tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Donald Trump has called out Democrat rhetoric as the cause for why he is being shot at.
		In fact, on CNN, you had an FBI, former FBI, saying that this this would be assassin second, technically third.
		was motivated by rhetoric of, from many of these individuals, politically calling, or I should say
		political rhetoric from people calling Donald Trump a fascist and comparing him to Hitler.
		It's been going on since Donald Trump began his campaign back in, I believe, 2015 was the official
		start. There is another instance where in Las Vegas, a man tried to grab a gun from a police
		officer with the intent of ending the life of Donald Trump.
		Now, we never really considered that an assassination attempt.
		It wasn't big news because the guy grabbed the gun was stopped right away and nothing really happened.
		However, two months ago, a bullet was fired, several, at Donald Trump, grazing his ear.
		One, he survives.
		People in the audience, one man did not, several others were critically injured.
		Now, following that, we get even a whiff of an attempted assassination.
		And I just say, we're alert, to put it mildly.
		Well, the media is attacking Donald Trump for this.
		They're saying he shouldn't be saying these things about Democrats.
		He's breaking unity.
		He's inflaming tensions.
		It is laughable.
		I got to tell you that you you actually have.
		A media and a Democrat political apparatus that keeps saying Donald Trump is an extremist, a threat to our country, an existential threat, a threat to democracy.
		And you have people, according to a former FBI agent, CNN airs this saying, that is leading to the attempts on Trump's life.
		And where's the media to say, shut up, Democrats?
		Where's the media to say to all these anti-Trumpers, chill out.
		But when Donald Trump says, these things you keep saying are escalating tensions, they go, Trump, whoa, whoa, calm down.
		Vox.com actually said after the first assassination attempt, this is how you get escalation.
		The assassination attempt is the apex of escalation, and it is caused by the extremist rhetoric of the Democrats and never-Trump-er Republicans.
		Once again, my friends, we have more shocking and breaking news.
		Hillary Clinton coming out and saying Trump's an extremist, he's dangerous, and these propagandists should be criminally charged.
		I kid you not.
		Apparently, she never heard of the First Amendment.
		So we'll talk about that, but we'll get a little fun with it later on because we will talk about the film Am I Racist.
		Look, man, when you're winning, you're winning.
		And right now, the film Am I Racist by Daily Wire, Matt Walsh, which is amazing, by the way, you definitely gotta go see it in theaters.
		The Rotten Tomatoes score for audience, 99%.
		Critics score, blank.
		Because the critics aren't reviewing the film.
		And it's very, very good.
		And then of course we'll talk about Diddy, And what did Diddy do?
		Oh, you can't help it, can you?
		No matter how many times anyone tells this story, they're always going to pull off that Diddy joke.
		Did Diddy do it?
		Well, the grand jury indicted Diddy because they believe Diddy did do it in fact.
		What did Diddy do?
		I can't help it, I'm sorry!
		Diddy's accused of a lot of things.
		We don't know exactly what's going on with the indictment, but he was raided by the feds.
		He's been accused by others of blackmailing people, human trafficking, so it's gonna get pretty wild.
		We'll jump into all of that, but let's get started.
		Before we do, head over to castbrew.com.
		We make coffee, everybody, and everybody loves the coffee.
		Look at Alex Stein screaming like a lunatic in the woods, because he needs Cast Brew coffee!
		We got Alex Stein's primetime grind, two times caffeine.
		You know, when we saw that we could do a two times caffeine coffee blend, the only person that made sense as the face of this would be Alex Stein.
		Just look at his face.
		Yeah, I get it.
		But for those that like a coffee that's not going to hurt your stomach, Ian's Graphene Dream Low Acidity.
		Of course, everyone's favorite Appalachian Nights is readily available.

		Oh man, I just noticed this!
		You know, we don't have the bags of Mr. Bocas, but there still is quite a hefty amount of the Mr. Bocas K-Cups.
	I didn't realize.
	I didn't realize.
	So, uh, oh, well, that makes me feel a little better.

	And perhaps cover those should we get breaking news.
	But for now, let's jump into the first story.
	We have this from the New York Post.
	Trump blames Harris and Biden for second assassination attempt, saying their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at.
	Now, we covered a bit of this last night on Timcast IRL, but with the media's reaction and the hypocrisy, I think it's important to quickly go over Donald J. Trump's website and the point he is making.
	He says, yesterday, the website, I'm sorry, Donald Trump's website says, Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump was the target of a second assassination attempt in as many months.
	Thankfully, the would-be assassin was stopped by the heroic action of law enforcement.
	But make no mistake, this psycho was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their fake news allies for years.
	I'd like to stress this as well, my friends.
	Dave Smith made the point on X. I made the point similarly yesterday on The Morning Show.
	This is a man, the suspect in the assassination attempt, with deep ties to Ukraine, who has praised U.S.
	intelligence actions and other groups seeking to destabilize various countries.
	He has called for extremist things.
	The question is, as Dave Smith puts it, does this man have ties to intelligence or Ukraine?
	Could the Ukrainian government have involvement in wanting to stop Donald Trump?
	Well, as we know, and I reported this yesterday and ad nauseam I reported on the show, Ukraine tried to interfere in the 2016 election in favor of Hillary Clinton to disrupt and sabotage Donald Trump.
	Politico reported that as fact they have never retracted that story.
	I believe their actions resulted in Paul Manafort being indicted and convicted.
	So now, Several years on, do we believe there's a possibility that Ukraine has become even more desperate because should Donald Trump get elected, they lose U.S.
	support?
	It's a possibility.
	Don't know for sure, but it should be investigated.
	Donald Trump on his website lists numerous statements where Democrats have called him an existential threat.
	Okay, what does that mean?
	It means if Donald Trump is to succeed, you cease to exist.
	That is a threat to democracy and possibly the most shocking and egregious.
	Rep Stacey Plaskett says Trump needed to be shot before correcting herself.
	I mean, stopped.
	Now, maybe she just misspoke.
	Maybe some would call that a Freudian slip.
	I don't know.
	But I can tell you this.
	This rhetoric is extreme and over the top.
	They say, meanwhile, the deplorable commentary from Democrats on the fake news in the aftermath of the latest assassination attempt has been even worse.
	After the attempt, Hakeem Jeffries, we must stop Trump.
	Rachel Vindman, no ears were harmed, carry on.
	Mike Sherrill, this really seems to be the confluence of two very bad things going on in the Republican Party.
	The attempts to divide, to enrage the population.
	State Rep.
	Steven Woodrow said the last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil.
	But here we are.
	Lester Holt says, today's apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail.
	Mr. Trump, his running mate J.D.
	Vance, continue to make baseless claims about immigrants.
	I gotta tell you, my mind is blown by the cat-eating story.
	Because Chris Rufo has a video of cats on a grill being cooked from an eyewitness.
	And this video is from a year ago.
	We talked about this yesterday.
	And the media today is claiming it's a racist lie.
	How do we live in this reality?
	How do we get a functioning democracy when the media knows, knows they are lying every single day?
	They don't care.
	They don't care.
	We have to win.
	And what does winning mean?
	Well, I gotta tell you, I think it means cultural victories.
	We need people to look at what the Democrats are offering and say, I am sick of your lies and I don't want to hear it.
	When people stop believing that garbage, the fake news, then we can have a real conversation.
	But take a look at the debates.
	The polls found that independent voters tracked alongside the sentiment of Republican voters.
	Bad news for Democrats.
	Now this is crazy.
	NBC News called it a golf course incident.
	Bloomberg says Trump's seizing an assassination attempt.
	President Trump said it best.
	Because of this communist left rhetoric, the bullets are flying and it will only get worse.
	I fear for the worst.
	I really do.
	The media, they cannot help themselves.
	Someone tried to kill Donald Trump.
	We now have three instances.
	The first one I know most people don't talk about because this man was not, it didn't seem like he was close at all to any kind of real attempt on Trump.
	He tried taking a gun from the holster of a security guard.
	Wouldn't get anywhere close to succeeding.
	Two months ago, Trump was actually struck by a bullet.
	Many people said that we were millimeters away from a civil war.
	Hey, don't look at me!
	I said the words, but I'm not the one who claimed that's where we were going.
	Everybody else now in the media is saying that's how close we were.
	And just a couple of days ago, this man, allegedly Ryan Routh, Was waiting lying in wait in the shrubs in the tree line at Trump's golf course with what I'm told is an SKS rifle and body armor hanging from a fence.
	Secret Service reportedly saw the barrel sticking out of the fence and they're trained to see these to look for these things.
	They opened fire on the would-be assassin who fled.
	Now, Donald Trump, I believe rightly so, says Democrats are pushing this extreme rhetoric every single day.
	Has the media once said Democrats' rhetoric is inflaming tensions?
	Not at all.
	They attack Laura Loomer.
	They're running crazy stories.
	This is absolutely insane.
	Running stories about Laura Loomer being racist and having mean tweets.
	Her tweets are crude and people are mad about them, while the Democrats Prominent officials are saying the most extreme things about the life of Donald Trump and inflaming tensions.
	You can hate Laura Loomer, I guess, but what relevance has she to what's going on?
	She's a prominent Trump supporter.
	She's influential.
	Why is the media going to focus on her?
	It's an attack factor because they hate Donald Trump.
	They're accusing her now of having an affair with Trump and other weird garbled nonsense.
	This is the story they want to run at this time.
	Look what NBC News says.
	Trump dispenses with unity and blames Democrats after apparent second assassination attempt.
	Well, I got to tell you, the Democrats long dispensed with unity.
	How about the very fine people hoax?
	How insane is that?
	You all know I'm preaching to the choir over here.
	But they still run with this.
	Kamala Harris on the debate stage pushed the very fine people hoax.
	It's a hoax!
	How insane is this?
	That they are tricking people by making up fake stories.
	One of the most shockingly egregious going back to the early Trump years.
	The koi fish with Shinzo Abe.
	The ABC camera digitally zooms in on Trump dumping all the fish food into the pond and the media went nuts saying Trump is a moron.
	You're supposed to feed the fish very, very lightly.
	What they did was they edited the video so that you could not see what really happened.
	Shinzo Abe of Japan dumped the koi, he threw the fish food in and then Trump said okay and then did the same thing and they carried on.
	They cut out the fact that Trump was only following the lead of another world leader because they wanted to attack and lie.
	And here's where we are.
	Make no mistake, we all get it.
	It is the media, the democratic media industrial complex.
	NBC News is an apparatus of the Democratic Party and likely intelligence agencies.
	Trump dispenses with unity and blames Democrats after apparent second assassination attempt.
	Any honest media would be coming out saying, Simply, Democrat rhetoric inflames tensions in this country.
	That's it.
	They're going after Donald Trump over this one?
	We got a bit more.
	Post Millennial reported that Trump drops the full receipts.
	We did go over that.
	Here's the New York Times.
	Trump, using harsh language, urges Democrats to tone down theirs.
	Really?
	They cannot help themselves.
	These people have derangement.
	Here's what I think, my friends.
	I think the reality is, many of these individuals, these people in media, they know they're lying.
	They know what they're saying is not true.
	And the people who read this stuff, they don't think otherwise.
	They don't follow the stories.
	They don't pay attention.
	So here we are.
unidentified		I don't know what to say, you know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		I am extremely worried about what we should be doing, what I should be doing, what anyone here at TimCast, what you guys should be doing, what happens to this country should the rhetoric escalate and it come to a point where Donald Trump loses his life or massive waves of far-left terror or who knows what.
		You know, they got all mad.
		The media was reporting, I think the Proud Boys were marching in Springfield, Ohio or something.
		I don't really look into that story.
		I don't know or care.
		The media gets mad about that.
		Right-wingers marching through the streets.
unidentified		That's it.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Nothing happens.
		They don't care about their extremist rhetoric.
		They don't care about the assassination attempts.
		They say this.
		Here we go.
		Here's CNN.
		Trump pivots from second apparent assassination attempt to more incendiary claims.
		That's right.
		Ex-President Donald Trump responded to a second apparent assassination attempt that he blames on incendiary political rhetoric by inflaming the situation even more.
		Are you kidding me with this?
		That he blames on incendiary political rhetoric by inflaming the situation even more.
		They're saying Trump's doing it.
		They are blaming Donald Trump.
		They are saying that Trump is making things worse.
		Look at Vox.
		After the first assassination attempt two months ago, This is how you get escalation.
		Political leaders should try to douse the flames.
		The rights leaders are fanning them.
		Are you kidding me?
		So I don't have to tell you, my friends.
		I can sit here.
		I can tell you that we try our best.
		I can tell you that we want tensions to de-escalate.
		I can beg, beg for these people to stop Just calm down.
		We don't want this.
		You don't want this.
		National divorce, civil war, whatever you want to call it.
		They won't.
		Not only will they continue pushing extremist rhetoric and calling for violence, they will deny that they're doing it.
		And then if anyone points out, like Donald Trump does, stop doing this, you are escalating violence.
		They say, whoa, whoa, Trump, you're escalating violence.
		You better shut up, sit down.
		And what?
		Let these people continue their calls for violence?
		You know, what's fascinating is the left refers to it as stochastic terrorism, but we don't see any on the right.
		They said the right's rhetoric is pushing us towards stochastic terrorism.
		That's what they call it.
		Where is it?
		Where is this far right showing up to the homes of Democrats?
		Elon Musk is currently being investigated.
		Allegedly, by the Secret Service, they're insinuating they're gonna investigate Ellen, because he made a sarcastic point.
		He said that on Twitter, no one was even trying to assassinate Biden or Harris.
		Later said it was a joke, and it didn't come off well, he deleted the tweet.
		But I think he's making a point.
		That whatever it is that Biden and Harris are doing, the extremists are okay with.
		But they're going after Trump.
		Take a look at some of the stories that we have.
		Really dumb conservative columnist on Trump blaming Democrats.
		Okay, there you go.
		Trump dispenses with unity.
		MSNBC, I love this one.
		The problems, they put an S with a parenthesis in it, with Trump blaming Democrats for a parent assassination attempt.
		It's remarkable.
		They can't let it go.
		We have this tweet from Amuse on X. He says, The Dallas Morning News is painting Ryan Routh as a hero and a patriot who stood up for democracy and women's rights.
		Sense of duty apparently drove suspect.
		Background check shows he stood up for Ukraine women, quote, super citizen, they say.
		This was a print paper from Texas.
		That's remarkable, man.
		Look, You know, a lot of you may be wondering, what should we do?
		How do we navigate through this?
		Where are we headed as a country?
		And a lot of people maybe think that I'm crazy for saying I fear that we're heading towards a civil war.
		I don't know.
	I've been saying it for some time now that I fear we're on this track.
	There have been many opportunities for us to, I don't know, get off that track and go somewhere else.
	Unfortunately, now it really does seem that with statements like, you know, Hillary Clinton calling for criminal charges over speech, you can see it happening in the UK.
	We are heading full steam towards authoritarianism.
	The Democrats and the Democrat media industrial complex They keep saying that if Donald Trump wins, it's the end of the Constitution, it's the end of the Republic.
	They keep lying.
	And I think the scary thing is it's completely inverted.
	Donald Trump was already president.
	None of these things happened.
	They say, oh no, if Trump wins, we'll get more authoritarianism.
	Where?
	What?
	What did he do?
	He didn't even call the National Guard to deal with the Summer of Love riots.
	People were basically allowed to romp around and smash and destroy things.
	Yeah, anarcho-tyranny, maybe.
	Where was Trump?
	But Democrats, I tell you this, are calling for the arrest of people over speech.
	are fanning the flames that are pushing us towards the brink.
	J.D.
	Vance addresses Trump assassination attempt in Springfield in lengthy post.
	Now I do think I have J.D.
	Vance's post here somewhere.
	We can just read it straight in full.
	It's a great statement.
	We'll read for you.
	J.D.
	Vance says yesterday Donald J. Trump nearly lost his life.
	An armed gunman waited for him in the bushes.
	He brought a GoPro camera to record it.
	A Secret Service agent spotted the barrel of a gun through a fence and shot at the gunman.
	The gunman fled.
	He was caught.
	And now we slowly learn about him and his motive.
	President Trump is my running mate and my friend, but he's more importantly a father and grandfather to people who love him very much.
	I want him to have many more years with his family, and selfishly I'd like many more with my own.
	I admire the president for calling for peace and calm.
	The rhetoric is out of control.
	It nearly got Steve Scalise and many others killed a few years ago.
	It nearly got Donald Trump killed twice.
	But I want to say something about yesterday's news and how it illuminates the difference between vigorous debate and violent rhetoric.
	Here's what we know so far.
	Kamala Harris has said that democracy is on the line in her race against President Trump.
	The gunman agreed and used the exact same phrase.
	He had a Kamala Harris bumper sticker on his truck.
	He was obsessed with Ukraine's fight for democracy.
	He absorbed many unhinged views about the Russia-Ukraine war.
	His name is Ryan Routh, and he donated 19 times to Democrat causes and zero to Republican ones.
	How do you think the Democrats and their media allies would respond if a 19-time Republican donor tried to kill a Democratic official?
	It's a question that answers itself.
	For years, Kamala Harris' campaign surrogates have said things like, Trump has to be eliminated.
	And how have their media allies responded to the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in as many months?
	NBC News called the attempted assassination a golf club incident.
	The LA Times told us Trump targeted at golf club.
	The USA Today's top-of-the-fold headline is, Hope in America, and they published a preposterous letter to the editor arguing that Trump brings these assassination attempts on himself.
	CNN's Dan Abash, who just yesterday bizarrely accused me of inciting a bomb threat, said today that Harris' campaign rhetoric didn't motivate Routh, even though he echoed their rhetoric explicitly.
	PBS Weekend Show perfectly illustrates the double standard of Kamala Harris' media friends.
	After spending 30 seconds on the second assassination attempt on President Trump, they then focused on the real danger—me and President Trump, who are, according to them, personally responsible for bomb threats against Springfield.
	Of course, I repeatedly condemned those threats, and reports today suggest they came from a foreign country—not, as the media suggested, a deranged Trump fan.
	The double standard is heartbreaking.
	Donald Trump and I are, by their account, directly responsible for bomb threats from foreign countries.
	Why?
	Because we had the audacity to repeat what residents told us about the problems in their town.
	Meanwhile, Harris allies call for Trump to be eliminated as the media publishes arguments that he deserved to be shot.
	This seems like a double standard, but at a deep level it's entirely consistent.
	Consider Springfield.
	Citizens are telling us that there are problems.
	These include the undeniable truths of higher car accidents, unaffordable housing, evictions of residents, overcrowded hospitals, overstressed schools, and rising rates of disease.
	They also include the infamous pet stores, which again, multiple people have spoken about, either on video or to me and my staff.
	Pause.
	Chris Ruvo published a video.
	The video, in fact, was posted to social media one year ago, well before there was any controversy.
	It shows cats or something cat-like on a grill, with a man saying they're grilling cats on the video.
	They interviewed the man, they interviewed the neighbors, they interviewed veterinary surgeons, they interviewed chicken farmers, and they all concluded the same thing.
	Those are cats on the grill.
	And the media still says it's a lie.
	Kamala Harris's first strategy was to ignore these people and their concerns.
	Yes, she had prevented the deportation of millions of illegal aliens, and some of them made their way to Springfield, but it was a small town with no voice.
	Some of the local leadership even loved the cheap labor, so the suffering of thousands of American citizens went ignored.
	The next move with these stories is censorship.
	In Springfield, a psychopath, or a foreign government, calls it a bomb threat.
	So they blame that on President Trump and me.
	The threat of violence is disgraceful, of course, yet the media seems to relish in it.
	They cover a bomb threat, but not the rise in murders.
	They cover the threat, but not the HIV uptick.
	They cover the threat, not the schools overwhelmed with new kids who don't speak English.
	They cover the threat, not the rising insurance rates or the car accidents that caused them.
	They cover the threat, not the failures of Kamala Harris's leadership.
	The purpose is not to turn down the rhetoric.
	If anything, covering the bomb threats gives whoever makes them exactly what he wants, attention.
	The purpose is to distract and shame.
	How dare you talk about the problems of Haitian migration in Springfield?
	You're endangering people simply by discussing the problem of Kamala Harris's policies.
	It's a form of moral blackmail, designed not to make anyone safe, but to shut everyone up.
	Mind you, as many people have criticized what they say, is illegal immigration.
	Just last night, we had Kingsley Wilson on, and she said, in reference to some of these stories, illegal immigrants.
	No, no.
	Many of these individuals are brought in legally through Biden-Harris policy, flown in, brought in, granted work visas, and allowed to move here legally, creating large enclaves where you see people hunting cats.
	That's the report we got with video of cats on the grill.
	Diseases, car accidents, overwhelmed schools.
	People are suffering from this.
	This is not how you handle these issues.
	He was going to say, this is the difference between debate, even aggressive debate, and censorship.
	It is one thing to attack Kamala Harris for destroying the country, and quite another to say that President Trump should be eliminated.
	It is one thing to criticize overheated rhetoric, and another to say that the former president has invited an assassination on himself.
	It is one thing to say Donald J. Trump's arguments about the election in 2020 are wrong.
	It's another thing to attempt to remove him from the ballot over it.
	It is one thing to say that pets are not, in fact, being eaten, and another thing to say that anyone who disagrees is trying to murder people.
	Dissent, even vigorous dissent, is a great tradition of the United States.
	Censorship is not.
	For the next seven weeks of this campaign, I will vigorously defend your right to speak your mind.
	I believe you have every right to criticize me and Donald J. Trump, even if you say terrible or untrue things about us.
	But when I ask you to tone down the rhetoric, it's not about being nice.
	Our citizens have every right to be mean, even if I don't like it or empty platitudes.
	Instead, I'm asking all of us to reject censorship.
	Reject the idea that you can control what other people think and say.
	Embrace persuasion of your fellow citizens over silencing them.
	Either through the powers of big tech, or through moral blackmail.
	I think this will make our public debate much better.
	But there's something else.
	Reject censorship, and you reject political violence.
	Embrace censorship, and you will inevitably embrace violence on its behalf.
	The reason is simple.
	The logic of censorship leads directly to one place.
	For there is only one way to permanently silence a human being.
	Put a bullet in his brain.
	Damn!
	J.D.
	Vance!
	Wow!
	That was a tremendous statement, I gotta say.
	That ending was very powerful.
	I think J.D.
	Vance is great.
	You know, a lot of people criticize him as Trump's choice.
	They say that there were better options.
	There are other people who may have pulled better, that he's unlike... No, I think J.D.
	Vance is a great choice.
	Donald Trump is already as famous as a person can be, if not the most famous person in the world.
	What he needed was a stabilizing force, a calm presence who can speak articulately and be calm and rational.
	Now, they've attacked him over it.
	They've made him outlize as weird.
	That's what they try to claim.
	Jon Stewart with the most pathetic attack.
	I've never seen someone go from, I mean, here's the heir to MAGA and then he comes out and goes, I just don't like cat ladies.
	And I'm like, you don't have anything on him.
	They are desperate to come after JD Vance.
	He goes to buy donuts and he's standing in line and he's like, how's it going?
	Cool.
	Yeah, I'll take one of these.
	And they're like, he's so weird, look at him order donuts.
	Because there was nothing there.
unidentified		And I think that's the point.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You show those videos to a zealot, and they're gonna say, haha, yeah, he's weird, fine, whatever.
		You show it to a moderate, and they're gonna be like, I have no idea what you're talking about.
		I looked at that video, I don't know what you're talking about, guys.
		I don't even really care.
		You know, Donald Trump comes out the other day and says, I hate Taylor Swift.
		We all roll our eyes.
		But in reality, it's just like, Are moderates going to pay attention to that?
		Do they even really care?
		And I got to say, I think the answer is they don't.
		Sure, we can go, ah, it's kind of cringe when Trump does these things, but I don't think anybody actually cares.
		I don't think they do.
		So I don't know what's going to happen, but I tell you this, you know, we have that conspiracy theory that it's my, it's my conspiracy theory because, you know, I think one conspiracy theory is not enough.
unidentified		You have to go double conspiracy theory.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		So the conspiracy theory they say is that the deep state is after Trump to shut him down.
		And, you know, I don't consider that a conspiracy.
		We're watching the deep state do these things.
		We're looking at intelligence agencies trying to lock up Trump.
		No, my conspiracy theory is Donald Trump is the plan.
		Let me tell you.
		I wish this were the case.
		I really do.
		Because I don't think it is.
		But if there was a conspiracy theory, I wish it was that the deep state was concerned that there was a growing anti-America sentiment in this country, with Occupy Wall Street, with the WTO protests, and with the Bush protests.
		People were becoming anti-America, anti-American flag, burning the American flag.
		And they thought to themselves, how do we get People to salute the flag, to say the Pledge of Allegiance, to like this country so that we can win.
		And so the Deep State said, we're going to need a double-layer conspiracy.
		First, we need a celebrity who's charismatic.
		Then, we use institutions to attack and demonize him, despite his policies being popular among the American people.
		And where are we today?
		Long story short, if you were to, look, if 14 years ago, You were to come to me and say, in 10 years, Alex Jones will be praising the President of the United States and defending him.
		And that you'd get Luke Rutkowski to say that he's voting for a Republican president, I'd say, absurd, good sir, absurd!
		I reject those ridiculous notions.
		And here we are today, Alex Jones and Luke Rutkowski.
		Alex Jones, since 2016, he's been like, Trump's the real deal, he's the guy.
		They got conspiracy theory Alex Jones to praise the Republican nominee who became president.
		Now, I don't think it's true.
		I wish it was.
		You know why I wish it was?
		Because it means Trump's going to win.
		And I like Trump's policies.
		They're good policies.
		And he does reinvigorate many Americans who were liberal and were critical of the United States.
		They're now supportive of it.
		They want to see a restoration of the Constitution.
		They want to see securing of our borders.
		They want to see jobs brought back.
		Things that will strengthen this country.
		That's what I want to see.
		Unfortunately, Trump doesn't want all of these wars.
		He wants peace.
		And we know what the Deep State really wants.
		They want international hegemonic power.
		That's why, unfortunately, I don't believe the conspiracy theory is true.
		Unfortunately, unfortunately.
		Now, currently, what do we get?

tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Secret Service reported, they say this, look, the Secret Service said on Monday it's investigating Elon Musk.
		For a tweet that questioned the absence of assassination attempts against Joe Biden-Kamala Harris.
		This is kind of silly, I've got to be honest.
		Elon Musk said, and no one is even trying to assassinate Biden-Kamala.
		He then deleted it, he said later, I don't think he should have taken it down.
		is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn't mean it's going
		to be all that hilarious as opposed to on X.
		I don't think he should have taken it down.
		I don't—I think maybe—I think his point is obvious.
		Of course he's getting attacked.
		He's not calling for assassination of anybody.
		He's pointing out that the people who oppose Biden-Kamala do not believe in violence, do not want violence.
		Nobody wants to go that far, but they're going after Trump.
		He's making a point about rhetoric on the right and what conservatives, Republicans, and moderates in this country believe.
		We do not believe in violence.
		I firmly believe not, I will tell you this, it is not that I fear that violence will threaten my way of life and that it's wrong or that people will get arrested and the deep state will go after everybody.
		No, no, I'll tell you this, the reason why we don't want violence, obviously I will say it's illegal, duh, we get that, and we don't want escalation because it can lead to bad things for us, but there's one really simple reason we don't want any of it, it's ineffective.
		It makes martyrs of political figures.
		I want, as a human being, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to enjoy their lives, but just get out of politics.
		And that's true for many other Democrats.
		Get out of politics.
		Go enjoy your lives.
		The politicians that commit crimes, we can charge, have trials, get evidence, arrest, etc., etc.
		But for the people I don't like, Nancy Pelosi, it's time to retire.
		Just go home.
		Just go home.
		Live your life.
		Be happy.
		That's what I want for all of them.
		I want Joe Biden to sit in his rocking chair, sipping a nice sun tea at Rehoboth Beach, enjoying himself.
		I don't want violence or anything like that.
		Politically, strategically, I can tell you this, it does not work.
		It doesn't.
		You need only look at Black Lives Matter in 2020.
		They were enjoying around 51% approval.
		Massive net support.
		The whole country was basically lining up behind Black Lives Matter.
		And then, they rioted.
		And their approval rating collapsed.
		Everybody said, I hate this.
		They're destroying businesses.
		They're destroying families.
		They're destroying homes.
		And that's what you get.
		For what reason did they have the violence?
		Now I'll tell you this.
		George Floyd died.
		And the death, publicized, launched that woke ideology into the high heavens.
		But these people couldn't help themselves, because they're lunatics.
		So they got violent, they smashed, they destroyed, they took over city streets.
		And their approval collapsed.
		And so be it.
		They don't deserve the support if that's the rhetoric they hold, if that's the ideas they believe in, in violence.
		But that just shows you, right now, Donald Trump is facing his technically third assassination attempt, but two in two months.
		And what's happening?
		The media is blaming him.
		The media's blaming him.
unidentified		Why?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		They have to.
		They have to.
		But it's not going to work.
		Now they're coming after Elon Musk for making this point.
		I think it's getting crazy out there, my friends.
		I think you knew it was going to get crazy.
		I think we can expect it to get crazier.
		And I am deeply concerned about where we go in this country if this is the case.
		You know, I've been talking about civil war quite a bit.
		Quite a bit.
		The next story I have for you guys, Hillary Clinton calls for charging Americans for spreading propaganda.
		Are we on track for a civil war?
		Well, Russia certainly thinks so.
		They keep saying it.
		And the media has now been entertaining this question.
		In fact, Time Magazine says we are.
		So people look at me and they want to say, oh Tim, you're crazy or whatever.
		It's never going to happen.
		Maybe I can tell you after the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in two months, we are dangerously close to something.
		I don't need to say it.
		I'll let the media say it for me.

		Is that true?
		I don't know if I believe that.
		Let's see.
		Okay, so this is from February.
		Israel made Pegasus spyware, was used in Jordan to hack the cell phones of at least 30 people, so that's nothing to do with remotely blowing anything up.
		Cybersecurity says, how could—oh, this is interesting.
		Reddit, how could Israel remotely blow up pagers?

		Let's see.
		So a military analyst told Al Jazeera that Hezbollah relies heavily on pagers to prevent Israel from intercepting their communications, and he speculated the pagers would have had to have been tampered with.
		So I'm not seeing any news stories.
		Let me see if I can find some news stories.

		All right.
		JTS, did you see DeSantis just held a press conference where he said that Florida will be doing their own investigation into the assassination attempt?
		I saw he was doing a press conference.
		I assume that would be the case.
		He did announce this on X. Jessica Zamfiri says, is there any rules or regulations the FCC could use to go after these corporate news companies for this rhetoric?
		I know we have the First Amendment, but these companies are spreading radicalism and something should be done.

		We must prepare ourselves.
		Let's jump to this story, so that I can, uh, I'll answer this super chat, uh, in this segment.
		In a story from the post-millennial, Hillary Clinton says Trump is dangerous just one day after a second assassination attempt.
		Suggests charging Americans for spreading propaganda.
		Here's the video.
		Listen to it for yourself.
unidentified		And boosting Trump back in 2016.
		But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.
		And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence than boosting Trump.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		A better deterrence?
		Hillary Clinton suggests jailing Americans for posting what she called propaganda.
		There's a big question about where all of this is going.
		Let me just stress, MSNBC Hillary Clinton, following the second assassination attempt on Trump, had the gall to say Trump is dangerous and that people who are spreading propaganda perhaps should face civil or criminal penalties.
		What do you think would happen if the Democrat government started going around arresting people for speech?
		Now let me tell you, you know, part of me would love to agree with Hillary Clinton because they're the ones that are actually spreading the lies, manipulation, and propaganda.
		Yeah, but that's no good.
		It doesn't work that way.
		It just doesn't.
		If we are to agree with them, they just weaponize it against us.
		The question remains, though, what happens to a country if political leaders begin arresting and rounding up people for dissent?
		Don't take my word for it.
		Time Magazine.
		Time Magazine writes, The U.S.
		is heading toward a second civil war.
		Here is how we avoid it.
unidentified		That's right.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Tim Pool, in fact, did not say it.
		He's just reading the headline.
		But you know, this story, which is from October of 2022, two years ago, this story was written well before There was a bullet that grazed the ear of Donald Trump.
		At the time, he was the frontrunner for the presidency.
		He was beating Biden in the polls.
		Shortly after, Biden drops out of the race.
		Trump was right back at work.
		Do you think things have gotten calmer?
		Two years ago, when Time Magazine said that we were heading towards a civil war, have things gotten more violent and dangerous?
		Have things calmed down.
		No sane person could agree that after what just happened with Donald Trump, things have gotten better.
		And that worries me.
		That's very worrying.
		Hillary Clinton.
		Wanting people to go to jail.
		Maddow asked Clinton if she had an antidote for the media to realize that the more offensive he is, the more he can dominate the media space entirely.
		Clinton responded that his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world, she told Maddow, sadly the press is still not able to cover Trump the way that they should.
		They careen from one outrage to the next.
		What was outrageous three days ago is no longer on the front pages, even though it threatens the physical safety of so many people.
		Particularly, as you point out, immigrants that he and Vance have decided to demonize.
		I want to tell you where we're at, my friends.
		The Biden-Harris administration has brought in hundreds of thousands of migrants from select areas, Haiti being one of them.
		15,000 of these individuals were placed in a very Trump-heavy small district in Ohio, Springfield, Ohio, primarily affected.
		Now, the rhetoric that we're hearing is the Biden-Harris administration are placing many of these migrants with a path to amnesty and citizenship, voting rights, in heavily Trump areas.
		This way, after one election cycle, they will vote and likely vote Democrat because Democrats will promise them benefits.
		It's not a solution to any problem.
		It's certainly not any kind of long-term solution.
		In fact, it's long-term degradation.
		Democrats may end up winning, but what I believe they are doing with these plans is twofold.
		I believe Democrats are panicking.
		Not just Democrats, but also never-Trumper Republicans.
		The petrodollar is dying.
		We need more jobs.
		The jobs report needs to show more jobs are created, but how do you do that?
		How do you do that without more people?
		People need to start companies.
		Companies need to employ.
		Fertility rate is below replacement.
		Quite a bit, actually.
		So they bring in these migrants, give them work permits.
		They allow illegal immigrants to flood the border, give them work permits.
		This allows them to fluff and pad the jobs numbers.
		But it displaces low-skill labor, meaning working-class Americans are going to be negatively impacted.
		It's going to drive inflation.
		It's going to cause a massive divide between the wealthy and the poor.
		But they also place these individuals in areas that vote for Trump.
		So twofold.
		You will have large swaths of conservative, America-loving individuals who are now going to live in areas surrounded by migrants with work permits, and this will cause a rift in their ability to vote for who they want and for people like Trump to win.
		You know, I have to wonder, how many illegal immigrants are in this country?
		There's wide estimates, 10 to 20 million perhaps, and they don't have to vote in the elections.
		Their presence gives an electoral vote and a congressional vote to blue states.
		That means they are voting effectively because we don't win elections by popular vote.
		Imagine a country where the natural-born American citizen, expecting their birthright, which they are entitled to and deserve, sees it ripped away by people who came here illegally, committed crimes.
		Some continue to do so and they won't be deported.
		You want to talk about civil war?
		That's your recipe for civil war.
		The State Department's disinfo effort is a pro-censorship sham.
		We know this.
		But why is this happening again?
		We know the State Department was trying to shut down what they call disinformation.
		They say it's using taxpayer money to smear its critics.
		A bombshell committee on small business report confirmed the reporting of independent journalist Matt Taibbi and The Examiner.
		The federal government has fueled a censorship ecosystem impacting not only individuals' First Amendment rights, but the ability of certain small businesses to compete online.
		One group, Global Disinformation Index, created a blacklist of conservative publications for advertisers to avoid smearing the post and other major news outlets as risky possible spreaders of false info.
	I think it's fairly obvious what's happening.
	But let's talk about it.
	Newsweek says, Putin ally predicts U.S.
	will collapse in imminent new civil war.
	Well, I gotta tell you, they want that to happen.
	They absolutely do.
	So, without getting into too much detail for legal reasons, In areas in which I will stress, because people don't want to hear it, but I am a victim and things are happening behind the scenes.
	The goal of Vladimir Putin and the Russian state is to inflame tensions.
	To make sure that there is a culture clash in this country.
	They don't care about supporting causes.
	Putin is not your friend.
	There's a lot of people who go online and claim that Putin is defending Christianity.
	No, he's not.
	Maybe in Russia, whatever.
	Believe whatever you want to believe.
	But he's intent on destabilizing the United States, the petrodollar, and it is subterfuge and warfare against the United States.
	Newsweek says, Former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, issued a warning on Saturday predicting the U.S.
	will collapse in an imminent new civil war amid this year's election over Russian sanctions.
	Blah, blah, blah, they say.
	In a Saturday Telegram message, Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, spoke about the current political climate of the U.S., the 2024 presidential race, which will see Trump go up against Harris.
	Out of spite for the current administration, Donald Trump has threatened to lift sanctions against Russia.
	But will he really do it if elected?
	No, of course not.
	For all his apparent bravado as an outsider, Trump is ultimately an established insider.
	Yes, he's an eccentric narcissist, but he's also a pragmatist.
	As a businessman, Trump understands that sanctions harm the dollar's dominance in the world.
	However, that's insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the United States and go against the anti-Russia line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump.
	But what about Harris?
	You shouldn't expect any surprises from her.
	She is inexperienced and according to her enemies just plain stupid.
	Beautiful, meaningless speeches and boring correct answers to questions will be prepared for her, which she will read off a teleprompter while laughing contagiously.
	There were sanctions against the USSR throughout the 20th century, and they returned on an unprecedented scale on the 21st.
	So it's sanctions forever.
	Or rather, until the US collapses during an imminent new civil war.
	After all, Hollywood makes films about this for a reason.
	So maybe he's not saying it actually goes there.
	But I think many people believe this is the direction that we are headed.
	Time Magazine.
	They write.
	And this is back in 2022, mind you.
	Early this summer I emailed a neighbor of mine, whom we'll call David, and asked him to go for a walk with me in the park.
	Although we had lived in the same building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for more than a decade, we had previously only shared pleasantries with one another in the elevator.
	But this neighbor's political views diametrically opposed my own.
	Given the dire, toxic, runway path to civil war our nation is currently on, and as a professed conflict mediator, bipartisan bridge builder, and depolarization pundit, I felt it incumbent on me to try my best to walk my talk.
	My spouse also talked me into doing it.
	He was gonna say, when I greeted David in front of our building, he also appeared ill at ease.
	Nevertheless, we headed toward the park for a brief jaunt.
	Anxiety in tow.
	On our way, we chit-chatted about our families, and then explained to him my reason for reaching out.
	I said that I was increasingly worried about the political divisions in our country and the growing odds of extreme violence.
	I was doing my utmost to better understand different perspectives on the situation.
	He replied, You mean you don't know any Republicans you can talk to?
	When I hesitated, he added, Any Republicans that like Trump, that is.
	That's about right, I admitted.
	Then he told me about his upbringing.
	He explained that he is a devout Orthodox Jew born in northeastern France to Talmudic nobility.
	His grandfather was a village physician and founder of a temple in the Alsace region.
	He was raised in the UK and holds deep conservative values emanating from his religious convictions and his success in global business.
	I then offered a bit of my own background, a Catholic born Irish and French Huguenot Huguenot, with Chicago, I'm pronouncing that wrong too, probably, Democratic working class roots, who, much to his astonishment, married a one-half Jew.
	David inquired about my wife, his wife's mother was Jewish, and he exclaimed, so your children are Jewish?
	They are, I replied.
	The facts seemed to register.
	Soon after, we turned to politics.
	I asked him if he would tell me how he came to support Trump, and he said he'd be happy to.
	My neighbor told me his thoughts on the underappreciated accomplishments of Trump, and of the relentless trials and tribulations he had suffered from the mainstream media and other liberal hacks.
	He said he had great respect for Trump's business acumen and executive approach to governing, and that Trump's attitudes on cultural issues were very much aligned with the orthodox conservatism of his particular branch of Judaism.
	As he spoke, David became increasingly animated and agitated, picking up the pace of our walk.
	He said he believed Obama had dangerously deteriorated America's standing in the world until Trump put a stop to it.
	He thought that George Soros was individually responsible for the extreme levels of violent crime and discrimination against minorities in our society.
	I had tried to prepare for our walk, anticipating an awkward and potentially volatile visit.
	I did a reflection exercise on my intentions for our time together, which prioritized the goals, listen openly, and learn from him.
	Avoid becoming too defensive and reactive.
	I'd also reviewed a chart on the critical differences between debate and dialogue, the latter being more a process of discovery than a win-lose game.
	He goes on to say, eventually he concluded, should Trump run for president again in 2024?
	Probably not.
	With the stupid moves he's made, like going after dead war heroes, John McCain in Arizona, Should he run again in 2024?
	Probably not.
	Well, Trump is.
	We know that now.
	He was going to say, Willie, I doubt it, but maybe he should.
	About this time, I reminded David that he might want to get back and check in on his
	wife.
	He said, we can go for a few more blocks.
	He was going to say, as we stepped in the elevator together, he glanced at the back
	cover of the book and said, yes, I don't know what we're going to do about this polarization.
	It seems to get worse and worse.
	But when you feel so passionate about what's going on, it's hard to stop or know what to do.
	I said, I think we need to try to do... What we need to try to do is what you and I just did.
	Meet as often as possible.
	Okay, so what, right?
	Big deal.
	So I took a walk in the park.
	He says, is this what we'll take to avert another civil war?
	Not a chance.
	He says it was a warm-up exercise, a slight adjustment, hopefully for us both.
	It was just one aspect of a month-long experiment that a small group of worried, well-intentioned Americans piloted together this past summer.
	I'm a researcher who studies what it takes for deeply divided societies like ours to change course for the better.
	A group of my former students and colleagues came together virtually over the four weeks in July to try out a series of exercises and activities gleaned from this research.
	I can tell you exactly this.
	He says, Perhaps the most concerning.
	A survey published last fall found that 80% of Biden voters and 84% of Trump voters view elected officials from the other party as presenting a clear and present danger to American democracy.
	It also reported that 41% of Biden voters and 52% of Trump voters favor red or blue states seceding from the Union to form their own separate country.
	With 30% of Republicans and 11% of Democrats ready to resort to violence To save the country.
	The funny thing is they say that about Republicans.
	I hear this all the time and yet it is consistently the left that is engaging in violence.
	Why?
	Because the left that will passively support Democrats don't claim to be Democrats.
	Regardless, I tell you this.
	It's fascinating to see this story where they say we have to come together and have these conversations.
	How do we get so dividers?
	How do we get so divided?
	Mentioning small and large drivers.
	Here's a dimension.
	Macro dividers.
	You ready for this one?
	Our 400-year-old legacy of white supremacy.
	Full stop.
	And there it is.
	I'll tell you this, my friends.
	I can break it down for you.
	It started in the mid-2000s.
	It started with the internet.
	The seeds of this mass division.
	And what I can tell you is this man and these people have, well some people call it the woke mind virus.
	I would refer to it as they are living in a paranoid delusional state crafted by algorithms which blinds them from seeing reality.
	Let me explain.
	Some of you may have heard this but I will, for those that haven't, this may be enlightening.
	Or maybe I'm just a crackpot and I'm wrong about everything.
	But I've had many conversations, perhaps the best conversation in this area, the most important, was my conversation with Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, over what they referred to as intersectionality, or wokeness essentially, as a non-theistic religion.
	Peter Boghossian believes, smart man by the way, that the origin of these ideologies come from the universities, that the universities were crafting and seeding these ideas which ultimately resulted in what we see today, wokeness.
	He is incorrect.
	What he is talking about, this ideology of critical race theory, critical gender theory, critical ideologies, that we have been critical of, is only one small component of what I describe as wokeness.
	Wokeness to me is easily defined as adherence to modern liberal social orthodoxy.
	That's why woke people will be pro-war but anti-war at the same time.
	What do I mean by that?
	Hassan Piker being a great example.
	He will defend our involvement in the Ukraine war while seemingly, in the same sentence, criticizing the military-industrial complex.
	It's paradoxical.
	These things don't follow a logical pathway.
	And the man did this, criticizing a song that I had produced that was as critical of war and revolution in general.
	He said something, you know, I made a video commenting on something he said.
	I said, I agree.
	The military-industrial complex is bad.
	Why are we giving $200 billion to Ukraine?
	He then laughs as if it was a bad idea.
	He says, yo, this guy's really just saying let Ukraine go on their own.
	Like, what?
	Is there a difference between the military-industrial complex in the Middle East versus Ukraine?
	Well, to someone who is deeply entrenched in paradoxical adherence, cult-like adherence to liberal social orthodoxy, Logic doesn't matter.
	All that matters is that you say the things that the cult wants said, even if they don't logically connect.
	It's a hodgepodge.
	I can tell you how we got to this point.
	Starts it with the internet.
	The internet, of course, in the early days, for those that are familiar with it, was wild.
	Bolton board systems, chat groups, um... What did we have?
	We had IRC chat.
	I remember being on IRC.
	That was fun.
	That's how we used to play Magic the Gathering online, mind you, with Apprentice.
	That's what the app was called.
	You'd go on IRC, you'd say, anyone looking for a game?
	And then you'd connect and be like, let's play!
	And it was fun.
	Play Magic online.
	Man, what year was this?
unidentified		Like 2000? 2001?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Well, social media emerged.
		And what ends up happening in the early days of social media was that people started to adopt the internet more and more.
		Now, mobile phones play a big role in this too, but I'll get to that.
		Ultimately, what happens is the market starts shifting from television, which is hyper-centralized media narratives going out to tens of millions of people, to the Internet.
		People begin reading websites like the Huffington Post instead of the New York Times, online-only platforms.
		These platforms have low overhead and are able to survive with very low revenue.
		You don't need massive startup costs or big investment like you would need for a newspaper.
		However, with mass adoption comes an interesting phenomenon.
		At a certain point, Facebook realized that the most amount a person could absorb is having around 300 friends on Facebook or liked posts would result in your feed moving too quickly for you to actually see or engage with anything meaningfully.
		This presented a problem.
		In the early days of Facebook, you'd see the posts in reverse chronological order.
		Your friend would post something, you'd see it.
		You'd then interact with it.
		But people had relatively few friends.
		I mean, in the early days, it was like 100, 200.
		So you could keep up with what people were posting.
		Then we got pages, brands, bands, media companies, whatever, and you'd like what they were posting.
		But eventually, people got to over 300 connections, and the posts were moving so quickly, people weren't seeing the people they liked anymore, and this threatened the business.
		This is when the algorithms were introduced.
		Facebook decided we need to create something that chooses the best of the content so that people stay on the website longer.
		And so they did.
		They programmed algorithms that, such as Facebook and all these companies, they programmed algorithms that basically said, of all of the things being posted, show people what is most likely to get engagement.
		In the early days of YouTube, this resulted in every thumbnail being a woman in a bikini.
		I am not exaggerating.
		Take a look at all the early videos.
		All the big YouTubers in the early days, when they were getting started, their thumbnails would be women in a bikini.
		Many channels developed massive followings with fake thumbnails.
		YouTube eventually said, hey, no fake thumbnails, we'll ban you for this.
		Because they were trying to create an algorithm that would show you what you wanted to see, but they couldn't.
		Here's where it goes.
		Eventually, what happens?
		Well, there's a great video I often cite by CGP Grey, one of the OG YouTubers, called something to the effect of like, this video will make you angry, or something to that effect.
		It talks about how anger is the most likely to induce a reaction on social media.
		So what happens then is, these media websites, like the Huffington Post, like Mike.com, like BuzzFeed, figure out.
		In the early days, it was listicles and cats.
		These are the things that everyone thought would go viral online.
		Charlie bit my finger, things like that.
		The old memes, if you remember them all.
		But eventually they realized, hey, we wrote an article about police brutality.
		We got a million views.
		People don't like injustice.
		It makes them angry and they're likely to interact with it because they want to be good.
		One by one, these platforms started to adopt this.
		In fact, libertarians Who never really cared about social justice issues, all of a sudden couldn't stop talking about racism.
		You see, it started with some libertarians, as police brutality is wrong.
		They would post these videos of mocking feds, of doing 1A or 2A audits, and then they'd find these pages that when you got a video of a cop stopping a guy, or harassing a guy, you'd get a million views.
		A million views is cash in the bank.
		But then they figured something out.
		If the person was black and it was racist, they got a bigger reaction.
		One by one, these media companies began to post these things about racism.
		Racism is bad.
		Why?
		This buzzword was generating tons of traffic for them.
		But then they discovered something very interesting.
		You see, the way the algorithms work, it's exponential returns.
		YouTube even tells you this when you make videos.
		They say, You got more clicks on this video resulting in more recommendations.
		Well, guess what?
		More recommendations mean more clicks.
		It's a snowball rolling down a hill.
		The more clicks you get, the more clicks you're gonna get, the faster you rise in the algorithm.
		What happens? These companies figure out that, hey, if I write about sexism, I get X views.
		If I write about racism, I get Y views. But if you write about racist sexism, you get XY views.
		That is not X plus Y. That is X times Y, an algorithmic boost. The more views you get,
	you exponentially increase the return on your views, resulting in the rise of intersectionality.
	One by one, every single one of these news websites all over the world saw a massive increase in social justice, racism, sexism, police brutality.
	Countries that for no reason have nothing to do with Americans' history on racism started having BLM protests because the media outlets saw that American social media algorithms were promoting articles about American issues.
	What does this do?
	A couple things.
	Largely, conservatives weren't following these stories.
	Many of these conservatives were pro-cop.
	The bifurcation had begun.
	More importantly, many of them weren't using these social media platforms in the same way.
	There were many rural communities with weaker internet, so they weren't as active online as urban communities.
	I'm talking about very early days of internet.
	I'm not talking, you know, I'm talking about 2000s.
	Cell phone coverage is the key component.
	Well, today you have cell phone coverage basically everywhere the bifurcation was created.
	There always was going to be one between Democrats and Republicans, that's obvious, with their disagreements, and the Internet's only inflamed tensions.
	I will jump back now to this article to bring it all together.
	This man talking about how we are heading towards a civil war in 2022 claims that one of the driving forces is 400-year legacy of white supremacy.
	This person is suffering from deep delusions.
	That's just true.
	Now, of course, the left and the woke will say, no, you're wrong, Tim.
	This country is white supremacist.
	It's just not true.
	It's just fundamentally false.
	The evidence?
	Well, it's called controls in science.
	We can take a look at every other country and how they treat foreigners, ethnic minorities, and you can see the United States actually has one of the best track records opposing racism and guaranteeing civil rights.
	This history of white supremacy is a fabrication, an amalgam of garbled nonsense meant to generate clicks.
	I'll give you a simple version of it.
	Um, uh, there are a bunch of stories, uh, Elsagate being the easiest way to understand this.
	If you're not familiar with Elsagate, it was a period in YouTube history that goes down in infamy, where millions upon millions of views were generated in these Benny Hill-style silent videos of the Joker, Spider-Man, and Elsa chasing each other around.
unidentified		It was really weird.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		The algorithm recommended long-form videos with these characters in it because children liked them.
		And so the reaction was, people discovered, if I make a video with Elsa, Spider-Man, and the Joker, I'm gonna get a million views, and I'm gonna make 20 grand.
		So they would.
		Understand this.
		Ask yourself why it is.
		There were so many finger family videos, they call it.
		Because people crack the algorithm to get views, to figure out how to make money.
		They figure out what the algorithm wants, and they make it.
		And that is what has created this harsh divide in this country, which is driving us, in my opinion, towards civil war.
		Hillary Clinton, in her delusional mind, is now saying that people who oppose this, who are on the other side, should be arrested and charged.
		So there's no... there's no... off-ramp.
		The only way out of this is going to be a harsh political victory of Donald Trump.
		It's true.
		Democrats largely live in a deluded state.
		Now, of course, I'm sorry.
		Some will say, Tim, you're biased.
		You're a Republican.
		You're far-right.
		Blah, blah, blah.
		There's a video from Christopher Rufo of Cats on a Grill.
		The media today says it's fake.
		The corporate press says J.D.
		Vance and Trump lied about it.
		Chris Rufo has a guy on the record, more than one, saying they've seen it.
		He has video of it.
		He found the grill.
		But none of that really matters.
		That's his report.
		Maybe he's a liar.
		I don't know.
		It's possible.
		But we watched the video.
unidentified		I don't know what else to tell you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You know, at a certain point, we all are going to decide what we think is true.
		But I'm going to have to go with there's a bunch of people complaining about this problem.
		There's a video of it happening.
		People have posted online for years about eating cats in Haiti, but the media would tell you not to believe your lying eyes.
		For these Democrats who live in this, in this world, where they watch CNN and MSNBC all day, I don't see how meaningful change comes so long as this bifurcated reality continues to exist.
		The people who believe that we live in a 400 year old legacy of white supremacy, how we got so divided, can you believe this?
		This is what Time Magazine is claiming.
		They're not going to be convinced otherwise.
		They live and breathe the lies.
		Which says to me, we're heading towards something calamitous.
		I could be wrong about everything.
		I hope I am.
		I hope that in a couple years, maybe I'm sitting in a lounge chair eating buffalo chicken wings.
		Watching, I don't know, the X Games or something.
		Snowboarding, perhaps.
		Donald Trump is shaking hands with Democrat House leader whatever and, uh, you know, tax policy is being debated.
		Wars are simmering down.
		People in this country are like, man, that was a crazy time.
		That was a crazy time.
		Civil strife does not always lead to civil war.
		The civil rights era was largely considered a period of civil strife in the United States, and it did not result in a civil war.
		That being said, in our lifetime, I don't think things have ever been this bad.
		So we'll see.
		If you think I'm wrong, give me the superchats.
		Tell me why you think I'm wrong, because I hope I am.
		I really do.
		For now, I can tell you this.
		I'm just some dude who reads the news.
		I complain on the internet, read the news, and give you my thoughts.
		Maybe everything I'm breaking down is just not correct, but I'll wrap it up there.

		Hundreds of Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon mass patriot attack.
		This story's crazy!
		Man, I was going to talk about, am I racist?
		I'm going to bring a little optimism to you.
		But we'll talk about this next, and we will read your superchats, which are coming in wildly, wildly, superchats, pouring in, pouring in.
		Let's go.
		All right, addressing Gettysburg, this is a superchat I read just before the show.
		He says, he says, many people I talk to believe that we're in 1860, and these attempts to push us closer to it, we must temper ourselves.
		These are attempts to push us closer to it.
		Let me tell you, my friends, Read about the Civil War.
		I am no Civil War historian or expert, but I have read a handful, just a handful, of academic articles on the matter.
		I've gone to several museums and talked with some of the local historians about these things, and you'll learn a lot of things.
		I went to an aquarium where I saw a presentation on a sunken ironclad, and it was really amazing.
		Learning about the ironclad was amazing.
		The history of the Civil War is crazy.
		There's so much.
		So much.
		But I'll tell you this.
		We say the Civil War began.
		1861, the Battle of Fort Sumter.
		What happened?
		Well, in South Carolina, they said, Union soldiers, you best get.
		Union soldiers says, ain't no way, this is federal property.
		South Carolina says, we ain't a part of no union no more.
		You better get.
	They didn't.
	So a battle ensued.
	But nobody died.
	The story goes, they were not trying to kill each other.
	There was one casualty, but it was an accidental death.
	I think it was like some guy lit up a cannon and killed himself.
	We say that's when the Civil War started, don't we?
	We sure do.
	However, for the people at the time in this country, they didn't.
	They still thought there was no Civil War.
	So the first Battle of Bull Run, people are sitting on the hillside, picnicking, laughing.
	There's not going to be a war.
	There is no Civil War.
	Now hold on there a minute.
	Picnicking?
	There's not going to be a Civil War.
	Our history books tell us the Civil War already started, and y'all didn't realize it?
	Of course they didn't realize it.
	You don't know.
	You don't know.
	Should this escalate, they could argue that the Civil War started in 2016.
	They can say, with the election of Donald Trump and the accusations of being a Russian spy and the impeachments, the country began to quickly spiral out of control.
	They could say the Summer of Love riots.
	They could say Occupy.
	I doubt Occupy.
	That's 13 years ago.
	I doubt it.
	They might say January 6 is when it started.
	And it'll be funny.
	They'll say January 6, 2021, this thing happened, which resulted in widespread violence and blah, blah, blah.
	I'm talking about how they frame it.
	But I don't know.
	That was three years ago.
	We don't know.
	We don't.
	Bleeding Kansas happened.
	It's entirely possible that whatever happens in 49 days could lead to something rather dramatic.
	But I'll tell you this.
	Before Abraham Lincoln even got inaugurated, several states seceded from the Union.
	He had won the election.
	I believe it was seven states immediately seceded.
	Four that later joined the Confederacy decided not to.
	It's possible that Trump wins.
	We see some dramatic action.
	Nobody thinks a civil war is happening.
	Some conflict ensues between the state and the federal government with Trump as president-elect.
	Donald Trump is inaugurated.
	And we don't realize it.
	We don't see it.
	All right, let's grab a couple more Super Chats.
	Haley's Comment says, News is now reporting over 1,000 injured.
unidentified		Fox.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Kumon and Gitsum says, is this what the CIA was warning about?
		Wow, this is absolutely crazy, man.
		SR20 says they don't hack the pager or phone set them off.
		They send out a burst signal to pagers and phones to set off IEDs attached to them.
		That could, that seems to make more sense.
		I don't know that with what a phone is, it can blow up.
		These pages may be different, but I know that the phones can burst into flames and cause serious damage.
		I wouldn't call it an explosion.
		All right.
		Addressing Gettysburg says, Damn typos.
		I said that I studied the Civil War and ended with, We must temper ourselves.
		Appreciate it, appreciate it.
		All right, here we go.
		Barrett says, Tim, incorrect.
		In an argument with a sophomore in high school in 1989 with a college professor, he argued that white people invented race and slavery, that society was white supremacy.
		It was Augsburg College in Minnesota.
		I still remember his name.
		So let me explain to you.
		It may certainly be correct that critical theories and ideologies emerged in universities, but it is not why they are prevalent in society.
		There are many ideologies that exist at universities.
		That has become more dominantly left because young people's perception is shaped by the internet.
		If you're nine years old, and you get on Facebook, you're not supposed to, but you do, what do you see?
		Racism, racism, racism.
		Democrats are the only ones suggested.
		You live your life this way for ten years where the only thing you see is news saying racism, racism, racism.
		Those ideologies become ingrained in you.
		That is the world you see, you can't see anything else.
		You're now an adult, and you're wondering why it is, why this world is so racist.
		It's not.
		But you haven't seen anything.
		You haven't learned anything.
		The point is this.
		I argued this to Peter Boghossian.
		Universities have many ideologies, and many ideologies exist in many other facets.
		None of these things guarantee that the ideology becomes dominant in a society.
		You can talk about Christian ideology, in which, you know, the majority of people in this country identify as Christians.
		We don't see Christianity as the dominant moral ideology, despite many people espousing and carrying these ideologies.
		With churches everywhere!
		Why is that?
		Media influence is more powerful than a single ideology.
		And if the algorithms support an ideology, that ideology wins.
		At the same time, wokeness was on the rise, white nationalism was as well.
		For similar reasons, you had a lot of people on social media sharing ideas of racism against white people, but guess what?
		Advertisers did not like those ideas.
		It's white supremacy, they got rid of them.
unidentified		Why?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Because we don't like racism.
		Not because woke ideology was winning in these businesses, but it was because people were like, saying racism is bad, good thing.
		Being racist, bad thing.
		So that's it.
		Activists were better at it.
		And the way these things trended, it ultimately resulted in the banning of large, powerful, prominent white nationalist voices on social media.
		Anybody in the periphery of these spaces were getting negatively impacted, and to this day still likely are, even if you're not a white nationalist.
		If you're critical of DEI, they still censor you, though we have made tremendous strides and we are winning greatly.
		All right, we'll grab one more here.
		And, uh, let's see.
		Ryan Foxen says Yuri Bezmenov, 1984, former KGB operative.
		His interview, people need to see it.
		Ideological subversion has infected the US.
		I agree.
		Aero Verde with some of the most important news.
		Arizona passed a House bill that now allows people to keep backyard chickens regardless of city regulations.
		Time to go chicken shopping!
		Bravo, Arizona!
		This is the 27th Amendment I've been talking about!
		Chickens, being necessary for the security of a free state.
		The right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed.
		And I'm only half kidding.
		I think it's funny.
		But chickens are excellent.
		They make more of themselves.
		They taste delicious.
		And so do their eggs.
		I have a nice omelette.
		I had a nice omelette this morning with some pimento cheese.
		It was delicious.
		And I thank the chickens for the farm fresh eggs that we get every day.
		Let's jump to the news, ladies and gentlemen.
		Massive.
		Massive breaking story from the Jerusalem Post.
		Hundreds of Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon in mass pager hack.
		Reports are that Israel used some kind of hack to detonate the pagers of Hezbollah members.
		I did not believe this story when it first broke, but there are images.
		And let me just say, wow.
		I want to try and see if I can pull up more news about this.
		Because this is absolutely incredible.
		Reuters reporting.
		We've got Wall Street Journal.
		Let's pull this up.
		Absolutely incredible here.
		Wall Street Journal reporting this right now.
		Exploding pagers injure hundreds of Hezbollah members.
		Number of casualties in Lebanon appears to top 1,000.
		Take a look at this image.
		People are being brought into Emergency vehicles, the Wall Street Journal reporting, pagers carried by hundreds of Hezbollah operatives exploded over a short period Tuesday, leaving many of them injured in an unprecedented event that struck across Lebanon.
		The affected pagers were from a new shipment that the group received in recent days.
		People familiar with the matter said.
		A Hezbollah official said hundreds of fighters had such devices, speculating that malware may have caused the devices to heat up and explode.
		The official said some people felt the pagers heat up and dispose of them before they burst.
		It couldn't immediately be determined what caused the blasts, which were spread across the country in several areas where Hezbollah has a heavy presence.
		The Israeli military declined to comment.
		Rumors are circulating.
		That Israel hacked these pagers to cause them to overheat, detonating the batteries inside.
		I don't know if they would explode explode, but they could pop, burst, and get extremely hot, causing serious damage to a part of the body.
		I don't think it would be like a grenade or anything like that that's going to kill people, but it would injure them severely.
		They said the numbers of casualties was rising too quickly to count, but appeared to top 1,000, a Hezbollah official said.
		The group seemed overwhelmed trying to keep up, and hospitals across the country struggled to treat the injured.
		Downtown Beirut was filled with sirens and ambulances wailing by.
		Lebanon's internal security forces said certain types of wireless communication devices had exploded in various parts of the country, with a heavy concentration in Beirut's southern suburbs.
		They called on citizens to clear the roads to facilitate the transportation of the injured to hospitals.
	Wounds include severed fingers, head injuries, and large gashes to people's torsos.
	Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiyad said he needed more time to determine the total number of casualties, but assessed that the number of emergency room admissions in southern Lebanon, a Hezbollah stronghold, is extremely high.
	Clearly, the number will be in the hundreds of casualties.
	A lot of patients are in the emergency sections of hospitals in most parts of the country, and the health apparatus is working on triaging these cases.
	He didn't know how or why this happened, adding that many medical staff had got rid of their pagers fearing a second wave of detonations.
	The incident comes amid growing tensions along Lebanon's border with Israel.
	Hezbollah began firing rockets into Israel soon after the Hamas-led October 7th attack on southern Israel that set off the war in Gaza.
	The two sides have exchanged fire daily since then, driving tens of thousands of people out of towns on both sides of the border and leaving hundreds of Hezbollah operatives dead.
	Now, rumors are, and I'll see if I can pull this up, that Israel is responsible I don't know if that's the case.
	Let me see if... We've got videos now.
	I'll try and pull up one of these videos.
	The reports that we're getting are just that... Let's see, this is not the video in question.
	Here we go.
	Reports are just that the pagers blew up, but we do have what appears to... This may be a video.
	Immanuel Fabian, on X, Times of Israel military correspondent, says, a video circulating on social media purports to show the moment that a pager used by a Hezbollah operative exploded in Lebanon.
	According to Lebanese media, dozens were injured after Israel allegedly hacked the devices and detonated them.
	For the sake of the severity of this, I'm going to review this short video.
unidentified		Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		This is... This is... So, okay, I think this video is safe to show.
		I don't believe it shows any serious injury or anything like that.
		So, I want to stress this, because what I try to be careful of when it comes to war and conflict, I don't want to show any egregious wartime footage, any violent or anything like that.
		But I do believe it is fair to say that this video only shows a detonation and apparently no injuries.
		It looks like what we're seeing in this is just some papers in a bag popping.
		So we get a good idea, an idea that I think is very important for everybody watching to understand what happened.
		With this alleged pager hack or detonation without showing any kind of graphic or violent imagery.
		So, uh, I'll play that video for you now, and you can hear the pop.
		This is really interesting stuff.
unidentified		Oh, my God!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		You can see that it's just a bag that detonates, and some papers go flying out.
		The man may have suffered some injuries, but being not on his person in his bag, I don't believe we're seeing anything too extreme there.
		And so I think that was a viewer safe for the most part, though I just still say, you know, pay attention.
		My friends, let me tell you this.
		When I was first told, as I mentioned earlier, that Israel is accused now of hacking these pagers and detonating them.
		I didn't believe it.
		I didn't believe it.
		That would be a very sophisticated move.
		However, there is a lot of rumors and a lot of speculation going around right now as to what may have actually happened.
		We don't know.
		But this is unprecedented, an unprecedented wartime tactic.
		Here's what I can tell you is most likely.
		It looks like this was likely a single batch of pagers.
		Someone may have intercepted and tampered with them.
		I think it's more likely that small amounts of some type of explosive were placed into these pagers so that they could be sent a signal and detonated all at once.
		This would mean outside of the normal parameters of what these pagers normally do.
		Some might speculate that it was a hack, perhaps.
		I don't believe they were rigged to detonate if they received a page, because then it would be one person's pager goes off and people ditch their pagers and there's no military impact, it's one casualty, one injury.
		Seems more likely that these were rigged for a specific signal to go off, so it doesn't need to be a hack.
		It could be physical tampering, which I guess you could call a physical hack.
		Now the scary thing is the possibility that these pagers did not need any kind of special tampering to detonate in this way.
		I don't know that I believe that, but it's possible.
		If the lithium-ion battery, look up any of these videos, gets heated, you can see they begin to inflate.
		There are videos where people stab the batteries in experiments.
		Don't do this at home.
		Showing how this stuff happens.
		And if a cell phone battery is punctured, flames burst from it.
		I'll probably get this wrong, so those that are watching in the chat, you can correct me if I get this wrong, but lithium is an alkali, is it alkali or alkaline metal?
		Let me make sure I get this one right.
		Alkali metal.
		Alkali.
		So lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium.
		These things rapidly oxidize.
		So when lithium is exposed to the air, it corrodes very quickly and becomes warm.
		When placed in water, I believe what happens is, and again, you guys have to correct me on this one, it's been a long time since I've done these experiments.
		We did, I did this shoot for Vice.
		It rips out, I believe, the hydrogen from the water, bonding it with oxygen, or is it, I could be wrong, but I believe lithium hydroxide is the component.
		What I can tell you, it's actually much simpler than that, because you guys probably know better than I do.
		When lithium comes into contact with water, it bursts into flames.
		Seemingly paradoxical, right?
		But yes, a small piece of lithium thrown onto a top of water will burst into flames and start dancing around.
		It's an exothermic reaction.
		The heat builds up so quickly, a fire starts.
		It is possible that whatever pagers they're using have small lithium-ion batteries that were heating up And are compressed enough to where they got so hot that they were ready to burst and they detonate because they're sealed.
		It could be a hack.
		That's the scary thought.
		If that is the case, we have a very serious... I mean, this presents a lot of serious security fears for any run-of-the-mill cell phone.
		We all remember, I think it was the Note 5.
		I could be wrong, that had a risk of blowing up.
		It would overheat and burst into flames.
		There was one incident where a man was on a plane, and as a joke, he said his Wi-Fi to Galaxy Note Wi-Fi, or Galaxy 5 Wi-Fi or something like this, Note 5, and they actually had to stop the plane.
		And he was like, yikes, because they were like, you can't have these things on the plane because they are known to burst into flames, start fires.
		We don't know a lot for now, but I will say on top of this, the fears are, This will likely be blamed on Israel, whether they're involved or not.
		I have to say it seems very likely this targeted Hezbollah fighters.
		It could be the U.S., it could be Israel.
		But this is escalation.
		Now, I gotta tell you, my friends, it's war.
		It's absolute war.
		With the whole Israel conflict following October 7th, it is wild to me.
		I'll start here.
		And I'll make sure to piss everybody off, I guess.
		But I'm gonna tell you my thoughts, and you can tell me I'm wrong.
		By all means, please do so.
		There are many who suggest that Israel was aware Hamas was planning the October 7th attacks, and they let it happen so they would have a casus belli to go in and decimate Hamas, and target the West Bank, and then go after Lebanon, and even Iran.
	I gotta tell you, even if that were the case, all that it means is that Hamas was planning an attack against Israel first.
	Were it not for the plans of Hamas to attack Israel, none of this would have happened.
	It does mean, were that to be the case, as many people believe it is, you absolutely can criticize Israel for that component.
	But it doesn't change the fact that Hamas was still planning an attack on Israel.
	It just means, welcome to war.
	I don't know that it's fair to say that there's right-wrong-good-evil when you're dealing with propaganda war conflict.
	What I mean to say is we just don't know.
	I can tell you the attack on Israel was absolutely wrong.
	Hamas should not have done this.
	It's despicable and disgusting and the hostages need to be released.
	Personally, I believe Israel has a right to exist and defend itself and all of these things.
	I'm very critical of war, be it Israel or any other country.
	Seeing their incursion of the West Bank, I think is wrong, but I'm not an expert on this stuff.
	And I also don't like to opine on it because I don't want to be involved.
	This is scary stuff.
	Massive breaking story.
	But I'll add to this, one of the reasons why I cover this, why I jumped on this story is, I am, you know, I track a lot of these Cybersecurity and conflict stories I've covered greatly in my time, in my career.
	So hearing that thousands of pages exploded all at once, hard to believe.
	But now we've seen the video.
	We've seen those videos, and maybe we'll get more information, but we won't.
	I think it's very likely that Lebanon is going to blame Israel and say it was a military operation and cyber attack.
	What that means for escalation in the region, I don't know, considering Hezbollah's already been firing rockets into Israel, and Israel's been returning fire as well.
	Not to mention Iran and Israel have been targeting each other.
	So we are looking at a tinderbox, as we have been for generations, but now more so than ever.
	You know, when I was at Vice, this was during Operation Protective Edge, when Israel went in and started taking out Hamas targets in Gaza.
	Many journalists were terrified.
	Maybe that's not the right word.
	Some eager, but that's disgusting.
	Let's say there was concern that if Israel overstepped in the targeting of Gaza, Iran would intervene with military proxies, triggering a war which would bleed out to the region, resulting in World War III.
	Not overnight, not instantly, but ally begets ally begets ally, and then eventually you have the Middle East in chaos, China steps in, the U.S.
	says don't, now the U.S.
	and China's involved.
	That was 2014.
	That was 10 years ago.
	Well, it didn't happen.
	It didn't escalate.
	Today it did.
	In the past two years, in the past year, it's dramatically escalated.
	And now it is embroiling several other nations in the region, including Iran.

		For everybody else, let's grab some more of your Super Chats.
		And see what you have to say on this one.
		And then we're going to talk about... Am I racist?
		And what appears to be... I don't know.
		I don't know what you'd call it.
		It's not censorship.
		It's... It's interesting.
		The corporate press is doing everything to avoid reporting on what is a massively successful comedy film.
		Matt Walsh!
		A round of applause, man.
		Matt Walsh is scheduled to be joining us on IRL this week, and we're going to have a heck of a show.
		I've never been a bigger fan following Am I Racist, but we'll get into this in a bit.
		Let me grab your Super Chats.
		All right, let's go.
		Amtru says there are an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 Hezbollah members just saying, right, but taking out several thousand or more is a massive military move.
		All right.
		Garrett Crowell says, wasn't there another attempt around a month ago where he was being interviewed and said, it's not safe here, we have to go, and they nabbed the guy?
		I don't know what happened with that.
		Yes, I think you're right.
		But we don't know exactly what that was.
		Secret Service was just concerned.
		Let's see.
		We have a tweet from WhiteTrashPanda.
		Let me see if I can find it.
		He says, um... Correction, Hezbollah has been sending rockets into Israel for decades.
		This is indisputable, verifiable, historical fact.
		It's true.
		I'm just saying, in recent history, it's been active conflict.
		It's probably been active conflict, too.
		John Curry says, pagers in Syria are blowing up, too.
		The ambassador from Iran to Lebanon is one of the victims.
		Whoa!
unidentified		Wow!

		Get your popcorn.
		It may all be on purpose.
		Following World War II, the liberal economic order was established by the victors, and they said it was to prevent World War III.
		But it seems that it's falling apart, but maybe it's all intentional.
		Maybe the large plan is you need a global catastrophic event to make people want to
		believe in global governance, to erase borders, to destroy the governments of sovereign nations,
		to overwrite national identity.
		You need a Dr. Manhattan level catastrophe.
		If you're not familiar with Watchmen, the graphic novel, and the subsequent film—I'm
		a fan of both, by the way—the villain, Azim Undias, stages a fake assassination plot against
		himself to throw off another hero's investigation into what's going on.
		All part of a grand conspiracy to stage an alien invasion to force the U.S.
		and the Soviet Union to reconcile and unite against a common enemy for which there isn't actually one.
		Ozymandias says that there will be a nuclear war and humanity will be annihilated.
		So he stages a fake alien invasion, killing millions of people, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, so that the USSR and the US are forced to team up against this perceived threat.
		In the film, he makes Dr. Manhattan the bad guy.
		Perhaps that's what's happening.
		Patrick De Niro says, me and my associates wanted to see if we are vulnerable to phone hack like you explain.
		That video looks like they were tampered with.
		Always a good show, thanks.
		Could it be that the specific pagers they use are not of the same sophistication as our modern cell phones and maybe have smaller compressed, you know, smaller batteries that they're not able to, like, they'll pop?
		It's possible, I don't know.
		Modern cell phones, it looks like they'll just expand and crack open.
		I wonder if because the pagers are smaller and more compact, the smaller lithium-ion battery could pop like that.
		However, watching that video and considering the scale of that burst, I think it's fair to say that it looks like these were tampered with before shipments.
		And that's crazy because this means when Hezbollah received electronics, they didn't check them.
		Are you gonna... That to me is nuts.
		But let's jump to this next story, my friends.
		The curious case of Amiracist and Rotten Tomatoes.
		Ladies and gentlemen, we have this story from Awards Daily, as well as Big News from ABC.
		Amiracist has cracked the box office top five.
		The new film from The Daily Wire and Matt Walsh is, in my opinion, I gotta say it, masterpiece.
		It is a masterpiece.
		I really do think so.
		And what do I mean by that?
		It may sound a bit over the top, but let me explain.
		Am I racist?
		I've seen the clips.
		I thought they were funny.
		I said this looks fantastic.
		It looks like it's going to be great.
		What if someone was already fantastic?
		I went and saw the movie.
		The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes right now?
		99 with 500 plus verified ratings.
		Verified hot, they say.
		But there's no critic score.
		It's a media blackout.
		The media has a blackout on Am I Racist by Matt Walsh and The Daily Wire.
		Let me tell you about this film, and then I'll read this for you, and I'll give you a little background first.
		I hope many of you have seen this.
		You need to go see it.
		It's not political, it's a comedy.
		Matt Walsh doesn't come into this film saying, these are grifters, they're racists, they're causing all these problems.
		He doesn't preach.
		Masterfully done.
		The reason why I say it's a masterpiece is, one, It's a funny film.
		It's a comedy movie.
		It is a straight comedy mockumentary.
		If you like comedy films, you will like this.
		It's the best thing I have seen The Daily Wire do.
		And a lot of people have been critical of Daily Wire's past attempts, but this is where they've really figured it out.
		They're not preaching to you.
	They're not telling you what you should believe.
	They're literally just doing comedy.
	There's a fight scene where Matt Walsh is fighting.
	I'm telling you it's a comedy.
	There's slapstick where Matt Walsh fumbles and he's dropping things.
	I'm telling you it is a comedy film.
	The whole theater was laughing.
	The reason why I say it's a masterpiece?
	It accomplishes so much.
	Despite the media blackout, okay?
	They clearly don't want to admit that the movie is good.
	But let me tell you this.
	If you are someone who's not political, and you bring your friends, they will laugh their asses off at the jokes.
	Excellent, and well done.
	It's well produced, it's got good music, the editing is perfect in the beginning, I have no notes.
	As a film, I say, I got nothing else, I'd say it's a great movie, gotta see it.
	But what it accomplishes, several of the DEI grifters have deactivated their accounts on X, issued statements saying, oh geez, oh no.
	The film exposes the absurdity and hypocrisy of their psychotic positions without insulting them directly.
	They let these people roast themselves with the absurdity of their own positions.
	Matt Walsh takes a very comedic, Socratic method.
	When he sits down with these DEI grifters, one woman saying, like, you got to talk to your kids about being racist.
	It just as soon as you can.
	And he's like, There's no age that's right to start, and she's like, I've got a four-year-old.
	And then he goes, I have a six-month-old baby that I haven't talked to about this.
	You should!
	And he's like, okay.
	I can't believe how good it is in its activism without being overtly activist.
	This is why I say it's a masterpiece.
	I don't know how they top this.
	I really don't.
	Forgive me for gushing so much over how good this film was.
	I didn't even say this much about what is a woman.
	What is a woman was good.
	Don't get me wrong.
	But I'm in a packed theater in D.C., in D.C.
	of all places, 90% Democrat.
	Packed theater.
	Maybe 10% of the seats were empty.
	So I say packed, I mean, you're not going to get a seat that you like.
	You're either sitting in the first row or you're sitting in between people split up from your group.
	And most of the showings were like this.
	So we just chose one, got seats really close to the screen and watched.
	Everybody was laughing the whole time.
	Everybody was laughing.
	This is why the media has blacked out the film.
	Because they cannot deny it and they know it!
	This- I am- I am so excited, I am so- This makes me optimistic, I gotta tell you.
	Makes me optimistic.
	Critics review.
	Zeros.
	Zero.
	Wait, what?
	Critics review zero?
	What is this?
	Hold on.
	What are these?
	What are these reviews?
	There are reviews here.
	Awards Daily says, I thought it was strange to visit Rotten Tomatoes to find out what the score was for the Daily Wire's Am I Racist?
	The main page looks like this.
	You'll note no score for the movie and reviews listed as zero.
	There are reviews, however.
	They're five.
	And they're all rated Fresh.
	Matt's movie reviews?
	Fresh.
	Alan Ng, half the audience will laugh, the other half will walk out.
	He gave it a tomato!
	He gave it an 8.5 out of 10.
	The first guy, 4 out of 5.
	This one got 3.5.
	This is Hollywood in Toto.
	3.5 out of 4.
	I believe Hollywood in Toto is a little bit more sane.
	Avi Offer says, bold, provocative.
	I wondered why there wasn't the 100% score for that.
	A quick Google search brings up this.
	Certified Rotten Tomatoes score.
	It has at least five reviews from top critics.
	A steady Tomato Meter score of at least 75.
	Limited release films must have at least 40 reviews.
	Wide released films must have at least 80 reviews.
	TV shows are eligible by season and must have at least 20 reviews per season.
	So it has to be top critics and not mid critics.
	When you click the movies link you see this.
	Look at this!
	The highest audience score for a film with over 500 verified reviews, 99%!
	I scrolled to the site to see if any other movies had no numbered score, and did.
	It's called The Greatest of All Time Goat.
	It has four reviews, but when you click on it, it shows the number where I'm racist does not.
	Four.
	Interesting.
	And they say, no reviews.
	69 popcorn score.
	So what gives?
	Am I Racist came out at number four in the box office chart, which isn't bad.
	It's per theater average puts it at number three.
	Obviously it did well despite a complete and total blackout by the Main Street Press.
	And despite that, none of the so-called top critics, whatever that means, deigned to review it.
	Only a small handful did, but that's only in print.
	Over in the real world, aka YouTube, Film critic Jeremy Johns had the balls to review it.
	He has nearly 2 million subscribers.
	Do you think any of the top critics get those kinds of view on their reviews?
	Do you think maybe the reason for that is that they don't want to review movies like this?
	Let's pull up their movie review.
	This is Jeremy Johns.
	He's got 500,000 views, number 25 on trending for his movie review of Am I Racist?
	Johns takes the opportunity to talk about this stuff because he doesn't exist inside the insular, isolated bubble on the left, certainly where most of the top critics dwell.
	If I sound harsh, it's because they have failed at their job to review a film they might be able to discuss.
	They didn't want to platform him.
	That's why they didn't do it.
	Maybe they'd lose their jobs, who knows?
	But put it this way, I'm not surprised Johns is popular on YouTube.
	His review has over 90,000 views in 3 hours.
	As of right now, half a million in 2 days, 25 trending on YouTube.
	Look at this.
	Our good pals at FilmThreat also did a live event because they, too, live in the real world.
	Chris Gore and Alan Ning talked through it.
	I'm not saying you have to watch the film, like the film, or give it a review, but it is odd that the people who cover Hollywood and Hollywood itself seem to think it can survive on fear and blacklists forever.
	Bro, no, ain't gonna.
	Here's another popular YouTuber, Misha Petrov, with over 400,000 followers.
	This video has 184,000 in four days.
	A parody site called Dark Brandon attempted to get ahead of the movie and make an animated film calling Matt Walsh a racist misogynist.
	What is this here?
matt walsh ▲ ● ▼		Hi, I'm Matt Walsh and I have an upcoming movie coming out called Am I a Racist?
		And I'm pretty sure everybody knows the answer.
		Yes.
		I'm a racist, misogynistic piece of shit.
		In my last movie, Am I a Woman?, I was really able to display not only misogynistic ideas... Okay, we get the point.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		Let me tell you why this stuff isn't working.
		This video may work really well among liberals.
		This video's got 10,000 views, I guess.
		Let me tell you.
		Most people who go and see this film, am I racist?
		They don't know who Matt Walsh is.
		Matt Walsh is a prominent commentator, pundit, personality.
		He's very famous.
		He has 3 million subscribers.
		He had a smash hit with What Is Woman.
		A tremendous cultural endeavor.
		I think the Daily Wire has really nailed this with Matt Walsh's latest films.
		Really, really great stuff.
		But the average person isn't going to laugh at a video of Matt Walsh being like, yes, I am racist.
		Because they're going to be like, I don't know who this guy is.
		For all you know, if you watch Am I Racist, you're like, it's a comedian.
		That's it.
		The film is quite literally, I gotta tell you, quite literally, just Matt Walsh being like, I decided to do the work and figure out how to be not racist.
		And then he goes and meets these people, talks about how much they paid them to do it.
		It is, it's a perfect film.
		I gotta tell you, there's no point at which I was bored.
		I found myself sitting there the whole time, just watching through it, laughing the whole time, really interested to see where things were going.
		They got great characters, they got real people.
		One of the best scenes is from the trailer, you can see it, where he asks this old biker guy about how he feels about cis heteronormativity or whatever, and the guy goes, ah!
		He's just drinking his beer, and he looks at him and goes, ah!
		It was the perfect reaction to what it is.
		They didn't need to tell you it was stupid.
		They didn't need Matt Walsh to come out and say these people are nuts.
		They needed him only to ask the question to a regular person, for that person to go, huh?
		And that exemplifies everything.
		For this, media blackout.
		Now, Jeremy Johns receives a backlash for his review.
		SCNR reports, The Daily Wire's debut theatrical release starring Matt Walsh investigates the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
		John's a movie reviewer covered The Daily Wire's latest release.
		The YouTuber praised Walsh for his humorous Borat-esque character portrayed in Am I Racist, which was inspired by his character Chris Dilby in the comedy in The Daily Wire's Lady Ballers.
		The video subsequently faced significant backlash from critics.
		Matt Wall says, The left has labeled Jeremy John's a racist sellout simply for reviewing my film.
		This is how they play the game.
		Viciously denounce anyone who positively acknowledges the existence of the film so that other critics will be too afraid to follow suit.
		Matt Jorbo says, Midlife Crisis Jeremy Johns is not the villain origin story I was expecting.
		Oh really?
		Matt Jorbo.
		Horror Alice says, Jeremy Johns has always sucked.
		It's amazing people valued his opinion at all.
		Him being a racist and a centrist coward is not surprising in the slightest.
		Confirmed racists, says one Twitter user.
		And another says, I can't for the life of me... I can't think for the life of me why Jeremy Johns would shine a light on a person like Matt Walsh and give him a shake, except that Johns got a juicy offer from the Daily Wire in the form of connections or payments or some other transaction.
		Or it's simple.
		Am I Racist is a massive film.
		It was number three at the box office.
		It's doing surprisingly well.
		It is a good and funny film that regular people are watching and enjoying, with over 500 verified ratings, giving it a 99% score.
		Shout out to Justin Falk, the director, Matt Walsh, and everyone involved, and the Daily Wire crew.
		People seem to really, really love it.
		Let me tell you, my friends.
		I have no notes.
		I always leave a theater, whatever the movie may be, I leave the theater going like, man, they really should have done this, they really should have done that.
		How about, uh, Star Wars, you know?
		Return of the... Revenge of the Sith or whatever, I know it's an oldie, but it's an easy one.
		I'm just sitting there being like, why did Anakin become evil?
		It's like, he's...
		He wants to stop Palpatine, but then just goes, I will do whatever you say.
		Why?
		He was going to help win.
	Could they have not added, like, one sentence to, you know, like, make it work better?
	I'm always giving notes on films when I walk out, like, oh, you know, I walked out of that jealous.
	They nailed it.
	I was like, I, I have nothing to say.
	I mean, they could not have done it better.
	They could not have done it.
	That's my review.
	That's my review.
	I want to do a spoiler review, but we'll wait a little bit because y'all need to go see this movie.
	Awards Daily says the movie is funny.
	It's not offensive.
	It's offensive for people whose religion has become anti-racism.
	And there are a lot of those people.
	Probably everyone in Hollywood by now.
	Netflix wouldn't make this.
	Apple wouldn't make this.
	Amazon wouldn't make this.
	No movie studio would.
	And isn't it time they asked why not?
	But overall, the job of good documentaries is to ask questions, not answer them.
	It's not to tell people how to think, yet that is what they've become.
	If they want to capture the attention of Gen Z and every generation thereafter, they will have to thaw out and join the real world.
	We still don't know how much money the film will make overall, but its success means the Daily Wire is now a legit movie studio.
	You know, people ragged on Lady Ballers.
	They said that it was too on-the-nose.
	The joke was obvious.
	And the movie was preachy.
	Some criticized, I believe it's Mr. Bertram, Bertram is their cartoon show, as once again being too on the nose.
	I've always been a big proponent of taking down your political opponents through mockery, by mocking them but not preaching about it.
	They could not have done this better.
	The film, there's no point at which He says, DEI grifters are bad.
	They're ripping you off.
	These corporations are adopting these policies that are pissing people off.
	That's the commentary side of things.
	I'll tell you what's going to happen.
	The next time, and I've already seen this, there was like some viral tweet where a guy said, I can't believe my company actually hired this person thinking that what she was offering was sound advice.
	It's going to be very difficult for these DEI grifters to continue working after this film.
	Oh, they're going to be so angry.
	Many of them already deactivated their accounts.
	But I imagined this, and this was the goal.
	They look like morons.
	And so, when a company is told, we want to do a diversity initiative, and one of these woke cultists says, we should bring in, you know, insert DEI grifter, they wouldn't call him that, they'll say, this person.
	They're gonna go, okay, and they're gonna look at him and go, this person was clowned, and we will be embarrassed if we hire them.
	If this person walks in, and our staff has seen this movie, they're gonna start busting out laughing, and they're going to complain.
	My friends, I don't want to spoil the movie, but there's literally a scene where, as a DEI grifter, Matt Walsh convinces people to self-flagellate.
	He gives them whips!
	You gotta see it!
	I am so jealous of this.
	You know what, I'll tell you this stuff too.
	We're working on a lot of stuff here at Timcast.
	Tons of crazy projects.
	It's overwhelming at times.
	And so we've got the Skate Project with the Boonies.
	The website should be launching today.
	You can buy boards.
	There's going to be a private membership and Discord server where we're going to be bringing in people in the action sports community.
	We're going to have member exclusives.
unidentified		U.S.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		members are going to be the judges for our contests.
		We're going to do real-time polling.
		So much awesome stuff.
		Custom boards and merch.
		We want to help build that culture and win back skateboarding and reinvigorate not just skateboarding but other action sports.
		We're working on all these things.
		It could be overwhelming.
		I sat down in that theater and I watched this film.
		You'll notice.
		I'm going to be completely honest.
		You notice the new thumbnails.
		We're doing a new thumbnail for Timcast IRL as well.
		I watched this movie and I thought to myself, I have to redouble everything I'm doing.
		I have to work 100 times harder than I am.
		I have to start... I just... that's it.
		I saw this film and it was so good that it lit a fire under me that has never been before.
		I already work 12 to 16 hours every single day.
		The reason I say 12 is because eating food and exercising might not be considered work.
		And I thought, how can I do more?
		How can I be as good as this?
		I am jealous of how good this movie is and this production.
		We've got some documentaries.
		We are working on expanding these coffee shops.
		We are grinding our fingers to the bone, trying as hard as we can.
		And then I saw this and said, let's be a hundred times better.
		This gives me more hope and optimism for everything we've been working on, and that's why I keep praising it.
		I cannot express to you how inspired and how good this movie was.
		I have seen such garbage from the right in terms of comedy, I gotta tell you.
		The new norm, even some of the Daily Wire projects.
		But...
		I can't tell you how jealous I am of how amazing they did with this.
		It is like the old school days of good comedy done in a modern context that punches up at these elitist snoots who look down on working class people.
		And I want, I want that.
		I want to make a movie like that.
		I want to do that.
		Daily Wire, you guys rock.
		This is epic stuff.
		I am so jealous of the stuff you're doing.
		We are gonna get it done here at TimCast.

		Let's get it.
		We got a TV app coming out.
		We are launching new marketing campaigns, new commercials.
		We are going to push harder than we've ever done.
		I am inspired by the stuff the Daily Wires have been working on.
		You guys have really lit a fire under me to be even better than I ever... We're going for it.
		You know what?
		I might start working weekends again.
		You know, because I take the weekends off.
		I'm like, 16-hour days are brutal.
		We got big plans.
		We have been hitting people up.
		We've been going to the staff being like, it's time to grind.
		Look how good this is.
		We can do it.
		Thank you guys so much for watching this and go see that film.
		Shout out to Matt Walsh.
		I'm really excited to have you here.
		I've never been a bigger fan.
		I mean it when I say like, this is, you know, I remember being a kid and hearing music and thinking like, I want to make that one day.
		I have not seen something this good.
unidentified		I just, So good!
tim pool ▲ ● ▼		People are making jokes now saying, you know, I'm shilling too hard.
		I don't care, man.
		I mean it.
		I legitimately mean it.

		Very simple site, but we got great stuff.
		We're working on new shows.
		Let's get it!
		Next segment will be at 8 p.m.
		Next show, TimCast IRL.
		Thank you all so much for hanging out.
		Smash that like button, become a member, follow me on X, and we will see you all tonight at youtube.com slash TimCastIRL.
		And for the rest of yas.
		We'll grab a couple more super chats. I do have to I do always have a hard stop with the with the morning show
		because I have to do. I have to edit and upload a moderate about which moderate amount which takes about half an hour.
		So if we want to get the segments up, got to get it done.
		But man, I really want to. I mean it when I say I watched this. I'm sitting in the theater being like I have to do
		more. Whatever it is that I can do. I have to do more.
		Maybe it's time to start bringing back the Saturday shows.
		I think I should.
		I think.
		There's no reason.
		You know, maybe what I have to do, and this is really difficult because we're bursting at the seams, but I'm like, I feel like getting a story producer.
		would be a cultural producer to help.
		Then I could do seven-day-a-week shows like I used to.
		The challenge with doing seven days a week was because at the time I was doing Monday to Monday, like Monday to Sunday, morning shows.
		And this was six segments.
		It was two hours plus TimCast IRL, but we didn't have the members only.
		So I was going to bed around 10 and waking up at 6, going on the treadmill while watching the news, then doing the morning show, I wrap the show at 10, be sleeping by 10.30, wake up at 6 a.m., treadmill, watching the news for an hour.
		I can't do that because we're doing the members-only show, which has made all of this possible.
		So it's reset my schedule a little bit.
		It's hard to find a good story producer who's got their finger on the pulse, who can pull up all these stories.
		But maybe we can make it work.
		Maybe we can make it work.
		All right.
		I'll just grab one more super chat because I do got to get to editing and putting this show up.
		Son of Chad says, I went to see the movie yesterday.
		When I got out, I was going to tell friends and family.
		Instead, I saw news was breaking about Trump once again.
		That's crazy, right?
		Absolutely crazy.
		Alright, let's see what we got here.
		Jeremy Higgins says, Anakin turned evil because he became consumed by his emotions and driven by his fears until he became a slave to the dark side, or manipulative forces bent on control and domination.
		Draw your own parallels.
		What I'm saying is, they just needed, like, A single sentence in that moment.
		Here's what should have happened.
		I'm giving you my notes.
		Here we go.
		Mace Windu says, we have to stop him.
		He then says, we can't.
		It's not the Jedi way.
		And Mace Windu says, he controls the Senate.
		We can't have a trial.
		Then, you know, the Emperor's like, help me, I'm too weak.
		And then, you know, Anakin is like, no, and he cuts off Mace Windu's arm or whatever.
	After that, the Emperor could have just said, after killing the leader of the Jedi Council, do you think they would ever accept you back?
	And then, literally, it could have taken 10 seconds.
	And it would have been like, you've crossed the line, Anakin, but fear not.
	With my teaching, you can save Padme.
	Join me.
	You have no other choice.
	And then he would have just dropped to his knees and said, I will do.
	That would have been fine for me.
	I'm just saying, you know, those are my notes.
	Anyway, it's a 20-something year old movie or whatever.
	All right, everybody, smash that like button on your way out so we can maybe hit that 10K number.
	We've got 8,640 likes right now.
	But likes do help.
	They really do.
	They boost, they do a lot to help.
	So if you do like it, you hit that like button, subscribe, and really share the show.
	You know, I gotta tell you this.
	I may be good at complaining on the internet.
	You may enjoy me doing that.
	But there are things that we are working on that we know we aren't the best at.
	So the audio side on the podcasts, we do really well.
	But we've never done any real promotion for any of it.
	And these shows we know are good.
	Why?
	Well, we see the audience engagement levels, so we just need a better... I don't know.
	We need to figure out the means by which we have that strategic marketing apparatus, which we've been lacking.
	Development and otherwise.
	But I gotta tell you, when I see how amazing The Daily Wire is, these latest films, and how they've hit this out of the park, I gotta tell you, I really do mean it.
	They have got me excited.
	They got me excited.
	Fate Aki says, if you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything.
	We need you, Tim.
	Oh, I got my health.
	I got my health.
	I think it's time to go ham.
	I think it's time to... I'll tell you this.
	I'll give you another few minutes.
	Here's our plans for the Culture War podcast.
	The original idea for Timcast IRL was going to be that I do my morning show like I always do.
	I get the van that I built.
	I drive to various cities.
	Once I'm done with the morning show, set up a table outside the van, Timcast, IRL podcast, come talk, and then it would be very much like a change my mind that Steven Crowder was doing, although I'm not as much like Crowder where it would be like a debate.
	It would be like, I'm going to sit down and just do an hour of conversation with random people about various issues and have kind of debates with people.
	So it's relatively similar.
	COVID happened.
	So I was like, it's time to get on the road.
	We'll get out there.
	I can do the podcast.
	We can go to various cities.
	It allows me to skate, travel.
	I love all of these things.
	COVID happened.
	So IRL just was a channel I had with 70,000 subscribers on it.
	And I said, let's just do a nightly show because we can't go anywhere.
	We can't do anything.
	The culture war is meant to be more of these conversations.
	People debating abortion and taxes and things like that.
	But liberals don't like doing big debates.
	It's very difficult to get them.
	However, that's only the big prominent ones who are at risk of falling down.
	Smaller personalities love to do these debates.
	So here's what we want to do.
	We want to add to the culture war.
	A bigger show is a bigger company.
	Man on the street interviews.
	Alad, the first you're hearing of it, but we're gonna hit up Alad and see if he wants to take the role of doing consistent man-on-the-street interviews, and he could easily do it in New York, asking people basic questions like, abortion for or against, what's your argument?
	And then setting up these conversations where we have, who are you voting for, Kamala Trump, things like that.
	What do you think about the debate?
	We do those easily.
	They're relatively easy to make.
	You can do them once a day.
	Fridays, we want to do something where we either get a satellite studio in another city or closer to DC where we bring in Thank you all so much for hanging out.
	We'll be back at 8 p.m.
