Episode Overview

This episode centers on the alarming incident of an armed individual charging the U.S. Capitol, which sparks a broader debate about rising political violence, the erosion of civil discourse, governance failures in America's major cities, and acute partisan polarization. Congressman Riley Moore joins Tim Pool and panelists to provide congressional-level insights, including first-hand accounts of increasing security threats. The group also analyzes the redistricting crisis, discusses the decline of American cities under left-wing leadership, and debates the future of U.S. governance—blending sober concerns with the Timcast team’s signature sardonic humor and culture-war banter.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Capitol Attack and Rising Political Violence (00:00–14:09)

• Incident Recap: An 18-year-old man in a tactical vest, armed with a loaded shotgun and additional rounds, stormed toward the Capitol, was confronted by police and arrested without incident. Motive unknown. ([09:32])
  • Tim Pool: “If this guy was serious, why would he dress in the most obvious way imaginable with a large weapon and run for it?... stupid people are stupid and they do stupid things because they’re stupid.” ([10:26])
• Larger Pattern? Tim frames it as possibly an isolated incident but worries it’s part of a growing trend of politically motivated violence (“a grain of sand that eventually makes the heap”).
• American ‘Have-Nothings’:
  • Tate Brown: “...a higher and higher proportion of the population that literally has nothing to lose. So he’s a crazy person, yes, but a crazy person with nothing to lose is a serious problem.” ([11:12])
• No Off-Ramp: The hosts discuss that dialog between Left and Right has broken down; only escalation remains.

2. First-Hand Congressional Insights on Security (12:17–16:46)

• Rep. Riley Moore: Confirms that security threats at the Capitol are increasing, not a "one-off." Republican members are especially targeted.
  • “There are increased security questions, threats, and problems at the US Capitol over the last year.” ([12:17])
  • “This is happening increasingly to members of Congress, but specifically Republican members... members of Congress can now contract armed security.” ([14:48])
• Difficulties with DC Gun Laws: Members can technically get concealed carry permits, but it’s prohibitively pricey and bureaucratic.

3. Political Division, Hypocrisy & Cultural Decay (16:46–29:17)

• Increased Threats from Ideological Groups: Antifa cited as a personal threat even to family.
  • Moore: “I had an antifa person show up to my house … started going ballistic on my wife and kids… There are increasing threats to all Republican members of Congress.” ([14:29])
• Castle Doctrine Discussion:
  • West Virginia’s robust self-defense laws highlighted as a contrast to restrictive states.
• Policy for Elites/Self-dealing: Satirical ribbing of Congress members’ penchant for writing laws advantageous to themselves.
• Insider Trading & Congressional Pay: Conversations hover between real reform bills (e.g., Stock Trading Act) and cynicism about motives. Humorous takes on Pelosi’s trading acumen and Jim Cramer. ([19:08]–[21:01])

4. Celebration of Violence and Lack of Accountability (22:57–30:51)

• Antifa Apparel & Meme Culture: Spotlight on a viral story and T-shirt celebrating violence against an ICE-supporting student—a microcosm of the mainstreaming of political violence in youth culture.
  • Tim Pool: “If you violently assault peaceful individuals with different opinions, you’re a legend... Republicans keep telling the left, they’ll get in trouble. No one’s holding them accountable.” ([21:43])
  • Phil Labonte: “...a lot of the reason why right wingers don’t fight back is because they have something to lose. The left... they don’t have anything to lose.” ([32:33])
• Books Documenting Violent Threats: Jokes about making a coffee-table book documenting leftist threats/celebrations of violence.
• Mutual Distrust, Irony, & Left-Wing Cannibalism: Discussion of leftist internet personalities being eaten by their own side for not being radical enough.
  • Tim Pool: “The left has become the right…” referencing shifting conspiracy rhetoric and political stances. ([37:52])

5. Redistricting Crisis and the Death of the Swing District (45:59–53:53)

• Supreme Court-Approved Redistricting: Virginia’s redistricting wipes out Republican seats; more states likely to follow.
  • Tim Pool: “The conversation is over. With the redistricting effort... there’ll no longer be swing districts—it’s going to be Democrat districts and Republican districts and winning as the opposition party, not going to happen.” ([47:56])
• Federal Impacts: Loss of competitive districts leads to further polarization; Democrats set to gain brute-force Congressional advantage in 2026.
• Voting Rights Act & Congressional Power Shifts: Rep. Moore explains if the Supreme Court guts the VRA, Southern Democrats may become extinct in federal representation—amplifying polarization.

6. Dysfunction & Looting in New York, Urban Decay (74:16–82:08)

• Zoran Mamdani & Fiscal Collapse: New York City’s officials raid rainy day funds and spike property taxes, supposedly targeting the rich but ending up “looting the retirements and the rainy day fund… because that’s what communists do.” ([02:36], [74:46])
• Property Tax Hikes: Real impact hits middle-class homeowners, not billionaires. “All this is ensuring is that you’re eliminating homeownership in New York City...” ([78:48] – Tate Brown)
• Failings of Leftist Policy: Tim and Riley argue Democratic control spirals toward functional communism, dependency, and societal decay. Slumlord scenarios and business exodus cited as likely results.

7. AOC On the World Stage & Democratic Leadership Fears (61:34–73:10)

• AOC’s Munich Security Conference Gaffe: Her dodge on Taiwan policy seen as evidence of unpreparedness and surface-level knowledge.
  • Tim Pool: “I don't think AOC knows where Taiwan is. I don't think she knows what the conflict is... She has a general surface level of ‘there is a policy to protect Taiwan’ but she doesn't know enough about it to opine.” ([63:42])
• Dangerous Political Talent: Despite this, both Phil and Riley warn that AOC is the “most dangerous Democrat,” charismatic and poised to inherit Bernie’s machine, with immense fundraising prowess.
  • Moore: “If she runs in that Democratic primary, I think she wins… She’s a fundraising machine.” ([69:00])
  • Labonte: “Everyone that gets elected gets elected on charisma. It is 100% a possibility she gets elected.” ([68:10])

8. Decline of American Governance, Systemic Problems (85:11–95:59)

• Constitutional Decay: Advocacy for repealing the 17th Amendment, returning Senate control to state legislatures (“We need a hard reset, unfortunately.” – Tim Pool, [87:53]).
• Classical Liberalism’s Failure: Tim laments public complacency, polarization, and loss of accountability as causes for institutional decline.

9. Supreme Court Critiques & Judicial Problems (90:52–97:03)

• Thomas & Alito Praised: “We need a Supreme Court that's gonna be like don't know, don't care. This is what is. But we don't have that. We have two guys.” ([91:59])
• Ketanji Brown Jackson Criticized: Panel ridicules her record, suggesting she votes strictly along ideological lines.
  • Phil Labonte: “Her opinion is specifically whatever the left believes right now, you can guarantee what her opinion is going to be...” ([95:59])

10. AI, Entertainment and the Future (Humor Segment) (107:02–121:35)

• Excitement over AI: Panel goofs off with AI-generated games/video, speculates about the complete disruption of Hollywood and gaming by AI-generated content, and jokes about political figures as playable game characters.
• Underlying Message: Cultural distractions (AI, virtual realities, entertainment) may further sap civic engagement: “No one’s gonna vote because they’re gonna be too busy gooning in their fake realities.” ([120:49])

While banter remains sharp and the tone sometimes sardonic, the discussion underscores deep anxieties about political violence, hyperpolarization, failing institutions, and the trajectory of the American experiment.

A man in a tactical vest armed with a loaded shotgun and additional rounds got out of a vehicle and stormed towards the Capitol before he was apprehended, charged and arrest. Don't know his motive just yet and things like this do happen, so maybe it's nothing. But I gotta be honest considering just the other day there was A transgender unhinged individual who went up and shot up his family at this hockey rink. There are T shirts being sold celebrating political violence, the ice attacks, threats, violence, escalation, all of that at the ground level. And then at the political level, you have the redistricting where Virginia recently got approval from their Supreme Court to wipe out four Republican seats. So the conversation's basically coming to an end. I look at a story like this in D.C. and I say, ah, that freaks me out. Because the issue is it's always a grain of sand that eventually makes the heap right. That's the saying that I often use. At what point is this not just some one off crazy person, but the beginnings of. Beginnings of a pattern or some kind of trend? And maybe, just maybe, we all beg, we hope and we pray that this was just some lone nut crazy guy who believes crazy things, who tried attacking the Capitol by himself for some dumb reason. The scarier thing is that of course he's by himself. But what if he's motivated by mainstream ideology of any faction? I don't know. Presumably we're gonna see this on the left because of the violence coming from the left. But if it is this, this fervor generated by the online resentment or just general political disarray, that's where things are getting scary. And so I look at this story, there's a bunch of others where you can see that there's no conversation happening between the left and the right, only escalation. And the question then we've asked on the show is, where is the off ramp? So let's analyze this story and see if there's actually anything going on there. And then we've got some fun stories for you. Fun as in nightmarish and terrifying. Like, Zoran Mamdani announced that he's raiding the retirement funds, their rainy day funds for the city, cranking up property taxes, and I kid you not. Holy crap. Literally crap all over the streets of New York City. These videos are insane. And the question is, what happened as soon as he got in? What did he drop that just caused this chaos in New York? But surprise, surprise. All of these people thought Zoran Mamdani was going to come for the rich. Instead, he's going after literally everybody, looting their retirements and their rainy day fund, because that's what communists do. And then, of course, AOC at the Munich Security Conference, sounding like an idiot. Of course the question is, why was she there? The presumption is she wants to run for president. Now, fortunately for us, she sounded so stupid. I think a lot of people are like, this lady should not be president. But when has policy or facts ever gotten in the way of someone who has charisma, Right? I mean, we can talk about Donald Trump. He can. He can. What do they call it? He can. Well, he can maneuver his way through any conversation. Unfortunately for people like Gary Johnson who actually just tries to be honest and says, what is Aleppo?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Thanks for having me back on. Riley Moore, Congressman, second Congressional District of the great state of West Virginia. I'm happy to be back. You can follow me at Rep. Riley Moore on all social media platforms. Thanks for having me back.

[Tim Pool]

Right on.

[Tate Brown]

What is going on, Patriots? This is Tate Brown here holding it down. It's great to have you in. I came in, I walk into the studio and you're out shredding the gnar outside.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, a little bit there.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I was out there skating wild, man.

[Tate Brown]

This putting the insurance policy to the test. I love seeing you. I knew that skateboard is in good hands. So, Phil, what's up?

[Phil Labonte]

Hey, what's up, everybody? My name is Phil Bonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter revolutionary.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Carter.

[Phil Labonte]

Is distracting.

[Tim Pool]

What's up, Lower Thirds? Man, they're killing me. But yeah, definitely become a member of the Discord. I heard there's going to be a cutout of Ian at that party, as Tim was saying. So I mean, hopefully maybe we still have to figure it out, right? Figure out dates. It's probably going to be in the next couple of weeks actually. Might be towards it might be like the last week of March. I'm not entirely sure.

[Phil Labonte]

Word.

[Tate Brown]

Dude, you're playing Guitar Hero over there with that.

[Tim Pool]

It is. It's pretty crazy. Also very fun. Right on. Well, let's, let's get to the story. We got this from cnn. Man in tactical vest with loaded shotgun arrested after charging us. Capitol Police say an 18 year old in a tactical vest. We get it. Police identified the man as Carter Camacho of Smyrna, Georgia, and said he acted alone. They are working to determine the motive. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said Camacho, armed with a loaded shotgun carrying additional rounds, drove a white Mercedes SUV near the Capitol. Before exiting and running toward the building, he was intercepted by Capitol Police who drew their firearms and told him to drop his gun to get on the ground. Camacho complied and laid down before being arrested and taken into custody. Who knows what could have happened if we didn't have officers? The individual had a tactical vest on, the chief said, as well as tactical tactical gloves. Police have charged Camacho with carrying a rifle without a license, having an unregistered fireman and ammunition, as well as unlawful activities. He was not previously known to Capitol Police. Now, I will say we hear stories about this from time to time of some whackaloon doing something crazy at the Capitol. And I would argue that one of two things. If this guy was serious, why would he dress in the most obvious way imaginable with a large weapon and run for it? If he got out of the vehicle and just walked, most people probably would not have noticed that much. Someone might have stopped. Excuse me, what are you doing? But the clothes that he's wearing might just look military to the average person. And if he's calmly walking, they might not think that much about it. I would also then counter my own argument with stupid people are stupid and they do stupid things because they're stupid.

[Phil Labonte]

So, yeah, doing that is very, very stupid.

[Tate Brown]

I mean, this goes, I made this point on the, on the noon live, and I've said it previously, is the very scary thing that's happening, happening in the United States is we're getting a higher and higher proportion of the population that literally has nothing to lose. And this is another example of that. This is just a guy that for a myriad of reasons literally has nothing to lose. So he's a crazy person. Yes, but a crazy person with nothing to lose is a serious problem with. We saw it last night in Rhode Island. Now we're seeing it today literally in our nation's capital. It's a really terrifying time that we're in because. Okay, yes. This guy, whatever, he. He was bum rushing with tactical gear on. What happens when those people actually get serious? What happens when these people have nothing to lose? Get serious. That's a very scary timeline that we would enter.

[Tim Pool]

I want to just add completely unrelated. YouTube's down. Oh, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

So watch on Rumble.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, you can watch on YouTube if you have the direct URL. So I'll probably. I'll just. I'll just tweet it out. But a lot of people are like, I can't find it because you go to telling about it. He said it was on their end. Yep. This is YouTube's front page. Is. Is totally down. So anyway, Riley, is the world ending?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

It feels like it sometimes. But about this. Who showed up to the Capitol with a tactical shotgun? What I can say. This is the most I can say there are increased security questions, threats and problems at the US Capitol over last year.

[Tim Pool]

This is.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

This is not a one off.

[Phil Labonte]

Really?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And so are these. These are like. I don't know if classified is the right word, but they don't want people going around. We interrupt this program to bring you an important Wayfair message.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

There are some security issues at the Capitol. And all I can say. This is not a one off.

[Tate Brown]

Are we talking like individuals? Are we talking like potentially groups?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Hard to say right now if they are part of a group, but certainly individuals.

[Tim Pool]

Interesting.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, can you say anything else beyond that? I mean, avoiding specifics of what happened. Can we talk about, you know, are. These are. Let me. Let me Just say this. Let's step outside of whatever that statement was. And let me ask you, do you see any increased threats from any kind of factional political, ideological groups or anything like that?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I'll speak for myself. Antifa. Antifa. Specifically, I had a. Obviously you like to presume this stuff isn't public. They get rid of all of it on the Internet. But you can find anything on the Internet. I had an antifa person show up to my house.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, really?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, a few months ago and just started going ballistic on my wife and my kids. And I wasn't there. And they were out in the yard.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, God.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

And cops showed up and all that. And look, I'm one person. But there's. This is happening increasingly to members of Congress, but specifically Republican members of Congress. Of course, there's security issues for people like Elon Omar and AOC and given their stature and all that and things that they talk about. But there are increasing threats to all Republican members of Congress. If you go look at the last appropriations bill, what's called the Ledge Branch Bill, you will see in there that there is a pot of money that was put in to increase security for members of Congress. I'm actually the vice chair of that subcommittee, so I can't talk about the other stuff too much. But that money's there for a reason. It is there for a reason. Where members of Congress can now contract armed security.

[Tate Brown]

Wow.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah. I mean, it's an.

[Tim Pool]

You're allowed to carry guns up there, right?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You're allowed to carry a gun. But the problem is you have to go get a DC Concealed carry, which they have to allow you to get. But of course, they raise the price on it, where it's almost like a thousand bucks.

[Tim Pool]

Wow.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Get the concealed carry for anybody, Any member of Congress out of state. You can carry.

[Phil Labonte]

I wouldn't have a problem. I wouldn't have a problem with Congress appropriating money. So you guys can get.

[Tim Pool]

But I just want to say, if there's one thing Congress is really good at, it's passing laws to benefit themselves.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

You get this.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I mean, I want just universal carry in the Capitol. I think we should be able to capital carry and all that stuff. You can get the concealed weapons permit to carry within the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C. as a member of Congress. But you got to go through this very lengthy process of getting the concealed permit, which basically nobody gets in Washington.

[Tim Pool]

Why would a member of Congress have to do that? Like, are we really. Are we really concerned that a member of Congress is Going to just go rogue and start killing people.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah. No, no. And that's why I myself, and I'm on the bill. I'm on a bill for capital carry. You know, what I members to carry in the cap.

[Tim Pool]

I got. I got to stop right there. I actually just thought about it and think Congress probably has a disproportionate amount of crooks. Maybe they should.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Like some Congress members are just like, get out. Get out of session. And then they'll go out somewhere in D.C. and start like, jacking people their wallet.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, little extra income, a little bit, you know. You know, and it's funny because there was a. There was a move, not. I can't remember how long ago it was. Congress trying to raise their salaries.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

AOC got a lot of heat for it. And I was actually kind of middle of the road on it. I said, guys, you got to understand, they, like, you guys have to maintain two residences.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Probably not you, because I'm like the exception, except for some of the Democrats around the Beltway, but most everybody else, residences.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. If you're. If you're within a few hours drive, you might just opt for driving a longer commute when you have to.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah. Or sleep in your office or get a hotel or, you know, in the times that you can't go back.

[Tim Pool]

But if you're. If you're somebody who's say, like, you know, Wyoming.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Oh, yeah. You don't have a choice.

[Tim Pool]

Right. And so what is. What is a congressional salary? Like 174.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

174. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And so you need to have a D.C. apartment and your home residence off that salary. They expect you to be working full time.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah. And it is actually funny history on this thing. It is actually the law that there was a COLA passed. I think it was 2006, and then Pelosi started putting a waiver in on the cola, which is now compounded over what's a cola? Cost of living adjustment. And so that's what all federal workers get. So this COLA was passed. I wasn't there then. Obviously it passed, and everyone's issued a waiver on it over the last 20 years. So now it's compounded. The funny thing is there's actually some members of Congress who have sued over this, and there's a lawsuit around the pay raise where it's like, look, this is law. The COLA is here. The speaker or Congress can't just waive a law. You have to institute the law. So now you're in a place where if this lawsuit is successful. Everyone's getting paid and back paid and all this other stuff where they could have just done it.

[Tim Pool]

I, I know it's rough. I've heard stories of members of Congress sleeping in your, in their offices, like on the floor and stuff. You're not supposed to, but have you considered just insider trading?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, I mean, that's another option. Not for me. I don't own any stocks. But yeah, I, in a Paulina Luna, she's got a bill on this which we are going to take up in the House. We are going to take up in the House. We're going to take up the Stock Trading Act. That's coming up for sure. We have gone through that piece of legislation we're going to vote on. It's going to be questioned what the Senate does on that bill. I know a lot of people listening are probably really upset that Pelosi's retiring because now you're going to be able to like pick your stocks based on what she's picking.

[Tim Pool]

To be fair, Inverse Kramer beat Pelosi.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

No, Inverse Kramer people.

[Phil Labonte]

Scream.

[Tim Pool]

For those that don't know Jim Cramer, the famous stock TV guy, if you only were to have bought the opposite of what he said to buy, you would have, you would have better returns than Nancy Pelosi, who is accused of insider trading to enrich herself.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Who's beating Warren Buffett, by the way.

[Tim Pool]

Pelosi's beating Warren Buffett. Yes, Inverse Kramer is beating Warren Buffett. I gotta tell you, I think the secret is that Jim Cramer actually is a savant. He is a genius. And I'm just gonna imagine that every time he says not to buy something, he winks.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, don't buy.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

This one reminds me of Seinfeld. You know, Costanza. It's like I'm just gonn doing the opposite of all of my instincts here.

[Tate Brown]

It was like, oh, eight. And he's like mortgage backed securities. The greatest thing since sliced bread.

[Phil Labonte]

Unbelievable.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

So yeah, there's, there's actually an app out there. It's like the Pelosi stock trader app or whatever. And you can just like whatever her put options are, you can mirror those.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, I haven't been, I haven't been plugging it, but I'm printing off of it also.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, let's jump to this and keep the conversation going on what we saw at the Capitol. We've got this from New York Fashion Design Network. That's right. It's the anti fascist, okay, Flag shirt. It's modeled off of the Gas and Flag. Essentially. It's a guy saying, okay. And as you can see, it is what one. It is an individual. One would describe as a chungus cocking his fist back. And it's based off of punching a young man at a school in Illinois in the face for saying, I support ice. And you know what I love about this story, right? We've got to hear from. From daily.com pro ice troll gets punched at school. The kid who did it is now a meme legend indeed. To the left. If you violently assault peaceful individuals with different opinions, you're a legend. And the guy said, you're gonna get in trouble for that. He says, okay, and then punches him. But you know what I really love about this story? These two young men in Lake Zurich, Illinois. Hey, that's my. Outside of Chicago, these two young men exemplify the culture. We're so perfectly the zealous, psychotic, and morbidly obese leftist punching the frail low T right winger. Sorry, right. I'm not cutting any slack. With all due respect to this young man who was the victim of this, conservatives at the. At the macro level have consistently just been like, whoa, slow down, Democrats. And the Democrats have been like, I'm gonna go shoot up a Tesla station. And so we've gotten all this terror. We've gotten these mass shooters, we've gotten ICE shootings. And even after leftists went to ICE facilities and CBP facilities and shot cops and shot at people killing innocent bystanders, they're still like, for what reason would ICE be scared when we show up screaming in their faces with guns? And so you get a story like this, and this is the micro. Some. Some morbidly obese lefty punches a guy who's peacefully protesting, and the guy gets punched, says, you can't do that. You'll get in trouble. Congratulations. Republicans keep telling the left, they'll get in trouble. No one's holding them accountable.

[Phil Labonte]

It's a reflection of the way that conservatives and Republicans in D.C. you know, Babe, they don't want to exercise power when they have it, right? Like, so I don't know what the guy that got punched looked like. I haven't seen this video. But if you're in a position where someone is going to hit you, like, you don't have to wait to be hit to defend yourself. Republicans on Capitol Hill, they should be getting rid of the filibuster in. In the Senate, they should be doing everything. They should be doing all the gerrymandering they can, and they don't do any of it because they're terrified of exercising power. And the argument you constantly hear is, well, what about when the Democrats. The Democrats. And this is an argument we make all the time on the show. The Democrats have already done it.

[Tim Pool]

Guys, real quick, just don't forget you're going to say put a pit in. I have to say this. People often don't understand the definition of irony, and it's difficult to explain it to them if they don't know. It's not super difficult. There's an, there's an example I'd like to give, and it's a fire truck on fire. Right. The statement is, of course, the fire truck is intended to put the fire out, but itself is now on fire. That is one form, a principal form of irony. I bring this up because many of you are aware that as we're doing the show, YouTube is down, it's broken. So we're checking down detector to determine Whether or not YouTube is experiencing problems. But in fact, down detector is now down as well. And so I believe it may have just recovered. But there were some reporting that down detector is down, which is another perfect example of irony. Anyway, you were going to say something.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah. Look, the Democrats, when they say it, they mean it. Like, they do not play games. They play for keeps. And clearly we're not. And I know we're going to get into the redistricting thing here in a little bit. Go look at Indiana. Look at Indiana. These guys had the ability to redistrict. That's a state that Trump won overwhelmingly, all three times. And they're like, no, we're not going to do it. Meanwhile, over in Virginia, they're like, yeah, we're going 10, 1. We're not playing games. Yep, we are not playing games.

[Tate Brown]

So ask you, because like back earlier, you're talking about with Antifa, and obviously they're, they're ramping up their threats and they're like acting them out, which is the most terrifying part. But like, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, obviously getting Antifa labeled as an FTO was like, massive. That was, that was a huge deal. And honestly, a lot of people miss that. That is a big deal. Have you seen anything like on, on the congressional side, any sort of seeing that in action? I guess, so to speak. I mean, it's because it's such a massive deal, but I feel like we don't hear about it very often.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

No, I've not really seen it in action too much. And just to be clear, any Antifa members, if you are listening, if you set foot on my property, I am going to shoot you.

[Phil Labonte]

But that should be a standing order for anyone.

[Tim Pool]

West Virginia standing. I want to stress West Virginia is not the same as many of these states. Texas probably is the strongest of laws. Texas allows you to shoot someone for touching, for threatening your property.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

Like literally, someone could grab your stereo and in Texas you can shoot them. That's law. West Virginia is very, very, very good on these laws in terms of protecting your land. West Virginia, and correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding, because we went through this with security, you're allowed to defend yourself if someone trespasses on open land. Meaning.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

If you've got like five acre property, you're taking the garbage out and someone is coming on your property threatening you, you don't have to wait, you don't have to flee, you have to run. And it makes sense in places like New Jersey and New Jersey we shouldn't even mention. It's so insane. But Maryland is a good example because you even have western Maryland just north of the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. You have to flee into your home. Yeah. Then once you're in your home, if they try to breach the, you know, the entrance to your home, you're allowed to use lethal force. West Virginia is like.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Nah, no, we, we have Castle doctrine here.

[Tate Brown]

Castle.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, but, but Maryland claims to as well.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

No, they do not. And so, and just to be clear, if you're on my property, threatening manner.

[Tim Pool]

You'Re getting shot, but not just like a random guy, like he's selling cookies for it.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Antifa bake sale.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah. You can, you can knock on my door if you're the Girl Scouts. Don't worry about it. But yeah, I, I haven't really seen too much of it in action. But yeah, look, I mean, it is. All of this stuff is ramping up. The Democrats don't play games. They don't. And I mean, look, look at. We had a Supreme Court rule.

[Tim Pool]

Well, the holidays have come and gone once again. But if you've forgotten to get that special someone in your life a gift. Well, Mint Mobile is extending their holiday offer of half off unlimited wireless. So here's the idea. You get it now, you call it an early present for next year.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

What do you have to lose?

[Tim Pool]

Give it a [e-mail] switch. Limited time, 50% off regular price for new customers. Upfront payment required. $45 for three months, $90 for six month or $180 for, for 12 month plan taxes and fees. Extra speeds may slow after 50 gigabytes per month when network is busy See terms at Charmin. We heard you shouldn't talk about going to the bathroom in public, so we decided to sing about it.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Last term with President Biden on student loans, and they're just like, yeah, we're going to ignore that. Yeah, yeah, we're not listening that. We're not doing that, bro.

[Tim Pool]

It's. It's. It's just hilarious. Check. Check this out. Evan loves Warf sg.

[Phil Labonte]

It is insane.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, he's. He's a lefty, and he's celebrating the violence with 17.1 million views. So here's my. Here's my pitch, and we need some. Maybe this one's for the Discord community. Guys, this one's for you. The Discord community. I want to make a coffee table book that is just every. Every page will be four threats or celebrations of violence from leftists. And then, yes, I am not even kidding, because, like, I see this. And these lefties are like, yay, violence against conservatives who are being peaceful. And then when you go to these liberals and say the left is more violent, they go, no, we're not. And it's like, here's the coffee table book. Shut up. There's no arguing anymore. Now when you're at Thanksgiving, you buy for Christmas for your liberal aunt, uncle, and you say, look, it's a book of all the times the left threatened to murder people and then did. Or punch people and celebrated it. It's.

[Tate Brown]

It's 3,000 pages long, breaks the table.

[Tim Pool]

So the. The. We talked about it internally here, like, what do we do to aggregate all these threats? And we were like, it could be tough. We could theoretically go to like, a. Like an AI and say, start pulling tweets. We could find historic ones. But if we want to get all the good stuff from blue sky, like, the funny thing is, even Will Stancil, who's another liberal guy, has this viral post where he's like, I need to get off blue sky because you people have gone insane when the. When the. When the leftists who are insane call the other leftists even more insane. We got A problem. But genuinely, if you're a member of the Discord community, maybe we will put together a project where we start compiling as many of these posts, celebrating, encouraging or engaging in violence. And then we make that coffee table book. And then, you know, people can buy it for a decent price, put it on the coffee table, and then they can show their liberal friends who don't.

[Phil Labonte]

Believe them it's a great idea.

[Tate Brown]

Clean out every forest in America.

[Tim Pool]

Just.

[Tate Brown]

For the proof of concept. We would have to, like, one book. The Amazon would be gone.

[Phil Labonte]

The point you bring up about Will, Will Stancil is actually. I mean, it's. It's crazy because this is an argument that. That Peterson was making 12, 13 years ago. You know, I forget who it was that that kind of, you know, stabbed him in the back, but he had a public Twitter exchange with him, and he was like, look, they're gonna do it to you. They always do it to you. They always eat their own. And Will Stancil has been a, you know, a very, very far left kind of dude for a long time. And now, because I'm not even sure that he did anything actual, like, significantly bad, they just in Minneapolis decided that he wasn't pure enough, and they started going after him. And then once blood is in the water, then it's over.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah, then it's over. I mean, you remember in the last administration, the greatest threats to America were like, practicing Catholics and white nationalists that are roaming the streets, declared war on chuds.

[Tate Brown]

I was like, hey, hey.

[Phil Labonte]

But I mean, to your point, though, that that was something the administration itself said. The greatest threat to America is white, young white males, straight white males, which is totally ridiculous.

[Tate Brown]

Blood red backdrop, and he's like, MAGA extremists are the number one threat to America. That was a declaration of war, by the way.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

The MAGA extremists, the most dangerous people out there are actually the white liberal women, white wine resistor moms that are out there. Just.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, it's because the white wine makes you more bubbly. Right?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

You're like, you know, what I was saying before the show is that the right has testosterone, but not too much, but the left has a ton of estrogen. And, you know, it's funny because people often say, like, oh, testosterone makes you want to fight. Yeah. But estrogen makes you crazy.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And so the left is like on there, like, punching and screaming, and the right has, like a moderate amount of testosterone. They're like, well, I don't want to get into a fight with you the right, the right needs just like to crank up the t by like 2x.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Just, just get to the point where your heart gives out at 60, but then the guy's gonna be like, shut up.

[Phil Labonte]

Just a little bit of trend balloon.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You know, get everybody on TRT and.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, yeah, I mean TRT is not quite what I'm thinking. I'm thinking something with a little more octane, but tremble on Trembloni sandwich. Yeah. Get some, get some D balls flying around there.

[Tate Brown]

If you could hear me, please.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, like come on fda, like, you.

[Tate Brown]

Know, start putting trembalone in the water.

[Phil Labonte]

It's way better than, than fluoride. It's way better than fluoride. But I mean, you know, the, the way that the left behaves, like at the very least you can now clearly see that the left is a problem in the US and it's completely undeniable now. You know, the, the violent attacks, they're, you don't see a lot of right wingers do it making, you know, doing violent attacks to other people. Like they, they're, they're just not engaging it. And to the point we were making earlier today, like a lot of the reason why right wingers don't fight back is because they have something to lose. We talked about this. The left. No, they don't have anything to lose.

[Tim Pool]

Let me pull this up. We have this post from Graham Linehan who is highlighting a post from this far lefty named Will Stancil who has realized the left is insane. So let me just give you the quick gist. A leftist has realized that Blue sky is full of crazier leftists. Him. And he doesn't want to play this game anymore. Graham says so funny, a bunch of people who knew they'd soon be answering tough questions on child experimentation, trans violence, etc, all left X for another site, which they promptly turned into such a woke nightmare that even Will Stancil can't take it. He said on Blue Sky. Man, every day I wonder if I shouldn't just delete my account on here. Maybe opening Blue sky makes me want to actually walk in front of a truck. I don't think people on here understand how crazy they've gotten. It's this endless feedback loop of self radicalization built around some of the most toxic personalities I've ever encountered. It would be nice to talk about politics without being in a blizzard of seething hatred and abuse all the time. That's what I've been saying. And he says they're largely blocked, but it doesn't matter, because we share a social space and many of them have tens of thousands of followers and their absolute derangement is making the social space intolerable. I love that this leftist who does exactly what he's describing to the rest of us is now experiencing exactly what he does to him. Yeah, it's just beautiful. It's an ironic kind of day, isn't it? Yeah, just lots of irony milling about.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I mean, I wish we could. And someday it'll all kind of be out there. But the, the amount of threats that Republican congressmen get. Death threats. Death threats on a daily basis is staggering. The number, I mean, it is unbelievable. And of course, you got to look at all of these because you don't know if somebody's saying something on the Internet and then it becomes a reality. Right. And many times that's. They'll post something and then something happens. Right. And we've had not just me, many people, many, many members, Republicans, people showing up at their house, this, that, threatening their families, showing up to schools, all of this stuff. I mean, there is no line. There is no line for the Democrats. They are going to find you wherever you are and they're going to threaten you and perhaps even inflict violence on you because you do not agree with them.

[Tate Brown]

Well, they were greenlit at every step of the way. Like, I mean, saw like 2016 at the campuses when the Ben Shapiro Milo would turn up and they would literally be flooded, firebombed, et cetera, total impunity. I mean, even saw during COVID like, everyone always forgets this. Tucker Carlson's house got like sieged by like a ton of leftist protests.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. And they cracked the door.

[Phil Labonte]

Scotus. Got it.

[Tate Brown]

No one ever talks about it.

[Phil Labonte]

There's a bunch of people. There were a bunch of people that were going outside of the people in.

[Tim Pool]

Scotia trying to bust the door down.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. And it's good that you mentioned the, you know, the Ben Shapiro and the Miley Nopoulos stuff. Like, there was so many arguments online because that was when punch and Nazi kind of came back into to, you know, the common phrase and the arguments that were being made. It was like, look, and this is an argument I made to people that were, you know, in the music industry. I'm like, look, you, you can't, you can't say that. Like, you can't punch a Nazi. Like, that's only going to lead to more violence. It's going to lead to more actual Nazis. It's going to lead to more violence. It's Going to escalate everything. And now, like, you know, this year there was Charlie Kirk. There was two attempt. Not this last year, there was Charlie Kirk, there was two attempts on Donald Trump's life prior to that. Like, this is the fruition of the. The predictions made in 2016. 20.

[Tim Pool]

And someone shot at this property.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Two months ago.

[Phil Labonte]

They're going to Riley's house. They're making threats on Congress. Like, this doesn't get better by saying, no, we should punch a Nazi. And a CHUD guy, you know, making shirts about it. They're still glorifying it.

[Tate Brown]

Not a chud.

[Tim Pool]

Okay.

[Tate Brown]

As a proud chud. Disavow.

[Phil Labonte]

Whatever. Whatever you want to call it. The point being, like would be the Chungus academic term.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

He wasn't a wholesome Chungus intellectual term.

[Tate Brown]

We like to use.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

But the point remains, like, you know, with the. Of Luigi Mangioni, like, this is just going to make more violence. And, and this is, this is why Tim and I say it's like, where's the off ramp? How do you. How do you diffuse this stuff? And I don't see a way to do it.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Well, look, one of their guys back in the day said by any means necessary.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, they say it was an organization.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tate Brown]

Also the punch. And that's what's crazy because then they would post pictures of like, like the guys storming Normandy and they were like, this is what an anti fascist look like. And then if you regurgitate the average political beliefs of a World War II infantryman and they call you a Nazi.

[Tim Pool]

Well, that was the Freedom Tunes, one of Seamus's biggest cartoons, where the woke bring World War II soldiers to the future to help them fight the Nazis.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And then the World War II soldiers are like, wait a minute, you're doing what? When they realize what the left is actually trying to do of New York.

[Tate Brown]

City's name is what?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Well, you heard the call to prayer in New York, right?

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

People are getting freaked out. I want to. I want to throw this in the mix real quick and give a shout out to the left for becoming QAnon. Ellen Barkin, she's a prominent lefty. She's. She's from like, she's like a TV show producer or something like that. She said the number of people in this administration connected to Jeffrey Epson is stupefying. It is correct to say we are a country run by a cabal of real life pedophiles and sex traffickers whose crimes are more horrendous. Than we can imagine. How much more can we take, lady? Like, 10 years ago, all these Trump supporters were screaming exactly what you were saying. And I'd be willing to bet you can go through her timeline and find a bunch of tweets where she's claiming this exact thing is not true. Yeah, so my point here is not to bring up the Epstein stuff in this context. It's to point out that the left has become the right. They're claiming the election was stolen. Have you, have you guys seen these, These viral conspiracy subreddits and forums that exist? I brought them up quite a bit. I'll try and pull one up again. But they're basically saying that Elon admitted to stealing the election. He rigged the servers.

[Phil Labonte]

You Starlink satellite.

[Tim Pool]

That's right.

[Phil Labonte]

You Starlink satellite level.

[Tate Brown]

Like, they're using, like, Cato Institute lines to, like, attack tariffs. Like, now that Trump is like, pro tariff now they're like, free trade is like a vital political. What's going on? Who are you people?

[Phil Labonte]

I was, I was critical of tariffs. Like, I have a background. I was in, like, like being like, a libertarian kind of dude.

[Tim Pool]

Right?

[Phil Labonte]

Like, and I'm not a libertarian anymore. And one of the reasons is a lot of the things that you kind of assumed were true as a libertarian, they seem to not be right. Like, I mean, I understand if you're a bear long enough, bad things are going to happen. But, like, if you, if you look at the, the, the tariffs, like, they, it is not panned out the way all the libertarians and the Cato Institute and all said. And I'm, I, I'll be the first person to admit I was wrong. I was, I was like, I've said, you know, on the show, I was like, I don't think tariffs are probably a good idea. You know, I'm not an economist, but, like, obviously, because I was wrong about it, you know, but then again, there were so many people that are libertarians, they're like, swearing up and down, you know, the tariffs are going to do this, the tariffs are going to do that. Well, if you say the tariffs are going to do. If you say bad thing is going to happen long enough, the bad thing will happen. And then you can be like, oh, look, see, I was right. A bad thing happened.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, they're literally like recycling. Like Newt Gingrich talking points like terrorists is crazy.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You know, to be fair, how many people publicly facing or otherwise would just say what Phil just said, hey, I was wrong. Actually, this worked. Basically nobody, you know, which is to.

[Tim Pool]

To, I haven't looked.

[Phil Labonte]

I'm sure the chats talking about how stupid I am.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I mean. But no, I mean, to, to, to your credit, I mean, that's. Now me obviously being a West Virginian, we are very pro terror. Like this is something that we, we have watched globalization destroy us over the last several decades from NAFTA and so on and so forth. I mean, it has happened where steel mills just shutting down, our job shipped overseas. So for me, I was, you know, two feet in first. One of the first bills I introduced was reciprocal tariff bill. That's something that I feel really strongly about. But the end of the day, yes, balanced trade is a good thing. It is a good thing to have balanced trade and we have the ability to balance it and to reinvigorate manufacturing in the United States. It actually evens the playing field for our manufacturers because that cheap, cheap product from China now has to compete at the same price point as our manufacturers and the consumer, which they have said, oh, this is going to get passed down to the consumer. It's a tax on them. They're willing to eat it to be able to participate in the greatest consumer market on the face of the planet.

[Tate Brown]

There was a, like a leftist substack where they were arguing that tariffs uniquely punish POCs and that's why we should be opposed.

[Tim Pool]

Well, that's true, I guess, but there was a. This video that I did a comment on the Tim Pool show this morning, which is a guy claiming he's explaining why MAGA is a cult. And in it he basically says that they're not driven by facts or policy, they're driven by revenge. And it's clearly wrong because anybody who tracks the polling data knows that Trump only won through a coalition which included libertarians and moderates who 2 to 1, lean right, or at least did a year ago. And now things are kind of changing. You can see this in the, in the comedic podcast space. They're kind of getting salty. But I digress. The point that I bring up, the reason I bring this up is that there's reasons why I supported Donald Trump and I voted for him, and tariffs are one of the biggest issues. And all these libs come out as academic experts on the issue of tariffs. Now, having never cared about this in the past, but I can tell you exactly why it mattered to me. And skateboarding. So here's the way a skateboard's made. They get some lumber from either the Pacific Northwest or Canada. It's a North American rock maple, either Canadian or American Send it to China where a Chinese laborer will make these boards for pennies in the dollar and then send it back to the US that's actually a waste of energy. But because a Chinese peasant is willing to work for a cheaper rate than an American, we don't make skateboards here anymore. And over the last 15 years, the skateboard industry has collapsed because there's no more skate industry. We don't make skateboards. If you don't make skateboards, there's no skateboarding jobs. So how are you going to sponsor a professional skateboarder if there's no company making skateboards that needs to advertise? They make skateboards because they're all made in China. So right now in Southeast Asia, skateboarding is bigger than ever. They're. Oh, they're, they're opening, they're opening skate parks in theme parks. That's how popular it is. And there's too many people. It's miserable, actually. I wouldn't want to go. Me as I show up and there's kids sitting everywhere playing. That's how popular is the United States. It is gone. So when Trump says we are going to tariff China and China says we're a tariff back, I'm laughing. You know why? Because what happens then is we tear down a tree in the United States, send it to China, who says tariff on that lumber to their, to their factories. So now that lumber is going up by 100%. Then they make a skateboard, send it to the US and the US says tariff on that skateboard. It turns a Chinese made skateboard from $35, upwards of $100 a board. Yep. The American made boards that we sell at Boonies HQ are $35 boards. And then we sell them for 55 because a portion goes to the rider, a portion goes to cover general, general administrative costs. And then we have, you know, our profit margin, which is relatively low. But if you start tariffing China, we stop having to compete with peasants in third world countries and we can bring our culture industries back.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, look, this is the only workforce on the face of the planet that has to compete with every worker in the world in their own country. Yeah, I mean, like that's literally we were the only ones. And so of course there's a national security component to this that I've been really hot on is that if we don't have internalized supply chains and we're not able to make things here in the United States, that will be a problem down the road. You look at World War II, where we turned, you know, Singer Sewing Co. And that started making gun parts and IBM and everybody else into the war effort. Right. There is a point, there's a deterrent factor to having an industrial base. Not talking about defense industrial, an industrial base that can deter adversaries because our capacity to out build them.

[Phil Labonte]

That's why Andrew's got such a great idea. The defense company, right?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Oh yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

They want to build like modern weapons, but they want to use existing parts and technology. So that way if something goes like, if they need to make a thousand of them, they don't have to have all this special manufacturing for it. They can go in. It's the, it's the, you know, defense industry kind of idea of like run down to Radio Shack and I'm aging, dating myself there, but you know, to be able to buy the parts you need right there available on the market already.

[Tate Brown]

And the whole tariff conversation was just like people were arguing past each other. I was arguing with this libertarian guy and I was talking like, I was talking about, and I was talking about the tariffs and I was like, no, we need tariffs. We need to protect our industry against like getting undercut by like I use Bengali, Bengalis as Bangladesh as specific example. And he's like, okay, well if you introduce tariffs to keep the manufacturing sector in America stimulated, you need to bring in more migrants. And I was like, I don't think you understand. I'm making the argument that I don't want to compete against people from Bangladesh for money and labor and all these things. And it's just like he doesn't understand, like he's just like economy brained. And I'm like, we're a country, we're a nation, we need to say this.

[Tim Pool]

It's graph go up. Now I do want to defend libertarians a little bit and give him a shout out because as much as I can disagree on where the policy goes, I respect that. We always agree on the facts that I know that the libertarians can come on the show and we'll agree, like here's base reality. Now let's argue how it should go after this. And we disagree. So I'll make fun of them, but it's okay because we're friends. But let's do this. Let's jump to this next story from whro. Supreme Court of Virginia, green lights, redistricting referendum. To put it simply, they're eradicating four Republican seats, I believe. Four. Right, right. From the state of Virginia. All in all, this is going to. Oh, you know what, let me Just stop and say this. The conversation is over. With the redistricting effort that we are seeing across the country, there are no longer going to be swing districts. It's going to be Democrat districts and Republican districts and winning as the opposition party, not going to happen. Now the scary thing is this means the conversation has ended because there's no more political debate. The Democrat in the district can say to the Republicans, nana, you can't win no matter what you do. I don't have to pander to you anymore. This means in these districts where they might try and be moderate and say no, no, we're not going to be in favor of insert far left policy or insert far right policy. Now they're going to be like far left it is because I'm in a primary and I got to beat this other Democrat, not a Republican. So that means at the federal level, what are we going to see? You combine this with geographic hyperpolarization. That is people are leaving. Conservative leaning individuals have left California and New York, which means those districts. So California, New York are going to lose congressional seats. Good thing. However, it means the remaining districts with less moderate and conservative voices, the primaries are going to be socialist. So typically the primary is around the range in the party from the moderate Democrat to the far left. And you've got to kind of pattern in between because there's going to be New York moderate Democrats who are going to be like, I don't know about that child sex change stuff.

[Tate Brown]

Stuff.

[Tim Pool]

Well, those moderates have left because of the insanity of New York and now this is shifting the overton window of the Democratic Party. So now you're going to have OK, sex changes for minors after 12, but you know, not before. And then sex changes for minors at any age, that's going to be the new argument. So at the federal level you are going to have extremely far left. And I said there's not going to be any far right. It's going to be like moderate, slow down their Democrat types because conservatives are still even in deep red places not functioning all that well.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, like the deeper the red, like the worse the GOP actually is. Like South Carolina is like some of the worst politicians in the country and that's a ruby red state.

[Tim Pool]

I'll put it like this. The Republican Party is not a unified cult like the Democratic Party largely is. Now don't get me wrong, they eat each other alive all the time. But I would describe the right as a coalition of various right leaning to moderate ideologies. And the left is a murmuration Right. They don't really have a leader. They're floating around randomly, but they still follow the pack well.

[Tate Brown]

And also, like, a big problem is on the right are activist base mixed podcasts, where on the left, the activist base kills people. They either kill people or they get involved in like, they're like thirds, like state or even county Democrat Party. Like, for example, in California, if you look at Berkeley and you go like, New York Times always puts out, like the precinct by precinct voting map. There's precincts in Berkeley, California, probably other places. But I saw in Berkeley where the Green Party outperformed the Democrat Party. So it's like the activists base. And the Democrat Party is very involved in the way things go. And if they don't get their way, they'll literally just go and vote for the Green Party in like these deepest red places where in the Republican Party people just get like, demoralized and just step away from the table entirely.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

So the one thing that. And this will shift it even more, right left Voting Rights Act. So when the Voting Rights act gets, and I believe it'll be struck down, those blue seats that are there just by the nature of we have to carve out a minority district in Southern states due to the Voting Rights Act. Once that gets struck down, all those seats, I mean, look, you got Democrat, Democrats hold seats in Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina. I mean, all these types of places, because you have to carve out these districts, the south will just be solidly red. There will not be one Democrat seat left. Now, for us, that's good news. But then we have states like Indiana who they're letting us all down. I mean, it's just a total failure. They're not stepping up to this. And for some reason, I guess they think this is a game. But the Democrats, they are not playing. They're not playing on this in California. There are 53 seats in California. We will be lucky if we have four or five left after these elections.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So the projection is Democrats are going to win not by an election, but by just cutting out Republican districts. It's not exaggerating. The projection for the 2026 midterm election is that Democrats will be up by, I think it's like five seats by sheer brute force, not by the actual election results. So again, I'll stress after redistricting is over, you will see solid blue with some. With some strong blue, solid red with some strong red, meaning there's no swing districts and Democrats outnumber Republicans. There's not going to be a conversation yeah, I'm just.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I think the Voting Rights act would go the right way for us, but won't happen before the actual 2026 elections. They got a rule by July 1, but that's past primaries for a lot of states, so that won't matter this 101 map. Look, there's one last chance to stop it. If you live in Virginia, there's a referendum that's going to go out. Please vote against this referendum. The Supreme Court in the state of Virginia has green lit this, so the referendum is going to happen. Vote for your rights, vote for your country, vote for your freedom. Go out and get everybody, you know to vote to stop this referendum.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tate Brown]

Virginia is a great example for what their plans are for the country. Because that's a state that's like what, at best, what, 53, 47 probably?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Oh, yeah, it's close.

[Tate Brown]

And so it's like, you know, you see California, New York, it's like, like that's what they can do with a razor thin majority with the entire country if they are to get back in power.

[Tim Pool]

We just got to make D.C. square again.

[Tate Brown]

Totally.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yes, I am actually for that. You know, that was the original intent for the District of Columbia. That's the way it was designed until Virginia took that land back. Give them Arlington and portions of Alexandria back to the District of Columbia, and that's the way the city was designed.

[Tim Pool]

Aren't supposed to be living in D.C. this way.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

It's supposed to be a federal district for the administration of a union.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Correct.

[Tim Pool]

But it's become a. A city state. And now they want statehood or the liberals want to get stated. They want to give it senators. And that defies the function of a federal district.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tate Brown]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

I know.

[Tate Brown]

I'm just like, okay, lop it off back to Maryland. Then you get your representation. It's like. No, no, it has to be. They have their own unique culture in.

[Phil Labonte]

D.C. no, they don't.

[Tate Brown]

Talking about.

[Phil Labonte]

They don't at all.

[Tate Brown]

People.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Would you say unique culture, but votes 94 one way. 94% of something like that. 90 plus percent voted for Kamala Harris. Yeah, right. I mean, so that's. That is not a unique and diverse culture of thoughts and opinions.

[Tate Brown]

This unique cultural tradition. It's carjacking. It's a really.

[Tim Pool]

You're talking about South Africa.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, might as well be at this point.

[Tim Pool]

Geez.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah. No, it's totally ridiculous. But yeah, make D.C. square again and then we have more room to build more arc to trumps too. Like there's a. There's yeah, I've seen some. Every time I go to a roundabout now and I see a green space, I just see an arc every single.

[Tim Pool]

Time with Trump's face just right in the middle looking at you.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah. You know, because the proposals came out and one is like, really gaudy with a gold all over it. I'm like, I want that one. I want that one.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

That's his style.

[Tim Pool]

That's it.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, he's all about the gold for generations.

[Tate Brown]

Everyone will see it and they'll be like, oh, Trump built that. Oh, yeah, because all the other arches, they could pass it off in 100 years. Like, I know I built that. No, we need, like gold laser fog machine, everything.

[Tim Pool]

I've been saying this for the past couple of weeks. Trump is not Lincoln. Trump is Buchanan.

[Phil Labonte]

Cannon.

[Tim Pool]

And someone else tweeted this. Who was it? Was, was it, was it Barris or Rasmussen? I can't remember who tweeted it. They tweeted, what would Abraham Lincoln do about voter fraud? What would Buchanan have done about voter fraud? And that's, that's kind of the point. I think a lot of people are seeing right now we are in a state of crisis in this country. Undeniably, this redistricting effort is the end of the congressional conversation. It's supposed to be, I mean, it's not even supposed to be this two party system, but that was bad enough. Now we're getting uniparty. And when you have a federal Congress where the left is unified and the right is a permanent minority, you are going to have effective no representation. Yeah, well, this means people are going to eventually going to say, I'm not going to let you open the border to 30 million more people. And so if you can't speak, then what do people do? Bad things. Now the question is, while all this really bad stuff is happening, what do you think Abraham Lincoln would have done? We don't need to question because we watched what he did before he got into office. Abraham Lincoln got elected and the initial inauguration was in March, back in the day. And in this interim period, seven states seceded from the Union. The moment homeboy gets in, he's like, rally the troops. We're shutting this down. Buchanan tried appeasement negotiations, compromise, and slow rolls, and it didn't work. And it led to the crisis. So I don't see Donald Trump as a Lincoln figure. I see him as a Buchanan figure. He is trying to play politics. He is taking a soft touch. He is pulling out of Minnesota. And I don't necessarily disagree with that, but he is making the much lighter and weaker moves that are not actually dealing with the issues. And I think what we've seen already is that you can just do things. The Democrats certainly have for a long time, and they don't care what's true. So, again, I made reference to this video earlier in the day that I commented on where a guy says mag is a cult, and he said it's because federal agents killed two people and they make excuses for it. It's like, well, I can give you all the reasons in the world why people on the right and moderates have argued whether or not there was a justification for the shooting of Alex Freddie or of Renee Goode. Not that the entirety of the right is celebrating it, but the issue is that Democrats arrested Trump's lawyers. Yeah, okay, I want to make sure everyone understands this, because I know you do. But liberals don't know the facts. They don't understand what's going on in the world. Democrats had Trump's legal counsel arrested for simply being his legal counsel under the argument that providing legal counsel to Trump was, was a criminal conspiracy, despite the fact it is constitutionally protected. Any criminal can hire a lawyer to give him advice on what he can or can't do. And the left argued to me on the culture war show, or I leftisted a liberal that, well, she was advising on crimes. When you are running a business and you don't know if you're allowed to do certain things, like, let's take a call. She, for instance, is it insider trading?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Right?

[Tim Pool]

If I call my lawyer and say, is it insider trading? If I make a trade on something that I know the results to, because I know someone in Congress, let's say they go, well, if you're not involved in the trade and the information from this member of Congress is in any way public, not necessarily widespread, you're good. Then I go, okay, so make the trade. Right. Then the next administration says, you're under arrest. They arrest my lawyer for giving me advice on what they deemed later was criminal because the lawyer. That's the level of psychotic behavior we are getting from the left. So I stress this. Donald Trump is staring down the barrel of Democrats that don't care what's true and a voter base that doesn't know what's going on. You try to placate that, you lose. I'm not going to pretend to have good advice for Trump or for the right. For the most part. I can certainly give some advice. I don't know. And I'm going to Pretend to know what's going on behind the scenes. But, oh, boy, let's just, let's just get ready for 2028, or I should say for 2020. At the end of 2026 to 2028, Democrats are going to have, have Congress and they're going to fire off subpoenas at full auto and they're gonna start locking up Trump supporters through bogus lying to Congress and contempt of Congress charges like they already did before.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, they've done that before. Remember, Peter Navarro went to prison.

[Tim Pool]

That's right. Yep.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Peter Navarro went to prison, worked in the White House. I mean, they will lock our folks up. And, you know, look, I'm, I stay a little more optimistic, obviously, that in hopes that we can retain and keep the House. I think maybe in the second quarter of this year, moving into the third quarter, we'll have some economic numbers and people can actually feel it that things are moving in the right direction, hopefully could help us. But it does not look good right now. But particularly with the redistricting going on and all this, it doesn't look good.

[Tim Pool]

But you know, in all fairness, Riley, it's easy for you to be optimistic. West Virginia is mountainous and highly defensible. Right.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

This is true. This is very true. And we got great state laws here.

[Tim Pool]

But yeah, the reason why, despite being an east coast state, it's not very densely populated is because of the mountains. It's very difficult to, in the early days to get materials through the mountains, through the hills. And so only the toughest, I mean, I don't mean this to kind of blow smoke up West Virginia's ass, but it's true. Only the most hardened individuals who could survive these conditions and, and, and carry supplies actually ended up settling in this area. So even to this day, it's not very densely populated because of how difficult it was. At the same time, it's also the safest place in terms of natural disasters and war in, or I should say at least one of in the United States. There's a variety of questions about what kind of war you'd face, but in the event of like, ground invasion. Mountainous, difficult to navigate, highly defensible for the people who live there in the terms of flooding and natural disasters. I'll throw it to our storm weather friend, Ben Davidson, who shows the when, if the great flood happens, West Virginia is the only place United States, like, not swept up. So even when you get to the more, the more like out there theories of like, mass floods, West Virginia's okay. Yeah, I think.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

And Everybody's armed to the teeth here.

[Tate Brown]

I think the Chamber of Commerce in West Virginia picked it up as a slogan. Highly defensible for ground invasion.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Highly defensible for ground invasions. Everybody. And look, if you are an actual Republican and a real conservative and you live in Virginia, I would invite you to come to Best Virginia. Just leave. It's over.

[Tim Pool]

Sorry. Lost.

[Tate Brown]

I don't know if it's just, like, people tweeting, just a tweet, but I see these, like, proposals of all these bordering counties in Virginia and potentially Maryland, of, like, joining in West Virginia.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Well, yeah, but Virginia would have to agree to that. They're never going to agree to that. There is one specific county, actually, Frederick County, Virginia, where Winchester is. After the Civil War, these bordering counties got to hold referendums if they wanted to join West Virginia or not. And to this day, Frederick County, Virginia, has never held the referendum, and that law is still on the books. If they wanted to, they could still do it.

[Tim Pool]

That's Winchester, right?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

They definitely got Winchester.

[Tate Brown]

Like, a separate micro counties. So they could just join West Virginia and surround Winchester.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Well, I mean, look, we'll take the whole thing because we. We would love to get another congressional district back because it gets us another electoral vote, which helps everybody in the presidential election.

[Tate Brown]

State of West Virginia has sieged Winchester.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I mean. Yeah, we should go in and take it.

[Tate Brown]

Right.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You know, it was a good restaurant.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, I don't. I don't see that they put up all that much resistance, you know?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, probably not.

[Phil Labonte]

Probably, you know, greeted as liberators and.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

You know.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, the old town's nice. I think that's. It's not highly defensible. We could take it.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

We'll finally get a Costco. They have one in Winchester.

[Tim Pool]

We.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Watch your Costco.

[Tim Pool]

Let's jump to this story from the Hungarian conservative.

[Tate Brown]

Whoa.

[Tim Pool]

Watch progressive icon Alexandria Ocasio Cortez completely embarrass herself. Now, now, I must stress, I actually am much more excited to talk about Zoran Mamdani gutting the New York Rainy day fund and retirement funds, because communism doesn't work. But we'll get there. In the meantime, Communist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to be president, so she went to the Munich Security Conference, of which I'm baffled why she went. I got to be honest, AOC as a member of Congress and her. Is she even on any committee related to security and national defense or anything?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

No.

[Tim Pool]

What is she doing at this conference? I have no idea. Except I do. She wants to run for president. So she needs to start creating an image of herself discussing worldly affairs. Well, the good news for all of us is. Oh, boy, oh boy, listen to this. And should the US Actually commit US troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move? You know, I think that this is such a. You know, I think that this is a. This is of course, a very long standing policy of the United States. And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point. I love this so much.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

It's like, nailed it.

[Tim Pool]

It's, it's just. It's like. Mr. President, we are concerned about auto manufacturing in the United States. What can you say to the American people to assure them their jobs are safe? Well, jobs are important to Americans and a long standing policy of ours has always been jobs. And everybody knows cars are great, especially when they are car jobs. Now, I believe in America, and America is a great place for people who like cars. Cars are great. And you know what? What? That's what it really is to be an American. To think about things that you like. Because we love America. America is a great place. Thank you.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I was actually better, though, because you didn't have like the long pauses in there. Like, like you could see your mind working like, Ty, where the hell is that?

[Tate Brown]

You could.

[Tim Pool]

This is the issue is that I don't think she knows. I'm gonna be completely honest. Okay, I was making fun of her. But I'm gonna say this in all seriousness. I don't think AOC knows where Taiwan is. I don't think she knows what the conflict is. Yeah, I think she has a general surface level of there is a policy to protect Taiwan, but she doesn't know enough about it to opine even to like beyond a surface level. And you know what the problem is she there. Okay. There's a couple of reasons why I'm going to say she's not qualified to be president. There's actually plethora, a litany. But I will just say this. First and foremost, you need to have an actual answer on this issue pertaining to US intervention in foreign conflict in the Pacific Theater. All that's fine. However, I would still to a certain degree give a passing grade to a response that was. That was very deferential and non committal. Like if she had said. If we asked the question, she went, wow, that is a very difficult question.

[Phil Labonte]

If she just said, what is Aleppo?

[Tim Pool]

Well, no, no, no, no, no. My point is this. That's a fail. Gary Johnson failed. If her Response was, that is incredibly difficult question that I don't feel qualified right now to answer, given the debate is ongoing and I don't have access to national security information pertaining to what that would mean. So it would be ignorant of me to make a claim on the world stage at the Munich Security Conference that I would commit to something without having access to national security information. That's a great answer.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I got to point something out here real quick, though. Members in the House, it is a policy when we are in a partial shutdown or a full shutdown, are not allowed to travel internationally. That's the rule. I don't know how she paid to get over there. That will be disclosed later. If the US Taxpayer paid for her to be there, that's a potential. Or she paid for out of her campaign. But if it was paid for by taxpayer money, that is the policy of the House. She's not supposed to be there. We're in a partial shutdown. The Department of Homeland Security is currently unfunded.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, but she's aoc.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

She is aoc.

[Tate Brown]

She could accidentally shatter the filibuster record if they just ask her a question about geopolitics. Ten hours.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Just like, you could tell she was, like, trying to reach in the recesses of her mind to, like, this canned answer that they had given her, like.

[Tate Brown]

Standing palms with, like, spider webs on it, like, just turning.

[Tim Pool]

But she's not leadership material. Well, because here's the point about Gary Johnson I've made a million one times for those that aren't familiar, Gary Johnson, famously, this was the 2015 cycle, was asked, what would he do about Aleppo? And he goes, and what is Aleppo? The interviewer goes, you're kidding.

[Phil Labonte]

This is at the height of the Syrian war.

[Tim Pool]

Right. Donald Trump is a master statesman for all the right and wrong reasons. The way Trump answers a question about something like this. So I'll throw it to Riley. Ask me a question, but make up a random word. Say, ask me about something.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

What do you think about the Johnson rod in your car?

[Tim Pool]

Well, you know, I know a lot of people have been talking about Johnson rod, but it's not something that I'm focused on in the immediate because jobs matter so much more. And, you know, you get into these conversations about Johnson rotten, the American people say, what the hell you even talking about my job, my gas prices? See, that's what Trump does.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Oh, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

He just pretends like what you're saying doesn't matter.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

He calls it the weave.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

He's so good at it. He's so good at it.

[Tate Brown]

What is Aleppo? He'd be like, what would we do with Aleppo? What wouldn't we do with Aleppo?

[Tim Pool]

His literal response would be like, look, I know everybody's asking about Aleppo, and of course when we get in there, we'll take a look at what's going on. But the American people right now are concerned about jobs, and they don't want open borders. They want immigration. They just. Just, you're gone.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

That answer that she gave will not matter one single bit to the liberals in this country. That does not matter to them.

[Phil Labonte]

Not only to the liberals, but to the average American either, because nobody wins.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Or loses elections on foreign policy.

[Tate Brown]

That's why we have to go to the hutgarian conservative.com to get the.

[Tim Pool]

No, no, no, no, I'm not. That's not even a joke. When I Google searched this, there's nothing. Yeah, look, look, I'm sorry, real quick. The. The New York Times wrote about it, but it was a defense of AOC where she called the New York Times and said, here's what I want you to publish about my statement. There's no major outlet writing that AOC stuttered on the world stage and gave a non answer.

[Tate Brown]

That's why the Europeans are writing about it. Like, hey, guys, who did.

[Phil Labonte]

Hey, guys, this is a point that I really need to reaffirm. Like, I catch a lot of hell because I say that AOC is the most dangerous Democrat going right now. She is extremely politically talented, just like you said. This will not matter in a general election. The American people will not care. She's incredibly charismatic. She knows she's incredibly politically talented. And all the people that are gonna be like, look, she's too dumb to be president, blah, blah, blah. Even, like, I agree that she doesn't have nearly the political chops when it comes to foreign policy or knowing about the economy or knowing about things that are actually important. None of that stuff matters. Everyone that gets elected gets elected on charisma. It is 100% a possibility that she gets elected. And she is the most dangerous Democrat. And Riley, you were saying earlier. Yes, back me up.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

She is the most dangerous Democrat out there. And take this to the bank. If she runs in that Democrat primary, I think she wins. Yeah, I think she wins that primary. She's a fundraising machine. She's raising nearly $10 million a quarter right now as a House member, and she is personally very engaged.

[Tim Pool]

How much? 10 million a quarter. What?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

She's pulling in $40 million a year.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

What does she do with it.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Banking it.

[Tate Brown]

Wow.

[Tim Pool]

And she can. There are, there are ways for her to spend it on herself. Right.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Well. And she's building the machine, she's getting ready. And so she's going to make a decision. Is it Senate? Am I going to take out Chuck Schumer? Am I running for president?

[Tim Pool]

Schumer. Schumer's the way to. Yep. Schumer's the way to go. Yeah. President is such a long shot. And you. And you miss, you're. You're cooked.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

But Senate makes a lot of sense because Schumer sucks and she can go.

[Phil Labonte]

For two years, Barack Obama was a. Was the junior senator from Illinois. Yep. And then he was the president.

[Tim Pool]

When Obama got elected to the Senate, he was immediately asked, will you run for president? Yep. I remember I was like a teenager and I was watching this and I was like, oh. They were like, now that you've won, will you run for president? Oh, we'll see. And I was like, what? Yeah, we talking about.

[Phil Labonte]

Same thing will happen with aoc. She will, she will not serve. I mean, maybe she serves two terms.

[Tim Pool]

Right.

[Phil Labonte]

And she gets in. Maybe she serves two terms and she gets to 45 years old.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

She runs in her mid-30s.

[Phil Labonte]

She's like, I just looked. And she's like 39, I think or. No, she's. She's 36 right now. So like just barely eligible.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, and like, so if she were to get into. To the Senate. Because generally it's really, really hard for Congress for Congress people to win the presidency. But a senator has the, the gravitas or whatever after, after spending a little time in the Senate, that, that is the most likely route.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

And if she gets to the Senate, the Senate is a very guarded place. And she won't be saying goofy things. There won't be that. You know, it's a very guarded place. This is why they can kind of manage reputation a little bit. Bit easier over there in the Senate. But she is, I am telling you personally, she is an engaging person. And to Phil's point, why that is so scary, because it does come down to charisma and she is a movement and if you don't believe she's leading that party. Remember everybody laughed at the Green New Deal. It became the law of the land.

[Phil Labonte]

What people don't even realize that the inflation reduction react was just the Green New Deal.

[Tim Pool]

That's her bill.

[Phil Labonte]

It's the same bill exactly.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Was laughing at her. And she literally changed the country for the worst. I mean, one of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed. She came up with it.

[Tim Pool]

Yo, YouTube is. Is running. It must be under attack. Sorry. Too, it's under attack, Right? Are you seeing posts about it? I'm seeing a lot of stuff, especially in the. So YouTube just now when I refreshed it, because we're checking, because the page has been down, had a Captcha block on google.com which it looks like YouTube is under a cyber attack. And the point of doing that is to block out bot traffic. Basically, it looks like a DDoS attack. Yeah. Yeah. What I will say about AOC is Riley, remember when she fabricated that story about January 6th and she claimed that the cop came to her office and she thought she was going to die because the J6 was founder, despite the fact that what she was describing happened an hour before anyone breached the building. Which makes you wonder how it is she knew the building was going to be breached. Did she have foreknowledge of January 6th?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Who knows? I. I don't know, but I know this. That story you just told, that she told to all of us, everyone believes is true. Like this story of, you know, they were knocking down the door and I was barricaded.

[Tim Pool]

That.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

That's like, knowledge now. That's like a fact.

[Tim Pool]

Well, I think on the right, everyone knows she fabricated it because that was a big story. On the left, they don't know anything.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

No. But to her, I mean, bro, I mean, it's real.

[Tim Pool]

Remember when homeboy took the fire alarm thing off the door and then pulled the fire alarm? He put the emergency.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

You didn't go to jail.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

No. And like, I, you know, Phil's been saying this, I mean, literally for years. He's gonna end up being proven right on this. Alexandria is.

[Tate Brown]

Is.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

She's a problem.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. She is the most dangerous person in the. In the. In the. In D.C. she's the most dangerous Democrat.

[Tate Brown]

Well, because the, like, Republicans, conservatives, broadly have this problem where, like, the candidates that we think the Democrats should pick are never actually in line with what the base actually wants. In the Democrat Party, where, like, Republicans are always, like, fixated, like, on this boogeyman that Michelle Obama is going to, like, change your mind and, like, run for president or like, Gavin Newsom's just obvious shoo in for the Democrats. Like, the Democrat base wants to go as radical as possible right now. Now, AOC fits that bill perfectly. Like.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Tate Brown]

On what planet would they not pull that lever? And they're so angry. Right?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

And don't forget, Bernie is Handing over his entire network and operation to her. She is inheriting that there's a reason the two of them have been out on the road together.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, well that's what you saw. You saw that video after Zoron1 and he goes and visits Bernie and it was literally like Obi Wan. And, and, and like it was like a passing of the torch. Like like great work. I can finally retire now. Like you're taking. Because it's like that's a very real thing. Like that was like a figurative passing of the torch that we were watching. Oh yeah, it's getting. I mean they're cranking it up to an 11.

[Tim Pool]

Let's. Let's talk about the direction this country is going. And we'll start with this video here from our friend Zoran Mamdani, who has publicly stated he's looting New York City. Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they are so that the city can be on firm financial footing. However, in order to get. Get to this point of closing the gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to raid the rainy day fund, the retiree health benefits trust reserve and to increase property taxes across these other years would rather.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Wow.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Wow.

[Tim Pool]

That's insane man. Take a look at this. Take a look at this here, here. Welcome to New York City. We call it San Francisco Junior.

[Phil Labonte]

Unbelievable.

[Tim Pool]

That is. That is feces is filled with like this bro. It's been only a couple of months.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

That is literally an s storm.

[Tim Pool]

Literally man. So we have this. And this Gager Capital guy said sell morons on taxing the billionaires immediately raise property tax on every middle class family in New York New York. To which this guy responds. 67 of New York City New York City residents don't own any property in the city. The notion that this attacks hike primarily on normal working New Yorkers is an absolute joke. And I'll give a shout out to our good friend Hassan Piker for making me apprised of this because he retweeted it. Because leftists don't understand economics in the slightest. So let me try and explain it to you. 89% of residential rentals in New York City are run by businesses. Not. Not individual millionaires and billionaires. They're actually companies that maintain and staff these buildings because having a place to live requires fixing plumbing, fixing the heaters, making sure the front door works, cleaning the hallways. This is why they're superintendents. Now when you raise property taxes on everybody, including some of these businesses only have like 10 units. They're small businesses that maintain a it so that you don't have to pay property taxes or other fees or often your water bill. Now that they're going to raise the property taxes, one of two things is going to happen. They're simply going to pass that expense off to you and your rents will increase. Knowing commie New York, however, they're probably going to try and rent control, which means the business owners have already done this. We're going to see rent versus cost price inversion. This means that it becomes more expensive to rent the property out than to just do nothing with it and sit on it as an empty asset. So if you own the property, they increase the property taxes. The business that runs it says it's no longer a viable business. They will sell off the property or abandon it. And then what happens? You are going to get empty buildings, bankrupt businesses, loss of jobs, and the best part, slum lords. These people don't understand a lick of economics. I saw a great video where this old guy is arguing with a lefty in the street and he's like, you think that I should pay 70% of my income after $2 million? And the guy goes, yes, and 75% for every dollar after that. And he goes, okay, once I reach $2 million in income, I'm going to furlough all of my employees and I'm going to go play golf and go on my yacht for the remainder of the year. And now nobody works because they don't understand how economics work. So congratulations to all the commies in New York for watching your retiree health savings get looted and your property taxes spike.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah. Also like, it's tough for people that don't live or haven't been to New York City or understand like how the outer boroughs work. But like the majority of properties in New York City are still single family homes, like Queens, Brooklyn and then pretty much the entirety of Staten island are single family homes. So the only people that are really going to feel the pinch here is not these, again, these large corporations that you know, own a lot of rental properties or even these like again, these wealthy, these sort of wealthy property owners that presumably he, he thinks he's like really putting some weight on here. It's just like normal middle class people that still own homes like in Queens, Staten island, they're the ones that are going to feel the pinch because like what, a 10% increase? If you again have millions of dollars in the bank, that doesn't really impact you as much. But if you're like literally Just trying to survive on your mortgage payments in Queens. You're cooked. You're doing, it's over for you. So they're going to have to sell their home again. No one's going to want to buy these single family homes again. Like, like families. This is going to go to businesses. Businesses are going to buy up the majority of the single and then they're going to turn them into rental properties. So all this is ensuring is that you're eliminating home ownership in New York City because there's still a ton of single family homes in New York City.

[Phil Labonte]

He's a communist, so he thinks the property is theft anyways.

[Tate Brown]

So I mean, it's just, all it is, is like it's a consolidation move. It just ensures that there's more businesses owning property.

[Phil Labonte]

Exactly what happens with communists. All the time. Not busy, they, they, they canoe out. The middle class, insurance, the government, yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Government'S going to own them. Ultimately, that's the objective.

[Tim Pool]

Because what, what happens is too. So what happens right now is property taxes go up. The small business rentals, 89% of the rentals are, are small, are owned by businesses, some large, some small. They say, okay, it is now too expensive to run this and they legally won't let me increase rent. So I give up. The city then goes, well, how about this? We will buy the property off, off you at a good rate. And we had, when we had, when de Blasio was in, during COVID he said their strategy was to buy up these buildings for pennies on the dollars to make community housing. This is the game they're playing. We've already seen this happen where landowners, building owners, businesses have begun to leave properties vacant because the price limits, the rent limits that are in place by law make it so that it's more expensive to rent it than to not rent it. So what they're doing is they're leaving these. There's one video where the guy basically says, it's going to cost us $20,000 to fix this apartment up after the previous tenant damaged it. We have to pay that cost. However, we can only charge X amount of rent. We would not make our money back ever. Because the wear and tear of the existing tenant is going to require costs. So we just leave it empty. And now there's people saying, like, why can't I afford rent anywhere? Because communists are very stupid. They are deeply insane and stupid people. And when you vote for things like communism, you are voting for stupidity.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

And you hit the nail on the head. It's communism. And the End of the day, it comes down to one simple word that I think we all understood that this agenda is about and that's control. So once you're living in one of these, you know, government run and provided homes, all the little psycho idiosyncrasies that the left is about out how many times you can flush your toilet, how much water you can run, can you have a gas stove. You know, all those little things to control every aspect of your life. And how you live your life will be determined by the government because you are dependent on them for your very existence in the shelter that you live in, the home that you live in, the roof over your head.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Tim Pool]

Well, you know, the problem I see largely is that, you know, I just put it like this. The problems that we're facing are because it is, it is due to the fact that Americans over a long period of time have become fat and complacent that we've come to a place where you can have a Zoran Mamdani being like, yeah, we're going to gut your bills. There's crap all over the streets. San Francisco. How did we, how did we as Americans allow any of this to happen?

[Phil Labonte]

Happen?

[Tim Pool]

The truth is that the generations that came before us, excuse me, just largely didn't care.

[Tate Brown]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

They were like, what do you mean the system runs itself? And what happens? They got fat and happy and then the people in office were corrupt and started gutting the machine for, for their own benefit. And now we're on a debt, we're in a, we're in a death spiral.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Can the tailspin be recovered from and pulled out of. I'm not entirely sure. But historically we do tend to see a few things from situations like this. You could possibly get a Caesar esque Roman Empire, the Republic falls, and then a strong man says I'm not going to let it happen and takes over a. An Abraham Lincoln ask. Suspension of habeas corpus and constitutional rights to keep the union stabilized. You could also, you also could get a Bolshevik revolution far leftists go to the centers of power, take out the command structure, then they assume control and everybody's just too scared to do anything about it. You could also get a Franco esque type scenario where a military leader says I'm not letting these commies win and then just decides to start fighting.

[Tate Brown]

Right?

[Tim Pool]

It's going to be one of something like this. We don't know exactly what it'll look like. History doesn't repeat. It rhymes. So I wish you all the best of luck. And I hope you are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

[Tate Brown]

But even New York City, like the, the people that live in New York City, the standards drop because they're replacing New Yorkers. Like, you can go and look at the demographic makeup of New York City. The foreign born proportion of the population is increasing year over year. It's not stopping. And so part of the problem is a lot of these people, they don't actually have like the expectation because we're saying, how can Americans tolerate this? How can Americans stand for this? It's like, well, there's not very many Americans left in New York City, certainly not very many Americans that have like a long lineage in the country. And so that's part of how you can consolidate power in places like New York City and places like Los Angeles. You just shake out Americans. That's the strategy that's going on here. Well, I mean, Zoron's coalition, but part.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Of it is not just shaking Americans out, it's bringing non Americans in. Back to the congressional map issue, is the census right? Congressional districts are made up of individuals, not citizens right now. And it should count for citizens. There are congressional districts in this country. Congressional districts, roughly 750,000 people. There are some districts that only have 250,000 citizens. Yeah, that's it. That is it. So it's like you gotta go fix this census issue, which I know the administration is looking at and I'm praying to God that they do, because if they don't, we're cooked.

[Phil Labonte]

Is that something that Congress is going to be helpful with or is it something that the executive can do on his own or.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

The executive tried to do that during the last census. It went to court. I think they're going to take another run in it for the next census. Congress can certainly. Absolutely. Look, we can pass any law that we want, want within the bounds of the Constitution.

[Phil Labonte]

No, you can't. You can't barely pass any laws.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, well, I'm speaking theoretically.

[Tim Pool]

You're right.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

By the, the powers vested, if we're.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Able to defeat our opponents in the House and then coerce our enemies, which is the Senate, then yes, we could do these things. But yeah, you could certainly pass a law to do it. But you know, the Senate is kind of the go along, get along club over there and they're living in six year terms and you know, whatever, no problem. You know, just kind of managing the decline of the country.

[Tim Pool]

Appeal the 17th.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I'm actually for that.

[Tim Pool]

I am completely for it. Yeah, 100% we got to do it. You know, I, I will admit, I think based on what we've seen largely in the political landscape, I, I am, I don't know what the right word is for it, but I think liberalism has reached its conclusion for this country and that is the fault of those who purported to be classical liberals but did not defend what they believed in. So I would describe it like this. I, I view myself as a classical liberal. For those are not familiar with that term means it doesn't refer to American politics at all. It's a reference to political ideology of, you know, largely what this country was, was founded on. But understand this country was also founded on blasphemy laws, strong social codes, strong. And people being hung in the streets when they committed crimes against other people. I was not to say I'm for those things now, but the, the thing is we believed in semi decentralized government. We believed in guaranteed rights and protections to be written down and to a certain degree, freedom of people to practice their religion as they saw fit over a long enough period of time. This worldview, which I largely agree with, not like the, the minutiae of how they were doing bad things, everyone understands we do better over time. Right. Slavery was bad. However, they allowed in other ideologies and cultures which opposed this. At this point we are looking at the corruption and I mean the political sense, I mean general decay of our institutions. That is the 70th Amendment, for those that aren't familiar states, that effectively we're having a popular vote for Senator. It used to be that your state legislature, your state representatives would decide who they would appoint to represent the state. That is the better way to do it because that requires individuals then pay attention to who their local senators and reps actually are and what's going on in their state with the creation or the, the ratification of the 17th amendment. Now nobody even knows who's running their own local jurisdictions or districts and, or towns or whatever. And you get these members of Congress that are like, vote for me and I'll clean up our town. Why would a, a federal member of Congress be cleaning up your local town in your district? Your, your representative is going to go to Congress and represent your interest to the federal government on issues of national taxation, borders and foreign policy. But these people now don't understand that we are a republic. So I say this, we need a hard reset, unfortunately. And I don't know how it comes about, but I know that whether we do it or not, it's going to happen. Because if it doesn't happen by the brute force of the right, the left will smash everything and burn it down. And then if the. If either the right gives up and you get a Bolshevik style revolution or the right fights back and gets their reset.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

So if you repealed the 17th Amendment right now you go and look at the number of legislatures controlled by Republicans or split legislatures. So say it goes one, one. We'd have close to 60 senators. The Republicans would. Right now. We would have close to 60 senators right now, if not 60. And guess what it would do? It would reinstitute this beautiful word you just mentioned. Republic. We're a republic. And so it would put focus back on the state legislatures which are largely ignored except when we're going through this redistricting process right now in states like Virginia. So people should be paying attention to what your elected officials doing in your state legislature. They have a lot more impact on your day to day than a US Senator does.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, literally. It's crazy, like the retconning that people do with the founders. Like there were these wholesome chungus, like democracy advocates and everything.

[Tim Pool]

They were all fat, brutal American.

[Tate Brown]

I'm like, dude, like it was a law in every state where like you couldn't hold elected office unless you were a Protestant. Like they were like very, they kept things very tight back then.

[Tim Pool]

Freedom of religion to be Protestant.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, they'd be like, whoa, you're a Baptist, all right, we'll let you in. But that's a little crazy. And then like nowadays it's like there.

[Tim Pool]

Were a few exceptions like Virginia and Maryland because of the Catholic population. But most of the original 13 colonies were. You had to profess a belief in a Protestant Christian God. The other interesting thing people need to understand is there were not just 13 colonies people. People. Don't they think, right, that Britain established 13 cos. No, Canada was British too. And still is. And when, when the original colonies went to Quebec and they were like, hey, you should join us, they were like. And so then the War of 1812, we were like, we're gonna go take it. And then we went to go take Montreal and we basically got it. And the British burned down the White House. And we were like, crap.

[Tate Brown]

So anyway, also crazy how the Canadians claim the dub there. I'm like, you guys didn't do anything. That was the British. That's crazy to me. That was still a family feud, you guys. Like, you weren't even a thing yet.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Did you hear in Canada they're having a no kings rally? Yeah. And they literally have a King.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tate Brown]

They call it no tyrants because.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah. No t. It's like no king. Oh, wait a minute.

[Tate Brown]

These.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You have a king you know, you.

[Tate Brown]

Can disavow because you're a sitting member of Congress. But these maple monkeys are getting a little out of control. It's getting a little out of control.

[Phil Labonte]

We don't have. We don't have to listen to the frostbacks and, and the, the situation, the situation with the king in, in Canada, Ian, reminds us all the time that there is a king still in Canada.

[Tate Brown]

They like not to get super granular here, but they don't even endorse the monarchy. Like Justin Trudeau is an avid supporter of the monarchy, but don't say that. But it's not because he's like, we have this like, you know, classical Anglo tradition in Canada, like that would be based. If that's why he liked the monarchy, but he likes the monarchy purely because America doesn't have one. And Canada's entire, entire self conceptualization as a nation is rooted in like insecurity that they're basically just like America. JV Team don't. So they have to endorse these. I'm just.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I mean, is that letting in here you say that.

[Tim Pool]

You know what we need? You know what we need? We need. We need to purge the Supreme Court, except for Thomas and Alito, and then bring out a bunch of actual based pro Americans so that they actually rule on things that matter. The Supreme Court is again, like Alito and Thomas are based in fact. You know, I've long argued just Thomas's extended family. They all get appointed the Supreme Court. Everybody else out and we'll pack the court. We'll get, you know, four more seats. Just Thomas, your kids, your cousins, whatever. They're all good. He's the best. But we have to. It's funny how he says so little. He's just very stoked and he sits there and then he gives the right answers. The problem is that I'm reading this thing about the second Amendment. Virginia is trying to ban guns, basically.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

And the Supreme Court is just too scared. They're too political. And I don't mean political in the sense that they have political opinions. I mean, they're concerned that the responses they give will create a political or cultural response instead of just doing what needs to be done. We need a Supreme Court who's going to be like, don't know, don't care. This is what is. But we don't have that. We have two guys.

[Tate Brown]

I would like Clarence Thomas, if he was like, appointed like SCOTUS Caesar and then he could, like, choose who the successors would be personally. Well, completely subvert the entire system.

[Phil Labonte]

Alito, something like 74. And he's talking about retiring before the end of. Yeah, before the end.

[Tim Pool]

Well, he needs to do it now because he's not going to get kids confirmed if they take the Senate.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, 74. Like, he's probably still got 10 years because, I mean, look, I love Trump and I've supported everything. Unfortunately, the SCOTUS picks haven't quite resulted in what we would have liked. So, I don't know.

[Tim Pool]

Should appoint Matt Walsh.

[Tate Brown]

Emil Bove is like the shoe in for the next SCOTUS appointee. And I mean, I don't know too much about him, but a lot of our more legally minded people still have some questions.

[Tim Pool]

Matt, Matt, if they. If they nominate you for Supreme Court, would you take it? Matt Walsh should be this very salient question.

[Tate Brown]

Well, we have.

[Tim Pool]

He'd make Thomas look like kg Korean Katani, Brian Jackson.

[Tate Brown]

Well, now that Riley's not here, I won't have any Catholic pushback. One big problem is there's zero Protestants on the Supreme Court right now. It's all Catholics and, like, Jewish people. It's like, what happened? Protestants, the majority of the country. Where's our representation?

[Tim Pool]

Like, what's. What's. What's. Katanji Brown Jackson?

[Tate Brown]

She's like, well, she's. I guess she would be considered prostitutes. Baptist. But like, I don't know how devoted she is.

[Phil Labonte]

Makes sense. Probably not very. She doesn't know what a woman is.

[Tim Pool]

I want. I want to just like, have you guys seen that Matt Walsh judge show that he did briefly? Yeah, it was very funny.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I just want to. I'm just imagining Matt Walsh on the Supreme Court and he's just like, no, we're banning trans. And they're just like. He's like, I don't care what the law says.

[Tate Brown]

Rules by decree. It's like, yeah, that's not the judge's job. He's like, I don't care. Javelin. A cool robe.

[Tim Pool]

I. Javelin?

[Phil Labonte]

You replied?

[Tate Brown]

What is that?

[Tim Pool]

A javelin?

[Tate Brown]

Maybe that would be nice, too. A gavel. My apologies.

[Phil Labonte]

Look, the left has no compunction with doing things like that. It doesn't matter what the law says. They just interpret it the way they want it.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Have you listened to what Katanji Brown Jackson has said about half this stuff? Like, she's. She.

[Tate Brown]

We have no choice. It's like 80% of the words.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, right.

[Tate Brown]

Seriously, no choice but to listen.

[Tim Pool]

Famously, in, like, the previous rulings, she made arguments that I. I forgot exactly what it was. It was. I should pull this one up where she made an argument. I got. What was this one? Do you guys remember what happened? It was a big story where she made some, like, inverted recursive arguments about why they had to do something because they can't do it or something like that.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't remember exactly what you're talking about, but the most common phrase that she uses is, I don't understand.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah. And they keep having this problem where she just, like, debates the lawyers. Like, it's like this. You're not supposed to do that if it's not like a debate show. It's insane.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. She thinks that if she can convince the law, she thinks that there's an audience that she has to convince.

[Tate Brown]

And then. And then this Clarence Thomas, I think the first thing he ever spoke into the record was he was making fun of the lawyer because he went to Yale. I think that's what it was like. It's like the complete opposite of kbg. So kbj.

[Phil Labonte]

Unreal, but, yeah. I mean, kbg, kbj.

[Tate Brown]

I was mixing her up with Ginsburg.

[Phil Labonte]

Kbj. She. I mean, it. It. She is. I've said multiple times, she's an embarrassment to the court. The fact that she wouldn't. That she. I mean, everyone knows that she knows what a woman is, but she refused to say because of her ideology. That is just. That was the. The most disqualifying thing that I think I've seen any Supreme Court justice do when they were being interviewed.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You're talking about Kitanji. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Katanji, Brown, Jackson.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Tim Pool]

Here's what it was. Here what it was. Amy Coney Barrett said, quote, we will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this. Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

She was arguing that Trump can't do these things, so we have to do them by decree. And everybody on the court, literally everyone, even the liberals, were like, what? Crazy?

[Tate Brown]

Yeah. So my. Was literally like, what are you talking about? She's like, where did you. Who are you?

[Tim Pool]

You know what?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Her opinion is the most. Most aligned with the left's worldview.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

200 years. No, we're in the now. Yeah, we're talking about right now.

[Phil Labonte]

She doesn't have.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

She has by any means necessary.

[Phil Labonte]

Exactly. Her opinion is specifically whatever the left believes right now you can guarantee what her opinion is going to be, what she's going to say, what. Where she's going to come down in every single vote. You know, one of the frustrations that people on the right have with people like Amy Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh stuff is, is sometimes you're not really sure, like, there's actually a possibility that they will see things differently and they'll have. They'll come down and vote in a way that the conservatives don't like. Yeah, it happens all the time. But that's because they're actually judges. They're actually like, they, they may come down and they may come down on things in the way that the right doesn't like, but they're. They come down in a way where they actually thought about it and they make at least a decent argument. Hold on a second. And the point that I'm making is, you know, like Sotomayor and definitely Ketanji, Brown Jackson. You know, there's no question. There's no, there's no thought process. There's no thought process. They're not listening to any of the, any of the arguments in front of them being made and thinking about this. They're just like, okay, this is the, this is what the, the, the question before the court. I know before any arguments are made, I know exactly what I'm going to say long before the arguments start.

[Tate Brown]

Well, and Katanji, like, literally this was recently was like, in a Broadway play. Like, she's clearly being swayed by actors. Activist.

[Phil Labonte]

She was, she was at the granny.

[Tim Pool]

It's really simple. If you want to zoom out what it is. Republicans think they're having an argument with their roommate, but it's actually a demon wearing the roommate as a skin suit. They're sitting there being like, the purpose of our institutions is to have democracy where we will converse among our fellow citizens. And then they're looking at the men and the guy from Men in Black in the Edgar suit. Right. I have a good idea about how to run the country. Let's let everybody in at once. And they're like, well, that's an argument I disagree with, but I win anyway. And then they open the borders and then your country's gone.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, literally.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Tate Brown]

John Doyle makes this point all the time. And it's such a great point, is literally we're going to be, like, facing the wall. They're going to have, like, rifles at our backs. And then the conservatives are going to turn to each other and they could be like, could you imagine if we were the ones holding the right action.

[Tim Pool]

Before we go to our rumble rants and and chats. I want to play this video of Donald Trump if he was born in other countries. Here's Venice. I don't, I don't know what song that is. I don't get copyrights. Dimitri Trov from Russia. Donald Trump. Donaldo Trumpz Mexico. Donaldo Trombi Italy.

[Phil Labonte]

Italia.

[Tate Brown]

Ah.

[Tim Pool]

Dominique Trumpe France. What do we have here? Donald Trump from German.

[Tate Brown]

It's a really German name. Right.

[Tim Pool]

China.

[Tate Brown]

Let's go.

[Tim Pool]

Iran. What's next? We've got Brazil. Donaldo Trumpa. What's next? What did it say? Donna Rudo to run poo.

[Tate Brown]

It's like what did you think Don Road Doctrine looked like? That's what it is. We just installed Donald Trump's in every country.

[Tim Pool]

Donaldo Trumpezi from Argentina. Nah, German name works there too.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah. Low key Donut Trump at this point. That's a German name.

[Tim Pool]

Donal Okorampa. Why would someone make this Sir Donald Trump 10 this, this is, this is.

[Tate Brown]

What Donro Doctrine is going to look. We just install Trump clones in all these countries.

[Tim Pool]

Just ethnic Trump clones.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Anybody have a favorite thing there?

[Tate Brown]

I like, I like the English one.

[Tim Pool]

I like the Japanese one. Because there's a secret to learning Japanese that people need to know and I can help you understand. I'm going to teach you a bunch of Japanese words right away very easily. Japanese people don't make up new words for the most part for, for new things. So for instance, how do you say ice cream in Japanese? You just say it with a Japanese accent and like computer is like computer.

[Tate Brown]

My, that's my favorite thing is the, the European immigrants coming to America and getting cut off from the motherland. So they had to come up with new words to describe like the animals that we have here. My favorite one is like Texas German because they'd never seen like a skunk like we had it. So they just called it a stinker cat. It's like a stinky cat, you know.

[Tim Pool]

I want to give this one to my anime friends out there. All the Weebs. So I'm sure you guys are familiar with Naruto.

[Tate Brown]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

Because of the Naruto running people were doing where they have arms out like, like, like they were developmentally disable Naruto. This the full series ended. They created a new spin off which is still effectively the same show but it follows his kid Boruto. And so I'm a big Naruto fan. I, I, I Read every manga when it was coming out up until its completion. And I've never really cared for Boruto. And I always just thought, like, naruto sounds like a Japanese thing. Like, you go to a Japanese restaurant, they have, like, naruto roll in boxes or something. It must be something, I guess. And then I was like, boruto, What a stupid word. What does that even mean? And then someone pointed out it's literally just bolt, like lightning bolt, but with a Japanese accent, Boroto. And I was like, oh, my God.

[Phil Labonte]

I feel like that's a little Korean racism coming through.

[Tim Pool]

I'm allowed to be because I'm also Japanese, right?

[Tate Brown]

Playing both sides.

[Tim Pool]

That's right.

[Phil Labonte]

That's right.

[Tate Brown]

I love that.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I'm allowed to. Let's see.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You know, I think I like Italian Trump.

[Tim Pool]

Italian Trump?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Come on.

[Phil Labonte]

Everyone wants to say the black guy was the best one.

[Tim Pool]

Nigerian Trump.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, Nigerian tr.

[Phil Labonte]

All right.

[Tim Pool]

All right, everybody, we're going to go to your rumble rants and super chats. Before we do, make sure you go to cast brew.com and pick up some delicious Cast Brew coffee. Now, everybody's favorite is Appalachian Nights. Somehow I just accidentally stumbled upon a Grand Slam coffee. Basically what happened was we got a bunch of samples of different, different blends. I like an earthy, dark, robust, chocolatey kind of coffee. And so I took these flavor profiles, mixed them together, and I said, this is what I like. And then we formulated it, and it wasn't intended to actually be any kind of big product for us. We actually thought that Roberto Jr. Was going to be our flagship because it's got a rooster on the back, and Roberto Jr. Was our mascot. Every day, people kept saying they liked Appalachian Nights way better, and they bought more and more until you can see here the reason why it goes. Appalachian Nights Graphene Dream rise with Bernard Jr. That's the sell order. Basically. Whichever one sells the most is on the furthest left. So Ian's Graphene Dream actually is our number two bestseller. You guys are putting Ian through college, and you know he needs it. It's a low acidity coffee. Ian was like, my stomach hurts when I drink coffee. And we were like, let's make a low. He was like, I want a low acidity one. And we're like, okay, let's figure it out. So we blended a low acidity coffee. It tastes really, really good, and it sells crazy for function. The funny thing is, everybody else, this. This is so Ian. Everybody else, like, let's do a flavor of some sort and like, let's try, you know, for. For Seamus. We were like, should we do a whiskey? You know, or something like that. And then Ian was like, make mine functional. And it sells like crazy. So I don't actually know how else to make a functional coffee, but, you know, high acid, burn your stomach to shreds.

[Phil Labonte]

That's kind of what the masochist blend. That's kind of what the Alex Stein one was, right? The double caffeine.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

That's kind of. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And you know, to be honest, the double caffeine didn't really sell that well. It actually took a while to sell out of our double caffeine because people were like, it's a little too much.

[Tate Brown]

Much.

[Tim Pool]

But now we do have the Dr. Alex Stein's big booty Latina love potion. Alex Stein is not a doctor. That is our. Our latest. That we put out for. For Valentine's Day. And so. Indeed. And we wrote. We wrote a song too. We AI. Generated a song about it. It's very good fun. Anyway, let's grab your rants and chats. Gro says, rumble Wallet. Yes, indeed. Rumble Wallet. It's a great way to make payments. Tip Rumble creators. Good stuff. Bay Wolf says, with all of this end times and satanic panic 2.0 talk, you really should have a non Christian Adam Green. He's an expert in Jewish and Christian messianism. Perhaps we should bring a simulist, a Christian theologian, and who else should bring a Scientologist? Scientologist won't do it.

[Phil Labonte]

They probably. They probably.

[Tim Pool]

We, we. We. We've had science. We've had a handful of Scientologists on the show.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Show.

[Tim Pool]

Oh yeah, yeah. And they basically all just say, I don't want to talk about religion. And. But I mean, my response is always like, yeah, like we, we actually don't. It's. We're a news show. We don't. We don't. Unless someone wants to start talking about it. We get into like, generally Christianity.

[Phil Labonte]

Like, I can't talk about a Tom Cruise will come to my house.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Tate Brown]

Because I'll spurg out and derail the show. That's why.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, I gotta be honest, the. The Scientologists that we have had. I'm not going to name anybody. They've been great. They're great people. I mean, I. I understand there's a lot of people who don't like. They, they. The Scientology is derided quite a bit for a variety of reasons, but the people that we've had on have been nothing but pleasant to us. And they've not preached to us. They've actually said, I'd prefer not to talk about religion. And we were like, yeah, that works for me. I mean, to be honest, I didn't want to hear it.

[Tate Brown]

You know, Mission Impossible is great. Queens was good.

[Tim Pool]

Hey, look, man, Tom Cruise is awesome.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

He's awesome. And he's one of the last best great action stars that exist.

[Tim Pool]

I know. And he's like 60.

[Phil Labonte]

It's 63. I actually looked at 63.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

63.

[Tate Brown]

That's what I mean. Again, you know, you can disavow because you're a congressman. He's like white excellence. When you really think. Even Justin Bieber, like, let's go think about this.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Like Top Gun too. He was like, you know what? Do what people like. They like action films with a good ending, good plot line. Pretty similar to Top Gun 1. And guess what? Highest grossing movie out.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Million dollars.

[Tate Brown]

My dad talks about the first one like he was in North Carolina. Movie comes out. He comes out of the theater. Air Force, Navy set up right outside. Like, you saw boy fly one of them things. You're peeling potatoes on the golf.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Talk to some guys that joined the Navy around that time. They're like, yeah. I mean, I just saw Top Gun and was like. I was like, I want to fly fighter jets.

[Tim Pool]

And they were like, yeah, like.001% of people. Yeah, good luck. And. And it's like, it's like a high ranking. It's like you're. You're like a captain, right? You have to be an officer. Officer, yeah. I mean, that's serious stuff.

[Tate Brown]

That. And then you got like, like three extra years of training. Like it's like a seven year process.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

But you know, I'm really excited for AI because now it means I can watch. You know, my goal is to have a movie with Jason Statham and Tom Cruise. And they just go around beating people up. Because you make a movie with Jason Statham where just goes around beating people up. I'm gonna watch it. Yeah. They've done like, like 20 of them.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

It's a hit every time.

[Tim Pool]

Doesn't matter. Literally doesn't matter. The reason. Like, give me, give me one where he's a janitor. And like some like ragged mafia guy drops a sandwich on the ground and refuses to pick it up. So he just goes on a rampage, wiping out the mafia. I'm gonna watch it. Yeah, it's great. And, and Tom Cruise, all the Mission Impossibles. The last one I wasn't a fan of. They Tried jumbling too much together to make a finale. But I love all the Mission Impossible movies. They are that. And Fast and the Furious is fantastic. And I've argued this. The. The ff cu. As I call it, the Fast and Furious Cinematic Universe. They need to. They need to level up because you don't deal with outer space. Right. Yeah. So, I mean, it's remarkable that this movie franchise starts where it's like undercover cop drama.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And then, like, 10 years later, they're in outer space. I am for it. I am stoked for AI Because I've argued that the next movie needs to be that they all get superpowers.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Oh, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And my plot, my treatment is that, you know, Dom is working on his new car and he's. And then, you know, Ludacris is like, yo, I got this experimental engine that uses a plasma drive. And then they're all working on it, but then it blows up and they all get blasted by experimental quantum singularity. Whatever. And then it gives them all different powers.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Could we give them all deloreans? Oh, yes.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

And they go through travel.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Like, they're all time traveling.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah, I think.

[Tim Pool]

Look.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Anybody listening?

[Tim Pool]

Just think about it, bro. Have you seen se dance 2.0?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

No.

[Tim Pool]

This AI stuff where they're making all this crazy. Let me see if I can find something to play. Because, guys, we showed the Brad Pit Tom Cruise thing. It is an understatement. The stuff that's coming out right now, it's incredibly good. Like, cease and desists. First of all, there's this one, which is a legend. I'm going to play this for those that haven't seen it. You ready for this one? Wait, here we go.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Go.

[Tim Pool]

Here we go. We need to build more data centers. AI Needs it to cure cancer, Right?

[Phil Labonte]

We're curing cancer.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

For those that are just listening, it's the scene from Star Wars. I think this is what. Second one it's from.

[Phil Labonte]

No, it's the third one, the Phantom Menace.

[Tim Pool]

That's not Phantom Menace. No, that's the.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, Attack of the Clones then.

[Tim Pool]

Right. The second one. And Natalie Portman's character, she's like, we're. We're curing cancer. Right. And then it zooms out. It just has massive AI Generated boobs. So, you know, for Kieran, that's. That's. That. That. That's what the. You know. But let me see if I can.

[Tate Brown]

Wow.

[Tim Pool]

Dude.

[Tate Brown]

Riley, are there cong. It seems like. Are there congressmen that are using AI to write a lot of their press Releases. Because I've seen some people pointing that out.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

I don't know if they are. I'm not aware of it, but I.

[Tim Pool]

Maybe. Here's a. Here's a really. Here's a much better example. Check this out. Check this out, guys. That's super cool. So this is, I believe, this Attack on Titan. And they're showing two. So let me just set it up real quick. They use Se Dance to create a. A photorealistic photo. Well, a liveaction version of Attack on Titan. I think it's Attack on Titan side. That's crazy. I. I watched. I watched Walter White fight Captain America the other day and it's. Yeah.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

How to turn out.

[Phil Labonte]

There's a lot of Batman versus Captain America out there.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Oh, yeah?

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Let me see if I can find it. It's going to be on X somewhere.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, it's that.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

That's where I've seen all the. The clips.

[Tim Pool]

Here's Walter White fighting Neo from the Matrix. I'm away. Awake. I'm awake. Follow.

[Phil Labonte]

Who are you?

[Tim Pool]

Fine.

[Phil Labonte]

You take one and you see what's the purity?

[Tim Pool]

It's not that kind of. I don't do unknown compounds.

[Tate Brown]

It's a metaphor.

[Tim Pool]

Fine, let's learn.

[Tate Brown]

Here.

[Phil Labonte]

Rules are negotiable.

[Tim Pool]

Matter isn't negotiable. Momentum is momentum.

[Tate Brown]

Kinetic energy transfer conservation.

[Tim Pool]

You're testing variables. Fine. Let's run the experiment. Listen to the system. Systems drift. Entropy wins. Safety margin. Reaction rate increases with pressure. Noise. Irrelevant.

[Phil Labonte]

Running is pointless.

[Tim Pool]

Then I'm done running. You're predictable. Mr. White, this is great. You've been busy. I. I'm efficient.

[Phil Labonte]

We can do this the easy way.

[Tim Pool]

I'm not in danger. I am the one who knocks. You don't understand your position. Your mind makes it real.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Then my mind needs better equipment. Now we can work.

[Tim Pool]

Tread lightly. New environment, same atoms, different arrangement. Solid lattice, predictable phase transition. Liquid to precision. You can't intimidate chemistry, sir.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

You can't.

[Tim Pool]

We're here to deliver.

[Phil Labonte]

Stay on tap.

[Tim Pool]

Mask. Don't even look. Simply like it's a chemical ratio.

[Phil Labonte]

That's not a plan.

[Tim Pool]

Now it's a plan. All right, you get the point.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, it's.

[Tim Pool]

It's wild. Because my prediction was we were a few years away from something that's happening and there's already schematics being leaked. Leaked? Allegedly leaked from Sea Dance 3.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Where they reportedly Sea Dance 2 is now entering the public. So people are making stuff. But this means that what they have behind the scenes at bytedance. This is in China already exceeds it by to a great degree. And according to these alleged leaks, Sea Dance 3, which won't come out for some time, can make 15 minute videos. No longer 10 second clips you'll be able to actually type in. Make me a short film where Walter White gets trapped in the Matrix and it will make it. It will render the full thing for you relatively quickly. Yep. And so, you know, I talked about this and then I thought it was actually a great bit of.

[Tate Brown]

I.

[Tim Pool]

So I've talked about how Disney plus is going to have like the Disney corner where you can tell it. You'll press the microphone button and say, I want to watch Spider man fight the Hulk. And it will render a movie for you.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

You.

[Tim Pool]

And then Zachary Levi, the actor, came on and said basically the same thing. And that's been his concern the whole time. It's one of the reasons he for, you know, when he came out and, and endorsed RFK Jr and then got behind Trump for RFK Jr sake, his attitude was. I believe he said this several times publicly. Hollywood's over. AI is about to destroy everything. And people have no idea how crazy it's already getting. So he was like, I'm resigned myself. You know, the idea that he's going to refrain from talking about what he cares about because he's scared of losing his job. His job's gone already. It's gonna get nuts.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Did you see that movie? Maybe I saw it. I think it was on. I can't remember HBO or something like that, but it's these tech giants that are trapped in this house all together and they usually celebrate and one of them controls all the AI videos in the world and it's causing. People are watching all these attacks happen and they think that they're real.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, I've seen that.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, what it's called. It's like a.

[Tim Pool]

An overdubbed thing on Netflix. They like go to a bunker and stuff.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Think that they're being like, kept safe, but really.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Right? Yeah. And I can't remember the name of it. And they're like pleading with the guy, just turn off the AI videos. And he's like, no, no, no, this is fine. It's not real. And they can't. Then they don't know if it's real or not. I can't remember the name of that movie, but. But it's pretty interesting.

[Tim Pool]

Here's the Avengers fighting the Monkey King.

[Tate Brown]

Wow, That's crazy.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't even know who the Monkey King is.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Jeez, man.

[Tim Pool]

Well, you get the point? It's not perfect, but it's just getting. It's getting there so fast. And the video game stuff is crazy because we talked about Project Genie. Man. We made a game the other day of Alex Stein with a jetpack flying over the ice wall. And you can run jump and jetpack. It's actually. I was surprised. It had multiple controls and we. Alex Stein jumped over the ice wall.

[Tate Brown]

We could just have AOC giving a solid answer on Taiwan Data center.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

AI the thing.

[Tate Brown]

Data centers nationwide just start burning down. Like they. They're not enough data in the world to process that magnitude. It's impossible.

[Phil Labonte]

Just brown outs across the country.

[Tate Brown]

Takes on the power grid.

[Phil Labonte]

The whole power grid goes down. That's the.

[Tim Pool]

All right. Let's give it a shot. Correctly. It's.

[Tate Brown]

It's not. It's like I. I feel like they.

[Tim Pool]

Might not let me do it because AOC is a very, very high profile political figure here.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

But you can. You can make me.

[Phil Labonte]

She's untouchable.

[Tim Pool]

The craziest thing is in Google's Project Genie you can make Tim Pool. It is weird that that is possible. Yeah. It won't do it. Let's. Let's see if it'll let me do it. Might not. It might not let you do the UN Security Council. Things that are super hyper super political and things that are the top tier of copyright tend not to work. Like Mickey Simpsons works. Is it going to one?

[Tate Brown]

It's not.

[Tim Pool]

I don't know if it's going. While it's going. We'll grab some more Rumble rats. Dung is fun. Says YouTube went down because Europe has a swine epidemic going on and China will not buy pork from Europe. Hey, look at that. There it is. Tim Pool at the UN Security Council. So it's just the back of my.

[Tate Brown]

Head, you know, like it's usa, China, usa, France, Russian Federation. And then just like Gish. This is mysterious.

[Tim Pool]

Fifth, let's see what happens.

[Tate Brown]

The USA get two desks. That's actually how it should be. We should get two.

[Tim Pool]

This is. This is me going and. And declaring the UN now under the abolished. No subjugated.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, okay. There you go.

[Tim Pool]

There it is. And move around like Google Earth. Look at that.

[Phil Labonte]

Doesn't look like you.

[Tim Pool]

Not the face. Never does.

[Phil Labonte]

Shame.

[Tate Brown]

Strong out.

[Tim Pool]

But the general idea, you know, I put a beanie on me. It's funny because it's basing these off of old photos that it's aggregated from Google. But here I am walking around. It's like Grand Theft Auto U. Yeah. And so, theoretically, Project Genie is phase one. And the expectation is in about a year, you're gonna make games.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, imagine it's. There's gonna be an online universe where you make your own custom games, and it'd be like, I'm gonna play the game filmmade. And let me show you how crazy this we can do. Let's do in the sky over Japan.

[Phil Labonte]

Let's do.

[Tim Pool]

Who's someone we could try that's, like, not famous enough to get restricted, but famous enough that we're like, wow, look who it is.

[Phil Labonte]

Colin Kaepernick.

[Tim Pool]

He's. He's. I think he's too, too famous. Yeah. It's NFL.

[Tate Brown]

Oh.

[Phil Labonte]

You could do one of the things.

[Tim Pool]

Steve Fan or Steve Van. It's Steve Van V. Steven Crowd. That's a good one. Flying with a jetpack, you can make first person driving games in cars and motorcycles, you can make flying games, you can make Iron Man. It's. It's. It's crazy. Let's see if we can get it in the sky over Japan. Steven Crowder flying with a jetpack. I think it'll let us do it.

[Tate Brown]

I hope so.

[Tim Pool]

Nah, I won't do it. I won't do it. Yeah, some. Some people. Well, he was with Fox for a long time. Maybe that was why Ian, right?

[Tate Brown]

Well, they pick up Ian Cross.

[Tim Pool]

No, Ian's not famous enough. You got to be that special middle.

[Phil Labonte]

Ground Mo from the Three Stage.

[Tim Pool]

Way too famous.

[Tate Brown]

Maybe Phil Labonte. There's probably some picks they can pull.

[Tim Pool]

From Mo from the Three Stooges. Might work. Is it Moe fictional?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I think so.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Let's see if we can get Mo from the Three Stooges. Flying with a jetpack in the skies over Japan. I made a video where I was like, let's try it on. Everything broke. I couldn't make a single world happen. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Shame.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. It won't do post apocalypse for some reason. Hey, we got it. There we go. Why. Why is. Why are. What. What's with what? Why are there Japanese floating city like Mo from the Three Stooges with a jetpack? Dude, we are so cooked. No one's gonna vote because they're gonna be too busy gooning in their fake realities.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah. Retconning the three students.

[Phil Labonte]

Look at this future Japan.

[Tim Pool]

Let's go fly Mo flying in a futuristic Japan that's got floating Japanese. Like, they've retained the traditional architecture of Japan.

[Phil Labonte]

It actually does look pretty Japanese.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, you can go up, but you can't you can't go down. I guess you can't. Can I go down if I press down? Oh, you can, man. That's crazy. Holy. What if you can walk when you land?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Can you land and walk?

[Tim Pool]

Let's try. Wow. Dude, this is nuts.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

What?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, look at this.

[Tim Pool]

This took 30 seconds to render. Who wants to play Three Stooges in space Japan?

[Tate Brown]

What happened to his face? Just change, I think.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Tate Brown]

Glasses on and he's got a jetpack.

[Tim Pool]

He's flying around. Let's just go up. Let's just take it. But how do I turn? There we go. And over there. Wait, did I just turn the jetpack off?

[Tate Brown]

Oh, no.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, but he's still flying.

[Tim Pool]

Doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. He's still flying.

[Phil Labonte]

He's fine.

[Tate Brown]

I wonder if rent's cheaper or more expensive in this, like, sky.

[Tim Pool]

And then it renders a video and you can download the video.

[Tate Brown]

Wow.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

How about.

[Tim Pool]

How about this? Let's go for the crazy thing we can imagine. Let's go for a pizza restaurant in Washington D.C. and you are a baby trying to escape the pizza shop. It'll definitely let me. It'll definitely let me do this.

[Phil Labonte]

Trying to escape.

[Tim Pool]

I didn't need to add that context. You can literally just put a pizza restaurant and you're a baby. But, you know, let's see what it does.

[Tate Brown]

Maybe have some urgency.

[Tim Pool]

I was thinking about a name for this video game I'm making pizza. Something like, related to a door they're trying to get through. Like a. No, it won't do it. It won't do it. Let's just. Let's just do a baby. Let's do a toddler. A pizza restaurant in Washington D.C. i.

[Tate Brown]

Won'T let you generate a minor. So maybe if you like Hasbulla. He looks like a baby.

[Tim Pool]

Really? Adult baby.

[Tate Brown]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Old guy who looks.

[Tate Brown]

Hasbulla looks like, you know, young.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

Young.

[Tate Brown]

He's young at heart.

[Phil Labonte]

Benjamin Button. While.

[Tim Pool]

While that's going on, let's try and grab some of these other chats because we're goofing off too much. Wyatt Kaltenberg says the US will strike the Islamic Islamic Republic soon. Would you do a culture war on the Iranian revolution? I could hook up with good people. Many have fought was against them. Online interviews. Safest Interesting. Hey, look, it did it.

[Tate Brown]

Islamic.

[Phil Labonte]

Here we go.

[Tate Brown]

Like we're bombing France.

[Tim Pool]

Do you want to play my video game where you're a toddler trying to escape this Washington D.C. based pizza restaurant hunt?

[Tate Brown]

It's totally out of thin air.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, it won't do it. Retry, retry, retry. All right, let's grab a couple more before we go to the uncensored portion of the show. All right. It said no. What do we have a kin? Seth says, you don't know how bad it's getting. In Virginia. They are voting on a bill to inve to investigate to stop using salt on the roads in winter. Right after the last winter storm that made the term snow creek. Wow.

[Phil Labonte]

Why would they stop using salt?

[Tim Pool]

All right, let's see.

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Who the hell knows.

[Phil Labonte]

It's asking for people to die.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. What? Over here. Kajir says, Tim, I'm 70. Sure I'm more qualified than Democrats just by listening to your show. That's correct.

[Tate Brown]

That's true.

[Tim Pool]

You got it? Yeah. All right, everybody, we're going to the uncensored portion of the show [e-mail] so check that out. Don't miss it. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Tim Cast. I want to read one more super chat. I just saw Walter. Walter. Subject says, what would Tim have done if he was in the Lake Zurich kid situation? I mean, after Tim had deadlifted 600 pounds. Because Tim has such massive tea. He is an 18 year old kid just trying to document what the left was doing. So I embarrassingly almost got into a fight in Boston. So an antifa guy started swinging at my face and I stood my ground. Tucker Carlson had me on the show following that incident because when the antifa guy threatened to hit me, I held, I stood. Exactly. I just stood my ground and said okay. And you know, f around to find out he didn't hit me. He tried to make me flinch. Then some right wing dude pulled my hat off. Off for which there's a video of this and I've got seven or eight cops surrounding me and I turn around and I screamed. I was, I really wanted to knock his teeth out, but I'm surrounded by cops and so I just screamed at him. You're lucky I don't effing knock your teeth out right now. And then the cops like broke it up. So, yeah, I, you know, I would just say this, like if I was in a situation in high school and some dude came up to me and threatened to punch me, I would be in a fight fight. I don't think that's an absurd thing to say or a strong claim to make, bro. I'm gonna say this. If your attitude as a man is that you would be surpr like you. You don't believe another guy would get into a fight with someone who hit him. I think you probably have low T and low T is probably a stupid way to describe it, but it is a normal thing for a guy who gets hit to fight. That's like if any guy came up to me and said if someone took a sum me, I'd get into a fight with him, I'd be like, yep. So when you're like, yeah, Tim, would you? I'm like, yeah, most guys probably would like a guy swinging at you. You're going to try to avoid the fight for sure, but you might just stop him from punching you. You know what I mean? Anyway, Riley, do you want to shout anything out before we go?

[Rep. Riley Moore]

Yeah, just go ahead, follow me rep Riley Moore on all platforms and quick shout out to two long term listeners viewers subscribers Jay Yakamashi and Jimmy Barry. What's up dude?
