You don't want to miss it.
Now let's get into the news.
If you push anti-white and racist policies at universities, If you encourage businesses to adopt racial quotas.
If you, at your school, say that Asian people and white people have to score higher on tests than other racial minorities, otherwise they can't get in.
Well, nobody cares.
I mean, the right will complain about it.
If you riot in the streets with Molotov cocktails, smash windows.
If you riot during the presidential inauguration in 2017.
Nobody cares.
And to be fair, the riots in DC, they didn't get arrested.
The far left just got arrested.
But if you have a summer of love in 2020, and for 90 days you are launching explosives at federal buildings, nobody cares.
But, my friends, if you protest Israel, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas will send in the troops to arrest you for, as he said it, anti-Semitism.
The Speaker of the House will descend upon your university at Columbia and demand the President send in the National Guard.
He will then threaten to strip federal funding from your university.
How dare you!
How dare you allow people to protest Israel!
I'm going to tell you why I find this so funny.
First, yeah, I think Israel is a country.
I think they have a right to defend themselves.
I think there's a war going on for which I'm not going to get into the moral conflict with you guys about.
I just don't think the U.S.
should be involved in these Middle Eastern conflicts.
It's tough.
It certainly is because we are involved and I don't have good answers for you.
I don't have good answers for you.
I mean, whether we want to be or not, we will be dragged into this conflict right now.
So the one thing I will say as it pertains to Israel, funding, war, Ukraine, all that stuff is, by all means we can stand on our principles and believe that we should secure our borders, we should be fighting for jobs in this country, improving our infrastructure, dare I say, nation building in our own nation.
That's all true.
And I can respect those who understand why it's important to defend our country and why it's important that, you know, if people are going to be taxed, we use our tax dollars for this country.
I just want to recognize.
Yeah, we're wrapped up in this.
You know what I mean?
So take that for what it is.
If Iran and Israel go at it, the U.S.
is already involved.
They're sending more money to Ukraine.
We're in that right now.
So while I think it's good to call all that out, I also think we should recognize they already did it.
And I don't know what that means other than I hope you are all prepared for the aftermath of igniting this conflict.
You know, many people have said this TikTok ban bill, Ukraine-Taiwan-Israel funding bill is as close to World War III as we've gotten so far.
This bill basically outlining this stuff.
But it is what it is.
The reason I say this is because You know, I kind of feel like I'm sitting here being like, why are we even funding these things?
We shouldn't be, and it's meaningless.
It really is, because they already did a long time ago, for a long time.
They've already, by they I mean the U.S.
government, politicians, the corporations, the establishment.
We're in the conflict, whether we want to be or not.
Should Iran and Israel go to war?
It's going to get pretty wild here, because I don't know how long support for Israel in this country can maintain itself.
Now, you know, I want to point something out.
Boy, we've seen a lot of censorship recently, and now we've got Johnson going to Colombia demanding the National Guard come in to clean these protests out.
And then we've got the signing of the TikTok bill, which would see TikTok forced to divest or be banned.
Isn't it patently obvious what's going on?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my hypothesis as to what is happening in this world currently.
Several years ago, Donald Trump wanted TikTok banned.
The reason was because it was promoting woke garbage.
Well, the deep state didn't care because the deep state liked woke garbage.
We have complained endlessly about DEI universities wondering why we are not pulling their funding.
They're in violation of the law.
I'm not even kidding.
The Civil Rights Act.
You can't have racial quotas.
unidentified
Lawsuits, lawsuits, fights, fights, fights.
tim pool
And then one day something happened.
October 7th was a horrific day when Hamas launched a terroristic, depraved assault on Israel.
And it's horrible, it's horrible.
Israel has a right to defend itself, 100%.
Now there's a war going on.
And people are acting like... Look, I want to be honest.
There's some moral grandstanding.
Oh no, Israel is bad for doing this.
And I think it's fair to criticize any government, any time.
And I think we should criticize every government's military actions.
But I'm just gonna stress, it's war.
There is no such thing as fair war.
Okay?
There's no world where it's like a war starts, and then it's like, but why are you trying to win?
You're going too far.
Doesn't matter.
Israel does not care what you think about their tactics.
They don't care about your protests.
But here's where it gets funny.
So TikTok, which was promoting this far-left woke garbage endlessly, all of a sudden started promoting anti-Israel content, which, hey, is aligned with wokeness on the left.
And it's at that moment Democrats got on board with banning TikTok.
This is not in dispute.
This is public knowledge.
It's been written about in big corporate press news organizations that donors started calling Democrat politicians saying, why are we allowing this?
Democrats then said, we got to stop.
I just want to point out the sheer absurdity of Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, going to Columbia, demanding the National Guard push out an Occupy protest?
The National Guard?
And threatening to strip funding from a university?
Wow.
Greg Abbott himself tweeted, We will not allow anti-semitic protests.
And it's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
Bro, you're barking up the wrong tree on this one.
If you want to argue that these people are illegally seizing common space that is shared by the public, fine.
But to say you're arresting them for hate speech?
Alright, here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Many of these people on the right, Mike Johnson, Greg Abbott, or whatever, they'd love to play the free speech game when we're all demanding free speech, but then when it's anti-Israel, they're gonna send in the troops?
Or Mike Johnson wants to?
We wanted federal funding pulled from these universities for their woke garbage, and you wouldn't do anything, but now that it's Israel?
I get it.
And I'll lay it out for you.
TikTok.
That's right.
Here's my hypothesis.
China launches TikTok.
It's not necessarily China, but they do have a board seat and there is influence in it.
But it's outside the influence of the U.S.
deep state and the government and such.
We know that the executives over at Twitter were having regular communication with the federal government and they were back doors in these apps.
Yeah, the intelligence agencies were dictating narrative.
We know about all the former operatives who came out and said that the Hunter Biden laptop was fake.
It's all controlled.
And it's all fine and dandy until anti-Israel sentiment emerges, subverting the woke left and stripping them away.
And now, now I'm kind of laughing about it.
There are a lot of people who are deeply anti-Semitic who hate Israel.
That's true.
And there are a lot of people who are not anti-Semitic at all, who are very critical of or actually hate Israel.
That's true too.
But to conflate the two, I don't know.
I don't.
I don't.
Everyone does.
Whenever it suits them, they can play to do.
And here's what I think.
I don't know that this is true, but it certainly feels like China played along with TikTok to gain a foothold in this country and then flicked a switch and pushed the anti-Israel stuff to all of these susceptible woke leftists, creating a new mass line, I think they call it.
Here's your new cause.
Uh-oh.
The Deep State said, this is not what's supposed to happen.
Anti-Israel is not supposed to be a component of this.
And now we have to ban TikTok.
Because they don't control it.
It seems like the operation with the woke left and the DEI stuff has been completely subverted by foreign interests.
It's probably not just China, it's probably BRICS.
And now, maybe not so much BRICS anymore, because we see what's going on with Brazil.
But now, the sentiment among the left is purely anti-Israel.
And it's kind of wild.
You'd think after the Hamas attacks that the sentiment would have been pro-Israel.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
TikTok touts 175 million American users.
The deep state can't control it.
So now, they have tried to wield the One Ring, and they can't.
Maybe that's it.
So I don't know how I feel about TikTok anymore.
You know, I still think it's bad that China has this influence over our young people.
But it's actually quite hilarious that the woke DEI stuff has now become overwhelmingly this new Occupy movement that is critical of Israel.
And the Deep State is in sheer panic.
Let me show you the extent of their panic.
Johnson demands Biden send in National Guard during raucous Columbia visit.
The Speaker faced an unruly crowd shouting, Mike, you suck, and chants of free Palestine.
unidentified

So we Johnson flanked by GOP lawmakers from New York and elsewhere repeated his calls
for the universities and battled president to step down.
But protesters shouted, Who are you people?
Mike, you suck!
And chanted, Free Palestine, making it almost impossible for the gaggle of reporters and others to hear the speaker.
This is dangerous.
This is not the First Amendment.
This is not free speech, Johnson said.
Wrong it is.
And now you reap what you have sown, you scumbags.
Hey, I warned about this six years ago and I wasn't the only one.
That the woke left.
The cult mentality.
It's the one ring from Lord of the Rings.
unidentified
You think it is a gift to defeat your enemies, but you can't wield it.
tim pool
No one can.
Remember that line?
They thought they could use woke cultism to their advantage, and all it took was TikTok to switch the anti-establishment message on, and now you have it.
Now the military-industrial complex is freaking out because they use Israel.
Now, I love this.
The very, very anti-Israel and anti-Zionist people, they think that Israel controls the world.
And I mean that figuratively.
They think Israel controls the U.S.
and manipulates and all that stuff.
And I'm just like, guys, it's the other way around.
It's the weirdest thing to me that the U.S., this massive hegemonic power, following World War II, all of a sudden just lost everything because of a nation of a few million people.
Dude, the Balfour Declaration, U.S.
support, it is our operation.
But whatever.
Believe whatever you want to believe.
I don't care.
It's U.S.
military-industrial-complex foreign policy, whether it's at the direction of Israel or otherwise.
And now that the narrative is being threatened, they want the National Guard deployed?
For what?
Seriously.
Now look, I've criticized these far leftists, because at Yale, there was a Jewish guy trying to walk through and they blocked him, because I think this was Columbia, it might have been Yale too, I'm not sure.
Someone was wearing a Star of David, and so they all linked arms and started chanting, it's a cult, they are creepy people.
But now, I'm like, I don't know, maybe it is funny that TikTok has heavily influenced young people in this way and shattered the deep state control over the system.
Because the deep state is scumbags.
You see, they announced more indictments in Arizona against Trump's lawyers.
I think Jenna Alice is getting indicted and I'm like, oh wow, you're screwed!
No one's going to give her a penny again, are they?
But anyway, I digress.
Here we go.
Mike Johnson threatens to withhold federal funds from Colombia over Gaza camp while protesters scream free Palestine.
unidentified
What?
tim pool
Really?
Yo, dude.
I ain't having none of this.
I ain't having none of this.
Let me tell you.
I'm not interested in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
I think it's silly to blame Israel for all of everything that's going on.
I think it's silly to make an argument about, you know, there are people who believe there literally is no Israel and all that stuff, and like, dude, war is always this.
Okay?
Everyone's on stolen land all the time.
What are we doing engaging in a war 80 years on or whatever?
Shouldn't we be just working out resolutions?
You know, Some people just want to fight forever.
They want to fight forever, they'll never give up.
I think that's, I think at some point you have to recognize there's better ways to move forward than this fight, right?
But what am I, all I can really say is as an American citizen, I would like our borders to be secured.
Now let me point this out, because a lot of people on the right, a lot of Trump supporters are pointing this out.
Mike Johnson flies to Colombia because of Camps?
Because of an Occupy protest?
For real?
And he doesn't go down to the southern border?
And he's not threatening to pull funding from CBP?
This is absolutely insane.
And you have laid your cards on the table.
But we get it.
We get it.
U.S.
foreign policy, U.S.
intervention has always been the most important thing.
And this is the funny thing.
To all the people Who think the world revolves around Israel.
Donald Trump, when he becomes president, he has a private meeting with the deep state, with the intelligence agencies, as they do.
The example is Mike Johnson versus Donald Trump.
And here's what you get.
Jack Posobiec pointed this out.
They bring Trump into the SCIF, and they say, Trump, here's the documents, here's the papers, and here's how we have to do it, here's how we're responding.
And Trump goes, uh-huh, no.
And they go, what do you mean, no?
And he goes, I'm the president, and I say we're not going to be doing this.
Change of plans.
And they went, no, no, no, no, no, we have an operation going on in these regions, and we are trying to do this, and Trump says, I don't care.
We're going to secure our borders, we're going to bolster our trade, and we're going to bring peace through negotiations in these regions.
And the Deep State said, mark my words, we will destroy you.
And they have not stopped.
Mike Johnson goes into the skiff and they said, here's what we're doing and here's how it's going to be done.
Johnson walks out and goes, I used to look at the excesses of the FBI and the FISA warrants and realize the illegal spying was bad.
But after they brought me into a dark room, locked the door, I walked out realizing they were my best friends and I'm going to do everything they say.
There you go.
I think it was Tucker on Rogan.
He said that members of Congress are terrified that the deep state will just plant, like, let's just call it illegal images of children on their computers.
Yeah.
What did Chuck Schumer say?
They have six ways from Sunday of screwing you over?
It's fascinating.
Donald Trump defies the deep state and now they're working in every possible way to destroy him.
But now they're in trouble because the young voter base for the Democrats, if they even vote Democrat at this point, don't want Israel to get any support.
So what do you do?
We are now facing what I refer to as, and thanks to the fallout IP, the Enclave.
For those that aren't familiar, in the video game Fallout, and the new Fallout series, which I recommend you watch, it's amazing.
The show came out and now the video game is exploding in popularity once again.
Best game ever, in my opinion, Fallout 3.
The story is a nuclear war happens.
Depending on what game you're playing, it could be 26 years or 200 years after the war.
The Enclave is the remnants of the U.S.
government.
After nuclear war annihilates everything, powerful corporate leaders, politicians, and their families call themselves the Enclave, and they are the remnants of government, so they claim the continuity of government, and they believe, you know, they're in charge of everything, despite the fact that in the game, they want to kill everybody.
The Enclave, in the game, says they're in charge, has weapons and power, and they go around, they fly around, they have, uh, you know, weapons and all that stuff.
But they treat everyone in what they call the Wasteland as someone to be purged and killed and all that stuff.
I think this is where we're at.
The Deep State, I like to call it the Enclave, it sounds more fun, they were very much on the side of Democrats when Trump got in, because it used to be unified.
The unit party, Democrats and Republicans, were marching in lockstep with each other, just pretending to oppose each other so there would be elections that people thought mattered.
Then Trump came around, and Trump won, and they said, okay, Trump, we're going to play ball, and Trump said, I'm the president, and you're going to do what I say, and they went, no.
What happened?
Deep state supporting neocons immediately jump ship and join the Democratic Party.
All of a sudden you've got the Lincoln Project, you've got all of this, like every corporate channel is now, Trump is colluding, blah blah blah.
In New York right now, Donald Trump, and I'm pissed about this, did not go to the Supreme Court.
But in New York, they're having a criminal trial for a misdemeanor beyond a statute of limitations that they're claiming Trump stole the 2016 election with election interference.
It's an absurdity.
An absurdity.
Yet here we are.
But now here's what I see with the Democratic Party and young people.
Young people have broken away.
Mass protests across the country at all these different universities.
And the actions of the police is making it worse.
Mike Johnson saying this is making it worse.
And it's going to muster up massive protests that just say they hate Israel.
When these people march around saying Black Lives Matter and have no idea what they're talking about, Mike Johnson, you know, nobody does anything.
Not even Trump.
But now that it's focused on Israel, oh boy.
Here's what I see.
The deep state is now untethered.
The Democrats are not their party.
The Republicans are not their party.
What does that mean?
We are going to be entering an era where we have politicians that appear to be elected but for some reason represent nothing.
That the American people want.
And to be fair, we're mostly there.
We've been there for some time.
There's a study that gets cited quite a bit.
I think it was actually Citigroup.
No, no, Citigroup had a document saying we were in a plutonomy.
A plutocratic economic governance system.
Rich people control everything.
But there are studies showing that public opinion has no impact whatsoever on public policy.
The opinions of the wealthy elites actually does influence public policy.
The Deep State no longer has a Democratic Party.
Sure, they have elements of the Republican Uniparty like Mike Johnson, and they have some Democrats, but there are massive wings of the left and the right who are in opposition to the corruption of the Uniparty.
And they're losing control.
But you know what?
I gotta tell you.
These people are evil, crackpot, deranged narcissists who think the world should be run by them.
I am not interested.
You know, I was thinking about it.
Of course these people, Mike Johnson, they think they're doing good for this country, but what does that really mean?
They want to expand the NATO bloc?
They want to create one world government?
Who knows?
I mean, if you look at how they're growing NATO, it's like the EU, so what?
The United States is in that too, so you've got transcontinental governance, and they're working towards world governance.
They want to claim that they're the good guys and they're doing all these things, but you know what?
Doesn't even matter.
We are a country of, for, and by the people.
That means if one day the people of this country wake up and say, you know, we've decided we don't want to do that anymore.
You obey.
You do.
The idea that this country elected Donald Trump and that the deep state decided to burn this country to the ground because it's not what they wanted proves they are the malignant evil.
But of course they think that the heroes have their own story.
They think, oh no, Donald Trump is going to dismantle all our plans and we're going to lose foreign policy.
China is going to take this region, that region, this region.
They're going to grow and they're going to expand.
And I'm like, yep.
Yeah, they will.
Because that's what it means to have a free and open society.
It means you're free to make whatever decision you may want.
Even if it ultimately is bad for some people or whatever.
You know, there are a lot of people in this world that want to be snowplow parents.
It used to be helicopter parenting.
That's when they hovered over the kid and made sure the kid was safe.
Now you have snowplow, where they actively remove the barriers in front of the children so the children don't learn.
That's been a problem for this country for some time.
Snowplow governance.
Controlling everything.
Nah.
I think it's high time the people of this country make their own decisions.
And if those decisions ultimately are detrimental to this country, so be it.
We made our choices as we are.
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 I was watching that show, Invincible.
Apparently I watch a lot of Amazon shows.
every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

It's America on Trial with Josh Hammer.
tim pool
I was watching that show Invincible.
Apparently I watch a lot of Amazon shows.
And spoiler alert, I mean the show's been out for a little while, but in the new season,
guess.
unidentified
for those that don't know about the show, it's about, uh, it's like a parody of superhero shows, I
tim pool
Not really a parody, but it's like, I gotta be honest, it's a knockoff.
But anyway, I digress.
There's a planet called Viltrum, and the people there have lived a brutal existence where they killed each other so only the strongest ever survived in ritual combat, resulting in Superman.
A whole bunch of people who can fly around and are invincible, blah blah blah.
And the main character of the show is half Viltrumite, so he's superpowered.
And one of the aliens comes to Earth, and they look human, and they were like, we're gonna take over your planet.
Look at all the suffering, look at the pollution, look at the corruption.
If we're in charge, everything will be better.
And the main character is just like, no, I won't let you do that.
I won't allow you to do it.
And I'm like, he doesn't really articulate why, but I can.
So, you have this all-powerful alien race come to Earth and say, you are going to destroy yourselves.
You are going to pollute yourselves, the corrupt are destroying everything, give dictatorial control to a different group of people, to an advanced species, or in reality's sake, the Deep State or otherwise, and we'll make it work better.
And my response is, I would rather Earth fail On its own accord than to be dictated to by someone who thinks they're smart enough to control everything.
You know, I would rather be a wolf in the wilderness fighting for my survival than a happy golden retriever wagging his tail, locked in the kitchen, eating dry kibble every single day.
I would rather be free to walk outside in the woods, knowing a bear or a mountain lion could get me at any moment, than to be wrapped up behind walls and not allowed to leave.
And that brings me to my final story on this one.
Mr. Muttonchops.
Mr. Muttonchops was a rooster.
He was born in Chicken City in 2023.
It's a sad story.
Mr. Muttonchops would jump out of Chicken City and wander around the grass, fresh green grass, every day.
And we kept an eye on him.
We would bring him back in.
He wasn't in Chicken City proper.
He was in the outside, which was still an offense.
And we knew that by him jumping out every day, he would eventually die.
But you know what?
It was his choice.
And I said, I'm not gonna, you know, we thought it was funny.
He will die, we get it.
And we'd bring him back in when we saw him and we'd open the door, and we wouldn't force him, and we'd open the door and he'd walk on in.
And then he died.
Fox got him.
Killed him.
And, uh, it's sad.
I wish he didn't die, he was a funny rooster.
But the reality is, my attitude was like, look man, you wanna come out here and you wanna run around in the grass and So be it.
That's your choice.
Now the other thing is we keep all the other chickens locked up.
They can't leave.
And they're safe for it.
And me?
I understand that.
I would rather be Mr. Muttonchops wandering around in the open fields with fresh green grass beneath my feet than locked in a cage with dirt all around me eating kibble.
And that's the question for all... And yes, I understand Mr. Muttonchops died.
That's the question for the Deep State.
They don't agree.
They think we're better off as chickens locked in a chicken coop, and they can control and exploit because we're safer that way.
Well, now you get to reap what you have sown.
TikTok has subverted your message and your narrative, and now it's exposed for everyone to see.
This is an absurdity.
Look, I get shutting down protests and arresting people, but you didn't do this in the summer of love.
But now?
Spare me.
I'm gonna leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 1 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
It goes without saying, the hour is later than you think.
Arizona grand jury indicts Meadows, Giuliani, other Trump allies for 2020 election interference.
The former president is listed as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Politico reports Jenna Ellis, Trump's lawyer, is also being charged.
And what is her crime?
Well, Jenna Ellis was charged in Georgia for representing Trump.
This is what lawyers do.
Trump retains a lawyer, says, here's what I want to do, file it for me.
The lawyer says, okay.
And for this, they criminally charged Jenna Ellis.
Now, unfortunately for Jenna Ellis, I'm not going to shed very many tears.
She came out against Trump.
She cried and apologized, saying, had I known what he was doing, I would not have represented him.
Pleaded guilty.
I think she got five years probation or something like that.
Now she's being charged in Arizona, which is absolutely fascinating because I don't know what argument you're going to have now for Arizona because they're going to say, Miss Ellis, you've already admitted to engaging in these crimes and other criminal cases.
Now of course, as it pertains to this court case, they normally would say, what you did in a separate case has no bearing on the arguments in this case.
That is, typically in criminal courts, and you know, forgive me, I'm not a lawyer, I could be wrong, but I believe this to be the case.
If someone robs a liquor store, and then, you know, a few years later robs a liquor store, the question of whether or not the secondary crime happened will not be predicated upon the first.
However, sometimes they could bring up the person's criminal history.
The idea is we're trying to prove beyond a reasonable doubt they committed this crime, and claiming they did it before could prejudice the jury as to the evidence now.
Although I think most people would say, hey, if there's evidence they did it before, That is circumstantial evidence that they would be likely to commit it again, right?
Well, we will see because this is not a normal trial.
Currently, as I'm recording this, Supreme Court oral arguments are underway.
Unfortunately, I will say I am disappointed.
I think Trump lost a tremendous opportunity and a moral duty.
He's not attending.
He's not attending.
He's in New York for his criminal trial.
I wouldn't have done it that way.
Trump should have been at Supreme Court.
Now, I'll tell you this.
First, who am I?
Some dude complaining on the internet.
I don't know what Trump's lawyers are planning.
I don't know his political campaign's strategy here.
Perhaps.
They've gone over all the details and my thoughts are irrelevant because I'm not involved and I have no idea what issues they're dealing with.
But I tell you this.
I wish.
And based on the surface level details, which again is not worth that much, what Trump should have done is shown up to the Supreme Court, to the shock of the press, because he's not in New York, he's at the Supreme Court in D.C., and he should have said, The question of whether or not a president's official duties are immune from criminal prosecution, or a president is immune from criminal prosecution as per his official duties, is a question that must be answered and an idea that must be defended.
Lest any other president face criminal prosecution from states or the federal government after they leave office.
The presidency would not exist.
It is my sworn duty as the man bringing the argument to defend his actions before the Supreme Court.
I will be here alongside my lawyers as they make this argument because this country matters more than me.
If the judge seeks to imprison me or hold me in contempt because I upheld my sworn duty to defend this nation over my own personal well-being, then so be it!
And then he could have walked in.
Imagine that.
Trump then leaves the oral arguments.
Mershawn in New York is like, your client is in contempt of court!
We're gonna lock him up!
And the lawyers for Trump would just say, as a former president who's raised the question to defend presidential immunity, he is at the Supreme Court.
Because, Your Honor, he believes this country matters more than himself.
Instead, I suppose we got the opposite message.
I do think it's fair to say, and I will stress this, I don't know his legal strategy, but I am disappointed.
Now, that being said, as I've mentioned this before, there is a strong likelihood, soon, we will have a Tim Castile episode with the former president and the man I will be voting for regardless of all this, especially considering what are you going to do, vote for Joe Biden?
Yeah, right.
There's a lot of reasons I like Donald Trump, and foreign policy is one of them.
And a lot of people who are more moderate are criticizing Donald Trump for his support of members of Congress and the Ukraine funding bill and things like this.
Yeah, don't care.
Literally don't care.
Donald Trump says he's the most pro-Israel president ever.
Don't care.
Look.
You've got an option of the destruction of this country with woke insanity and Joe Biden, the deep state, failures, everything they've screwed up, the failing economy.
There's no question.
Trump's far from perfect, far from perfect, but he's actually the best president of my lifetime.
And that's unfortunately not saying a lot, but hey, I'll take it.
I have tremendous respect for the accomplishments that Donald Trump was able to do, and I think he really does try to represent the people, and that's why they're coming after him this hard.
But how hard?
Here you go.
Arizona grand jury indicts Meadows, Giuliani, and other Trump allies for 2020 election interference.
Politico reports, an Arizona grand jury has indicted 18 allies of Donald Trump for their efforts to subvert the 2020 election, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epstein.
The indictment, which includes felony counts of conspiracy, fraud, and forgery, also describes Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Quote, Defendants and unindicted co-conspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep unindicted co-conspirator one in office against the will of Arizona's voters.
The names of seven of the defendants, including Meadows, Giuliani, and Epstein, are redacted.
The documents make clear who they are by describing their roles.
Others include attorneys John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, and Christina Bobb, as well as Trump's 2020 campaign operative Mike Roman.
Ken Chaseborough, an attorney who helped devise Trump's post-election strategy, is described as an as unindicted co-conspirator for The other three unindicted co-conspirators are State Senator Kelly Townsend, former State Rep Mark Fincham, and former Arizona GOP lawyer Jack Wilinchik.
Now, this absolutely coincides and correlates with the Supreme Court oral arguments happening right now on presidential immunity.
The liberal justices are taking the position that Donald Trump was bringing about fake electors, including, and none of these are official duties, when in fact, they are.
It's an interesting argument happening in the Supreme Court, so I won't get into it too deeply because we're still waiting for sort of the end results and the analysis of the statements from the justices and their questions.
But the reality is this, and it's actually pretty interesting.
Should a president act for his own personal gain, but engaging in official duties, he still cannot be criminally prosecuted unless he is impeached and convicted.
And I can't remember who it was, it may have been Kagan, but one of the liberal justices, oh no, no, I think it was Kataji Brown-Jackson, made a whoopsie-daisy When she said, basically, many presidents fear prosecution after impeachment.
To which Trump's lawyers are like, yes, you're correct.
Thank you.
That's the point.
Now here's the thing, with Arizona, with these other states, one of the arguments already
brought up in the Supreme Court was the false slate of electors, to which Trump lawyers
argued, we've had numerous instances where multiple electors contradicting each other
have been sent from the states.
It's never been this conspiratorial criminal action.
In fact, there was one instance where they asked, they said Donald Trump called the state
of Arizona and told, I think it said Arizona, told them to convene their legislature.
And Trump's lawyer's like, and?
That is quite literally the official duties of a president.
To tell the states, as it pertains to a federal matter, an election, to convene a legislature is an official act, of course it is!
And whether or not it was for personal gain doesn't matter because if we allow the criminal prosecution without impeachment of a president for an official act because it may have benefited them, then we allow the criminal prosecution for literally any reason ever.
And as I believe it may have been Kavanaugh said, a crafty prosecutor would literally just say, this was for personal gain and I hereby decree.
They would simply say, oh, You know, his interest in this relates to that, and so I think it was for personal gain.
It doesn't matter whether it's for personal gain or not.
Here's where things get fun.
The Jenna Ellis issue.
Jenna Ellis, let me see, we have this here.
Former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis pleads guilty in Georgia case.
Here she is crying and admitting she did it all.
I find it despicable.
I'm offended by it.
Jenna Ellis raised a lot of money and then immediately turned around and effectively threw Trump under the bus.
Quote, if I knew then what I knew now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges.
I look back on this experience with deep remorse, Ellis said, her voice breaking at times.
The development comes after back-to-back guilty pleas last week in the sprawling case from former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chaseborough, who helped devise the fake electors plot.
I love how they call it that, but you know, back in Nixon v. Kennedy, In the presidential race, Nixon, as vice president, actually decided, of his own volition, not to count the certified electors from Hawaii.
So is it a plot, or is it a function of government?
You see, Democrats will use the, and they did, all of the legal loopholes they can, and they will violate the spirit and essence of an election to win, but not the law.
When Trump supporters absolutely play by the rules, then they get accused of all of this nonsense.
Now, the funny thing I suppose is, is Jenna Ellis going to be able to raise any money?
I have to imagine the answer is no.
I think she's screwed this time.
She's been indicted again, and she will likely be indicted again, and again, and again.
Because there's numerous states involved and they're putting the pressure on and it's getting crazy.
My friends, the hour is later than you realize, okay?
This is Trump's lawyers who are challenging an election as they are legally allowed to do.
A president who is legally allowed, you're allowed to contest an election.
They've turned it all into a crime.
I want to stress, in New York right now, a misdemeanor charge well beyond the statute of limitations for a crime of election interference, they now say, but actually it took place after the election already happened.
Huh?
They've upgraded to a felony.
Huh?
It's not real.
And I think they wanted to put Trump in a decision dilemma.
Either he can stand up for this country, or he can defend himself, and he chose himself.
I'm not surprised.
It's not going to change how a lot of people vote, to be completely honest.
Like, what are you going to do?
Go, oh, Trump wouldn't go to the Supreme Court, therefore I'm going to vote for Biden.
Yeah, right.
But it's disappointing nonetheless, and I guarantee they will attack him for it.
They're going to come out and they're going to say, Donald Trump believes so much in this country and the office of the President and its immunity, but he wouldn't even attend the oral arguments.
Instead, he was scared because of the crimes he committed, he was going to go to jail.
That's what they will say.
Or in some fashion.
And then, of course, we have this from Kyle Becker.
Unredacted.
Judge Cannon unseals documents showing Biden White House coordinated with Jack Smith to take down Trump.
Judge Eileen Cannon has unredacted a number of documents showing the Biden administration coordinated with the DOJ prior to the FBI raid and during the prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
The documents reported by Julie Kelly, too, at Julie Kelly, show a number of startling developments.
Jack Smith hid the fact the National Archives had several conversations with the Biden White House about bringing charges against Donald Trump.
U.S.
Attorney General Merrick Garland lied about independence from investigations into Trump.
The Biden White House Counsel asked to be kept in the loop about criminally charging Trump.
Biden's DOJ instructed the National Archives on how to cover up their coordination.
The Department of Energy discovered Trump had an active security clearance after he was indicted, so they retroactively terminated it.
Well, that one's interesting.
So Trump actually had clearance?
Yeah, I'm sorry, the hour is later than anyone realizes, and I don't know what that means, and I have no advice, as if polls matter.
The floodgates have been opened.
The Democrats have crossed the Rubicon.
I'm sorry, the hour is later than anyone realizes, and I don't know what that means, and I have
no advice.
As if polls matter.
The floodgates have been opened.
The Democrats have crossed the Rubicon.
Trump certainly didn't.
The Democrats did.
And maybe that's Trump's strategy.
And maybe it's the right strategy.
I don't know.
Trump's strategy, of course, being to go with the flow, as it were, and let the Democrats spiral out of control and implode.
What are we seeing right now?
In New York, Donald Trump is currently at a criminal trial where he will actually argue the inverse as per the SCOTUS oral arguments and say, a judge is threatening to jail me for wanting to be there to defend the office of the presidency.
Maybe they're trying to turn the narrative into, this judge doesn't care about this country.
He would rather attack me personally with a misdemeanor charge beyond its statute of limitations, which should have never been brought in the first place.
Dismiss that, right?
The fact that we're here is insane.
All to prevent me from defending this country and running for office.
That's what he should say.
Although he should have been at the Supreme Court.
Think of the bold move it would have been if he went to New York and the judge was like, you're in contempt, Trump.
Trump could have then made another statement saying, well, that may be, but I believe this country is more important than me and my personal well-being.
And if it means I will go to jail in order to defend this nation, then so be it.
And let the American people know it was you, Judge Mershawn, who decided that this country was not important enough for a man to make those arguments.
Imagine that!
Yeah, well, no one ever said Trump was the great orator.
He is certainly very, very funny.
I gotta give him that.
He's got a viral truth post where he was like, Bill Barr!
I called him fat, lazy, lethargic, and whatever.
But then he endorsed me, so I'm going to revise that statement and remove the word lethargic.
Actually, I think I really should pull that one up.
I think I have it right here.
Okay, here you go.
Donald Trump Truthed.
unidentified
Wow!
tim pool
Former AG Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating voter fraud in our country, has just endorsed me for president despite the fact that I called him weak, slow-moving, lethargic, gutless, and lazy.
New York Post.
Based on the fact that I greatly appreciate his wholehearted endorsement, I am removing the word lethargic from my statement.
Thank you, Bill.
MAGA 2024.
Johnny Maga said, he's still got it.
Wow.
He certainly does.
Talk about zingers.
That was a good one.
unidentified
I greatly appreciate his wholehearted endorsement.
tim pool
I'm removing the word lethargic from that statement to imply he's still weak, slow-moving, gutless, and lazy.
Wow.
But here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
This is where we're at.
The president is being falsely charged.
His lawyers are being criminally charged.
His lawyers got criminally charged again.
And this is it.
When it was the criminal charges against his lawyers, it was bad enough.
And we were shocked.
It has never been done before.
Trump facing an indictment has never been done before.
And how many of these Trump supporters were like, they're not gonna indict him, it's not gonna happen.
Yet here we are.
I don't see... I don't see an off-ramp.
I don't see a path forward where this country heals.
Not without great conflict, I have no idea.
But I will stress this to you all again.
Whatever is going on, I would say the path right now is, and maybe it's not the right path, maybe it's not good.
I suppose it's trust the Trump team and their efforts.
They're not omnipotent.
They may not even be on the right path, I don't know.
But our best bet is a Donald Trump victory and a Republican victory in Congress, despite the fact that Mike Johnson is a letdown and, of course, the establishment Republicans and Democrats will burn this country to the ground.
I get all of that.
But the last thing you want is the destruction of this nation.
The Democrats have shown they're willing to cross the Rubicon.
They have indicted Trump on false charges, charges that don't actually exist in law.
They are trying to strip the executive branch of its ability to operate, which part of me is like, you know, in certain contexts could be a good thing, but the way they're doing it now is certainly not to curtail the excesses of the executive branch.
It's an attack on this nation meant to leave it in shambles.
If Donald Trump were to win in some way, However that may be.
That is the highest probability of preserving and protecting this nation.
If the country falls to violence, which is probably what the left wants, then it's over instantly.
Should the Democrats provoke Trump, the right, and others into conflict, they got what they wanted overnight.
Instead, they're struggling and fighting as hard as they can to rip this country to shreds.
And it is because of conservatives maintaining their belief in this country, they are unable to do it.
I've said this before.
The one thing I fear, or I should say that one thing I do fear, not the one thing I fear, but one thing I do fear, is that Trump supporters and conservatives start acting the way Antifa does.
Antifa and the leftists don't believe there's a government, they don't believe in this country, they don't believe in authority, they don't fear the authority.
So they fire bomb buildings and take over cities.
The only thing keeping this country together is conservatives and Trump supporters who believe this country still exists.
Thus, they abide by its laws, they fight for electoral politics, even when Democrats are playing dirty.
If the right stops believing in government and starts factionalizing, literally, like, defying laws, like, the way I've described it is, federal law enforcement showing up to a city and the guys who are there with guns are like, you have no authority here, we ignore you, things like that.
Then this country's done.
And that's not what we want.
That's a bad thing.
We want the United States to survive.
And that means winning, in whatever way winning means, in November.
I don't think it means winning an argument.
I don't think pure politics matters.
I don't think Trump is going to convince anyone of anything.
I think right now the question is, certainly there are still politics in play.
Do regular people want a garbled garbage economy or do they want things to improve?
Do they want their lives to improve?
Do they want their children to have better lives?
But it's not going to be a question of how many people can you convince, it's how many pieces of paper can you get signed.
Maybe there is a procedural method by which the Republicans can gain a victory.
Maybe Biden is so deeply unpopular, and the deep state's narrative control is so deeply shattered, they can't win.
Well, that'd be great.
Then Trump wins, you get a moderate president.
He's going to be moderately anti-war, but still funding foreign policy.
It's not going to be perfect.
You're going to get a lot of bad things with it.
You're going to get some neocons and uniparty stuff, but an improvement generally on the border situation.
Jobs will be coming back.
Things will improve markedly.
And that's what we need.
It would stabilize things.
The problem?
I don't know that even if Trump wins, this country can mend.
The left doesn't accept it.
Democrats won't accept it.
They are now criminally charging Trump over the 2016 election, and now charging Trump's lawyers over the 2020 election again.
His lawyers.
So what do you think happens November 5th?
Even if Trump wins, they're going to say, no, he didn't.
And if Trump loses, Trump supporters are going to say, yes, he did.
And then what?
I don't think anyone has any idea what the culmination of all of this will be.
I'm interested to see the deeper analysis after the Supreme Court oral arguments, because while we won't get a ruling right away, the questions they ask will ultimately determine or give us a good view into what they might be thinking.
What I can tell you is, it certainly seems already, based on the arguments, they're going to kick this back.
And they're going to say, first, you need to ask, were Trump's actions official duties?
Not, is the President immune?
So, I think Kavanaugh already criticized the lower court, saying, this should have been answered.
They should have said, what are you charging Trump with, and were these official acts or were they not?
Then there's a question of, are official acts immune?
Right now, there's two arguments.
Are official acts immune, and did Trump engage in this?
And the Supreme Court's like, pick one.
If we say they weren't even official acts, they could rule narrowly.
Donald Trump's actions were not official, bye.
They could rule broadly.
Official acts are protected, and Donald Trump's actions were or were not, I suppose we'll only see.
But I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 4 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
In what I can only describe as the stupidest thing imaginable, Joe Biden has announced a plan for his second term, and that is a massive tax hike.
In fact, one of the biggest tax hikes we've ever seen, raising capital gains to 44.6%
and introducing a 25% unrealized gains tax.
Now, to be fair, they're saying this will only affect those who make more than a million
dollars a year or $400,000 in investment income.
Sure, that is not most people.
It's a small percentage.
And, fine, we can have an argument about taxing the rich and all that stuff, and I will do that.
But the idea of coming out and saying, we're gonna tax!
We're gonna increase taxes just right away.
People get pissed off first.
You got the libertarians who are like, what taxes?
We don't care who you're taxing.
Taxing's bad.
Then you've got the regular people who don't really pay attention all that much, who are just going to be saying, no new taxes!
Joe Biden, on the other hand, says, read my lips, man!
More taxes!
Okay, well, I'm not a big capital gains guy, so, you know, I do have stocks, but I don't really... I'm not day trading or anything.
So weird thing, the tax, to be completely honest.
But let's break this down, and I'll explain to you the stupidity and sheer absurdity of this.
And you need to understand why it is actually an attack on regular working people.
Now, you may be saying, but Tim, I don't make more than a million dollars.
Let's talk about inflation, ladies and gentlemen!
Uh, let's talk about, like, the NFA.
The National Firearms Act.
So, uh, initially they said, if you want to buy a certain weapon, you need a stamp or something.
You gotta pay a $200 tax.
Well, $200 a hundred years ago was nuts!
Today it's meaningless.
So the threshold is certainly different.
In that regard, you're like, oh, I don't care.
$200?
Sure, I guess I'll pay it.
Back then it was a big deal, so it's less restrictive because of inflation.
Let's talk about taxing someone's investment income at $400,000.
Sure, that may be the 1% today, but in 5 years, it'll be the 2%.
In 10 years, it'll be the 4%.
In 20 years, it'll be the 10%.
You get the point.
in ten years it'll be the four percent in twenty years it'll be the ten percent you get the point
when we look at progressive taxes and it says like you know if you make more than twenty
thousand dollars a year we're going to tax you at this rate
Over time, that becomes... That used to be the ultra-wealthy.
It used to be like, we're only taxing those who make a quarter of a million dollars per year.
And back then, that's like beyond the 1%.
It's like the 0.2% or some ridiculously small amount of people.
But because of inflation, the threshold goes down.
In the end, I don't think this is actually going to have a massive impact on regular working people directly, but indirectly, absolutely it will.
But let's first break down why this is a massive assault on this country and the free market.
Watcher Guru says in March, President Biden proposed a 44.6 capital gains tax in the 2025 government budget, the highest in history.
That is, he is proposing one of the largest tax hikes in history.
The proposal includes a 25% tax on unrealized gains for high net worth individuals.
What does that mean?
It means that if, uh, I don't know, you buy an asset and then one day someone comes to you and they're like, hey, you know that thing you bought for a hundred bucks?
It's worth a million dollars now.
You got to pay taxes on it.
And you're like, well, but I don't have any money.
I only have the thing.
Like, here, my friends, I have this delicious 8.4 pH Icelandic spring water.
Mmm, Iceland.
And, uh, normally, this would go for a couple bucks.
But guess what?
This is Tim Kast's official discard.
unidentified
Mmm.
tim pool
So it's now worth $1,000.
Do you have $1,000?
No.
I have a bottle of water.
Well, the government is asking for 25% of $1,000.
Yo, I don't have 250 bucks.
I have a bottle of water.
unidentified
Okay.
tim pool
Yo, I don't have 250 bucks, I have a bottle of water.
Okay, I have to sell it.
This is how they steal property from working people as well.
It's how the government seizes property.
It's how they break up wealth and decentralize it.
So let's say you had 100 acres 100 years ago.
The government comes, says, property tax time!
And you go, okay, well, I don't have any money, I just have the land.
And they go, looks like you're gonna have to sell a parcel of the land to pay the taxes.
So, you take one acre off, now you have 99 acres.
You use that money from the sale to pay your taxes.
Next year, they come back, property tax time, and you say, I still don't have any money, I just have land.
And they're like, well, figure it out.
Make money off the land, do something.
Piece by piece, the property gets sold off.
And you can actually see this.
Historically, it's all over, you know, slightly rural areas that are like suburban and developing.
You can see a large, like a 10-acre plot, and then a bunch of small houses lining the side of it.
And usually what that is, is it was a larger plot of land that someone, you know, staked a long time ago, and then over time couldn't afford to pay it, so they were giving it up.
That's what happens with unrealized gains taxes.
You will buy a bottle of water.
Let's be more realistic.
Let's say, you know, I got a phone here.
I got my phone.
Let's say you buy that phone, and it's a collector's edition phone, you bought it for $1,000, and then instantly in the secondary market, everyone's trading, it's going crazy, and the value skyrockets to $10,000 because it's rare and everyone wants it.
You have to declare the value of that asset.
And their argument is, because it went up in value, you owe them money.
And they'll say, 25%, you owe us $2,500.
And you're gonna be like, I don't have any money!
And they're gonna say, sell it.
You gotta get rid of it.
Oh, well, I suppose you could always write off the losses in a similar fashion, but... They said together the proposals would increase the top marginal rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to 44.6%.
The source of this rate is a footnote from the General Explanations of the Administration Fiscal Year 2025 Revenue Proposals, and it reads in relevant part, a separate proposal would first raise the top ordinary rate to 39.6%.
An additional proposal would increase the net investment income rate by 1.2%.
In the long run, the end result of this is the elimination of wealth.
You may be saying, 400,000?
I don't have that much money.
Who makes that much money?
That's 1% territory, like I mentioned.
In a few years, with the rate of inflation, it could be 1.5, then 2%, then 4%, then 6%, then 10%.
The end result of this is the elimination of wealth. You may be saying,
if 400,000, I don't have that much money, who makes that much money? That's 1% territory,
like I mentioned. In a few years, with the rate of inflation, it could be 1.5, then 2%, then 4%,
then 6%, then 10%. What I mean is, you know, look, it's only a matter of time.
Actually, let me do this.
Let me pull up the Debt Clock.
DebtClock.org, they call it.
Is that what it is?
Let's see, U.S.
National Debt Clock.
Let's pull this up and see if we can get a breakdown.
As of today, because we have the time machine, right?
So as of today, the U.S.
national debt is $34 trillion, and the debt per citizen is $103,000.
But let's see if we can go to... I think they have... Here we have assets.
Oh, I love this.
I love this.
Small business assets.
We have $17 billion.
Corporate assets, $23 billion.
Oh no, I'm sorry, trillion.
I thought those were cents for a second.
Okay, so that's 17 trillion in small business assets.
They're going to tax those assets when they go up in value.
That's an unrealized gain.
Now, perhaps the argument is that it's going to be on stocks or something or, you know, more easily traded assets.
Fine.
Here we go.
Let's see if we can get... I think they have the average, the median income right here.
And let me see if I can find it.
Dollar supply now, dollar supply in 1913 was $663 million.
Unemployment rates, where's the, oh man, trying to find the median income.
That's why I pulled this up.
So get out of here with that.
Let's see, money creation, trade balance.
Revenue per citizen from the tax is $14,000.
That's interesting.
That'll go up.
Payroll tax, excise tax.
Where's, uh, total worker compensation is really high.
Where's the, uh... I thought it was in here.
I suppose I could be wrong.
I thought it was, uh, median income.
Well, I'll just do this.
Let's do, uh, median U.S.
income.
And it's currently at $37,585 as of 2022.
And I think it's fair to say... Actually, let's do this.
unidentified
2024.
tim pool
I think it's fair to say, like, You know, who cares, right?
Okay, so median isn't necessarily the right way to put it.
The average salary is $59,000.
$59,384 according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
So, I wonder if we can get a projection on that.
Let's do this.
Let's go into the time machine and go forward to, ooh, we got 2028.
Let's go four years into the future.
Debt per citizen is going to go up about $30,000.
Savings per family, okay, that's a good metric.
It'll be $26,000.
be 26,000. If we go back, it's 7,000. So when you look at that and you see the number going
up from 7,000 to 28,000, you may be thinking like, wow, it's a 4X gain.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
That's inflation.
Four times.
Which would be crazy.
Now, I don't know that income will rise to those levels.
I certainly don't think it will.
But at $60,000 being the average, and the average assets per citizen is $603,000, my
point is, while it may take some time, these rules ultimately will impact regular people
based on inflation unless they change, which is a strong possibility.
That being said, the end result of this, they say it's only for individuals with taxable income higher than a million dollars and investment income above $400,000.
I think that's about like 40,000 people or so in this country.
I'm not gonna cry.
Uh, too much about increasing taxes like this?
The biggest issue is not taxing the rich, in my opinion.
Here's a secret.
And I wonder if it's that rich people don't want you to know this.
Do you know what happens when they raise my taxes?
I just spend the money, right?
So, I am rich.
And when, you know, my accountant says, you know, after Trump gets out of office, the tax rate's going up under Joe Biden.
And I was like, okay, so what do we do?
And he's like, well, expand your business, invest.
And that's allowed, that's an option.
So what happens is, When taxes are low, you get a big profit, and you put it away, you invest it personally.
You always have to invest, don't get me wrong.
When taxes are high, it just means that less money is getting put away because you have a higher tax liability.
If you have a low tax year, like under Trump or something, you've got a business and they're like, we're going to clear $100,000 in profit this year.
What should we do?
And it's like, OK, well, I don't know.
We don't have any strong plans.
We're going to pay 20% corporate tax or something.
And so you walk away with $80,000.
Then Joe Biden gets in and they say, we're increasing your tax to 40%.
And they're like, oh, damn.
Now I'm going to have only $60,000 after $100,000 in profit?
I might as well invest in machinery for the company and things that I'm allowed to expense or depreciate because then I pay less in taxes.
Less of my assets and resources go towards the government, more go towards growing my business.
So it's not perfect, it's not absolute, but when taxes go up it just means spend more money and could in essence actually help pressure the economy to grow.
It's not that simple.
There's also stagnation.
If taxes get too high, then you may actually have, when it comes to shareholders and dividend requirements and things like that, and depending on the size of the company, it may actually revert to something more like, we're only going to clear $60,000 and we've got to pay out dividends to our shareholders expected, and then they'll cut corners.
So it's not absolute.
The important thing to understand, the real threat here is the unrealized gains tax.
That's what matters.
Because what this is basically saying is that you can't hold assets.
If you hold an asset and it goes up in value, you have to pay money on that.
That's insane.
It's forcing you to sell the asset or pay.
That's insanity.
I remember when I first bought like a couple hundred bucks in shares, and then it went up in value, and then I was talking to my account like H&R Block or something, and I was like, do I have to pay taxes?
Because like, I bought Square, you know, I bought a bunch of Square ones like $13, and it like went way up.
And he was like, no, you didn't make any money.
And I was like, really?
But the shares are worth way more.
And so I said, my net worth is higher.
And he's like, yeah, those are unrealized gains.
You've not made any money.
And I was like, oh, OK.
He's like, yeah, right.
If you sell that and pull cash out, you'll pay up capital gains tax for making money on the investment.
I went, oh, OK.
Now what they're saying is, if you invest in something, let's say you have $0.
Let's say you're broke and you're homeless.
And you download Robinhood.
And you're like, with my last $25, I'm gonna buy 25 shares of this company.
Beep.
And then a month later that company skyrockets in value and now you've got $10,000.
They woke up to you sleeping in the alley and they say, you owe us money.
And you're like, it was $25.
And they're gonna say, sell the asset to pay us.
And you're like, but then I'm losing the thing that made me the money.
Think about what that means.
People will be forced to sell the asset, which will drop the price of that asset.
So if you have a bunch of stock, And then they come, this is how it was going when they were talking about Elon Musk and wealth taxes.
They go to Elon Musk and they say, we're going to tax you on your unrealized gains of $100 billion.
So Elon ends up owning $10 billion because his stock went up in value.
He can't legally sell the stock.
He has, right now there's a legal dispute over whether or not he's going to get any money payment because Delaware blocked it.
So he doesn't even have that.
His net worth might be there, but how does he get the money?
Take loans against it, I guess.
So they go to him and they say, sell the stock.
$10 billion worth to pay your, look at this, 25%.
unidentified
25%.
tim pool
So let's say they implement this.
And one year, Elon sees a $2 billion growth in his net worth, so he's gotta pay, what are we looking at, 25%?
$500 million.
How does he get it?
They say, sell stock.
And he goes, okay, so he sells $500 million worth of stock, which he can't do, but let's say he did, and then what happens?
This drops the price of the asset, erasing those gains.
It's absolute insanity.
It makes no sense.
But I can't say I'm surprised!
No one ever accused Joe Biden of being the smartest guy in the room.
I don't really know what the plan here is, other than stripping away wealth, and perhaps stripping away competition.
The government wants to make it impossible for people to become rich.
Andrew Tate made a post.
He said, the portal is closing.
I agree with him.
I do.
He's saying, you gotta get rich, and you gotta get rich now.
Because it's getting harder and harder to do.
Intentionally.
Because they want you living in the pod, and they want you eating the bugs.
I do believe no matter what they implement and no matter how they implement it, it will always be possible for a person to become wealthy.
No matter what.
Even in a fascistic, totalitarian, kami-nazi dictatorship, there are ways to become wealthy.
And, you know, depending.
I mean, like, if you look at the Soviet Union, it's like, become a loyal party member and work your way up the ranks, and they reward you.
And then there are other things, like if, you know, if you're an Olympic athlete, they were taking care of you and giving food.
But there are ways to gain power, no matter what system you are in.
The portal may be closing.
It's getting harder and harder to get rich, but you will always be able to do it.
You will.
And maybe that's their intention.
They want to make it so that only the .001% can ever find any wealth, and everyone else is living in the pod and eating the bugs.
Living in the pod and eating the bugs because they think there's too many of you.
And they only want the best and the brightest, the best of the best, to be able to grow and flourish and invest.
Thinking about it mathematically, If you wanted to build a robust system, you'd find, let's say you have 100 people in a room, and instead of saying, I'm going to give 50 people the opportunity to invest, why?
You're going to get a bunch of dumb ideas.
You say, I only want the best two people, the smartest out of all of you, to be able to invest and grow, to provide leadership.
The two decentralized and you're getting failure rates that are slightly higher.
Two centralized and you have a single point of failure.
So you probably want it to sit around, you know, 10% or 20% of people who are going to
be iterating and trying out new things while the rest are working for those individuals
you find to be smarter on the higher end of the bell curve, more likely to succeed.
I imagine that's what they're looking at.
There are too many people in this country running too many businesses, too many influencers, too much money being spread around, and they're thinking, no.
We want substantially less rich people, and substantially more poor people who are forced to work for them.
Because their attitude is, if you're smart enough to figure it out, you will, and then you deserve to be wealthy.
Whereas the way I see it, is that this country, we stand on the shoulders of giants, and everyone gets wealthy as a rising tide raises all ships.
But of course, increasing capital gains to this level, I think is a response mostly to the expansion of apps like Robinhood, where retail investors have emerged and they're able to manipulate the system equally as much as many others.
We saw this with the meme stocks, you know, AMC.
Shout out to those who bought DJT and bought the dip because it is up, I think, like 12%.
The market's improved in some areas.
But I think ultimately what happens is the establishment is worried.
They're worried that with apps like Robinhood, with social media, regular people are gaining the ability to become influential, and they don't like it.
I certainly should not be here.
They tolerate it.
I think they ignored the internet for too long.
They ignored the decentralization.
And what ended up happening was, well, regular people started to make money and become powerful.
People that normally wouldn't.
Some decided to play ball and some did not.
But I'm gonna be honest, and I mean this with all due respect, Mr. Beast, Casey Neistat, me, we are not conventional people in the traditional sense as to who they would put on TV.
They wanted those celebrities they could manipulate and control, and I have to wonder.
I wonder if it goes back to people like John Lennon.
A foreigner who comes to this country singing pop songs about, you know, how he loves his girl and wants to hold her hand.
And then starts writing about revolution.
Now don't get me wrong, that song was, you know, if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you're not going to make with anyone how.
It's like, I agree with that.
But he opposed the Vietnam War, and this was American military and foreign policy.
So, uh, hmm, can't have that.
I wonder if after this is when we saw, you know, these deep state entertainment types.
People who work for the intelligence agencies who are controlling who wasn't and was allowed to become influential in entertainment because they did not want someone to become prominent and then advocate against their plans.
Hence, almost all of the celebrities are always marching in lockstep with the crackpot deep state narrative.
I think that makes sense.
Now with the internet, uh oh, people like me, yikes, were able to gain a significant amount of influence and they've got to figure out how to curtail that.
So they silenced people like Alex Jones and they tried to silence many others.
With X and Elon Musk, they've been pushed back quite a bit.
But I wonder if, once again, what we're seeing here, it's all just about making sure regular people never gain power, and only those who the gatekeepers approve are ever able to gain a foothold and gain influence.
But I don't know.
I really don't.
I do think it's really funny how many people accuse me, like, there's people who literally think that I got, like, a phone call from some, like, either the deep states or Israel, And it's funny because they're commenting, it's like, I'll have an opinion where I'm just like, these activists have no idea what they're saying, and then people will comment, Tim got the call.
They literally believe that this stuff happens.
unidentified
No.
tim pool
It doesn't happen that way.
I'll tell you quite simply how it happens.
Journalists work for news organizations because the news organizations hire people who are complacent and stupid and will say what they're told to say.
They don't need to go to anybody and call them and tell them what to say.
Stupid people will just do it.
So, I hate to break it to you.
But for the most part, if you're hearing our voice, my voice, or anyone else's, it's because within certain respects, the intelligence agencies tolerate it.
They may not like it, they may try to suppress it, but it's tolerable.
Alex Jones was intolerable and they destroyed his business and that was the plan.
We saw that from that sound investigations.
Audio.
Undercover audio.
So you get it.
I've described it as pressure release.
They let it happen because they're like, let the anti-establishment people have their show so they can watch and feel like they're being spoken to, but make sure you suppress it.
We want to give the left and the uniparty establishment 51% and the right 49% friction, so that over a long enough period of time their narrative loses, but they feel like they're being heard.
Otherwise they'll act a fool.
Well anyway, I digress.
Shout out to Joe Biden on the largest tax increase ever!
Next segment's coming up at 6pm on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
A school's former athletic director framed the principal with an AI-generated voice to make him racist.
Yeah, that's what the police are alleging.
This dude's, uh, he's been criminally charged.
Dazon Darian, 31, was charged with disrupting school activities after investigators determined Darian faked Iceworth's voice and circulated the audio on social media in January.
According to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office, Darian's nickname, DJ, was among the names mentioned in the audio clips he allegedly faked.
Quote, the audio clip has profound repercussions, police wrote in charging documents.
It not only led to Icehort's temporary removal from the school, but also triggered a wave of hate-filled messages on social media and numerous calls to the school.
The recording also caused significant disruptions for the PHS staff and students.
My friends, wow.
The first thing I did was I looked up the audio itself, because I'm like, how do you get framed with AI audio?
It's got to be some pretty dang good AI audio.
And in fact, It's not really, at all, good audio.
And, I mean, it's good enough to question.
And so I haven't, I am going to play it.
It's not the most egregious thing ever, it's just him basically, he insults black people and then he says something about Jews, I guess.
But it's, I think the guy who did this, clever.
Clever.
Now, he's allegedly done it, we don't know exactly what happened, but the story is, this goes back to, we have this story from the Baltimore song, Pikesville High Principal facing scrutiny by school system after highly offensive recording released.
This is nuts.
Imagine you're a principal at a school, some guy doesn't like you, so he records you, runs your voice through an AI voice machine, and then leaks the audio, and then everyone just believes it.
What are you going to do?
I suppose the issue is you can't believe anything now.
And this is just the trial balloon.
Because we are going to see this like crazy ramping up in the next couple of months.
There's already an app called Eleven Labs.
There you go.
Now you know about it.
Where...
You can take, and fortunately I would say for myself, for some reason it can't AI imitate my voice.
I don't know why.
But you can take almost anyone's voice, load it in, and then after about like even 20 or 30 seconds sample, it can recreate their voice perfectly.
It's really good at Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson.
It seemingly can't get my voice.
It's weird.
We've tried it on IRL.
We'll, as an example, have Jordan Peterson say, don't clean your room or something like that to explain to people.
But whenever my voice is loaded in, it just talks like this.
It doesn't use the same, I don't know, it's weird.
For some reason, we've played it several times and we've tried different samples and everyone's just like, that doesn't really sound like you.
And I'm like, I'll take it.
I'll take it.
So this dude, temporarily it's removed from his job, but let me play the audio.
We have this here, it's 45 seconds.
Project Baltimore played this, and I warn you.
I warn you.
So it says, y'all, this is my principal, a white man.
The teachers he's mentioning are black.
And, uh, here's... I think the audio should play.
unidentified
For me and only me.
You know, I seriously don't understand why I have to constantly put up with these dumbasses here every day.
Between these ungrateful black kids who can't test their way out of a paper bag, or these teachers who don't get it, how hard is it to get these students to meet their grade level expectations?
Lawrence and Ravenel should have never been hired.
And don't let me get started on DJ.
I'm going to drag his black ass out of here one way or another.
I'm going to get something to stick.
I'm just so sick of the inadequacies of these people.
And if I have to get one more complaint from one more Jew in this community, I'm gonna join the other side.
Kathy, I'm done.
tim pool
So, right away you'll notice in the middle... So, I wanted to hear this, because I'm like, how do you catch that it's AI?
People believe this was real audio.
I do not believe this is legitimate audio.
I do believe it's AI.
And the reason is, it appears he accidentally used two... So, when you're doing voice AI manipulation, they have a variation meter.
You can, like, adjust the variance.
And it looks like he, for whatever reason, generated two different sentences using the exact same intonations.
They sound identical except for the word said.
And that is not human.
Humans do not speak that way.
And so, as an example, saying something like, you know, I'm gonna go walk my dog.
And then, I will get on a bus.
And then someone said, you know, I'm going to go buy a hot dog.
And then I'm going to drive a car.
You'd be like, that's strange.
He, you get my point?
Like it's, it's in the middle.
Let me, let me play it again for you so you can hear it.
unidentified
Can't test their way out of a paper bag or these teachers who don't get it.
How hard is it to get these students to meet their expectations?
Lawrence and Ravenel should have never been hired.
And don't let me get started on DJ.
I'm going to drag his black ass out of here one way or another.
I'm gonna get something to stick.
I'm just so sick of the inadequacies of these people.
tim pool
So you notice he starts the sentence, they start very identically.
I think it's actually before this.
unidentified
Between these ungrateful black kids who can't test their way out of a paper bag.
tim pool
See, that sentence didn't make sense. Test their way out of a paper bag. Like nobody would talk
unidentified
that way. Or these teachers who don't get it. How hard is it to get these students to meet
their grade level expectations? Anyway, you get the point.
tim pool
It's not identical, but I listened to it and I was like, yeah, that definitely sounds like fake AI-generated voice.
He's not responding to anything, and the thing that is really hard with AI voice generation is getting proper intonation on sentences.
So, like, I'll give you an example.
Actually, this is really funny.
There's a viral video I saw from the Spider-Man 3 video game, and it's a really good example of the difficulty in the AI voice generation is exemplified by this.
So, do you guys remember Spider-Man 3?
You know, with Tobey Maguire?
So they made a video game of it, and Tommy Maguire had to read lines.
If you do not have a director, you don't know how to say the lines.
So I've done voices for Freedom Tunes, shout out to Seamus Coghlan in Freedom Tunes, and Seamus will send me a script, and we know this.
You can ask me to read lines as Dr. Fauci or whatever.
Oh, Fauci's out of the news, but, you know, I was the voice of Fauci on Freedom Tunes.
But without actually giving me direction, it doesn't make sense.
The example.
In the Spider-Man video game, it's a scene where Sandman grabs Harry Osborn.
For those that don't know anything about this, the bad guy grabs the character named Harry, and Spider-Man sees it happen and goes, Why?
Because when Tobey Maguire was reading the lines for the game, he likely did not have a director.
There was a sound tech who said, these are the lines they sent, just read them.
It's like, okay.
And then it says, Spider-Man, colon, Harry.
And so he goes, Harry.
And then he goes to the next one.
When they're adding those voices to the game, Tobey Maguire didn't realize he's supposed to be going, Harry!
Yelling as his friend is being swallowed by the villain.
And people were like, ah, he doesn't even care.
And I'm like, no, no, that's not it.
It's that he doesn't know what he's reading for.
When you punch words into an AI voice generator, And you say something like, the cat stole my cheese again!
And you want it to be angry, it's actually difficult to get it to do it, because it'll go, the cat stole my cheese again?
And you're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, why did it add that inflection?
It does things like that.
Or another example is...
If I were to take an AI voice and had it say something like, TimCast IRL is the greatest podcast of all time.
Check it out now.
It's up live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.
Often the AI goes, TimCast IRL is the greatest podcast of all time.
Check it out now, 8pm live.
Okay, you see, that's not how a person talks.
And so the challenge then is, you have to put punctuations and you have to try and figure out how to massage and manipulate it so that it actually creates what you're trying to get it to create.
And so often, you'll have to do an ellipses, you'll have to...
This is funny, when I put the word Biden into a voice chat thing, I don't put B-I-D-E-N, I put B-Y-E space D-E-N, Biden.
So there's an app called Suno, and S-U-N-O, and it makes songs.
So I was taking Trump Truth social posts and loading it in.
The problem is they would say BIDEN and they would say I-NUNITY.
So you have to actually break words up to make it say it phonetically because it doesn't actually understand modern English, I guess.
So in order to get it to say BIDEN properly, sometimes it will, I put B-Y-E space D-E-N.
So it went BIDEN.
That's the only way, because it was going, President Biden wants, and I'm like, no, no, what?
Or, you know, it just, or just weird things like that by Dean, and none of it made sense.
Anyway, I digress.
Welcome to the game.
It is happening.
We are watching it right now.
This is just the beginning.
As this AI tech improves, you ain't gonna know what's real.
This dude, people believed it!
They believed he actually said this stuff.
Now the dude's been criminally charged for it.
He's also charged with theft and retaliating against a witness, related to alleged illicit payments he made to school athletics coach, as well as stalking.
Yo, that's crazy.
Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough, County Executive Johnny Olszewski, and School Superintendent Miriam Rogers announced at 1.30 p.m.
press conference to discuss the case.
Eiswert's voice, which police and AI experts believe was simulated, made disparaging comments towards black students and surrounding Jewish community.
It was widely circulated on social media.
Questions about the audio's authenticity quickly followed.
Police wrote in charging documents that Darren had accessed the school's network on multiple occasions, searching for open AI tools and used large language models that have practiced deep learning, et cetera, et cetera.
The only voice, one that I know about, is Eleven Labs.
There may be more, I just don't go around searching for it.
But I will say this.
Here's the fear.
This guy's an idiot.
So allegedly, he makes the audio and then posts it himself?
Here's a scary thought.
Ain't nothing stopping you from posting an imitation of someone's voice.
I'm talking about this on IRL.
If I do an impersonation of what I would describe as Rally Donald Trump, you know, I'm not really good at doing a voice of Trump when he's talking calmly.
I actually don't think my Trump impersonation is all that good.
He's a hard guy to impersonate.
But I'll typically do that, you know, where he's like... I don't know if I can do it on command like this, but...
He'll say something like, "'Tipcast' is, it's a good show.
Subs say, very good."
You know, I can do an imitation gimmick of it, but it's the more exaggerated Trump.
I'm allowed to do that.
I'm allowed to imitate Donald Trump saying, "'Tipple' is the best.
Subs say, too good.
Too good of show."
And that's not a crime.
If that is the case, then there's nothing stopping me from using any tool to also make those imitations for the purposes of parody.
Falsely impersonating someone also isn't necessarily a crime.
So where it gets interesting now is, they're charging him with something.
And it may actually be a civil matter.
They're saying, disrupting school activities.
That's what he was charged with?
I don't know, man.
What if he posted a video and says, this is my principle, and it was, I don't see how this, I gotta be honest, I don't see how this is a crime.
He says, this is my principle, and then he does the voice.
What if I said, this is my president, Donald Trump, so good, he's the best.
That's not a crime.
And if someone believed that was actually, it's not a good Trump impression, I'm not saying it is.
Maybe my Fauci is better.
It's not illegal.
You don't have to be wearing two masks.
unidentified
You have to be wearing 12, because if you don't, we are going to arrest you.
tim pool
And that's not even a good Fauci either.
They're exaggerated cartoon versions.
The point is, none of that's illegal.
What if I use an AI?
To do the impersonation for me, because I was making a joke, and I said, hey, this is Dr. Fauci, and it sounds like him saying, wear 12 masks, and people thought it was real.
Am I legally required to label things satire or parody?
This is where things break down and get absolutely nuts, because I don't know how you charge this guy with a crime.
Perhaps it's for the purpose of fraud, and you got to prove intent.
I get it.
But man, yo, this is wild.
It absolutely is.
Further, I would just say this, if the dude made the audio, and maybe he didn't, I don't know, maybe someone else made it and gave it to him, but considering he was searching for AI stuff, that's the evidence they have, but imagine someone made the audio, recorded it, published it, and then posted on a forum somewhere, hey guys, I made this fake audio of my principal because I think he's a scumbag, and I imagine this is what his inner monologue sounds like.
And then someone on that forum took the file and posted it to Twitter with no context.
People then hear the audio and they're like, whoa, this is the principal saying these things.
They couldn't charge you.
You'd be like, I posted it on a forum saying it was satire making fun of him because I think he's a racist.
I didn't do this.
You see, there's nothing you can do.
The machine has gone nuts.
Trust nothing.
How are we supposed to know it's real?
They have AI detection software, but I don't know how good it's gonna be.
So, all I can say is, it hath begun.
Next segment's coming up tonight at 8 p.m.
