Democrats scream no and start crying as Ilhan Omar is removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee in a tit-for-tat act of retribution by Republicans.
In our next story...
In more serious note, a Republican councilwoman was gunned down in a targeted attack, and this one is kind of freaky.
She seemed like an upstanding citizen, an EMT, church-going, but she beat a Democrat in a shock election.
I wonder if it's political.
In our next story, I directly respond to Hasan Piker, prominent leftist, and the reason is to make the point that even when you agree with these people, they find a reason to hate you, to mock you, and insult you, and they don't even bother to research their arguments.
This segment is about war in Ukraine, and curing blindness, and things like universal healthcare.
If you like the show, give us a good review, leave us five stars, share the show with your friends.
Now, let's get into that first story.
A video is going viral showing Democrats screaming NOOO quite literally in the fashion of the meme of the woman falling to her knees and screaming NOOO as the Republicans vote to oust Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee in what the New York Times calls revenge.
I don't call it revenge.
I call it retribution.
Why?
Nancy Pelosi removed Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Gosar from their committee assignments over content they had posted.
And in the case of Marjorie Taylor Greene, it was things she posted before she even got elected.
And what the media says, and what AOC is saying, and they're lying, is she—AOC comes out and says Marjorie Taylor Greene was talking about Jewish space lasers.
She wasn't.
It's a lie.
Marjorie Taylor Greene certainly has a kooky post about lasers causing forest fires.
But she didn't say anything about Jewish people.
Ah.
She talked about Rothschild Bank funding and thus that turned into Jewish space lasers.
It's ridiculous either way.
It happened before she was even in office.
Ilhan Omar has made numerous statements that have been perceived as anti-Semitic.
I don't think so.
Personally, I think it's crop-dusting anti-Semitism where she said stuff like it's all about the Benjamins and are they really loyal to this country in reference to, you know, Israel or certain politicians who are in favor of Israel, I should say.
So, of course, she's been heavily criticized by many Jewish organizations and politicians in general as being anti-Semitic.
Surprisingly, Matt Gaetz came to her defense and said, removing her from her committee is because she said something that you don't like is wrong.
And people are actually surprised to see it.
I'm not.
When you follow someone and you know what they think and why they think it, you wouldn't be surprised when they stand up on principle.
But one of the themes of the videos I've been producing today is that the left doesn't know exactly what I or anyone else thinks.
They just see a caricature from fake news media like Media Matters that manipulate and pull things out of context, or the Young Turks.
So everyone says, Matt Gaetz is a fascist.
Then they're shocked when he's like, Ilhan Omar, I don't know if she should be removed, it's free speech.
Now, not only do we have the screaming of the No's in Congress, I'm going to play the video, it's actually kind of funny.
We've got other members of the squad losing their minds over this.
AOC is saying it's the targeting of women of color.
And Rashida Tlaib literally breaks down crying.
Yo, she's losing a committee assignment, calm down.
Marjorie Taylor Greene didn't cry about it.
But I do agree with Matt Gaetz.
I'm not sure that we should boot her from committees because she said naughty words.
I think she should watch her tone or whatever, but I should put it better.
Be more respectful and try not to be callous in the way you speak.
Now, Ilhan Omar went on TV and CNN and said, I had no idea there were stereotypes about Jewish people and money.
And nobody believes it!
That just makes me think she knew exactly what she was saying when she said it.
I think a resolution condemning her statements It's sufficient.
I think coming out on the floor and saying, please don't do that again, we do not respect it, is sufficient.
Don't take away someone's committee assignments just because they say things you disagree with.
Like, we need people to be in Congress who disagree, and even if they cross the line, we shouldn't say, you now have no authority here, you can't talk about these, like, I don't know if I agree with that.
Perhaps there's a line, perhaps there are certain things, and maybe this is it for the American people, for members of Congress, what Ilhan Omar said crossed that line, and thus the GOP says, fine, you're out.
But that's why I say it's retribution.
Nancy Pelosi wanted to boot people from their committees, then Kevin McCarthy says, so be it!
These are the rules you asked for!
Rashida Tlaib, I think it is, or maybe Cori Bush, they come out and they're like, where's the free speech warriors now?
Standing right here, yo.
But this is what you asked for.
Far be it from me to tell you to live the way I think people should live.
If you advocate for censorship, I will happily apply that censorship to you.
And me?
Well, I'll give free speech to those who ask for it.
Because I am done defending bad faith individuals.
Let's read the news, though.
And then there's a funny bit here.
As we're talking about corruption in politics, I just want to give a little special aside to this story.
Hunter Biden's calling for a criminal probe into the laptop repair shop in Giuliani, inadvertently acknowledging it's his.
Funny how that works, doesn't it?
Maybe we'll get into that as well.

The resolution is on adoption of the resolution. Those in favor say aye.
Those in favor say no.
It's the opinion of the chair that the ayes have it and the resolution is agreed to.
And without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
And we got a bunch of reactions that you gotta see.
The race baiting from AOC.
The fake free speech concerns.
Rashida Tlaib literally cries.
She breaks down crying.
It's taking off her committee, man.
It's crazy when Marjorie Taylor Greene got the boot.
Nobody lost their minds like this.
And this is a big problem.
Because when Democrats do Republicans, they go, nah, nah, this is what you get.
And the Republicans do it back.
It's not just the no meme with the woman falling to the ground and going, no!
It's also the meme where the feminist is throwing manure over a wall that says the internet.
And then when they throw it back, she goes, help, misogyny!
When the Democrats do these things, they clap and cheer and say, well, that's what you get.
And then if anyone does anything back, oh no, they're attacking my free speech.
I want to show you those reactions.
Let's read a little bit of the news, give some context first.
The New York Times says, A bitterly divided House on Thursday ousted Rep.
Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from the Foreign Affairs Committee over past comments about Israel that were widely condemned as anti-Semitic, as Republicans moved to cater to the demands of right-wing members and mete out punishment to a Democrat their party has demonized for years.
The 218-211 party line vote, with one member voting present.
That's funny.
settled a partisan score that has been festering since 2021, when the House,
then controlled by Democrats, stripped Reps Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar of Arizona
of their committee assignments for social media posts in which they endorsed violence against
Omar delivered on a threat that Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California made at the time to retaliate if his party took the House majority by removing Democrats whom Republicans regarded as unfit to serve on committees.
Last week, he unilaterally removed Reps Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both of California, from the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where membership is appointed and thus not subject to a vote.
That's interesting.
Mr. McCarthy's decision to force the removal of Ms.
Omar, a step that some of his rank-and-file resisted in the earliest days of his new majority, demonstrated his determination to ingratiate himself with the hard-right Republican base, which has made the Somali-born Ms.
Omar a target for some of its most vicious attacks.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Hold on there a minute.
Let's explain this.
Look, I'm sure there are people who don't like Ilhan Omar for a variety of reasons.
I know there's a lot of people who don't like her because they view her as anti-Semitic.
She's associated with groups that are largely anti-Semitic.
But this is about statements she made being ignored.
It's about things she said that many people were offended by, and all they did was condemn bigotry in general.
And Nancy Pelosi wanted to remove—and did remove—Republican reps from committees.
So Kevin McCarthy said, we'll put it to a vote.
And the vote stands.
And I believe that means—I believe Matt Gaetz probably voted for the removal.
Maybe he was the one who voted president.
I doubt it.
I think it was Democrat.

Now, as also as a fellow New Yorker, I think one of the things that we should talk about here is also one of the disgusting legacies after 9-11 has been the targeting and racism against Muslim Americans throughout the United States of America, and this is an extension of that legacy.
Consistency?
There is nothing consistent with the Republican Party's continued attack except for the racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body.
I have a member of the Republican caucus No, she didn't.
my life and you all and the Republican caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious
committee assignments in this Congress.
Don't tell me this is about consistency.
Don't tell me that this is about an abdic a condemnation of anti-Semitic remarks when
you have a member of the Republican caucus who have to have talked about Jewish space
Okay, well let's talk about that lie right here because it was actually Media Matters
for America who wrote the story up.
Marjorie Taylor Greene penned conspiracy theory that a laser beam from space started a deadly
2018 California wildfire.
Hey, I actually think that's kinda kooky.
Yeah, I think it's a silly thing to have said.
Did Media Matters say she was talking about Jewish space lasers?
No.
They mention that she's pushed a bunch of conspiracy theories, she thought a laser from a satellite started a fire, and the only connection to the idea of Jewish is that she mentioned Rothschilds in it.
Which, um, I don't understand why you hear Rothschilds and then immediately try and connect this to all Jewish people.
Oh, I get it.
Because AOC, in my opinion, Ilhan Omar, and others, literally are anti-Semitic.
That's why Jewish space lasers is now trending.
Here's what I think.
People like Ilhan Omar, they've associated with, look, the Women's March is a great example.
Prominent members of the Women's March turned out to be deeply anti-Semitic.
It's all racist white supremacy and misogyny and anti-Muslim and Islamophobia.
It's the only argument they've ever had.
No, I gotta be fair with y'all.
I actually lean towards Matt Gaetz being right, and I believe Matt Gaetz voted in favor of her removal, because it's a party-line vote, and I think one Democrat voted present.
Matt Gaetz's surprise defense of Ilhan Omar gets a big thing right.
Okay.
Republicans want to—House Republicans will vote this week—this is an old article, of course—on whether to remove Minnesota Democrat from the Foreign Affairs Committee, Ilhan Omar, to punish her for various proclaimed reasons.
This week, Gaetz blurted out an uncomfortable truth about the GOP's effort.
Republicans want to punish Omar because they don't like what she has to say, Gates said on Monday.
Though he remains undecided on whether to remove her, he correctly questioned the validity of doing this because, I don't like your viewpoint.
In saying that, Gates exposed some essential truths about this affair that other Republicans have taken great pains to disguise.
Republicans have manufactured a bunch of fig leaf justifications for removing Omar, but none withstand scrutiny.
I'm not here to play games with you guys.
I think the reason they removed her is a tit for tat.
I think it's retribution.
I think it is specifically, you want to remove us, we'll remove you, don't care for the reason.
They have one, they will take it.
Republicans have suggested Omar is an anti-Semite, Trump has declared she hates Jews, and GOP leaders keep insisting that's why she must be removed.
But the substantive GOP case against Omar's anti-Semitic comments spelled out in the resolution of her removal is very weak.
Yes, some of those were seriously problematic, such as her tweet that Israel's U.S.
allies are driven by money, but Omar apologized.
Okay, okay, come on.
From the New York Post, Ilhan Omar accused of lying with claims she was unaware of tropes about Jews and money.
You mean to tell me she didn't know that?
I don't believe it.
I think she's a liar.
Rep Ilhan Omar is drawing heat again, this time for claiming that she was unaware there are tropes about Jews and money, leaving an aide to Senator Ted Cruz to declare, give me a break.
Seriously, come on.
Omar was trying to defend herself in a CNN interview Sunday from accusations that she made anti-Semitic comments.
She said, quote, I certainly did not or was not aware that the word hypnotized was a trope.
I wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money.
That has been a very enlightening part of this journey.
No idea.
None.
Whatsoever.
Yeah.
Don't buy it.
To insinuate that I knowingly said these things when people have read into my comments to make it sound as if I was saying something against Jewish people is so wrong.
Well, I also think you combine that with the people you associate with and then it's probably like, yeah, you know, maybe it's true.
Sure.
And they say, you know, first Muslims elected to Congress, etc., etc.
Ilhan Omar employed one anti-Semitic trope in 2012, after which she learned all about anti-Semitism from Jewish organizations.
She then employed another one in 2019.
Avi Meir, the former managing director of public affairs and senior spokesperson for the American Jewish Committee, said on the social media site.
But she didn't know there were tropes about Jews and money, he said, linking to her appearance on CNN.
Steve Guest, Special Advisor to Communications for Cruise, was incredulous.
Democrat Rep Ilhan Omar claims on CNN that she was not aware the word hypnotized was a trope and wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about using money.
Give me a break!
That's BS!
I gotta admit, I agree.
Uh-oh, they bring up Kanye West.
I'm not gonna get into the Kanye West stuff.
No, I think they're lying.
But let's talk about the Republicans.
Look, Republicans get their revenge, but it's raw politics.
That's what it is.
Removing Ilhan Omar just gives more power to Republicans in some way.
It's a sword waving, it is tit-for-tat, it is retribution.
But I'm not going to leave the Republicans out of this one because I think it's all dirty.
Mitch McConnell's a bad guy.
Mitch McConnell gets his revenge on Republican rivals who challenged his leadership by removing them from committees.
Amazing, isn't it?
Amazing.
Two Senate Republicans who sought to undermine Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's leadership have lost valuable committee assignments in the new Congress.
Committee placements in the upper chamber have had to be reshuffled after Democrats expanded their previous working majority by one seat, having flipped Pennsylvania's red Senate seat blue in November.
And one of the GOP lawmakers paying the price is Florida Senator Rick Scott, who last year
oversaw Senate Republicans' lackluster election showing as chairman of the National Republic
Senatorial Committee. Scott also challenged McConnell's years-long reign as Senate Republican
leader, though he was soundly defeated by the Kentucky legislator. He confirmed to multiple
sources on Wednesday that both he and Utah Senator Mike Lee were yanked off of the Senate
Commerce Committee.
Lee had given Scott his full-throated endorsement to replace McConnell.
Both also heavily criticized Republican leadership last year for working with Democrats to pass a $1.7 trillion omnibus.
Mitch happens. Lee wrote on Twitter on Wednesday night in a post that was retweeted by Scott.
Stop voting for these people and stop giving them money.
Period. Mitch McConnell needs to go.
For a variety of reasons.
Not just internal party politics, but also I think he's just all around a bad guy.
I think all of our Democrat friends can agree, right?
How about that?
Don't care who they get to replace him, just no more Mitch McConnell.
I think what we're seeing now is Republicans taking power, wielding that power in acts of retribution, be it within their own party in the Senate or against Ilhan Omar.
Now, to be fair, the removal of Schiff and Swalwell, I believe, is absolutely warranted.
The Intelligence Committee is something special.
You get access to private information.
It's not the same thing as being on the Foreign Affairs Committee or something like that.
So, I think it's important to point out.
And I also want to make sure I stress what Marjorie Taylor Greene posted while Seemingly nonsensical.
She talked about Rothschilds.
Rothschild Inc.
Soleran or Jerry Brown.
She's talking about financiers.
She didn't say anything about them being Jewish.
Y'all made that part up.
But while we're here, I wanted to make sure I was able to squeeze in some talk of corruption from the Democrats.
Oh yeah.
Oh really?
A criminal probe?
I saw this the other day and I thought it was funny, but check this out.
Attorneys for Hunter Biden on Wednesday asked state and federal agencies to investigate
a computer repair shop owner, Rudy Giuliani, and a number of right-wing political figures
involved in disseminating contents of his laptop, alleging that they committed computer
and other criminal violations in their effort to weaponize the laptop contents against his
I'd like to pause and just say I don't think so, though I wouldn't be surprised if the DOJ starts going after people.
It's abandoned property.
It's trash.
That's it.
And I'm sure all of these individuals consulted lawyers before coming out with the information.
Not to mention, there's like, what, dozens of people who have the entire contents of the hard drive?
Uh-oh.
Here we go.
Check this out.
The allegations made in letters to the Delaware Attorney General, the Justice Department's National Security Division, and the IRS mark the first time President Joe Biden's son and his legal team have publicly acknowledged that it was his personal data purported to be on a laptop left at the Delaware repair shop.
However, his legal team said their new outreach does not amount to confirmation of the laptop narrative that has been circulated on the right.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't get to play that game.
Jackie Heinrich says new.
Attorney for Hunter Biden tells me letters requesting investigation into the laptop repair store owner, Julianne and others, are not an acknowledgment the laptop is in fact Hunter's.
Then what's the crime?
Who's the complainant?
Who's the victim?
The state?
Either Hunter Biden says, it was mine— Okay, let's play a game, Hunter.
Hey guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network.
Look, there are a lot of shows out there that are explaining the political news cycle, what's happening on the Hill, the this, the that.
There are no other shows that are cutting straight to the point when it comes to the unprecedented lawfare debilitating And affecting the 2024 presidential election.
We do all of that every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

Somebody buys a photo album of a Dubuque Catholic family eating cheeseburgers and then runs the story, vegan family actually eats burgers.
Oh, heavens me!
I'm going to sue the person who sold that photo album.
It's not a photo album of me.
I don't get it.
The computer repair store owner?
What did he do?
Why are you getting invested?
What criminal thing did he do by saying, I believe this is Hunter Biden's, here you go, you can have it.
If Hunter Biden did not own the laptop, then who is he to complain about it being given out?
I'm sure you can make the argument the laptop owner said certain things, but if you're talking about disseminating computer files and they aren't yours, then who's the complainant?
You'll make a civil case out of it and say defamation?
Okay, fine, fair point.
Y'all just confirmed it.
And they keep trying to lie, saying it's not Hunter's.
We know it is!
It's confirmed.
Numerous outlets confirmed it.
The letters signal a distinct change in the strategy by Hunter Biden, after bringing on new lawyers to help defend him against an onslaught of attacks from Republicans who have sought to use his personal struggles with drugs and congressional probes of his business dealings to attack the president.
Hunter Biden also faces an ongoing federal criminal investigation that is focused on tax and other issues.
In addition to the letters to the government agencies, Biden's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter to Fox News and the network's host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, calling for the retraction of a story broadcast on Carlson's show that Biden's team say is false.
CNN has reached out to Fox News for comment.
I'm sorry, but that just doesn't quite add up.
Kathy Jennings, Hunter Biden's attorneys accused computer repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac
of unauthorized access of the laptop and distributing its contents to the New York Post for a story
published in the weeks before the 2020 election.
I'm sorry, but that just doesn't quite add up.
If it's not your data, you have no standing to make a complaint.
This failed dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation, and
manipulation of Mr. Biden's private and personal information.
You know, look, I was torn between the Ilhan Omar breaking news and this story, so, you know, we're basically doing both.
But let me just wrap it all with a nice little bow.
Corruption.
That's what we're looking at.
Hardcore corruption.
Okay.
You want to come out and say the data was his?
Fine.
Proves corruption.
How about this, Hunter?
I agree, we should get a criminal probe into you and your dad.
Because the laptop shows you were doing something wrong.
Or at the very least, let's impeach these people.
Just get them out.
All of them.
Republicans, if you got time and energy to remove Ilhan Omar, start working on the votes to impeach Joe Biden for this.
The letter asks for investigations into Garrett Ziegler, John Paul MacIsaac, Robert Costello, Rudy Giuliani, and Steve Bannon.
MacIsaac's attorney, Brian R. DeLaRocca, confirmed receipt of the letter and said, after skimming it, all he saw was a privileged person hiring another high-priced attorney to redirect attention away from his own unlawful actions.
The Justice Department declined to comment, and CNN has also reached out to the IRS and the Delaware Attorney General's office.
In the years since the laptop's existence first became public, Hunter Biden has sought to cast doubt about the provenance of his personal information purported to come from the laptop.
It appears to contain a massive trove of information detailing, among other things, business documents, emails, and photos, including some potentially salacious materials.
So anyway, right, let me bring this together.
Nancy Pelosi removes people from their committee assignments, and the Democrats say good.
They don't care about the laptop, even though intelligence agencies lied about it.
These people are, across the board, generally corrupt, whiny crybabies.
I think it's an important thing to point out.
And I think it's something that we need to highlight as we move into a primary year.
Now, we're not going to get into primary season as we move closer to the end of the year.
2024 is going to be bonkers.
We're in a semi-off year, but politics, it's going to be lit.
And the Biden document scandal, the laptop scandal, some suggest could be the end of Joe Biden as president.
But I don't know who else you're going to get.
In the meantime, Republicans are moving into Congress, and this is their first action.
Getting retribution or accountability for what the Democrats did.
The next thing we need to see?
An investigation of the Bidens.
So let me connect them with these stories with a very simple line.
I don't care about Ilhan Omar.
Fine.
The reactions are silly.
You've got voting power.
I want to know what's going on.
Here's what we're going to do.
How about anybody who's got the laptop, give it to these guys.
I'm pretty sure members of Congress have it.
I'm pretty sure Matt Gaetz probably has it.
Let's see it.
Let's get an investigation.
Let's get forensics experts.
Let's start going through all of the emails and the documents.
It's crazy that even to this day, new emails are emerging because people got to go through every single one.
And they're uncovering now the latest stories that Hunter Biden may have had access to classified information.
Well, lo and behold, Joe Biden left classified information in his garage where Hunter Biden claimed to live.
Let's have Congress focus on these things, things that are important, and things that may have an impact.
So they removed Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib cried.
Fine, it may be schadenfreude, but I'm not interested in that.
Okay?
I'm interested in, is there actual corruption happening within our government?
And it looks like there is.
And now we need some real law enforcement action.
Tell Ilhan Omar, go do your thing, whatever.
Get with the program.
What's happening with the President of the United States?
Why are FBI agents raiding his home?
Why, why are our FBI agents raiding his home?
His office numerous times.
The latest news here is they're gonna go and search Mike Pence's house.
Fine, all of them.
I don't care.
If they all violated the Records Act, then they're all out.
So be it.
And we'll have Newsome v. DeSantis.
I'll take it.
The conspiracy theories about DeSantis to me are just weird, to be honest.
Where people are like, I think he's a neocon, he's working with all these people, and I'm like, he's given you everything you've wanted.
You know?
Donald Trump is a bull in a china shop.
There's pros and there's cons.
But here's what I'm just tired of.
You know what?
I'm tired of all of it.
I want the corruption weeded out.
I want Democrats to back off and stop screaming and crying.
But you know what?
I will take what Kevin McCarthy has offered for today.
I will take the removal of Swalwell, of Schiff, and Ilhan Omar.
Fine.
It'll feel good.
It won't make that big of a difference.
But getting these guys off the intelligence agencies probably was a really, really important move.
Ilhan Omar, fine, whatever.
But not so much.
I don't really care.
I want to know what's going on, and I want to know what we're going to do to solve these problems.
For the time being, it seems like the only thing the Republicans can do in Congress is use the power of Congress as political weaponry as we move into 2024.
The primaries, the general.
The actions they take now may swing public opinion in their favor, so long as they do it right.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 6 p.m.
over at youtube.com slash timcastnews.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
We have a shocking and breaking news story this morning from the Daily Mail.
New Jersey councilwoman, 30, is gunned down in her SUV outside her home.
Republican was shot multiple times in targeted attack while driving.
Eunice Dwumfer was killed while turning home to her New Jersey apartment.
This is a Republican councilwoman.
She ousted a Democrat.
We don't know what the motive is, and so this may not be political at all.
I don't want to come out and say, look, here's a news story.
This individual was a Republican, therefore.
But this individual was a Republican councilman.
So this is a Republican politician being targeted and killed.
The reason?
The motives?
We don't know.
But of course, as we're in this environment of increased polarization, and we have other stories of a similar nature.
We have the story about Solomon Pena, who a New Mexico grand jury has indicted him for the targeted attacks on Democrats.
You know where I'm going with this.
You know how I feel.
I'd say that, you know, someone jokingly mentioned on Tim Cast IRL that I have a gambling addiction, because I always say, like, if I was a gambling man, if I was going to make a bet, I'd put it on this, like the analogy that I use.
What I mean to say is, when I look at everything, and it's through my eyes and through what I read, and I read a lot, I have my biases, my confirmation bias.
I see stories like this and I say, it seems to me it's more likely politically targeted than not.
However, that's not a whole lot of information to go off of.
Like, this lady could have, maybe she stole someone's garden gnome or something like that.
I don't want to, you know, speak ill of this woman.
I mean, she was just murdered.
And I don't know that she did anything wrong to anybody.
We just don't know.
We just don't know.
I'm not going to assume anything wrong on her part.
She's the victim.
And then in this story with Solomon Pena, you have the perpetrator.
But these are two stories about, one, a Republican being killed, and this is just breaking this morning.
And then we have the story of this guy who is a Republican who was trying to target Democrats.
In this context, I think it actually is worth bringing up this University of Chicago podcast.
Is the U.S.
headed toward another civil war?
Political scientists examine extreme polarization and whether we're more moderate than we think.
Now, I'm not going to say I agree with these people.
I think they live in a wacky reality.
I think I've got a segment later about Hassan Piker.
Even when I agree with the guy, he still acts like we disagree.
It's the weirdest thing.
And that plays into exactly what I'm talking about with Civil War.
And maybe I should have done that segment first, but this is breaking news.
But you know, Hassan Piker, Uh, was critical, or I should say he was filled with rage for watching MrBeastCureBlindness because it shouldn't be incumbent upon a YouTube creator, and I agree with him, and yet somehow, he made a segment where he said that I was wrong and his fans were attacking me, like, even when I come out and I'm like, yo, this dude's right about- about this, it doesn't matter.
That's tribalism.
If I can't agree with you and you can't agree with me, or I'm- I'm sorry, if I can agree with you and be like, yeah, let's- let's- let's figure this one out, and then you still attack me for it, There's no outcome in working together.
But I'll talk about that one later.
Let's talk about this breaking news for now.
The Daily Mail reports...
Eunice Duomfer, 30, was found dead in her white Nissan SUV after it crashed near her home on Point of Wood Drive in New Jersey.
The Republican councilwoman was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses claim the suspected gunman was spotted racing away from the Camelot at La Mer apartment complex and a 911 call was placed at 7.22pm.
Authorities say that the councilwoman who worked for a Nigerian-based church group was the intended target, but have not given a motive.
So we really don't know.
Her white SUV was seen being removed from the scene by authorities in the early hours of the morning.
This is where it gets important.
Duumfer ousted the sitting Democrat in the borough of Sayreville in November 2021 in a shock election win, and was not up for re-election until 2024.
Currently, there have been no arrests in the case, with Sayreville police and Middlesex County officials investigating the incident.
Friends of the Councilman paid tribute to her as an amazing friend who loved God.
Detective Juan Rodriguez and Pastor Dr. Neliot Rodriguez posted online saying, I just saw her this morning at the store.
I remember saying to her, I'll see you at the HRC meeting tomorrow, not knowing tonight was going to be the end of her life.
I can't stop crying.
She was 30 years young and full of life.
You will be missed, my dear precious friend.
Dwumfer was a certified business analyst and scrum professional for Fire Congress Fellowship, Inc.
and a part-time EMT.
So we have what seems to be the pinnacle, the vision Of a good American citizen and leader.
And man, is this absolutely brutal.
This woman is a part-time EMT, councilwoman, church-going.
Why would someone kill her?
Now look, we can play true crime all we want.
Maybe it was a facade.
I don't think so.
I think it's as simple as that.
It's Occam's razor.
That's just it.
The simple solution This woman was killed.
She was a good person.
She was a part-time EMT?
City Councilwoman?
I mean, wow.
So what could it have been?
And this is why I lean towards maybe political.
They point out that it was a shock election that she ousted the Democrat.
Could it be that these people are deranged?
I'll say it again, and I'm trying not to get into it.
I can agree.
Actually, I'll put it this way, without bringing up Hassan again, because we'll give you a shout-out to Hassan in the next segment at 1pm.
There was this post that said, if you are on the left, you can disagree with leftist economic positions and no one cares.
But you cannot disagree with the ideological stuff, the gender theory, the race theory.
And that explains what the left really is.
And that's a good point.
You also can't disagree with U.S.
foreign wars, which is the weirdest thing.
Neocoms?
I'm gonna call them that.
Neocom.
Neocommunists.
That's what they are.
They claim to hate capitalism and want socialism or something, but they also are in favor of the U.S.
spending money on foreign intervention and war.
Anyway, I'll hold my tongue on this.
This is a heartbreaking story, and I hope it's not political.
In a statement, Sayerville Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick said the community is shocked and saddened at the loss of Eunice Dwumfer, who was a dedicated member of our borough council, who was truly committed to serve all of our residents.
The fact that she was taken from us by a despicable criminal act makes this incident all the more horrifying.
She was the embodiment of Sayerville living the American dream, overcoming challenges with grit and smile, and always giving time and love to others.
She embodied Sayerville and will be terribly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
I do not want to assert that we know a motive that it was political.
Please understand that.
Maybe, maybe not.
We just don't know.
My personal opinion, it seems more likely, based on what we know, than unlikely.
I don't know enough about her life, her friends, her arguments, or whatever.
I would say that there's a strong possibility personal issues.
But considering we're at a point where this Republican guy, Solomon Pena, failed GOP candidate, is accused of shooting at Democrat officials' homes in Albuquerque, considering what we've seen over the past several years, I gotta say, looking at what's available to me, my immediate conclusion, or I should say, my hypothesis would be leaning towards political strife, political conflict.
We had Stephen Marsh on the show.
He's more of a liberal guy, he claims to be in the middle, but he really doesn't understand that he's not.
And I mean that with no disrespect, he just doesn't know things.
And this tends to be the case.
And then these people will come out and be like, you're not a centrist, you're on the right because you believe a thing.
And I'm like, Yeah, if the news reports a thing and then I fact-check it, that's not a conservative position.
Apparently it is now, I guess.
Knowing the truth is apparently right-wing.
Fine.
Whatever.
I digress.
He wrote, and he said, we are in civil strife already.
Civil strife is when there is a certain number of people being killed every year for political reasons.
So it's not civil war, but it is civil strife.
And maybe He's completely right.
Now, he wrote the book, The Next Civil War.
We have a copy here, and I think it was great that he came on and talked about this, because we agree on so much.
We disagree on the causes and who's at fault.
But, um, or, I don't know.
I'm not going to assert his position on this one.
We just disagree on these things.
But I think he's right.
At the very least, we may not be in civil war, we are in civil strife.
And I don't know how much longer we can last.
I want you to take a look at this photo.
For those that are watching.
I'll describe it for those listening.
A grand jury indicted Solomon Pena on 14 counts of shooting and firearms charges.
And here we see two police officers.
It appears one officer in uniform.
Another individual wearing armor, which appears to be an officer.
And they are leading away Solomon Pena in cuffs.
How long until these officers are on one of the ideological sides?
If not, they already are.
The Young Turks got all mad at me because I did a segment talking about the police in Memphis and how they lowered their standards, were dropping their standards, and it resulted in bad cops.
Cops who didn't care, cops who were ill-trained, and the conspiracy theory, which I don't agree, I don't believe is probably true, that they were gang members or something like that.
They got mad.
They said it was racist, that I would dare imply it.
Okay, I'll tell you where I think we go.
The culture war is expanding.
It is going to reach the highest levels and the lowest levels of our governments.
It will be in the hearts and minds of police officers, federal agents, and politicians.
Donald Trump is now campaigning on culture war issues.
I mean, good, he should.
But where does this lead us?
In my opinion, hyperpolarization, tribalism, civil strife, then becomes civil war.
People think, and it's the craziest thing, just please read history.
I am not a Civil War expert.
But I've watched, I've read a few academic papers, I've researched different, you know, surface-level battles and the generals, because I've been talking about it for quite a bit.
And there are certainly people who know everything about every little battle in the whole timeline, and it's really amazing, the overview.
I don't know all that.
What I can tell you is that talk of Civil War was happening in the United States as early as 1820.
This country was divided for decades.
The difference between now and then, information travels at lightning speed, quite literally, now, and it didn't back then.
We talked about this last night on Tim Cast IRL, the speed of knowledge, and watching shows like 1883, it's really crazy, I don't want to spoil it, but it's like there are people who are out in the middle of nowhere, pioneers, and there were just simple things they didn't know that we do, that as someone with, like, look, these are Hardened pioneers with grit, ripped guns, fighting animals, better at surviving than us.
And those of us who live in our comfortable little boxes have a layman knowledge of simple things that probably would aid us.
Now, getting into specifics in terms of this specific example, I won't.
I will just tell you simply this.
There was a time when people did not know how to make a wheel.
And they're dragging something, like a drag.
It's really hard, it takes a lot of energy.
And then one day some dude made a wheel and they were like, yo.
We've seen wheels.
We've not had someone come to us and say, I'd like to break down how a wheel works, you know?
I mean, I'm sure physicists go through that, but for the average person, you see a wheel work, you know.
You get dropped off, and you go back in time.
Tell you what, you go back in time.
I'll tell you this, I don't even know how to make gunpowder, but I was reading an article that talked about bat crap or something, and I'm like, man.
Could probably just read an article in the news, pick up a factoid that means nothing to you, and then you go back in time, and all of a sudden it's like you have this profound knowledge.
That's how we take this, what seems to be trivial, we call it trivial.
Trivia!
Take it for granted.
Here's my point.
You go back in time to the 1820s and information travels slow.
So a political event happens in this part of the country and it takes three months for that information to travel to this part of the country.
Probably why it took 20 some odd years, 40 years, for it to really start heating up and turning into a full-on war.
What I'm worried about today is that information is—this Republican councilman is dead.
And the story is breaking this morning, and you are getting this information within hours of it occurring.
In fact, for those of you that are reading the websites, you're already hearing about it, and you're coming to me for my opinion on it.
What that says to me is that the speed of information, The escalation travels much faster, and it is possible that we head towards a civil war much sooner than it took the previous civil war to begin.
In this University of Chicago podcast, They talk about whether we're headed towards a civil war.
And I'm not going to read through everything.
I will point out that I think it's kind of funny.
Let me read.
William Howell, a University of Chicago professor and director of the Center for Effective Government, has been thinking about these questions along with political scientists across the country.
Howell explains why claims of another civil war are over-exaggerated.
Hal explains why claims of another civil war are over-exaggerated and instead offer some correctives.
Correctives, he says, things that we can come together on.
I think he makes some interesting points about, you know, I guess what is potentially a white pill in this regards, but I disagree in some regards.
And I also think he is talking about why we may actually be headed towards a civil war.
It's interesting how it's framed.
I want to give a shout out to Paul Rand.
I thought that was funny.
Paul Rand, not Rand Paul.
And they have the transcript here, but I want to read a few sections that I think are interesting.
William Howell says, I think we need to be clear about what we mean by polarization and exactly who we're talking about when we say we're becoming more polarized.
There's a lot of work done in political science trying to characterize the level of disagreements among elected officials at the state level, at the federal level, and most of the evidence points towards that being so.
The Republicans are significantly more conservative than they were in 1970, and Democrats are somewhat more liberal on average.
But that's among elected official.
It's a different story when you talk about the mass public average citizens and the extent to which they have polarized.
Whether or not people on the ground have polarized and there, the evidence isn't anywhere near so clear.
Near so clear?
Well, my argument would be they're more polarized.
Here's my view.
One, I think he's wrong.
Conservatives are not more conservative than they were in the 1970s.
That makes no sense.
Or maybe he's right, but in my lifetime, Republicans have become more moderate.
Donald Trump supported gay marriage.
Sorry.
They've walked back even on issues of abortion towards compromise.
I had this conversation with Steven Crowder.
He said, how about some reasonable restrictions?
And I'm like, that sounds pro-choice to me.
So, no.
You can't make that claim to me.
That doesn't make any sense.
Maybe in the 70s, maybe in the 70s, but in the 90s and the 2000s, we had, I don't know, Republicans are much more moderate these days.
As for the average person, here's what I see.
I see the average American is probably what we would call default left.
I think default liberal.
That's what Andrew Breitbart referred to them as.
They're regular people, they watch the news, and the news feeds them the narrative.
Then you have conservatives who tend to know a bit more.
And I'll get into this in the 1 p.m.
segment when I respond to Hasan Piker's response to my response to his response—no joke!
Mr. Bisto's video, Hasan Piker responds to it, I respond to him, he responds to me, and I'm gonna respond to him.
Layers upon layers of conversation.
Hasan, just come on the show!
Anyway.
My point is, they don't know what they're talking about.
And I'm not saying they're being mean.
They literally don't.
You know, I can make a point about some fact, like when the Krasensteins come on the show and I say, the Qatar-Turkey pipeline, I mean, I've been tracking this stuff since 2009.
You got the story from 2012 about how the CIA wanted to run a pipeline through Turkey into Europe.
Syria says, no, we support Russia.
The U.S.
says, You know, we're going to oppose the Assad regime.
The city falls into civil war.
We're there supporting the, you know, basically the terrorists.
The U.S.
is basically lending support to what becomes ISIS.
When Donald Trump comes in, he crushes ISIS.
It's no wonder that Russia didn't want to invade Ukraine.
And they say Trump was helping Russia.
By what?
Getting rid of terrorists?
Anyway.
The Kresensteins didn't know anything about this.
So, of course, they're liberals.
And then they're told by their proselytizers, priests, and demagogues of MSNBC that the people who actually know what's going on are the bad guys.
This is an untenable situation, and it's why I think civil war is the only outcome.
You have mindless NPC zombies screaming, you're a Nazi!
And you're like, did you even Google this?
Did you even try to understand?
No, they don't.
And that's the problem.
So here's what I see.
People who probably could be convinced if they're willing to listen, but they're not.
Because they're in a cult.
Because they won't even read the stories.
When I tweeted to Hassan, I made a video agreeing with you and you still come out against my position.
It makes no sense.
It makes no sense deriding me.
And when I posted the article backing up my claims, his fans outright said, we will not read that.
It's a cult.
Y'all are in a cult.
That's what a cult is.
You send me an article from anywhere, MSNBC, I'm gonna read it.
You send me a video from MMC, I'm gonna watch it.
I did a commentary on an MSNBC video just the other day, giving my thoughts and opinions on it.
They won't.
They don't.
They don't know what they're talking about.
This is why I think civil war is likely.
You cannot have a violent mob of people, or I should say, any mob of people, Who plug their ears and cover their eyes and say, I will not!
When you beg them to research.
They won't do it.
They won't do it!
And so they march around angry, demanding blood, and there is no satiating a mob that does not want the truth.
You can beg them.
Please, just read one article.
And then argue against it if you don't think it's true.
They won't.
They don't do that.
That's why I think this is the direction we're headed.
So when I see a story about a council, a Republican, being targeted and murdered, and she is like the pinnacle of good citizen, city council member, Republican who ousted in a shock election the Democrat, part-time EMT, churchgoer, I'm like, this seems like a really good person.
Who would kill this person?
Political extremists?
Far-left zealots who have been lied to and are mindless.
Mindless zealotry.
That could be me as a hammer thinking everything's a nail.
Fair point.
I try to respect that and maybe it's just completely wrong.
It's surprising to me that these people don't do the research and think they're so right.
For this individual to say that conservatives are more conservative than they were, it's like, okay, fine.
Talk about politicians, perhaps.
And then he says, for the regular people, it's not so clear.
It's like, well, because I think you guys are living in an ivory tower and you don't actually do the research, you don't know this.
You're a tweed sweater, patches on the elbows jacket kind of guy, living in a bubble, who watches MSNBC and CNN, and you're confused to what the American people actually think and want.
And this is why when you go during the 2016 election, when you'd go out, you'd see Trump signs everywhere.
But if you watched the media, you'd say everybody hated him.
You'd think that.
You'd say it too.
And that's who these people are.
They're coming up and we can't really tell how people feel, and it's just like, CNN got 93,000 key demo viewers, MSNBC got 69,000, and Fox News got 179,000.
Now to be fair, Fox News is like the one conservative channel, so when you combine all of primetime cable, it's probably comparable, or slightly more, default liberals watching these programs.
But, Tim Cast, we get around like 150 in the key demo.
We're close to rivaling, if not beating, Fox News in the key demo.
I don't think it's so cut and dry.
I think these people don't pay attention, and they think they're smart, and they don't really know.
But we'll see.
It may very well be that this woman owed someone money or something.
You know, I don't want to speak ill of her, because I don't know.
She seems like a very, very good person.
And there's no motive yet.
But when I see a headline saying, Upstart Republican Councilman Targeted and Killed, Church Going EMT, and I'm like, I don't see, the motive I see initially is going to be political.
But maybe it's not.
Maybe it's not.
Maybe this thing's calmed down.
Certainly hope so.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment is coming up at 1pm on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
I think the simple solution to stupid videos like the one I'm about to make is Hasan Piker comes on the show, maybe like on a Friday, we cover all the costs, and he can just literally say anything he wants, and we will listen, and then I will tell—he can ask me questions, but I just—probably not going to happen.
So here's what we have.
We have—Hassan Piker, on his livestream, was talking about Mr. Beast curing blindness.
Many people—it was Dick Certo, I called him Dick Certo.
Dick Certo said that he's raging against, you know, this Mr. Beast video.
People then began to criticize Hassan, so I responded to his video saying, he's right!
Why are we spending all of this money overseas on foreign war?
Why are we spending money on gender studies programs in Pakistan and things like that?
When you could spend a million bucks and cure blindness for people in the United States, or anywhere in the world for that matter.
You know, I'm kind of like, how about no gender studies program in Pakistan that costs 10 million bucks and you just cure blindness for as many people as possible?
Hassan then responded to my video responding to his video, and it's a bit silly, but I do think it's more than just drama.
This is an example, in my opinion, of the impossibility of breaching tribal lines.
And it's why I think—I don't think Hassan is necessarily a grifter.
I wouldn't say that.
He actually complimented me on more than one occasion.
And in the video he says, Tim Pool's right about this, he's right about this, he's wrong about this.
Then he claims it's some kind of grift.
He says, I'm trying to get his viewers or something like that.
All of his comments then go off and say that, how could alt-right Tim Pool or whatever agree with these positions?
And this is the problem.
The problem is, low information liberals who don't know what they're talking about, but getting angry about things, and not just researching it.
It's about people who view everything so harshly through a tribal lens, that even when I make a video saying, the most prominent leftist streamer, and one of the most prominent streamers in general, is correct on his take, and here's why I agree with him, they still make, hit pieces against me, insult me, mock my appearance, and attack me.
It's almost like there are people who don't want there to be any kind of compromise.
The other funny thing is, in the video I outright say, I got excited for some kind of New Deal program that would reinvest in American infrastructure and bring back jobs and energy independence, and then it turned into free college for people of color, which is something totally different, and they attack me for it!
So, seeing this video response yesterday, it's funny.
The original title from Hasan Abi Productions, I don't think that's associated with Hasan.
He said it was like a fan account or something.
It said, Tim Pool calls out Hasan Abi.
Calls him out.
Literally, the whole video is me defending him, and then giving my position.
In not a single moment did I insult or deride him, and this is what grinds my gears.
It's like they don't want there to be solutions.
So let me slow down.
For those that aren't familiar, Hasan Piker, most prominent leftist political commentator, I would say, fair point.
He gets like 40, 50k or more people watching his daily live streams, and he took a video of me Talking about why I agree with him, responded to it, and it was, yeah, you know, in the first four minutes, Tim Poole's right, but then we insult and deride him, and in the end, it makes it seem like I'm trying to just steal his fans.
I think it's the weirdest thing ever.
Like, you're saying that I'm right-wing, far-right, alt-right, whatever that is, pretending to be centrist, but that I want to agree with Hasan's viewers to poach them.
Would that not mean a good thing for you?
Here's ultimately what the point of this segment is.
Kind of, I thought it was funny to respond to a response that was a response to a response.
I thought, just to be fair, that's kind of funny.
But look, if I actually come forward and say, I have complaints, I have concerns, and I have solutions, and I have issues, and the only thing we get from the left is a refusal to have the conversation, Hasan won't come on the show, I get it, he hosts his own show.
I'm not dragging him for being busy.
But other prominent leftists don't come on the show either.
They just outright refuse to, and the only ones who do are, like, the griftiest of grifters.
That's why I want Hassan to come on the show.
I think Hassan genuinely believes what he's saying, for the most part.
I think it is a bit silly that, like, instead of just saying, look, me and Tim Pool can have our differences, but if we agree on this thing, let's figure out how we implement it, he does just pander to his tribal audience.
That I'm not a fan of.
That's why I say, why don't you come here and we'll talk about it.
But here's what I really wanna get to.
One, I wanna break down the arguments made in his video and directly respond to him, because we don't actually get a chance to have that conversation in person.
Again, he's a busy guy, he lives on the other side of the country, he hosts his own show, I'm not taking issue with that.
When we were gonna have him on the show and he said he'd come on, he said, hey, I've got concerns about COVID and travel, plus I do my own thing, and I said, okay, fair point, you know, no beef.
Like, you don't owe me anything, bro.
Other people, the griftiest of grifters, were like, yeah, I'll come on the show, and then privately were like, dude, I'm not doing your show.
And I'm like, oh, okay.
Alright, fine, whatever.
Here's what I want to ultimately get to.
The Young Turks.
And my issue with them.
The Young Turks make fake videos.
They make fake news.
That's what they do.
Just outright fabrications.
Here's one.
Bonus episode.
Tim Pool mourns ability to harass women in the workplace.
Quite literally, they play a clip of me explaining that men and women have different expectations and that men should not be harassing women in the workplace.
What do they do?
They make the video.
They get 78,000 views claiming my real view was that we should be able to.
Quite literally, I made a video where I said, you can compliment a guy's suit, no one gets worried about that, but you can't be talking about women and their bodies and working out because that's when you'll get written up and someone will be like, hey, you can't do that anymore.
Not to mention, they say, it doesn't even qualify as sexual harassment, but they title it, quote, I miss being able to sexually, they just make up fake things.
Then you have this.
This is what we have to deal with.
If we want to solve the world's problems, we're trying to cut through the low-tier, tribal fake news that is the Young Turks.
Quite literally, no.
That's a stretch.
Nichols murder on critics of police?
Quite literally, no.
That's a stretch.
I was reading an article from Post Millennial, which is cited multiple times, that the Memphis
PD dramatically lowered its standards before hiring the officers charged in Tyree Nichols
And I said, this is the result of defund the police.
You take away funding from police, the standards drop.
You get bad cops.
We need better training for these cops.
Or you can get rid of them, whatever, you live there, not me.
And they call me brained, dead, and racist.
This is what we're dealing with.
Not an argument.
They don't actually argue my positions or anything like that.
It's quite literally just to insult me.
So let me show you this video.
Where I do wanna- I guess I'll play it.
I think it's kind of funny that at one point Hasan gets up and goes to the bathroom and literally just like plays my video.
But I'll play a bit of it.
And let's talk about this.
So, Mr. Beast, not positive.
Not positive.
I'm not trying to rag on the... Actually, look at this.
Someone commented.
You can sort of see it.
It says, as a former Tim Pool fan, I've been a lurker here.
You've done a lot to bring me out of the alt ad break pipeline.
That's a fake comment.
It's a fake comment because, let me show you some of this stuff.
First of all, look at the picture they use.
Me complaining about the government or whatever from, like, this is a picture from two years ago or something.
And then Hassan looking all calm.
They claimed I was calling him out.
This is what we have to deal with in the fake news world.
And I'll go to the comments.
Wait, did he say he wanted a New Deal-like program since when does Tim Pool agree with socialist FDR?
And I said, like, in every video I've ever made about it.
LOL.
WTF.
All right.
That's my point.
All of these comments come out.
Anybody who claims that they're a fan of mine and that they were broken out of some alt-right pipeline is lying.
Because anybody who watches my videos knows that in 2018, before the Green New Deal was announced, I said, this is great.
Let's reinvest in American energy infrastructure.
I don't care if green or otherwise.
And let's become energy independent so we're not dependent on foreign oil.
That is what gets us away from these wars and things like that.
Then the Green New Deal actually came out.
It was a resolution.
And it said, like, free college for marginalized people of color and free healthcare.
And I said, I don't know how this fixes the road and brings jobs like the New Deal did.
And I've always had that position.
Now look, for my libertarian and Ancamp friends, we often disagree on this stuff.
Taxationist stuff, they say, and I laugh, and I'm like, yeah, I do think the U.S.—you can make the argument because what are they doing?
They're using printing of money and quantitative easing and things like that, generating currency for themselves, which they use to fund wars overseas.
Now, what really trips me up about this, and I gotta skip to the part where it's just him playing my video, and then get to the part where he talks about my stance on Ukraine.
Here we go.
And a lot of people are ragging on Hassan.
unidentified
They're like, oh, this is a wild, wild circumstance.
Now, I don't completely agree with Hassan's politics on this one.
Look at the people saying, what is happening right now?
I'll tell you, I'll tell you, for those that are, you know, it's a little wild, this segment, I gotta understand, normally I'm like reading stuff, but I think this really does matter.
Hassan is shocked to find that we actually agree on a lot of things.
These people have convinced themselves through grifters like the Young Turks, and I know they're related to Hassan, but I don't associate Hassan with the fake news that the Young Turks are making.
They see those fake clips, and then they think, that's what I am, and they're making things up.
I've always been like, hey, how about instead of spending money on foreign wars, we fix the pipes in Flint?
Since the whole Flint thing was happening, I was like, can we just do this?
Is there not a single philanthropist?
Is there not a single government entity or federal agency that can just say, we're writing the check, let's fix this stuff and stop having kids get lead poisoning and have their brains be damaged?
Can we stop sending money overseas into foreign wars?
I don't care what the foreign war is.
Yet for some reason, They have to hate me even when we agree.
It's because I think they're grifters.
See, I don't make videos coming out and being like, haha, everybody's mad at Hasan Piker so I'll be too.
I'm like, I listened to what he says, he's right.
Now, of course, he's a socialist and he says Tim Pool still has to defend capitalism.
Totally accept that point.
Hassan, you're a socialist.
I'm a capitalist.
Totally agree.
We disagree on that point.
But I'm actually a traditional liberal in which I agree with social programs so long as we can clean them up.
And I think that's like a fair position where someone who wants some kind of capitalist system with social programs should be working with someone like Hassan to be like, let's make sure there's no corruption.
And they're not stealing resources for the wealthiest individuals, for the massive corporations.
We're guaranteed no-bid contracts and things like that.
And the money actually, I don't know, cures blindness.
Because if we went around curing blindness, these people could work again.
That's good for the economy.
That's good for everybody.
But anyway, let's play some more.
You know, he says we've cut off access to that.
I don't view it that way.
I'm trying not to play my video, but it's him responding to me.
I'm watching so much of our money as American citizens be thrown all over the
unidentified
world for gender studies programs for bomb Yeah, I don't, this is, this stuff is like, oh Jesus, immediately, immediately it has to go to like, yeah dude, it's the gender studies that we're paying.
First of all, the gender studies element of like the State Department expenses is just PR.
It's PR for American liberals to feel like the American government's foreign policy isn't around death and destruction and the continuation of death and destruction at the behest of our military-industrial complex.
From the Foundation for Economic Education, how $10 million for gender programs in Pakistan got tied to a COVID relief bill.
I was making a direct reference to the U.S.
sending $10 million to Pakistan for gender studies, and we don't know why.
I'm not saying we spend $100 trillion on gender studies programs.
I think you guys are being willfully obtuse because your intention is just to hate me instead of actually understanding the argument.
Which is, how about that $10 million, which admittedly is a pittance compared to the $108 billion or whatever we sent to Ukraine.
But, like, that's my point.
Even $10 million could have cured all of these people's blindness, and that's what I would prefer.
Right now, we have MILF Manor, where a bunch of hot moms go and rub down young men, and it's ridiculous!
You want a reality show?
Let's do Mr. Beast!
Let's just, I just, give Mr. Beast more money to let him do more of this stuff.
I wish it wasn't that way.
I wish, considering we have a COVID relief bill, I'd prefer if that $10 million was, like, medical aid packages for people suffering from cataract blindness.
That's my point.
What are you ragging on about?
I agree with you!
And then he comes out and says, like, all the military-industrial complex is bad, but then when I go on to criticize spending money in Ukraine, billions of dollars in a country we have no business being in, Not only does he not explain why we're there, or why we should give $100 billion for this, even though it's funding no-bid contracts for Halliburton, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, all that stuff.
I mean, I'm saying that as... Let me put it this way.
I don't know if they're directly getting that money.
I'm saying that this is the kind of thing that results in the military-industrial complex being empowered.
But let's play more.
unidentified
That's it, okay?
I don't give a f*** that they're, like, trying to teach in Pakistani madrasas, uh, you know, they-them non-binary, uh, what that means, okay?
The Foundation for Economic Education, 92.5 out of 100 on NewsGuard, talking about how they're literally doing that.
And my point was, quite literally, $10 million is not a lot of money.
Why would we send it to Pakistan?
The argument—and I strongly encourage, Hasan, you and your fans read up on this—is that the U.S.
sends money as far and wide as possible so that people use it.
The argument being, if you go to someone and say, I will give you $10 million for makeup, whatever reason, they will then say to other people, I've got U.S.
dollars, will you accept it?
The other person then says, well, I guess so.
They're building confidence in the petrodollar so that around the world people keep using it.
This is because the United States doesn't produce exports.
For the most part, we culturally export things.
We make movies and pop and stuff like that.
But for the average country that isn't generating petrodollars, they have to produce more exports than they do imports.
They have to generate more to sell than they bring in.
It's an oversimplification, but the idea is, if a country wants to buy oil, they have to use U.S.
dollars.
So when we give them U.S.
dollars, we assure We insure our petrodollar system, which is a part of the military-industrial complex garbage.
If Pakistan has no cash, and China comes in and says, we'll give you one, they say, I guess we're buying from China.
So we go in and say, we'll give you cash, and say, I guess we're buying from the U.S.
When someone else comes to them and says, you know, will you hire us?
They say, we only pay in U.S.
dollars, that's what we got.
It guarantees everybody keeps trading in that currency.
I strongly recommend y'all Hassan fans look into that stuff.
You know, when I'm looking at this, I'm like, not only have I been to Ukraine on multiple occasions and covered the Euromaidan protests, got to personally experience the toppled statue, Hasan is a dude sitting in his room laughing, having no idea what's going on.
I'm not saying that to disrespect Hasan.
I'm making a point of fact.
All right?
I'm saying, having been there, having talked to people, when I say my guys, I'm not referring to the country.
I said I have friends that are there, and I got to tell them, like, my guy, dude, we cannot Be policing your borders.
You're on your own, quite literally.
The only counter I have to that, even though it's my own argument, but I would say it's fair, the U.S.
did agree if Ukraine gave up its weapons, we would defend them in the event of aggression.
That I can respect.
If we have a treaty, we have a treaty.
If it meant nuclear disarmament in Ukraine and we had to come to their aid in the event of conflict, well, that's something we have to uphold.
But my position for the most part is just generally.
We spend $100 billion there, and it's escalating to the point of potentially World War III.
China is gearing up to advance on Taiwan, and it's going to be massive conflict.
Is this what we really want?
Hassan, do you know about the Qatar-Turkey pipeline?
Do you know about Gazprom?
Do you know why they built Nord Stream 2?
Do you know about Burisma, Mykola Zachevsky?
Do you know about any of this?
This is the struggle we are having.
I don't think you know about any of this stuff, so I don't fault you.
I just request that you read into it before just saying ha ha ha ha ha ha ha when I say we are wasting money in Ukraine.
The goal The argument, when it comes to Ukraine, is that the European Union needs natural gas at lower rates to expand its economic power so that, as a bloc, it can compete with China because China is growing too rapidly.
Now, that's the surface-level argument they make as to why we wanted to run a pipeline from Qatar through Syria, Turkey, into Ukraine, into Europe, to offset the Gazprom gas monopoly.
The purpose being, we can then force prices to drop.
But Syria, being an ally of Russia, said, no way!
We would not let that happen.
We have Russian military bases over here.
Tartus, for instance, the naval base.
So Syria said no.
When Syria then falls into civil war, the U.S.
goes on the side of ISIS.
Not quite literally.
It's a little bit more nuanced than that.
But the U.S.
begins supplying weapons to what we now call terror groups.
Ultimately, these groups merge to form ISIS.
Donald Trump comes in and crushes it.
The US, let's just not play games, is clearly opposed to Assad because we want to get cheap energy into Europe.
But Syria, Russia, Iran, they said we're going to tap a natural gas pipeline, the same one, run it through Iraq, Syria, Turkey, into Europe, and embolden and empower the Gazprom gas monopoly, cranking up the price for Europeans.
This is a, this is the, this is the conflict.
It's an energy conflict.
It is not being resolved.
Going to war in the Middle East, in Syria, Joe Biden going in there and saying the hundred billion, you know, the billion dollar loan guarantees, none of these things are actually solving anything.
It's leading to war.
If anything, we should be better negotiating with Russia.
And again, my knowledge on this is surface level because I don't have access to classified information.
And saying, what can we do to make sure China does not become the dominant economic power that then causes problems for the rest of the world?
They're doing oil exploration and colonization in South America and in Africa.
So I read all of these things.
And Hassan doesn't.
And then his fans start laughing, saying I'm stupid.
What's your argument?
This is neo-communism.
It is economic communism with neocon foreign policy.
Because there is no leftist, legitimately leftist, argument for going to war in Ukraine.
None.
You wanna come and tell me that we should have universal healthcare?
I say, agreed.
I think universal, and I've long maintained this, but these people don't watch any of my videos, universal basic healthcare.
Meaning, cataract surgeries, 10 minute procedure, costs sometimes around $2,000, upwards of $6,000 depending on the person.
Hey, I think that's the kind of thing, if you break your arm, we set it, we give you that stuff.
If you've got the flu, we try and source Tamiflu for you, so you don't die.
But then, at a certain level, you get extremely complex procedures that cost millions of dollars, and that's where we need something more supplemental that our system can't afford.
They talk about how universal healthcare would cost trillions of dollars, and I'm like...
Maybe we need a public option for basic level healthcare and then a private option for people who have more complicated issues.
Most countries that the left wants to tout do this.
Bernie Sanders, however, said abolish private healthcare outright.
And I'm like, nah.
People have a right to a choice.
I just think I like the idea of a system where You are poor.
You can't see.
We will fix your eyes for you.
Why?
Because then you work, and when you work, you pay taxes.
I think it's a net economic advantage.
If it's going to cost $2,000 to fix someone's eyesight, and that investment will net the tax base, you know, $4,000, $5,000 over the next couple of years, that is an investment totally worth making.
But even outside of the idea of an investment, I personally have no issue with the U.S.
being like, we're going to shift spending here and put it towards curing people's eyesight.
I'm like, okay, you know, I kind of like that idea.
But these people...
I think they're mostly young.
I think they're mostly inexperienced.
They're angry.
But they get off on being morally right.
So they don't know what they're talking about.
And Hassan just laughs.
He laughs at the idea that we would not be spending a hundred billion dollars in Ukraine.
But he's not made an argument, at least here, for it.
Now, I don't watch Hasan's live streams.
I watch some of his videos, and I try to critically assess them.
Hence, when he says, the Mr. Beast video fills me with rage, I'm like, bro's right.
And it's not the first time I've said he's right.
But here's the problem we're facing, and here's why I really, really wanted to make this segment.
Well, I will admit, it's funny seeing the recursive loop of my face, his face, his face, my face, et cetera.
But I wanted to make this video to point out, how are we gonna solve these problems, Hasan?
How do we solve these problems?
If I can come out and be like, I agree, I think we're wasting money here, and instead of actually addressing it to your fans to explain why I'm wrong, you just laugh.
That's all you did.
Is there a comment you can say to explain to your fans, 38,000 people, why I'm wrong about that?
I'm willing to be wrong about it.
Give me the reason.
Absolutely.
Tell me right now.
I want to know.
Why should we spend $100 billion in Ukraine?
For real?
Is it because Russia's an aggressive force invading this country and oppressing its people?
OK, well, you know, I think that's a bad thing, too.
Are we going to go then spend $100 billion in Sudan?
I mean, we do spend a lot there.
Should we go do that?
Should we go spend $100 billion in Kenya and Nigeria?
What about Eritrea?
I mean, that government's really oppressive, too.
Should we spend $100 billion engaging in war, bolstering the forces in India so that they can go to war with China because China's running concentration camps?
These are questions I have.
And so long as the answer is, we ignore all of the world's problems because of the oppressive dictator's attacks, but Ukraine is the one place we're at, I simply ask you look into why we're spending the money.
It's an investment the United States is making to gain political power in Ukraine so that we can offset Russia's power within the energy sector.
And I think that's stupid and not worth risking if it means Russia, at war in a border country, is going to fire nuclear weapons, considering we are not a border country with Ukraine.
But, you know, anyway, I think I made my point, I guess.
He mostly then just, you know, he still agreed with me and stuff like this, but people are like, oh, it's weird because people, some of them are agreeing with me.
Sorry, bro, sucks.
Damn, that's cold, Tim.
You come to me and tell me why we're not at war with China over the Uyghur concentration camps.
In the same breath, tell me why we should be at war in Ukraine over what Russia's doing.
Because what Russia is doing is a border conflict war.
What China is doing is locking people, because of their religious or ethnic background, in prisons, and then having Han Chinese come and rape the women and force abortions on them when they get pregnant.
That's what they're doing.
10 years the hunter Biden laptop review come on. Let's get some more points on a long time, okay?
unidentified
This is taking a very weird what he went from You know we can't pay for
That's the messed up thing.
is not paying for cataract surgeries because it's too busy paying for gender studies in Ukraine to
like Hunter Biden. I literally never said that. That's that's that's the messed up thing. And I
have to wonder, Hasan, are you intentionally trying to mislead your audience? We are paying
for gender studies specifically in Pakistan.
It was a scandal that happened.
You need only Google search it.
When I tweeted at Hassan, like, look at the story, his fans literally said, we will not read that.
And I say, OK.
I never said anything about gender studies in Ukraine.
I said, we spent $100 billion on war in Ukraine.
Now he's saying I took a weird turn?
What weird turn?
I'm saying outright that the United States is wasting your money, our money, on nonsense garbage from the small amounts, $10 million in Pakistan, to the large amounts, $100 billion in Ukraine.
You can simply Google these things and make an argument against me.
And he's just disagreeing me for what reason?
Because that's what he has to do.
I wrote a song.
I wrote a handful of songs.
All three we've released have charted on Billboard.
How about that?
Hassan did a response to Will of the People, and it was funny to see his fans saying they liked the song and were sad to find out it came from me.
Yo, you guys, this is cult-like behavior.
If you like a song, you like a song.
I like the Marvel movies, pop culture reference, haha, but I think Chris Evans has weird politics and he's very aggressive, and Mark Ruffalo is kind of off the rails.
You might like both.
I like the art, don't care for the artist.
You can do that.
It is strange to me that I can come out and be like, oh, I agree with this guy.
Yeah, he's totally right about this.
And the response video they make is, he's weird, he's wrong, pimp tool is a dim fool, etc, etc.
So, you know what?
This is the problem we face in this country.
The Young Turks make fake videos about me.
They all will use all... Look at this.
Look how thin and fit I've gotten.
And then look at this old photo where I'm chubbier and angrier, and they use it, and that clip is not from this video.
I'm wearing different clothes.
I'm thinner.
I'm agreeing with the guy, and they still try to make me look bad.
Sorry, bro.
We're not going to solve any problems.
We're not going to actually make the world a better place if your response to my agreeing with you is not to find where we agree and then work on it, but to deride me for things you don't know.
So I can say this.
Hassan doesn't know what's going on in Ukraine.
He has no war experience, no conflict experience, no journalistic experience.
He's a commentator.
I have no issue with that.
However, I request humbly that instead of just laughing at the idea and saying this is weird and saying it's propaganda and telling his fans that I said something I didn't say, you simply address my points, point by point, Tell me why I'm wrong, and then, at the very least, you can say, however, if Tim Pool agrees we should spend money on cataract surgery to cure people, let's figure out how we do that.
Because I'm down for that.
I will come out and say, hey, I'd like universal basic health care.
Like, you break your arm, you go to the doctor.
You get sick, you go to the doctor.
You get like advanced stage 4 lymphoma, we're going to have a conversation on how expensive that gets because someone has to do that labor and it's arduous and intensive.
I'd love it if it was free.
But let's not ignore the important factors in the challenges of universal health care in that doctors get paid money to go to school for a long time so that they can get rewards from it.
If it takes someone 10 years to become an expert in a field, we have to spend the money on that education.
How do we make sure these people are incentivized and rewarded?
We can't force them to do it.
You find a solution for that?
I'm on board, 100%.
I'm just saying, that's a problem in front of us.
Offer me a solution and I will shake your hand and say, let's roll, baby.
But I've not heard an answer to that problem.
That's why I say universal basic health care.
Can Homeboy and his fans just simply be like, you know, we actually agree with Tim Poole on this one?
This is why I'm not interested in, or I should say, this is why I feel Like, there is no path forward in this country.
Because this morning I'm talking about a Republican getting shot and killed.
I'm talking about another Republican who is trying to hire people and go shoot at Democrats.
We've got burgeoning political crisis and it is fueled exactly by this.
Anyway, you know what?
This has been a long video.
It's been fun.
I'm gonna leave it there.
You get my point.
The Young Turks make fake videos about me all the time.
They take things I never said or quotes from me from other people, quotes from other people that I've said, and they make it seem like I said them.
They do things where, like, I'll be like, you see this story?
In this story, they said, crime is a problem of defunding the police.
And then, you know, when I come out, they take that and they say, look what Tim Poole said.
He's an idiot.
You know what?
We're not solving the problem this way.
I don't care for any of this.
This is the hardest thing.
The hardest thing is knowing that the most prominent left-wing streamer does not take the time to actually do the research, and that there are large swaths of the American political base that don't know what he's talking about.
And it's just, it's a clown show.
I'm like, hey, we shouldn't spend $100 billion wasted in Ukraine, and he goes, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, and just starts laughing, and it's like, what is this?
Tweedle-dee-tweedle-dum, bro?
Come on, man.
Make your argument.
Explain to me why we are better off giving $100 billion in weaponry and funding to Ukraine instead of giving people medicine and healthcare.
How could it be that I say, let's give $100 billion in universal healthcare to the American people, not war, and you laugh at me for it?
There's no solution when that's your position, bro.
Whatever, man, I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 4 p.m.
over at youtube.com slash TimCast, where I will talk about the day's news and events and give you my thoughts, as per usual.
Thanks for hanging out, everybody, and I'll see you all then.
My my, if it isn't the real world consequences of all those gym ladies clout chasing.
So says Lauren Chen in a tweet showing a video of a young woman trying to squat some hefty weights and being unable to do so.
And then when she gets pinned down and needs help because she has no spotter, none of the men will come and help and then ultimately it's a woman who comes And helps her lift these weights.
I'll play the video for you in a second, but for those that are not understanding the full context here, we had this story a while ago.
This is last month, or it's only a few weeks ago, actually.
Viral TikTok shows women getting upset about feral man glancing at her in the gym, but many accuse her of seeking attention.
This chick, who apparently has, like, an OnlyFans, is mad because she's filming herself do hip thrusts with the weight, and the guy every so often looks over, like, and then eventually is like, you need any help putting those back?
And she's like, no, hot widow.
She doesn't literally say that.
But in the video, she basically does with text, like, these feral men are staring at me at the gym as I'm doing something weird.
Look, the first thing I'll say is, don't be creepy.
You know, don't be creepy to women.
You know what I mean?
Like, if a woman's working out, just let her work out.
The other thing I'll say to women is, yeah, a guy might look at you.
I don't know, if he's not bothering you, dudes look at women.
Is that like a new thing?
The other thing is, this chick's filming herself, and the guy may be like, I wonder what she's doing.
Like, he's looking at her filming herself, like, what is this?
And she's mad that he looked at her.
Well, I'll tell you what the real world consequences are.
I have done a couple segments over the past few years about how men are refusing to help women and children.
And, you know, the funny thing is they always do really well.
And I think there's something, I don't know, primal about the feeling men get seeing these stories.
There's a combination of disdain, like it's sad that this has become our society, and also kind of, I don't know, schadenfreude, definitely, and catharsis.
I'm sure there's a lot of dudes who watched this video of a woman wearing skin-tight pants where you can see her butt crack, struggling to lift a weight, and then when she asks for help, no one listens and no one cares.
Now, I will say this though.
I don't know this woman.
I don't know that she's done anything to anybody.
I don't know that she's the kind of person who would yell at a guy for looking at her.
She, we should not be mad at her because some other chick did this thing or other women have complained about men in the gym.
I certainly think men in gyms can be creepy.
I certainly think women have a right to be upset if a dude's being creepy.
And that woman who was like, oh my god, the guy's looking at me.
It's like, yeah, dude, calm down.
I am not going to rag on this woman as an individual because I see her doing nothing wrong in this video other than wearing, you know, like ridiculously skin-tight pants.
Maybe she's comfortable in them.
That's totally her thing.
I mean, it actually looks like she might not be wearing pants at all, but I'm pretty sure she's wearing just like skin-tight leggings.
Socks going up all I see here is a woman who lifted too much couldn't squat it and then Squat lift or whatever.
It's called and then nobody would help her.
So this is not a criticism of her It's an it's a it's a discussion on the real-world consequences of all the clout chasing Let me let me play for you this video and it's kind of sad.
It's kind of sad So she's trying to squat.
I don't I don't know.
What is that?
It's like 80 pounds or something I can't tell.
Oh, she actually does.
She does.
She gets it.
She's going for it again.
And then I think... And now she can't.
Uh-oh.
Nope.
Can't get it.
And, uh, like, really, that's it.
There's, like, two guys over here.
And you'll see her.
She just, like, looks over.
Excuse me.
Nope.
Ain't looking.
Not falling for it.
Not falling for it, dude.
Excuse me.
No, I don't blame these guys.
I'm not falling for it either, okay?
I'm not falling for it.
Look, I'm gonna mind my own business, I'm not gonna look, I'm gonna do my thing, because the last thing anybody wants is for one of these women who are clout chasing to film you, and then the real reason they're saying excuse me is because they're gonna complain about something you did.
It's unfortunate.
And then what ends up happening is she sits there, she says, excuse me, oh my goodness, and then some woman just starts lifting and like ignoring her, People are walking past.
Nobody's helping her.
And then finally, here, let's play the last part of it.
20 seconds.
She says, hey.
And then this woman puts the weight back.
I think she then asks, can you help me?
You think you can help me out over here?
Yeah, yeah.
And then another woman comes over and lifts and they put it back and she's good.
I want to make sure I stress this point.
This woman lifting this weight did nothing wrong.
I mean, the only thing she did wrong was she lifted too much.
And she didn't have a spotter.
I'm not a gym kind of person.
I don't know the proper techniques for all this stuff.
I skate.
That's my thing.
And she lifted more than she could.
She needed help.
Nobody was there to spot her.
Maybe you should have someone.
Some people have suggested she could have just thrown it off her back and dropped it.
And maybe the right thing was just to ask for help.
She wasn't being crushed or anything.
She just didn't have the strength to lift it back up.
I want to stress.
I feel bad for this woman.
Men, women, anybody should be rushing over and be like, do you need help?
The problem is a dude can't ask her if she needs help.
So this woman is sitting there squatting, saying, hey, excuse me, none of my business.
I'm not getting involved because y'all are filming this stuff.
And if I walk over and I say, excuse me, ma'am, you seem to be stuck.
Do you need a spotter?
And she goes, oh, how dare you, you feral creep?
That's what's happening.
Now look.
We had that one viral story.
And I'm not saying that's indicative of every single circumstance in a gym where a woman's filming, but when these videos go viral, and when you have toxic masculinity in the news, and when there's been nothing but attacks on masculinity for the past 10 years, I shouldn't say nothing, but I'm exaggerating, but you get my point, when it's persistent in the media, dudes are gonna be like, please just leave me alone, man.
I'm just trying to stretch my hamstring.
You know, this dude over here is sitting there clearly doing stretches, and she's yelling, and he's not having any of it.
Now, I think it's a fair point.
Maybe the dude just had earbuds in and no one heard them.
Because I think in most normal circumstances, the average person's gonna be like, sure, I'll help, I don't care.
But this is another story in line with a bunch of stories we've seen.
And I'm gonna bring it up again.
In Philadelphia, I think it was, a woman... A woman was attacked on a train by a guy who had his way with her while everyone watched.
That's crazy.
They just started filming.
And I have to talk about how, like, I'd probably just lose it.
I'd probably just see red if I saw that going on on a train.
Now, granted, I understand there's difficulties.
A guy could have a knife, a weapon.
You might not be able to actually do anything if some dude's got a gun because they make it so you can't have a gun and they can't.
Imagine if you were allowed to carry weapons to defend yourself and others.
They don't allow it.
They let criminals do it, and certainly anyone who's going to attack a woman on the train, any guy who's going to do that, probably got a weapon of some sort.
So now we're in this predicament where it's not just that men don't want to do it because they're cowards or anything, it's because they're like, dude, I'm disarmed.
I cannot help that woman.
That woman is disarmed.
She couldn't even help herself.
Hey, you want feminism?
Give that woman, I don't know, a 380.
Something small she can fit right in her pocket.
Give her the right to keep and bear arms and defend herself so that no man will pin her down on a train while everyone watches.
But they've taken that right from people.
And you know what?
This is what you typically get from Democrat politicians.
You get women saying, we're equal.
Fine.
I'm not going to help you lift weights.
Women say, we don't want guns.
Fine, you don't get it.
It's not just women saying that.
I'm not saying only women.
I'm saying it's a tendency among the Democratic Party to skew female.
Women overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
It really is the divide.
If you look at the maps, the United States, if you say, if only women voted, the whole country's blue.
If only men voted, only Oregon and Washington turned blue.
The whole country's red.
So if they want to keep voting for gun control, don't get mad if no one's going to come to your aid.
Not for me.
I'll go live in the middle of nowhere and have some chickens and mind my own business.
And out here in West Virginia, we got constitutional carry.
And you can be armed.
And good.
I think you should be.
I tweeted out an image.
I think it was Spike Cohen.
He said, how does this image make you feel?
And it's a woman in a grocery store and she's got a... I don't know what kind of gun.
Maybe it looks like a 1911 or a Desert Eagle or something.
A pistol in a holster.
And she's looking at bread.
And my response was, it makes me angry seeing this photo.
Now, there are guys who are like, the concern with women being armed is they get scared more easily, and will shoot you like you see a lady cop.
She'll panic and she might shoot you, and it's like, yeah, well, too bad.
The right to keep and bear arms in the Constitution does not say, The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless, of course, you're a scared woman.
Nope.
It doesn't say shall be infringed unless, of course, it's fully automatic.
Doesn't say it.
You should be able to have guns.
Anyway, off the gun subject and back to the chivalry subject.
This woman.
Was was lifting heavier weights and she was in serious trouble.
She could be injured.
She could break her back.
I saw one video where a guy was lifting and it was too much and then he threw it behind him and it bounced and hit him in the spine and actually like severed a nerve and he was like what the just happened like that's crazy.
I don't know if dropping heavy weights is the right thing to do.
Maybe this lady should have said, hey, can you spot me?
This is pretty heavy for me, I'm gonna give it a try.
Maybe she shouldn't have gone so heavy.
Maybe that was irresponsible.
That's the only thing I can say she did wrong.
You know, maybe she's a really nice person, but when you see these videos of these clout chasers ragging on dudes, for all we know, the guy was looking at her because he's like, that's heavy weight.
Like, if she gets in trouble, I mean, someone's gonna have to remember she got no spotter.
But these, it's such the epitome of arrogance.
These nasty, man, toxic femininity tenfold.
It's just, man, it's just, it's just ego, arrogance, and it's just the worst.
Clout chasing garbage.
Well, you get the society that you ask for, and you will reap what you have sown.
And here's a video of it.
Nothing bad happened to this woman, and I'm happy for it, happy for her.
I don't know who she is, and again, I'm not trying to say she did anything wrong, other than lifting too much weight without a spotter.
And I'm glad that someone came over and lifted it.
But you know, seeing this video right now, this is a warning.
If people are like, you can't talk to me, don't talk to me because you're a dude and you're feral, then what happens when a woman is seriously in trouble and she's trying to bench press or something and she's like, help, help, help, and everyone's like, I'm not getting involved, you go mind your own business.
I don't think we'll get to the point where someone would not rush to save a woman who might be choking or crushing her throat or something.
But there may be a point where she yells help or whatever and a guy comes to help her and then that guy gets in trouble.
Well, we'll see.
Anyway, I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up in a few minutes.
Stick around and I'll see you all shortly.
My favorite thing about socialism and anti-capitalism is the ability for you to gain power over your fellow man through hard work and meritocracy by creating a product that people are willing to give up their resources.
Wait a minute, that's capitalism!
That's not socialism!
Hey, Bernie, what's going on here, huh?
Critics blast Bernie Sanders for selling $95 tickets to his anti-capitalism event.
Brad Palumbo says, multi-millionaire Bernie Sanders is charging up to $95 per ticket to attend his upcoming anti-capitalism event, where he will be hawking his anti-capitalism book for $28.
You really can't make this ish up.
Alright, slow down there a minute, Brad.
I want to defend Bernie just a little bit before we get into the heart of this story.
We are not in a socialist system.
There is no mechanism by which the government would sign a piece of paper and say, we are going to print these books.
Bernie, if he wants the books to exist, has to pay for them and has to do work.
That being said, does Bernie need to sell the tickets for $95?
Okay.
You gotta hire the staff.
You gotta pay to open the doors.
Well then, how much can he sell them for without making a profit?
I'll tell you this, my friends.
We're doing an event.
We're doing an event in Austin, a 300-person capacity theater, and it's $60 at the high end and $40 at the low end.
And we are capitalists!
We're like, let's make money!
Now, granted, the ticket sales are breaking even.
The show sold out, by the way.
But we're breaking even on ticket sales, and it's more of a promotional thing.
We want to do it for fun.
We want to bring people together.
And then maybe we'll get some sponsors, which will help generate some revenue, essentially, offset the costs, and the ticket sales can effectively make some money for us.
But we're doing it to break even.
And we're the capitalists.
We're the ones who are like, let's do hard work and make money, and then we do things like this, break even sales.
I love it.
The book Bernie Sanders is putting out, you don't need to sell it for $28.
He can shave off some of that.
Look, you could sell a book for $10.
I know because we have a book, Tales from the Inverted World.
We put it out.
We got a second one coming soon.
We're just trying to negotiate, get it in bookstores and stuff.
It doesn't cost that much money.
So what's the deal, Bernie Sanders?
Now before I get these leftists and socialists being like, you know, look man, Bernie's allowed to make money, blah, blah, blah.
Oh, okay, the weak.
Bernie Sanders says you too can be a millionaire like him if you write a best-selling book.
April 9th, 2019.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yeah.
Where's his quote?
So let me read this.
This is funny.
In 2016, when President Trump's tax returns were more of a minor issue, only then-candidate Hillary Clinton seemed focused on getting the returns from the senator.
Opponents have since tried to compare Sanders to Trump, but he quickly differentiated himself as not being a billionaire, not having investments in Saudi Arabia, wherever he has investments all over the world.
The Times quickly pointed out he's a millionaire, to which he said, I wrote a best-selling book.
If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire too.
You wanna know what the best part about Bernie Sanders is?
The best part was he used to go, the millionaires and billionaires in this country.
And then, once he became a millionaire, he just started saying, the billionaires in this country.
Yo, Bernie, you made like $1 million.
You're gonna now stop calling out the millionaires who have $999 million?
That's a big leap from you to them, bro.
They got a thousand times the money you do.
They're not billionaires, but they're certainly way up there.
And honestly, if you have $999 million, it's probably because you're trying not to be a billionaire.
Because you could probably just buy property and then say, oh, the value's higher and now I'm a billionaire or whatever.
Bernie's a hypocrite.
That's the issue.
I used to be a big fan of Bernie.
You know why?
Economic populism.
unidentified
He was like, we gotta close the borders and bring back jobs to this country.
And I'm like, I like it, and he's like, we gotta have strong union protections for workers, and I'm like, okay, you know, I'm not the biggest fan of unions, to be honest, but the protections, like, let's talk, because I'm willing to compromise, you know, my experience, not your experience.
Can we make things better for the average American?
Can we get people healthcare?
Can we generally make things better?
Tell me how to do it, please, Bernie!
unidentified
And then Bernie was just like, Hillary Clinton wants me to do whatever she says, and I will.
And then he became like a neolib woke fake politician.
Bravo!
Bravo on that transformation, Bernie, from this long career where you defended the rights of people and these, you know, for decades, and then on a dime you turned around and went full neolib corporate democrat.
Bravo, good sir.
Yeah, yeah, even the World Socialist website referred to him as a nationalist capitalist.
Here we go, what's this event?
Tickets to the March 1st event titled, It's Okay To Be Angry About Capitalism, range from $35 a piece to $95 a piece on Ticketmaster.
Oh wow!
He's also doing variable pricing!
My guy!
You could just be like, cost.
Flat across the board.
Why are some people having to pay $95?
That doesn't seem fair.
Some people pay more than others?
Well that sounds like capitalism!
Sure.
The event is being held at the Anthem in Washington, D.C., a live music venue and auditorium that sits along the Potomac River's Washington Channel, considered to 6,000 people.
$3.6 million you're planning on making off this one?
Is my math wrong?
No, no, no.
I think I got it backwards.
Is it $360,000?
What am I doing?
So if it was $100,000, it would be $600,000.
Right, right.
Okay, I'm way off.
Way off.
Get me on that one, Media Matters or whatever.
So he's looking to make several hundred thousand dollars off of this.
That's amazing.
I don't know how many seats are being sold.
Let's just do this.
Let's slow down.
Let's slow down.
Because I know how events work, and I don't want to misrepresent this guy.
Not half the seats are going to be $95.
I bet it's going to be like 70% of them are going to be $35, then 20% are going to be $60, and then maybe 10% or less will be $95.
Fine.
Fair point.
Twenty percent are going to be 60 and then maybe 10 percent or less will be 95 bucks.
Fine.
Fair point.
Let's just say 50 bucks.
Fifty bucks.
And we're looking at we're looking at three hundred thousand dollars for this event.
Do you need to make all that money, Bernie?
Actually, I'm fairly certain it doesn't cost $300,000 to do an event of this size, because I used to work for venues.
It can probably cost upwards of $50,000 to $100,000, don't get me wrong, but he's looking at making a pretty penny.
Pretty penny.
I was thinking $1,000.
I did my math wrong.
Yeah, you know, blame me for that one.
I got my math wrong, but I corrected it pretty quickly.
Pretty quickly.
It won't matter.
They're still going to take the clips out of context.
Here we go.
What's this?
The event is Tyler Sanders' new book, which has been dubbed a progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires.
Wait, you mean like Bernie?
By groups helping run his March event in the nation's capital.
All that socialism means to me, to be very frank with you, is democracy with a small d. I believe in democracy, and by democracy I mean that to as a great extent possible, human beings have the right to control their own lives.
And that means that you cannot separate the political structure from the economic structure.
What does it even mean anything?
What are you talking about?
So if I make a birdhouse, let's talk about profit and capitalism.
The leftists, when they say capitalism, they mean corporatism.
So let's stop using different definitions.
I think the idea that people can freely choose to do work and then trade amongst each other is A-OK.
And if, you know, Ricky Joe makes a birdhouse, and he sells that birdhouse, gets a little extra on the top for himself, that's great, that's the fruits of his own labor.
What I don't like is corporatism.
When massive multinational corporations do very little work and do lobbying contracts, and other thing, no-bid contracts, so that they get guaranteed money from the taxpayer, that's more in line with socialism than it is with free market capitalism.
But I also think free market capitalism can run amok, and you end up with big corporations producing garbage and poisoning people.
And the utopian capitalist people are like, they wouldn't hurt their own, you know, base.
Dude.
They're selling you high fructose corn syrup and seed oils.
Why?
They don't have to.
Because they got the price point down, made more profit.
It's not perfect.
I like free market trade, but not completely in that direction.
And I also think centralized command economies just result in corporatism that the leftists are complaining about.
So Bernie Sanders coming out and giving us nonsense is nonsense.
This is the problem with the young leftists.
They don't know what they're talking about.
They're not defining things and they're not telling what the solutions are.
I'll put it simply.
Ain't no perfect solution.
Free market capitalism doesn't work in grand scale when you have Pfizer.
And centralized command economies like communism don't work because the government then gives money to Pfizer.
It is the coalescing of power.
It will always circle around government and corporations.
There's no separating the two.
If you go free, full, laissez-faire, you end up with Pfizer.
If you go full government control, you end up with Pfizer.
It's just a matter of who's pointing a gun at who, I suppose.
So I think there needs to be a little bit of a middle ground.
There needs to be the ability for businesses to grow and thrive, but the government's ability to say, hey, we're a watchdog, you can't do these things, but not run the economy like it's happening now.
Of course, the socialists would have it that they really, I love this one, I'll just put it this way.
The meme where they're like, once we achieve communism, what are you gonna do?
And someone's like, oh man, I think I'll teach people art on my farm.
And then someone was like, your farm?
These people don't get it.
They think that capitalists have stolen all the food and are refusing to give it to them.
That's just ridiculous.
You know, shout out to, again, Hassan, who I've been talking about.
He seems to think that we've paywalled surgery, like, just so that poor people can't get it, like it's Elysium or something.
Like, dude, people have to get paid for work.
But you want to live in a world where people don't get paid but have to work?
That's called slavery.
Now, if you're talking about taking money from other people and using it to fund these programs, okay, who's agreeing to give up their money?
Is it consent of the governed?
Yes or no?
Simple question.
If the answer is yes, I'm on board.
100%.
If you get the consent of the governed to say, we will have this, I'm totally on board for it. 100%.
Then, why don't you get the consent of the governed over sending $100 billion to Ukraine for war?
Because I'll tell you this.
If you went to the American people, and this is why I have this position, and said, we have $100 billion.
Should it go to war in Ukraine, or should we use it to cure blindness?
I guarantee you the American people are going to say, I don't cure the blindness.
Why are we at war?
So I say that to the leftists, man.
Give me those answers.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up in a few minutes.
Stick around, and I'll see you all shortly.
I don't know if you guys have seen this story out of New York where they're housing migrants in this luxury hotel and they're supposed to move them to Brooklyn.
But the migrants are like, but the shelter in Brooklyn is like hard beds and no luxuries.
We want to be in the luxury hotel.
And so now left-wing activists are demanding they let those migrants back in that luxury hotel.
You know, I saw this and I have a simple answer to all of you.
I'll tell you exactly what I would do.
If the government came to me and said you will do this thing, I would say no.
And if they said do it or else, I would say I will shut my business down before I agree to this and you run it.
I suppose the problem there is the government would probably be like, oh boy, okay, we'll seize your property without paying you.
Because, you know, that's what the government likes to do.
But my attitude is this.
You come to my business and make demands of me, I'll just shut it down.
There was a story a while ago about this, uh, encrypted email service.
I forgot what it was called.
But it was pertaining to the Edward Snowden story, and I guess the government issued a national security letter.
And they said, you need to turn over, you know, encryption keys or something like that.
And the owner was like, I ain't doing it.
And they're like, you can't tell anybody.
He's like, then I'm shutting my business down because you will not coerce me.
And I'm like, that's exactly how I feel.
You come to me and said, we want you to report this thing or talk about this thing.
I'd be like, no, well, you better do it.
Bro, I will go live down by the river before I start doing any of this stuff.
Now I guess the problem is, they'll just seize the hotel if the hotel doesn't agree to it.
Here's the story.
They say, a self-appointed spokesman for the migrants assembled outside of a hotel in Manhattan as they protest the efforts being made to move them to a converted ferry terminal is a long-time agitator with a history of left-wing activism going back to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Really.
On Tuesday, interviews and speeches from Sergio Tupac Azurin, 37, were broadcast on TV and on social media from outside the Watson Hotel.
The male migrants who had been living at the hotel are being moved to Brooklyn in order to make room for women and children.
At the Watson, according to city officials.
You kidding me?
It's not even like they're saying, we want rich people to stay here.
They're saying, we're going to give the room to women and children because they need it more.
And these guys are like, but I want luxury.
Talk about chivalry being dead, man.
Yuzurin made demands that included allowing the migrants to remain at the hotel or to be given million-dollar apartments for free.
Amazing.
His Instagram page is littered with his coverage of the protests for BLM and various other left-wing causes.
His activism dates back to 2012 when he was pictured at an Occupy Wall Street protest.
I don't know if—he seems kind of familiar.
I don't know if I remember seeing him at Occupy.
Occupy was 2011, by the way.
Yuzurin, a graduate of the public but notoriously difficult to get into Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, told ABC New York in an interview, the immediate resolution is that the Hotel Watson needs to accept these men back and put them back into their rooms.
Well, then where do the women and children go?
Where do you put the women and children?
They got this photo.
Yuzurin pictured in an Occupy Wall Street protest in 2012.
His activism goes back over 10 years.
Let me tell you about Occupy Wall Street, my friends, so you can understand these people better.
AstroTurf.
That's what it is.
AstroTurf.
Occupy Wall Street started semi-organically.
I say semi because there's always some kind of non-profit trying to squeeze its way in and get influence out of people.
But a lot of people were angry, decided to go down to Wall Street, protest.
It was a meme.
They couldn't get into Wall Street, it was barricaded off, so they settled on Zuccotti Park.
A month before Occupy Wall Street, a group of left-wing activists were holding meetings about how they were going to do the protest, so it had been planned long in advance.
This, I think, was always an affront to the more moderate individuals who showed up who did not know that leftists had shown up to try and take control of this meme before it even started.
But then, within a few months, more and more powerful interests started to take over.
You started to see more manufactured signs being handed out and things like this.
A real protest doesn't have many signs.
AstroTurf protests, for some reason, everyone's got the same signs.
Oh, how weird is that?
Because activists and organizations will spend money and time to make them and then hand them out.
And then these protesters don't even know exactly what they're saying.
I remember I was at a protest in New York and revolutionary communists, it's called RevCom, they wear jackboots and they march and go left, right, left, no joke, handed out a bunch of signs that said something about ending police racism, RevCom.
And so I asked him when I was filming, and I'm interviewing, and this was, I don't know, four or five years ago.
Maybe six years ago.
Maybe even longer, actually.
Maybe seven.
But I'm interviewing people, asking what's going on, and I saw one woman holding the sign, and I said, is it okay if I ask you some questions?
And she's like, sure.
And I was like, you know, what do you think about what's going on?
Blah, blah, blah.
And she's like, here's what I think.
And I said, Are you associated with RevCom, with revolutionary communists?
And she goes, what?
No, I'm not a communist.
Who are you working for?
Are you Fox News?
And I went, no ma'am, your sign says RevCom on it.
And she's like, I am not a communist.
You're fake news.
Well, I don't think she said fake news, but she was like, this is Fox News.
Now you're trying to accuse me of being communist.
And I was like, What is going on, lady?
You're holding up a sign that says RevCom on it!
Oh, no, no, I'm sorry.
It said, um... No, that's not true.
It said something like, stop fascism.
And I said, stop... I was like, are you associated with RevCom?
Stop fascism is a part... It was something like that.
I was like, it's a part of the Revolutionary Communist Party, and then she went off.
It's a cult.
These people are in a cult.
I don't know how else to say it.
They're in a cult.
They want to be in a cult.
They don't want to research.
They don't want to read.
They're just mad and they want to be mad.
And how do you convince them?
You know, I'm watching 1883.
Have you guys seen it?
Spoiler alert.
I know it's a couple years old, but, um, I'm watching, uh, it's like the last episode, I think.
And, uh, it's, if you're not familiar, it's the Oregon Trail, basically.
And so, good game, by the way.
The Oregon Trail back in the 80s, I mean, 90s.
And so, uh, they come across a Lakota camp that's been destroyed, burned.
The women and children are murdered.
One woman was, let's just call it abused, left for dead.
And they're like, our tracks lead right to this camp.
They're going to think we did it.
So they decide to go off and find who did it and get justice.
When the wagon and everybody leaves, the Lakota come back, see the dead, and then run after.
They follow the trail.
They come across these wagons and immediately just assume these people killed their family and start massacring the pioneers.
And then finally in the end, the main character yells something in Comanche, and they're like, how do you know that?
And she says her husband's Comanche.
And then they're like, she's like, we didn't kill your family.
My dad's tracking down their killers.
And then they stop.
Here's why I bring it up.
For one, I just literally watched it.
But when you are being faced with a violent, angry mob of people running full speed at you, convinced you killed their family, what do you do?
What do you do?
In the show, they circle the wagons and get their guns ready.
And I'm like, there's nothing but conflict coming.
When you have these people who care for nothing when it comes to the truth, they're angry, and it's YOUR FAULT!
What do you do?
Do you say, stop, stop, please, please, let's not fight, this is not good?
No.
Because they're running at you with guns drawn, figuratively.
They're coming at you screaming that you're a fascist, and you can't do anything because they're blinded with rage.
And you know what, honestly, that happens a lot in that show.
I don't know if that's how things were back then, but it's pretty scary that we had a constitution that said you're innocent until proven guilty, yet they still just went out and killed people.
I guess that was the lawlessness of the West.
You're in the middle of nowhere.
That's just what happens.
Now, I can't imagine the violence in that show is actually depicting legitimate violence, because, like, yeah, sorry, you can't just go around murdering tons of people in saloons.
You know, it happens in the show.
There's got to be some process, otherwise people are going to get mad.
But just thinking about that scene, having watched it just the other day, I'm like, how would you confront an angry mob that won't talk to you?
They're intent on making war with you.
I don't know, man.
As soon as you circle the wagons and draw your guns, you are showing them you are the threat.
So what do you do?
Do you drop all your weapons and just get down and put your hands up and say, it wasn't us, we didn't do it?
Are they gonna believe you?
No idea.
I kind of feel like, in that show, maybe that was the better option.
Because you're seriously outgunned and outmanned.
You got a whole bunch of, you know, Lakota on horseback with pistols and bows and everything.
It's like, your best bet might be to actually just surrender outright and say, we didn't do it.
But back into the real context of what's happening in the United States, I think when you bring it to reality, it's nice to believe that you could say, please stop, listen.
And they will, but they won't.
Because I've experienced this.
And in fact, I think what's really fanciful is that when the main character yells in Comanche, and then they're like, how do you know that?
Then they say, we're going to stop now and we're not going to kill you or whatever.
It's like, no way!
They'd be like, you lie!
And they'd kill you.
They don't care.
People don't act this way.
You get far-left extremists who come out and they're going to be like, you're a fascist.
No matter what you say, they won't care.
Hey, as exemplified by the video I did about Hassan, Hassan Piker, earlier today.
When I make a video, I'm like, I agree with him.
Why are we spending money on gender studies programs all over the world?
Literally referring to Pakistan, where we spent $10 million, and $100 billion in Ukraine, when we can't fix our own pipes, when we can't provide healthcare to our own people.
And his response was, to agree with me a little bit, but then insult and deride and laugh at me, and then all of his fans are doing the same thing.
It's a violent mob that's unwilling to listen to the truth, even when you agree with them.
