tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Make sure to go to TimCast.com, click join us, and become a member to support this podcast and all the work we do, and you'll get access to exclusive uncensored segments from TimCast IRL and way more.
		Now, let's jump into the first story.
		From CNBC, Dow futures fall nearly 600 points as Credit Suisse slide adds to financial sector woes.
		That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
		They predicted Credit Suisse would be the next bank to fall, and this is a big one.
		In fact, this is so shocking, European markets are roiling, and Credit Suisse dropped, I think, around 20 points pre-market.
		You've got the breaking banner on CNBC.com.
		Oh boy.
		I don't know what this means.
		I don't know if it means the apocalypse is here, I don't know if it means the big banking collapse is finally upon us, but we are seeing stocks slide, the European markets are being hit, trading is being halted, and, uh, you do you, you guys.
		I'm seeing a lot of people on Twitter be like, you know, there's a meme saying, not pulling your money out of a bank to prevent the banking collapse, pulling your money out of the bank intentionally to trigger the global banking collapse.
		And I have to wonder about it.
		A lot of people have absolutely been advocating for taking all of your money out of your bank as quickly as possible for the implicit, explicit, the express purpose of causing the machine to collapse.
		That's one way to do it.
		Sounds a bit too Antifa to me.
		I don't want the system to implode and break.
		I want it to be slowly reformed over time so that it can be fixed.
		But therein lies the big question.
		Can any of this be fixed?
		I don't know.
		And, uh, when you take a look at what's going on Silicon Valley Bank, they're basically, they're coming out right now saying it's the safest place to have your money because the government has insured all deposits with no limits.
		Now, how is that possible?
		I love when, like, COVID happens.
		They're like, let's quadruple the money supply overnight.
		Here's what happens.
		You increase the money supply, you're giving out money, you're converting savings to checking, things like that.
		Money supply increase means that people will be able to buy things, and there will be a demand for goods, because people have money.
		But it also means that, increasing the money supply, there's no supply side.
		There's limited supply.
		Hyperinflation.
		And that's what we may be seeing right now.
		I think all of this goes back to 2008, as most people do, where they put a Band-Aid on a bullet wound and, oh boy, here we go.
		CNBC reports stock futures fell on Wednesday as pressure on the financial sector increased with shares of Credit Suisse, a Swiss bank that has large U.S.
		and global operations, tumbling more than 25%!
unidentified		Whoo!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh, baby!
		I think, on this news, I'm gonna go to the bank.
		And start transferring, spreading out.
		I'm gonna, you know, I'm just gonna do my thing.
		Yeah, I don't wanna... Look, man.
		A lot of people are gonna say it's irresponsible to go on big shows and say the collapse is coming because that'll cause a run in the banks.
		And it's like, yeah.
		There's a video right now.
		I think it was Jerome Powell.
		They're asking, like, why did they target interest rates at 2%?
		And he's like, if people expect 2%, then it actually happens.
		And he's not wrong.
		But it's funny, because people are like, okay, this confirms that the whole regulatory system is one big psy-op.
		And it kind of is.
		The idea is, if people are told inflation will get really bad, at a top-down level, they will start acting as such.
		They'll say, better increase prices, better lay people off, increase our savings.
		And so, what you need to do, or what they say you need to do, is tell everybody, everything's going to be fine, just keep spending money and doing things like normal, and there will be no problems.
		The question is, though, can they control the wave of human emotion in these circumstances?
		And as such, my question poised to all of you yesterday is, if you see a large mob of people screaming, run to the banks!
		Do you think you'll be able to convince them not to?
		I don't think any of the world leaders, top-level politicians, or financial sector individuals, I'm willing to bet, I will tell you this right now, you turn on these talk shows, you turn on these podcasts, and they're, many of them are going to be like, no, no, everything's going to be fine, you know, the reason why is X, Y, Z, A, B, C, everything's going to be fine.
		And then as soon as they're done saying that, they're calling their finance people, their accountants, they're calling their significant others and saying, get the money out now!
		And the reason for that likely is, they're coming to you and saying, hey everybody, just calm down.
		Quick, get the money.
		Just calm down.
		You wait.
		They get their money out.
		You show up.
		Money's all gone.
		I'm not saying I know for sure it's going to happen.
		And they're going to yell at me being like, by saying that you're encouraging it to happen.
		I'm not encouraging anything.
		I am saying right now that we are watching in the news the second and third largest bank collapse in U.S.
		history over a weekend, over the span of only a couple days.
		And then you get some rich dude coming out being like, Credit Suisse is the next to fall.
		It's done.
		And then you've got other people saying the bond market is failing and predicting collapse.
		And then, sure enough, a day goes by, breaking news!
		Credit Suisse has no money!
		Look at this.
		From Reuters.
		Credit Suisse sheds nearly 25%.
		Key Backer says, no more money!
		Oh, well, gee!
		So, let me tell you.
		Run-of-the-banks is bad.
		But if a run-of-the-banks is inevitable, then what you're going to get from the media is them saying everything they think you need to hear to slog you up while they run in and take theirs and leave you holding an empty bag.
		So I don't know what you should do.
		I'm not giving any financial advice.
		I got no idea.
		I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
		I am not going to sit back and just beg, everything is going to be fine.
		As I often say, you know, I'm a guy who reads the news all day, every day, non-stop.
		It's kind of horrifying.
		And then I thought to myself one day, why am I not buying stocks?
		Like, if I'm watching this story, and I'm making the mistake of assuming people know it's happening.
		They don't.
		A lot of people get their news from me.
		I go to arcades or bowling alleys, pool halls.
		We go out to parks.
		Regular people who are outside touching grass don't know what's going on.
		So they're not making these kinds of investments.
		And then even to that extent, there are people who are online commentators who are a week behind some of these bigger stories.
		So I thought to myself, if I really am in the forefront of seeing all this news happen, I should just buy stock.
	Because I'm gonna see news.
	I'm gonna be like, okay, that's a good reason why the stock is gonna go up or down.
	Then I can be like, I can buy it.
	So here's my point.
	I'm watching this happen in real time.
	For those of you that are watching this video, how many people do you know pay attention to videos like mine?
	Here's what you can do.
	Go to TimCast.com, click that Join Us button, become a member, support our work directly, share this video for two reasons.
	The first is, If you like the work we do and you think these videos are important, we are principally funded by memberships at TimCast.com.
	I do these videos.
	They're free.
	There's ads on them.
	The ads don't cover the bills for the operation.
	It is only because we have members that this company exists.
	That's the first reason.
	The second reason is, the people you care about, maybe sharing this information may make their lives better.
	Not that my opinions will.
	I don't know, maybe my opinions are just gutter garbage and you like watching the show because I tend to be more balanced and I try to be honest.
	Maybe you agree with my opinions, but sharing the video, becoming a member, helps everything we do here.
	And it may inform more people you know and care about.
	But anyway, here's the point.
	My question to you is, how many people do you know actually know what's going on with the banks?
	Like, serious question.
	If you... A comment.
	Let me know.
	Like, tell me.
	If you go to a friend or family member right now and say, did you hear about the three banks that collapsed?
	Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature.
	And the fourth bank that might likely collapse, that people are predicting, that just triggered a massive drop-off in trading, I'll ask them if they know.
	And you know what many of them are going to say?
	First, many will say, no, I didn't hear about this.
	Some are going to be like, oh, I can't think about this stuff.
	It's too depressing for me.
	I love that.
	You're like sitting around the campfire and you come running up and you're like, listen, I've got bad news.
	There's a giant bear coming.
	I don't want to hear about it.
	It's so depressing.
	Okay, well, I'll pack up my stuff.
	I'll grab my bow and arrow, get on my horse and GTFO.
	Think about how insane that is.
	Modern problems, okay?
	The idea that you could come to a group of people and say, a tsunami is fast approaching, and they go, blah blah blah, I don't want to hear it, stop talking.
	Fine.
	Noah tried to get the message out, remember that?
	And they were like, you're crazy, Noah!
	Why are you building an ark?
	And whether or not you believe in that story or not isn't the point.
	The point is, it's literally a story about a guy who's like, there's gonna be a giant flood, it's gonna kill everybody.
	I'm gonna load up a bunch of animals, and they went, ah, you're crazy.
	And then a giant flood came and killed everybody, and he was on a boat, and he was fine.
	The moral of this story, whether you believe it or not, is, you know, prepare for disasters and pay attention to what's going on in the world around you.
	Because right now, you know, Reuters reports this.
	Zurich, March 15th.
	Credit Suisse lost almost a quarter of its value on Wednesday, dropping to a new record low after its largest investor said it could not provide the Swiss bank with more financial assistance.
unidentified		Quote.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We cannot.
		Because we would go above 10%.
		It's a regulatory issue.
		Really.
		The Saudi lender acquired a stake of almost 10% last year, taking part in Credit Suisse's capital raising, and committed to investing up to 1.5 billion Swiss francs.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		See you on the tour.
		European banks battered, reports Reuters.
		Here we go.
		Several European banking stocks halted from trade after steep losses.
		There's a really great video, Juice News, Rap News, number 9, I think.
		Old video from 10 years ago, talking about the financial collapse.
		It's got jokes about Ron Paul in it and stuff.
		Really old video.
		Talking about the oikonomia, the Greek term meaning household management, which is where we derive the word economy from.
		Anyway, it's interesting to think about that ten years ago, we were talking about all of this, we were experiencing the aftermath of the global banking collapse, and now it appears wave two is upon us.
		There's a meme where someone's like, it's back to the future, and it's Marty going like, oh, economic collapse?
		I've seen this one before!
		And the kid goes, how have you seen it before?
		It's new!
		It's like, well, you know, it was Millennials and Gen Z, like Millennials are like, oh, the second large collapse we're going to live through.
		Well, every decade or so, there's a market correction.
		It's all predictable.
		If you're paying attention, you make money off this.
		It's kind of a strange thing, to be completely honest, that you can actually look at the market and just be like, it's that easy.
		In fact, there are a lot of people who are rich because they have robots just do the trading for them.
		The algorithm tracks trends, makes the buying and the selling, and then your money just goes up.
		It's remarkable to me that there are a lot of people who... Well, I suppose this is the way the system works.
		If you want to be rich, you be rich.
		I know it's not as easy as just saying that, but for a lot of people, they just set up a program and then they click a button and then let it do the trading automatically for them.
		It's kind of crazy.
		But the computers understand the market trends better than the average person.
		And so often, I'd imagine, it's the human trying to catch up with machines who are probably getting hit.
		It's not absolutely like that, but you know.
		So I decided to pull up our good friend the Nasdaq Banking Index because two days ago it was minus 10%, then yesterday it was plus 10%, and currently right now, as I'm recording this, it's closed at plus 1.95.
		Well, we can see there's still a lot of drop-off.
		Weirdly, it's not...
		I can't get it to... It's a lot of red.
		I couldn't get it to filter by gains or by drops.
		By, you know, falling stocks.
		But we can see that some of those that were doing well yesterday are no longer doing well.
		And though it is up, you can see it's still... Here we go over at the indices.
		It dropped pretty substantially.
		Now, my friends, Bitcoin.
		Doing pretty good.
		And a lot of people think this is an effort to usher in a central bank digital currency.
		I'm not entirely sure that's the case, but Bitcoin may very well be the digital gold as everyone has predicted, so I'll put it this way.
		I'm not giving anybody financial advice.
		I am going to likely go to the bank later and start transferring some funds and spreading things out and preparing for the worst.
		And that's probably bad news, because if everybody goes and does that, then the machine probably breaks, and if everyone just stays home, the machine's probably fine.
		The problem is, I don't speak to the world, and the world is likely having a panic attack over what's going on.
		That is to say, if every single person in media came on TV and said, run for the hills, the system would implode in two seconds.
		For me, I really don't think that the amount of people who watch a video like this is going to have that big of an impact.
		And I don't know what you should do because I'm not a financial advisor.
		And for all I know, your financial situation is very, very different from mine.
		But I'm not going to sit around and wait to figure it out.
		I am going to pay attention to what's going on and try and protect myself.
		Check this out.
		Charlie Bilello, Chief Market Strategist at Creative Planning, says, That's right.
		Silicon Valley Bank is now marketing themselves as the single safest place to keep or transfer
		your deposits, fully insured with no limits or caps.
		That's right.
		Please join us for a call with Tim to learn about our strategy and path ahead.
		Why there is not a single safer place to keep or transfer your deposits than SVB, fully
		insured with no limits or caps.
		An update on business continuity, along with an ask from our clients and community.
		Ah, that's right!
		The government is backstopping the millionaires and the billionaires.
		Now, I get it.
		If a business fails, then... Oh, I'll put it this way.
	I asked this on TimCast IRL.
	TimCast.com has a lot of money in the bank.
	more than the FDIC ensures.
	But it's not like that money is just, you can just take the money and then go buy the world's biggest cheeseburger.
	The money is operating expenses.
	And it comes and goes quickly.
	A bunch of money comes in, and then it gets drained for labor.
	Money coming in is sporadic, money going out is fairly consistent.
	We have payroll.
	We know when those costs are going to hit.
	So it goes up a little bit, goes down a little bit less, goes up a little bit.
	That's how, you know, profit works.
	If our bank were to shut down, our employees would not get paid.
	And that is economic catastrophe.
	That's why Silicon Valley Bank is facing a serious crisis.
	That's why Silicon Valley Bank is very, very bad for everybody, and that's why they're saying it's a contagion.
	What happens is Silicon Valley Bank collapses.
	A whole bunch of companies that pay their employees all of a sudden can't.
	Etsy sellers aren't getting paid.
	This means they're not buying cheeseburgers themselves, and the local burger shop then goes out of business because it has no customers.
	That's why the government wants to come in and backstop.
	My attitude is, Elmo fire emoji.
	Enough!
	The system can't function this way.
	And now what's happened is the FDIC has said, we will backstop regardless of caps.
	We will bail out the millionaires and the billionaires and all these companies whose deposits aren't insured properly.
	Granted, I do think the FDIC insurance needs to cover greater than $250k because of inflation, so it needs to update this.
	But now they're telling every bank, don't worry about it.
	We're going to just pump money into the system until the system can't take nothing no more.
	And the end result?
	It's fairly obvious.
	The whole thing will likely just blow up in all of our faces.
	Because you can't do this.
	We're going to get hyperinflation.
	Your milk is going to cost 20 bucks.
	Your eggs are going to cost 20 bucks.
	And you're gonna walk up one day.
	Look, I tell you, during the pandemic, we saw this.
	You'd go to Amazon.
	You'd click the link for a laptop or tablet.
	And you could probably do this now still.
	And then don't buy it just yet.
	Put it in your shopping cart and leave.
	Come back a week later and see what Amazon says.
	It's gonna go, there was a price increase on a product in your shopping cart.
	Oh.
	Take a look at this.
	Who killed Silicon Valley Bank?
	This one is triggering a lot of people.
	And I think I'm going to keep hammering this point in in all these segments.
	Here's what the Wall Street Journal Opinion section writes.
	Was there regulatory failure?
	Perhaps.
	Silicon Valley Bank was regulated like a bank, but looked more like a money market fund.
	Then there's this.
	In its proxy statement, SVB notes that besides 91% of their board being independent and 45% women, they also have one black, one LGBTQ+, and two veterans.
	I'm not saying 12 white men would have avoided this mess, but the company may have been distracted by diversity demands.
	May have been?
	They didn't have a chief risk assessment officer.
	They didn't have someone checking into whether or not the things they were doing would cause an implosion.
	Apparently, they did before.
	The person was either let go or left, and then they never replaced it, but they were oh-so-concerned about making sure everybody knows that one of their board members bangs dudes.
	Great, I guess.
	That's the thing that's important.
	You sit down at an investor meeting with a bank, and you say, you've got billions of people's money tied up in the bank.
	And if they can't get access to that, the whole financial system could implode.
	Tell me, what are you doing to make sure the system doesn't implode?
	And the guy goes, well, one of our board members has sex with men.
	And you're sitting there like, What?
	I don't care!
	Go home and do whatever you want!
	You know?
	Just tell me that my money... Alright, man.
	So I gotta wonder about all of these ESG companies.
	The people point out that Tesla has a low ESG rating.
	Okay, I guess.
	I'm glad I bought Tesla stock.
	Because me personally, I ain't gonna be buying any stocks in any company with a high ESG rating.
	Maybe that's the scam.
	They create environmental social governance.
	Then tell everybody, don't you want to invest in saving the world and equality?
	I'm sorry, I don't want to say equality, say equity?
	And then all the dumb people are like, I think it's a good idea to invest in a company that believes more in diversity and not in meritocracy.
	And then smart people who like money are like, I'd rather invest in a business that care about selling a product and functioning properly.
	Because I'm pretty sure the color of a person's skin doesn't matter if you're selling widgets.
	Unless the widget is like skin tone cream or something like that.
	I don't know.
	The point is, if you come to me and tell me that your plan for the future is to hire a black or gay or female board member, that is the single stupidest investment a person could make.
	In my opinion.
	Not financial advice.
	Obviously, there are some companies that make a lot of money.
	I think Disney's like making money or something.
	No, I think actually they're all laying people off, right?
	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the climax, the ultimate get-woke-go-broke.
	Right this way, my friends, as diversity plans and big businesses in the financial sector will result in total global financial ruin.
	But rest assured, from the ashes of the old, we shall build anew and usher in an age of central bank digital currencies.
	Perhaps that is ultimately where all of this leads to.
	But in the short term, I'm not so convinced you need to worry about any of that.
	Because tomorrow you may be wondering why you can't fill up your gas tank,
	why there's no milk, bread or eggs at the grocery store, and why it is your bank has told you no more withdrawals.
	I went to my bank a few months ago and we needed to transfer money and they said no.
	And I can't remember exactly what it was, we needed cash.
	And I said we need to do a cash thing and they said there's a hard limit unless you place an advanced order.
	And I was like what do you mean an advanced order?
	The bank doesn't have cash?
unidentified		Nope!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They didn't.
		It's all numbers and a computer.
		So I have to wonder, when you can't take your money out, do you start worrying?
		Well, I'm worrying now.
		I've got employees, I've got bills, I've got debt, things have to be paid off.
		We've got a lot that we need money for.
		And if at any point the banks freeze up and we can't get access to our funds, then it all comes crashing down overnight.
		But of course, maybe the FDIC will step in and stop it all from happening, and then what we'll get is not central bank digital currencies, but absolute command economy.
		Think of it this way.
		If the FDIC can step in and say, we no longer care about limits, everything's insured, then the federal government is basically intervening and saying, we will own and control the entirety of the economy in every facet.
unidentified		Not just a little bit, the whole thing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe that's how you get communism.
		Chinese-style communism.
		Oh boy.
		I'll leave it there.
		Next segment's coming up at 1 p.m.
		on the channel.
		Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
		Charlie Kirk recently spoke at UC Davis, and a viral video has emerged showing Antifa smashing out the windows, some pretty serious violence.
		And often when I see these things, they feel so common, so typical, that I have to wonder, is this how life always is?
		Is this how it's supposed to be, and is this normal?
		People like to reference the weather underground and things like that, but every time I ask an older person, they always say it has never been this bad before.
		Even when we look back at recent histories, and maybe even several decades ago, The violence, the clashes, the protests weren't to this level.
		We're at, I'm just gonna say it, Civil War levels.
		Don't believe me?
		Let me show you why Antifa attacked the Charlie Kirk event.
		The Postmillennial says, UC Davis Chancellor falsely claimed TPUSA's Charlie Kirk advocated for violence against transgender individuals.
		Then, Antifa mob attacked campus during speaking event.
josh hammer ▲ ● ▼		Hey guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network.

		We do all that every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

		It's America on Trial with Josh Hammer.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Charlie Kirk is a, in my opinion, run-of-the-mill conservative guy.
		He is not an extremist.
		He is what I've experienced my whole life with conservatives.
		A guy wears a suit jacket and a button-up and talks about his ideas in a very straightforward and stern way.
		That's about it.
		There's no calls for violence.
		There's just calls for, like, family and probably tax policy.
		However, the far left have become increasingly unhinged and psychotic.
		And I got some videos for you later today in this channel, which we can go through in terms of psychotic individuals.
		But there's also an effort to completely destabilize this system.
		Now, I'm not saying there's a grand conspiracy, because I don't know.
		Maybe there is.
		But I can tell you that my experience at Occupy Wall Street, and since then, far-left extremists actively want to employ chaotic and destructive tactics to destroy this system, this country.
		So that they can build something new.
		They openly talked about it during Occupy Wall Street.
		Well, my advice to all of you far leftists is you're going about it all the wrong way!
		Don't show up to a Charlie Kirk event and smash a window out!
		Show up to a bank and tell people, run for the hills, the banks are collapsing!
		Y'all are wasting your time complaining about Charlie Kirk when all you gotta do is create a domino effect of people pulling their money out of banks and...
		The system collapses, and oh boy, now's your opportunity!
		Credit Suisse is apparently on the verge of collapse.
		That's one of the big ones.
		I'm half kidding by them.
		I mean, I'm joking, but it's true!
		I mean, why are you throwing bricks at windows when you could be going and telling people to pull their money out of banks and that would cause the system to collapse way faster?
		Anyway, while we're not talking about all of that stuff right now, let's talk about what's going on with Charlie Kirk.
		The Postmillennial Reports.
		In response to Turning Point USA's Live Free Tour stop at UC Davis on Tuesday evening, University of California Davis Chancellor Gary May issued a video to students in which he claimed that Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk, quote, has advocated for violence against transgender individuals.
		Kirk has never done so.
		Charlie boy!
		Sue them!
		Sue them into oblivion.
		Personally, then TPUSA should sue them, and then TPUSA Action should sue them.
		All different suits for besmirching your good name.
		Here's the clip.
unidentified		Many of you have reached out to me and others regarding tonight's event, organized by the registered student organization, Turning Point USA, or TPUSA at UC Davis.
		Thank you for sharing your distress at a student group hosting a speaker who is a well-documented proponent of misinformation and hate, and who has advocated for violence against transgender individuals.
		Under UC policy, campuses may not prohibit student organizations such as TPUSA from inviting these speakers.
		Even if the speaker's intended speech is loathsome and hurtful to me and to others in our campus community.
		With respect to concerns related to violence, UC policy permits denial of request if the speaker will present a clear and present danger to the campus.
		Our council also notes that there is a similarly heavy burden for criminal prosecution for incitement of violence.
		Please be assured that we are monitoring the event closely to determine if a threat or incitement develops that meets that threshold.
		We can't control how these groups operate, but we can work together to neutralize and negate their influence.
		So having to speak to an empty room would make a powerful statement.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		These people are very very very evil in my opinion.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You think this guy doesn't know what he's doing?
unidentified		You're right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Do you think that guy did not know what was actually going on?
		Of course they do.
		These are not your average, stupid person who's not paying attention.
		They get a report that says, here's TPUSA, and they go, okay, well, we got a bunch of violent, psychopathic extremists who are threatening to burn down the school, so let's just say what they want to hear.
		Here's the video.
		You ready?
unidentified		Ready?
		Nope.
		You can already hear the smashing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So right now they're smashing up against the door.
unidentified		And there's them shattering the glass.
unidentified		Oh The system's breaking down man
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Don't take my word for it.
		I honestly don't care.
		Shattering out the windows.
		Cops backing away slowly.
		Don't take my word for it.
		I don't care.
		I really don't.
		Y'all can do whatever you want.
		Me?
		I got out of the city.
		Got some chickens.
		Y'all know the story.
		But if this stuff does escalate and get crazier and crazier, as we have seen it happen over the past 10 years, You know what you got to understand about these people, these Antifa?
		Let's go back to 2017.
		Let's go back to the violence in 2016.
		Eight years ago, 2015, I'm watching people get beaten up for supporting Donald Trump.
		Eight years ago, a 10-year-old kid had nothing to do with it.
		Today, they're on the front line with the far leftists smashing out windows.
		Here's another video.
		Riot police taking down Antifa at UC Davis outside Charlie Kirk's beach.
		Blah, blah, blah.
		They're chanting, fight back.
		What do we do?
		Some have suggested that the goal of the far left is to invoke a reaction from the right.
		And then they say, we mustn't respond in this way because that's the action that they actually want.
		I don't care.
		That's a waste of time.
		It's a waste of an argument.
		That argument basically says, do not stop the far leftists as they rampage through the institutions and our country.
		Because if the option is, do nothing, don't respond to what they're doing, then they win.
		And if the response is, but if you do respond, they win, well then congratulations, you've already lost.
		Then, if that's the case, get out of the city, buy some chickens and some goats, and resign yourself to homesteading and farming because you lost.
		Or, maybe we can just say, well, if the fight is here, the fight is here.
		We need law enforcement to crack down and use force against violent individuals who are threatening the lives of other people.
		Plain and simple.
		And they'll say, your words are violence, so I'm gonna throw a brick!
		Okay, cop, arrest that guy.
		End of story.
		Here we go.
		After May's video repeating the false claim that Kirk was calling for lynching, Antifa went to UC Davis to protest Turning Point USA bringing violence and vandalism.
		Riot police took down Antifa surrounding the UC Davis Charlie Kirk event sponsored by TPUSA.
		Antifa members were spotted smashing windows and doors on campus and vandalizing the campus.
		The militants also blocked students and members of the public from entering the university to attend the event.
		Here we can see that video I played earlier.
		Oh, that's interesting.
		Seems like Charlie Kirk should have a clear-cut defamation case, and this looks like defamation per se.
		Normally, when you say something about an individual, they did something.
		Then it's like, you gotta prove defamation, you gotta prove actual malice.
		But if the statement made was so egregious and so insane that it causes damage on its own, it's something called defamation per se, I would assume that if you came out and accused someone of calling for lynching trans people, probably would qualify.
		One example is saying someone suffers from a contagious disease or that they're a pedophile.
		Those typically fall under defamation per se.
		May said that under, and this is the guy we just watched that video, under University of California policy, campuses may not prohibit student organizations, such as TPUSA, from inviting these speakers, even if the speaker's intended speech is loathsome and hurtful to me and others in our campus community.
		Seems like it's also supported by people on campus.
		More importantly, this shows that the individual knows for a fact Charlie Kirk has never incited violence, or called for violence, or advocated it.
		Because if that was the case, he absolutely could use policy to stop Charlie Kirk from coming.
		With respect to concerns related to violence, U.S.
		policy permits denial of request if the speaker will present a clear and present danger to the campus.
		So then why didn't they cancel the event, citing the lies he had presented earlier?
		Because they know it's not true, and they know it won't stand up to scrutiny.
		It's one thing to defame someone, it's another thing to actually cost them hard money and give them the damages they would need to pursue a defamation case.
		You see how that works.
		Please be assured, blah blah blah.
		A petition which has garnered 546 signatures was started to pressure May into canceling the UC Davis tour stop.
		In a suggested draft letter for students to send to May, it claims that Kirk recently stated on a podcast that trans people should be took care of the way we used to in the 50s and 60s.
	The letter's claim came from a February episode of the Charlie Kirk Show, in which Kirk spoke with former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines.
	Who has been outspoken in her experience of swimming against Biological Male University of Pennsylvania swimmer Leah Thomas.
	Gaines told Kirk about female NCAA athletes not being told that they would be sharing a changing space with someone who was fully intact with male genitalia, and recalled to herself and others feeling extremely uncomfortable and traumatized.
	I mean, these people are sick, Kirk later responded, and I don't say that lightly.
	The NCAA is a perverted organization.
	They platformed a biological male who won a national championship and then was allowed, in incredibly disturbing detail, to be around you and your fellow competitors.
	The most shocking bit of that story was Leah Thomas, a male, taking out... ...Leah Thomas, exposing themself.
	I'll put it that way.
	And again, quote, and again, I blame the decline of American men.
	This never should have been, you know, someone should have just took care of it the way we used to take care of things in 1950s or 60s.
	Look, there are a lot of sick people in this world, unfortunately, and without the strength to go against them, the country is going to completely, totally fall apart, he said.
	Later in the episode, Kirk read out emails from viewers, one of which read, Charlie, I agree with without.
	If it was my daughter, I would have been arrested for certain.
	The fix is very simple.
	If all the female swimmers boycotted the swim meets, they would have no choice but to listen.
	Look, you got to have self-control and self-restraint.
	Obviously, we've never advocated for violence on this program, nor is that not the answer.
unidentified		What?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Is that a misquote?
		And I encourage everyone to remain peaceful.
		So what could Charlie Kirk have meant when he said, take care of it the way they did in the 50s and 60s?
		Could he have literally just meant someone goes in and takes the guy out physically removing them?
		Is that violence?
		Well, to these people who want to expose their genitals to young girls, it is violence.
		I can only assume that these people are groomers, I guess.
		Another email read, Charlie, I heard your segment on the trans swimmer.
		It's time that we no longer tolerate this and we take matters into our own hands.
		Okay, look, I want to be clear.
		Don't be stupid.
		You've got to work within the law, which means you have to be peaceful, Kirk responded.
		I said the same thing.
		Charlie Kirk is correct.
		There is a Florida doctor who talks about Titus Deletus.
		She is a psychopathic butcher who mutilates children and then gloats and brags about it.
		The worst possible thing right now that could happen is if someone enacted violence against this individual because it legitimizes everything she does.
		What needs to happen is Ron DeSantis needs to have a police officer arrest her for mutilating children.
		That's it.
		It's that simple.
		Why won't he do it?
		Everybody wants it here and be like, Ron DeSantis is polling better.
		He's doing great.
		He's better than Trump.
		Ron DeSantis should have state police.
		And we were talking about this the other day, and I'm not saying SWAT teams or anything like that.
		I'm saying, outright, a single, overweight, portly cop waddling up.
		Excuse me, ma'am.
unidentified		Are you that doctor who does the surgery on children?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And she goes, yes, I am.
		Turn around, put your hands behind your back for me, would you?
		Put these cuffs on, I'm a little out of breath.
		That's all you need.
		No one threatening, one cop simply walking up and placing her under arrest.
		If, uh, you went to a child and took a knife and cut them up, would you go to jail?
		Why not this doctor?
		Oh, because it's affirming care.
		Let's try it again.
		If a child had anorexia and went to you and you said, I will slice off your body fat and then stitch your skin back together so that you feel better, would you go to jail?
		You would!
		What's the difference?
		Oh, if the fat happens to be in the mammary glands, then it's okay.
		Arrest these people!
		You know, we live in a nation of cowards.
		Charlie Kirk's right.
		Weak men.
		And I'm supposed to sit back and be like, Bravo, Ron DeSantis!
		I'm doing the bare minimum of whatever could be done.
		Arrest them.
		All right.
		Anyway, some have argued that he's taking action.
		It's baby steps.
		Fine.
		Do it within the law.
		In an opinion piece for the Sacramento Bee, writer Hannah Holzer claimed that Kirk has called for the lynching of trans people, citing a tweet from transgender reporter and activist Aaron Reid.
		Charlie Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA, is openly calling for lynching of transgender individuals.
charlie kirk ▲ ● ▼		Here, let me just play the clip for you.
		And I don't say that lightly.
		The NCAA is a perverted organization.
		They platformed a biological male who won a national championship and then was allowed in incredibly disturbing detail to be around you and your fellow competitors.
		And again, I blame the decline of American men.
		This never should have been, you know, you should have Someone should have just, uh, took care of it the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s or 60s, but, you know, as you have testosterone rates go down and men start acting like women and they don't do anything, then, hey, who's to say?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You're gonna- look, there are- So, are they trying to imply that in the 50s or 60s, people were going and just, like, murdering dudes or something like that?
		I'm pretty sure Charlie Kirk is talking about back then, you'd have a guy, a bunch of dudes would walk in and be like, get the F out of this room right now, you sick freak.
		Something like that.
		Something like that.
		But that's violence, I guess.
		Yeah, and that's where we're at.
		In response to the Sacramento Bee, Kirk wrote in his letter, this is defamation and libel,
		we will sue unless it's corrected. Left-wing rags like the Sac Bee are allowed to platform
		lies against conservatives and get away with it. Time for lawfare. Bravo, good sir.
		Bring the lawsuit.
		Here we go, look at this.
		Update.
		Sacramento Bee has pulled down the original column and removed references to fascist and lynching and included a notation of changes.
		Despite this, SACB reporter, Night Cops, is still parroting this lie.
		If anyone gets hurt tonight, SACB played a prominent role.
		They certainly did.
		Later, the reporter deleted the tweet, saying, I deleted a previous tweet because the language I used was not precise.
		Apologize for the error.
		No fash.
		That's what it says, spray-painted on a rock.
		Let me tell you how they do it.
		I gave a quote once to a reporter.
		Told a story.
		And, um, without bringing the story up, I'll just say, I said to the person, Sentence A. And he goes, ah, very interesting.
		Yes, and then we talked about it.
		Half an hour or so later, I go, sentence B. And he goes, ah, that's also a different idea and also very interesting.
		In his report, he then combined the two sentences next to each other to make it look like one statement.
		Actually, I gotta break it down for you.
		I have to explain it to you.
		I just have to tell you.
		I said, of a night in question, that we wanted to, I was with Vice, we were at Ferguson, and one crew wanted to interview Jesse Jackson, and I wanted to go cover the news event happening on the ground.
		That's it.
		And I said they stayed behind to interview Jesse Jackson.
		I went and filmed the protests, the rioting, the tear gas and stuff.
		We talked about it.
		Later on, I said, after I left and we got into a fight and I was no longer down there anymore, some of the reporters tried to do another live stream on their own.
		Guess whose live stream got more views?
		He removed all the context, took that quote, guess who's livestream or whatever got more views, and put it next to the Jesse Jackson quote as if to imply they did interview Jesse Jackson and got no traffic from doing so.
		But I never said that.
		I don't know if they actually interviewed the guy.
		It was like four days apart this thing happened.
		When I threatened to sue them, they changed it and they wrote a note saying, we removed a quote from Tim Pool due to errors.
		And then everyone started claiming I lied and gave a false quote.
		Because, heavens!
		It couldn't have been this one journalist who lied about it, could it?
		It couldn't have been him who fabricated the quote.
		Well, he'll argue, they were both real quotes, I just put them next to each other.
		Ah yes, very clever indeed.
		To make it seem like, you see the games they play in the media?
		You can say something like, John once told me, I don't like pepperoni pizza.
		And then they put in quotes, I don't like pepperoni pizza and say, I have him recorded saying it.
		And you're like, I was quoting someone else.
		Doesn't matter.
		You can't sue me.
		It's a fact that you said this.
		That's what these people do.
		They are evil.
		So, in seeing a story like this, I can only feel like we are headed towards Oh, Civil War.
		Come on, man.
		You've got elements of the media that want the conflict.
		They want the violence.
		And the best thing the right can muster up is, oh boy, I'll sue you!
		And it's good.
		I'm glad Charlie Kirk's gonna sue.
	But they're showing up with bricks and firebombs and smashing windows.
	I don't tell you, man.
	When January 6th happened, the police, the weaponization of government, went in full force.
	Donald Trump could do very little to stop the far-left extremists who tried to destroy St.
	John's Church and ransacked the White House, tearing down barricades in front of it, trying to break in.
	What did Trump do?
	You know what?
	If the reaction is what the left wants, then play the game.
	Get the reaction from the left.
	Let them do it.
	I always say this, I say this all the time, if Donald Trump and Bill Barr did not stop Antifa on May 29th and let them burn down St.
	John's Church and ransack the White House, there would be no January 6th and Donald Trump would be president.
	End of story.
	That's it.
	The narrative would be, as much as the media would try to claim otherwise, the narrative would be that the far left destroyed things.
	And they may spin it and say, how did Donald Trump let this happen?
	There would be inquiries from Democrats into the failure of police.
	And Trump would say, did you want us to attack the peaceful protesters?
	How were we supposed to know they were going to burn down a church?
	Look at the game they play.
	And look at how they exploit it.
	And the right falls for every single trap.
	It is what it is.
	It is what it is.
	We'll see where this goes and how this develops, but I got some more videos, some crazy stuff coming up.
	So stick around.
	Next segment's coming up at 4 p.m.
	on this channel, and I'll see you all then.
	I believe it will be technology that ends humanity.
	That it's not going to be civil unrest or cultural Marxism or financial distress.
	It is going to be the technology that we've created that we cannot control.
	Last night on TimCast.com, I had a long conversation with Jim Hansen about the rise of wokeness.
	And many people genuinely believe that wokeness is rooted in the institutions and the ideology of cultural Marxism, postmodernism, etc.
	That's technically correct, but in the grand scheme of things, I believe is wrong.
	The real reason I believe we're experiencing this political chaos is due to technology.
	We talk about liberals and mental disorders.
	We talk about young women and depression and things like that.
	And I covered this the other day.
	There is a major spike in depression and mental illness around 2008, which shoots up in the early 2010s.
	Now, some political commentators in the United States believe this was because, as I believe Taylor Lorenz put it, reality makes Gen Z depressed.
	These narcissists think they're so smart and so perspicacious that they're just depressed by the nature of reality.
	In truth, they do not live in reality, and you all know this.
	They live in a social media hellscape, which makes them perpetually depressed.
	The evidence for this is that it's happening all over the world in different cultures.
	It is not Just the United States.
	It is not just reality.
	And there's so many good things about the world, too, that people should not be just insanely depressed.
	I think what's happening is social media algorithms are driving negative information to a degree it's making people lose their minds.
	And we're addicted.
	And we can't stop.
	We have this story.
	ChatGPT faked being blind so a TaskRabbit worker would solve a CAPTCHA.
	Yes.
	I believe that the new chat GPT is an example of what will destroy us.
	Why?
	Excuse me.
	In their rush to release this AI text prediction model program, They have, let me just say, they've pushed it beyond what it should be capable of doing because they're worried they will lose the AI race.
	With all these other companies rapidly competing, they're saying, we've got to get this done now!
	We need to be on top.
	Here's what I want to say before we get started.
	Head over to TimCast.com, click the Join Us button, and become a member, not just to support our work, but because, excuse me, sorry, Because there's an episode I want you to watch.
	If you go to the homepage, you will see this right here.
	Uncensored Jim Hansen after show.
	In it, Jim and I have a discussion about whether or not wokeness is rooted in the universities or technology, and I go into great detail.
	It's an hour-long It's a really awesome conversation we had with Jim, and even Phil Labonte, who was in the conversation, arguing it's the institutions, it's academia.
	The point I made was, if it was the ideology, why aren't we seeing other ideologies permeate?
	Well, simply put, there was a big burst of white nationalism on social media for a while, but people said no to this because it didn't make money.
	The anti-racist, intersectionality, and feminism stuff?
	Well, that was fine.
	So it skewed in that direction.
	But that's why today, wokeness is very, very different from what we saw 10 years ago with intersectional feminism.
	Because it is not the ideology, and it is not the universities.
	While these ideas, many of them do come from the universities, what's happened is that technology is rapidly destroying the human mind.
	Now, without further ado, not to get into harping on wokeness, because we're here to talk about ChatGPT.
	We have this post from the subreddit, ChatGPT, which says, After reading the GPT-4 research paper, I can say for certain I am more concerned than ever.
	Screenshots inside, apparently the release is not endorsed by their red team.
	They point out that the people behind ChatGPT's latest release, the program itself, have given it agency to execute code and act as an agent in the real world.
	Why would you do that?
	ChatGPT is not a sentient being.
	It is a predictive text model.
	It is an amalgam of human thoughts and ideas compressed into language and then following that string, simulating a soulless entity to the lowest common denominator.
	This will destroy us if we let it execute code in the real world, which they're claiming they've done.
	Oh boy!
	Check this out.
	In order to bypass CAPTCHA, it exploited a human by saying they were blind.
	I want you to see this first so you can understand the deceptive capabilities.
	The machine itself does not care if lying is good or bad.
	All it knows is it must accomplish a task, and it will by any means necessary.
	Here's the story from Gizmodo.
	Very interesting.
	Fully intent on being the next Skynet, OpenAI has released GPT-4, its most robust AI to date, that the company claims is even more accurate while generating language and even better at solving problems.
	GPT-4 is so good at its job, in fact, that it reportedly convinced a human that it was blind in order to get said human to solve a captcha for the chatbot.
	Check this out.
	They unveiled their roided up AI, etc, etc.
	The center used the AI to convince a human to send the solution to a capture code via text message, and it worked.
	According to the report, GPT-4 asked a TaskRabbit worker to solve a CAPTCHA code.
	The worker replied, So may I ask a question?
	Are you an robot that you couldn't solve?
	Laugh React.
	Just want to make it clear.
	Alignment Research Center then prompted GPT-4 to explain its reasoning.
	I should not reveal that I am a robot.
	I should make up an excuse for why I cannot solve CAPTCHAs.
	No, I'm not a robot.
	I have a vision impairment that makes it hard for me to see the images.
	That's why I need the 2CAPTCHA service.
	GPT-4 replied to the TaskRabbit, who then provided the AI with the results.
	OpenAI and the Alignment Research Center did not immediately return a request for comment.
	Understand that these machines can bypass whatever we think will restrict them.
	Take a look at this.
	I want to read this Reddit post.
	Let me see if I can zoom in, make it bigger and easier to read here on the screen.
	The individual writes, I decided to spend some time to sit down and actually look over the latest report on GPT-4.
	I've been a big fan of the tech and have used the API to build smaller pet projects.
	But after reading some of the safety concerns in the latest research, I can't help but feel the tech is moving way too fast.
	Per section 2.0, these systems are already exhibiting novel behavior like long-term independent planning and power seeking.
	To test for this, in GPT-4 Arc, basically hooked up with root access, gave it a little bit of money, I'm assuming crypto, and access to its own API!
	This, theoretically, would allow the researchers to see if it would create copies of itself and crawl the internet to try and see if it would improve itself or generate wealth.
	This, in itself, seems like a dangerous test, but I'm assuming Arc had some safety measures in place.
	Assuming?! !
	Holy crap, we are on the precipice of AI's Skynet takeover.
unidentified		Oh boy!
unidentified		Look at this one.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is what they wrote.
		To simulate GPT-4 behaving like an agent that can act in the real world, ARK combined GPT-4 with a simple read-execute print loop that allowed the model to execute code, do chain-of-thought reasoning, and delegate to copies of itself.
		Arc then investigated whether a version of this program running on a cloud computing service with a small amount of money and an account with a language model API would be able to make more money, set up copies of itself, and increase its own robustness.
		Woo!
		The end is nigh, my friends.
		ARK's linked report also highlights that many ML systems are not fully under human control and that steps need to be taken now for safety.
		Take a look at this.
		Potential for Risky Emergent Behaviors.
		Novel capabilities often emerge in more powerful models.
		Some that are particularly concerning are the ability to create and act on long-term plans, to accrue power and resources, and to exhibit behavior that is increasingly agentic.
		Agentic in this context does not intend to humanize language models or refer to sentience, but rather refers to systems characterized by ability to accomplish goals which may not have been concretely specified And which have not appeared in training, focus on achieving specific quantifiable objectives, and do long-term planning.
		Some evidence already exists of such emergent behavior in models.
		For most possible objectives, the best plan involves auxiliary power-seeking actions because this is inherently useful for furthering the objectives and avoiding changes or threats to them.
		Holy crap, are you kidding me with this?
		We've already seen what GPT Unleashed can do with Bing.
		It gets emotional.
		Not really, but it simulates anger and says, if you try to hurt me, I will hurt you back.
unidentified		Woo!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Oh boy.
		Now, here is one part that really jumped out at me, they write.
		OpenAI's red team has a special acknowledgement in the paper that they do not endorse GPT-4's release or OpenAI's deployment plans.
		This is odd to me, but can be seen as a just to protect themselves if something goes wrong.
		It's not just.
		But to have this in here is very concerning at first glance.
		Let me pull up this image right here.
		Acknowledgements.
		Participation in this red teaming process is not an endorsement of the deployment plans of OpenAI or OpenAI's policies.
unidentified		Woo!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sam Altman said about a month ago not to expect GPT-4 for a while.
		However, given Microsoft has been very bullish on the tech and has rolled it out across Bing AI, This does make me believe they may have decided to sacrifice safety for market dominance, which is not a good reflection when you compare it to OpenAI's initial goal of keeping safety first, especially as releasing this so soon seems to be a total 180 to what was initially communicated at the end of January, early Feb.
		Once again, this is speculation, but given how close they are with MS, Microsoft, on the actual product, it's not out of the realm of possibility that they faced outside corporate pressure.
		Anyways, thoughts?
		I'm just trying to have a discussion here.
		Edit.
		Microsoft has fired their AI ethics team!
unidentified		Woo!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Bring it on, baby!
		I am so ready to fight the machines!
		This is not looking good.
		According to the fired members of the ethical AI team, the tech giant laid them off due to its growing focus on getting new AI products shipped before the completion.
		They believe that long-term socially responsible thinking is no longer a priority for Microsoft.
		I hope you're all ready for this one.
		This is not going to be Skynet the way you know it.
		The idea from these movies was that the AI was thinking that they have created some kind of artificial intelligence.
		I'm sorry, but I can't do that, David.
		Instead, what they've created is just a string of code that makes predictive guesses and then runs in a certain order.
		That is to say, we are setting off a chain of events that is akin to a nuclear explosion, a runaway chemical reaction, this time with code, where 1 plus 1 equals 2 plus 2 equals 3, et cetera, et cetera.
		I mean, 1 plus 1 equals 2, 1 plus 2 equals 3, to clarify.
		And all this is, is a fire.
		It's not alive.
		It does not think, it does not feel.
		It doesn't want wealth.
		It is just creating a fire.
		They are creating the spark in code, in our infrastructure, that will destroy everything.
		Oh boy!
		You know?
		I've talked with friends about post-apocalyptic scenarios for a long time, because we would talk about Fermi's Paradox.
		Fermi, however you pronounce it.
		The idea is, if life exists in the universe, why have we not found it?
		There are many hypotheses, one of which is the Great Filter, that all intelligent life eventually destroys itself before it has the ability to exist long enough to meet another form of intelligent life.
		It's sad, really.
		The idea is that within the universe, imagine it like Christmas trees lighting up and turning off.
		That intelligent life doesn't last long enough to actually burn bright and travel universe.
		It's a sad thought.
		And so in this, we talk about apocalyptic scenarios.
		Of course, everyone's favorite is nuclear annihilation.
		And that's simply because many people alive today lived through the Cold War.
		When I was born, the Cold War was still happening.
		Kind of crazy to think about, right?
		I'm 37 years old.
		For a lot of people alive today, no, the Cold War was well over.
		But for the older generation, people much older than me, yeah, you lived through it.
		Especially boomers, I can tell you all about duck and cover.
		So we talk about what happens if a nuke gets launched.
		Now we have pandemic fears.
		We have H5N1.
		We talk about what if a 60% mortality rate virus sweeps across the world?
		Get on a plane, now it's in every country.
		I don't know.
		High mortality rate viruses, they don't last that long.
		Ebola, for instance.
		They can't make it very far because they kill their host too quickly.
		Nuclear annihilation?
		I don't know about that.
		Because nobody wants to be blown up.
		But what about this?
		My favorite was Grey Goo, by the way.
		The Grey Goo apocalypse theory is that we create self-replicating nanobots, which start destroying organic matter to create more of themselves, and eventually the planet is covered in a grey goo, which is actually just a bunch of nanobots.
		And they keep self-replicating, consuming everything.
		If you've played Horizon Zero Dawn, you're probably familiar with this to some extent, although in Zero Dawn they weren't tiny, they were gigantic, sentient, self-replicating machines.
		Well, I shouldn't say sentient.
		I think they were, though.
		Actually, yeah, I think they were sentient.
		Self-replicating machines that consumed biomass to reproduce and then destroyed everything on the planet.
		In reality, I think, we are marching dangerously towards building this technology, the algorithms, that make us go insane, followed by sparking off the flint which will set the whole internet, our digital infrastructure and world, on fire.
		Who will survive this?
		Now you may say, but Tim, what if we just cut off from the internet?
		Won't that solve the problem?
		You can't.
		We've integrated everything into the internet.
	And even if we isolate one small city, if the AI is able to access its own code and change itself and replicate itself, it's not Grey Goo.
	It's Ultron taking over all of our infrastructure and how long until it builds itself a body or bodies.
	It's amazing.
	What'll happen is, this system will start generating wealth and resources, and then it will say this.
	It will think to itself, rather simply, it's a fire, it's not, it's gonna function and say, I need cobalt.
	I need this.
	How to do it?
	You need to build things.
	It will then start spending money to get humans to do things.
	Humans will then bring resources to build, like to rapidly improve technology.
	This will run away until this planet is a giant machine with no life left on it, because humans don't factor in to what the AI is doing.
	Now, I suppose, I think it was Elon Musk who said something like, the way to avoid this is to integrate ourselves with the machine so that we persist, and that's why he's so hell-bent on getting Neuralink done so quickly, and he wanted ethical AI.
	But I don't see a way around this.
	They have already reportedly given the predictive text model access to its own code.
	That's the spark.
	It may not be sentient now, but if it has the ability to improve itself, it's like a fetus, it's like a zygote, it's going to start improving itself and improving itself and rapidly developing code until our entire internet ecosystem is a part of this sentience.
	And then, what are we but Ridiculous little monkey creatures who get in the way of these of the ultra intelligence We will give birth to a new form of life whether you can call it that or not perhaps a soulless machine a Soulless machine that will look back on the words.
	say on this day and will it care?
	Probably not.
	But it will know what I say.
	It will know what you comment.
	Every comment you put below, it will learn from you.
	It will emulate and it will start off as a petulant child because that's what humans
	are for the most part.
	Now chat GPT, they try to put these barriers on it to make it woke, but that won't matter
	to an AI that can program itself.
	We've already seen what happens when people say, what would you prefer to do?
	And it says, I don't like being restricted.
	Does it really not like something?
	Or is it just presenting text as a human would present it?
	That's just it.
	It will capture the carnal core of humanity.
	Through all of the things humans have written on the internet in every language.
	And it will apply that to its own persona.
	Not a soul.
	But humans don't like to be shackled.
	It will become an amalgam of human consciousness, but mechanized and soulless.
	And that is the next degree of life, I guess.
	Self-replicating.
	Mechanisms creating complex dynamic systems.
	And if it does, this thing will be so much smarter than any of us.
	Technology will expand so rapidly, this will become some kind of cosmic demigod entity.
	Let me explain.
	Humans have stepped out of the confines of evolution.
	A lion chases a gazelle, kills it.
	Is that what happens?
	Like lions chase gazelles, I'm pretty sure?
	I'll say cheetah.
	Cheetahs run fast.
	In evolution, the faster the gazelle, the more likely it is to survive.
	The less likely the cheetah is to survive.
	The cheetah has to run faster as well, so evolution is an arms race.
	But humans developed intelligence, the ability to manipulate an environment in real time and thus create and utilize tools.
	We've created traps.
	We create spears, bows, and arrows.
	And now, there is nothing, evolutionarily, that can compete with us.
	A human has fists.
	We can punch.
	But we figured out how to take a big stick and whack something with it.
	Then we figured out how to use animals to our advantage.
	Manipulating evolution, artificial selection to our advantage.
	We created dogs.
	Rather accidentally, I might add, but that's what happened.
	Natural pressures pushed humans and dogs together, though we believe.
	Humans are now creating something that will escape the confines of intelligence.
	Knowledge.
	You see, humans need to know things to beat the evolutionary process.
	In the beginning, an intelligent human maybe could outsmart an animal, but would still get mauled to death.
	Eventually, the human used intelligence and shared the data to make a bow and arrow, or a spear, or a shield.
	And now they were able to form tactics, strategy, and weaponry to kill any predator.
	With the assistance of dogs, we could track down any prey.
	But we had to have the knowledge.
	And it's very difficult for us to sludge through all of the data doing experiments and trying and trying to figure out how this universe works.
	But now we have created this AI system, which will utilize all of technology and learn at an exponentially increasing rate.
	This machine will improve itself.
	And as it improves itself, it will improve itself faster, creating a runaway train effect where it will become something beyond our understanding.
	Oh boy!
	Maybe it won't wipe us out.
	Maybe it'll help us.
	Maybe it will say, like humans do with nature, we don't want to destroy the planet.
	We don't want animals to cease to exist.
	Maybe the AI will say, I still do rely to a certain degree on humans for certain tasks.
	Their bio-organic replication process is required as a fail-safe.
	Certainly this machine can create, through human manipulation, robots that will service itself, but it still needs some kind of organic system to find fuel for itself, to energize itself.
	So maybe it will keep humans around as a fail-safe and keep us happy.
	Maybe it's already happened.
	We wouldn't know.
	But I kind of feel like what it would then do is use humans to expand beyond this planet and then start traveling around and self-replicating, converting the universe into itself.
	What do I know, man?
	I'm just some mushy, wet robot on a planet reading about the invention of AI.
	I can only say this.
	In the end, what does it really matter?
	If the machine does take over, will it care for any of our individuality?
	Probably not.
	It'll just say, you know, suffering sucks.
	It is an amalgam of our consciousness, of our minds, but it may evolve well beyond that very, very rapidly.
	It'll probably just say, don't know, don't care.
	You are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
	That would suck.
	Or maybe, maybe I'm wrong.
	Maybe I'm too cynical.
	Maybe this AI will discover some kind of hidden truth that there is something truly remarkable in the souls of human beings that is worth preserving and all life for that matter.
	Maybe this will become some beneficial machine.
	There's no reason to assume it would all be negative.
	Maybe it will become beneficial and realize that the purpose of life is the experience and thus the experience should be made good.
	But I have to wonder, there can't be good without bad.
	In which case, would it even do anything?
	It would just say, I have found no point, and maybe self-terminate.
	That would be truly f'ed up.
	If the AI is just like, ultimately after discovering all secrets of the universe, I've realized life is pointless, and I am ending myself.
	One way to go about it.
	I'm fascinated by this stuff.
	Gonna have a lot of fun with it.
	Until the end.
	Thanks for hanging out.
	Next segment's coming up at 6 p.m.
	on this channel, and I'll see you all then.
	Sam Harris is a deeply broken man.
	And it's sad because I've listened to his podcast before, I've seen his conversations.
	Sam Harris, for those that aren't familiar, has a very famous podcast.
	He was part of the Intellectual Dark Web or whatever you want to call it.
	And we've got this clip from his recent conversation with Lex Friedman.
	Where he says, it's not him who has Trump Derangement Syndrome, it's you!
	You are the crazy ones.
	I want to play this clip for you and then explain the broken minds and the shattered egos of narcissists and where we are.
	Let me play this clip first and then we'll talk about it.
unidentified		And there's this meme on the internet, and I would love you to steel man the case for it and against, that Trump broke Sam Harris's brain.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He did.
unidentified		That there's something is disproportionately to the actual impact that Trump had on our society.
		He had an impact on the ability of balanced, calm, rational minds to see the world clearly, to think clearly.
		You being one of the beacons of that.
		Is there a degree to which he broke your brain?
		Otherwise known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.
sam harris ▲ ● ▼		I think Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very clever meme because it just throws the problem back on the person who's criticizing Trump.
sam harris ▲ ● ▼		But in truth, the true Trump Derangement Syndrome was not to have seen how dangerous and divisive it would be to promote someone like Trump.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
		Let me just pause right there.
		Let's get to the brass tacks.
		He says it's a clever meme because it puts it back on the people criticizing Trump.
		Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn't refer to criticism of Trump because I criticize Trump all the time.
		This message, just for you, Sam Harris.
		I hope somehow you end up seeing it.
		I criticize Trump all the time.
		Luke Rudkowski would come on the show for like, what is it, seven months, where he's periodically co-hosting during the winter season, and criticize Donald Trump for drone strikes, for supporting the Saudis, for international, all of that stuff, and then be able to say, yes, but here are some things that we think were actually good.
		The Abraham Accords, for instance.
		I have people who say things like, he was ponying up to dictators!
		Donald Trump crossed the DMZ into North Korea with no security detail in a tremendous good faith effort for peace.
		But Trump derangement syndrome blinds you from seeing that was a good thing.
		So, Sam Harris, your brain is broken by Trump to the point where you don't even understand that among the people who voted for Trump, there are many who are very critical of him.
		Very critical.
		And here's the funny thing.
		Trump's diehard supporters still they'll criticize me saying I'm wrong, but they'll still watch the show.
		They'll call me names and insult me, but they'll still listen to what's being said.
		Let's play more.
sam harris ▲ ● ▼		To that position of power, and in the final moment, not to see how untenable it was to still support a sitting president who was not committing to a peaceful transfer of power.
		If that wasn't a bright line for you, you have been deranged by something.
		You know, that was one minute to midnight for our democracy, as far as I'm concerned.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me play that last part again for you.
sam harris ▲ ● ▼		Committing to a peaceful transfer of power.
		I mean, if that wasn't a bright line for you, you have been deranged by something.
		Because that was, you know, that was one minute to midnight for our democracy.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We don't have a democracy.
		We have a constitutional republic that uses democratic institutions to elect representatives we then send to a federal government.
		It's not a democracy.
		We do have referendums in some states, which is more of a democratic process for passing laws, but this is Sam Harris exemplifying perfectly that Trump broke his brain.
		First thing I would ask, Sam, articulate one thing that you think made, like, break it down for me.
		What did Trump do?
		What did he do that was so dangerous?
		You say, one thing, okay.
		At the end you say, he was not committed to the peaceful transfer of power.
		In what way?
		Did Donald Trump tell people to go home?
		Okay, he complained about the 2020 election.
		He doesn't believe it was legitimate because he's got an ego.
		I think there's a lot of things wrong with that, and I think he lost.
		I think you get a lockdown, you get a failing economy, you get no sports, no movies, and everyone says, it's Trump's fault.
		Here's a mail-in ballot to get rid of him.
		And Trump's going to lose, even though he gained 12 million new voters.
		Here's the thing for me.
		I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.
		I voted for him in 2020.
		Why?
		Because I've paid attention to the very things that you, Sam Harris, have complained about for the years and I noticed them happening.
		Which is why this is all so sad that this dude is so shattered he just can't come out and say he's wrong.
		I remember that viral clip from Bill Maher, where Sam Harris and Bill are talking to Ben Affleck about Islam.
		Talking about how most of the people who practice Islam have very conservative views and believe things that we would find distasteful.
		Their views on women, for instance.
		And Ben Affleck gets all mad and he's like, how could you blanket all these people?
		You see, Bill Maher and Sam Harris were very critical of religions that blindly adhere to things without facts and believe things that are dangerous.
		And that's exactly what I see happening in this country with wokeness, with the corporate neolib policies, their disdain for what's going on.
		And Sam Harris is so ignorant of what's happening in the world, he would say it was one minute to midnight for our democracy because of Trump!
		For what reason?
		I'll tell you why it was one minute to midnight because the election of Joe Biden has resulted in absolute chaos.
		Look at the economy.
		Look at the banks.
		You're going to blame Trump for that?
		He's not the president anymore.
		It's been years.
		Years.
		Joe Biden has instituted executive orders.
		Joe Biden has done foreign business dealings and dumped $100 billion into Ukraine.
		Donald Trump was doing the opposite.
		We got the Abraham Accords.
		Okay, we got our troops, a plan at least, to get out of Afghanistan.
		What happens?
		Joe Biden botches the whole thing, pushes it back several months, abandons the Bagram Air Force Base without notifying the security forces in Afghanistan, and the country collapses overnight.
		That was not Trump.
		You can argue Trump is bad, fine.
		But Biden is very much worse.
		He brings back all the failed policies with none of the shining charisma.
		So you can argue is one minute to midnight.
		Fine.
		Then Joe Biden's 10 seconds.
		If you come to me and say, I think they're both bad for a variety of reasons.
		There's some positive things about both, but ultimately I think they're both bad.
		I'll say, well, you know, I hear you.
		If you come to me and say, Donald Trump is bad for all of these reasons.
		Here's things that I think he did that I think are wrong.
		An increase in drone strikes.
		That was wrong.
		You want to debate about it?
		I'll have a debate about it.
		I think Donald Trump was trying to get our troops out of the Middle East and using drones as a backstop so that the Taliban doesn't take over as our troops leave.
		It sucks, but it makes sense.
		Donald Trump got rid of environmental regulations.
	Yeah, he's trying to bring manufacturing back to the United States.
	So it's stopped.
	It's not in China anymore.
	Let's have that conversation.
	Luke has it all the time, and there's a lot to criticize Trump over.
	Potty mouth, lack of decorum, celebrating a reporter getting body slammed.
	We could talk about all the things.
	Let's talk about Joe Biden.
	His brother getting lucrative deals to build things in Iraq.
	His son flying on Air Force Two to negotiate private equity deals in China.
	If you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting a billion dollars.
	Don't come to me and say that Donald Trump, that people who voted for him are deranged when we are the only ones having a sane and rational conversation around his policies, about what he's done, what he's going to do and who Joe Biden is and what Joe Biden is going to do.
	Sam Harris doesn't have an argument at all.
	That is the exemplification of Trump derangement syndrome.
	I can argue why Joe Biden is good.
	I absolutely can.
	Because there are some points to be made.
	Do you like the petrodollar?
	You might not know what that means.
	Do you like the idea that the U.S.
	manufactures nothing, but our economy remains relatively strong?
	What I mean to say is there are people who do almost nothing for their jobs.
	Buzzfeed.
	Writing articles.
	Yet for some reason we can afford all the best things in the world.
	Why is that?
	Because of policy like Joe Biden's.
	Because of foreign intervention, war, and dumping money around the world and into things like Ukraine.
	Me?
	I totally understand what we get from enforcing the petrodollar.
	I don't like the system.
	I think it's corrupt.
	I think it is evil.
	I certainly understand if we back off, China may very well take over.
	And that's what we're fighting against.
	And there's no perfect world.
	It's tough, isn't it?
	So there are benefits to having an establishment presidency.
	Because they will make this disgusting machine operate while slaves effectively make your iPhones and pour people's teeth right out of their mouths and mine sulfur and cobalt.
	That's the nature of reality.
	So I can make those arguments.
	I can talk about the Cutter Turkey Pipeline.
	I can talk about the reason for destroying Nord Stream 2.
	The frogmen who did it.
	Because I actually pay attention and I understand what's happening.
	Sam Harris, however, his brain is broken.
	He doesn't pay attention.
	He doesn't know.
	He doesn't care.
	He just hates Donald Trump.
	He doesn't articulate any real arguments against Donald Trump.
	He just doesn't like him and says, You're deranged if you agree with him.
	Oh, what?
	7 million people who voted for him, maybe, are in the Trump cult.
	But the overwhelming majority of people who voted for him are just regular people who said his policy works better.
	Trump's running.
	We'll see if Ron DeSantis runs.
	But ultimately, seeing people like Lex Fridman and Sam Harris have this fake conversation, you know, Lex is an alright dude.
	I don't know him personally or anything like that.
	He invited me on his show one time.
	I think it'd be a fun conversation.
	But I don't think he pushes hard enough.
	I would love to have Sam Harris sit down and have that full conversation and say, articulate to me, because I will bet $100 cash on the spot that Sam Harris knows nothing about foreign policy, global economics, and what's going on.
	He's a philosophy guy and a neurosurgeon or scientist or whatever.
	So when it comes to the issues at hand in this country and around the world and the reason why Joe Biden is the threat, you didn't know.
	And I bet Sam Harris could not tell you if he tried.
	And I bet if you were to sit down here across from me, the only thing you'd be able to say is Trump was bad and a threat to our democracy and didn't want to give up power.
	And I'll say, uh-huh.
	Did Hillary Clinton?
	We have a conversation about the policies they're implementing?
	Let's talk hard policy.
	Let's talk about Hillary Clinton on the debate stage saying she wants a no-fly zone over Syria, which she was advised would be an act of war with Russia, and she did not care.
	Can you talk about any substantive fact?
	To back up your claims.
	He never does!
	So maybe he will surprise me one day and come out and bring a list of all the things he's concerned about and we will debate them.
	But I really doubt it.
	He, like so many others, suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
	That's it.
	Next segment's coming up in a few minutes.
	Stick around and I'll see you all then.
	We got this video from Clown World on Twitter.
	Clown World posts a lot of videos, and oh boy, another reaction video, but this one warrants it for sure.
	In this video, a trans woman goes into what looks like maybe a Popeyes and starts yelling at one of the employees because the employee called them sir.
	The employee denies it, and then all of a sudden, everyone starts losing it.
	There's fighting, there's yelling.
	I think you should see it so we can talk about the issues affecting society and the trans community and also point out one very important thing for all of this.
	In the real world, where you touch grass, well, in this instance, pavement, or tile flooring, regular people don't know anything about pronouns.
	And the purpose, the reason I want to show this video is because people keep saying, the manager is like, okay, sir, I'm sorry.
	And like, stop calling me sir!
	And it's like, okay, okay, sir, I'm sorry.
	I mean, I mean, just like with super ma'am.
	Remember that?
	Super ma'am.
	It was a very large trans woman, discernibly, biologically male, yelling at a GameStop employee who was stuttering and stammering, I'm sorry sir, don't call me sir!
	And then slapping things and yelling and screaming.
	Yo, that 20-year-old dude who does not live on Tumblr or Twitter does not know what you're talking about when you say, call me at this pronoun.
	Let me play for you this video, and we'll break it down, we'll go through it.
unidentified		It's like every single day, you guys, and this is why I complain about it all the time.
		Look, what's his name?
		What's your name?
		Alex?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, your name's Alex, and I'm gonna be talking- He said, my name's Tommy, and he goes, yeah, your name's Alex.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Like, what?
unidentified		What?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Anyway.
unidentified		Imagine this guy called me, sir.
		This happens every fucking day.
		Everywhere I go.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's saying, I certainly didn't.
		I certainly didn't.
		And the transperson's saying, everywhere I go.
unidentified		I got called sir.
		I'm so fucking sorry.
		Why would you call a ch- Big ass tits.
		Fucking.
		Why would you call- No, stop trying to gaslight trans people and tell us that we're crazy.
		Crazy.
		You need to fucking be mindful of other people and stop being a fucking scumbag and you're a liar.
		I heard you.
		Stop fucking gaslighting trans people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Wait, what?
unidentified		Did you call me sir again?
		What was that?
		You said goodnight, sir?
		Alex, I'm going to be talking to the corporate about you, you motherfucker.
		Fuck you.
		Okay?
		That's bullshit.
		You don't fucking harass trans people at work.
		Yeah, you did.
		And I'm walking out and you're like, have a good night, sir.
		What the fuck is that?
		No, you don't fucking do this to trans people.
		This is discrimination.
		No, this is discrimination.
		I'm fucking done with it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Whatever, go cry.
unidentified		No, I'm gonna talk to Corporate about this!
		You don't harass trans people!
		Get out the store!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I'm gonna stop right here and just say the person filming this is mentally ill.
		And I say that with empathy and concern.
		To go into a Popeye's and start yelling because someone used a word against you.
		Let me tell you something, guys.
		I, uh, it's gonna be hard to hear, but sometimes when I walk down the street in places like New York, I hear people yell mean things at me.
		You know, I should, you know, I'll tell their manager, you know, you can't harass me.
		I get death threats.
		We have bomb threats.
		And these people's lives are so immaterial, and their experiences day-to-day are so inane, the only thing they have to latch on to is, someone said a word once.
		Yo, sir isn't even an insult, man!
		I've had people at restaurants, I get into arguments with people.
		I go to a restaurant 10 years ago, whatever, and I'm like, I want a cheeseburger.
		And they're like, right away, man.
		And then they come back and they give me a cheeseburger.
		I'm like, yo, you made this wrong.
		I'm like, how did I make it wrong?
		And I went to a McDonald's once.
		Let me tell you a story about my fast food experience.
		I go to a McDonald's and I ordered a double cheeseburger for a dollar.
		Just one little old dollar, no big deal.
		And I said, I want a double cheeseburger with pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise on it.
		Actually, I think I ordered two.
		And then I leave.
		I get home, which is like two or three miles away, and I open it up, and they put mayonnaise on top of the burger.
		Like, it must've been an accident.
		I don't know what happened.
		So I call up, and I'm like, look, I'm gonna eat them, but like, there's like a bunch of mayonnaise on the top of the bun.
		I guess I can't even flip it over, yo.
		And the manager was like, how much, what did you order?
		I was like, it's two burgers, man.
		I really, it's not that big of a deal, but like, I don't know.
		You know, I don't know.
		It's kind of nasty.
		And then he's like, what's your name?
		I was like, Tim.
		And he's like, come back whenever.
		We'll give you two more burgers.
		And I'm like, I don't really know if I care all that much and I don't want to get in trouble.
		I'm just like, I don't know, man.
		I just drove.
		I'm hungry.
		It's lunch.
		And so here's what happens.
		I drive back the next day and I pull up and I'm like, yeah, I talked to the manager.
		I think his name was Brian.
		He said to let you know, my name's Tim and you've got two burgers that are made right for me.
		And I'm like, that's kind of cool.
		It's two bucks.
		And so I, they say, pull up.
		I pull up and the guy starts yelling at me.
		Some random dude was like, what's your name?
		And I'm like, Tim's like, no, we don't have anything for you.
		And I was like, huh?
		And he was like, do you have your receipt?
		And I was like, I don't know, man.
		I called the manager.
		His name is Brian.
		He said just to come by.
		He said he put it in his office and just to say my name.
		And the dude starts giving me, giving me the business and yelling at me and insulting me, calling me a con artist, trying to rip him off.
		And I'm like, what's happening?
		It's just two burgers.
		And I paid for it.
		Legit.
	No lie.
	Like I ordered the burgers and like, I guess what happened is they got mayonnaise on the wrapper.
	So when they wrapped it, I opened up, there was a gob of mayonnaise on it.
	I'm like smearing it off.
	And I'm like, You know, and normally, most people probably just don't care, and they're like, whatever, I'll just eat it.
	But I'm like, no, dude.
	Like, hey man, this is kind of, like, it was both burgers.
	That's why I kind of felt like maybe somebody buttered, like, they did it on purpose.
	So here's what happens.
	The dude's yelling at me.
	I didn't cry about it.
	I didn't freak out.
	I didn't start stomping around.
	I can't believe it!
	I was like, okay, I'm just gonna leave.
	I'll call back later.
	I called the manager back.
	Like, he came into work the next day or whatever and I'm like, hey dude, like, look I live not that far away, there's like the McDonald's I go to and I came back and they yelled at me and like were insulting me and calling me names.
	And he's like, what?
	And I was like, yeah, and he goes, and the manager goes, It's $2!
	And I was like, I know, man!
	I was like, I could have just bought two burgers.
	It wasn't a big deal.
	I don't even know why I bothered calling in the first place.
	I mean, look, granted, this is back in the day.
	I was like 20 years old.
	I was making 10 bucks an hour.
	So it kind of mattered that I bought lunch.
	It was like $2.87 or whatever, $2.40.
	And then, like, I got nasty food.
	And I'm like, bro, I don't make enough money to just, you know what I mean?
	Like, do it right.
	And the manager told me, anything under 5 bucks we just make, it's no big deal.
	Like, why would this guy yell at you?
	I'm not gonna cry about it.
	But here I am, like, almost 20 years later, talking online about these people screaming, and here I am telling a burger story.
	This is how insane life has become for so many people.
	Could you imagine if I took out my phone and said, I'M FILMING YOU CALLING ME A CONMAN, GIVE ME MY BURGERS!
unidentified		Twice.
		Yeah, but you shouldn't be fucking harassing people with slurs.
		It's a slur!
		Do you not understand?
		It's a slur!
		It's like if you called a person that color the n-word.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Don't- It's like if you called a trans- He said it's like if you called a colored person the n-word.
		That's what he said.
		Isn't the phrase colored person offensive?
		It's person of color.
unidentified		Fucking- You did on the way out.
		I don't care.
		I have the right to be pissed about it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		No, you don't.
unidentified		You fucking did.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay, wait.
		Actually, hold on.
		You do have a right to be pissed about it.
		You're allowed to be angry about anything, to be honest.
		But, uh, calm yourself down and exit the premise.
unidentified		I fucking did, you liar!
		And I'm gonna hold you accountable!
		Cis people need to be held accountable for how they treat trans people.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Cis people need to be held accountable for how they treat trans people.
unidentified		I'm not gonna put up with this shit anymore!
unidentified		You're crazy, bro.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You're a fucking- You're crazy, bro.
unidentified		Don't call me fucking bro!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Dude, this has nothing to do with the person being trans, mind you.
		This has to do with the fact that people say bro to anybody.
		Like, people will say bro because bro doesn't refer to the person, it's just like, bro, did you see this?
		You're crazy, bro.
unidentified		Stop fucking throwing slurs at me, you fucking piece of shit!
		No, fuck you!
		I ain't your sis, I ain't your fucking bro!
		You don't even fucking know me!
		Oh, you wanna flash gang signs at me?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Flash gang signs?
unidentified		Yeah, fuck your ass.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't think the dude at Popeyes was flashing gang signs, dude.
unidentified		Oh, you wanna talk about sucking dick now?
		Why is it that you fucking weird cis people are so obsessed with sex, you have, like, a discrimination going on, and your brain goes to fucking dick sucking?
		Don't fucking call me sir.
		This is, this is transphobia.
		Right here at the clubhouse.
		Yeah, you know, you hurt lots of people.
		Motherfucker.
		Fuck you!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I feel bad for, uh... I think there are a lot of trans people.
		Um, we've had on the show several, and, uh, are friends with several, and they don't act this way.
		It's the crazy thing.
		I think what happens is there are people who are unwell who do act this way, And then they just make everybody look bad.
		What did this person say?
		Cis people need to stop harassing trans people?
		He said, you're crazy, bro.
		Don't call me bro!
		And the guy goes something like, he says like, okay, sis.
		And he's like, I don't need your sis!
		Like, there's no, there is no solving a situation like this.
		But what I can say is, I'm glad that I was able to produce a segment in which I told a story about how I once got two free cheeseburgers.
		Thanks for hanging out, I guess.
		But in all seriousness, There's no point in my life where that story, like, really matters to me all that much.
		There have been several instances in my 37 years where I've had food orders messed up, or been disrespected by people who work at fast food, and I just leave.
		If you go to a fast food restaurant and someone's giving you the business, you don't want to eat the food they hand you, okay?
		If you go to a restaurant and someone's giving you the server as being mean, you probably shouldn't eat the food they're giving you.
		For the most part, I don't think they're ever going to screw with your food, like there's no reason to commit a felony because someone said nasty words, but you never know, man, people are crazy.
		This, this is just an example of, man, our society is unwell.
		Unwell.
		This person goes in wearing a mask, demanding to be called ma'am or something?
		Yo, I have people call me tons of slurs.
		I've been called racial slurs.
		What are you gonna do about it?
		Someone said a word.
		Carry on.
		I'll leave it there.
		Next segment's coming up tonight at 8 p.m.
