		Now, let's get into that first story.
		Joe Biden announces another student debt relief plan.
		Why?
		Well, according to NBC News, it's because he is hemorrhaging the youth vote.
		In one of their latest stories from only the other day, among voters age 18 to 29, Biden is down at 40 percent to Trump's 58 percent.
		In a Fox News poll, we have seen similar polling over the past several months that show Gen Z is bailing on Joe Biden and many in Gen Z are now supporting Donald Trump.
		But I don't believe the picture is so simple.
		I don't believe the issue is that Joe Biden is losing his supporters to Donald Trump.
		I believe Donald Trump is gaining supporters among the under 30 generation.
		And I believe Joe Biden is losing supporters because he's not far left enough.
		There are other issues, too.
		I do think there are many young Gen Z types who are getting older, experiencing the workforce and realizing these plans from Democrats do not work.
		And you know what we'll do?
		We'll pull up stats from Hasan Piker.
		You know, I'm glad to say his name again, because his viewership has dropped dramatically.
		Now, for those that aren't familiar, the New York Times profiles this guy four years ago.
		He is the top streamer on Twitch at the time.
		I believe it was at the time, but there was a period where he was.
		And it is leftist progressive politics.
		As of today, He's nowhere really to be found.
		His viewership is in decline.
		His subscriber base is sinking.
		And many say it's because he outright supported Hamas after the October 7th attacks.
		Now, I don't know about any of that.
		I do think it's fair to say when you see polls showing young people skewing more towards Donald Trump, it's actually quite simple.
		I love this phenomenon of taking a progressive youth and then handing them their first paycheck.
		Why?
		They go, hey, I'm supposed to be getting $20 an hour and I worked 40 hours this week.
		Why is my paycheck only $500?
		And you're like, it's called taxes, my friend.
		And the government gets a good portion of it.
		I remember, uh, I had a job at a fast food restaurant when I was, uh... I worked at my family's, uh, family business when I was a kid, when I was like 10 to 12.
		And, uh, I got tips, and whatever, and it's not really the same as, like, a job job.
		But it was my first, like, actual job.
		I also, like, mowed lawns and stuff when I was a kid.
		But my first actual job where I filled out an application was at Portillo's Hot Dogs.
		And I remember getting my first paycheck, and it was so small, I didn't really notice the taxes.
		I was getting like a hundred bucks every other week or something, working a few hours, sixteen, handing people burgers and fries.
		And then at 18, I got a job at American Eagle Airlines at O'Hare.
		And I was getting paid something like $10.25 an hour.
		And I was broke.
		Man, I really needed money.
		I couldn't afford shoes.
		I couldn't afford an apartment.
		My car was falling apart.
		I couldn't afford to get to work.
		And so I'm like, I've gotta pick up shifts.
		I've gotta work these extra hours.
		And then my first paycheck came and I went, whoa, something's wrong.
		And they all started laughing and they're like, yeah, welcome, welcome to work.
		And I was like, what?
		No, seriously, it was like 40% of my check.
		And they were like, yeah, what did you think was going to happen?
		And I was like, no, no, no, no, hold on a minute.
		So I was calculating hours.
		I didn't think I'd pay that much.
		It was impossible.
		It was impossible to make it to O'Hare Airport every day, waking up at 3 in the morning.
		I did not make enough money.
		It wasn't possible.
		You have to work something, like I would work double shifts.
	I would work 16 hours Saturday, 16 hours Sunday.
	And I wasn't cutting it.
	It just wasn't working.
	And so I was like, dude, I'm done.
	This does not pay enough.
	It was like, I couldn't even get a down payment for an apartment.
	Nothing made sense.
	And so I was like, that's it, I'm done.
	Now this is when I'm 18.
	Now a lot of these kids, Gen Z, are more likely to go to college.
	And what I think we're seeing is these kids are experiencing what most people experience when they leave the confines of the institutionalized learning facilities in their family.
	And that is, taxes rip you off, shatter your planning, and you don't even know where the money's going.
	And now you've got a Gen Z that can't afford an apartment, can't afford to have a family, can't move out and get their own place, but they can see each and every penny That goes to non-citizens and to Ukraine, and for that matter, Israel.
	And I think it's pissing him off.
	This story from NBC News is actually about Biden announcing his new plans to provide student debt relief for millions.
	What I love about this story is that in their video, Fox, I'm sorry, NBC News has no problem showing two NBC News polls and a Fox News poll showing Gen Z voters skewing towards Trump.
	They have no problem saying it, but boy, nobody wants to write the article titled, Gen Z is skewing towards Trump.
	To be fair.
	Despite this polling and these stories, there are stories suggesting Trump is losing among Gen Z. Newsweek reports Donald Trump suffers major drop in Gen Z support, and this is among the same polls.
	In March, it was Harvard Caps Harris showing that Trump's Gen Z support only at 35 percent, when the previous month it was at 55, which is really interesting.
	In January, it was 43.
	Before December's polling, Harvard Caps designated the nation's youngest voters 18 to 34.
	So it did change.
	So from before December, that may have an impact here.
	But I'll tell you what I think.
	I think one of the reasons we are seeing this transformation is because Joe Biden isn't far left enough.
	So I think what's happening among Democrats is What do you call it?
	It's like you got a pile of goop on the ground and you hit it with a hammer and it splatters all over the place, right?
	I don't know how else to describe it.
	I'm not trying to be disparaging to Democrat voters.
	I certainly don't like the politicians.
	What I mean is, some go left, some go right.
	And while Trump does gain many individuals who are Gen Z, his support in the latest poll is down, but I'd be willing to bet, of those who are saying they will vote for Trump, enthusiasm is through the roof.
	And of those saying they support Biden, it is in the gutter.
	Then you have people on the left who are more moderate, don't want to vote for Biden or Trump.
	And then you have more leftists who are furious over Israel and won't support Democrats because of that.
	Meaning, the people who say they're voting for Trump are unified and likely to vote for Donald Trump.
	But let's take a look at the data!
	And let's take a look at some- and we'll speculate quite a bit and see where we're currently at.
	We have this video.
	Let me jump back off to NBC's story and we'll play what they have to say.
unidentified		In the 2020 NBC News exit poll, candidate Biden led former President Trump by 24 percentage points among voters under 30.
		But an NBC survey in January had President Biden up by just 8 percentage points among that group.
		Another poll last month showed Mr. Trump ahead by 18 points among voters under 30.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna go back real quick.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's important to draw this distinction.
unidentified		In 2020, They said, T4 percentage points among voters under 30.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So let's go back so we can pull it on the screen.
		2020, 18 to 29, it's 60 to 36 Biden to Trump.
		Now hold on.
		It's been four years.
		So this group is now 23 to, uh, to 22 to 33.
		We're talking about a four-year elite.
		So it's a slight shift, meaning you've got 14-year-olds in 2020 who are now 18 and in this voting bloc.
		I think we're seeing a few things.
		As I mentioned, conservatives have more kids.
		Those kids are more likely to vote conservative, even if conservatives keep saying, yeah, but they're indoctrinating my kids in the schools.
		Doesn't matter.
		That's true, but children of conservatives are still more likely to vote conservative.
		Let's play this again.
unidentified		Voters under 30.
		But an NBC survey in January had President Biden up by just 8 percentage points among that group.
		Another poll last month showed Mr. Trump ahead by 18 points among voters under 30.
		Are you excited to vote for President Biden?
		Um, I would personally say no.
		Haley Rudy and Maya Cohn are both sophomores at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
		I'm excited to vote for someone that's not Trump, but I wouldn't say that it is I'm excited for Biden.
		Even if the president ends up winning back some younger voters before November, a small change from 2020 could swing the election.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yes, it could.
		And this is why Biden keeps trying to push this unconstitutional debt relief for young people.
		He is trying to buy votes.
		But let's take a look at the political realm and we'll talk about what's going on.
		We have this from Politico.
		The polls are suggesting a huge shift in the electorate.
		Are they right?
		I love this.
		They just won't run the headlines that Biden is losing youth vote.
		Please, your delusion only benefits those who are trying to save this country.
		You see, instead of admitting where their faults are so they can correct them, they ignore the problem.
		They don't want to admit it's real.
		Politico says, it's a significant reversal from recent history.
		President Joe Biden is struggling with young voters, but performing better than most Democrats with older ones.
unidentified		Hey, it's Kimberly Fletcher here from Moms 4 America with some very exciting news.

		See you on the tour!
		Bye!
		Now I wonder why that is... I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I believe Israel plays a strong role in this.
		I think you're seeing a couple things.
		Young Democrats are likely to be progressive and they're going to be anti-Israel.
		And then you have some younger Democrats who are default liberals who have entered the workforce and are saying the system is broken.
		And guess what?
		Donald Trump's message is now reaching them.
		I think that is true.
		They say over Politico something weird is happening beneath the overall stability of the early 2024 polling.
		It's either a sign of massive electoral realignment or the polls are wrong again.
		Polls show former President Donald Trump is ascendant with the youngest block of the electorate, even leading Joe Biden in some surveys, as less engaged young voters spurn Biden.
		Meanwhile, Biden is stronger with seniors than he was four years ago.
		Even his personal image is significantly diminished since he was elected last time.
		That would be a generational shift.
		For decades, Democratic presidential candidates have overwhelmingly won young voters.
		Republicans have done the same with the other end of the electorate.
		Poll after poll is showing it's flipped this year.
		If the changes are real, it would have profound effects on the coalitions both campaigns are building for November.
		No Republican has won young voters since George H.W.
		Bush's landslide victory in 1988.
		And no Democrat has carried the senior vote since Al Gore hammered Bush's son, George W. Bush, on Social Security in 2000.
		Or, Something's wrong in the polls.
		And the mirage of an age inversion is really a warning sign of a structural problem in the 2024 election polling.
		Let's pause now and say, I hope everyone realized, everybody is speculating.
		The polls are the polls, there's different polling methods, and we're trying to parse this data to figure out what is and what may be.
		So we really don't know.
		We have no idea what variables lie before us and what will change in this machine.
		I'd like to talk about this idea of a mirage, a generational shift.
		Could the polls be wrong?
		We need not the polls, my friend.
		We need only take a look at Hassan Piker.
		Hassan, I know you're going to see this.
		I know you're going to make a response to it by all means, please.
		Hasan Piker recently made news when he put up a post saying that he threatened self-harm.
		I don't know if it was meant to be overly dramatic or whatever the issue was.
		I tweeted out, brother, do not hurt yourself.
		Please be well.
		And it's fascinating because in the response video he made to the Tim Kast IRL segment we did about the most prominent progressive media personality, they're surprised that we're saying that, like, They're saying things like they think Hassan's irrelevant, but they keep talking about him.
		Irrelevant?
		No, no, no, no, no, no.
		I think he's massively relevant.
		And I think what we see with the most prominent progressive live streamer as indicative of what may come in this election.
		According to Social Blade, he has 2.5 million followers on Twitch.
		For a while, he was the biggest Twitch streamer.
		Now he got headlines, at least in the independent media and political space.
		Because his viewership dropped from somewhere around 45,000 concurrent viewers to around 10,000.
		A massive drop-off.
		In response to this, there were posts purporting to be from Hasan himself saying that he was angry and depressed and nobody was watching his streams and they were bangers and that he was going to quit or hurt himself.
		Now, we talked about the issue of depression on social media.
		Look, It is the natural cycle of life.
		There were people... I read this story about Dave Foley.
		He's a funny guy.
		He was the lead on NewsRadio.
		He was making a lot of money.
		And then NewsRadio stopped.
		And all of a sudden he wasn't making money.
		Now this is pretending to be a child support thing, but that story shows you.
		You don't get to exist in the limelight forever.
		You don't get to be relevant forever.
		Everybody knows this.
		Name a band that you love from a few years ago, and where are they now?
		They're not generating the same attention as they used to.
		Priorities change, tastes change, and that's really it.
		Some people do make long careers.
		Some people are one-hit wonders.
	You can't end your life over it.
	But what I see here is that the view and function of Hassan is indicative of a shifting Gen Z base for a variety of reasons.
	So let me show you here.
	This is Social Blade.
	Social Blade is a social media tracking, charting, or I think tracking is a better word, but it's not really charting.
	But this is a Hassan's Twitch and we can see Recently, he's begun losing followers.
	We can see here that he's lost, uh, on average 100, he's losing on average 115 followers per day.
	In the last 30 days, 3,450.
	He did have a couple days where he gained some, but he had, uh, March 29th, he lost 1,745.
	And that was around the time those, those messages came out where he was really, really upset.
	We can see here, many people are saying that the cause of Hassan's viewership to decline is due to October 7th, the attack on Israel, where he said things like, even babies are settlers.
	He made the point essentially that the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves from settlers and babies are settlers too.
	A lot of people were really shocked by that.
	Some people have called him Hamas spiker.
	I don't believe it's fair to say that issue is necessarily the driving force in his decline in viewership but I do believe it contributes.
	We can see here when tracking the data that in October he gained 17,000 followers but since then The next month, it was minus 1,262, minus 457, a gain of 1,000, followed by a gain of 733, but in this past month, minus 4,759.
	minus 457, a gain of a thousand, followed by a gain of 733, but in this past month,
	minus 4,759.
	Some people have posted that he is, quote, evil maxing.
	If you're not familiar with what that means, it means just doing something to the utmost.
	So if you say something like jazz maxing, it's like the assumption is that you're wearing jazzy related clothes and playing jazz music on your radio or whatever.
	So evil maxing means he's trying to be evil to the greatest degree imaginable.
	Now, I have this from The Quartering.
	March 27th, he says, This is Hasan Piker's average viewership.
	Notice that peak that I've circled.
	That's October 2023, the month of the October 27th attacks, and the world met, quote, Hamas Piker, and he imploded his Leftovers podcast.
	Hasan is melting down about viewership tanking.
	Perhaps they are correlated.
	He says the plummet continues in 2024.
	His young, impressionable viewers are growing up, paying taxes, and realizing he's a fraud.
	Let's go, landlords.
	I don't believe the Hamas piker is the true reason.
	I think there's many people who agree with him on many of those issues.
	You can see individuals like Jackson Hinkle have gained massive popularity by being very critical of Israel.
	This, to me, indicates the real issue with Hasan Piker's viewership is probably related to a younger demographic being exposed to the realities of the world and realizing the things Hasan has preached for are impractical and detrimental to their lives now that they're growing up and on their own and trying to find their way in the world.
	I do not believe that's every single person.
	There are certainly middle-aged leftist and progressives, they exist.
	But I think there is a harsh reality.
	There's a funny meme where it's a woman on Twitter saying, I gotta stop playing Mario Kart because it's turning me into a landlord.
	Or like a MAGA landlord.
	Every time I'm in first place and get hit by a blue shell, I'm like, what, so because I'm better at the game, I get punished?
	And it's like, yes!
	I love how people are like, the blue shell, that's a good explanation.
	No, it's terrible!
	You work really hard.
	You're playing Mario Kart.
	When you're in the front, you don't get good items.
	When you're in the back, you get the blue shell, which targets the person in front and knocks them back, so you lose!
	That sucks!
	Now, some might argue, yeah, but you got random items along the way that helped you, too.
	Yeah.
	The great equalizer of how Mario Kart works is the further back you are, the better items you get.
	And that's stupid.
	I suppose the issue was they were like, if you're in first place, and you get a really good item, you're gonna win, and it's like, yeah, well, you know, you're in first place.
	So here I am, you know, I'm playing Mario Kart, and I know how to mini-turbo!
	Do you know how to mini-turbo?
	You don't?
	Well, then I win.
	And because I learned the tricks and secrets of Mario Kart, now I get targeted?
	Not okay.
	For those that aren't familiar, in Mario Kart 64, they do have this in the newer version, a mini-turbo is when you slide, because you can jump and skid, and then you flick the controller left and right, the color of the smoke in the vehicle changes, and when you release it, it boosts you, increasing your maximum speed temporarily and accelerating you.
	See, these are the things I know about Mario Kart.
	My point is, Many people are... They're actually telling you this.
	They're saying this to Hasan, okay?
	Not literally, but... When it comes to the issue of being at home and hanging out with your friends, it's easy to say you deserve these things that should be given to you.
	But then when you finally break out of the pack, you make it to the front, and here you are in the real world, they're taking from you.
	And it hurts.
	Most people are not virtuous.
	Most people would simply say, you know what?
	I don't like having my stuff taken from me.
	And so they don't like it.
	When these people start to succeed, get followers, get jobs, make money, and then see how much is taken from them, they immediately say, no way.
	I deserve was always the ethos of these individuals.
	When they were young, they said, I deserve services from you.
	You pay them.
	Healthcare is a human right.
	Then once they made money, bought their own healthcare, they said, I deserve this.
	And someone came to take it from them and they say, don't you take it from me.
	I deserve this.
	And thus, the ethos of I deserve this lends itself more to a Donald Trump when you're older.
	It's as they say, if you don't have, uh, what do they say?
	If you're not liberal when you're young, you have no heart, and if you're not conservative when you're older, you have no head.
	That's what they say.
	I think it's a stupid saying, to be completely honest, but it is a shift that we tended to see for a long time, but as I already pointed out with the data, it's shifting!
	Donald Trump is losing with seniors?
	Wild.
	Now it wouldn't be fair if I didn't point out Timcast viewership as well and YouTube viewership.
	Hasan Piker on YouTube has 1.3 million subscribers.
	I believe that is more than this channel currently has.
	And for the past 30 days he has 6.1 million views.
	I believe he produces less clips on that channel.
	And we can see in the past month he has lost 10,000 subscribers.
	He averages around 203,000 views per day, and gets around 1.4 million views per week.
	It's pretty good.
	It really is.
	We can see that on October, we see this similar, uh, so that's November of 23.
	October, we see a spike into November, but then a drop-off.
	A big drop off in his monthly views, whereas in a year ago, he was getting 21 million views.
	I don't know exactly why.
	We can see today, he has dropped down.
	These are monthly gained views, so they say for the month of March, he's at 7.6.
	So it looks like going into April, he's actually not doing as well.
	We can see that monthly gained subscribers is from January.
	So here's October, which is what Quartering pointed out.
	It drops off substantially.
	He's got a bump.
	Once you get to over a million, they calculate only in the 10,000s.
	But now he's at zero growth.
	We then have TimCast IRL.
	Now I think it's fair to point out we've had huge spikes in growth as well.
	Our viewership on TimCast IRL and this channel have been moderate, I guess?
	So you can see that... The reason I bring this up is because it wouldn't be fair to say anything about Hasan without showing our numbers as well, but I also want to compare October.
	In the past month, Timcast IRL has gained 10,000 subscribers.
	It's a little bit more than that, but they only do it by 10,000.
	So if it says zero, it could be 8,000.
	And if it says 10,000, it could be 19,000.
josh hammer ▲ ● ▼		Hey guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network.
		Look, there are a lot of shows out there that are explaining the political news cycle, what's happening on the Hill, the this, the that.
		There are no other shows that are cutting straight to the point when it comes to the unprecedented lawfare debilitating and affecting the 2024 presidential election.
		We do all of that every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.
		Subscribe and download your episodes wherever you get your podcasts.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		America on Trial with Josh Hammer.
		So, less subscribers than Hasan on YouTube, getting substantially more videos.
		This could be an artifact of I produce more videos, I'm not entirely sure.
		But we can see here...
		Monthly views gained.
		So when we go into October, I don't have the same spike on this channel.
		November is a slight increase.
		December and January are down.
		This is normal.
		Why?
		I produced way less content because of the holidays.
		Then we see in February, we saw a big boost.
		So February, 22 million.
		And into March, 22 million.
		It looks like for April there may be a light dip so far in the calculations.
		And monthly subscriber growth is... Like I was saying, it only measures in tens of thousands.
		So in May of 23 is a 20,000 boost and it's 10,000... So I average what looks to be slightly below... Okay, in February is a 20,000 bump.
		March was a 10,000 bump.
		The reason I'm showing this is because I do not have the same trend as Hasan.
		I believe that is indicative of something unique to Hasan's content on YouTube.
		I'm showing YouTube to YouTube.
		I can then jump over to Timcast IRL, which is in many ways more similar to Hasan in that it is... So at the time Hasan was doing his show, he was averaging about 44,000 live viewers.
		Timcast IRL averages comparably, maybe around 40 to 41.
		It really depends on the guest and what's going on in the news.
		Over the past month, Timcast IRL, with 1.65 million followers, has 24.819 million views, a decline of 14.6 for the previous 30 days.
		Again, it looks like there's a general decline for everybody, maybe April, or maybe we just suck, I don't know.
		So, we average 827,000 views per day and 5.79 million per week, 24.8 for the past month.
		We also did not have an October bump.
		There was in November a slight decline.
		I believe this is because we took a week off for Thanksgiving, which makes the most sense.
		And then you have, I don't know, maybe Hasan did as well.
		But then you have December.
		It returns to normal, which is actually surprising because we took a week off at the end of December.
		January is an increase.
		February is an increase.
		March was slightly down.
		We had 29 million in February.
		Subscriber growth has been fairly consistent at We did have, what looks like one month in February of 23, a decline of 10,000 subscribers.
		I don't know what that was.
		Uh, I think that was around, wasn't that was like around when we had Crowder on the show?
		So we probably saw a big boost, and then many of them unsubscribed.
		But we consistently average around 10 to 20,000.
		Again, I'll stress, I'm showing TimCast numbers because it would not be fair to compare Hassan blindly, and I wouldn't want to compare him to anyone else.
		I think it's fair based on the difference in our political views.
		You can see if we've suffered similar or different things.
		Thus, my whole point with this is, not to pick on Hassan in any way, whatever.
		Hasan was the big dude.
		He was the biggest progressive streamer.
		I don't believe that is the case anymore.
		I checked out one of his streams a couple days ago, and it was at 10,000.
		And so what people have been saying, it's like, dude, that was comparable to Timcast IRL, around 40k.
		I think, often, bigger.
		Granted, he was doing longer shows.
		It's a different format.
		But it was typically slightly above IRL's live viewership, where we've been hitting maybe like, I don't know, 39 to 40.
		I think last night was like 39,000 peak concurrent viewers.
		And he dropped off like that.
		I don't believe a drop-off like that is purely just because of Israel Hamas.
		I believe it's a combination of things.
		I think what we're seeing, and I'll stress this again, the reason I'm saying this about Hassan is not to pick on one guy or to jump up drama or whatever.
		By all means, Hassan can make his response video.
		His community is dwindling.
		There are a bunch of reasons why that may be happening.
		I think a strong reason is that many in Gen Z are realizing this political ideology doesn't work.
	Why is it that Gen Z, who should be inheriting buildings, businesses, industry... We're talking about people who are 25, okay?
	You are becoming leaders.
	You are entering the workforce.
	They should be at the point where they're becoming millionaires.
	Not literally every Gen Z person, no.
	But this is the age of the emergent professional.
	Instead, they're watching luxury hotels be given to criminal aliens who aren't from this country.
	You want to talk about the idea of entitlement?
	It is fair to say that the younger generation is entitled to the fruits and labors of the older generation.
unidentified		100%.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The Brooklyn Bridge is handed down to us.
		We must maintain it.
		But it was built by men and for which we stand on the shoulders of giants.
		We inherit that bridge.
		Which means, when the building is built, when the homes are built, when Gen Z enters the workforce, they should be inheriting access to these things that their forefathers, ancestors, parents, grandparents, and neighbors have built.
		It's how it works.
		The old generation dies.
		The properties and wealth are handed down to the next generation.
		Gen Z, of course, isn't going to inherit multi-million dollar properties.
		Some will, when they have rich parents, or find out they have a long-lost uncle who left them everything.
		But no.
		At 25, you're supposed to be inheriting the middle management jobs.
		You're supposed to be getting salaries where you can finally afford to sit for a down payment on a house.
		And it's not happening.
		And why isn't it happening?
		Well, for some of these people, they're going into the workforce and realizing their tax dollars are being taken from them to fund war in Ukraine and Israel.
		For many of them, they don't like Israel.
		That's a kick in the butt.
		You mean when I vote for Democrats, this is what they do?
		Yeah.
		And hey, I'm not gonna stand shoulder-to-shoulder with these kids on their moral positions over the Middle East and their activism, but I'll certainly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in saying, how about we keep our tax dollars here, fix the pipes in cities that got lead in their pipes, secure our borders, bring back our jobs, and how about that house actually be given to a 25-year-old who wants to start a family?
		I'll tell you this about student loan forgiveness.
		I'm for it.
		I'm not for what Joe Biden's doing.
		I think it's a crackpot attempt at trying to buy votes, but I'll tell you this.
		We cannot persist in a system where young people are saddled with debt so much so they can't afford to start a family.
		I don't care if they want to have kids or 27 girlfriends or whatever they want to do.
		The problem is they get these degrees that don't do anything for them.
		Don't give them the wages they need.
		They can't buy a house and they got to pay an extra bill.
		It's indentured servitude that doesn't do anything for them.
		We need Gen Z to be free from debt, we need them to have access to good paying jobs and healthcare, so that they can say, here's someone I fancy, let's start a family and have kids, it's what I dream of.
		Then, we have a younger generation succeeding, developing, and building.
		Look man, conservatives should want Gen Z to have kids, because they have kids, they have responsibility, and they will fight for their children, they will defend this country.
		But it is the debt that is one of the main hurdles stopping them from succeeding.
		I think young people are seeing all of this and they're saying, dude, this is BS.
		And for this, a prominent progressive streamer like Hasan Piker loses his viewership.
		He's streaming to young Gen Z kids who are watching on Twitch.
		They're now older, and a variety of things happen.
		Many of them are still progressive, but they just don't watch that often because they're at work now.
		They graduated from high school, they got a summer job, can't watch.
		Some of them now entered the workforce, and they're busy at work, can't watch.
		Some have entered college, can't watch.
		We at TimCastIRL, you know, we track these numbers, I know all about it.
		In the winter, viewership goes up.
		In the summer, viewership goes down.
		I'm not going to cry about it.
		I'm just going to keep doing what I feel like doing.
		And we'll grow to the best of our abilities that we can grow.
		It's why the business evolves.
		It's why we do different things.
		It's why we have the Culture War podcast on Friday mornings.
		It's why we launched a coffee company.
		It's why we're doing events.
		It's why we're buying physical locations.
		Because you have to expand and evolve your business, otherwise you'll end up like Blockbuster.
		But aside from that, I'll stress again, I'm not trying to rag here on Hassan, but what I love the most is the comments.
		When Hassan responded to our TimCast IRL segment talking about his decline in viewership, comments were saying, I used to be a fan of Tim Pool, but then I realized he was a grifter and now I watch Hassan.
		I'm like, that's not true.
		I'm like, sure, there's probably some people, but I don't understand.
		How a person could claim to watch the segments I produce, me being the notorious milquetoast fence-sitter who doesn't take a position on things, mostly, and they're like, he's a grifter.
unidentified		What?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I didn't even give an opinion.
		Like, I didn't even choose.
		It's like, Tim, who's right?
		Israel or Palestine?
		I'm like, I don't know, man.
		I just don't think we should pay for it.
		So what is there really to be like, he's a grifter?
		Okay, how about I just choose one of the sides?
		I don't know.
		That's why I think these things are mostly BS.
		When you can see that our viewership is in steady growth, and it follows the ebbs and flows of the political cycles, and that's what a political show does, and our revenue's been growing, we've been building up the business.
		I'll tell you this too.
		Perhaps one of the issues for Hasan really just comes down to business acumen.
		And for me, for instance, in November of 2020, we were getting like 120 million views per month across the entire network.
		And that put a huge target on our back, made a lot of money.
		Holy crap, we made a lot of money.
		Like, for real.
		You can understand how much money that was.
		And I said, it's not about the views.
		It's about the quality of the viewer.
		And so that's when we shifted to launching our TimCast.com members, where I would much rather have... I wish I had these numbers, but like, you look at the Daily Wire, what do they have, like a million paying subscribers?
		Damn.
		I'm jealous.
		I'd rather have 10,000 paying members than 100,000 followers.
		10,000 paying members who care.
		You don't need to own the world in order to succeed and build up a business.
		What Tim Kast needs is Dedicated audience members who believe in the mission and like the content we produce, who are willing to pay $10 a month to watch our uncensored show.
		We have a whole extra hour-long podcast, Monday through Thursday.
		Maybe we should figure out a better way of distributing it and making money, because it's a call-in show.
		A segment followed by four to five call-ins, Monday through Thursday, for an hour.
		$10 a month, and you get access to all of them.
		It's about $20 or so per month.
		And we do that, and that's basically what sustains the whole operation.
		I do make money off the YouTube videos, but I decided instead of mass-producing content and just cranking it out, we should do less content but to people who genuinely care, and that's been the mission for some time now.
		Long story short, outside of all the business stuff, I think what we're seeing is a shift in the youth vote as they get older.
		It was always going to happen.
		But what that means is, Hassan can't age with that same demographic and maintain the same worldview.
		I jokingly said on Twitter, it's time for him to go full MAGA.
		But he's going to have to now evolve with his viewers.
		The problem?
		He's already a millionaire.
		So he already knows the pitfalls of taxes and financing and home ownership.
		I would only assume then, He just says things he thinks are progressive to maintain the audience, and eventually it doesn't work.
		We'll see how this goes.
		I think the Gen Z shift is really interesting, but there's more news to come, so I'll leave it there.
		Next segment is coming up at 4 p.m.
		on this channel.
		Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
		If you ever wondered what this country would be like without the Bill of Rights, or without the entirety of the Constitution, you need only look at Brazil.
		They don't have free speech.
		You can actually go to jail for telling jokes.
		I got a story about that for you in a second.
		The big news right now is that Elon Musk will be investigated over fake news.
		Why this matters?
		Well, for one, props to Elon Musk for defending free speech in Brazil in light of threats from the government.
		They want Elon to ban certain accounts, and he says, why?
		That goes against the constitution of your country.
		They say, we don't care.
		We are looking in Brazil at what would happen to this country if we lose our rights.
		We are looking at Brazil to see our potential future.
		Wired Magazine, writing that Elon is propping up fake news in far right, even going as far to call Andrew Tate a convicted human trafficker.
		You guys better lawyer up.
		This is the game they play.
		They are basically claiming that Elon Musk is trying to unlock these fake news accounts that lie about everything because they are on the side of Bolsonaro.
	Yeah.
	There have been accusations of voter fraud.
	YouTube, I believe, actually has a rule in place that they'll ban you if you argue there was voter fraud in Brazil.
	It's really funny how these things are playing out.
	I feel like there is something afoot.
	I think most of you would agree.
	But we are certainly being treated like chickens in a chicken coop.
	Whether it is corporate interests, globally, or political interests, whatever it may be, there are powerful individuals who believe they are smarter and better than you, and they would do evil things to retain that power because, well, they're just.
	I was saying this on Timcast IRL.
	Do we care?
	Do I care?
	Does anybody care?
	Who's in charge of Chicken City?
	Chicken City, for those who don't know, is our chicken coop where we have a live stream running 24-7 of the chickens.
	Now, there is a pecking order.
	There is a rooster who's in charge.
	None of us care.
	They can't do anything to stop us.
	We can go in and take whatever we want.
	We take their eggs.
	Their delicious chicken eggs.
	That's how I feel we're being treated.
	Now, The challenge for these powerful interests is that they're as human as we are, and we are able to challenge them back.
	Thanks to the likes of Elon Musk, defending free speech, it's not going to be so easy for them.
	Brazil is just one example.
	They want to put ex-employees in jail.
	That's right.
	Elon Musk says that their employees have been told they'll be arrested.
	Elon is now trying to get them out of the country.
	But things are getting crazy.
	We've got a lot to break down in this story.
	The most important element of which, my friends, is looking at what they're saying about Brazil, the actions they're taking, and then looking at the parallel in the United States.
	They would throw me in prison.
	They would throw Crowder.
	They would throw, you name it, Viva Frye.
	He's Canadian, but yeah, they'd lock him up too.
	Anyone who opposes their regime with what they determined to be fake news, right to jail.
	Because they're evil.
	They are evil people.
	You see, I think there's good and evil.
	I think people who are good are trying to build and repair.
	They're trying to network.
	I think evil people are trying to destroy and steal.
	Evil people have their own interests in mind, but the problem, the reason why I say it's evil, and there is malicious, and there is the banality of evil.
	People who are evil believe that they are better, they are smarter, and everything must be done their way.
	The only problem is they're actually really stupid.
	Really stupid.
	No single individual human can truly understand the complexities of the machine.
	That is, all of human society.
	A decentralized network is the best version, and I'll give you a really simple example.
	At the turn of the century of the 1900s, there were reports that the cities would soon be rife with horse manure!
	So much so, that they would be shut down.
	There would be piles of horse waste on every corner, and there'd be no way to deal with it!
	Just too many horses.
	It was a crisis.
	Until the automobile was invented.
	And then everyone kind of forgot about the horse manure crisis.
	Now we have climate change, they say.
	You see, here's the thing.
	Midwits, people who are kind of smart and a little above average, but not that smart, can see there's a problem and then believe direct intervention is the method to solve it when it's not.
	Decentralization is.
	Right?
	There's a funny story out of India that I have.
	It might be India.
	It might be Pakistan.
	I don't know.
	Snakes were in this village and they were running amok and they were like, we got too many snakes.
	So the government said, if you bring us the head of a snake, we'll pay you for it.
	Now you'd think this would result in all of the snakes being wiped out.
	No.
	What happened was the villagers captured the snakes and started breeding them and then killing the babies and bringing the heads to the government because it was free money, guaranteed.
	It actually made the problem worse.
	You cannot, as an individual, solve all these problems.
	Now perhaps these powerful elites are more interested in an AI simply taking over and ruling for us.
	I wonder how that would play out.
	Perhaps it would be the best system.
	Yeah, the best system at tricking you, manipulating you, and driving you into oblivion.
	Let's read the news from the AP and then we'll go through what's currently going on.
	Rio de Janeiro.
	A crusading Brazilian Supreme Court justice has included Elon Musk as a target in an ongoing investigation over the dissemination of fake news and has opened a separate investigation into the U.S.
	business executive for alleged obstruction.
	In his decision, Justice Alexandre de Moraes noted that Musk on Saturday began waging a public disinformation campaign regarding the top court's actions.
	And that Musk continued the following day, most notably with comments that his social media company X would cease to comply with the court's orders to block certain accounts.
	Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, who took over Twitter in late 2022, accused De Moraes of suppressing free speech and violating Brazil's constitution, and noted on X that users could seek to bypass any shutdown of the social media platform by using VPNs or virtual private networks.
	Musk will be investigated for alleged intentional criminal instrumentalization of acts as part of an investigation into a network of people known as digital militias who allegedly spread defamatory fake news and threats against Supreme Court justices according to the text of the decision.
	The new investigation will look into whether Musk engaged in obstruction, criminal organization, and incitement.
	This is the game they play.
	They play it here.
	The corporate press.
	One of my favorites was when the Today Show ran a fake story about me.
	They did this great thing where one of their crackpot lying writers included some random blog post that made crap up about me in a news article.
	The story was then picked up by a variety of other mainstream news outlets.
	NBC then removed the source, isolating themselves from the defamation.
	The other news platforms all began citing each other.
	Without naming them, you had three different platforms.
	News Platform A said, according to News Platform B, Tim Pool did this.
	News Platform B says, according to News Platform C, Tim Pool did this.
	And News Platform C said, according to News Platform A, creating a circle of fake citation.
	So they were all referring to someone else.
	In essence, themselves.
	That's the game they play.
	And then they say, if you dare try to expose or call this out, you are fake news and far right.
	Because it's a cult.
	They want to keep stupid people wrapped up In a little ball and voting and doing as they see fit.
	This is the end of humanity if they succeed.
	These people cannot run a system effectively.
	One person cannot.
	We have seen it time and time again.
	Command economies don't work.
	They just don't.
	Take a look at the Soviet Union.
	69 years, that was all they mustered up.
	Take a look at North Korea compared to South Korea.
	Nice try.
	Now you look at China.
	Ah, yes.
	How does China do it?
	See, China doesn't necessarily have a command economy.
	They sort of do, but they let people use the free market.
	And I shouldn't say free market, but they let people use market-driven distribution to actually develop and expand while monitoring and controlling every element of it.
	So, it's a lighter touch than a command economy.
	It's the next stage in evolution.
	The Chinese Communist Party has a piece of all of the companies in China, and they can control them if they act out of line.
	That is, anything that threatens their power will be crushed.
	Anything that expands and grows is totally fine.
	And that seems to be an effective, dictatorial way to run things, but hey, guess what?
	It still requires a certain degree of decentralization.
	It does.
	We can certainly call them communists because they're authoritarians, and you can say the same thing of Brazil.
	Take a look at this from your worst nightmare.
	This is Global Affairs and there's a picture of the guy.
	Global Affairs on X says, so to clarify, this is a post from April 6th, from a couple days ago.
	X Corp has been forced by court decisions to block certain popular accounts in Brazil.
	We've informed those accounts that we have taken this action.
	We do not know the reasons these blocking orders have been issued.
	We do not know which posts are alleged to violate the law.
	We are prohibited from saying which court or judge issued the order or on what grounds.
	We are prohibited from saying which accounts are impacted.
	We are threatened with daily fines if we fail to comply.
	We believe that such orders are not in accordance with the Marco Civil da Internet, or the Brazilian Federal Constitution, and we challenge the orders legally where possible.
	The people of Brazil, regardless of their political beliefs, are entitled to freedom of speech, due process, and transparency from their own authorities.
	Nicolas Ferreira says, Elon said that Alexandre has Lula on a leash.
	and that he's put his finger on the scale to elect him. As a member of the Brazilian Congress
	and representing millions of people, I ask you to give us more information. This will be crucial for
	the future of our country. Elon Musk. Elon said, We need to get our employees in Brazil to a safe
	place or otherwise not in a position of responsibility.
	Then we will do a full data dump. Oh, boy. Musk says they have been told they will be
	arrested.
	Let's take a look at how the corporate press in the United States is approaching the issue.
	The corporate press, my friends, is the enemy of the people.
	And they are the allies of evil.
	They are an instrument of evil elites.
	People who want to... Well, let's just put it this way.
	They blow up kids overseas.
	Take that for what it is.
	You want to talk about Afghanistan?
	You want to talk about Iraq?
	You want to talk about Gaza?
	Whatever, don't care.
	Powerful global elites have no problem blowing up weddings, starting wars, under the guise that they are better men who should be allowed to do it.
	It's oversimplified, I know.
	Military and war, those are tough, tough subjects.
	But take a look at how they lie.
	Wired reports Elon Musk is platforming far-right activists in Brazil, defying a court order.
	Experts warn they are trying to use Brazil as a laboratory on how to interfere in local politics.
	A Brazilian court has announced that it will be opening an investigation into ex-owner Elon Musk for obstruction.
	Yada yada, we know all of this.
	While the court has not released the list of accounts it requested for blocking or investigation, the Sao Paulo-based newspaper, Estado, reported that it includes the fugitive far-right influencer, Alan dos Santos.
	FUGITIVE!
	Far-right influencer.
	Who is this fugitive far-right influencer?
	The fake news kingpin of Brazil.
	Ooh, look at him.
	He looks dangerous.
	Who's this guy?
	Alan Dos Santos, a former seminarian from Rio de Janeiro, started a blog.
	He had given up his religious vocation and discovered a new career path in blogging while traveling the United States.
	He chose the name Terça Livre as an attempt to rebrand the initials of liberation theology, a form of Catholicism prevalent in Latin America that emphasizes the religious imperatives to liberate the oppressed.
	Dos Santos initially published a video every Tuesday in a sort of unscripted talk show in which he attacked opponents, left-wing politicians and traditional media, and expressed ultra-conservative views against a supposed culture threat seeking to destroy families.
	Okay.
	So the court said, he's fake news, and because he's a liar, it's time to arrest him.
	That's the truth about Brazil.
	Let me tell you a story, and I'm gonna drag in this comedian, who has nothing to do with anything, but it's an interesting story.
	Rafinha Bastos.
	Do you guys know Rafinha?
	Let me pull up his account.
	He's not a very political guy.
	He's not a conservative guy or anything like that, but he has a very interesting story.
	I met Rafinha about 10 years ago, and, you know, in Brazilian, it's, you know, the R is Ha, so it's Rafinha.
	Rafinha Bastos.
	He is 47, from Brazil, and some call him the Joe Rogan of Brazil.
	He launched, he basically brought stand-up comedy to Brazil.
	Before him, it was all slapstick.
	Comedy was, you know, two people would be standing on stage and a guy would walk in dressed up like a woman and then slip on a banana peel.
	He comes along and he does stand-up comedy.
	Now let me tell you the story.
	I wonder if they actually have it here.
	They probably do.
	This was, uh... Actually, maybe they don't.
	I guess they don't.
	Controversy doesn't appear on his Wikipedia page.
	Let me tell you the story of Afinio.
	He was on a talk show, and this is as the story was told to me, I believe, by... I don't know if actually Hafinha told me this story, but I know him, and many other people.
	He was on a talk show, popular, prominent in Brazil, on TV, and they were talking about a pregnant celebrity.
	And there was a question over whether pregnant women are still attractive.
	And someone, they asked him, they said, do you think she's still attractive?
	And he went, eh, I'd do her and the baby.
	And that was it.
	A joke so shockingly offensive that they threatened him with arrest.
	Brazil does not have free speech.
	For telling this joke, they were going to try and put him in jail.
	He ended up losing his job and he got cancelled.
	I believe what happened after this is that he launched a YouTube channel, maintained wide popularity because he's a funny guy and he's very talented, and was able to succeed and carry on his career.
	But they pulled him from TV.
	They said, no, you're done, you're offensive, and you're lucky you're not going to jail.
	I think he got fined.
	In the United States, you can tell jokes.
	They'll try and ban you.
	That's true.
	But it's not... It just depends, I suppose.
	You see, we have free speech, so they can't arrest you.
	But they can try and destroy your ability to communicate.
	Thanks to Elon Musk and Chris Pavlovsky of Rumble, we are winning the free speech fight.
	Well, I should say thanks to everybody involved supporting these platforms, that's for sure.
	Now take a look at this.
	They say this guy, Dos Santos, was a supporter of Jair Bolsonaro.
	They said that in 2020, he fled the country to avoid investigation for disseminating disinformation.
	That's crazy.
	It also includes right-wing YouTuber Bruno Ayub, known as Monarch, who has over a million followers on X, and has argued that Brazil should recognize the Nazi Party.
	You see, I don't believe them when they say these things, because they're liars.
	And Brazilian billionaire and Bolsonaro supporter, Luciano Heng.
	Separately, after taking over the company, Musk reactivated the accounts of Brazilian far-right politicians Carla Zambelli, Gustavo Geyer, and Nicolas Ferreira, who we just saw his tweet.
	Ferreira, a Bolsonaro supporter, openly questioned security of Brazil's electronic voting machines, even though he won his local legislative race.
	I don't see how that matters.
	Thanks, Wired, for including information that doesn't mean anything.
	Now, take a look at this.
	Let's talk about how the corporate press handles things.
	They say, under Musk, X has become a haven for the far-right and disinformation.
	After taking over, Musk offered amnesty to users who had been banned from the platform, including right-wing influencer and convicted human trafficker, Andrew Tate.
	Whoa!
	I saw that right away.
	Andrew Tate has been convicted of nothing.
	As far as I can tell, and I'm like, that's a bold...
	Bold thing to say.
	That is defamation per se.
	So let me explain this for you.
	Defamation would be if you say someone did a thing that they did not do and it's disparaging, you could libel, slander, etc.
	So defamation is both, libel is written.
	This would be libel, not slander.
	It is written.
	But it's defamatory.
	So if I say, like, John, you know, Person A kicked a dog.
	And they did not actually kick a dog.
	I have defamed them.
	Now hold on.
	Hold on.
	There is something in many states called anti-SLAPP.
	SLAPP means Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.
	Makes it very difficult to sue someone for defaming a public figure.
	Then you also have something called Times v. Sullivan, a court precedent that says In order to actually advance in your lawsuit, you need what's called actual malice.
	Which means the person who said person A kicked a dog, either knew they were lying or had complete reckless disregard for the truth.
	A nigh-impossible standard.
	So typically, in the United States, you can say anything you want about anybody, and no one's gonna be able to sue you.
	Now, you could sue anybody you want, but it'll get dismissed in two seconds.
	Now there's defamation per se.
	Defamation per se bypasses these requirements.
	Defamation per se is defamation that is so shockingly egregious, you need not even prove damages.
	That's interesting.
	So here's how it works.
	If someone says, Tim Pool did bad thing.
	And then I say, I did not do bad thing, and here's proof he knew I did not do bad thing.
	The court would then say, how much money did you lose?
	And I'd say, well, it's hard to quantify, I don't know.
	Okay, case dismissed.
	You need to prove damages on top.
	Which is insane!
	Everyone knows defamation will cause you damages.
	How many untold subscribers, how many viewers do you lose?
	We can't even begin to calculate!
	Because it's hard to correlate, but you do!
	It's a fact, everybody knows it.
	But that standard is there.
	Now, defamation per se.
	Accusing someone of having a disease or committing a crime.
	This is where it bypasses these standards.
	Accusing Andrew Tate of being a convicted human trafficker.
	Human trafficking is an atrocity.
	It is a crime against humanity.
	I hope Wired lawyers up.
	I have a feeling in this regard, Andrew Tate's going to file a lawsuit because the dude is very wealthy.
	And he's, look, Andrew Tate's the kind of guy who can go to the most prestigious lawyers in the world and say, here's a $10 million retainer.
	Win.
	And you can walk away.
	Wired's in trouble.
	I can't believe this got passed.
	Andrew Tate was not convicted of anything.
	That's the ongoing thing with Andrew Tate is that he's been accused of things.
	They have him on house arrest.
	He's bouncing back and forth.
	Now, I'll be very careful.
	Maybe there's something I missed and I could be wrong.
	So I'll just put it this way.
	That's a shockingly egregious thing to say without a link.
	I mean, what is this?
	They don't even... That's crazy.
	They've made the claim without providing any source material.
	This is just an article from 2022 about reinstating Andrew Tate.
	I didn't even mention Andrew Tate.
	So, let's see, Marjorie Greene, the Babylon Bee, Kathy Griffin, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate.
	So, yeah, they have no source backing this up.
	That's wild.
	This is the world that they live in.
	Elon Musk is the bad guy, while they lie, cheat, and steal.
	That's crazy.
	Ian Miles Chong goes into a little bit more about how Alexandre de Moraes got into power.
	His predecessor, Thierry Zavasky, is that how you pronounce it?
	Perished in a mysterious plane crash following his authorization of an investigation into dozens of politicians for corruption in 2017 as part of Operation Car Wash.
	His twin-engine aircraft crashed during a holiday flight to Rio de Janeiro, as reported by Time.
	The inquiry ensnared almost every Brazilian politician, including President Michael Temer, who was then president and named in plea bargains.
	Zavaski had just returned from vacation and was shortly due to rule on the eligibility of plea bargain testimonies by 77 Odebrecht executives, which are thought likely to implicate many of the most powerful figures in Brazil and its Latin American neighbors, the Guardian reported.
	A further investigation into the crash found no mechanical failures of the plane.
	Per the Guardian and other reports, flight recordings suggested there was no equipment malfunction and communications with the pilot had no indication that he was suffering any difficulties.
	Enter Alexandre DeMoraes, who was President Temer's appointed replacement for Zavosky while serving as Minister of Justice and Public Security for Temer's government.
	Prior to his appointment in 2016, DeMoraes was at the beck and call of President Temer, who was allegedly the subject of a hacker who was trying to blackmail the president with compromising information and photos he got from Temer's wife's stolen phone.
	DeMoraes leapt into action at Temer's request and arrested the alleged hacker in a heartbeat.
	Guess you could say that Tamar Odom won when he appointed him to lead the judiciary.
	And here you go.
unidentified		Yeah, they're evil.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's evil people.
		Elon Musk says, let the people speak.
		They say, no.
		Only they choose what is true.
		Only they choose who is allowed to speak.
		There is no argument.
		None.
		For censoring opinions you don't like.
		They say it's fake news, though.
		It's disinformation.
		Cry more.
		You've lost the argument.
		I love it right now.
		Republicans are like, we better not push pro-life policies because then we'll lose the elections.
		And it's funny because... Let me pull this up and tell you the reality of free speech.
		I think I got it down here, right here.
		Here we go.
		We have this here comic.
		I love it.
		An elephant saying, I would rather lose elections than compromise my pro-life principles.
		Well, Donald Trump stands behind him.
		Then it says 2028.
		The elephant says, why is this happening?
		And a donkey has a big sign saying, after birth abortion passed, pack the Supreme Court passed, abolish the Second Amendment passed.
		That's a correct assessment.
		It's an admission that the pro-life position is the losing political position.
		And that by adopting a position they can't win, it'll compromise their other potential victories.
		But I can respect this.
		It's free speech.
		They admit it.
		They say we can't advocate for that.
		Otherwise we'll lose.
		And if we do, we lose a lot more.
		Free speech should be allowed.
		And if your issue is that your ideas don't win, then you back off from those ideas.
		The Republicans are saying it outright right now.
		Their best bet is not to push forward pro-life.
		It is a losing position.
		That's not how the Democrats would have it.
		They would have you shut down, arrested, imprisoned.
		They would have you, just like Brazil, locked up over this.
		Things are getting interesting.
		This data dump should be interesting.
		We'll see.
		Good luck!
		Godspeed, Elon Musk.
		Next segment is coming up at 1 p.m.
		on this channel.
		Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
		Whenever the corporate press or the left writes some ridiculous fake news, I actually appreciate it.
		Because it's not the ridiculous fake news I fear, it's the fake news that appears to be real.
		It's a big challenge, right?
		You get a story that says, like, Donald Trump, uh, you know, committed fraud or something, and they make it sound as real as possible.
		And the real story of Donald Trump's fraud is that There was no trial.
		It was a summary judgment.
		The quote-unquote victims, the lenders, said, he never committed fraud and we want to do more business with him.
		And they said, doesn't matter.
		We say it's fraud.
		That's scary.
		But this is why I like the absurd fake news.
		Because then you can show it to people and be like, dude, they're lying to you.
		Don't believe it.
		Question everything.
		Ladies and gentlemen, I give you this masterpiece.
	From Salon.
	Men punching random women in New York City.
	A desperate last gasp of the male rage fueling MAGA.
	That's right.
	Because the men who are wandering around New York City punching women in the face are Trump supporters apparently.
	Oh boy.
	This is like they took Jussie Smollett and they just said fire away full-auto Jussie Smollett-ism.
	All of these guys punching women?
	Trump supporters.
	Okay, they're not literally saying that.
	They say, random New York City attacks are an extreme manifestation of men feeling entitled to women's time and attention.
	No, it is crazy people and criminals who you let out of jail based on policies overwhelmingly supported by women, then punching these women in the face.
	You know what I am mostly offended by?
	I can appreciate the article because it's easy to debunk, and you show it to someone and they're gonna be like, oh geez.
	It's just so absurd I can show you how they lie about everything.
	What offends me the most is that I didn't make the article.
	Don't you know who I am?
	I'm the guy who tweeted that I thought it was funny women were being punched in the face in New York.
	And, um, you know, this is what I tweeted.
	It's got 9.75 million views.
	And, uh, I love this.
	So, MacArthur was right, responded, they hated him because he spoke the truth when no one else would.
	Uh, the point of this tweet, when I said I think it's funny that women in New York City are getting punched in the face, is not that, uh, in any way I enjoy the pain of any of these individuals or anything like that.
	It's not schadenfreude.
	It's that, like, overwhelmingly people voted for what they wanted, and this was a manifestation of what they wanted, and now they're complaining about it.
	This is not schadenfreude.
	I can explain it very simply.
	You have people in New York saying, I want to vote for policies in which they release criminals from jails.
	By doing so, you increase the risk you will get attacked by these criminals.
	Now, for the average person who accepts that, that's totally fine.
	You're allowed to vote for these things.
	But for the people who are screaming and complaining, and I'm like, actions meet consequences.
	That's, that's, it's ironic, in a sense.
	That the policies that were meant to make a more perfect union that they voted for have, in fact, made things worse.
	It's great irony.
	Irony is a form of humor.
	Calm down.
	I hope these women are safe.
	I hope they're not hurt.
	And I hope they vote to stop these things.
	Now, of course, some women said, I didn't vote for this and I have no choice but to live there.
unidentified		And it's like, I don't believe that.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Sorry, you're never gonna make an argument that you have to live in New York City.
		I can certainly understand because of issues of like criminal convictions, because of business contracts or family, you can't leave New York State.
		But you don't have to live in New York City and get punched in the face!
		I suppose, if you're like, a city worker, you have to, so there are some exceptions.
		I'm just, I'm not, it's not absolute.
		Here's the article from Salon.
		Men are punching random women on the streets of New York City.
		As usual with these kinds of diffuse and chaotic stories, there's much that is unknown, including how often it's happening, how many people are involved, or whether it's at all coordinated.
		Ooh, that's right, a group of men have teamed up, planned, to go around punching women in the face.
		What we do know is it is already alarming.
		CNN reported that dozens of women have discussed being victims on social media and formally interviewed six of them.
		NBC News reports there have been at least three arrests.
		CBS News reports that NYPD released images last week of a fourth man, wanted for allegedly punching a woman in Union Square.
		Even reality TV star Bethany Frankel says she's been victimized.
		I'd like to introduce these women to harsh reality.
		Now, of course, there are many post-liberal, former Democrats, and maybe even, like, moderate holdouts, women, who understand the nature of reality.
		And that is, men are crazy.
		Not that men are crazy, but men are aggressive.
		Men are not women.
		And there's pros and there's cons to the behaviors of men and women, but men tend to be larger, have more muscle mass, more bone density, more skin collagen, more aggression, And thus, you are likely to get, even with the slightly smaller of the population, there's slightly less men than women, you're going to get... Look, if you've got 2 million people in Manhattan, it only takes 15 people to go around punching women for it to create a problem for women, because they're punching lots of women.
		And that happens with guys.
		And so there are good guys, and there are more good guys than bad guys.
		And these good guys want to protect women.
		In the reality of the world, You have social norms and gender norms based on protecting women, not just from men, but from external threats.
		Men are the disposable gender.
		I don't mean that to be disparaging, but it's true.
		If you have 99 men, if you have 100 women and 100 men in a tribe, and 99 women die, that tribe is done.
		They can't have enough babies to come back from this.
		That woman's gonna have to have a baby every 9 months, and then maybe in 20 years, assuming she has enough kids and some of them are female, they can try to repopulate, but an aging population will dwindle.
		If 99 men die, and you have 100 women, Now, to be fair, women and men together make more humans, sure.
		But men can only, literally, seed.
		And women can produce.
		So, one man can have a hundred kids in nine months.
		A lot of work for one guy.
		But you get my point.
		This means that men have to protect women, at least pre-industrial civilization.
		Now we're in an industrial era, What do men have to do?
		I mean, there's cops, there's guns, women can be armed.
		So what happens now is...
		You enter into a society where men do protect women, and they have laws as such.
		But over the past couple of decades, feminism has taken the front seat.
		Women are now voting for whatever they want.
		They're voting for progressive policies, sidelining men.
		They're not interested in the strong masculine men who will take charge.
		They're interested in policies that they think make sense, and that's fine.
		There is a voting distinction between men and women, for whatever reason.
		You can look at the minutia and see that some women are conservative, some aren't, but there's voting patterns at large.
		They then vote to release violent, deranged men, and those men will then go around punching them in the face.
		So, of course, instead of accepting the reality that there are gender roles for a reason, not that we should maintain them in force, but that they do exist, and women would greatly benefit from men being held responsible for these actions, and they greatly benefit from men protecting them from bad people, including other women, Instead of accepting that, they say, it's MAGA!
		Men feel entitled!
		Okay, dude, look.
		This is why I said it's funny.
		Look at this headline, okay?
		You- I- I wrote that I think it's funny this is happening.
		This is how they respond to it, okay?
		This is quite literally a firetruck on fire, alright?
		We're gonna pass laws to make this city better and safer.
		Oh no, the consequences of our actions!
		That's irony!
		Okay, I wish it wasn't happening, but come on.
		Here we go.
		Women report being assaulted by men of different races and ages still across the different stories.
		A couple of similarities pop up.
		The alleged victims are mostly young and pretty, and most of them say they were minding their own business when they were attacked.
	Some were on their phones or reading tablets.
	Others were speaking to friends or daydreaming.
	Whatever they were doing, they were just living their lives, and that, it seems, is what enraged their assailants.
unidentified		Yes.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Crazy guys.
		You see, the MAGA guy isn't the dude who thinks he's entitled to a woman.
		It's the guy who wants to white knight.
		Be all ripped and saying like, I will protect you, ma'am!
		That's what they dream of.
		These guys are crazy low-value beta males who are angry they can't actually get a woman, so they attack them.
		Here's the problem for you, ladies.
		There was a video called 10 Hours of Walking Through New York as a Woman, where simply saying, how do you do, was deemed as harassment.
		So, what do you think's gonna happen, when you're walking down the street, and there's a guy approaching you to punch you in the face?
		Dude, who, what guy, is gonna walk up and intervene?
		Now don't get me wrong, Me, but I don't live in New York anymore.
		I lived in New York for a while, moved out, and I said, this place is crazy, and now I'm in West Virginia.
		And you know what?
		I ain't got nothing to worry about.
		You know why?
		Because the ladies out here are strapped.
		If a guy started to walk up to a woman in West Virginia, where it's not very dense population-wise, and like, it was in a creepy and threatening manner, the woman would simply just put her hand on her revolver and her holster and be like, how's it going?
		The guy would be like, And he'd walk away.
		I saw a guy walking down the street with a crossbow once and a bunch of bolts and I just was like, I don't know, whatever.
		What do you think would happen if a woman was minding her own business walking down the sidewalk in a West Virginia small town and some guy started walking up to her looking angry?
		She'd step back and she'd be like, is there a problem?
		And the guy reaches his fist and she'd pull out a gun.
		But here's the reality.
		No guy is going to walk around West Virginia looking for when to hit because he will just get shot by one of like, I don't know, hundreds of people.
		Because the guys out here ain't gonna stand for that neither.
		You go to one of these West Virginia towns, and you strike a woman, you're gonna have a bunch of dudes beating the crap out of you.
		And when the police show up, ain't gonna be like in a big city.
		Sheriff's gonna show up and say, what happened?
		And the guys are all gonna be like, that guy hit that lady!
		And the lady's gonna be like, he hit me, and they're gonna be like, okay, and they're gonna arrest the bad guy.
		You go to New York City, you can't have open, you can't defend yourself, the woman gets hit and the guy goes, look man, if I try to stop that guy, they're gonna Daniel Penny me!
		They're gonna put me in jail!
		I ain't going anywhere near that!
		You voted for it!
		Hey, the guys voted for it too.
		Not every woman voted for it, but you live here now.
		That's the thing.
		They're like, where are all the good guys to protect these women?
		You arrest them!
		The male rage?
		No!
		Daniel Penney tried to save people on a train from a guy threatening to kill him, and now he's going to go to jail.
		Or at least they're trying to put him in jail.
		Hopefully he doesn't.
		So what guy in New York City is going to intervene to stop these men who are going to be punching women in the face?
		Tell you nobody!
		Because they don't want to go to jail.
		And I don't blame him, I get it.
		Man, in Philly, the crazy story a few years ago, where a woman got raped on a train.
		A dude actually raped a woman on a train while everybody watched, and they filmed it.
		Why?
		I'm not going to jail.
		The state says they will lock you up.
		Come to West Virginia.
		Or Florida.
		I don't know about Texas so much, but Texas is better.
		She goes on to say, whatever the scale of this problem eventually turns out to be, it's not surprising these stories have gone viral and captured the imagination, blah blah blah.
		Whatever the excuse the angry man concocts, the impetus is always the same.
		The eyes of women are directed at someone or something that is not him, and he is indignant over it.
		Dude.
		The overall majority of guys ain't going anywhere near you, lady.
		It's just the crackpots.
		Now, good guys would like to protect you from the crackpots.
		It feels good to protect other people, but you don't want us to.
	You threaten to arrest people like Daniel Penny.
	And now you're gonna cry, oh poor baby, because you're reaping the consequences of your actions.
	It is not.
	Just that they vote for it.
	It is that they arrest Daniel Penney.
	And for the people who say, well I didn't do that and I have to live here, did I see you organize a protest to support Daniel Penney?
	Are you going out and marching in the streets?
	You live in this place, this world is all around you.
	I don't blame everyone who's trapped there.
	I get that.
	Not everybody likes what's going on.
	But it doesn't matter.
	Overwhelmingly, they will arrest, they will lie, they will cheat, they will steal, and they will allow these criminals to persist.
	Stop supporting it.
unidentified		I don't know what to tell you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		She says, these stories resonate as well because the nation is having a moment of increasingly unhinged male fury at women for daring to have lives that are centered around something other than catering to a man's every whim.
		Dude, lady, I don't care what you do.
		I left.
		I don't care about New York.
		That's why I think it's funny.
		I don't care that you vote for this stuff.
		I don't care.
		I don't care for your time.
		I don't care for your eyes.
		I don't care what you think.
		I don't care for your attention.
		I don't care for your viewership.
		I don't care.
		I left.
		I would much rather have some chubby middle-aged West Virginia woman with two guns at her hips watching me being like, Anybody try to hit me, I'll shoot them.
		I'd be like, wow, great.
		You can watch my show.
		I think we get along.
		But for you, lady in New York, we got nothing in common.
		You live your life.
		You have fun.
		You do you.
		But guess what?
		When you vote for this stuff and then cry about it, I will laugh at you.
		And then they're like, how dare you laugh at these women, Tim?
		Dude, what?
		Get out of here.
		They arrested Daniel Penny.
		Of course I'm gonna laugh.
		I'm not saying women did.
		I'm saying they vote for a system.
		They appoint these individuals.
		Not interested.
		Unleashed by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
		There's an upswell of loud male entitlement shouting at us from every corner.
		No, lady.
		There was an exodus from New York.
		People went to Florida and Texas and they voted for what they liked.
		They said, I don't want to live in this place.
		You vote this way.
		That's fine.
		I'm out.
		You see, the reality is they want to blame Trump, but we all left.
		I'm not even the biggest Trump supporter.
		I like the guy.
		I'll vote for him.
		The foreign policy I thought was pretty good.
		Domestic policy seems to be the right path.
		Unfortunately for you guys, he's the best president of our generation.
		I can't speak for all presidents, I've only been alive for 38 years.
		Look at this.
		We see it in the male fans of Jordan Peterson, who clamor to his events to hear him croak out a just-so story about how lobsters justify their faith in male dominance.
		Quite literally not true!
		Not the argument.
		The argument of the lobsters is that hierarchy exists in many different species, not just in humans.
		Or the rise of tradwives online who make a living pretending they're unemployed or housebound.
		These are women, not men!
		It's amazing.
		Or Ben Shapiro setting fire to a Barbie doll.
		That I have no idea.
		Because you can't stand that a blockbuster comedy starring a woman is about anything other than a quest for male affection.
		This is so ridiculous.
		Or MAGA pundits- Ooh!
unidentified		Ooh!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Did I make this one?
		Telling lies about birth control in hopes of tricking women and having babies before they're ready.
		Oh, come on.
		Please tell me that I still made the cut on this one.
		No, I don't think I did.
		I think this was before I responded to it.
		You see, you know, I'm over here insulting these women for being stupid.
		And, you know, where's the hit piece on me?
		What am I doing wrong?
		Charlie Kirk getting all the attention.
		No, I'm kidding.
		Charlie Kirk put out the statement, and then it was articles like that I responded to.
		Or conservatives writing op-eds that blame women for male loneliness, telling women they must self-sacrifice to relieve male pain by marrying Donald Trump voters, or right-wing men yelling because Taylor Swift has cats.
		That's weird.
		Or because she dates a hunky, vaccinated NFL player instead of, I don't know, having babies with a guy in ill-fitting cargo shorts.
		It's so weird how it's like there's a handful of people who politically disagree with you, therefore that explains why guys are punching you in the face in your city.
		Laughable.
		Okay, he says, but there's one big difference between the male tantrum we're experiencing now and the backlash of old.
		This time, women aren't really playing along.
		A few, maybe, especially if they can get a piece of the sweet trad wife income.
		But in the past, backlash has tended to draw large numbers of women along, or at least convince them to silence their opinions.
		Lest they be labeled a man-hater.
		Now there just seems to be much less interest among women in placating men by silencing ourselves or compromising on basic rights.
		All the male bellyaching about Barbie and Taylor Swift did nothing to dent ticket sales, Roe v. Wade was overturned and instead of scaling back our claims on our own bodies, women revolted, blah blah blah.
		Lady, I literally don't care what you do with your life.
		I'm gonna sit back in my lounge chair, it's a massage chair by the way, I got on Amazon, and it massages my calves and my back, and I'm going to stare at my phone as you whinge about your own policies that you enact, and now you're getting punched in the face, and I'm gonna go, ha ha, and da da da, a hearty chortle, as you reap the benefits of your own ideology.
		I don't care.
		That's just it, I don't live there.
		This is why I can't stand that people are mad at me.
		Because I said, look, I think it's funny women in NYC are getting punched in the face.
		Sorry, that was a reality.
		Ashley St.
		Clair says, some of us didn't vote for this and we have no choice but to live in NYC.
		Well, look, Ashley's great.
		I'm a fan of Ashley.
		And that's unfortunate that you live surrounded by these people.
		I don't know what to tell you.
		You have no choice but to live in NYC.
		I don't believe you're forced to live in New York City.
		There's very, very rare occasions where you have to live in the city.
		And there's certainly other places you could be.
		You could be in Long Island or Queens or something.
		It's better.
		Not the best.
		And, uh, well, let's see how people responded to me reposting this.
		Raymond G. Stine says you made the big league. Big leagues.
		Based.
		Chris Brunette, this isn't something to be proud of, this is something to be ashamed of.
		Chris Brunette, sorry.
		Never gonna happen, washed up economist Chris Brunette.
		As I've laid out in this video over the past 20 minutes, you don't get to make articles blaming men, blaming MAGA,
		crying about your own policies, and then saying, we will not shut up. I don't care if you
		talk or don't talk.
		I don't live there anymore, and y'all get to have exactly what you wanted.
		This is my point.
		Y'all can't come to me and say, Tim, how dare you say this about women?
		Because this is the commentary you get in New York City.
		Next thing they're gonna say is, you can't blame all of us for the words of one lady, Amanda Marcotte.
		This is the corporate press of New York City.
		I worked in it, in more than one company.
		I know exactly what they're doing, what they're talking about, how they respond to this.
		I get it.
		Not all women.
		Of course.
	But when you look at the demographics, 70% voting Democrat?
	Oh, come on!
	Okay?
	I'm not here to blame literally everybody for everything.
	It's generalities.
	But the overwhelming majority of people are getting exactly what they want, and they will not be told to shut up!
	Well then don't shut up lady, I don't care!
	But you're gonna get punched in the face.
	I ain't gonna be there to protect you, and Daniel Penny certainly will not either.
	And the more you do these policies, the more crackpot psychopath dudes are going to attack you.
	And the good guys will bow the F out.
	So be it.
	It's what you ask for.
unidentified		So.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		When I post what I post, and I have no problem posting these things, nor will I apologize ever for having these opinions, everybody can scream in my face, I don't care.

		I'm gonna say, lady, you're nuts, okay?
		You can scream into the wind all day and night, but all you're doing is telling good guys not to intervene.
		And for, like, Ashley St.
		Clair, and people I know in New York who I'm friends with, Who are dealing with this stuff?
		The reality is, so long as this is the voice of New York City, it doesn't matter if it's a strong conservative MAGA man or an effeminate liberal, none of them will step up to defend you if the policies of New York are to arrest them for intervening.
		So, this is the reality of New York.
		Women overwhelmingly voted for it.
		Many of the men who are trying to white knight for these ladies voted for it too.
		I don't know what else you can expect.

		According to ex-FDA food chief, avoid steakhouses, salad dressing, and even some favorite desserts.
		Next, they're going to say avoid travel.
		Don't drive your car.
		Gasoline, in fact, can carry bird flu, I bet.
		Here's the fear.
		Going into the November election, they will have some kind of play for lockdown and control.
		They will need to maximize mail-in ballots and things like this.
		And so of course, there's been concern about a bird flu pandemic lockdown.
		I don't know.
		Maybe this is just general sensationalist garbage from the Daily Mail.
		Fine.
		But if this narrative persists, and they succeed in drumming up fear over a bird flu outbreak, which I think is absurd because there isn't really one.
		I think one person was found to have bird flu.
		But here it goes.
		The narrative is being seeded.
		This is what needs to happen if they are going to drum up this fear.
		It can't just start overnight.
		The same thing happened with COVID.
		You had stories popping up here and there about something in China.
		YouTube actually demonetized it, and then eventually it made its way here, and it ramped up very rapidly.
		Within two or three months, we had the lockdowns.
		Be vigilant, my friends, but here's the story.
		Daily Mail says, Sorry, foodies.
		Experts are recommending Americans eat their steak well done to lower the risk of catching birth flu.
		You got a typo in there, buddies!
		And eggs must be thoroughly cooked, which means no sunny-side up, over-easy, or poached eggs.
		What?
		Are you kidding me?
		Okay, fine.
		Scrambled eggs, based.
		Okay, but sunny-side up.
		That's the way to go.
		I suppose over easy is fine.
		Basically, you know what this is, right?
		Some people might not know this.
		Sunnyside up, you crack the egg, you fry it at a low heat, so it cooks through from the bottom up.
		But the top might be a little bit runny.
		Over easy, you flip it over, give a little sizzle, and you get that nice, wet yolk.
		Pops right into the sandwich, like a sauce.
	Even salad dressings like Caesar can be a risk due to being made with raw eggs.
	These are recommendations of former FDA advisor Dr. Darren Detweiler, who said that while the risk of getting bird flu or H5N1 from food is low, eating animal products that are not properly cooked could increase the likelihood.
	Dude, you get sick from eating raw foods.
	Every menu has this.
	The virus has caused outbreaks on over a dozen farms across the U.S., infecting cattle and chickens and raising fears over the safety of the U.S.
	food supply.
	Last week, health officials in Texas confirmed that a dairy farmer caught the virus, making him only the second-ever American to contract the disease.
	Dr. Detweiler told Daily Mail, Transmission of bird flu to humans through the consumption of properly cooked poultry products, including eggs, is very low.
	The risk arises with improperly cooked eggs or poultry meat.
	But here he noted that eggs, poultry, and beef have to be cooked to a safe internal temperature because cooking is the kill step.
	Bird flu often spreads from water birds like ducks and geese to livestock like chickens, cows, and pigs.
	This can lead to animal meat and products like eggs and milk becoming infected.
	Now, there's a picture of what appears to be a nice steak.
	It's a little pink in the middle.
	Fine.
	What does it say?
	Dr. Delwise says viruses and bird flu can travel to the inner parts of meat like steak, making it crucial to cook it all the way through, which is also known as ruining the steak, might I add, rather than eating it rare.
	I've had the flu before.
	Miserable.
	I was, uh, the last time I had the flu I was 18.
	I literally thought I was dying.
	It was merciless.
	I lost like 10 pounds in a few days.
	I was shivering.
	I was pale.
	I was, like, I asked my mom, I was like, should I go to the hospital?
	She's like, you have the flu, calm down.
	Stay, like, drink fluids and drink Gatorade.
	And, uh, I got over it.
	But it was miserable.
	H5N1, bird flu, has a fi- I think what's 56% of people who have gotten it have died.
	Now I think if there were to be a big outbreak, the death rate would not be that high.
	What we're looking at with the rarity of this disease is, we're not really prepared for treatment, so people who get it, have a higher rate of death.
	I think if there was a pandemic, it would be lower, but still very, very high.
	But I gotta be honest, come on guys.
	If this actually started to spread among humans, and if there was even a 10% mortality rate on average, yo, you'd think the COVID lockdowns were bad.
	You're gonna get Everyone and their grandmother advocating for lockdowns.
	That's it.
	Nobody will even go outside.
	In fact, if you get H5N1 and they're like, okay, we got a bird flu pandemic, the death rate's 50%, go ahead and go outside, I dare you.
	People are gonna be like, nah.
	It's gonna be weird if this actually happens.
	Now the question is, will it actually happen?
	Or are they just going to push the fears and claim it's spreading when it's not?
	If you're cooking a steak or ordering at a restaurant, don't order it rare or medium.
	Medium?
	What?
	I refuse!
	I- I don't know.
	I can't- I can't do it.
	I had a delicious flank steak from Barcelona in Reston, Virginia.
	Now, fortunately, it's marinated and it is cooked through, so I didn't have anything to worry about there, and it was one of the most delicious steaks I've ever had.
	Man.
	Shoutout to Barcelona.
	It's a restaurant in Reston, Virginia, which I think is Loudoun County, but it's like some of the best food you'll ever have.
	Uh, we go there way too much.
	We don't go there that often, but we go there quite a bit.
	Uh, but when I go to our other favorite restaurant out here, which is Dutch's Daughter.
	I love shouting these restaurants out because I love them.
	They're awesome.
	And, uh, Dutch's Daughter, I always get the filet mignon.
	And it's gotta be medium rare.
	It's gotta- I like to say chef's choice.
	But then you get- it's so tender, it melts in your mouth.
	That's a good steak.
	Some people prefer the ribeye.
	Uh, but you know, I like a filet.
	I like a good filet.
	That's me.
	Quote, I would 100% recommend that it is cooked throughout to a minimum safe cooking temperature for a piece of solid beef.
	That's called ruining it.
	I'll tell you what my compromise will be.
	I will take tenderloin strips, okay?
	And those can be cooked through.
	Fine.
	Dutch's daughter, they have a tenderloin sandwich.
	So it is cooked through because it's thin strips of tenderloin and you're not really getting that raw or anything.
	That's my compromise!
	But, uh, in reality, I assure you, I will continue to order my steaks medium-rare.
	We went to a restaurant, like, a couple weeks ago, and I said, I suppose I should do it medium-rare, but if it's more rare, that's okay.
	Let's just go rare.
	And the waitress was like, that's my man.
	And I'm like, yeah!
unidentified		Rare!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I don't need to cook my meat.
		Just give it to me raw.
		And then we went to one place.
		I just order a tartare.
		I don't want it cooked.
		I want to eat raw beef.
		Bird flu.
		We have farms out here, so everything's, like, clean and safer.
		Typically better.
		According to the USDA, safe internal temperature of steak is at least 145 degrees, whereas rare steak is 120 to 125.
		Medium rare is roughly 130 to 135.
		Additionally, infected cows could transmit bird flu through their milk if it is not pasteurized.
		This is when milk is seeded to a specific... We know what pasteurized means.
		Calm down.
		Despite the FDA long-listing unpasteurized dairy as unsafe, drinking raw milk has become increasingly popular on TikTok and in fitness circles over unfound claims that it has more vitamins and minerals.
		No!
		The claim is that by pasteurizing it, you're killing off beneficial bacteria and damaging enzymes and things like that.
		I'm not a big raw milk guy.
		We actually have the opposite of raw milk.
		We have the Fair Life milk, which is like processed, ultra-filtered milk with high protein.
		I like it because there are many protein shakes that are not very high in carb and fat.
		So you're getting a little bit of fat, a little bit of carbs, and a lot of protein.
		So we like drinking that stuff.
		Raw milk definitely carries a higher risk of exposure to not only avian flu, but pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, etc.
		I also want to tell you, like, you know, we eat oysters raw, and they're always warning you about eating raw oysters.
		Like, dude, everybody eats raw oysters, and they, like, never get sick.
		I'm not gonna tell you what to eat or anything, but this sounds to me much more like, Oh no!
		There is bird flu!
		Quick!
		Don't enjoy steak anymore!
		Because they don't want you eating steak.
		Because they want you living in the pod and eating the bugs.
		Well, me?
		I like steak.
		Moves like this will hurt beef sales and things like this.
		Even certain kinds of Caesar dressing, which is primarily made from anchovy paste, can contain egg yolks that might not be labeled clearly on a dressing bottle or restaurant menu.
		Yeah, come on.
		In reality, most Caesar dressing is basically just like soybean oil and parmesan cheese.
unidentified		Alright?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A little garlic in there.
		If you actually get anchovy paste, you got the good stuff.
		Additionally, no baked desserts, like edible cookie dough, are also risky.
		Uh, a risky source of uncooked eggs?
		You're not going to kill the virus with those.
		They're basically saying, stop enjoying things, don't eat food the way you want to eat it, live in a pod and eat the bugs.
		The bugs don't have bird flu, they'll say next.
		Look at this.
		Scrambled is good.
		Hard-boiled is good.
		Poached, soft-boiled, over-easy, or sunny-side up?
		Not acceptable.
		Soft-boiled egg.
		I've actually never had a soft-boiled egg.
		It's not my thing.
		Additionally, Dr. Detweiler advises being mindful of where you're getting your food.
		If there is H5N1 in birds, and that bird makes it to the point where it's still alive, and there are eggs that come with this, the birds need to be properly dealt with.
unidentified		Mmm.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This involved depopulation, culling, or purposely killing infected chickens to keep the virus from spreading.
		Alright.
		Look.
		I hope it doesn't come to this.
		My bigger concern is the narrative.
		Look at this.
		One commenter said, Poultry, milk, meat, eggs, the prices are gonna skyrocket.
		Yeah.
		I don't know where this goes.
		I just saw this and I'm like, we know they've been pushing the bird flu narrative.
		If they ramp this up, people are gonna panic and you're gonna get some kind of lockdown.
		Look at people like Taylor Lorenz wearing masks to this day.
		And then they're gonna say, see?
		We'll see.
		Next segment's coming up at 8 p.m.
