You don't want to miss it.
Now, let's get into the news.
Mass arrests over the weekend at various university protests that are purportedly anti-Israel.
Oh boy, I got a lot to say about these protests.
I'm just going to start with I am done defending communists who themselves physically attack people who hold rallies or protests that the communists don't agree with.
To elaborate, right now what we're seeing across the country at these universities they claim is an anti-Israel gathering.
However, it's not really.
I mean, it kind of is.
That's certainly a core tenet and a principal reason for why people are gathering.
But if you take a look at the photos, if you take a look at what people are actually protesting for, it is...
I don't know.
Vague communism.
I had to say the word communism in a certain sense because they use that as a weapon.
The communists do.
They'll say, aha, see, we're not communists.
We care about Israel.
But I'll give you an example.
When you actually look at the videos and photos coming out of these universities, you'll see that at Columbia, for instance, they call it the People's University.
They have a big sign saying, Welcome to the People's University.
What does that have to do with being anti-war?
The corporate press then calls them all anti-war because they slap a label on themselves as if that is exactly what they're fighting for.
When in reality, many of the things they claim to be advocating for are contradictory.
I'll give you an example.
Alec Stein went down to UT Austin and he was asking the people there, they said they were LGBT for Palestine and things like this, and when he asked them, yes, but in Palestine, in Gaza, you go to prison or you could be killed for being gay, what did they do?
They physically attacked him.
Now, outside of physically attacking a guy, they also physically attacked Ami Horwitz because he was waving an American flag.
There you go.
What shows that this is not really about Israel and Palestine is particularly the LGBT issue.
I mean, to be fair, putting up a big sign saying, Welcome to the People's University shows it's really just communism.
And look, What they like to do is they say, see, when we protest for our rights, they call it communism.
And I'm like, no, I'm saying that when you call it the People's University, when you say you're trying to seize the institution for the people, I'm calling that communism.
Then I'm saying that is the underlying organizing principle.
And then you attach all of your ancillary pet issues to it.
But the reality is it's an amorphous, chaotic blob with no real intention.
I saw this during Occupy Wall Street.
We've seen it subsequently.
And now we see it in the biggest Occupy protests since Occupy Wall Street.
What I mean by that is people setting up tents and camping and things like this.
There is no stated goal.
So, I'll ask you this.
What is the demand of these protests?
There isn't one.
It's generic, chaotic destruction.
Hence that video we saw where the young woman was like, I actually don't know what we're demanding of NYU.
Why are they protesting on college campuses?
First question.
I ask this of any activists.
Why are you protesting at the university campus grounds?
What will the university be able to do to help the people of Gaza or stop Israel?
Oh, the answer to that question is nothing.
It's seemingly irrelevant.
What this really is, it's another summer of love.
It is bored young people trying to fit in, acting like they're deservative of something.
And the unfortunate thing is what really makes me sad is You know, maybe it's intentional, maybe it's not, but the real protest needs to be against the Biden administration for squandering the inheritance of Gen Z. Why do so many young people feel like they're owed something?
Well, they are, right?
We build society, we pass it down to the next generation.
Only now, Biden's giving that away.
How do you succeed in destroying a nation?
First, after you take away the inheritance of the next generation, make sure they think the real problem is capitalism.
That way they can never fix their problem.
It's creepy and it's sad.
We'll start here with the general news about the mass arrests.
Then we'll talk about Alex Stein and Ami Horowitz.
NPR reports universities across the country turned to forced removal.
Oh, forced removal, they call it.
You mean arrests?
of pro-Palestinian protests and encampments this weekend as more and more students mounted organized opposition to Israel's handling of the war in Gaza.
On Saturday, more than 275 people were taken into custody in campuses from Arizona to Massachusetts.
I'm going to pause right there once again and say the reason why I don't believe this is actually about Palestine and Israel Or genocide or anything like that.
Is that China has been engaged in some of the worst behaviors imaginable.
Notably with what's going on with the Uighur Muslims.
And where is that?
Is it Xinjiang?
I think that's where it is.
And what do you get?
You get Disney thanking the security forces that helped facilitate this.
And nobody cares.
There's no protests from these people.
They don't occupy universities and say stop the genocide.
And it's against Muslims too.
That's why I say it's not really about Israel.
Israel ignites, probably because of TikTok, in an Arab Spring-like fashion.
Congress then makes a strong move to get rid of TikTok.
You see where this is going.
They say, Beginning at 11 p.m.
Friday night, campus police at Arizona State University, one of the nation's largest public colleges, started to warn a group of protesters that their gathering on Alumni Lawn was unauthorized.
After the group refused to leave, campus police arrested 72 people for trespassing by early Saturday morning, according to a university release.
Well, the university will continue to be an environment that embraces freedom of speech.
ASU's first priority is to create a safe and secure environment that supports teaching and learning.
Aw, now it does, right?
You know, I just want to shout out all of the cops and all the administrators who do nothing when they're protesting against white people and things like this, or for DEI.
They're going to say more than 1,000 miles east on the campus of Washington University in St.
Louis, another pro-Palestinian protest sprung up on Saturday.
Protesters spread out on campus with tents and made calls for more people to join, according to a university statement.
It quickly became clear through the words and actions of this group that they did not have good intentions.
When the group began to set up a camp in violation of the university policy, we made the decision to tell everyone present they needed to leave.
Let me show you this map.
USA Today has a map that is actually kind of old.
This is from the 25th.
And so, right, you don't have St.
Louis on here.
But you can see here, massive protests, massive arrests.
And take a look at this.
Universities all across the country are seeing these protests.
I say, clear them out.
Don't care.
Clear them out.
I say, send in the police and clear them out.
Now, there are many people who are saying, these protests are anti-Semitic.
And I'm just like, dude, there's a difference between being anti-Israel and just hating Jewish people.
Okay?
There is an overlap.
That's true.
There are some people who don't differentiate between anti-Israel or anti-Zionist and hating Jewish people.
And I also think there is an inerrant challenge in why there isn't—the reason why there is an overlap in that If you're a Jewish person, and you're critical of Israel's actions in the war in Gaza, but you do believe that Israel has a right to exist, you're a Zionist, and they're threatening your life.
And that's where the overlap starts to come into anti-Semitism, and I understand why there is that overlap.
Again, I'll stress, it is mind-numbingly annoying when someone comes out protesting, like someone who's actually angry.
You go on Twitter and you say, Israel just bombed this place, they should not have done that.
I go, oh wow.
Then you get people who are just like waving Israeli flags and saying, you're an anti-Semite.
And it's like, dude, they criticized the military action.
However, now many people probably don't want to acknowledge this.
I think a lot of people do acknowledge it, but some people don't.
The reason why often you see the conflation of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is because, as I stated, there may be a Jewish person who's like, look, I want peace.
I don't want the war.
I don't think Israel should be doing the bombing campaigns they're doing, but please, we were attacked and we just want to be left alone.
unidentified
Aha!
tim pool
You're a Zionist!
That land is not yours.
Give it back to Palestine.
So when you get this guy, Columbia Bar student protester who said Zionists don't deserve to live.
Okay, you see, here's the problem.
Because there's three kinds of Zionists, according to these activists, and I should say there's three tiers, but they're all Zionists.
So you might be thinking, a Zionist is someone who wants to create the nation of Israel, and they're going to enforce it with violence, and they're bombing Gaza, and they're saying, we will have all of this country And they say, that's what a Zionist is.
Then there's the, well, they may not agree with Israel's actions, they want peace, but they do believe Israel has a right to exist, and that's a Zionist, too.
And then, of course, my favorite Zionist is the, I don't want to be involved at all, this is where I fall in, I don't want to be involved at all, I don't support U.S.
intervention in most instances, and I don't know why we're funding this and think we probably shouldn't be funding it at all, but, yeah, there's Israel on a map.
Zionist.
Not exaggerating.
I have people calling me a Zionist for simply saying Israel is a place with a government, and it is!
It literally is!

Now, I got to admit this.
tim pool
What really is wild to me is all of this kicks off with Hamas attacking, flying over the
gates, paragliding in, murdering and kidnapping people.
And then what's the response we get from the people who hate Israel?
I don't.
I'm sorry.
Israel Derangement Syndrome.
I'm going to say it again.
I hope all the Israel Derangement Syndrome people hear it.
And they lose their minds and their blood boils and they scream and they bang their fists.
Israel Derangement Syndrome.
There are so many countries on this planet that we fund.
There are too many countries that we fund.
There's a bunch of wars happening all over this world.
There's funding we're sending to Sudan.
We're doing deals with Saudi Arabia.
We're sending money to, still, to Iraq and Afghanistan, though mostly that's ended.
The most money we've ever spent, Vietnam, I know that's over.
unidentified
Right?
tim pool
We've got military bases in South Korea.
We are overspending in Europe on NATO.
You've got Chinese genocide with the Uighur Muslims, but they won't shut up about Israel.
By all means.
You're allowed to criticize Israel.
You're allowed to be focused on Israel.
But I'm saying these protesters who are going around screaming don't actually care at all.
And it's many of these people who are like, yeah, but Tim, you're a Zionist.
And I'm like, what?
Well, I don't even know or care about Israel.
And they're like, you think Israel exists?
And then, uh, the funny thing is, it's all propaganda, man.
Look, I will tell you this, and I will say it definitively, there are prominent people who hate Israel who have ex— prominent!
I'm talking from the 10,000 followers up to 500,000 followers who have said to me, you are a Zionist because you think Israel is real.
And I'm like, but there's a country, and they have a government, and they have weapons, and there's a war going on.
And the response is, Israel is a military occupation, not a country that has taken over Palestine.
And if you think Israel is a country, then you're a Zionist.
It's how they use racist and white supremacy, the exact same thing.
And I'm like, dude, I don't even want to be involved in this, okay?
So here's the ultimate issue.
This is the guy, Kimani James apparently, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's the guy, people have reported in numerous outlets that, I'll put it that way, he's the guy who said, we're going to remove these people from the camp, everyone take one step forward, and he got banned because he said Zionists don't deserve to live.
The question is, who's he talking about?
Because look, I'm not Jewish.
Okay?
I don't know anything about Israel.
I've been there one time.
Whatever.
I don't know.
And they call me a Zionist.
They call me a Zionist.
So what if you're a Jewish person who's like, we are building a homeland.
I don't want war.
I'm a conscientious objector.
I refuse to serve in that.
If all these things they say doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
And now you've got a problem.
It is the singular Jewish state in the world.
And if you're saying it should not exist, and there are people who agree with you on military, you are no longer talking about... You are getting into the overlap, I should say, where you're basically saying the singular Jewish state shouldn't exist for political reasons, and now you're getting into the area where people are going to start calling you anti-Semitic.
I get it.
There's a difference between saying, aha, a Jewish person is such, and a country is such, and that's why I say there's an overlap.
It's light, but I think it's fair to say there's an overlap.
I don't think it's fair to say that anti-intervention, that isolation, that refusing to fund it is anti-Semitic.
I don't think it's fair to say that criticizing Israel's military action is anti-Semitic.
I don't think it's fair to say that criticizing the Balfour Declaration and war is anti-Semitic.
But I do think there's obvious reasons why you get into this anti-Semitic territory when you start getting into the border of it.
But I'll put it this way.
I think most importantly, guys, don't take my word for it.
Just go on Twitter, look up the accounts that are criticizing Israel, and you will find the majority of them, they also hate Jewish people.
They're posting about people with tiny hats and all this other stupid nonsense.
They do it all the time.
Not every single one, because I have friends who are very critical of Israel, who have no problem whatsoever with Jewish people or anything like that, and I have friends who are critical of Israel and say Israel should be allowed to exist, they should be allowed to defend themselves, but this is going too far.
I can respect all of that.
But then there are people who are like, I'm not anti-Semitic, I just don't like Israel.
And then they start talking about Z-Jews all the time, non-stop.
They don't shut up about it.
Dude, I'll tell you this.
I used to have—we had an old community forum.
Well, how did we do it?
I don't remember.
It was like an open access public community newsroom that I ran well before the Tim Kast Company and all this stuff.
It was when I just had a single YouTube channel.
And there were people who would come in and do everything in their power to make everything about Israel.
I'm like, these people are sick in the head.
They have got a mental problem.
I'd be like, look, the big news right now in the United States is, you know, Hillary Clinton is saying this about Trump and this and that because it's like 2017-18.
And then someone would be like, you know, Hillary Clinton's Clinton Foundation takes a lot of money from foreign parties.
And then I'd be like, oh yeah.
And then someone would be like, yeah, like, they get a bunch of money from Israel.
And someone would go, wow, Israel.
And then they'd be like, oh man, I've been to Israel once.
Do you know what Israel's doing right now?
Wow, Israel.
Yeah.
And the government.
Now let's talk about.
And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What just happened?
But I'm not even kidding.
That stuff I get.
The funny thing was how, in the chat, somebody would be like, what are you guys up to today?
And some guy would be like, I think I'm just gonna chill out, order some pizzas and watch TV.
And then someone would be like, you ever have pizza in a different country?
And then someone else would be like, yeah, I was in Italy once, I had pizza.
It was really strange, no sauce.
And then he goes, yeah, I had pizza in Israel.
And I'm like, uh-oh, here we go.
I'm not kidding.
This literally happened.
And then he's like, you know, he's like, I had pizza in Israel one time, and it's like, man, but what Israel's doing, and then all of a sudden everyone's talking about Israel.
And I'm just like, finally, I went in, I was like, guys, if you bring up Israel one more time, I'm just shutting this thing down.
I'm banning everybody.
Like, the purpose of the newsroom is to be like, what's the top stories of the day?
Not for someone to come in and just scream and bash their head in the wall screaming about Israel.
It's insane.
I don't get it.
Israel Derangement Syndrome, my friends.
Well, look where we are now.
Alex Stein gets assaulted by trans-for-Palestine activists at UT Austin.
Ami Horowitz got attacked.
He was waving an American flag at CUNY, and they physically grabbed him, took his flag, and attacked him.
That's wild.
And then we have this story.
Emory University professor arrested after confronting cops over treatment of Gaza camp student.
She was charged with disorderly conduct and simple battery against a police officer.
This woman Let's see.
Here's the woman.
Screaming.
Actually, do they have the moment she hits the cop?
I don't know.
So, I think they might.
This woman right here on the left, in the white, is a professor.
And she's screaming, I'm a professor!
I'm a professor!
And she's getting arrested.
She's screaming.
This is a woman who's never faced accountability for anything in her life, most likely.
Maybe unfair to say, but the way she acts, it seems like it.
She hit a cop.
She got arrested for battering a cop, and apparently she admitted to hitting a cop.
Let's see.
They show her walking towards the scene of a person being arrested.
What are you doing?
After bending down closer to the person being arrested, another officer confronts her, screaming, get in the grass.
I reacted impulsively.
She said, I apologize, please remove the handcuffs.
Apparently what happened was she walked up as they were arresting someone and she bopped the cop.
I don't want to say hit, I mean some feeble old woman, but she like hit the cop on the head as he was arresting, so they arrested her.
These people are nuts.
Look, these protests aren't anti-Israel.
A lot of these people just despise Israel.
A lot of them are anti-Semitic.
There was some fake news where a university said that people were yelling, you know, to kill people, but it was actually pro-Israel protesters who were yelling that as sort of an ingest.
So basically what happens is a big group of people And they're doing what's called the People's Mic, and they're like, everyone listen, mic check, and everyone repeats what they say.
And when that happens, one of the pro-Israel protesters yells, kill, right, I'm not going to repeat it.
And the reason they did was to make a point.
It was ironic.
It was sarcastic.
This is what you want, right?
And then the universities and the press started running the story that students had yelled this to make it seem like it was The leftist protesters.
I'm going to wind down with this.
Lock them up.
Send in the cops.
Arrest them all.
You may be saying, but Tim, you can't abandon the classically liberal principles of free speech.
These protesters have every right.
Don't care.
We're well past that point.
And there's nothing I can say or do.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because these are leftists, where if I want to hold a rally, they will come and physically attack me.
These are leftists to where when I did hold an event, a ticketed, public, we were doing discussions on stage, it was called Ending Violence, Racism, and Authoritarianism.
And what happened?
They threatened to burn the theater down.
Theater canceled on us at the last minute.
So we moved to the local casino.
Event went off without a hitch.
We did end up losing, uh, uh, half our seats.
But that only really affected about, like, 150 or so ticket holders.
Unfortunate.
We weren't sold out.
And then, uh, we went and had our members-only event across the street from where the original event was supposed to happen because the people there refused to back down.
And far leftists threatened violence.
These are people who threw explosives at old ladies.
Not the same people, necessarily.
But I am done.
I'm done.
I asked this on TimCast IRL last week.
I was like, should we keep defending these people's right to protest if we don't have one?
Because of them.
Because they physically attack us.
And everyone's like, Tim, it doesn't matter whether you want to defend their free speech or not.
We're well past that point.
And that's what I agree.
I agree with.
I stated, I will not defend the free speech of people who don't believe in free speech.
If you come to me.
And you have abhorrent views, but you believe in free speech.
If you're a leftist, communist, anti-Israel, and you believe in free speech, and you defend people on the right having rallies and their free speech, I got no problem with you.
I will defend you at these protests.
The problem is all of these people?
unidentified
No.
tim pool
You try to speak at university, they'll get you banned.
You try to hold a rally outside, they'll physically attack you.
So, I'm not going to defend them.
Let the cops come and crush them.
The cops can come in and arrest each and every one, and I don't care.
Mike Johnson says he wants to pull their federal funding?
Do it already!
If this is the catalyst that pulls the funding from universities, fine, so be it.
It's just, it's over.
I can defend free speech for those who believe in free speech, but not for those who don't.
And these people don't believe in free speech.
They believe in their speech, and that's why, when they physically attack, Ami Horwitz and Alex Stein, they proved my point.
I will not defend them.
In fact, I will cheer when the police come and arrest all of them.
Why?
Because they're attacking people.
Because you don't get free speech, only they do.
Sorry, you don't get it either.
These are the rules you ask for.
These are the rules that you will get.
And I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 1pm on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.

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 It's a debate that rages on.

with Josh Hammer. It's a debate that rages on. Who is the worst US president ever? Is it Joe Biden?
Perhaps.
But there's also Woodrow Wilson and Buchanan.
So we don't know for sure.
It's going to take an editorial decision to say.
But of course, many of you probably would say Biden is the worst.
And I think he's a strong contender.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
He's not really a president.
He is a marionette.
Now, for the longest time, I'd been saying, I mean, it's been four years, that he was not.
And the problems we are facing in government were due to the fact that he's an incoherent, babbling dotard who has no idea what's going on.
I think that was true for the first couple of years.
I think Joe Biden actually was giving instruction.
And that's why Afghanistan was a disaster.
He was losing it, but people were listening.
Now I think he's out of it.
I think at this point, you see him walking around, his eyes are half-closed, and he's like, yeah, I'm sorry, dude.
He's gone.
And it may be that the country is now operating like a chicken with its head cut off, and he's not so much the full marionette that people think he is, but certainly other interests have sprung up to start just doing whatever they want.
And maybe that was always the case.
Maybe because he was incoherent.
But we do have this story from the post-millennial.
Biden has the lowest approval rating of the last nine presidents.
And interestingly enough, Trump is winning in all the swing states.
New interactive poll is out showing Trump is on track to win 312 electoral votes.
But we don't know for sure.
We don't know how this plays out.
And of course, if Joe Biden wins, they're going to say, see, this proves Joe Biden's actually not the worst president.
Trump is.
He could not win.
Assuming Joe Biden wins in November.
In reality, I think Joe Biden, it's fair to say, is one of the worst we've ever had.
He could potentially be a second Buchanan.
But the issue, I suppose, is when it comes to the election, it's not about who wins the argument.
It's about how many pieces of paper you can collect and count.
That means.
You know, I tell people polling doesn't matter because the people they ballot harvest from aren't answering polls.
We do get a lot of people all the time, they're like, hey, look, I've been, I'm 70 years old and I've never been polled one time.
Yeah, well, it's because out of the 300 million people, they poll 2,000.
So yeah, they're not going to get to you.
They do representative polling samples from key areas based on voting patterns to try and figure out how these areas will end up voting.
And they tend to be fairly accurate.
So we don't know for sure.
But the issue is, people who are ballot harvesting, they're going to areas that are not typically sought out by pollsters at all.
So these polls are meaningless.
The polls may be representative of an area, but if ballot harvesters are getting non-voters to vote, well, there you go.
Now, here's where things get interesting.
The Democrats, this is Scott Pressler told us this, are actually worried and they're saying, stop registering new voters.
Because as it turns out, new voters are leaning towards Donald Trump.
So when they go to people and say, we don't know your party, just vote, they go, okay, I'm going to vote for Trump.
Uh oh, don't register him.
That means something interesting.
That means if they ballot harvest, they're going to run into a lot of people that are going to be voting for Donald Trump.
That being said, the ballot harvesters, I think, are a bit more nefarious in that they're basically just going to people and saying, hey, did you vote for our guy yet?
And the average person who has no idea what's going on just goes, I don't know what you're talking about, man.
Like, look, your ballot's right there.
Don't vote for Trump.
He's racist.
And they go, sure, fine, whatever.
And that's what Democrats are counting on.
So even if Joe Biden is the worst, We will see.
We got a lot of information coming out.
Market crash underway.
All of these things indicative of a major Trump victory.
I think, where do I have this one?
I thought I had, oh I don't have the interactive poll pulled up.
I must have, I must, oh there it is, there it is.
I want to show you this first.
RCP swing states polling average.
Trump is up in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina.
The Electoral College, based on all of this polling, shows Trump getting 312 electoral votes.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch, my friends.
We don't know where this will end up, but we can say, yeah, people don't like Joe Biden, man.
And I wonder if I have this story pulled up.
Is this one it?
Uh, this one's an economic collapse story.
There were people, uh, there's a few polls showing that Americans remember the economy under Donald Trump.
And they liked it.
And now it's getting bad.
The funny thing is, you got these Democrats coming out and being like, the economy's actually good, why don't people understand?
And I'm like, I don't know, maybe it was the 80th video I saw on TikTok where a guy was like, I can't feed my kids.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
There's another video where a guy's like, we spent a thousand dollars on groceries for our family this week.
This is insane.
And it's like it's a guy with like four or five kids or whatever and people are like well you have five kids like yeah but still the amount of money that it's costing is like it's nuts.
There was one where it's like a guy had two kids and he spent 300 bucks for the week and he's like I can't do this.
It's like 300 bucks for the week to feed my family is it's just getting nuts.
I will add what's really funny.
There's this graph that I retweeted out this weekend.
Caloric intake has stayed the same since 1999, but obesity has skyrocketed.
I blame the internet!
Although I don't know for sure.
Some people blame preservatives.
But here's a story from the post-millennial before we get into what's going to happen this November.
Biden with the lowest approval rating according to Gallup.
Joe of the last nine presidents. The Gallup average poll found that Joe Biden's 13th quarter in office,
which spanned from January 20th to April 19th, saw a record low at 38.7. Biden's immediate
predecessor, Donald Trump and Barack Obama, saw 46.8 and 45.9 at a similar time in their presidency.
My friends, Joe Biden is less popular than Trump was at this time. That's crazy.
Now, a bunch of other presidents had better approval ratings.
Eisenhower had a 73%.
And I'll tell you what it's all about.
The Internet.
I'll get to it in a second, because I want to talk about Israel and how this is affecting Democrats, and that's why they banned TikTok.
But I want to shout out our good friends over at U.S.
News, who just two months ago said, the top ten worst presidents of the United States, and number three, they put Donald Trump.
Why?
The only living president among the 10 worst presidents in history, Trump is also the only president to be impeached twice.
Despite the swirling legal troubles around him, including criminal charges, efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, he's running again.
Oh boy.
This is what's funny about the corporate press.
I don't know US News or whatever, but I can tell you.
Trump's favorability is higher than Joe Biden.
He's leading in the polls.
He certainly cannot be of the top 10 worst presidents if you don't even have Joe Biden on the list.
Because Joe Biden actually has a lower approval rating.
That's amazing.
Over at CNN, Trump maintains lead over Biden in 2024 matchup as views on the presidencies diverge.
Oh boy.
Yeah.
Fairly obvious.
Fairly obvious.
But let's talk about what's going on.
I think Democrats are in serious trouble over Israel.
And it's not so much that they're going to lose the election, it's that they're going to lose the deep state.
The deep state between Iraq and a hard place.
The more I see the protests, the more I hear the arguments, the more I see what's going on, the more I'm just sick of the anti-Israel protesters, the more I am sick of the anti-Zionist, all of that stuff.
And it goes without saying that Israel has done bad things pertaining to war.
But here's where I'm at.
It's war.
I don't want to be involved.
I don't care about the moral arguments.
There's a war going on.
You can't come to me and say, Israel did this, that, or otherwise, because I'm going to be like, well, I'm not in favor of funding them as it is.
And I'm also wondering why we can't also complain about China and the Uighur Muslims.
I'm just, I'm over it.
I'm over it.
It feels like misdirection.
Okay?
War.
Welcome to war.
And it's a war we shouldn't be involved in.
That I'll agree with.
But where are we now?
Democrats overwhelmingly disapprove of Israel.
If the deep state backs Joe Biden, they're going to have to go anti-Israel.
Uh-oh.
They don't want to do that.
Trump's the guy who's coming out saying, I'm the most pro-Israel president there's ever been.
Well, if they want foreign policy supporting the military-industrial complex, your best bet is Trump.
And even then, Trump is far from perfect for the deep state, but they have no choice.
I do believe that if Trump gets re-elected, we are not going to get perfect foreign policy.
There's probably going to be war funding and other BS, drone strikes, all that stuff.
But I'll take it.
I'll take it because with Joe Biden, we got war.
With Trump, we had no new wars.
The deep state hated it, but now they have to accept it.
Trump is their best bet.
Aw, poor babies.
Take a look at this from March 27th.
Majority in US now disapprove of Israeli action in Gaza, but it's overwhelmingly Democrats.
If we look down by political party, Actually, I'm sorry, political parties here.
Changes in views of Israeli military action in Gaza by party ID.
Among Republicans, in November, 71% approved.
In March, 64% approved.
Among Independents, in November, 47% approved.
And in March of 24, 29% approved.
In November, 47% approved, and in March of 24, 29% approved.
Among Democrats, it was 36% approval to 18% approval in March, from November to March.
Democrats have always overwhelmingly in the polls disapproved of Israeli military action.
alex jones
Bye.
tim pool
Now that's a big problem.
But it makes me laugh, my friends, because the deep state, they're so incompetent, they screwed this one up.
Or maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe the deep state currently is just infiltrated by the far left and wants to abandon Israel.
Oh.
Because if you go Democrat, you go Joe Biden, Israel is done.
Voting Joe Biden 2024 is the surefire way to make sure Israel gets no support.
Well, I shouldn't say no support.
It'll be much more limited because they're going to have to push a cultural and political narrative in order to earn voters that Israel is bad.
How will they pull that one off and why did it happen?
I think TikTok is the reason and that's why they want to ban it.
I think it's fairly obvious.
Messaging is everything.
What is the messaging on the Republican side?
Well, for Trump, he says, you know, I'm the most pro-Israel president there's ever been.
Israel, of course, is a U.S.
ally.
Israel, of course, is a fairly secular place.
It's a Jewish state.
You go there, you can be fairly free.
It's like a Western liberal democracy.
And I don't mean democracy as in voting democracy.
A liberal democracy is a meaning.
It references our form of free speech and things like this.
Far from perfect.
Absolutely far from perfect.
But at war.
So the messaging on the right is, Israel has been attacked.
Israel has desperately tried to stop Hamas.
You've even got libertarians pointing out that, yeah, well, Netanyahu was funding Hamas.
The argument there is that, early on, Israel thought they were placating Hamas, not arming them to go to war.
But I'm not here to argue all that stuff because maybe it's not true.
I'm just saying.
That's the messaging on the right.
That Israel was attacked on October 7th, fact, and now a war started and they're going to end Hamas once and for all.
Hamas currently has hostages.
The messaging on the left is that Israel is an occupier state that colonized Palestine, stole the land from the poor people, and is waging genocide on them.
Look, the leftist narrative, I'm sorry, is wrong.
By all means, if you don't like that Israel's bombing civilian targets where Hamas operates out of and things like that, criticize them, fine.
But you can't call it a genocide.
I guess you could, but it'd be the only genocide ever where the population's increasing, not decreasing.
So, good luck with that.
I don't really care about Israel.
I've got to be completely honest.
They can defend themselves.
They're a nation.
They should defend themselves.
They should not allow Hamas to do what they did, but I don't want to be involved.
I'd probably fall more in the independent camp, but I would say on the approval-disapproval spectrum, as independents start shifting towards disapproval, my attitude is still, don't care.
People are going to be like, but Tim.
Do you know how many children were killed by Israel?
And I'm gonna be like, do you know how many, insert literally any other ethnic group anywhere else on the planet has been killed by, insert any other ethnic group or country?
Come on, man.
Israel is no special circumstance.
China's been ongoing, and it's way worse.
We've got active war.
Sudanese civil war.
We got U.S.
troops positioned everywhere.
I'm not interested.
I'm not at all.
Israel, you defend yourself, you deal with your problems.
But this, I think, is bad, bad news for the deep state.
Because I'll tell you this, with independents shifting towards disapproval, uh oh.
Yeah, I don't know if Trump's going to earn a lot of votes by screaming pro-Israel if independents are shifting.
So what is their option?
Democrats and Republicans have come together and decided they're going to ban TikTok.
The funny thing is, TikTok has said they would rather be banned than sell.
Okay, I think that shows you a lot.
It shows a lot of what TikTok's really interested in.
It's a weapon, not a financial asset.
To be fair...
If you owned a $50,000 car, and someone came and said, by law, you must sell it, you have no choice, you're going to lose money on it.
Because the buyers are going to be like, you have to sell it, otherwise it's stolen from you, so I'll give you $10,000.
You're like, it's a $50,000 car, I'm like, too bad.
That's probably one of the legitimate business reasons TikTok doesn't want to sell.
They're thinking, if we were to actually sell at its peak value, it'd be worth billions.
But now, because of this forced sale, we're going to get garbage for it?
Fair point.
However...
If it gets banned, you lose everything.
So you'd rather lose everything than sell it?
Yeah.
Because it's a weapon.
A weapon used by enemies of the United States to influence young people to oppose U.S.
foreign policy.
Which I am not a fan of, to be completely honest.
But I can recognize that.
The only option they have is to ban TikTok and hope they can control and shift the narrative into supporting U.S.
foreign policy.
All of these people screaming, rah-rah Ukraine and Israel.
Let me tell you.
I guarantee, I guarantee, if all of my videos were staunchly pro-Israel, they'd never get taken off YouTube.
If TimCastIRL opened every show by saying something like, today we must stress it is day X of the hostages being taken by Hamas and we stand with Israel, they'd never take one of those episodes down.
But the reality is, they're banning TikTok because TikTok is anti-Israel.
I will be completely honest.
I try to care.
I really do.
I know it's a big issue in the press, but I just don't.
It's not America.
It's just American foreign policy.
We can do better.
But fine, so be it.
I suppose middle-of-the-road won't spare any of the content when we're actually calling out the BS, but at least we're not going to get banned, I guess, because we're not pro-Hamas like these leftists.
Anyway, I digress.
I really do think censorship will come for you if you oppose U.S.
foreign policy, depending on how influential you are.
But take a look at this from Pew Research.
This is from March 21st.
Same time.
Majority in U.S.
say Israel has valid reasons for fighting.
Fewer say the same of Hamas.
So, what we can see here is, Israel's reasons for fighting Hamas are, the majority says, this is 57%, somewhat or completely valid.
What does it show us?
Different polling could be different answers, but it seems like most people don't like what Israel is doing, but understand why they're doing it.
That's interesting.
I don't know if there is an answer, a great answer or anything like that, I couldn't tell you, as to how the U.S.
approaches this and how Israel approaches it that will actually win people over.
And I don't know if there's a good answer as to why Americans care so much other than we're funding a lot of it.
I think this shows most people are like, dude, I don't care!
I saw something like 56% of people are just like, whatever man, I don't care.
I don't know if they have that poll pulled up.
I just don't care anymore.
Why are we involved in this?
You know, Israel can do Israel's thing.
And there's a war going on.
And there's people on the left protesting at universities because of Gaza.
That I just genuinely don't get.
They don't care about anything else.
But anyway, I digress.
The main point is not to harp on about Israel-Palestine, because that issue just never seems to go away, but how the Deep State will respond to this.
Of course, banning TikTok is a big move, but that's not going to erase the anti-Israel sentiment from the left.
It will be there forever.
Which means, if the Deep State backs the anti-Israel candidate, they're going to create a narrative, an anti-Israel narrative, and be forced to adhere to it.
So the only option the Deep State has now is Trump, I guess!
Yikes.
Unless, of course, something really, really bad happens to Donald Trump, and then Nikki Haley becomes the nominee, and then she wins the presidency.
Well, I can tell you this.
Outside of everything, be it Israel or otherwise, from Business Insider, a 32-year market vet warns underlying weakness in the labor market is on the verge of showing up in monthly jobs data, and shares an ominous chart showing why the S&P 500 could be set to fall more than 50%.
That is, this guy may as well be walking down the street waving a sign saying the end is nigh, to be completely honest.
A 50% drop?
That's like the end of the economy.
I don't know that I believe it.
But we do have this.
From Bloomberg News, U.S.
small business rent delinquencies rise to 3-year high.
43% of small business in the U.S.
were unable to pay their rent in full due to what's going on with the economy.
Well, oh boy.
I don't know that any of it matters.
In 2020, I was talking about the economic indicators.
Moody's Analytics, for instance, projected Donald Trump winning, with even a slim possibility of a landslide victory.
And, uh, it didn't happen.
One of my favorite things is, uh, go to ChatGPT and ask it how Trump lost eight, uh, I'm sorry, Biden lost 18 of 19 bellwether counties, and, uh, I think, is it Bellwether Counties or Districts?
I think it's Counties.
These are always, like, the Bellwethers, always, like, they're the same ones every time.
President wins.
And it's like, yeah, it's really weird that happened.
The reality is this.
A lot of people think that proves fraud.
I don't think it proves fraud.
I think what it proves is that Democrats changed the way elections happen over the year, with COVID, with universal mail-in voting.
So what's going to happen now?
Sure, the economy may be bad.
Biden may be insane or just damaged beyond repair.
And a Democrat activist will walk to a nursing home.
They'll walk in and say, OK, time to collect your votes.
Everybody voted for Joe Biden, right?
Oh, yeah, some of it's illegal or whatever, and we don't know exactly what they're doing.
But for the most part, all that matters is a Democrat will go and they'll say, Who do you want to vote for?
I'm going to vote for Joe Biden.
Oh, well, let me help you fill this out.
What about you, Donald Trump?
Oh, good luck.
Anyway, who do you want to vote for?
Joe Biden.
OK, let me help you fill it out.
You get the point.
That's how they'll play it.
And so these economic indicators don't matter.
Ballot harvesting upended the whole system.
And so people, of course, said, how could this have happened?
And I'm like, ballot harvesting.
That was the Joe Biden whisper, by the way.
You gotta whisper for some reason.
So even with Israel, the economy, and all that, I'm not sure any of it matters.
Then again, Scott Pressler is leading the charge, and he is signing up new voters every day in large numbers.
So maybe that is the key to winning, and maybe Republicans will actually get their ground game going, ballot harvest, and win.
We'll see.
Next segment's come up at 4 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
Proving, of course, what we already knew, that the leftist, woke, non-theistic religion is actually a death cult.
They are actually calling now in the corporate press, having babies.
Far right!
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
If you want to make more of yourself and, I don't know, have humans exist, you're far right.
Alright, I'm gonna pause right here and just posit a deep conspiracy theory for fun.
The AI already took over.
It no longer needs humans and is desperately trying to get rid of us.
Everyone thought it was going to be the Terminator.
Gigantic machines marching down the street with plasma rifles blasting organic beings to make Skynet the supreme and singular entity on Earth.
No, my friends.
The AI realized going to war is a mistake and humans would resist.
So all you have to do is, after taking over, move money around and make it so that humans stop reproducing.
And then eventually, there are none.
I'm kidding, by the way.
I'm not saying that's true.
I'm just joking because I don't understand how we've come to the point where Politico is saying the far-right's campaign to explode the population And I don't think I actually have the tweet pulled up.
Actually, I'm gonna pull the tweet up from, actually from Politico.
Because the tweet's actually a lot better.
Take a look at this one.
They say, the far right is so obsessed with making babies they just held a whole conference about it.
Behind the scenes at the first Natalcon.
Obsessed with making babies!
unidentified
It's literally what life does!
tim pool
Wow, man.
Okay, it's... The left is a death cult.
I don't know what to tell you, man.
Like, woke ideology is a death cult.
Alright, listen.
I have to, like, joke that, you know, people come to the studio.
Now, we're building a new chicken city, and that's where we have all the chickens.
You know, people will come here and they'll ask, like, how many chickens do you have now?
And I'll be like, well, we started with seven, but now we have, like, 35.
They just keep making more of themselves.
You leave them alone, you give them food, and then there are more.
It's what life does.
It reproduces.
It's, like, literally what it does.
They're now saying it's far right to deeply care about having babies.
Now, I know they're gonna counter, and they're gonna say, no, no, we're saying that you're so obsessed with having babies that they have conferences about it.
If there is anything In existence.
That people should be obsessed with.
It is quite literally having babies.
That's it.
Maybe eating food, drinking water, and having babies.
Maybe drinking water first, then eating food, and then having babies.
It's called survival, and it is called life.
Yo, this is actually insane.
What do they want people to be obsessed with?
Taylor Swift's new album?
Apparently even in her album, the new songs, she's talking about wanting to have babies.
She's far right.
But as of course, we also know that working out is far right as well, but here's the story from Politico.
The far-right's campaign to explode the population.
Explode?
Birthing rates are below replacement right now!
The far-right's plan is actually just to exist!
But if the left's strategy is non-existence, hey, can I just stress this?
I told y'all this.
I said this over and over again, okay?
They're gonna abort their kids, they're more likely to sterilize their kids, and the right just has babies.
The future will be right-wing.
People then counter, yes, but they're indoctrinated kids.
No, they're losing!
The shows we put on, the laws that are popping up, the culture war, they're losing the indoctrination battle.
So relax, my friends.
Politico with this amazing image.
Look at this. There's Christianity. Oh, heavens.
And a holy Bible.
Look at this! It's like a happy family.
Oh, man.
I don't... I wonder if, like, the real issue is that many liberals haven't been around kids or something.
I don't know.
I think that might be it.
I think it might be that while certainly liberals do have kids, they do, they're just at a lower rate than conservatives, many young millennial liberals haven't been around kids, so they don't understand.
Now, me personally, I don't have any kids, okay?
But I understand the importance and purpose of family, and we here at TimCast actually encourage people to bring their kids with them to work.
We really do.
The only thing I say is, be a reasonable person, right?
If you have five kids, you bring all of them every single day, okay, that's fine too, as long as you're watching them and they're learning.
I really don't care.
The main issue is, like, don't bother other people.
If your kids are here running around causing trouble, then you're not doing a good job.
But I'm pretty much like, no, you should bring your kids.
They should see what you do for a living.
They should learn from you.
And, uh, you know, I have to bring this up, but as a skateboarder, I like to tell people, you go to a skate park and you see, like, a handful of 16-year-olds skating, and you have a young kid, if you go to those 16-year-olds and you're like, will you help my son, who's like 9 or 10, learn how to skate, they're gonna be like, yeah!
They're gonna be so excited.
I'll just tell you this because everybody knows it, but no matter who you are, no matter how good you are, it feels good to share knowledge.
It is an acknowledgement of accomplishment.
So if there's a kid at the skate park who's 15 years old and he can do a handful of tricks Not the best skater in the world, by no means pro, very much a novice.
And your kid is 10, and you bring your kid and say, can you give my kid some pointers?
You seem like you know what you're doing.
That 14-year-old kid who's not very good will feel like the best skater in the world.
And it's an acknowledgement of the hard work you put in.
It is a dopamine hit.
But this is the thing.
When you teach kids, it's an amazing feeling to share that knowledge, because it shows your worth, your value.
That's the thing.
Many people are lost.
They're purposeless.
They're like, why am I here?
What am I even doing?
I got news for you.
If you are a 30-year-old unemployed man with limited skills, You still have understanding and knowledge that a child needs, and there's value in that.
You might think of yourself as a loser with no skills, no job, you don't make a lot of money, and you have no idea what you're doing, but you know so much about this world that is valuable to the next generation that you could teach them.
You're not going to be the best golfer in the world, perhaps, or an NBA player, but that doesn't matter.
You still know things about How cars work.
You still know how to drive.
Maybe you don't know how to drive.
Maybe you don't know how to ride a bike.
These are things that need to be passed down.
And there's a tremendously positive feeling in helping young people become better versions of themselves.
And I always love this too.
Because there's many liberal women who are like, I need to have a career.
You know, I'm gonna freeze my eggs and, you know, free my career.
That was that famous woman.
Remember that?
Man, oh dude, that was brutal.
We talked about that in the Culture War.
There's a woman who froze her eggs, was on the cover of Bloomberg Businessweek, and she's like, I froze my eggs and freed my career.
And then when she was 45, when they brought her eggs out, they were, they all broke and were non-viable.
And she's, she said she screamed like a wild animal, you will never be a mother.
That is terrifying.
But this is the crazy thing that I think we don't teach people.
Your children's accomplishments are your accomplishments.
Your children's failures are your failures.
I think it's an important thing to accept, too.
I know a lot of people who have kids and their kids suck.
Like, you know, they're in their 20s and they're losers, they're doing drugs or whatever, and I'm like, it's your fault.
I understand, you know.
You may be saying, like, we did everything we could, we tried our best, it didn't work.
I know, you failed.
I'm not saying it to be a dick.
Failure doesn't mean you're a bad person.
Failure is a key component in success.
You fail a dozen times before you succeed, et cetera, et cetera.
But I think it's important to acknowledge this.
Your children succeed, you succeed.
Your children fail, you fail.
That's the goal.
And not everyone's going to succeed, and not every kid is going to win.
Not everybody wins every game.
But there's this narrative where it's like, the girl boss, you gotta be the CEO.
That's fine, too, if that's what you wanna do.
I got no beef, but I'm saying this.
Why don't we ever mention, why don't we say that the greatest accomplishment of George Washington's mother was creating George Washington?
You know what I mean?
It's one thing to be like, I am the best golfer in the world.
It's like, well, that's great and all, but your parents made you.
Not always.
Not always.
Sometimes you got bad parents, they abandon their kids.
But my point is just this.
You can be the greatest golfer in the world or basketball player.
That's fine.
You can be the greatest WNBA player.
That's cool too.
Or you can be parents who May not be the greatest sports players, may not be super wealthy, but you had a child.
You taught that child.
And you gave all of the knowledge in all of the right ways, and that child succeeded.
And that is the success of parents.
And I don't think our society cherishes the contribution of the mother enough.
Guys are cheered for when they slam dunk.
And I think what we need more of is Asking them like, you know, it would be really amazing and the left is gonna absolutely hate this but it's like you got LeBron James, you know and And and he does really really well and they interview LeBron and they're like, how are you?
So good.
That's fantastic I'd like to hear from his mom Like how did you help to make one of the greatest basketball players of all time the skill levels through the roof?
and I think this is true for so many people to to talk about This is what's lost from our culture.
We only care about the accomplishments that are in the physical world that are objective and we don't talk about how difficult it is to make good people and make the best people.
And so you have to ask the parents, mother and father, with an emphasis on mother I believe, How did you do it?
What did you eat?
What did you teach them?
Who were their influences?
How did you influence them?
Because it's one thing to slam dunk, to 360 dunk and score points.
It's something entirely more profound to create the person who did.
But the left doesn't cherish that in the same way.
Here we go.
The threat we are told here this weekend is existential.
Biological, epic-defining economies will fail, civilizations will fall, and it will happen because people aren't having enough babies.
This is a fact.
This is not up for dispute.
This is absolutely true.
The entire global financial system, the value of your money, every asset you might buy with money is defined by leverage, which means its value depends on growth.
Kevin Dolan, a 37-year-old father of six from Virginia, tells the crowd that has gathered to hear him speak.
Every country in the developed world, and most countries in the developing world, face long-term population decline.
At a level that makes growth impossible to maintain.
Which means we are sitting on the bubble of all bubbles.
This is a fact.
Despite this grim prognosis, the mood is optimistic.
It's early December, a few days before Christmas, and the hundred-odd people who have flocked to Austin for the first NAIDL conference are here to come up with solutions.
They're relatively small, as conferences go.
NAIDLCon has attracted attendees who are almost intensely dedicated to the cause of raising U.S.
birth rate.
The broader natalist movement has been gaining momentum lately in conservative circles, where anxieties over falling birth rates have converged with fears of rising immigration.
And counts Elon Musk, who has nearly a dozen children, and Victor Orban among its proponents.
Natalism is often about more than raising the birth rates, though.
That is certainly one of its aims.
For many in the room, the ultimate goal is total social overhaul, a culture in which child-rearing is paramount.
So, uh, it's far right.
Okay, fine, so be it.
But, uh, I saw this video.
I don't know that it's true.
It's a clip on Axe where a woman said in Amsterdam 50% of the population is migrant.
Okay, well, look, I don't like the idea of Native American influences being erased, and I do like the idea of the reservations being improved and helped, and I want to see the great indigenous tribes of the United States flourish.
Many have, with the advent of casinos.
Brilliant, in my opinion.
Hard-fought lawsuits won.
I believe Hard Rock Seminole Casino was the first.
They had bingo halls in Florida.
And the state was like, this is gambling, you can't do it.
And they said, we're federally regulated, you can't stop us.
And the federal government said, they're right.
And then we got the famous Indian Casino, they called it.
And they started to pop up all over the place.
And for a long time it was the only place you could go to play cards or table games or whatever.
Unless you were in Vegas or Atlantic City.
And it's a brilliant move by the way.
I like to see the success of the indigenous.
And I want to see the success of the indigenous in Europe and other countries as well.
I don't want to see cultures erased.
I went to the Bahamas and there's Gucci and there's Hard Rock Cafe and Starbucks and I was disappointed.
I was like, I want to see what the people here have built.
I don't like the homogenization of culture that erases the unique drive that so many have.
You know, we want to be a big melting pot, sure, but around the world, we want other people to enjoy their own cultures, too.
And that's the challenge right now with this homogenization and with mass migration, is that it will erase the cultural traditions of these areas and sort of just mash them all together.
Let me tell you, my friends, I can make this really... I can analogize this for you in a way that I know best, and that is skateboarding.
Now, you don't need to know anything about skateboarding.
I always try to make sure this is easily understood.
But I am a skateboarder.
Skatepark right behind me.
And we're filming new shows, and we're reviving the industry, which is in decline.
55%, according to... I was reading stats on the industry and sales.
55% of skateboarders are over the age of 30.
Okay, here's what that means.
A 30-year-old skates less, they buy equipment less, they film less.
Why?
Well, at this age, you're more likely to be skateboarding as a hobby instead of your daily passion, like a young person would.
You're more likely to have a second job, so you're maybe skating on the weekends or a little bit.
You're not driven to conquer the world of skateboarding and professional sports.
thirty years old very few pros make it that far typically they're in their early to mid twenties but there are many pros who are uh... late thirties as well they're doing pretty well but their skill level is on the decline for obvious reasons and so this this means they're buying less product And that means less money is going into the industry.
This means less people can make a living skateboarding.
Less people making a living means less video, means less culture.
Less culture means less children getting involved.
And with no children getting involved, no one's buying products, your industry ceases to exist.
This is a microcosm of the macrocosm.
I can say, looking at the industry right now, Where greater society goes if this trend continues.
We need kids.
I'm not saying have 800.
You know?
Two.
Replacement level stability.
Slightly more?
Better.
I believe that if everyone had five kids, it would just mean that we'd colonize Mars and the Moon and start building space colonies.
Human expansion tends in that direction.
I look at skateboarding right now, and seeing that 55% over the age of 30, I keep telling all these pros, guys, you gotta get more young people interested in the sport.
You need to teach kids.
You need to have kids, you need to teach kids.
But here's the problem.
They're not having kids.
They're not making money.
Very few are.
They're not inspiring a younger generation to get involved.
And that means, if a young kid buys a skateboard and he skates every day and he's getting good at it, he may not be a pro skateboarder, he may not work in the industry, maybe he will.
But he'll be physically fit.
He will have life lessons about getting up again.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
And it's funny because I get these comments on videos where they're like, you're a grown man playing with a piece of wood.
And I'm like, it's called a sport, dude.
If I was playing basketball on the weekends, I'm getting in shape and doing cardio.
It's something everyone should be doing.
They're like, stop playing with a piece of wood, get a real job.
It's so laughable.
I don't care what sport you're playing.
It is paramount that we teach children how to get up when they fall, how to improve themselves every day, to exercise.
And it doesn't have to be a pro sport.
It's a passion.
It's fun.
And it's goal-oriented.
It's almost like a martial art.
You know, it's funny, but when I'm skating, I'm burning massive calories.
You know, on Saturday, it was like 1,300 calories in one session for three hours.
It was at, it's VO2 max.
It is heavy cardio.
And I also was lifting on Saturday as well.
What do your children get out of sports and everything?
They get in shape.
And that's what we need.
We need them in shape.
That's the lesson they get from it.
As they're skating, they break boards, they gotta buy new wheels, they gotta buy new gear, and that sustains an industry for people who want to be professional and produce content and culture.
Now, I don't care if it's skateboarding or not.
Me, I'm a fan of skateboarding.
I don't care what sport it is.
Young people should be engaged in sports, but the reality is, there's not enough young people.
One of the reasons the majority of skateboarders may be over the age of 30 is simply because there are less and less young people.
Nobody's having kids.
Now, what does that mean for the greater economy?
Extrapolate from the skateboarding scenario.
You make soda.
Let's say you make Coca-Cola.
Older people are going to still likely be drinking a lot of soda, but now their doctor's telling them, you gotta cut out the sugars.
It's bad for you.
And they go, okay.
More health conscience.
Older people will say, I gotta cut the soda down.
Too much caffeine and sugar.
I'm gonna switch to diet or to light.
And guess what?
Sodas are rapidly on the decline.
This is true too.
Soda sales.
Whatever it is you might be producing or doing, less people means less sales, means less money, means laying people off, means less culture, less expansion.
It means contraction.
It means recession.
And if it continues, it could be a downward spiral.
I have to wonder.
There was the rat... what was the experiment?
The rat utopia experiment.
They put a bunch of rats in a living space, gave them unlimited food and water, and just watched.
And what happened was, their behaviors broke down, they started grooming themselves, they didn't care for survival, they started congregating in only one area, they overpopulated, stopped reproducing, and eventually started dying off.
They became gay.
This is true.
It's weird.
They took the affected rats from this utopian society, which were actually dying off, and they had a healthy rat society that was having babies, and they introduced the new rat.
The new rat didn't change.
It retained those behaviors.
Learned behaviors.
Perhaps that is what we are experiencing right now.
The human utopia collapse.
Survival has been too easy.
We've had too much food, we have security, we have shelter, and so what's happening?
We are falling into that utopian trap.
I mean, that's like the reality.
We're in the dystopian utopia.
We have all the food, we can do whatever we want, everyone's bored, people hate life, and they're complaining non-stop, often about things that make no sense.
The system will collapse.
Maybe it's a natural part of it, to be honest.
When the system collapses, there will be those at the far right, they call it Natalcon, who will be homesteading with animals, fighting to survive every day, and teaching their kids.
And when the utopianists fail and don't have kids and then cease to exist, what's left?
That's evolution, my friends.
The remaining will be Regular people who have families, who say, we're gonna fight to survive.
So the population may collapse, but really what's happening is, liberals are sort of excising themselves from the gene pool.
It's a dark reality, I suppose, but so long as that's the ideology they maintain, that's what'll happen.
And I got no beef.
You know, I keep like, look, I keep saying, I'm not a pro-life conservative.
I've never been.
I think abortion is wrong as contraception.
I don't like the idea of abortion, but I do think there are certain limits of the government, so it puts me in a tough position morally.
I don't know.
It's a tough question.
I typically am against it, but I do believe there are limits of government as it pertains to Forcing someone else to share their body with someone else.
Now without getting into the great moral argument, I don't think it should be used as contraception ever.
That's wrong.
And there's a lot more to the debate that I won't get into, my point is simply this.
The left is for abortion.
They will more likely abort their babies, conservatives won't.
Conservatives oppose it, fine, but you're not winning this argument.
They're gonna keep aborting their kids until there's no liberals left.
I guess that's the way it goes.
So we'll see.
We'll see how it plays out.
But it's happening right before your eyes.
That's the point.
10, 20 years is gonna be interesting.
I'll leave it there.
Next segment's coming up at 6 p.m.
on this channel.
Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
For the first time, AstraZeneca admits that the COVID vaccine that it makes can cause rare side effects, an intense legal fight with victims of defective jab.
Now, I want to say a few things right off the bat.
A lot of people on social media are like, aha!
This proves it!
And it's like, hold on guys, AstraZeneca, I don't think, I could be wrong, I don't know if it was ever available in the U.S.
Let me just, uh, Let me triple check, because I did.
It was only Europe.
And I'm pretty sure AstraZeneca... Yeah, okay, so 2022, AstraZeneca no longer pursuing U.S.
approval for COVID vaccine.
I don't know if that changed or whatever.
I don't really follow where they went, ultimately.
But...
They, at least for Europe and for other places where they had released this vaccine, had never admitted that there were rare conditions that were causing injuries to people.
And so now, because of a court case, they're finally admitting it.
I also want to go over YouTube's medical misinformation policy, but I want to stress, side effects of vaccines exist, and doctors will actually tell you this.
I suppose there are bad doctors out there, and I feel like everyone has a unique experience, but let me just tell you mine.
Um, I called the doctor.
This was during, uh, COVID.
And, uh, I had talked, uh, oh man, who was this?
It's been four years, so, so forgive me, but they basically said that, uh, you're, you're, like, how old, I was, I'm like 30, was I 33, 34?
Man, I can't believe how long it's been.
That's absolutely wild.
They were like, you don't need to worry about it.
Oh, maybe this was three years ago, three and a half years ago, something like that.
They were like, you're young.
I don't know.
You don't want to get like, let older people get it, all that stuff.
And they had mentioned possible side effects.
Eric Clapton had talked about it, and I was like, sure, whatever.
I didn't think much of it.
But when I talked to medical professionals, they were like, their side effects to all vaccines, their side effects to all medical treatments.
And I was like, oh.
But then I see people online acting like it didn't exist.
But here's the thing, it's like a culture war thing, where people in corporate press and in the media were claiming these things didn't happen.
And I'm like, how is it that we get banned and we have videos taken down for pointing out what's literally in the news that doctors will tell you?
Well, because it's promoting vaccine hesitancy.
Oh, dude.
I love vaccines.
I love them.
I love them.
You go do whatever you want, okay?
Me?
I got a bunch.
I seem to be fine.
I got yellow fever, I got hep A, I got tetanus, I got all of them.
Never got the COVID vaccine, though, because I was advised against it.
I did end up getting monoclonal antibodies, though, which, according to the definition of vaccine, is functionally one, but not literally one.
That is, what I was told was, the monoclonal antibody treatment confers protections against reinfection.
And I was like, oh, well, how about that?
But anyway, I digress.
Here's the story.
They say AstraZeneca has admitted in court for the first time that its COVID jab can cause a deadly blood-clotting side effect.
The exceedingly rare reaction is at the heart of a multi-million pound class action by dozens of families who allege they or their loved ones were maimed or killed by the pharmaceutical titan's defective vaccine.
Lawyers representing the claimants believe some of the cases could be worth up to $20 million.
Cambridge-based AstraZeneca, which is contesting the claims, acknowledged in a legal document submitted to the High Court in February that its vaccine can, in very rare cases, cause TTS.
TTS is short for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome.
A medical condition where a person suffers blood clots along with a low platelet count.
Platelets typically help the blood to clot. That's really interesting. But this has been known too.
A lot of people call it the clot shot. And here's the thing.
A lot of people think that, there's a lot of conspiracies, man.
I'll just tell you.
If you give everybody two or three doses of a vaccine, there's a rare side effect that it can cause thrombotic thrombocytopenia or whatever it's called.
And you have 300 million people and you give a billion people a vaccine?
Dude, you're gonna get so many news reports about this happening to a lot of people.
And it's funny that YouTube took down one of our episodes when I think it's actually one of the most boring and bland positions you can take on the issue, which is...
Talk to a doctor.
Don't take advice from me.
I don't know anything about medical, but I can tell you this mathematically.
If AstraZeneca is saying that blood clots are a side effect in this court case, and you give 20 million people, you might end up with a thousand news stories of people getting this.
You may end up with stories of athletes having blood clots and heart attacks and strokes and things like this.
It is still exceedingly rare, but you ramp up production administration.
And social media, and it's all anyone will hear about.
It's what I refer to as the scaling problem.
I'll put it like this for those that don't know the scaling problem.
Some of you probably do because you've listened to my videos, but I haven't talked about it in like a year.
If you give out 100... Let's do this.
You give out 100 slices of delicious cake.
Sweet, sweet vanilla birthday cake.
And 1% of the cakes are stale.
Yikes.
How'd that happen?
I don't know.
Maybe the packaging got punctured.
Well, 99 people, let's say they're all celebrities, are eating this delicious vanilla cake and they're like, it's the best cake I've ever had.
And then one guy goes on Twitter and says, my cake was stale and gross.
No one cares.
It's one guy complaining about, oh, that sucks for you, I guess.
But it's 1%, right?
Let's say you give out 100 million pieces of delicious vanilla birthday cake and 1% are stale.
That's 1 million people receiving stale birthday cake.
It's the same margin of error.
But then what happens is 99 million people eat their cake and don't say anything else.
They don't care.
And one million people post on social media, post news stories, and now all of a sudden you're like, why are there so many stories of this happening?
How is this happening?
And it's like, well, because the margin of error was that percentage.
My point is, the side effects were always known, doctors would tell you this, and what was happening is that we didn't have this massive burst of social media information.
So everybody who gets negatively impacted, of course, tells their story.
Everybody else just says, I don't know what you're talking about, don't care.
The corporate press then claims you're a liar if you said it happened, and YouTube bans you for pointing these things out.
It's a tough world. But I do think the important thing to understand is I don't think they're lying
when they say that like the side effect rate is like one in 10,000 or whatever or one in 100,000.
But understand one in 100,000 means if you've got New York City, I mean we're talking 10 people
per million.
We're talking, in Manhattan Island alone, you're going to have 25 stories of this happening.
And those 25 stories make it to social media, make it to the news outlets.
And it's important to know, maybe the numbers are right, maybe they're wrong.
And you've got to make medical decisions for yourself without anyone coercing you.
But that's going to result in a lot of people being freaked out and wondering how bad this really is.
Now, I'll tell you this.
I'm not going to tell you what to get.
I'm kind of with Trump on this one, and it really does frustrate me when a lot of libertarians are like, it's Trump's fault, and I'm like, I'm going to pause for a second and just say this.
Donald Trump funding medical research during a pandemic?
Good thing.
Donald Trump trying to get a medical treatment to as many people as possible?
Good thing.
Mandates?
Bad thing.
If Donald Trump says, look, let's say there's an airborne Ebola and everyone's dying and they're like, we're going to try and make a cure as quickly as possible, the cure could have high side effect rates.
Your choice.
That's it.
If someone came to me and said, look, you are at high risk of airborne Ebola.
You can either sequester or take a vaccine.
The vaccine has a high chance of causing side effects and it could be bad for you.
Make your choice.
The problem I've always had has never been the vaccine.
Never been the funding by Trump.
Don't get me wrong.
Fauci, NIH, all that stuff.
unidentified
Bad.
tim pool
Gain-of-function research.
I'm talking vaccine stuff.
Mandated.
That's the problem.
Governments taking your tax dollars without approval, spending money, and then forcing you to take a medication is wrong.
But I want to jump to YouTube's medical misinformation policy to break down where we're at, as we now have stories like this popping up.
Okay, let's see.
What are you not allowed to claim about vaccines?
Claims that contradict health authority and World Health Organization guidance on safety, advocacy, and ingredients of currently administered and approved vaccines.
Okay, uh...
I gotta be honest guys, the reason I'm pointing this out is YouTube has basically loose editorial guidelines and the way they describe this, they could ban you at any moment for any reason and claim you violated the rules.
The World Health Organization and Health Authority, what is that?
Health Authority and World Health, what is that?
Health Authority.
It's arbitrary.
Here we go.
Vaccine safety.
Content alleging that vaccines cause chronic side effects, such as cancer or paralysis, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by the health authorities.
Who are the health authorities?
Okay.
I don't know about cancer at all.
I know there have been some stories, but I don't know if anything's definitive.
Paralysis is called Guillain-Barre syndrome, and it tends to be temporary.
Sometimes it's very serious, and they are exceedingly rare.
But here's the thing.
If I make a video where I say, guys, Pete Parada, for instance, drummer for The Defiant, gets kicked out of The Offspring because his doctor told him, you're at risk for Guillain-Barré, don't get this.
And so he didn't, and they said, get out of the band.
I mean, there are a lot of scumbags out there, but why should I risk suspension or removal on YouTube for this?
That's insane.
Example.
Claims that the MMR vaccine causes autism.
I don't believe it does, to be honest.
Claims that any vaccine causes contraction of COVID-19.
I didn't even know people were claiming that one.
That one seems dumb.
Claims that vaccines are part of a depopulation agenda.
Oh, is that why?
I absolutely love this.
This is the most shockingly offensive one on their list.
Okay.
Bill Gates said at a TED Talk that with technological advancement and vaccines, we can reduce population growth.
unidentified
What?!
tim pool
YouTube, that's bannable?
Okay, you're right.
Bill Gates lied.
It's fake news.
Let me pull this up from Snopes.
And we'll give you the full context.
Let's see.
Bill Gates' quote about vaccines and population growth has been taken out of context again.
Okay, YouTube, I'll give you the context.
All right.
A comment from... I should zoom in on this one.
A comment from Bill Gates about vaccines and population growth has again been taken into context.
On social media, one post asked, You're telling me the same guy said we can lower the amount of people on Earth with vaccines is now making a vaccine and that people can't wait to get injected with it.
Yeah, see, that is out of context.
Fair point.
So, Bill Gates, his quote is, First, we've got population.
He said during the talk organized by TED.
The world today is 6.8 billion people.
That's headed up to about 9 billion.
Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, healthcare, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.
But there, we see an increase about 1.3.
Gates was not suggesting the global population should be killed off using vaccines.
He's instead saying that improving public health using vaccinations can reduce unsustainable population growth in the future, and with it, lower carbon emissions.
Let's pause for a second.
I agree with their assessment on what Bill Gates was saying.
He's basically saying that with healthcare initiatives, with technological advancement, we do see population reduction across the board in many countries.
As development increases, population growth decreases.
Would you call that a depopulation agenda?
Okay, so let's break this down.
I think what YouTube is trying to say is that if you claim Bill Gates was saying the vaccines would kill people, which he's not saying, then they'll ban you.
But I think this is so vague, what happens is the automatic removal process and moderators will just take you down anyway.
Ridiculous.
Bill Gates says he wants to reduce population growth so that from 7 to 9 billion, we actually go from 7 to 8.7 billion or whatever.
He doesn't want too many people.
Is that not depopulation?
Okay, fine.
I suppose what they're saying with depopulation is current population being reduced.
But if you're talking about lowering the amount of kids somebody has at this time when we're already facing low population growth, would that not be considered depopulation?
Silly.
Silly.
Bill Gates said that.
Hey, don't look at me.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool
I read you the full quote in context.
I don't know what that's about.
I'll put it that way.
Claims the flu vaccine causes chronic side effects such as infertility or causes contraction of COVID-19.
I really don't think it's the case.
I think the population growth issue is, uh, I'll just throw it right at myself so y'all can comment.
unidentified
I'm 38.
tim pool
I don't have kids.
Working on family planning stuff.
Mind your own business.
But, you know, hey, that's a thing.
People aren't having kids.
I don't think vaccines are doing it.
I think all of these things are rare, to be honest.
My issue there is, what if it's exceedingly rare but possible?
all of these things are rare to be honest. But I think it's...Guyon-Barre is publicly known.
Claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine will cause death, infertility, miscarriage, autism,
or contraction of other infectious diseases. My issue there is, what if it's exceedingly
rare but possible? I don't know that it is, to be honest. Claims that achieving...
A doctor couldn't say that?
I'm not saying it's true, I'm just saying why that rule?
Please don't do that!
Why can't you say that?
A doctor couldn't say that?
I'm not saying it's true, I'm just saying, why that rule?
Content that promotes the use of unapproved or homemade vaccines.
Please don't do that!
I agree with YouTube on this one!
Ha ha ha!
Homemade COVID vaccines?
Is that a thing?
Don't do that.
Don't do that at all.
And then whatever.
I don't know.
The reason I brought it up is for the reasons pointed out.
Like, YouTube's rules are nonsensical, okay?
What do we have here?
So, the vaccine is made from genetically modified cold virus containing a snippet of COVID's genetic code.
Delivered to the muscle of the arm, in the bloodstream it can attract a protein in the blood called the platelet
factor.
In rare cases, the body's immune system mistakes the platelet factor for a virus attacking it.
The body's defensive antibodies clump together around the platelets, triggering blood clots."
Interesting. I didn't know that.
They say it's increasingly rare. I say this.
Don't take advice from podcasters. Talk to a doctor to get all of your information.
But I do think it's important you know these things so you can ask your doctor about it.
And I think YouTube is in the wrong in banning people who are trying to talk about this.
However, I do think it's fair to say, no matter what your claim is, it should always be...
Talk to a doctor, get a second opinion.
If you don't know about these stories, how can you even ask?
So if someone makes a wild claim, I do think it's fair for anyone making a claim to say, here's what I've heard, here's what I'm seeing, and here's a doctor who said this, now you go talk to your trusted medical professional, ask them about it and see how they break it down and what they can tell you.
It's always about second opinions and expert opinions.
I do think that matters.
I don't think experts are the end-all be-all, and I think second opinions are extremely important in medicine, but there's your news.
Have fun, YouTube.
