Tate Brown
The Wage cage, as they call it. I love it. It's fun. So it's good to see everyone again. Excited to be here.
Tim Pool
A lot is here.
Eliyahu
Good evening, everybody. I am a lot. Eliyahu, the White House correspondent here at Tim Cast. Let's get into the news.
Tim Pool
Our resident illegal wrestler. Right?
Dave Landau
Resident a lot of things, but got a good mustache.
Eliyahu
Thank you. I was actually, I thought it was a little bit too short and I've been a little bit self conscious about it.
Dave Landau
You shouldn't be good. You, you keep it.
Tim Pool
It's a, it's, it's very Bolton esque.
Dave Landau
I like it. No, I had one for years. I'm thinking about regrowing it. So I was looking at it. A little jealous.
Tim Pool
I think you should.
Dave Landau
I'm gonna regrow it.
Tim Pool
I think I'm actually bringing the full beard back, I think for the, for the fall. We'll see. We'll see how it goes.
Dave Landau
As a half Italian, somebody was just talking about dago culture.
Tim Pool
I. Can you believe the vulgarity?
Dave Landau
So I. We were talking about the Rizzler.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
And how he's bringing it back.
Tate Brown
He's bringing it back.
Dave Landau
He's a nine year old boy. Brings back the.
Tate Brown
So a lot of pressure on his little chubby shoulders.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
If any, if anyone can do it, the Rizzler can.
Dave Landau
Three cell phones. That kid.
Tim Pool
That's right. All right. So from the Guardian U.S. house panel subpoenas Bill and Hillary Clinton for Epstein testimony. House Oversight Committee also issued subpoenas to several former attorneys general and FBI directors. The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday issued subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as several former former attorneys general and directors of the FBI, demanding testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein. The Investigative Committee's Republican chair, James Comer sent the subpoenas in response to two motions lawmakers approved on a bipartisan basis last month as Congress navigated Outrage among Donald Trump supporters over the Justice Department's announcement that it would not release further details about Epstein, a disgraced financer who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
Dave Landau
Died?
Tim Pool
Yeah, allegedly. The subpoenas raised the possibility that more people, more details will become public about Trump's relationship with Epstein, which stretched for years, but appeared to have petered out by the time Epstein was convicted of sexually abusing girls in 2008. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported on the existence of sexually suggestive sketch and lewd letters sent Trump sent to Epstein as a 50th birthday birthday gift in 2003. Does this seem like it's going anywhere, gentlemen?
Dave Landau
Well, we all have wonderful secrets.
Tim Pool
Very wonderful.
Dave Landau
I think honestly, special secrets.
Tim Pool
Right.
Dave Landau
Bill has to take. What's he gonna say under oath? I mean he's lied under oath before about similar things.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
Except it was a legal of age husky intern. But this time who's actually aged very well.
Tim Pool
Have you seen new picture, recent pictures?
Dave Landau
She's gotten better with age.
Eliyahu
She looks, she looks great.
Dave Landau
Yeah. She's like a fine wine.
Tim Pool
Good on you, Monica Lewis.
Dave Landau
Yeah, good on her. Not on. Yeah, the opposite of when.
Tim Pool
When the on you came out, I was like, oh, we got a joke here.
Dave Landau
Yes. Yeah. All over her. She is. Yeah.
Tim Pool
But I dress.
Dave Landau
I mean if they have to actually pull out what phone records or some kind of records that he has to be honest about, there's no doubt he's on the list. The only thing that would shock anybody is if he wasn't.
Tim Pool
Right.
Dave Landau
Even his own wife would be like, wow, really? You weren't. Everyone knows he is. Right.
Tim Pool
Larry would be like, I feel bad for hitting you all those times.
Dave Landau
I know, right? Like I thought it was just the one girl. Wow. We're all amazed.
Tim Pool
But I mean I don't, I don't imagine that that Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to reveal any information that isn't already known.
Dave Landau
No. We all know he likes to have sex with people that aren't his wife. I mean but in fairness, have you seen his wife?
Tim Pool
I wouldn't want to have sex with his wife. No.
Dave Landau
No one would. I don't think men any would look at those. The big Maxwell House can.
Eliyahu
I'm doing myself any favors here, but I will say back in the day, Hillary Clinton was not the worst looking woman.
Tim Pool
You're not doing yourself.
Dave Landau
You're saying when she was Epstein island age.
Eliyahu
Back in there was this one photo of college. Yeah, yeah. Back in the day.
Tim Pool
So.
Dave Landau
Oh no, you're right. Her college photos are pretty good.
Tate Brown
She kind of.
Eliyahu
You know which one I'm talking about.
Dave Landau
I do. She's on the lawn. Right.
Eliyahu
Glasses. Can you pull that up?
Tate Brown
Pull it up, please. You're not hot Hillary Clinton, please.
Dave Landau
Come on.
Tim Pool
Disavow.
Dave Landau
Yeah, there's probably not a lot of hot Hillary Clinton. There's probably just the one. Google shouldn't show you one picture. Or it's just her in hell.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Eliyahu
I'm telling you, there was a time where she. She looks relatively good.
Tim Pool
Google hot Hillary Clinton and see what comes up.
Dave Landau
Put moderately attractive Hillary.
Eliyahu
I hate when people pretend that there are no hot liberal women. I hate that.
Dave Landau
Oh, there's hollers.
Tate Brown
I hate that.
Eliyahu
There's many.
Tate Brown
There's at least like 12.
Dave Landau
Of course, we thought Sydney.
Eliyahu
Yeah. Black and white. I. I don't recall it being black and white. No, to the right. That one. Yeah, that one.
Dave Landau
That's more.
Eliyahu
That's a little bit older, but the one to the right was.
Tate Brown
Okay, you don't have to pull the Time article.
Eliyahu
Oh, no, no, keep that.
Dave Landau
Looks like she just poisoned you in a horror movie.
Tim Pool
She looks like an extra from this.
Eliyahu
Isn'T the one with the glasses.
Dave Landau
You know, I don't like it.
Tim Pool
Belle.
Eliyahu
We're supposed to go to the island one beside this.
Tate Brown
We're gonna miss our flight.
Tim Pool
Bill. Sorry.
Dave Landau
I like women, but I can't tell people in this time to that point.
Tim Pool
I thought Bill and Monica Lewinsky thing. I thought she swore off, man. I kind of got that vibe. I don't know.
Dave Landau
I thought she swore from men before it.
Tim Pool
That's why. Yeah, okay, fair enough.
Dave Landau
You can't own that many suits and be into men.
Tim Pool
Pantsuits are. Yeah. Okay. They're like the Subaru for the ultra wealthy.
Dave Landau
They certainly are. Okay.
Eliyahu
You know, her and her staff have always had a lot of trouble with men. Huma Abedine also went through. Who was it Anthony Weiner in that.
Tim Pool
Whole affair now whom Abedin is with? Soros.
Eliyahu
Soros Jr. Alex Soros. And are probably power players, frankly in the Democrat party.
Dave Landau
And we all know obviously Anthony Weiner loves adult women. We all know that.
Eliyahu
You know, you could blame Anthony Weiner for helping to contribute to Trump's first election win because he. Something with his emails or the case was reopened into him because of some more allegations that came out against him. I need to review the exact story. But he helped give more credence and evidence or give more reason to investigate further into the email scandal. Didn't do her any favors. So.
Tim Pool
No, no, But I mean. So anyways, back to the. The Epstein stuff. I. I don't see how this. The, you know, Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to make a difference. I certainly am not going to, you know, trust anything.
Dave Landau
Bill Clinton, the hot picture. It's not working.
Tim Pool
No, that's. That's definitely not. But, but.
Dave Landau
John, Laura, Cat.
Tim Pool
But the. But if they're. They don't list who the attorneys general and FBI directors are, but that might actually produce something that's, you know, worth worth discussing, you know.
Dave Landau
Yeah. Evidently this Epstein guy had some sex trafficking going on, apparently. Who do you think is the most hilarious photo taken on Epstein island so far that has been leaked?
Tim Pool
The.
Dave Landau
Well, I mean, the Stephen Hawking, right?
Tim Pool
I haven't seen. I haven't seen the Stephen Hawking.
Dave Landau
Oh, look it up. Stephen Hawking on Epstein island is hilarious. That there's like two girls holding daiquiris. Clearly he's not drinking them. That guy can't swallow. He talks with his. It's so funny.
Tate Brown
Bring me another drink.
Dave Landau
Yeah, I'm thirsty.
Tate Brown
You look up hot Stephen Hawking.
Dave Landau
I finished with this.
Eliyahu
So back in the day.
Tim Pool
Where is it? Where is it?
Dave Landau
Yeah, there's got.
Tim Pool
Oh, there it is.
Dave Landau
There it is.
Tim Pool
There it is.
Dave Landau
He's having a time of it over.
Tim Pool
On the top left. Top left. Right there.
Dave Landau
Look at that.
Tim Pool
Yeah, he is having the time on autopilot.
Dave Landau
I mean, I don't think he went to the island. I think he was brought.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah. I mean.
Eliyahu
Yeah. Look, here's the thing, though. Back in the day, if you were anybody, you got the invite to hang out with Jeffrey Epsom, seen in this cool little billionaires club with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Stephen Hawkins.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Eliyahu
The FOMO had to be crazy Kevin.
Dave Landau
Spacey who got there and was like, there's not even any male waiters.
Tim Pool
That's why he's like, I'm going home.
Dave Landau
He just like turned this plane around, you know.
Eliyahu
I hear nothing sticking to that guy.
Tim Pool
Yeah, nothing. I'm nothing.
Eliyahu
At least under the cases.
Dave Landau
No, no, Kevin, we'll find you some hot. I love that. He's like, I want the list to come out. It's like, of course.
Tim Pool
There wasn't all underage girls there. What do you care?
Dave Landau
It's not a little boy island, Kevin. Nobody thinks you're guilty.
Tim Pool
If there was like a Disney World list, he'd be in trouble.
Dave Landau
Yeah, if. If there was a Hollywood list.
Tim Pool
Yeah, right.
Dave Landau
There's a. If there was just a Haley Joel Osmond look alike list.
Tim Pool
How many young Men taken to Disneyland after a long day on set.
Dave Landau
I have no idea if it's true, but I. There's a story of him and Liam Neeson, and there was like a. A kid on the set, and he's like, yeah, we can go back up to my room and study lines. And Kevin Spacey goes to the bathroom, and immediately Liam Neeson's like, don't go up to his room. Whatever you do, don't do it.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah. I mean, you know, you. And you know you want to like Liam Neeson, don't you? Like, yeah, kind of what you're like, man, I hope he's a good guy.
Dave Landau
I haven't got the rolling taken.
Tim Pool
He actually, the. The director overheard him saying. He's like, that's the guy.
Dave Landau
You know, he is in his 50s, but he just saved that kid. I think he could be an action star.
Tim Pool
I agree. I agree. Yeah. So I, you know, I don't. I don't think there's a whole lot more to say about the. The whole Epstein stuff, but I think he's right.
Dave Landau
If, I mean, if you were anybody. Chris Tucker we saw on the plane.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I. I don't know. I never, I never actually looked into the list, but I'm. I mean, I'm aware that there was, like, a lot of power players. And, and, you know, if you. If you were anybody, it was. It was thought of like, you want to go be around those people? Which is part of the reason why I think that there's a lot of people that don't. A lot of people in positions of power that don't want the list to come out, because back then, no one knew what Epstein was up to, or ostensibly no one knew what Epstein was up to, and they were like, well, you know, I want to go hang out with those people. And if you're in that kind of, you know, I guess if you're. If your bank account is that big, those people tend to just hang out with each other and be around each other, because that's what. That's the thing to do. So there's a lot of people that are just like, oh, I don't want this to come out because it's going to implicate me. And, and people automatically assume, oh, you were on the list or you were. Went to the island, so you automatically must have done nefarious things. And while, you know, it's not great to be in his company, especially nowadays, to look back, it's like, it, It's. It makes sense for people that if they didn't do anything to be. You know, Dershowitz is not. Is one that's like.
Dave Landau
Yes.
Tim Pool
Whether or not did.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He's me. Sorry.
Dave Landau
He's like, I'm just the lawyer for the PE.
Tim Pool
Exactly. And. And that's.
Eliyahu
Look, that's.
Tim Pool
That's Dershowitz's M.O. he's like, who's the scummiest guy? I'm going to find him and defend him. And. And I guess if you do that, you know, you're. People are going to assume things about you.
Dave Landau
Sure.
Tim Pool
So you get used to it.
Dave Landau
Yeah. Well. And he's. It's also. You're going to get flight logs. You're not going to get, like, what they liked.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
You know what I mean?
Tim Pool
It's not like you're not getting a menu.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Eliyahu
You're ratings.
Dave Landau
Yeah. You're not going to get Janet 13 with Bill Clinton broom closet at 4.
Tim Pool
It's not like Yelp reviews.
Dave Landau
Two stars. She didn't even pretended she liked it. Yeah. There's nothing you're going to get like. Yeah. So it's. No matter what comes out, it's always going to be an assumption, right?
Tim Pool
Apparently not. All right. So, I mean, I don't really have a whole lot else to add to the. The Epstein story, so why don't we move on to this next story here. New York. I'm sorry. Washington, D.C. apparently is a nightmare. Donald Trump tweeted the other day, I believe this was. I believe this was. Today, crime in Washington, D.C. is totally out of control. Local youths and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens at the same time, knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They're not afraid of law enforcement because they know. Know nothing ever happens to them. But it's going to happen now. The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these minors as adults and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, D.C. must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and importantly for the world to see. If D.C. doesn't get its act together and quickly, we will have no choice but to take federal control of the city and run this city how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago. Then this incredible young man and so many others would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent crime. If this continues, I'm going to exert my powers and federalize the city. Make America great again. And then Elon Musk retweeted Donald Trump's truth. A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in D.C. a DOGE team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her, and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but saved her life. It's time to federalize D.C. look, everyone knows that D.C. has been an endless, absolute, you know, madhouse when it comes to crime for a long time. You can go to certain areas and you're pretty safe, but that's because those places are where Congress people are frequenting, where, where staff are frequenting. But if you go just a couple blocks the wrong direction, you know, you're likely to get beaten or mugged or whatever. I don't know that federalizing is actually the proper role, but if the, if the, you know, the, the, the municipality won't handle it, maybe the federal government should step in.
Dave Landau
Yeah, you don't want Paul Pelosi get another head hammer.
Tim Pool
That happened in San Francisco, but still.
Dave Landau
Yeah, well, I mean, he goes into the wrong neighborhoods for different things. He does usually, but it's not gay sex. What, too much?
Tim Pool
No, not at all. No.
Dave Landau
I mean, I was making assumptions, of course.
Tim Pool
Of course.
Dave Landau
Yeah. I don't think the man.
Tim Pool
But there's nothing wrong with pontificating.
Dave Landau
There's no guessing that would buy a male escort off of a school bus. Yeah, this sounds horrible. I am from Detroit.
Eliyahu
Oh.
Dave Landau
Oh.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
I can't imagine these kind of crimes. This is light work in a major city. I don't know if federalizing it's a very good idea, to be honest. I also don't think prosecuting all minors as adults as first time offenders is a very good idea either, if I'm being honest.
Tim Pool
I mean, I understand what you're saying, but right now the MO Is the young kids are the ones that are sent out to do the crime because the older gang bangers know that they don't get treated like adults.
Dave Landau
If it's killing, they should extend the sentence, but I don't think that it's something that should just be, I understand, like the cusp of 17. A lot of them are doing that and then they're also bragging in court that they're not going to get in trouble for it. So I think they should extend the sentence, obviously. But I don't, I do not think that giving them no chance at all at the age of 14 is, is wise either. Okay, Just personal opinion, what do you think?
Tim Pool
A lot. You're fairly, you know, the law is the law kind of dude.
Eliyahu
So me, Serge and Tate actually witnessed these Y ends firsthand the other weekend in Washington D.C. and it's actually extremely odd. It's a group of like 20, 30, some odd, very young kids. Like you can tell in their faces, nobody's probably above the age of 17 as, as young as maybe even 13 and 14 being followed by like three or four different cop cars and they're just running around the streets throwing things. And I guess some groups may be more aggressive than others. Obviously assaulting somebody's messed up and you should go to jail as a result of that. But again, I don't know, at the age of 14 might be a little bit young to be trying to charge people as adults. And I haven't heard as many of the cases of them murdering people, but if you murder somebody, I think you should be charged as an adult for that. Crime in particular, I don't know what.
Tim Pool
The murder rate is in D.C. but I know there was a time recently in the past 10 or so years where D.C. was the murder capital of the United States.
Dave Landau
Darn tootin.
Tim Pool
Yeah. So I mean this is 190.
Dave Landau
Oh, wow, that's a lot.
Tate Brown
Yeah, well, and the problem with like crime in cities like D.C. and New York and Boston as well is the tolerance for crime is far lower because you're, it's like a very walkable city, so you're actually interacting with these points for crime will occur a lot more.
Tim Pool
Crime is lower.
Tate Brown
Yeah, yeah. So like in like if you live like Memphis or Detroit, the tolerance for crime is much higher because you can just drive past it on your way to work and back to, back to your house. You're not actually interacting with the crime criminal aspect as much. But yeah, if you're somewhere like D.C. you have to walk down the street, you have to take the subway, you have to do this, that and the other. So you're your actual sense of crime. Even though. Because left leftists always be like, well if you compare it to like Jackson, Mississippi and it's like, well yeah, but in Jackson you don't ever see it. You're just going to Kroger and back where in D.C. you're walking around, you're going to bars, you're taking the train. So you're going to interact with it a lot more. And it's much more unacceptable for high amount of Crime.
Tim Pool
I would be remiss if I didn't bring up the fact that the Second Amendment is basically non. Existent in Washington, D.C. so restoration of the rights of the American people might be a deterrent to criminals in the District, but I know that the, the members of Congress and, and the support staff around them are all, or generally not, not particularly fond of that idea.
Dave Landau
But I think that's where the Ted Nugent rule comes in. Just have the Second Amendment and don't listen to the state.
Tim Pool
I personally agree with that as well.
Dave Landau
Yeah. I think you should just be allowed to carry a firearm to protect yourself. That's. I'm not gonna say that's what I do.
Tim Pool
No.
Dave Landau
Maybe they took it from me before I got on the plane today. They didn't take my wooden one. And that's. I got. Learned that from John Malkovich. And in the line of fire, he just make a wooden one.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
And then into any stadium. All right, These are facts.
Eliyahu
So I feel like for the past, I don't know, 40, 50 years in our country, we have been seeing groups of quote, unquote, youth, which is a funny euphemism to use here. I think we all know exactly what we're talking about, but we need to.
Tim Pool
Use this stupid young people.
Eliyahu
We're talking about, like, black teens. We're talking about black teens running around usually in cities and committing different types of crimes. I think we saw in Cincinnati the other weekend where they were like, just random adults assaulted. Maybe they might have yelled at each other, but resulted in multiple different assaults. And it's interesting when we choose to pay more attention to them. And what we're gonna do about that is up to the government and we'll see. But I feel like these are always happening in the background every so often. And sometimes it's only a local news story, and then sometimes the president decides to truth social about it and make it a national news story. But these assaults are happening throughout our country all the time. And it's just interesting when we decide to make it national news instead of local.
Tim Pool
What do you think the factor is? What do you think it is that.
Eliyahu
Makes it, you know, crime, socioeconomic factors.
Tim Pool
What is the thing that makes it become a national story?
Tate Brown
Well, sometimes it's just so shocking, you can't deny.
Eliyahu
Well, the media. Yeah, that's who it is. That's what decides literally only the media. And, like, if the races were portrayed in the right way, for most of the media to decide to pick it up and, like, put it up the chain of Command, then that's what goes. And it's a national news story because the president decided to talk about it now. And it's gonna go as far as you.
Tim Pool
This one. Yeah. But when it comes to the one that you mentioned in Cincinnati, that was trying to be.
Eliyahu
It became a national story.
Tim Pool
That was, that was. That was actually. It was a fairly grassroots kind of thing because the, the media and the, The. The municipality was trying to suppress the story. They didn't want it to get out. They didn't want to talk.
Dave Landau
White guy, though, knock out the woman.
Tim Pool
I don't know.
Dave Landau
I believe a white guy did knock out the woman, but then black people were piling on and kicking the guy at the jacket.
Tate Brown
I think he shoved her. Yeah.
Dave Landau
Yeah. But then black people were also pulling people off of, you know, the guy. Like, it was a group thing where a lot of people were involved. So depending on what site you were watching, it was white versus black. But then there was the reality of a lot of people were trying to help and a lot of people weren't.
Eliyahu
Wasn't it allegedly because somebody called another person the Ensler, supposedly.
Dave Landau
But I don't even know if that's what it was.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I, I've heard. I, I've heard that people. I've heard people make that argument, but I believe if you watch the video, the attack had initiated and then the dreaded end slur was. Was uttered.
Eliyahu
Not that name calling should justify violence.
Tim Pool
Absolutely not. I, I think that's the. That's the most ridic. Ridiculous argument that people make is, oh, well, you know, they had it coming. Or, or the. The idea that, like, oh, well, you know, there are consequences for. For things you say. I mean, sure, but. But jail is a consequence for that kind of.
Eliyahu
You know, I get told that often.
Dave Landau
If you're in a heated argument with someone, it's best probably not to use it at a jazz festival. I've always said that if you're at a Wu Tang concert, let's say, and someone's angry at you, perhaps you don't yell that at them. Yeah, there will be a concert.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
And I'm not saying that you can argue that it's right or wrong and that someone's not allowed, but you will get your. Your ass kicked, for lack of a better term. And I'm not saying that what. What happened to her was horrible. What happened to that guy was horrible. But to just go, okay, it was entire. That to be the division. That's my problem with it all. They want them to go okay. It was black versus white. That's not the case. It was different people going at each other, and other people were helping other people.
Eliyahu
Well, you recognize that this story likely only got so much gasoline into it because of the racial projection onto the story.
Dave Landau
Absolutely.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tate Brown
But also, like, with. I mean, with this DC Story specifically, it's like, I hate to be that guy. But if the roles were reversed, if there was a mob of 50 white teens and they beat up a black guy, I mean, we'd be in camps right now.
Tim Pool
Like, it would be over. That just doesn't happen.
Tate Brown
Exactly. So it's like, no.
Dave Landau
No matter how hard I train them.
Eliyahu
Also, this was. Did we mention it's because it happened to an alleged Doge employee and I don't know. Big Balls Tate.
Dave Landau
Is that him?
Eliyahu
Tell me more about this guy, Big Balls.
Tim Pool
That's alleged to be. I don't. I don't think we're going to share the picture because we. We don't have confirmation of who it is.
Dave Landau
Oh, I got you.
Eliyahu
But it's from the rapid response.
Tim Pool
Well, I mean, all right, there's other people.
Tate Brown
Allegedly. It's Big Balls. He's a big player.
Tim Pool
If you want to look. If you want to, I mean, just go to X and. And look for the story, and there's plenty of pictures, and there's. There's comparisons of who Big Balls. You know, what Big Balls looked like when he was. You know. Yeah. Be careful going on action, typing in Big Balls.
Dave Landau
But I'm pretty sure you'll find. Yeah, let's go to Google and type in Big balls.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Or Lemon party. Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that.
Dave Landau
Go to X. Hamster.
Eliyahu
Bloodied.
Dave Landau
Big Balls. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's hurt. So.
Tate Brown
Black teens rough up big balls.
Dave Landau
Black and blue Big balls.
Tim Pool
Black teens are rough up big balls with. You shouldn't Google any of these things.
Dave Landau
No.
Tate Brown
Do it on your work computer.
Dave Landau
Yeah, for sure. Just put black Big Balls on your work.
Tate Brown
Angry, violent black people attack Big.
Dave Landau
Do it during a presentation. Full volume.
Tim Pool
Perfect. This sounds great. This will do wonderful things.
Tate Brown
Love the news.
Tim Pool
All right, so I'm not even sure how we got to this from. We were talking about. Oh, we were talking about the. The. The attack truth. So we need to talk about. We're going to go ahead and move. Change to this story from the Post. Millennial Texas AG Ken Paxton to ask judge to vacate seats of Dem lawmakers who fled state over redistricting vote. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will seek judicial Orders to remove Texas state legislators who have fled the state in to block a congressional redistricting vote taking place in the state legislature. The lawmakers have until August 8th to return to the state and to perform their duties in the legislature. Before Paxton requests the order. Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced that the continued refusal to perform legislative duties by Texas House Democrats who broke quorum constitutes abandonment of office and that he will pursue a court ruling ensuring that their seats are declared vacant. Speaker of the House Dustin Burroughs has given members until Friday, August 8th to return to Texas and present themselves before the House. Any lawmaker who has not been arrested and returned or fails to appear by the Speaker's deadline will be subject to aggressive legal action by Attorney General Paxton, a news release from Paxton office says. So I learned that apparently this is actually felonious. So these are. These are felony. They could face felony charges for. For vacating and preventing the continuation of official business.
Eliyahu
Is that true? I read that there was just a.
Dave Landau
Fine felon, so they could end up in with some teens.
Tim Pool
Hopefully not.
Eliyahu
I don't suspect that's what's going to happen. But I think the crux of the issue here is whether or not gerrymandering is kosher. Dave. Gerrymandering cool or not, it's the.
Tim Pool
It's. It's the norm since the fourth president of the United States.
Dave Landau
I'm going to say that they should. Yeah, I think they should have to come back and face it.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, they. They should have to come back and actually do their jobs.
Dave Landau
I agree.
Tim Pool
The question as to whether or not, you know, gerrymandering is acceptable, this is just the state of affairs today. And it's been that way since James Madison.
Dave Landau
Right.
Tim Pool
His vice president was Vice President Gerry, and the name gerrymandering comes from that. So whether or not it's okay, I don't know. I think that that's kind of.
Tate Brown
It doesn't even matter.
Eliyahu
No, it does matter, and I'll tell you why. It's because not all of the states are fully gerrymandered. And Democrats have actually, like, put different guardrails in place to not allow them to gerrymander certain states. So, Tate, I know you're from New York, but you might not know much about the politics there. But, but in New York, right, the Democrats did want to gerrymander, but their maps got tossed out by the courts there because they had certain laws that didn't allow them to gerrymander to the nth degree. Eventually, gerrymandering's bad for Our country. The big brain solution here is obviously having somebody non biased and impartial on top kind of ruling top down, trying to make as many fair districts and rub the least amount of people the wrong way. But I don't know if we just see this, both sides are just gonna try to gerrymander their districts more and more aggressively. Both sides are obviously guilty of this. So I don't know really where that's gonna leave us. The Democrats here are just trying their best to prevent it. This is a band aid solution for them. These Texas Democrats aren't gonna be able to achieve actually preventing the Republicans from gerrymandering Texas. It's only a matter of time.
Dave Landau
So Right.
Tate Brown
Even with these commissions like you're talking about are like in California they can just special election around it if they really want to. So it's like, like okay, it's nice that it's put into place, but if push really came to shove, New York, California, they'll just circumvent it.
Tim Pool
And honestly, if you were to say, okay, gerrymandering is illegal, what's the solution? How do you break up the districts then?
Eliyahu
There are different people with different theories on how to do this without having squiggly lines that go in circles. I don't think that's the problem. I think it's the political will to do so, which neither side is going to see. And it's escalating.
Tim Pool
Right.
Eliyahu
One side's doing it, then the other side's gonna want to do it more and then they're going to both point fingers at.
Tim Pool
Well, part of the reason that the Democrats are having such a problem with this is because the Democrats have kind of like squeezed all the juice.
Eliyahu
Right.
Tim Pool
Like there's not a whole lot more they can do.
Eliyahu
There's juice.
Tim Pool
There are multiple.
Dave Landau
Yes, there is.
Tim Pool
How many, how many many Jews?
Eliyahu
A ton.
Tim Pool
How many second largest Jews population. We're not talking about Jews, we're talking.
Eliyahu
About outside of Israel.
Tim Pool
Oh, we're talking about. They've gotten all of the, the, the. Oh. Made all of the gerrymandering. They can, they can do. You're not going to get.
Eliyahu
I thought they squeeze.
Dave Landau
There's a lot of Jews there though, though. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Eliyahu
Squeezing more.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I love Jews.
Tim Pool
So like some state like, you know, Massachusetts, there's something like 45, 40% of the state is, is conservative and there's zero representatives, there's zero represent representation for the conservatives. And that, that, that's a situation in the same, same situation in Illinois, there's like, you know, 40% of the state is Republican and there's no representation at all.
Tate Brown
It's 14 to three and it's a six point spot spread in Illinois.
Dave Landau
But if you have each state, blue or red, taking legal action on each one, wouldn't that just affect the other state to want to do it more?
Tim Pool
But I mean, that's escalation.
Dave Landau
I think that's what happened.
Tim Pool
That was. Well, that was the point that I was making. The reason that the Democrats have a problem is because there's not much more they can do.
Dave Landau
Right.
Tim Pool
They don't have the ability to actually gerrymander and get more representation out of most states. There's no, there's nothing left they can do. They've really maximized the jurymandering that's possible. So the reason that they have such a problem with this is because they don't have the ability just to just fight back and say, well, gerrymander and etc. There's talk of it in New York, there's talk of it in California, but there isn't a lot that that's actually possible for them to do. They can do a little bit around the edges, but they're not going to get the same kind of effects that the Republicans could get because the Democrats have been so successful at gerrymandering nationwide. So it's like, sure, there are places where they can get some, but the Republicans actually stand to benefit the most by doing, doing things like we just redistricting halfway through the, you know, the, the time, the time limit. They normally do it because it's normally done after every census. So it's normally done Every, after every 10 years. This is halfway through. There is an argument. We had a guest on last night that was talking about this. There is an argument that it's a good thing to do because of all the demographic changes, because of one, the, all of the illegal immigrants that have come in, but also because of all the people that have moved from California to other states to Texas to Florida and stuff. So Texas is doing it. A big part of the reason is because of the illegal immigration and because in Texas, yes, it's been known to happen. Right.
Dave Landau
I live there. I've not seen it, but go on.
Tim Pool
Okay. But yeah, so that's the, the argument that they're making is, you know, this is why it's, it's a legitimate.
Dave Landau
Sure. No, I get that.
Tim Pool
So.
Eliyahu
And the way they gerrymandered the new seats in Texas was such that all the Districts were now roughly trapped. Trump 60, a district where Trump won 60% of the vote. So, like some Congress people would usually disagree with gerrymandering because they don't want their districts fudged with where they run and they don't wanna be diluted. But that's how they kind of appease the Texas Republicans. I suspect Democrats will do something. Call me a genius, I don't know, but I suspect Democrats down the line will try to do something similar to this that Republicans may not like. But this is power politics. And, you know, I think we're seeing more, quote, unquote, norms being broken. Trump's a big norm break. There are other political power plays that people could do, like packing the Supreme Court. Trump doesn't need to. The Democrats had a few other plays like this. Gerrymandering is another example. But we're gonna see more norms being broken where that takes us. We'll see.
Tim Pool
I mean, I agree with you. I think that, yeah, there's not a.
Dave Landau
Lot of room for Dems to go legally, but that's the problem is how hard we want them to push back eventually. I don't know. That's a very good. It's a very.
Eliyahu
They're gonna say, oh, Trump changed the districts ahead of census, where. And, you know, and that's how he. Well, he's doing this to defend his majority, too. He doesn't wanna be in the minority for the second half of his presidential term. He would definitely be impeached because of who gives a crap something. And then all the investigations he's doing now would get investigated. So, you know, that would be his biggest nightmare. So he's really trying to just guarantee this majority. Trump's been, it seems, insecure about his majority almost the entire time. He.
Dave Landau
Especially recently.
Eliyahu
Yeah, there was Elise Stefanik, who he initially wanted to elevate UN ambassador, but he was like, no, stay in your seat. He wanted Mike Lawler to stay in his seat and not try to run for governor. So there's a few examples of this. I think there's a very slim majority. I think it's two or three seats, something like that. So something to keep your eye on. Because Trump is clearly worried about this as well.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, I think that it's legitimate because if the, the, like you said, if, if the Democrats take the House, there will be impeachment. There will be. Of course nothing's going to happen. It'll be just, you know, doing everything they can to stymie any kind of progress for the American people.
Dave Landau
Well, and I think that's the benefit, not even go back to the Epstein thing, but of doing that stuff because there has to be something that switches that because that's kind of their ticket into an impeachment.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah. I mean, look, I'm, I, I'm, I'm a naked partisan. So like, anything that they can do to, to throw sand in the gears of whatever the Democrats are going to try, I'm for sure. Because if, if they don't, then the Democrats are going to do whatever they can to throw, not just, you know, not, not only impeach Donald Trump, even though I, I don't imagine that'll get removed from office because I don't think they'll take the Senate, but they'll try and they would try to take him out of office. And then should they, they get the presidency again, I imagine all of the, the bureaucracies will get filled up with Democrat sycophants again. And they'll, they'll come after people in the, you know, in the right wing podcast fear, they'll go after people like Joe Rogan, they'll go after people like Tim Poole. They'll go after people that, that have Benny Johnson and, and anyone that they consider a political enemy, they will absolutely target and go after because that was the plan when Kamala Harris, if Kamala Harris would have won.
Dave Landau
Well, just like before, it's why they're saying Stephen Colbert is the enemy or like supposedly people are the enemy of him when that's really not the truth.
Tim Pool
No, Stephen Colbert's, you know, his, his, his viewership is why he lost his job.
Dave Landau
And his viewership was a result of, I think, CBS pushing him to do something. I mean, it is his own. I mean, you have to, you know, blame somebody for what it is. But CBS I do also blame because they're the ones that pushed all that crap on him. And then they're the ones that are going like, oh, your numbers are down. It's like, well, you kind of forced it. Yeah. I mean, your whole company did this, but they all did that woke stuff.
Tim Pool
Yeah. I don't think you're wrong. But again, just like you said at the end, it was not just Colbert, it was all of them.
Dave Landau
And also Disney blaming the Snow White girl for being Latina. Like, why are you Latina? Because you did it. Yeah, it's you guys that did it, not her.
Tim Pool
The, the only thing that I would add to that is they, they did it at a time when people were moving away from cable TV anyways.
Dave Landau
Right.
Tim Pool
So it just sped up what was already happening, happening, so.
Dave Landau
Oh, sure.
Tim Pool
All right, so let's jump to this story. This is breaking news from. I guess from. From Fox News from the Ingram Angle. We'll go ahead and we'll play the.
Dave Landau
Bill is his primary resin.
Tim Pool
Easy there. Ready to go. Okay.
Tate Brown
And an Ingram Angle exclusive. A Trump administration source telling the Angle that a criminal Investigation of Adam Sh. Schiff is underway, conducted by U.S. attorney's office in Maryland for possible charges involving mortgage fraud. Now, this follows the story we broke last month when the Federal Housing Finance Agency sent a criminal referral to the doj, alleging that Schiff, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms. And a 2011 affidavit signed by the then California Congress, he certified that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland is his primary residence.
Dave Landau
He also owns a condo in Burbank.
Tate Brown
California, which he's also claimed.
Dave Landau
Sorry, is his primary. He always looks like he's swallowing at a glory hole, doesn't he? Just finished it. Just about every member of Congress has.
Tim Pool
A resident and a neighbor.
Tate Brown
Manglick.
Tim Pool
So this is essentially the same thing that they accused Donald Trump of, right?
Dave Landau
Yes.
Tim Pool
Yeah. They said that he committed mortgage fraud. Fraud, which even though in Donald Trump's case, like, the banks were like, nah, this is good. Like, we made money. This was. This was fine. But the. Oh, no, actually, no, this is. This is different because Donald Trump was. Was accused of lying about the value of the. Of his apartment of mar. The apartment.
Dave Landau
Apartment in New York as well. Am I wrong about that?
Tim Pool
I don't know. So. So I don't know. I'd have to look into that. But this is the same thing that, that Letitia James has done or whatever. So she has. She claimed that she was a resident of one place and, you know, for tax reasons or whatever. Now Schiff was claiming that he was a resident of California while he was spending all of his time in Maryland. And now his argument is, well, you know, I work in D.C. so I have to do this. This. But if you work in D.C. i'm not sure the mortgage, how, how it makes a more. What. How it makes mortgage fraud. So.
Dave Landau
Well, if he. So he works in D.C. and lives somewhere else.
Tim Pool
Oh, you have to live in California to be a, to be a senator from California. You actually have to reside there, so you have to spend, you know, X amount of time there.
Tate Brown
Well, that's what happened to Leticia James because she had a house in Virginia and she made it her primary Residence, but she's AG of New York. It's kind of a problem.
Dave Landau
Yeah. And so yeah, you have to have your primary residence.
Tim Pool
I mean his primary residence has to be in California.
Dave Landau
Right.
Tim Pool
Because of, because he.
Dave Landau
But you could have an office write off in D.C.
Tim Pool
Yes, but I'm not sure, I'm not sure the exact details of, of this particular issue.
Eliyahu
Look, I'm no, I'm no shift fan, but doesn't this seem like a little bit flimsy? Like can we get the real goods on this guy? Like for participation in the Russian collusion hoax for years. But no, we him on what? Mortgage fraud. I just suspect this isn't going anywhere. I feel like we're. Yeah. And this just feels like some red meat. Like this isn't going anywhere. Mortgage fraud. Really? Give me the juice. Give me something meaty. But no, we're getting some mortgage fraud. What do you think the concept, even if they convict him, which I doubt they will, what are the real consequences of this gonna be? Nothing. I think this was just a juicy story to be leaked to Laura Ingraham from somebody in the administration doing somebody favors and it almost seems like they're trying too hard to go after him and they don't have the goods. Go after him and get the goods. But no, you're coming to me with mortgage fraud. What about his part? All the Russia hoax BS that he was spewing for years that helped contribute to the Steele dossier that eventually helped wrap Trump up in this crazy media narrative, but no mortgage fraud. So it's like I'm not a lawyer here, I'm not a judge, okay. So worked in law. But I don't suspect this is going.
Tim Pool
To go very far. So the, the argument Senator sent from Fox News Senator Adam Schiff is under criminal investigation for mortgage fraud, a Trump administration told source told Fox News. Fox News host Laura Ingram broke the news on Tuesday night on the Ingram Angle, saying that the source at a criminal investigation is being conducted by the U.S. attorney's office in Maryland on possible charges involving mortgage fraud. The investigation comes a month after a story broke about the Federal Housing Finance Agen Agency sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice alleging that Schiff in multiple instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms. In a 2011 affidavit, affidavit signed by then California Congressman Schiff certified that a property in Montgomery, California, Maine, Maryland is his primary residence. Schiff also owns a condominium in Burbank, California which he has also claimed as his primary residence as recently as 2023 during his campaign for Sen. Shift's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. So.
Dave Landau
And also a bar in the meatpacking district called the Blue Oyster. Every Saturday he does his job as a urinal. I think as far as mortgage.
Tim Pool
How many people know what the Blue Oyster bar is? Police academy. Yeah.
Dave Landau
I think as far as mortgages go and the wonderful job that they've always done with the housings at three times what it's worth and the 12% interest rate rates, does it matter? I mean, is this really what the American people should be concerned about? When you look at the way that we've been screwed so many times?
Tim Pool
I mean, look, I'm a, I'm a naked partisan. Anything that put this guy in, in anything given problems, I'm down with.
Dave Landau
I am too. I get giving him problems about this. The problem is, is it's just what Zillow does, it would seem at this point. It's not like I think you have to get something that sticks. And I just don't see this as something that sticks because it's, it's a write off that you could then go at any conservative for, I believe.
Tim Pool
Well, if he's, if he's, it depends if he's claiming, if he's claimed that it was his primary residence in Maryland, then he's not eligible. Eligible to be a senator from California.
Dave Landau
I get that. I'm worried about Congressman Domino. Yeah.
Tim Pool
I mean, I, I don't know. It's possible that there are other people that have done this. Sure. But unless there's evidence of other people doing this, I personally am not worried about. Oh. What could happen to other people. Again, again, he's made claims that he is, his primary residence is in Maryland. He's ineligible to be in Congress or in the Senate for. As a representative of California. So possibly they strip him of his, of his, you know, of his, his position.
Eliyahu
Yeah. But I actually don't foresee that happening.
Dave Landau
He likes to be stripped.
Eliyahu
There's zero chance of that actually happening at this issue.
Tim Pool
You don't foresee anything happening, though. You're, you're, you're nothing.
Eliyahu
Straight up. They're not going to take him out of the Senate because of this. Just. And it's a pipe dream. And I think it's like, it's just a straight up distraction to say otherwise. Like nothing's going to happen to Peter because of this. He might even become more popular among Democrats because it looks like It's a partisan attack against him.
Tim Pool
I mean you could. Anything.
Eliyahu
That's what I think.
Tim Pool
Anything is going to be considered a partisan attack though.
Eliyahu
Not anything. If they had the goods, then no.
Tim Pool
I totally disagree with you. If when it comes to partisans, which I am like partisans are going to say nope, whatever he did is fine because he's on our, our team. That's just the way that the politics works. Now.
Tate Brown
I agree with that. But I do also agree that this is kind of a nothing burger mortgage. You're not going to depose anyone from a Senate seat over this. You need something meaty.
Tim Pool
I would love to see it be great.
Dave Landau
Catch him with something meaty.
Tate Brown
I mean like think what George Santos got tried with. And that's. But that's meaty.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Well, no, Santos isn't in. Santos is in jail right now.
Tate Brown
Now. But he was in office for a while.
Tim Pool
The Republicans themselves kicked him him out.
Tate Brown
Yeah. And it took a while and now.
Eliyahu
A couple of them are asking them to Trump to pardon him. Just mtg free.
Tim Pool
Yeah. They should party.
Eliyahu
Are we free George?
Tate Brown
Guys, I'm a free George.
Eliyahu
I don't know.
Tim Pool
They should have never.
Dave Landau
In brotherhood.
Tim Pool
They should have never taken him out of office.
Dave Landau
What happened?
Tim Pool
That's, that's not happening.
Dave Landau
Oh, you bet it is.
Tim Pool
Oh no.
Dave Landau
A little cream pie from the nation of Muslim.
Tim Pool
Nice.
Dave Landau
Sorry. The Islam. Islam.
Eliyahu
He's not, he's too glam to do well in jail.
Tim Pool
Okay.
Dave Landau
No, no, no. That's why. The fact that he's not is why they don't mind. Then again, they don't eat pork. Sorry, I can't. Oh man, I just can't with these people.
Tim Pool
I mean, I don't blame you at all.
Dave Landau
Adam Schiff is a very limber fella here.
Tim Pool
I, I mean, maybe.
Dave Landau
Yeah. I mean look at him.
Tate Brown
I do like how he, he effectively bullied like when they, when the Kamala ran for president, they, they put a black woman like a lesbian black woman in that Senate seat and then shift. Just like bullied her out of that cake.
Dave Landau
Oh yeah.
Tate Brown
He was already running. He's like, sorry, check all the boxes.
Dave Landau
He's like the grown Campbell soup kid. The goofiest looking person. I, I just, I kind of like him there because he's so non threatening. Like there's no way anyone takes him seriously.
Tim Pool
Well, I mean I, I agree with, I agree with your estimate estimation of him as a person, but he does get the vote and you know he's always going to vote weird. It's crazy. He's Going to vote with the Democrats. You know, he's a power player.
Eliyahu
I think, like, he worked his way up through the House to the Senate right now.
Tim Pool
And it was love because it was.
Eliyahu
All, well, it's because he's anti Trump and the Russia collusion stuff that he put out, like, people Democrats in California would argue, like, yeah, he took down Trump, man, this shift guy with the Russia spin. So that's what they'd give him credit for. And, hey, right, you know, so I don't think he's going to get kicked out of the Senate for this.
Tim Pool
No.
Eliyahu
I mean, I don't think Democrats are going to give a crap either.
Tim Pool
I don't think that, I don't think that there's a high chance of it, but I do think that it's good that they're going to, you know, put the screws to him. There's nothing wrong with doing.
Tate Brown
Yeah, I mean, I'd love to, like, get these guys for parking tickets every day.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Like, so, I mean, again, if you're, if you're like, oh, not going to get results, so they shouldn't, they shouldn't, you know, they shouldn't put the screws to them.
Dave Landau
That's, you send your best meter mate at that, man. Like, you're not wrong at all.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
Like, that's the thing is you're both accurate in this. It's just, I, I, yeah, I just think it won't stick.
Tim Pool
No, I, I, I tend to agree with that. They're not going to, to be able to make anything stick, I don't think. But I do think that they should do everything they can to make his life different. Difficult.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Because he did that to Republicans for, you know, for however long he's been in, or however long he was in the House, in Congress, you know, he was doing that, and he's going to continue doing that. So make him, make him. The process can be the, the punishment.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And again, the, all of the stuff that a lot mentioned about, the Russiagate stuff, I, there's still ongoing investigations for that. So if there's any way they can put the screws to him for that as well, I'm, I'm all for it. So, like I said, I'm a naked partisan, so anything they can do to make his life more difficult, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be supported. So, so we're going to move on to, let's see, to this story. What is it? The Jim Acosta interviews. An AI version of a teenager killed in the Parkland Shooting this was just a beautiful thing. It's actually disgusting.
Dave Landau
Was this a real kid? That was.
Tim Pool
Yeah, that's real fake kid.
Dave Landau
Real fake kid.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Yeah.
Dave Landau
Is he okay?
Eliyahu
Nice kid that they reanimated to life with, like, low quality AI is why I hate AI. I'm always telling people this technology is the worst.
Dave Landau
I hate it too.
Eliyahu
Yeah. Total garbage. And now what are we doing it for? It's like, yeah, guys, we're living in the future now. We could, like, have videos of dead people, like, having their mouths move and, like, have them regurgitate my political beliefs back to me.
Dave Landau
Right.
Eliyahu
It's like he's interviewing himself. Himself and.
Dave Landau
Right. Do you know.
Tim Pool
Anyways, kid felt this way.
Dave Landau
No, no, no. He's been dead a long time.
Eliyahu
Well, he was killed by. So he has to be.
Tim Pool
Let's. Let's get into.
Eliyahu
Let's get into. That's. That's.
Dave Landau
Allow us to agree with me.
Tim Pool
Hold on. Like, let's get into this here. Variety reports. Jim Acosta, the former CNN chief White House correspondent who now hosts an independent show on YouTube, has published an interview with an AI generated avatar of Joaquin Oliver, who died at age 17 in the Parkland school shooting in 2008. 18. The interactive AI was created by Oliver's parents, who granted Acosta the first interview with the recreated version of their son on what would have been his 25th birthday. Oliver was one of the 17 people killed in the mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneham Douglas High School. Acosta asked Oliver about his solution for gun violence, to which the avatar responded, I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement. We need to create a safe space for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard. It's about building a culture of kindness and understanding. It is incredibly creepy. Do we have the actual video of the. Of them?
Tate Brown
I hope not.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, we.
Eliyahu
It was on Twitter and we should.
Tim Pool
We should show it. It was.
Eliyahu
It's like low quality.
Tim Pool
Let's see. Oh, this is actually a costume show.
Eliyahu
You're going to have to click through.
Tim Pool
Yeah. All right.
Eliyahu
Welcome to the gym.
Tim Pool
It's right in the beginning here, but.
Eliyahu
It is another day for several years now.
Tim Pool
I consider him to be a good.
Eliyahu
Friend, so of course I took him up on the.
Tim Pool
So we can create a safer future for everyone. What would you like to know more about Joaquin?
Tate Brown
I would like.
Tim Pool
Okay, right. If you want to share anything or have questions, I'm all ears. Just let me know.
Eliyahu
Joaquin, it's Jim Acosta.
Tim Pool
I was wondering if you could tell me what happened to you. I appreciate your curiosity. I was taken on this world too soon due to gun violence while at school. It's important to talk about these issues so we can create a safer future for everyone. What would you like to know more about Joaquin? Like that's literally like. Would you like to know more from Starship Troopers?
Dave Landau
Stephen Hawking? Dude, it was better when Brando landed in the original Superman.
Eliyahu
I would like to know what your.
Tim Pool
Solution would be for gun violence. Great question. I believe in a mix. Gun control laws, mental health support, community engagement. We need to create safe spaces for conversations and connections. Making sure everyone feels seen and heard.
Eliyahu
It's about so morbid and gross.
Dave Landau
It really is. Seen her, dude. What?
Eliyahu
I think that's a great idea.
Tate Brown
Waken.
Tim Pool
We definitely need more of that. I'm so glad you think so.
Dave Landau
Is he also AI or is that his personality?
Tim Pool
That's just Jim Agasta.
Eliyahu
17 year old is not this well spoken.
Tim Pool
Anything else on your mind?
Dave Landau
Sad to do this.
Tim Pool
I would like to know more about you. Just the prompts are so creepy. And now he goes on to. Would you like to talk about sports? I'm all about love, laughter and living.
Dave Landau
Life to the fullest.
Tim Pool
I cherish my family and friends and always try.
Eliyahu
AI version one.
Tim Pool
Exactly. And advocate for change. I just imagine. I can't imagine I would need. And it goes on like a father.
Dave Landau
I would never. I'm sorry.
Tate Brown
Oh yeah.
Dave Landau
That's so sad.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it's disgusting.
Dave Landau
I lost plenty of my friends when they were teens and I just can't imagine doing this. I'm sorry.
Tim Pool
It's, it's, it's. It's gross. Gross. But like it goes on where he's asking him about sports and he's talking about like things that he likes.
Dave Landau
Like really?
Tim Pool
The kid died in 20. Was 2017 is when. Yeah, it's, it's.
Dave Landau
It looks like Rosie O'. Donnell.
Tim Pool
It's so incredibly gross. And you're right. If you. If you look at Acosta, you can see these roots are showing too. He's got a little gray going on on there.
Eliyahu
And I will say I don't blame the parents as much. The parents are obviously going through it and they're thinking what could I have done differently possibly to have saved my child? And I'm. I'm not a father. I hope one day to be. And I'm sure if I ever lost my child, I'd be constantly reliving that and thinking what I could have done differently to. To Change that. But Jim Acosta, what a piece of absolute fucking garbage. And he's really just manipulating the parents and using them to try to advance his position. Specific politics. And it's so gross because, you know, the right could do this too, but they choose not to. They could, you know, have some parents who say, oh, maybe they could have used some more security guards there or had more police there, or had police who actually decided to go in to the school because at the Parkland School shooting, they didn't have the police actually go inside when the shooting was happening. So just so nakedly gross to use literally dead children to try to advance your political agenda.
Tate Brown
Digital taxidermy. It's the horrifying thing.
Dave Landau
Well, the two went in for Uvalde, but. But they were complete.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So, I mean, Uvaldi. Uvaldi was.
Dave Landau
Was very sad.
Tim Pool
Special discussion.
Dave Landau
Very sad. Yeah.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Tate Brown
When you saw, like, the. The body cam from, like, Nashville where they just ran right in, right away.
Dave Landau
Yeah. And they took.
Tim Pool
They.
Dave Landau
They did their job, so. Same as the guy who borrowed the gun from the barber shop or. What was it? Yeah, Uvalde. It was military.
Tim Pool
Yeah. So the. The overall reaction is actually nonpartisan most of the time. Time you expect people to kind of, you know, pick their side and. And, okay, I'll defend Acosta because I'm politically aligned with him, but even over on Blue sky, the response was absolutely excoriating him, you know. Hey, Jim, quick question. What the F is wrong with you? What I want to know is what the F is wrong with the parents? Grief makes you do crazy things. It cost. Has no excuse, though, and it goes on. That's not him. This is not his true self. That's a computer generating answers. Jim, you ever think about turning in? Turning into MDF might be more useful. Career pivot, usually. I usually don't comment on stuff like this, but this is beyond effed up and gross. You're a monster. This isn't an interview. This is the AI version of Weekend at Bernie's, and they did a better job and animating a dead guy. And this is Blue skin guy, right? This is not.
Tate Brown
Blue sky turns on a leptard, it's over.
Tim Pool
Exactly. This is not X. I mean, X. You expect Jim Acosta to get excoriated, but it goes on and on and on. Thanks. I hate it. This is disgusting. There's no reason at all do this. This is journalistic malpractice.
Dave Landau
We're also looking at people that consider themselves artists and they don't want AI to begin with. And now you're los. You're using it in the most egregious, disgusting way imaginable.
Tim Pool
It is the most.
Dave Landau
I think the right and left can come together and go, that's wrong on every level. Yeah. And like you said, I don't blame the parents. Grief is a horrible thing, but that's the worst thing you can do with it. I would. I would say.
Tim Pool
I think that that's pretty accurate, especially when you're.
Dave Landau
You're interviewing yourself and then you're going, but it's a dead kid, too.
Tim Pool
It's. I mean, I don't think that there's. There's. I don't think anyone actually has had a positive review of this or positive response to. To this. I don't know how Jim Acosta thought this was a good idea. I mean, he said himself, but he was, you know, here he is advertising a show you don't want to miss. At 4pm I'll be having one of a kind. One of a kind interview with Joaquin Oliver. He died in the Parkland school shooting in 2018. But his parents have created an AI version of their son to deliver a powerful message on gun violence. Then where was the actual powerful message on gun violence? Because that was the most boilerplate plate. Yeah. You know, boring. Exactly. It's the most garbage kind of thing that you could possibly imagine.
Dave Landau
I love the mental health thing, where it's the. It's like, we do have a massive mental health problem in this country. We also have a dopamine problem. We're addicted to our phones. We have companies that want us addicted to our phone so people stop feeling anything and that. There's so many things you can get into, but an AI robot is the last thing you want to have tell you that.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
And also, I love. During COVID you had a bunch of books behind you every time somebody was doing an interview. And in this, it's just his books.
Tim Pool
I don't know.
Dave Landau
I just noticed that nothing says narcissism.
Tate Brown
Like, sell any of them. They got to put them back.
Dave Landau
No, they're like. He's like, I think I just had a lot of returns today.
Eliyahu
I think, too, if you just ask Chat GPT the questions Acosta asked, you'd get something totally different. So they had to have coded this, like, give me the most run of the mill live lib answers. Like, that's what they coded this person to be reanimated as. So this guy was killed horrifically and reanimated literally as a lib.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Eliyahu
I Mean, it's an empty shell as a symbol of liberal light.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I just.
Eliyahu
I can't imagine that's a prompt.
Tim Pool
I can't imagine that they had a data set that could accurately, you know, be used as an AI to reflect what this kid was like. No.
Dave Landau
And they couldn't have had actually a bunch of data that went together from all the shootings where it was like, well, you know, I think S. SRI are a problem. So you don't want to get a sweet at the Mandalay Bay. He would have just stopped it. So it's not like there's a bunch of stuff they were covering to have an actual answer. Like you said, it's just boilerplate, run of the mill. It's. It's irresponsible.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I. I do think the. The. That it is irresponsible. And I think he's getting the. The result that he deserves. The. The criticism that he deserves. I don't see how he does.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Eliyahu
You know what? Maybe. Maybe, you know, we don't have a lot of answers from the Las Vegas shooting. Maybe we could try to reanimate Stephen Patek, Stephen Paddock, and have an interview with him, like.
Dave Landau
Yeah, it'd be funny if he just. It's like, I don't know. I didn't like the hotel.
Eliyahu
I lost a lot of money, I think. Isn't that the current line? Like, I lost a lot of money gambling with my. My Asian wife. Wouldn't swap my towels.
Tim Pool
I honestly think that the FBI wouldn't allow that personally.
Dave Landau
Probably wouldn't.
Tim Pool
I don't think the FBI is going to allow that at all.
Dave Landau
It would just be. Yeah. Like, why. Just. Why'd you bring them in, though, at check in? I don't know. You know, I had a feeling it wouldn't go well. I lose every time.
Tim Pool
They just keep letting me back in. So someone had to pay for it.
Dave Landau
You'd be surprised. But I. You only packed one shirt. You had six suitcases with weapons.
Eliyahu
He had so many guns up there.
Tim Pool
Crazy.
Dave Landau
Like, even if I was in line, I'd be like, excuse me. It's a lot of gun bags going to the. Are those guitars? No, no, no. I have plans.
Tim Pool
The. The rate of fire.
Dave Landau
Yes.
Tim Pool
Doesn't add up.
Dave Landau
I've got the highest floor. I mean, it's very sad, but if I don't make light of it. But it's just. It's absurd.
Tim Pool
How. How long ago did it happen?
Dave Landau
I mean, 2017, a while ago. I mean, not that long ago.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, it's over five years, so I think it's safe to.
Dave Landau
Yeah. I mean, it was pre Covid.
Tim Pool
It was, yeah.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Eliyahu
Even Parkland, though, was, I think, seven or eight years ago at this point.
Tim Pool
Parkland was 20.
Dave Landau
Yeah. It was enough to make David Hogg famous. And now people are like, all right, enough.
Eliyahu
Reason that he became the most famous one because there was, like, a whole crew of them. I remember there was, like, an Emma chick, and then there was the right. Right. Right wing version with Kyle Kashuv. Kyle Cash of.
Tate Brown
Cash of.
Tim Pool
Yeah, he.
Dave Landau
He was the one that was, like, not even there. Right.
Eliyahu
Hog.
Tim Pool
Hog was out there.
Dave Landau
Yeah. Wasn't he, like, down the street?
Tim Pool
Hog was. Hog was at school when it happened. He left, and then he went back to do a little dancing on Graves. Oh.
Dave Landau
Once the coast was clear.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
He's like, now that it's safe, I'm gonna pretend I was part of this.
Tim Pool
Yeah, he was. He was in another part of the school. He wasn't actually. Actually. He was. He was. Wasn't actually in danger from the actual shooting. He left, went home, and then went back and started giving interviews and was like, hey, here's my chance to be a Democrat apparatchic.
Dave Landau
Can you imagine what a scumbag would run up to a news camera and just start making it about himself?
Tim Pool
When he was. Look, he was 17. So part of me is like, all right, he's young and dumb. But then he turned that into, you know, Harvard covered with poor grades and going on to be in the DNC after that, and. And basically failing at everything that he tried to do.
Dave Landau
So wearing skinny suits.
Tim Pool
Did wear skinny suits, because he, like.
Tate Brown
Threatened to, like, primary one guy, and they're like, get him out.
Tim Pool
Yeah, he.
Tate Brown
I mean, we got some good ideas.
Tim Pool
If you listen to. If you listen to James Carville, he was like, this kid's an idiot.
Tate Brown
Yeah, that's hilarious.
Tim Pool
They were primary. He wanted to primary safe Democrat seats because they weren't progressive enough. But it's like, look, man, they're just.
Tate Brown
Kicking the can down the road.
Tim Pool
You're not helping anybody by primary future.
Tate Brown
Whether they like it or not.
Tim Pool
Yeah, well, we'll see. I mean, I don't know that he's. That he's extreme enough when it comes.
Dave Landau
To the politics turning on him a bit.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I think.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Eliyahu
Dude, straight white. Come on. There's no. There's no. He's not on the hierarchy.
Tim Pool
No.
Tate Brown
I mean, just chuming it up with Zoron. I saw that. Oh, yeah.
Tim Pool
Was he.
Tate Brown
Yeah, they're boys.
Tim Pool
Well, well, I mean, again, I think that Hogg is the most self serving of the Democrats that, that I know of. I, I don't think that any of it is motivated by actual political beliefs other than, well, you know, I'm supposed to be a Democrat or I am a Democrat. That's how I identify. So I'm going to. Yeah, just be a Democrat. I don't think there's. There's any, anything other than, than self serving attempts to.
Tate Brown
He's the weird combination of being self serving and having a chip on his shoulder. Shoulder. And that's always a really deadly combo.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
We called in bomb threats not to go to school and then Columbine happened and all that jazz. That was that.
Tim Pool
Yeah, that, that did, that did put a damper on.
Dave Landau
It used to be like. It was funny though, when we would. We'd be like, is that this is dogs going into the school and a robot and you're like, maybe we shouldn't do this anymore.
Tim Pool
There were no robots back in the 90s.
Dave Landau
They were like little bomb ones. Yeah.
Tim Pool
Really?
Dave Landau
Yeah, I thought that that was.
Tim Pool
I thought that those didn't really become a thing.
Dave Landau
Yeah, like little remote ones. I mean they, I don't know if they did anything. There wasn't a bomb looking somebody who. I won't say who did it from a pay phone in Detroit outside a bar anyway.
Tim Pool
Well, you never can't tell with Detroit. Right. The schools were crazy.
Dave Landau
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Public schools. Yeah. They had these things called metal detectors. That's. And then g. They had people that work a lot of the schools.
Tim Pool
Really in the late 90s, huh?
Dave Landau
Yeah, through the 80s and 90s even where my son goes to school. There was an. Yeah. There was the opportunity to have a armed. Armed off duty Detroit police officers, retired police officers. And the entire school was like, yeah, good. Yeah, we'll do that. Just taking a quick vote. I mean, I think everybody wants to protect their children no matter what side you're on when it comes down to it.
Tim Pool
But doesn't that private, doesn't that make sense? I mean at least particularly nowadays with the, the advent of school shooting. You know, since Columbine.
Dave Landau
It really has. It's crazy because that one was out of nowhere.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
And then, I mean there had been a few before, but it was in the 70s. You know, there had been gang violence, but that was a very rare one. And they wanted to blame Manson and goth kids, but it turned out that it was actually two fairly popular kids. One extremely intelligent. Intelligent in one Kind of a follower. And after that, I mean, the way that it is now is just alarming. So there is a problem, but we have to identify what it actually is and what is it.
Tim Pool
I think that it's the fact that there are very few fathers and kids being raised by single mothers and SSRIs.
Dave Landau
And I think it is a lot in the treatment. I think there is a lot of. Yeah, I think there's a lot of that. There's a lot of pressure. There's a lot of.
Tim Pool
Of.
Dave Landau
I mean, I think the Internet's a huge problem to it because you're not being judged by a group of friends, you're being judged by Earth, the whole world. Yeah, I think there's a lot of problems with psyche as a result. With that.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, well, the, the idea that you're on display for the whole world and if you put up the wrong picture, you can, you know, or the, or something, the wrong video, you can have literally 100,000 people mock. Is something that a kid is not prepared for.
Dave Landau
No, it's something most adults are not prepared for.
Tim Pool
Yeah, most adults.
Eliyahu
I don't have the data in front of me. I believe school shootings to be going down. I think one of the core issues here is the social, social contagion aspect of it. So the Columbine stuff really blew up and there was a lot of copycat people as a result of many things, but due in part by them getting the idea from the Columbine shooting.
Dave Landau
Yes, almost instantly, like copycat.
Eliyahu
A ton of copycat killers, which was really messed up. When I was younger, I remember they. I forgot the name of the program. They brought us all into this room, like an auditorium or something, and they all like really gave us an extremely dramatic telling of the story and how it could have been us. And they tried to get half the kids to cry and everybody was all sobbing about this. And they really got this story out there aggressively. And it might have died down a bit now, but even still, when you're seeing these school shootings, it could encourage others to do. Do these copycat type attacks. Especially because humans are so, so stupid and we're such followers.
Tate Brown
That was a big problem like in the 2010s where they would like a school shoot would happen and then they would have like a scoreboard and it'll like show the record shooting. I was like, of course that was going to lead to these like psychos.
Tim Pool
And also nowadays what, so what is it?
Eliyahu
Actually?
Tate Brown
It was like a thing. It would be like, like who's killed.
Eliyahu
The most kids and like deadliest since then.
Dave Landau
Yeah, we're losing.
Tim Pool
And what, what's considered a, you know, a mass shooting nowadays has been really. The waters have been muddied so much because now they're talking about anyone that's shot. Like any, any shooting that happens where there's more than two people that are shot. Right. And when you say a mass shooting, it brings to mind someone going, well, I mean, a lot of people that have lost their lives. And it brings to mind someone that goes with the intent to kill multiple people and starts shooting and continues shooting and killing people until they're stopped. So you think of a large death pe hole. Nowadays, anything that happens, any event with a gun on a school, they call that a school shooting. So if a gun goes off and someone gets shot, they call it a school shooting, not an accident, it's a school shooting. Anytime there's more than two people that are shot in one event, they call it a mass shooting. Which again, if you're walking down the street and there's a, you know, someone decides that they're going to try and rob someone and they shoot the person they're trying to rob and two people get, get hit in the, in the crossfire, they call that a mass shooting. But the, the contexts are very different. So when you're thinking of a mass shooting and it brings to mind these, these horrible, you know, events where multiple people are shot and killed or someone is, you know, mugged and someone shoots them and two other people end up getting hit. That's. Those are two very different types of crime and two different types of criminal perform those crimes, you know.
Dave Landau
Well, it's a scare tactic.
Tim Pool
Yeah, you. That's the, that's the point. They muddy the water. So that way they can, they can essentially farm clicks, I imagine, you know.
Dave Landau
Well, that's the main reason for anything now. And like you guys said when it first happened, I mean, the immediate response, remember, was lockdown. And they said, if there's a shooter, we're going to pull the fire alarm and we're going to barricade the door and everybody gets under a desk. So essentially you're sitting ducks. And, you know, it's like, well, first of all, what if it's a fire and we don't hear the shots? So now we're just sitting in a classroom under desk desks. But the way that they responded, they had no idea what to do with it. And now it's like you said, if somebody, a lot of times someone will bring a Gun to school on accident. They will do it to be cool. Something will go off. And now it hits all these stats and it's not necessarily real. So we don't really know how to. They're not all individual, they're all just lumped into one thing to kind of scare every single parent.
Eliyahu
I think there is such something so horribly fascinating about, about this social contagion idea and how bad ideas could spread from one person to another for some of the most horrible things and how talking about these things more can help encourage them in people. So like school shootings aren't the only example. Offing yourself is another example. When it's covered more in the news, it's a crazy phenomena that it increases suicide rates. And another thing is the trans issue. The more attention that the trans issue is given, the more trans people we see start popping, popping up due to the social contagion theory. So I think it's crazy how impressionable people are and I think it's something that we need to be like hyper aware of. And then it's an interesting thing in how we in the media should behave knowing those things. You know, should I not cover people offing themselves as much because I know it could help spur other people doing that. Should I not cover school shootings the same way because I know it could lead to others? Should I not name shooters or this or that? So just, just something to be aware of as people I think were super impressionable?
Dave Landau
Yeah, I think the idea, okay, you name the shooter because that's what they want. I don't know if that's true. Right. That's just something we say, I think, going, okay, well suicides are up against men. Do you be honest and say it's gambling? Do you be honest and say it's these certain things of huge loss to people is what causes it, or do you kind of keep hiding that too? We kind of just put all that stuff out there. The trans issue I think is also proven to be real where the more and more we talk about and make an issue, the more and more people want to identify it for it attention. So it is tough to say what is what. But we do kind of talk about it. Then we put these blanket things over, like we can't talk about the shoot. That's not preventing anything. So. And also we do that thing, like you said, calling certain people teens, then naming certain people on the other side because we can talk about that person. We muddy it all up so we're never getting clear actual statistics of what's going on.
Eliyahu
People are such hard asses about the naming now. It's like, oh, you support this guy? Is that why you're naming him? You're trying to make him famous or something? Something. It's like, bro, I don't think this is going to change anything at this point. Like, no.
Dave Landau
And it's not going to satisfy him. He's dead.
Tate Brown
But it did get out of control for a while where like a shoot would happen and then you get like a full like Netflix documentary on it.
Eliyahu
Or like Time front page. I think it was the Boston Marathon.
Dave Landau
Yeah, yeah.
Eliyahu
Where it's like, we're fetishizing these.
Dave Landau
That was the Rolling Stone cover, which is horrible.
Tate Brown
It's like if you had nothing to lose and you're just like, this is it. It's like, well, you can get a Netflix documentary out of it.
Dave Landau
I mean, yeah, if you're going to be on the same cover as Kurt Cobain, that's certainly incentive.
Eliyahu
Yeah, but messed up way.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it's. I think, I think that it does make sense to do what you can to minimize the, the shooter or the people that are carrying out these violent acts. If it makes sense to actually name them or if it makes sense to talk about their background or whatever, then I think that it's acceptable. But it, the idea that you have to talk about them ad nauseam and talk about their motivation, it's. Etc. I'm not sure if that's, I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. Because if they have, you know, motivations that if they have some kind of manifesto or whatever, maybe it is good for, for that to be put out. But at the same time, you know, if it will inspire other people, you know, I'm not sure where the line is.
Dave Landau
You know, like the kid who was the son of a Hollywood producer, I believe he produced like Harry Potter movies or something, and then he shot up like a restaurant in Malibu. I think that was an interesting one where you kind of go, okay, well there's this rich kid who's spoiled and kind of has everything. Why? Why is that Life as vapid and empty as another life? And I mean, I mean, you could read like Brad Easton else's Less Than Zero and see why, but if you're not really aware of that, it's like, why do these things where people have so much and people have so little, have these same repercussions of violence?
Tim Pool
Well, what about something like the Christchurch shooter, the guy that shot up the, the mosque with all of the, you know, both. The, the weapons that he used had all kinds of crazy writing on him and stuff. Is, Is that worth discussing or is that worth making his manifesto known? I mean, he live streamed it on Facebook. I don't know that you could find the actual live stream, but for a while it was available at, you know, on the Internet, and you could literally just watch. The guy got out of his car, went to his trunk, picked up a gun. I. I don't remember. I could be misremembering, but I want to say that he's humming as he does it, and it's just really brutal and morbid to think about, you know.
Dave Landau
Well, that's.
Eliyahu
It was so casual. That's what I recall. That it was done in such a way that I think the first person at the door greeted the guy, if I'm not mistaken. And the FPS nature of it also made it look so, so, so surreal. Almost like a video game where, you know, like you're in gta, where it just almost didn't make sense seeing it. I, I think on the manifesto stuff, it's like, if we're being honest, it's a messed up way to get your stupid manifesto a ton of attention. And then some people would give credence to it and some people won't, and, you know, that'll kind of just be that. But it's. It's tragic.
Tim Pool
And I'm just wondering if it. Where, where do you guys think we should draw the line, though? Is there a place where, where it's acceptable to say, okay, this particular person's information should be given to the public? This particular person's information should be withheld? There are, there is, I think, a val. A valid argument for, look, people shouldn't be kept in the dark. The. If the, if the government has information, there's no actual reason to withhold it from the public. But there's also the argument, oh, hey, if you put this information out, it may inspire copycats. I'm wondering where you guys. If you guys think there's a line, is. Is it. Some should, some shouldn't. All of it should be kept as quiet as possible.
Dave Landau
Or I think a lot of it should be able to. You can seek it out, but it shouldn't be jammed down your throat. I mean, I think we should be allowed to have the information as citizens. I think Ted Kaczynski is something for an example where you can look and go, okay, he's a genius. There's a lot of information. Information here that he was Accurate about. He just shouldn't have made nail bombs. Like, the whole thing that was.
Tim Pool
He was wrong about the post office.
Dave Landau
He was wrong. He really. Blowing off a postal worker's hand was the thing he shouldn't have done. But the rest of it reads where you're like, pretty accurate.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Tate Brown
You could have made like a sub stack or something.
Dave Landau
Yeah. I mean, really, if only the Internet.
Tim Pool
Was around when he was, you know.
Dave Landau
And even if it was around, he was in a place with real spotty.
Tim Pool
Wife, I imagine, out in the Starlink or something.
Dave Landau
Out in that shed in the woods. Yeah, but.
Tim Pool
Yeah, only Elon Musk, but yeah. Can you imagine Ted Kaczynski, the.
Tate Brown
He's on the.
Tim Pool
He just made the guy that wrote. The guy that wrote Industrial Civilization and it's. And its consequences.
Tate Brown
There's probably 30 of them alive today. But Twitter just gets it out of them. So they can just get fired up on Twitter and it gets that juice out.
Tim Pool
I mean, that's. That's a. That's a valid point. How many people out there actually be. The Internet has given them an outlet and prevented them from going.
Eliyahu
I think the opposite. I think more people are getting radicalized on the Internet. And you could find a small group of people who agree with your delusions on the Internet. No matter how dumb your delusion is, you can find a group of people on the Internet.
Tim Pool
The point that we're making is that those people find people to talk to, and that's the outlet as opposed to just.
Eliyahu
No, they become more. More radical as a result to only talking to the specific group of crazies who confirm their. Their craziness. So in the past, if you were a complete wack, you couldn't find crazy people online who agreed with you and gave you confirmation bias to your crazy ideas. You'd be around people who were like, nah, you're actually a moron. But now you could find somebody who says whatever you want is a natural thing.
Tim Pool
I'm not arguing against that point. I think you're correct with that. But the point that I'm.
Dave Landau
The question that Marshall Applewhite found followers.
Tate Brown
Well, yeah, that's the thing. It's like we had entire countries that.
Tim Pool
Were cut Their point that I'm making.
Dave Landau
They could jump on Hale Bop.
Eliyahu
Yeah, I have no idea what this is.
Tim Pool
The.
Dave Landau
The.
Tim Pool
The Hill Bop. I forget. What was it?
Dave Landau
It was a comet that was coming.
Tim Pool
Heaven's Gate.
Dave Landau
And they were like, we're gonna ride the comet.
Tim Pool
We just have to cut the point that I'm Making is you.
Dave Landau
The shoes were nice.
Tim Pool
Find people to NWA things with. And because you find people to discuss these things with, you don't actually become violent in the real world. And it seems that there is less violence today day than there was 20, 30, 40 years ago.
Tate Brown
Yeah, we had entire countries that were like communist and fascist.
Tim Pool
Like yeah.
Tate Brown
The idea that these radical ideologies are spreading to the Internet's like crazy. It's like last century was way worse for this kind of thing we were.
Tim Pool
Talking about last night, the 21st, the 20th century was an absolute bloodbath and all of the radical stuff that people are afraid of. I mean by the time 20, 19, 25 rolled around, there had already been been the most destructive war in human history. And then to be followed by World War II, which was again the most destructive war in human history.
Eliyahu
Let's give the Internet some time to cook, guys. I think it's only been ubiquitous for what, 20 or 30 years. Let's give to the Internet some time to cook. Don't worry, it'll cause a lot of problems with radicalizing people. I think in the future.
Dave Landau
Yeah, I'd only say 15 really has.
Eliyahu
Had a success, has really been everywhere that everybody's been on. We don't even have all the Indians on. The Chinese have a Great Wall of China Internet firewall. Great firewall of China or what have you. So no. And I think if you give like a group of raise crazy radical communists ways to speak to each other online, I think they'd be talking themselves to the more extreme and not like off the, off the extreme.
Tim Pool
So it's your, it's your understand or your opinion that there are more extreme ideologies today than there were were in the 20th century.
Eliyahu
I think they could be normalized easier by finding peers who agree with you and will confirm your crazy beliefs online, making you feel more comfortable and confident in them.
Tate Brown
But I also think online these people that are these radicals ghetto eyes quicker they just become purely online types of people. Where back in the day they had to seek each other out. They'd start compounds. When's the last time we got a good compound? We haven't had a compound in a long time.
Eliyahu
You just don't know of the, the good ones, they're off the grid still.
Tim Pool
I, I, I think that, I mean you, you, it's possible that you could prove to be right, but I do think that, I think, I still think you're wrong. I think that the 20th century really was like, I think the 20th century might have been you know, the. The apex in recent history of. Of just absolute batshit crazy people doing crazy things.
Dave Landau
Well, you could get away with more.
Tim Pool
Absolutely.
Dave Landau
I mean, if you even look at, like, the Mafia, you can. Could just walk around like the Teflon dawn, just kill people. I mean, it was really. It was really nice. I mean, not that it was good.
Tim Pool
But I mean, it was just that level of anonymity, you know?
Dave Landau
I mean, like a fun time to live where, like, you really had to pick and choose the bloodbath you were going to air on the news that night. There were so many.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Eliyahu
You know, like, you commit crimes. You could just skip town. Nobody was finding you.
Dave Landau
No. I mean, you would just bury somebody and they're like, I don't know what happened to Tim. And it was. That was it.
Tate Brown
You could dodge a draft by just going to Canada.
Dave Landau
Yeah. Yeah. And now, like, go fish.
Eliyahu
Just have a bone spur. You don't even need to go that far.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Okay.
Dave Landau
Like, now they're solving cold cases with DNA, which is interesting. But there's so many of them.
Eliyahu
Yes.
Dave Landau
Like, now they're about to, like, find out with Jean Benet and stuff.
Tim Pool
All you have to do is turn on, like, Netflix, and they have all types of murder mystery things.
Dave Landau
Oh, yeah.
Tate Brown
And that's what women, like, unwind. I always wondered who. Who's watching? This is women. They don't wind to murder me.
Tim Pool
My girlfriend has literally watched everything that Netflix has to offer when it comes to murder.
Eliyahu
Terrifying.
Tim Pool
I'm like, I have a lot of guns here. Do I really want you watching these kind of things?
Dave Landau
And they say if you unwind that you have severe mental disorders. And I don't know one woman who doesn't watch that. I feel like offense, lady.
Tim Pool
Severe mental disorders in women kind of go hand in hand.
Dave Landau
Yeah. Maybe they need it because they're always like, I want to feel safe. And I'm like, but you go to bed watching. Watching the Carnival Cruise thing where a woman gets taken and they still keep seeing her at different places, Even though she's 50 and still being trafficked. Did you see that?
Tim Pool
No.
Dave Landau
I didn't even know about it. So my wife's like, yeah, I've watched it twice. Why'd you watch it twice? Horrifying.
Tim Pool
There was nothing else on.
Dave Landau
Yeah, she was like, 16 and, like, the Bahamas with her parents, and somebody's just like, a worker just took her and she's been gone crazy creepy. That's why I don't go on cruises.
Tim Pool
I. You know, I don't Go on CRU cruises myself.
Eliyahu
I don't go on cruises because I'm claustrophobic. Come on. I want to be able to go where I want.
Tate Brown
No, I hate the cruises because you go on there and it's like, the workers are, like, from, like, the Philippines and Indonesia and they look miserable. And then you ask them, they're like, it's actually a really good job in their country. And you're just like this.
Eliyahu
If I want to murder somebody, I'm inviting them on a cruise.
Dave Landau
Someone has to say, good job, and felt by in their country. It's not a good job. Yeah, it's not.
Tate Brown
It's not like they actually fight over this. Like, rapid cheeseburgers for Louisianans.
Tim Pool
Any caveats are not a good idea. It's. It's actually a really good job. Caveat. No, it's not a really good job.
Dave Landau
What's another good job there? Well, they sell cocaine off a jet ski.
Tate Brown
You could be a child soldier. So it's a little better than that.
Dave Landau
Yeah. Have you ever parachuted off the back of a boat and not lived? They do that, too.
Tim Pool
All right, we're going to jump to one last story here. Michael Rapaport, poor, was supposed to be playing in at the Stardome in Alabama and it was canceled. He tweeted. My show tonight at the Stardom in Alabama was canceled. I did not cancel. I would never cancel, especially since I'm already here in Birmingham ready to perform. It was shut down because of protests and threats over my support for Israel and for speaking up about the 50 hostages still being held in Gaza 670 days in captivity. And people are protesting me for demanding their release. It's embarrassing, it's sad, but I'm not ashamed. I stand by what I said and who I stand stand with. Fortunately, I got to meet some incredible people from the. From Shabbat of Alabama today and had the blessings of wrapping Teflon, a ginormous mitzvah, and a reminder of what really matters. I am Israel shy. That's right. I am Israel shy. I think he said, anyways, to fill in and amistral rapping to fill in is the weirdest thing that I have ever seen a religion do. Like, they put up. That's the weirdest thing. It's one of the weirdest. They put a box on their head. They put a box on their arm.
Eliyahu
Scripture, memory box. There's scripture.
Tate Brown
Yeah.
Eliyahu
And they're like boxers and then. Then it's cow leather that you rap X amount of times. And it's symbolic but Speaking of the 20 hostages, Hamas actually released a hostage video over the weekend of Ev atar David, where he was starving. Literally starving. Not fake Palestinians starving, literally. Skin and BO bones forced to dig his own grave. According to the Hamas video. Again, this is Hamas that chose to make a video of them starving somebody and forcing him to dig his own grave and counting down the days and watching him cry all over himself. So I think it's good awareness that he's bringing to this, Mr. Rappaport.
Dave Landau
So Hamas was violent.
Tim Pool
Who'd have thunk it?
Dave Landau
My stars.
Tim Pool
I still can't believe that they're people that. That would side with. Would side with Hamas. They are after the N. You can't paraglide anymore. Like, I mean, you can be critical.
Dave Landau
If you want to be critical of them for 911.
Tim Pool
I know, right? If you want to be critical of Israel and the way that they're carrying out the war in Gaza, fine, you can be critical of that. I get it. But, like, the idea that, like, people are like, Hamas are the good guys. Yeah. And it's like, come on, come on.
Dave Landau
But you talk about the 90s and people being unaware. This is the Middle East. East.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
It's just war all the time and has been since I was a kid. Starving children is awful, but this has been the entire time I've been alive. I don't know how people aren't aware of this.
Tim Pool
And it's. And. And people love to say that it's Israel's fault. It was not Israel's fault that Iran and Iraq were at war for two decades or a decade or whatever.
Dave Landau
And Iraq is really there because Iran lets them.
Tim Pool
Well, yeah, because Iran is a. A is a very big and in context, powerful country compared to.
Dave Landau
Well, then you have Americans going, why would we bomb Iran? It's like, what?
Tim Pool
Because Iran. Because Iran around here, Lebanon, you know.
Dave Landau
Did you not understand any. It's. It's a terrible dry place that God doesn't want you to live. Nothing grows there.
Tim Pool
I mean, well, in Iraq. But Iran, if I understand correctly, Iran has. They've got mountains and stuff.
Dave Landau
That's true.
Tim Pool
Nice.
Dave Landau
I've never been.
Tim Pool
Neither have I. I just.
Dave Landau
It looks awful from all the footage I've seen. So I could be. Speaking of return.
Tim Pool
Everything post 1979 seems to be kind of a mess.
Tate Brown
The footage, I mean, like, it's getting just blown up all the time. That's every time I see the footage.
Dave Landau
Iran. Yes. Yeah.
Tate Brown
If you.
Dave Landau
If you defend Jews now, you get called the Zionist and you're like, I don't, I don't think you should be murdering Jews. Remember how that happened?
Tim Pool
And not only. So, not only if you defend Jews, but if you don't hate Israel, right, Then, then you're a Zionist. Like, I catch a lot of heat because I'm not like, kill all the, the Jews, right?
Dave Landau
And then you hear Jews go, I'm not anti Semitic because I, I'm against Israel. And you're like, I what, so what are you then? Yeah, you're like, well, I'm just pro Palestine. Okay.
Tim Pool
What do they believe from the river to the sea?
Dave Landau
You want to read the Quran and tell me what part of that is pro you. What do you think you're going to be saved?
Tim Pool
Well, especially in, when it comes to people in the west, these, those are the same people that would say, you know, I'm, I think that I'm a queer for Palestine. Palestine.
Dave Landau
Which is hilarious.
Tim Pool
Hilarious. Yeah, it is hilarious. The, the idea that, you know, they.
Dave Landau
And if you, as we know, they only have sex with children who drive them around. Right.
Tim Pool
I don't know. Is I, Is that the case?
Dave Landau
That's what I've heard.
Tim Pool
That's the case.
Dave Landau
That's what I've heard. A lot of the, the, the soldiers, the, the, the. I don't know what they have over there. Corporals.
Tim Pool
Sergeants, I don't, I don't know what.
Dave Landau
No offense, if I live, you know, dearborn. So you're there. God bless you people. Allah bless you. Love you guys.
Tim Pool
Peace be upon him.
Dave Landau
The Quran, or as I call it, the good book.
Tate Brown
It'S a bestseller.
Dave Landau
Oh, it's really a top drawer flying off the shelves. So call it the new New Testament.
Tim Pool
So that this Michael Rapaport getting canceled though we were talking before the show. It's my sense that this is an Internet thing as opposed to a locals in Birmingham thing. I don't imagine that there are a lot of people in Birmingham that are.
Tate Brown
You know, you know, that we gotta.
Eliyahu
We gotta let them hostages go.
Tim Pool
You know, that's kind of, that's.
Tate Brown
No, they're anti Israel.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Tate Brown
I mean, there's a genocide taking place that ain't right. Kids are starving.
Tim Pool
You know, I mean, like, that's not.
Dave Landau
Alex is that Jew lover down there. That Zionist boy tell me he hates Muslims. Get in the truck.
Tate Brown
Get, get the queers for Palestine.
Tim Pool
We're heading down there.
Dave Landau
Get in the truck. We going to go down to the Stardome and not watch the show.
Tim Pool
So, I mean, is, it's, it's it's my sense that it's kind of an Internet thing, but I, I wonder why is it it that. Why is it this particular location as opposed to, you know, he's. Is he on tour or is it. They just decided, oh, get him now?
Tate Brown
A lot of progressives in Alabama.
Dave Landau
You gonna tell me the Nazi and higher learning ain't really a Nazi?
Tim Pool
I mean, there's a lot there. There are a lot of black people in Birmingham, and black people tend to, you know, not be fond.
Dave Landau
Stardom is largely a black club.
Tim Pool
Is it really?
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Okay.
Dave Landau
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
So do you think that that's what it is? The, the, the. The black population in, in Birmingham, they.
Dave Landau
May have just not wanted to go to the show. I mean, I have nothing against him at all, but I mean, that could be it.
Tate Brown
Maybe it just sucks.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tate Brown
Oh, I got protests.
Dave Landau
I mean, honestly, they could have been the two that bought tickets and they were like, we got a two for one. We got an emailed coupon for a meet and greet.
Tim Pool
You can't take. You can't say no to coupons, right?
Dave Landau
No, I mean, you blame them.
Tim Pool
I can't.
Dave Landau
How happy they are.
Tim Pool
Bring those guys up. Okay. They're excited.
Dave Landau
Yeah. They got there. And even Rapaport looks like. Do I got to take this picture?
Tate Brown
Jeez, guys, tone it down.
Dave Landau
Oh, come on, guys.
Tate Brown
A little on the nose.
Dave Landau
Can I get you boys a hat with a brim? Yeah. I mean, I think it, I think it. If it's the real reason that people were protest. If you're protesting outside and black people want to go to a show, they're gonna go to the show.
Tim Pool
I imagine they're not gonna go.
Dave Landau
There's a bunch of white people who don't want us to go in. They're gonna go, do you want to move? Nobody, Nobody's ever stopped a black group of people from getting into a concert or out. So I don't know. It seems like a publicity stunt.
Tim Pool
I mean, maybe it is. Maybe it. Maybe it is. I don't know if there's any kind of. Let's see if there's any kind of follow up to this or if this is the.
Eliyahu
There should be video if there's people protesting, right?
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tate Brown
You'd assume partition the auditorium.
Eliyahu
I will say he's not my favorite pro Israel guy.
Tim Pool
Why is that Michael Rappaport flip flop a lot.
Eliyahu
I just, I thought he sucked before the Israel stuff. So now post Israel stuff, I, I think he just. Just still sucks. He's a comedian. Like, I don't know, he does shows and stuff.
Tate Brown
He's like, he used to do like the, when they draft, the Knicks drafted Chris stops Porzingis. And he was like, does he even have a green card? It was a beautiful thing.
Eliyahu
And I remember him as, like, a sports guy. Yeah, he was kind of racist.
Dave Landau
He was in, like, hop land. He was really good.
Tim Pool
Higher. All comedians kind of racist.
Dave Landau
I mean, come on.
Eliyahu
Can you tell me about this phenomenon of all comedians just becoming geopolitical experts? Just, I don't know, the turn of a switch. It's all these guys because Rappaport now, too. And it's. I don't know what it is with comedy. Maybe it's about feeling really confident about. And while you don't know a lot about a topic.
Dave Landau
Right.
Eliyahu
What's going on here?
Dave Landau
For me particular?
Eliyahu
No, no, it's. Is there something in the. And I don't know. They're giving you guys at the back of these comedy clubs.
Dave Landau
No.
Eliyahu
I mean, a lot of world history books back there.
Dave Landau
I ended up, you know, yeah, tons. I ended up on the Anthony Kumia show. Gosh, 2016. So I just started kind of looking into it and I started doing shows at Fox and meeting people. So for me, it was kind of before all of it. But I don't, I learned talking to people like you, the ones that happen to be experts on it, like this, I don't understand because I don't buy it. I, I, that's why it doesn't make much sense to me, to be honest with you. And also, I'm kind of offended by actors who become comedians like him because you're kind of going up on stage and going, hey, remember me from movies? Well, now I do comedy. You know what I mean? It's like how Jeremy Piven or, you know, Dustin Diamond, RIP but it's like how they were something, now they go and do comedy. It's just, it's odd to me because it's like, you didn't start as a comic. You became one after you were that. And I did like, m. There's a movie called Bamboozled, actually that Spike Lee did where he's the head of, like, the WB and he's basically just like tap dancing on a. It's like a huge middle finger of the wb, like Spike Lee or not. I think it's a brilliant movie.
Eliyahu
It's.
Dave Landau
And, yeah, and he was a really good actor, so I don't know why he became this, but I think he just had something go viral that was political. So he stayed in that realm. And I think a lot of people end up doing shows where they talk about it so it becomes successful for them and then they stay in that angle, but once it turns on them, because he was huge left, then he switches and goes another direction. That's why it's hard to say what you really are. That's why I'm fairly moderate, though, because I don't trust either side. And the reason I don't is because. And I've. I've talked about this many times. My dad got Agent Orange from Vietnam. Got sick when I was 15, died when I was 18. The government did nothing to help him. I do not trust either side. I've never seen the VA do anything French, anybody. Once our soldiers are taken care of, and once I believe that a war deserves to be fought, I will. But until then, I don't believe in any of these people. I believe the Senate is overcrowded. I don't believe politicians care. Every time you get stuck in traffic, that's what I believe, that they don't. I believe they take our money, they overtax us and they waste lives and they do not care about the average human being and they want to keep us fighting. That's what I truly believe. So when people go, oh, you moderate, you might sit on a offense. I do because I do not believe. I'm not partisan. I do not believe in neither of these people. And to. To look at somebody. And I voted for Trump and I've said that, but even that has now disappointed me. And until he can prove the Epstein list, because that's something I believed in. I thought he was going to stop corruption. I thought he was going to go after the swamp. Well, does it get any murkier than that? I don't think so. So I want to see where all of this goes. I'm so disappointed because we are polluted now with politicians and they're nothing more than insider traders who take our money and gamble with it. With tips, they create themselves.
Eliyahu
It's fascinating because a lot of comedians on both sides have become some of the most potent voice voices when it comes to a lot of issues like this. I don't know if it's. I don't know if I'm being cynical now. I don't know if it's just try to get some more buzz going on cynical.
Dave Landau
So I understand, but I don't know.
Eliyahu
If it's like they're just hopping on. On trends, but they're doing it effectively. And a lot of these guys, their Comedy is second or third to their activism. And so I don't know if they're just straight up opportunists just hopping on trends or they truly care, but they are getting the most ears in a lot of these cases. There's some leftist pro Palestinian guy named Jacob Berger, I believe, who's like, very popular in that space. And he gets a lot of attention, obviously. There's Dave Smith, who gets a lot of attention. There's Mike Rappaport, who gets a lot of attention. Attention. Theo von. Whenever he talks about politics.
Tim Pool
There's a requirement to. To voice your opinion in politics nowadays, though, if you don't, you get. You get accosted by people that are accusing you of not having the pol. The correct politics, or you. You get accused of. Of being this supporter or that supporter, whatever. So it's. It's almost a requirement to say, look, this is how I think about these things. And there is kind of a politically correct politics to have now.
Eliyahu
Like, comedians aren't even comedians any start. They're just riffing on politics. They're just like level political commentators.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Eliyahu
Sprinkling some jokes sometimes. I know more comedians who.
Tim Pool
That's like their second or third public faces, though.
Dave Landau
That's why almost every opinion I've had tonight has been a joke. It's like comedy should come first to every comic, in my opinion.
Eliyahu
I agree.
Dave Landau
I think Dave Smith is very passionate about what he believes, and I think that's why he's a little bit more outspoken than most people about it.
Eliyahu
And what do you think he. He believes? Because I believe, again, in a very cynical way, that a lot of these guys, it's just whatever's getting me the numbers, that's what satisfies.
Dave Landau
I don't think he's chasing the numbers. I think that he very much believes the stuff that he says. I think that he very much believes that he does not believe in the war.
Eliyahu
Do you think he has more success as a comedian or doing his activism stuff?
Tim Pool
He was very successful.
Dave Landau
He was a successful comedian, actually. So I think he's kind of lost fans and gained some as a result of it.
Eliyahu
I think his number is very clearly shot up since he's talked about more of his activism stuff. And I think that's.
Tim Pool
He's got more likes and more being on. On the Joe Rogan podcast multiple times.
Dave Landau
I mean, he was on. He's been on it for so many years, it's tough to say, you know, So, I mean, he was known for Legion of Skanks, which. That was really big with Compound. So I think he's definitely got his fanship being in the political sphere. But I mean he goes back to red eye, he goes back to all that stuff. So he's always been kind of, you could say it's like a Bill Maher. I mean you can't really take the politics out of Bill Maher where if you look at somebody like Carlin, that's more who I admire because that's just completely black pilled and kind of against everything. And that's where I sit. It's hard for me to align with anything because there's so much transparent stuff.
Eliyahu
Here's my kind of beef with the comedians in the political realm too. It's like you're arguing with, with like a wet pig and it's like if you pin him down, it's like you're, you're a moron who's like, you know, you're just arguing with somebody who's just making jokes all day.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Eliyahu
And then if you lose, it's like you lost some debate to some moron who's like a comedian just making jokes. It's Jon Stewart did this to Tucker Carlson once on like Crossfire is like, oh, you're taking me seriously. Like what kind of moron are you? You're supposed to be the serious political guy. So it's like, you know, engage and you know, they win.
Dave Landau
I think there's really no steward though holds himself as a serious political guy.
Tim Pool
Maybe.
Eliyahu
Well you don't think, you don't think like Dave Smith or even Michael Rapaport also hold themselves to be serious political guys. They definitely do.
Dave Landau
I would say Dave Smith. Smith does. So I think at the end of the day it's not, I don't think he defends himself with that comedy angle. I would be surprised that Jon Stewart do that. I haven't seen that clip.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Dave Landau
Because I would say that almost because going long daily. Was it a while ago?
Tim Pool
It was back when, when Tucker Carlson was on fire.
Dave Landau
At that point though he was still a cop.
Eliyahu
No, but that's, I think that's true While talking to any, having a political debate with any comedians. I think it's still a whole, I.
Dave Landau
Think finding the humor in it though is fair. I mean if you, if you're going to talk about anything in life, politics is still fair game. So you're allowed to argue it as a comic the same way as you're allowed to argue anything else. I mean it's the same, I mean across the board. I mean if you see something wrong, you're allowed to point it out.
Eliyahu
I guess my beef is that comedians just barely aren't even. They're not funny anymore. They're just yapping.
Dave Landau
No.
Eliyahu
About politics.
Dave Landau
A lot yapping.
Eliyahu
That's it. It's like, thanks for your nice lecture. You're not, you know, Dave Chappelle, where you got to that point in your career where you could just give me a long lecture and I'll think you're funny no matter what. It's just like, why are you bitching and moaning on stage? Make a joke like, well, I love.
Dave Landau
Dave, but I mean, I would argue that the element of that is the turnout an hour because everything's content online now. And I would put that in movies. I'd put that in a lot of things. I think we stopped creating art and we started creating content.
Tim Pool
Yeah. I think, and it's, it's worth, it's worth noting that if you're, if you're watching a, a comedian standup, then they tend to be funny. Like, if you watch Dave stand up Dave. But if you're watching, like, Dave on a podcast. Dave is not doing stand up on a podcast. And he's not on a podcast because he's a comedian. He's on a podcast because he's a libertarian activist almost all the time. Right. Like, very rarely does Dave go onto a podcast as Dave Smith the comedian. Like, he's a, he's a funny guy and so he might crack some jokes, but he's not there specifically because of Dave Smith the comedian. He's there because he's a, he's a political activist. He's there because he's a libertarian.
Dave Landau
My thing too is if you look at, okay, if there's an authenticity to it right now, if I look at a lot of people in the right wing sphere that I've met personally, they're not authentic. They're lying. They're just saying something to make money. I've met plenty of these people. They have other people write all their stuff. They're not actually bringing out what their natural opinion is. You've said everything you feel today off the top of your head. I've watched it. There's an authenticity to you. So I believe, Believe you. I enjoy talking to you. It's what I felt about everybody in this room. But I've met plenty of people who aren't that person. So you meet so many inauthentic people in this sphere that I look at those people and go, well, isn't that the Same uninformed person. But they're making 100% of what they do in this.
Eliyahu
It's a fair point, I guess. And yes.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Dave Landau
All right, we're gonna, oh, no, no, no. I think it's a, I mean, and I, I do agree, I mean there are a lot of people that I do find mind numbingly painful to watch now because of this, like, I wish I, I fell into politics sort of incidentally. But I, I, I think comedy's number one man. And I think it always should be for any comic. That's how I personally feel about it.
Tim Pool
All right, we're gonna go to Super Chat. So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, go on over to rumble.com, become a member, then head on over to timcast.com and join our disc. Hang out with like minded people and you can call into the SH after show. You can talk to us, talk to our guests, ask questions. But right now we're going to go to your Super Chats and I think we're going to start with some rumble rants here. Shane H. Wilder says Rwanda just agreed to take up to 250 of the deported illegal, illegal aliens. If they want them, they can have them. They can put them in Don Cheadle's hotel.
Eliyahu
I'd rather go back to whatever South American country than in Africa.
Tim Pool
I mean, mean, damn, I mean, I.
Dave Landau
Mean, what are you going to share the food?
Tim Pool
But the reason that they're, that they're ostensibly the reason they're going to south or to, to Africa or countries in Africa is because the countries of origin don't want them back because they're actual criminals. Like, they're the, the, the bad guys that the bad hombres that Trump has, has sworn to get or, you know, has said that he's going to get rid of. So look, I am as pro deportation as it come as you can get. Like send them back, send it back by the bus load, by the plane load, I don't care, just send them back.
Dave Landau
There's any exception?
Tim Pool
Personally? No. My opinion is that everyone that's here illegally should go. We should have a moratorium on all immigration for the next 10 years. And so that way the people that are here legally can assist assimilate and the only people that should be left let in are like possibly O1 visas. And it shouldn't, there should be a stringent, there should be stringent requirements to those O1 visas as well. Like you have to cut, you can't be someone that's like you know, if you're, if you have anti American sentiments, if you're some kind of socialist or you don't believe in. In America's values, then you shouldn't be allowed in. I'm very, very strict about what we should do when it comes to. To what?
Dave Landau
If you're hot like a Colombia.
Tim Pool
See now this is the, this is the, the Alex Stein big booty Latina argument. And I still say no.
Tate Brown
Wow.
Eliyahu
He's not even dating a whole Latina. That and his whole. His whole shtick is big booty Latina. And he has the whitest girlfriend I could ever imagine.
Dave Landau
No, I have to work next.
Eliyahu
It's all a. He's.
Dave Landau
It's ag.
Eliyahu
You comedians, you can't trust him.
Dave Landau
No, let's not call him a comedian now.
Eliyahu
What, we're gatekeeping it now.
Tate Brown
Huh?
Tim Pool
Scared for.
Dave Landau
A good friend of mine.
Tim Pool
So. But yeah, I. Nobody. Nobody can stay. Everyone has to go. If you're here legally, you have to go. And I would go so far.
Dave Landau
If you're like this close, you got a family and a dog, they can all go.
Tim Pool
A dog can stay.
Eliyahu
But the kids would be kosher. That's the issue. They'd have anchor babies. So the children are citizens. You've been in the country.
Tim Pool
The kids, the kids can come back when they're, when they're 18. 18, like send them back with the parents. Yeah, when they're legal age to come in, then they can come back because they're, they're U.S. citizens, but they have to leave with the parents. Then they can come back. And you can't chain migrate back either because you were here illegally. You don't get to come back when your kids come back. I'm. I'm the kind of guy that thinks that we should actually punish business owners that hire illegals. And I think that if you rent your. Your apartment or you know, some kind a room or whatever, a house to an illegal, you should lose that house. Like I'm. I want to make it. I want to make it as the, the thing that I want is I want to make it as uncomfortable for illegals to be here as possible. So that way they decide to leave of their own volition so we don't have to have ice going and kicking indoors and finding people and stuff. The more difficult you make. So this sounds mean, right? But it's actually the most, the most compassionate way to do it. Make it incredibly difficult for them to live here. Tax remittances at 90%. Do everything you can to make it as, as uncomfortable and unwelcoming here. So that way they decide to leave on their own. So we don't have to have ICE go and, and confront people. You have to arrest people. You don't have to have the, the, the police interactions.
Dave Landau
I think the ice show is the problem.
Tim Pool
Yeah, Yeah.
Dave Landau
I think the way, if we can tone that down, that would be the best way to handle.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Tate Brown
So tax the remittances. You're going to save a lot of money on ICE because that's the number one thing is people want to see. Send money back to their, to their homeland, make it. They'd leave themselves. You wouldn't even have to worry about it.
Tim Pool
The more difficult and more uncomfortable it is to be here as an illegal, the better. So that way they leave on their own and then like, look, man, you want to give them a thousand dollars to leave? I'm. I'm good with that too. Give them 2000. If you leave and you use the app and say, look, here I am in my, my home country and I left, we'll send you $2,000. There you go. Like, the, the point isn't that I'm trying to hurt these people. The point is I want as many people to. That are here illegally to leave them America in of their own volition, you know, buy their own plane tickets so that way ICE doesn't have to get involved. And the more uncomfortable it is to be here, the more people will leave. And then we shut the border down for a decade, so that way the people that are here can assimilate. Everybody has to learn English. The federal government should stop making any kind of paperwork or anything in any other language. They shouldn't provide translators. You have to learn English because in my argument for that is because, look, everybody that speaks the same language, if you understand English, you can understand the concepts. There are certain concepts and jokes that don't. Like. There are jokes specifically. Right. That the easiest to understand, like they don't make sense in other languages or there are jokes that make sense in another language that don't make sense in English. That's because of the way that language works. So if you all speak the same language, then you can un. You can understand the same concepts in a. It's far easier for people to understand the same concept. So these things, I think, would actually make people that are here illegally leave. And it'll make sure that we can become a country that is less divided because we all share more commonality.
Dave Landau
So good answer.
Tim Pool
Thank you. Anyways, let's see Mike the Mike the wop says, I liked him, but when he's gone, it's like the teacher is out, there's a substitute, and you get to fool around. Clank. Oh, you're a clanker. That's. He's talking about. He's talking about the Rizzler. AI Hammer. No. Stick.
Eliyahu
Oh, I thought that was a slur.
Tate Brown
I thought it was a slur for robots.
Tim Pool
No, the spoon.
Eliyahu
Dirty clankers coming for our jobs.
Tim Pool
Wirebacks. No, he's. He's a fan of sticks. Sticks. Hex and Hammer. And Sticks is great. He's great.
Eliyahu
Should have him on the show.
Tim Pool
I. I don't. I don't know that he travels, but.
Dave Landau
Shout out to Sticks.
Tim Pool
Sticks. No, he's a. He's a YouTube personality. Oh.
Eliyahu
Political commentator. Usually doesn't wear a shirt, I believe.
Tim Pool
Eccentric cool guy.
Dave Landau
Bert.
Eliyahu
Nice.
Tim Pool
Let's see. SH22 says, this is what happens when you have women left to raise their kids alone. Be it from death, jail, criminal enterprise. No positive male role model leads the way to this crap in D.C. i mean, like, look, man, there's a lot of people that complain about toxic masculinity and stuff, but, like, young men are raised by single mothers and they're instructed by women in school. So if the problem is young men, who's teaching these young men? You know, it's. It's not positive male role models, you know?
Dave Landau
Yeah. I mean, a dad needs to be involved in a kid's life just as much, and if they choose to be out of it, that's on them.
Tim Pool
Yeah. And like, if you. If you choose to be out of your kid's life, you're a garbage. Yeah. You're a bad person.
Dave Landau
Right. There's been nothing better for me than having a kid.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Eliyahu
I'll take that a little bit further. You need to marry your baby mama or your scumbag.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Eliyahu
Take care of that kid for at least 18 years and then divorce.
Dave Landau
Otherwise, you pretend. Just pretend in front of the kid.
Eliyahu
Well, don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Tate Brown
LARPing. It's LARPing.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Tim Pool
You shouldn't be boning women that you.
Dave Landau
Sneak out to one of them wax shacks. You know what I mean? Get a little rough and tiger.
Tim Pool
I mean, look, any closet in an Internet connection is a. Is a. Is one of them whack shacks nowadays.
Dave Landau
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Just you and another each other's beard. You know what I mean?
Tim Pool
Michael McCord says they need a RICO like charge for adults who can, who convince or order juveniles to commit crime. That's not a bad idea.
Dave Landau
I think that's a very good idea.
Tim Pool
Yeah, some kind of, kind of, some kind of, you know, something to say you, you're committing, you're, you know, you're committing this crime as well as the child.
Eliyahu
I don't disagree, but I don't think this is stopping the, the quote unquote youth from the youth DC Crimes and.
Tate Brown
Like a New York Post.
Dave Landau
I was a juvenile criminal though, so I, I kind of crim. Well, murder, drugs, alcohol, not much murder.
Tim Pool
Not much, just a wee, just a small amount. When weed was bad, the normal amount.
Eliyahu
Of murder and weed was very illegal, I don't know, 20 years ago. I don't know.
Dave Landau
Super illegal. Yeah. Oh no, it was very illegal. You had to go to terrible places to get it. Now you just walk into a store.
Tim Pool
You had to go to terrible places everywhere. Like the mall to avoid cvs.
Dave Landau
Yeah, yeah. Now you just walk into Kroger. Yeah. You use your card for gas points. It's, yeah, it's nuts. But yeah, I think it's, I think you should get a chance though, depending on where you were raised, what's going on in your house. I think you, you deserve an opportunity. Opportunity to turn your life around at that age. But if you are of an age where you're 30 something years old, convincing kids to go out and do this stuff, you should absolutely catch a RICO charge for that. That is trafficking.
Tim Pool
Yeah, something, I mean, something. Not that it's, it'll detour it.
Dave Landau
I'm not saying it'll stop these kids from doing illegal things, but I think it'll stop some.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I don't know that it's a deterrent. I do like the idea of it being a punishment though. Like I, I, I think that, that most criminals don't look at the law as a deterrent. They're, if they're, if they're the kind of, to break the law, they're going to break the law regardless.
Tate Brown
Prison fundamentally isn't a deterrent. It's just, it's about incapacitation.
Tim Pool
Yeah, well, I mean, it's literally about taking the most violent people in our society off the streets and moving and, and isolating the rest.
Tate Brown
That's why, like, when they plea insanity, it makes no sense. They're like, I'm too insane to go to jail. It's like, no, you're like the person.
Eliyahu
That needs to go to jail.
Dave Landau
Right.
Eliyahu
Perfect candidate to go to jail.
Tate Brown
You're too Insane to sit in court all day.
Dave Landau
Well, then you should be put on lithium and locked up.
Tim Pool
Yeah, definitely. Take. Taken off the streets.
Dave Landau
Well, I also think if you look at, like, look at a 14 year old and then look at high school and think about how long that was for you. Think of the idea of the, like, you don't get how short of a period of time that is in that time frame that's forever for you. You can learn a lesson in that amount of time. It's not like it's now. It's not like you have a grasp of time. Like when you're that old, you still have an opportunity to. To change yourself. And I know a lot of people who have.
Eliyahu
It's beautiful story of redemption.
Dave Landau
Exactly. Beautiful. They are real. Some of them are not. Rudy, that guy, he didn't do. Come on.
Tim Pool
You.
Dave Landau
You nagged somebody until they let you play. And you go around talking about how you did something Rudy didn't do.
Tim Pool
Ruy Rufio, 1804, says, Ahoy, Dave.
Dave Landau
Ahoy.
Tim Pool
I love Norm World. And I'm buying a fuzzy memoir tonight. You are the man.
Dave Landau
Thank you.
Tim Pool
That's your. Your book, correct?
Dave Landau
My book, Party of One. A Fuzzy Memoir.
Tim Pool
Where can they find it?
Dave Landau
They can find it on Amazon.com and the audiobook is coming out at the end of the month.
Tim Pool
Did you do the audiobook?
Dave Landau
Yes, I'm working on it right now.
Tim Pool
Awesome.
Dave Landau
But I'm trying to add some stuff to it so it's not just reading. Make it more. A little bit more unique.
Tim Pool
Ad libbing.
Dave Landau
A little ad libbing. And then I'm gonna. I'm adding a little bit of some music stuff to it.
Tim Pool
Oh, nice.
Dave Landau
And just some sound effects making a little bit different and you know, like police brutality and some other things I went through. But it's about my different arrest stuff that I had to deal with, being locked in a mental hospital, stuff like that. So.
Tate Brown
Okay, nice.
Tim Pool
Bueno. Malio says it's mortgage fraud because he claimed both his California home and Maryland home were both his primary residence. We can live and work in mar. He can live and work in Maryland as a congressman. But he called it his primary for better local, for better loan terms. Yeah, we were talking about that. Look, man, I. I do think that. That they should do everything they can to make his day miserable. I'm not a fan of Adam Schiff. I think that the whole Russia thing was. Was garbage. And he was one of the most guilty of pushing that narrative. So if they want to, you know, make his. His Life miserable because the process is the punishment. I'm all for it.
Dave Landau
He's got gay face.
Tim Pool
He does have gay face.
Eliyahu
They love that in California.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Eliyahu
That's why he's a senator.
Tim Pool
That tastes funny, right?
Eliyahu
Is he straight?
Dave Landau
I don't. I mean, he might pretend to be. There's no way, though. With those cheeks, it looks like he's storing semen for the winter.
Tim Pool
Wyatt Claydenberg says, alad the feds could only convict Al Capone on tax evasion. He murdered people. Sometimes you have to get them on whatever you can.
Eliyahu
Sometimes you just got to get him on mortgage fraud.
Tim Pool
I mean, look. Oh, whatever it.
Eliyahu
That's all you could get. Sometimes you got to take what you could get.
Dave Landau
They also let him out of Alcatraz cuz his brain was rotting from incurable syphilis and he was fishing in his pool.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah.
Dave Landau
It's true.
Tate Brown
That's wild.
Dave Landau
Yeah, True. Nice. Yeah. Can you imagine? And they were all watching them like the feds, and they're like, I don't think we need to watch. There's no way he's pretending all day.
Tim Pool
Awesome. Josh O says, all that remains is a favorite band. Thank you very much, sir. Found Tim cast by your stuff. As a cop, I have enjoyed yalls content. There are some things y' all say about cops I 100 agree with. Love, y'. All. And you too, Dave.
Dave Landau
Thank you.
Eliyahu
That's funny, because I think we trash cops on this show a relative amount. The other day I was on, Tim was like, nypd. Yeah. There are a bunch of commies. So thank you for. We love law enforcement here. Ice you guys are doing.
Tim Pool
Josh is like, yeah, they are, though. So there you go.
Eliyahu
It's a show for you.
Tim Pool
Coffee jerk. 85 says, reanimating a dead teenager just to have them voice over your political views to the public is frigging ghoulish. I'll take 1984 over this S any day. I do think ghoulish is the proper term for that. It's. It's pretty gross.
Dave Landau
Yeah. You should only reanimate a dead teenager for sex.
Eliyahu
Yeah, right?
Dave Landau
I mean, I think we all know that. Yeah.
Tate Brown
I mean, you're kind of preaching to the.
Dave Landau
I mean, 18, but. Yeah. Thank you. I mean, I'm saying under.
Tim Pool
Of course, of course.
Dave Landau
How old was Sean Benet? 18, right?
Tim Pool
I don't know, man.
Dave Landau
If she's not, I better. I got some hard drives to break. Three years of hard work.
Tim Pool
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
Dave Landau
And I do mean hard. That is not a floppy Disk.
Tim Pool
Let's see. Bushido Kai says by that logic if you're pro Israel, you're anti, you're anti Christian. Why don't you ask the average Israeli what they think of Christians? A Jew can't, can be an anti Zionist and not anti Jew. What do you think of Christians? A lot.
Eliyahu
Where'd this guy come from? I love Christians. And the Jewish state exists due to the continued support of Christians. The Christians are the Jews keepers in this planet. There's not enough Jews to be able to do it by ourselves. So if we didn't have, we're definitely not getting the support from Muslims which there are billions of. So you know the Jews and the Israeli state. The state of Israel exists to the the good blessings and hard support from Christians.
Dave Landau
Well and it's pretty clear that they want everyone dead who's not them.
Tim Pool
Who's they?
Dave Landau
Muslim.
Tim Pool
Oh, okay.
Dave Landau
That's not being, I'm not being racist. I'm being just dead accurate to their book. So why would you side with that? That's not, I'm not even saying get rid of them or anything against them. I'm just saying, saying that is the actual goal of the Quran is that they should inherit the earth.
Tate Brown
They have a whole PVP enabled server. They should just stay there, stay out of Europe, stay out of America.
Eliyahu
And the quick tidbit, the way that anti Israel sentiment manifests in our country is mostly from the left thinking that Israel is white and right wing coded. That's the reason why far leftists say Israel because they believe Israel are white people. So I think it's a fascinating, I don't know, coalition we have of some people on the far right and some people on the far left being anti Israel when for all other intents and purposes these people should absolutely hate each other.
Tim Pool
How much crap do you get from like ropers and stuff on the Internet?
Eliyahu
Not, not much. I don't, I mean I just post my journalism too so you know, my reporting I think speaks for itself.
Tim Pool
You don't really interact on the, on the old.
Eliyahu
No, no, I'm not yapping on Twitter. I feel like people posture all day on Twitter. It's brain rotting stuff frankly.
Dave Landau
Isn't the number one name in Ireland Muhammad, I believe. Doesn't that say something?
Tim Pool
I don't know about Ireland, but I.
Tate Brown
Believe that definitely England 100%.
Dave Landau
Yeah. So yeah, you have like Muhammad O'Reilly. I mean that's a problem, right?
Tim Pool
Raymond, Raymond G. Stanley Jr. Says killer show. Dave is leading the revolution.
Dave Landau
Oh, thank you. So I Don't know where that's going. Who are we going after before we go? McDonald's?
Tim Pool
All right, well, listen, share the show with your friends, everyone you know. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know.
Dave Landau
Can I pimp a thing real quick?
Tim Pool
Yeah, absolutely. We're about to get there.
