymore to the United States.
		Nobody's buying.
		That's why I don't think Trump backs off this.
		I think this was the play all along.
		I think Trump is trying to isolate China.
		That's why these 70 other countries are negotiating and he's cutting trade deals, or he wants to.
		And this tariff on China is basically, we're going to nuke their economy.
		Trump I think he's coming in and he's basically saying we do not want a multipolar world.
		There will be one power on this planet and it will be the United States.
		And Trump's not going to back down from that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I suppose that could be the goal as far as economic powers go.
		There's going to be a lot of pain because of this.
		And I'm not sure.
		Never mind the economic ramifications, but I don't know what's going to happen to the party at all moving forward.
		I don't know if Congress is going to allow this because technically...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What can they do about it?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Congress is who's supposed to actually enact tariffs and stuff like Donald Trump's not supposed to be doing tariffs.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's doing it under a specific provision based on national emergencies.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Fair enough, but Congress can get together and say, hey, you don't have the authority.
		Whether or not you like that or people will like that, they might.
		I don't think so.
unidentified		I mean, we have pretty firm control of Congress right now.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		We have, like, I think there's like two or three people, there's two or three Republican Majority?
		And Thomas Massey doesn't like tariffs.
		I could easily see a couple vulnerable Republicans saying, I don't want my name on this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And don't forget the DEI Republicans that want special permissions for women who could seek out leverage and obstruct whatever they want.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		This isn't me saying that I want this or that I want them to go against Trump.
		I'm just talking about the realities in Congress.
		And we've talked about this.
		You have to make deals because we have thin margins.
		We have very thin majorities.
		So we can talk about what we want Trump to do, but you have to remember the reality in Congress.
		People vote, the voting majority, it's not big, and Republicans do not get in line the way Democrats do.
unidentified		Well, I think like Tim said, a lot of people are going to outsource to Vietnam or other countries like that.
		And I also think that there's going to be a lot of skirting of the system.
		I don't know how Trump's going to respond to it, but we just saw Apple fly in five planes full of iPhones from India to skirt the tariffs.
		And then, in addition, I just think this whole problem just wouldn't even exist if in the 1970s and 80s when all of our corporations started moving to China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, whatever country it is, if we just said, all right.
		So you guys are moving there for slave labor, basically.
		You want to pay people 10 cents an hour to produce whatever you have in a sweatshop.
		If we just said, all right, so let's implement a tariff on these countries that is a counterweight to whatever the difference in labor cost is, but we didn't do that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, shoulda, coulda, woulda.
unidentified		Yeah, exactly.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		But now it is too late, and now we have the gun.
unidentified		What I would say is I think you look back at the 1970s and 80s and it's like, shoulda, woulda, coulda, but the reason we didn't do it is because we were afraid of protectionism.
unidentified		I'm not this huge Raha protectionism guy, but I think that we shouldn't look at a problem that could have been solved with this exact procedure in the past and say, well, we shouldn't do it now because of the implications, because that's what they did in the 1970s and 80s.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean...
		I don't know.
		Obviously, I don't know what's going to happen.
		I do think that Donald Trump is going to stick to his guns.
		It's just my big concern, or most immediate concern, is will Congress allow this to happen?
		Because if people are going to be voting against Donald Trump and people are bummed, if it has a massive effect on the economy, and people are going to vote against Republicans in the midterms because of it, people have a long memory, and if this sets the country into a recession, people are going to be upset.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't think their memory's that long.
		They say that a month is an attorney in politics.
		So if Trump does everything he's doing now and then starts changing the policies a year from now and things start getting better, he wins.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's a lot of ifs.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think it's actually rather simple, in fact.
		This is why it is so important they have the October surprise.
		You put out damaging information in September, ain't nobody going to care come October.
		You want to get all the bad news out.
		Against your political opponent in October so that it's fresh in their minds.
		That's why Trump is taking these actions he's taking right now.
		It's as soon as he can do it, he does it.
		And he wants to make sure that as we go into next year, he's going to have some leeway.
		And if he makes some policies at that point begin to improve things, then people are going to vote Republican in the midterms.
		More importantly, the Republican Congress can come out and say, we turn things around, so vote for us.
		I will say on top of this, however, before we go to the next segment, you know, we're screwed either way.
		Either we do it now or the country implodes.
		Gen Z owns nothing and they are unhappy.
		A new study came out purporting they did a poll of twelve hundred representative sample of the country.
		Fifty five percent of left of center individuals are in favor of assassinations and political violence.
		And this is overwhelming with the younger population who don't own anything and don't believe they have a path toward owning anything.
		And it is the older generation that is living longer and getting all of the political authority.
		So they they're more likely to vote.
		So they get pandered to more often.
		The youth vote doesn't vote.
		So they're not getting it.
		But the youth vote is getting very angry and they live in cardboard boxes.
		I'm being figured if they live in closets in in bachelor apartments and they can't afford to have families.
		A lot of guys are checking out young men.
		And this this means that our social system will implode.
		I wonder if Trump is considering this as he's making these moves.
		What I can say is let's jump to this tweet from our good friend, Kyle Kalinsky, who hates you.
		They hate the working class.
		They hate the American worker in general.
		They call you flyover states.
		And Kyle Kalinsky posted this video, which is going viral, of factory workers.
		This is it.
		Let me play the video for you.
		Ah Here's a fat middle-aged guy sewing some shorts or some other shirt.
		Some fat, obese American women sewing things.
		Here's a guy making some bras.
		Some white people making phones.
		That's crazy.
unidentified		Make America great again, it says.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And the left is laughing.
		They love it.
		There's another meme that they share where it's a guy in a mega hat.
		Wearing a ribbon that says, fell for it again, who says, wait a minute, there's a mistake.
		I thought I was going to own the factory and be rich as Trump pumps a shotgun and says, sew the effing socks.
		This is what they think about you.
		The American workers who work in factories or who wish their factories remained open that were outsourced to foreign countries.
		The example that I've been citing consistently now is the MyPillow factory.
		You got a bunch of workers at the MyPillow factory who love their jobs and they're making socks.
		And they're making pillows.
		And the American liberal is making fun of these people with AI-generated memes, mocking the idea that Americans would want to work a job that pays well.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, I don't think that Americans would not want to work a job that pays well, but I do think that the idea of returning the factory jobs...
		I mean, you were talking about this the other night.
		I don't think factory jobs...
		On this, you know, this type of factory jobs are coming back to the U.S. Why not?
		I mean, you were saying the other night that you don't think that they're bringing back these kind of jobs back here.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What specifically did I say?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't remember exactly what it was, but we were talking about...
		Re-onshoring jobs.
		And I forget who the guest was, but you were saying...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Gen Z is not going to do these jobs because they have ego problems.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, I don't think boomers...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		They're already in the service industry, Gen Z. I think it depends on where you're...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Sorry. Well, I mean, I don't think that that's necessarily true because Gen Z is overwhelmingly in the service industry.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You think Gen Z would work factory jobs like this?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Especially if it paid better.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think the issue with with Gen Z is even if you were to work one of these jobs, your ability to buy a house to own stocks or any kind of wealth building doesn't exist.
		I mean, it is it is it has been largely wiped out.
		The challenge is if you're if you're a boomer right now and I know not all boomers are wealthy.
		I think like boomers all typically own their house.
		they own about 60% of corporate equities stocks and mutual funds and things like this why are they going to sell it?
		so what happens is a Gen Z kid might get a job at this factory maybe it pays him $50,000, $60,000 a year and then he says okay I've got some money I want to buy some stocks and the boomer is like I ain't selling for that I want more money I don't need to sell it.
		I can liquidate.
		I'm okay.
		I've got my retirement.
		I don't need to sell to you, young man.
		And so that young person's like, even when I do have some leftover money, I can barely buy any stocks that move the needle.
		So what are they going to do?
		I think the issue that we have is not to say that all of Gen Z has ego problems.
		I think it's a spiritual problem.
		It's that what am I going to accomplish?
		Better yet, to quote the Simpsons, how are we going to catch up to the rest of the class by going slower than they are?
		And that's the issue.
		I think there's going to be a...
		Let's imagine that nothing changes right now.
		Everything that we're doing, we keep doing.
		Nobody has actually...
		I've not seen anybody talk about the impending wealth collapse and monetary collapse of the United States.
		When boomers transfer their houses, when they die, and millennials and older Gen Z begin to inherit these homes, the value of those homes will drop by 70% or so.
		It's pretty simple math.
		Boomers all buy houses.
		And some of them actually have investment properties.
		I know not all boomers do.
		I'm just saying.
		I think it's like 90% of boomers own homes.
		70-something percent of Gen X owns homes.
		50% of millennials own homes.
		And I think only a tiny fraction of Gen Z actually owns homes.
		A boomer owns, let's say they own one house.
		And that house is worth $700,000 because the prices are going nuts.
		They live in a suburban area outside of Chicago or something.
		They die.
		That house goes to their millennial kids who say, I don't want to move to the suburbs of Chicago.
		I moved out.
		I live in New York.
		They call an agent and say, sell the property.
		The agent says, okay, I'll put it on the market.
		Estimated value, $700,000.
		You think a millennial or a Gen Z-er is going to be able to buy that?
		Nope. How are they going to raise $140,000 for a down payment on one of those houses?
		Not going to happen.
		So the agent says, we can't get any offers.
		So they say, okay, well then lower the price.
		What do you think we can get for it?
		And like, I don't know, we'll put it at six.
		No offers.
		Five. No offers.
		Four. No offers.
		Three. No offers.
		Gen Z doesn't have money to put a down payment on a house.
		The median 401k retirement for a millennial right now, mind you, who is 40 years old, is $15,000 to $20,000.
		You ain't retiring off that.
		And Gen Z, they have something like 5,000, if they do even have one.
		I think only 30% actually do, and it's microscopic.
		So how are they, look, millennials are 40 years old, and half of them own.
		And I mean that with no disrespect, but when they start aging out and passing on.
		the properties and the equities and everything they hold transfer to the younger generation, that is erased overnight because no one can buy it.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		And if there's no demand and no ability Right. It reminds me of these practically ghost towns in Japan where they're outside of the city because this is mostly because of their low birth rates.
		They... These older people die and they own homes outside of cities and they either don't have children to inherit them or the children they had, the one or two children they had, are not interested in owning those homes.
		And now they're just ghost towns and a lot of Westerners are interested in buying those homes because they're incredibly cheap.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I've seen some of that.
unidentified		The solution is providing them jobs like this.
		I actually think a lot of Gen Zers will take jobs like this, especially the further out from the city you get.
		I also think there's a problem with not teaching Gen Zers fiscal responsibility or now even younger kids.
		I have a lot of friends, I'm Gen Z, so I have a lot of friends who just have either no job or screw around jobs where they're not actually real jobs.
		But if you provide them jobs like this, I mean, I'm from like the sticks in upstate New York on the Canadian border and everybody wants to work up there.
		When I was in high school, everybody wanted to work on a farm when they're 14, like they're itching to work.
		And that's not the same for the cities.
		And the closer you get to the cities, it's not so much like this, but there are definitely Gen Zers, like I think a high number of them that would take factory jobs.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's another scenario.
		When the millennials inherit the homes and then put them on the market, BlackRock buys them up.
		Right. And then you will own nothing and you will live in the pods and you will eat the bugs.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		You're talking about the factories being in the right places.
		The problem is Gen Z wants to live in either suburban or urban areas so that they can have opportunities for consumption that are actually accessible to them because obviously they don't have the capital to buy homes and make investments.
		The only consumption that's accessible to them is...
		Basically DoorDash and streaming services.
		So they want to live in or near cities.
		So are the factories going to be in or near cities?
		I don't think so.
unidentified		I think you put them in places where the culture is working.
		So like I come from a mining town.
		Everyone. Not everyone.
		I shouldn't say everyone.
		But a lot of people, when they get to like a legal working age, like 18 to, you know, they're out of high school, 18 to 25, whatever, they go and work in the mines.
		And they're happy to do that and they love it because they're making good money, whatever.
		So you have to put them in places where the culture is to work.
		And I think when you put the factories in those places, the town around it will develop on its own.
		And it's not like a mine where I'm from.
		The mine dries up, the town goes to crap.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, I think the issue largely is that Younger generations, starting with probably to a smaller degree Gen X, to a greater degree Millennials, to a great degree Millennials, and then to an even greater degree Gen Z, the older generation continually treats the younger generation like incompetent children incapable of doing anything.
		So whereas a 22-year-old man should be either running his own shop, Or the manager of a business, or doing a mid-level position with starting out as family, buying his first home, having kids.
		Today, in the news, in the media, in our culture, they will say a 22-year-old is a child.
		Like a 22-year-old, fully grown adult human being, and they treat him like a child.
		And so we don't have...
		How many Gen Z politicians are there?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't think...
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		A handful.
unidentified		People run for stuff.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Who's that chick with the keffiyeh?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But she's not in.
		Is Jasmine Crockett?
		I don't think she's Jasmine Crockett.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure how old Jasmine Crockett is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How many millennial are there?
		A greater number now, but I would say massively delayed.
		And part of it is they say that when the...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		There's a 170% increase in Gen Z lawmakers taking office as of 2023.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But what does that mean?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Is that state reps or is that in Congress?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And how many of them are communists?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Probably most.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A lot of them, I'd imagine.
		So, look, my view is when you see these stories of 30-year-old virgins, we had a movie that came out, what was it, 10, 15 years ago called The 40-Year-Old Virgin?
		And it was like, ha ha ha, how funny of this guy who, like, never had it happen for him.
		Now we have increasing reports that young men have isolated themselves, and there's, like, early 30s virgin men.
		You know, and again, I always mention this because Seamus Coughlin said, based at that story, because he's thinking it from a religious perspective, and I'm like, bro, no.
		They should have been married at 22. Only one?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Only Maxwell Frost, who's a Democrat from Florida's 10th congressional district.
		He was first elected in 2022.
		At the age of 25, he remains the only Gen Z member in the 119th Congress.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		To be fair, I mean, I think the oldest Gen Z is, what, 27?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I think so.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure.
unidentified		There's a good amount in, like, state politics, I think.
unidentified		Yeah, I'm looking at the state reps.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Largely what I mean is industry is, like, the boomer generation is not letting go.
		And it's because they're living longer.
		People used to die and retire much earlier.
		Now the retirement age is getting pushed.
		People are living longer.
		I'm not saying this to disrespect you boomers, but boomers are not letting go of their wealth and property and assets.
		So millennials have accrued very little.
		Gen Z has accrued much less.
		And still, Gen Z and millennials look up to boomers who are past retirement age by now.
unidentified		I think it also goes back to, like I said...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Everyone forgets Gen X, by the way.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's why I didn't mention them.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		We're quiet.
unidentified		Fiscal education in school.
		Another problem is Gen Zers do have some degree of money.
		It's not a lot, but they're also not taking any of their money and investing it.
		They're not taking any of their money and doing anything with it that will cause that money to grow over time because they're not taught to do that, which is a problem.
		Because if you don't start saving for retirement until you're 45 years old, you're probably not going to be retiring at the age of 65. Look, Let me just round out this segment by saying millennials can't retire.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's no reality where a millennial retires.
		None. Me?
		Well, I don't care.
		I imagine I'll end up like 80 years old doing some kind of show to a bunch of other 80-year-olds going like, yeah, I was watching the news on the virtual thing today.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, we're already complaining about the kids, so I'd be complaining about the kids.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You're on my lawn again!
		But look, man, when I pulled up the data today, because I was looking at the left.
		The youth left overwhelmingly pro-violence.
		And I saw that the median 401k for a millennial is $15,000 to $20,000.
		I was like, alright, let's put that into wealth management with a historic return of 7%, where you can extract about 3% without hurting your principal.
		3%. So you're going to have a couple hundred, $600?
		Or was that six, yeah, $600 a year?
		You're pulling 3%, you get $600.
		Good luck.
		20,000.
		Wow. You ain't going anywhere with that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No, people are going to be working until, you know, forever.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		50 bucks a month?
		Yeah, until they're dead.
		And I got to tell you, it's going to be really weird.
		Although one thing that could happen is a slingshot effect where when the boomers start passing on and millennials all start absorbing.
		All of this wealth, instantly, all at once, in a tidal wave, and they're all going to be probably 65 years old, because, let's be real, I mean, people are living longer.
		Instantly, overnight, they're going to have access to all of this stuff.
		They can trade it amongst themselves, I guess, and then they'll just hold it, but then they're not long for this mortal coil, and then it's going to be just wealth continually accrued by the older and older generations until the whole thing just breaks.
		I guess we'll see.
		Yeah. Let's jump to this next story from NPR.
		Supreme Court backs Trump in controversial deportations case.
		The gist of the story is that Trump can deport these, uh, Trend de Aragua and whatever under the Alien Enemies Act.
		However, anyone being deported must at least be able to get a habeas hearing, meaning they can challenge their detention, which is, uh, weird.
		This is not a victory for Trump.
		Sure, you can deport people, but good luck.
		You ain't deporting 10 million people when all of them want a hearing.
		The court system will implode.
		And then they've created, Democrats have created a de facto second-class citizenship in this country.
		On top of that, Amy Coney Barrett has betrayed the right once again, siding with the liberals to say, no, Trump can't deport people.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, Amy Coney Barrett is not a reliable conservative.
		And that's not, I mean, that's, you know, obviously that's...
		That's one of the more obvious statements I think I've ever made.
		But people shouldn't expect anything less from her because she has a history of not being reliable.
		And we were talking about this last night.
		The Democrats always, you can always figure out where they're going to come down.
		They almost never surprise anybody.
		You know, Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett and sometimes Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
		Well, not so much Kavanaugh, but sometimes Gorsuch surprises people.
		And I really do think it's because they're real judges as opposed to ideologues.
unidentified		Do you remember when Amy Coney Barrett was the evil Wicked Witch of the West, though, and she was a Trump loyalist and everyone hated her?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Ann Calder says, All the ladies, Republicans, please stop voting for, electing, or nominating women for anything.
		Will you never learn?
		You know, I gotta be honest.
		Why did Trump nominate Amy Coney Barrett?
		I think, like, Mike Cernovich...
		Weren't, like, Cernovich and Posobiec both saying, like, uh-oh?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, yeah, but Trump's a boomer.
		I mean, when a lot ask...
		Donald Trump, what is a woman?
		The responses that he gave were all the responses that you would expect someone that grew up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He said someone who's much smarter than me.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Exactly. Exactly.
		He did.
		He was doing the whole, you know, playing the, well, you know, shucks, girls are powerful and blah, blah, blah.
		He was doing that.
		And it's because of his age.
		It's because of when he grew up.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Is he a feminist?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't think.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Is Trump a feminist?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He absolutely is, yes.
		He is a second-wave feminist.
		He's famous for appointing, I think, the first female skyscraper foreperson or something like this for a contract company.
		Trump very much continually puts women in positions of power.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He should stop doing that.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't think you have to be a feminist to do that, though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But this is second-wave feminism.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		It is feminism.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You go back to when Trump was a kid, there were concerns about giving a woman the lead role in building a skyscraper.
		Nobody would do it.
		Trump did.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		So you think that if...
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		To be considered not a feminist, you have to do things like say, no, I won't hire a woman for that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes. Really?
		Look at first wave feminism.
		Women can vote.
		Second wave, women should be in the workplace and running the show.
		Third wave was when it got weird, you know, intersectional stuff.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Women aren't women.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now that's fourth.
		Now women aren't women.
		Fourth or fifth generation or whatever.
		I think it's fourth wave.
		Third wave was the intersectional weird equity stuff.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Third wave was like all sex is rape.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		The fourth wave was women aren't women.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The second wave was literally give women leadership roles.
		Make them girl bosses.
		And Trump was one of the leaders of that.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Girl boss president.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Trump bragged about it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think he said the first person to put a woman in charge of building a skyscraper.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's my intuition that Trump wants people to like him so much that he does things that he thinks people will like.
		And I don't think that it's about ideology.
		I don't think that it's about, oh, I'm a feminist and I believe in blah, blah, blah.
		I think it's all about people will like me if I hire women because people want to see women in these positions.
		Not that Trump hasn't committed to it.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		It's both because, I mean, that type of second wave feminist ideology was really ingrained into his generation.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Maybe. Something he wouldn't even second guess.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's take a look at this Wikipedia page that's pulled up.
		Barbara Ress.
		Let's see.
		Let's go back real quick.
		She was the first woman to oversee a major NYC construction site working with Trump.
		That's amazing.
		She helped build Trump Tower between 80 and 84. Is that what that says?
		She was born...
		Where's the works here?
		Let's get the...
unidentified		Where's that quote?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's try and get the...
		I don't care about her book.
		Here you go.
		They just talk about this, blah, blah, blah.
		As Ress joined the Trump Organization in 1980 and then worked for Trump over the course of 18 years as a vice president, senior vice president and executive vice president.
		Ress was hired by Trump to lead construction on Trump Tower as vice president in charge of construction when she was 31 years old and helped build Trump Tower between 1980 and 1984.
		Ress was the first woman to oversee a major New York City construction site and worked with Trump on some of its biggest projects, including renovation of New York's Plaza Hotel.
		Now, how did she reward two decades of service helping Donald Trump build all of these things?
		She has spoken out publicly against Donald Trump, particularly about his treatment of women.
		She released a memoir, Tower of Lies, what my 18 years of working with Trump reveals about him.
		Indeed. She apparently has gone on speaking publicly against Trump and his treatment of women in opinion articles in the New York Daily News, The Guardian, CNN, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, appearing on MSNBC.
		So that's Trump for you.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		So what did she say?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Did she say that Trump mistreated her?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She described, let's see, the Washington Post described how Russ's description of her experience at the Trump Organization offered support for Bob Woodward's book, Fear.
		And at the time, blah, blah, blah, both works to grab the president, a president whose orders are not always carried out by those around him.
		I don't know.
		She's unfit for office, whatever.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He also really liked promoting female entrepreneurs on The Apprentice.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He has a history of being a...
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I strongly feel like that's because he gets the pats on the back.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He loves powerful Slavic women.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Like I said the other day, if the Democrats had kissed his butt when he got into office in 2016, he would have switched sides in a second because he's a people pleaser.
		It's not that he has some kind of deep, or at least it's not my sense that he has some kind of deep belief that women have been oppressed and he needs to do this and blah blah blah.
		It's about...
		If I do this, people will like me.
		So I don't consider...
		I mean, maybe you can call that feminism or whatever, but it's not like he's got some kind of ideological disposition towards it.
		It's just, how do I get people to pat me on the back and say, good Trump?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		I mean, an ideological disposition only insofar as he is a boomer.
		And all boomers have that.
		Almost all boomers have that ideological disposition.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There was that one story.
		I can't remember exactly how it went, but he was at a meeting and like his lawyer walks in the room and it's this young busty woman or whatever.
		And the guys were like they asked him something about if she was good at her job.
		And then he made a comment about her looks.
		I can't remember the exact story.
		Yeah, he said something like, I don't know, but look at her.
		You know what I mean?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's great.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		You could say things like that back then.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I wonder if Trump thought by nominating Amy Coney Barrett, it would...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Be an easier confirmation because she's a woman.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		It's kind of a win with the religious right because everyone was so excited about the possibility of overturning Roe v.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Wade with her.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She did.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah. Yeah.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		To her credit, she did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But I think what's happened is over the past couple of years, she's terrified of being murdered and that, you know, some guy showed up to kill Kavanaugh.
		I think she's freaked out by it and she doesn't want to do it anymore.
		I think, you know, maybe she should resign right now.
		Then Trump can appoint somebody else.
		I mean, look, if you're scared and you don't want to do the job, resign.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		If she resigned and gave Trump what likely will be three appointments, I'm all for it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think there's a strong possibility that she is scared because you look at how she voted to overturn Roe v.
		Wade and that was one of the most consequential rulings of our generation.
		And now she's...
		With this ruling she did with the Supreme Court, she only backed half of their dissent.
		She's terrified to do anything meaningful at this point.
		She's just like, please just leave everything alone.
		Clearly she's scared.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Resigning wouldn't realistically...
unidentified		Trump would fill the vacancy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Trump would then appoint Clarence Thomas as clone.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		If she's scared for her personal safety and her family's safety...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Resigning wouldn't necessarily solve that problem for her.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Out of sight, out of mind.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		I guess.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's going to reduce it 80% overnight.
		And then she's gone.
		But yeah, I mean...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		I'm surprised that Trump chose a man for his VP this time around, actually.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Why's that?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		A lot of people were saying it was going to be Tulsi Gabbard.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I don't know.
		That doesn't make sense.
		J.D. Vance made sense.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He's... I'm just surprised for all the...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He wants to be liked and he would probably think that appointing a female VP is a way to be liked.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I would have described, I think I did describe J.D. Vance as like vanilla pudding.
		You know what I mean?
		Like, it's good.
		Nobody complains about it.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He's like a donut, whatever makes sense.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I say vanilla pudding because it's kind of like this very boring but good dessert, you know?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I would revise that and say, as we've seen him act, I'd now describe him as a vanilla pudding with sprinkles on top.
unidentified		I actually think J.D. Vance is astounding, actually.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I think he's fantastic.
unidentified		He's great at debating.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Which dessert do you think he is?
unidentified		I think he's like a big chocolate pie.
		He's awesome.
		Maybe an Oreo pie?
		Another great thing is J.D. Vance is the embodiment of the American dream.
		He grew up poor in Appalachia with a...
		Drug addict mother, and now he's the Vice President of the United States.
		He put himself through Yale, graduated summa cum laude.
		He's awesome.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So he's a homemade vanilla pudding with sprinkles and chocolate chips and whipped cream.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe a cherry as well.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He's probably more America first than Donald Trump is.
		Yeah. I think Donald Trump, he looks at the economy and...
		He'll look at that first, whereas I think that J.D. Vance would say, no, I don't think the economy is the most important thing.
		The well-being of the American people is the most important thing.
		And granted, they're strongly linked, but they're not...
		Exactly the same thing.
unidentified		Look at the way he went on Zelensky.
		And Zelensky started that, for sure.
		But, like, I mean, he was ready to go, and for sure, I think he's probably more America First.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's jump to this next story.
		Ladies and gentlemen, as the, I believe, what were these protesters?
		Pro-Palestine protests?
		Hands off or something?
		People began to throw garbage from their building at the protesters, and we have the video.
		Don't do this.
		This is super illegal.
		So you've got...
		Yeah, I think it's pro-Palestine protests.
		We are watching the video.
		Garbage is flying out of buildings at the pro-Palestinian protesters.
unidentified		This is in New York.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People don't really like these people.
unidentified		It's bad to do this, but holy crap, is it funny.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, don't do it.
		It's like insane felony territory.
		People could get hurt, man.
		But they're getting drenched in garbage juice.
		That's the worst thing.
		You know, taking the garbage out and the garbage water comes out.
		They're covered in it.
		I wonder what they must be thinking when they're like, people are throwing garbage on us as we march.
		Do they think they're...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		They're doing something right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, there's more?
unidentified		Wow, they are hucking garbage at these people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Holy crap.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You shouldn't throw anything.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, whoa, they broke the window.
		Look at this.
		Yo, they shattered somebody's window, man.
		That's not okay.
		It's crazy.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's bad to throw things out of high rack.
unidentified		I think there's a banana.
unidentified		Man, that's messed up because the dude...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Whose car got his windshield shattered?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's not a protester.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He's not, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's just some guy's car.
unidentified		This is New York.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's how crazy things are getting.
		Well, I tell you what, man.
		People don't like these protests.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		People are getting sick and tired of the leftist protest.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Phil, did you ever figure out what was going on in D.C. the other day?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		We came out to D.C. to look at cherry blossoms and all of these crazy people everywhere.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Was it Sunday or Saturday?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		It was Saturday.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It was the nationwide hands-off protest.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They were in Charlestown too.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		There was another one that I think were Sikhs and they were not affiliated with the hands-off protest.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		The people with Palestinian flags just kind of approached them and acted like they were the same thing.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		But then there were other not even affiliated protesters who just wanted to wear fishnets.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Did you see the video where the guy showed up to the hands-off protest carrying a sign that said Free Diddy?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Our favorite sign actually was a couple.
		And one said, make lying illegal.
		And then their compatriots said, trans rights are human rights.
		Yeah. Something like that.
		I'm just like, you're complaining about lying while you're hanging out with a person that thinks that trans people are real.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's another nation.
		Yeah, here we go.
		We got this nationwide anti-Trump protests are planned for the 19th.
		The April 5th hands-off protest, blah, blah, blah.
		They're doing an all-50 state anti-Trump protest.
		You know, whatever, man.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		That's how I felt.
		I was like, I'm not even mad.
		I just kind of feel sorry for you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, we were talking just a moment ago about how Gen Z is listless, but the funny thing is, most of these protests are boomers.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Oh no, I saw like old ladies with purple hair.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's all boomers.
unidentified		That's what it was.
unidentified		Trump stuff is, yeah.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's all old people.
unidentified		The Palestine stuff are younger.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Younger, right.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		In fact, when I approached one group in Charlestown, I noticed that most of them were kind of gray-haired old ladies.
		And she was saying to me, oh, I'm so glad you showed up.
		Like, we need young people, blah, blah, blah.
		And I was like, honestly, I think you're kind of out of touch.
		And I'm looking behind you and there are all these, no offense, but you're older.
		And I completely disagree with everything you're saying.
unidentified		That should tell you something.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		And they believe that young people are on their side, too, even though the young people aren't showing up.
unidentified		That should tell you something, though.
		The young people who are out doing the anti-Israel stuff, they're leftists.
		The old people are Democrats, right?
		They're against Trump, but the younger people are leftists.
		I did a lot of work like inside these anti-Israel protest encampments, and the second most common symbol inside of all of them, I went to Berkeley, Irvine, UCLA, Georgia, and I think those are all the encampments I went to.
		The most common symbol on the inside of these encampments is the hammer and sickle, other than the Palestinian flag.
		That's the most common, second most common symbol.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, how long until we start seeing people on the right join them?
unidentified		That's a great question.
unidentified		I think it's probably already happening.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Under the hammer and sickle, you think?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, the interesting thing is the anti-Israel sentiment we're starting to see from a lot of prominent personalities.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So at what point do members of their audience say, I'm going to go out and actually join these protests?
unidentified		I think that anti-Israel sentiment has bled into sympathy for the left, actually.
		Maybe not sympathy, but a lot of right-wingers, right-wingers, who have started being anti-Israel have become, have adopted sort of like leftist tendencies, I think.
		They start to steer their audience in the direction of leftism.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, you do get a lot of the same kind of...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Don't worry, I got you guys.
		Here you go.
		The real horseshoe theory.
unidentified		I hate lumping these guys in with the right, though, because they're not actually right-wing, right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, what is this?
		This is so weird.
		Yeah, this is funny, though.
		For real.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		When you say sympathy for the left, like, which issues, then?
unidentified		Well, here's a great example.
		Candace Owens, on her podcast, she debated, I forget who it was, but they were talking about East Jerusalem.
		They're talking about the difference between the Muslim, Arab, Jewish, and why am I blanking, Armenian quarters.
		Four quarters of the Old City of East Jerusalem, and she's basically like, I was there with the rabbi who took me around, and the signs say, no, Arabs can't leave.
		They have to live here.
		The Muslims have to live in the Muslim quarter, which is not true.
		I've been to Jerusalem.
		There is no division between the quarters.
		There are Muslims wearing hijab in the Jewish quarter.
		There are Jews wearing kippah in the Muslim quarter.
		There's no division.
		There's Muslim-owned businesses in the Jewish quarter, and they sell kosher here and non-kosher here, and the Jews buy it.
		No division.
		She was corrected on that by whoever she was debating and basically told that she was lying.
		She continued to parrot that talking point afterwards.
		But what she appealed to is, and by the way, this is the woman who built her career on the whole Blexit, racism isn't real, don't let people convince you you're a victim.
		Well, I just see that and I think of the Jim Crow South and my grandparents built up in that.
		It's like, that's not necessarily a left or right issue because left and right is an economic axis, not a social one.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's not true.
unidentified		What do you think?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, I didn't interrupt you, and I don't mean to be disrespectful, but left and right refers to the cultural tribes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There's left economics and right economics, but typically in this country when they say left and right, it incorporates the components of the umbrella factions.
unidentified		Yes, yes, yes, yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So, race, economics could apply to each other.
		When you say right, the reason it doesn't make sense is the authoritarian right is not free market.
		But the libertarian right is.
unidentified		I actually tend to believe that there's no such thing as a libertarian left.
		And I think that like – so when you look at like the actual axis of authoritarian, libertarian, right and left, and we probably won't get anywhere with this conversation.
		But like generally in the past at least – and I agree with you when we talk about right and left in the United States, we're referring to tribes.
		Yes. But, like, traditionally, right and left is an economic axis.
		The further left you go, the closer to communism are.
		The further right you go, the closer to anarcho-capitalism.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I gotta correct you on that one.
unidentified		What's that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The left and right axis refers to the monarchy versus the revolution in France.
unidentified		Originally, yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So it wasn't necessarily economic.
		It was power-structured based.
		And so...
		Left and right has typically referred to the factions in opposition.
		Status quo, traditionalism versus progressivism.
		The reason why it was associated with economics for a while is because the only real divisions we had were economic.
		We largely agreed on cultural issues.
		I would say there is a libertarian left, and it's like hippies living on a farm.
		You never hear from them.
		You have 20 hippies on a farm sharing watermelon with each other nobody cares about.
		That's libertarian left.
		The problem was when they started massing into large numbers and then start demanding you join the commune, which you don't want to do, then they become tankies.
		Sure. But, you know, the action never really made sense left and right economically because the authoritarian far right has nothing to do with free markets.
unidentified		Exactly. That's my point.
		And also, conversely, the libertarian left, you cannot have communism or socialism, whatever you want to call it, because depending on what parts of Marx you've read.
		You can't have socialism and libertarianism.
		You can't have free markets or, I guess, liberalism in socialism.
		Because in order to uphold a socialist system, you need authority to prevent capitalists from going in the woods and starting markets in your country.
		You need an authority structure.
		You need a government to prevent all these things they don't want.
		They want to abolish money.
		How are you going to abolish money if you don't have a government?
		You need somebody to enforce the abolition of money.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, otherwise people will just keep trading.
		Exactly. And you can't do anything about it.
		I would say that...
		I didn't see the debate between Candace and whoever she was debating.
		But the interesting thing is, the modern left today wants the Jim Crow self.
		Yeah. That's the problem that we all have with the left.
		So, you know, if Candace is saying, I don't know if she, look, I don't know exactly what she said about the separation or whatever, but in a general manner, saying, I look at separation and I think of the Jim Crow self is a critique of the left today.
unidentified		Right. But this...
		So the left today wants the Jim Crow South in a different context.
		They want it where...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, no.
unidentified		You think it's the same...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What's the guy's name?
		Derek Bell?
		I think his name was?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		What are you...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		Was that his name?
		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		Derek Bell.
		He's the civil rights activist lawyer who was one of the principal authors of critical race theory who argued that Plessy versus Ferguson was decided wrong and that...
		Yeah, segregation should remain and all of those things.
		Many of these individuals have argued that during the BLM protests, during the Michael Brown protests before all the Trayvon Martin stuff, they had a letter they were circulating that outright said the end of segregation was a mistake because it forced black-owned businesses, which were smaller in wealth, underneath the white industries.
		And segregation was better because they had their own wealth, their own luxuries.
unidentified		I've not heard this.
		The most common context I've heard it in is like, we want a black space where we eliminate whites from the space, and it seems almost like when you see that photo of the water fountains in Jim Crow era, the black one is obviously crappier, and it seems like they want that to be the white one.
		That's what I see the most common, but...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I'm sure there are people who want benefits for themselves, but we just had Trevor Noah a couple months ago, I think it was, or, you know, he was arguing that segregation was a good thing.
		And he said the problem with American segregation was that the black people had lesser.
		But if you had true equality in segregation, he was for it.
		And that's the problem with these woke leftists.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's something that there have been a lot of college campuses that have groups that are saying, well, we need spaces that are specifically for POC.
		There was the Day of Absence at Evergreen College in, I think it was Oregon.
		And the point was to say it used to be where...
		People of color and black students wouldn't go to school, so that way the white students would notice their absence.
		But it turned into they didn't want white people going to school on those days.
		And this was happening in, I think, 2017, 18, 19. This was before your average normie knew what woke was.
		So the idea of segregation on the left is absolutely real.
		There are a lot of people that want it.
		They're the quote unquote progressives.
		And they're the people that, you know, if they're not moderated by government or whatever, they would they would be all for any kind of discrimination against white people because they they look at it as what's his name?
		The Abram Kendi guy.
		He was saying that, you know, the cure for past for past bigotry is not bigotry, but the discrimination is discrimination.
		Now this cure, the cure for discrimination now is discrimination in the future.
unidentified		I guess...
unidentified		Ferguson was decided wrong.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		One of the principal authors of the book Critical Race Theory, Derek Bell, argued this.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		I agree.
		I know.
		But what I'm saying is, like, I think most commonly what I see is sort of like a rebranding of segregation.
		They want this new segregation that's really the same thing, but then they always beckon back to, At least I'm talking about, like, the whatever, like, Gen Z leftists, right?
		But they always still beckon back to the Jim Crow South or slavery or whatever it was, past oppressions, to justify what they want to do now.
		And that's kind of a big problem I have with what Candace was saying and appealing to.
		Look at how terrible, you know, people that look like me were treated in America, and now they're doing it in Israel, which just isn't true.
		And she's lying about it to push, you know, propaganda.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, let's jump this story, because currently there is fake news about me, so last night I wasn't here.
		I got a late word that I was invited to a private roundtable meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
		It was under what's called Chatham House rules.
		For those that are not familiar, this means that you cannot reveal anybody who attended nor attribute anything to any one individual as they can deny it.
		And they would.
		However, what I love about what the White House is currently doing, when you bring together a bunch of influencers and podcasters who don't know much about journalism, culture, whatever you want to call it, not that we respect it tremendously, most people didn't know what Chatham House meant.
		So with all due respect, it's funny because they bring us into the Blair House, which is where Netanyahu was staying.
		And immediately people are walking around with their cameras, their phones up.
		They actually took our phones from us.
		And I legit thought they would maintain Chatham House rules, meaning – If you wanted an official quote on a specific matter, you would then ask an official once the meeting was wrapped and they'd provide you the exact quote.
		Or they would just say outright, like, we ain't putting our quotes on that one.
		So the story that comes out, which basically violated whatever, I was going to talk about what we, like, we went there for a reason.
		This story from Jewish Insider says, Netanyahu pushes back on anti-Israel trends in a meeting with podcasters.
		I don't know if the individual who wrote this, Lahav Harkov, was actually there, but this is wrong.
		It's fake news.
		And people are now spreading fake news about me because I'm going to go ahead and say as arrogantly as I can to everyone else who was there.
		I hope you all hear me because I'm saying this somewhat facetiously.
		I think I was the only one that asked a real question.
		Now that I've pissed off all the other journalists and individuals who were there, Most people were asking what I would describe as, I don't know, I felt like pretty obvious questions.
		Is there going to be a war with Iran?
		Do you think the nuclear talks are going to be good?
		That Trump is going to be talking with you?
		Will it work out for you?
		What's the concern?
		What's going on with your prime ministership or whatever?
		And you get these answers that I really felt like you could have just got a Fox News.
		You know, the prime minister is going to get asked about this stuff.
		He's going to say, I can't speak too much on the nuclear deals, blah, blah, blah.
		Considering this was Chatham House and it was expected whatever he said was going to come out, I didn't see anything really substantive.
		However, in the story they say, Poole expressed concerns about increased anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the pro-Trump podcasting space, according to sources in the room.
		So they weren't there.
		Poole famously had Kanye West on his podcast and the rapper walked out mid-interview after Poole pushed back against anti-Semitic comments.
		Responding to Poole, Netanyahu said that the reason he invited the group is to meet with him.
		To me?
		Poole argued that there is a Qatari op to manipulate social media algorithms to make anti-Semitic and anti-Israel episodes appear to receive far more views than, say, tips for picking up women in order to incentivize podcasters and YouTubers to produce more anti-Semitic content.
		Netanyahu, however, was noncommittal in his response, saying that's only possible.
		Fake news!
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		How dare you, Tim.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Absolute fake news.
		It's close to reality, but this is what they do, okay?
		First, the person who was there clearly wasn't there.
		Ask somebody who then conveyed incorrectly what I actually said.
		I said there has been a report released from pro-Israel sources alleging Qatar is funding bots and operations to promote anti-Israel content.
		Is there any evidence that's true?
		And he said, I don't know.
		It's possible.
		That's what happened.
		I did not say they actually were doing that because I don't know that they're actually doing it.
		However, I did to a variety of people express what I've expressed on this show, that there are clearly bots that are.
		That is not to say that people who are critical of Israel don't exist or that no one is critical of Israel.
		People certainly are.
		So my concern was, and I will say this too, speaking about the meeting, how they discussed Iran, the threat, and all of these things, I feel, based on that meeting, and I don't know if this was their intention or otherwise, that they are absolutely clueless as to what is going on in this country.
		They are too heavily focused on kinetic, on-the-ground Israel issues, which I can understand, I guess.
		And my attitude, and I'll tell you one thing I said to them, to these officials.
		In 10 years, your support from the U.S. will be evaporating.
		And in 20 years, you will not have U.S. support.
		That's what I said.
		And I stand by that.
		I don't know.
		You know, when it came to talks about Iran, certainly there was a deep concern.
		And the general conveyance from the Israelis was Iran says death to America.
		You are their principal target.
		They are upset that the U.S. is exerting power in the region, which they want to exert.
		So they're coming for you.
		Israel's an ally of the United States.
		Israel's an enemy of Iran.
		Iran wants to crush Israel, and they want to crush the United States.
		The sentiment being conveyed was whether the U.S. wants it or not, we will be in a war with Iran, whether we start it or they start it.
		I'm not entirely convinced that's true.
		And the point I brought up when I mentioned the allegations, which they're allegations of, I don't know there's evidence of this, which is why I asked, about Qatari.
		Let me see if I can pull this up.
		I think I actually have the allegations in question.
		Let me see if I can find this.
		Here we go.
		What is this?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		FDD. There are people that are saying that Tucker Carlson is being funded by Qatar as well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't believe that anyone's being funded by Qatar.
		So FDD, this is the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, says Al Jazeera allegedly using bots to spread propaganda while skirting U.S. law.
		This came out December 9th.
		I did not assert this was true.
		I said, is there evidence to corroborate this?
		Largely because what I see happening is multifaceted.
		I've talked to enough young people, probably not enough to be completely honest, but I've talked to young people, where is this?
		Here we go.
		Who are scared to call for the suspension of TikTok largely because of the anti-Israel cohort.
		So typically the conversations go, the only reason Democrats and Republicans want to ban TikTok is because of Israel, which is true and correct.
		But there's a bunch of other reasons why we should force TikTok to divest as well.
		I see the younger protesters are largely anti-Israel, and I see right now there is no message conveyed to young people why they should support Israel, and I'm not saying that I do.
		I'm asking them, what are you paying attention to?
		Now, I'll tell you this.
		My having left this meeting is they are clueless to the issue.
		They don't know.
		Despite the fact there was literally a protest outside, they were dismissive of.
		They say these things happen.
		The trends that I see are Younger people are increasingly anti-Israel, and on the right, they're relatively neutral or don't care.
		My prediction, as I made over a year ago, is that with the anti-war elements of the populist movement on the right and the anti-Israel section of the left, not to mention there is a smaller but still prominent anti-Israel right, Israel's not going to have support from this country in 20 years.
		The U.S. is going to say, we've got two factions.
		Young people on the right who are following in the footsteps of MAGA, the populist movement, who don't want to fund foreign wars, they vote no on Israel.
		The far left that hates Israel, they vote no on Israel.
		Israel, you've got no funding anymore.
		That's what I see happening.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I think that's fairly obvious when you talk to any Zoomers.
		They're clearly not pro-Israel.
		They look at the United States and say, look, we have our own problems here.
		And they look at our history of foreign adventurism and they're like, this hasn't worked out for me personally.
		I can't afford this.
		I can't pay bills or I can't.
unidentified		I think it comes from a lack of education on how foreign policy actually works and the fact that you literally cannot survive in this world without...
		...without allies.
		Ten guys show up to beat you up.
		Are you going to fight them all by yourself?
		No, you need friends.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Phil might.
unidentified		What's that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What? I said Phil might.
unidentified		Phil might.
		But you see this from people in Congress, too.
		They just don't understand how foreign policy works.
		I think it's really unfortunate.
		But the other issue to what you're talking about with like the lack of Gen Z support for Israel is there are no like pro Israel champions that I really see.
		I talk about Israel a lot.
		I'm a raging Zionist, but I don't see a whole lot of other people who have like a firm understanding of the history.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Most people can't make a cogent argument that young people find compelling as to why we should.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Which is why, on the right, it's...
		Sure, Israel can do its thing.
		Don't care.
		And on the left, it's down with Israel.
		So I actually...
		Here's a question for you guys.
		Can you...
		Honest question.
		This is not a gotcha because I'm asking for...
		I'm looking for a real answer.
		And for those that are listening, comment.
		Can you name a prominent, high-profile, large following?
		I'm talking like a podcast with millions of listeners who is staunchly pro-Israel, advocating very heavily for Israel.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Someone who's Gen Z?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, anybody in the podcast space.
unidentified		Dennis Prager.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like Ben Shapiro is an obvious one.
		You know?
		My point is, I'm not saying there's none.
		I'm saying I can think of a bunch of big shows that are either Israel-neutral or skeptical and leftists who are anti-Israel.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Is Destiny pro-Israel?
unidentified		Yeah. Oh, it is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I didn't know that.
		Ben Shapiro's the obvious one.
		And it's not a critique of anybody who is.
		I'm just saying, like, my point to these people was, hey, look, man, I'm on the internet all day, every day.
		I live in the internet.
		It's become a problem.
		And all I see is I either don't care about Israel or Israel is bad.
unidentified		Yeah, it's because they don't understand.
		I think Destiny actually is...
		Why is he pro-Israel?
		I don't know.
		Destiny sometimes takes rational approaches, but he's...
		The problem is that Destiny is probably the best defender of Israel I've seen in terms of debate skills.
		But... For anyone on the right, it's just like, oh, that guy's pro-Israel?
		I better not be pro-Israel, right?
		So it's just a problem.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He's definitely not on the right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People watching him are on the right.
unidentified		Anyone who's on the right who's like, oh, this guy's really good at defending Israel, he's also like a terrible He's an absolute horrible person.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's the worst advocate.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He literally comes out and says, you know, violence against Trump supporters is okay.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		He knows they'll have that reaction.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here's the question.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's cut out anybody over 40. Are there young, prominent personalities with big followings who are pro-Israel?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Is Destiny over 40?
unidentified		Yes, yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wow, really?
unidentified		I think.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No, I don't think so.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But either way, we've acknowledged Destiny exists.
		Okay. I'm just saying, like, obviously there's prominent personalities who are older who are pro-Israel.
		I get it.
		My question is, in the next 20 years, who will be leading the charge to have the U.S. fund Israel?
		Look, man, I gotta be honest.
		I look at, you know, Sam Harris was ragging on Joe Rogan recently, and people have been ragging on Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, saying that they're entertaining these positions, blah, blah, blah.
		Tucker is a bit older.
		Joe's a bit older.
		But these are big shows, and the people they're having on these shows of influence are either, again, like Dave Smith is a great example.
		A lot of the MAGA pro-Trump people do not want the U.S. funding Israel.
		So there's a tiny faction of people who are younger and in favor of the U.S. funding Israel.
unidentified		It doesn't make any sense to not...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What is the argument for funding Israel?
unidentified		Is it really?
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Someone said Aiden Ross.
unidentified		The argument for funding Israel is that almost all of the money we give Israel goes into their military.
		So first of all, from a capitalist perspective, the best part of that is you're taking public dollars and re-injecting them into the private sector.
		We don't give any money to Israel.
		We give money to our defense companies.
		They give weapons to Israel.
		Primary benefit of that is, like, a really good example is in 1981, Israel battle-tested F-15s for the first time ever.
		These F-15s had never been battle-tested.
		They flew them in combat against Iraq.
		We learned our F-15s were capable of long-range bombing campaigns against Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor.
		They didn't lose a single F-15 in battle against Russian MiGs at the height of the Cold War.
		That was great.
		They were the first to battle-test our F-35 Lightning IIs.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sure, but that's 40 years ago, so what's today?
unidentified		F-35 Lightning IIs are today.
		Trophy systems and Abrams tanks.
		They were the first to test them.
		They were one of the first to test...
		So today, they're still providing us with, like, the money we give them, we are essentially just an R&D program for our military.
		Look at, like, what they do economically.
		The Leviathan and Tamar oil fields.
		These are massive oil fields in the Mediterranean off the coast of Israel in Israeli waters.
		And a U.S.
		LNG company was able to completely take over those oil fields.
		It's called Noble.
		They're, I believe, based in Dallas-Fort Worth.
		We made tons of money off that.
		We also regularized relations with Arab countries in the region by selling them the oil.
		Tel Aviv is the fourth biggest city in the world for tech startups.
		We usually wait for them to start new tech companies and then buy them.
		The technology that's in Teslas, Mobileye, it's called, is an Israeli invention that Intel bought.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sorry. How much money does Israel get every year from the United States?
unidentified		Like $3 billion.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the amount of money that Israel gets isn't actually a lot compared to the way that people talk about how much.
		There are arguments that the Middle East wars that the U.S. is engaged in are all for Israel.
		I'm not particularly...
		I don't find those arguments generally compelling, but...
		That's something you hear a lot.
unidentified		It's not very much.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		If that's the case, that the wars the U.S. is engaging in the Middle East are for Israel, and then you tack that money in, then you're talking about significant expenditures.
unidentified		A little bit.
		The other thing, too, is that money creates jobs in our own defense companies because, again, it never goes to Israel.
		It goes to our defense companies.
		On the political side, Israel votes with the United States more than any other country in the world on contested UN votes.
		90 percent of the time it's more than Canada.
		It's more than the UK. It's more than anyone we consider to be a close ally.
		So the – like what everybody is calling the woke right who insists that Israel is not an ally.
		They're – what do they call it?
		Detriment or whatever, right?
		They're off their rocker and they don't know anything effectively.
		They're definitely not holding us back.
		They are a very strong ally that gives us a lot of benefits whether it's on the political, the military – In 2024, they got $6.8 billion.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah. And Ukraine got $6.5.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		The money that Israel gets is directly in weapons, so that money actually goes to U.S. weapons manufacturers.
		And so that money does go into the U.S. economy.
		So I understand people making the argument, well, it helps the economy.
		No, this is crazy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, just even outside of the whole issue of Israel, Take a look at how much money the U.S. is giving to everyone.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it's ridiculous.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sudan got $800 million.
		Nigeria got $770 million.
		This is crazy.
		Malawi? Malawi?
unidentified		How do you say that?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Malawi. Malawi.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
		See, I couldn't even pronounce that one.
		$637 million.
		Here's my pitch.
		We take all of the money we give to all these countries and give it to random firefighters.
		Just put on a big pool and then just...
		Dish out a million bucks to every firefighter we can until we run out.
unidentified		But a lot of this money is also to prevent, like, to put U.S. influence over these countries, take a drop in the foreign aid bucket, give it to these countries so they're dependent on the United States and China doesn't swoop in and take them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's the liberal economic order.
		The idea is that if we maintain, if you tell those leaders, hey, look, man, you're gonna be a millionaire.
		You're gonna have an infinity pool and every luxury car.
		Don't go to war.
		They say, okay.
		And if they don't listen, then, you know, a helicopter flies in the middle of the night and they're not the leader anymore.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's how it goes.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So this is obviously not correct.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They got more than, in 2024, Ukraine got more than 6.5 billion.
unidentified		Yeah. That's how they're calculating.
		How are they calculating?
		Right. Because a lot of it was just like old military equipment.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		2023, what do we get for Ukraine?
		What is this?
		France, get out of here.
		2023, we don't need it.
		Go away.
		28 billion.
		Wow! What did Israel get in 2023?
unidentified		Not 28 billion.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		3 billion.
unidentified		28 billion?
		What? We're fighting the war.
		I mean, this war wouldn't be going on if we were not fighting the war.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Jeez, man!
unidentified		Conversely, if we weren't funding Israel, Israel would still be fighting the war and they'd be doing probably just fine.
unidentified		As they've shown time and time again before we funded them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I think the principal reason that people in this country are supportive of Israel is for religious reasons.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A lot of Christians.
unidentified		Evangelicals, a lot of them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep. And it's fascinating that, I guess what, before modern Israel, what was there?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What did they call it?
unidentified		Mandatory Palestine, Eretz Israel.
		Land of Israel, Mandatory Palestine.
		Interesting. And then before that, it was obviously the Ottoman Empire.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We were talking about this a while ago, that there are people who are intentionally trying to create the circumstances by which Revelation happens.
		Yep. So, we talked about the red heifers.
		They're intentionally trying to breed them so that they can have them.
		And some people, I watched this interesting little mini-documentary about Armageddon, and they were saying that there's some people who believe that, it's the book of Revelation, right?
		Or is it Plur?
		It's Revelation, right?
		I don't know.
		They say it's singular.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		It's the revelation.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, which I think Armageddon means revelation too, right?
		There are people who believe it's predictive, this is what will happen.
		There are people who believe it is descriptive, this is what did happen.
		And there are people who believe it's a, how would you describe it?
		It's telling you what to do.
		It's describing...
		Instructions. Right, it's instructive, there you go.
		And some people are a mix of all of these things.
		And there are people with power that are trying to intentionally bring about the circumstances from the book of Revelation so that they can force the coming of the Messiah, or they believe that when they accomplish these tasks, it will happen.
		So I don't know about all that.
		All I know is that there's people, they exist, right?
		They're breeding the red heifers or whatever.
		I don't know if they're prominent.
		But I do believe when you look at the United States today, it's overwhelmingly pro-Israel.
		It's like 70, 80% pro-Israel.
		But I think if you go to look at the younger generation, it's probably split.
		It's probably way less than that.
		Maybe less than 50-50.
		Probably general opposition.
unidentified		The general pro-Israel stance, too, is probably mostly people who just view it as a default thing.
		Right, exactly.
		I remember when I was a kid and abortion was a thing, I was just like, default.
		Yep, I'm pro-choice.
		Because that's how we ride in the 21st century.
		That's how I looked into it.
		But I think that's probably the case for most people who are pro-Israel.
		They're not talking about it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Interesting. 18- to 24-year-olds.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A poll found, Harvard-Harris, 48% support Hamas.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		That's... That's what it says on the survey?
		Do you support Hamas, yes or no?
		That's what it says.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Young Americans have mixed views about Hamas.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me pull it up.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I am fine with people that are critical of Israel and don't like Israel, but supporting Hamas is...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		I don't think they know what Hamas is.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Harvard-Harris poll from March found that 40% of Americans aged 24 said they support Hamas over Israel.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		I don't think they know what Hamas is.
unidentified		No, they don't, of course.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		I don't think they know what that word means.
unidentified		Their charter literally says that their day of judgment, so whatever, the rapture, says the day of judgment will not come about until the Muslims fight the Jews, killing the Jews.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it's worse than that, brother.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's actually in the Hadith.
unidentified		Yeah, it's a Hadith.
unidentified		Yeah, exactly.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It says that until the Muslims fight the Jews and every rock and tree will say, oh, Muslim, come, there's a Jew hiding behind me, come kill him.
unidentified		There's a Jew behind me, come and kill him.
		Yeah. That's crazy.
		Except the Garknad tree, which is a Jew lover tree.
		That one won't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That one won't?
unidentified		No, yeah.
unidentified		No, read it.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's hilarious.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you know, that one really bothers me because, like, all of these rules you get on social media companies about hate speech, and I'm like, bro, there's a religion that has, like, a tenet that says they have to kill another religion.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We're not going to respect all religions here, dude.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Part of it also is that they have to lie to non-believers about what they believe in order to make them join Islam.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think they can lie.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't know that says they have to lie.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They're the same kind of comments about Judaism as well.
		Like in the Talmud, I guess there's some really controversial things that are in there that people tend to cite a lot.
		There's a lot of people that are in my mentions frequently being, Like, read the Talmud and they hate you.
		They hate you'cause you're a Gentile or whatever.
unidentified		But the difference between that is that a Hadith is the word of the Prophet Muhammad, right?
		That's what they believe Hadiths are.
		They are the word of Prophet Muhammad.
		And the Quran says that the word of Prophet Muhammad is the word of God and whatever he says goes and that's what you follow.
		The Talmud is 2000 pages of rabbis arguing about what biblical law says, right?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		So none of it is like authoritarian One thing I don't get about, like, Islam is, like, Islam says that Christians are polytheists, right?
		They say that because they worship the Trinity, they say they're polytheists.
		But at the same time, they say that Muhammad is, like, Muhammad's words are the word of God, word of Allah.
		Yeah, so that's the same thing, isn't it?
		Or at least it's, I mean, it's...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		You think they view Muhammad as a deity?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		No, no.
		Well, I mean, the way they behave, they would say they don't.
		But to an outsider, it looks the same as the way that...
		You know, people treat Christianity when it comes to the way that Christ and God and the Holy Spirit are one, you know?
unidentified		And there are different degrees of Hadiths, which is based on, I believe, like the, how strong the belief is that Muhammad actually said this thing.
unidentified		So I don't know what degree that Hadith that says the Day of Judgment will come about, the Muslims fight the Jews, killing the Jews, is, but it doesn't matter because there is a group that, what was it, 24% of Gen Zers said that they support that does believe that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		48. 48?
unidentified		Okay, great.
unidentified		Even worse.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, didn't I just pull it up?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Where did it go?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Here you go.
		New York Post.
		It says, Harvard Harris Poll, 40% of Americans aged 24 say they would support Hamas over the Jewish state, making them the only age demographic for which Israel did not enjoy at least a double-digit support over the terror group in the Gaza Strip.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, look, at the end of the day, Hamas is a terrorist organization.
unidentified		And guess what's legal in the Gaza Strip, by the way?
		Actually, every other Muslim country that I can think of except Jordan.
		Child rape.
		You can marry a child.
		There is no legal age of marriage in any of these countries.
		And spousal rape is legal.
		If you can marry a child, what does that equal?
		Sudan has a legal age of marriage at 10 years old.
		In Jordan, it's 18. In the West Bank, it's actually 18 as well, which is very surprising.
		But Gaza never adopted that rule.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep. Crazy.
		Wonderful. You know, I guess...
		We'll grab another segment after this, but my final thoughts on this meeting.
		My view would be that, man, I don't know.
		There's concerns over Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
		Trump is supposed to be having talks this, I think, what is it, Saturday, with Iran that I don't know are going to go well.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		And we're back in Bagram as well.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Exactly. We're back in Bagram.
		The general sentiment that was conveyed to us was whether we want a war with Iran or not, Iran is intent on destroying us.
		So, obviously, you know, as expressed, we don't want war.
		We don't want war.
		But if these nuclear talks don't go well and they begin to work towards a nuclear weapon, they never said anything like there's going to be war, but that was the general vibe of like, yo, no one's going to let Iran get a nuclear weapon.
		It's going to get bad.
		I don't want war.
		I don't want to be involved.
		I don't have any good answers for you guys.
		Sorry. The US is going to do weird, crazy stuff and they're going to lie to us the whole time.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I was surprised when I read that the US was going to go back into Bagram.
		It only makes the Abbey Gate and the pullout that much more infuriating that, you know, the Biden administration pulls out and we gave the Taliban a boatload of weapons.
		I'm not sure what the agreement is or how the Taliban plans to guarantee that there won't be attacks on Bagram other than massive amounts of U.S. military hardware pointed outward from the airbase.
		I haven't read this story.
unidentified		Are they giving assurances that there won't be attacks?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We don't know that we're taking back Bagram.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They said a CIA plane flew overhead and did weird stuff.
unidentified		Which couldn't mean anything.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let's jump to the story from the Post Millennial.
		55% of left-leaning Americans say...
		I'm not going to read this headline.
		I can't read it.
		But they're in favor of hurting the president.
		We'll put it that way.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Only somewhat.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		55% somewhat justified.
		It's 55 that are somewhat justified or totally justified.
		They combined it.
		That's how they got the plurality.
		Or the majority, actually.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You're the bad guys, guys.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, according to a poll done by the Network Contagion Research Institute, a growing number of people are fine justifying or even celebrate Yeah, this is what I'm saying.
		Look, we were talking about Gen Z, whether they would work in factories or not.
		And we were talking about how I think the younger generations largely look up to the older generations, like they're in charge and they know it's best, even though 22-year-olds should be running businesses.
		That's the way it used to be.
		Like, you were 22 and you had a farm.
		And you were the boss.
		You were in charge.
		You answered to nobody.
		But now it's like Gen Z is just looking up to everybody else instead of taking the reins.
		millennials are no different.
		I think that there's a general lack of purpose.
		And what's going to happen is the younger generation becoming increasingly radicalized are going to get increasingly violent because there's no path.
		And it's not so much about opportunity or the American dream.
		It's about what are we even doing?
		Someone's going to find a way to fill that with orange man bad or, you know, insert any other ideology.
		And then I think we're going to see young people in 10 years be espousing their violent rhetoric and ideologies.
		I think that there's a Gen Alpha's gonna be getting older.
		And then, you know, bad stuff happens.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		This is something I've been wondering about.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Why is it that they latched onto Luigi Mangione and started hero-worshipping him, but the same response didn't happen for Thomas Crooks?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Because Luigi's a pretty boy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because Luigi had...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I disagree.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Thomas Crooks had a more important target.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Crooks had no motive, ideology, structure.
		He had no grievance.
		We don't even know how he got there.
		Mangione said, I was living the good life and then I hurt my back and it destroyed everything.
		And they kept denying me and delaying.
		And so he went out for revenge.
		And that was an ideological...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		You still know nothing about Thomas Crooks.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Exactly. Bill Burr said on Jimmy Kimmel...
		Are you kidding?
		He said something like, are you kidding?
		People are wondering why this happened?
		That's why.
unidentified		They started worshiping.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Not to say you're completely wrong, Phil.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Charisma matters.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The ladies do want to hook up with that guy.
unidentified		They started worshiping and romanticizing him before they even knew who he was, too.
		Because they had a suspect.
		This guy just killed a healthcare CEO.
		Oh, he's definitely on our side.
		And that's not a, I hate Republicans, I hate Trump thing.
		That's a, Down with the system.
		I'm a leftist thing.
		And that's why they latched on to it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now, here's the important question.
		The important question is age, in my opinion.
		I don't care about the general left of this country.
		What people often completely overlook in these things, the way described it is, how can I describe it?
		Imagine that you have, there's a graph indicating your proximity left and right, where you are.
		And in the 1990s, everybody was really close to each other.
		That's what the Pew Research shows.
		Over time, the left and the right start to move away from each other.
		What people don't understand is that the bifurcation among the younger generation is night and day, and the bifurcation among the older generation is, they're fairly similar, it's not that big a deal.
		Voting patterns right now reflect an older generation in boomers, Gen Xers, and some millennials that are still somewhat Close in worldview.
		But as you get millennial, you know, so some millennials, you get millennial, Gen Z, and younger, the distance between ideologies is a chasm.
		When the older generations that agree with each other die and pass on, they will no longer be voting.
		That means you are going to have increasing hyperpolarization as the younger generations begin to take over these principal voting blocks and become the only voters.
		This is missed by everybody.
		Ten years from now, boomers are not going to be voting.
		So their shared worldview among Democrat and Republican boomers?
		Gone. Then you're going to have far-left young people, or I mean far-left middle-aged people, and conservative moderate right-wing people, and they're going to be voting for insanely different things.
		To the point where voting don't matter.
		They're going to be like, I will not let you do that no matter what.
		It's one thing when in the 90s everybody agreed.
		In the 90s, like, Everybody agreed on almost every single policy except, like, should the taxes be 1% higher or 1% lower?
		And should abortion be 15 weeks or 16 weeks?
		Now it's abortion for everybody no matter what or no abortions at all.
		It is Marxism, it is DEI, or it is anti-woke, anti-Marxist, whatever.
		The only thing holding everything together is boomers, for the most part, and Gen X. When boomers stop voting, Hyperpolarization is going to jump the left-leaning Americans when they include elderly people who are anti-violence.
		Look, another poll that we pulled up a year or so ago was that they polled whether or not people thought a civil war would happen in this country.
		Boomers overwhelmingly said it will not.
		Gen X, it was 2 to 1 that it won't happen.
		Millennials were split 50-50, and Gen Z was 2 to 1 it will happen.
		So just carry that sentiment as Gen Z ages and becomes older and starts entering the age where they should be controlling industry.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I guess the only saving grace that I can think of with that is the fact that young people are the ones that actually engage in revolutionary activities generally.
		Usually if there's a revolution or a civil war or something, it's young men that are doing it.
		And hopefully...
		The people that feel like there will be one age out of it before it actually comes to a head.
		But that is definitely a...
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		They're more likely to think in black and white and grow out of it.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Like, I wonder what millennials would have said had they been asked in the 18 to 24 age range.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, millennials, they wouldn't have thought that...
		I imagine that they wouldn't have thought that we would have a civil war because remember, they're in their 40s now.
		So 20 years ago...
		You know, it was 2005 and it was a whole different world.
		It was a whole different world.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So the reason why millennials are split pretty close to thinking there will be is because we grew up with a constant battle between left and right in a way that boomers did not.
		Don't get me wrong.
		I shouldn't say that there wasn't.
		There was certainly far left, but it wasn't as pronounced in the mainstream.
		So when millennials are growing up, it was mainstream for the left to make prominent videos attacking the right.
		It was mainstream for Green Day to make a whole album saying, screw America, F you.
		So, I mean, I know that there was punk rock stuff and there was criticism of the government, but the mainstream was largely not this.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, look, people that liked Rage Against the Machine in the 90s, 95% of them didn't know what Rage Against the Machine was singing about.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's why there's that video that's really funny of a bunch of middle-aged white people dancing to the song Killing in the Name.
		It's like, uh...
		Do you know what they're singing about?
unidentified		I used to love Green Day.
unidentified		Used to.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I was never a Green Day fan, but I still listen to Rage Against the Machine.
		If they come on the radio, I'm not turning them off.
		I like Rage Against the Machine, even though I know that ideologically we couldn't be further apart.
unidentified		I still listen to Green Day, rarely on occasion.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		In the 90s, the 2000s, the 2010s, I think millennials also believed that political solutions existed because the left was ascendant and it was like, That could very well be.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Which is probably why there are so many people that are, you know, young people that are That look at the situation and freak out if they're on the left.
		If they're leftists like people like Hassan and stuff.
		There's not a whole lot of moderation coming from these guys.
		That's why Trump freaks them out.
		Because they thought they had a permanent victory.
		And that was kind of the vibe that people had.
		Now that Obama's won, now we can look at the Republicans as a regional I think the
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		one thing that people just don't consider, and I'll say it again, is that Look, somebody right now who's 17 years old will be voting in 2028.
		Somebody right now who is 28 years old, who's never voted before and doesn't care because young people don't vote, will be voting in 2028 for the first time because it's beginning to impact their retirements or something like this.
		It's funny to me that whenever it comes to elections, people say things like, how do we convince more people to vote Republican?
		How do we register more Republican voters?
		And it's like, go to a freshman college class?
		They'll register tons of Republicans there.
		You just start signing them up.
		They never registered before.
		They're 18. They can finally vote.
		People aren't considering that a large portion of the people who voted for Donald Trump the first time are dead.
		In 2016, when Trump ran for the first time, how many voters did he get that were elderly?
		And it's been 10 years and they ain't here anymore.
		So he needs to find voters somewhere else.
		Which is another point which is interesting in the 2024 election.
		Because this means Trump A substantial, a large number of new voters, considering many of the older voters of a Republican are aging out, as we call it.
		Passing on.
unidentified		Expedited by COVID.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Indeed. So, absolutely.
		So how many, so he actually won bigger than people realize because they're thinking of it like the body politic is a static thing.
		Yeah. Not that it's constantly changing.
		So Trump is winning bigly with young people.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's an era that I feel is Every group kind of makes.
		People think that time doesn't progress.
		They almost forget that there's going to be changes.
		Like I was just saying earlier, the Democrats thought that they were going to be in control forever.
		They couldn't imagine someone like Donald Trump.
		Taking over the Republican Party and really changing what a Republican is.
		The left thought the Republicans were people like John McCain and Mitt Romney.
		And then Donald Trump came in and changed everything.
		And that's why the other day we were talking.
		Williams was here, and I was like, look, man, you don't know who can pop their head up.
		There may not be someone obvious now on the Democrat side, but there is no guarantee that the Republicans or America First is going to be in control for the next 30 years.
		There's going to be someone that could...
		Or there could very well be someone that will pop up on the Democrat side and be, you know, a fiery speaker or have influence and could really, and you can't tell what's going to happen in the world either.
		There are conditions that change.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't think, so there was a poll that came out for who's the, for the 2028 election, who do you got?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		J.D. Vance had like 40-something percent, and Stephen A. Smith had the Democrat ticket.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah. I mean, there's no one right now.
		What? There's 100% no one right now that's obviously ascendant.
		I'm just saying that it could be in four years or six years that someone decides, because, you know, someone that's 25 now that's not in politics, in five, six, seven years, they could be like, hey.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What I can say is Terrence sent me a box of sweet potato pancake mix, which I've been using to make waffles with.
		And it is good.
		It's real good.
		He sent us buttermilk pancake mix too, but Allison's not doing dairy right now, so we can't use it just yet.
		But the sweet potato pancake mix does not have any dairy in it, so I've been using it to make waffles.
		And I would describe them as based AF.
		Very delicious.
		Very healthy, by the way.
		Shout out to Cousin T's Pancakes.
		And we used his blackberry.
		He sent us blackberry syrup.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's good.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Not too sweet.
		Not too sweet.
		Only 10 grams of sugar and two tablespoons.
		So it was one-fifth of the dark maple syrup that we normally use.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Like cough syrup.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I guess.

		Sorry to hear it.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Proud, though?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Maybe he's religious.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah. Maybe.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's a funny thing, too, because, like, the left had this big meme where they mocked Ben Shapiro.
		Because they were like, haha, he's a virgin, and he's like, I'm married and I have children.
		And they're like, well, you were a virgin.
		He's like, yes, I was, but until I got married.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Literally everyone was a virgin.
unidentified		Before not being one.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The left believes that you should be doing whatever.

		Ben Shapiro's a religious guy.
		He's looking at you and he sees a degenerate scum monster and you're like, haha, you're pure.
		And he's like, yes.
		That's how he sees it.
		He sounds like demons.
		He sees a bunch of degenerate filth going, and throwing mud, and he's like, this means nothing to me.
		Like, your boos mean nothing.
		I've seen what makes you cheer.
		Snoop123 says, Make $33 an hour and my wife works.

		I can't get any house repairs for less than $10,000.
		Less the $10,000?
		Crazy. OneWednesday says sweatshop jobs will not come back.
		The factories in the U.S. will be more advanced and industrial.
		There will be a few high-skilled workers overseeing large industrial sewing machines.
		Yeah, probably.
		Blaze Kaiser says, oh Tim, most millennials already know we aren't ever retiring.
		It works out for me because I don't want to retire.
		I have no intention of retiring, and I don't want to.
		So I'll always be doing something.
		It's weird.
		People always ask me this.
		They were like, what are you going to do for your retirement?
		Do you have a 401k?
		Do you have a Roth IRA?
		I was like, what do I need that for?
		And they're like, well, when you retire.
		And I was like, what does retire mean?
		When you stop working.
		And then what do I do?
		And they're like, I don't know.
		What do you want to do?
		And I'm like, work.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		You're a rare person who does what they want to do and it's what they do for work and that's not most people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I've only ever done whatever I wanted to do.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, most people don't.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because they need gumption.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think you're just born with it or you don't have it.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		For the most part.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What do you call that?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Talent realist?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Talent realist?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, like you believe that people are inherently born with or without talent?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, I don't think that...
		I don't think that you're just born with or without talent, but it is true that you're born with the kind of personality that feels like, oh, I can do this, or oh, no, I can't do this.
		My father, he was his own business.
		He would plow in the winter and would do construction site work.
		When he started his business, my grandfather, his dad, was like, don't.
		You need to get a job.
		You need someone to make sure that you're getting a paycheck every week.
		It's a terrible idea, blah, blah, blah.
		And this is in like 1980.
		My dad's like, look, I just went and I made 200 bucks, which is a ton of money.
		And he's like, yeah, but what?
		My grandfather was like, yeah, but what about the next $200?
		Where's that going to come from?
		So it really depends on your experiences and how your intuition is.
		What's the word I'm looking for?
		Anyways, the kind of person you are.
		Some people are geared for that, and some people aren't.
		And I'm not criticizing people that aren't.
		Like I said, I love my grandfather, but he just wasn't that kind of dude.
		He's like, I think you need to have a job.
		And my dad was like, I'm going to go and do it on my own.
unidentified		You also run into a problem with Gen Z, too, where they think that they're the kind of person who can make a job out of nothing.
		Like, I'm going to start a podcast and be really successful because I'm full of talent, but they're not.
		But they're willing to do the work, maybe, but they're just not the talents.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		It's usually not a podcast, though.
		I think the Gen Z men are getting really into these back-end money-making schemes or what they think are going to make them money.
		They're buying e-books and joining courses and courses on how to make e-books.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I've said it before, I'll say it again.

		Whatever it costs you in ads per book sold, charge a dollar more.
		Congratulations. At the end of the month, you'll have six figures.
		It's all automatic.
		It runs itself.
		Tons of people do this.
		I'm not saying everyone can figure it out.
		Some people aren't smart enough to figure it out.
		But we've talked about it on the show before.
		What I would say is when I was 20 years old, I could play guitar.
		Okay, and I can sing.
		And that's an advantage, I suppose.
		So I took my guitar and I went out in Chicago and to the subway and I started playing.
		And I made something like, I was probably getting like, I don't know, 10 bucks an hour.
		And then I got yelled at.
		You need a permit.
		You can't do what you're doing.
		And I was like, what?
		Really? You can't play down here.
		You need a permit.
		And I was like, okay, where do I go to get it?
		Went and got one.
		It was like 10 bucks.
		Now I got a permit.
		I'd go on the subway and then I would play songs.
		If I played top 40s, I would do like 30, 40 bucks an hour.
		So I was like, okay.
		I learned some Oasis, some CCR, songs that I liked.
		And then I started making big money.
		I was making like, I'd play for like an hour or two and I'd have like 80 bucks and I'd go put it in the bank.
		Go to Wrigley Field after a game, time the game, wait for it to end, walk outside, put the guitar up, play Top 40s.
		You make like 200 bucks an hour.
		Yeah, everyone's drunk.
		But it's only for like one hour as everyone's leaving and they're wasted and they see you and they start singing.
		There was a guy.
		So here's how it works in Chicago.
		There were four train stations you could busk at.
		It's called busking.
		And it was first come, first serve.
		So you'd go to the subway.
		You'd get off the train.
		You'd look around.
		If nobody was performing, you could perform.
		But there was this one guy.
		I can tell you.
		These people who want to get rich and don't know what to do.
		He was a 5'6 black man holding a football.
		And he had a stereo.
		And he would press play.
	And it would play that NFL song.
	And then he would just hop back and forth with the football and like spin around with it with a bucket out for money.
	And he got paid.
	What? She's laughing.
	People loved it.
	And I was watching him and I'm like, he's not as talented as me, but he's smarter than I am.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		It's like Jordan Neely doing those Michael Jackson impressions.
mary morgan ▲ ● ▼		Mildly popular.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Jump Daddy says, Tim, I keep...
		Oh, wait, wait, wait.
		I keep seeing that evil Trump is holding a military-style parade for his birthday.
		Apparently he's been forcing the army to hold a parade on his birthday for 250 years.
		Impeach him now.
		Ooh, I got a good one.
		Michael Gammon says, Hey Tim, should AIPAC have to register as a foreign agent?
		Ooh, what answer could I give that would make you the angriest?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, if you tell them no, that'll upset them.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What if I said, why should they?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there you go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, honest question.
		Here's what I love.
		Honest question.
		What is it about...
		Wanting APAC to register as a...
		What is it about...
		Where were we?
		Okay, here we go.
		What is it about APAC registering as a foreign agent that people care so much about?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Because they believe that APAC owns Congress.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And what would registering as a foreign agent change?
unidentified		Because they'd still be doing it, and Qatar still does it, but they do it with way more money.
unidentified		Right now.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What does registering as a foreign agent actually do?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What does it do?
unidentified		It limits...
		I don't remember.
		It limits and puts up red tape for certain things, just adds a couple barriers.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It requires disclosure.
		A registering under FARA would require disclosure.
		You must publicly disclose your relationship with a foreign principal.
		You're required to file regular reports detailing activities, finances, and political or advocacy efforts.
		Distributed materials must clearly be marked as being disseminated on behalf of a foreign principle.
		It does not ban activities nor make you a criminal.
		There's potential reputational risks for working for a foreign agent, and you may face scrutiny for doing so.
		It does not ban any activities that you would perform.
		It only requires that you disclose them.
		Okay, then yes, they should register because it would change literally nothing.
		And isn't Israel in the name?
unidentified		Israel is in the name.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		They're buying elections, Tim.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, I would say, who cares if they do or they don't?
		If that's the case, then I'll say, yes, they should.
		Because nothing changes.
		They literally keep doing whatever it is they're doing.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I don't have any problem with them registering as a foreign agent, but if I understand correctly, they are a U.S.-based organization.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
unidentified		I heard somebody say this the other day.
		Probably the best I've ever put it is, like, do you think the rich Jews in Los Angeles and New York actually want the shekels coming from Israel?
		They don't.
		Like, they don't want it.
		They don't need it.
		There's no reason.
		All it does is complicate what they're trying to do.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Yeah. Hey.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Villainous V says, Sup Tim, my cat Merlin had to be put to sleep today.
		Miss him already, but I know he is terrorizing people by casting fireballs from the top of the frig.
		To my cat Merlin, cheers.
		Sorry to hear it, buddy.
		Sorry to hear it.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Sorry to hear it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		US Atlas says, Cam and I met when we were both doing political commentary on TikTok.
		I stepped back to focus on growing my family after three and a half years of trying.
		I am pleased to say my wife is 12 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow.
		Congratulations. I want to share the news with my friends and heroes.
		Wow, congratulations.
unidentified		Congrats, Bradley.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It is very fun.
		Alright, let's read this one.
		Lurch685 says, Cam, how do you feel about the IDF executing 15 medics or burying the bodies in a mass grave to cover it up?
unidentified		Yeah, so I haven't looked into this story.
		I've been preoccupied with other things.
		I have a debate with USS Liberty Survivor coming up on April 19th, so I've been preoccupied with that.
		That's Phil Turney from The Candace Owens Show.
		So I haven't been up to date with this, but if it's anything like the World Central Kitchen thing, then I would just be happy to condemn it, but while also acknowledging the nuance of the situation, like the World Central Kitchen people didn't have the IR strobe they're supposed to have on their trucks, they were driving armored vehicles in the middle of the night, Israel blew them up, Israel should have taken further steps to identify them and make sure they weren't killing innocent people, but to be fair, it probably did look like a military convoy in the middle of the night.
		If it's anything like that, then I would just be happy to condemn it and say that Israel are not infallible and they do things wrong sometimes, but I think that when you look at who we should I've heard none of that's true.
		Oh, yeah, I'm sure, right.
		None of it's true, even though we have the leaflets.
		Like, these are all things that the U.S.
		usually doesn't do.
		Like, there are some cases where the United States has, like, dropped leaflets, like, over Japan before we nuclear bombed them.
		But ultimately...
		Ultimately, these are things that most militaries do not practice.
		Israel does it because they're so hyper-cautious about killing civilians and the narrative that's going to surround it that they do it anyway.
		So, yeah, they're not infallible.
		Sometimes they do things wrong and innocent people die and it sucks, but welcome to war.
		400,000 people died in Berlin, Germany, but I don't see you condemning World War II.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm just, you know, what do you have to say about the humanitarian aid workers that were killed in North Darfur?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Why haven't you commented on that?
unidentified		Humanitarian aid workers that were killed where?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		In the Zanzam camp attacks in North Darfur.
unidentified		When was this?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It was in February.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I gotta say, Lurch, why don't you care about the innocent people being killed in Sudan?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		What about the genocide in the Congo?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, my point is like...
		You want to come to me, ask me, ask me, Tim, are you upset about Israel blowing up, you know, a food truck?
		I'll be like, I guess as much as I am upset about the aid workers killed in Sudan and the oppression in Eritrea and the journalists that are killed in Turkey and Thailand and all the other places where governments are massacring people where you won't, like these people, guys, other countries exist.
		I don't know what world you'll live in.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Uh-huh.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yep. Bro, Gonzalo Lira killed in Ukraine.
		To be fair, a lot of the same people did call that one out.
		That's fair.
		I'll give you that one.
		But it's like, I understand there are some conflicts that are more pressing than others.
		We don't want to get entangled.
		Israel is an ally, whether you want them to be or not, and they could get us entangled in foreign war.
		My point is, it's just, guys, the world is bigger than just the Middle East, okay?
		Can we acknowledge that?
unidentified		I don't buy that they're going to get us entangled in foreign wars, because we don't have a mutual defense pact with Israel.
		We're not obligated to go fight for them if they get into a war.
		And on top of that, it is ultimately, at the end of the day, the decision of the United States whether or not they're going to enter into a war.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		You know, and there's one other thing that people kind of neglect.
		Like, we struck, the United States struck Iran when Trump was in office and killed Soleimani when he was in the first time.
		The idea that the United States, should the United States carry out a strike on Iran in order to take out a nuclear program, that does not inherently mean the whole world falls into a war.
unidentified		They can't fight us.
unidentified		So, like, if we go bomb, what happened after Soleimani got killed?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Nothing. That's my point.
unidentified		Nothing happened.
		Because guess what?
		In order for Iran to fight the United States, they're going to have to fly over the airspace of all of our allies and somehow make it to the United States for a bombing campaign.
		That war happened.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They already entered the southern border four years ago.
unidentified		That's true.
		That's a problem.
		That is a problem.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's a real big problem.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Princey says, how do tariffs play into Thucydides' trap?
		If China faces economic collapse from U.S. tariffs, do they initiate war with the U.S. or Taiwan as a last-ditch attempt?
		Yeah, I think it exacerbates it.
		Thucydides Trap, of course, says that when a rising economic power is about to supplant the dominant one, war tends to break out.
		And with Trump basically saying, you're done, they may say, fire the missiles.
		Don't know for sure, though.
		All right, let's see where we're at.
		We've got...
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I think it's actually Myron Gaines.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Indeed, I'm looking for his super chat.
		Let's see.
		I know I could, but I want to find it on the actual thing so I can have it pulled up permanently while the chat still goes.
		But I think YouTube deleted it, Myron.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Sorry. You want me to read it?
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I got it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, I can pull it up.
		It's just not showing up on our list.
		Why is it not on our list?
		It's gone, right?
		Yeah, look at that.
		It's gone.
		But don't worry.
		I know how to pull it up.
		Myron Gaines says, this guest is low IQ.
		There is zero American strategic benefit to supporting Israel.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Be nice.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They never get held accountable.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We run cover for them at the UN despite them spying on us and being involved in multiple conspiracies and terrorist attacks.
unidentified		Yeah, so Myron Gaines is probably one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered in my entire life.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		Well, we love Myron here.
unidentified		He's nice.
		So we have common enemies.
		He came after me first.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Myron, you started it.
unidentified		We have common enemies with Israel.
		Israel has used the intelligence that they gather because they're constantly spying on jihadists who, by the way, have legal child rape in their countries, chant death to America every single day.
		They are constantly gathering intelligence in those people, those people who, by the way, want to kill you.
		So Israel has thwarted at least three major terrorist attacks in the United States by giving us intelligence that otherwise wouldn't happen.
		There was a huge terrorist attack that was planned for our diplomatic missions to Europe.
		They coordinated with European intelligence to prevent that terrorist attack.
		ISIS wanted to disguise bombs as laptops to murder Americans on airplanes.
		They thwarted that.
		And there was one other one, attacks on U.S.
		embassies by Hezbollah.
		They foiled that plot as well.
		And numerous, numerous, numerous others.
		There's economic benefits.
		We talked about the Leviathan and the Tamar oil fields earlier, which thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of gallons of natural gas were extracted from Israel, sold to Arab countries, regularizing our relations with those countries, bringing profit to American companies. In addition to that, like I said earlier, number four place in the world.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		the funniest thing about all this is that, like, Some of the biggest podcasts in the world are hosting conversations critical of Israel or outright anti-Israel and outright anti-Jew.
		And the narrative is still that Israel is secretly controlling it.
		Well, I'm wondering, I'm like, the argument is that Israel is secretly paying podcasters or whatever, and I'm like, Bro, the biggest podcasts in the world are all pretty critical of Israel, or at least entertaining those conversations.
		Why isn't Israel doing more?
		I don't understand.
		Maybe it used to be that way, I guess, and the argument is that since Elon bought Twitter and turned it to X, that's changed.
		It used to be not...
		You were always able to criticize Israel.
		That's how these activist groups exist and have always existed.
		Hassan has been around for a long time.
		The dude hates Israel.
		Well, he's going to argue that and say, no, I'm just critical of their policies, blah, blah, whatever, fine.
		But the dude's been prominent on social media for a decade.
unidentified		He's open about it.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		He hates Israel.
		He doesn't hate Israel.
		He hates America.
		That's a totally different country.
unidentified		And he's open about it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		But people always say things like, no, no, it's the government they're doing, the people, we want to, you know, but whatever.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		My point is, when, when, honest question, when was Israel running social media to the degree that they claim when you had all of these big prominent leftists and the biggest Gen Z streamers outright Just saying, like, they hate Israel and arguing against it all day, every day. I've always argued for Israel.
unidentified		I was banned at a million and a half followers on TikTok.
		Where was the Jews to come help me?
		Like, how did I get banned?
		How did I get banned on livestream ban on Instagram?
		How did I get banned on Twitter?
		Where were the Jews to help me when I was doing all this?
		They don't run the world.
		It's the dumbest thing ever.
		They spring up all these conspiracies.
		The USS Liberty.
		I'm debating Phil Turney on April 19th.
		Myron. So make sure to tune into that one.
		So, like, the Levon affair.
		Nobody died!
		Look at all the sketchy stuff the United States has done in terms of, like, false flag operations in other countries.
		I don't see you complaining about that because you're an American.
		Israel does a false flag one time that's confirmed, doesn't kill a single person.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		I would disagree with that.
		They're very, very comfortable criticizing America.
		Generally, if you're anti-Israel, pardon me?
unidentified		Not to the same degree, though.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The issue I see is, does Israel do bad things?
		Yeah. Does Ukraine do bad things?
		Yeah. Does Russia?
		Yup. Does China?
		Yup. Does India?
		Yup. Does Pakistan?
		Yup. Does Eritrea?
		Yup. Does Malaysia?
		Yup. Does Singapore?
		Yup. China?
		Oh boy, they're bad.
		It's the obsession.
		It's like the singular focus of people where they're...
		You know, this is what I try to explain to people.
		Like, I like Dave Smith.
		He's a funny guy.
		And he's really good at explaining why he thinks the things that he does fast.
		And I love it when people try to get him.
		When they try to tweet at him or insult him, it's like, bro, he's a professional comedian.
		He's going to roast you, dude.
		You're not going to be able to get a fat...
		What are you doing?
		When Dave makes his arguments from a pro-America or libertarian standpoint and he's critical of Israel, it's in a way that is personable, logical, calmly explained, and he's your friend as he does it.
		These people insult you and they...
		I would argue that the anti-Israel social media users like Fuentes' crowd are the...
		Biggest pro-Israel group I've ever seen in my life.
		It's not my opinion.
		There is actually a prominent conspiracy theory that Fuentes is an Israeli op.
		Because that's how weird it goes.
		Because when he and his supporters go on social media and attack people, it pushes them towards Israel.
		It makes them hate the people who are criticizing Israel.
		Whereas Dave Smith don't do that.
		Dave Smith makes you laugh and feel good.
		and you're having a good time.
		Fantastic crowd comes by and they call you a bunch of names and insult you and post pictures about you when you didn't even say anything.
		And it's like, I get a wave of criticism because I was like, oh, I don't really care about Israel.
		I'm like, aha, you're a Zionist.
		And I'm like, I literally just don't care.
		And they're like, well, as long as you think it exists, you're a Zionist.
		And then they spam blast me.
		And I'm like, are you guys trying to make me like Israel?
		Like, I don't understand.
		Because you're certainly not arguing Is it working?
		I am America.
		I am an American citizen.
		That's what I mean.
		I don't care.
		When they come to me and they're like, Israel did a bad thing, I'm like, wow, that's awful.
		And? Well, we should stop funding them.
		Okay. You're a Zionist.
		What? It's the problem with these people.
		That's why I think...
		This fervent Israel derangement syndrome really irks me.
		You can literally come on this show, as I have and libertarians, and say the U.S. should taper off its support, no longer provide military support for Israel, and break away from this, and they'll say, so you think Israel exists, huh?
		And you're like, oh my god, dude.
		These people are going around being like, it's not enough to be critical of Israel, you must be anti-Israel.
phil labonte ▲ ● ▼		That's part of the reason why Lindsey calls them woke right because they do a lot of the same tactics.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but that's not what woke is.
		That term is dumb.
