Now, let's get into that first story.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump shattered the record for a single event fundraiser, bringing in $50.5 million, shattering Joe Biden's triple presidential Lizzo fundraiser, where they brought in $25 million.
Of course, the big news today has nothing to do with record fundraising, but everything to do with Donald Trump saying that Joe Biden soiled himself At the coveted Resolute Desk.
Yes, that's right.
We lead with only the most important stories, and that is Donald Trump saying, quite literally, that he said Joe Biden soiled the Resolute Desk, and I mean that literally.
And here's the big story, but Trump is a master of shattering the image of individuals in marketing.
I don't know that Joe Biden actually soiled himself at the Resolute Desk.
I do have the science!
To back up, and the stats, the claim and probabilities of whether or not Joe Biden actually did.
And my friends, according to science, well 42.3% of elderly people require diapers.
That includes Donald Trump.
Okay, but Donald Trump, he knows how to brand this.
And right now, the image of Joe Biden is feeble.
And incapable, lacking mental capabilities.
So, of course, Donald Trump is going to hit him where it hurts in a humiliating fashion.
Now, onto the real news.
Donald Trump raised a record $50.5 million.
So what does the media have to say about this?
Instead of running headlines like they did for Joe Biden, where they said, Joe Biden shatters record with Obama, Clinton, Biden fundraiser, Lizzo was there.
Instead, they run the story.
Joe Biden's record haul surpasses, maintains lead against Donald Trump.
That's right.
When you look up the news.
Even though Donald Trump, as of this weekend, has the record for any presidential campaign, the news is that Joe Biden's widened his lead against Donald Trump.
Now, here's the fascinating thing.
I did the math, ladies and gentlemen, because that's what we do here at Tim Guest Journalism, and you've got the Biden campaign saying, yeah, well, you know, Donald Trump, his, his, he may have raised money, but we got nurses and teachers.
One guy goes on MSNBC and says Donald Trump's donors are all scammers and racist billionaires.
My friends, I did the math.
The majority of Donald Trump's donors are small, small donors.
The majority of Joe Biden's donors are greater than $500 donors.
I believe I have the charts pulled up.
But Joe Biden's donors lean slightly towards the wealthy.
Donald Trump's donors lean slightly towards the poor.
Now, they're going to try and make this claim that Donald Trump's getting all the billionaires.
That's how he's making this money.
Well, the reality is Donald Trump got a handful of really wealthy individuals at this PAC fundraiser.
But for his campaign, it is more so, mostly, small-dollar donors.
And that's bad news for Democrats trying to maintain this narrative that they are the party of the people.
No, they're the party of the wealthy, my friends.
Now, of course, it is Eclipse Day, and so by where we are at in West Virginia, we're looking at around a three o'clock beginning of the eclipse, and that's all anyone cares about, so I have to mention that, right?
Let's read the news, starting with why Donald Trump said Joe Biden soiled the Resolute Desk.
Yeah.
From the Daily Mail, Donald Trump suggests Joe Biden soiled the coveted Resolute Desk as he blasts President over border policy in comments made at investor dinner where he raised $50.5 million.
Now what I love about this is they say he implied it.
Oh boy.
Donald Trump has implied Joe Biden defecated on the Resolute Desk.
Oh, man.
Implied Joe Biden defecated on the Resolute Desk during a billionaire's fundraiser in Palm Beach.
A source told the New York Times Trump made the remarks during a 45-minute presentation at a dinner hosted by investor John Paulson Saturday night.
The comments came as Trump lambasted Biden's border policy and mocked him for making poor decisions behind the Resolute Desk, which was gifted to the US by Queen Victoria in 1880.
The Resolute Desk is beautiful, Trump proclaimed.
Ronald Reagan used it.
Others used it.
He then sounded disgusted, according to the unnamed attendee, and he's using it.
I might not use it the next time.
It's been soiled.
And I mean that literally, which is sad.
I don't think Trump was saying that Joe Biden literally jumped up on the Resolute Desk and relieved himself all over it.
I think what he's implying is that Joe Biden soiled himself at the Resolute Desk.
Now, the Daily Mail wants to interpret that as defecating on the Resolute Desk because it's 2024 and we live in a simulation.
It's a comedy show, apparently, and we're only allowed to have the funniest things.
The funniest, ladies and gentlemen.
The source reported that guests broke into laughter, interpreting the remark as the former president saying that Biden had defecated on the desk.
Trump said, I mean that literally?
Yeah, I think, I think when you look at the data, there's a strong possibility that Joe Biden soiled himself while working in the Oval Office.
I think, look man, I don't think any casino would play that game.
The house edge would be like minus 20%.
They'd be like, we're gonna lose.
Joe Biden probably soils himself a lot.
The remarks followed a tirade against Biden's immigration policy, which includes migrants being shipped in, brought in, deposited into our country, according to Trump.
The former president claimed the newly arrived migrants make the Hell's Angels look like extremely nice people.
These are people coming in from prisons and jails.
They're coming in from just unbelievable places and countries, countries that are a disaster.
He then appeared to reference a comment from 2018 when he dubbed Haiti, El Salvador, and a slew of African nations, ish whole countries.
And when I said, you know, why can't we allow people to come in from nice countries?
I'm trying to be nice, Trump said.
Nice countries, you know, like Denmark, Switzerland.
Do we have any people coming in from Denmark?
How about Switzerland?
How about Norway?
Trump has accused migrants of poisoning the blood of the country and made similar comments during a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan last week, accusing Biden of unleashing a bloodbath at the country's southern border.
Under crooked Joe Biden, every state is now a border state.
Every town is now a border town because Joe Biden has brought the carnage and chaos and killing from all over the world and dumped it straight into our backyards, Trump said.
His concerns have been echoed by other conservative politicians, like Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn.
Thank you for the exposition, Daily Mail.
But the news is that Donald Trump said Joe Biden defecated on the Resolute Desk.
Well, I decided to pull up some facts and science.
And I mean this in no way disrespectful to the average elderly individual.
But, um, according to... I don't know what this website is.
It's just what you get when you Google it.
About 42.3% of the elderly population uses diapers or pads.
This can have an interference in living costs.
A study in the home environment showed that absorbent materials represent 63% of total costs of the elderly patient.
That's a lot.
And again, I mean this with no disrespect, elderly people have problems holding it in.
And that's why they sell diapers.
That's why when you go to the grocery store, they actually have Depends.
Okay?
And you know, I think, I warn all of you younger people, not to mock.
There's jokes about this stuff.
But, you know, one day your time will come.
One day you'll be sitting there, and you will be old, and you will crap your pants, and you'll be like, maybe I shouldn't have made fun of these people.
My point is simply this.
The likelihood that Joe Biden took a dump into his pants at the Resolute Desk, I think it's fairly high.
Okay?
Because even if Joe Biden is feeling fine, you know, what, one time it happens?
There already were rumors circulating that Joe Biden soiled himself while on a trip, I think, to the Vatican.
I can't remember exactly where.
Because he was super late for... This is funny because he was like late for a speech or something and then he showed up wearing different clothes and I'm like... Someone could have spilled wine on him.
You know what I mean?
Like, you don't have to make the... But hey, look!
You know, humiliation's the name of the game.
Well, here we are, my friends.
Politico, Trump campaign, says it raised more than $50 million at Saturday fundraiser.
This is the actual big news, it's just not nearly as fun.
Former President Trump raised more than $50 million at a Saturday evening fundraiser, where he once again pressed President Joe Biden to debate him, according to a campaign aide.
Trump spoke for about 45 minutes before 117 seated guests, according to the aide, who was granted anonymity to speak freely.
Trump is pushing to close a massive cash disadvantage against Biden.
According to figures released by the two campaigns, Biden ended March with $192 million on hand, more than twice as much as Trump.
Attendees at Saturday evening's event were asked to donate as much as $814,000.
Trump is set to- I pause there thinking like, so?
Ask him to donate $10 million?
Whatever, what's the number for?
Trump is set to hold another high-dollar fundraiser on Wednesday in Atlanta.
During his private remarks, Trump reiterated his call for Biden to debate him.
According to The Aid, after refusing himself to participate in the Republican primary debates, Biden said last month that his willingness to debate would depend on Trump's behavior, which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Sorry.
The event was held at the Palm Beach, Florida, home of billionaire investor John Paulson.
Other major donors in attendance included the New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, energy executive Harold Hamm, and sugar mogul Pepe Fajul Sr.
Ah, the sugar mogul!
I don't know about all that sugar.
Former First Lady Melania Trump was also present.
Melania has largely been absent from the trail during her husband's 2024 campaign, but she's beginning to re-emerge.
Later this month, she is set to host a fundraiser for the log cabin Republicans.
Oh, that's cool.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, they've taken it too kindly.
I think it's absolutely hilarious that when Biden raises $25 million, and they got Obama, Biden, Clinton, Lizzo, and others showing up, and they're like, let's go!
Democrats, yeah, and they raised $25 million in the media funds.
Oh, they broke a record!

See, the thing is, the reason why Trump doesn't have the cash on hand that Biden does is because
they're trying to put him in prison.
And so a lot of this fundraising is going towards Trump's legal fees.
That was always the plan.
They may not actually want to put Trump in prison.
I think they do, but I'm saying they know that whether they want to or not, Putting this pressure on him, making him spend millions on legal fees, is a way to cheat.
The Democrats are cheating.
Let me stress it again.
You got these psychopaths going on TV or going on TikTok and being like, Trump was indicted!
They're cheating!
Okay?
That's it.
There's nothing else.
They're cheating.
Trump is the frontrunner in the polls.
They're trying, they're putting legal pressure on him, civil pressure and criminal pressure to strip him of his ability to actually compete.
They're strapping, they've cemented blocks to his feet because they know he's faster than Biden.
They are cheating.
Well, now you get this.
I love this one.
So when Biden raises all this money, it's, oh wow, it's amazing.
When Trump doubles it, they go, they're scammers!
Look at this.
Biden campaign accuses Trump of hosting scammers, racists, and extremists at Palm Beach Fundraiser.
President Biden's campaign has accused, as we heard this, Trump's Saturday evening fundraiser held in Palm Beach, Florida, at the home of billionaire John Paulson, is being co-chaired by business mogul Robert Bigelow and Linda McMahon and real estate developer Steve Wynn, blah, blah, blah.
The guest list, blah, blah, blah.
The Biden campaign senior spokesperson, Serafina Chetika, made an incendiary remark about the event on Friday, accusing Trump of inviting racists and extremists Quote, if you want to know who Donald Trump will fight for in a second term, just look at who he is having over for dinner Saturday night.
Tax cheats, scammers, racists, and extremists.
Chittika?
Chittika?
I don't know.
Said in a statement to The Hill.
That's right.
Make no mistake, Donald Trump will do the bidding of his billionaire buddies instead of what is best for the American people.
He'll take their checks and cut their taxes and leave hard-working people behind, shipping their jobs overseas, gutting Social Security and Medicare, ripping away health care protections and banning abortion.
Okay.
So Trump is the candidate of ending the TPP.
You know what that is?
That's called the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
This was an international trade agreement, which basically, well, it would have given foreign governments and corporations the ability to sue us, and it would have given leverage to foreign countries with a treaty over our commerce.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership would have opened up free trade, literally sending your jobs overseas, and Donald Trump comes right into office.
One of the first things he does is he shuts it down.
Oh boy, were the powerful industrialist globalist class pissed off when he did that.
The funny thing is, many occupiers, many leftists, opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership too.
Even Bernie Sanders.
Donald Trump wanted to secure the border and bring jobs back to this country, started a trade war over it.
And what happened?
In Michigan, auto manufacturing returned.
A $3 billion investment.
Because Trump said it then, he said it again recently.
If you make your cars in China, Mexico, wherever, we will put a tariff on them so high no one will ever buy your car again.
It'll make it too expensive.
Protectionist, I suppose, if that's the right word.
But, preserving American jobs, and protecting the American auto industry.
So if you work in the Rust Belt, and you work in the auto industry, Trump's your guy.
And if you support Biden, you don't have a job.
And I think that's already been the case.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they, as soon as Biden gets elected, they already are like, woohoo, we're going back to Mexico!
You see, here's the thing.
What do these people want?
Normalized international economics.
They want the average income of all nations to be the same.
They want global equality in income.
They want it so that if you're born in Mexico and you're middle class, you'll make the same amount as someone in the United States.
If you're born in, let's just say South Africa or Zimbabwe, it's still called Zimbabwe, I don't know, you will make the same thing.
That's their goal.
So where they're starting now is with the North American bloc.
They're obviously trying it in Europe.
The Euro had devastating consequences when they did this.
So I was in Spain, and before the Euro, Spain had the Peseta.
I believe, I don't know.
I'm not a big expert on Spain.
But I was hanging out with my friend who's an activist, and they said, why are they protesting?
Well, you used to wake up, go to get a newspaper, one Peseta.
You'd get a coffee and a muffin.
One, one.
Then, one day, they said, we're now gonna be on the euro instead of the local currencies.
And they switched.
All of a sudden, you are now having to use euros.
And the newspaper?
Don't worry.
It only costs one euro.
Right?
The problem was that the exchange rate for the poseta was 3 to 1.
For every 3 poseta, you got 1 euro, which meant the cost of goods tripled overnight.
What happens?
The countries that were impacted by this needed loans.
And now they're in debt to Germany.
So people were really pissed off about this.
This is what they want.
In the North American bloc.
They want to send your jobs to Mexico to create middle class conditions in Mexico with your jobs and your goods and then they'll print the money that we will use to buy them and then eventually what this means is your standard of living will go down and theirs will go up.
I don't think that's any of our business and our responsibilities to our citizens.
Trump wanted to keep America as the shining city on the hill and the Democrats want everyone to be equal.
They want to cut off the tall grass.
Well, let's get into those numbers, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, how fun.
Voice of America.
Biden's fundraiser with Obama-Clinton nets record $26 million.
That was the news, right?
Well, here we go.
Biden campaign reacts to Trump's single-event fundraising record.
Well, what does this man here have to say?
This is an interview with Voice of America.
President Joe Biden's re-election campaign downplayed the single-event fundraising record.
I would like to hear this man's words from his own mouth.

We are powered by working people and that is a stark contrast to Donald Trump's campaign.

And this is what's gonna win elections.
tim pool
All right.
Well, how about we do the math, ladies and gentlemen?
I'd like you to take a look at this.
Donor demographics, presidential election 2024.
Now, we got a whole bunch of numbers here on this year's screen, but don't worry, my friends.
I did the legwork pulling up a spreadsheet and adding all the numbers together for you.
It took me a whole one minute to do, but you don't even need to do it, honestly.
Donors between $200 and $499.
So, this is Joe Biden.
You got what looks to be about 42,000 to 41,000 or so.
unidentified
It looks like 42,000.
tim pool
And that's the number of donors between 200 and 499.
From 500 to 1,000, looks like you have around 22.
So it looks like 42,000.
And that's number of donors between 200 and 499.
From 500 to 1,000, looks like you have around 22.
From 1,000 to $3,000, looks like about 15.
1,000, 15,000, sorry.
3,000 plus?
Looks like you have about 6.
And then finally, 5,600.
Look at this.
Looks like you have about 4,000.
Just shy of 4,000, right?
Let's pop over to our good friend Donald Trump.
Donald Trump's big dollar donors?
157 females, 267 males.
157 females, 267 males.
This is not...
These are not big donors.
You take a look.
Actually, you know what?
Let's just bypass all the hoo-ha and him-ham and whatever.
Here's the actual spreadsheet breakdown.
This is Joe Biden's small dollar donors.
I shouldn't say small dollar, but between 200.
So this is not calculating.
I am not calculating below the $20 number.
Or the $200 number.
Just from the federal election data we have right here.
And I will stress this point.
There probably are very different numbers pertaining to those under $200.
Totally acknowledge that.
All I'm doing is looking at OpenSecrets and taking the contribution details that they have available, running these numbers together.
Keep in mind.
When it comes to the actual $20 donors, there are numbers we do not have here.
But at least among the available data from OpenSecrets, I can tell you this.
The majority of donors... Here we go.
There's a spreadsheet.
47,340 are 500 plus for Joe Biden.
7,340 are 500 plus for Joe Biden.
40,000 are 200 to 500.
That's actually a lot more.
Five hundred dollar plus donors.
And all I'm showing you this for is not to claim that the under 200s are different.
It's a show for Donald Trump.
It's inverted.
He's got 56000 donors at two to 500 and only 49500 plus.
Now, to be fair, he's got more donors than Joe Biden does in this data set.
So, when the guy says, yeah, but we have a bunch of teachers, that's in contrast to Trump's campaign, I don't think that's a fair assessment.
The ratio of larger donors, Biden has a larger ratio of higher dollar donors in this data set than Trump does.
So, not only does Trump have more donors, they're actually more likely to be giving between $200 and $499.
Don't play that game.
Don't play that game.
Now, I did quickly try to look up donors that were under that amount, and I'll try and do it one more time real quick.
Let's see.
Let's look at this.
Total Trump under $200 donors.
Because you get a bunch of weird stuff and a bunch of old stuff, so... Yeah, when you try and search for this, it's not as fast.
I'm sure I could pull it up, but... What is this?
The GOP's big donor problem?
Let's see.
It looks like it looks like they're saying Trump's got a problem and that big donors don't want to give it.

Hey, take a look at this.
Let's just pull this data up.
In 2020, big donors who gave 100K or more contributed only to Democrats,
who contributed only to Democrats gave 5.2 billion.
Only big donor, uh, chip, uh, only, only Republican big donors have given $3.3 billion.
A huge number that nevertheless left them trailing by almost $2 billion.
So what do they have to, is it, what, what is this?
This is from April 1st.
So, my understanding was that, uh, they say, At the presidential level in 2020, 45% of Trump's cash came from small donors.
Those giving $200 or less, while 38% of Biden's haul came from that group.
Let's see if I can do this real quick.
Open secrets.
Trump small donors.
See if they have that data.
Okay, looks like they do.
Small dollar donations as a percentage of total fundraising.
That was easy.
Should have done that one in the first place.
Hey, look at this.
This is for 2020.
Let's see if I can try and pull up 2024.
Donald Trump obviously surpassed.
Let's see what we have.
We have small donors.
We want to go to presidential elections 2024.
And small donors.
And does Trump take the cake?
Cornel West.
Let's see.
Joe Biden is currently higher small dollar donors than Donald Trump.
Totally, totally can expect, can respect that data point as of right now.
So we'll see.
We'll see.
When they claim that Trump's got all of these scammers, billionaires, or otherwise, when it comes to $200 to $5,600 plus, Trump actually beats Joe Biden.
Right now, according to Open Secrets, Joe Biden does have 46.73% are coming from small donors.
That's interesting.
It's interesting.
Well, there we go.
And then you can see everybody else in the mix.
We'll see how this changes, though.
Right now you've got Marion Williamson, Cornel West, RFK Jr.
I do think it's interesting they make RFK Jr.
red.
Dean Phillips.
I wonder how this number could change when you begin to eliminate all these other individuals and we ramp up the election cycle.
For the time being though, I'll give Biden that one.
They have been.
And this is something you should pay attention to because if Joe Biden does have a large portion of his funds coming from small donors and Trump's donors are between 200 and 5,600, it's going to be an interesting race.
But, I suppose, the only thing that really matters is, did Joe Biden soil himself at the Resolute Desk?
At least that'll be the PR campaign, and that'll be the game we're playing.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 1 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
A far-right movement claims the eclipse is a sign of the end of days.
Why these seemingly fringe beliefs are more ominous than you think.
Because they're true!
I am putting this up.
By the time you're watching this, you may already be watching the eclipse, depending on where you are in the United States.
I believe by the time you're seeing this in Texas, you will already be in the eclipse.
For us, I'm putting this video up at 1 p.m.
on the 8th, so we're still a couple hours away on the East Coast in the D.C.
area from the eclipse.
But the conspiracies are running wild, so of course, let's roll with it.
In this special, there is an eclipse again, and they happen quite a bit, and for some reason, people think it's the end of days story.
Let's talk about the far-right claims.
I love how it's gotta be far-right.
Like, there's no leftist, religious, spiritual, or conspiracy.
unidentified
It's always right-wing, always.

Okay.
Alright, Toronto Star, tell us what's really going on.
And then, my friends, I got bad news for you.
The plagues have returned.
In the next few, that's where it gets bad.
And we may be at one of the last plagues.
Of course, the last being the death of the firstborn son.
I'm kidding, by the way!
Calm down, Media Matters.
All right.
So, uh, the Toronto Star.
One sign, and if you find the right corner of the internet, there are many, many signs, is that Monday's total eclipse passed over a city with a portentous name.
Rapture, Indiana.
Okay, I don't really care about what this lady has to say.
But we do have this from USA Today.
The eclipse is upon us, and so are the conspiracies.
It's possible, even good, to enjoy it.
All right, well, uh, solar eclipse conspiracies are, here we go.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says, God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent.
Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come.
I pray our country listens.
The context is there are approximately 7,900 earthquakes in the US every year, about four per day.
Solar eclipses occur approximately every 18 months and are able to be predicted well in advance.
And there's a list of future eclipses and where they can be viewed.
This is the funny thing about the eclipse.
There are people who chase eclipses, because you can travel faster than the eclipses happen.
And actually, let's see if we can pull up the list of future eclipses.
Look at this, you go up to 2100.
So you can actually just... Okay, I think it's stupid they're doing it by state.
We don't need to do that.
Is that how they're really doing it?
What I'd like to do is by time.
2000 to 2050, so let's see.
We're in October 14, 2023.
April 8, 2024, that's where we're currently at.
And so, really, is it the... Wow, I guess they are a bit more rare than I thought.
But if you were to go to October with the annular eclipse, so annular is when the moon is a little further away so it doesn't completely cover out every part of the sun, there's a bigger ring around it.
And then now we're getting the total eclipse.
I suppose what people are freaking out is because the last one was 2017, and the last total eclipse was 1991.
That's kind of crazy, actually, if you think about it.
Well, okay, look at this.
The next total, the next eclipse will be a total eclipse in March 30th, 2033.
So a bit more rare than I initially thought.
But I know that people, there are people who travel around the world every time an eclipse is coming and they go check it out.
Then an annular 2039, a total in 2044.
So I suppose they are more rare, I'll stress that again, than I actually initially thought.
And we've got a couple more total coming up 2025.
And so we can actually predict these things.
That being said, it's 2024, and there's wild stuff happening in the U.S., and now we have this eclipse, and it goes right over Eagle Pass.
That's basically, Eagle Pass is where all the migrants are storming the country, and the eclipse, the total eclipse, goes right over there.
So certainly, people are freaking out.
Only in America could a total solar eclipse usher in the apocalypse and simultaneously influence an election.
Almost every generation believes they are living in the end of da- Uh, maybe we are, maybe we aren't, either way.
There's no way of knowing if we are barreling into Armageddon, or just might experience a blackened sky for a moment.
Although the latter seems 99.9% the most likely scenario, we know for a certain we don't know the certain future.
This is the root of chaos and concern, the rarity and almost inconceivable nature of events, like a total solar eclipse, leaves human beings feeling small, helpless, and slightly afraid of the unknown.
Without the sun, our only source of natural light, heat, and energy.
Could something bad happen?
Okay, you know, people are saying it's like a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
And, uh, when was that?
It was 2017, right?
The total eclipse?
unidentified
Yeah, uh... Yeah, I saw that.
tim pool
Let me, let me, let me check this one.
Are they gonna have a solar eclipse?
Look at that picture!
That is awesome!
You can see the moon right over the sun.
Super cool.
Yeah, look at that!
Yeah, I was in St.
Louis, I think, for this.
So, I don't know, I'm kinda like... This is like my third Eclipse, I think?
There was a total eclipse?
When was- There was one night- I remember the eclipse in 1991.
I was a real little kid.
And then we had the annular eclipse.
Yeah.
Uh... The eclipse in 91- Yeah, I don't think... Like, we got a little bit of- I was in Chicago.
And then, where was the- Here we go.
I remember this one.
May 10th, 94.
I think I remember this one.
Cause yeah, that went right over Chicago.
That was- That was a big deal for us.
Look at that.
That's cool.
Oh, this is cool.
It actually tracks it.
That's pretty cool.
So I don't... Yeah, oh yeah, like went right over Chicago.
That's cool.
Anyway, uh, is it the end of the days?
Let's stop wasting your time.
Donnie Darkin says...
Donnie Darkin, for those who don't know, is this account that claims it is possible that Donald Trump is the Antichrist in the light of the upcoming solar eclipse, which many people are likening to the sign of Jonah.
It's important for us believers to discern the nature of the signs and seek wisdom in scripture.
While the parallels are fascinating, Jesus' words in Matthew 12, 39 serve as a timely reminder.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
The sign of Jonah, as explained by Christ himself, is not about seeking signs in the heavens and on earth, but points us towards the truth of salvation and redemption.
Jonah's ordeal.
Three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish was a precursor to a far greater miracle.
Jesus explicitly connects this event with his own death, burial, and resurrection, stating, For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
This prophetic sign was fulfilled in Jesus' resurrection, which is central to our faith in the cornerstone of our hope.
This fulfillment demonstrates that the greatest sign has already been given and witnessed.
So as we observe the wonders of creation, like the coming solar eclipse, we should be reminded of the Creator's majesty and power.
But let's not be swayed into looking for heavenly signs, as I've also been guilty of doing.
The Book of Hebrews reminds us that in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son.
As I said, I myself have been guilty of doing this in the past, but I don't think it's a coincidence that many of the Great Awakening proponents are pointing to the eclipse as symbolic of the reawakening of America and a coming age of peace and safety.
So let's not be like the Ninevites, who needed a sign to repent, but rather be a people who live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us.
Our focus will remain on the message of the gospel, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the foundation of our faith and the source of our hope.
Now I'm going to pause right there and just say to all of you, my friends, I am not a Christian.
I do believe in God.
I think you always have to make the distinction.
For some reason, people think I'm an atheist.
I don't get it.
I've not been an atheist for twenty-some-odd years, and there were only a few years when I was.
To be fair, when I was a little child, I don't think I quite understood the concept of God, and faith, and spirituality, and life, or anything like that anyway.
And so, as I became a teenager, I started questioning these things, and I would say, I don't even know if atheist is the right word.
Because, even at a young age, I didn't really understand anything.
And then I read books on science and faith.
I read a bit more about Christianity and more so physics.
And my Christian upbringing, went to Catholic school, combined with my reading of physics gave me this perspective and ultimately around the age of 18, I was working for O'Hare, I was working at O'Hare, I was kind of like, I think?
The reasonable conclusion is, or at least probability dictates, the existence of some kind of God, whatever form that may take.
Beyond our comprehension is, I think, the easiest way to explain it.
I can't speak for anything of this world, and that's why I'm not a Christian.
I don't know about no books, you know, I mean, y'all have faith, I respect that, I just, I'm not there.
But what I do like about this post is to whittle it down.
Instead of looking for great signs, instead of looking to the heavens and seeing the moon cover the sun and then going, this is it!
This is... Just be good people.
For those that follow the Word of Christ, I think he makes a great point here.
Follow the Word of Christ.
You don't need an eclipse to tell you when to be a good person.
And I agree with that, even outside of the Christian context.
Not to speak for anybody.
I mean, if y'all are Christian, you do as Christians do.
For me, I would say morally and ethically, we don't need to look for great signs as to the end of days to inspire us, to cause fear.
We should be whole within ourselves that we are good and have done good, and we fear nothing.
If there is some afterlife, and you will be judged Many of you may be worried.
Have I done good?
You need not be worried.
Just do good.
And have faith.
And I think this is true for anybody who is agnostic.
Although I think atheists, I don't quite understand.
Atheism is too absolute for me.
You know, it was even a challenge for me as a teenager.
I think atheist was more so a buzzword.
I think agnostic made the most sense of just, I don't know.
And before I, you know, like even up until before I was 18, like when I was probably like 15 or 16, I was like listening to punk rock, I'm like an atheist.
And then like 17 and into 18, I was like more agnostic.
I mean, my mind was more open to, I really don't know, do I?
And the problem I had with people who said they were atheists was that they were saying, I don't believe there is a God.
And I'm like, okay.
I don't know one way or the other.
It is beyond our comprehension.
Certainly, the universe exists.
Certainly, there are limitations to what our minds can comprehend.
And the universe is vastly larger than us, for we are but specks on the nards of a mosquito in the grand scheme of things.
And so, how could I possibly know?
Atheists, to me, assert too much to be true.
Atheism, without theism, typically meaning without God.
And my issue then becomes, for many atheists, is that those that I've talked to, and not all of them, make the presumption that God is like a dude.
He's like some guy.
And they think, how could some guy do this?
I'm like, hold on.
First of all, that's more of an anti-Christian perspective.
If Christians are to say that we are creating the image of God, then perhaps your limited understanding of their faith leads you to believe there is a dude sitting in the clouds.
I certainly don't believe that is what Christians believe.
At least, you know, when I went to Catholic school, that is not what we were told.
We were told that we're made in the image of God, but that God would be beyond our comprehension.
And that was just... Why would you, as just a small creation of the Lord, be able to conceive of His greatness?
You may be able to witness certain things, or be given messages.
But, uh, but we are but humble, small beings on this planet.
And it's fascinating, too, because I've had atheists say that we are but wet robots.
And I'm like, then why would you- Like, our computers today can barely conceive of what our minds conceive of.
Why would- And we created them.
So, why should you assume, as the creation, or something on this planet, would be able to conceive of anything greater than you?
And because you can't conceive, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!
We know that the charged electromagnetic spectrum exists!
We use it every single day!
We have radio, cell phones.
And we can't see it!
It's but magic!
And so, anyway.
I don't think you need to go back.
You don't need to worry if you're a good person.
I do think it's always fair to question if you've done enough, if you're good enough.
That's fine.
But I think, I like this message.
Right?
If you're concerned about what comes after all of this, live your life to the best of your abilities.
And my recommendation is always to help creation and not destruction.
Now, there certainly could be creation and destruction, and destruction is not all bad.
Yin-yang, right?
But typically, I believe that we are here on this Earth to help organize, to create, to build, to construct, to advance.
That is, we make more things.
We organize more things.
We take the chaos of the universe and we compress it into fine order.
We create words.
We create abstraction.
We are negative entropy.
Perhaps we are weaker and will always lose out to the greater force of entropy, but we as negative forces perhaps could one day overcome, defying what many view as a fundamental law of physics.
I don't know.
Maybe not.
But I think we should be agents of creation.
Sometimes, in order to create, or to preserve creation, destruction is warranted.
If there is an element of some sort that is destroying things around it, we must destroy that element, correct?
So, if there is a criminal who is wreaking havoc on a community, which is causing suffering, we arrest that criminal and put them away to stop the destruction.
Now, that, in essence, destroys what this person is doing freely, but what they were doing was causing more harm.
You see what I mean?
But now on to the conspiracies, because the eclipse is upon us, my friends, and I bring to you the plagues of Egypt for fun.
I hope you enjoy this whimsical, or I don't know, maybe some people are gonna freak out, turning water into blood.
Now certainly there's no been turning water into blood here.
Now hold on.
Perhaps some metaphor.
Perhaps the Rio Grande, with the lives that are lost in this river from those who are storming into this country, the children who have died, perhaps that is turning the water to blood.
A metaphor, as it were.
Well, in Exodus, it says, "...by this you will know that I am the Lord.
With the staff that is in my hands, I will strike the water of the Nile,
and it will be changed into blood.
The fish of the Nile will die, and the river will sink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water."
Okay.
Well, nothing like that's happened to Rio Grande.
But wait!
What's this?
It's a river turned blood red!
The blood-colored stream at the Perry Common Meadows in Birmingham.
Member of the public spotted the strange occurrence Wednesday, January 24th.
So it's happened somewhere.
And this, I believe, is January of this year.
So, okay.
Alright.
It's not the river.
It's not the Nile.
But we're not talking about the plagues being in Egypt this time.
It's now.
It's the whole world, right?
Alright.
So, okay.
Here we go.
We got blood.
We got blood in the river.
Frogs.
Oh, certainly there are no frogs.
What's this?
unidentified
Georgia hit with infestation of cannibal Cuban tree frogs?
tim pool
As official urges residents to kill invasive species.
No!
Oh no!
A plague of frogs in Georgia.
So hold on.
If we play the metaphor game and say the Rio Grande has been plagued by blood because of the people who have died in it and the coming conflict, And the frogs.
The American South ain't looking too good.
And that eclipse is going right over it.
Okay, what's this?
Lice or gnats?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
I ain't know nothing about lice or gnats.
What's this?
School nurses asked to be vigilant as head lice on the rise.
Okay, okay.
Well, to be fair, this is in England.
So, like the blood, this one's also in England.
And to be honest, I didn't find any sources of any head lice in the American South, so the fun is starting to break.
But hold on, hold on.
Pestilence?
Oh, no, no.
Wild animals or flies.
Now this one you may know.
The fourth plague.
The dual instance cicadas are coming.
And so this actually can accomplish many of the different plagues.
Lice or gnats and locusts, but you know, whatever.
Pestilence of livestock.
Here we go.
Grandmother suddenly dies of rare brain disease with a 100% fatality rate and no cure.
That's right.
Mad cow disease!
Now, but don't they mean of the livestock?
Okay.
Why are prion diseases on the rise?
So this is mad cow disease, this is a prion disease, and it's on the rise.
Okay, well, that's worrying.
Boils!
Well, I don't know about no boils, but leprosy cases are rising in the U.S., so there's that.
Thunderstorms of hail and fire.
Here's one.
Insurance news.
Carriers must act now to tackle alarming rise in hailstorm losses.
Heavens me.
Locusts.
I mentioned the cicadas, right?
There we go.
Three days of darkness.
Well, of course, as we know.
In the Bible, the word day is a metaphor.
Okay?
It's a metaphor.
Because certainly the Lord did not create the universe in a single- in seven days.
They say that the day is translated to mean a period of time.
It took seven individual, or I should say six increments of time, and on the seventh day, he rested.
Well, in that case, in order to make my prophecy sound true, because it literally is not true and I'm pulling random news sources, let's say three days means three increments of time.
Uh-oh.
Two o'clock?
Three o'clock?
Four o'clock?
Not three full hours, though.
I'm really stretching this one.
But it's around 4.30.
The eclipse will end here, which is three hours!
Three increments of time of darkness.
And the last one.
Now, this one's scary.
The death of the firstborn son.
Okay, we've got nothing like that.
Dude, that's the one.
Like, all of these things, these plagues, could happen within the earthly realm.
Water turning the blood.
There could be an algal bloom, and there's a high iron density, and red turns the water red.
The algal bloom will kill the fish.
This can't happen.
Frogs.
We literally have a frog infestation in Georgia.
I mean, this kind of thing could happen.
Lice or gnats could be on the rise, and we'd say, look at all these gnats.
Now, to be fair, the dust of the ground became lice, so...
Wild animals or flies.
Most removed the plague and promised to grant the Israelites freedom.
The plague was gone.
The Bible tells us plagues only came, uh... The various sources use either wild animals or flies.
The harming of people and livestock.
Pest on... Like, these things are all... They don't... People get boils.
It could be diseases.
Uh, thunderstorm of hail and fire.
Now, a thunderstorm of hail and fire actually could happen.
So, if there's a thunderstorm, and it's hailing, but there's also a burning forest, you could get, like, embers.
So, we're stretching it.
Locusts happen.
Three days of darkness, in the literal sense, like, the sky going dark for three days, I really... This is where we're getting outside the earthly realm.
But you can make an argument for eclipses, or something like this, or, three days of darkness could literally be forest fires, and the smoke clouds out the sun, and it's dark for three days.
You see?
Now we get to the death of the firstborn son.
Now, if people's firstborn sons start dropping dead, and like, with ubiquity, I think people would drop to their knees and beg and pray.
I also don't see that actually happening.
I just pulled these up because it was funny because we were talking on Timcast IRL and I was like, wait, how many plagues have we had so far?
Because people are acting like the eclipse is going to be the apocalypse.
Nah, it's going to be fun.
I hope you all enjoy it.
It's not necessarily a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
It's like a twice-in-a-lifetime thing.
And if you want, you can travel around.
But it happens rarely.
I thought it was more frequent.
They were saying... I thought we were reading that it happens once every 18 months or something.
But then we have this... Where is this?
The solar eclipse map actually makes it seem like it's much more rare.
I thought that's what it said.
What is this?
I thought it said every 18 months.
Was that here?
I thought USA Today, right?
Isn't that what we just read?
Because that's what I thought.
And now I'm looking at this... Was it on this page?
Let me make sure real quick.
There is an 18 somewhere on this page.
I don't know.
Okay, it's not popping up.
Let's see.
Phenomenon, Preparation, Wild Conspiracy Theories, Wired Headline, End of Days.
Uh, maybe we are, maybe we aren't.
Where do we read that?
I don't know.
Let's do, uh... I guess the website doesn't work.
I can't search for words.
I thought it said 18 months.
Whatever.
Let the eclipse remind us the universe is filled with wonder.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Solar eclipses occur... Oh, yeah.
Hold on, hold on.
What is this?
Solar eclipses occur approximately every 18 months.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Really?
That's where it was.
It was on the tweet.
This is what I had read before.
I read that it happens... Total solar eclipses happen somewhat frequently on Earth, every 18 months on average.
They usually happen in spots inconvenient for viewing.
That's what I was told.
That's what I thought, so... What is this?
Oh, I see, I see, I see.
That was the mistake.
You see, this is the mistake I make.
This is just a list of 20th century solar eclipses.
Just in the United States, that was my mistake.
Because I was pretty sure there are people who travel the world tracking the eclipses, and they happen, like, a lot.
So let's do this.
You see we make this mistake?
Let's, uh... 2013, wow.
Yeah, there are a lot of eclipses.
So let's do this.
unidentified
2020.
tim pool
Where is April 2024?
Here we go.
The next will be an annular eclipse, October 2nd, 2024, in Argentina.
March 29th and 2025 will be a partial eclipse in northern Russia.
September, a partial eclipse in New Zealand.
February 17th, 2026, an annular.
Annular, like, it does totally cover the sun, it's just smaller.
Antarctica.
August, you'll get a toler eclipse in Portugal.
February 27, you'll get an annular in Chile.
That's what I, yeah, I thought that was the case.
People actually fly around the planet watching and tracking the eclipses for scientific research, so.
I hope you enjoyed today.
I'm gonna wrap it up there.
Next segment will be at 4 p.m.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
All that is required to be successful is perseverance.
Not skill.
Not talent.
Not great insight.
Not wealth.
Just perseverance.
As exemplified by two woefully inadequate individuals who are cognitively impaired.
That is... I don't even know how to say this guy's name.
John Iadarola and Brett Ehrlich.
Shout out to these guys.
But thank you for continuing the debate on hormonal contraceptives and how they actually can cause problems for women.
And men.
So the Young Turks have this guy.
He's got 800,000 subscribers.
He put out this video.
Ain't nobody saw it.
Iyadirola.
Is that your name?
I'm trying to get your name right.
My intention to insult your intelligence has nothing to do with your name, so I apologize if I'm getting it wrong.
But they ran this segment, and it's called Charlie Kirk Loses It With Outrageous Sexist Rant.
Outrageous sexist rant.
The funny thing is, Charlie Kirk, perhaps a little broad and a little hyperbole in there, was saying women should not be on birth control, mothers and grandmothers should get their kids off birth control.
And so these guys, who lack the ability to do a Google search, decided to do a segment on it.
And I think this exemplifies a lot about the current state of politics.
I have brought the facts and the data.
And in this segment, I guess because it's trendy and because I have millions of followers, they decided they would rope me into it and accuse me of being wrong or inadequate or projecting, saying things like, Tim Pool can't get laid and stuff like that, which is just, this is lowbrow leftist commentary.
It's what it is.
I make a broad argument based on scientific research, insulting no one, And this is what the Young Turks do.
So, I'd love to have that conversation with Cenk and Anna about this, because they're the principles, they're the high-profile individuals of the Young Turks, but the Young Turks are lowbrow garbage content.
And I gotta be completely honest.
I'll give a shout-out to David Pakman, because he may be accused of sophistry, or of being an incorrect liberal, or whatever it may be.
At the very least, typically, David Pakman is talking about news subjects, for which maybe he gets things wrong and we disagree, but I don't actually see David pop up a whole lot.
Why?
Because, at the very least, I don't see him doing things like the Young Turks do, but...
When you are as stupid as these individuals, the only thing you have going for you is WWE-style fake news.
I'm gonna play for you this clip, so you can hear the argument.
But I will start first by breaking down for you what this is all about.
It's actually quite simple.
Charlie Kirk, oh I apologize for that boop, I don't know if you heard that.
Charlie Kirk said at an event, like I already mentioned, get your kids, get your grandkids off birth control.
His argument was that birth control causes mood swings, anxiety, depression.
There are many studies that suggest this is the case.
I'm not saying 100% definitively true, I don't know.
Literally, I said in this segment, and I maintain, I don't care if you want to be on birth control, I ain't like Charlie Kirk.
But there is a reality to this, and it's something called post-pill clarity, that's what some women call it.
And that is, it is scientifically proven!
Whatever that means, I mean, there have been numerous, copious, Peer-reviewed studies tracking the effects on long-term relationships and hormonal contraception.
That is, when women stop taking the birth control pill, who they are attracted to changes.
Maybe the science is all wrong.
I don't know.
I can only speculate and opine on what the data says to me.
And if my opinion is wrong, it's simply based on the science presented towards me.
So by all means, you can say, I think Tim's assessment about what you should do is incorrect.
My assessment?
I said that men should be careful due to this scientifically peer-reviewed phenomenon Where women will get off their birth control pills and then what they're trying to change is that men should be careful.
But women should be careful too.
In fact, many doctors and OBGYNs and other medical professionals for women suggest that women stop taking contraception because it could affect their marriage.
You're gonna get married and then you get off the pill and all of a sudden you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This may not be the guy for me.
And that's a huge deal for women.
In fact, it was first women who brought this up, not men.
Let me play for you this clip so you can hear what it sounds like to be a moron on the internet.
unidentified
That's not the only person who is speaking out against birth control.
I did not take, Tim Pool has been against birth control in specific ways and he doesn't want me to take him out of context, so take a look at this video.
tim pool
Okay, Tim Pool has been against birth control in specific ways because I'm not against birth control.
I literally don't care.
I know people who are literally prescribed it for actual, serious reasons.
There are reasons why people might get prescribed hormones.
There are guys who take TRT.
I don't know if that's prescription or not.
I think it is.
And there are women who take estrogen for a variety of reasons.
Literally don't care.
I think you should talk to your doctor and follow your own life and your own advice.
But when doctors are suggesting women stop taking the birth control pill when they're getting married, I think that's something men should consider too.
Because men aren't going to doctors, and the doctors aren't going, now about your health, is your wife on birth control?
That doesn't happen.
But for women it does.
Now he's going to play a clip from me out of context, which is funny.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Men, I am going to tell you something right now.
That is fairly difficult, and the left will pull out of context in two seconds.
So I'll make sure to state this in a way that is understandable to those who speak English, but cannot be clipped out of context.
Men should not date women.
unidentified
Alright, that was unfair.
I couldn't help myself.
What you might not have noticed over the shoulder, that's Tim Pool talking about how he doesn't like birth control.
He's talking about this thing, let's put up the graphic.
tim pool
See this game they play?
He doesn't like birth control?
I never said that!
These people are... Look, look, look.
Here's why I wanted to make this.
Because this is the game they play.
Okay, if you watch a show like mine, I'm gonna pull up all the scientific articles, I'm gonna show you everything.
They just lie.
They falsely imply things.
I did not talk about them.
I didn't make a video about the Young Turks.
I didn't insult anybody.
I didn't disparage women.
I said, hey, people are critical of Charlie Kirk, here's why.
Hey, here's a look at the data.
unidentified
A cosmopolitan argument, the science journal Cosmopolitan, as we all know, is a science journal, saying, can your contraception turn off your partner?
We investigate, quote, quote, post pill clarity.
And then it goes on to say an expert weighs in on, quote, those TikTok stories.
tim pool
So this is what they do.
They say, Cosmopolitan!
Never mind that in the Cosmopolitan story, they do talk about this phenomenon, which is peer-reviewed, scientifically studied.
So, forgive me if I'm going to a source that women use, and have numerous stories from various women about something that we already know to be scientifically peer-reviewed.
I don't want to say proven, let's pull it back a little bit, and say a phenomenon recognized by many individuals and experienced by women to a great degree.
So I highlight the one where they have multiple stories and are breaking it down.
They all start laughing.
The purpose of the laughing is to create this idea in your mind, it is absurdity to believe this to be true.
This is how you manipulate people.
No, look, I think the reality is these guys are just really, really dumb.
They're like very stupid people.
But I won't waste any more of your time.
From the Scientific American, Birth control pills have lasting effects on relationships.
Using oral contraceptives may affect relationship satisfaction.
From the Scientific American?
Yes.
How's that?
But don't worry!
If you're not satisfied with science publications, I'll give you the NIH, too.
This says in the lab, women using oral contraceptives show a weaker preference for masculine men, those with high testosterone levels, and the corresponding physical hallmarks, than their non-pill-using counterparts.
To investigate this issue in a real-world setting, psychologist S. Craig Roberts of the University of Stirling in Scotland and his collaborators gave online surveys to more than 2,500 men from various countries.
According to the results published on October 12th in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Biological Sciences, participants who used hormonal contraceptives while choosing their partner were less attracted to him and less sexually satisfied during their relationship than were individuals who did not use hormonal birth control.
Now, those all don't sound like overtly bad things.
Hence, I never said I was completely against birth control.
aspects of the relationship, however, and they were less likely to separate.
Now, those all don't sound like overtly bad things.
Hence, I never said I was completely against birth control.
But how about we jump straight to the NIH?
Now, there are numerous studies that you can find in NIH This is PubMed Central.
This is a dot-gov website.
The association between discontinuing hormonal contraceptives and wives' marital satisfaction depends on husbands' facial attractiveness.
Whoa, whoa!
There's a presupposition here!
And that is...
There is a known association between discontinuing hormonal contraceptives and marital satisfaction.
Heavens to Murgatroyd!
And this study actually goes up on it, saying what they found is a dependency on facial attractiveness.
Meaning, the presupposition is that getting off hormonal birth control does alter marital satisfaction.
Hey!
Like the Scientific American article I just showed you, but they actually do have a great summary here.
If I go down and we scroll down through all the data and I did this by all means.
I really do recommend that people actually read this and go through all of the actual details here, but I believe let's see.
Let's see.
A growing body of research demonstrates that evolved processes have implications for established relationships.
In one set of studies, naturally cycling women who described their partners as more physically desirable experienced increased satisfaction with those partners while fertile.
Whereas such women who described their partners as less physically desirable experienced decreased satisfaction with those partners while fertile.
Okay, what I find fascinating here... Actually, let's uh... I'll just read this for you.
However, hormonal contraceptives are believed to suppress the biological processes that account for these effects and thus may have unintended consequences for relationships.
Providing some initial evidence for such effects, Roberts et al.
2122 demonstrated that women who began or discontinued hormonal contraceptives during their relationship were less satisfied with sexual aspects of their relationship.
The current research provided a valuable independent replication of that research by revealing that beginning or discontinuing HCs was negatively associated with women's sexual satisfaction in two longitudinal studies of marriage.
However, these two studies also extended this prior work by revealing that association between discontinuing HCs and women's marital satisfaction depend on their husband's facial attractiveness, whereas discontinuing HCs was associated with greater marital satisfaction among wives with relatively more attractive husbands.
It was associated with lower satisfaction among wives with relatively less attractive husbands.
Likewise, husband's attractiveness was positively associated with satisfaction among wives who discontinued using HCs.
Partner attractiveness was unassociated with wives' satisfaction among wives who continued using HCs in each study.
But my point, instead of just literally reading through everything, is simply, there is, it is a fact.
There is a difference between a woman who is attracted to a man on or off birth control.
Women know this.
I am not making this up.
Now, let's start here.
Time Magazine.
Going off the pill could affect who you're attracted to.
Study finds.
November 20th, 2014.
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science followed 118 couples.
That was their conclusion.
Let's try more.
From Psychology Today, do contraceptive pills affect attraction? January 5, 2019.
Stopping oral contraceptives may enhance the appeal of alternative partners.
I think it's fairly obvious. Women who are fertile, they're ovulating,
are going to find their partners more attractive.
When they're not, less attractive.
It makes sense.
Women are, hey, they wanna have kids?
Nah, they're not ready to have kids.
So there's going to be a hormonal response to attractiveness.
Men's hormonal cycle is daily, I believe.
Meaning, guys wake up, surge of testosterone, and then it slowly goes down, and they go to sleep, and they wake up, surge of testosterone.
And that's why guys certainly, they wake up, And they wake up with the... How do we keep this family friendly and scientific?
They wake up a little stiff, if you know what I mean.
Yeah.
Because guys have daily hormonal cycles.
So it's different.
So guys, naturally, are going to be ready all the time.
Why?
Because guys don't have a monthly hormonal cycle in much the same way.
Now, everybody does have daily hormonal cycles.
There's different hormones for different things.
But let's go through this.
How about this?
Now that I've done the scientific research, let's talk about the flow living.
Self-help section of the things.
Five ways hormonal birth control disrupts dating.
They're going to mention that the pill does this.
The pill ruins love.
It changes the way they smell.
They have studies linked in Scientific American.
Is this?
Let's see if it's the actual study I just pulled up.
It's actually a different one!
unidentified
Wow!
tim pool
We have another article from Scientific American.
Jeez!
Wow, John, and what was your name, Brett?
You guys, look, you are the problem with the internet, okay?
You are the problem with the left.
I cannot at least have done a Google search or read the article that was being cited.
Because this is not controversial.
This is a fact.
And my statements on this were literally just based on doctors' recommendations.
I love how you can be a milquetoast fence-sitter and they'll still claim you are on one side of the fence.
How Synthetic Hormones Change Desire in Women.
Oh heavens to Murgatroyd.
I'll be this one.
From Yahoo.
Let's get into anecdotes.
Birth control almost ruined my relationship.
A few months ago I made the big decision to stop taking my birth control pills after 10 years.
It wasn't because I stopped having sex or because I decided to want to try getting pregnant.
It was because my birth control pills almost ruined my relationship and they messed me up so much that I still can't imagine ever taking them again.
There were times when I was normal, but there were times when I was outrageously angry over nothing.
So depressed, I considered taking drastic measures.
So frustratingly anxious.
unidentified
Why?

Heavens, this is an anecdote.
She went on the pill at 16.
This is what Charlie Kirk was talking about.
This is just an anecdote.
Fine.
By all means, ignore it.
Here's from MindBodyGreen.
The pill almost ruined my marriage.
Here's what I wish more women knew about birth control.
Getting off birth control is a decision many people may make after getting married.
Usually the hope is starting a family.
For me, it was necessary to save my marriage.
Since being my husband, I tried three different types of oral contraceptions.
Yadda yadda yadda.
The point here.
Another anecdote of a woman saying, the pill almost ruined my marriage.
How's this one from Glamour?
Can going off hormonal birth control affect your sexual relation?
Let's fact check.
With the help of experts, we're taking a closer look at the controversial claim that stopping the pill can make you less sexually attracted to the person you're sleeping with.
Controversial!
Even they don't come out and give us an assessment.
But we have two articles from Scientific American and the NIH.
How about this one from Reddit?
Four years ago, from the subreddit 2xchromosomes, ever since I quit taking birth control pills, I no longer feel as attracted to my boyfriend.
I am scared that things will never be the same again.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Yes!
There are numerous studies going back decades showing this can happen.
But we don't know if it will happen to you.
And so, what I see here, with many of these stories and morons like this, is that women will say, my doctor recommended this.
But for men, they don't have the same thing.
Men aren't on hormonal contraceptives.
Maybe they will be in the future.
Maybe some are.
I know they have some now, I think, that guys can take.
I don't know if they're hormonal, actually, but there are certain oral contraceptives guys can take.
And so, when a guy is planning a marriage or relationship, my argument is, perhaps, the reason we see a rise in divorce is attributed to Women changing birth control, which has become ubiquitous, with women saying they get on it at 16 years old for acne.
And then it changes the way they feel about their partner.
And then all of a sudden they say, this is a mistake.
That is unfortunate.
But it probably could lend itself to at least a decent amount of these divorces.
Women getting off the pill and saying, I'm not attracted to you anymore.
And thus, it ends.
That's not controversial.
That is me hypothesizing saying, wow, if these scientific American articles and the report from NIH and the other study that we have from, what is this one?
The preceding, oh, this is penis.
I think it's a funny name for an organization, but Proceedings of the National Academy of Science followed 118 couples and concluded going off the pill could affect who you're attracted to.
If these things are all true, should it not be wise then for men to consider the same thing that women are telling each other to consider?
How do we then end up in this situation where women are grossly ill-informed and so are men?
Because of morons like the Young Turks.
And, well, I think, the main thesis I have here, and what is mostly important is that, the struggles we face in this, uh, in our country, when it comes to civic duty, when it comes to how we vote, how we fix things, is that people like John Iadarola, and this guy, uh, Brett, uh, Ehrlich, are really stupid.
But they do have perseverance, and that is all that is required for success.
So this guy has got 800,000, I believe it's 800,000 subscribers, Can make a segment that is one of the most ridiculous, wrong segments one could imagine, horribly advising young people and probably harming them in their emotional lives.
And this will be the basis for which these people are voting, or how they're consuming information.
So if you were to watch The Young Turks consistently and never venture out of your bubble, you wouldn't know that it's not a Cosmo article, that I just chose the Cosmo article because it was an amalgam.
Because I'm like, here's something that's, you know, I go through the news and I'm like, am I going to pull up all the scientific studies every single time?
Or am I going to find the media article where they're breaking things down and combining all of these elements into a single story?
And in fact, I've talked about that quite a bit with the Daily Mail.
When I wake up in the morning and I'm going through the news, they like to say, the Daily Mail is tabloid garbage.
A lot of it is.
But when you're reading about something pertaining to, you know, Joe Biden gave a fundraiser or something, you'll pull up CNN and they'll say, Joe Biden fundraiser $25 million, and you'll read it and you'll get a paragraph.
You'll go to the Wall Street Journal, and they'll give you tidbits.
The Daily Mail, to their credit, will do this ridiculously long breakdown, and then they'll even have, like, a sidebar where it's like, here's how campaign finance works, and I'm like, wow.
They've combined everything.
And then, of course, these people will say, aha, but they're tabloid garbage.
I think anybody who reads the news knows that Daily Mail's actually really good.
They do have a lot of tabloid garbage.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm surprised they write about half the things they write about.
But on the matters that are important, they actually give you a very big breakdown, and the left shouldn't be complaining.
They use preferred pronouns.
This is who the Young Turks hires.
They're not smart enough to do Google searches.
The guy actually points out and admits he saw it on Reddit or something.
Heaven forbid, dude, you actually Google search anything I'm talking about, instead of taking my words out of context, which was quite literally what I said he was going to do.
My point being...
If you're a guy, and women are being advised by their doctors to get off oral contraception, or hormonal contraception, just before a relationship to make sure they're actually attracted, because guys don't take the contraception, they're not getting the same advice from anybody else.
But shouldn't guys consider the exact same thing as women when they're going to be in a relationship?
If the women are like, well my doctor advised it, but I'm, I'm fine.
Shouldn't the guy know that a doctor, a gyno, shouldn't the guy also know that a gyno said something to that effect?
I think that's fair.
I think if a doctor advises a woman to get off birth control because it may affect relationships, attractiveness, and things like that, the guy should have to know that.
Because if the woman says, I won't do it or I will do it, and it does change things, the guy should have a right to know because he's also in a relationship.
It is a mutual relationship.
You see how that works?
Unfortunately for us, we live in a world full of morons who just never give up.
So, my respect.
Now, what I love about this segment, and I'll give them a shout-out too, and, uh... You know, just something I don't normally do...
They also do this thing very typical of the left in which they have this weird obsession with like, he thinks he's going to win an argument where I read scientific articles by saying things like, Tib says women don't like the way you smell.
Sounds like he's projecting.
I've been in a relationship for several years and I'm not really concerned about the dating pool or birth control and that's also none of your business.
But it's like, uh, the guy John Iadarola, who's as dumb as a box of rocks, and might I add, SO DUMB, he could not even do a Google search.
Now that is a level of stupidity we don't see very often, but I'm impressed.
Because he does have perseverance, meaning, congratulations on 800,000 subscribers, without having the ability to do a Google search.
That gets you fa- that- that- that perseverance, that gets you far.
But I love this.
He's like, they then make fun of the fact that we have two multi-million dollar private skateboard facilities, two multi-million dollar production studios, and it's the weirdest thing.
I really just don't get it.
I typically refrain from engaging in, like, the e-drama stuff.
I don't talk about other people like that.
Politicians?
Yes.
CEOs?
Of course.
Media personalities?
The last time we talked about a media personality, like the first time in a long time, was Hasan Piker on Timcast IRL, and that was only because there was a post going around saying he was going to kill himself.
And I was like, whoa!
But it's also another, there's another element to this.
Typically, I will talk about other shows when there is an item of social effect.
Particularly with Hassan, his viewership has declined so rapidly it's caused a depressive spike.
And we have talked about how the algorithm and viewership create addictions in people and they suffer withdrawal.
They become depressed and anxious over this.
And then in this instance we have For the people who listen to this stuff, the Young Turks, because Anna Kasparian, I'll give her credit, she's been right about a lot of things.
She's been coming out and she's being attacked for it.
But this is what they do.
Like Jen Cougar, for instance, came on the Culture War podcast and didn't know anything about the Ahmet Arpery case.
And I'm like, my god, did you Google this?
Like, I don't get it, man.
I'm not doing any great research.
I'm not some genius who can pull up a floating screen in front of my face and scour the internet with great hacking abilities.
I literally just Google-searched the stories and then read them.
But they don't even do that.
The same is true for Bill Maher.
And you know, this is why they say right-wing and whatever nonsense.
You know, it's horribly sad, to be completely honest.
It's horribly sad.
But that's the reality.
Bill Maher doesn't Google things.
I gotta give it to Bill Maher.
I loved this when he realized his writers walked him into a corner.
It was glorious.
He is reading the quote from Jack Posobiec, when Jack said, you know, we're here to end democracy, we didn't quite get there on January 6th, but hey, we're gonna keep trying, something to that effect.
And Bill Maher is doing the show, and he's like, this Jack Posobiec said, we didn't end democracy, but we're gonna keep, we will persevere.
And you could tell, right at that moment, he was like, oh my god, I'm reading a joke.
unidentified
And he had to pretend like it wasn't!
tim pool
Oh, man.
I don't know what to tell you, man.
I can tell you this.
If you made it this far in the video, share it.
Share it far and wide.
And I'll tell you why.
Many people may not want to watch it, but at least this gives you a breakdown of how they're lying to you, okay?
They're lying about so much.
And I get many people saying like, Tim, my friends watch this stuff and they refuse to listen.
And I'm like, maybe they're just not smart enough, I guess.
Maybe they're just not smart enough.
There's IQ, there's EQ.
I think EQ is silly, but you know.
Maybe there is an intelligence and wisdom thing going on here.
Are you willing to actually understand a problem and listen to it?
Unfortunately for these people, this is like the vapid, I-don't-really-care-about-news audience that will watch two guys opine on things they made up and then just didn't research.
And I feel bad for the people who watch The Young Turks, man.
But hey, maybe that's why their viewership has declined by so much to where it is now.
Well, there's my friends.
I don't care if you're on birth control.
I'll point out these things are true.
Have a nice day.
Uh, well, let's put this one up at 1 p.m., I guess.
Next segment's coming up at 4 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
In a shocking twist, Joe Biden might actually not be on the Ohio general election ballot, which is crazy, because that could mean he could lose.
But I wonder if the real strategy of Democrats is to win in Missouri and Texas, based on those weird voter registration numbers we saw last week.
I don't know if you guys saw that story, but something like tens of thousands of dead people tried to register to vote without IDs in Missouri in the week ending February 17th.
So, I wonder if they don't actually care about Ohio.
And by allowing Republicans to shift all their focus on these swing states, While Democrats focus on winning what should be reliably red states, it will throw Republicans for a loop when the 1.25 million registrants in Texas with no IDs all vote Democrat.
We'll see.
But this is kind of wild.
In one of the most crucial elections imaginable, Biden could be off the Ohio ballot.
Fox News says, President Biden may fail to get an Ohio's general election ballot for the state's top election official warned his campaign about missing a key deadline on Friday.
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, notified top Democratic officials that their party's national convention is scheduled to occur well past the deadline for certifying a presidential candidate in Ohio.
The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to convene on August 19th, 2024, which occurs more than a week after the August 7th deadline, to certify a presidential candidate to the office.
I am left to conclude the Democratic National Committee must either move up its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must act by May 9th, 2024, 90 days prior to a new law's effective date to create an exception to the statutory requirements LaRose legal counsel Paul DeSantis, it's DeSantis, wrote in the letter.
This is interesting.
Biden's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital on Sunday, but told ABC News that they were monitoring the situation in Ohio and remain confident that Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states.
The Ohio Democratic Party has yet to respond publicly to LaRose's letter.
News of the letter came the same day, an internal memo showing panic within the Democratic Party over its nonpartisan voter registration efforts potentially helping former President Trump.
Democrats cross-country have become increasingly concerned over the amount of support Trump is pulling from usually reliable demographics and donors, have been bickering over an internal memo casting doubt on whether the party should continue using non-profits to register unregistered voters over fears it could help Trump win.
Indeed, if we were to blindly register non-voters and get them on the rolls, we would be distinctly aiding Trump's quest for a personal dictatorship, the memo explained, casting doubt on the long-standing Democrat voter registration push that typically has resulted in favorable results in previous elections.
That is to say, my friends, when they go to non-voters and say, would you want to register to vote?
They go, sure.
And then they go, great.
And then that person goes, I'm voting Trump.
And they go, no!
Reminds me of South Park when they were trying to vote for the school mascot and it was a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
And they're trying to convince Stan to vote and he's like, I don't care, I don't care to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
And then Kyle's like, man, you gotta vote.
And he's like, okay, then I vote for this guy.
And then Kyle's like, wait, wait, wait, what?
That's the other guy.
Don't vote for him.
Wait, don't vote.
Don't vote.
Go back to not voting.
That's the game.
Democrats are realizing that their once noble and valiant efforts at registering non-voters is actually helping Donald Trump.
The memo argues that Democrats should focus their registration efforts only in specific heavily pro-Biden populations, and the Washington Post explained that the rise in Trump support among non-registered voters has run up against a long-held Democratic policy priority of growing their voter rolls.
Ah, heavens!
How unfortunate for Democrats.
But let's jump down to the Electoral College map.
And take a look at what might happen.
Ohio appears to be reliably red right now.
These are the predictions.
They say, it will take 270 electoral votes to win the 2024 presidential election.
Click on states in this interactive map to create your own 2024 election forecast.
Create a specific matchup by clicking the party and their names near the electoral vote counter.
Use the buttons below to share your forecast, blah, blah, blah.
So my understanding is that the current map breakup right now, excuse me, Is based on polling.
I could be wrong, but I believe it is.
Where we can see that Texas is reliably red.
And, uh, well I shouldn't say reliably, but is strongly red.
Moderately red.
We have PA, so let's play this game.
Let's say that Ohio stays red.
Let's go relia- Biden's not even on it!
So, they- they got it.
They got it.
Okay.
Let's say Wisconsin goes Trump.
Michigan goes Trump.
Pennsylvania goes Trump.
Georgia goes Trump.
Arizona goes Trump.
Nevada goes Trump.
Why?
That's 312 to Democrats 226.
Sorry, Joe Biden!
Looks like you can't win this one.
But then something happens.
There's a weird voter registration thing happening in Missouri.
There's a weird voter registration thing happening in Texas.
And there you have it.
If Trump wins every single one of these states that are up for grabs, but Texas and Missouri go blue, Democrats win 276 electoral votes.
I believe Texas is winner take all.
I'm pretty sure it is.
Let's make sure.
Electoral College, because maybe it's not.
Uh, yeah.
Courts uphold Texas' winner-take-all system of electoral votes for president.
We have seen 1.25 million newly registered voters who do not have IDs according to the Help America Voter Verification System from the Social Security Administration.
If this is how it plays out.
Look at this.
Let's say Wisconsin, deep red.
Michigan, deep red.
Pennsylvania, deep red.
North Carolina, deep red.
Georgia, deep red.
Arizona, deep red.
Nevada, deep red.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if they all go for Trump.
If Texas and Missouri flip, Joe Biden wins.
And that'll be interesting.
But The challenge here is, we don't actually know how, or I should say, not so much a challenge, but we don't actually know what Texas will become, whether Missouri will be red, and now it's looking, based on this map, that Texas and Missouri will be red.
Meaning, Republicans are likely going to win 312 electoral votes if they were to secure, let's say Nevada goes blue, right?
So, let's say it's light blue, let's say Arizona definitely goes blue because their voting machines are gonna break.
I don't even know, Georgia, let's say Georgia goes blue.
So long as the Republicans win Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, you got it.
Trump's gonna win.
The worrying thing is 1.25 million registered voters with no IDs.
Missouri and Texas seem to be the anomalies.
Arizona seems to be the anomalies.
So let's play this game.
Let's say Nevada does go red.
Let's say Missouri goes blue.
Texas goes blue.
Texas really is the key here.
Democrats score 303.
Let's say Georgia goes red.
Democrats will get 287 in this scenario.
Even if Missouri doesn't... Missouri stays red, it's 277-261.
Texas is the most important play right now.
And while I believe I can... Where's that reset button?
Currently, I believe this is based on polling makeup.
The states that seem to be up for grabs are PA, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.
North Carolina is leaning Republican ever so slightly.
Here's the crazy thing.
Texas is also not strongly.
It's in the middle.
unidentified
It could go one way or the other.
tim pool
It's gonna be interesting.
I don't think Joe Biden cares about Ohio.
I think the Democrat playbook right now is going to be for Texas.
And they're going to make an argument that people from California moved out, went to Arizona, and went to Texas.
And that turned the state blue.
We've been seeing this mass exodus from New York, Illinois, and California.
People don't want to live in these lockdown states.
And they're going to Texas and Florida, which should indicate Texas and Florida stay reliably red.
Then you take a look at what's happening at Eagle Pass.
The argument is that they're giving voting rights to illegal immigrants.
Not rights, but they're giving them work permits which grant them social security numbers so they can register to vote.
Their name appears in the system and then they're granted their voter registration.
I don't know if I believe that.
Giving 1.25 million people work permits is crazy.
What I think is more likely is that there are ballot harvesters, and they're going through a database of people who are not registered to vote, but residents.
Which shouldn't be too hard to find, actually.
They then can see a list of people who've never voted.
They can then, because they don't have their IDs, use the available information in these public databases, Social Security numbers a bit harder, and register them to vote.
Where?
Whatever address they want.
Then the mail-in ballots will come, and they'll mail them all in.
Universal mail-in voting should be shut down now.
Republicans ain't gonna do it though.
So certainly Republicans better understand what is happening.
The interesting thing about this map is that it may not even be accurate.
I mean, who knows what's gonna happen?
We could see some pretty weird changes based on demographic shifts, high crime.
You see what's going on in Oakland with those street takeovers?
We could see some pretty interesting stuff.
Far be it from me, I don't know.
I'll leave it there.
