		You don't want to miss it.
		Now, let's get into the news.
		Yesterday, it was reported that Russian troops are advancing on Kharkiv in Ukraine and they're having tremendous success.
		You may be asking yourself, Tim, why should I care about Ukraine or whether Russia advances at all?
		Because it all comes back to the destruction of this country, the melting down of this nation, and the true motivations of the people in office.
		And it starts with a simple story from January, with an update from a story yesterday.
		NPR reported in January, Ukraine says corrupt officials stole $40 million meant to buy arms for the war.
		Now, let me connect all the dots for you.
		The Guardian reported yesterday, Russians having tactical success in advance on Kharkiv, Ukraine.
		Ukraine says.
		And then this viral story from Pravda.ua, a Ukrainian news outlet.
		Where are the fortifications?
		Kharkiv OVA paid millions to fictitious companies.
		And there it is.
		Now, where does it all come full circle?
		Mike Johnson today will be heading down to New York.
		This is just so amazing, really, how everything is just so connected.
		He'll be heading to New York to support Donald Trump during his criminal trial.
		And many people on Twitter, Trump supporters, are saying, too little too late.
		You sold us out, Mike Johnson.
		Showing up to support Trump is meaningless.
		That's right.
		Mike Johnson supported the Ukraine funding bill, sending all of this money overseas, where it is being wasted, stolen, and here's the best part.
		According to this report, there are supposed to be military fortifications that the U.S.
		paid for.
		They're not there.
		And so the Russians are walking right in.
		Why?
		Because as we've known for some time, Ukraine is possibly one of the most corrupt countries on the planet.
		And when you dangle millions, tens of millions, forty million, in front of corrupt officials, they think, you take that money, you spend it.
		Russia comes in, you die.
		What do you do?
		You put the money in your pocket and you GTFO.
		You find a way to move that money around.
		Absolve yourself of any responsibility and say, we paid the companies!
		The company defrauded us!
		And that's it.
		This is what we are spending our money on.
		This is what Speaker Johnson wants us to be focused on.
		And when you look at the big picture, we have this from the Hill.
		NATO risks World War III in Ukraine while lining the defense industry's pockets.
		I saw this, and it seemed like I had been pulled out of the news cycle, lifted above it, floating there, looking at all of the stories, and it seems like I could see a clear picture.
		It's as I've felt already, to be completely honest.
		Powerful interests feel that the U.S.
		has struck the iceberg already, and they are ripping as much as they can out of the system.
		Risking World War III to fund the military-industrial complex, big corporations that want to turn a profit while making bombs, and tanks, and otherwise.
		Our funding, our tax dollars, being sent to Ukraine while they steal it, shove it in their pockets, and run, and Russia advances.
		Why is Mike Johnson on the side of that?
		I suppose it's because the machine wants to extract.
		That's it.
		We have an extraction economy.
		We have an extraction form of government.
		The value and resources of this nation are not being put into making it better, to securing the lives of our children, our friends, our families.
		It's being stripped from the economy to hoard away in some emergency, I mean this figuratively, bunker.
		This story's fascinating.
		individuals who get access to it say, every man for themselves.
		This story is fascinating.
		And then, of course, we'll talk about World War III.
		hundreds of millions of hrivnas could probably be stolen during the construction of fortifications
		in the Kharkiv region, where the RSNA is now actively advancing multimillion-dollar contracts
		for the construction of fortifications, for which a total of 7 billion hrivnas were spent
		there were transferred by Kharkiv OVA to front companies of avatars.
		You know what we can do?
	How about we do this?
unidentified		So, I hope you enjoyed this video.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Seven billion hryvnia.
		Hryvnia, of course, is the Ukrainian currency.
		So let's type in... I'm just gonna pull up the old math here.
		Seven billion... How do you spell hryvnia?
		Harivnya, is that how you spell it? H-R-Y-V-N-I-A-S to U-S-D.
		And here you go, ladies and gentlemen.
		176,517,538.
		176,517,530 United States dollars, fresh from your pocket, into the hands of corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and companies that don't exist.
		They are taking the money from your pocket, from your children.
		I'm telling you, this is why I feel What we are dealing with right now in this country, we have hit the iceberg, the Titanic, the hull is ruptured, and the people who are in charge of the ship saw it and said, if we tell people what's going on, there will be panic.
		Go and collect your belongings, get as much as you can, and make your way to the lifeboat.
		Don't tell anyone.
		Sooner or later.
		Sooner or later, people are going to notice.
		And this is where we're at.
		They go into great detail.
		They say all of these companies are making millions immediately within a few months of signing up.
		Classic.
		It so happened the Department of the Carcare of OVA for Defense Procurement chose newly registered no-name firms and private enterprises.
		Interesting.
		Really interesting.
		Moreover, the owner of these firms do not resemble successful businessmen and businesswomen.
		They have dozens of court cases from whiskey theft to domestic violence against a husband and mother.
		Some of them are deprived of parental rights and have had enforcement proceedings for bank loans.
		Another interesting detail, it seems that these beneficiaries do not even know that they are millionaires.
		After all, they continue to work in shifts in the fields and factories.
		Perhaps these are fake names.
		Once again, or Patsy's, in OVA, Direct contracts for wood for fortifications are concluded with companies whose owners do not even know they are making millions.
		This is how military information is classified.
		This is a fascinating thing.
		The Department for Defense chose newly registered no-name firms.
		Sounds like the Department, which is taking our money, knew what they were doing when they were stealing it.
		Well, NPR has got the news from January.
		Employees from a Ukrainian arms firm conspired with defense military officials to embezzle almost $40 million a year marked to buy 100,000 mortar shells for the war with Russia.
		Ukraine's security service reported.
		And here we go.
unidentified		This is what we deal with.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Man, it's absolutely wild.
		I wonder why it is we are facing World War III.
		And you know what?
		Maybe we're not.
		Maybe we're not.
		Maybe what we are truly facing is the collapse of the United States.
		Because as the U.S.
		dumps money into Ukraine, incapable, unable to stop Russia, the money is evaporating, being stolen by corrupt oligarchs and Russia advances.
		The Hill.
		NATO risks World War III in Ukraine while lining the defense industry's pockets.
		This is written by Douglas MacKinnon, who says, First, the truly alarming news next to no one seems to care
		about. Day by day, the war in Ukraine is tipping ever closer to triggering a
		nuclear strike.
		Earlier this week, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
		once again waved the warning flag on this pending cataclysm posting.
		The situation in Ukraine is on the brink of a calamitous escalation.
		Do the military imperialists in Washington and their lackeys in Europe have any idea the danger they are courting?
		They are conducting foreign policy as if it were a game of chicken.
		Kennedy is nightmarishly correct.
		It is a point I have stressed several times on this site.
		Be it in the actions of the Biden administration, the United Kingdom, France, or others, some in the West seem intent in daring Vladimir Putin and the Russians to do the unthinkable.
		Why?
		Leaving aside the ever-malleable arguments that we have to stand as one against Putin, we have to save the people of Ukraine, or we have to protect NATO, there are also other forces at work here.
		First among them, money.
		Before we get there, for those trying to save the people and infrastructure of Ukraine, I am truly sad to report that you have failed.
		While most of the media seem averse to reporting certain facts in the country, this much is true.
		Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children have been killed or wounded.
		Much of the infrastructure of the country has been reduced to rubble, and over 6 million Ukrainians have fled their nation.
		Those encouraging Ukraine to fight to its last citizen from the comfort and safety of their offices thousands of miles from the battlefield need to come up with a more convincing rationale.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Now back to the money.
		Toward the end of April, President Biden signed yet another aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
		This one to the tune of $95 billion.
		But as they used to say in the late-night commercials, wait, there's more.
		As reported last month, Ukraine and U.S.
		work on a long-term security agreement.
		How long is long-term?
		According to venture capitalist and podcast host David Sachs, as well as others, long-term would equal approximately 10 years and cost upwards of $1 trillion.
		Clearly, for a number of defense contractors in our nation and Europe, Ukraine has become the gift that keeps on giving.
		But when does a never-ending supply of taxpayer money begin to resemble fraud, waste, and abuse?
		Some would certainly say now.
		As hundreds of millions of dollars have already disappeared down various rat holes in Ukraine with no accountability.
		And we all know it!
		Everybody knows it.
		Remarkable.
		I saw this story from the mirror.
		Russia hoping to get their man in the White House to undermine NATO in case of World War III.
		The system for which we live, my friends, has proven a failure.
		I'm sorry, that's just the reality.
		And I can be as brutal and as blunt.
		The Founding Fathers' vision has failed.
		Christianity has failed.
		And I don't mean that to be disrespectful to either the Founding Fathers and the fabric of this nation, or to Christian leaders.
		But I mean it, and as such, this is a nation that was founded on Christian values, really was, whether secular people want to admit it or not.
		You can trace the history of the Bill of Rights and where these morals came from, and it was biblical teachings.
		It denied all you'd like.
		And you have Christianity within it.
		So what do I mean when I say they failed?
		The Founding Fathers had tremendous and brilliant vision for this country and for the branches of government.
		And unfortunately, the country was subverted.
		Where we stand today, as people often joke, the Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves.
		In fact, as the joke goes, they would be spitting in their graves so quickly you could generate free energy from the shock that they would experience had they known what was going on.
		Hook a little generator up to their spin and you got an electric current.
		As for Christianity, this is a nation that was predominantly majority, overwhelmingly majority Christian, and look what it has become.
		The question is why?
		Because the values of this nation They're compassionate.
		They protect the weak.
		The values of the Christian?
		Much the same.
		So what has that done?
		It's opened the door for corruption to seep in and burn it all to the ground.
		Now, I'm not saying there's a better system.
		No, I actually think this is still the best system in the world.
		It just means that no system can last forever.
		No one can live forever, and no government can last forever.
		There's always going to be tremendous upheaval.
		You look at the Soviet Union, it lasted 69 years.
		That sucks!
		That means there was someone who was like, there's a 10-year-old kid, when the Soviet Union forms and the revolution happens, the Bolsheviks, he's 10, and then by the time he's turning 80, he watches it all collapse and is like, could see it all.
		And as for the U.S., it's been a couple hundred years.
		Just, I mean, we're nearing 300.
		I mean, we're almost at 300.
		Almost halfway.
		Well, more than halfway to 300, but I mean, you know, 250-something years.
		And, uh, man.
		It's sad to see what this country has turned into.
		And I wonder if the reality is, with a story like this, the reason why I bring it up is that there's a way to actually push it back.
		I don't know that Donald Trump is the guy who's going to reignite the flames of passion in this nation to bring this country back to its former glory.
		But I can tell you the reason why they run stories like this.
		The military-industrial complex, the massive corporations and lobbying firms that make money off Ukraine, despite the fact that the corrupt are stealing it, despite the fact that Ukraine is losing, don't want to lose their cash cow.
		So they are watching.
		As this country pours money into a dumpster, a dumpster fire, and they don't care.
		They really don't.
		Because as I already explained, they're thinking, the ship is sinking, every man for themselves, I will take what I can get.
	It didn't have to be this way.
	It doesn't have to be this way.
	We have this story, this was the big news this morning, that Mike Johnson is expected to join Trump at the New York criminal trial.
	Johnson, of course, was down at Mar-a-Lago meeting with Donald Trump.
	They seemed to be working together.
	And, you know, that's why I don't have a lot of confidence that we're heading in a positive direction.
	Mike Johnson wanted to fund Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan.
	Donald Trump is working alongside him.
	Even if Trump gets elected, what's the guarantee that this system writes its course?
	Now, many people are saying too little too late to Mike Johnson.
	Who cares?
	You are dumping money into this war.
	So, why should we care that you're there to support Trump?
	Well, it's funny that all these pieces are lining up.
	And it kind of reminds me of that scene for V for Vendetta.
	I mean, I could have just done a morning segment like, Mike Johnson will be at the Trump trial and here's where we're currently at and all that stuff.
	But I was seeing the puzzle pieces fall into place.
	Business Insider.
	Meet the group preparing for a Soviet Union-type collapse of the U.S.
	economy.
	It's from yesterday.
	All this news lining up, and it kind of feels like you can see the bigger picture.
	In V for Vendetta, you have the Inspector.
	Who near the end of the movie starts to piece things together.
	And he says, I could feel I felt like I could see it all happening.
	And they explain the conspiracy seizure of power, the insider trading, the experiments, the murder, and then the totalitarian regime.
	And it kind of feels that way as I'm reading these news stories this morning.
	Mike Johnson pushes funding for Ukraine.
	Ukrainian corrupt officials have been stealing that money outright.
	Trump says he wants to put an end to it.
	And you now get these media outlets saying Trump is Putin's guy.
	And I'm just sitting there thinking, the end of all of this is the collapse of the U.S., not just economy, but system in general.
	I don't think collapse means.
	You know, when I talk about the worst case scenario, I don't think it means that one day you wake up and you are living in a wood shack, pooping in a bucket, and you have no food.
	It just means it will become brutal.
	More brutal than people can understand or tolerate.
	And I mean more brutal than the Great Depression.
	But it doesn't mean the U.S.
	ceases to exist.
	There will still be in the hearts of minds of the people this country.
	There will still be efforts to win elections.
	And somebody will.
	And maybe they'll start to fix things.
	Business Insider.
	Welcome back!
	Take extra care to pick out the right outfit today because it could affect your mood.
	It's called dopamine dressing and it's all about feeling better by wearing your favorite styles.
	Thank you for that bright and peachy Little introduction as we go into the U.S.
	economy collapsing in a Soviet style.
	You know what that means.
	Should that happen, the states break apart and there's a national divorce.
	A Soviet-style fracturing.
	What, New England remains, the United States and the rest of the country breaks apart?
unidentified		That's what the Soviet Union was.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Then, with no government ties, there's going to be military bases, there's going to be factories, Here's what's really fascinating.
		If this country were to fall apart the way the Soviets did, there will be, say, a factory in, I don't know, Arizona.
		And they're going to say, there's going to be a boss.
		He's going to go, I have no idea what we're supposed to do.
		Corporate headquarters is D.C.
		They start answering their phones.
		A guy's gonna walk in with guns, and a couple guys, and they're gonna say, who's in charge?
		And the guy's gonna come down and go, uh, me, I run the warehouse.
		And they say, and who's your boss?
		And he goes, well, my boss is so-and-so, but he's back in D.C.
		and they're not answering their phones.
		The guy with the gun says, alright, what do you need to keep this place up and running?
		And the guy's gonna say, well, we bring in a bunch of, you know, cotton and linens, and we make these products.
		And the guy with the gun says, okay, Here's my phone number.
		You call me now.
		I'm going to make sure you get everything you need.
		Everybody gets paid and nothing stops.
		And they go, OK.
		That's how it happened in the Soviet Union.
		When Ukraine was ripped apart from the Soviet Union, the oligarchs showed up at these factories that had been run by the government.
		And these people are like, who do I report to?
		The Soviet Union is gone.
		And some guys with guns just said, don't worry about it.
		You're gonna get your paycheck.
		You're all gonna get food.
		Not paycheck, but we're gonna get you food, supplies.
		Keep running the factory.
		We're gonna make sure things stay up and running.
		And I gotta be honest.
		It sounds bad, doesn't it?
		But it actually is kind of noble.
		It actually is.
		The people working these factories don't know nothing about nothing, government-wise.
		All they know is, if we want the factory to run, our guys need to eat, and we need the materials coming into the factory to make sure it works.
		Maybe it's a power plant.
		Oligarchs show up, before they're oligarchs, and they say, look, let us deal with making sure this thing runs, and getting you the supplies you need, and your lives will not change.
		In fact, if anything, we can make them better.
		Imagine if they didn't show up.
		The factory just shut down, everyone left, and then there was no power, or no clothing, or no food, or whatever it is they're making.
		The oligarchs end up becoming massively wealthy because of this.
		So let's say you have a factory.
		Something happens where the U.S.
		economy collapses.
		It breaks apart, Soviet style.
		The boss says, guys, there's no more paychecks coming in.
		I don't know what to tell you.
		Go home, I guess.
		These people are going to be like, what do I do?
		I need food.
		Someone shows up and says, no, no, no, don't stop.
		We're going to make sure the money comes in.
		We're going to find new paths for how to get this product out there and make sure you guys don't go hungry.
		You answer to me now.
		This is my factory.
		And they go, okay.
		And those people keep their jobs.
		Preparing for the worst.
		They say in the subreddit Economic Collapse, users are preparing for a Soviet Union type fall of the U.S.
		economy.
		The movement is gaining popularity with the subreddit's membership growing 80% from the end of 2021 to 2023.
		Even passing interest in the potential downfall of the economy is on the rise.
		Searches for stock market crash and economic crash rose 17% and 15% respectively, according to data obtained by The Reporter.
		There's an element of alarmism here, but the general pessimism mirrors how many Americans feel about the economy.
		The middle class believes the life they aspire to is no longer possible.
	Further down the economic totem pole, Alice's, asset-limited, income-constrained, and employed, wow, are struggling to make ends meet.
	Even those entering retirement aren't financially prepared.
	You want to know where the whole system explodes?
	It's in 10 years.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it's remarkable that we just put billions upon billions, hundreds of billions into Ukraine.
		And Social Security is insolvent.
		You know why they're flooding this country with illegal immigrants?
		It's because of the Social Security system.
		Partly.
		I mean, it's population bust for sure.
		And they're panicked and they're desperate.
		This country might need a hard fall.
		A reset.
		They say that in about 12 years, there will be no money in Social Security.
		Yeah, they always find a way.
		They always find a way.
		Because otherwise, the system implodes.
		But I got bad news for y'all.
		Finding a way to pay Social Security is one thing.
		You can extract more value from the younger generation.
		The only problem?
		There is no younger generation.
		People aren't having kids.
		That means there's going to be more old people than young people.
		And that means that the old people who are unable to work and rely on social security... It ain't gonna work.
		You can't go to an 18-year-old, 20-year-old and say, we're taxing you at 80%.
		It's not just that.
		You think about how much they take from your average 18, 20-year-old.
		How much is coming out of their paycheck and taxes.
		And how much you need to give a person to live.
		Somebody on Social Security needs, what, a couple hundred bucks a week?
		I mean, they need more than that, but they're getting maybe what?
		I don't know.
		Is there a standard Social Security payment?
		Because I thought I knew what it was.
		Let's look it up.
		Standard benefits.
		$943.
		And if you have a spouse, it's $1,415.
		So per month, $943 being given to an eligible individual.
		All right.
		That's amazing.
		That's absolutely amazing.
		$15. So per month, $943 being given to an eligible individual. All right. That's amazing.
		That's absolutely amazing. First of all, I need enough for nothing. Now, if you're in some kind
		of nursing home or otherwise, I mean, some of these people may be getting something.
		But just think about this.
		Let's just call it $250 a week, alright?
		It's not a perfect estimate.
		Yeah, 20-year-olds don't make that much.
		They're probably spending, in Social Security, what, $50?
		So how many young people do you need to support one old person?
		A lot?
		Three or four?
		We're getting to the point where there's going to be more old people than young people.
		Then what happens?
		You can't vote your way out of that?
		These old communists can vote whatever they want, young people will not become slaves to an older generation.
		So I gotta tell you, it is not looking good.
		I don't know.
		It's one of those days, you know, it's one of those days where I'm looking at the, it's rainy, I walk in, dreary outside, I'm reading the news, and I'm thinking, for what?
		Well, what about Mike Johnson?
		What about Trump's trial?
		What is this all about?
		And then you look at the big picture.
		They're trying to stop Trump because Trump will prevent them from extracting money from the system as the ship sinks.
		And in their minds, they may be saying, Trump cannot upright this ship.
		He's only going to make it so that we can't get out of here.
	Maybe.
	The truth is, Trump can turn this ship upright, but not without significant damage.
	It's a scary prospect.
	I don't know what else to add to this.
	Maybe be prepared.
	Focus on how you can survive.
	elites will be screwed over and that's what they are resisting.
	It's a scary prospect.
	I don't know what else to add to this.
	Maybe be prepared.
	Focus on how you can survive.
	Best of luck.
	Better yet, maybe we all just register all of our friends and families to vote.
	We go vote.
	It's election day in several states here in West Virginia, so I hope you all take the time to consider that the U.S.
	oligarchs, the powerful corporate elites, are extracting as much as they can from the system as the ship sinks.
	And your best bet, albeit far from perfect, is Donald Trump.
	No guarantees he actually does anything to save you.
	But I will say, it's your best bet.
	Next segment's coming up at 1pm on this channel.
	Thanks for hanging out and I'll see you all then.
	In a tweet gone viral, but has since been deleted, a climate scientist suggested the
	only way to save this planet from its climate change crisis is a mass pandemic which will
	cull a large portion of the human population.
	This guy has written numerous articles.
	He's written for CNN.
	He's written for UK publications saying, the end is nigh.
	For CNN, he says, if you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified.
	Maybe.
	I mean, look, I think it's fair to say that humans are polluting quite a bit, and it's predominantly coming from Southeast Asia, not so much the United States.
	But it's also true that there's something called the windshield phenomenon, which is quite scary.
	If you've heard of it, for those that haven't heard of it, it's when, man, when I was a kid, we'd go on a road trip, and your windshield of your car would be splattered with bugs, bugs everywhere.
	Now not so much.
	Now you go driving and there's none.
	And they say this is due to the fact that bug populations are collapsing, which is scary because insects are towards the bottom of the food chain.
	And so you've got animals that rely on these insects to eat them and then that basically sustains the ecosystem.
	You know, not completely, but obviously quite a bit.
	The bottom of the food chain is very important because if the bottom breaks down, everything above it starts to fall apart.
	Now that is worrisome.
	I can't say I know exactly what's causing the collapse in bug population, but I'm pretty sure it's probably pesticides and pollution.
	However, I do not believe the solution to the problem of bad technology or bad chemicals, things that have side effects, is to kill a bunch of humans, namely billions.
	I don't know that that solves anything.
	However, it certainly seems that people like this man, many of them are in a similar mindset, but unwilling to admit it.
	And that's what's scary, I guess.
	This guy deleted his tweet, and he said it's not because he was shamed or wrong, it's because people are misinterpreting it.
	I think the reality is, he really does believe the population of the world should be crushed, but he regrets admitting it because of the backlash you get from humans.
	I will say this, before we get into all of this news, and I read to you, about the people who want to, you know, say, I don't know, cull humans.
	We cull lots of species.
	We cull deer.
	I mean, deer is the obvious one.
	Last year, or maybe it was the year before, the deer were famished in the literal sense.
	They were gaunt and sickly.
	There was not enough food.
	There were too many deer.
	There were something like 20 deer sleeping on our property at night.
	It was kind of wild.
	And I don't know what happened if people started culling them or killing them, but there wasn't enough food for the deer to go around, and so they were getting sickly.
	And so the argument from people is you gotta kill off a bunch of them, and then the ones that remain will be happy, and they will know nothing but full bellies.
	I'm not convinced the idea of killing 5 billion people to save 500 million is an appropriate concept, especially when you're dealing with human intelligence, and the solution may just be technological.
	We get away from pesticides, we stop producing these highly polluting chemicals and products and plastics and things like this, and we adapt.
	That's what we do.
	We adapt.
	Humans, with intelligence, can solve these problems.
	Yet there are people who don't care and don't want to accept it, and they say, just kill everybody.
	Let's read from the Gateway Pundit first, and then I'll show you what this guy's really talking about.
unidentified		Sick.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Climate scientists suggest culling the human population with a deadly pandemic.
		Now, I'd be a little softer in how I describe this.
		This guy's not saying he wants to.
		He's saying the only way we avert this crisis is if this happens.
		And I gotta be honest.
		While the Gateway Pundit says he's suggesting that we do it, I wouldn't say their opinion is wrong.
		While the guy didn't literally say that, if you look at his past writings, you can see he's basically saying the end is nigh, and then he goes, if only there was a pandemic!
		I think we get what he's suggesting.
		Here's his tweet.
		Bill McGuire says, if I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate.
		He then links to a news article about the bird flu pandemic, which has an estimated mortality rate of 50 to 60 percent.
		H5N1, they say.
		It's been spreading outside of birds and into mammals, and there was gain-of-function research done some twenty or so years ago.
		An effort was made with gain-of-function research to get bird flu, H5N1, to jump from birds to mammals.
		They succeeded.
		It's a scary prospect.
		The Gateway Pundit writes, One government climate scientist made the mistake of blurting out the real endgame of so many radical environmental activists in a bid to preserve the planet, killing off the human population.
		Now, while certainly an opinion statement, I do believe it's fair to say many radical environmental activists, I don't know how many there are, really do think this is what we have to do.
		Bill Maguire, he's a professor of geophysical and climate hazards at University College of London, authored a tweet Sunday that lamented the fact carbon emissions were not falling nearly as fast as needed, and suggested solving the climate crisis with a deadly pandemic to wipe out swaths of the human population.
		Well, after a righteous backlash from social media users, Maguire deleted his post and whined people took his words out of context, saying, Right, I am deleting the initial tweet now, not because I regret it, but because so many people out there have mistakenly or intentionally taken it the wrong way.
		I don't think so.
		I don't think they did.
		Enough is enough already, he says.
		He then lied and claimed that his initial post was about falling economic activity, despite clearly referencing a pandemic killing off mankind.
		He said, it's about suddenly falling economic activity, not people dying.
		My friend, you literally said, culling of the human population.
		Now, you may you may wonder, well, who is this guy?
		And why does he matter?
		Well, he's a volcanologist, climate scientist, a writer, a broadcaster, activist, socialist, socialist, best selling author of Hot House Earth and Inhabitants Guide.
		Who is he?
		Take a look at this from CNN Opinion.
		This from March 7th of this year.
		Opinion.
		I'm a climate scientist.
		If you knew what I know, you'd be terrified too.
		He writes.
		Are you frightened by climate change?
		Do you worry about what sort of world we are bequeathing to our children and grandchildren?
		In the words of science writer and author of The Uninhabitable Earth, David Wallace-Wells, no matter how well informed you are, you are surely not alarmed enough.
		I'll just pause and say this.
		I am absolutely worried about what our children, figuratively, I don't have kids yet, and our grandchildren, figuratively, the next generation that comes before us, I'm worried about the world we're leaving them behind.
		Because there's socialists, there's communists, there are people that don't work, there are people that don't want to work, and they want to extract from the system.
		The funny thing is, the things I'm worried about overlap with the things this man is worried about.
		Take into consideration the abortion issue, the birth deficit.
		I am not suggesting that is the appropriate solution.
		affect conservatives to the same degree that they affect liberals.
		The overlap here is when this man's talking about a culling, it overwhelmingly will impact
		urban liberals.
		I am not suggesting that is the appropriate solution.
		I'm saying that due to the lack of responsibility, capability, and ability to share information
		with the next generation, I believe these cities are headed for this inevitable circumstance
		of some kind of, I don't know if it'll be a mass die off, as he's suggesting, but a
		collapse which could theoretically see their population struggle and eventually evaporate.
		They're aborting their kids.
		The cities, while they produce a decent amount of things valuable to our culture, don't produce food.
		And they're vectors for disease, as we're seeing now in Chicago with this mass migration invasion.
		Measles!
		If a bird flu pandemic were to happen, conservative folk out in the country, less likely to contract the disease due to being more sparsely populated, less contact with other people, less likely to be negatively impacted by pollution and waste buildup, being out in the beautiful wilderness, Why, here at the TimCast Media Studios, at Free Domestan, we call it, we're surrounded by trees.
		We have multiple water sources.
		It's a fantastic property.
		We are impacted by pollution and these climate issues, same as anybody else, but to a different degree.
		This will absolutely just negatively impact liberals.
		And what I mean by this is, whether there's a mass culling or die-off or anything, I think this man need not worry.
		You know, I think this is devastating and terrifying, but I think the inevitable track is that urban liberals eventually cease to exist.
	I believe that there will be people remaining in the cities, but the population density will rapidly decline.
	Hyper-concentration of pollution, sickness, illness, and a lack of reproduction.
	People who live out in the countryside, conservative folk, much more likely to have kids.
	Even if it still is on average lower than it needs to be, it's a lot higher than people in the city.
	This guy writes, I would put it even more strongly.
	If the fracturing of our once stable climate doesn't terrify you, then you don't fully understand it.
	The reality is that, as far as we know, in the natural course of events, our world has never, in its entire history, heated up as rapidly as it's doing now.
	Nor have greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere ever seen such a precipitous hike.
	Think about that for a moment.
	We're experiencing in our lifetimes a heating episode that is probably unique in the last 4.6 billion years.
	How do we know this?
	We've been tracking climate, weather, for a couple hundred years, but we also sample core.
	We take core samples from ice sheets in various glaciers.
	We can actually look at the atmospheric concentration of particles going way back, estimating by the age of the ice.
	It's actually quite fantastic.
	It's brilliant.
	He says, while those of us working in the climate science field know the true picture and understand the implications for our world, most others do not.
	And this is a problem, a big one.
	After all, we can't act effectively to tackle a crisis if we don't know its full depth and extent.
	What's happening to our world scares the hell out of me.
	But if I shout the brutal, unvarnished truth from the rooftops, will this really galvanize you and others into fighting for the planet and your children's futures?
	Or will it leave you frozen like a rabbit in headlights, convinced that all is lost?
	It is an absolutely critical question.
	With politicians and corporations unable or unwilling to take action rapidly enough to stymie emissions as the science demands.
	As all we as climate scientists are left with is to seek to rouse the public to try and force through via the ballot and consumer choices the enormous changes required to curb global heating.
	And that is, you will live in the pod, you will eat the bugs, and you will be happy.
	Otherwise, the only solution, as Bill says, is unfortunately a mass culling of billions of humans.
	That's amazing, right?
	Killing billions to save millions.
	It's kind of the opposite of the premise of Watchmen, where the bad guy says killing millions to save billions.
	How about that?
	Utilitarianism to its extreme.
	This is a major psychological study published by the scientific journal Lancet Planetary Health in 2021.
	It found that most 16 to 25 year olds in 10 countries across the globe were moderately to extremely worried about climate change, but more than half felt overwhelmed and powerless to act.
	It would seem reasonable to argue on the basis that painting an even worse picture wouldn't help.
	But if this is the case, does it mean we shouldn't provide people with the full facts if they are too scary?
	Surely not.
	In fact, this isn't a matter of scaring or not scaring people, but of informing them.
	As a climate scientist, it is my duty to tell you about what is happening to our world, whether it engenders fear or not.
	A failure to do this would mean that the public is left ignorant of the true extent of the climate emergency, which in turn can only hinder engagement and action.
	He shows this picture on CNN, an iceberg floats past houses on Disco Bay, Greenland during unseasonably warm weather on July 30th, 2019.
	You know, we've heard the narrative over and over and over again, decade after decade after decade, and our powerful global elites are just buying beachfront property.
	So my friend, we don't believe you.
	We don't.
	While there is a concern that science is showing that the planet is heating up, I do believe that it's fair to say we've got a problem with mass pollution, seriously.
	And I blame most of Southeast Asia, that's the majority of where the pollution comes from, it's not the United States.
	Making people here use paper straws, ooh, I cringe, it's like nails on a chalkboard, isn't going to solve the problem of people in Southeast Asia, namely the Pacific Islands, from dumping all of this waste.
	So I don't know what your answer may be.
	Declared an act of war to dump all this waste in our oceans, causing a crisis?
	Causing crises?
	I don't know for sure.
	And while this man is certainly saying the end is nigh, here's another article.
	This is from iNews UK.
	I'm a climate scientist, and I think society will collapse by 2050.
	Here's how I'm preparing.
	Do you believe that he is the only man who thinks humanity should be wiped out?
	And look, I get it, a culling is not wiping out humanity, but you get the point.
	I wonder.
	And I wonder how many people are brave enough to entertain this.
	Brave enough to say, I know there are many conservatives who, uh, it seems to be there's a split.
	I don't know the exact proportions, but I know that there are many conservatives who say all life is precious, liberal or otherwise, and these poor people just need to be shown the light.
	I also know there are conservatives who say the liberals are the problem, and good riddance.
	If they want a culling, then it'll impact them.
	How many people really want to say that?
	I'd be willing to bet that deep down there are many conservatives that when they hear this man say this, they think to themselves, well, you get rid of the cities, which is mostly the urban liberals who are polluting.
	And then we've reduced population and everyone's fine, right?
	Here's my point.
	It doesn't matter what you think.
	It doesn't matter what you feel.
	It matters what's true.
	And what's true is people in these cities are destroying themselves.
	This guy talks about the only solution is going to be a pandemic.
	Sure.
	And the people in the cities will be absolutely destroyed by it.
	And the majority of the conservatives will be okay.
	That's the world he's proposing?
	I think it's important to point this out.
	I oppose exactly what it is he's saying.
	It's nonsensical.
	What we need is efficient application of human passion and power.
	And that means we need a better system for raising children.
	The problem is these psychopaths have corrupted the system.
	And for what end?
	To destroy themselves.
	I'd have to imagine if you were to break down the real world view of these people.
	They see it similarly to you and I. My view is this.
	We have, let's say, a hundred million people.
	Just a hypothetical number.
	If each and every one of them was passionate about a project and a specialty, we'd solve every problem.
	I mean, the decentralized computing power of all of these humans is incredible.
	Yet why does it not happen?
	Because you've got these crackpot leftists in this cult who are telling them insane things like boys and girls can switch back and forth and 2 plus 2 equals 5 and it's nightmarish.
	Why?
	I tell you, my friends, I believe that deep down many of them completely agree.
	My vision of the future is, teach the kids properly, and as they grow up, we have an efficient, functioning, decentralized computing power in the human mind, a tremendous economy, a free market, and people will adapt to the problems.
	When the crisis emerges, the decentralized computing power of the human mind will solve that problem.
	We need no culling.
	It's insane.
	On the other side, you have individuals like this.
	And they believe there should be artificial selection.
	The strong must survive.
	So by all means, entertain and push crackpot insane ideas.
	Let the weak chase them into oblivion.
	And then we will come out ahead.
	It's a scary prospect, I guess.
	One that's not logically wrong, probably just morally evil.
	And I think that's how they see the world.
	The way Alex Jones described it is that these people set bear traps, announce where the bear traps are, and then say, if you're too stupid to avoid them, it's your own fault.
	And that's what I see with all of this.
	People like this guy saying the only solution is a mass culling to make it fast.
	It's sad, really.
	I went to Reddit, and I was researching the subject, and I found this.
	From Change My View one year ago, reducing the human population is the only viable environmental solution.
	Why?
	What happens if we don't?
	Life on this planet will not cease.
	The Earth will continue.
	Something bad just might happen to humans.
	An artificial event, a man-made event, which results in a mass die-off, I suppose?
unidentified		Hmm.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I have to wonder.
		If it really is true that climate change is going to wipe everything out, I give you this.
		Bill McGuire's tweet.
		If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate.
		Okay.
		I give you this.
		If climate change is going to kill off billions of humans, for what reason do you need a pandemic to kill off billions of humans?
		I'm not saying Bill wants a pandemic.
		I think Deep Down he probably does, but that's not necessarily what he's saying.
		If the argument is climate change is going to destroy this planet and kill billions, then for what reason do you need a pandemic to wipe out any amount of people?
		If the end result is the same, people dying.
		If climate change really does kill billions in social and economic collapse, well then shortly after the Earth would heal itself, now wouldn't it?
		It would have the exact same function as a mass pandemic.
		The logic isn't there.
		What they're saying makes absolutely no sense.
		So I wonder.
		What is the real reason they want culling?
		What is the real reason they tell people these things?
		Because the logic is not there.
		Was it AOC and Greta Thunberg saying that we had only a few years before the Earth was irreparably damaged and humanity was screwed?
		Humans aren't going to be wiped out by anything they're describing.
		The planet will get hot.
		Certain areas will run out of water.
		Trees will die.
		Bugs will die off.
		The population will struggle.
		And start to collapse as people die and starve.
		And then after a generation or two, what?
		The earth heals as you've predicted?
		When the population collapses?
		In which case?
		The ebbs and flows of Earth will continue regardless of anything you want to happen.
		So for what reason?
		For what reason would a pandemic make sense?
		The chaos of a pandemic would destroy technology and social order.
		The chaos of a pandemic would not do anything differently.
		It would be a more rapid collapse and breakdown.
		Is that it?
		You want to rip the band-aid off and just see everybody die because climate change is too slow?
		Unless there's another reason.
		And that other reason is control.
		Under a pandemic, they lock you in your home.
		They take away your rights, take away your stuff, and it allows them to control what you do, who you speak with.
		That seems to make more sense, right?
		If climate change was a slow and gradual breakdown, humans would adapt to it.
		And even if people died, we would begin to adapt and build technologies and alleviate these problems.
		Some of these are horrific.
		You've got the, um, I think it was the Black Mirror episode where the bees died off.
		It's called Colony Collapse Disorder.
		And so they replaced bees with artificial drone pollinators and those bees go rogue and start killing people or something like this, I guess.
		I don't know what the, where the logic is, but the sad reality is maybe there really is none.
		Maybe the Titanic has hit the iceberg and these people have just plum lost their minds.
		Or, Humanity is a decentralized grid.
		Complex, decentralized computing power.
		And the best ideas win.
		In which case, this is just another bump in the road for humanity.
		And it's not climate change.
		It is the Malthusian, deranged, climate alarmist.
		I think climate change is real.
		I think there's a lot of causes of it.
		I think humans are polluting too much.
		I think bug populations dying off is scary, and pesticides are probably doing this.
		I think there's perverse incentives all around.
		But I will say this one last time.
	Whether it's climate change killing off billions, as they've described, or a pandemic doing it, the end result is the exact same.
	Billions of humans die.
	When that happens, the emissions will start to drop, right?
	The environment will begin to stabilize, right?
	So then, I suppose your argument is we do nothing.
	I suppose then the argument is they don't have one.
	And that's why people like Barack Obama buy waterfront property.
	Miami Beach is thriving.
	Martha's Vineyard, that's where Obama is.
	He doesn't seem to care that the climate change projections show his property will be underwater in the next ten years.
	Increasingly underwater.
	So maybe there's something else.
	Maybe the reality is it is fear to induce people giving up their control.
	Not sure.
	I suppose only time will tell, but I can certainly say I don't think we're stupid enough.
	Unfortunately, there are many people who follow this guy and live in big cities who are.
	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.
	I'm reminded of that joke from Family Guy where the guy sells tumbleweeds.
	You ever see this one?
	Where he's like, y'all laughed at me!
	And then he's the only one flourishing in a town where the economy has completely collapsed.
	So I see this story from Business Insider, which I covered in an earlier segment, but I wanted to get more detail on as I'm reading the news and realizing, yeah, these people might be right.
	Meet the group preparing for a Soviet Union-type collapse of the U.S.
	economy.
	Perhaps a bit bold.
	But when I was looking through the news, I was actually, I had this story talking about women in the gym again.
	And I'm like, I like these cultural and social things.
	And then I read this story from the Daily Mail.
	Workers fury as thousands lose their jobs after Red Lobster immediately shutters more than 50 outlets across America without warning.
	Holy crap!
	50 stores How many employees?
	Thousands of people just lost their jobs overnight.
	And I'm looking at all of this.
	It's part of this bigger picture I was talking about in the earlier segment, where it feels like the Titanic is sinking.
	Biden is blasted as clueless and out of touch for claiming Americans have the money to spend when told grocery prices are up 30% in rare sit-down interview.
	I'm gonna tell you guys right now.
	I can see the numbers.
	I run a business, and we do a lot of things.
	We have casprew.com.
	Head over to casprew.com if you want to buy our coffee.
	We have ads.
	We have year-over-year metrics on ads, and we can correlate the data from ad sales on YouTube and sponsor spots with viewership and economic trends.
	I'm going to tell you right now, I think things are about to get bad.
	I don't know how bad.
	I'm not saying, well, it may just be that things are bad.
	I don't know how much worse they will get.
	But the thing to understand when it comes to ads on Google is that for YouTubers, generating revenue is not a centralized thing.
	It's not like I make a video and then I say, hey Pepsi, you want to buy ads?
	There are some companies that do dedicated spots.
	You know, when we read on the audio version, we have some dedicated sponsors that re-up every month or whatever.
	This month, we actually brought on sponsors.
	I rarely do this.
	You may have noticed that on this channel, there are... Last month, we did, I think, two.
	This month, there will be, I think, eight.
	So, you know, making 16 videos per week, only 8 of them will have ad spots, and that's to compensate for the decentralized ad system on the decline.
	And that is despite, irrespective of viewership counts, we are actually seeing ad rates go down right now in some areas.
	That's indicative to me of mom-and-pop shops being unable to afford advertising.
	A lot of the ads that YouTube generates are a small business advertising to a local area.
	You know, right now, when I turn on YouTube and we're watching, you know, on TV, a Riley Moore ad will come up.
	Riley, who was just on the show, is running for Congress, and so he's targeting specific areas.
	He's not spending nearly as much as a national-level politician, but it's these local ads that really generate a lot of revenue.
	For my videos, when I put this out and they're viewed all across the country, that means I might make $17 for a local politician in Dubuque, Iowa, because he says, I want to run ads on YouTube.
	YouTube then puts those ads on my videos, which are seen by people in that place.
	And that's all.
	And it's small.
	but it's all across the country.
	This means that most of the money being made, it's decentralized from small businesses
	giving you bits and pieces here and there.
	As these small businesses struggle and start to go under, We don't hear about them in the news.
	When you hear about 50 Red Lobsters closing, that's shocking because it's Red Lobster.
	It's a big chain and thousands of people lost their jobs.
	But do you think it is only Red Lobster that is failing?
	These are massive corporate chains.
	They're able to absorb losses better than mom and pop shops.
	Understand.
	If Red Lobster is shutting down 50 locations, that means mom-and-pop shops, family-owned businesses have been shuttering incomparable numbers, and you don't hear about it in the news.
	The national-level press is not going to report that the Johnson Family Diner went out of business after 40 years.
	Local news might do it, and people will lose their jobs, and it will be shocking.
	But the national level, watching videos like this?
	You don't see those stories.
	When I see this story from Business Insider, meet the group preparing for a Soviet Union-type collapse of the U.S.
	economy.
	My thoughts really are, is this going to be the guys with the tumbleweed saying, y'all laughed at me, but who's laughing now?
	And he jumps in the convertible with the hot woman, and he fans the money, and she's like, that makes you attractive!
	It's a funny joke.
	but the joke uh... the idea really being that everybody's what people are gonna look at these guys
	there on the subreddit economic collapse there's about thirty six thousand people
	who are talking about uh... and and aggregating news on
	this economic crisis that we're looking at potentially erupting and
	they may ridicule them and say i you're crazy The question then is, what is the net negative to being one of these crazy people?
	If you believe the economy is on the verge of collapse, what do you do?
	Do you move out of cities?
	Do you reduce your costs?
	Do you start buying hard assets?
	Do you put your money in places that will create more value in the event of an economic crisis?
	Will you get chickens, perhaps?
	But livestock in general?
	Garden?
	Get land far away?
	Take the opportunity to prepare for something that may get bad?
	Or do you sit around and wait to be a person standing in a bread line?
	I don't have the answers for you.
	If you get out of the cities, and you improve your life, get physically fit, get some animals, have a garden, and start working on yourself, there's no downside.
	If you sit and do nothing, you're in trouble.
	Not everybody can do this.
	Not everybody has this capability.
	They say the movement is gaining popularity, with the subreddit membership growing 80% in the past two years.
	Even passing interest in the potential downfall of the economy is on the rise.
	There's an element of alarmism here, but the general pessimism mirrors how many Americans feel about the economy.
	Let's go to the news about Red Lobster, and we'll talk directly about it.
	Red Lobster staff across the country are up in arms after the seafood restaurant shuttered more than 50 outlets across the nation with no warning.
	The chain has temporarily closed locations in Buffalo, Orlando, Jacksonville, and other cities, and is auctioning off kitchen equipment and furniture.
	The brand is also reportedly eyeing up a possible Chapter 11 filing to restructure its debt.
	But it has also left its workers in a scramble to find employment, with many Red Lobster staff claiming they were laid off with no warning.
	One TikToker posted a stitched video that started with her talking through her day working at Red Lobster on Mother's Day before she complained about being laid off.
	Look, that's crazy, man.
	But jobs aren't guarantees.
	She said in a video posted with the caption, I got another job, but still, damn Red Lobster.
	Why was my last shift, why was that my last shift working here?
	Because they can't make money.
	Because the economy is in a dark place.
	People aren't going out to eat as much.
	It's getting scary, man.
	Joe Biden goes on TV and says, people got money to spend?
	People don't got money to spend.
	This is what I'm talking about.
	I can see it in all of our metrics running this business.
	At a national level, with the amount of money that this company generates, it is plainly visible.
	If you're a small business, and I'll say, I'll reiterate this point, a small business says, you know, our sales are down X percent, people in the local area, so you lower your prices, you try and figure it out, but maybe you can't, maybe it becomes unsustainable.
	What we are looking at, with a national level business, and we are seeing people from California to New York, Florida to Seattle, what we are looking at is all these little bits across the country, and so we see this granular wave When I look at numbers per video, per viewer, CPM and all of that stuff, we can even track the region where we're more likely of the state, where we get most of our views, TimCast.com especially, and we can see it.
	It's got me worried.
	Now there is some net benefit, I suppose.
	I think that when you look at the state of the economy, Trump's gonna win.
	There was a poll I saw where it's like Trump's up 40 points.
	When people are asked who will do a better job on the economy, you see Donald Trump at like 68%.
	And this, this may be it.
	You know, we talk about all the crises that our country faces.
	War, you know, conflict crisis, homelessness, drug abuse, economics.
	And a lot of people think the end is nigh.
	But I wonder.
	I wonder if the issue is actually much simpler than that.
	When it gets bad, people snap to attention and we course correct.
	There's that saying, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make hard times, hard times make strong men.
	There's the micro and the macro of that.
	In the macro, the bigger picture, you have Strauss-Howe generational theory that you've got a generation of people who are beset by crisis on all sides.
	And it makes them resilient.
	The weak struggle and fail to survive.
	The strong survive and they have children.
	That hard time made those men strong.
	Those strong men have families and make good times through hard work.
	But those good times then bring about another generation that are complacent.
	And that complacency leads to hard times again.
	The fourth turning, they call it, every four generations.
	Eighty years in the past, World War II.
	Eighty years before that, Civil War.
	Eighty years before that, the American Revolution.
	Crises.
	But there's also the short end of that.
	From the macro to the micro.
	And that is elections.
	Within generations, you have the same phenomenon.
	Things are good, food is aplenty, bellies are full, so people stop paying attention and crooks get into office.
	And maybe this is also a component of the Strassau Generational Theory as well.
	More and more crooks get into office, resulting in a conflict, resulting in hardship, and then people snap to attention and decide to do something about it.
	I certainly hope so.
	Yahoo Finance says the U.S.
	now has an 85% chance of recession in 2024, the highest probability since the Great Financial Crisis, economist David Rosenberg says.
	Here's what I hope for.
	I think we need Trump, for better or for worse, for all the good, for all the bad, whatever it may be.
	It's the economy, stupid.
	Economics matters.
	Here's what I hope for. 2025.
	New businesses begin to flourish.
	Cash is being spent.
	People are going out to eat with their families.
	The business, with extra cash, then purchases some local ads on Google and says, we're doing well.
	We want to get the word out that our business has a new ribbed dinner.
	Special.
	And they do.
	And that money trickles over to Timcast.
	We then spend that money on employment and expansion, which then goes to people who are doing work.
	Contractors, for instance.
	Those contractors say, wow, we just got a great job, pays really well, we're building out this chicken coop, and so I'm gonna take the family out for dinner!
	Family then goes out for dinner at a local restaurant.
	Local restaurant then says, wow, we're seeing more customers.
	Let's invest in expansion.
	Opens a new restaurant.
	Now they got two locations.
	They say, we're going to need to advertise this new location.
	Spend ads.
	You get the point.
	That's what we want to see with that growth.
	It's not going to happen under Joe Biden.
	All we see now is the real risk of economic crisis staring us right in the face.
	And I don't want that to happen.
	I want to see, you know, a rising tide lifts all ships.
	Meanwhile, Joe Biden is telling people everything's gonna be okay.
	Yet many people believe we could be facing the extreme of a Soviet-style collapse.
	I don't know about all that.
	But I certainly think the data shows, on my end and the back end, as well as in the news, dark days are ahead, unless something happens.
	The only thing I can say is, with the risk to the economy, At the very least, if it happens now, people might vote for Donald Trump, and then maybe he can turn things around.
	But if the economy holds out, you know, Joe Biden's announcing these tariffs, despite ragging on Trump for doing the same thing during his presidency.
	If Biden tries to hold this off just a little bit, and blocks the dam from breaking, enough that he gets re-elected, the dam breaks under his administration, and we're screwed for four years.
	I can't tell you about the answers, sorry.
	That's just not available to me, as I often say.
	What I can say is just what I see, and I hope you take the appropriate responses, start looking into this information.
	Maybe it's all wrong, but no one ever regretted improving themselves and preparing for disaster.
	Look, I'll put it this way, unless somebody like sold off all their belongings and built a bunker and went underground for 30, you know, thinking the bombs are about to drop, I mean like, on average, you don't make dramatic changes to your life.
	You start working out, you start eating right, you move away from the cities, slowly but surely, and you've had several years now to consider how to do it.
	And then, if something happens, you'll be better off.
	And if nothing happens, so what?
	That's what I say about the emergency food stuff that we do sometimes promote.
	Your worst case scenario.
	What could that mean?
	Well, economically, if you buy emergency food and nothing happens, your worst case scenario, you eat food.
	You eat the food anyway.
	The actual worst case scenario, it's funny, is something bad does happen and you have to crack the emergency food open.
	But that's why I always say, like, why not just have emergency food?
	Why not be prepared?
	Because you need food and water anyway, right?
	I'm looking at this news, and I was gonna talk about some gym thing, and now I'm just like, I don't know, maybe I'll talk about it in the next segment, but it got me worried about this economic stuff.
	Because I can hear it, and I can see it.
	It's got me worried.
	Look at this, we got gold up.
	14 bucks.
	Gold going way up.
	We'll see, man.
	I don't know.
	You've got Dow down.
	S&P's down.
	Crude oil's down.
	NASDAQ is doing alright.
	Stock right here.
	Hey, look at this.
	DJT is up 4 points.
unidentified		4%.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		We'll see.
		We'll see.
		Biden's out of it.
		It's the economy, stupid.
		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.
		16.5 million views on X. A woman saying, I'll keep it simple, that she went on a date with a guy.
		He said, come to my place.
		She said, I'm not sleeping with you.
		He said, it's fine.
		And then when he didn't try to assault her, she said, are you gay?
		Not to him, but she was like, now I feel ugly.
		Like what?
		I'll play the video for you.
		But the context here is that this woman is a comedian.
		And Community Notes tried claiming that this is just a joke.
		It's a comedy bit.
		She doesn't really mean she says no, but means yes, does she?
		Oh boy, this one's complicated.
		And this is where a lot of guys are starting to say some wild things.
		And I'll do my best to help you navigate the insanity that is this modern, politically correct dating world.
		Guys, you have no chance.
		You need to go to a church.
		You need to find someone who shares your values.
		I don't know.
		I don't go to church or whatever.
		I'm not in the dating market.
		But let's start by playing this video so you can hear what this woman has to say.
		And then we'll break it down.
unidentified		Okay, I am the problem.
		I went on a date with this guy and he was like, it's getting late.
		Do you want to come back to my place?
		And I was like, sure, but I'm not going to sleep with you.
		Like that's not happening.
		And he was like, that's totally fine.
		Just come over.
		And I was like, cool.
		So I go to his place.
		He respects my wishes.
		He's so nice.
		He cuddles me all night.
		And I'm like, are you f***ing gay?
		Like what?
		And like, I, I just wanted him to try and then for me to be like, no.
		You know what I mean?
		I wasn't going to sleep with him.
		Now I feel ugly.
		This is what...
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So this is the clip, right?
		Richard Hanania, I don't know this guy, who is this guy?
		He's a president, CSPI-centered org, former UT Austin, I don't know.
		He says, this should be mandatory viewing for all boys on the brink of puberty, bookmarking it now for when my children are old enough.
		I don't quite know what he means by that, by like, every kid should watch this or whatever.
		But I certainly think social dynamics are important to understand, and I don't think it matters whether or not you think a woman says no but she means yes.
		But I will tell you this, and I want to trigger all the feminists with this one.
		I remember, it's like 10 years ago, it was like 12, 13 years ago, you have this big feminist movement where they're like, no means no!
		And I was like, that is true.
		No means no.
		But you gotta understand how no is said, right?
		And what I mean by that is if there is a clear indication in any way, you don't need the words no to realize you are imposing yourself or assaulting or outright raping a woman.
		You know what I mean?
		If a woman clearly does not want to be with you and you are forcing yourself on her, you don't need no to know that you shouldn't be doing it.
		And then there's also the nuance of, there are a lot of people in, they do kink or whatever it is, in which case, they will tell you outright, no doesn't actually mean no, banana means no, right?
		So I think there's an important breakdown in this, and I don't think you need just the no, but I will tell you this right now.
		Homie dodged a bullet, and I hope he sees this video and stays away from her.
		Now, they're making the argument that this is a comedy bit, right?
		So she put hashtag comedy joke NYC dating girls relationship.
		This is not a joke.
		Like she's telling a story.
		Perhaps it's an exaggerated story or whatever.
		But this is legit how many women feel.
		Which makes makes dating a minefield when you have the legal problems that we have.
		I don't see a simple way of navigating this.
		I just say good luck bros.
		Imagine this dude Seeing this video, I mean, this is absolutely insane.
		In this modern world, imagine any guy, say a 20-year-old guy watches this, and he's like, for real?
		Oh, this lady just destroyed any legal argument she would ever have in a court proceeding if she actually does get assaulted.
		I mean, this guy's got 6,000 retweets.
		This is wild.
		So imagine this.
		Young guy watches this, and she's like, I just wanted him to try, you know, so I can go, nah, or whatever.
		So now you're gonna get young men required watching for this?
		Don't watch this garbage.
		Man, we need strong men, that's what we need.
		Young guys are gonna watch this, and they're gonna think to themselves, wow, sometimes no means yes.
		This lady just said it.
		She said it outright.
		She said no meant yes.
		Sort of.
		Said he wanted him to try, even though she told him no.
		The reason why videos like this go viral, there's been a bunch of posts.
		I was actually talking to my girlfriend about this earlier, because I was showing her this and she's like rolling her eyes at it, like, these women are vapid and things like that.
		And I'm like, there's a reason why there's no viral video of a guy who's like, I was making a grilled cheese and the guy said he didn't want it, and then, but I really hoping he was gonna buy it.
		You know, or like, I told him he can't have my sandwich.
		Those videos don't go viral because that's not really a thing that anyone cares about.
		There's tons of instances online of women saying things like, I said no, and then he didn't try, is he gay?
		There are many women who actually want and expect that when they resist and say no, that they want the guy to actually make an attempt because it's playing hard to get, I suppose.
		And that's true.
		I would say to all guys, never entertain that.
		I mean, you do you.
		I think it's fair to say, understand social cues.
		You need to know the person you're with, but you are dealing with a minefield, and there's no answer.
		There's no answer.
		All the Red Pill dude bros, not all of them, but a lot of them, they're gonna be like, bro, you gotta understand, sometimes women really do want it.
		Yeah, okay, dude, good luck with that.
		Because if you hook up with this chick, you're gonna go to jail.
		She's gonna say, I wanted him to try.
		Then she's gonna go to her friends and they're gonna be like, you hooked up with that guy?
		I said no.
		You did?
		Yeah, I said no.
		And they're like, oh, okay, so he raped you, and then the guy's gonna go to jail.
	Like, you can't, like, woman says no, you say, have a nice day, lady.
	Okay?
	Like, that's it.
	You said no, we're done.
	The crazy thing is, women like her have outright said they want it.
	There's a funny viral green text post from 4chan, where a woman's like, I was at a mall and I looked at a guy, and he looked at me, and then he walked away.
	So then I looked at another guy, he looked at me, and then he walked away.
	What am I doing wrong?
	And it's like, what do you think is supposed to be happening here?
	I was talking about this with that viral video, 10 hours of walking through New York as a woman.
	Remember that one from 10 years ago?
	10 years ago.
	And you got a guy saying, howdy.
	And it's like, I'm being harassed.
	There's a guy who's like, nice day, ma'am.
	I'm being harassed.
	I love how women are so offended at a guy being like, you should smile.
	Who cares?
	Holy crap, talk about thin skin.
	And I'm saying, most women I run into don't care at all.
	It's so weird to have this like, you know what I think it is?
	Think about the kind of woman that is in these news organizations and is writing.
	The reason why you overwhelmingly get feminist perspectives is because the women who are working at these jobs have a higher rate of being, well, they're literally working women.
	If they're working, they have a lower rate of being, a lower percent probability of being moms, stay-at-home moms.
	So the perspective of conservative, traditional stay-at-home moms is not represented in media and social media, which it should be more.
	But then you get a bunch of stuff like this.
	I'm going to show you these comments, man.
	I just want to tell you this, look.
	First, I think we're better off in a more traditional dating environment.
	These apps, this hookup culture, all of this stuff is really bad.
	It's bad for everybody and it's causing serious social problems.
	But then you have the red pill bros who are like, some women just really want it, like we see in some of these comments.
	Then you have women who are saying, no means no, and you know, everything is sexual assault.
	You mean you got Stormy Daniels now going into court and claiming that, oh, Trump was big and there was a power dynamic there and he was more powerful than me.
	And then you got this woman being like, but I wanted him to try.
	Okay, dudes, you're lucky to stay away from people like this.
	And how do you know there are people like this?
	I don't know, man.
	It is wild.
	It is wild.
	Richard Anania says, you shouldn't be angry at the woman.
	If you're missing the point, reading subtext and understanding human nature are a part
	of socializing correctly.
	Wanting to make everything explicit is the trap that the affirmative consent freaks fall
	into.
	It makes everything sterile.
	I actually agree.
	You know, understanding what people actually like, a lot of adult activities are spontaneous.
	Spontaneous.
	A guy and a chick are like, they're hanging out, and the guy puts his arm around her, and then she moves in, and then he looks at her, she looks at him, and then they kiss.
	It's like, uh-oh, there's no affirmative consent.
	Oh, come on.
	The majority of adult interactions are thoughtless.
	You know, people just hook up.
	But now we're in the Me Too world.
	So I don't know what to tell you, man.
	I ain't got advice for you.
	But I can certainly tell you this.
	If you find a woman and she tells you no, and you're thinking like what the social cues say otherwise, have fun in jail.
	Have fun being kicked out of your college because now they operate under preponderance of evidence.
	Look at the whole Me Too movement.
	What is the answer supposed to be?
	You're gonna tell guys, Richard, that they gotta understand those social cues because you don't want things to be sterile?
	Sure.
	But you're playing with fire, I guess.
	Cause if this chick says no, but she really means yes, like, she's like, I want him to try.
	Let's say that guy, she goes, no, I won't, I won't do it.
	And the guy goes, come on, let's do it anyway.
	She's gonna go, oh my God.
	And he was trying to, and I said, no.
	Because she wants to feel desirable.
	She says, now I feel ugly.
	What do you think she would have done If this dude actually made a move, she'd have gone to all her friends and be like, I told this guy I wouldn't and he was trying so hard.
	Like, wow, what a scumbag.
	Yup, he's either gay or a scumbag.
	I do not see a scenario where this woman doesn't go onto her TikTok.
	You know what would happen?
	He makes her move, she makes the same video, and she goes, okay, so like, I'm telling this guy that, you know, we're on a date, everything's going good.
	He says, come back to my place.
	I say, but I'm not gonna sleep with you.
	And he says, that's fine.
	And then what does he do?
	I get there, and he's all over me.
	Of course.
	Couldn't even trust him.
	That's the video she makes.
	Do you really think she wouldn't have done that?
	Wild.
	So then we got, there was a community note on this saying that she's a comedian and it's just a video, it's a joke!
	Oh, come on.
	Seriously?
	She has stand-up on her Instagram, where she's doing stand-up, sure, but this is just her telling a story.
	I do news and commentary, and sometimes I post utter nonsense.
	People can post whatever they want.
	This guy, Echo Chamber, says, quote, I'm not gonna sleep with you is the surest sign she will sleep with you.
	Yo, that is nuts!
	Richard says, right, she wouldn't even broach the topic otherwise.
unidentified		Wow, dude.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is as close to a yes as you're going to get early on.
		Wow, dude.
		This is terrible advice.
		I think it's fair to say there are circumstances where women will say things like her and then
		turn around and say something else.
		But let me just tell you, there's no game to be played.
		You don't want to be with this woman in the first place.
		I don't know, unless you're like a guy who wants to marry a woman like that, good luck I guess.
		But I don't see how you're going to have a functioning family with a woman like that.
		The idea that guys online are giving advice, that a woman who says, I'm not going to sleep with you, is a sign she will, is the fastest way to get MeToo'd.
		I don't even know what's going on with the MeToo stuff right now, but this is why a lot of dudes are just staying away.
		I would say a woman like this, she's a social addict, right?
		She's got 188,000 followers, she's looking for that dopamine hit of getting the viral clip, and she'll take anything.
		Even when the dude respected her wishes, she insults him and calls him gay.
		You really think a woman like that... Bro, if a woman like that says she's not going to sleep with you and you make a move, you will wake up in jail.
		And she will come out and she's going to be like, I'm a survivor.
		Let me all tell you the story so I can get a bunch of clicks on the internet.
		Please.
		Chicago Patriot says, we can't win.
		You can win.
		You really can.
		And it's called, Staying Away From People Like This.
		Be grateful she made the video.
		But I gotta tell you, we had Fresh and Fit on the show several times, and they were like, this is how women act now, so what are you gonna do?
		And I'm like, move to a small rural community, learn the names of your neighbors, interact with them, help them with chores, maybe volunteer at the local fire department, go to church, meet a nice traditional woman, and do your best to find a good person you can trust.
		You wanna go live in the city and go to the clubs and meet these social addicts?
		I tell you one, I got one.
		First thing you do, don't meet someone on a dating app because the likelihood that they're gonna be addicted to social stuff is higher than normal.
		I'm not saying everyone on dating apps are bad.
		A lot of people meet their significant others and they have a good time.
		But I'll tell you this, you meet a woman and you're out somewhere, and I'll tell you right now, I don't care about the 10 hours of walking through New York as a woman stuff.
		Yo, if you're a young man, okay?
		Get in shape.
		Eat healthy.
		Take care of yourself.
		Dress nice.
		And, uh, you know, go out.
		And here's one for you.
		Let's say you're 20.
		You got your own place, okay?
		It's not great, but you're making ends meet.
		And you're wondering, how do I go about meeting people?
		Really easy one for you.
		So you get a dog.
		I recommend, um, you know, like a nice, friendly, like a Border Collie's pretty good.
		They're very friendly.
		They're very smart, too.
		And they're, they're not very, they're not dangerous at all.
		The Border Collies are good dogs.
		And, uh, I would suggest you take, uh, decisions of your own volition and don't take this literally.
		I'm presenting a hypothetical.
		I've had people ask me, like, I don't know how to meet people.
		I go online.
		All right.
		You're to meet people like this woman who are on Instagram trying to get followers.
		And I don't know that you can trust people like that.
		Not everybody with an Instagram is a bad person.
		Everybody's got an Instagram.
		I'm saying people who are trying to build a following and get views.
		You don't know what they're like.
		If they care more about views than you, you gotta be careful.
		You gotta be careful.
		Not every person with big followings are bad people, but I'll tell you this.
		You walk out on the beach with your dog, and, you know, if you're in a place that doesn't require leash laws, then you walk with your dog, and guess what happens?
	People will say, oh, your dog's beautiful!
	Men will come up to you, and they'll be like, hey, what's up, man?
	Cool dog.
	Border Collie?
	And you'll be like, yeah.
	And they'll be like, oh, right on.
	Yeah, I've got a German Shepherd back home.
	And you'll be like, oh, that's really cool.
	Making friends.
	Making friends.
	And then, young women on the beach, they're gonna be like, oh, your dog's so cute.
	And you'll be like, hey, my name's Rick.
	What's your name?
	Nice to meet you.
	Do you live nearby?
	I live nearby.
	Yeah, I just take the dog for a walk on the beach.
	I come out here very often.
	Really basic way to meet people.
	Dogs are fantastic for that.
	I mean, the reality is you can just go out and walk around and smile and wave to people and go about your business.
	But, you know, the dog is that icebreaker.
	You know what I mean?
	Being responsible for an animal, having a good pet, everybody wants to talk, and it's easy to meet people that way.
	Oh, no, the dog's run up to somebody.
	Hey, I'm sorry.
	He's really friendly.
	You can pet him.
	Some people are really nervous about just saying, hey, how's it going?
	In my life, I have had zero issues whatsoever walking up to men and women and saying, hey, what's going on?
	In fact, I made a living doing it when I was doing non-profit fundraising.
	Quite literally standing on a street corner and smile on your face.
	You just wave like, hey!
	For guys, what I would do is I would walk two steps towards them and I reach my hand out.
	And almost every single guy will shake your hand.
	Nice to meet you.
	And I'd say, I gotcha!
	And then they'd laugh and be like, yeah, okay, you got me.
	What are you selling?
	And I'll be like, oh, we're here with this non-profit.
	We're trying to raise money.
	And with guys, you treat guys differently than you treat women.
	The thing about talking to women, it was never hard.
	It was just like, hey, how's it going?
	You go to school at Columbia?
	Like, yeah, I do.
	Be like, well, you got two seconds, right?
	Check it out.
	Here's what we're doing.
	There's not even an issue.
	There was never one instance where someone was like, how dare you talk to me?
	I'm being harassed.
	Never happens.
	Never happens.
	You got to watch out for this internet stuff that warps your brain, too.
	You know what I mean?
	Here we go, one guy says, number one wife and kids have her.
	Respecting women's wishes is super gay, guys.
	There you go.
	This guy says, that is the most scariest thing ever.
	It's the scariest, you don't need the most.
	You respect your wishes and imagine if a dude made a move and smashed.
	Next day would be a 50-50 grape allegation because she regretted it and explicitly told you.
	Yup!
	And these guys are saying things like, you gotta read the cues because she actually wanted it.
	Dude!
	Cops come and be like, Did she tell you no?
	And you'll be like, well, she didn't say no, but did she express that she didn't want to sleep with you?
	Be like, well, she did say that, but you're under arrest, you're going to prison now, you admitted it.
	That's it.
	There's no world where you're playing this game.
	Here's a funny one.
	OG says, women aren't complicated, just never listen to a word that comes out of their mouths.
	Here's a funny video where it's like men and women are different.
	The wind steps over the rail and the man just opens the gate and walks through.
	But that's not fair.
	That's just stupid people.
	You can certainly say that of anybody.
	I think when we're looking at the modern dating world, you can see that young guys, their virginity levels are through the roof.
	And it's like 30-year-old dudes who are virgins.
	And they're upset about it.
	And I mean, I don't know that it matters for the most part, but I think when people are stunted and you're 30, come on, like, look.
	Seamus Coghlan, who's a devout Catholic, been on the show, and we were talking about this, and he said, based.
	And I was like, it's not based, dude.
	In a normal world, a 30-year-old man should have, like, two kids by now, and was married by 21 or 22.
	Now dudes are in their 30s and don't know how to even meet people because of weird, insane people like this.
	Now let's say this woman's making a joke.
	You think that matters?
	Look at the reaction.
	16.5 million views.
	She wanted the views.
	She got them.
	She got the controversy.
	So maybe it's fake.
	She literally says, I'm the problem.
	And now you got guys being like, this is how women really feel.
	What do you think the world's going to turn into if guys take that seriously and think no means yes?
	That's not a world we want to live in either.
	So I tell you, man.
	Young guys are dealing with this.
	And it's resulting in dudes being like, I don't want to have anything to do with it.
	It's terrifying.
	Because of people like this.
	There's no answer.
	You go back in time, and what do you have?
	You go way back, what do you have?
	Women didn't have a say.
	Women were... You had a lot of traditional marriage.
	You had a lot of arranged marriage.
	A lot of marriage was arranged.
	Here's the crazy thing, though.
	You go back far enough, and I'll tell you what's so crazy about it.
	You grew up in a town of 300 people, and there were very few kids.
	And the young guy and the young girl knew each other since they were little kids.
	From across town, different family.
	You were the son of a blacksmith, and she was the son of a cobbler.
	Guy who makes shoes, by the way, for those who don't know what a cobbler is.
	I assume most of you do.
	And you see each other at church, and then you're getting a little older, and people—courting happens because there's not that many young people.
	300 people total, including kids, meaning you're probably going to have, depending on the age of the kids, 100 adults, and each family has maybe two kids or more.
	So there's a decent amount of kids, but you grew up knowing them.
	And then when you're older, you have shared life experience, you have similar life experiences, you have similar expectations.
	The families begin to say like, hey, you guys have been hanging out quite a bit.
	Maybe you should settle down.
	And you're like 18.
	And your dad's like, you're a man, you're working.
	Maybe it's time you get married.
	This is, of course, 100 years ago.
	Now where we're at is nobody knows anybody.
	People grow up on the internet.
	They never meet other people.
	They're not socially interacting.
	I saw this post where it said that despite caloric intake not changing, obesity is going up.
	And the implication was that we are eating poison.
	That there's preservatives and garbage in our food.
	I don't know that I believe that.
	Well, I mean, I certainly do believe that.
	But I think the reason for obesity is the internet.
	You used to have to go outside.
	You used to have to get up and say, I'm gonna go walk to find my friends.
	I remember, I'd call my friends, he wouldn't answer.
	I'd walk to his house, knock on the door, and then he'd be like, oh, I was playing video games.
	Had to walk to go find him.
	Now it's text.
	We are expending substantially less energy but consuming the same amount.
	This is changing how people interact.
	And internet video is warping people's perspectives on how to live their lives.
	Perhaps there will be a course correction.
	I don't know.
	But I'll leave it there!
	Congratulations to this comedian for getting 16.5 million views on her video.
	Because a lot of women are probably going to praise her and be like, oh, you go.
	Whatever.
	Next segment's coming up tonight at 8 p.m.
