		You don't want to miss it.
		Now let's get into the news.
		Major breaking news history unfolding right before our very eyes.
		The Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump, nay, that presidents do enjoy absolute immunity for official acts, presumption of immunity for acts that are within the scope of their office.
		And no immunity for unofficial acts.
		This is major breaking news.
		And of course, we've got the ruling for you.
		Now, we're hearing from the liberal justices.
		Once again, they're making the insane argument that Donald Trump could order the assassination of a political rival and claim immunity for having done so.
		Well, I tell you this.
		There's a modicum of truth to that, in that Barack Obama did actually kill American citizens without charge or trial, and was never held accountable for this.
		So, for that, I am indeed concerned.
		But as of right now, we have this massive breaking story, and for this, I am bringing you a special segment, live, And we're going to take your Super Chats, so smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
		This news broke about a half an hour ago or so, and of course we're seeing an absolute meltdown from those who don't understand the ruling, did not read it, so not only will we give you the official ruling here, We'll give you a breakdown.
		I will read the actual ruling for you.
		We'll talk about what it means.
		But I will stress, shout out to, I believe it was Will Chamberlain who accurately called this out and said, this will be the ruling.
		He was correct.
		The general idea here, if you're the president, anything you do as per your constitutional duties, you can't be criminally charged for.
		That would be insane.
		Anything you do that is an official action taken as president, which is in the periphery of your official duties, you have the presumption of immunity.
		However, Anything you do that is outside the confines of your official duties, you enjoy no such immunity.
		Duh.
		Of course, Will's prediction was they didn't actually answer the question as to what Donald Trump did on January 6th and whether or not that was official or unofficial.
		Therefore, the Supreme Court could not issue a ruling on that.
		They'd have no choice but to send it back to lower courts and say, you need to break this out and make a determination as to whether or not what Trump did on J6 is official or not.
		And then once again, that question will come up to the Supreme Court maybe in what, two years?
		Now, one of the issues at hand is that Jack Smith is that these other prosecutors of the federal government are rushing these cases through without having asked fundamental questions, for which the Supreme Court is basically saying, like, dude, you guys aren't doing your due diligence.
		I'm loving the response, however, from the left, so we'll bring all of that up.
		And I'll bring up some of these because it's all coming in in real time.
		This is actually really funny.
		I've got this tweet here from Sotomayor, which argues the president can assassinate his rivals, which I just mentioned.
		But let's read this for now.
		Get in your super chats.
		We will be reading those.
		We have this from Fox News.
		Trump immunity case.
		Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have substantial protection from prosecution.
		The issue before the Supreme Court stemmed from Special Counsel Jack Smith's election interference case against former President Trump.
		In a 6-3 decision, the court sent the matter back down to a lower court, as the justices did not apply the ruling to whether or not former President Trump is immune from prosecution regarding actions related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
		The president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the president does is official, Justice Roberts wrote.
		Well, let's do this, my friends.
		We have here the actual ruling, and I'll give you a little bit.
		the president's conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the executive branch of
		the constitution and the system of separated powers designed by the framers has always demanded an
		energetic independent executive he said. Well let's do this my friends we have here the actual ruling
		and i'll give you a little bit. October term 2023 supreme court of the united states argued april
		25th, 2024 decided July 1st, 2024 I'll read this for you just a little bit and then we'll show you some of the dissent.
		But this is held.
		Trump's immune.
		Now, hold on, hold on.
		This throws back the J6 trial.
		It doesn't mean he's immune from that.
		It means he does have immunity, duh.
		The media was lying to you.
		The liberal justices are not smart enough to understand what this means.
		And we're going to have to break this one down for you.
		A federal grand jury indicted former President Donald J. Trump on four counts for conduct that occurred during his presidency following the November 2020 election.
		The indictment alleged that after losing that election, Trump conspired to overturn it by spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the collecting, counting, and certifying of the election results.
		Trump moved to dismiss the indictment based on presidential immunity.
		Arguing that a president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions performed in the outer perimeter of his official responsibilities.
		and that the indictment's allegations fell within the core of his official duties.
		The district court denied Trump's motion to dismiss, holding that former presidents do
	not possess federal criminal immunity for any acts.
	The D.C. Circuit affirmed.
	Both the district court and the D.C. Circuit declined to decide whether the indicted conduct
	involved official acts.
	That's their first problem, they should have.
	Held.
	Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power entitles
	a former president to absolute immunity for criminal prosecution for actions within his
	conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.
	And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official
	acts.
	There is no immunity for unofficial acts.
	The case is the first criminal prosecution in our nation's history of a former president for actions taken during his presidency.
	Determining whether and under what circumstances such a prosecution may proceed requires careful assessment of the scope of presidential power under the Constitution.
	The nature of that power requires that a former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office.
	At least with respect to the President's exercise of his core constitutional powers.
	The immunity must be absolute, and for his remaining official actions, he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity.
	Oof, that word immunity!
	They just say it over and over and over again!
	That's the word at play, right?
	I talk too fast for myself sometimes.
	Article 2 of the Constitution vests executive power in a President of the United States of America.
	The President has duties of unrivaled gravity and breadth.
	This we understand.
	Let me slow it down for you, okay?
	This is plainly obvious, okay?
	You cannot charge someone for what he is constitutionally required to do.
	The question then comes to, what is an official act?
	Trump's arguing that what he did on January 6th was an official act.
	He met with the Vice President.
	He talked to him about the state legislatures.
	I make this argument.
	It is the sworn duty of the President.
	He must do this.
	He absolutely must do this.
	I'm sorry, man.
	Donald Trump, as president, when confronted with a potential for voter fraud, complaints from states, Texas filing a lawsuit to the Supreme Court against Pennsylvania, it would be a dereliction of duty for the president to ignore all of that.
	Various Republican state bodies, legislatures and representatives, Had complained that the Constitution was not upheld in their states.
	It is an obligation for Donald Trump to investigate and to demand that this be resolved.
	That being said, I believe there are interesting questions and arguments to be had about, say, Trump calling Raffensperger or whoever in Georgia and saying, you know, look, find the votes.
	Well, Democrats will frame that as him saying, make votes.
	No, Trump is saying there's a there's all these votes are here.
	Just go through them, recount whatever it is you got to do.
	Now is that an official duty of the President?
	I'm not so convinced.
	But the core of the crimes, in my opinion of what the Democrats are alleging, is that Trump wanted other electors to come in and make their case.
	I'm sorry, I'm going to have to go ahead and side with Trump on that one.
	The idea being, the state legislatures ultimately decide, not governors and not judges.
	And in many of these states, that was the case.
	A judge banged a gavel and said, nope, we're sending these electors.
	A governor said, nah, I'm certifying it regardless.
	And the state legislative body said, hold on.
	The rules were changed without a permission.
	Pennsylvania was one such case.
	You had a lawsuit there that they ultimately said, you know, these guys are right.
	The lower court upheld that universal mail-in voting was unconstitutional.
	And the higher court said, don't know, don't care.
	For that, Texas sued Pennsylvania.
	And these questions never got answered.
	It really is amazing.
	And I'll give you the final thoughts here from Roberts.
	You know, look, they go into great detail about these various cases and blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But here's what they say.

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This case poses a question of lasting significance.
		When may a former president be prosecuted for official acts taken during his presidency?
		In answering that question, unlike the political branches and the public at large, the court cannot afford to fixate exclusively or even primarily on present exigencies.
		Enduring separation of powers principles guide our decision here.
		In this case, the president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts and not everything the president does is official.
		The president is not above the law.
		I'm gonna pause right there and say, just don't say that, that's stupid.
		Of course he's above the law.
		And I'll explain that.
		But under our system of separated powers, the president may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers.
		And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.
		That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office, vacated and remanded.
		Okay, let me ask you this.
		What does above the law mean?
		My friend, when you literally write, you can't prosecute a president for this reason, that's called above the law.
		Okay?
		That just is.
		Not good, not bad, statement of fact.
		The president's job under the Constitution is above the law.
		That's fine.
		He is the upholder of law.
		That being said, there is law by which we can apply.
		What I mean to say is, you will not criminally prosecute a sitting president for his official duties.
		But you will impeach him if the official duties are high crimes and misdemeanors as perceived by Congress, and that is the balance of powers.
		After Congress impeaches, it will move to a Senate trial to seek indictment.
		And that's it.
		And I'd be willing to bet that even after indictment, you know, there's going to be some challenge to the Supreme Court to determine, you know, how this plays out because all three branches will check each other.
		And that being said, the president does enjoy broad immunity, which means he is above the law.
		And there's a lot of people who are above the law.
		Many people are above the law.
		Police have qualified immunity.
		That means they're above the law.
		I mean, come on, it's just a stupid thing.
		No one is above the law!
		First of all, we have political corruption in this country, so there's a lot of people who are above the law.
		But you get the point.
		Now let's jump over here.
		Jay Collingwood says Sotomayor is straight-up bat-ish.
		I'm not gonna swear here.
		Well, I think we have the dissent here in the opinion.
		So, instead of just pulling up that screenshot, let's see how many times the word assassinate appears in the opinion.
		Once.
		Ah, here we are in the dissent.
		This one, I believe, is Sotomayor writing.
		Dissenting.
		Looking beyond the fate of this particular prosecution, the long-term consequences of today's decision are stark.
		The court effectively creates a law-free zone around the president, upsetting the status quo that has existed since its founding.
		That's absurd, mind you.
		This new official act's immunity now lies about like a loaded weapon for any president that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his own financial gain above the interests of a nation.
		The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world.
		When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution.
		Orders the Navy SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?
		Immune.
		Organizes a military coup to hold him to power?
		Immune.
		Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon?
		Immune.
		Immune.
		Oh, you know what?
		Like, wow.
		Reading this, it's painfully obvious this is not A well-thought-out and reasoned argument.
		This is a hysterical, lunatic, immune, immune, immune, immune, what?
		Write me your thesis, lady.
		Give me an essay.
	Don't quinge.
	Ridiculous.
	But I suppose that's what they do, huh?
	Let the president violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official powers for evil ends.
	Why would any of that be allowed?
	Impeachment is still an option.
	Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be.
	That is the majority's message today.
	Still, no matter what you do, yes, President, you will be subject to potential impeachment and conviction.
	And following your impeachment and conviction, you will face real-world criminal charges.
unidentified		Alright?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Alright.
		Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, I pray they never do, the damage has been done.
		The relationship between the president and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably.
		In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.
		That's really amazing to write.
		I want to jump to the opening paragraph, mind you, to see what her actual argument is.
		It's wordy, nonetheless.
		Very wordy.
		Where's the... On what page does the dissent... Wow.
		I think the dissent wrote more than the majority opinion.
		Maybe that's the case.
		I don't know.
		I'm not a big SCOTUS tracker or anything like that, but yo, Sotomayor wrote a lot!
		She certainly is unhappy here.
		So we'll scroll up.
		Look at all this.
		Jeez.
		And she clearly has no understanding of what the law is, which is kind of scary.
		It's weird.
		I wonder if you could take, like, your average conservative... Here we go.
		Your average conservative commentator, and they'd understand the law better than her.
		And then the left is going to say, You really think you know better than a Supreme Court judge?
		Yes.
		Just because you were appointed to a court does not mean you know how that operates.
		Hunter Biden was put on the board of Burisma.
		I'm not going to go ahead and assume he knows how to speak Ukrainian and how Ukrainian law works, or energy for that matter.
		Sotomayor being on the Supreme Court does not mean she understands the law or the functions of these things, and it does not mean that she can understand how she would have felt if she did not have breakfast yesterday.
		Here we go.
		A writ of certiorari to the United States of Appeals for the District Court of Columbia.
		Sotomayor, with whom Kagan and Jackson joined, dissenting.
		They write, today's decision to grant former president's criminal immunity reshapes the institution of the presidency.
		No, it doesn't.
		It makes a mockery of the principal foundation to our constitution and system of government that no man is above the law.
		You know what I really love about that?
		We offer diplomatic immunity to foreigners!
		And you mean no one's above the law.
		Come on.
		We literally have it in law that there are people who are immune.
		We offer up prosecutorial immunity all the time.
		It's like one of the most common things in court.
		To say, we will grant you immunity from the law if you give us something in exchange.
		I just, it's so stupid.
		No man is above the law.
		Okay, what about women?
		Is that the point you're trying to make?
		Relying on little more than its own misguided wisdom about the need for bold and unhesitating action by the president.
		It does.
		You have to impeach the president.
		The impeachment mechanisms are in the Constitution.
		The court gives former President Trump all the immunity he asked for and more,
		because our Constitution does not shield a former president from answering for criminal
		entries in his acts. I dissent. It does. You have to impeach the president. The impeachment
		mechanisms are in the Constitution. The indictment paints a stark portrait of a president's
		desperate to stay in power. In the weeks leading up to January 6, up to J6 2021,
		then-President Trump allegedly spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud
		in the election and that he'd actually won.
		That is something that has not yet been adjudicated as true or false.
		When dozens of courts swiftly rejected these claims, Trump allegedly pushed officials in certain states to ignore the popular vote, disenfranchise millions of voters, dismiss legitimate electors, You see, I gotta pause here.
		That is what's at stake right now.
		They have not yet issued a determination.
		Actually, I'm sorry, I gotta take that back.
		He was impeached over that and was acquitted.
		Case closed.
		This is what's really scary, I gotta tell you.
	What's scary is that Donald Trump was acquitted of these charges in Congress.
	And the Supreme Court has dissenters who are like, we don't care.
	Even though Trump was acquitted, he should be charged again.
	I think double jeopardy should apply.
	Well, no one ever accused these people of being smart.
	She's arguing that the assassination of a political rival is an official duty, which is insane.
	It's a very wordy dissent.
	And who else do we have?
	Jackson dissenting.
	So we have the following opinions.
	I bet they're all equally as uninformed.
	Sotomayor dissenting.
	I want to grab her conclusion here.
	Maybe she'll wrap it up for us nightly and we'll get an understanding of what she's actually trying to say.
	Not that I think that she's actually saying anything coherent, mind you.
	But also, as I'm scrolling down, get your superchats in.
	We'll read your superchats in just a second.
	And we'll grab a little bit more here.
	Man, she wrote a lot.
	Are you serious?
	How far down do I gotta scroll for this?
	This is ridiculous.
	Sotomayor, Sotomayor.
	Man, she is pissed!
	There's Jackson dissenting.
	Alright, there we go.
	So this is Jackson's dissent.
	And here we go, the final page for Sotomayor.
	The majority's single-minded fixation on the president's need for boldness and dispatch ignores the countervailing need for accountability and restraint.
	The framers were not so single-minded.
	In the Federalist Papers, after endeavoring to show that the executive designed by the Constitution combines all the requisites to energy, Alexander Hamlin asked a separate, equally important question.
	Does it also combine the requisites to safety?
	In a Republican sense, a due dependence on the people, a due responsibility.
	The answer then was yes, based in part upon the President's vulnerability to prosecution in the common course of law.
	The answer after today is no.
	Never in the history of our republic has a president had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law.
	Moving forward, however, all former presidents will be cloaked in such immunity.
	If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop.
	With fear for our democracy, I dissent.
	Democracy.
	Let me tell you why we need this, and why this is the correct ruling, and why it's always, of course, going to be partisan lines.
	What is a crime?
	Well, let me do this.
	I will Google search weird laws still on the books, and I will pull this up for you.
	LegalZoom.
	The top craziest laws still on the books, and I'll explain to you why immunity is important.
	Alright.
	There's blue laws.
unidentified		Let's see this.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It's concerning man's best friend.
		What is this one?
		If you're a dog owner, be sure to take care not to violate any of the numerous laws concerning your four-legged pal.
		If you're planning a short stint in Hartford, Connecticut, you might want to keep your dog's obedience training under wraps.
		It's against the law to educate dogs in that city.
		Really?
		Really.
		In some places, it's also against the law to expose your dog to the hazards of smoking.
		In Illinois, for example, it's illegal to give lighted cigarettes to your pets, even if they do enjoy a good Cuban from time to time.
		If you happen to stay in normal Oklahoma, be sure to restrain yourself from teasing dogs by making ugly faces.
		You guessed it.
		That kind of inflammatory behavior is against the law.
		You know, I don't know why it's against the law to make a silly face at a dog.
		Probably because several hundred years ago, There was a dog, and a guy was going, and the dog got pissed, and the dog got, you know, started biting people.
		And the guy argued, if he wasn't agitating my dog, my dog wouldn't have done anything.
		And they said, okay, and it's like a small town.
		They're like, okay, guys, no more mocking dogs or whatever, okay?
		Can we be through with this?
		And that's it.
		Now think about what that means.
		It means that someone can pass a law, any law, whatever law they want, and prosecute a president for his official acts.
		That's psychotic.
		What is being argued by the dissenting justices is the utmost of either idiocy or deceit.

		But imagine, Donald Trump says, I'm going to, I don't know, order the military to defend our southern border.
		And so a law is passed in the state, or Congress passes a law saying, the president no longer has the constitutional authority to dictate military action.
		Oh, you can't do that, it's unconstitutional!
		And they say, well, it's the law now.
		No.
		Absurd.
		There is constitutional authority that cannot be changed without amendment.
		The idea that Congress would pass a law and that could then curtail the executive branch is an absurdity.
		Now, don't get me wrong, this kind of thing does happen often.
		Congress will pass a law on the periphery of official duty, it will go to the Supreme Court, the Court will challenge it.
		The president will issue an executive order and then Congress will challenge it.
		It'll go to the Supreme Court.
		These are how we do the checks and balances.
		I see no issue there.
		So within the confines of Trump's official duties, what seems to be the problem?
		The problem is they're trying to prosecute Trump for what is his sworn official duty as president.
		And that's an absurdity.
		They are upset that they cannot remove him as the frontrunner in the election.
		That's what it's really all about.
		I think it's fair to argue some of these liberals have not thought this through and don't understand their arguments.
		Barack Obama killed an American citizen.
		He's not been criminally charged.
		Why not?
		If the argument from these justices is that, for the longest time, it was the duty of the people to criminally charge a sitting president who committed crimes, why then no charges for any of the past presidents for the killing of civilians and Americans?
		I wonder.
		And if the argument was to be made that Donald Trump is not immune, then what say anyone for the charges that could be brought against Joe Biden right now?
		Perhaps pertaining to Afghanistan?
		The withdrawal?
		The debacle?
		This is why the President is immune.
		You cannot have a presidency if the President can't do anything without being criminally charged for it.
		The President deals with military action.
		Military action I overwhelmingly disagree with.
		But I understand why we are not criminally charging Barack Obama.
		I think he should be impeached because you impeach him first, then you can criminally charge him.
		I accept that.
		I accept those terms.
		Congress ain't gonna do it.
		It's long since passed.
		They don't care.
		They should.
		That should be the response from the Republicans.
		I'm gonna grab some of your Super Chats, ladies and gentlemen.
		We'll read what you guys have to say.
		Make sure you head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member.
		But we'll read what you have to say.
		Not a banned account says, does this mean Biden won't face any charges?
		That is correct.
		Bullseye Ben says, let's effing go.
		Mr. Pockets says, we cannot allow them to get away with putting someone so unfit in the White House, which is why I endorse Joe Biden for the Democratic Party candidate.
		Shout out to my dad, Mike.
		I love you, man.
		J.R.G.
		says, Can you feel the tide turning?
		Biden falls apart.
		Trump is rising.
		The pendulum is swinging back forcefully.
		I am seeing it everywhere.
		Politics, culture.
		And it's not just the U.S., but worldwide.
		I agree.
		I agree.
		Nico, the arms dealer, says, Dear Jack, hold this L. Love, DJT.
unidentified		Haha!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		What do we got?
		Not a bad account says, will this SCOTUS ruling further risk U.S.
		Civil War?
		No, I actually think this is a stabilizing factor in the United States.
		If the Supreme Court ruled for no immunity, then destabilization is right in front of you.
		Because they'd start criminally charging Trump for everything.
		Not a bad account says, can President Biden now declare martial law?
		President can declare martial law for anything.
		I mean, there's confines to how they can, but if he wanted to, he would.
		Let's grab some more here.
		What do we got?
		Z-Europe says, Trump is 6'9 and built like the Hulk.
		Of course he's immune.
		Haha, he's not, but you know.
		Tim Crisp says, thoughts on UFC 303?
		I only peripherally watched it.
		I can't tell you.
		Anonymous says it's a bad day for Harry Sisson.
		I hope the DNC sends him another paycheck so that he can start complaining about this on Twitter.
		There you go.
		Andrew P. says now Biden won't get prosecuted.
		That is correct.
		For his official duties.
		And they'll argue that Burisma was his official duty.
		All of that stuff.
		It is what it is.
		Double-edged sword.
		But you can impeach him.
		You've got to impeach him for his actions as Vice President.
		You've got to impeach him for his actions as President, but then you can criminally charge him.
		And I accept those terms.
		I think that's fair.
		This has been big breaking news, so I wanted to get this segment up right away, and so I want to give a shout-out to everybody who tuned in for the special live segment, but we will be back at 4 p.m.

		It is the 4th of July weekend, so we are, of course, off Thursday and Friday, but I want to thank you guys all for hanging out watching.
		You can follow me on x at TimCast and Instagram as well.
		Oh boy, it's getting exciting, isn't it?
		Thanks for hanging out, everybody.
		Again, smash that like button, share the show with your friends, and we will be back at 4 p.m., and we'll see you all then.
		It is now public and private.
		In the corporate press, we have stories from Politico.
		Ex-DNC Vice Chair Biden must be pushed to drop out.
		According to Tucker Carlson, Obama and other prominent Democrats behind the scenes are saying Biden must drop out.
		Bill O'Reilly is reporting that the decision has already been made.
		They just don't know how to spin it yet.
		Might I offer a suggestion?
		You know, Joe Biden stumbles on stage suffering a medical issue and Gavin Newsom runs out to save him!
		Just sayin', just sayin'.
		Now, I'm gonna go ahead and believe that, yes, Biden's out.
		I really do think so.
		Bill O'Reilly's got two tweets about it.
		I'm gonna need a little bit more confirmation to say definitively, but the reason why I'm leaning towards it's likely the case, although what that probability may be, I don't know.
		It has to do with the New York Times pre-writing Or at least pre-preparing an article calling for Joe Biden to quit and then only publishing it after the debate was over.
		Democrats behind the scenes knew full well that Joe Biden is gone, according to a report from Tucker Carlson.
		It is Jill Biden that is cloistering Joe away from everybody, running everything, pulling the strings, and making sure Joe does not step down.
		But when you watch these videos from the debate, there is nothing you can do anymore.
		Alex Jones has this video.
		Where after the debate, Donald Trump waves and just casually walks off the stage, just goes around the corner and goes backstage.
		Joe Biden, holding Jill's hand, struggles to walk zombie mode, can't bend his legs and sidesteps to walk down a single step!
		I mean, you watch this film and you're like, this guy's zombie hands, he's Cornholio, he is gone.
		When you pull up a Google search, you see it across the board.
		Everyone's saying Biden dropout now.
		You know, I said back in November, I did not think Biden would be the candidate.
		I just, I didn't see how.
	And they really, really pushed it, didn't they?
	I mean, it's July 1st.
	It's MAGA month, ladies and gentlemen.
	Happy MAGA month, by the way.
	Fourth of July coming up.
	We'll be off, of course, Thursday and Friday to celebrate America.
	But they really pushed it.
	They pushed it as far as they could.
	And the question is why?
	Well, perhaps it's because if they swapped in, say, a Gretchen Whitmer or a Gavin Newsom, That would give the Republicans time to start doing opposition research.
	So the idea, I suppose, is drag this out as long as you can so that Republicans have no opportunity to say anything, to do any research, and you can throw in a Gretchen Whitmer or a Gavin Newsom at the last minute and say, he's better than Trump.
	I mean, the reality is, Trump is an old guy.
	He's an old guy.
	But he's spry.
	On stage, he had great answers.
	He did really, really well.
	We were all very excited for his performance.
	Joe Biden was completely gone.
	But right now, what are we seeing?
	The Democrats and the liberal personalities are loading up on why Trump is wrong, why Trump lied, and why Trump is bad, while at the same time saying, yes, Joe Biden is bad.
	You know, he's not all there.
	Though there are some liberal personalities who are trying to argue for Joe Biden to stay.
	I think the play is this.
	I think when they swap in Newsom or Whitmer, whoever it may be, maybe Newsom, they are trying to poison the well.
	Trump bad for all these reasons.
	Then they bring in Gavin Newsom and there's no oppo research.
	There's no scandals.
	You get the point.
	The first thing I want to do, I don't want to read this tweet from, we'll read this story from Politico in a second.

	But the first thing I want to read for you guys is this from Bill O'Reilly and then Tucker Carlson.
	Bill O'Reilly with no spin news coming out rather bluntly.
	I can't believe it, really.
	I mean that half literally.
	It's hard to believe this is true.
	O'Reilly says here's a Biden update from BillOReilly.com news headquarters.
	The decision has been made that the president will quit the campaign.
	Two reasons.
	Democrat internal polling says he cannot recover from the debate and fundraising is drying up.
	So it's over for Joe.
	But the White House hasn't yet, doesn't yet know how or when to make the announcement.
	Stay close.
	I do not believe Bill O'Reilly would report this willy-nilly.
	I think he's gonna have some source behind him.
	That being said, whatever that source may be, I don't know.
	So I'm gonna need a little bit, I will need a little bit more confirmation.
	I won't just come out and say BillOReilly.com confirms because, um, what's one guy?
	You know, usually when you get something as big as the New York Times, or say the Wall Street Journal, that's a story that has gotten so big that it will be confirmed by campaign officials and other staffers.
	Bill O'Reilly saying this is interesting.
	I would say it's corroborated.
	I would say it makes sense, but we don't know for sure just yet.
	Tucker Carlson, this early morning, tweets out, From an unusually good source, Obama's tweet supporting Joe Biden was disingenuous.
	In private, Obama is telling people Biden can't win, and he is therefore in favor of an open convention.
	Obama will not say whom he supports, nor, as of yesterday afternoon, had he met personally with Biden to deliver the message.
	Relations between the Obamas and the Bidens have never been warm.
	At times, they've been hostile.
	But recently, they've deteriorated further, mostly due to Jill Biden.
	In the hours and days after the debate, she kept her husband cloistered away from anyone who might convince him to drop out.
	Jill Biden is the driving force behind her husband's re-election campaign, just as she was in 2020, when other members of the family, including Biden's sister Val, considered him too impaired to run.
	The next generation of potential Democratic candidates understands all this as an opportunity, and they're circling, particularly Gretchen Whitmer, who is promoting herself aggressively.
	I think we have the Whitmer poll right here.
	They're actually polling.
	Trump beats Whitmer by two points in a new general election poll of likely voters.
	Why are they doing polls with Gretchen Whitmer?
	Well, my friends, You take a look at the polling after that debacle on the debate stage, and it is a disaster.
	An absolute disaster for the Democrats right now.
	The RealClearPolitics average has Donald Trump up two points in aggregate.
	Two whole points, and that's amazing.
	And then we jump over here to the betting odds over at RealClearPolitics.
	Take a look at this.
	Biden's betting odds were already bad enough before the debate.
	With Biden sitting at around 34%, 35% of Trump's 51.
	As of today, it would appear that Joe Biden is at 19.7.
	Those are the betting odds.
	So this is a percentage out of 100.
	You've got BetOnline, Betfair, Bovada, Polymarket, Predicted, and Smarkets.
	Smarkets has him at 17.
	Betfair has him at 16.
	That's wild.
	Take a look at this.
	Not only is he not... His odds for the presidency are dropping, his odds for the Democratic nomination are dropping.
	Joe Biden.
	Predicted says, who will win the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination?
	Biden's at 61.
	That's absolutely nuts.
	I mean, you look at this.
	Donald Trump for the GOP is at $0.94.
	Why?
	Well, because you have to have a rock bottom for the other no-names.
	Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Pompeo, and Mitt Romney are all at $0.01.
	You can't even buy no.
	It's not applicable.
	That's how low it is.
	Yeah, no way.
	Because that's free money.
	Here's how it works.
	If you buy at Predicted, one share of... See how it says Buy Yes and Buy No?
	This is really fascinating, actually.
	Okay, we can't log in.
	So if you click Buy No for Rhonda Santus, it costs 99 cents.
	99 cents, okay?
	For every share.
	If Rhonda Santus is not the nominee, you get $1.
	I mean, to me that sounds kind of like free money, but I think there's a commission or something, so you probably end up losing anyway.
	But think about that.
	I mean, if you buy yes for Donald Trump at $0.94, you've got a guaranteed $0.06 on the dollar.
	Who wouldn't take that?
	Donald Trump will be the nominee.
	As for the presidency, Joe Biden has bounced up from predicted to 32, and I wonder if that's reflected in the betting average.
	No, they have him at 27.
	So he has improved a little bit since they started collecting those polls.
	Now, here's the fun part.
	You head over to FiveThirtyEight, they got Donald Trump at 41.7% in aggregate to Biden's 40.4%.
	The reason that's wild is that FiveThirtyEight doesn't take some of the same polls our RCP does, and they're more likely to favor the left.
	Let's roll, baby.
	Let's take a look at the aftermath of all of this.
	Big Fish says, you can't make this stuff up.
	Look at this tweet.
	Anthony Scaramucci says, I went to President Biden's fundraiser in East Hampton, and I thought he did quite well reading the teleprompter today and meeting with people.
	However, that is not going to be enough to prove to the American people that he's up for another four years.
	Brian Stelter says, he uses a teleprompter at a fundraiser?
	Yeah.
	It's funny, people thought Obama was the puppet.
	The puppet master, sorry.
	Maybe it was Joe Biden.
	Some people said that.
	Aaron Blake says CBS YouGov poll shows an even wider gap on who won the debate than the snap polls.
	56 for Trump.
	I'm sorry, 16 for Biden.
	Take a look at this.
	Joe Biden, 16%.
	Trump at 56.
	What's fascinating is when you break down by demographic, when you take a look at under 30s, 23% think Joe Biden won.
	Wow.
	When you look at everyone older, it's all Trump.
	That's remarkable.
	Interestingly, when you look at white, black, and Hispanic, black voters overwhelmingly say Biden won, but that it was kind of a tie, so it's split between the two.
	Hispanic voters say it was a tie, but still think Donald Trump ended up winning.
	That I find absolutely fascinating.
	DNC hosts Citi's major newspaper, calls second Biden term a ridiculous idea, and urges him to drop out of the race.
	It is a ridiculous idea, and he should drop out of the race.
	I can't believe it's come this far.
	No, I've got some stuff for you.
	Look.
	I could go through all these stories.
	Here's Google.
	Biden dropout.
	Politico.
	Biden must drop out.
	NDTV.
	Time for Joe to go.
	Fox News.
	DNC says no.
	It's ridiculous.
	CNN says Democrats fear replacement scenarios as much as keeping Biden.
	New York Times.
	Should Biden heed calls to drop out?
	ABC.
	Biden campaign argues President dropping out would lead to weeks.
	Weeks of what?
	Alright, we'll click it.
	Weeks of chaos.
	That's what I figured they were going to say.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Here we are.
	The whole news cycle is dominated by dropout Joe Biden.
	Well, what's fascinating is that Biden had a secret meeting.
	Look at this one from NBC News.
	It's a mess.
	Biden turns to family on his path forward after disastrous debate.
	And you thought, you thought this was Joe Biden going to his family and saying, you know, look, I'm a little tired here.
	Can't do it.
	And then we're going to say, you're right, Joe.
	You are old.
	You are tired.
	You can't do it.
	Nope!
	Other way around!
	Biden's family tells him to keep fighting as they huddle at Camp David.
	Well, Hunter Biden's like, Dan, I'm going to jail.
	You need to get me out of this.
	Jill's like, I will not go back to being nothing.
unidentified		I'm a doctor of education.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Dr. Jill.
		Ha ha ha.
		Remember when The View thought she was a real doctor?
		Like a medical doctor?
		And then they were like, actually, she's barely a doctor as it is, because she's like, a doctor in education, which means nothing.
		Uh oh.
		I want to show you this one.
		This one's really important.
		It's six minutes.
		I'm not going to play the full six minutes.
		Elon Musk.
		Highlighting this meme.
		That almost the entire media repeated the same lie with the exact same words is disturbing.
		The legacy news is not merely fake, but also unoriginally fake.
		If you want to know the truth, it's on X. Listen to this.
		Well, let me make sure get is the audio not.
unidentified		Analytically, this version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
alejandro mayorkas ▲ ● ▼		He is sharp, intensely probing and detail oriented and focused.
unidentified		For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America, billionaires in America.
		This is a man who is sharp, who is on top of his game, who knows what's going on.
		He's smart.
alejandro mayorkas ▲ ● ▼		He's on his game.
alejandro mayorkas ▲ ● ▼		His mental acuity is great.
unidentified		This is a very sharp president.
		And the people that I've talked to say he's as sharp as a tack.
		He's fine.
		They say he's sharp.
		There's not a problem.
		He was sharp.
alejandro mayorkas ▲ ● ▼		He was sharper than anyone I've spoken to.
unidentified		The president is sharp and he is tireless.
unidentified		He is sharp.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		It goes on like this for six and a half minutes, ladies and gentlemen.
		Six and a half minutes of the media saying over and over again that Joe Biden is sharp and with it and he can do the job.
		They kept claiming it was a cheap fake.
		Here we go.
		National Review.
		Democrats can't cheap fake their way out of this.
		We post a video of what appears to be Joe Biden taking a dump on stage.
		And I say, I don't know if he actually is.
		Just looks like he is.
		Okay?
unidentified		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Maybe he didn't.
		I'm just saying.
		We got a thousand of these videos and they go, that's a cheap fake.
		A cheap fake is when you take a video out of context.
		No, turns out it was all in context.
		Now I ask you, dear viewers, After watching that debate, do you now understand why we think it's plausible dude may have taken a dump in his pants?
		I'm not trying to be mean to an old man, okay?
		But people over 80 have a very high rate of fecal incontinence, and we all watched that video, and we started thinking, like, 81-year-old man who struggles to walk, is it possible?
		Let's call it a 1 in 5 chance.
		And the media's like, cheap fake!
		That never happened!
		Well, I don't know for sure that it did.
		I think it's silly that we keep bringing it up, but we have to!
		It's an old man who can barely walk.
		Let me pull up another video for you guys.
		What do we... I got so many of these videos lined up.
		What do we have here?
		Polling data.
		That one's important.
		We'll pull that one up.
		Trump is currently up five points in a new general election poll.
		And we have this from Alex Jones.
		I'm gonna play this video for you.
		It's a minute long.
		For those just listening, I'll describe it.
unidentified		And, uh, let's get that sound playing.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I wasn't going to play any sound, it's just Eye of the Tiger, but... So, after the debate, Donald Trump casually just walks off stage.
		He walks around the back, and... Done a ventful.
		Camera then pans to Joe, and I can't believe this is real.
		Honestly, I can't believe it.
		Jill holding Joe's hand, and Joe cannot bend his legs to get down a single step He has to do a side-side step.
		He can't bend his hips.
		His hand's in Cornholio mode.
		He's demented.
		He is demented.
		Okay, I'm not saying that as an insult.
		Like, I'm saying literally he is suffering from dementia.
		And it is clear, and it is right in front of our eyes.
		So, I don't know what to tell you, man.
		This is where we are currently at.
		You've got more of these videos.
		I'll play this polling video.
		CNN freaking out.
		This is amazing.
		And I will stress, when you watch an 80-year-old man whose hands are locked like this, like claws.
		Did you see his hands?
		Locked like claws, sticking in front of him, and he can't bend his hips to walk down a single step.
		And then someone says, I think that guy may have crapped his pants when he squatted down like that.
		I'd be like, oh, that guy?
		Yeah, that guy should be in hospice.
		I don't know what they're doing.
		There's this Axios article where they're like, from 10 a.m.
		to 4 p.m.
unidentified		he is dependably engaged.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		He's sleeping.
		He's sleeping.
		That's it.
		And they have him wait for a couple hours to do press stuff.
		Then he goes back to sleep.
		Old Grandpa Joe is gone, man.
		He's gone.
		And we can all see it.
		The funny thing is the media pulled that lie where they're like, he's sharp as a tack!
		Spare me, dude.
		Here we go.
		I hope you guys are ready for this one.
unidentified		This one's good because this is, uh... For President Biden post-debate?
harry enten ▲ ● ▼		We do.
		You know, CBS News YouGov conducted some polling post-debate.
		We can compare it to the pre-debate numbers.
		And the bottom line, Alex, it's not any good.
		It's not any good.
		Look at this.
		Voters who say that Biden has the mental health to be president.
		It was just 35% pre-debate.
		Look where it's dropped to now post-debate.
unidentified		27%.
harry enten ▲ ● ▼		How about that he should be running for president?
		It was 37 percent pre-debate.
		It's now 28 percent.
		I have never seen numbers this bad for an incumbent president during my lifetime.
		I mean, that mental health to be president, just 27 percent.
		You might say, OK, you know, that's low.
		But a lot of people thought Biden was too old back in 2020.
		These numbers look nothing like this back in 2020.
		These numbers were bad already.
		And the truth is, Alison, they have gotten just considerably worse even in just a few days after that first presidential debate.
unidentified		Do we have new poll numbers for President Biden?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And that's just a loop.
		So I just got to show you that again.
		I mean, look how incredible this is.
		I feel bad for the 35 percent.
		I feel bad for the 27 percent.
		I mean, wow.
		You know, I have conversations every day with friends and family, and there's a lot of people who really do live in CBS world.
		Oh, my favorite.
		My favorite was this weekend.
		Some family reached out to me and they were like, did you hear that the Supreme Court just legalized bribery?
		And I was like, heavens me, what?
		That's right, the Snyder ruling.
		That if you receive money after an official act, it's not a bribe.
		It's a gratuity, therefore bribery is legal.
		And I said, I kind of think you're probably wrong, and I'm going to read it.
		And so I read the Supreme Court opinion on Snyder and then I sent it to my family and they went, oh, okay, now I get it.
		Yeah, they did not legalize bribery.
		And so this past weekend I'm hanging out at the old poker tables and there's a kindly old feller sitting next to me and after winning a hand of poker he makes a joke that he's going to need this money for when he gets pulled over and he can Tell the officer, hey, don't give me a ticket.
		And then after he doesn't give him a ticket, he'll give him a tip.
		Because the Supreme Court legalized bribery.
		And I said, that sounds like something CNN or MSNBC reported.
		And he's like, well, what do you mean?
		And then, you know, the other guys at the table, they know who I am.
		And I was like, that's not what the ruling does.
		That's not what the ruling said.
		I'll break it down for you.
		Long story short, and I'm really just paraphrasing and probably oversimplifying, but the general idea was a guy awarded some contracts as mayor several years later.
		He got paid by that same company, claimed he was consulting.
		The Fed said it was an illegal gratuity.
		And charged him under the bribery statute.
		The Supreme Court said, whoa, whoa, whoa, guys, you have to charge him for gratuity, not bribery.
		Overturned.
		If you don't charge them properly, people will start claiming that these aren't bribes, they're gratuities.
		You get the point?
		So basically, gratuities are illegal, okay?
		Not all of them.
		The point made, I think it was Kavanaugh who wrote this, is that if someone, I shouldn't say I, but if someone goes to a public official and says, hey, hook me up.
		Maybe down the road I'll do a favor for ya.
		Wink wink.
		This now sets the stage for what's called illegal gratuity, illicit gratuity.
		So the mayor says, we need to order some, you know, concrete, we need to build a building.
		And the contractor says, you know, you award us this contract and Maybe in a couple years we'll get a job for you after you're out of office.
		That's it.
		That's what makes it an illegal gratuity, because there are two different words describing the same thing.
		Promise of reward in exchange for an official act.
		Bribery is when the money comes first, gratuity is when the money comes second.
		And so, I'll wrap this up, but this is where it comes down to the 27%.
		This guy said, I was like, it sounds like something CNN or MSNBC reported.
		And he was like, wow, I just heard the Democrats were saying something.
		And I'm like, exactly, exactly.
		The general idea is actually simple.
		If someone commits illegal gratuity, meaning a guy goes to you and says, do this thing for me, I'll hook you up later.
		It's the function of the same thing, but they're defined differently.
		Because gratuity is actually allowed.
		You can, you, like, if gratuity wasn't allowed, you couldn't donate to anyone's campaign.
		Hey, that guy voted in favor of a bill that benefits my company.
		I want him to get re-elected.
		I want to start giving him money and things like that.
		No, that's illegal.
		Oh, come on.
		No, what's illegal is to go to him specifically and say, do this and I'll make it worth your while.
		Handing money up front is a bribe.
		Afterwards is an illegal gratuity.
		But these people think the wrong thing.
	And then the idea is that the corporate press is trying to attack a conservative Supreme Court to delegitimize them.
	And I'm just like, they give their opinions on it.
	The opinion from Kavanaugh actually breaks down that gratuity can be illegal already, and the Feds just charged the guy into the wrong crime.
	So if the Feds come to someone and say, you committed a crime of bribery, but they actually committed gratuity, they'll say, nope, not a bribe, the money came after.
	And that is legally distinct.
	You have to charge them with gratuity so they can't do that.
	It's remarkable.
	That's a 27%.
	The people fall for what the corporate press keeps saying.
	Now, to be fair, CNN is calling this out.
	I'll give it to them.
	They've been trying.
	But there are so many people who watch MSNBC who think Joe Biden is sharp as a tack.
	He ain't.
	Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a lot more coming up for you today.
	It is plain as day.
	It is...
	It's over for Biden.
	Now, for me, I'm a Biden supporter.
	I think Joe Biden should be the nominee!
	We must stand behind Joe Biden and say, you can do it, Joe!
	I'll leave it there.
	Next segment's coming up at 1 p.m.
	on this channel.
	Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see y'all then.
	Ladies and gentlemen, as it is a holiday week, I want to give you some good news to go into your MAGA month.
	Now the story is circulating that Tim Pool bought a skate park, taking it away from a local skateboard community.
	Now it's a gross exaggeration, they're mostly lying and they're bent out of shape, but the reality is, on the surface I can say this.
	A bunch of woke leftists tried injecting themselves into a skating on a public street event because it's theirs!
	Rejected a large sum of money, which was just meant for the community, making it so that many of the local skaters would not have an opportunity to actually get said money.
	And the end result is... But I'll tell you the full story.
	The story of how Tim Pool came to own The do-it-yourself skate park that had been run by a bunch of woke leftists, and how we are taking back skateboarding, which is an absolute free fall by the way, from interests that would see it completely destroyed, from political elements that would reject money into a dying industry.
	This, my friends, It's a segment that many on the right are calling based, on the left are calling cringe, but the real story matters.
	The story of how Tim Pool bought a skate park that was owned by a bunch of woke, or I shouldn't say owned, but like run by some woke dude who is upset for some reason.
	I can't really tell you.
	All I can tell you is the way it's being framed with many on the right.
	is that a bunch of woke people got owned or something, and the left is framing it as I'm an 80s comic book villain.
	The story is truly less interesting than that, but there is a lot here in terms of the story about me going viral, about how I inserted myself into a community, and the narrative being presented by the left is that After I was denied access to a do-it-yourself park, I spent nearly $1,000,000 to steal the park from them.
	Oh man, go ahead and believe it if you want.
	I'll tell you the full story.
	Here you can see on the screen a picture of me doing a skateboard trick.
	I am doing the Smith Grind.
	That's what it's called.
	It's called the Smith Grind.
	It's in our skate park here at Freedomistan.
	Because we are launching the property, we call it Freedomistan.
	Freedom, you mean City of Freedom.
	Place of Freedom.
	And we're launching a new brand called Boonies.
	And I want to start with this.
	And then I'll come here and I'll show you some skate clips so you can understand.
	We see this tweet from Atkrukshov.
	That's his name on Twitter.
	Tim Pool bought the land a DIY was built on after the locals denied his money for a skate event they didn't want Tim to be a part of.
	I'd like to tell you a story about the real-world efforts to win a culture war.
	What it looks like, what it means, and how we do it.
	Not everybody has a million dollars to spend, I understand that.
	But the story's actually a bit more complicated than that, so I hope you enjoy.
	Here's the first post.
	It's a post from a guy named Drinks Broth, which was reposted by Martinsburg DIY Skate Park, which was reposted by Crook Shove, but it goes like this.
	On August 21st, 2023, Tim Pool, a prominent right-wing podcaster, inserted himself into the 10th Anniversary Skateboard Event and Contest at the Martinsburg DIY Skate Park with the idea of committing a total of $20,000 prize money for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
	This self-insertion was without the guidance or knowledge of the local skateboarders who led the DIY spot.
	To avoid possible negative attention that would be associated with Tim Pool, the money was refused and Tim Pool was barred from attending the event by local skaters.
	Now hold on there a minute.
	We'll come back to this.
	Here's my initial tweet, where I said, I am committing $20,000 towards prizes at this local DIY Skate Jam Best Trick Contest.
	$12,000 for first place, $6,000 for second place, $2,000 for third place.
	Richie Jackson, for those that aren't familiar, one of the most famous pro skateboarders.
	He has two of the most viewed skate videos of all time.
	I have done nothing to organize this and have no idea how it will even be possible.
	It's going to be fun.
	Here's their response.
	The Martinsburg DIY Skate Park was an unofficial skating spot, so the property owner was unaffiliated with the local skate scene.
	The head locals of the DIY Skate Park were in contact with the property owner, and even had permission to continue the use of land for skating, and minor obstacle development.
	On September 11th, 2023, only 21 days after Tim Pool's tweet announcing his involvement in the event, 310 North Raleigh Street, Martinsburg, which held the DIY spot, was bought for $850,000 by the Will of the People Production LLC.
	Will of the People Production LLC is owned solely by Tim Pool.
	Tim Pool bought the land which resided the Martinsburg DIY skate park, which devastated the Martinsburg skate scene.
	Let me tell you what's up with these people, my friend.
unidentified		Okay?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		My friends, please, please understand this.
		They don't own the land.
		There's no official organizing body.
		And I tried to give them $20,000 for nothing!
		$50,000 for nothing!
		So as the story goes We've got two private skate parks with in the area and
		We had been looking in Martinsburg So we own a large building in Martinsburg where, of course, you all know that we're setting up the Casper Coffee Shop, currently in permitting.
		And so what I wanted to do was a wide range of things.
		Either we were going to do a small plaza.
		Skate plazas are usually really small places where skateboarders can hang out and skate.
		Not big skate parks, but enough to keep... It's a park.
		It's a small park with, like, some trees and some ledges, and skateboarders can have fun there.
		That's what it is.
		Or, we were going to buy a large plot of land and build a large half a million dollar skate park that would be, I guess it would be considered a privately owned public space.
		This would require us negotiating with the city on terms, but they're called POPs, famous in New York.
		They seem all over the place.
		Ducati Park, where Occupy Wall Street took place, is actually one of these.
		The general idea is that What we would do is I'd buy a plot of land, I'd contract a company to, so you know we were looking at land that was like between a couple hundred thousand, a few thousand dollars for a small plot for a plaza, up to like half a million for a large acreage, and even up to $850,000 for a large piece of property.
		I'll tell you why this property is worth it.
		So we've been looking for a while actually.
		For some time.
		Because we owned this building in Martinsburg.
		I skateboard.
		We can't have a skate park in the building, or like a mini ramp on the roof.
		So if I'm working there, if we do a show there, where do I skate during the day?
		Well, I like skating.
		I like helping the community.
		I want people to skate more.
		The skateboard industry is dying.
		Let's build a skate park.
		So then we began investigating properties.
		Well, it just so happens the city already has an agreement with this DIY skate park.
		And it sits on four and a half acres of land that is almost entirely concrete.
		Anybody who knows how much concrete costs knows, holy crap, concrete's very, very expensive, especially if you're dealing with like four and a half acres of concrete.
		We're talking millions of dollars in development.
		So here I am presented with a property which is derelict.
		The owners don't live here.
		I believe the original owner died.
		The owner listed was incorrect, the addresses were all wrong, and we were investigating to figure out who owns this property and why is it derelict.
		And the ultimate decision was, we got four and a half acres here.
		Tons of concrete.
		It used to be a lumber yard.
		We can actually use the existing concrete and set up prefab, cheaper skate park to start if we can't afford a full concrete development, which could cost millions of dollars.
		And so if we're able to buy this land and allocate in one area some steel ramps with skate light, we could spend 20% of the cost and actually have a legitimate based skate park in Martinsburg for everyone to use.
		So we've been investigating this.
		Well, when we had been investigating it, I'd been skating around the area and sure enough, Someone comes to me one day, I think I was in like the Hagerstown, Hagerstown, Maryland, and someone's like, hey, are you gonna come to the jam in Martinsburg?
		And I was like, I don't know, whatever, I didn't really think, I didn't care, whatever, I'm skating.
		And then like a week later, someone else came up to me and said, people are asking if you're gonna show up to the Martinsburg thing, because like, we're there.
		We've been talking about doing this anti-Times Square.
		In fact, there have been some interests showing up in Martinsburg to help this out.
		And so I was like, I don't know.
		I was asked about it before.
		I mean, maybe I should choke.
		What is it?
		Sure enough, there's no official organizing body.
		The flyer itself, which they highlight in this...
		In this post, literally just says Martinsburg Street Spot.
		And there's videos of people literally skating in the street in front of my building.
		Like, I bought a building.
		I bought it from a guy.
		I said, I want a building.
		We'll put a coffee shop in it, sell coffee to people.
		Well, there's a video of people skating in front of my building.
		And I'm like, huh, how about that?
	And I was like, you know what?
	Let's do this, man.
	We're here.
	We're setting up shop.
	Let's give some local skaters some hot cash.
	Imagine.
	Any one of you out there.
	Many of you skate.
	Maybe many of you don't.
	Imagine whatever your hobby may be.
	Maybe you like playing ultimate frisbee.
	Maybe you play frisbee golf.
	You're not a professional.
	You work a day job.
	Maybe you're a carpenter or a plumber.
unidentified		I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Whatever it is you do.
		Maybe you're a teacher or a nurse, whatever.
		And someone comes and says, hey, you know, you and your buddies are going to be playing frisbee golf or kickball or whatever.
		You want $12,000?
		It's kind of remarkable to me that anyone would be like, no.
		I was actually shocked at the response.
		I thought this was going to be Like, Martinsburg skaters cheering, saying thank you.
		We did a jam here.
		You can see the window right behind me.
		Where's my arm?
		There we go.
		Right behind me, you can see the sunlight.
		We did a jam here.
		Several pro skateboarders and amateur skateboarders showed up.
		We ended up paying out like $13,000 in prizes, and everybody was super excited.
		We have tons of local skaters here who produce content.
		Everyone seems really cool about it.
		But for some reason, these people are just really, really upset for no reason.
		So in response to me offering $20,000, they started, they posted something like, we will physically remove Tim Pool if he tries to show up.
		And I honestly, I have no idea what's going on.
		Like, I don't know these people.
		Their previous video was them skating in the street in front of, or like one of their videos is like them skating in the street in front of my building, like literally, like you can see our building, the Cast Brew building.
		And I'm just like, Why are these people yelling at me?
		Like, I literally just offered free money to random skaters who wanted to do some tricks, and $12,000?
		The idea here is that we need to put money in skateboarding.
		We're gonna do it in an area, we're gonna revitalize it, we're gonna bring in some energy, and we're gonna, I want parents to look at that and say to their kids, like, you should be a skateboarder.
		This dude is making it work, right?
		Where we are right now, The skateboard industry is in freefall.
		It's collapsing.
		Revenues are drying up.
		Pro skateboarders are famously working at convenience stores and movie theaters.
		I've heard stories about professional skateboarders, the people of legend with 100,000 followers, and they're Uber drivers.
		And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
		The Olympics, man, are around the corner.
		If we do not make sure that real skateboarders are involved, corporations are going to take over and turn skateboarding into gymnastics.
		It's been a fear since I was a kid, when they were talking about putting skateboarding in the Olympics.
		So, we're going to put some money in this, and we are going to build this culture back up.
		Well, these people lost their minds.
		They were threatening to physically remove me.
		They insulted me.
		I don't even know them.
		And it was just plain weird.
		Now, here's the best part, right?
		They don't own the spot.
		By what right do they have to tell me I can't stand on a derelict piece of property they're squatting on?
		Oh, but they said they had permission to be there.
		Well, here's what happens.
		So, um, we had already been investigating numerous properties in Martinsburg.
		Uh, we bought one.
		Literally, like, it's funny.
		Okay, let me go back in time.
		We bought a building in Martinsburg.
		We have been investing in and investigating investments in Martinsburg for a long time.
		So here's what happens.
		After I announce I'm going to give $20,000 to some local skaters.
		Wow!
		Allison and I are standing in this derelict lot full of dog crap.
		And it was being sold for like $10,000.
		And one of the ideas was maybe this could be a plaza.
		What you do is, you'd buy it, you'd put concrete over it, you'd then put some tree planters, so there's like little concrete ledges, and then skateboarders can hang out there and skate.
		Now, now, don't get me wrong.
		I don't know if that would have been a good idea.
		It was next to a residential building.
		And so we talked about, like, maybe the neighbors wouldn't appreciate hearing all the skateboarding all day, so we don't want to do this.
	Well, as Allison and I were standing there talking with an agent about that and other properties, some dude claiming to be the sheriff of this park started screaming at us, walked over to us, yelling at us, shaking, filming.
	Some guy pulled up in a car, started screaming at us.
	And I'm like, I don't know you people.
	I have no idea what's going on.
	And they're screaming at us.
	And I'm like, what is up with these people, dude?
	It's nuts.
	So these are the people, I guess, who were threatening me with violence or whatever.
	Now here's the best part about this.
	These people are making the claim.
	And this is, it's, look, you know, I don't just bring this up willy-nilly.
	1.4 million views on X, going viral, 2,000 tweets.
	I think it's a tremendous opportunity to bring up this story and tell you all about it.
	Because many of you might just say it's a big victory or whatever.
	Can I just say this?
	The idea that you can buy a million dollar property in 21 days, it clearly shows these people have no idea how any of this stuff works.
	We had been investigating in Martinsburg forever.
	We've been trying to build the coffee shop for how long?
	We've been talking with ramp construction companies and engineers about what kind of property could go where.
	Now, the problem these people that I see with Martinsburg is, they're now trying to fundraise for a large concrete park somewhere else.
	Please, by all means, go ahead and do it.
	But, like, I'm confused.
	I don't even know you.
	I don't say anything to these people.
	I've been offering up money trying to build a park.
	They reject it for reasons unknown to me.
	They say they don't want to be associated with Tim Pool.
	Fine.
unidentified		Sure.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Whatever.
		But how are we going to reconcile that with the city that I offered up like two million dollars in funding to make a skate park and y'all reject it?
		I don't care what these people think, okay?
		The end result is their skate park is now on my property.
		I own the commercial lot where this park resides.
		And I told them, guys, even after they're all freaking out and angry, I'm like, guys, I don't know you.
		I don't care what you're doing.
		Keep skating there.
		Just whatever the deal was you had before, that's it.
		You skate at your own responsibility.
		I have nothing to do with this.
		They're acting like they're trying to claim that this is a comic book villain thing.
		Yo.
		I love this.
		Let me see if I can pull up some of these tweets, right?
		Let me see what tweets we have pulled up.
		I want to find a good, fun one.
		There was one where it was like, Tim Poole is, here we go, this is a good one.
		Hey Caitlin!
		She's like, Tim Poole got excluded from a skate park and was like, what would the sad, lonely, rich kid villain from Little Rascals do?
		Give them $20,000, no strings attached, and then leave?
		And never talk to them again?
		This is the wildest thing.
		We offered up this money, and that was the end of it.
		That was just it.
		When they said no, I was like, sorry.
		I talked to a guy on the phone, I was like, bro, I have no idea what you're talking about.
		Like, they're skating in the street.
		It's a street spot, I don't know what you're talking about.
		I don't know you guys.
		And then, after we bought the property, we had to track down the owners.
		I guess the original owner died, and then their kids inherited it, and they weren't too far away.
		But the listing information was derelict.
		And I think, I'll tell you what I think really happens.
		I'll tell you what the people in Martinsburg have been telling me.
		So as you know, we want to make an anti-Times Square in Martinsburg.
		They've got really amazing restaurants.
		Shout out to Bricks 27.
		The best filet mignon I've ever had.
		I'm not kidding.
		They sous vide it before they cook it?
		Wow!
		And I was really impressed because it's Martinsburg, you know?
		But it's coming up.
		It's popping off.
		So I'm really excited.
		And it's a great place.
		It's a great place.
		Here's what I think.
		I think the people who had built this... It's called DIY Do It Yourself Park.
		They wanted to call it a DIY, not a private park, but they want to treat it like a private park, like it's their property.
		Because the owner died, kids inherited it, and they did not know what was going on.
		There's even a building on the property.
		There's a building on the property!
		Yep.
		It's tremendously valuable, the property, but it was derelict.
		And we saw this building, and we saw this commercial property, and we're like, not only could we build a skate park, but you could put a skate shop right there.
		It's like, perfect.
		Now, there is a church there, and we told them, you guys, anything you need, anything you want, you do your thing.
		And they're like, nah, we're good, and you know, we'll just keep doing our thing.
		I'm like, do your thing, do your thing.
		And that was it.
		Since then, we've said nothing and done nothing for no one.
		We bought it and we walked away.
	And we're working on all of our other projects.
	We're focused on getting Casper up and running.
	But with this property derelict, The people who claimed it was a DIY needed to, because they don't own the property, but were still acting like they did own the property.
	So the real problem?
	Me buying the property, I now have authority over the property, and they had de facto authority to threaten and, you know, attack people, because there was no... well, because it was derelict!
	So, let me tell you, my friends, before we move to where we were, Four years ago, five years ago, there's a building in Martinsburg that's like, what is it, like 400,000 square?
	It's nuts!
	And it was being sold for like 700k.
	And I was like, man, I wish I could buy it.
	But there's no way to maintain a building of that size.
	That's why it was abandoned.
	Now it's been bought by developers and they're turning it into apartments and lofts and stuff.
	So it's about to pop off in Martinsburg.
	That's why we're all excited for everything that we're working on.
	But let me tell you what the people of Martinsburg, West Virginia have been telling us.
	I want to give another shout-out to Mamba Collectibles.
	They're our next-door neighbors, and last Saturday we played some hefty games of Magic the Gathering and Commander, and we had a good time.
	Good fun, good fun.
	I won one of them, but it's a little unfair.
	Like, I was playing a higher tier deck, and they were playing casual, and I stomped them, but you always feel bad when you do that, because you're like, we're trying to have fun, gotta play a deck that's gonna win on turn three, and that's what I did.
	Turn two Grim Monolith, turn three Narset, turn four Strike, two extra turns, two extra turns, you get it, Magic the Gathering players.
	Anyway, they're awesome.
	Cool people that run that.
	We play with Magic cards, you know, we play card games, it's fun.
	Well, I've talked to many of the people in Martinsburg because why would we want to go to a city where people don't like us?
	And I'll tell you what we hear from the locals.
	Certainly there are locals that are woke.
	But with the skate park and what the skaters are doing, what I have been told, elements from DC and from Frederick, Maryland, more woke, younger elements, move there because of derelict property and lower rents.
	They're bringing in politics that shock and offend many of the people who live in Martinsburg.
	They're concerned that if this trend continues, you're going to get more drug use, for which there is already rampant drug use and lots of complaints about it, and politics of degeneracy.
	And I just said, look, we're going to come.
	We're going to set up our businesses.
	It's going to be family friendly.
	It's going to be rather normie and basic.
	We're going to skate.
	There's no politics in any of our skating.
	We're going to play magic.
	There's no politics in any of our magic.
	We're going to come.
	We've been here for a while now.
	The skate park, the land we bought, is two blocks from where our coffee shop is.
	And that's just it.
	And they are upset because we're winning.
	Guess what?
	Actual skateboarders They want to come skate.
	They don't care about any of that stuff.
	So we've talked to some of the biggest pros in the world and they say, uh, it was really cool what you did for that local community, man.
	20 grand just offered up.
	I was like, well, they rejected it.
	When I talk to pro skaters, industry heads, and I say, we offered 20 grand in prizes straight up to a local DIY for their contest.
	And they said, no.
	I get shocked.
	I get gasps.
	Confusion.
	This can't be right.
	You hand someone 20 grand, they say, thank you, sir.
	In what reality does someone say, I don't want your money?
	A politically motivated reality.
	And that's part of what's killing skateboarding.
	I'm seeing a lot of big skate channels and personalities dying out right before the Olympics comes.
	We can't have that.
	This is how you win a culture war.
	Now, for many of you who don't skateboard, you're thinking, I don't know anything about this.
	Right.
	I challenge where I can challenge.
	What are the things that I do?
	I play music.
	I skateboard.
	I play poker.
	I play Magic the Gathering.
	And I talk about politics.
	So, of course, these are the things that I've invested in and I'm trying to expand.
	If you have hobbies in other areas, you know, I hear about a lot of bird housing, just all this stuff where the weird politics stuff is getting crazy.
	That's the world that you enter.
	So you have the people who are, like, comic skate, you have the challenging in the comics industry, trying to push back on these things.
	We have to start challenging the cultural norms and building up our capabilities.
	Here's the truth.
	I want to stress again the laughable idea of 21 days after this tweet, he bought the land.
	And it's like, yeah, but guys, you were screaming at me before that when I was trying to buy land.
	I bought land a year and a half before that!
	Like, they think that this is like, they're the center of the universe and everything revolves around them.
	No, I'll tell you what this is.
	The woke elements of self-destruction that would bring drugs and violence into the community of Martinsburg are upset that we are fighting back.
	And the real skateboarders, they're skating here.
	Because we're really close.
	We're super close to Martinsburg.
	You hop in your car and you're there in a few minutes.
	We built this big private park and we want to build a public one.
	And so the people who are in the area who skate are just like, Can I come skate?
	And I'm like, yeah, whenever, come skate.
	And they're like, cool.
	And then they do, and they film.
	Actually, one of the guys who posted said, I know you guys are skating with this person and helping him, but you shouldn't because he's bad.
	Right wing, prominent right wing.
	Dude, there's no politics in boonies.
	When we skate, we skate.
	You don't see me, here's a clip.
	They're like, Tim Pool's a poser.
	Oh, here you go.
	Let me, I'll play, what do I have?
	I don't know, I have a switch hard flip right here.
	Here you go.
	There's a switch hard flip.
	Switch hard flip is... I don't know how you describe it.
	I mean, definitions change as skaters get more and more advanced.
	Switch hardflip is a relatively difficult flip trick, but I consider it a basic trick.
	It's where, uh, you stand with your opposite foot forward.
	So you're going, it feels like you're going backwards, but you're jumping off of your weak.
	It's like riding left-handed.
	I'll put it that way.
	And then it's called a hard flip.
	So I just, you know, you can, you can understand that's why.
	Then there's this, this is called a, uh, kickflip, uh, cancel flip.
	And that's where you do a kickflip where the board flips underneath you, but then you reverse it with your back heel.
	This one really bummed me out.
	Nollie backside gazelle, which is, I'll just pause, one of the most advanced tricks on flat ground.
	It's your body spins 360 and your board spins 540.
	It could be harder.
	I could probably throw a flip in there and do a nollie backside gazelle flip, but I land that first try every try.
	And then the next trick I'm trying to do is called the frontside nose grind frontside 360 shove it out.
	I didn't make it.
unidentified		I didn't get it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Cool skate park to yourself.
		So, this is pro-athletics, right?
		The Olympics is coming up.
		Also, there's Seamus the Cat.
		The Olympics is coming up, and there are big concerns in the skateboard community as The Berrics, if you're not familiar, one of the biggest brands, their skate park closed at the beginning of the year.
		We're hearing they may be reopening a new one.
		Braille, another massive YouTube channel with nearly 6 million subscribers, just announced that they were shutting down their warehouse.
		I don't know what's going on with that.
		This is scary stuff.
		We're talking about an Olympic sport that is losing touch with its root community.
		We can't allow that.
		So I've been talking with a bunch of big pro industry guys, and they are very excited.
		They're like, thank you for putting money into skateboarding.
		And I'm like, well, I love skateboarding.
		It's what I do.
		I want to do more of it.
		I am 38 and I'm still skating.
		Today we're going to go ham it up.
		That's what, ham it up!
		Hard as a mother effer.
		We're gonna film some tricks.
		I'm gonna try and crank it up a notch and get some good tricks on film and just push the limits.
		But this is what we are dealing with and people are tagging leftist personalities.
		You've got 2,000 retweets, 1.4 million.
		You know what?
		I'll say this.
		I'll give you this one.
		My friends, if you want to believe that Tim Pool being emotionally slighted by Woke skateboarders decided to drop $1 million to buy their park from them as a flex.
unidentified		Please let that be the narrative!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You come to me and tell me that you will physically remove me from property you don't own.
		Professional skateboarding is built upon trespassing.
		You go on Instagram, you go on YouTube and you watch any skate video, every single one of these MFers is trespassing and grinding and flipping off of someone's private property.
		That's how it's always been.
		You want to tell me?
		You're gonna physically remove me from property you don't own.
		Well, I told these guys this.
		I said, guys, I want to build a skate park.
		We will not touch your DIY.
		In fact, we will protect it.
		Now you have a guarantee.
		We're never touching it.
		And they push this lie that I'm trying to tear it down.
		Why would I tear down a skate park?
		I'm building them.
		I have two already!
		Because they're lying.
		For political reasons.
		Well, I asked the parents and the people, what would you rather have?
		$20,000 cash in your pocket and a skate park built at my expense?
		Or a bunch of whinging leftists rejecting all of that and claiming they own a derelict lot?
		The city's upset.
		Because around this property is a lot of drug use and criminal activity.
		We are trying to make things better.
		They don't want things to be better.
		So I can actually simplify this tremendously.
		You take a look at the Greater Culture War and what do you see?
		People on the quote-unquote right are saying things like, let's clean the streets.
		Scott Pressler cleaned up the streets in various cities in Baltimore and the media attacked him for it.
		Why?
		He didn't say anything.
		He just said, I'm gonna clean up.
		It's the right thing to do.
		And they attacked him for it.
		And now here we are.
		And their whole campaign is, how dare you offer us $20,000 for free?
		Here's what I'll do.
		If you skate in or near Martinsburg, I'll just give you the $20,000.
		How does that sound?
		It's so nuts.
		They're like, we don't want to be associated with that money.
		Uh, okay.
		That's weird.
		That's weird guys.
		Cause guess what the reality is?
		Money talks.
		And the people who are skating in the area, They're skating our private park.
		Why wouldn't they be?
		It's a large, private skate park.
		One of the best on the East Coast, and it's free.
		One of the best.
		Could be better.
		It's not super big, but it's a private park.
		You come in, you skate, you gotta sign a waiver, and then you do your thing.
		And we film, we post your clips.
		We had one dude.
		Let me show you this clip.
		I want to tell you what we're all about.
		Shout out to Street Genius on Instagram.
		You guys should follow this guy.
		This is Skateboarding Art Street Genius.
		Let me tell you about what we're on about and why this matters.
		I'm going to pull up this guy's Instagram.
		I'm going to scroll down and I'm going to show you his clip from the boonies.
	Alright?
	We got this one right here.
	That's cool.
	54,000 views.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		How about that?
		Well, I'll just keep... Oh!
		21.3 million on this clip.
		He's a street genius on Instagram.
unidentified		Take a watch.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		See that?
		That's called a chopper flip.
		21.3 million views.
		This thing has been reposted over and over and over again.
		I think we're estimating like 40 to 50 million views on this clip from the Boonies.
		This is the stuff that we need to build up an industry.
		Look at that.
		That's an amazing photo right there.
		Why are they against it?
		It's because I think they want skateboarding to die.
		It's this weird thing, it's demonic almost.
		Now let me stress, let me stress.
		I'm willing to bet that most of the people who are posting these things, they know nothing about what happened.
		All they know is some guy told them and they believed it.
		If they had ever dealt with the legal issues of buying property, setting up LLCs and all of this stuff, they would know that their story is absurd, but I'll take it.
		Tim Pool, the evil That's some villainy right there, I guess.
		Let me stress this as I wrap this up.
		$20,000 away for free! No, we won't let you! Oh, drats!
		Then I will buy the skate park and let you keep skating there! That's some villainy right
		there, I guess.
		Let me stress this as I wrap this up. I want you to ask yourself a question. Someone offers
		$20,000, no strings attached, to a contest that, by all appearances, was in the middle
		I guess they were doing that at the space or whatever, but there's videos of people in the street in front of my building.
		Someone offers you $20,000 for free.
		Then, uh, buys the property and says, you're all welcome to please keep skating here, and now you have the protection of a skateboarder who says, it will not be torn down, have a nice day, and hasn't spoken to you in a year since.
		And then they do this.
		Who's the bad guy?
		Who's the bad guy?
		I love this because, uh, let me show you some of this.
		One person said, question, did he severely overpay or is that land really worth $850k?
		Too bad the city couldn't work with the skaters to make a park for them.
		It sounds like a good community if they got a healthy DIY group.
		One person said, the absolute worst thing that could happen is any government takes the land, especially if it's DIY.
		Yeah, we don't want government taking the land.
		One person says, okay, so what did Tim Pool do with the land after buying it?
		He bulldozed the entire park, then painstakingly rebuilt it exactly as it was, except he moved every other rail, box, and ramp eight inches to the right.
		The answer is, nothing.
		I said, guys, just skate it, whatever.
		Like, we're investing in property in Martinsburg.
		We might want to build a skate park.
		Here we go.
		Well, what happened to the park?
		Seems like he's just taking on liability.
		Oh, well, in that case I'm going to take a short trip to Martinsburg and promptly break my arm in three places while wearing a beanie.
		Some loser will probably actually do this and make it get shut down.
		This is what they're doing.
		Like, sure, purchasing clout is more like it.
		I NEVER SAID ANYTHING!
		One person asked, what's the downside?
		The downside is that the person they didn't want to take money from and banned now owns the area they skate on?
		Maybe they should be more inclusive next time.
		One person was like, uh, I don't know what this guy's saying.
		Completely surprised I'm finding out about this in a viral tweet, not from FB locals.
		This is probably like finding out your uncle died through Facebook.
		I literally did nothing.
		Pool probably pushes Mongo.
		This is the thing, the game they play.
		Because, uh, I was skating in D.C.
		at Freedom Plaza, and they were posting online that I could not do a pop shove-it.
		Well, I wasn't posting clips.
		I just mind my own business.
		When, in fact, I was doing fakie 540 big flips and, you know, three gazelle spins and things like that, they lie because they're trying to maintain a stranglehold on culture and they can't let people know that I'm actually much better than them at skateboarding.
		He says no, but he does hang ten pressure flips, so you're close.
		That's actually true, but they're not called hang ten pressure flips.
	They're hang ten hard flips.
	Although, pressure flip is probably just a... It's another way to phrase it, which I think is probably fair.
	Just depends on the direction you go for the flip.
	But, let me see if I can find the video for you guys.
	Oh, here's a switch hard flip late 180.
	Kind of crusty.
	That's a pretty good one.
	So we tried to flip on a quarter pipe, a series of tricks there, um... Where's the, uh... I've got a... I call it a hang ten hard flip.
	That's just because... That's what it's been called since, uh... Uh, since we were little.
	Oh, I must have way passed it.
	Here's a, uh... Here's a forward flip.
	That's where the board flips end over end and then rotates one time.
	Uh, here we go.
unidentified		Watch this video.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So that's called a hang ten hard flip to late flip.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		And I don't know, here's a switch frontside flip 360 at Edgar's time.
		So, you know, I don't know, there's a ton of tricks.
		What do we got here?
		Switch 360 flip and a regular 360 flip.
		There you go, you get to watch me skate.
		Switch 360 flips pretty, uh, pretty up there in terms of, uh, skill and ability.
		The first try trick for me, I do it relatively easily.
		But these are the lies that they push because they're trying to make it seem like I can't do anything and, um, nobody does pressure flips, you know, whatever.
		He says, it's a funded skate park where locals chip in time and money to build obstacles themselves.
		This person asked, is he denying them the use of the land?
		No, but imagine your childhood bully buying your house and allowing you to live there.
		I don't even know any of these people.
		I've never said anything to them before.
		I never said anything before this happened.
		And the only thing I said to them during was, guys, I don't know you.
		You can keep skating there.
		What is going on?
		This is so weird.
		Someone said, too long, didn't read.
		No.
		Using racism money to kill a local skate scene.
		A literal 80s movie villain.
		I see Tim has entered the, I'm going to tear down the community center portion of his villain arc.
		Can't say I'm surprised.
		There's a picture of, a fake picture of me.
		That's fun.
		What happened to the park?
		Seems like he's taking, what's the downside?
		I love that one.
		Let's see.
		No wonder the guy is always defending Israel.
		He just took a tactic out of their playbook.
		That's right.
		Israel buying land and then telling them to please live there and do whatever you want.
		Anyway, you get the point.
		I don't know, this was fun.
		Talked too long about it.
		I like this one.
		Will of the People LLC.
		Pretension and irony are in a bitter fight to the death to determine which is best describes the name.
		Will of the People LLC is a reference to the song that we released called Will of the People.
		That's just it.
		Because LLCs need names.
		There you go.
		An 80 movie.
		This is really, really funny.
		These people really do think that they're the good guys when they're trying to shut down a skate park.
		So I'm going to say this.
		Here's the big problem right now.
		Final thoughts.
		Final thoughts.
		Half an hour on this segment.
		Here's the problem.
		They want to build a public park.
		They've gotten drawings already.
		They have land allocated.
		And a budget has been set for design.
		They need to raise, I think, $400,000.
		Okay.
		I have already offered this money.
		I have already offered large quantities of money and bought land for the endeavor, and they're rejecting it.
		My concern is, when the city comes to them and says, if you're serious about building a skate park, why are you telling this guy he can't give money for this?
		What does that mean?
		My concern is that this will actually get the park stopped!
	Because of the things they're posting right now.
	So go to the city and say, yeah, Tim Pool was offering upwards of $2 million for a park.
	And they're going to say, really?
	Yeah, but we told him, get out of here.
	If you come here, we'll physically remove you.
	And the city's going to be like, uh, what is going on?
	Why is this dude who's trying to come in here to invest and build parks being told to get the F out?
	Well, I'll tell you this.
	The local businesses, for which we have been deeply connected with because we own property and we've been working with them, do not feel that way.
	And the concern now is, these people are sabotaging the community.
	Do whatever you want to do!
	I never said anything to them.
	But I'll tell you this.
	If you reject money towards a project, explain to the city what this... Like, I don't understand.
	Who else is going to come in and put money in this?
	Have fun.
	Anyway, I'll leave it there.
	Next segment's coming up at 6pm on this channel.
	Thanks for hanging out, and I'll see you all then.
	Steve Bannon has reported to jail.
	Inmate number 05635509 reporting to Danbury Federal Prison after his final War Room broadcast.
	What did Steve Bannon do?
	He defied a congressional subpoena.
	What did Merrick Garland do?
	What did Eric Holder do?
	Same thing.
	Why is it that Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon are in jail?
	It's because you do not live in a country where functional written rules matter.
	We'll talk about that in a second, but first, let me give you the news.
	from the Post Millennial.
	Steve Bannon reports. Bannon reported to Danbury Federal Prison in Connecticut on Monday, July 1st.
	Bannon arrived outside the prison, spoke to supporters during a live stream of War Room,
	and then went into the facility. Victory or death, it's time for me to surrender up at Danbury,
	Bannon said to the press and supporters. He then walked up to the prison facility.
	Don't pray for me, pray for our enemies, Bannon said before heading inside.
	There's more videos here.
	Bannon had live-streamed his drive over to the prison before he took questions from reporters and addressing the press.
	He was convicted of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena.
	After appealing the decision, his conviction was upheld in federal court.
	He then appealed directly to the Supreme Court while asking to stay out of prison while the appeal was pending.
	SCOTUS denied the motion.
	A lot of people are celebrating the Supreme Court right now because of their decision on presidential immunity, but they got this one wrong.
	We are now in a country where Merrick Garland, where any Democrat who defies a congressional subpoena faces no repercussion.
	Republicans do.
	It's interesting considering that the Supreme Court actually said that all occupants of the Oval Office enjoy broad immunity for their congressional duties.
	Well, now there's a question about those that serve at the discretion of the President.
	I'll take you now through the case of Steve Bannon, where we're at, and why this is, let's just say, very dangerous for our democracy.
	As the story goes, and I'm paraphrasing, probably shortening it and maybe getting it wrong a little bit.
	Bear with me.
	Fact check.
	It's been a long time since this news broke.
	It's been a couple years.
	Steve Bannon was ordered by the J6 committee to turn over documents and information.
	He said, sure.
	But these are executive documents.
	Donald Trump cited executive privilege.
	Congress cannot take communications from the executive branch.
	They are co-equal branches.
	Steve Bannon said, I am barred from turning these things over because the executive branch has instructed me not to.
	They said, Trump's not in office anymore, so he has no executive privilege, which is insane.
	This question needed to go before the Supreme Court.
	Does a president retain executive privilege after leaving office?
	Yes, of course he does!
	How insane is it what they are doing to this country?
	The idea...
	That as soon as you leave office, everything you say or have done is no longer privileged.
	It's privileged for a reason.
	To create co-equal branches of government.
	You want to file a lawsuit?
	If Supreme Court and legislature want to change and amend the Constitution and alter our system of governance, those are all allowed.
	But there's a policy and a procedure for how we go about these things.
	Eventually, Trump relented and said, Steve, go ahead and give him the documents.
	And Steve said, OK, guys, where do you want the documents?
	And they said, you're too late.
	You defied our order and you'll go to prison now.
	And they wait until four months before the election to put Bannon in prison for four months.
	This is not just an attack on a political rival.
	This is an attack on one of the most prominent, if not the most prominent, Trump supporting voice.
	Now, hold on, hold on.
	Let me clarify.
	There are many people who are more famous than Bannon who support Trump.
	What I am saying is, Bannon may be one of the most effective and prominent among Trump supporters.
	One of the loudest, most vocal.
	Intelligent.
	And that's why they're targeting him.
	Make no mistake, they'll go after everybody if they can.
	Peter Navarro is already in jail for the same thing.
	Right now.
	Merrick Garland is not in jail.
	Let me tell you the story of Merrick Garland.
	Merrick Garland is the head of the DOJ.
	We found out that Joe Biden had classified documents in numerous locations.
	His office, his property.
	It's a crime.
	Trump is being prosecuted for that crime.
	Joe Biden is not.
	Why?
	We don't know why.
	The answer that we've given from her, Robert Herr, is that Biden is not competent to stand trial.
	He's a dottering old man with a bad memory.
	And they're not going to be able to prosecute him.
	He's the president.
	He's got the nuclear football.
	Nah, nah.
	So, Republicans said, okay, we want that recording.
	We want the recording of the conversation between Biden and her so we can understand if anything else is said that's not in the transcript.
	So they subpoenaed Merrick Garland.
	Garland said, shove off.
	What?
	We've subpoenaed you!
	Answer the subpoena!
	He says, no.
	They said, okay, he's defied the subpoena.
	Like Bannon.
	Like Navarro.
	Jail.
	They referred the matter to the DOJ, who said, shove off.
	They ain't going anywhere near Merrick Garland.
	He's above the law.
	That's where we're at now.
	Republicans are threatening to use what's called inherent contempt to instruct the sergeant-at-arms of Congress to go and arrest Merrick Garland at his home.
	So many people have asked me, one of the questions we got in the last segment about the Supreme Court and immunity was, oof, oh boy.
	Could this lead to civil war?
	I think the Supreme Court ruling is a stabilizing effect.
	By saying that the President has immunity, you are basically stabilizing the power between the branches.
	The idea that they would try to put Trump in prison is what will lead us towards instability and chaos.
	We don't want that.
	The Supreme Court made the right move there.
	The Supreme Court could have restored balance here, but they chose not to because they are weak.
	It's laughably insane to me how weak they are.
	It's sad, really.
	But so to the question then about instability in civil war, I can only say this.
	Some of these rulings may stave off the worst of it.
	I don't know if we're going to see civil war.
	I don't know what's going to happen.
	My position is that we are in civil strife.
	That's been described by numerous academics across the spectrum, from left to right, even the CIA.
	They say we are in civil strife.
	That is like bleeding Kansas, the period pre-civil war.
	Now whether this escalates to full-on civil war, I have no idea.
	That's why I want Trump to win.
	I think Trump's victory is a stabilizing force for a variety of reasons.
	One, Trump wants to secure the border, which will be better for our economy, better for local residents in cities like New York, Chicago, LA, who are dealing with an influx of mass illegal immigration.
	Donald Trump was one of the most effective peacemakers we've had, despite all of his bad foreign policy decisions, for which there were many!
	Commando raids, bombing Syria, I get it, I get it.
	A lot of people have questioned the attack on Suleimani.
	Was it Suleimani?
	And so there's concerns about foreign policy, I get that, but I still think one of the most effective peacemakers.
	I think that Donald Trump ticks us back towards stability a little bit.
	I don't know what happens, but I think that's true.
	I think Joe Biden does the opposite.
	However, I also think it's fair to say that whatever happens this November, we have no idea, and it could spill over.
	I think that if Joe Biden wins, the country crumbles.
	It's possible that if Donald Trump wins, ignition is a possibility.
	Under Joe Biden, we've got a shattered border, a bumbling man who can't remember where he is or name countries correctly, we've got a disastrous foreign policy that is inching us towards World War III with no end in sight, the economy is not doing too well.
	That's the one that matters to regular people.
	Under Donald Trump, I believe his leadership will be effective.
	Imperfect, dramatically imperfect, but effective enough at taking us back towards stability and away from chaos.
	However, While procedurally and policy-wise he may have a plan, my fear is this, what we're seeing with Bannon and what the left will do in reaction.
	The dramatic, psychotic reaction from the left could lead to ignition instead of collapse.
	So I really don't know.
	What I can tell you is that Steve Bannon is a political prisoner.
	For no reason, for no reason, he is now in prison.
	None.
	Because, you know, we had a guest on the TimCast IRL last week who said it's the norm to defy congressional subpoenas.
	Is that so?
	And if that's the case, why are we looking at this moment with Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon?
	No good answer.
	He said because Bannon's a mobster.
	Give me a reason why Bannon's going to jail!
	Why the American people will now believe that one side is above the law and one side is not.
	I'll tell you where that goes.
	When you have a society that believes Even the innocent will go to jail.
	Then, there's no incentive to be innocent.
	And that's what the Founding Fathers feared.
	And that's why Ben Franklin championed Blackstone's formulation so greatly.
	If it is believed that even if you're innocent, you risk going to jail no matter what you do, there's no incentive to be innocent.
	The only incentive is not getting caught.
	And then, it's a perverse incentive.
	Your incentive structures are built around, what can I do to avoid getting caught for the things that I'm doing?
	Because even if I'm innocent, I'll go to jail anyway.
	And we're starting to see that rise under Democrats, especially with gun laws.
	Well, my friends, I give a shout out to Steve Bannon.
	He's a braver man than I.
	But I suppose in a similar situation, you can only do what you can do, right?
	What else would he do?
	He said, okay.
	They're taking him off the air four months before an election.
	I don't know what to tell you, man.
	I hope Republicans file inherent contempt.
	They vote on it, and they bring Merrick Garland to justice for his crimes, the same as they're claiming they're doing with Steve Bannon.
	Let's play that game.
	That's the game you want to play.
	I'll leave it there.
	Next segment's coming up tonight at 8 p.m.
	over at youtube.com slash TimCastIRL.
