Today's the big day, my friends.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
It is the VP debate.
Tim Walz, J.D.
Vance will be debating tonight.
It's going to be wild.
And Democrats are already lowering expectations.
At least that's what the media is reporting.
Now, amidst this big day of news, I would presume that the GOP has timed this release quite perfectly, saying that a whistleblower has come forward with information pertaining to Tim Walz's longstanding connection to the Chinese Communist Party.
There's already been reports in the news, even the New York Times picked it up, asking questions about why Tim Walz flew to China 30 times, why he spent so much time there and has heaped praise upon them.
Though they say he's also criticized their human rights record.
I mean, sure, I can criticize the United States and still like the United States and want to be American and support this country.
I do not trust Tim Walz's, let's just say, the weird stories about the things he's been doing in China.
Now the funny thing is, the New York Times runs this story claiming that he was there during Tiananmen Square in Hong Kong as the tanks were rolling in.
Freebeacon now reporting, nah, they got an old newspaper showing he was not.
Another fake story from Tim Waltz.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And this one got picked up and reprinted by a bunch of different outlets.
The dude is a liar!
About everything!
I mean, we already know about the stolen Valor stuff.
Now Kamala Harris is getting slammed over claiming she worked at McDonald's, to which Alex Stein politely referred to it as stolen McValor.
They're trying to act like they're of the people, and they are not.
I don't know what Tim Walz is really up to, or what he wants, or what he's trying to do, whatever.
But I got questions about his connections to the CCP.
We'll get into all that stuff.
Plus, we'll talk about the debate.
What we're hearing with the current polling in this election.
And also, my friends, big news.
Israel's invasion of Lebanon is escalating.
Lebanon, of course, I should say Hezbollah, is retaliating.
U.S.
troops are being deployed once again.
The Tennessee National Guard reportedly was going out there, and now U.S.
forces are under attack in Iraq.
Things are heating up.
This election matters more than any other election, I gotta say, because we are on the precipice of World War III.
We'll talk about that, plus a couple of other silly stories.
We got this story about a food bank that banned white people.
You can't have food, sorry, you're white.
And then we got some updates alongside that with Amiracist.
And then there's a big story.
A woman's volleyball team forfeited because they didn't want to compete against a trans woman.
And we'll get into that whole debate.
Before we get started, my friends, guess what?
We released a new song, Coming Home, featuring Phil Labonte.
You need iTunes.
You go to getcominghome.com if you have iTunes installed, or just open up your iTunes player, buy the song, 99 cents.
And I'll tell you why we're doing this.
First of all, we released a song and we hope you really like it.
The song Coming Home is about coming home to find the state of our cities, how they've been left to decay and rot.
I mean, you look at what Elon Musk is saying about San Francisco and how if Democrats are able to secure their single party control of this country, there will be no escape from the mismanagement and the degeneracy and the decay of this country.
But as the song really hits on, it's coming home to find that everything's been just left to decay.
There's homelessness, there's abandoned buildings.
You know?
When I walk past, there's like old rundown restaurants out here where we live.
Just maybe 20 years abandoned.
And I always wonder to myself when I see things like this, what was that building like when it was finished?
When there was a nice married couple, they stood outside of that business they built, arm around his wife, though many loves, she's standing there with her head on his shoulder, and he says, we did it, honey.
We've opened our dream restaurant.
20 years now on, and that building is abandoned, left to rot and collapse.
I see these buildings in the great downtown areas of the American cities, and I wonder, what was it like?
When that CEO opened up his first factory and he cut the ribbon and everyone was clapping and cheering because they built this for a purpose.
And today, it's filled with drugs and homelessness and left to rot and collapse.
I wonder about that.
And that's what I see.
Check out the song on TimCast Music on YouTube.
We hope that you guys buy it for 99 cents because we want to send a message that, you know, look, People are willing to buy our products.
And many of these big rock stars, they can't sell for nothing.
So, the Billboard charts are always playing dirty games to try and keep us off those lists.
And, uh, pick up the song over at Get Coming Home.
You need to get it on iTunes, because we're trying to avoid them pulling shenanigans like they do.
It's a game of cat and mouse over here.
But check out the song either way.
If you don't like it, well, go ahead and comment and say you hate the song.
And either way, we appreciate your support.

So just last night, Alex Stein was talking about going to Antarctica and I said, well, it's up to the members.
You know what I mean?
So I put up a poll on YouTube and I said, should we send Alex Stein to Antarctica?
It's going to cost $35,000.
I mean, that's a lot of money.
You know, hire somebody to work and have a year's salary on that.
Not that it's good these days, right?
Well, I gotta tell you, 93% said send Alex Stein to Antarctica, and I said the members dictate.
You guys go to TimCast.com, your members.
All right!
We'll send Alex Stein to Antarctica!
And if you think that Alex Stein should go to Antarctica, become a member at TimCast.com.
Additionally, I'd like to stress...
For those that are asking about updates in the lawsuit we have against Kamala Harris' campaign, it is developing.
These things take time, but we did file our lawsuit for defamation.
We will not back down.
I will not allow these liars to post these shockingly egregious lies about me that damage me, my reputation, my business, my employees, my friends, my family.
So, we will have updates on that soon, but again, if you believe in what we do and you want to support us, TimCast.com.
Let's jump into the news!
Maybe we got this from the National Review.
Internal DHS group chat has information on Tim Walz's China Ties whistleblower reveals.
This is not surprising to anybody.
And I do want to stress, there is some new information here.
But I'm loving the timing of October 1st, the news cycle hits.
Now look, I know the story came out yesterday, 3.30, the report drops.
They dropped it just in time for it to be kind of an October surprise.
The only thing, it's not really a surprise.
I mean, we kind of knew this, but there is some information internally at DHS, which suggests there are concerns about Tim Walz's connections to the CCP.
On top of that, October surprise, baby.
Hillary Clinton says there's going to be October surprise that comes out and perverts Kamala Harris.
I'm not kidding!
That's what she said.
We'll talk about that.
National Review says, House Republicans are working to obtain Department of Homeland Security documents related to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's connections to China after a whistleblower revealed their existence in protected disclosures.
Quick thought, my friends.
Smash the like button, subscribe if you haven't already, and share the stream right now.
Share the show with all your friends.
It really does help.
They're going to say, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is sending a subpoena to DHS for intelligence reports on Waltz's ties to China and records from an internal Microsoft Teams group chat with information about Waltz.
Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, the committee has learned of a non-classified Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees titled, NST-NFT Bi-Weekly Sync.
unidentified
What is it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
National Security Team or something?
This contains information about Governor Walz that is relevant to the committee's investigation.
The committee has also learned that further relevant information regarding Governor Walz has been memorialized in both classified and unclassified documents in control of the DHS.
The subpoena instructs DHS to turn over documents no later than October 7th.
The information required by DHS by the committee subpoena will inform the committee's understanding of how successful the CCP has been in waging political warfare in and against the United States, how effectively federal agencies are addressing the communist regime's campaign, and what reforms are necessary to counter this threat.
The Oversight Panel is investigating the Chinese Communist Party's attempts to infiltrate U.S.
institutions and influence American political leaders.
Comer opened his investigation into Waltz's longstanding ties to China after Vice President Kamala Harris chose Waltz to be her running mate in August.
Now my friends, I want to mention something.
scrutiny to his engagements with China and his political record earlier this month.
Comer accused the FBI of withholding information in its possession from the committee relevant to its investigations.
Now, my friends, you know, I want to mention something.
I could have gone for what I viewed was a more partisan, domestic.
What would you call it?
I don't know.
Shock content headline.
But I decided to go for the relevant Chinese Communist Party whistleblower information, which may or may not bear fruit.
But I certainly could have run this headline, which, you know, I really wanted to.
Kamala Harris says insomnia hit after Biden dropped out.
She was sleep deprived the day of the waltz pick.
As if to imply, I wish I didn't pick this guy!
You know, so, look, I kind of was thinking, like, should I make a Kamala regrets picking Waltz?
She was sleep-deprived, oopsie-daisy?
Well, I don't know that she's actually saying that.
And, uh, it's whatever.
She picked the guy from the time that the president called me and told me he wasn't running.
I mean, it was just like everything was in a speedy, speedy motion.
I was not sleeping well.
Maybe that's why she chose Tim Waltz.
Uh-huh.
Anyway, I feel like the Chinese connection is more serious, though it may not be as politically flashy.
Some might call an October surprise, but I'd just like to stress to all of you watching, I chose the high road, despite the fact that many of the liberals and the Democrats are going to say this is low road.
Well, the Republicans have released a report, they've got information, we have questions about Tim Walz's connections to China, and so does the New York Times.
But I'd have loved to just played that partisan game, right?
They're going to say, The Oversight Panel is investigating the CCP's attempts to infiltrate U.S.
institutions and influence American political leaders.
Comer opened his investigation after he was chosen.
As a schoolteacher and politician, Waltz went on many trips to China, dating back to the 90s.
One of those trips doubles as a honeymoon after Waltz planned his wedding around the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators.
Until at least 2007, when he was a new elected congressman, Waltz was a visiting fellow at Macau Polytechnic University.
An institution linked to China's Belt and Road Initiative, an economic investment program that the Chinese Communist Party uses to expand its geopolitical influence.
Yo, Tim Walz was a terrible choice.
And I gotta be honest, sometimes I think that the Deep State, the Uniparty, is desperately trying to maintain things.
And then I look at this and I'm like, are they just burning it down intentionally?
China's Belt and Road Initiative is basically Steamrolling through the collapse of the petrodollar and the expansion of BRICS.
All right, I guess.
Maybe that's what Democrats are really on about.
They're going to say, while in Congress, Wall secured millions in research funding for the Hormel Institute, a research institution that collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab where COVID-19 is thought to have originated from, according to the Washington Examiner.
Scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have worked alongside China's People's Liberation Army on public health, and you know, okay, we get it, we get it.
I don't want to deviate too much here, but I appreciate the Wuhan tidbit.
Well, let's talk about this.
I hope you guys are ready for this.
It's going to shock you, and it may offend.
And I don't know how to say this to all of you, but my friends, Tim Walz may be a liar.
I know it pains my heart, and many of you are shocked to hear it, but the New York Times has the report.
Tim Walz's longstanding relationship with China defies easy stereotypes.
What does that mean?
Mr. Waltz, the Democrats' vice presidential nominee, taught in China and has visited the country around 30 times.
But he has also been critical of the Chinese government's human rights record.
Oh, indeed, has he?
Has he now?
You're going to love this one.
In the summer of 1989, Tim Waltz faced a difficult choice.
A newly minted college graduate from small-town Nebraska, he had just turned down a stable 9-to-5 job after offer and moved across the world to teach at a local high school in China.
He had made it as far as Hong Kong, just across the Chinese border, when People's Liberation Army tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square to crush pro-democracy protests.
Rumors were flying about a possible civil war in China.
Many foreigners, including most American teachers, had fled the country.
Should he go back home or continue his journey to China?
He decided to go back in.
Quote, it was my belief at the time that the diplomacy was going to happen on many levels, certainly people to people, Mr. Waltz recalled in 2014 during a congressional hearing marking the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
The opportunity to be in a Chinese high school at that critical time seemed to me to be really important.
The one year that Mr. Waltz spent teaching English in southern China was the start of what would become a decades-long relationship with the country.
As high school teachers in Nebraska and Minnesota, Mr. Waltz and his wife, Gwen, regularly led trips to China in the 90s and early 2000s to introduce students to China's history and culture.
Mr. Waltz has said that he has traveled to China some 30 times, including for his honeymoon.
Well, my friends, as you hear that tremendous story, tremendous indeed, he was there.
Tiananmen Square was happening, civil war, and he said, I'm going in.
He needed to.
He also needed to spend decades traveling in and out of China with his students to share their culture.
That's fine, I guess.
If you're not, like, trying to be a world leader.
Because then we got questions, don't we?
Certainly the GOP does.
But, uh, hold on there.
From the Free Beacon.
Tim Walz said he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
He was home in Nebraska.
unidentified
What?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Tim Walz lied?
No, this can't be right.
Look at him!
He's old, white dude dad, Midwesterner.
He's not gonna lie about this stuff.
What is this, Free Beacon?
You know, I'd say the New York Times must have published the truth, and Free Beacon, you are far right!
That's the only explanation, right?
Well, let's read.
At a 2014 congressional hearing held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Tim Waltz, then a congressman representing Minnesota's 1st District, recalled being in Hong Kong when the Chinese Communist Party crushed the student protests.
Quote, I was just going to teach high school in Foshan and Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in May of 89, he said.
And as the events were unfolding, several of us went in.
And I still remember the train station in Hong Kong.
There was a large number of, especially European, I think, very angry Very angry that we would still go after what had happened, but it was my belief at the time that the diplomacy was going to happen on many levels.
That anecdote has since been repeated without scrutiny by the New York Times, CBS News, National Public Radio, among others.
In reality, local news reports show that Walt was at home in Nebraska in May and June of 1989 as protests convulsed China, and the government's response turned the world's attention to its gross human rights violations.
He wouldn't depart for China until August.
Hey, look at this!
Times Herald, Tuesday, May 16th, 1989.
Hey, look who it is!
It's Tim Walz!
In Nebraska!
Really?
Contemporaneous news reports show Walz touring a National Guard storeroom in Alliance, Nebraska in May 1989.
They indicate that Walz did not leave the United States until August of that year, at least two months after the student protest ended with Tiananmen Square Massacre.
You mean to tell me And this breaks my heart, because I wanted to vote for Tim Walz, you know?
Here I see this midwestern guy, white dudes for Harris, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
Tim Walz.
I can't believe he lied.
I'm kidding, by the way.
The dudes lied about basically everything.
Can't say that I'm surprised.
And they call J.D.
Vance weird.
Seriously?
Look, man, we're going to watch the debate tonight on TimCast IRL.
All right, and what do I think of this here J.D.
Vance?
He's kind of vanilla pudding.
You know, he's a regular guy.
I wouldn't call him weird.
I'd actually call him kind of boring.
No disrespect.
It's kind of a good thing.
And I think that's why Trump chose him.
Because J.D.
Vance is a regular dude.
And that's the appeal, right?
Just a regular guy, huh?
There's not really much to say.
They got mad at him because he ordered donuts.
He said, give me a dozen of whatever.
And they're like, whatever?
That's a strange way to order donuts.
And I'm like, what?
Like, who cares?
You know, I go to Donut Shop and I say, surprise me.
Oh, that's so weird.
I'm like, calm down.
Who cares?
The most inconsequential thing ever.
But they're like, J.D.
unidentified
Vance is weird.

The discrepancy was first reported by Minnesota Public Radio's APM Reports on Monday.
The Waltz campaign was unable to produce documentation to back up Waltz's statement that he was there during the uprising, the news outlet said.
Take a look at this.
April 11, 1989.
CSC student going to China.
A Chadron State College senior will be teaching in China next year.
If present plans, materialist Tim Waltz of Butte has been accepted as a World Teach China volunteer.
The program, based at Harvard University, is similar to the Peace Corps.
What do they say?
Going to Africa, Waltz will teach American history and English.
I've always had a real interest in travel and feel this is a golden opportunity to see a culture that's 3,000 years old, said Waltz, a social science major.
Yada yada.
Before departing, Walt said he needs to raise $2,500 to pay for his own transportation health insurance once in China.
He'll be paid $100 a month, which is about twice the amount generally paid Chinese workers.
Well, there you go.
Here we go.
What is this one?
We got another one, huh?
It is but the latest example of Walt inflating his resume and exaggerating parts of his biography.
The Minnesota governor claimed for years to be a retired command sergeant major, though he retired without completing the requirements to earn the title.
Waltz also stated that he was in the process of getting his doctorate degree years after he left the graduate program at St.
Mary's University in Minnesota.
The Washington Free Beacon reported.
Here, there's another story basically saying the same thing, that he's been accepted.
This is April 13th, 89.
You know, those... But these... Look, this is before May.
You know what I mean?
I don't know what these reports say other than he was accepted.
On Monday, Minnesota Public Radio also reported that Waltz was so proud of his extensive experience traveling to China that he occasionally used to exaggerate it.
Claiming to have traveled there 30 times on his campaign now admits he visited the country around 15 times.
LIES!
I don't know which one he's lying about, but they're all lies.
I gotta wonder if he actually did travel there around 30 times, and then he was like, uh-oh, it's really bad that I have connections to the CCP and want to be the Vice President of the United States, so I better lie.
And he cut it in half.
Wallace made the claims about his proximity to the Tiananmen Square Massacre in a May 2014 congressional hearing.
Student protests, we get it, we get it.
The New York Times went on to report, inaccurately, that he was in Hong Kong just across the Chinese border.
It's amazing what the New York Times does, isn't it?
Right here, I read it for you.
The guy wasn't there.
We got newspaper clippings from back in the day and they're outright saying, nah.
What did the New York Times do to verify these claims?
I am sick of these scumbags.
You know how it used to be, my friends?
It used to be that if you were going to report something, you need three sources' independent confirmation.
That means if Tim Walz looks you in the eyes and says, you know, I was at Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square, and I decided to go in, you'd go, that's a bold claim there, Tim Walz.
Let's see if we can verify it.
Then you'd find an old pilot for a plane that says, I remember the day Tim Walz got on my plane to fly to China.
It was in this date at this time and he was there.
You find a guy who was in Hong Kong who says, I was standing alongside him as we were looking across the border and we knew it was going down.
And then you need a third, a third independent source not coming from the person making the claim.
That was the rule back in the day.
Now I tell you what they do.
Well, it's all dirty games, my friends.
First, they'll often just say this.
A source claims thing happened.
That way they can report it without verifying thing happened.
It used to be that a newspaper would say, Tim Walz did thing.
And they'd be like, well, we have three independent sources that have confirmed this thing happened.
Now what they do is sources say colon Tim Walz did thing.
And they'll be like, we have a source who claims Tim Walp did a superhero backflip off of a three-story building and superhero landing, leaving a crater in the earth.
And then you're like, that's the stupidest thing I ever heard.
What source told you that and why would you publish it?
And they're like, is a homeless guy in the back, in the alley back there?
Seemed to be a little out of it, but sources say, am I right?
One of the games they play, and I'll give you an exaggerated version, is they'll be like, sources close to Nancy Pelosi's office suggest that she has kicked a dog.
And then you're gonna be like, wow, sources close to her office?
Well, what does that really mean?
It was a homeless guy who was sleeping behind it.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Well, he was physically close to her office.
And he is a source.
But we don't reveal the identity of our sources.
Those are the dirty games they play.
Though to be honest, if somebody did actually tell me that Nancy Pelosi kicked a dog, I might be inclined to believe it.
I'm not a fan of Nancy Pelosi.
Anyway, the New York Times publishes this garbage, but this is even, this is funnier.
Where is the source or confirmation on this claim that Tim Walz was actually there?
I'll tell you what they did.
They probably read it, they probably googled it, and they were like, look at this.
It's been reported, therefore we report it.
It's absolutely insane.
The state of this country, my friends, where we are currently at.
Here you go, here's the newspaper clippings.
This is what they say, 1989.
They say he didn't even leave till August, but he lied about it.
Free Beacon also reports Walt's exaggerated number of trips to China because he was so proud of his extensive experience report.
Now that he's being called out for having suspicious connections to the Chinese Communist Party, he's now trying to say, actually, it's a lot lower than that.
He didn't do anything wrong.
I don't think that's the reason.
I think the dude's a liar.
I think his whole life is lies and manipulations because he is a bad person.
And you know what?
Some people are bad, some people are good, some people are in between, and Tim Walz just happened to be one of the bad guys.
He said he went on around 15 trips, rather than over 30, stating before.
Again, as I think now that we're starting to draw scrutiny for his constant trips and strange connections, he's trying to downplay it.
But you know, my friends, let's see how this plays out tonight.
Newsweek reports Democrats are lowering expectations about Tim Walz before the Vance debate.
Yeah, this is going to be brutal.
Now, look, I got to tell you, my friends, Donald Trump is a hothead.
And Kamala Harris played him like a fiddle.
I don't care what y'all say.
I don't care if you're gonna sit here and be like, Donald Trump is the greatest!
You can never do anything wrong!
People get so mad at me for criticizing.
Well, too bad.
It's gonna happen.
Donald Trump is the right choice.
He's the better choice.
He won that debate for one reason.
Kamala Harris did not articulate her economic positions.
She did not give a plan to the American people.
She did not give a plan on immigration.
So what happens?
She flies down to the border.
She's desperate.
See, Donald Trump may be a hothead who got played like a fiddle, like I said, but what does that mean?
It means Kamala Harris was told, probably by our debate prep team, when you debate Donald Trump, and this was on the 10th, Poke him.
Say his rallies are bad.
Say he's got bad hair.
Things like that.
Because they know how to grind his gears.
And Donald Trump walked right into it.
But you know what?
In the end, it worked out for Trump.
It really did.
Because afterwards, there was a CNN flash poll, and they found that undecided voters moved towards Trump!
Because they were like, yeah, he may be a hothead, he may have an ego, but he's better on the economy, he's better on immigration, and that's what matters to me today.
So Kamala can try and poke his buttons and get him pissed off.
She was like, Trump's got rallies and people leave.
unidentified
And Trump's like, nobody ever leaves my rallies and never leave.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And it's like, Trump, come on.
Love you, buddy.
You did a great job on foreign policy, and I think there's good things in store for this country should you win.
I think there will be a net positive with some negatives.
Sorry, that's what I meant to say.
I think Donald Trump is the first net positive president I've ever seen.
And I heard this a couple days ago at the Rescue the Republic event as well.
I can't remember who said it.
Might have been Zachary Levi.
But someone was saying that, you know, I always felt like the president was just the lesser of two evils in every election, but this time I genuinely feel like we have some good coming for this country.
And I'm like, that's exactly how I feel.
But all that being said, Kamala Harris, she poked him.
She poked him.
She got him angry.
So a lot of people thought Kamala was going to crash and burn.
I was hearing from everybody like, oh, man, Trump's going to run rings around here.
It's going to be oof, man, so bad.
And I don't know.
She made a big mistake, a tactical error in not playing to the issues and trying to go after Trump.
But in the end, like, it didn't really hurt Trump all that much.
You know, she she she needed that debate to stand up for something and she didn't do it.
Now tonight, my friends, 8pm, youtube.com slash TimCastIRL is going to be our debate show, where we hang out, watch the debate, and criticize them.
So I just want to stress this for everybody.
We get people who tune into TimCastIRL to watch the debate, and they're like, guys, shut up, let's listen to the debate.
And it's like, my guys, this is a commentary show, okay?
So you're going to hear us fact-checking, criticizing during that debate.
And we'll talk over them.
We will.
I try to make sure it's limited because, of course, we all need to hear the debate, too, but it will be happening.
Now, this is where it gets interesting.
The Democrats are trying to lower expectations.
The bar is already very low for Tim Walz, but this is different.
J.D.
Vance is not a hothead.
Like I said, J.D.
Vance is kind of vanilla pudding.
You know, it's there.
You like it.
But if I'm going to a fancy restaurant, I don't know, I want a tiramisu made right there on the spot.
The guy walks out the bowls, preps it for you, pours the, you know, I don't even know what they pour on it.
unidentified
What is it?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Coffee liqueur or something?
And then sprinkles some gold flakes, right?
That's Donald Trump.
unidentified
J.D.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Vance, Vanilla Pudding, he's going to come out and he's going to be stone-faced calm, and he's going to say Tim Walz has lied about his military record over and over again, and it's not appropriate, and Tim Walz is going to be like, I would never criticize someone's service, and J.D.
Vance is going to get the answer in real time.
With all due respect, Governor Walz.
I respect your service.
I don't respect you lying about the extent of your service.
That is inappropriate.
And I think most people in this country would agree.
And it's going to be calm now.
For all I know, J.D.
Vance shows up and he's just out of it and his hair is all messed up and he's got a bottle of Jack or something.
But I really doubt it.
J.D.
Vance is going to show up, clean cut, straightforward, stone-faced, kind of boring, but that's what we need.
And Tim Walz is not going to be able to escape all of these lies.
And I imagine that J.D.
Vance might actually say, why did you make all these trips to China?
What were you working on with the Chinese Communist Party?
This is something the American people need to know, because these connections could implicate you and your ability to do this job without bias.
It's going to be fascinating to see, my friends.
Indeed, it will.
But in the meantime, Trump's up again.
Now, I know Trump is only up a little bit in the battleground states in aggregate, but he went from 0.1 to 0.2.
Hey, he doubled his battleground aggregate support.
I know, I'm saying that's a little bit hyperbolic.
But just yesterday, the aggregate was 0.1.
He's now at 0.2.
He's up in Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia in the aggregate polling, while being down in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
But so long as he wins Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, and Arizona, it's it, he wins.
So I think it was, what was it, Atlas Intel or whatever, ran this current poll.
And based on the current numbers, it's over.
Donald Trump is expected to win as of right now, and we are in the voting period.
But don't count your chickens before they hatch, my friends.
Because I gotta tell you, if you do, you ain't gonna have very many chickens.
Your eggs will break.
And what's the old saying they had?
It's, uh, don't put all your chickens in one basket, because they'll fly away.

...voters, not one of them was undecided.
Wow.
Not one.
Not one.
And headlines come and go, but let me tell you this.
Support for former President Trump is real and resilient.
I encountered that everywhere I went.
And that's something the Harris campaign knows, recognizes.
It's a fact in Michigan.
For this election, would you say your mind is made up?
Yes.
And that is?
Trump.
Okay.
Are you a previous Trump supporter?
The first year he won in 2016, I was not.
Did you vote for Hillary?
I did vote for Hillary, but I cried when she did not win.
Okay.
Then what happened?
And then I just felt like he did a good job.
I like the fact that he was not a politician.
You believe you were better off four years ago?
Oh, absolutely.
Small business owner Andrew Singrati backs Trump, too.
How will you feel if Trump doesn't win?
Petrified.
Petrified?
Petrified.
Of what may be happening?
That's amazing stuff right there.
I got news for you, bunch.
Clinton warns of October surprise that will distort and pervert Harris.
Poor choice of words.
I just hold my breath every day hoping that somebody that I love doesn't get hurt.
Really?
Wow.
Think about it that much.
Yes.

That's amazing stuff right there.
I got news for you bunch.
Clinton warns of October surprise that will distort and pervert Harris.
Poor choice of words.
Seriously, Hillary.
You're trying to avoid that line of thinking.
Because if you want to go that route, I'm pretty sure everyone's going to bring up Mayor Willie Brown and Montel Williams every moment.
But let's just... Okay.
All right, Hillary.
There will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert Kamala Harris, who she is, what she stands for, what she's done.
Clinton said, this is Hillary Clinton.
She pointed to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.
I mean, look, I mean the crazy story about me running a child trafficking operation out of a basement of a pizzeria.
And I would agree completely with Clinton that was the stupidest thing imaginable that people fell for that was silly.
Now, don't get me wrong.
I don't trust the Clintons as it pertains to whatever's going on in Haiti and the Clinton Foundation.
But a pizzeria basement?
Just weird, okay?
Don't laugh, Clinton told the crowd.
It was a huge story and it got one young man in North Carolina to get in his car with, you know, assault rifle, drove up to liberate the non-existent children and shoot up a pizzeria.
Well, he fired a rifle around into the floor.
There was no basement there.
This is dangerous stuff.
It starts online, often on the dark web.
It migrates.
It's picked up by the pro-Trump media, then reported on by everybody else, which makes sure it's about 100% coverage and people believe it.
Okay.
Well, good luck, Hillary!
Because I gotta tell you guys, you don't need no October surprise when dock workers from Maine and Texas have gone on strike.
It was around midnight, I believe, the strike was announced.
So the most important thing y'all are gonna do right now is start getting ready.
My friends, costs are about to spike, imports are gonna get shut down, and the East Coast is going to see shortages and major price spikes because these are the people that bring in your goods.
And this is gonna make a big point Donald Trump needs to hammer home.
Alright?
Donald Trump is talking about bringing our jobs back here to get the job done.
We can't rely so heavily on imports.
We do need imports.
But we're gonna learn a strong lesson here.
You wanna know what's scary?
These videos out of China, where all of their dock working is automated.
They have self-driving cars, they have self-operating machines, and they have like one guy sitting there with a clipboard, and he's like, seems like it's all working.
The shipping containers come in, the robots deal with it, and there's no people.
This is where we are going.
And they tell you, they say, it should be a good thing that technology has made it easier to live, but it's disruptive to economies.
Through no fault of their own, these longshoremen will find themselves unable to feed their families.
And I don't respect that.
I'm not a strong laissez-faire capitalist.
I don't see reason why we as a society say to one of these longshoremen, You're going to work a job.
We need you.
You bring these shipping containers in, you offload goods, you get them out of trucks, you make sure that the food we need coming from imports, the products we need, the beers we like to drink are handled properly, and cars.
And then one day, the boss comes in and says, we're going to replace all of you with robots.
Now, I understand technological improvements, and I appreciate them and support them.
But then you've got some dude, middle-aged, working-class guy, and he says, whoa, how am I going to feed my family?
And they say, too effing bad.
That is a problem.
I want to advance.
I want to simplify things.
But this means that these people are going to be out of work and they did nothing wrong.
They helped us as a society, they did a job we needed, technology advanced, and now they're gone?
Nah.
We need something else.
And I don't accept this stupid, why don't you learn to code?
You're not going to take a dude who's worked in the docks for 20 years and be like, be a computer programmer.
What are you talking about?
These people have managed to run These machines, these ports.
So my friends, what I can really just say is we need to figure this one out because I don't got good answers.
I'm certainly not suggesting universal basic income or anything like that.
I'm saying we got to figure out how we wean off of these things and be competitive internationally, realizing that it's disruptive to our economy.
So we'll see what happens, man.
I know that we're all really concerned about the shadow campaign.
Trump says he'll prosecute Google over election interference in a second term.
It's going to get wild, my friends.
It's going to get wild.
We'll see what Trump ends up doing.
But I hope he wins.
I stand with those people in Michigan who are worried.
Look, you know, we we operated out of the D.C.
I'm sorry, out of the Philly Burbs, sort of the other side of the river.
I was in New York for a long time, and I got away from these places before it got as bad as it did, because I saw it getting bad.
Now we're out about an hour and a half from D.C.
I went into D.C.
the other day for this event, and there are homeless camps randomly in the middle of D.C.
I'm looking at, we're in Georgetown, right?
In the D.C.
neighborhood, and there's just tents on the sidewalk.
I'm not kidding, just straight on the sidewalk, there's like a row of tents of homeless people just living on the street.
And this is a nice area, I'm like, yo, what is happening?
Something has to be done about this.
We need help.
I hope Donald Trump can provide those answers.
I tell you what, with the mass influx of illegal immigrants, it's only going to make things worse.

Well, they never put us on and said your sales don't count for some BS reason.
Whatever.
So we were like, okay, we're gonna make the song coming home.
I want You know, look, I don't know, you don't got to agree with me, it's fine, but this song is about how our cities have been failed by our politicians.
And I want, personally, that song to hit those charts so we can say, hey, you know that song about, I don't know, they're dancing in the club and drinking whiskey?
That's great, right?
Our song is about the decay of our city streets and the failure of our politicians to stand for what this country needs.

And I went, oh, crap.
Y'all better get your gear now.

You know, it was like a week before the hurricane hit, Hurricane Helene.
I was talking about how when, in storms, you're supposed to fill up your bathtub.
I was like, you know, Chicago gets really bad thunderstorms.
They say fill up your bathtub because if the water gets shut down for some reason, you're gonna have, what, 30 to 50 gallons or whatever.
I don't know how much a bathtub holds.
But you're gonna need that for cooking, for drinking, Yo, the hurricane hit some areas, they've got no running water.
None.
And that's a desperate situation.
So I'm telling you now, I don't know what you need.
Emergency food?
Safeandreadymeals.com.
Gold, perhaps?
Why?
Well, gold is a store of value.
If economic crisis hits, and the dollar is just flattened, gold seems to make sense.
But I'm not telling you to buy it, because I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know what you need.
See, I think food's a normal thing.
Like, you buy the food, you have it.
And I don't know what else to tell you, man, but with these imports getting locked up, you might not be able to get a computer.
They're going to run out of computers at best, but we're not getting any anytime soon.
We don't know.
They're going to start coming in from the West Coast, maybe, and then if they're operating, I don't know, man.
It's getting crazy.
Bender the Offender says, with everything going sideways recently, the Black Swan event is becoming more likely with each passing day.
Right before an election, man.
A Black Swan October surprise.
Do not be shocked if it happens.
I'm sick of this, dude.
I am sick of this.
That I can say something like, hey man, look.
I don't know what you need.
I don't know what's going to happen.
During thunderstorms, you fill up your bathtub.
And guess what happened?
If anybody was in that storm and got cut off from their power and water, and they did fill up their bathtubs, they got that water right there, right now.
I hope they listened.
Because I don't know what's going to happen.
But I tell you this.
If a thunderstorm came, and you filled up your bathtub, and then the storm passed and everything was fine, you drain your bathtub, nobody cares.
But in the event the water goes down, the electricity goes down, you got water.
I say this all the time.
During COVID, when it started, I did a shoutout for safeandreadymeals.com, and all these leftists are laughing and saying, haha, you're so dumb, and I'm like, listen, I hope I'm wrong, but y'all can sit in your cities without water or food, I don't care.
My worst case scenario, in the event that I buy emergency food, it's as simple as this.
I got a bunch of food stored in my closet, 25 years it can last.
Worst case scenario is, the apocalypse actually happens.
Or some disaster, and then I'm forced to consider rationing out my emergency food, but at least I got some.
Let's say, financially the worst case scenario is, I bought a bunch of emergency food, then heavens to Betsy, nothing happened!
I got good news, it's food, you can eat it.
It's insane to me that people are like, you're so dumb, what are you preparing for?
Not the apocalypse, dude.
Sometimes it rains.
But I gotta tell you right now, It kind of feels like we are staring at a potential apocalyptic scenario.
Probably won't happen.
I'm just going to say it like that.
I don't know.
Probably won't happen.
But Israel invaded southern Lebanon.
Lebanon launches missiles at Tel Aviv.
Now Iran is preparing a missile strike against Israel.
The U.S.

And I hope and I pray I'm wrong, and the news is wrong, and it doesn't happen.
Iran is trying to assassinate Donald Trump.
And there are people who don't want to believe it, and they're like, I don't know, I think it's a deep state.
Guys, they said they want to do it!
Like, the Supreme, like, Ayatollah comes out and he's like, we will have divine retribution against Donald Trump and the United States for the killing of Soleimani.
They say it explicitly.
We are staring at something dangerous, so you do whatever you want, man.
I'm a crazy guy on the internet, ranting, holding up a sign saying the end is nigh.
I'm completely wrong all the time.
Don't listen to a word I say.
I got no idea what I'm talking about.
You do what you gotta do.
Look, man.
I say, what am I more worried about?
That I could be wrong about this?

I think they're hoping to start a war so that Trump's gonna win and they can't stop him.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have massive news, and by the time you watch this segment, it may have already reached a tipping point.
NBC News is reporting that Iran is preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack at Israel.
The Israeli military says its troops are conducting limited, localized, and targeted ground raids in southern Lebanon, a major escalation of its conflict with the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
The news coming out of yesterday and extending into today is that Israel has invaded Lebanon.
Yeah, I'm sick to my stomach on this one, my friends.
Because I gotta tell you, let's start right with the beginning, and I will be as divisive as I can be.
I'm gonna tell you as I see it.
I am terrified of what this means.
We've got this story.
The Tennessee National Guard is preparing to deploy into the Middle East.
Rockets are being launched at base housing U.S.
troops near Baghdad airport as tensions escalate.
Explosions are rocking Tel Aviv.
Hezbollah unleashes a barrage of missiles.
Now, I'm not a historian who's going to talk to you about Israel-Palestine or make any of those arguments.
I don't know, man.
I'm some American dude from the south side of Chicago.
That's it.
That means I grew up with Maxwell Street Polish, grilled onions and mustard.
Ain't nothing about Israel-Palestine.
I don't know.
What I can tell you right now is, from where I'm at, we're entrenched and facing an impasse.
This is expected.
Israel is not going to allow Hezbollah to launch missiles endlessly into Tel Aviv, into the northern territories in Israel.
They're not going to allow that.
You know, I saw a tweet where someone said, all these people who keep claiming that Israel has a right to defend themselves sure do get mad when they do.
But I'll tell you my limits, okay?
I see those posts and I'm like, It's hard for me to argue, okay?
I know the Palestine-Israel thing is crazy, settlements in the West Bank.
Man, I don't know.
What I can tell you is that Hamas attacked Israel and took a bunch of hostages.
There's no justification for that.
You don't get to be like, yeah, well, they're oppressed, so they're allowed.
No, you don't, okay?
Look, we have concepts of what is justifiable and what is not justifiable.
And the most effective protests we see in these situations is not Tearing down, like blowing things up, storming into homes and massacring elderly people and kidnapping people.
Music festivals?
Nah, that's not how you do it.
Israel, of course, is going to launch a reprisal against Hamas for doing it.
What do you expect?
I think it's funny because a lot of people then say, oh yeah, well, you know, Netanyahu and Israel, they knew it was going to happen.
And I'm like, even if that were true, are you implying it's Israel's fault that someone planned an attack against them?
Like, you know, if I'm standing up at a bar and someone's like, hey, watch out for that guy, he's going to hit you.
I'd be like, let him try.
Yeah, sure.
And then when he hits me and I hit him back, they're like, you knew he was going to do it!
And I'm like, what?
You know what?
Am I supposed to back down and cower every time someone threatens me?
So again, I can't speak to the history.
And I know the immediate response to all this is going to be people going, yeah, but Israel did this and Israel did that.
Dude, I can tell you this.
All I know is Hamas attacks Israel, Israel retaliates.
Hezbollah has been firing missiles into Israel nonstop.
Israel is going to retaliate.
That's it.
You can talk about whatever you want to talk about.
Now I'll tell you where I draw that line, because I'm seeing, when I see people say things like, Israel's launching the pager attack and the walkie-talkie attack against Hezbollah because Hezbollah's firing missiles on them, I'm like, welcome to war, baby.
You launch a missile at somebody, don't expect to walk away clean.
But now we've got an invasion of Hezbollah.
And I still understand that component where it's like, Israel got attacked by Hezbollah.
They're going to shut them down to stop the rocket fire.
What I'm seeing now is people posting, this is the liberation of Lebanon.
The Christians who used to be in charge before the militant Islamists in Hezbollah took over are welcoming this as a liberation.

This is escalating us to a dangerous precipice that I don't want the United States to be involved in.
But there's harsh realities here.
Harsh realities that the United States has built up over generations that aren't so easy to answer.
I certainly don't have the answers for you.
But here we are right now.
Let me give you some of the news before I continue ranting.
New York Times reports Israeli forces launched a rare ground invasion of southern Lebanon.
Rare?
The Israeli military sharply tightened restrictions on civilians in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Tuesday, a sign that it was bracing for further reprisals from the Lebanese militia, Hezbollah, or its benefactor, Iran.
The announcement of the restrictions, including new limits on gatherings in Israel's urban core, arrived hours after the military confirmed that its force had crossed into Lebanon in an operation aimed at Hezbollah targets in the rugged border region.
It said that one army division, which typically numbers more than 10,000 soldiers, was involved in conducting limited, localized, and targeted raids along the border, although it was unclear how many of those troops were inside Lebanon.
That appeared to be a smaller force than the two divisions Israel sent into the Gaza Strip last October.
But the number of troops deployed in northern Israel in recent days has fueled speculation that a broader operation could be coming.
Three Israeli officials speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military matter said the parts of the invasion force could advance several miles beyond the border.

officials said on Monday they believed Israel's invasion would be limited and that Israel had assured them there was no plan for a bigger operation by conventional forces or a prolonged occupation.
I don't care and don't think it matters.
This is reckless escalation.
Look, I get it.
I know what we're going to hear.
We're going to hear a lot of people saying, do you expect Israel just to allow Hezbollah to keep firing missiles at them?
They have to make it stop.
It's hard to disagree.
I mean, honestly, it really is hard to disagree.
If someone is shooting at you, do you just stand back and be like, well, we're going to stand here and defend ourselves?
Or do you say that person has to be stopped from shooting at us?
I wish I had easier answers for you, my friends.
I really do.
Because I am not, I oppose intervention.
I do not like the U.S.
going across the world and doing all these things.
But I will tell you this, Israel and Ukraine are two different countries.
You know, I talked about it before.
Where there was an interview, and I can't remember who it was.
It might have been Tulsi.
I don't think it was Tulsi.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Where somebody said, you know, why we shouldn't be funding Ukraine.
And they said, what about Israel?
And I said, well, Israel's different.
And they get roasted by the left.
But I'll tell you, Israel is different.
Ukraine is not a generational longstanding ally that we have funded to a massive degree.
It's a former Soviet bloc satellite that after the fall of the Soviet Union just kind of fell into the dirt.
We made a promise, not really a treaty, that if they gave up their nuclear weapons, we'd defend them.
That's probably the best argument for why we should.
I still don't completely agree with it.
So when Russia invades Ukraine, I'll tell you the reason we're getting involved in it.
Because NATO is expanding on Russia's border, and we're trying to shut Russia out from the Black Sea to control the price of energy into Europe.
I don't care for any of that ridiculous military strategies.
Look, there's compromise here, and it's better than war.
Israel I would also agree.
If we could go back in time, I'd say, what are we funding this operation for?
You know, it's laughable to me.
You get all these people who think the tail wags the dog, Israel controls the United States, and I'm like, guys, I feel like that is so, I don't know, myopic.
These people genuinely want to believe that Israel just runs the United States.
And I'm like, no.
There, of course, is influence from Israel on the U.S.
But look at what the U.S.
has been doing in the Middle East for generations.
Look at the overthrowing of the government in Iran.
The U.S.
and the funding of Egypt.
Israel is just another cog in the machine, but it was easier to overthrow and take... Look, let me put it this way.
We invade Iraq, the United States.
Mistake.
We do it anyway.
We invade Afghanistan.
They're trying to nation-build.
People always say, oh, Israel is a liberal, secular democracy.
Well, it's not really secular, but it's more secular and free than all these other places.
This is the U.S.
operation.
They say, look at South Korea.
The U.S.
is quote-unquote spreading democracy, homogenizing these cultures to fall in line with our way of life.
Compare South Korea to North Korea.
South Korea is K-pop plastic surgery and eating pizza with squid ink on it.
That's what they were selling when I went there.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
They eat other stuff.
Korean barbecue.
Kimchi is fantastic.
But South Korea, which the U.S.
has occupied for some 50-plus years, what are we going on, like 70 years?
They turned that country into an American vassal.
Now, I like South Korea, okay?
Like, that's where part of my family is from.
Going back a couple generations, of course.
Then you look at Israel.
Our involvement, our funding of the state, turns them into a vassal.
Now, of course, South Korea has some influence in the United States.
They don't really push as hard.
Israel has massive influence in the United States, because they want more support, more weapons.
But I look at it like, We get involved in Israel a long time ago and fund them, and the nation develops under the U.S.
control.
Now, Israel, of course, has interests.
They have PACs.
But it's only possible because people in the United States like Israel.
I was talking to a guy, and I said to him that, you know, look, man, you go to the average person in the street in D.C.
or major cities, and you ask them, should we support Israel?
They're going to tell you yes.
Maybe it's religious.
I don't know.
But it's true.
The polls show people largely do.
So there's a difference here.
I would love a world where we are not spending all of our money on these foreign excursions, invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, funding Israel.
I think we shouldn't have started funding Ukraine.
But there's a big difference between Ukraine and Israel.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and we're not going to withdraw from it in a day.
The support we have for Israel right now, if we are to stop, Israel just crumbles, and they're about to face a missile strike from Iran.
If they do, and I've said this a million times, because it's a horrifying prospect, and you can hate it all you want, but it is true.
Ben Shapiro pointed it out.
Ben Shapiro said, if we abandon Israel, and Israel then gets overrun by its enemies that surround it, they may resort to the Samson option, which is when they say, we're going to fire a nuclear weapon because we're facing an existential threat.
That would escalate things by ten orders of magnitude.
Like, just massive escalation overnight.
Now, I think it's kind of disgusting.
Well, Ben's response is, so we have to keep providing this defense.
And I'm like, we're being held hostage?
Well, unfortunately, this is what your previous generations have left for you.
So you look at the withdrawal from Afghanistan as our best example.
When the United States withdrew from Afghanistan and botched and ruined the whole thing, it's a catastrophe.
People died.
U.S.
men and women in uniform died.
The Taliban seizes control of all those weapons and resources.
You gotta understand that the same thing's gonna happen if we have a botched withdrawal from support of Israel.
So I'm not one of these guys gonna come sit here and tell you that Israel runs the world.
It's ridiculous.
They have influence in the United States, no question.
AIPAC is powerful.
But only powerful because people in the U.S.
and members of Congress genuinely want Israel under our influence.
So it's inverse influence.
But the U.S.
is getting what it wants out of it.
If we were to right now today say, cut them off, you're on your own, it's catastrophe.
I would be totally on board with, let's start working towards ending this relationship, you're on your own.
America should be securing America's interests.
But the military-industrial complex, the IMF, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, and all these institutions want Israel as a hub in the Middle East, the same as they wanted Afghanistan to turn into democracy or whatever.
Make no mistake.
That was the plan for Afghanistan.
They wanted a multi-generational occupation of Afghanistan so the people who live there grew up under our rules and started to emulate our culture.
That's what they wanted.
And when we set a timeline to get up because it wasn't working and it's stupid anyway, what do we get?
Biden's failure causes catastrophe in the region.
Destabilization.
You know, I wish the world was as simple as a lot of people just say, cut off the funding in this country and that country, just do it now.
And I'm like, man, I want less war, not more.
And if you look at what happened in Afghanistan, we're creating more conflict and crisis.
Reportedly, now the Taliban's been selling off U.S.
weapons to people who know how to use them.
Iran, namely, they're using those weapons on us in other places.
I don't like what's going on.
You know, Ron Paul made a point a long time ago, he said, When it comes to the withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, they say we can't because we have no exit strategy.
And he says, B.S.
If you prescribe the wrong medication, you get them off of it.
I would add to that, yes, but if someone's addicted to opiates, you can't just take them off right away because the withdrawal would kill them.
But you do immediately begin weaning them off of that.
You don't sit around and wait and say, we'll figure it out when we can figure it out.
No, no, no.
We do that now.
And now that we're facing World War III, perhaps that is what we need to be doing.
We need to be saying, okay, time for us to wash our hands of this.
We do not want to be involved in World War III.
Look, I like Israel.
I do.
And I will not tolerate enemies wiping out a nation.
unidentified
Right?
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
Or adversaries of Israel wiping them out.
I think that is a devastating outcome that nobody wants.
Certainly there's a lot of people who believe crazy things who want it.
No, I don't.
I don't want to see a reality where Israel launches any kind of missiles or nuclear strikes.
I don't want any of that.
I do fear that if we cut off Israel and say you're on your own, they get flattened instantly.
I fear that if the Gaza Strip, for instance, is opened up, as the leftist activists are demanding for, you're going to get October 7th all over again.
So I don't have good answers for you.
I don't like being involved, but we're entrenched.
That's a reality.
So the best way out of this is gonna require strategy.
In the meantime, when I hear that we're sending U.S.
troops, National Guard, into the Middle East, I'm just starting to get pissed off.
And I gotta be honest with you guys.
I don't believe that Donald Trump is gonna have all the answers.
We may be looking at an escalation of war that Trump can't solve.
Now Trump's pro-Israel.
I can't imagine Trump getting in office and then being like, uh, no, no help for you, Israel.
No, I imagine Trump getting in and saying, we're going to give Israel everything they need.
Same with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris.
I think Trump is the better option for negotiating peace and will bring us closer to it.
But if this conflict escalates right now to this degree, Trump's going to get an office and inherit wars he cannot stop.
I said this a couple of years ago.
You know, with the Ukraine war, Trump gets in, that war ends.
Conversation with Vladimir Putin, conversation with Zelensky, and we wrap this thing up.
And it means concessions, but it means no more killing, no more dying.
We shouldn't be involved in this.
Ain't gonna be so easy with Israel.
I hear this all the time, everybody's got an answer, Israel, Palestine.
Look, that's why I just say, I don't know, man.
Because you get the Palestine people saying, Israel was offered a solution, they refused.
And then Israel says, what are you talking about?
We are... Eh, dude, I'm not interested.
I'm telling you right now, Israel is invading Lebanon and it's worrying.
And the argument is, well, missiles are being launched at them.
It's true.
Israel didn't start firing at Hezbollah, Hezbollah started firing at Israel.
So I don't have any good answers for you.
If Iran is to launch, we'll pull up another source on this one, a ballistic strike.
I think we're going to see a dramatic escalation.
We've already got troops going in.
U.S.
warns Israel of imminent Iranian missile attack.
IDF says its defenses are ready.
It's wild, dude.
What do we have here?
Turkey, Belgium, Bulgaria join countries calling on their citizens to leave Lebanon.
I mean, we're looking at missile strikes into Beirut.
This is full-scale war.
It has begun.
Israel at war, day 361.
This spreads.
I don't see any alternative.
There's no off-ramp here.
Here we go, 16 minutes to go.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will lead the Friday prayer in Tehran this week and deliver a sermon that is expected to set the tone for Iran's strategy against Israel.
Khamenei only leads the Friday prayer under extraordinary circumstances.
The last time was 2020 after Iran launched ballistic missiles against an American base in Iraq following the killing of Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani.
They say the Israeli military said it had once again attacked in Beirut, with Lebanon's state-run news agency reporting two separate strikes on nearby buildings, both of which are close to the main road leading to Beirut's airport.
Smoke could be seen rising above the city's skyline following the attack, and ambulances heard rushing to the scene.
Wild, man.
We have the map here.
This is crazy.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
What is this?
Are they showing us what this is?
So here's the current map of northern Israel and Lebanon, and it says, towns Israel told residents to leave.
Look at all these locations.
Military zone closed by Israel.
This is a large swath, a large portion of Lebanon, many towns being told to get out by Israel.
This is going to expand.
New York Times is reporting Iran is poised to launch an attack on Israel.
Three Israeli officials said the attack would involve unmanned drones and missiles fired towards Israel.
One of the U.S.
officials said it would involve ballistic missiles, while the second said that it was unclear what kind of attack would be launched.
The officials also spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military matter.
Any attack would significantly raise the risk of an all-out war between Israel and Iran, including its proxies across the Middle East.
For years, the two countries have fought a shadow war, with Iran seeking Israel's destruction and Israel seeking to blunt Iran's regional influence.
My friends, if Iran launches a strike on Israel, And this escalates into a full-scale conflict.
The U.S.
is involved.
It's not about, will it get involved?
Well, it is.
The U.S.
is already trying to build a beachhead in Gaza, a port for delivering supplies to the humanitarian aid.
Get out of here with that, dude.
We know what's going on.
They're building a dock so they could ship in materials for Israel.
That's a beachhead.
The port got washed away.
It's rather shockingly pathetic.
But the U.S.
already has boots on the ground in the area.
If Iran begins striking more U.S.-based housing with U.S.
troops and Iran's at war with Israel, the U.S.
is in the war.
And if the U.S.
is now split with the Middle Eastern front and our support for Ukraine, China moves into Taiwan.
No question.
The U.S.
cannot handle a wide-scale war like this.
Europe, what the E.U.
would have to mobilize.
And then things get nuts.
You know what, man?
There's no easy answers.
And everybody thinks there is.
Everybody wants there to be, but there are no easy answers, okay?
The scenario I often give people to try and understand what we're looking at, because they think it's so simple.
People get naive.
They're like, why can't you just go to Iran and say, hey, look, I meet these activists and they're like, you know, we don't want to go to war.
It's our leaders.
They're just crazy and they hate each other.
I saw this one cartoon once where there's an Israeli guy at a podium yelling and an Iranian guy at a podium, and then underneath the podium, two hands are reaching out and sharing roses.
But they don't get it.
What the people often don't understand is the reasons for the war are not whimsical.
Iran's got resources that it needs and its people want to expand its economy.
Israel, all the same.
Then you've got ideological conflict.
The support or opposition of Palestine and Gaza and these things.
There's no answer there.
There's no simple solution.
That's kind of the running gag, that Israel-Palestine peace in the Middle East can't be solved.
I often try to present these scenarios to people where I say, imagine, you're in the middle of the woods, you've got a rifle, small bag of food, and a water canteen.
And you're walking, you're lost.
You have no idea where anything is, there's no civilization.
Let's say the apocalypse happened.
And then you see a guy, 100 yards down, Looks just like you.
Same clothes, carrying a weapon.
What do you do?
And a lot of people, it's a thought experiment with no answer, right?
I hear a lot of people and they say, I'll yell to him.
I say, oh, okay, you yell to him.
He jumps and hides behind a tree.
What do you do now?
Like, I don't know.
Or how about this?
You yell to him.
You say, hey, hello.
And he yells back, gabba da boop boop.
And you're like, what?
And he goes, blagga blagga.
He doesn't speak English.
What do you do?
And there's a lot of risks to a scenario like this.
Do you slowly approach the person?
You start approaching him.
He puts his hand up.
He's scared.
Who are you?
What are you doing?
Get away from me.
I got no food.
I'm going to die.
Get away.
Or he smiles and he says, come, come, come over here.
And you do.
And then he shoots you and takes your stuff.
You just don't know.
It's a thought experiment with no solution.
You put your weapon down, hold your hands in there and say, I need help.
And the guy says, yeah, I'll help you.

Takes your food and your water.
Or why would he assume that you're not going to do the same thing?
It's an impasse.
Now consider this, in these scenarios, there is a small pool of water that is fresh and clean, in rocks, and you look at it, and you're like, there's some water.
And he looks at it, and you look at it, and you're like, I need that water, I'm dying.
And he goes, yeah, sorry, I need water, I'm dying.
Or make it worse, your family is huddled behind you, and so is his family, and he says, I'm sorry, my children need this water, and I will not let you take it.
This is how war comes to be.
It's not arbitrary.
Many of these activists think that war is like two guys just being like, you know, I'm going to bang my chest because I deserve these things.
They're calculated.
They're absolutely calculated for power and control.
And there's no easy way out.
Israel has been a project of the West for generations.
You're not going to overnight walk away from it.
You can't do it.
And the people there will be bombed to oblivion by their surrounding enemies if we abandon that.
We don't want to be involved, our generation.
I had nothing to do with it, but here we are entrenched.
As I said, Rome wasn't built in a day, you can't knock it down in a day.
Well, you can knock it down in a day, but we're trying to make sure that if and when we leave, they're not going to be wiped out.
There's no easy answer.
Welcome to war.
That's why war happens, because there is no easy answer.
That's the terrifying reality of all this, man.
I hope and I pray that Donald Trump gets elected and can solve these problems, because it certainly is not getting solved under Biden-Harris.
It's only being made worse.
And I will stress this, and I will scream this again, my friends.
Biden and Harris have been in office now three and a half years, and look at what we are getting.
Okay?
The conflict is growing.
It's getting worse.
I see one path forward, and it's a long shot, but it's Donald Trump.
If he gets elected, maybe he can negotiate something out of this.

I do the same thing, and people are like, nah, that can't happen.

Kamala Harris is a lefty who's all about taxing the rich.

Minnesota food pantry bans white people.
Says resources are only for black and indigenous folks.
And was this not the expected outcome of all of these crackpot racist policies?
That we're at the point now where they're not going to give you food if you're white.
What do you think's going to happen if this country actually falls to these commies?
And we actually start getting government policy based on these things.
Now they're going to say, you can't buy this thing because you're white.
You can't have this thing.

It's our new song.

Please buy the song on iTunes.
If every single person who watched this video bought that song, which is about our cities crumbling and failing under these policies that have turned our once great cities into homeless, human waste dump sites, well, we'd be number one.
And I think it would say something great if a song about something like this could be culturally relevant to this country.
Unfortunately, I think the reality is quite simple.
The songs that are going to be at the top of the charts are going to be about big butts drinking booze and, I don't know, that dude who was making a music video where he was getting down with the devil.
Literally.
And he put blood in his shoes or something like this.
Shoes got pulled.
But you know what I'm talking about.
When we look at our cities crumbling, the degeneracy is not just in our city streets and the failed policies, it's in our culture as well.
So if you want to support our work, please check out the song Coming Home, buy it on iTunes, and like I said, if every single person who watched this video bought the song, we'd be number one, and that would mean something.
If you don't like the song, that's fine, I get it, but I'd like it to matter.
Post-Millennial Reports.
A Minneapolis food pantry is only giving food to black and indigenous people.
Those who are hungry and white are told not to take the resources available.
Mikello Keiko Jackson, who runs the food pantry, was awarded a Minnesota state grant to open the food pantry.
So, uh, of course, this is all deeply illegal.
The sign in the pantry reads, The resources found in here are intended for Black and Indigenous folks.
Please refrain from taking anything if you're not.
An August post emphasizing the mission, saying, With the help of our community and MDH, the African American Health Office, we've distributed 2,249 pounds of food to Black and Indigenous folks in North Minneapolis.
This is what liberation looks like on a small scale.
We'd like to say thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative, donated their time and resources to be in aid of CommUnity.
This is the exact type of policy that is burning down our cities.
And you know the ideology, this is where they're going with it.
You guys know I grew up in Chicago, alright?
I grew up in an area where if you crossed one street north, 47th to 46th, everyone who lived there was black and south of it was largely white with some Hispanic migrants, some Polish migrants.
It was racially divided, completely.
These are how these cities operate.
Many people have said to me that, you know, these Democrats advocate for reparations.
That is, financial resources and economic and government resources, which are taken from the people by the way, allocated to someone based on race.
And I said, now hold on there a gosh darn minute.
We are generations upon generations away from the Civil War.
We have people who perhaps could use some help.
But right now, we got poor white people, poor black people, poor Latino people.
Why not help poor people?
Why help a racial group?
Not every black person is poor.
Not every white person is rich.
They don't care.
And I'll tell you, you implement these policies in poor areas, and you will get riots and violence.
You go into a poor area, Where you've got, let's say it's a largely black area, impoverished, but you've got white and Latino people who live there.
And then, when they're giving out food, they say the white person can't have it.
Yo, his friends who are black are gonna get mad at you.
They're gonna say, don't you tell my boy he can't have food.
We're all in this.
That's why I can't stand these people.
You know...
I had friends growing up, white, black, Asian, all that stuff, and we were all in the same boat.
And if you were racist to my friends, and you treated them like crap, you were going to get a mouthful from us.
We're not going to tolerate that.
And the same was true for us.
So seeing this in the inverse, it's the same thing, I shouldn't even call it the inverse, it is the disgusting result of what their policies are trying to build.
They say Jackson's policy forced the food pantry to close down and open another location.
After opening on July 27th on the north side of the city, near the Sanctuary Covenant Church, Jackson let it be known that white people were not welcome to the food for the poor.
Local chaplain Howard Dotson, 54, said he went to the food pantry but was denied entry due to his race.
He's white.
This is not building community, it's destroying it.
I went over there and confronted her.
I told her that I saw the sign and I asked if she really thought she could take grant money from the state and discriminate against poor white people.
He filed a complaint, which Jackson said was an exhibition of his white privilege.
Crazy.
Jackson said, there was no one there directly turning them away.
They felt entitled to the resources that were not for their demographic.
unidentified
I despise these racists.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
White privilege is real.
I'm going to say that Dotson had engaged in political violence.
The FTP bodega is currently closed while we prepare for its relocation to Zara Wellness.
Jackson wrote, We'd like to thank Sanctuary Church for their initial partnership which allowed us to make an idea into a reality.
This project has been a huge learning experience and as we navigate through our mission we are becoming more aligned with our community and the work we're trying to do.
She also said that the sanctuary church may not be fully aligned with our mission, which she attributed to a recent incident with a Karen.
Although the church likes our concept, they feel our commitment towards directing these resources towards black and indigenous families only is exclusionary to other POC and white members of the community that use their establishments.
She said a taxpayer funded paths to black health grant, providing the capital for Jackson, but the food pantry called food trap project that granting program is intended to address and reduce health disparities for black Americans while contributing to the community and helping it thrive.
The granting program states that the purposes for the program are to identify disparities impacting African American health arising from cumulative and historical discrimination, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, you know what?
Let me tell you this.
Let's say you have 10 poor people.
And you, as a leftist, go, Black people are disproportionately impoverished.
I have a solution.
If you only give resources to the poor, guess what?
By your logic, black people will be disproportionately benefited.
Well, there we go.
Problem solved.
If you have 10 poor people and none of them are black, because that's what they believe, and we say, we're going to give food to each poor person.
Guess what?
90% of the food goes to black people.
So everyone's in agreement, right?
But when you then say, we will only give to black people, there's a poor white man who is starving and you're like, nah, he can't have it.
He's rich.
He's white.
He's got white privilege.
And then he's starving.
You're just a racist, okay?
I want to help everybody.
And by your own logic, this plan would.
So what you're doing makes no sense.
Other than, they're racists who want to be racist.
In an Instagram post, Jackson justified the reason for prohibiting white people.
Did you know white neighborhoods have an average of four times as many supermarkets as predominantly black neighborhoods?
While this number may be a shock to some, it very much reflects current conditions among many BIPOC neighborhoods who've been classified as a food desert.
So if you open up your food pantry in a black neighborhood, you're largely going to be providing that resource.
But I got news for you, ma'am.
White neighborhoods have as many as four times as many supermarkets Black people can live in white neighborhoods, too.
It may be the neighborhood is 80% white, and then 10% black, and those black families go to the supermarket same as everybody else.
So they, the white people, have disproportionate access because it's largely white people.
But the black people can have it, too.
And in a poor neighborhood without supermarkets, there are white people there who are poor.
You can help them, too.
unidentified
You're just a racist.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
You may have heard of food deserts, which refer to areas void of fresh, affordable food, but the term alone does not challenge systemic racism that develops these areas in the first place.
Which is why more people are using the term coined by food justice activist Karen Washington, food apartheid.
Oh my god, these people, they are evil.
She goes on a rant and I'm not going to read her garbage.
The Sanctuary Church said they were essentially misled by the Food Pantry Project, saying when Michaela Jackson approached us to set up the Food Trap Project, FTP, you know what that means, right?
We were excited to support her.
This would be a place accessible to anyone 24-7.
No demographic necessary.
Anyone in need would be welcome.
Nowhere in her original proposal did she indicate that she would be restricting usage to specific communities.
This does not align with the vision and mission of the Sanctuary.
When we discovered her signage in social media posts, we asked her to abide by her original proposal.
Ms.
Jackson was unable to do so and decided to move her food trap somewhere else elsewhere.
The deadline for moving her trap is 9.30.
We've already cut power to it.
Well, look.
She's breaking the law.
What she's doing is overtly illegal.
But they don't care.
They're racists who are breaking the law because they are racists.
Isn't that the whole point?
You know, we created civil rights law because we were like, you shouldn't be able to do this, man.
Everybody is entitled to cooperate and work within society, but they want racial segregation.
I say they're bad people and we should not allow this ideology.
So I'll give a quick shout out to Matt Walsh.
He's finally starting to get some notice in these newspapers, but they're not happy with it.
But this is big news from a couple weeks ago.
Am I racist and God's not dead?

Well, there you go.

Common Sense Fishing says, buy fishing gear, guns, ammo, water, camping supplies, batteries, fire starting stuff, bags, ziplocks, and if nothing crazy happens, then have fun, go fishing, hunting, or camping, nothing lost.
Hear, hear, my friend.

But you plug them into the wall.
They charge up, and they can run anything.
You can plug anything into it.
I got one that they say it's supposed to last five to ten hours.
Plugged in an air conditioner to it, and it lasted 45 minutes.
Air conditioners take a lot of juice.
Trying to cool off the room, but sometimes you gotta do it.
Now, in the event of a major catastrophe, I'll go without air conditioning, right?
But, look, we got a bunch of these things, and they come with solar panels.
Well, you could order the solar panels with them.
We did a test where we bought a bunch and then we laid out like 12 of these little panels and yo, it was wild.
This thing was charging ridiculously fast.
I think it was going to go from like zero to max in like, well, it's not so much that it's five hours.
It's that it can, it'll say 99 hours of power, depending on what you're using.
But with these panels, we were able to charge it up in like two hours.
And then for computers, TVs, it'll last like 12, like ridiculous amount of time.
Like there's very little power.
So, it's super cool.
Now in the event we get a catastrophe, look at what he's saying.
Common sense fishing.
Fishing gear, ammo, water.
Your worst case scenario is the world ends and you're prepared, or you spend all this money, like your best case scenario actually, you spend all this money and you go camping and fishing and hunting with your buddies, and you have a fun trip.
So, you know, we're good friends with the guys over at Fortitude Ranch, which is a, I think they call it like a survival camp or whatever.
I'm an investor as well.
And so shout out to Fortitude Ranch if you guys check them out if you haven't.
And the funny thing is, you buy a space there, and the idea is there's varying degrees.
You're a bachelor, young guy, you can get a bunk in this underground protected thing.
And then there's a bunch of rooms and they have emergency supplies.
But I'll tell you what it really is.
It's a man's retreat.
No, for real.
Because I'm talking to the guys who run it and I'm like, well, you know, let's say someone buys a subscription or like a plan for your fortitude ranch, right?
What are they doing?
And it's like, oh, really?
They just come two weeks out of the year for a vacation in the woods where they can chop wood, tend to the animals and just get back to nature.
And that's mostly what people do.
And I'm like, that sounds just like a man's log cabin timeshare vacation.
Like, yeah, pretty much.
But, if the world does end, you're good, right?
So it's all about that multi-purpose stuff, you know what I'm saying?
Alright, we'll grab some more.
Let's get some more.
What is this?
Pearl Pied says, After all the lies Tim Waltz has been caught in, I think it's safe to call him a pathological liar.
Anytime he can tell a lie, no matter how trivial, he seems to do it.
Big thanks for all your hard work, Mr. Poole.
Really do appreciate it.
And, uh, I will stress again, You know, everybody, if you support the work we're doing, the song is called Coming Home by Timcast on iTunes, and I know I said it a million times, but I really hope, because imagine if I did one video, I get 300,000 viewers on that video, and if everybody who watched was like, yeah, I'll throw a buck to buy the song.
Well, not only would we make 300 grand, which is crazy, but more importantly, it would send a message.
It's, it is a tough thing, right?
Is the song good?
Well, I like it.
I've loved this riff and this verse that I had for a long time, and we're getting a lot of praise for it.
But good really is if the snowball rolls down the hill, everybody shares it, and then you're like, wow, I can't believe everybody loves this song.
Sure.
And the challenge always then is, if people are buying the song but they don't like it, what does that really mean?
Yeah, that's true.
I'd rather have a song stand up on its own as a good piece of music and a good cultural endeavor that people are like, wow, I gotta buy this song, it's so good.
But I suppose the reality of all of this is, When you look at all the work being done, every endeavor is always about, can we sell this product?
And when you look at the corporate mainstream celebrities, there's no qualms about doing whatever they can to sell the product.
Re-releasing the same thing with a slightly different name to get the diehard fans to buy it.
So I really just view it as, let's prove to them we sell better than they do.
You guys think we're better culturally across the board?
There are a lot of people who buy the music for celebrities because they just want to buy it.
They buy the vinyl, they buy the CD, and they say, I'll buy a CD player, even though they released it.
It's weird.
And they'll buy it to support the artist.
And I don't see a big difference.
I say, We sold 300,000 copies of this song.
We're number one.
Hot 100.
And then they're gonna be like, could you imagine Billboard writes a song about how our cities have decayed and have been mismanaged right before an election hits number one?
I really don't expect to ever get there, to be completely honest.
I know our podcast does really well.
But we're going to keep making this cultural stuff.
It's not always going to be over the top and overtly political.
This song I don't think is overtly political, but it's just on the nose.
We don't say Democrats have failed us.
No, we're just saying like coming home is not supposed to be this way.
You know, shadow figures on the corner.
It's not supposed to be like this.
That's all we're saying.
We're not blaming anybody.
We're just saying why did it come to this?
Let's grab some more super chats.
We didn't do nearly as big a push for the other songs, too, because Eyes of Advice was an art song that was silly and fun, and we played it, and we said, pick it up if you'd like.
I didn't push it too hard.
But the songs that matter, I really do hope we can sell a lot of.
The Highlander says, Tim, is that a proto-Pitboy on your wrist?
This is better than a Pitboy.
First of all, it's really funny.
If you don't know what a Pitboy is, it's a Fallout reference where they have these computers on their wrists.
It's got a map on it, and they're massive, and it shows your health and your vitals.
Yo, and it's got a flashlight.
This thing's got a flashlight.
It's got my health and my vitals.
I don't think it has a map on it, but I think you probably could easily get one on it.
But it is funny because it's very small, it's the watch.

I hope y'all are deeply prepared for what this turns into, my friends.
I also want to stress this, too, to everybody who is watching.
The video game that we had been originally working on was titled Normie Quest.
The code has been made available to our members in our Discord server, so if you become a member at TimCast.com, join us, join the Discord, you see the code, and I'll tell you the story of the game.
We got a lot done, and then the project fell off, and it's been a couple years.
And so I was like, we just, we shouldn't just sit on the code.
Let's give it to the community and let them make it.
And so I'll tell you what our current plan is.
The game is as such.
It's called Normy Quest.
You play a guy named Norm.
And he's on top of a skyscraper where he's a construction worker.
And he looks at his phone and it goes, bram!
And he looks down and it says, Little Jimmy's Baseball Game or something.
2 p.m.
You gotta leave early.
And he's like, I can't miss my son's Little League game.
But then as he's looking, the phone vibrates again and goes, bram!
And then it says, Unarmed Black Man Killed by Police.
And then he goes, no my god!
Runs to the edge of the building and just sees 15 million antifa everywhere.
Heavens.
He's got to make it home in time for his son's Little League game while leftist protesters are upset over an unjust police killing.
So he runs to escape, goes to the elevator, and then it opens up and a bunch of antifa jump out.
And then one of them starts malfunctioning and then his head falls off and it revealed they're actually just robots.
They're not real activists.
So anyway, because we don't want to make a game where you go around fighting activists.
They're just robots.
So the game is actually a guy fighting a bunch of robots as he tries to make it home to see his son's Little League game.
There's a bunch of jokes in it.
The game was actually really fun, and it's rudimentary.
So you're climbing down a skyscraper, and as you get lower, there's more development, and, like, the lower floors are actually in use.
And, uh, it's a top-down roguelike.
You collect items, become more powerful, there's two players, so you can play with your friends.
And, uh, you know, that's basically it.
We put that code up, available to everybody and our members, so you can watch it, play it, whatever.
And then develop it, and turn it into whatever the community thinks it should be turned into.
Now, what we want to do is, if we get to a finished product with it, I want to sell it, put it on Steam or something.
And part of the reason why we don't want it to be overtly political, like, you're not actually fighting activists or anything like that, they're weird colored robots, they're like androids, you know what I mean?
Because we're just trying to make a fun game that's silly, and he is a normal guy trying to get home to see his kids.
That was the joke.
But we want to sell it, and we don't want to make it shocking and offensive.
We want to make it silly and fun, and a game that people would love to play, no matter who they were.
But the idea would be all of the profits generated on top, so we would recuperate our costs for the development we got to, and then all the profit generated from the top would go into community events, member events, and things like that, because the members are the ones who are putting it together.
Really excited and hope that happens.
So, really excited to have the community involved.
But let's jump to this last story here and we'll get it going.
From the post-millennial, Boise State women's volleyball team forfeits match over trans competitor Blair Fleming.
San Jose State University women's volleyball team has been undefeated this season with a team record sitting at 10-0 after the forfeiture.
The team includes trans-identified male player Blair Fleming.
I'd like to give a shout out and a round of applause to the Boise State Women's Volleyball Team for standing up for their principles and refusing to participate.
If every women's team just said, with all due respect and not a single bit of hate in our hearts, we are not interested in competing with you.
Congratulations and goodbye.
That should be the statement made by every single women's competitor and team.
And you know, there are a lot of women who are like, I don't want to do it because I could lose money or scholarships.
You're already losing it.
There's this crazy story right now where a woman got second place in a competition and it's going viral, a skateboard competition, because she lost to a male.
And it's like, are you going to speak up?
You're first place.
Well, they're not doing it.
But we'll get into all that, but before we do, my friends, we've got cultural endeavors ourselves.
The new song, Coming Home, featuring Phil Labonte of All That Remains, has dropped and is available for purchase on iTunes.
This song is about the degradation and decay of our cities, the failure of our leaders to maintain our homes, and those who are coming home and who have made that sacrifice are finding that the men and women who are supposed to be here, protecting what we care about most, have failed us.
And it's sad.
It's kind of brutal.
Check out the video, and if you want to support our work and you believe in the message and you like the song, it's 5 minutes and 18 minutes long.
It's kind of crazy, right?
You can pick it up on iTunes for a dollar, and if everybody who watched this video did, we'd be number one.
So let's get 100,000 sales and send a message that music with a meaning matters.
It's not an overtly political song.
We don't scream it in your face.
But instead of these songs that are like, drink whiskey and big butts, maybe we can support music that at least tries.
At least I hope so.
I hope you guys support us too.
So again, iTunes, coming home by Timcast.
The Postmonial says, Boise State University women's volleyball team forfeited its Saturday match against San Jose University over the opposing team's inclusion of a biological male player.
That player, who goes by Blair Fleming, has led the team to a 10-0 win streak.
In a statement ahead of the game, Boise State told OutKick, Now I'd like to pause and just say this.
I respect it.
But this should be a forfeit on the part of San Jose.
September 28th per Mountain West Conference policy.
The conference will record the matches a forfeit and a loss for Boise State.
The Broncos will next compete on October 3rd against the Air Force.
Now, I'd like to pause and just say this.
I respect it.
But this should be a forfeit on the part of San Jose.
I think that Boise State should have issued a statement saying that the San Jose team is currently not in compliance with regulations and rules for the volleyball team on Until they are, we consider any irregularities as a forfeiture, and we expect the record to reflect as much.
That's what I do.
But that being said, I respect this move.
San Jose State University's women's volleyball team has been undefeated.
The NCAA said in a statement, College sports are the premier stage for women's sports in America, and the NCAA members will continue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented investments in women's sports, and ensure fair competition for all student-athletes in all NCAA championships.
Ahead of the game, the Independent Council on Women's Sports icons penned a letter urging the Mountain West Conference and schools under the conference to take action to protect female athletes in the conference.
Over the past few weeks, we have spoken with distraught student-athletes and their parents, coaches, and administrators throughout the Mountain West Conference regarding a crisis in MWC women's volleyball.
They say, Currently, the MWC and NCAA member Athletic Conference, of which all but one of your schools is a public university, San Jose State University, a California State University, are violating federal law by implementing and enforcing the NCAA transgender eligibility policies and permitting a transgender-identifying male, Blair Fleming, to compete on the SJSU women's volleyball team, in which I am right!
Boise should say, you are not in compliance, and until you are, you are in forfeiture.
Dude, let me ask you something.
If I said that I wanted to play, I don't know, hockey.
We're going to play a game of hockey.
And it's sanctioned.
And then I showed up with boxing gloves with barbed wire on them and said, I'm allowed to use these.
You'd be like, get off.
Ref, get them off.
You can't have those.
OK, fine.
The stinger is not allowed in hockey.
OK, but fine.
But what if you came in and you were How about, what is it called, high-sticking?
I haven't played hockey since I was a little kid.
But you were just holding your stick up high and waving in people's faces, and they're like, that's against the rules.
You can't do that.
I'd be like, yeah, I'm allowed to do it.
You're a bigot.
At what point do you say like, dude, get him off.
Get him off the rink.
Get him off the field.
You're breaking the rules.
If a team showed up wearing specialized gear that gave them an advantage, you'd be like, get off the field.
You can't do this.
It's against the rules.
So why is Boise forfeiting?
It should be that San Jose has forfeited by not being in compliance with the rules.
You know what they should do is?
Here's what I do.
No, but I want to stress this.
I want to stress this.
Bold move.
Respected move.
Shout out to the Boise team.
You guys rock.
I respect this tremendously.
I'm just saying, first, there have been too many athletes that have just said, fine, we'll play and we'll lose.
And there was one where those female athletes were getting injured, and the coach was like, I gotta call the match, my girls are getting injured too much by getting just beaten by this guy.
What was it?
It might have been wrestling or something, I don't know.
He's beating them up too bad.
So I respect it when the teams say, we're going to resign.
They should not compete.
But with that being said, I want to go a little further and say, the San Jose, the Boise team should show up to San Jose, prepare to play the match, and then once they bring out a guy, their coach should blow the whistle and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, timeout, timeout, rule violation, that player can't be on the field.
And then they'll be like, what do you mean?
There's a guy on the field.
And just be straight up about it.
Look, where it is a women's volleyball, men don't play like, this is an improper team.
Improper, you know, you can't do it.
And then if they tried to say it, they should say, look, if you're going to insist on having a man on your team, that's a forfeiture.
Okay?
We're not going to allow that.
I think that's the move to make.
And say, you record their forfeiture by putting a man in the field.
Like, what are you doing?
You know what you do?
Here's what I do.
I'll tell you what I do.
I show up, arm, to launch the ball and make three, uh, you know, three-pointers every time.
They're, like, dribbling, arm, to launch the ball and make three, uh, you know, three-pointers every time.
They're, like, dribbling, they run up, they load the ball in the machine, it goes, doom, and launches a perfect three-pointer.
We win!
Like, hey, robots aren't allowed.
Yeah, well, in women's sports, men aren't allowed, but they let them do it anyway.
So if the rules don't matter, then we're gonna do whatever we want.
And, you know, part of me thinks it's kind of based, because, uh, you know, one way you can do it, in my opinion, is just Anybody can do whatever they want on any team.
Everybody is, uh... You know, someone said that we should have an Olympics where people just do all the drugs and uppers and steroids whenever they want and become gigantic Hulk monsters just to see the true limits of the human body and how far they can throw a shot put or something.
But I don't know, whatever, whatever.
I'm rant right now, right?
We got a couple different stories right now.
This one from just the other day.
As a female athlete, I do not consent to playing alongside men in collegiate sports.
So, shout out.
Another lawsuit is being launched.
And tremendous respect to these women for standing up and refusing to be subject to this.
Let's see what we got going on right now.
Yeah, we're all sold out of skateboards, huh?
We're all sold out of skateboards, but I'll pull this up anyway, because we'll give a shout out to Taylor Silverman.
This has been ongoing for some time.
We have this story.
I absolutely love it.
Look at this headline.

It's a lie though.
You see how they lie?
Taylor Silverman called out that she competed in several contests and got second place behind a man.
A male.
So they say, Vice, but she lost to a woman.
No, she lost to a dude who wants to be a woman.
There's a difference, right?
In the story, they say, trans woman.
Ah, big difference.
And therein lies the point.
Recently at the Jackalope contest, there was a major controversy.
This was a week ago.
They say the athletes brought their A-game last weekend, overcoming the challenges of the Pabst Canada portal, and it was awesome to watch.
Well, the first place winner of the Women's Street Contest, who won money... I'm like, what was the prize?
They don't show it, but third place was $500, second place was $750, and it was a biological male who won first place.
Bro, we're not getting into this whole thing again.
I can tell you exactly why it's unfair, how...
Males have an advantage in sports over females, and that's why we've created female divisions.
But I will stress this again for all of you.
We do not make men and women sports because sometimes people wear dresses.
The idea that what makes you a woman is the clothing you wear or your identity is immaterial to the reason why we have separate divisions.
The female sporting division was for females because they are different.
And so to make it fair, they're different.
I'll tell you this.
There ain't even a female skateboarder who comes anywhere near close to the males.
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but it's real.
You've got an 11-year-old boy who's winning gold medals in world championships, and I think we just saw, we may have just seen maybe the first female 900, I think so.
Anyway, I'm not going to get into the tricks and stuff, but you understand.
Even at young ages, young males are dominating these sports, and it's kind of wild to see.
The upper limit of skateboarding has not yet been met, but the distinction is clear.
You can see that I messaged the Jackalope.
I said, do you read the comments?
And they responded that we do.
We read each and every one of them, and all respectful comments are shared with the team.
I responded, very cool.
That's all I wanted to make.
All I wanted to know.
Because the comments are loaded with people complaining.
Saying that it's unfair.
This is unfair to these women.
But you know what?
I disagree.
See these two women smiling?
And very happy to have made money?
They're loving it!
Okay, good for them.
Look.
Taylor Silverman said, I'm not going to compete.
And left.
That's your choice.
The Boise State team said, we're not going to compete.
That's right, move.
If they're gonna play games like this, don't be involved in it.
You know?
There's a couple ways to look at this.
A lot of people are like, it's not fair that female athletes are excluded from these events because males want to compete.
But I have another view that's more libertarian.
You have no right to someone else's event.
That's just it.
If Jackalope Fest wants to allow males to compete against females, you have no right to demand that they give you the treatment you're looking for.
And so these women are into it.
These women are cheering if the guy wins.
Now, what you can do is you can find contests that do have only a women's division, instead of a co-ed division, and then support them.
But Jackalope can do whatever Jackalope wants.
That's the reality.
There are certain restrictions on discrimination that I understand, but I'm not one to go to someone and say, you have to do what I want for my reasons.
I'm the kind of person to say, you know what?
If there was a restaurant that had a big ole, if you're voting for Trump, don't come in, I'd say, okay, I won't.
I'm not gonna.
I'll give my money to somebody else.
That's me.
Some people might get mad and say, oh, that's unfair.
You can't do that.
Blah, blah, blah.
If someone had a big sign up saying, if you're part Asian and white, don't come in, I'd be like, I certainly don't want to eat there.
And if there was a skate contest that said men can compete in women's sport, if I was female, I'd be like, well, I won't be involved in that.
Now people are upset because they wish they had the opportunity.
They want to be in more contests and make more money.
You gotta build it.
If you build it, they will come.
You have to make the machine.
Sometimes you can push back and try and reclaim it.
We can put pressure on these companies and say it's the wrong move, and I respect that.
Me, personally, I say a little bit of both.
I think it's the right move for these female athletes to boycott these events.
So I'll give a shout out to Taylor Silverman.
Her skateboard is sold out, but over at BooniesHQ.com, I believe by Thursday, we should be restocked on all of our different boards, including the Boobies, which is the blue-footed boobie.
It's a bird.
And the Taylor Silverman Pro Model Skateboard.
Yep, Pro Model.
Haha.
All these woke skateboarders are complaining, being like, dude, she shouldn't be pro.
unidentified
It's not fair.

It's like, well, she's got a board with her name on it, and you can buy it if you want to support women standing up for women's sports.
But those will be back up Thursday.

He was very gracious.
And he said, look, don't hold it against them.
They don't want to do this.

Big Peppo says, I'm currently honing my fishing skills.
Absolutely.
And, uh, you ever watch those videos where the guy, like, catches a fish with his bare hands?
They just, like, stand in the water, and when the fish comes out, they grab it.
Yeah, that's based.
Alright.
Cory Anderson says, cover Your Love by The Outfield.
I don't know, I have a couple ideas.
You know what we should do?
We should cover Inside Out by Eve Six.
Everyone would really love that, right?
Right, Max?
I love Eve 6, man.
Max is kind of a lefty, and he's always talking smack, but I grew up listening to that stuff.
And, dude, me and my friends, we had all the pop punk stuff.
So, we had... I can't remember the names of the albums.
unidentified
I don't know.

It's been 30 years.
Dang near 30 years.
unidentified
I don't know.

20-something years.
But, what did you have?
You had Inside Out, you had Promise, you had Here's to the Night.
What was the other one you had more recently?
I can't remember.
There were a bunch more.
It's been a minute.
But those are the big hits.
Here's to the night.
It's a legend, man.
That song should have been way bigger than it was, but it was big.
It was big.
It was like the graduation song for everybody.
All right.
Karate Chris says, in extreme emergencies, eight drops of Clorox unscented per gallon of water will purify water enough to drink, depending on the water contamination.

Three days without water is fatal.
But you guys talk with your doctor.

Get everything right.
Make sure you're not just drinking chlorine, okay?
Zachary House says, Can't get iTunes on my Android phone.
Anyone have a workaround?
Apple Music is a subscription based so you don't purchase individual songs.
This is the challenge they're making.
Guys, I know I've been just beating that drum kind of all day, but let me explain.
It used to be back in the day.
What were the Billboard charts?
These were the songs that were selling the best.
Literally, it was, I made an album, we went around to stores, and we sold them.
Yo, legit.
You'd go to a record store, you'd say, sell 10 of these.
They'd say, we sold 10.
You'd go, hey Billboard, we sold 10.
And they'd go, sounds good to us.
And then everyone would report their sales, and they would say, here are the top charting songs.
As time went on and radio became dominant, they started saying, how much playtime is it getting?
Then they started weighing in, well if it's on the radio a lot, it's getting playtime and that counts too.
But playtime on radio is basically industry connections on what they think sells.
And a lot of really garbage songs got a lot of radio airplay.
Now we're in the digital streaming era.
In the digital streaming era, sales no longer matter.
For real.
I think sales are the only thing that matter.
Like the idea that Taylor Swift is going to release a song and then get all of these streams to make money and sell tours and stuff, sure.
But the point of making a product was to sell it to someone being like, I made this.
Would you like to purchase it from me?
Like a birdhouse.
I wrote a song.
We produced it.
It was expensive.
It was difficult.
We spent a lot of time.
It took six months or so to get everything right.
And then we hope that someone buys the song coming home on iTunes for a dollar.
So we did this thing with Daily Wire.
Daily Wire was talking about how they got screwed over by the industry in one way.
Basically, they wanted to buy the rights to the song Happy Together, and they were denied.
And they offered exorbitant amounts of cash, saying, just let us play the song.
And they said, no!
And it must have been political.
I was talking to Jeremy Boring about how we release a song, we sell tons of it, it's number one on iTunes, it's number one on Amazon, we sell tens of thousands of these things, billboard charting, and these magazines, these media outlets, email us back saying, F you, and refuse to write about it.
They don't want to acknowledge that we're doing well.
They did the same thing to Matt Walsh.
While I'm talking to Jeremy, I said, let's do a team-up.
We made the song together again, a cover of their song, sold 35,000 copies, and we followed all the rules.
We have proof we sold the songs.
That's how it used to be.
This happened to Tom McDonald too.
Tom put out an album and he sold a crap ton of them.
Probably should have been the number one album release.
And then they come back to him and say, we refuse to count your sales.
unidentified
F you.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
And he's like, are you kidding dude?
Yeah.
Because they want to make sure only their chosen few get to be listed as successful musicians in the industry.
I had a conversation recently, I shouldn't say too much about.
Let's just keep it very vague.
Where someone told me that there's internet industry accolades and such, and they have outright said explicitly, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool, you will never be allowed to rank with us.
They would intentionally remove us.
I think that happened with Michael Knowles.
I can't remember.
It was the New York Times bestsellers list.
It's editorial.
They intentionally keep people off.
It's a rigged game.
And so, we can say, like with the Lynn Athletes, we're going to walk away and do our own thing.
We can say we're going to push back.
That's why I said it's a good mix of both.
So here's what we're doing right now is our strategy.
You can buy the song on iTunes.
That's the only way they cannot deny it.
So when we sold 35,000 singles in a week, which is a big deal these days, they went, you know, those don't count.
And we're like, is this a joke?
It was the biggest release we ever did.
The most streams, the most likes, massive.
And no.
They'll count.
So we ended up with emerging artists and digital sales, but we didn't hit the rock charts, we didn't hit the modern artists charts, like none of these other charts.
And so this time we are like, okay, we will just only ask people to buy on iTunes, because then they're going to have to explain to Apple why iTunes no longer counts towards the charts.
And they might.
And you know what?
I would accept that.
If we sell 40,000, 50,000 of these singles, we should be a Hot 100 song.
That means if everybody who watches all of these shows and we're promoting it bought the song for 99 cents, we should be on those charts.
And then I want to hear it.
Because at first, they said, OK, we accept these numbers.
And what happened?
We hit the charts.
Then they come back and said, no, no, we don't count that anymore.
You can't do that again.
You shouldn't be selling these songs.
And so we do the next song.
We say, OK, we chart.
They come back and say, no you can't do that either!
You have to stop doing that!
Every single time we say we will follow your rules, you will acknowledge us, they change the rules at the last minute to remove whatever it was that was making us successful.
Well now they got one last thing left.
It's the iTunes player which is hard to get and they cannot deny it.
But I would love it.
I would love it if next week They release the charts, and they say, no coming home, no Timcast, because now iTunes doesn't count.
And let Apple have a say in that.
And Apple might say, okay, you gotta get on Apple Music now, which they're trying to build.
But fine, let it be the end of any notion that you could sell music in this country and in the industry.
And then, we'll make our own sales charts.
We will make our own charting, where we say, the most important thing is, can someone of influence with music convince people to buy it?
And we'll make the metrics.
But I would love it if they said, no longer do sales matter.
That would be the game.
But I'll tell you why I'm pissed off.
Because we said, we'll play by your rules, and we're going to ask our fans to support our work, like every band does.
And they kept changing the rules every day, every week, without telling us, nope, we removed that, we removed that, we removed that.
While trying to convince us to go the bad route, go the wrong direction.
They had us walk off in the wrong direction, probably laughing their asses off, as we sold 35,000 copies in a week, and then they came back and said, doesn't count, knowing we just pushed everything we could.
I felt lied to.
I felt tricked.
So I'm pissed.
So that's all we can do.
iTunes is the one platform they say can't be denied.
Even Amazon.
They're now telling us maybe Amazon we won't count.
I'm not kidding.
And I'm like, Amazon?
We were number one on iTunes and Amazon with I think four out of six songs we released.
And I think they all might have hit number one.
And they were like, yeah, I don't know, maybe we don't count Amazon.
So I'm like, fine, let this be the end, okay?
I'm gonna push as hard as I can, and if we sell this song, and people care about the message, the meaning, and they like the music, and you still deny it, then it's undeniable.
The game is rigged, and we know it.
But you know what?
So be it.
If that's the case, I get it.
But let's see you make that move.
Anyway...
I'm pushing hard on this one because I'm pissed.
I'm really pissed about what they did with Together Again.
Because I go to the Daily Wire and I said, guys, this is going to be the biggest song we do.
With your help, with our help, with a modern pop song, it'll be huge.
We got like 10 million streams.
We got 35,000 sales.
And they were like, no.
And I'm just like, are you kidding, dude?
That pissed me off.
Because then, you know, I'm kind of embarrassed.
I go to Jeremy and I'm like, hey!
Everything you did worked!
But then they're just telling us it doesn't count.
And I'm like, they...
This was supposed to be a big FU where we did everything right, and we got screwed on that one.
So, it is what it is, man.
I don't know.
But whatever.
Thank you guys so much.
I really do appreciate all your support for whatever it may be.
Whether you like the music, you don't like the music, or whatever.
I really do appreciate all your support and everything.
And I think regardless of that, we're changing the world every single day.
I'm feeling very optimistic about Donald Trump right now.
He's not a perfect guy.
I don't think he's going to be perfect in every way, but man, an RFK Jr.-Tulsi Gabbard administration with Donald Trump is like a dream come true.
People I really believe in and really respect working together can mean something, and I think we should be optimistic because we're winning.
So, as much as I get frustrated, I know that you guys have done tremendous things to help make all this possible for us, and I really do appreciate you buy the coffee, you guys support the music, you watch the show every day.
It is magical.
I really do respect it and appreciate it.
And I'll tell you this, man...
I do two shows every single day and, you know, if I don't do the work, I feel guilty.
I hate taking days off if I get sick or, you know, I have to go to the dentist or whatever.
So I just want to make sure that I'm doing everything right by all of you because you do right by me.
So thank you guys so much.
I want to read one more super chat because, here we go.
Vassal Park says, what are your thoughts about the rule committee giving power to Wizards of the Coast?
Let's get esoteric, baby.
Smash that like button.
Yo, this is a huge scandal.
I'm gonna tell you this, and most of you won't care, but this matters to me and the people who play Magic the Gathering.
I've been playing Magic the Gathering since antiquities.
I think that was like the set that got released right after Arabian Nights.
To be fair, I was like 8 years old, I had a bunch of cards, I had no idea what I was doing.
Playing the game, but it was kinda nonsense.
And then I didn't actually start deck building and really playing the game with my friends until 4th edition.
So I get Antiquities cards and, and damn, I mean we had like Revised and stuff.
I don't even know where any of those cards are to be honest.
It's way too long ago.
I lost my entire collection on a train when I was like 12.
But anyway, for those that don't know...
The most popular format of Magic the Gathering trading card game is called Commander.
There was an abrupt banning by an independent rules committee of two cards that were between $100 and $200 decimating the secondary market.
So that means small businesses that had inventory for people wanting to play the game saw their inventory wiped out overnight abruptly without warning.
This resulted in mass resignations, a major scandal, and why it matters for you is that there's allegations of fraud and collusion.
I will explain.
There are two cards in particular that got banned of four that matter.
The names are silly, but they don't really matter.
It's card one and card two, but it's Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt.
Okay.
Now, there is a card that is not as good, but is similar, called Soul Ring.
I know it's already getting esoteric and complicated.
Here's the thing.
Wizards of the Coast is owned by Hasbro, so this is a toy company that sells pre-constructed decks that people can play games with.
Within these decks is a card called Soul Ring.
It is a cheap card, it costs $1, but it's very good.
When the Rules Committee announced they were banning two extremely rare, high-value cards, Soul Ring should have been banned as well under the exact same criteria.
Here's where collusion comes into play.
The rules committee stated that they'd been talking with Hasbro for over a year about this.
The parent company had been selling the product, telling people high-value collectible items were available for purchase, despite allegedly knowing that the ban would come down and their value would go to zero.
It sounds like if that were the case, they were defrauding their user base, telling them, buy this $15 or $40 pack, and in it, you may get a $200 rare collectible item.
But they knew, when this ban came down, nobody would want to buy it, and its market would crash.
Here's where it gets more interesting.
When they announced that they would not ban this other card, Soul Ring, it was pointed out by many people.
Wizards of the Coast, the toy company, includes this in all of their pre-constructed retail decks.
That means all of those products on the shelf at every toy store is worth zero.
Because you can't play the game out the box.
The card is banned.
They announced they wouldn't ban that card, to which immediately people said, collusion.
The company colluded with the rules committee to make sure that they wouldn't ban a card that could negatively impact their retail line, while selling product to customers that they thought were gonna be worth hundreds of dollars, but they knew would be worth nothing.
They're selling packs that cost 40 bucks to collectors saying, hey look man, if you get one of these cards, it's gonna be huge.
But they knew it would be worth nothing.
I don't know for sure what's true, but it's a major scandal and I feel like a lot of people are just, you know, rightly pissed off.
Imagine if, you know, a simple way to put it is there's a pack of baseball cards and they say, we're going to have new prints of the Babe Ruth rookie card.
unidentified
I don't know.
tim pool ▲ ● ▼
I don't know baseball players.
And they're not going to be worth originals, but we expect their value to be around $200 to $400.
You better buy these packs.
They're 40 bucks a piece.
Everybody runs out and starts buying them.
And then, all of a sudden, another section of the company, independently run, but sanctions their purchases, says, Did you get those cards?
Okay, we're doing 10 cent reprints.
So all of a sudden, all that money you spent, gone.
And they mass print garbage.
That's basically what's happening.
It seems like, or I should say, the belief is, they scammed a lot of people.
So anyway, That's why I wanted to read that.
I'm going to wrap it up there, my friends.
Smash the like button on the way out.
Thank you all so much for your support.
We'll be back tonight for the debate.
It's going to be fun.
