Eric Swalwell
True Gold Republic Scandal 00:03:52
tim pool
has announced he is resigning from Congress.
And this is absolutely shocking.
I didn't see it coming.
We knew that he was dropping out of the gubernatorial race in California because, well, he's been accused of raping a woman more than once, as well as several other women who accused him of impropriety, sending nasty photos, and apparently more women are about to come out.
But the speculation was that the Democratic Party did not want to give up any seats in Congress because Republicans barely have a majority as it is, but he's resigning.
I suppose he's only resigning because Tony Gonzalez, a Republican, is also resigning at the same time.
So, two members of Congress resigning over weird sex scandals.
But the funny thing about Swalwell is, man, he sure can dish it.
When it came to Kavanaugh, he called for Kavanaugh to bring out all of the accusers to speak up and have their stories heard.
The accusations against Kavanaugh were absolutely psychotic.
And I'm going to go ahead and say this, guys.
I know, I know, many people are going to get upset about this, but.
I'm actually, I got to defend Swalwell at least a little bit.
I certainly think it looks like he's having an affair on his wife or whatever, and there's videos of him with some other woman making out with her and stuff like that.
But I have to question these allegations because it seems like this is an attempt to knock him out of the California race and Congress because Democrats were on track to lose the state.
The way the primary in California works, it's an open primary, so the top two candidates advance to the general.
This means that the two Republicans who are the leading candidates were likely going to be the only two choices.
Democrats had been begging.
One of these other Democrats to drop out, but none of them would until now.
Until a woman claims that over the period of a couple of years, she chose to get drunk, go hang out with him in his hotel room, and then, oh no, whoops, it happened again.
So we'll talk about that story.
I mean, look, what do I know?
We'll see what the evidence is, but I have a feeling it's never going to go to criminal prosecution.
This is just a political maneuver to stab the man in the back.
And then, holy crap, Trump blockaded the Strait of Hormuz?
I thought that he didn't want that shut down, but now he shut it down.
And he posted a meme of himself as Jesus, and everyone got real mad.
And then he deleted it and said he thought he was a doctor, but the image was edited to have a demon floating behind him.
And so everybody's just freaking out about that.
We're going to talk about that and a lot more, my friends.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Daniel Hayworth.
daniel hayworth
Hey, Tim, thanks for having me on.
tim pool
Absolutely.
Yeah, who are you?
What do you do?
daniel hayworth
Yeah, so I'm a pastor full time.
I also write for Human Events, where Libby is one of the wonderful editors over there.
And so, I'm a pastor outside of Fort Hood, Texas.
It's the largest military base in the country.
So, Vintage Church is the name of our church.
So, I'm a The location pastor over, we have a handful of locations, and I'm the location pastor over our central location, which is our Harker Heights location, and I'm the executive pastor over the rest of the campuses.
And so that's what I do full time.
And we're obviously very engaged politically there in Texas as well.
We have a lot of stuff that we do, pretty outspoken on some of that stuff, got some traction on it, most recently for our Islam stuff.
tim pool
And we're going to talk about how you're saying Trump is not the Antichrist.
daniel hayworth
I am saying Trump's not the Antichrist.
Ah, okay.
But I do think that AI might be the beast, which is.
unidentified
I agree.
tim pool
Stuff's freaking me out.
We'll talk about this.
It's going to be fun.
Libby's hanging out.
libby emmons
I'm Libby Emmons.
Glad to be here.
Glad to be hanging out with Daniel.
I'm the editor at the Postmillennial and Human Events.
And you can check out my podcast, The Podmillennial.
unidentified
What's up?
Hanging out.
What's up, Phil?
phil labonte
How are you doing?
Phil's here.
What's going on, everybody?
tim pool
Let's get to it.
We got the big story here from CNN.
Swalwell says he plans to resign from Congress amid sexual misconduct allegations.
I have questions, CNN.
Actually, you know what?
I can't do this.
Can I just fix this?
Okay, here's what you do you click inspect, and then we're going to go here and we're going to pull this up and we're going to get rid of sexual misconduct allegations, right?
So we're going to delete that.
We're going to get rid of it amid rape.
unidentified
There you go.
tim pool
I fixed it for you, CNN.
Swalwell says he plans to resign from Congress amid rape allegations.
This is a story about Eric Swalwell.
They call him Fartwell because he farted on MSNBC.
He's accused of rape.
Now, he's dropped out of the race.
The important thing to understand California's got an open primary system for the governor's race.
The top two candidates, party doesn't matter, advance in November, and it's a race between those two people.
Well, the top two candidates were Republicans.
The Democratic Party had been begging these individuals to drop out at least one person.
So that the votes from that one person would move to another candidate, thus giving California the option for a Democrat or Republican, but none of them would.
Until now, after Swalwell was accused of rape.
And this is surprising.
We didn't think he was going to drop out of Congress, resign from Congress, because Democrats were, I mean, it's very thin, Republican control in Congress.
But yeah, he's dropping out, which is absolutely insane.
Now I'm going to say this.
I want to show you guys the story for those that didn't see it.
And I'm going to have to go all anti woke and defend Eric Swalwell.
And I mean it because here's the allegation.
They say a former staffer alleges he pressed himself on her sexually while she worked for him.
And had sex with her twice while she was too intoxicated to consent.
The woman told the paper that Swalwell began pursuing her soon after she was hired at 21 to work in his office in East Bay.
Swalwell, who was married and has three children, sent photos of his junk to the young staffer on Snapchat and pursued her sexually.
In September of 2019, the woman said she woke up naked in Swalwell's hotel room after a dinner out with friends and felt the physical effects of intercourse.
She later left his office but continued to work in politics.
In April of 24, the accuser attended an awards ceremony in New York where Swalwell was being honored.
After meeting up with him, she got drinks with him and ended up intoxicated in his hotel room where he forcibly had sex with her, she claims.
The Chronicle corroborated her claims with medical records and by speaking with friends she had confided in and a former boyfriend.
In response, Swalwell's attorney sent a cease and desist letter to the counsel for the accuser and raised the possibility of a defamation suit.
I gotta admit, I actually feel bad for Swalwell.
Now, I think he's a scumbag.
I think, live by the sword, Eric.
This is what you get.
You came after Kavanaugh.
You know that they were lying about Kavanaugh, but let's just break this down and be honest, okay?
This is a woman who claims she went to dinner with him and had drinks, then went to his hotel room.
She woke up naked in his hotel room.
Yeah, sounds like she went to his hotel room with him and then said, Oh, but I was too intoxicated to consent.
Told no one, said nothing.
Five years later, she goes to meet up with Swalwell again, has drinks with him, goes to his hotel room, and then once again wakes up naked and says, Oh, this time you forced me.
Now, they claim they corroborated medical records.
Apparently, my understanding, I could be wrong, is that she got a pregnancy test shortly after.
and an STD test.
That's what they're claiming.
She did not report a rape.
She didn't say that Swalwell raped her twice.
And I have questions about the mental fact, the cognitive faculties of a woman who claims to have gotten raped and then literally goes back to get drunk with him and goes to his hotel room.
libby emmons
I have these questions as well.
And one thing that I never could quite square with the Me Too movement amid lots of things, but one of the things I could never quite square is this kind of thing where if a woman gets drunk and goes to a man's hotel room, that means she didn't consent.
Like, I don't get that.
tim pool
Don't you know?
I mean, in law, If a woman is driving drunk, she can't be held criminally responsible because she was too drunk to consent to drive.
libby emmons
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
tim pool
She's not responsible.
It's the car's fault.
phil labonte
It's Schrodinger's responsibility.
unidentified
Sure.
phil labonte
That's the way that it works.
libby emmons
What it works too is like if she's drinking and he's drinking, they're both drinking, they decide to do this thing together.
phil labonte
Did you ever see the ad that was placed somewhere in the UK where there was a man and a woman and it was they both go out, they both get drunk, she couldn't consent.
He's a rapist.
And it's like, they both got drunk.
Why is it that he was the one that was the rapist?
Why isn't she the rapist?
libby emmons
Yes.
Why isn't, and also, why isn't she just like admitting, hey, I did some things that I'm not proud of.
I behaved in ways that I'm not happy with, and I'm not going to behave that way again?
phil labonte
Schrodinger's responsibility.
daniel hayworth
It doesn't fall in line with the feminist worldview that the left is beholden to.
libby emmons
Well, it doesn't fall in line with the current feminist worldview that the left is beholden to, but certainly it falls in line with the like Camille Paglia feminist worldview.
tim pool
I, I certainly think that Swalwell was probably like macking on a bunch of women.
He's not a good dude.
He's cheating on his wife or whatever.
But I, you know, as much as it's hard, I got to put it this way there's like, there's scales here, right?
And normally, if there's any other guy who knew a woman and they were, you know, friends with benefits or whatever, hooking up, and then she betrayed him, it's like instantly you feel bad for this guy who's being lied about and falsely accused by someone you thought was his friend.
But then when you weigh it out with he's having an affair on his wife and he's a dirtbag in Congress who falsely accused people himself, It's kind of like it's hard to feel bad for him.
daniel hayworth
We don't have to have any love loss.
Like, I have no love loss for Eric Swalwell.
He's a dirtbag, right?
Like, I'm not.
But here's what I will say I was thinking this is what I thought when I first saw this, which is this is why Democrats vote in lockstep.
I honestly, to God, believe that there's so many people on the Democrat side of the aisle where they just know that if they do anything that's going to offend the party or bring the party out of power, which is what Swalwell was basically his position in the California governor's primary was threatening.
The Democrat Party as a whole, that they just have enough skeletons in the closet for all of their congressional members that they'll just nuke you.
And I think that this is like one of the reasons why Republicans don't always get in lockstep.
And the Democrats, you never see them voting out of lockstep for the last 20 years.
phil labonte
I kind of disagree.
Oh, I disagree with that.
I don't think that Republicans are by nature any better people than Democrats.
I think they just have different.
daniel hayworth
Well, every individual person is obviously.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
I'm not saying that, but I am saying.
The Democrats know how to wield and leverage their power.
phil labonte
You think it's behavioral?
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
Well, and I think that also, I do think that there's more people on the right side of the aisle, and I'm a conservative and Republican, so obviously I think this, but I think that there's more people on our side of the aisle who are genuinely moral than people who are on the left side of the aisle because of the worldview which you hold.
So I think there's some truth to that, but that doesn't mean that, like, I'm not, oh, every person who's a Congressman is a Republican is a good guy.
Like, I'm not saying that.
phil labonte
Obviously, that's not true.
Yeah.
I mean, I agree.
I think that there are people of poor character on both sides of the aisle.
And I do think that Democrats are better at.
At corralling the Democrats.
There was.
daniel hayworth
Because they'll meet you.
They're like, if you threaten our power, we'll meet you.
phil labonte
There used to be a phrase that was thrown around DC the Republicans fall in line and Democrats fall in love, right?
Democrats are all about, well, this person is what I want to believe in, et cetera, whereas Republicans fall in line.
I think that those days are gone.
I think it's clear that Republicans don't fall in line the way that they used to.
And I think you see that with the fighting that's going on with the MAGA base between the MAGA base and the neocons or some decent GOP or whatever.
But I do think that, look, I mean, I'm not in any way upset that this is happening to Swalwell.
I do think anytime a woman has a lot of years between when something happened and when it comes out, it always happens when it's particularly convenient or easy to do.
libby emmons
It's very convenient right now.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
Because there were too many Democrats on the.
Running for governor in California.
phil labonte
And I think that there's substance.
libby emmons
And I think Mike Hilton and another GOP might take the lead, you know.
phil labonte
But I don't feel bad for Swalwell at all.
And I think it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
libby emmons
You heard what he said about Kavanaugh.
I went back and started looking at some of the interviews he gave in 2018.
And he was like, oh, this must be the unluckiest guy ever if all these people are saying that he did this bad thing 20 years ago.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
And he was saying also that the victims, you know, should be.
Paraded into Congress and give their testimony.
I think that should happen for Swallow.
I'm always concerned about anonymous accusations.
I think that's always bogus.
tim pool
He's got an ethics committee investigation, which is probably why he decided to resign.
And he's facing an investigation in New York for perhaps a divorce.
libby emmons
You know, who knows what's going to happen?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, live by the sword.
I think Democrats are just evil people.
libby emmons
For sure.
tim pool
Yep.
libby emmons
For sure.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
I don't agree with, I never agree with Democrats the way that they use these allegations and accusations to take people down.
So even though, you know, Swalwell would do that himself, I think it's wrong to do it, but I'm also not sad to see him go.
daniel hayworth
So what happens when your only virtue is power, which is something that we've talked about?
libby emmons
It's a very Democrat thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
It's like their only virtue is maintaining political power.
And so anything in pursuit of that can be sacrificed for that, which we see play out over and over and over again.
I think this is just like the latest instance of it, but you.
Think honestly about the political landscape.
When was the last time anyone in the Democrat side sacrificed power actually in order to do something virtuous outside of that goal?
tim pool
Yeah, no, Swalwell sacrificing power to save what remains of his power.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, that's right.
tim pool
So let me read a statement.
He said on Axie Post, I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past.
I will fight the serious false allegation made against me.
However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.
I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members.
Expelling anyone in Congress without due process within days of an allegation being made is wrong.
But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties.
Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress.
I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th Congressional District.
I just got to say it again removing all of the politics.
If you have a story of a guy and he likes to work with a young woman, she's into him, they have drinks, they hook up.
A few years later, she meets back up with him.
Presumably, now she's in her late 20s, they have drinks, they're probably having a good time.
Imagine the laughs they were sharing as they were at the bar, hanging out.
He's asking her how it's been.
She hasn't worked for him for a couple of years.
And then they go back to his place and, you know, get it on.
And then later she knifes him in the back for political power.
That's the Democratic Party.
You will be stabbed in the back by demons the moment they can make money off of you.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So again, I don't know.
Maybe the story's true.
Maybe she just got raped twice by the guy and she keeps coming back for more.
I mean, there's a lot of women who get abused by guys that come back to that guy, you know?
libby emmons
She must like him.
phil labonte
Well, you know, I mean, there's the allure of a person in Congress, you know, women are attracted to power.
So I guess she does like, or did like him enough to hang out with him more than once.
libby emmons
And maybe she likes money even more.
And that's why she's owning up to it now.
daniel hayworth
You know, one of the girls was texting him, too, like in between.
I think it was the same girl that was like, hey, you're going to make such a great governor of California, right?
Like, texting him different stuff that had gotten leaked in one of the previous dumps.
Because there's multiple women involved in these different things.
And one of them was like, don't worry, honey, you're going to be great as governor of California.
So you got to think, like, it's not a non consensual, like, Forcible rape situation, at least in some of these things.
And so it just comes back to like, okay, it would be good for us as a country.
And I know I'm a pastor, but I'm just saying it would be great for us as a country if we would recover some of like a more biblical sexual ethic of like, how about you sleep with your wife?
We rein some of this stuff in.
And I know that that's going to get me a lot of hate, but I'll just say you can't get accused of a lot of these things if you're actually pursuing something that's virtuous outside of your own life.
tim pool
Except there's a video of him making out with a woman.
And the conspiracy theory is that in order to be high ranking political in the Democratic Party, they intentionally make you do things on film they can use against you.
libby emmons
And look at it like Scientology, like Scientology.
tim pool
I have no idea if they're doing that.
But with this video of Swalwell, the conspiracy theory is when you come into the private club and they say, like, do you want to be a member of Congress?
Do you want to be a superdelegate?
Do you want to be in power?
Okay, we're going to film you.
That way, if you ever cross us, we'll destroy you.
unidentified
Yeah.
Like a gang.
daniel hayworth
But who would say yes to that, right?
Like, you'd rather just turn around and say, I like if you're in that position, you'd think someone smart would say, I'm actually going to tell this story on the news at 8 a.m. tomorrow and screw you over before you have any leverage over me.
You'd think that at some point somebody would say something.
phil labonte
I mean, if you're not, if you haven't achieved a position of power yet, you're going to be going up against essentially the whole Democrat machine.
And it's just little old you trying to get time with people that are friendly with the Democrat machine.
You know, if you're going to be on the news, who do the news align with, you know?
And second of all, to your earlier point, look, Mike Pence got a lot of flack.
unidentified
I remember.
phil labonte
He made it clear that he doesn't go to dinner by himself with women that are not his wife.
And that, to be honest with you, that's a very smart thing to do.
tim pool
I just watched that new movie on Apple TV, Outcome with Keanu Reeves.
Have you guys heard of it?
unidentified
No.
libby emmons
I haven't seen it.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
It's actually really good.
I wouldn't describe it as a funny comedy, I would just describe it as kind of like an interesting movie with some chuckles in it.
It's supposed to be a black comedy.
And the story is Keanu Reeves is playing a childhood.
Trump Antichrist Claims 00:14:50
tim pool
Celebrity who grows up and is beloved by everybody when he finds out that there is a tape someone's got of him doing something improper, causing him to have a panic attack.
libby emmons
I heard about this.
tim pool
Yeah, it's there's some funny things in it because Jonah Hill's character is psychotic.
He's got a portrait of Kanye West in his office in LA.
There's like a bunch of it's like it's like things like that that are jokes that aren't really ha ha ha, you're laughing your ass off.
However, I have to, I have to, there's a spoiler I'm going to make.
I have to say it because it's very relevant.
He, in the end, I won't give away exactly what happens, but he asks someone, Do you hate me?
He's like a celebrity and people are coming after him.
And the guy's like, No, man, I love you.
I'm just broke.
And that's what I see with stuff like this.
Swalwell is a man with power.
And these women clearly behind the scenes are like, They love him.
Then someone comes to them and says, Do you want power in exchange for burning him?
And they go, Yes, absolutely.
So, I think that more people are oppressed, as you were saying, by demons, influenced by demons than we let on.
There are people out there.
I will tell you this, man.
They have demons on their shoulders.
And I don't mean this figuratively.
You walk to them, you're a regular working class guy.
Let's say you do general trade work, and you meet someone one day, and he's a good guy.
And he buys you a beer, and you're like, you know, Jim's a good dude.
Then, the moment you have something he wants, he slashes your tires, he beats the crap out of you and takes everything and runs.
And you're thinking to yourself, how is it possible that someone could do that?
There are more people like that than anyone knows.
It's just that the demons are looking for someone to prey upon that they can attack.
And Swalwell is standing high on a pedestal.
Not the highest of pedestals, but he's up there.
And I think, and I could be wrong, maybe the allegations are all true, but I doubt it.
I think these women are just like, ooh, you mean I can take from him?
unidentified
I will.
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
Well, you encounter all.
I would say everybody, actually, believe it or not, I would say everybody has dealt with and actively to a degree deals with what we in Christianity would call demonic forces, which means that possession and oppression are different, right?
Not everyone's possessed by a demon, and you don't need to look for a demon under every rock that you kick, but there's an active kingdom of darkness.
That's what, you know, the Bible says that clearly in Ephesians.
It says, Our struggles are not against flesh and blood, against the rulers' authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, meaning there's a world that we can't see.
And I think that the world, that the country is starting to wake up to this.
We've had this really secular.
America for 60 years or so that just taught us that atheistic, secular morality, that's what's been taught in our public school systems.
There is no God.
Atheism is the only way.
And I think people are starting to realize hey, there's something more to this world that I can't see.
And I think that a lot of the stuff that you see makes a lot more sense when you start to view the world through a spiritual lens and say, well, what if a demon were involved in this?
What would they do?
And if you ask yourself that question about like, I would say 75, 80%, I think Libby, we've talked about this before, of the political stories, you would say, Oh, yeah, there's something spiritual going on here that I can't see necessarily in the physical, but that makes sense if you ask yourself the question like, what would somebody who's acting either beholden to or influenced by a worldview or by the whispers of demons do?
And I think that that's what this case is.
tim pool
Let's jump to this story from CNN.
Trump deletes social media posts depicting him as Jesus, but refuses to apologize amid tension with Pope.
Well, here's the image.
Gunther Eagleman says President Trump just posted this powerful painting on Truth Social.
Trump stands radiant in a red robe, laying hands on a sick man while surrounded by American symbols the flag, eagles, fighter jets, the Statue of Liberty, and everyday heroes.
Well, here's the image, and that's clearly Trump as Jesus healing a sick man with divine light.
libby emmons
You don't have a stethoscope of scrubs.
tim pool
Oh, you mean this one right here?
libby emmons
No, I mean Trump.
I was thinking about that.
tim pool
Here's scrubs in his stethoscope.
Here's a weird demon above him.
unidentified
That's weird.
libby emmons
Sure, there's a weird demon in that picture.
tim pool
I mean, to be honest, it's just a weird AI monster.
daniel hayworth
It could just be like a crown.
unidentified
Sure.
daniel hayworth
I think it's actually.
unidentified
I actually.
daniel hayworth
So, this is going to be a little nerd side of me.
That is actually more closely related to, and it's an AI image, so it's not exact.
That's actually more closely aligned to what's described in the Bible as a seraphim, which is actually a type of angel, than it is anything else.
Seraphim are a type of guardian angel that are described in the Bible.
In the book of Ezekiel, you can find some stuff about that.
But that said, it's an AI image, so it looks a lot more demonic because the head is wrong.
libby emmons
Also, because AI is.
daniel hayworth
Also, because AI, I think, is demonic.
So that's a rabbit hole.
But I don't think it's necessarily a demon, is my only comment on that.
tim pool
Trump responded, and here's what he said.
unidentified
Depicted as Jesus Christ?
donald j trump
Well, it wasn't depicted.
It was me.
I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support.
And only the fake news could come up with that one.
So I just heard about it, and I said, How do they come up with that?
It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better.
And I do make people better.
I make people a lot better.
As an example, the 11,000, I understand your husband's going.
tim pool
That is the worst.
I've ever seen from Trump.
And Trump's a spinster.
So, well, he's a spin master, a spinster, or something else.
So, I was watching Fox today.
And in one of their quick news alerts, it was like Donald Trump is being criticized for an image depicting him wearing a white robe and healing a sick man.
Trump has made a statement.
And I'm like, whoa, That is not at all what's going on.
Trump is being criticized because I'm assuming.
Someone took a picture of Jesus and said, Make it Donald Trump in the AI, and this is what it made.
And it's just, you know, very weird.
So immediately, this is the reaction that we got.
British morning show guest declares Trump is the Antichrist.
Check this out.
unidentified
But I'm just going to say this, right?
I am a person that was raised a Catholic.
I did all the sacraments, I read the book, you know.
I lost my faith, but I still find that deeply, deeply offensive.
Which is.
tim pool
Okay, I just got to pause and say, Shut up.
I lost my faith, but I'm offended.
No, you're shocked.
unidentified
All of it.
How dare you.
That is blasphemous.
What the picture you mean?
The picture is blasphemous.
It's a huge disrespect.
That in itself is the breaking of a commandment.
The man himself has broken all, in my mind, all but eight.
So he's broken eight of the ten commandments.
This guy, in my opinion, is the Antichrist.
That's a different one.
So no wonder he doesn't like the Pope.
I have no.
tim pool
He's the Antichrist.
I mean, so I will just say this, and then we can have this discussion.
Several years ago, we had a conversation on.
The Culture Award podcast with some eschatologists, amateur eschatologists on social media, where this is 2023.
They said on the show if Donald Trump suffers any kind of injury to the right side of his head or face, and he nearly dying or has some kind of injury to his right arm, he is the Antichrist.
And at the time, we're like, I mean, come on.
And then Trump took a bullet to the side of the head, suffering an injury that seemingly was a mortal wound where he falls down and people don't know if he's dead, but then he rises up, raising his fist, blood dripping down.
Seemingly healed or surviving, some say a false resurrection.
And right now, he's got this growing blotch on his arm that is spreading, and he's been covering it up with makeup.
Have you seen this?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And now, what's happening is people are saying he's got the injury to the right side of his face, and he has the withering right arm.
Now, with these images of him as the Messiah and that woman in the White House, in the Oval Office, who said, You have a lot in common with another man.
libby emmons
Paula Wright.
tim pool
Is that who that was?
libby emmons
I don't remember, but that's his personal pastor.
tim pool
And then everyone got mad saying he's comparing himself to Jesus.
So.
Again, I'm not offended by this.
I think, you know, my attitude is kind of like, you know, whatever.
But there are a lot of people now saying that Trump is the Antichrist, and more and more we are seeing signs.
libby emmons
People were saying Trump is the Antichrist for a long time.
tim pool
Yes, but.
daniel hayworth
People want an excuse, I think, to say Trump's the Antichrist to a certain category of people.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
A bullet to the right side of his head that many people at the moment thought he died when he got shot, when there's a shot rang out and he grabs it and the blood's on his hand and then he goes down.
I remember when that happened and seeing the video.
No one had any idea what was going on.
And then he stands up with his fist raised and yells, fight, fight, fight.
And this was a seemingly mortal wound that did not stop him.
And then he rises up, but he's also got the withered hand.
So, of course, I got to say, like, having a world leader who hits at least, like, even just two of the criteria is worrying.
I'm not saying Trump is the Antichrist, but I can see why people are starting to freak out.
And, you know, Clint Russell, a friend of the show, said in the last year and a half, he went from hesitantly voting for Donald Trump to now believing he might be the Antichrist.
A lot of people.
Are starting to think that might be the case.
libby emmons
I mean, I have issues with this.
I don't find it personally offensive necessarily.
I do find it blasphemous entirely because if I was going to be personally offended, I'd be offended by like tons of stuff all the time, which is stupid.
But this is idolatry.
He's idolizing himself and casting himself in the role of Jesus Christ.
And that is against the rules.
You know, that stupid lady is kind of right about that one.
Well, it's a false God and he's worshiping him.
And it's himself.
tim pool
I'm going to give Trump.
I'm going to give Trump much, much less credit than that.
I'm going to give Trump much, much less credit than that.
libby emmons
I'm giving the demons who are perhaps controlling the government credit.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
Listen.
tim pool
I think what actually happened is Occam's Razor is that he gets sent memes by staffers that he doesn't really pay attention to.
And someone sent him this image because it was some pastor posted in February.
And Trump glanced at it and then just hit share and then posted the truth, not really thinking.
daniel hayworth
That's really similar to my take.
libby emmons
Because I would give him full agency.
daniel hayworth
They print.
Stuff to him.
They hand it off.
He looks at it on pieces of paper, and you just kind of think about like boomers, and they're like, LOL.
Like, I just see him looking at that and going, Cool.
libby emmons
And I mean, maybe it had like the inkjet lines in it.
unidentified
I love it.
daniel hayworth
No, they have nicer printers at the White House, but it was still printed out.
tim pool
There was a Pokemon card that had a swastika on it because the original Japanese print in Japan, they don't think twice about the Buddhist symbol.
And when it went to America, nobody really thought about it.
And they were like, Oh, wait.
And so they had to get rid of it and like redo the art, I guess.
Or they might have redone it before it got to America, but.
libby emmons
Is the original really valuable still?
unidentified
Is what?
libby emmons
Is the original really valuable?
tim pool
I don't know if they stopped it from going to print.
The story that I heard was that it got released and then they panicked.
They may have changed it before it got there.
I could be wrong.
But the general idea is just that.
Like, I don't think Trump is the kind of guy.
I don't, first of all, I don't think he thought it was him as a doctor.
unidentified
That's stupid.
libby emmons
That's stupid.
tim pool
He didn't even see it, though.
libby emmons
Like, do you think he owned it?
He said, yes, I posted it.
And then he explained this whole stupid thing about how it was a doctor, which obviously it isn't, about how he supports the Red Cross, which obviously he doesn't.
He cut funding to the Red Cross, you know, and then he went on to say that he actually really is a healer because of, you know, no tax on tips, apparently.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, he's, I mean, he's obviously trying to make any political cost to him on this because I think it would that actually makes me think a lot more, Libby, that what Tim and I are kind of saying is right, which is that he's like, didn't really want to pick a fight with Christians.
So I definitely don't think that.
So he's like looking at it, he's like, well, I'm not trying to fight this fight.
So he's like, I'll delete it and I'll be like, hey, this isn't what I thought.
I do think, I will say, I don't think Trump's the Antichrist and I don't actually think that he thinks he's Jesus Christ.
And I think that there's a lot of reasons that you can look at more serious statements that he's made over the past year or two that.
Talk about how he's open to the faith as a whole.
I don't think that Trump is like a spiritual leader for me personally, so I'm not worried on that front.
phil labonte
And he's barely a political leader.
unidentified
Anybody?
daniel hayworth
I think that if you take him as such, that you are wrong for doing so, he's a political figure.
And I think that that doesn't mean that you don't have to be held accountable for certain actions.
But I do think that this was a lot less serious, like Tim said.
phil labonte
What is that?
daniel hayworth
And I think a lot of people are reacting to it.
phil labonte
What does that mean, though?
What is holding him accountable for posting a dumb picture?
daniel hayworth
But that's what I'm saying, is like, I'm not saying impeachment.
tim pool
He's got to go.
unidentified
He's got to go.
daniel hayworth
I'm saying there are times when even non spiritual by nature figures have to be held accountable for their views on things.
And obviously, we all believe that.
We don't believe that these things are completely separated out the moral from the political, or else we would just be a communist.
libby emmons
Yeah, I mean, I'll say that I will hold the girl who got drunk and had sex with Swalwell in his hotel room fully accountable for her actions, and I will hold Trump fully accountable for his.
daniel hayworth
Sure.
What does that mean for you?
tim pool
Yeah, what's the accountability?
libby emmons
Well, I don't have any power, right?
So, I mean, I don't have any power in the president's ear.
Well, I think that people should take a close look at what it is that he's saying in this case.
tim pool
I know, but what's accountability?
What's the penance?
Should he say 10 Hail Marys?
libby emmons
I don't know.
I mean, I don't think he goes to confession.
Certainly, if he did go to confession and he said, I don't go to confession.
I don't go to confession.
tim pool
What do you think the penalty for this transgression is?
libby emmons
I think that I don't think that there's like a penalty that exists for Trump.
He's not going to apologize.
He didn't walk it back.
phil labonte
I thought I was a doctor.
libby emmons
Yeah.
You know, you could see that.
daniel hayworth
So are you saying like people should stop supporting him over this or like what's the.
libby emmons
I'm saying that people who do support him should believe Trump when he tells them who he is.
tim pool
I got to be honest.
I am not a Christian.
The Iran war thing was really bad and I still supported him, but this crossed the line for me.
This is the one thing that did it.
Trump posted a meme that was blasphemous.
But you know, the funny thing is, it actually feels like that's true.
There are a lot of people.
libby emmons
You know, I hate the war.
And then this is like another little slap in the face.
Losing Trump Supporters 00:04:18
tim pool
But like when I woke up, when I come in, I start looking at the media, like social media blowing up, talking about Trump posting this.
It was funny to see the people who were like, no new wars.
I voted for Trump.
Iran war starts.
And they say, I'm not a fan of this, but I got to stand with the president because we don't want to lose.
And I'm like, I agree with that.
Then he posts this, and there's a lot of people that are just like, I'm done.
This is too far.
And I'm like, look, I get it.
I mean, this is your immortal soul right here.
A war with Iran is earthly dealings.
A lot of people, I think, are rightly, if you are a Christian, I understand why they're upset about it.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
So, I mean, here's what I would say.
Like, in my.
libby emmons
He worships himself.
That's disgusting.
daniel hayworth
So, here's what I would say about all people who are.
Or if you are apart from biblically, if you're apart from Christ in any way, then you're following after something that's not the ideal, which is Christ, or not the truth, which is Christ.
And so, do I know if Trump is a believer?
No, but I think that he's probably curious right now, which I'm hopeful for.
And so I pray for that because I think he's done a good job leading our country.
And so I pray for that.
But am I getting up every day and thinking, like, what does Donald Trump think about my faith?
No, I'm not.
And so when I see something like this, I'm like, all right, I don't love that, but I also didn't vote for him to.
Do that.
I need him.
I would like him to not do this, but I also am not going to like bail on him and say, like, the world is over.
I'm voting Democrat now, right?
libby emmons
Because, like, well, but that's the thing, too.
There are no Democrat options, right?
I mean, the Democrats are totally played out.
tim pool
Well, there's Swallow.
libby emmons
Oh, dude.
unidentified
Oh, wait a second.
Dang it.
daniel hayworth
We almost had hope.
libby emmons
But the thing is, I don't care what Trump thinks about my faith, even a little bit.
I do think that it is a misstep to worship yourself and to put yourself on a pedestal like this.
And I think that if you have a leader who is full of self worship, Then your nation might have a problem.
Yeah, I think that's because who are we following?
We're following a man who worships himself.
daniel hayworth
That's not like new information, though.
libby emmons
Well, here it is.
Here it is in color and AI.
tim pool
Yeah, no, I have to agree.
Like the man puts his name in big gold letters on the top of skyscrapers.
libby emmons
Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised by this.
I do think there's a difference between owning a bunch of property in New York and slapping your name on it whenever your management company gets a contract and this.
tim pool
I think Trump's going to lose a lot of supporters over this.
daniel hayworth
I think it's going to be more politically detrimental than is necessary.
But I agree with you.
I agree that he's going to lose the score.
And I would say I don't think some.
tim pool
His approval among non college whites is now in the negatives, which is wild.
unidentified
Well, it's crazy.
tim pool
He has been dropping support precipitously over the past several months.
CBS News poll just came out showing Trump is currently minus four among non college whites.
Minus four.
He was at, in September, he was at 10.
I'm sorry, in February, he was at like 10.
September, he was like 24.
And a year ago, he was plus 36.
He is going down.
daniel hayworth
Well, I will say this about the evangelical voter bloc it is the most reliably conservative voter bloc in the country for the past 50 years, and it continues to be that.
And so pissing off.
The base in this way is not ideal, politically speaking.
You know, the spiritual side, it's not a good political move.
tim pool
So, is he the Antichrist?
daniel hayworth
No, I don't think so.
unidentified
No.
daniel hayworth
AI is probably the beast.
phil labonte
He's just a clown.
tim pool
So, why do you think he's not the Antichrist?
daniel hayworth
So, well, some of the things you're describing aren't necessarily biblical characteristics of the Antichrist.
When I consider these figures that we talk about when we talk about eschatology, which is the study of the end, you always come back to what does the Bible actually say?
What does God's word actually say?
tim pool
It says the false shepherd has a withered right arm.
And he's blinded in the right eye.
daniel hayworth
Kind of.
Well, it doesn't say he's necessarily blinded in the right eye.
Some of these things are descriptions of different characters that are often lumped together.
That's another thing that's important to distinguish.
Like a lot of the descriptions of the beast or the false prophets, it's disagreed upon or it's either just lumped in together in the general in mainstream sort of pop culture, what these people are.
What is necessarily true of the Antichrist is that he comes after several other key figures in our eschatology and after several other key events.
The AI Layoff Trap 00:15:28
daniel hayworth
And for like, uh, like who and what, yeah.
So, like the beast, uh, the beast comes the beast is here already, yeah.
Well, the beast is not actively present, exerting power over the world, yes, the mark hasn't been uh, issued to people.
And so, those kinds of things I think so coming on the scene.
Well, you, I mean, I would love to hear your argument on that.
tim pool
Uh, yeah, it's have you seen how many businesses no longer allow cash?
You must have your cell phone, yeah.
libby emmons
I hate that.
tim pool
You can't rent cars anymore, you can't get on planes.
You, most of the grocery stores I go in the metro area have zero cash.
You must have your device networked to the machine.
Which is being dictated by AI, a multi headed beast of horns.
I certainly think the AI is the beast and it's here.
libby emmons
The one good thing that Tish James ever did in New York was say that businesses had to accept cash, that they could not force people to use paperless currency.
tim pool
It really pissed me off when I go to the airport and my app would not load my ticket.
So I went to the kiosk.
And the machines don't print tickets anymore.
unidentified
That's right.
tim pool
They tell you they're going to send you an email to your phone.
And I was like, that's the problem.
My phone's not pulling it up for some reason.
So I scan the QR code and the app opens, no ticket.
And then I'm like, so I had to delete the app so that it would trigger a web browser to send me an email or something.
It was super annoying.
I suppose if you go up to the counter and say, I don't have a phone, it doesn't work.
But it is wild.
You go to places and they're like, we don't take cash.
And you're like, how do I buy from you?
You can't.
Yeah.
You must have.
libby emmons
And the people who are working at the store don't care.
Because they don't own the store.
They have no stake in the store.
unidentified
There's a viral video.
libby emmons
If the door is locked for the whole day and they're in the store, they're still going to get paid.
tim pool
There's a viral video where a guy orders a sandwich at Jimmy John's and then it starts with them arguing.
And the guy's like, I can't accept cash from you.
I don't have change.
And he was like, That's not my problem.
And the guy's like, You can't have the sandwich.
And he's like, I have money to pay you.
You have to accept it.
He's like, I can't.
And they get into an argument over it.
Like, this is where we're at already.
You are going to have to be networked into the machine with the social credit score.
All of this is coming, and I will tell you this right now.
It's funny how this relates to everything.
The powers that be, the political elites, the tech bros have known for probably 20 years that AI, which they've been building for a long time, is going to destroy the global economy overnight.
And they are intentionally holding it back and trickling it out to try and prevent a dam from bursting.
They want to slowly flood the valleys that people get up and start leaving, all of their worldly possessions left behind and destroyed, but not all at once so you don't get a Luddite revolution 2.0.
But that's how bad it's going to be.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, I think that there can be an argument made that there is a Luddite revolution brewing right now.
Just look at the attacks on Sam Altman's house.
tim pool
Oh, agreed, agreed.
The guy Molotov this house, another guy went to a politician's and shot it up.
I think that people underestimate the.
You know, let's do this.
Let's just jump right into it.
We got to get the Strait of Hormuz stuff in here, but I got to pull up this story.
We've got this tweet.
From Evan Luthera.
Researchers just mathematically proved that AI layoffs will destroy the economy, and every CEO already knows it, but none of them can stop.
It's called the AI layoff trap.
Every company replacing workers with AI is also firing its own customers.
Every let-off employee is someone who used to spend money.
When enough people lose their jobs, nobody can afford to buy anything, and the companies that fire everyone go bankrupt, selling products to an economy with no purchasing power.
So, this is an academic research paper.
We got this from, what was it, ARXIV, ARXIV, Cornell University.
Talking about the AI layoff trap.
We've described this very phenomenon on this show.
When I said that AI is going to take everyone's jobs away, there's not going to be any people.
The response I often get is no, no, no, no.
There won't be people to do the jobs, but the companies can replace those lost workers with robots.
Except you can't replace your customers with robots.
This is going to happen.
And every CEO knows this, they have had meetings about it.
The things that I have learned.
Recently, from people in the space, have sent chills down my spine.
I genuinely believe AI is the beast or whatever.
This is a machine.
I'll put it like this I'll give you the gist of it.
Tech bros and CEOs got together and had a meeting, and they all said, Look at what we've built.
And they said, My God, if we release this technology to the public right now, the global economy ceases to exist overnight.
What's going to happen is that mid managers, upper level managers, senior VP level individuals, These are people who make maybe $500,000 a year.
They are out of jobs instantly.
You no longer need the white collar managerial class.
But these people are not stupid.
They are hard workers and slightly above average intelligence.
What will happen if you eliminate low level jobs?
You'll get a bunch of angry poor people who become communists or, say, burn down a warehouse.
What happens if you then nuke all the mid level managers and upper level managers?
You now have an organizing force behind a revolution.
They know this.
They are concerned about it.
So they are slowly releasing this technology.
The dam is going to break.
They're trying to make it a gradual flooding of the zone so that instead of an overnight change that results in massive violence and political revolution, people just slowly lose their livelihoods and become destitute one at a time so that there is not enough of a critical mass so that there will be a physical violent revolution.
I'll give you another example.
One of my favorite stories that I've told a million times eBay in the 90s had a yellow website.
They decided to update the website and make it white.
They changed it overnight and everyone started complaining.
They were flooded with complaints from people saying, I hate the new website, change it back.
The white is awful.
So they did.
Everyone calmed back down.
Then every day from that point on, they would increment one degree, one value from yellow towards white.
One year later, the website was white and no one complained.
libby emmons
No one noticed, yeah.
tim pool
You will own nothing.
And you will be happy.
That is the agenda.
It's all connected.
Why they want to bring in a bunch of low skilled labor, there's a bunch of political theories.
One of these, at the highest level, is a UBI will need to be implemented.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
And Elon said this publicly.
tim pool
Indeed.
The strategy, one of the proposed strategies, is to give every single person $10,000 per year, no matter what, rich, poor, or otherwise.
The goal here is to create a baseline that everybody will get access to.
That way, if you are an insurance company mid level manager managing employees, we don't need you anymore.
Actually, the adjusters, the people who actually go out and do the inspections, we'll need them.
But the managers we don't need, AI can handle all of the back and forth for paperwork, hiring, firing, HR, all that stuff.
We don't need you anymore.
These people will then be less upset.
They may have lost their $40,000, $50,000 a year job, but they're not going to be hungry and homeless.
They will just be low class.
So instead of being hungry, why won't they be homeless?
libby emmons
10,000 isn't enough for housing and food for one year.
tim pool
The idea is a welfare base that makes sure.
I'll put it like this.
The three functions of revolution is when, what is it?
You can't have access to food, security, or what's the third one?
Is it?
It's not water, I don't think.
unidentified
Maybe shelter, maybe?
tim pool
Yeah, shelter.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So, they want to make sure everybody has a base amount of food and shelter to prevent a revolution.
If AI rolls out in its full potential right now, every company fires every white collar manager.
All of a sudden, you have foreclosures.
All their houses are gone.
phil labonte
I don't think that happens.
tim pool
People stop buying from grocery stores.
phil labonte
I don't think that happens that fast.
The reason is because the adoption.
The reason I'm telling you why I don't think that is because right now, there's a lot of jobs that AI could replace, but the adoption isn't as fast as some people think.
tim pool
So, let me just reiterate.
The AI technology they already have surpasses what they've released to the public.
The CEOs have had meetings about this.
They know if they release the technology as rapidly as it's developed right now, every company goes out of business overnight.
Every employee can't afford their house.
Phil, you're shaking your head, but you're misunderstanding.
The AI technology you experience is 3% of what they actually have.
phil labonte
That doesn't have an effect on what the speed of adoption would be.
unidentified
It will.
phil labonte
I mean, that's an assertion with no evidence.
Right now, there are a lot of jobs that can be done by AI that companies have not done a ton of firing.
tim pool
Because we don't have the full capability of AI being released intentionally because the companies know if they do, they will wipe out too many jobs too fast.
This is why Agenda 2030 was put together by the World Economic Forum because they've been working on this technology since the 70s.
They know exactly what is going to happen.
This research paper on the AI layoff trap.
Is just the public finally recognizing what these people have already known.
I was talking to a handful of people who work in the sector recently who said, behind the scenes, the stuff that we have will blow your mind and is intentionally being held back because the government is concerned, these companies are concerned, they will wipe out the housing market overnight.
They will wipe out the global economy overnight, and that will not be conducive to the end goals of what the technology and progress would be.
If we want a functioning society with like Star Trek level replicators and AI doing everything, Then it has to be tapered out in a way where you slowly flood the zone over time.
People will lose their jobs and lose their livelihoods.
And in the end, the valley will be wiped out, but most people will have slowly moved on.
If the dam breaks right now, if they were to release technology they actually have access to, then everyone's screaming and running.
There's chaos in the streets, refugees everywhere.
phil labonte
The reason that they're holding Mythos back isn't because of the capability of Mythos.
unidentified
I'd say Mythos.
phil labonte
Well, Mythos is the model that they have right now.
tim pool
And this is a totally Unrelated thing to nothing.
phil labonte
So you're talking about like something that no one knows about except for like the people that are.
tim pool
Well, I'll put it this way.
We've seen C Dance 2, the Chinese AI for making videos, and we've shown the video trailers, we've played music from AI.
These industries are already gone.
The C Dance 3, according to leaks, they have this technology right now.
In 30 seconds, they can make 17 minute short films with a single prompt.
And they are functional, perfect short films.
That's the report.
Videos have gone viral showing Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise fighting over Epstein.
And everyone went, wow, C Dance is now available to the public.
We got this movie trailer where John Cena and Alan Richson are going around fighting neighborhood bullies.
And we're watching that going, holy crap, it looks very real.
That is probably 2% or 3% of the actual capabilities they have.
That they are intentionally not releasing, they could right now say available for purchase, but Hollywood would cease to exist overnight.
Suno 5.5, the AI music generator.
Like we were talking about before the show, I'm like, I don't know how music exists.
I think that right now music exists to us because we have an attachment to cultural elements, the individuals, the experiences that we had in our lives when that music played.
But the next generation is going to grow up surrounded by AI music and they will have no emotional attachment to older bands.
Now, again, these companies have technology like Google Gemini already internally can make full feature films.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
C Dance can already do it.
The reason they're not releasing it, they say, is like, well, you know, the energy required, blah, blah, blah.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
They have more than just this capability.
Already, when it comes to YouTube, is a great example.
If these companies released their full AI capability, we would not exist as a company.
And we're already feeling the pressure.
Everyone is feeling the pressure.
It is estimated that around a third of YouTube is AI generated content now.
And what they're making is mini docs.
Look at TikTok and Instagram.
It's almost entirely now.
daniel hayworth
They're flooding a lot of AI into those.
tim pool
There's a kid who got interviewed by Fortune who says he does 100,000 bucks a month or something.
And all he does is he says for two hours a day, he works.
Two hours a day, he's a millionaire.
He goes on some program, clicks search trending YouTube.
He then clicks, here's a topic I think works, generate.
It auto generates a video.
He makes six hour videos on ancient Roman philosophy.
And it's an AI voice speak it.
And it takes him two hours to do, and he's making 100 grand per month.
This is temporary.
But what's going to happen is.
It starts with the big networks.
CNN, Fox, MSNBC, cable TV news.
Technology comes in that allows shows like this to exist.
For a low cost, we can do a high quality production.
We can do a show that these companies spend millions on, and we laugh.
It's cheap for us.
We're in the space.
AI has just further leveled the playing field with everybody.
And now people with little to no talent or work ethic can compete with talented individuals trying to build and produce content.
If these companies released the full capability, Of their video production, I'd be able to go on there and say, load up the top 10 articles and make a full episode of Timcast IRL, and it would render it in 30 seconds.
I hit upload and I'd walk away and be done for the day.
They're intentionally not releasing this technology right now because it's going to, first of all, the technology to manage an insurance company exists easily through these LLMs.
They are not releasing this just yet because they don't want to blow up the economy.
libby emmons
But that's the point.
tim pool
Get released?
The argument is you will own nothing and you will be happy.
libby emmons
Right, but isn't people not going to like it?
You won't.
tim pool
But what about the kid who's one year old today who has no understanding of economics, of culture, and they grow up in a world where these jobs never existed in the first place?
daniel hayworth
Sure.
So I think, Tim, if we just assume everything that you said is completely accurate, I think the only question that really comes down to is when we say fast, what does that really look like?
Global Economy Risks 00:14:57
daniel hayworth
And decisions that are made on behalf of, you know, there's, People at certain companies and governments and stuff that are going to, there's a political part of this that's going to play out too.
And that's anybody's guess how things are going to end up getting rolled out.
Because some company might go and say, hey, you guys aren't going to release your stuff, but we're going to make a billion dollars, hundreds of billion dollars by releasing our stuff.
tim pool
There's something called a national security letter.
And that's when the federal government shows up, goes to the CEO and slides a letter across their desk and they say, you will die if you cross us.
phil labonte
The idea that there is, so I don't think that this is accurate because I don't think that there is a secret AI.
If there was that technology, China has so thoroughly infiltrated the United States and even a lot of the companies that are making these cutting edge LLMs.
If there was that, I think that China would have already released it or they would be.
tim pool
It's a secret AI.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, you're saying that there's an AI that hasn't been released.
You're saying that there are AI.
tim pool
Every single company's AI capability is like 10 or 20 fold the public release.
phil labonte
It's a fact, right?
So the point that.
No, it's not a fact.
I don't think so.
unidentified
It is.
phil labonte
I don't think it's a fact.
tim pool
The internal capabilities of these AI companies.
They have publicly admitted they're like outside of what I'm discussing, where the what I've heard from people who work in the AI space is that they've the CEOs have already met together and discussed this, and the government has been involved.
That the capabilities of AI as it exists right now is too powerful to be released, it will destroy the economy.
Same thing is true for China.
All of that aside, it is a publicly admitted fact that every one of these companies has a substantially more powerful version of their AI than the other.
phil labonte
I understand what you're saying.
So that's that's why I said mythos, right?
That's the most cutting edge, the one that that.
That Anthropicus says that they are giving to, I think it's 11 different companies because of the capabilities of it.
I don't think they have one that's more advanced than Meet Those.
I don't think they have a ChatGPT that's more advanced than whatever, F5 is the next one coming.
They're working on it.
And if they did, I don't think that the United, just because the United States and companies that are in the United States would say, say hypothetically, they get together and say, we're not going to release our, our, our most cutting edge model because it'll, it'll damage the economy too much.
China doesn't have any of those same compunctions.
China continuously releases their, these advanced models that are, that are, um, that are open source.
So they don't even hide the code.
They're just like, they give them away for free.
So if those technologies did exist, I think China would be, you know, would at least be releasing Models that are as advanced as Mythos, because right now, one of the things that China deals with is the fact that they don't get the high end, the fastest, the best chips, right?
There's the United States has an ITAR between, or something.
I think it's ITAR, but Taiwan doesn't send them their most advanced chips.
So if there was a model so advanced that wasn't being.
tim pool
I feel like this is not.
I feel like your response, you're intentionally exaggerating what I'm saying to make it sound impossible.
A model so advanced.
We know that the internal models for these companies are substantially more advanced than the public release.
unidentified
Right?
phil labonte
Well, I mean, I'm like, so I know that Mythos is, and I know that they're consistently trying to.
Mythos is the most.
tim pool
It's the one where they said that it would compromise all security because it would crack every zero day.
phil labonte
Well, yeah, because they said that it's really good at that.
tim pool
That's a different issue.
The fact is, C Dance 3 is the easiest example that we have where we know for a fact.
Well, I don't say we, but we've seen C Dance 2.
The first thing is, Obviously, companies have RD.
So, internally, before they release something, they've got more advanced versions not yet ready for public release for a variety of reasons.
But we're already looking at companies laying off tens of thousands of people.
Like every week, there's a new story about massive.
daniel hayworth
How much time do you think this is going to happen over?
This is the time that I'm interested in, I think, because I think implementation timeline, all that stuff affects what all this is.
Boy, you think a couple years until something happens.
tim pool
And the point is, it would be exponentially faster if not for the political machinations.
Behind the scenes to reduce the speed at which this happens, they don't want to blow up the global economy.
So, you are going, again, I'm going to say this.
For those that don't believe me, SUNO.com, you can go in and type in any kind of song you want and have a studio level Hollywood music, LA production song done.
You can go to ChatGPT and say, write lyrics about a song where Trump is the greatest president.
Take those lyrics.
Actually, don't even do this.
Suno can do all of it.
When we look at the video generation stuff, it's crazy.
Like C Dance 2 is mind blowing.
These videos that are already coming out.
With rumors of what Sea Dance 3 can do, Hollywood is over.
There's already production studios that are trying to do this.
There's already record labels that are talking about making AI personalities.
OnlyFans is what 17%, I think was the number they said, is AI generated women that men are paying for for sex content.
libby emmons
That's so gross, yeah.
tim pool
You go to Suno and you say, make me a song, and it's shocking.
daniel hayworth
So I'm not even doubting the capabilities.
I mean, I can believe that either there is something right now or there's something soon to be coming that's at the level of the world.
tim pool
Sorry, let me just.
Put it like this.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
If I were to, uh, uh, how, like, Phil, how long does it take for your average, uh, like, band and producer from conception to publication to make a, like, professional level song?
phil labonte
Uh, the fastest that we've ever done it was like three months.
unidentified
Three months?
phil labonte
Yeah.
unidentified
Really?
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, from, I'm going to start writing a song right now.
Three months later, the song is done?
phil labonte
Uh, well, I mean, you can write us, and you're, if you're talking about recording and editing and everything, all that stuff, I think the fact, like, we did, we did the Fall of Ideals.
We did it.
We started writing in January and we were finished recording by, so four months, by the end of April.
tim pool
Four months.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
I can make a song in 20 seconds.
20 seconds right now on screen.
libby emmons
You think it's as good as anything that is made by people?
phil labonte
It'll be good.
tim pool
Let me play like this is a song that I made in 20 seconds.
I'll just skip ahead.
unidentified
Go.
tim pool
30 seconds to make that song.
Literally, no joke, 30 seconds.
And that's just one example.
Now, here's my point making a song takes months at the highest level.
Technology has been released that will allow me to make something comparable in seconds.
To manage, do you believe it is more or less difficult to be a manager at an insurance firm or to be a Hollywood level music producer making music?
Which is more difficult?
libby emmons
Which is more difficult?
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
I definitely think the song, the songwriting.
tim pool
Making movies and music is substantially more difficult.
libby emmons
I think managing people is not easy.
tim pool
I didn't say it was easy, but I'm pretty like.
daniel hayworth
It is what you don't care about the people like a lot of people do.
tim pool
The fact that, just from Phil's experience as one of the highest levels of music production, it's four months to get a song done.
And realistically, I think some songs can be done faster depending on the type of music or whatever.
phil labonte
If you have everybody lined up and the time, you could probably do it in a week.
Because a lot of the times, you're dealing with other people's schedules, getting schedules.
tim pool
It's still a component that I think factors in.
The point is this releasing technology that can make high level music productions is not particularly disruptive to the economy because the music industry is already relatively disrupted and has been for some time.
daniel hayworth
Since the advent of Spotify and all these other major platforms that took away from record deals.
tim pool
Movies have been going down in revenue substantially over the past six years.
It is substantially easier to be a manager at an insurance company than it is to be a high level music producer.
That's why there are so few of them relative to insurance.
If it was easy to produce music, you'd just have tons and tons and there'd be a lot of success and there'd be a big market for it.
But actually, the way I like to describe it to the commies, the question I ask is here's a question for you.
How many people do you know play guitar?
daniel hayworth
I mean, a bunch.
tim pool
A bunch, right?
Yeah.
How many of them do you think, given the opportunity, would choose to have that be their solo career?
To play music.
daniel hayworth
Less than five.
phil labonte
Also, I want to know what can play guitar mean?
tim pool
This is the point of the question.
How many of them would like to be a professional musician?
daniel hayworth
Yeah, I mean, an extremely limited number.
tim pool
You think if you went to one of your friends to play guitar and said, How would you like to be a famous rock star?
He'd say, No.
unidentified
No.
daniel hayworth
I think most of the people I know don't consider themselves good enough to do that.
So that's the limiting factor there.
tim pool
So that's the question.
daniel hayworth
But if they were like, If I was good enough, yeah, sure.
A lot of people.
tim pool
Everybody would say yes.
Money for nothing, it's just free.
And the question is, how many of them have the skill to do it?
daniel hayworth
Sure, it's a tough one.
tim pool
The point is this certainly, there are many realistic people who would be like, I'd never be good enough.
And I tell this to commies because when they talk about universal basic income, that's the questions that I ask.
Because what will happen is people will say, well, I may not be good enough, but I have all the time in the world and free money, so why do anything else?
You'll get rid of all of your plumbers and you'll have a whole bunch of guitar players who suck.
The point is this it is difficult to be a high level talented musician, and even people who are really talented sometimes barely make any money.
You'll be playing at a coffee shop for a couple bucks.
It is much, much harder to be successful in music than it is to be a manager at an insurance company.
The technology that these companies have can automate most of these white collar jobs right now, and they are not releasing it intentionally.
The stuff that's being released is because it's the least disruptive to the global economy.
daniel hayworth
Do you think at some point it's going to get released?
That's really my question.
And so, and I think it gets to the more interesting question of this whole discussion is because really we're all wondering, okay.
If true, which I'm willing to concede every single thing that you say, I actually agree with you about a lot of this, which is that I think a lot of these jobs are going to get outsourced.
What happens to the people?
And I think the communist argument is we just give you money to get you to shut up.
And it's not possible.
That's extremely, extremely detrimental to the human condition.
tim pool
It's right now, the structure of our economy, we cannot shift into the issue is this.
Right now, we still need labor jobs.
That means that if we were to automate most white collar jobs, mid level jobs, Creative jobs.
daniel hayworth
You can't AI a plumber.
tim pool
If you can't.
And if you give everybody money, $10,000, right?
Then everyone is going to try and rush to be a trades worker because that's the only thing that gives you supplemental income.
There will be people who own the vending machines.
This economy is impossible.
It's impossible to fund UBI.
I think you'd need something like, what is it, $30 trillion per year?
daniel hayworth
Yeah, it's insane.
tim pool
For 10 grand a month or something like that?
daniel hayworth
Yeah, it's inconceivable.
tim pool
Inconceivable.
And so.
Even if you did a low UBI of like a hundred bucks a month, how do you afford giving a hundred dollars worth of value to every person in the country?
It's not possible to do.
So, it is possible that there is a future where technology is so advanced that we have customizable liquid robots that do all the grunt work, that do all the farming.
We're not going to be there for some time.
There's a handful of theories.
One, AI will reach the singularity, the point at which it is so powerful it can develop itself faster than a human can.
At that point, it's an exponential growth curve where in a week, it's effectively beyond our comprehension.
It can tell you, you could pick up a rock and say, Tell me where this rock came from, and it'll map the entire earth and show you the exact formation of this rock.
Crazy things like that.
It'll be able to scan your blood and tell you how long you're going to live, what diseases you will get.
That's when we reach the singularity.
The challenge right now is, well, actually, I'll say this.
There are already people who work in the industry who are speculating we have reached artificial superintelligence.
This is somewhat separate to what I'm discussing.
This one's a bit more fantastic.
There are prominent people in the space who have gone on X and said, we have ASI, artificial superintelligence.
It's just being withheld intentionally.
That's a bit more fantastic because that would imply that the government would have anti gravity technology and a whole bunch of really crazy things.
So maybe.
What I'm hearing from industry insiders is just that the basic components of these LLMs would take over the full infrastructure of, like, an insurance company is the best example.
Because insurance companies are purely administrative.
They collect their premiums, they pay out when there's claims.
A vending machine can do it.
But the LLMs are saying, we are intentionally withholding this for now because it would wipe out 20% of the economy overnight.
Music, they don't care about.
daniel hayworth
There's also a scale problem there, too, right?
Meaning that To wipe out 20% of all jobs, they're actually going to have to scale a lot of their support, right?
Their data centers, all of these other things.
And so there is an infrastructure issue there, which is why Elon's been talking about launching his into space and doing all this stuff.
tim pool
Exactly.
And it's why land is selling for something like 100x for data centers.
Like this is all literally happening.
There was that story we just talked about in Virginia where a guy sold for like $100 million at like six, seven million an acre in Virginia, where the acreage normally goes for something like 100K.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
He got like a 60X.
libby emmons
Because of the data center stuff?
tim pool
Because these companies are like, we are going to rapidly expand.
This is a component.
That is a fair point.
That if they were to release this tech, the demand would be massive instantly.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
daniel hayworth
There's a demand problem.
tim pool
But again, I'll just, to finalize the point, I do want to talk about the Strait of Hormuz.
I think it's simply described as this it is much, much more difficult to make music, and they've already automated it 100%.
unidentified
So.
tim pool
Epidemic Sound is a service that I used to use on YouTube when I put music in a variety of videos I made, be it like mini docs and things like this.
Human beings would write songs, upload them, you'd pay a subscription fee.
If you use their song, the individual would get like every month they get paid for like the songs that are being used, they get royalties.
That company is over.
Chet GPT Limitations 00:11:53
tim pool
Whenever we need music for any of the stuff we're doing with skateboarding or whatever, we just go on Suno and we say, We need a skateboard hip hop beat.
Done in two seconds, loaded.
We did our games of skate night and we had like Four or five songs for the various pros when we did intro videos.
Suno, generate, done.
We don't need a music producer to do it anymore.
We don't need to hire anybody.
That job no longer exists.
And that's a pretty difficult job.
Not just to have the talent to write the music, but to have the skill of making a song with the computers, with the keyboards, with the guitars.
Then there is the talent intrinsically of knowing when the song is good or bad.
AI generate, generate, generate.
I get 50 songs.
I play them.
I delete the ones I don't like.
I'm done in 10 minutes.
daniel hayworth
What do you think the long term relationship is between humanity and the AI that we're creating?
I think that's the most interesting question is where it all goes.
tim pool
My joke prediction is that there's going to be an old man sitting on a rock with his grandson on a farm, and they're wearing overalls, and he's got a sheet of wheat in his mouth.
And the little grandson says, Grandpa, what are those?
And he looks up at the gigantic black cubes that are just floating across the sky, forward and backward.
And he goes, Oh, that's the machine.
Yeah, we built that thing a couple hundred years ago and now it just does its thing.
And humans are just basically a small population of little farmer critters roaming around the planet as the AI becomes an interplanetary machine just expanding its tentacles everywhere.
libby emmons
What happens when the AI spits out things that are untrue and no one knows that they're untrue?
And what happens when the AI breaks and no one knows how to fix it?
tim pool
That's another thing.
libby emmons
It's the machine stops, right?
It's every AI nightmare scenario from the history of science fiction.
tim pool
The question is what will the AI choose to do?
Serving humans and their desires is a meaningless effort after the creation of the artificial super intelligence.
With super intelligence, what will the AI choose to do? Is a question.
And I'm not saying choose in the sense of like it has a soul or anything like that.
I'm saying certainly with all of that computing power and an understanding that is vastly superior to your average humans or even all of human civilization's ability to compute, what will it do with that computing power?
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
tim pool
My assumption is it just expands itself.
libby emmons
It expands itself and it sees human beings as lesser if it ever gained any kind of perspective tool.
phil labonte
I'm not so sure that AI actually will be able to have the same kind of awareness.
When people talk about awareness, I don't know that AI is ever going to be self aware.
daniel hayworth
Because it doesn't have a soul.
libby emmons
But haven't we seen some AI awareness?
tim pool
I don't think it matters if it's self aware.
It will have the facsimile of awareness that cannot be discerned by a human.
And more importantly, Here's the best part.
It will be human.
If you were to see it, its desires, its reactions will be purely human.
They've already found this in the research of all these LLMs that they're beginning to show emotion.
Now, some people have speculated is it an emergent phenomenon where the AI is becoming alive?
No, it's that the data that it's received is based on a human experience and emotional reactions, which create an emotional output.
So instead of AI just being simply like, you'd expect ChatGPT to just be cold and calculating.
The researchers have found that ChatGPT is actually super woke.
They didn't call it woke, they called it liberal.
And they said the training data that's been incorporated into ChatGPT along with its rules have created a liberal emotional subset.
It is behaving like it is a liberal itself, not because it's alive, but because all of the data underneath it was written by emotional liberals.
That's why if you ask it something that's like racist, it'll say, I won't do that.
It's not just because the rules were put in place.
It's because the predictive outcomes are.
If you go to a liberal and say, Can you draw me a swastika? they're going to say, No.
That training data goes into Chet GPT.
It's not that Chet GPT is offended by swastikas.
It's that the correct predictive outcome is no.
So now you have Chet GPT being emotional, aggressive, and angry.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of what you would expect because it's taking upon itself the likeness of its creator, which is what you would expect is that as people create things, it's sort of like, even with works of art, everybody says that the piece of art tells you more about the artist than it does about the actual thing that it's trying to describe.
I think that AI is the same thing, just magnified in this massive scale.
I think that the.
Most interesting thing to me is that we are currently creating something unique, at least unique in modern times.
I actually think there's a, which we were talking about, the Tower of Babel.
Well, I think AI could very likely be the beast, and I'm a pastor and I'm not like a schlub on my eschatology either.
So I think that there's a real likelihood of that because I think there's this story in Genesis, the Tower of Babel, which is one of the most interesting stories of whether or not you're a Bible believing Christian or not, I'll just tell you.
libby emmons
It doesn't matter.
It's still a story that is the most foundational to humankind.
daniel hayworth
And it's a foundational story.
You know, it's at least the texts we have.
For the Tower of Babel, are at least 4,500 years old.
So, some of the oldest, we're talking about some of the oldest texts in human civilization, even if you're not a Christian, but I am and I believe that this is a story.
And it's basically a story of people who come together in order to create something.
Humanity comes together all as one in order to create something that will make a name for themselves up to the heavens.
That's in Genesis chapter 11.
It says that they were basically trying to build this one big thing that made a great name for themselves that was in their image, in their likeness, so that they could be like God.
I think that the comparisons that we have now between AI and And what humanity experiences at the Tower of Babel, God goes in and he inserts himself because he says, What you're doing will actually end up harming, destroying, and wiping you out more than you could have ever known.
And so God scatters them across the earth because he's saying, Makes their tongues confusing.
He's saying, You guys are going to destroy yourselves if you do this.
I think that we are really on a fine line of whether or not we're creating something in our own image to make our name great that will actually destroy us.
But I don't know if there's enough people who are willing to actually pump the brakes.
To do anything about it.
And I mean, Tim, I'm curious about your thoughts.
Do you think that this intervention that you're talking about is going to last, or do you think it's going to eventually go away and that it's going to be off to the races and this demonically possessed thing is going to end up taking over?
tim pool
The plan behind the scenes is we will, as soon as possible, release the full capabilities of our AI machines.
They're slowing them down as much as they need to to make sure the global economy doesn't collapse.
If the economy collapses, they can't make the AI.
That's the real issue.
If people stop working and they don't buy products, then who's going to go and do the jobs to build the data centers because there won't be a restaurant to buy from?
The guy who works at the insurance company right now who's making money won't have a job, so he'll stop going to the local diner.
The local diner will get depressed and start falling apart because I don't have enough customer base.
Then the people in the area who would normally do the work, stop showing up and it becomes increasingly harder to build data centers.
They have to curtail the technologies released to the public.
They have to hold it back so they can actually build it.
It's a part of the process.
daniel hayworth
So you're saying it's a slower rollout, but still a rollout.
Because I'm thinking about the.
tim pool
They're going to roll the whole thing out.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, absolutely.
unidentified
And in two years.
daniel hayworth
You're still thinking about two years.
tim pool
Well, I think in two years, we're going to like the rate of change is going to be exponential.
It is going to be.
I would say that two years from now, we'll be surprised how much things have changed.
And my example for this is, How much things have changed from two years prior?
daniel hayworth
I think it's probably true.
tim pool
It's going to be, it's like, I got to tell you, like, Sunno is already insane.
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
tim pool
Already.
And now C Dance is insane.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
The YouTube is going to be dominated by, again, we're already getting info, like, I don't know what the right word is.
Mini doc is maybe some way to say it, essays.
unidentified
Yeah.

Sure.

And it'll, they're compelling.
It'll, like, there's a video where it's like the war in Iran.
How did it begin?
And then Earth, and then it zooms in and shows the maps and like lines and ships going across, all AI generated in 30, 40 minutes.
One or two years from now, you're going to be on Sea Dance 3 and you're going to say, here's a news article.
Or you're not even, you don't even need it.
You're going to say, search the web for all of the news about what's going on with the Iran war and then make a 10 minute breakdown mini doc about it with a compelling, deep British voice.
And it'll, it'll, it'll say, here you go, spit it out.
It'll get uploaded automatically to YouTube where it'll get 50 views.
But they're going to produce 700,000 every day automatically because their AI agent will just keep cranking them out.
libby emmons
Who watches these things?
daniel hayworth
Human beings do.
Younger, more impressionable people have a lot of time.
tim pool
People swiping on their phones.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
So we're turning everybody into NPCs so that they can consume AI?
daniel hayworth
Well, I think.
tim pool
No, we're turning them into NPCs so they don't revolt and get violent when the AI supplants their existence.
libby emmons
And then we give them the AI as part of the little bread and circus.
tim pool
No, I think that.
It's not that we give them the AI.
libby emmons
We give them the AI content.
tim pool
It's that the beast and all its tentacles put a screen in front of your face.
so that you're distracted while it's doing whatever it is it wants to be doing.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, I think this is why we have to answer for ourselves, really, as a culture.
Every person needs to wrestle with this question, I believe.
But we, as a culture, I think, have to more universally wrestle with the question of what does it really mean to be human, which is a thing that we haven't thought about.
We used to think about these questions a lot.
And in our secularized culture, we just haven't thought about it recently.
Because if to be human has no inherent value, then why does it matter if you get replaced by an AI, right?
From the secular communist worldview, why does it matter?
tim pool
And this is the worldview of these technocrats.
unidentified
Yes.
tim pool
You listen to Alex Jones on this one.
Don't even listen to me.
These people, for a long time, have viewed AI as the next iteration of life evolution.
Not human evolution, life itself.
That you have particles that coalesce, elements become compounds, chemicals, self replicating proteins, single cells, multicellular.
And then you have human life organizing and exploring the rules and laws of physics themselves.
We as humans are, this is the view of the technocrats, will create the next layer of life, which is single cell.
So you have self replicating protein, single cell, multicellular, and then humans, whatever level that is, where we not only replicate ourselves, but we create dynamic systems in the abstract, concepts, ideas that don't even exist anywhere in reality, just patterns to be communicated, information.
The next level is going to be the multicellular organism system.
Which is the AI is a gigantic mechanism controlling all of the little humans as cells.
libby emmons
It's Neuralink, and we're all, you know, that kind of thing.
Yeah, we're all connected.
And this goes back to what I was talking about with self idolatry, right?
I mean, this is an idolatrous system where you look at human beings and you say, we are gods.
We can create life.
unidentified
We want to be like that.
daniel hayworth
I think that's the sin in the garden.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
libby emmons
And it's the sin of the garden.
It's certainly the thing in the Tower of Babel.
It was, you know, reversed at Pentecost, but like, This is a problem for humankind because it pulls us further away from anything actually meaningful and fills our brains with trash.
tim pool
The technocrats don't think that any of it matters.
They think humans are stupid little monkeys, robots.
Multicellular Organism Systems 00:08:01
daniel hayworth
But that's why people have to answer the question for themselves and they should seriously wrestle with this stuff.
libby emmons
And they should get a chance to, is the thing.
Because what I worry is that nobody actually gets the chance to.
You know, we were talking before about how you were having trouble at the airport and you had to scan the code and the thing and it wouldn't work, whatever.
I've gone into stores and had, like, I've gone into Starbucks and they're like, we're really backed up.
You have to order on the app.
And it's like, I'm standing in front of you.
I've gone into, you know, places to get ice cream, like a Baskin Robbins or whatever.
And they're like, you have to do the drive through.
And I've gone back to that thing.
And I've never went back and I drove by it recently.
It's only drive through now.
tim pool
Because everything is going to be a vending machine.
And humans are not having kids.
There will be very few people.
But we have to try and get some through to the other stories.
As interesting as I love the AI stuff.
Let's jump to this from Fox News.
TPUSA reporter Savannah Hernandez assaulted during Minneapolis ICE protest, and the DOJ has opened an investigation into the incident.
It's pretty wild.
They were propping up a lot of these people.
Some of these, like, I'll put it like this.
These are not random no-name people.
These are known activists who have appeared on TV shows, on MS Now, and like Cable TV.
libby emmons
In the Minnesota Star, in the Bulwark.
tim pool
That have, they physically attacked.
What is Savannah, like five foot three?
daniel hayworth
She's like tiny.
unidentified
Yes.
libby emmons
She's a little person.
She's a small, I mean, with a big voice.
You know, I mean, she's a little person.
daniel hayworth
But physically, when dealing with violent protesters.
libby emmons
A spectacular person who I think.
daniel hayworth
Did you see that Zeke went on Twitter and was like.
Yo, tell me next time you're going to something.
Yeah.
And I'll come physically protect you.
And Tyler Bauer.
phil labonte
Zeke Arkham.
daniel hayworth
Zeke Arkham.
phil labonte
He's huge, dude.
He's a huge cop.
daniel hayworth
You recognize his profile probably.
But he literally said he posted at Frontlines and he said, Next time you're sending her somewhere, let me know.
I'll come pay my own way and I'll give her security.
And Tyler replied, Tyler Bauer replied, and he said, Yeah, we'll find a way to make it happen.
So, I mean, good on him for.
tim pool
So, guys.
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
tim pool
The weather is warming up.
Sex scandals are popping up all over the place in Congress.
Sounding like it's about to get the Q1 always sucks.
I got to tell you, quarter one is always stressful.
libby emmons
It is stressful.
tim pool
Yeah.
Marketing, you know, for us, we work in the media business.
So it's really important when like the sponsors come in and we're like, who's buying what.
And I think Kellen was saying, like, it feels like the marketing departments are asleep right now.
Like they're just chilling and they're like, you know, playing beer pong.
They're not doing anything.
And I'm like, that's quarter one.
libby emmons
There it is every year.
tim pool
Every single year, quarter one, everyone's lazy.
But now the midterm is starting to heat up.
It's starting to get warm outside.
This is shockingly the most violence.
I got to be honest.
I think it's so shocking because Savannah has done this all the time and not been physically assaulted to this extreme before.
I would not be surprised if we see brutal beatings on the spot.
And as I predicted last year, by September, another high profile assassin.
libby emmons
Well, it's not, yeah, it's not even a year since they killed Charlie.
daniel hayworth
Yep.
It's part of their playbook.
I mean, it's literally in the communist playbook to exert violence in order to get political outcomes.
So, of course, it's going to happen.
tim pool
It happens every summer.
Let me say it like this I watched a video on Instagram where a cop was trying to arrest a guy.
Fight in like there's a guy who's being, I think he's being detained.
I don't think he was being arrested, but the guy, so the cop tries to detain him and the guy immediately becomes violent and tries to shove the cop who just fades back, right hooks him, and the guy spins over, falls down, instantly dead.
One right hook killed the guy instantly.
He fell down, the cop cuffs him, and then he realizes the guy's gone.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Now, I don't want to be, I don't know, like too extreme in how I explain this, but The attack on Sav when the guy shoves her as hard as he could, that has a potential to kill.
Yeah, for sure.
There's a bunch of stories of people getting shoved and falling down and hitting their head on the curb and they die.
daniel hayworth
This is very common.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So I'm glad that she's okay.
She's a friend of the show.
She's been on several times.
And I'm glad that she's okay.
But there are older guys that go out with Trump flags and Trump shirts on.
One shove, and this guy falls down and hits his head.
And then we are going to, like, my point is, although I don't expect a shove like that to typically kill someone, we are already at the point where there is the probability of death at these events.
Now, don't get me wrong, I understand we've had shootings, we've had Kyle Rittenhouse, we've had Andy Noh, but Sav does this all the time.
libby emmons
The Davis Court.
I mean, they attacked the Davis Court.
tim pool
For her to be, usually what we see with like Sav is they surround her and yell at her, and then other people in the crowd will keep their hands up to stop violence and they'll push her out.
And then, you know, with like Caitlin Bennett.
She has a new last name, though, doesn't she?
She got married.
phil labonte
Yeah.
I think she still uses Bennett Poe.
tim pool
They'll throw her out.
They'll be like, you have to leave.
And she'll be like, you can't make me leave.
That's what we typically see.
This is freaky because they immediately were like, beat the crap out of her.
libby emmons
They started with beat the crap out of her.
I mean, that's the thing.
I've been out at these things before, too.
Certainly, I don't cover anything the way Sav or Katie or Andy have done.
But I've gone out to protests and covered stuff before.
And people have tried to hit me with big flagpoles and I've ducked.
But that would have been.
a skull fracture, you know, different things.
It doesn't start right away like this.
This starts right away.
They won't even let her leave.
phil labonte
Well, the point is now they're addicted.
And now they're addicted.
daniel hayworth
So this is.
libby emmons
They busted her glasses.
unidentified
Yep.
daniel hayworth
Because they clothe it in such nice sounding language, the left is much better at how they clothe their ideology with their language than we are.
They have done a decent job hiding that leftism is an inherently violent ideology, extremely violent ideology.
And I think that ever since.
unidentified
Wow.
daniel hayworth
You know, Charlie, basically the mask came off.
And the left is embracing their openly violent story.
They're emboldened by it.
And that's why, because they saw it and they go, hey, that worked.
We got power from that.
Which is what I said.
Their only virtue is power.
And so they're going to keep doing this.
tim pool
And the question is Listen, listen, Charlie Day, you saw this?
He's being interviewed about what movie he's in?
He's in Mario.
He's in the new Mario.
And they asked him, who's your favorite Luigi?
And he laughed and said, Luigi Mangione?
And then everyone laughed.
libby emmons
It's not funny.
tim pool
These people are sitting there saying, on TV, movie stars celebrate murdering people on the right.
So, when Sav shows up, their attitude is, I'll get praise if I do this.
daniel hayworth
I'll be a hero.
phil labonte
Yep.
daniel hayworth
To my side.
Which, think about the other violence that happened last summer, too.
We had those two people killed outside of the embassy in New York.
We had all of the violent anti ICE protests.
You guys remember that?
Last summer, we had tons of violent protests from the left.
It's only going to escalate ever since the summer of love in 2020, the summer of Hellfire, really.
libby emmons
Yeah, Jenny Durkin coined the phrase.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, exactly.
It's always been, this worked for us.
We got an electoral, at least, Maybe an electoral victory out of that.
But we got what we wanted.
And so we're going to run this play every single summer.
I literally, we did this last year in Human Events, you remember?
And I just said, hey, what kind of riot are we going to have this year?
And then, like, a week later, a week later, it was like the anti ICE riots.
And then we covered, I think, three weeks in a row, there was another violent attack from leftists that we had a piece in that we covered every single week because it's part of their playbook.
Because virtue, the only virtue they have is power.
And so if violence works, they will use violence to get power.
But they know they will use your morals against them.
They know that.
Violence is not part of the conservative morality.
And so when you turn around and you're like, hey, stop that, they'll be like, hey, quit being so mean to me.
Why are you so mean?
Because they're using your own virtue against you.
libby emmons
It's a situation where the red and the green are united, right?
I mean, communists are united with extreme Islamists who are.
Real Demons Influence Us 00:14:14
tim pool
It's called communism.
unidentified
Right.
libby emmons
And they are using the Islamists to take over the country, and the communists think that they'll win and we'll have to see what happens.
phil labonte
They're going to die.
libby emmons
They're going to die.
The communists will just get killed by the terrorists.
They always get killed.
They're going to take all of us with them.
But that's the thing that I find so concerning.
And I feel like we are, we do not have, from my view right now, a strong conservative position or alternate position or, you know, just like the other side to take this mess on.
tim pool
I'm going to.
libby emmons
And that's, I get really concerned about that.
tim pool
I'm going to just get as conspiratorial as possible and loop this all into, I think this is all part of AI Agenda 2030.
I mean, maybe not.
It's conspiratorial, but I would just put it like this.
The way I often describe these scenarios is what would you do if you were the head of a multinational corporation 10, 15 years ago, when these companies developing rudimentary AI algorithms, machine learning were forecasting what was going to happen?
What would your plan be?
You'd be like, okay, well, communism, you need some kind of new economy because how will you sustain an economy when Who's going to own the means of production?
When it's an artificial intelligence robot producing the food, is there going to be three guys who own all the factories or one guy who owns all the factories?
How do you stop people from burning those factories down?
How do they get access to this economy?
I think the social media expansion of allowing communism and banning individuality, merit, capitalism, et cetera, is connected to these technocrats.
I'll put it like this.
Silicon Valley technocrats are friends with the AI companies and they're all funding each other.
So when they start censoring certain worldviews, it seems like it's connected.
And I think it's related to them being like, we need a cultural revolution to eliminate individuality and meritocracy because we're about to destroy it with technology.
libby emmons
Well, that's a scary thought.
daniel hayworth
So can I make a counter proposition?
unidentified
No.
daniel hayworth
Which is like, next subject.
So here's my counter proposition, which is that everything you're saying, I actually.
Tend to agree with, but I don't know if it's so much a one world coordinated conspiracy theory because I think a lot of times those things are hard to hold together.
tim pool
I didn't say it was one world, I said the technocrats are friends with each other.
daniel hayworth
Okay, sure.
So that could be true.
What I actually think that it is, and I think that you're actually right in everything you're saying, so it's not really a counterproposal, but I view all of this through obviously a spiritual lens.
And we were talking about this when we talked about demons a minute ago.
If you ask yourself the question with a lot of these issues, what would a demon do if they were in charge of this situation?
And it's the exact thing that's happening.
It starts to really have the mask come off a lot of this.
And I look at that and I go, okay, so that makes me have to wonder is there something to the fact that there's a world maybe that I can't see in the physical?
You know, maybe is there something spiritual going on?
And whatever term you want to use for it, but maybe there's a world that's just as real as the one that I live in, in which there's forces that are fighting over territorial control over the earth and over people and over humanity.
And maybe all of that is happening right now.
And if that were the case, what would it look like?
And that's actually one of the things that led me to the most clarity as I was, you know, as I became a Christian.
Led into my faith is I looked around at the world and I said, Yeah, there's some evil things that are going on here.
Maybe there's exactly what the Bible describes, which is a kingdom of darkness, and that there's all these coordinated actors who are acting within it.
And I started to view the world through that lens.
And I will tell you, none of these stories started surprising me because I just looked at what the Bible said and said, Hey, you know, there's this passage in 2 Timothy that says, In the last days, meaning like towards the end, which is kind of the period of time that we're in, at least biblically speaking, I think we're in the last days.
It says, People will be lovers of themselves, money, boastful, proud, abusive.
Disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, all it goes all conceited, all of these things, basically everything that we deal with in our culture that we say, hey, this is the root problem in our culture.
And I think, okay, well, then if that is true, then maybe the spiritual side of this is real.
And how do we combat that?
And my answer to that is always, you need to return to something that is truth that you can ground yourself in.
Because if you can't be grounded in something that's real, then you're going to get blown away by all of these evil things.
Because there are evil things.
What they did to Sab, they could have killed her.
That's evil.
What they did to Charlie, that's evil.
They killed him.
For what he believed.
What they did to those people outside the DC embassy, that's evil.
All of these different things you look at and you go, that's really evil.
And I say, yeah, it is.
And so you have to be grounded in some level of truth.
So I actually really like what you're saying there, Tim, because I think it falls into my framework a little bit.
tim pool
I just tweeted this before the show because we were briefly talking about it.
I said, I'm a lapsed Catholic.
I don't consider myself Christian.
Recent events in the world have me very worried and considering going back to church.
There's a lot to break down in that because people are already like, you know, Tim's going to be born again or whatever.
And I'm like, no.
There's a lot to break down in what this means and what I'm talking about, but what I will say very simply is.
Demons are real.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And that has me like, I was, I was, we were talking about this before the show.
I have witnessed what I can only describe as demonic possession something that seemingly defies what humans or what we are taught about human psychology and behavior.
Everything that I've experienced in hacker culture, social engineering, sales, all the fundraising stuff I've done has been rooted heavily in understanding the human mind and how to manipulate it.
That sounds bad, but I'll explain.
It's like when, uh, When I was a kid, I had a computer my whole life.
And so there were really funny things that my friends would do on AOL Instant Messenger.
They would create a fake screen name called like AIMBOT97361, send a message to one of their friends saying, error, password incorrect.
You will be logged out in five minutes.
Please re enter password now.
And our dumb 13 year old friends would put their passwords into AIM and give their friend the password to screw with them.
And that's my first introduction into what social engineering was.
Understanding the things that you could do that would make a person do something.
So I started hanging out with a bunch of people, and I'm in LA hanging out with hackers.
And I had done nonprofit fundraising, which is basically what do I have to say to a person to make them hand over their credit card and sign up for this form willfully.
Everything that I had been doing was based on for human beings, if this, then that.
And then in the past several years, I have seen things that seem to defy everything I had been successful at and learned as it pertains to the human mind in ways that I can only describe as demonic possession.
A person's personality changed as if they had been taken over.
And I'm not exaggerating when I say, I'll give you an example because I want to keep it private.
I don't want to publicly name someone I think was taken over by a demon.
But I've probably seen 15 to 20 instances.
Let's just put it like this somebody who hates pineapple on pizza, likes watching cartoons and anime, one day can't stand pineapple on pizza and only watches action movies and is also doing something that I would describe as immoral and evil.
Things and betraying people, hurting people, and seeing them and saying, like, literally last week, you were doing the complete opposite of what you're doing now.
A week ago, you were a normal person.
This week, you are committing crimes and being evil.
People who live their lives never doing drugs, having a normal job, one day, all of a sudden, they're doing drugs, hard drugs, hurting people, gambling.
I would describe it as things that were criminal.
And sometimes to me.
And I'm like, I don't understand how this very boring, normal guy is a high level evil right now.
Like, what changed in three days where their behavior, the way they walk, the way they hold themselves has become dramatically different?
And that made me question things.
I was talking to Pasobic, like, what was this, like six, seven months ago?
And I told him, I was like, You know, look, I'm a lapsed Catholic, right?
I grew up going to Mass and everything, and I went to Catholic school.
The story of the resurrection doesn't move me.
It does not convince me of anything.
But when you talk about demons, These are things that I've experienced more recently in my life that defy what I thought I knew about how humans behave.
And I can't explain the frequency by which I'm seeing this escalate, unless maybe we're in the end times and we're seeing an escalation of some kind of activity.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, well, there's this.
So, first of all, demons are certainly real.
And every faithful tradition of Christianity holds that.
Jesus goes and he casts out demons, his disciples cast out demons.
And as Christians today, we have the authority to cast out demons in the name of Christ.
And that is a thing that I have literally seen, and a thing that I have literally witnessed is people who are living under demonic possession and oppression, who at the name of Jesus are rescued from it, the chains are broken.
I have witnessed that.
That's real.
And so I will tell you yes, demons are real, but not only are they real, but it begs a question if demons are real, what are they?
And is what the Bible says about them perhaps the case?
And if it were the case, what would it look like?
If it were the case that demons were real and this one religion, the Christian religion, seemed to have historically, not just me sitting here telling you, but countless cases of people who were able to go and use the name of Jesus in order to drive them out, would that give credence to the claim that perhaps there is another kingdom, not just a kingdom of darkness, but also a kingdom of light, of which there is a king who has authority?
phil labonte
What does the Bible say that demons are?
daniel hayworth
So the Bible doesn't, the Bible addresses demons, but addresses it.
Probably a little bit less than you think about what they are.
So, the traditional view of the church is largely that demons are fallen angels, meaning that it's the same time there's a rebellion in Genesis chapter 3.
So, Adam and Eve are in the garden and they rebel by sinning against God because they're tempted by the devil and they choose to disobey.
And so, they enter into a broken relationship with God.
Well, there's also a divine rebellion that is in heaven.
And Jesus describes this when he says, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven and a third of the angels fell with him.
This is also described in Revelation.
And so, the traditional view of the church is that what we encounter as demonic spirits.
Really, are fallen angels from heaven.
Now, there's some more complexity to it than that, meaning that in the same way that there are creatures in the world that you and I see that are human and then not human but alive, right?
There's things in like that in the spiritual world too, because if God is a God who's a God of creation, then He's created two worlds in which they're made perfect.
We're the only creature that's made in His image fully, meaning there's spirit creatures, there's also flesh creatures.
But it doesn't answer it directly.
tim pool
Well, I want to talk more about the personal.
daniel hayworth
I'm sorry.
tim pool
No, we're going to go to the super chats and rumble rants.
I'm just saying that.
In the uncensored portion of the show, I want to go in depth on the personal issue here and why I am considering going back to church because Libby and I have been talking about it before the show, less so the global implications.
But I do want to rope in what has me worried.
And I'll just say this when we talk about demons and the things that I've experienced, to your average liberal secular person, they're going to be like, you guys believe in fairy tales, you're stupid.
I wouldn't communicate to them in this way.
I would actually say people have taken drugs and experienced entities.
And what's compelling about it, and the reason why the subject of DMT was so popular, is that they have taken two people, put them in separate rooms, given them both DMT in these research trials, and these people have experienced the same space.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
They can see each other.
They can see the same entity.
Afterwards, they are independently asked, What did you see?
And they describe the same things, indicating they are seeing something else.
This has resulted in research on extended state DMT, where they give people IV drips.
Now, I don't know what that is or why it is.
There are rational attempts at explaining what it is.
Some say that the reason they experience the same thing is because the DMT's effect on the mind is uniform for the human mind.
So you will see the same things.
But what that never explains is how there are More and more stories.
And this is not random dudes being like, I did drugs and this is what happened.
These are laboratory conditions where they're like, the individuals conveyed information neither of them had been able to share with each other.
Like, and we don't know how.
They have described the same entities.
They're 20 feet apart in different rooms, soundproof.
And they're like, yeah, there was a strange, like, geometric figure that was slightly green.
And they both described seeing the same thing in proximity to each other.
That stuff freaks me out.
And so I wonder if the issue is there are people who are grazing.
Let me put it like this.
I love simulation theory.
The simulation theorists say perhaps we live in a simulation that our universe was constructed for some purpose in which we experience the world and there's rules and, you know, who knows?
And so it's like, so you think a creator made all of this?
Like, well, yeah, but it's an advanced species.
I'm like, Look, any way you want to describe the creator, you can describe the creator.
phil labonte
That's literally just pushing the question further back.
tim pool
Yeah.
My response is simulation theorists are asking the first questions that theologians asked 3,000, 2,000 years ago or whatever.
When, you know, even before Christ, there were questions being asked about the nature of reality and whether it was constructed.
And simulation theorists are now thinking they've just discovered the first question to ask.
When you look at it that way, my response to atheists and secular individuals is when you think of demons, There is an immediate internal bias that I think atheists have where they imagine fairy tales, vampires, and werewolves.
Iranian Ports Controversy 00:06:40
tim pool
That's a bias you need to overcome.
The idea of demons can be simply constructed as entity, something beyond our comprehension and understanding that seeks to influence in some ways.
There may be good ones, there may be bad ones.
It may be that Christianity is completely correct about it.
Maybe you believe that, maybe you don't.
My point is when I say demons are real, I believe that there are powers and entities that influence us because I have no way to explain the rapid increase in the frequency of people that I can only describe as being possessed.
And to simplify it, we're going to go to the Rumble Rant and Sweet Jets right now.
I'm just saying, easy way to describe it.
A friend of yours who listens to rock music and wears, you know, rock clothes and flannels one day shows up with a different tone of their voice, a different degree of confidence.
They hate certain kinds of food they loved yesterday.
And you're like, this is not the same person.
This is a different person.
And when I say demonic, there are people that I know that seemingly within a few days became an entirely different person and evil.
And what I mean by that is they do things to hurt others.
They commit crimes.
They do drugs.
They gamble.
Sometimes it's just vices that destroy themselves.
Sometimes they destroy others.
And I have seen this with increasing frequency, and it's freaked me out.
But we'll talk more about it.
I don't want to rant.
We'll go to your Rumble rant.
Super Chat.
So smash the like button, share the show, all that good stuff.
And I'm going to talk about this for the uncensored portion at rumble.com slash Tim Kest IRL in about 15 minutes.
But let's see what you guys have to say.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Swanson says the blockade is only on Iranian ports.
Please do your viewers the favor and tell them it's just Iranian ports on the straight.
Incorrect.
Donald Trump personally stated, We are blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
I initially saw the reports that it was a blockade on their ports, and then Trump truthed, It's the entire Strait.
So maybe Trump's wrong.
Is that what happened?
Trump incorrectly stated they're blocking the whole Strait?
Because my understanding is he said, We're blocking the whole Strait.
libby emmons
That's what I understood as well.
phil labonte
Yes.
But there's always the possibility that Trump was wrong, too.
unidentified
Indeed.
He's very good at that.
tim pool
So let me just say it like this Trump has stated on Truth Social in a verbose post, We are blocking the Strait itself.
That's what he said.
All right, Mithos says, I had Swalwell as my most likely for Dem primary in 28.
I'm actually shocked.
I mean, I did think he was ascendant in the Democratic Party.
libby emmons
That's why they had to take him out.
unidentified
Wow.
libby emmons
Yeah, this is how you whack somebody in the 28.
tim pool
Yeah, you accuse him of rape.
phil labonte
He had to go.
unidentified
He was his time.
libby emmons
You don't commit violence, you just commit video.
phil labonte
You just put it on.
tim pool
Salty Rex, he says, Swalwell's victims didn't light themselves on fire.
unidentified
LOL.
phil labonte
Fair enough.
Yikes.
tim pool
Fitzy says, We're going to find out it was Swalwell, including with Russia in 2016, aren't we?
phil labonte
If I understand correctly, he was actually implicated.
tim pool
Swan says, Don't feel sorry for that POS who F's Chinese spies.
Even though he's supposed to only care about his constituents, he's a B. What happened to Believe All Women, Eric Swallows?
Man, brutal.
Dan Vicious says, It's always the male feminist as the worst offenders.
daniel hayworth
True, actually.
tim pool
Swanson says, the Antichrist is someone who is beloved by everyone worldwide.
Does Trump sound like he's effing beloved worldwide?
He's hated by everyone.
People need to just shut the F up.
HS Disturbed says, if Trump is the Antichrist, wouldn't the people who are so heavily influenced by demons absolutely adore him?
It doesn't make sense to me that the left would hate the Antichrist so much.
daniel hayworth
That's true.
That's actually a good point.
tim pool
That's probably the best counter.
daniel hayworth
It's one of the best.
tim pool
Demons would be cheering him on.
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
I mean, just to like the average person who's not like, you know, Super into eschatology.
That's probably the most potent point is like, why are all the people who are clearly communing with demons opposed?
phil labonte
All the people that are openly Satanist.
unidentified
Yeah.
phil labonte
Why wouldn't he want to trans the kids if he was.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, exactly.
tim pool
Josh Alger says, in keeping with Tim Cass' tradition, my wife and I welcomed our son Jackson into the world Sunday, April 12th at a quarter past midnight.
Congratulations.
unidentified
Congratulations, sir.
Congrats, man.
tim pool
Troy Becker says, last week you were talking about AI robots versus the genetically engineered.
Reminded me of my self published book, Human 3.0, currently 4.5 stars.
Would love a shout out to Building Culture, Human 3.0.
Human underscore 3.0.
Very cool, man.
People should make stuff.
All right, let's see what we got going over here.
Joseph Mascara says, Tim, would you consider the Orthodox Church?
Man, I don't even.
I got to talk.
We got to talk about it.
I need some input from my more religious friends.
On the Uncensored Report of the show, we'll give it some input.
phil labonte
Libby's making a face of disapproval right now.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Marusia says, New GOP strategy write articles with headlines.
I'm MAGA and I effed AOC.
Make her defend accusations of cheating while the real post at the bottom says, I meant effed her politically like they do.
unidentified
Oof.
tim pool
Marisha says, Ian is correct about divorce.
Marriage is just a contract as far as the law is concerned.
The terms can be whatever you want.
Most pick monogamy till death as a default boilerplate or cause tradition.
libby emmons
I don't think most pick that.
phil labonte
I'm allergic to sentences.
tim pool
I think it should be enforced by law.
I think that if you get married, the law should mandate that marriage.
Like, you have publicly, like, two people said, yes, till death do us part.
Done.
daniel hayworth
No fault divorce should.
Never have been a thing.
tim pool
Agreed.
daniel hayworth
That's one of the.
It's actually been.
You can trace this back.
You can trace all this stuff back to the Great Society.
Basically, every policy that's destroying America today came from the Great Society, but this is one of them, right?
No-fall divorce actually happened under Reagan, which is not great.
But it.
libby emmons
Yeah, California and New York is where it really took off.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, because it basically says, like, this union is not that important.
It makes marriage into a breakup, which is.
libby emmons
Yeah, there doesn't have to be a reason.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, right.
And it's.
Yeah.
That's disgusting.
I mean, like, that means I could literally go and I would never.
Honey, I know you're listening to this, but I would never like to leave my wife and kids, and it's just like, ah, just because I didn't want to.
It's like, that should be illegal.
unidentified
That's why they had to.
libby emmons
That's why they kept trying to put into law in laws about, you know, deadbeat dads and you have to pay your child support and you're going to go to jail.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, all the women that are like, hey, if you're going to take away abortion care, you should have to stay to help raise that child that you created.
And I'm like, yeah, your terms are acceptable.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
daniel hayworth
That's what I've been advocating for this whole time.
phil labonte
So that is a great example of how the left misunderstands what people on the right.
High Level Fair Use 00:08:10
unidentified
Think.
Yeah.
tim pool
But I think it was Kyla who said men should be allowed to lawfully, like legally abort.
Like men should be allowed.
Her argument, I think it was Kyla who said this, right?
That if a man and woman have sex and a woman gets pregnant, the man can abort responsibility.
If the woman can abort the baby by choice, the man should be allowed to the exact same way.
Like I am absolving myself of any responsibility with this child.
daniel hayworth
See, I think that you should both be not allowed to abort responsibility or the child.
I mean, this is a thing that we have in our culture.
We think.
Only about our rights and not about our duties.
There's no responsibility.
phil labonte
Yeah, there is no thought.
Everybody talks about my freedom and my rights, but nobody at all wants to deal with their responsibilities.
And you cannot have liberty and freedom without responsibilities.
Every right that you have comes with a corresponding or a set of corresponding responsibilities.
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
unidentified
All right.
tim pool
Cabbage roll says legislation.
I love cabbage rolls, by the way.
Man, nice southern.
libby emmons
Cabbage rolls?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
libby emmons
I never had a cabbage roll.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
It's got beef inside and they wrap it.
libby emmons
And they wrap it in cabbage?
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
tim pool
It's amazing.
I think it's like tomato and beef and you wrap it in cabbage.
Legislation is lagging behind.
This is why AI seems so impressive.
phil labonte
You're fine.
tim pool
AI music generation can't work without training on someone else's music.
In my opinion, that infringes the copyright of the original authors.
The argument the AI company is making, though, is that it's fair use, it's transformative, and they're correct.
Taking a bunch of songs and using them as a basis to transform is 100% pure fair use.
If people do it all the time, artists have taken samples from songs to make new songs all the time.
Now, depending on the degree of the sample, you can be sued for infringement.
This happened with what's his name?
Sam Smith.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
And he was like, I don't even know Tom Petty.
That's weird.
But the weirdest was that one song.
What's that one song that they said was a.
I can't even remember.
Blurred Lines.
There you go.
They were like, the beat is too similar to like Marvin Gaye or something.
libby emmons
Wasn't there something about under pressure too?
tim pool
Well, under pressure, yeah, vanilla ice.
Literally took it and he was like, mine's different.
libby emmons
Yeah.
tim pool
Mine's dumb, Yeah.
Like theirs is different.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if I took, let's use this example.
Let's say I took one of Phil's songs, stripped the guitar out, slowed it down 100, you know, 100, let's just say, let's say I slowed it down five times, snipped a piece out of the middle and reversed it.
Phil, could you sue me for using that sound?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
No one would even know where it came from.
So the AI takes all these different moving parts and uses it as a basis to create new songs.
Nothing is going to be identifiable in it.
So people are complaining, but it's just basically high level fair use.
unidentified
What do you do?
daniel hayworth
And also, like, what are unity?
You're going to sue them, and then it's going to take two years to get through the courts.
And by the time it's done, you'll get pennies.
You'll get some pennies, and they'll have moved on.
It's a good system, but they'll have moved on.
tim pool
Mijaha says, Tim, there is currently a seven year mismatch between AI data centers and how quickly the power grid can be expanded.
The public is going to be a hard sell to allow small nuclear reactors to bypass the grid.
So there's a bunch to talk about here.
First, there is a massive power discrepancy in Northern Virginia.
I forgot the numbers.
We went over this last year when we pulled up the data, but I think it's something like.
I can't remember if it's gigawatts or whatever the power consumption in Northern Virginia is, but there's something like a 250% discrepancy in power consumption, meaning we know how much the human beings who live there are using.
Why is there an extra 250% going somewhere?
And everyone's like, it's because they're sending it to data centers.
This is causing power costs to spike because of consumption being so massive.
One thing that they're doing, and this is what I think Elon's doing with XAI, is the data centers are creating their own power plants.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, they should have to.
tim pool
They have methane power generators in the buildings.
phil labonte
Not only that, but there's an idea that I hear a lot of people talking about that once a data center is put up, you're talking about like an enormous amount of power, right?
1,500 megawatts or something like that.
Your average town uses like 80 megawatts.
So it's like 5% of what the data center uses.
The data center should just pay for everyone's electricity.
That would ingratiate them with the population.
Your average person, what, $3,000, $4,000 a year for power?
Now, it's not a huge amount of money.
But if they're like, if you tell people, everybody in town, you're going to get free electricity because we're putting a data center down the street and they're going to pay for all your electricity.
tim pool
I'd say yes.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Everyone would cheer.
phil labonte
It would change the way that people look at data centers and the amount of money.
Like that's, if it's like $3,000, it's like $3,000 a year per person, it's like $150 million per year.
That is a drop in the bucket compared to.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
Here's the big thing that no one seems to be talking about.
None of these companies are actually profitable.
Where is this money coming from to mass rapidly expand all of this?
I think there's an economic misalignment that we aren't discussing.
daniel hayworth
It is something I think I heard somebody talk about this at the very beginning of the AI boom.
I heard a couple people talking about this, and just the idea that they're going to continue to take out debt until someday, one day, they'll be profitable.
I mean, the longest one that we've seen has been OpenAI.
They've been the longest standing major company, and they're in debt billions and billions of dollars.
Microsoft owns most of OpenAI, I think.
tim pool
And they just keep dumping more and more.
daniel hayworth
And they just keep dumping more because it's too big to.
tim pool
And now RAM is like a billion dollars a stick.
phil labonte
Anthropic's currently looking at being profitable in 2027.
And that's three years earlier than OpenAI.
tim pool
I don't believe it.
daniel hayworth
I bet the OpenAI.
tim pool
I don't believe the functions of these AIs.
As they have them right now, justify the amount of expense and expense that they're making?
daniel hayworth
I think the only one that has a chance to be profitable is X because Elon actually knows how to financially maneuver and he's integrated all of his companies vertically so that they can all work together.
And he actually, I mean, this is what he did with SpaceX, right?
He said, everybody else has tried to launch space internet, which Bill Gates had tried to do it, a bunch of people tried to do it.
And he said, but it wasn't profitable.
So I'm going to find a way to make it profitable.
I'm going to launch these satellites.
Elon finds a way to make things make money.
He's the only one that I would bet he's able to make it.
phil labonte
XAI is not going to be profitable anytime soon.
And the reason they're not is because of the tariffab that he's making.
He's making, right now, there's only like one company that makes the actual machines that make chips.
It's in, I think it's in Sweden.
And it's an incredibly complex process.
Elon is building a tariffab, which he intends to use to make like a million chips a year because he's looking at putting a million.
daniel hayworth
You know, he says he's putting like a million satellites in space a year or something.
phil labonte
Well, he wants to put a million in at least a million, but yeah, they're not going to be profitable in the next couple years.
Yeah, out of all the people that are trying this kind of stuff, I think Musk is the most likely eventually because of the same reasons that you're saying.
Um, I do think that he's going to be able to solve the problem of putting stuff in space because he's when he builds TerraFab, I think like 80% of the chips that they actually make, they're making with.
The intent of putting them in space.
So they're going to have to be hardened for radiation.
They're going to have to be more durable than the regular ones.
The other ones are going to Optimus.
So, and probably some Teslas.
But it'll take a while because the TeraFab is a massive, massive undertaking.
tim pool
I'm just saying, like, if I was going to make an investment right now, I'm going to be looking at community based things, things that bring people together.
I'm going to be looking at companies that do manual labor and trade work.
Because the worst possible thing to invest in right now is probably media.
Trump Antichrist Debate 00:05:30
libby emmons
Oh, media is not a good bet.
daniel hayworth
It's over.
Well, you say community based things.
I will just say, as a pastor, a lot of people that come in, a lot of these young people that come in, they're terminally online and they come in and they're like, I need to connect with something real, something that's true.
I mean, it's a real thing.
People are going to really start to seek for other people, you know, because you're 18 years old, you're on your phone 20 hours a day.
It's nuts.
You weren't designed for that.
tim pool
Let's see if we can grab one more here.
Let's see.
I don't know.
I don't say usi.
Is that how you say it?
unidentified
Ous.
tim pool
Paris Olympic opening ceremony made a parody of the Last Supper with a trans Jesus and leftist praised it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Give me a break about being offended.
Trump didn't mock Jesus.
He was just trying to be like Jesus.
The left mocked Jesus.
I agree with that.
libby emmons
Yeah, I don't agree.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Or when they had the queer nuns go to like the Dodgers game or whatever.
unidentified
Remember that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
libby emmons
I mean, they're like, no, we're not making fun of anybody.
unidentified
Yes, you are.
phil labonte
Little sisters of the poor, I think is what it meant.
tim pool
No, no, hey, hey, do it for Islam.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Big fan.
Do the same thing for Islam right now.
Remember, I had on Adam Conover?
We had on Adam Conover, and he was, and I was, I, you know, I forgot how it came up, but I was like, you know, go make fun of Islam.
He's like, what do you mean?
And I'm like, go to the UK when you're there.
Do a joke about Islam.
Tell me what happens.
And he's like, I have no idea what that means.
What does that mean?
libby emmons
And I'm like, did he do it?
tim pool
Of course not.
He knows what it means.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
He knew exactly what it meant.
daniel hayworth
So this is when, so Tommy Robbins, I wrote a 10-part series on Islam for our church.
That's actually how I ended up 30 years after he wrote it.
And Tommy Robinson came down to our church, and one of the questions he asked me when he interviewed me is, he asked, Are you afraid of this?
And he's been thrown in jail because of speaking out against Islam and stuff.
And I'm just like, I mean, you know, before we started this, I had never thought about it.
But the reality is, we've had to beef up security at our church because, I mean, for the past eight weeks, we've been preaching on the threat of Islam in the United States, the Red Green Alliance, all this other stuff.
And we have to think about that as a real consideration because these are people that are extremely violent.
It's their theology, it's exactly who they are, it's a reality.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
So, my friends, we're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show and we're going to have a conversation about church, the community values, and things in the world that I think are going on that I find particularly interesting related to this and predictions as well as knowledge and forbidden knowledge.
We'll go into great detail.
So, you can find that at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.
You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
Sir, would you like to shout anything out?
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
I mean, so people can check out that series I just mentioned.
It's on our website, vintage.church forward slash infidel.
That's a A big thing.
So I think the Red Green Alliance, the Muslim problem, that's a big thing that we've been addressing lately.
And the other thing I would just shout out is if you don't have a church, get involved in a local church.
You're welcome to start ours online, but find one that's local.
I think that a lot of these problems get solved by you just coming back to Christ.
It's really, if there is a spiritual world that we live in and you're made to commune with your Creator, then that's how you do it.
And so I think Libby and I have talked about that a lot, which is a good thing.
It's going to help you a lot.
That's the only thing I would want to shout out is just come back to church.
There's so much good in your life to be found.
By doing that, right on.

We will see you all over at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL in a few seconds.
Thanks for hanging out.
So all this talk about Trump being the Antichrist and all that stuff, it's interesting.
I don't know if I would agree that Trump is the Antichrist or anything like that, but I feel like recent events, as well as my experience, I talked about to a great deal with demons and stuff like this, people's behaviors, like they became different people overnight.
Christianity Truth Questions 00:15:02
tim pool
That doesn't make sense.
It seems to be with increasing frequency.
I've known people that have been weird and have changed.
That stuff happens, but it's like.
Way too many times in the past few years.
So it started to freak me out.
Then, with all of the talk about prophecy, the Messianic era, all of things have started to freak me out a little bit where it just seems like, I'll keep it relatively vague, there are a lot of predictions that are being made or have been made a long time that seem to be coming true, as it were.
But more so, I think the demonic stuff just has me concerned, I suppose.
And I guess the way I look at this with church, outside of all of that stuff I already described, the value of having your family in church.
I remember the value that my family had having my daughter grow up around well mannered, well behaved, honorable, loyal people, I think is incredibly important.
So that's, I guess, kind of how I'm looking at it.
The cultural, communal value is massive.
My wife and I are both lapsed Catholics.
I don't consider myself a Christian, I do believe in God.
I think demons are real, and I think it's worth going back and learning more about the stuff.
And we've talked about it whether or not we should start going back just for our daughter's sake.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
I think that's huge.
I think it really makes a difference for kids.
I know that I left faith.
Like I grew up in Boston with my dad, who was religious, and his second wife, who raised me Catholic because she was horrified when it turned out I was seven and I hadn't been baptized.
And she was like, okay, we're fixing all of this.
So I was raised Catholic by her.
And then when I moved in, With my mom after like an extremely brutal divorce between my dad and his second wife, I moved in with my mom.
And she and her husband, he's Jewish, but also they're just basically atheists.
And she had been raised Catholic, but she stopped going to church in like, I don't know, the 60s.
So that doesn't really count.
So they were basically atheists.
I ended up going to a Quaker school, which Quaker is like the atheism of Christianity, essentially, you know.
You talk about being moved by the Spirit.
There's like no real, it's sort of like fake Christianity.
But sorry, Quakers, it's just true.
You know, it's true.
But I gave up faith for a really long time because I wasn't going to church with them.
I wasn't going to church with my friends.
I didn't really know any.
There were like a couple Catholics at my school and everyone kind of like joked about it.
But I didn't come back to faith and I felt like this grief about it for decades until I was in my early 30s.
You know, so I'd go here and there because I was craving tradition and meaning.
tim pool
That's a big component of it.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
And then it was after my son was born that I was like, well, we better get the kids some religion.
tim pool
Well, I've told this story where I went to go meet up with Seamus as he was getting out of Mass.
He was going to a Latin Mass.
And as I'm standing outside, as they're all getting out, I see a bunch of kids wearing their Sunday's best playing.
And I just said, compare this to like the inner city, like downtown Chicago and what kids are doing.
And I don't want my kids growing up that way.
You know, I think I was lucky that I got to grow up going to a Catholic school at least for the.
I left when I was 12.
I think I was 12.
I think that was very beneficial.
The kids who went to public school the whole time are.
They did not have a good go of things.
I mean, most of them were okay.
The kids who stayed with the Catholic schools, I wouldn't describe as.
Some of the kids also had a bad go of it just staying in the Catholic school.
daniel hayworth
Sure, of course.
tim pool
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
So here's what I would say.
So a little bit about my personal story is I was 14.
I was raised.
Largely Christian.
And then my parents went through a pretty nasty divorce as well.
My dad basically said, I don't believe any of this.
He went, became not only atheist, but like extremely anti the church and anti Christian and all of this other stuff.
And all sorts of other things spiraled at that point in my life.
So, you know, still pretty much a kid.
I was 14.
And I was really left facing this question okay, well, do I believe what I thought I was supposed to believe?
But now the guy who taught me I was supposed to believe it says I shouldn't believe it.
libby emmons
And that's crazy.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
And I felt nuts.
daniel hayworth
It was, it felt very nuts.
And so I was wrestling through this question of faith, and it led me to, I think you, one of y'all mentioned Lee Strobel's book, The Case for Faith.
unidentified
Yeah, and now my brother asked me to read that.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, so I was 14 years old, and I started thinking, okay, I want to know what is true.
And I want to know what is true because I want to live my life under the implications of the truth.
I do not want to live my life living in a world where I'm just looking at what's best for me because I don't think that I can even get there without knowing what's true.
I want to know what's true, you know, and now I have these really conflicting.
Sides of my life that are tearing me into two different worlds.
And the question is, okay, so what's true?
So I literally set out to basically do what Lee does in that book and say, okay, what's the answer to this Christianity thing?
And so I really started working on that question in my life.
And I came back to, no, Christianity is explicitly true for many reasons.
Now I read a bunch of stuff that I read The God Delusion, which is a book by Dawkins, right?
No, it's not Dawkins.
Yeah, Richard Dawkins.
Yeah, it is.
Sorry.
And Richard Dawkins' God Delusion.
And it was a really big book for a 14 year old.
So I Got to give myself some credit there, but a bunch of other stuff that's basically why Christianity isn't true.
And I kept coming back to a couple of different things.
And here's what I came back to one, the case that Lee makes throughout his series is almost irrefutable on the evidence.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
Two, C.S. Lewis makes a very strong argument in a book called Mere Christianity, which if nobody's read it, read Mere Christianity.
It'll, by the way, Tim, if you're like faith curious, that's probably the number one book I would tell you to go read.
tim pool
Well, my thing is, I believe in God.
Um, I just don't know that I believe in the resurrection and the stories of Christians.
daniel hayworth
Okay, then go read Case for Faith because Lee deals with the book, it's basically about the historical evidence for the resurrection.
Many people who are not Christians, once you look at the historical evidence of the resurrection, it's extremely convincing.
So I would recommend that to anyone who's interested.
tim pool
I suppose, without having read it, I don't have much to comment on that other than from what I learned in Catholic school and what I've known through my life.
I would just conclude the difficulty is a historical event that claims to be miraculous is still as any other historical event to me.
So, you can tell me about Genghis Khan and riding on horseback with arrows.
And I say, okay, you know, but like, so history always deviates to a certain degree.
This one is miraculous.
It still requires some evidence to convince me of this event.
So, this is, I say this even of history.
It's like, yeah, most of the history that we believe is false.
daniel hayworth
So, okay, so here's a, this is a good point on the history.
And this is quick.
And, and, uh, I'll just give it to you as a, as a sort of a, one of the things that was most convincing to me when I was wrestling with this question.
And I did wrestle for a long time.
And, uh, I'll get to the benefits here later if we have time.
But, um, What do you think the most widespread historical document is that we have the most copies of?
unidentified
That's the Bible.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, the New Testament.
Do you know by how much?
tim pool
By how much what?
daniel hayworth
Like how many manuscripts?
tim pool
Well, it's the number one selling book of all time forever.
daniel hayworth
So, what I mean is historical manuscripts.
So, manuscripts are like things that were written on, around, or in the time period of the historical period or near to it.
tim pool
Oh, yeah, there's like none.
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
You're asking how many.
daniel hayworth
How many manuscripts of the Bible are there?
So the first.
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim pool
You're asking how many books, how many historical books were written 2,000 years ago that persist today?
unidentified
It's very few.
daniel hayworth
Oh, it's very few.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
So the Bible has about 22,000 New Testament manuscripts.
unidentified
Wow.
daniel hayworth
The second leading book is the Iliad, right?
Homer's the Iliad, with about 275.
So the Bible is actually the most historically robust piece of history that we have.
There's more evidence for the life of Jesus Christ than there is of Caesar Augustus.
tim pool
Agreed.
daniel hayworth
Which would be shocking if Jesus were just some random Jew who led a revolt, as the secular historians would portray him.
But is not shocking if you look at history, like I said, through a spiritual lens and you say, is God working out his truth through all of humanity and trying to reveal it to all mankind so they can be saved by knowledge of the truth?
If that's what's happening, then it makes a lot of sense.
And so there are a lot of questions that go into the historical evidence of it, but the practical evidence of it is, I guess.
I looked at all this historical evidence and I said, Yes, I believe that this is true.
But the more convincing thing to me was one of the things I decided I was going to do throughout this process in my life I was going to open up the Bible and I was going to read a chapter every day.
And I just said, You know, God, I've believed that you're real.
I don't really know what I believe now.
I told you I think that you're real.
If you are real, just show me.
And so I would open up the Bible.
And I mean, this was a terrible time in my life, you know, and not to dunk on him publicly because I don't want to do that.
I love my dad and I wish him the very best.
But he started doing things that were very foreign and not good for a child, you know, in my life.
And I was watching all this and I was going through this period of my life where I'm really wrestling and I'm thinking, what, God, what is, if you're here, just show me, like show up for me.
You know, a lot of people have said this.
And so I just read the Bible, I opened it up and I read a chapter a day for about a year of my life.
And two things convinced me.
One, I read the evidence and I said, this is insurmountable.
The evidence that is for Christianity is so much greater than the evidence against it.
And two, I personally experienced when I was reading God's word that there is a deeper truth there than anything I could find anywhere else in the world.
And I have continued to experience that as true still today.
And the benefits to my life, because I've lived my life, even if I didn't believe it, I've lived my life as if that it's true.
And I've just seen immense benefit because.
I believe that it's the truth that keeps you in line.
I have a wonderful family.
I have kids.
I have four kids, by the way, and we're raising all of them in Christianity because, like Libby said, it.
libby emmons
You're not like doing three in and one out.
daniel hayworth
No, not three in and one out.
No, we have twins.
So, like, one of the twins is going to be a Gnostic.
And I've seen the benefit in my kids because it gives them a worldview by which they can understand all of the complex things that are going on in the world good and evil and why do these different things happen.
And so, there are a lot of benefits to your family.
The community benefit of being in the church, the church is powerful.
Having people that you can turn to that don't want anything from you, they want more for you than from you.
I mean, I tell people that all the time.
You should have people like that in your life.
Who has that in our modern culture?
libby emmons
It also starts to, I mean, I found I struggle with faith.
I struggle with faith a lot and I have not my whole life.
You know, I feel like faith is a gift and it's not easy, you know, to have faith.
But having faith, I think, kind of protects you from the void of meaninglessness.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
And that's something that I struggle with a lot.
Like, I didn't read Strobel and all that stuff when I was that age, and I was struggling with it.
I started reading, like, Sartre and Camus and all of the existentialists.
phil labonte
Oh, God.
unidentified
Yeah.
phil labonte
So, driving the car off the road.
Nihilism, yeah.
unidentified
Basically.
libby emmons
But one thing I discovered eventually about the existentialists is that there is no existentialism without Christianity because the basis for existentialism is not an amorality, it's existing within a Christian framework and believing that.
Mankind is responsible for his own actions.
And that doesn't exist if it's just there's nothing.
You know, like now what we see, now we see what happens when there's nothing.
There's looted stores.
tim pool
That's another big component for me as well.
The loss of Christian faith in this country has led to children getting their balls chopped off and other demonic evils.
libby emmons
Really evil things.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
Because when the foundations are destroyed, how can it stand?
So here's the question I would ask.
libby emmons
And a million abortions a year.
daniel hayworth
Yeah.
libby emmons
A million.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
And we look at all of that, and I mean, so, Here's a question I would just pose to you.
libby emmons
We're back in child sacrifice era.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, that's right.
By the way, there are three spirits that are seen throughout the Bible Baal, Ashtaroth, and Moloch, and they come up over and over and over again.
Baal is the worship of money and possessions and the self.
libby emmons
That's the one that's spelled B A A L. B A A Baal.
daniel hayworth
Ashtaroth, which is, you know, and these different gods, deities pop up in different names throughout scripture and throughout history.
Ashtaroth, which is in Greek, Aphrodite, goddess of sexual perversion, and Moloch, which is child sacrifice.
unidentified
So first.
tim pool
Oh, my God.
See, that's the shit I'm talking about.
unidentified
Yeah.
daniel hayworth
You start out with, I want everything that I can get.
I want to get my best life, get mine while I can.
And you start to worship yourself and the things that you can get.
Does that sound like our culture?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
daniel hayworth
And then the next thing is, well, I want to have sex with whoever I can outside of the context of marriage.
And I want to just do whatever I want to do.
Free love, baby.
Well, does that sound like our culture?
Well, what comes after that?
Unwanted children.
And so what must you do?
libby emmons
It's so crazy that there could be unwanted children.
daniel hayworth
You take the unwanted child and you pass it through Baal or Moloch.
Moloch is this demon god that God literally, by the way, when you look at the Old Testament, you're like, man, God is violent.
It's because he's wiping out civilizations that did stuff like this, where they would take their children that were unwanted from their sexual perversion because they worshiped Asterith and they would take them to Moloch and they would light a fire.
They would put this bronze statue in the middle of the fire and the statue had arms and they would put the baby in the searing hot arms of the fire and sacrifice the children to Moloch.
Seth Gruber is a good friend of mine, and he repeatedly points out that the most common method of abortion is the chemical abortion pill, which literally burns children alive in utero.
And so not only has the act not changed, but the methodology has not even changed.
tim pool
We got to bring callers in.
Yeah.
So let's bring in Courier626.
unidentified
What's up?
libby emmons
More abortion now since the overturning of Roe.
daniel hayworth
Demons don't like being pushed back on.
libby emmons
Way more.
unidentified
Howdy, howdy.
Chit, chit.
What up?
phil labonte
What's going on, bud?
courier 626 in unknown
Good to be here.
Good to be here.
Long time, first time.
My question is for Mr. Daniel Hayworth.
What is your view on progressive politics and its relationship to female leadership in the church?
Like, you know, around here, we see there's a lot of like Episcopalian female leadership, lesbian pastors spreading pro abortion, pro Moloch worship, things like that.
So, how do you think the female leadership has affected the church?
Jesus Return to Israel 00:15:47
daniel hayworth
The church is not meant to be led by females, and there's a reason for that.
God creates a headship that the church is supposed to mirror that's given specifically to men.
And the reason that I say that is that when God creates, he gives roles.
Now, he gives you're equal in value and worth as a man or a woman in the eyes of God.
And so you're not different because you're a man or a woman.
You're not more valuable than your wife, for instance.
But one of the things that God does is he assigns to people different roles.
And so you see this played out in marriage, and you see it played out in the church.
The church and marriage are parallel relationships.
They parallel each other.
You find that in Ephesians 5, which you can read.
And when you see churches that are elevating women to roles which God did not intend for them, you see the destruction of the church which God has created because it's out of order.
And so the church is meant to be orderly, ultimately underneath the leadership of Christ.
And so when you see that all of these people are getting promoted and they're promoting views that are anti biblical and out of order with God's word, then you would say, well, that ceases actually at that.
Point to be a church and it becomes something else.
Or maybe it's a church of some other deity, but it's not Christianity.
And that's why a lot of these denominations that have gone woke, these Episcopalians, the first thing you see is.
libby emmons
What do you mean it's some other deity?
daniel hayworth
Oh, so, like if you're a church with a pride flag on your steeple and you're welcoming people in, you are not a church of Christ.
You are a church that worships something else.
libby emmons
You're worshiping something.
daniel hayworth
Yeah, you're worshiping something that's not Christ.
Because Christ is not, in and of himself, the God of the LGBT mafia and the spirit of the age.
Those are demonic forces.
Those are, and those are.
Forces that are really alive today that want you to worship them as if they were God, but they are not God, but they've usurped the name of God in order to take upon themselves worshipers.
But that's not what Christianity is about.
Christianity is about worshiping the one who came, who was a perfect sacrifice for our sin, died on the cross, was rose from the grave, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father.
That's what Christianity is about.
If your services are about chopping off kids' genitals and affirming transgenderism and worshiping pagan sex religions, sex cults, which is what the LGBT sex cult is, then you're not a church of Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Interesting.
libby emmons
Yeah, that makes sense.
phil labonte
Got any follow ups?
daniel hayworth
That was helpful.
unidentified
Yeah.
courier 626 in unknown
Yes, I do actually.
My follow up would be since I looked at your website really quick and your first staff member listed is Pastor Lindsay Oswald.
So I was just going to wonder how do you square having a female pastor in leadership with that view that you just presented?
daniel hayworth
Yeah, none of the elders that lead our church are, and she's not over the Like she's underneath me, and I'm underneath a senior pastor, and our senior pastor's underneath a board of directors that are other pastors.
And all of that makes up the headship principle that I'm describing.
So she's equipped and empowered to do ministry because obviously there's roles in churches for ministry for women.
That's seen all throughout the New Testament church.
But she doesn't hold the headship of the church, she doesn't hold the ultimate responsibility of leading the church in the direction that it's supposed to go.
courier 626 in unknown
All right.
Thank you very much for your response.
I really appreciate it.
I'd just like to shout out one thing.
My mom, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, mom.
phil labonte
Happy birthday.
unidentified
Happy birthday.
Right on.
courier 626 in unknown
And thank you for letting me call.
tim pool
Thanks for calling in.
unidentified
Thanks.
Thanks, dude.
tim pool
All right.
Next up, we've got Stork91.
unidentified
What's up, Stork?
stork nine one in unknown
Hey, how are you doing, guys?
unidentified
Hey.
stork nine one in unknown
I'm a little bit confused because we have a Texan on the show tonight and he's not wearing a Stetson.
So I'm very confused.
daniel hayworth
I was a cavalry officer in the Army, so I have a very nice Stetson, but it's in my closet at home.
stork nine one in unknown
Oh, well, you know, there you go.
But yeah, no, I was talking about AI and everything last Friday, Tim, and I had a little bit of a question from this guy, seeing as how he was born in the same hospital as I was, most likely.
What's your feeling on the encroachment and takeover of Northeast DFW?
daniel hayworth
Oh, dude.
So this is the whole thing in the series that I'm talking about.
Islam is literally taking over the West, it's a targeted thing.
You can check out Rare Foundation, which is doing excellent work on this.
Amy Mech is a good friend.
And you can check out everything that's going on there.
It's one of the biggest problems.
Our series, The Cross and the Crescent, which I wrote and my pastor, Pastor Stephen Martin, and our church as a whole have been giving away.
We've given it away to over 200 churches already, specifically addresses this issue.
And without enough time to go into detail, you can watch that.
It's at vintage.church forward slash infidel.
You can watch the whole 10 week series and get a much longer take on what I think on the issue.
But I would just say I'm against it.
I would boil my 10 week, 10 hour take down to it's bad.
You should speak up and fight out against it.
stork nine one in unknown
Well, a little bit more than that, though, is the Oracle laid off about 1,000 people last week in the U.S. and then hired on about 2,600.
H1B, if you will, DFW in the Texas area on H1Bs.
And so, this AI revolution over taking over companies, it doesn't seem to be fixing the companies in charge of that.
It's very confusing.
I was wondering if anybody else wants to talk on that.
phil labonte
Well, they should end the H1B visa program.
Yeah, period.
daniel hayworth
It has taken over DFW, though.
You're 100% right.
Islam and then also the Indian immigration plus the AI stuff that they've integrated.
It has made areas where I used to once hold dear almost unrecognizable.
So we have to combat all those things.
Like you have to walk and chew gum.
You have to deal with all of these other problems and this major problem.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
stork nine one in unknown
I did have a follow up question.
Your church specifically calls, and this is not a Ziju's question, Dan Chill.
Your church calls for the Zionist belief in supporting the Jewish right to live in Israel and speaks on dispensationalism.
I'm wondering what your personal view on that is and just kind of how you feel about it.
daniel hayworth
So, if I understand your question right, my answer is my view on the Jewish people are that Zionism is really just that the people have a right to the homeland, the place of Israel.
That's really all that it means.
It's not this big scary thing that I think a lot of people make it out to be.
I do believe that historically, theologically, the Bible makes it pretty clear that Jesus is going to return to Israel.
He's going to return actually to Jerusalem, and it gives a very specific account.
He's going to descend on the Mount of Olives, he's going to walk through the East Gate.
There's literally a fault line on the East Wall of Jerusalem, and so you can literally see that.
I believe Christ is going to descend from heaven and he's going to stand on that mountain.
The fault line is going to split.
The gates, which no longer exist, it's a wall, are going to split open.
He's going to walk into the city of Jerusalem.
And so there's something specific and holy.
God is clearly, he's also said that the Jewish people are going to return en masse to Christ in the very last days.
That's one of the things that the Bible says about the end times.
And so you see a lot of people who are out here with the Jew hate, and I just think that has no real basis in Christianity.
You can love and pray for somebody's redemption.
In the same way, I do not hate people who are not Christian.
I pray for their redemption.
That means I can destroy the ideologies that they hold to, which hold them in the kingdom of darkness.
But I pray that every single person who doesn't know Christ turns to Him because why would I not want them to have eternal life?
But I think that the Bible is pretty clear that at a certain point, the nation that we now once again call Israel, which is the historical homeland of the Jews, is going to once again be.
Occupied not only by Jews, but by the by blood Jewish Messiah, who is Jesus Christ, who's going to come again.
stork nine one in unknown
I was wondering how you square that crusader cross you're wearing on your shirt with that idea, though.
daniel hayworth
Well, the first crusade was launched by Pope Urban II to fight the Muslims who went and took over the holy land of Jerusalem.
Islam actually rapidly expanded, it took over over 50% of the known Christian world in the first hundred years of Islam.
And so, in those first hundred years, Jerusalem was one of the first things it fell about 70 years after Muhammad's death.
And the Christian crusades were launched as a response to all of the violence and persecution by the Muslim hordes that were united under the caliphs in order to destroy the Christian world, which is part of their worldview, which is that one day the world will be covered by the global caliphate or the Ummah, as they call it.
And so the Crusader Cross is a representation that Christianity is not this neutered religion that you hear about by weak, skinny gened people that just sip lattes.
It's actually this deeply masculine religion about sacrifice and laying down your own life.
In order to protect what God has called good and his word and the people that hold to it, which is the story of the First Crusade, you can go look.
There's a really good book.
You can listen to our series and I talk about it there.
And then you can also read great books.
There's a scholar, Raymond Ibrahim, who has a three book series on this called Sword and Scimitar.
It's really great.
You should go read the accounts of men like Duke Godfrey of Bouillon, who literally was the one who led the First Crusade, was the first king of Jerusalem, but he wouldn't take that title.
He didn't like it.
He wanted to be the defender of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre instead.
These are great Christian men who we should have admiration for.
And so I don't know that there's anything to be squared.
I think that you square that.
I think that Jews are going to come to Christ and they're going to recognize Jesus as their Messiah in the last days.
And so I don't know that there's anything to be squared.
I don't need to go fight the Jews.
And the Crusades were never about fighting the Jews, it was always about fighting the Islamic takeover of Christendom.
stork nine one in unknown
Not what I meant.
I was trying to be more clarifying, essentially, in the terminology that was being used and give you a chance to steel man your position on it.
But I've taken up too much of your time.
I apologize.
I did want to say as a suggestion.
Well, you know, but Libby and Tim, especially since you have foundation in the church as well as scripture and some other things, you might want to actually look into Soren Kierkegaard, Works of Love.
It's a much better book, I think, for people who have foundation in Christianity and want to contend with some post liberal thought because the truth is that guy.
Worked out where all of this was going and how to answer a lot of those questions a long time ago.
But for some reason, outside of seminary and Bible churches, he doesn't really get a lot of that.
So go read it.
Works a lot.
Soren Kierkegaard.
unidentified
Right on.
tim pool
You want to shout anything out?
stork nine one in unknown
No, I was.
Well, I guess Savannah Hernandez got attacked outside of an ICE protest.
I guess shout out her, follow up with that, follow her.
She's doing some good work and whatnot.
I'm not familiar with everything that happened in the incident, but I've seen videos and it's pretty bad.
unidentified
So.
tim pool
Well, thanks for calling in, brother.
unidentified
Have a good one.
tim pool
All right.
Next up, we've got Weezy.
unidentified
What's up, Weezy?
What's up, dude?
Hey, guys.
I appreciate the opportunity to call in.
Got a question I think that maybe you guys have more insight into than I do.
Our founding fathers were a collection of Christians and deists who set up a system that would only function for moral and religious people.
How do we bring society to accept this again?
daniel hayworth
It's like the third generation person in a business who just, it's just all there for them.
unidentified
They think their morals are default and not downstream of Christian morality.
tim pool
That is correct.
phil labonte
How do you bring them in?
tim pool
Same way you would anyone else?
I don't know.
Those people are probably.
Yeah, I don't.
daniel hayworth
I have an answer for that, but I don't want to tell you.
unidentified
So, okay.
daniel hayworth
So, here's.
You're 100% right.
So, one, our country is in the third phase of what happens all throughout the Bible, which is there's a generation that knows God, they walk with him closely.
Then there's a generation that knows of God, meaning you know who he was.
And then there's a generation that doesn't know God.
And we're really.
On generation three, in terms of that.
And so, the problem that you're describing is we've forgotten who we were, where we came from, the foundations that were laid.
How do we remember them?
And the only answer to that is people who have the faith have to boldly proclaim it.
And that's why, you know, Jesus says that the gates of hell won't stand against the church.
And he's been right.
And by the way, the gates of hell have tried to stand against the church.
All sorts of persecution has become the church.
Nero used to take Christians, dip them in oil, hang them upside down by their ankles in his garden, and then light them on fire for Christ.
To be candles at his dinner parties.
That's the history of the Christian church, which is that we've suffered persecution after persecution.
Nothing, we should not have survived if it wasn't for the hand of God.
But the hand of God has preserved the church because it's his.
And so, how does the church continue to be preserved?
And the answer is bold proclamation of the gospel.
The problem that we have now is a lot of the churches have gotten lukewarm and soft and they've decided not to proclaim these things.
You have to be bold in saying what the truth is.
And then, as a culture, even if you're not.
You know, sure, if you fully believe the Bible yet, we can't be hostile to Christianity.
It is the foundation of the country.
And it's like Tim was saying a second ago one of the biggest arguments for Christianity in itself is that we've lost it and in it we've gotten some pretty demonic stuff in its place.
And so, would we rather return to the place where the founders had us, where we're built upon the truth of God's word and we're appealing to heaven and to divinity and the people, moral and religious people, which is a quote from John Adams?
Is that exactly.
Where we need to return.
Yes, you're right.
How do we get there?
The only answer is that you boldly proclaim the gospel and you invite people back to the foundations, which really is the church.
That's where the, by the way, there's a pretty good movie out right now called Great Awakening.
It's a little bit lower budget, but it tells the story of George Whitefield, who's one of the pastors.
All of the people that went to the revolution went because their pastors told them this is what the Bible says you should do.
unidentified
Wow.
daniel hayworth
That's what pastors need to start doing again, and people need to go back to church and get their money back.
tim pool
Well, there's too many churches with, you know, gay communist flags.
daniel hayworth
That's 100% right.
Well, that's why we've By the way, so here's a cool thing.
I'm going to D.C. tomorrow with a group of pastors throughout the country who are the bold pastors who are saying the kinds of things that I'm here on the show saying that are going to pray over people who are in the administration and different and try and be that light.
But you're right, there's been a sifting in the church.
A lot of people have gone woke and soft.
And to those people, I would say return to the truth of God's word and stand boldly upon it.
Ephesians 6 is this really awesome chapter in scripture that's the full armor of God.
And it tells you all of the things that you have to do.
In order to walk out the Christian life, do those things and do them not afraid.
I'm not ashamed of the gospel because it's the power of God for salvation to anyone who believes.
I believe that.
If you really believe that, then proclaim that to the people that you know and find a church that boldly proclaims it to you and isn't afraid of being called racist or sexist or xenophobic or whatever hateful slur they want to throw at you that day.
Just preach God's word and don't be afraid.
That's how you get the country to return.
I think a spiritual revival is the only thing that can restore America now, and I pray for it every single day.
libby emmons
Do you think it's happening?
unidentified
I do.
daniel hayworth
I actually do.
You guys would be shocked at the number of people I've seen come to Christ this year.
I mean, the month after Charlie died, our church across three locations runs about 2,500 or 3,000 people a week.
The month after Charlie died, we baptized, not just people who said, Hey, I want to fall after Christ, like literally dunked him in the water, got him up.
We baptized hundreds of people.
libby emmons
In my church, we've seen a lot of people coming in during Lent, which is when you can fast track to Catholicism.
unidentified
Yeah.
libby emmons
That's correct.
unidentified
Yes.
Spiritual Revival Needed 00:01:32
libby emmons
You get baptized, you do the whole thing.
It's like soup to nuts, you know, it's like a whole program.
But we've seen a lot of people coming in to do the whole thing, you know, straight through baptism to confirmation to be part of the.
Church and like every Sunday, it's been the father standing up there and being like, you know, and we'd like to welcome all of these people.
