Odoo Modern Management Made Simple. In a viral post on X, Candace Owens says she is convinced she has received information that she believes proves Turning Point USA has betrayed Charlie Kirk. What does that really mean, betrayed? Well, she's implied that there's multinational organizations involved in the assassination. There's Israelis, the French Foreign Legion, and with this latest post, the implication a lot of people took away is that they were involved in some way in the murder of Charlie Kirk, which, considering what we've seen already over the past couple of months, most people just believed. That's the insinuation she's been desperately trying to make. Which is really funny because so many people come out and go, she never said that. It's like, dude, come on the Post. That she's made the claims that she's making. In another claim, I believe this was today's episode, she said that one of the individuals, a higher ranking individual at Turning Point, lost millions of dollars when they didn't do a deal with Bibi Netanyahu. You add all these things together, she's painting a picture of Turning Point, angry that Charlie wouldn't work with Israel, was turning on Israel. So Turning Point betrayed him because they lost money and had him killed. And they used French Foreign Legion or whatever to do it. I gotta be honest. Well, I'll save the overt commentary for the show, but the insinuation that you're seeing across X the implication she's making, they were involved in the murder of Charlie Kirk, which I'm just gonna say outright, I think is silly, but we'll talk about that. And there's a. There's a bunch of actually important news. The Washington Post claimed that Hegseth Secretary of War ordered the killing of survivors of a drone strike as they were clinging to a boat for dear life. And the New York Times said that that's never happened. They actually checked with five different sources independent of each other, and they all said Hegseth just gave an order to strike the boats and left. So why did the Washington Post lie? Because they are now claiming in the press formally that the actions taken by Trump's administration are illegal and, and the orders given are illegal. At the same time, Mark Kelly, Alyssa Slotkin and many of the Democrats have told the military to defy illegal orders. This is why they are putting out these lies. They are factionalizing our military. And, well, you all know what I think about that, so we'll talk about that. Plus some silly stories. Sabrina Carpenter is all mad because the White House used her song. Oh, cry more about it, lady. But before we get into all that, we got some great sponsors, my friends. We got Tax Network usa, my friends. The IRS needs more money. Your money.

Welcome back sir. Who are you? What do you do?
Nick Freitas
Well, I'm currently in the Virginia House of Delegates, although I'm not seeking re election which given the last election results I probably A good move. But yeah, no host of Making the Argument and the why minutes and other, you know, snarky mug compilations on on social media.
Tim Pool
Right on. Well, it's always great to have you, so welcome back. It's gonna be fun. We got a lot hanging out.
Eliyahu
Good evening everybody. I am a lot Eliyahu White House correspondent here at Tim cast. What's up, Phil?
Tim Pool
Hello everybody.
Phil Labonte
My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer the heavy metal and all that remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter revolutionary. Let's get into it and real quick.
Tim Pool
Just one more quick promo. This Saturday at 9am at Hollywood Charlestown, I will be playing poker with professional poker player Faraz Jaka. Y' all are welcome to come and play. I imagine the tables are going to be full up super quick, so if you show up, it's you. You might just end up playing with some other people. But we will be there. It's kind of a meetup game, I guess, and it's going to be a lot of fun. We didn't know if we want to announce that we were going to be, we were going to be having this game, but I figure, hey, show up and let's see if we can pack this poker room. But let's get into this story here from Raw Story. Charlie Kirk was betrayed. Right winger turns on Turning Point leadership after murder. Candace has, I would just describe it as officially gone for I don't know, would you describe this, the kill shot on Turning Point usa. She is not just implying that they were involved in the murder of Charlie Kirk, but that everybody should get a refund. And she's trying to get them to pull their donations. She tweets. I received information last night that put the final pieces together for me. I now can say with full confidence that I believe Charlie Kirk was betrayed by the leadership of Turning Point USA and some of the very people who eulogized him on stage. Yes, I will be naming names and providing evidence for my claims. And I'm making a personal plea to every well meaning person who donated to this godforsaken organization to request a refund. You were lied to and leadership knew. Oh boy. Candace is doing everything she can to destroy the Turning Point usa And then we have, where do we, we have this video? Evan Kilgore posted it. Candace Owens just said a close family friend of Andrew Colvett allegedly reached out to her and said that Andrew told them he lost out of millions when Charlie rejected the deal with Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this year. Let me play the clip for you from her show. It's a minute long. We just can't all be hanging out in Delaware. And there's one more thing that came in regarding Andrew Colvett.
T-Mobile Representative
Very close family friend of Andrew Colvett had messaged me early on.
Tim Pool
And I again, was not tracking any of this at the time. But they had said that they felt that Andrew Colvett was acting weird. And I'm sure that's not a big deal. Like, we were all acting weird. Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
T-Mobile Representative
But moreover, they had mentioned that specifically.
Tim Pool
Andrew had told them that when Charlie.
T-Mobile Representative
Said no to Bibi, he lost out on millions.
Tim Pool
Now I'm gonna say allegedly, cause this is a tip. But I have that tip in writing. I'm not lying to you.
T-Mobile Representative
And I thought to myself, that is so weird.
Tim Pool
How could the spokesperson at Turning Point USA be on the. How could they be gaining millions from that? What's the. What is the. What is the structure here of these contracts that even people that are in pr, people that are, like running PR departments are getting tips on the basis of donations?
T-Mobile Representative
I don't know how this is working, but we need to figure out how this is working.
Tim Pool
I think it's really important that we learn the truth about what happened. Who's Pierre? Is it Pierre?
T-Mobile Representative
To Pierre. And has Turning Point been paid?
Tim Pool
Obviously, it wouldn't be on this year's taxes. You're not gonna find those on this.
T-Mobile Representative
Year'S taxes, but they would be on next year's. But we can ask now.
Tim Pool
You know, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, and we were talking about how the average reading level in the United States is around, like, seventh grade. And I think she first had the eighth grade. And I was like, you know, this is funny because this is. This just came up on Tim Cast IRO the other night. I think it's actually around seventh grade. And then I was like, I double checked because we pulled up the data and it's. It actually ranges from between fifth to eighth grade. So it's like sixth, seventh grade reading level. And if I don't think Candice is stupid, I think she's actually super intelligent. I think she's a genius. And what I mean by that is not that she's a good person, but I believe that she is extremely aware of. She is quick to learn and understand what she is doing. That's why I think what she's doing is amoral, is wrong, it's immoral. Because the way she just phrased all of that to imply that there was some illicit deal with Andrew Colvitt in Israel. It's exactly what she's been doing. And I'm gonna say this much to the. I suppose it'll sound elitist and insulting, but the people of low reading comprehension who can't parse through the manipulations, they believe this. Let me, I, I said, I was sitting, I was, I was at the poker room over the weekend and there were these young guys who were like, did you hear that Candace is in hiding now because it, because Israel. And like they're trying to kill her over this Charlie stuff. And I said, you mean how she posted her show was off the air for the week because it was Thanksgiving? And they were like, she didn't say that. I'm like, yeah, she didn't say anything. It was vague. That's what she does. Vagaries. So that you connect the dots and, and you can believe whatever it is you want to believe without her actually having said anything. So let me put it like this. If Andrew Colvin is working in a nonprofit or literally anybody works in a nonprofit, often you get commissions on. It's called development. If you bring in a large donor, you, you will get a commission that is completely normal at nonprofits. You may not like it. People may say I think it's wrong that you get a commission on donations. But nonprofits are the same as any other business. So executive directors at nonprofits at big ones are going to make million dollar salaries. And it is honestly think it's stupid that people get mad about this because if you want CEO level talent, you have to pay CEO level wages. Usually it's not going to be identical. You know, I think Charlie was getting, I think they say it was around a million bucks between the four. Between four different nonprofits. And he was worth substantially more than that. His show alone was probably bringing way more anyway. But if Colvette or literally anybody was organizing some kind of deal, be it with Netanyahu or anyone else, now you can argue that in of itself is wrong. But getting a commission on, on, on, on a donation is actually fairly routine for big organizations. Especially when someone is working, they call it development. So the insinuation now is that Turning Point USA killed Charlie. But the, the sledgehammer of course is when she says everybody should request a refund from this organization. Now obviously y' all know that, you know, we have the minorist of drama issues with Turning Point. We're not going to be there at Amfest. But it is what it is. I ain't crying about it. I. I've, you know, I talk to these guys relatively often, so whatever. But the idea that you would try to destroy them and get everybody to pull their donations using the insinuation they murdered Charlie Kirk is evil. It's evil.
Nick Freitas
I. My whole thing with. With this, because I. I get asked about what do you think about what Candace did or what's like, look, I got no problem with people that want to question the official nar. No problem. You know, I. I got questions about the whole, you know, 30 out 6 caliber and is this really gonna, you know, do the damage? Etc. Sure. What I don't understand, though, and I wrote it to someone this way once. I said, if I spent my entire life building an organization that I truly believed in and I built a life with the, you know, my wife, who I absolutely loved. And somebody came out and started making accusations that both the organization that I built and dedicated my life to and the woman I dedicated my life to were somehow complicit in my murder. I would hope. I would hope that they had real receipts before they were. Before they were willing to put my wife or my organization, my life's work on the line for that. Again, you can ask all you want, but I would hope before people would believe that you would actually be bringing something fairly concrete.
Phil Labonte
Has Candace.
Tim Pool
Man, I. I'd hope that. Well, I can only imagine that if. Slash, when I die, I got a lot of text messages with people that can be made to. You know, I wonder if I could like you. You could take any text message from me to anybody else and make it sound crazy. Let me see if I can. Morning, Zoe. Got donuts.
T-Mobile Representative
Jeff Bridges, why are you still living above our garage?
Phil Labonte
Well, I dig the mattress and I want to be in a T mobile commercial like you.
Tim Pool

T-Mobile Representative

I'm gonna, I'm gonna. What? Hold on. What is this? What is, what is this?
Phil Labonte
I'm sure that there are sufficient text messages in my phone that would do me in.
Tim Pool
I'm trying to find a text from Phil that's not really, like, bad. It's kind of vague.
Phil Labonte
Just hard Rs, straight hard Rs all the time.
Tim Pool
I mean, there's just the N word, like crazy. I don't want to read any of those. No, but, like, I'm not gonna read anything explicitly, but, like, point I'm making is I just pulled up the text I have with Phil, and here's one. Hey, Tim, thanks again for today. When you get a chance, can you shoot me Chad's number? And then all I have to do is go. Here's a message from Phil. Chad, I remember that day when we were all hanging out. It was so sad. And, you know, Phil looked at me and he said, brother, we're in this together. And I went, I'm right there with you, man. That's what she's doing. She's just showing, like, any random text, and it's just, it's, it's, it's really gross.
Phil Labonte
How much, like, how much stuff is she actually shown?
Tim Pool
I'm not following. So I, I, I don't, I, I can't say that I've watched every episode she's ever done, but I watched her show today. And what I will say is when everyone, I, I, I've watched a handful of her shows. I've watched the ones that are relevant to what we're, you know, what's been going on, but I don't follow all of it. And then I always hear people be like, she's not claiming Turning Point was involved. And I'm like, then you didn't watch the show where she was like, inside job. That's how I feel. I have no. What else can you think? Yeah, and the fact that she says.
Phil Labonte
Things like she's the caveat's always. That's how I feel. And, and it's not any kind of, of actually substantial evidence. It's all implication. And she's covering her tracks by Saying, this is how I feel. I. I hate the whole thing, like, from top to bottom, all of the stuff that's. That the. All of the people talking about Charlie's murder, post Charlie's murder.
Nick Freitas
It's.
Phil Labonte
It all just seems like, you know, sharks in the water looking to pick up their little bit of. You know, I have to say this.
Tim Pool
But I'm not going to say who told me it. But, you know, this issue, of course, comes up in these private circles. I get asked by a lot of people I meet who know who I am. The first thing they ask me about is Candace and what she said about Turning Point. And I have to be like, let's just stop and analyze what she said and like, you tell me what you think. But someone today was talking to me about it, and they were just like, you know, Candace has made a lot of insinuations in this latest one with, like, Andrew Colvette losing millions of dollars. Like, the implication that he's going after Charlie, whatever. And then this person I'm talking to goes like, you know, he's not a chess player. And that's like the nicest way of saying, with all due respect to Colvette, that he doesn't have the capability to plot something of this. I'm not trying to be a dick, but like, the insinuation that their spokesperson had the capability to map out this plan involving the French Foreign Legion and Israeli spies and, like, getting security pulled from the roof, just all of that's required. Now, I gotta be honest. I've worked with security companies where I've met people who you can tell have that capability, and I'm sure you have, too.
Nick Freitas
It's not as easy as people want to make it out to be.
Tim Pool
It's absolutely not. And any. Any, like we talked about before, like a single janitor walking up to the roof would have ruined the whole thing. So there's all these little nooks and crannies. You have to.
Eliyahu
You have to.
Tim Pool
That have to be available. And that's why I think it is actually very strange when this. When. When Charlie security was like, we just. The police said it was okay, you know, it was fine. They got it. And I'm like, nah, that. That don't add up. Like, security companies don't just be like, we know there's roof access, and we're not going to put an old lady knitting in front of the door. Like, you have an old lady knitting in front of the door and Charlie's alive. So that does not add up. I mean, and you know, Occam's razor, Hanlon's razor, it's just a very, very awful security company. But to then go and insinuate that the people who are made rich by Charlie turned on him. You know, the, the comments that I made before that got them upset with me was that I said there are people at Turning Point that fear they can't make it without Charlie.
Phil Labonte
And the people at Turning Point, like they all, they all stood to make significantly more money with Charlie at the helm than after Charlie's passed away.
Tim Pool
But who, Real quick, but that's correct. Now who stands to make the most money from this story?
Phil Labonte
Currently, it seems like Candace Owens, indeed.
Tim Pool
Talking about how she's the biggest podcast connecting this with the McCrones to tie it to the Bridget McCrone is a man thing. I got to be honest, right now we're looking at dropping CPMs for political content. I was having conversation. You know, it's kind of a vague thing to say because I don't want to drag other prominent personalities, but let me just say this. I routinely talk with Jack Posobec and Benny Johnson and Steven Crowder and a bunch of these guys, as well as ad bookers, buyers. We have these conversations all the time. And you know what I, you know what I can say, this one I have no problem actually mentioning. I was talking with Jeremy Hambly from the quartering and because he's made several videos talking about the decline of political content viewership, CPMs. And I told him, I was like, well, look, I gotta be honest, there were some people who came up to Tate, producer Tate, and mentioned like, how come Tim's views are still good, like everyone else is dropping. And I'm like, well, you know, our viewership has gone down for sure in the season, but you know, my morning show's doing pretty much the same as it always has, minus like I was sick or like off for holidays. And so they asked these questions. I was talking to Jeremy Hamley about it and I said, look, I gotta be honest. How evil are you willing to be? Is the question. And when we're at the end of, we're coming off the back year of this election season, it was abnormally large this year. It's supposed to be a dead year completely. After every election, everyone says turn it off, I don't want politics. And we actually got to squeeze some out of it. Cuz Donald Trump was doing making bold moves. But now we're getting the holiday season and people are like, okay, enough. I want to hear about why the Bears are actually. Bears are in first place. Is that what's going on in the NFL?
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Eliyahu
In the NFC East. Is it?
Tim Pool
I have no idea. I don't know.
Eliyahu
The Vikings are having a doo doo season.
Tim Pool
All I know is my buddies from Chicago are like, can you believe that the Bears are actually like leading? And I was like, is that true? That's what people care about right now. But I said, listen, there's two things you can do. What most people do is they try to figure out what kind of content can I make that people actually are interested in. You know, we are in the business of trying to inform an audience on what they want, but also not just giving them red meat. Right. The point is, can I cover new subjects you are interested in? So what we found inadvertently is that space weather stuff does.
Phil Labonte
There's a nine and three.
Tim Pool
Nine and three, Right. It's massive.
Phil Labonte
Very good.
Tim Pool
Seriously. And so. But anyway, when we talk about space weather and the auroras, we get massive viewership. But we don't just do that because we think we'll get massive viewership. We actually, we're all genuinely interested. You know, Shane's here and he's talking about it. And then I've interviewed Ben Davidson before. And so, you know, again, telling Jeremy, I was like, you can do things like that and try and figure out you have an audience. They're asking for commentary. Are you providing the commentary they're asking for or you do a Candace does and show old taxman going back 2018. You can make vague insinuations that they can't sue you over and then be vague enough to where people think there's a grand conspiracy and do a true crime drama where you accuse the French first lady of having a dong and you will get millions of views and you will make lots of money for which now I think it's, I don't know, a fortune is saying that she makes around 10 million a year. And I just, I'd estimate more than that.
Eliyahu
So that's to say you don't think she's just ignorant. You think she's with malice for financial gain and social media clicks.
Tim Pool
Malice in the legal sense. I think that she is fully cognizant of what she's doing. And I, I do not say it lightly that I think she's a genius. Right. You know, it reminds me of that Harry Potter line where Snape says, you know, Dumbledore is a great wizard and Bellatrix, it's all mad. He's like, he is a great wizard and only a fool. Yeah, Candace Owens is ridiculously smart. I've told the story. I went on her show when she's Daily Wire and I was shocked by how quick witted, intelligent and well read she was. Even before the show, she, she knew all like current news. I'm like, she must be reading nearly as much news as I do to know what she knows and to put these dots together, she's very, very intelligent. So when I see the things she's saying and I know these techniques in manipulation, like when she said, I'll be off the air this week. As an update, I've. The White House has confirmed receipt of the assassination plot against me. It's manipulative language intentionally to trick people into thinking she's going into hiding because of an assassination plot.
Nick Freitas
And I saw an account today that's following all this and they say, well, the White House has confirmed the threat. No, the White House confirmed receipt indeed of the threat. That this is an important distinction. This isn't minor. And again, I go back, I have not, I have not spent any time on any of my show or my social media going after Candace Owens for any of this stuff. Right. I'm like, whatever. But my issue comes down to, okay, fine, once again, if you're going to make this sort of accusations, if it were me, if you were making these accusations about people I loved, I would want more evidence than what you're presenting. The other thing that I don't understand is this. If you honestly believe that you are, you have uncovered something that could potentially blow the lid off of one of the most consequential conspiracies. And I don't say conspiracy pejoratively, I mean into the actual word and what the word means. What? Okay, look, I've done a little intel analysis in my, in my life where I was tracking terror cells. My father was a homicide detective and he will tell you that if you really do have all of these sources that are providing you information, every time you go out there and publicly talk about private sour is close to people that are doing it, you essentially destroy that source's ability to give you future information because now they lose access and placement as the organizations that you're investigating shut down. So my, my question is this for anybody that is, is again, just genuinely interested in this. And you know, again, there's plenty to be interested in. If, if your goal is really to get to the truth, to the bottom of what happened, what really happened with Charlie, if that is, if that, why would you go about doing it this way as an investigation. I know why you would do it as a content creator. I don't know why you would do it as someone that's trying to get to the bottom of, again, a horrific crime.
Tim Pool
You know, I watched her show today. It's very female coded and that means she talked a lot about Charlie's clothing and it was very much like Charlie was trying to find something to wear. And I said, you can't wear that jacket. And it's very emotional, social female coding. Guys don't talk or think this way. And that's why she also has the Stanley, you know, thermos or whatever. It's a. It's a very female trendy thing. And it's been reported previously that it's she's she and Brett Cooper and others. It's the womanosphere, right? The trad wife, prominent conservative women. It's a true crime drama and it plays really, really well among women. Oh, hey. Welcome to gift wrapping. Whoa. So we Saldana.
T-Mobile Representative
Hey, can you wrap these, please?

Eliyahu
Sounds like my family drama.
T-Mobile Representative
Oh, I got it. I'll give it to my abuela. I'll take reindeer paper with. Hey, where are you going?

Visit T mobile.com and I think that's that's the place is making. But let's jump to the story from fortune. Hey, a lot of a lot of big news about Candace Inside the economics of Candace Owens media empire and the McCrone lawsuit threatening to unravel it. Oh boy. Let's talk about nitty gritty inside stuff because I got information. So they say. Five years ago, Candace Owens was a mid tier political operative working for Charlie Kirk's Turning Point usa. Now she's a globally famous conservative fire brand with one of the fastest growing independent media platforms in the US Raking in cash through controversy. But the same contrarian playbook that launched her solo career now threatens the media empire she built. Her company generates up to $10 million in revenues per year according to an analysis by Fortune. Implying that the company's valuation would be multiples of that I would actually estimate. It's, it's a broad estimation, but I think 10 million is low. 10 million makes sense if all she is doing is sponsor spots. But if she's doing anything else outside of that. So if you want to talk about just her podcast perhaps. I guess I'll say this because I've said it before but we do more than that. And you know, I guess the difference is I do like five different shows so it's more granular where she has one big show, we have a bunch of smaller shows. So maybe. But I think she probably does closer to 20, 20 million or so. But who knows, who knows. Revenues are down, although her show seems to be doing very well. They're now talking about this massive lawsuit. The conservative podcast there and Provocateur is facing a high stakes defamation lawsuit filed by French President Emmanuel macron and Bridget McCrone, the first lady. The suit is set to test whether the controversy as currency oeuvre that made is that you pronounce that of oeuvre? I have no idea. That made Owens rich and gave her a media brand that reaches tens of millions of people can survive what experts say will be an immensely costly legal battle. The 219 page complaint filed in Delaware Superior Court in July of 2025 accuses Owens of orchestrating a campaign of global humiliation by promoting the conspiracy theory that Bridget McCrone was born male. The plaintiff's weapon of choice, Claire Lock the the firm that has extracted a record shattering 787.5 million settlement from Fox News on behalf of Dominion, the largest media defamation pat in American history. The McCrones vehemently deny Owen's allegations. Owens has vowed to fight the suit. Interestingly, the suit alleges that spreading false information is essentially Owens business model. The complaint names three defendants. Candace Owens personally, Candace Owens llc, her Delaware company and George Tom Inc. Presumably named after her husband George Farmer, who is directly involved in the business and operates her website and podcast distribution. In naming all three parties, the suit takes aim not only at Owens personally, but also her entire known business infrastructure. She won't win. She will not win this. Uh, I can't say that I'm psychic or that everything I say is gonna come true, but she won't. I will say with, you know. You know, look, I'm willing to make predictions and try and make vague predictions. You know, maybe at this time, something like this would happen, but who knows? I could be wrong with this. I'll say she will lose for two big reasons. Bridget McCrone is not a man. It's not so much whether Richard McCrone is a man or is not. I mean, who knows? Maybe.
Phil Labonte
I guess I don't need proof.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I don't want proof. The issue is it's kind of a bold, ridiculous, and hard to prove thing that is gonna land on defamation, per se, which is. It is so humiliating and damning because it's not just that Bridget Perone is a man, but apparently Candace has also insinuated it's a pedophilic network or something. Or at least that's what people are posting online saying, it's not just about this. There's more here. That. And apparently there's some reporting that. That Candace has claimed Bridget McCrone may be Emmanuel McCrone's dad. Yeah, but that makes no sense because Bridget McCrone is much smaller. But whatever, I guess. But here's the real reason. When the French government says, we're going to your courts, the way the world works is not some rigid contractual letter of the law math. People can consistently fall for this. They believe that. You know, there's a viral clip. I watched the Thomas Crown Affair where Pierce Brosnan signs the contract, and then they start busting out laughing like, we got you. And then he gets up and says, now explain to your board why you paid 30 million more than everyone else offered. And they look all shocked. But the thing is, if you ever signed a contract and then as soon as you signed it, the guy started laughing, saying, they got you, that contract is not gonna be binding. You're not gonna go into a court, and the judge is gonna be like, was there something in the contract you didn't read? Be like, yeah, we absolutely did not agree that I'd signed over power of attorney. That judge is going to be like, okay, contract is out. Just. Just by. It's. It's the stupidest idea. So here's what really matters. When the French government says, we want to stop Candace, this I I imagine what happens is, you know, Candace has claimed Trump called her and told her, like, you know, maybe you got to back off the story or whatever. Okay, if the. If the. If the McCrones were actually trying to stop Candace, likely. I think the most likely scenario is they call the State Department and they say, this is causing us problems in our country, and we don't want these tensions. And the State Department says, what can we do about it? And then all that needs happen is Emmanuel Macron says, listen, we are telling you to make it stop however you can, and if you don't, there's gonna be problems. And France is massive. So it's not like France can control what the United States does, but the US has to negotiate with France, has to cut deals with France, has to. Has to work with France and NATO, and they don't want problems, and it's stupid. So likely, what I'd imagine happens, State Department says, file a lawsuit, go through the normal route, and we'll make sure you win. I don't see a reality where Candace goes up against the French government and the US Backs her over a NATO ally.
Eliyahu
So here's the thing here. Candace Owens is clearly an extremely savvy media operator. She is very charismatic. Some people would even say she's easy on the eyes. She is also a good DEI commentator for right wingers to put on this sort of pedestal. And, you know, it's really unfortunate that she's really willing to peddle bullshit and rumors and spin up fake narratives to try to get clicks. It seems. It's clear to me that she has an ax to grind. I don't think this is just ignorance. I think what she knows, she knows that she's spreading stuff that is bs, but she believes it will get her clicks. And I believe somebody wronged her in the past, and she is trying to, like, avenge that.
Phil Labonte
So you think that it's an ax to grind as opposed to just trying to capitalize on what is a hot story?
Eliyahu
It's a few. I think it's both. And also, this gives her endless amounts of attention. This lawsuit may cost her a lot of money, but her husband is allegedly worth over 200 million. He has a lot of family money, and he's, I believe, allegedly the former CEO of Parler. So, you know, the amount of attention that this is giving her, you know, she knew that this. I don't know if she believes what she's alleging about Bridget McCrone, but I think she does know that'll bring her a ton of attention. It's a transvestigation of obviously, like, you know, a very prominent woman, a prominent European leader's wife.
Phil Labonte
Do you have evidence that she's a woman?
Eliyahu
The evidence was that or the evidence that she was a man was from two French bloggers or something. And they just had a couple of pictures of them of her looking like a man, allegedly. But I think as far as the, the media savviness goes, though, if you're trying to get your name out there, you want a lot of, to put a lot of bullshit out there and then have them get mad at you and sue you because, like, this is the Streisand effect at hand. And then I think there's also to say something to say about all the other bullshit she pedals because she's been pushing a lot of dumb stuff for a while. She actually said Stalin was Jewish. I don't know if you guys remember that Lyndon Johnson. Something about the Frankists. I mean, there's a long list of.
Tim Pool
Random that Lyndon Johnson was Jewish. Listen.
Eliyahu
And then I think she was also a flat earther for a little bit. If I pedal. Whatever. And then. I'm sorry, one last thing. She'll get like, messages or alleged tips and just, I don't know, won't vet them at all. For example, earlier, when she said something about like a text message about Andrew Colvay allegedly getting money, it's just like, yeah, somebody texted me this and that's like, that's it. Well, somebody could text you anything. Like, I have a source that says such and such a lot. But if there's no vetting, I want.
Phil Labonte
Her number so I can text her.
Nick Freitas
About the ice wall?
Tim Pool
Hey, hey, can you text me right now that you think Candace works for Israel so that I can then say on the air, I've just received a tip that Candace works for Israel?
Eliyahu
Yeah, it's ridiculous. There's no vetting. And it's just like, some people are dumb enough where the rhetoric, the way she phrases things could come off like, to a, to an unmedia savvy person, like, oh, this is convincing.
Tim Pool
This is, this is basic manipulative rhetoric, social engineering where you say things so that the other person makes an assumption and then you can't be held liable for it. And you always have plausible deniability. That's. That's the game she's playing. That's why everyone keeps pointing out she's making insinuations. And then people go, she never said that. No, but she said 80 things where the sudoku puzzle concludes Well, I wish.
Nick Freitas
I wish at some point people would think about this from the standpoint of, okay, if somebody was saying this about you, would you think to yourself, oh, well, they didn't say me, or would you think they're obviously implying me? And all I want from this, especially because there's a lot of conservatives watching. This is, do, do we still believe in like standards of truth? Do we still believe in like objective standards?
Phil Labonte
We are in a post truth society.
Eliyahu
Not if it confirms my priors. If it confirms my priors, then it does not matter if it is.
Tim Pool
But this, this is the point of vagaries.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
If someone believes, you know, five untruths and you come out and say something that is incongruous with their worldview, they reject you. But if you say something very vague, let them fill the dots in, you're correct. And that's how she builds mass audience, by being correct to everybody. Because she's actually not saying anything specific. She's letting people fill in the gaps of what they want to believe. What I do want to say real quick though, you know, if I were to say Bridget McCrone is a hog, okay, I can't be sued by the French government for that. But when you say that Bridget Macron's a man, you're getting into defamation per se territory where you are accusing someone of some kind of. It's something disgusting and humiliating which is inherently in and of itself detrimental to you, your life or whatever. I think she's going to get Alex jonesed, but I think they're going to come, they're going to take everything from her. I, I can't understand what she thinks the long term play is. That's why I can't, I can't, I don't.
Eliyahu
Well, her husband's rich. I don't think she's, she's financially secure, no matter what.
Tim Pool
They're married. He's on the, on the hook too. They're going to go for him. He's going to, his company's in named in the lawsuit.
Phil Labonte
I wonder if he.
Tim Pool
Well, presumably they say, I wonder if.
Phil Labonte
The British government would protect him if he's.
Tim Pool
Aren't they based in the us I don't know.
Phil Labonte
But if he's a lord, if he, if he's somehow involved.
Nick Freitas
I don't, I don't know. I don't know how, I don't know how, how passionate Keir Starmer is about. I don't imagine about the peerage in the uk.
Tim Pool
Would it be like really funny if just like the UK and France go to war for the first time in like 800 years because Candace called Bridget McCrone a man.
Eliyahu
I think one of the reasons why.
Phil Labonte
This is so, Yes, I think the.
Eliyahu
Reason why this is so important is because this actually, I think like conspiracy driving conspiracies really drives draws away from people dealing with like, legitimate politics that they could have the potential to influence. So instead of learning about your local congressperson or what they're doing in the House and Senate, or what's going on in the Supreme Court, no, we're paying attention to whether or not Bridget Macron has a cock or whether or not Charlie Kirk was murdered by Israel.
Tim Pool
Although baselessly though, that, that's, I have a correction too. I should say start the first war in 200 years. Sorry, it hasn't been that long. They've actually fought not that long ago. But I, I, I to what you are saying, Elad, this is the point about declining viewership and ad rates may, maybe it's fair to say that candace actually does 10 million because no advertiser really wants to be on a show about Bridget Macron having a dong. Advertisers want to be on normal content. They want to be on sports. Everybody's watching, they're relaxing, nothing's offensive. You know, it's just fun stuff. And, you know, perhaps when she makes this kind of weird content, she gets more views, she does make more money than the average political commentator, but the CPMs are actually still very low.
Nick Freitas
The thing that has always struck me about this, I remember when Candace first started making these claims and I was like, okay, you know, like, look, I remember a time where I watch a lot of things Candace was doing and appreciated her commentary and appreciated her contributions to the conservative movement. If she's very convinced, I, I just would like to see substantial evidence to back it up. And, and again, I, I really thought, I had really thought that the majority of sympathy in this entire case was going to be for Erica. And what is, what has shocked me is I feel like it isn't. And, and again, if you're, if you're going to, if you're going to imply, going to insinuate that Erica, if she wasn't directly involved, knew something about it, let it go, is, is, is hiding truth or whatever it is, just please show me something significant to justify that. Because again, I go back to, I think about this from my perspective. If somebody did this to my wife after I was gone, I would be furious. Unless they could actually produce hard evidence.
Tim Pool
The last thing I'LL say on this before we go to the next story is she will never be sued by Turning Point. Turning Point usa. Oh, boy, do they have grounds to sue Candace Owens. But they're not going to. They're not going to because the law doesn't work to, to, to protect you or any meaningful way. Like I told us before, that we had someone commit a crime on our property and then threaten us. They got arrested and charged, and then they threatened to use the legal process through this criminal charge almost like it was intentional to exploit it and gain access to private information and other information. And they made the argument that in order for our defense, we need access to private information. And we were like, okay, drop the charges. Then we're. We're not going to. We can't. And so here's what happens. If Turning Point were to sue Candace Owens, there would be depositions and discovery, and they'd be required to turn over certain communications which I'd imagine are going to be embarrassing. And depending on the context, they can be incriminating over certain issues. I'm not saying in the killing of Charlie Kirk or anything like that, but there's going to be conversations about donors, things that she will then use on her show.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And it will give her a year's worth of content. So they can do nothing about her saying any of this stuff, and she'll just keep saying it. And the fascinating thing is she's. She's been able to get more than 2 months of content out of saying nothing. No evidence. No real.
Nick Freitas
Can we, can we distinguish something? Because I hear people the same. She brings the receipts. She has the evidence. Like, okay, what. Well, let's look at what. What do you consider to be evidence? So if you look at flight logs and you say these flight logs are interesting. Okay. You could present that as. That is evidence of what? Yeah, like, that's the, that's what I want. I can, I can. I can essentially conjure up just about anything as evidence of something suspicious.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah.
Nick Freitas
But there's a big difference between I find this to be suggestive or I find this to be interesting versus this proves X. And, and that's the part that I, I'm seeing people throw around this word evidence as if it's proof of something that it isn't proof of. It might be interesting if you connect certain dots. It may be. It meet whatever, but it's not evidence. And I guarantee. I guarantee you nobody here would want to be convicted in a court of law based off of the evidence that has been presented, you would be furious. You would think it was a huge miscarriage of justice. And yet I'm watching people say, well.
Tim Pool
See, I have a question for all the Candace fans out there. It's an honest question, you know, and I've, I asked this question a couple times before, but why is it that she has a huge podcast and she's not getting banned? Nick Fuentes got banned on Spotify, not her. She's, she's number one. She's on the front page of YouTube recommendations for everybody who subscribes. She gets millions of views. She gets massive live viewership. I thought, you know, it's actually her own words that if you criticize Israel, you'll get suspended, banned and censored, but not her. Why is it that the person who claims that Charlie was betrayed is actually the one trying to destroy his legacy in the company that he built, Turning Point? You know, Andrew Colvette and Erica and the rest, you know, Tyler Bowyer and the rest of them at Turning Point are fighting as hard as they can to keep Turning Point alive. You don't gotta like Turning Point. I'm not saying they're good or great. I mean, they were under Charlie. I think they were fantastic. As to where they are now, we'll see what happens. Obviously we're not going to be there. So, you know, I'm not, It's not like I've got, I'm happy with the direction it's going, but she's actively trying to destroy Charlie Kirk's legacy. So the question is, who really betrayed Charlie Kirk? Well, because if, if Charlie were still around, like, if Charlie could speak, do you think he'd be like, oh, gee, thanks, Candace. Thank you for telling all the donors to abandon Turning Point usa.
Nick Freitas
Well, here's my, here's my. I'll put it differently. Candace Owens, based off of what she's done here and what she's been know putting out there, Candace Owens, there's only one of two possible options. She is either Charlie Kirk's greatest friend who stood up to everybody when they called her a liar, or they called her psycho that she was. She is either that or she is a horrible, betraying villain in this story.
Tim Pool
Go with that one.
Nick Freitas
That's maybe so, but my, you see what I'm saying? That's the point. I, I'm seeing a lot of people analyze this. It's like, wait a second. No, no, no. If you look at the claims that she's made, it's one of the two. It's one of the Two.
Eliyahu
Yeah, it really breaks down on one issue though. I feel like, I feel like if you have how you feel about one particular issue really prescribes how you. Whether or not you think she is a villain or not. I don't even need to say the issue, but you could tell she's laser focused on it and she'll drag it into everything else. So it really begs the question because she used to have a great relationship with the Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro and then that had to happen for one reason or another. And, and the same thing with Turning Point. She hasn't been to Am Fest for years, as I understand. She hasn't been a speaker or collaborating with Turning Point for years before this happened. You have to wonder what made that fall through and maybe something right, but.
Tim Pool
Let'S just put it like this. I mean, she had. What was it originally? She was like a liberal and she had a doxing site and she was after conservatives and she got criticized for that. But everybody can change, right? Then she had red pill, black and blexit. She. She starts working with the Daily Wire and then has a falling out with them. Then she starts.
Eliyahu
She.
Tim Pool
While she's been working at Turning Point, the same time she has a falling out with them. Then I believe it was the end of 23. She stops doing formal events for them. Remaining Charlie's friend. My, My opinion on everything as it went down is that the reason Charlie stayed friends with Candace was diplomacy. It's actually quite simple. Charlie was very intelligent and he built a coalition and he brought a bunch of different factions together under one umbrella. So when he's texting with Candace and saying, yeah, you know Ben, oh man, I know exactly how he is. He's trying to stop her from raging, from crashing out and causing problems and doing what she's doing now. So Charlie, she's basically removed from Turning Point. She's no longer involved for the most part. But Charlie stays in contact, saying, listen, like we're friends, please don't hurt me. Now that Charlie's gone, she's like, I will destroy everything Charlie has ever built. Let me just stress this. There is no excuse if you like Charlie Kirk and the work that he did, telling everyone to pull their donations is simply to destroy the organization. By all means, you can be angry with Colvette and maybe Erica's leadership, whatever you might think, maybe you think someone else should come in and run it, but the response should be donors should all email and ask for new leadership, not destroy it and pull all your money out. Which which burns Charlie's legacy to the ground. I think if there's anyone who betrayed Charlie Kirk, it is Candace Owens. And she has proven it time and time again.
Nick Freitas
Well, like you said, it would be one thing. If you said, here's all the evidence, Donors pull your money. That would be one thing. But it's. I've got a bunch of evidence. I'm going to do it later. But donors pull all your money right.
Tim Pool
Now before I can prove it.
Eliyahu
The consequences of conservative dei and we're reaping what we sowed.
Tim Pool
Yeah, but. But I'll say it again. I mean, Candace is. Is very smart. I mean, look, man, I think.
Eliyahu
But I guess she could be both at the same time.
Tim Pool
I'm gonna tell a story that's gonna get me in trouble. I don't think I told the story before. I'm. Tell the story to get me in trouble. All right, let's get in trouble. I worked for Vice, and they were for always trying to get this cable channel. I'd gotten some people hired there who are friends of mine who understood social media and live streaming. And I end up leaving the company. But news broke that Vice had gotten a Rogers Telecom deal, or teleco, whatever the word is. This is Canadian cable channel. And congratulations to Vice at the time. This is back in like 2014 or something. Wow. And so my buddy hits me up and he's. He's, you know how things are going, you know, because I left the company. And he says, it's great. I'm going to be doing production for the. For the news show on the cable channel. And I went, really? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, really, though? I mean, you're not. You're not gonna stay where you're at working on, you know, like, domestic news, livestream stuff? And he's like, no, no, I'm doing the new stuff for the. For the cable channel. I was like, so they gonna move you to Toronto or what? And he goes, why would I move to Toronto? And then I said, for the cable channel. And he goes, why would I move to Toronto? And I said, because it's a Rogers Telecom deal for a cable channel. And he goes, dude, what are you talking about? I said, the cable channel's in Canada. So here's what happened. He told me that Shane Smith, the CEO, held a meeting. They had been having conversations throughout the year that they were working on getting a cable channel, and it was their big dream to get a cable channel. And everyone makes an assumption when you hear that, which is.
Nick Freitas
What?
Eliyahu
That he has to move to Canada?
Tim Pool
No, no, no, no. When someone says, I want to start a cable channel, what do you immediately in America.
Phil Labonte
Oh, yes.
Tim Pool
Nobody thinks New Zealand. So. So Shane comes out.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And the story I was told that he comes, he's got all the employees there and he says, we did it. We got our cable channel. Everyone starts cheering and screaming. They immediately start working on production, all under the assumption that they made that he meant we got our American cable channel. So my friend that I helped get hired and is now going, like, I didn't know that. And I said, well, you know what's going to happen if you go to him and say, I don't want to go to Canada. He's going to say, I never said it was in America. That's the manipulative language that you use to keep people in line. You let them believe what they want so they feel good about what's going on. Because if he came out and said, guys, we didn't get the American cable channel. We do have a slow start though. 30 million households in Canada through Rogers Telecom. People would go, that sucks. Instead he says, we did it. It. What does it refer to? That's the, that's the manipulative language used by powerful people. This is what Candace does. So when she comes on her show and says they betrayed Charlie, she's already said it feels like an inside job. So what else could she be insinuating? And then her Diehards with 5th grade reading levels are like, I am going to fill the dots, whatever. I want to be true. So insert. Whether it's France or Israel or Turning Point or the CIA or the Deep State or Netanyahu himself. It was really funny. I had a guy tell me this over the weekend. I, I couldn't, I couldn't tell. He looked like he might have been Pakistan or something. But he said, the Shapiro's killed Charlie. Candace. He said, Candace is right. He's like, I love, I love her show. The Shapiro's did it. And I said, I'm not kidding. I was like, the Shapiro's? Yeah.
Phil Labonte
And I was like one of Ben's kids, right.
Tim Pool
I was like, he didn't know. He didn't mean Ben's family. He meant Ben's extended family.
Nick Freitas
Oh, ok. Yeah.
Tim Pool
But enough of this.
Eliyahu
Let's, let's. Let's talk about some killing for three third to third worldists, Literally.
Tim Pool
Let's jump to this inane story from NBC News. Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using her song in evil and disgusting Social media video. Okay, let's play the evil and disgusting social media.
Nick Freitas
I wasn't probably going to watch it, but I want to see it.
Tim Pool
Let's go.
T-Mobile Representative
Have you ever tried this one? Have you ever tried this one? Have you ever tried.
Tim Pool
Right.
T-Mobile Representative
This one?
Tim Pool
The White House. Is that it?
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Okay, so she's salty. Where's the response? She said this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. She got 834,000 likes, bro. If I've ever seen a ratio, this is the ratio. I mean, she's got 126,000 retweets. 834,000 likes. And I, I gotta be honest, the White House, they try to do a lot of these memes, but I got. They're getting pretty cringe.
Eliyahu
Yeah, I disagree. I think the White House edits have been crazy, especially that Theo Vaugh one, which he was also very big.
Tim Pool
The Franklin one, those. But, but, but to be honest, he didn't make that one up. Have you seen the new Franklin that are going. The Franklins are going viral. Franklin's the new Pepe. My favorite one is Franklin.
Eliyahu
What?
Tim Pool
What is it? It's like Franklin grows tired of, of immigrants acting strange and he's sitting there all like angry and it's like a Mexican fox and like an Arab squirrel or something. Oh, no, bear cub.
Nick Freitas
I like. I went over to the Franklin's page on X and they were talking about how they're really big on, you know, inclusivity and the whole deal. But then they shut off their comments to only people that they allow you to like. Oh, we're not that inclusive.
Phil Labonte
There's a lot of people are talking or she's talking about how it's evil or how it's. It's immoral and whatever. And Sabrina Carpenter has used a lot of set. What people would consider sacrilegious imagery and stuff.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it's.
Phil Labonte
It's a little pot calling the kettle black. You know, she doesn't like the White House used it when it comes to enforcing immigration law, but she's perfectly comfortable with insulting Christians and, And you know, let's talk about the rise out of people.
Tim Pool
Here are the memes that work celebrates kill.
Nick Freitas
Those are. Oh my gosh. I never thought I'd like a Canadian cartoon this much.
Tim Pool
Yeah, let me try and find some more of these.
Phil Labonte
Beautiful.
Tim Pool
Oh, okay, here's. Here's the best one. Franklin grows tired of immigrants and their behavior.
Eliyahu
The Baron of burka.
Nick Freitas
Yeah. You know what?
Tim Pool
I really Love about these though as I was pointing out earlier is that no one knows what turtles look like. He's. It's like he's wearing the shell. Yeah. People need to understand the shell is its spine.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Turtles are like the shell is their spine. They are not wearing the shell. I guess people watch too much Ninja Turtles.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, they do.
Eliyahu
In their behavior.
Phil Labonte
They think that you can, they can actually go inside the shell.
Nick Freitas
Yes.
Phil Labonte
Right.
Nick Freitas
Look. Ninja Turtles was a documentary of Trump giving Franklin the presidential.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it's because Logan hall responded to Kids can press who owns Franklin saying sorry, but Franklin belongs to us now. Look at the. Why is the fox a Mexican? Oh, he's like Mexican. And then you've got this beaver. What is this? Is this like seek? Yeah, that's what I thought. But then what is this? Squirrel.
Nick Freitas
Oh yeah. Maybe this.
Phil Labonte
That's. That's. Yeah, just a regular turban.
Tim Pool
Just a regular turban. And then there's a Muslim bear cub with a briefcase.
Eliyahu
For some reason it's impressive that you noticed that. Noticed that one. As a Sikh there was a Republican congressman who just thought all Siks were also Muslims. Oh, it's cultural nuance that you have there.
Tim Pool
That's actually a really sad, very well known story of a. A Sikh man who was murdered after 911.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Where was that Was like New Mexico or something, right?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He was just like mind been some. Someone thought he was a Muslim and killed him. That's crazy dude. That's horrifying.
Phil Labonte
Stupid people. Unfortunate.
Tim Pool
We got angry Baron stain bears. Here's one. Franklin.
Nick Freitas
Oh, Franklin's been radicalized.
Tim Pool
How is he wearing. Look at the coat. How is he wearing that coat?
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
What is like the shell is hanging like a backpack.
Nick Freitas
Can you suspend reality just a little bit? Just suspend disbelief a little bit.
Eliyahu
The immigrants were learning there too about, about Floyd's autopsy.
Tim Pool
So I guess the White House responded to Sabrina Carpenter. They called her stupid. Is that all that. I. I don't know. What did they post? They posted on the White House or something.
Phil Labonte
I believe it was a big long post too. Look, if you're going to reply, if you're going to, you know, clap back, it can't be long. It can't be some big multiple paragraph reply.
Nick Freitas
It's not a dissertation.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, it's got. That's why your mom works. So. Yeah, your mom.
Nick Freitas
I gotta, I gotta say I've been pretty impressed with, with DHS and, and their, their troll game has been pretty good.
Phil Labonte
I think it's, I think it's Fun.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
There are a lot of people that are. That are all kinds of offended because the. They say that it's beneath the White House, etc. But nobody was complaining when Barack Obama was slow jamming the news.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
You know on. On late night every chance that he got. So, you know.
Nick Freitas
Yeah, I'm kind of. I'm over the. I'm offended by this. Like, oh, okay. I don't care.
Eliyahu
Yep.
Nick Freitas
Yeah, you're offended by everything.
Tim Pool
My response is more so like, ah, I'll do it more often than.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
You know, whatever I got to do.
Phil Labonte
To thank you for telling the troll.
Tim Pool
Can't even. I can't even find their responses. Do we have.
Eliyahu
Was from Abigail the spokesperson.
Tim Pool
Oh, so she responded.
Eliyahu
She responded. Abigail Jackson, the White House spokesperson.
Tim Pool
From her account, I believe.
Eliyahu
From her Twitter account.
Tim Pool
I don't.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
Labeled carpenter stupid in a statement. Yeah.
Tim Pool
So I don't know. I don't. I, I. It's not even worth. You can't even find it. Like that's how, that's how insignificant the responses was.
Phil Labonte
Like I said, clapback facts have to be short, concise. That's why your mom works so well. Like look, if the White House just replied. The White House replied with your mom. Everybody be like, bo. You know.
Tim Pool
Oh, hey, welcome to gift wrapping.
Nick Freitas
Whoa.
Tim Pool
So we Saldana.
T-Mobile Representative
Hey, can you wrap these, please?
Nick Freitas
Wow.
Tim Pool
IPhone 17s.
T-Mobile Representative
You splurged at T Mobile, you can get four iPhone 17s on them. The new center stage front camera is amazing for group selfies. It's the perfect gift for everyone.
Tim Pool
I'm the worst.
Eliyahu
I only got my mom a robe.
T-Mobile Representative
Well, it's better than socks.
Eliyahu
So I have to trade in my old phone, right?
T-Mobile Representative
No AT T mobile. There's no trade ins needed when you switch. Keep your old phone or give it as a gift.
Eliyahu
Incredible.
T-Mobile Representative
In fact, wrap up my old phone too for my aunt Rosa. Forget that. Aunt Liz will be jealous.
Eliyahu
Sounds like my family drama.
T-Mobile Representative
Oh, I got it. I'll give it to my abuela. I'll take reindeer paper with. Hey, where are you going?

Phil Labonte
Have been a much better reply.
Eliyahu
Look, I think they like this as a distraction. I think posting memes and like, Sabrina Carpenter's response got more millions of impressions than anything else I think that the White House put out today. So I think they utilize this as a good distraction when they need one. But they are putting out fire memes. The DHS and White House Twitter account runners probably need a raise, and that's that new frontier that they fight on online. The meme wars.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I mean, look, it does matter, right? I mean, there is an argument to be made that Donald Trump got memed into the White House in 2016. All the, the, the people online that were constantly flooding social media and stuff with pro Donald Trump memes really did have an effect on, you know, popular culture and the way that people perceive Donald Trump.
Tim Pool
You know what's funny is were. Were you at the Pentagon today a lot?
Eliyahu
No, I was at Congress.
Tim Pool
Ah, okay. So all these news reports popped up where they were like, you know, Tim Pool and Laura Loomer and Jack Posobic or at the Pentagon today. And I'm like, I'm. I'm not at the Pentagon. It's. It's, it's all fake. It's all fake.
Phil Labonte
Peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter and jelly.
Tim Pool
Shout out to my best friend in the poker room, Ken, because he was asking me about this. You signed that pledge for Trump. Whatever. And I was like, I filled out a press application so I can go to the Pentagon one time to do a podcast one time. Because sometimes people interview other people. Like, it is crazy that the perception they created in the press over the Pentagon thing is that we were all signing a loyalty pledge to the president when I was literally like, hey, guys, why don't we try and do. Why don't we try and book Pete Hegseth? And then they came back with, he can't because he's working all the time from the Pentagon. Yeah. And then one of the people who's been on the show that we know said, maybe we can find space for you guys to come and do the show in the Pentagon. That would be cool. I said, okay. Then the team came back and said, we have to get press passes so that we can come in and do the show. And I was like, okay, well, if we're gonna have Pete Hexis on the show to talk about all this stuff, that'd be amazing because, like, having a direct access to the Secretary of War is tremendous. A lot of questions we'll have and we'll even, we've got friends with a lot of questions. Scott Hor will get questions from him and Dave and we could have these here. And so I said let's, let's fill out the thing. Next thing I know, the media is like Tim Pool and the right wing puppets showing up at the Pentagon to steal our spaces.
Phil Labonte
As if they weren't like, you know, falling over themselves to get access to these seats before, you know, alternative media got the opportunity. Like they, they thought that those seats were theirs.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah.
Phil Labonte
I remember when the, when the White House correspondents are. The press room in, in the, you know, a lot got in there and, and other people from, from, you know, alternative media got in there and they were behaving as if something that they owned.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Had been taken from them. And it was an affront to journalism, you know, in, in its entirety that someone that they disapproved of was there asking questions of the White House. And it's, it's that, that, what's the word I'm looking for? It's elitist, they believe.
Nick Freitas
Elitist.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, definitely elitist. But you know, they believe that the, the access to the President or to the White House was theirs and it wasn't for anyone else. It wasn't something that, that any other journalists should have access to.
Nick Freitas
Well, they had been allowed to operate that way for decades. Yeah, I mean, I was shocked when I first learned who got to decide who was in the White House because I'd always assumed it must be the White House. Nope, it was, it was this incredibly far left organization that essentially had the authority to decide who made it and who didn't. And when Trump came in and said, yeah, we're not going to give a far left organ the ability to gatekeep access to the White House, they just infuriated. How dare you. This is because they are journalism.
Eliyahu
Well, ultimately it's. These people feel entitled to it, to put it a little bit more succinctly. But to be clear, they have reason to be upset because not. I don't want to, I don't sympathize with them. The reason, the reason that they get upset is because access is zero sum there. Caroline Levitt or Press Secretary Kingsley at the Department of War, they're only going to give so many questions. Pete Hexeth is only going to give Department of War Secretary of War Pete Hexith. I want to practice putting in the titles while I say all these guys name Franklin Overwhelmed at Costco. Oh, My mustaches.
Tim Pool
Though it's funny because a lot is, you know, giving some poignant, astute speech analysis. And Nick and I are just busting out laughing. It says Franklin is overwhelmed at Costco. And it's just Franklin looking scared, surrounded by a bunch of Indian people. Poor Franklin.
Phil Labonte
But there's. If you look in the. The. This one probably leads into the one that's in there now that I just posted in there.
Tim Pool
Just. You just post. Sent one to me. Is it. Is it going to get us in trouble? See this.
Phil Labonte
This is what first happens. Then that's what you get. He gets radicalized by going to Costco.
Tim Pool
Look at the monkey in the fox. They're filming it on their self. So for those that are just listening, it says Franklin gets a new job. And he's. He's a masked DSA agent arresting what's her face.
Phil Labonte
Dora the Explorer.
Tim Pool
The explorer. I drew a map back home. Imagine all the things they're going to find in her backpack. Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Not immigration papers.
Tim Pool
Do you guys remember when Marvel tried making. It was called the New Mutants. Yeah. And they had safe space. And Snowflake.
Nick Freitas
Oh, my God.
Tim Pool
And they had. There was a fat female Hispanic character who had a backpack and her superpowers that you could pull any item out of it. And it's just like. That's just Dora.
Phil Labonte
Well, yeah, that's Dora, but it's also. The bag was a rip off of the bag of holding from dnd.
Tim Pool
That's right. He's just a. A DND character arc.
Phil Labonte
That's right.
Tim Pool
Trying to learn how to speak Spanish, I guess.
Phil Labonte
Nothing's new. Why.
Tim Pool
Why does a monkey have a cell phone, though? The Fox, I get.
Phil Labonte
He looks like he document swiped it.
Tim Pool
Yeah. The Fox stole the swiper.
Phil Labonte
He swiped it from Dora.
Nick Freitas
Swipe whatever I want now, Dora. Somebody put in a call that was actually.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, the monkey called the Fox is.
Nick Freitas
Definitely the way a swiper definitely call.
Tim Pool
Franklin's the new Pepe.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
This is amazing, Franklin. I love that. Gross. Tired. What is it that. Yeah, yeah. Franklin learns about George Floyd.
Nick Freitas
Oh, man.
Tim Pool
Oh, Franklin, look how upset he looks. Oh, no. Did you riot for no reason, Franklin, maybe you should not have done that. Oh, man.
Phil Labonte
Shucks.
Tim Pool
All right, let's talk about news. I guess. No more. No more laughing. We got this from the Post Millennial. Pentagon says all options are on the table for the investigation into Mark Kelly over Seditious Six video. Now here's what really matters from the Postman. Pentagon says WaPo falsely attributed quotes to Hexeth that he never said in report on September drug boat strike. This is actually reported in the New York Times. I want to pull up the New York Times for all the libs out there.
Nick Freitas
This was crazy to watch the New York Times fact check the Washington.
Eliyahu
It was lib on lip violence.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So the New York Times basically have, have, have countered what the Washington Post reported saying. Hagseth ordered a lethal attack, but not the killing of survivors. Officials say the reason why this is important is that the Washington Post put out the claim that Hegseth basically said double tap, that he said kill the narco terrorists, blow him up. After he did, they claimed that they were staring at survivors clinging to boats. And he said finish him off, which would be a war crime survivors. You, you capture him, right? Well, the New York Times was like we talked to five different people independently of each other and they all confirmed Hagseth gave one order, struck the boats and then left. Why then did the Washington Post lie? They are fomenting civil war. I am not saying that lightly. And all of the people chuckling and saying, haha, time to drink, Stop. You're allowed to have fun. But I want to make this point because it is very terrifying. I have explained throughout the whole year they have been saying that all of Trump's orders are illegal. They have terrified men and women in uniform. They have said when they take power back, they will arrest you for following Trump's orders. The Washington Post now put out a story claiming that Hegseth authorized a war crime. They ordered the war crime. They want you in the military to question whether or not you can actually follow these orders. Mark Kelly then went on Meet the Press and said they can tell when the orders are illegal. You've got these, these, these billboards popping up all over the place saying not what you signed up for. Communicate with us discreetly using encryption to avoid the risk. Risk of what? So when Mark Kelly is coming out and saying don't follow illegal orders, this is overt calls for civil war. And I want to make sure this is, this is very. I want to very much define and clarify this. There is never going to be a circumstance in modern warfare where someone trying to ignite a military coup goes on TV and says, I am calling on the military to engage in a military coup against the President. Now's the time. Let's take the seat of the White House because regular people will get freaked out by it. If you wanted to actually stage a coup, this is how you would do it in modern warfare. You would have your Media allies come out and say, Trump is doing illegal things. You would make up fake stories to terrify and share the confidence of our military. And then you'd have politicians come out and say, you can tell if it's illegal and you must disobey. That's where we're at. I guarantee you, with those billboards that have been popping up since October, they're already men and women in uniform who have been in contact with these organizations and have already made vows to defy the chain of command. So when people ask, how would a civil war ever happen in this country? The military is not going to turn on itself. It makes me want to just bash my face on the table. Because in 2018, when I first started talking about the prospect of civil war, the first question was, why would anyone at the federal government be fighting each other? It's a uni party. They're all aligned with each. Now we can see what's happening. They prosecute Donald Trump. In 2018, nobody, nobody believed Trump would be arrested. It's never happened. It could never happen. And then Trump got arrested, what, twice? Three times. Then all of a sudden, it was like, oh, wow, that happened, but it won't go. It won't escalate again. So back in 2018, people would say to me, the federal government is never going to allow this kind of fighting because they're too powerful and they control everything. Well, now the federal government is fighting itself, and now we're see. And people said, yeah, well, they're fighting each other, but how would the military ever line up against the military? That'll never happen. Then we saw in Texas the Texas Guard versus the Feds over the border dispute. And now we're seeing Chris Murphy say, pick an effing side. And. And. And Trump's not getting any free pass on this one. When he said, sedition is punishable by death. Like, this is all lining things up. I would not be surprised if we. If we were a year away. I'm not saying it will happen. I don't know. But if a year from now, we see Gavinism come out and say, I am seizing full control of the California National Guard, you and I am ordering all members of the Guard to defy federal court orders to obey Donald Trump. He is engaged in unlawful actions. You are hereby ordered to defy those actions. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. He's already threatened to arrest DHS ICE for wearing masks. We're already seeing criminal prosecution threats in Illinois and Oregon. It is all happening before our Eyes. I think the only move Trump has right now, and I don't think he'll do it because with all due respect, they don't have the balls to do it. I think they need to be arrested. I think they need, they need to be charged under 18 USC 2387. I believe that out front and Lamar Advertising should be fined for, for criminal violations of 1820, 18 USC 2387. And I believe that they need to go out and actually make arrests under this. Otherwise it just gets worse.
Eliyahu
Do you have the clip of, of how she actually responded? Because I watched this full briefing and I feel like she did it.
Nick Freitas
You mentioned working with partners on the Hill.
Tim Pool
Another senator on the Hill, the Democrat.
Nick Freitas
Side, is Senator Mark Kelly. Now, we heard some reporting about a possible investigation into him regarding his status as a retired retired member of the United States Navy, still in pension and therefore still still under the jurisdiction of the Uniform Code of Military justice, and.
Tim Pool
As such, his membership.
Nick Freitas
You mentioned the Seditious Six. Would that be grounds for possibly bringing him back to active service for an investigation for NJP or even a full court martial?
Tim Pool
So you're correct. The Department of War received serious allegations of misconduct against Senator Mark Kelly. And in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military justice and other applicable recommendations and regulations, we're doing a thorough review.
T-Mobile Representative
Of all of these allegations.
Tim Pool
And the Secretary of War has tasked the Secretary of the Navy, John for Phelan, with doing a thorough review looking into all of these allegations and providing him an update on December 10th. So we will have more information to come on that. But I would just add that this despicable video that Mark Kelly participated in with the Seditious Six was a politically motivated influence operation that was an attempt to undermine the chain of command to sow distrust and division in our armed forces.
T-Mobile Representative
That is absolutely ridiculous and it's crime.
Tim Pool
Our war fighters at risk.
T-Mobile Representative
And again, he doubled down on the Sunday shows.
Tim Pool
I don't know if you all saw him on the Sunday shows, but he basically insinuated that service members who do not defy President Trump's orders could face potential prosecution in the future when Democrats are back in power. He even called our troops and likened them to those of the Russian military. This is totally disgraceful from an elected official and the department takes it very seriously. And that is why we have launched this review. Just to be clear. So Secretary Fallen were to recommend court.
Nick Freitas
Martial, that would be on the board.
Tim Pool
What was the question? Sorry.
Nick Freitas
If Secretary failing were to recommend court martial, that could be an option on the TABLE.
Tim Pool
All options are on the table at this moment in time, and we look forward to getting the Secretary of the Navy's review. And the Secretary of War has been very clear in his statements as well.
T-Mobile Representative
That he takes this extremely seriously.
Tim Pool
And it is unacceptable. I want to pull up the law for all Eliels so you can see I'm not playing around. This is illegal. This is 18 USC 2387. It's. Let me, let me pull up the penalty for it. Does it have the penalty in here? It doesn't. I'm sorry. 10 years. And let's see. Or find. Or imprison. Not more than 10 years. Whoever with the intent to interfere with, impair or influence the loyalty, morale or discipline of the military or naval forces United States 1, advises councils, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny or refusal of duty by any member of the military naval force the United States or distributes or attempts to distribute any written or printed matter which advises councils or urges insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny or refusal of duty by any member of the military naval force of the United States shall be fined under this title or in prison not more than 10 years or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department of agency thereof or agency thereof for the next five years following his conviction. So this is illegal. And I'm pretty sure when you have a website that instructs you to reduce risk by using encrypted communications because you're questioning what you signed up for, this falls perfectly under 18 USC 2387, section A, subsection 2 and 1 falls perfectly. And Mark Kelly's actions falls under 1, section A, subsection 1 perfectly. They need to be criminally charged. If they are not, this will keep getting worse. If you do not use your power, you lose it. And if the DOJ is unwilling to bring an indictment, this is a slam dunk, by the way. If they're unwilling to do it, Democrats are going to keep. They're going to entrench this worldview. They're going to expand their efforts, and by then it will be too late because the military will be scared. There's going to be some young guys in the military. And they heard Mark Kelly say if Democrats win, they're going to prison.
Phil Labonte
Yep.
Tim Pool
So they're going to say, Trump, you have to win because I don't want to go to prison. And Trump's going to go, I can't do anything about it. And they're gonna Say, then I'm with them. Because if you will not use power, we know they will. So if Trump doesn't do it, the military is going to immediately defect and go to the people willing to crush them. That's why in Venezuela, you are able to suppress the people who are fighting against communism, because the military is told, we'll kill you if you defy us, but we'll feed you if you work with us. And so people are like, okay, it's better to be a soldier well fed and fat and happy in Venezuela than one of these impoverished, poor people suffering under socialism. The military's got two choices. Are they going to follow the chain of command as they signed up to, or are they going to follow the defectors and then under the Democrats? Well, the reality is, if Trump isn't going to do anything, they're going to say, look, they got a gun to my head and you won't stop them.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I mean, look it, I do still, I'm still of the opinion that the government is being very precautious about any kind, of, any kind, of any kind of legal action they take. But I do think that this is pretty clear. And I do, I would like to see, you know, see something come from, come from the investigation, I think.
Nick Freitas
So. I'm always, Again, my background was unconventional warfare and counterinsurgency. I mean, that's what we did as Green Berets. I'm always, I'm always cautious of the idea of the whole Alinsky rule, that their action is our reaction.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
And there is, there is something to be said for, you know, perp walking somebody out who's then going to claim that I was just, I was simply repeating what the law is. You're obligated to not follow unlawful orders. Show me exactly where I violated this by, by telling service members that they don't have to follow lawful orders. What, is that not true? Is that not in the Uniform Code of Military Justice? That's going to be their claim. Right. And, and so the question is, what do you have? That truly is the slam dunk. I understand the implication. And the thing, the thing that, again, there's, there's two things about this that really piss me off. The first one is I am so sick and tired of watching these former members of the military sit there and hold up their, their prior service and the oath we swore to the Constitution. Well, will that include the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Ninth Amendment, Tenth Amendment, Article 1, Section 8? Because I've noticed you don't seem to care about Those things. My wife said it best. She goes, democrats quote the Constitution the way atheists quote the Bible.
Tim Pool
Yep. Yep.
Nick Freitas
Right? There's. There's no real. There's no real commitment to it. It's a restriction on you, not them. Where were any. I mean, they're all saying, now, we need you guys in the middle. We need you. You know what? I remember when the guys in the military needed these guys when they were getting kicked out of the military by Eugene Veneman.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
Because they didn't want to take an experimental vaccine.
Tim Pool
Or the people who got kicked out because they had Gadsden flags on their Facebook profile.
Eliyahu
Yes.
Nick Freitas
Or a member of the Virginia National Guard that I'm trying to help right now that not only got kicked out, but barred from. From reenlistment. Demoted. Why? Because. Well, he belonged to a local militia.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
The local militia was actually sanctioned by their local sheriff's department and actually helped them engage in things like first responder activities. Right. And they. And they. And they knew about it for four years, sent this guy to soldier of the Year to represent the Virginia National Guard, and now they kicked him out.
Phil Labonte
That's super frustrating to say that, because there's a lot of. A lot of people will do things. They'll. They'll. They'll sign up to help their local fire departments. They'll sign up to help their local sheriff's departments. They're like, I'm a volunteer. And the government absolutely will look at people and say, well, I don't like his politics. Yes, he's in this. This organization. He's in this group. And he's. He's, you know, whatever. He's Pro2A or whatever. So he. We're going to say that he's a member of some kind of militia or something. And they'll target it to one individual. They won't go after the whole group.
Nick Freitas
No. And so there's. There's that.
Eliyahu
Right.
Nick Freitas
That aspect of it. Whereas these guys are holding up their. Their former service as justification for what they're doing now when. When we all. None of us are convinced that these guys actually care about the Constitution. The other thing that. That pisses me off is exactly what you said before. It's this idea of you're. You can't follow unlawful orders. Correct. So, Mark, Senator Kelly, show me which order is unlawful. Oh, you don't have one. Oh, it's just a friendly reminder. No, no, no. What you did was you threatened them.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Nick Freitas
Because it's the whole idea of. How do you know it's an unlawful order. Well, it's, it's pretty easy when you look at the Uniform Code of Military justice in order to decipher between a lawful order and an unlawful order. Okay, but the fact that he said, we'll go after the people that follow this is the part where it gets into a much grayer area. Because when, when you have service members that now have to execute on orders fighting terrorism or something like that. Now it's the whole idea of, am I going to. Is there going to be a future regime, a future Congress, a future president, a future Attorney General that's going to come in and now determine three years after the fact. Oh, you know that order that you executed, which by the way, JAG cleared off on at the time that you did it, because especially when you're talking about this. I've explained this before. I've seen this. This is not the sort of thing where random guys are just going out there deciding who they want to drone for fun. It's not some random captain saying, oh yeah, let's go kill that guy. That's not how this works. Yeah, okay. What you actually have, when you have a common operating picture and you have a talk, you have, you have a tactical control area and you were actually blessing off on this stuff where it's like, okay, in S2, S3, right, Jag like, yep, good to go. Good to go. Good to go. Okay, now I execute it. Now Mark Kelly comes in and decides after the fact that was an unlawful order and we're punishing you as well.
Phil Labonte
And your enlisted guys are listening to, you know, you mentioned jag. Those guys are officers. Yeah, they're lawyers. They've gone to law school and they clear it. And so these enlisted dudes, these E4s, E5s, E6s, they do what they're told. And then Mark Kelly's coming and threatening them and essentially saying, look, we're going to hold you responsible if you violate the law, if you, if you violate your oath to the Constitution. And it's as, as murky and as ambiguous. He makes it as murky and as ambiguous as possible. Even though these guys got the. Okay, the thumbs up from, like you said, the military lawyers that have gone over this from, you know, tip to butt, they're like, yep, this is all good. It's. You're 100% right. It's infuriating to see.
Eliyahu
I agree with everything you guys just said, but I feel as though we're speaking a little bit too much in the abstract. So I wanted to add details to what we're actually talking about here. So originally the Washington Post put out an article saying that Pete Exif ordered, ordered a strike on a Venezuelan alleged Venezuelan drug boat. He said, allegedly said kill them all and then allegedly ordered the follow up strike. I believe that's what it says in the Washington Post article. The New York Times came out with a new article that says Pete Hexath only was involved in the initial strike, as I understand, and didn't allegedly give them one order. He's, he ordered a lethal strike, but not killing of the survivors. And then Pete Hexseth, Secretary of War Hexseth alleges that it's Admiral Bradley who eventually sent the follow up kinetic strike. And now Senator Mark Kelly is saying that that could potentially if, if it truly happened the way that the Washington Post is alleging that that could be a war crime. So I guess Mark Kelly is also saying that therefore, if that is the case then, and you are following the chain of command, you will still be held liable if these are unlawful orders, I guess on that part particularly, what do you think about, based on the reporting that we've seen, if that's, you know, could that, would you interpret that as a war crime?
Tim Pool
And the point of this is not to actually claim there's a war crime. It's to tell an enlisted guy who doesn't know left or right on the, on the legal matters, we are coming for you. If Trump tells you to do something and you do it, we are coming for you totally.
Eliyahu
And it harms our military readiness because now all of our soldiers need to think twice. This is the decision you're making, potentially going to compromise you in the future. But I think there are two issues at hand there. There's that issue and then there's also the issue of potentially striking, you know, people who have no means to kick back in.
Phil Labonte
So to your first point, and Nick, you can speak to this. You hear guys on the ground talking about how the rules of engagement are, are, have been detrimental to actually accomplishing the mission. Like, can you go ahead and expand on that idea so people understand, so.
Nick Freitas
Give you an idea like I'll just use Iraq as an example. In 2008, the amount of trouble we had to go through to get outside the wire and actually conduct military operations, it was, it was far more intense than anybody would think. It looked more like law enforcement operations than you would think, like an active combat area. So this is something where like I had to secure warrants. I remember going out, we launched an Operation to get a guy for which we had, I think, 10 different sworn statements from Iraqis. Yeah, this guy's a terrorist. Yeah, this guy's done bad things. And I go back and like me, I'm a sergeant first class. I'm a Green Beret, but I'm a sergeant first class. And all of a sudden I got to sit and I got to justify to a JAG officer on why this person needs to go to higher detention. So, yeah, there was a lot of us that got to the point where it's like, this is getting ridiculous. And then remember, this is also the time during the Obama administration where they were talking about they wanted to have an award for valorous restraint.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
And, and, and, and again, it's, it's about the incentive structure that you're comp. That you are creating in the minds of military personnel. Now, listen, obviously, if you have, if, if I've got somebody detained right there in front of me, I have, I have launched my operation. I've got my bad guy. They are zip tied and they're sitting over there and my commander walks in and goes, fredas, shoot that guy in the head. I'm going to look at my commander like, no, like, I know that's not authorized. That's murder. I can't do that.
Eliyahu
Okay.
Nick Freitas
But there's also questions on, on whether it comes down to repetitive strikes and things like that. Can I hit a target more than once?
Tim Pool
We do have big breaking news. Sorry, guys. Afton Bain, the woman from Tennessee, from Nashville, who hates Nashville, has lost. Oh. So apparently it looks like, I don't know if a decision desk is projecting Matt's Van Epps to win. So we've got this. He has made, he has, he has won. And they, and they posted this at 9:06. So actually we're 10 minutes behind.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
But. And we have this in the New York Times tracking the latest. And he's, he's, he's quite a bit ahead. Perhaps going on podcasts and claiming that you hate everything about Nashville is not the way to actually win a congressional seat.
Eliyahu
You know, I will also mention in this, he looks like he's up six points. This was a Trump +20 district. So I don't know how impressive this margin was. It seemed as though Republicans were a little bit concerned about this seat despite.
Phil Labonte
That 7th district Trump was tweeting about it.
Tim Pool
Urban Nashville was plus 20 this district prior to this.
Eliyahu
Yeah. In the prior Trump election was a Trump +20. Nick, I wanted to follow up with you on one of the details here in particular, as I understand on ground it's different than what it's going on and see, correct me at any moment because I'm sure you know a lot more about this than I do. But on land people.
Tim Pool
Oh, hey. Welcome to gift wrapping.
Nick Freitas
Whoa.
Tim Pool
So, Saldana.
T-Mobile Representative
Hey, can you wrap these please?
Tim Pool
Wow.
Eliyahu
IPhone 17s, you splurged.
T-Mobile Representative
At T Mobile. You can get four iPhone 17s on them. The new center stage front camera is amazing for group selfies. It's the perfect gift for everyone.
Tim Pool
I'm the worst.
Eliyahu
I only got my mom a robe.
T-Mobile Representative
Well, it's better than socks.
Eliyahu
So I have to trade in my old phone, right?
T-Mobile Representative
No AT T Mobile. There's no trade ins needed when you switch. Keep your old phone or give it as a gift.
Eliyahu
Incredible.
T-Mobile Representative
In fact, wrap up my old phone too for my aunt Rosa. Forget that. Aunt Liz will be jealous.
Eliyahu
Sounds like my family drama.
T-Mobile Representative
Oh, I got it. I'll give it to my abuela. I'll take reindeer paper with. Hey, where are you going?
Tim Pool
To T Mobile. The holidays are better. AT T Mobile get four iPhone 17s on us. No trade in needed when you switch plus four lines for just 25 bucks a line.

Eliyahu
Visit T mobile.com Survivors could potentially be seen as a continuing military threat. But however, when you are at sea, after you strike a boat and there are survivors just hanging on to, you know, whatever's left over of the boat, it's different. And they don't seem to pose a clear military threat. That's when an alleged second strike was ordered and people are alleging that if that's the way it happened, then it would be a war crime. Do you think that would be a war crime if it happened the way that the Washington Post is alleging?
Nick Freitas
That's one that I, I don't have. I don't have the legal expertise with respect to be able to definitively say one way or the other. I can't say that. Typically speaking, it's generally understood that if you have survivors of like a sunken ship or something like that to strike that again would. That would seem outside the rules to me. But I don't, I don't have a legal.
Eliyahu
Because I did want to, again, get to the specifics, because that's, I believe, again, I do not believe Senator Mark Kelly is justified in telling soldiers that they shouldn't follow what they believe may be illegitimate orders because the next administration might come after them. But that's what he's talking about here with these orders.
Nick Freitas
Look, with, with all of this. You know, we just got done talking about this earlier with Candace. With respect to how words are chosen carefully in order to avoid prosecution or avoid defamation or anything like that, it's going to be the same thing here. Right. And. And that's going to be. The question is, can you make a strong enough legal case where you could actually convict something for that?
Tim Pool
Now, Franklin can. Franklin.
Eliyahu
Franklin's.
Nick Freitas
Franklin's capable.
Tim Pool
You can pull us one. You pull us one up.
Nick Freitas
Well, and that's also. But look, we've also got. We've also got midterms coming up. Right. So the question is, is, are they talking about this exclusively? Let me give you an example. We just got our clocks cleaned in Virginia. Right. We're going to be paying for what just happened in the Virginia election.
Eliyahu
Oh, bro.
Tim Pool
For the next 20 years. I'm not coming back to your state.
Nick Freitas
For the next 20 years, we're going to be paying for what happened on election night, on. In November.
Tim Pool
Okay.
Nick Freitas
Does anyone here think that the Democrats really just wanted to keep the government shut down because they were just so upset about some of these budget items, or do you think it's far more likely that they realize that they were impacting tens of thousands of voters in Northern Virginia right ahead of election?
Tim Pool
Right, Right.
Nick Freitas
So it's this idea that there are times. This is Sol Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. You know, our reaction is their action. Right. They want to get us to respond in a particular way. And so I do think that Trump Admin administration has to be very, very careful on how they go about this. I do think they should regularly investigate it. And I do think they should be willing to use legitimate power. This is one of the. This is one of the things that's been a huge problem for conservatives. Yes, yes. We are skeptical of the centralization of power and the use of power. We don't see government as a mechanism whereby we reward our friends and punish our enemies. But you know who does?
Eliyahu
The left.
Nick Freitas
Every single time. That is how they use it. And to your point, when you do, when you are handed by the electorate legitimate government power.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
I don't think that means that you should abuse that power, but should you exercise it to its Full legitimate force. Yes. You had better.
Phil Labonte
You have an obligation better.
Nick Freitas
Why you will.
Phil Labonte
You won the election because they want you to exercise.
Tim Pool
And now let's apply that in the, in the. In the reverse. I'm not going to be coming to your state for some time. You got Jay Jones coming in. When does he formally come in?
Nick Freitas
It'll be January.
Tim Pool
In January, it's probably the last time I drive through Virginia because we are currently living in a country where Charlie Kirk was murdered. And no matter who you think did it, whatever. I'm not here to get into that whole argument. The point is somebody wanted him dead and they made sure he was. You have Jay Jones now. A man who wants his opponent's children to die so that they will agree with him on policy. That doesn't just mean, hey, you know, if your children were brutally murdered, maybe you'll change your mind. It means there are things I am willing to do that I understand must be done to make someone change their mind. And so I'm not going back to Chicago for the holidays because. And you can look this up. You can ask Luke about it. Police in Chicago tried planting drugs on us back in. I think it was 2012. And NBC News reported how we got pulled over at gunpoint. And they. It's a crazy story, and call me paranoid, but all it takes is one day I drive through Virginia and some state trooper who's some crackpot, far left guy who's a fan of Jay Jones and believes all the crazy Nazi stuff, plants drugs, that's it. Or just turns his body camera off and then puts a bullet in me. That I doubt. It's much easier just to be like, he resisted arrest and now he's going to jail. If you want to take a piece off the board, there are many ways you can do it. And we are living in a country right now where someone was willing to murder Charlie Kirk because of his influence. When an AG comes in who expresses his desire to see children murdered for his political benefit, I am taking that very seriously.
Nick Freitas
I. I think I've said this before where originally, I mean, I was used to the General assembly when I got in there in 2016. And it was, if you disagreed with the Democrats, you were a racist, you were a bigot, you were a sexist. And what the use of that language was designed to rob you of moral legitimacy with respect to the arguments that you made. It was, I don't need to listen to your arguments because who cares about the opinions of a racist, a sexist, or a bigot?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
Then the language changed and the language became you're a threat to democracy, you're a fascist, you're engaging in trans genocide. That's not to rob you of moral legitimacy. That is to create a moral framework for where they can use aggressive violence against you and claim it was self defense. Now we're moving into what Mark Kelly's doing right now where it's, we will come after. We're promising to prosecute you if you follow the orders of a president we don't like. We will use the full force and power of government. Yeah. The thing that's going, about to be going on in Virginia right now is the place is going to be run like the mob. Right. Don Scott and Louise Lucas are talking to all the lobbyists right now, essentially saying, you better tell everybody that ever donated to a Republican, they better get on board. They're going to tell everybody who wants legislation before the General Assembly. You hire a youngkin appointee, you're done. Right. And then it's a question of you've got a guy like Jay Jones running the Attorney General's office. Guys, they don't have to actually convict you. They can destroy your life with an investigation.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Nick Freitas
Just, they can, they can bankrupt you. Having to fight. They will use your tax dollars to, to crush you into the ground. But all to withdraw the investigation after the damage is done.
Tim Pool
They can launch an indictment against a company based in Nashville and accuse several prominent conservatives of being paid by Russians and then abandon the investigation a month later when the invest. When the, when the election's over. Yeah. And that's literally what Merrick Garland did because he is evil. And this. And it's funny because, you know, I always bring up my buddy in the poker room who's like, you're always calling Democrats evil. And I was like, well, maybe when the AG lies about you intentionally misrepresenting everything with no evidence and then you get death threats because of it, you might understand. But to the people who don't really pay attention and they're just passively absorbing news, they don't get it. And I've had to explain to people said, listen, for you to truly understand where we are, we have to go back in time 10 years and there's so much information you have wrong. So I was talking to this guy and I said, Donald Trump never called Neo. He never called Nazis. Fine people. Yeah. And it was, it's fascinating because not to single out any individual that I was just talking to, but I'll use an example from this show. When we had. What was her name, is it Tara Palmieri? She didn't know. And this was this year. She didn't know. Trump never called Nazis fine people.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
She genuinely still believed that lie. And that's the world they live in.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Not only that, but the. There I have friends that, that say. Have said things like, oh, well, you know, maybe he didn't actually call Nazis fine people, but he was there that day with them. Yeah, he was there talking. So he was at, he was at the neo Nazi rally. Even though, according to, like, Trump. I don't think he was actually in the, at the rally. He was doing a press conference.
Nick Freitas
He wasn't anywhere near.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Was.
Nick Freitas
He wasn't even near it.
Tim Pool
Was he in New York?
Nick Freitas
I don't know. But he wasn't anywhere near Charlottesville.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
So, like, he didn't go there.
Tim Pool
No.
Phil Labonte
People are under the impression that he was there at the rally with him and the truth doesn't matter.
Nick Freitas
Well, you saw what the BBC did. I mean, the BBC deliberately edited speeches in order to make it look like he had called for people to go over to the Capitol on January 6th.
Phil Labonte
Y.
Nick Freitas
The. Who was it? Matt. Matt Van Swole. He just came out and said, I just, I think it was either today or yesterday. He said, I just learned for the first time that the whole hands up, no shoot or don't shoot is a complete fraud today. Oh, yeah, just today he's like, I had no idea that this, this guy didn't. And put his hands up, didn't say, don't shoot, didn't do any of it. He literally charged a police officer, tried to take his firearm away from him.
Phil Labonte
In the car. In the car, yes, to get the firearm. And there was a. The gun went off. There was a bullet hole in the squad car's passenger door.
Nick Freitas
Yeah, we all, we like, we all knew that part of the story within, what, probably 72 hours. Yeah, probably within 72 hours. There's people now, years later, going, wait, wait, what? Yeah.
Tim Pool
Or George Floyd having a lethal dose of fentanyl and meth in his system. Yeah. People go, huh?
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And they vote and they're voting for Afton Bain.
Phil Labonte
And the fact that, that these things are untrue and it, it was the foundation for a movement that mean, what, seven, eight years later, nine years later? Eight years later? Because I think. No, seven years later, because Ferguson was. In 2013, seven years later, literally burned down multiple cities across the country. Just massive amounts of rioting, which, by.
Nick Freitas
The way, were not demonstrations of left wing Ideological political violence.
Phil Labonte
No, not at all.
Nick Freitas
Not, not demonstrations of that point to.
Tim Pool
All of those hate trackers. The killing in Portland, the riots don't count as left wing violence.
Phil Labonte
No, of course not.
Nick Freitas
No. But, but if a, if a skinhead gang gets in a fight with a Hispanic gang over drug turf, that's right wing ideology.
Phil Labonte
Gang gets in a fight with another.
Nick Freitas
Skinhead, that's right wing violence.
Tim Pool
Guys kill other white guys.
Phil Labonte
It's white supremacy.
Tim Pool
So white supremacist punches his wife. It's right wing violence.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And, and here's the problem. The problem is conservatives take the bait every time.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Take debate.
Nick Freitas
So someone, I think less so. I think less so now they, I.
Tim Pool
Maybe, but still prominent where I hear the debate all the time where someone will say something like the right commits, you know, way more violence. And the conservative respond with oh yeah, but the left does this instead of saying, brother, I'm not going to sit here and defend white supremacists punching anybody.
Eliyahu
Don't.
Tim Pool
We are not part of the same group.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So if you want to make an argument about white supremacists, fine. If you want to make an argument about conservatives or Republicans, whatever you want to make, fine. When they say the right is responsible for X, what they're actually trying to do is saying the run of the mill working class Republican is the exact same thing as a skinhead neo Nazi guy chasing down black men.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And then, and then Republicans go, well, but the left does this or that. My response is oh yeah. If you mean right as in like the white supremacists, fine. But let's, let's separate them and we'll all agree to condemn them. Okay. Of regular Republicans. Oh, now it's zero.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Oh, among regular liberals it's 27,000.
Nick Freitas
Yeah, well it's this, this. I was speaking at University of Alabama on this and I would say, look, the bottom line is one, you're associating two typical conservative stuff that's done by like extremists and then you're completely negating stuff done by antifa. Right. There's an intellectual dishonesty here that has reached a critical mass. And this again, I think this all goes back to Gramsci with this whole idea of you take over culturally shaping institutions and then you use your credit, their credibility, there's stored up credibility in order to push your agenda. The problem now is, is that when you, when you use those kind of statistics to try to push this narrative that oh well, 80% of political violence is on the right. I'm looking at them now going, you understand that that doesn't cause me to go, oh my gosh, is that true? I know it's not true. Well, yeah, but this, this study said it. Or is it all that? Okay, all you have done is reinforced my belief that that institution, the people conducting those studies, the organizations that put it out there are co. Opted. They're absolutely co opted because I can go over here and I can look at a poll that was conducted where they asked self identifying liberals, moderates and conservatives, how comfortable are you with political advice, political violence? And it turns out that it's overwhelmingly the left, which oh by the way, is what I observe.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
On a daily basis. So it's like I don't again, you can't continue to wear these culturally shaping institutions as a kind of like skin suit and demand that I give them the same credibility that they earned decades ago when they actually engaged in either objective journalists or objective analysis.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, indeed.
Tim Pool

We got David Flores says tonight Frederick county is having a meeting regarding data centers. Now legacy farms dating to the 1700s will be affected. There's been no studies on effects environment, light, noise or poll. More to come. Interesting. Have you been tracking the data center stuff in northern Virginia?
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Nick Freitas
Well, so here's, here's what's, there's a, there's a big problem with this. It's one of the reasons why in Virginia this year they are probably going to try to take away land use authority from localities in order to try to push more data centers and to definitely push green energy. Like in Virginia. The issue that we have is they, they passed the Virginia Clean Economy act which is destroying our energy capacity. So what are they doing to protect the environment? Well, they're, they're scooping up farmland and forestry, destroying it and putting up industrial solar fields. Now why do they need to keep doing this to the degree that they are? Because they have to feed these incredibly energy hungry data cent. And so it's amazing how in Virginia this is going to cause, I mean this is about to cause our energy rates to just go through the roof. So it's a big issue.
Phil Labonte
It's, it's kind of scary to think the, the amount of power that these things need and, and to know that the, the federal government has made it so difficult to, to, to build power Plants, you know, whatever types they are. I know, I know that the left wants to see all kinds of, you know, green energy and stuff. Personally, I'm of the opinion that you don't get any more green energy than nuclear power. And if you want to start, if you want to build power, a nuclear power plant, it's like 10 years before you'll be able to get any power out of it. If you start today.
Tim Pool
I'm so busy all the time. I'm trying to work out this mini doc plan with Shane about the data centers in Northern Virginia, because I've told the story a couple different times, but it's creepy. A large language model instructed me on how to contact data center land acquisition to get a massive payout if I shut up, take the show off the air and sell the land. Quietly argued that the data centers effectively are their own entity. It's called the Virginia Instance, which is these massive data centers connected the NSA, the CIA, etc. They're basically, humans are basically saying, what should we do? And they're just being told what to do by the AI. And it wants to buy up all the land in this area because it needs energy transmission from north of here into Northern Virginia. And all these parcels are in the way. We've noticed the prices of land around here are skyrocketing. And to an absurd degree, we talked about it. I talked about like a bungalow five years ago was 200,000. Now it's 500 and they sell instantly. And it makes no sense. I looked at one house with my wife and it was half a million dollars for a. For 2,000 square feet. And it needed 100 grand in updates. And we were like, that's ridiculous. Sold right away. And so all of this is really weird, but the, the AI said there are Delaware limited liability partnerships quietly buying up plots of land. They're trying to create large acreages to build data center transmission lines to go into the big data centers in Northern Virginia. And it said that there are many people in the area who have quietly received exorbitant payouts for their land in exchange for privacy. That it said if you don't list your property and you email directly to the land acquisition companies, they'll offer you a premium not to go through any real estate and to do a private sale so that it doesn't pop up in the press. The reason being the news finds out that land is being purchased for the purpose of a data center and all the locals are going to lose their mind. They're going to pass ordinances so they're trying to do it very quietly and they. This, this. So I need to talk to Shane about this because we wanted to do a mini doc talking about what's actually going on and exposing it all. And we've talked about it a bit, but we've never actually sat down and planned it. So I need to go.
Nick Freitas
And a lot of. A lot of localities like the data centers because they look at it as additional tax revenue with. For very few services.
Eliyahu
Yep.
Nick Freitas
Because, I mean, you look at these massive data centers and that's not like 100 people in there. It's relatively few.
Tim Pool
Yeah. It's like seven.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
If that a janitor and a security guy.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And there's no lights. The lights are all off because they don't need them. Creepy. All right, let's jump to the next chair. We got James Black says two things. Nick on Tim cast. It is not even my birthday. That is tomorrow. Happy birthday, me. Nothing has made me dislike Candace more than this Charlie Kirk arc for. I mean, look, listen. I really do recommend you listen to her show from today because when she posted that tweet saying, like, I've got information for you, she didn't really say anything in the show. And so I was sitting with Sean and I was like, just play it and we'll listen to it. She literally said nothing. I'm not being cute, I'm not being coy. It was patter. I was actually really shocked. It was 10 minutes of her saying nothing. I'll give you an example. It was shocking how Candace was saying so little but moving her mouth so much that it made me feel. It felt like nothing was being said. And that's something that's really important to tell people. People need to understand this. You know, when Candace was doing her show, her mouth was moving, words were coming out, but no ideas are actually being conveyed. And that's what's important to really understand here. What isn't conveyed because nothing was conveyed. She was just saying words and those words conveyed nothing. That's how I think and feel. And you know what? I wouldn't lie to you about it. I wouldn't mislead you. She was actually just not really saying anything as she was talking for a long period of time, just like I am doing right now.
Eliyahu
How long until she accuses you of being Jewish? Over or under three months.
Tim Pool
What if she's just like, she refuses anything about me, but she just attacks you?
Eliyahu
I'd be the low hanging fruit. I guess it would be. That's what Big looking yarmulke.
Tim Pool
I don't think our show generates enough buzz for her to mention.
Eliyahu
Oh, I disagree. I think she has a lot of respect for you and I think she knows the show is very important and I think this will get a response.
Tim Pool
I mean maybe, you know, the thing is like we were looking at that story talking about how much money she made there. There's. Twitch is a big problem right now with bots. There's a reason why people buy bots to make their viewership look bigger. We're not going to get, you know, so right. Right now what do we have? We've got. We're split between rum but we have 46, 000 concurrent viewers which is. It's actually really good because four years ago when we were in the off season after the 2020 election, we were averaging about 27,000 current viewers. So the show has grown its consistency and all these things. I don't need to bot or buy views or do anything like that because honestly I don't really care if it's number one, number 10, number 100. But people don't understand that Candace has one really big show she does every day and it's big. People really like it. That's great. If they like it, whatever. And so you'll hear in the press about how she's so big. Well, actually across the board I'm pretty sure we get equal to or more views than she does. As a company I've got four different shows of different subject matter and then we've got audio side, then we've got the other shows. So you know, I think if I were to stop doing five different shows and just do one, I don't think I'd get as many views as Candace but I think I'd probably get like 60, 70%. Whereas you know, Tim cast Iro does about half a million and she does like two. If I stopped doing all the other shows, the viewers would concentrate around one. One show or whatever. My point is there's a handful of. It's. You have to break down total viewership per company for view. So it's like her show's really big but it's one, you know, hour long show per day. Right.
Eliyahu
Do you want to hear the conspiracy about why she's still on air?
Tim Pool
So because she works for Israel and Israel is. And that's why Nick Fuentes is banned and she's not. Because Nick. They don't want to actually. So Nick is a wild card. No one controls and he says things that are Dangerous to Israel. But Candace has controlled opposition who literally worked for the Daily Wire and then goes rogue and disappears from the company. But then she's propped up on YouTube and Spotify as the acceptable anti Israel and she sounds crazy and everyone's disparaging her. And Nick Fuentes is banned from every platform.
Eliyahu
She is a dumb black woman that makes anti Semites look exceptionally low iq. Like her brand of antisemitism is extraordinarily low iq. I think anybody with any media literacy looks at her shit and goes, wow, what a moron.
Tim Pool
Well, I mean, obviously you're personally offended by the things that she says and does.
Eliyahu
I just think it's so naked. I thought she was dumb when she was pro Israel too, which she was very pro Israel in the.
Tim Pool
My. My point is this.
Eliyahu
This is the sin of Ben Shapiro. The Jews dealing with the sins of Ben Shapiro. Platforming again, this DEI right wing commentator. And he had some falling out with her and she was really pissed about. And she goes, you know what Ben Shapiro loves? Ben Shapiro loves is they had a falling out together.
Tim Pool
Did they?
Eliyahu
Yeah, definitely they did.
Tim Pool
Answer me this.
Eliyahu
Well, I had a text that said, somebody text me.
Tim Pool
Answer me this, elad. Why does YouTube prop her up, promote her on the front page, make sure she gets millions of views for everything she says about Israel. Nick Fuentes can't have a YouTube channel and Spotify banned Nick when he actually got his show up. But Spotify props up, Candace.
Eliyahu
It's a DEI candidate. She is the DEI right wing commentator. Why you can't cancel black women. It would be racist. That's totally why.
Tim Pool
I don't think so.
Eliyahu
Yeah, that's what I think it is.
Phil Labonte
Honestly, I think the reason that Nick catches so much flack is because Nick's delivery has always been trolly.
Tim Pool
Yes.
Phil Labonte
Things intentionally to. To get people riled up.
Tim Pool
Kind of like when Candace owen says, Bridget McCrone's a man.
Phil Labonte
I don't think that it's truly.
Tim Pool
I think.
Phil Labonte
I think Bridget McCrone. I mean, I think that Candace Owen believes that.
Tim Pool
I don't.
Eliyahu
I think she. She doesn't use as many slurs as Nick does. And I think the slurs really gets you kicked off of the social media platform.
Tim Pool
I got that. I get that. But doesn't explain why he can't even have the channel. It's one thing that if he makes a channel and then they give him a strike for saying a racial slurp.
Eliyahu
Well, he did have a YouTube channel that was eventually canceled, but it wasn't so many strikes.
Tim Pool
I don't think. Yeah, but, but just like Steven Crowder, they're not legitimate strikes. Like, here's another example. Steven Crowder doesn't go anywhere near the degree that Fuentes does in his.
Eliyahu
In. In.
Tim Pool
In the hate. Or like, hates not the right word, but like the aggression, the, the. The way he insults people. Yet they give credit strikes like hotcakes. But not Candace Owens.
Eliyahu
Hey, maybe she got somebody and then the inside must be working with her, huh?
Tim Pool
Or she worked for the Daily Wire alongside Ben Shapiro. And it's, you know, I was talking to these young guys and they were like, you know, Candace Owens. You know, this is the funny thing about People are like, candace never said Israel did it. I talked to these young guys and they were like, do you. Do you believe what Candace is saying? That Israel killed Charlie Kirk? That's what they literally asked me, these three guys in their early 20s. And I was like, well, she didn't say explicitly that she. It's like implied that there's Israelis involved. And I said, but don't you guys think it's weird that she claims you can't criticize Israel, but YouTube makes her number one? And then they kind of were like, that is weird, isn't it?
Eliyahu
Saying that is what helps make her number one.
Nick Freitas
What?
Eliyahu
Saying that you. She can't talk about Israel. She's always a conspiracy around. That is why it's always the idea.
Nick Freitas
Of, I'm the victim. I'm the victim.
Tim Pool
It is kind of funny, though. It's like, clearly you're allowed to criticize Israel because she's number one.
Eliyahu
Like, it's fascinating too, because she used to be like the anti victimhood mentality type person. That used to be like her catchphrase at Blexit. I still remember those days where she's like, I'm against victimhood mentality. But now all of her content is about her.
Tim Pool
Here's a good one. One goat says, Candace Owens, Ian Carol, Nick Fuentes, Valhalla, and others of the future. We're done listening to these whiny, dishing out their dumb opinions. We want truth, evidence and facts. And then it's. I think it's those middle finger emojis. Tim Tool. The funny thing is, Ian Carroll once claimed I was trying to buy the Daily Wire.
Nick Freitas
He did.
Eliyahu
Crazy.
Tim Pool
He did. He literally came out of the story. And I don't gotta be within Ian Carroll, but he was like, Tim Pool was trying to buy the Daily Wire. And it's like, yes, yes, I have that much money. Wow. That's amazing.
Eliyahu
I think he also. Go on.
Tim Pool
No, it's just. It's remarkable the insane ish that comes out of this sector of the Internet where they were. They claimed that Daily Wire owned a portion of Tim Castle. They literally were spreading rumors that we. That they were. That Daily Wire was a minority holder of Tim Cast. And then at the same time, they said I was trying to buy the Daily Wire. It's.
Eliyahu
It's.
Tim Pool
Here we are one year on from this retarded BS doing the same thing we've always done. And it was really funny because I had someone ask me and they were like, is this true that you're trying to, like, buy out the Daily Wire? And then I was just like, first of all, that's insane. And they were like, well, what about the rumor that they own a piece of Tim Cast? And I said, give it a month. And then what happened? We signed a deal with Rumble and we announced that we're with Rumble. And we have this YouTube short that's going. That's just constantly viral about Tim Cast on Rumble. It got like half a million views in the past two days. It gets like a million. It's got 3 million views. And all of the BS these people were spewing. And I'm not saying Candace, specifically like this sector of the Internet. I was like, I'm sitting here, have a conversation with Rumble about, you know, bringing IRL live to Rumble, doing Rumble Premium. Like, we've got a bunch of big plans that we're working on with Rumble. I'm like, who makes this stuff up? It's crazy.
Eliyahu
I was actually reviewing some other stuff since you mentioned Ian Carroll, and it reminded me of this tweet that he released in March 29, alleging that there's an RFK Jr. Blackmail story from multiple angles that came. Candace Owens also pushed these retards, pushed so much bullshit that it's really hard to forget the actual dumb shit that they push. And again, why does this matter? Why is this an issue? It's because instead of, again, paying attention to the important political stories or engaging in politics in a serious way, it's easy to digest this stupid Netflix true crime type bullshit that really, I don't know, gets your brain going, gets the adrenaline running, but isn't necessarily true. It's not based on anything but conjecture and. And text messages that people are just sending each other.
Tim Pool
Quantum cool says Candace is a Fed. She's trying to destroy Turning Point USA to what, get rich and cover for extreme trans ideology? She never left the left. Her Views are full of bots.
Eliyahu
I think she's appealing to third World. This. I think that's what it is. I think, like, the person that you met, they're just happy when they. When she blames anything on Israel.
Tim Pool
There's. There's. There's what, one point, 1.6 billion Muslims?
Eliyahu
Maybe we should start doing. Appealing to Muslims, huh?
Tim Pool
Appealing to Muslims. You're gonna. You're gonna convert, you're gonna abandon.
Eliyahu
Oh, no, God forbid I would revert. I hate how they say that. It's the most arrogant thing could say. It's like, oh, no, you're not converted. You're coming back. No, buddy, I'm a Jew.
Phil Labonte
It's just like when they say Christ was a Muslim.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Oh, everybody knows we got Yaki. And he says, why is no one talking about how weird their marriage is? No romantic talk and him attracted to her power so much that he proposed after 17 days. Nothing to see here. Is that what it was?
Nick Freitas
It was. Yeah. It was quick.
Tim Pool
Like two weeks. They got married.
Eliyahu
The.
Tim Pool
The.
Nick Freitas
I. I got two weeks proposed. I don't know. Two weeks of married.
Tim Pool
I'm gonna say this, guys. I really do recommend you watch the show she put out today, because I can't remember who said it, but someone in here, someone in pre production, we were getting ready to set it. It sounded like she was in love with Charlie. I'm not. I'm not exaggerating. I'm not being cute nor derisive. She talks about how she used to, like, send him texts saying, I feel like an alien. And he'd respond with, I'm a time traveler. I'm not joking. That he's like, I'm a time traveler. And you know stuff like, I believe in you. And she tells stories about how he would ask her. She was like, I was always his wingman. It really sounds like she is the friend zoned. Like she was in love with him, and he cast her aside, and she's very jealous. And maybe the reason. I'm not trying to be cute, this is.
Eliyahu
You think she has a thing for white men?
Tim Pool
I mean, isn't she married to one?
Eliyahu
I don't know. Yeah, married to one.
Tim Pool
Point.
Eliyahu
Is this on Charlie Kirk?
Tim Pool
This is not meant to be intentionally insulting or derisive. I do genuinely believe that listening to that show today where she talked about Charlie, it sounded like she was in love. And I have to imagine what she must feel knowing Erica Kirk inherited and took over what Charlie built, even though Candace was there from the beginning. And Candace got to Watch Charlie, who was her best friend and she was the wingman, go with some other woman. I think the motivation may be that Candace, she can't come out and say she hates Erica because Erica's a widow. I mean, her husband's murdered, and she knows it's a peer angle she can't take. She goes after instead Tyler and Colvette. I think Candace is just jealous that Charlie didn't want to be with her. And again, not trying to be insulting or aggressive. I think that's a genuine motivation, and I understand now. Watch the show she did today. It's not Meant to Be Cute, where she talks about the texts and she was telling him what clothes to wear on his dates and how she was the wingman and these texts about how she felt like an alien and he said he was a time traveler. I'm like, is this. Is this like a. I'm not kidding. It's like. It's like a romance novel. It's a. This is why women probably love it because she. It's. It's almost like a romance drama, like a telenova.
Eliyahu
I see.
Tim Pool
I'm not drama. She's showing text messages where he says, I'm a time traveler, and she says, I'm an alien.
Eliyahu
I don't speak Spanish, baby. Come on, America. Only.
Tim Pool
Janet's water says. Someone explained to me how Candace is on the front page of YouTube's Featured, yet the only time they put Tim cast IRL on the Featured is an episode from five years ago. And as YouTube's members only. This is the weirdest thing YouTube has featured for a year now. An old episode from, like, the first two weeks of Tim cast IRL that is members only. I don't know why it's members only. I don't know that we ever did that. Because I. I don't care if people watch the first episode.
Eliyahu
I get that video all the time.
Tim Pool
By the way, I meet, yes, Very.
Eliyahu
Very odd Members only in, like, a weird studio.
Tim Pool
Our first studio in the basement in Jersey.
Eliyahu
Very weird with Adam and. And it's.
Tim Pool
And it says YouTube featured on it, and it makes no sense. I don't get it at all. Very weird. I don't know.
Eliyahu
Episode of Tim cast irl.
Tim Pool
So you aren't, like, promoting those in any way? No. That's so weird because I get them all the time as well.
Eliyahu
All the time.
Tim Pool
It's weird. Interesting. It's so weird. I don't understand. Why won't it just promote, like, the show now? Yeah, I get that promotion and I get almost zero promotion. Wait, hold on. Maybe there's a way we can. We can. We can do something here. Let's go to that video and make a thumbnail.
Eliyahu
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Oh, that's genius.
Nick Freitas
Need title and thumbnail. Very, very similar.
Tim Pool
And.
Nick Freitas
And.
Tim Pool
And have it be like. Just have it say, subscribe it Tim. Subscribe to Tim. Cast irl.
Phil Labonte
I've got IRL pulled up right now, and that. That specific video is over in the. On the. On the right side.
Tim Pool
This is premium, like, members only stuff.
Phil Labonte
Right on the bottom.
Tim Pool
Yes.
Phil Labonte
Featured members only.
Tim Pool
Okay, I'm gonna pull up Breathing Elon's Musk.
Phil Labonte
New. New trend has kids licking toilets. Is the.
Tim Pool
There it is. Look at this. No joke. Yeah. There. YouTube featured right here. That's what I'm talking about.
Eliyahu
It's everywhere.
Tim Pool
New trend has kids licking toilets. Yeah, it's five years ago. The coronavirus challenge. Yep. Dude, it's. You know what I mean? We should just. If we. Maybe it's featured because it is members only, and I don't know why it's members only. It might have been that at some point five years ago. I don't know.
Eliyahu
The YouTube algorithm has been trash for some time, frankly, so I wouldn't be surprised.
Tim Pool
You know what? I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to leave it as is because it's. It's promoting it like crazy to people. But it's free advertising, so, you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't know why they're promoting it, but whatever. Also, this. This song, Breathing Elon's Musk is hilarious, by the way. All right, what do we got here? What is this? K. Gorski says? Enough, Candace, please. I hate to say it, but while I. I agree on the sentiment of, like, does her story really matter? It got to the point where it did. It got to the point where she put out a post and got 8 million views insinuating turning points, involved in his murder. And it's like the fifth time she's made these insinuations. So it's like. Yeah, it's. It's affecting people. All right, what do we got? All right. Larp. Laugh Love says Tim. It's only poor trigger discipline if Franklin is aiming at something he doesn't intend to shoot. So in a lot of the Franklin videos, he's got his finger directly on the trigger, and he's 0.8 luck by this. That is poor trigger discipline.
Nick Freitas
That's true.
Phil Labonte
It is portrait discipline. Fingers straighten off the drink.
Nick Freitas
Someone needs. Someone needs to do a. Franklin learns trigger discipline. No, because you know that.
Phil Labonte
You know that the. The AI generated image would be like, Franklin shot his friend.
Tim Pool
All right, what is this? Jay's Jason Dix says, hey, Tim. Shout out to the Pre. Shout out to the Pre show in the Discord members exclusive. Also shout out to Mark Coo. He took my job. I'm not bitter. He's a good man. Shout out to Mark. So in the Discord, we have Slick and Olivia. They host a show. And the Tim cast co hosts. Come on and join it. The Discord community runs its own shows. We don't tell them what to do. It is a community of people who build things because they want to build things. And they're wondering why you don't want to be friends with them. I think you should be by going to timcast.com and clicking join us and getting in the Discord server. It is fun. And then there's something all day, every day. If you're bored and you're looking for information, like, imagine this. Imagine there's a story that comes out you don't quite understand, and I don't have any videos up or anything. You go in the Discord and you post about it. Everyone's sharing information. And these are good people who. We have a similar moral worldview that the truth is more important than our political view on what should be. It matters what is. Because if we want to make the world work, the first thing we do is figure out what's true and then what we have to do to get to our solution. So shout out to the Discord. All right, what have we here? Crystal Gazer says Nick, my brother, was killed in January of 24 in a hit and run in Newport News, Virginia. The man who killed my brother was just sentenced to six months in jail. Without going into all the details of the case here, is there anything more my family can do? You.
Nick Freitas
You can attempt to appeal the decision. You're in Newport News.
Tim Pool
Good gosh. What's wrong with newborn news?
Nick Freitas
Well, let's just say the representation there isn't the best. So, yeah, here's the deal.
Tim Pool
You.
Nick Freitas
You can. You can definitely attempt to contact your state legislators and ask them about it. Now, I will say this.
Tim Pool
There.
Nick Freitas
There is obviously separation of powers between your legislatures and the. And the judiciary. So we're always careful about what we theoretically, you know, interfere with on things like that. But you can attempt to appeal the decision. You can attempt to contact the Attorney General's office if you think there's been kind of a like a tragic miscarriage of justice on that.
Tim Pool
Oh, hey, welcome to gift wrapping. Whoa. So isl Donna.
T-Mobile Representative
Hey, can you wrap these please?
Nick Freitas
Wow.
Eliyahu
IPhone 17s, you splurged at T Mobile.
T-Mobile Representative
You can get four iPhone 17s on them. New center stage front camera is amazing for group selfies. It's the perfect gift for everyone.
Tim Pool
I'm the worst.
Eliyahu
I only got my mom a robe.
T-Mobile Representative
Well, it's better than socks.
Eliyahu
So I have to trade in my old phone, right?
T-Mobile Representative
No AT T mobile. There's no trade ins needed when you switch. Keep your old phone or give it as a gift.
Eliyahu
Incredible.
T-Mobile Representative
In fact, wrap up my old phone too for my aunt Rosa.
Eliyahu
Forget that.
T-Mobile Representative
Aunt Liz will be jealous.
Eliyahu
Sounds like my family drama.
T-Mobile Representative
Oh, I got it. I'll give it to my abuela. I'll take reindeer paper with. Hey, where are you going?
Tim Pool
To T Mobile. The holidays are better. AT T Mobile get four iPhone 17s on us. No trade in needed when you switch plus four lines for just 25 bucks a line. And now T Mobile is available in US cellular stores with 24 month legal credits and four eligible board inside essentials for well qualified customers bought on pay plus taxes, fees and $35 device connection charge credits ended balance due if you pay off early or cancel. Contact Us Finance Agreement 256 gigabytes. $830 required.
Nick Freitas
Visit T mobile.com those are the different legal mechanisms that you can take. The other thing that you can do is depending on, you know, you can get the information out about the judge that actually, you know, did the decision of the sentencing. The other thing, the other question is, is your commonwealth attorney for your area, did they offer a plea? Is that why you only got six months for this? Was it, was there something else that the commonwealth attorney did because they're elected and so you can theoretically go after the commonwealth attorney during the next election cycle. I wish I could give you like a better response on the things that you could do to try to correct for this, but those are the various mechanisms available.
Tim Pool
So we put up a poll and it said Candace is right or Candace is wrong. It's 59% Candace is wrong, 41% Candace is right. I guess my follow up is just what is she right about?
Nick Freitas
Okay, this is, this is what's killing me about this. This is why I go back to like, regardless of where you stand on this issue, is there anyone that can tell me that she is anything other than his best friend or his worst enemy?
Tim Pool
Right.
Nick Freitas
Because this is what this Is what troubles me about this is that if you're willing to look at this subjectively and you just say, I find what she says convincing, so far, that's fine. I do not. I do not find what she has said convincing. But if you do, my question is, is what is the standard of truth that you're actually going to utilize? Because at some point there can no longer be. I have evidence and I'm going to present it, and then there's no evidence, or the evidence is not sufficient to actually prove what she's saying. And this goes back to what you're saying before. What is the standard for truth?
Tim Pool
We got Amish, man. He says Tim is going so hard against Candace, it's almost like Israel paid him. Amish, man, you are a. Like, this is the crazy thing that you always have to be paid by someone else.
Phil Labonte
Yep.
Tim Pool
Like a business can't just exist. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I did a poll, 40, 60% right now. 40% say Candace is right. Well, brother, you paid me, bro. You sent a five dollar super chat to me that I'm gonna use to do this show. It's crazy that it's like you can literally see the super chat money come in. Yeah, we had 25. Was it $25,000 in super chats when Tim Ballard was on from when we were talking about Sound of Freedom. And it's just like, how does Tim get his money? I don't know. There's like 10 million subscribers on all the platforms. We have discord with tens of thousands of people in it. Why does it have to be Israel paying?
Phil Labonte
I constantly get. I constantly get that I'm an Israeli shill because the dudes that owned the label that all that remains used to be on were Jewish. So because they're Jewish, I'm an Israeli shill.
Eliyahu
The super chatter is outing himself as Israeli.
Tim Pool
Well, by Israel, I mean, I think you should maybe. Maybe a lot can explain what two weeks is really about.
Eliyahu
Because Israelis don't pay Tim.
Tim Pool
Guys.
Eliyahu
Tim pays Israelis.
Tim Pool
What people don't realize is that if you read the. If you play. If you play two weeks backwards, it's actually like rabbinical chant.
Eliyahu
It's just.
Tim Pool
It's just pure Jewish Torah.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Eliyahu
And for.
Phil Labonte
To. To a lot's point, my manager's Jewish and my business manager are Jewish, so I am actually paying the Jews.
Eliyahu
Although I do think Talmudic Tim does have a nice ring too, actually. That is.
Tim Pool
That is funny too. Israel's not paying me. The Jews are not paying me. I'm paying him. He's sitting right here.
Nick Freitas
That's how sneaky it gets.
Tim Pool
That's right.
Phil Labonte
Wait a minute. I, I rent a room to a Jewish guy, so there's. So that's one that's paying me.
Nick Freitas
Okay.
Tim Pool
Oh, you're not paid by the Jews.
Phil Labonte
I'm the landlord to a Jew.
Tim Pool
Yeah, you're not. You're not paid by the Jews. You're paid by Jew.
Nick Freitas
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
By ag.
Eliyahu
How the tables have turned.
Nick Freitas

Episode Theme:
A raw and contentious breakdown of recent allegations by Candace Owens implicating Turning Point USA in the death of Charlie Kirk—suggesting motives tied to Israel and a failed Netanyahu deal—and exploration of how sensationalism, conspiracy, and media manipulation infect conservative politics .
This episode dives into the firestorm following Candace Owens’ viral social media posts alleging that Turning Point USA (TPUSA)—the organization Charlie Kirk founded—betrayed and may have been involved in his murder, possibly motivated by a dropped deal with Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi) that supposedly cost TPUSA millions. The panel unpacks the rhetoric, implications, and motivations behind Candace’s actions and critiques the broader trend of conspiratorial content in conservative media, also tying in parallel controversies (Mark Kelly/"Seditious Six", White House meme wars, and more).
(06:42–24:30, 40:57–48:02)
Owens’ Claim: Publicly insists she has received proof that TPUSA’s leadership “betrayed” Charlie Kirk, strongly implying (though stopping just short of direct accusation) that they were complicit in his death — citing multinational involvement and financial motives (failed Netanyahu deal, French Foreign Legion references).
“Andrew had told them that when Charlie said no to Bibi, he lost out on millions. ...I have that tip in writing. I’m not lying to you.”
“I now can say with full confidence that I believe Charlie Kirk was betrayed by the leadership of Turning Point USA and some of the very people who eulogized him on stage...Yes, I will be naming names...request a refund.”
Owens’ Insinuation Tactics:
Panel Criticism:
“If somebody came out and started making accusations that both the organization that I built and the woman I dedicated my life to were somehow complicit in my murder, I would hope they had real receipts before they were willing to put my wife or my organization...on the line for that."
"It’s all implication. And she's covering her tracks by saying, ‘that’s how I feel.’ I hate the whole thing, from top to bottom...all of the people talking about Charlie’s murder, post Charlie’s murder."
“The idea that you would try to destroy them and get everybody to pull their donations using the insinuation they murdered Charlie Kirk is evil.”
“When I see the things she’s saying and I know these techniques of manipulation...it’s manipulative language intentionally to trick people…”
"She’s really willing to peddle bullshit and rumors and spin up fake narratives to try to get clicks...She knows that she’s spreading stuff that is BS, but she believes it will get her clicks."
(20:02–24:30; 47:39–48:33)
“She talks about how she used to, like, send him texts saying, I feel like an alien. And he’d respond with, I’m a time traveler...It sounds like she is the friend zoned...and she’s very jealous.”
(27:28–30:55)
“They’re not going to [sue]. Because the law doesn’t work to protect you in any meaningful way...If Turning Point were to sue...there would be depositions and discovery...she will then use [that] on her show...She’s been able to get more than two months of content out of saying nothing. No evidence.”
(24:30–32:00; 36:38–37:10)
(65:15–89:41)
“Again, my background was unconventional warfare and counterinsurgency...The thing that, again, there’s two things about this that really piss me off....the whole idea of, am I going to...will there be a future regime...that’s going to come in and now determine three years after the fact...you executed [an order that] was unlawful and now we’re punishing you.”
(51:30–62:20)
(43:23–44:33; 112:44–114:55)
Candace's Insinuation
“She is not just implying that [TPUSA] were involved in the murder of Charlie Kirk, but that everybody should get a refund...She tweets, ‘I received information last night that put the final pieces together’...”
Panel Critique of Rhetoric
“Before [accusing] my wife or my organization, my life’s work...I would hope that they had real receipts before they were willing to put my wife or my organization...on the line for that.”
“It’s all implication. And [Owens is] covering her tracks by saying, ‘That’s how I feel.’ It’s all implication...It’s really gross.”
On Manipulation / Media Literacy
“This is basic manipulative rhetoric, social engineering where you say things so that the other person makes an assumption and then you can’t be held liable...”
On Content Style
“It’s a true crime drama and it plays really, really well among women.”
On Malice and Intent
“Malice in the legal sense. I think that she is fully cognizant of what she’s doing...I think she’s a genius...But when I see these techniques in manipulation...it’s manipulative language intentionally to trick people.”
On Macrons Lawsuit
“She will not win this...because when the French government says, ‘we are going to your courts’...If you go up against the French government and the US backs her over a NATO ally – it’s not going to happen.”
On Why TPUSA Won't Sue Owens
“They’re not going to [sue]...there would be depositions and discovery...she will then use [that] on her show.”
On Civil-Military Division
“This is illegal...Mark Kelly’s actions fall perfectly under [18 USC 2387]...They need to be criminally charged. If they are not, this will keep getting worse...Otherwise it just gets worse.”
On Conservative Movement and Truth
"Do we still believe in standards of truth? Do we still believe in objective standards?"
On Candace’s Jealousy/Friendzone Theory
"She talks about how she used to, like, send him texts saying, I feel like an alien. And he’d respond with, I’m a time traveler...It sounds like she is the friend zoned...and she’s very jealous."
Owens’ Supporters’ Reaction, According to Panel
“Who really betrayed Charlie Kirk? ...She’s actively trying to destroy Charlie Kirk’s legacy.”
Final Notable Quote [48:33, Tim Pool]:
“That is manipulative language used by powerful people. This is what Candace does. So when she comes on her show and says they betrayed Charlie, she’s already said it feels like an inside job. So what else could she be insinuating? And then her diehards with 5th grade reading levels are like, I am going to fill the dots, whatever. I want to be true.”
