Introduction

In this episode of Timcast IRL, host Tim Pool engages in a robust discussion with guests Ian Crossland, Luke Rudkowski, Jack Posobiec, and Peter Hotez.

Unknown Disease in Africa and Pandemic Forecasts

[00:52] The episode kicks off with alarming news about an unknown disease that has claimed 143 lives in Southwest Congo. Pool raises concerns about the potential for pandemics targeting the Trump administration, referencing a video statement from Dr. Peter Hotez.

[02:45] Peter Hotez:
"Here's the reason why we need to care about this stuff, Nicole, is that we have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st... We have another major coronavirus likely brewing in Asia..."

Hotez elaborates on the emergence of various viruses, including H5N1 in wild birds and potential new coronaviruses, emphasizing the risks posed by vaccine-preventable diseases due to anti-vaccine activism.

[04:15] Tim Pool:
"All of that's going to come crashing down and then this is just, you know, speculative. But unknown disease killing 143..."

Pool draws parallels to the initial COVID-19 outbreak, expressing skepticism about linking unrelated health events while acknowledging the unpredictability of pandemics.

[05:05] Jack Posobiec:
"I think this happens frequently where it sounds scary that it's like 100 people passed away over something that they can't figure out, but they're the third world."

Posobiec and Crossland suggest that the outbreak could be a severe flu season exacerbated by poor sanitation and lack of medical infrastructure.

Bitcoin Market Analysis

The conversation shifts to Bitcoin, noting its surge to $103,000 per BTC, a significant 3% increase within 30 minutes.

[02:45] Peter Hotez introduces the economic implications of rising Bitcoin prices, which Ganguli interprets as a response to political and economic turmoil.

[02:45] Peter Hotez:
"What happened was Trump won the election. People demand for bitcoin started going up..."

[06:07] Ian Crossland:
"Yeah, that's terrifyingly obvious. Dude, how else are you going to fix fucking inflation?"

[07:27] Jack Posobiec:
"I don't understand like the technicality behind it, but it would ever be possible."

The panel debates Bitcoin's potential to replace the US dollar, discussing its limited supply and resistance to government manipulation. Crossland envisions Bitcoin reaching half a million dollars, while Pool remains optimistic about its long-term value despite potential short-term fluctuations.

[13:36] Ian Crossland:
"Million."

[19:12] Luke Rudkowski:
"No, no, Bitcoin is a global thing. It's not something that's limited to just one country."

[22:44] Jack Posobiec:
"Of course, yeah."

The guests emphasize Bitcoin's decentralized nature, its resilience against inflation, and the challenges of transitioning from a fiat-based economy to a cryptocurrency-dominated one.

---

Political Discussions: Pardons and Accountability

A significant portion of the episode delves into the Trump administration's potential use of pardons for high-profile figures like Dr. Fauci, Liz Cheney, and Adam Schiff.

[25:50] Ian Crossland:
"So my question is for the entire panel. So earlier today, the White House officials have hinted at giving preemptive pardons..."

[26:19] Luke Rudkowski:
"I don't know what your average person can do, but the goal is to challenge it in court, challenge it as a constitutionality..."

[27:06] Ian Crossland:
"What the hell kind of sense. They pardoned a guy for the future..."

The guests express concern over blanket pardons potentially safeguarding individuals from future accountability. Posobiec underscores the importance of public pressure and transparency to ensure justice.

[28:10] Jack Posobiec:
"Keep it in the forefront of the social media conversation... because without public pressure, they're never gonna be taken to, brought to justice."

---

Corporate DEI Practices

The discussion transitions to the influence of DEI initiatives within corporations, highlighting efforts by companies like Walmart, Target, and Harley Davidson to rebrand or intensify their DEI strategies.

[40:48] Luke Rudkowski:
"We can't talk about it, we have to hide it because nobody wants it, but we need to make sure they take it."

[45:57] Luke Rudkowski:
"They were essentially extortion racket... It was either get on board or you won't get opportunities."

The panel critiques DEI as a "brainwashing" tool and argues that corporations are embedding these practices deeper under different names like "Bridge Smart," making them less transparent but more pervasive.

[47:04] Ian Crossland:
"They're dealing with companies like IMAX, Campbell's, and Colgate Palmolive..."

[48:22] Tim Pool:
"Those are the communists."

The guests advocate for consumer awareness and support of companies aligned with American values, suggesting the creation of apps to identify and choose such businesses.

---

Assassination of United Healthcare CEO

[29:50] Ian Crossland:
"Hey, so I have a question about the United Healthcare CEO assassination... how likely do you think it is that the assassination is expressly political?"

The panel discusses the potential motivations behind the assassination, debating whether it was a crime of passion or a politically motivated act linked to RFK Jr.'s prospective role in the administration.

[32:42] Jack Posobiec:
"If he gets caught, one thing, multimillion dollar contractor, he's probably gone by now..."

[34:53] Ian Crossland:
"It's wild how normalized wearing a mask has become that now criminals in broad daylight are all masked up."

They analyze the social climate fueling such extreme actions, attributing it to widespread distrust and resentment towards elites and corporations.

---

Closing Remarks

As the episode concludes, the host and guests reflect on the week's discussions, reiterating concerns over political integrity, economic stability, and societal shifts driven by corporate agendas. They encourage listeners to stay informed, engage in public discourse, and support movements aligned with their values.

[49:37] Tim Pool:
"All right, Decoy voice. It was great to have you."

[49:44] Tim Pool:
"Thanks for calling in. That was fun. What a good show."

The episode wraps up with promotional messages and acknowledgments, maintaining the platform's commitment to uncensored and independent analysis.

What could it be? What could have killed these people? Ask him. No, it's an unknown disease.

[Luke Rudkowski]

So let's see if I can figure.

[Tim Pool]

Out how to work this without, without surge here. What time is it? There's a. Is there a button over here for it? There's no button. What is this?

[Ian Crossland]

You may be muted.

[Tim Pool]

I'm not muted. I can see this. Yeah.

[Ian Crossland]

Serge take the night off, does he?

[Luke Rudkowski]

No, he. He's slow because of his broken leg.

[Tim Pool]

Bitcoin's at 103,000. I'm over here. What do we got?

[Ian Crossland]

Holy shit.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Oh, wow.

[Ian Crossland]

That's 3% in 50 minutes and 30 minutes.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I'm surprised that it hasn't had a. That there isn't a bigger sell off right now. Some people trying to cash out.

[Jack Posobiec]

New story we're missing with bitcoin right now that some like government overseas announce something. Is it the thing with France right now?

[Tim Pool]

I don't know bitcoin Well, I mean.

[Jack Posobiec]

Because what everybody's talking about, the French government, they collapsed. Collapsed.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, but that, that doesn't mean anything. That just means that they're going to vote for a new parliament or some.

[Jack Posobiec]

Oh, I. Okay.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Honestly, South Korea just woke up and maybe they're like, oh, we had some destabilized stuff going on in, in our country. So we're going to buy bitcoin. You know, Southeast Asia, Rome.

[Ian Crossland]

Powell said it's like gold six hours ago.

[Tim Pool]

Now here's what happened. What happened was Trump won the election. People demand for bitcoin started going up. A lot of people had their bitcoin set to sell at 100,000. That was the resistance. And so you needed demand to surpass that amount of bitcoin. So it was just hitting the wall over and over again. Then it finally chipped away and cracked over it. And now it's going to skyrocket because demand is still there. Been pumping since the having as always. So anyway, let's talk about this unknown disease. We got this video of Peter Hotez. Listen to this.

[Peter Hotez]

Here's the reason why we need to care about this stuff, Nicole, is that we have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st. Mr. Bloomberg mentioned H5N1 that I'm really worried about. It's all over. Wild birds on the western part of the United States and going up in the north. It's getting into the poultry. We're seeing sporadic human cases. No human to human transmission yet. But that could happen. It's in the cattle, it's in the milk. And that's just the begin. We have another major coronavirus likely brewing in Asia. We've had SARS in 2002, SARS 2, COVID 19 in 2019. And we know these viruses are jumping from bats to people thousands of times a year. But there's still more. We know that we have a big problem with mosquito transmitted viruses all along the Gulf coast where I am here in Texas or expecting dengue, possibly Zika virus coming back or a pooch virus, maybe even yellow fever. And there's more. Then we have all this sharp rise in vaccine preventable diseases going up because of in part the anti vaccine activism that's so prominent right now. We have a five fold rise in pertussis cases, whooping cough over the last year, 15 measles outbreaks this year we've got polio that's been in the wastewater in New York State. All that's going to come crashing down on January 21st on the Trump administration. We need a really, really good team to be able to handle this.

[Tim Pool]

All of that's going to come crashing down and then this is just, you know, speculative. But unknown disease killing 143. They said infected people had flu like symptoms including high fever and severe headaches. A medical team has been sent to the Ponzi health zone to collect samples. You know, look, I'm, I'm not convinced anything like that's going to happen. But I just know that when Covid happened the first time, nobody saw it coming. Nobody thought it could happen. And then it did. What we saw was that people in China were getting sick and falling over in viral videos and everyone's like, well, you know, that's nothing. And then all of a sudden, the whole country is locked down for two years. So maybe we're just connecting dots that don't even. Don't need to be connected. And the Congo's often got unknown diseases that kill people. And what are you gonna do about it?

[Jack Posobiec]

I think this happens frequently where it sounds scary that it's like 100 people passed away over something that they can't figure out, but they're the third world. If it was just a really harsh flu season, they probably wouldn't be able to identify it either.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, flu, like symptoms. Maybe it's the fucking flu or a fucking influenza virus of some sort. Maybe. Who knows? Maybe they didn't have fucking soap. Maybe they didn't have, like, running water, clean water. Maybe they were eating too much shit.

[Jack Posobiec]

But the next pandemic.

[Ian Crossland]

Tired of this motherfucker.

[Jack Posobiec]

The next pandemic is Peter Hotez's version of a car tumbling and rear ending him on livestream.

[Ian Crossland]

Dude.

[Tim Pool]

Yo, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I think bitcoin's going to hit half a million or some crazy shit tonight. Well, not tonight, but sure. If. Listen, if this weird pandemic shit happens, if war exacerbates and all that, if. If the deep state tries to make an attack on the economy or one of the things they've talked about is that they're going to let Trump win and then nuke the economy so that they can say, you deserve this, it's your own fault, and then try and use it as a point for the. For 20, 28 and beyond. To be like, don't let people like Trump win. They're going to say, like, see the border. Securing the borders is bad for the economy. See, war is good for the economy. You don't want to live that way. Give us control if the economy tanks. Bitcoin.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Not necessarily.

[Ian Crossland]

They get it.

[Tim Pool]

Not necessarily because bitcoin becomes more valuable, but because the dollar becomes less valuable.

[Ian Crossland]

It's just terrifyingly obvious. That's. Dude, how else are you going to fix fucking inflation? The only way is if we retrofit our economy.

[Tim Pool]

You nuke the economy, let the petrodollar die and convert to bitcoin or something else.

[Ian Crossland]

And then just half 90% of the country is going to be living as serfs to the 10% that have Bitcoin.

[Tim Pool]

I think Trump's going to buy half a billion in bitcoin or more.

[Ian Crossland]

He better.

[Luke Rudkowski]

That would rule.

[Ian Crossland]

Dude, more.

[Tim Pool]

What is the market look at El Salvador, dude. Yeah, El Salvador is sitting pretty holy.

[Ian Crossland]

What's the. What's the market?

[Tim Pool]

I Bokel just sitting there being like, told you something.

[Ian Crossland]

The thing is the total market cap of. Of crypto is 3.6 trillion.

[Tim Pool]

That's it, bro.

[Ian Crossland]

And I feel like Federal Reserve could just print that when it broke a trillion.

[Tim Pool]

That was a big deal.

[Ian Crossland]

But it's not that much relative to what the government could just print.

[Tim Pool]

That's why it's got to hit a million the print. Because then that.

[Luke Rudkowski]

What. Let's, let's.

[Tim Pool]

Let's take a look at when it's a million 30 trillion market cap, then the US is at a range. So. Yeah. So I. I think bitcoin goes to a million at some point. I'm not saying anytime soon. I don't know when. But that means one sat. The lowest position of a Bitcoin is one. One cent. One set is one cent. That's the game. And back it's 50 sets for the. For that candy bar.

[Jack Posobiec]

I don't understand like the technicality behind it, but it would ever be possible. Like I think Ron Paul talked about retathering the US Dollar to gold. Could that be done or no?

[Tim Pool]

Nope. There's too many dollars and there's too little gold. So if you were to try and tether the $2 gold, then the amount, like the amount of gold would be tiny little flakes.

[Jack Posobiec]

But like, I mean like, like bitcoin, you buy 1/100th of a hundredth of a hundredth of a bitcoin, just not possible. Like nobody's.

[Luke Rudkowski]

You can do that because that's drill.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Oh, that's right. You're gonna buy a gold flake and be like, here's a dollar.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Yeah. Like right now, an ounce of gold is like $2700 or something like that. Holy.

[Jack Posobiec]

Holy.

[Ian Crossland]

Dude.

[Tim Pool]

The US dollar is.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah. The only thing we can do to fix the dollar is guys, the energy system. But even then, like we need bitcoin.

[Tim Pool]

Is not going up. The dollar is going down.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, I think it is both. Like Phil pointed out, it's tripled. The bitcoin's tripled in 10 months. We haven't tripled our debt.

[Tim Pool]

But let me tell you this. If. If you track the prices of houses out here to bitcoin stable.

[Ian Crossland]

Interesting.

[Tim Pool]

So there was a house nearby here for like three, two, two and a half years ago, and it was for $250,000. Today it's going for 550 something. Nuts. And we're talking to people in the neighborhood. We're like, who the fuck's gonna buy a three bedroom for that price? And they're like, everything's that high, all of it. I'm like, damn, why the fuck is everything skyrocketing like that now? What's up?

[Ian Crossland]

What?

[Tim Pool]

Oh, so if you're.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, they're inversely proportional.

[Tim Pool]

If you got a more.

[Ian Crossland]

If.

[Tim Pool]

Check it out. If you buy a property for $500,000 and then in two years the market collapses, the property is worth a million dollars. You sell it, you pay off the loan and you got cash in your pocket now that the cash goes very far. But this is, you know, under levered a lot of businesses. The United States does this. They'll say to China like, hey, we want to, we want to buy, we want to buy a million dollars worth of debt from you. So give us the labor and we'll pay you back the million dollars. Or I'm sorry, I got it backwards. China will say we'll, we'll, we'll take $1 million in the U.S. the USA, okay, we'll pay you for $1 million worth of labor. Then the U.S. intentionally devalues the dollar so the true amount of labor paid back is half.

[Luke Rudkowski]

If you go. If you look at like back in like the Roman Empire, you could take one gold coin and you could get a nice tunic, a nice pair of sandals, a nice, nice belt. Basically get a full outfit that was like considered nice. It probably wouldn't be the best ever, but it was, you know, it was very, it was presentable. You could go and go to functions and stuff like that. Nowadays for $2700 you can get a decent suit, decent pair of shoes, decent belt. So essentially the value of a gold coin has stayed about the same. Right? You can, you can clothe yourself. You can get about the same amount of food or whatever with it. And that's because the value of commodities stays is similar relative to other commodities as opposed to, you know, the value of the dollar just continuing to go down because they continue to print.

[Ian Crossland]

I'd like to see a market like Coin Market Cap where you watch the value of bitcoin raise in all the different currencies. Like it went up obviously 7% in US dollars, but what percent has it gone up in? Yen?

[Luke Rudkowski]

You can do that on like. So I have, I have a, an app called Real Quick.

[Tim Pool]

A message was inscribed on one of the bullet casings in the assassination.

[Luke Rudkowski]

No, really, what we don't know yet.

[Jack Posobiec]

A.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Well, that's interesting.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Oh man. N Bukeli just posted the El Salvador's. El Salvador's holding. He's got 600. He's up $326 million. Dude. His port. The port. The. The portfolio for El Salvador is at 603 million, up 117%. Up 326 million. Wow. Total profit. 333,597,000.

[Ian Crossland]

In what? In one year or total?

[Tim Pool]

Since. Since 2022. Since the beginning of 2022.

[Ian Crossland]

Did it. Was that a. Do you know the percentage increase since then?

[Tim Pool]

117.74.

[Ian Crossland]

They more than doubled their net. Their GD, not their GDP, their.

[Tim Pool]

Their reserve. Amazing. But the question is, does he want to use that? Does he want to sell it off?

[Luke Rudkowski]

I doubt it.

[Tim Pool]

He just said, hold, hold, no, take loans against it.

[Luke Rudkowski]

All right, that's another. Yeah, he can take loans against it. Another thing is that we were talking about. If the US Starts buying a bitcoin holding, it would be really cool if the US And I don't think this would actually happen because it would. It would really crush the value of the dollar. But if they. If the US Started taking. Accepting taxes in Bitcoin, like you could pay taxes in bitcoin. There are other countries that have done that. But because the US has the world reserve currency, if the US did that, then it's actually. I think it actually might be. You could make the argument that the US Dollar is no longer the world's reserve currency and Bitcoin is actually the world reserve currency.

[Tim Pool]

You know, the funny thing is when people type in the wrong address oh, and everything disappears.

[Ian Crossland]

Yep. Gone for what a world back to like, you're in control of your own money.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Copy and paste is the. Is your friend when you're. When you're doing.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, but I mean, this is the scary thing about bitcoin, to be completely honest. They say they're only ever going to be 21 million. It's going to dwindle rapidly because I don't think people are accounting for human stupidity. Computers are going to break. Exchanges will go out of business. Servers will get fried. Someone's. Someone's already put their Bitcoin and cold storage and USB drive and they're like, don't forget, don't lose this one. And then the grandma came in and took it and she was like, oh, I need a hard drive for my movies. And then formatted it, put it in a computer and said, would you like to format the drive? Yep. Bang. Million dollars gone. Like, who's who? Like, are you really going to Think about it this way. You better the not put one bitcoin in cold storage on like a USB drive or something. That's a hundred grand on one. No, fuck that.

[Ian Crossland]

Million.

[Tim Pool]

One day you got to put like maybe put 10k on one USB and you break it up into a bunch of different USBs and you have a stack of them. But then liquidating, that's going to be a bit.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, Leaving it on exchanges, apparently is very vulnerable.

[Tim Pool]

Very.

[Ian Crossland]

Leaving it on coinbase. Leaving it.

[Tim Pool]

Very bad idea.

[Ian Crossland]

Mask any of that.

[Tim Pool]

Because you don't actually have it.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, technically you don't have it when it's on those thumb drives either.

[Tim Pool]

I think you have the key you could get like. That's what. That's what it is. You have the key to the. To the bitcoin, which is stored where.

[Ian Crossland]

I still don't.

[Luke Rudkowski]

On the actual blockchain. Yeah, it's in the computer program.

[Ian Crossland]

Fucking wild.

[Luke Rudkowski]

What it is, is the key. Your key unlocks the blockchain to make a change.

[Ian Crossland]

Some server. A group of servers.

[Luke Rudkowski]

No, no, no. It's the whole bitcoin network. All of the bitcoin, all of the computers that are mining bitcoin are actually running the same program. And they all have a copy of the bitcoin ledger that starts from whatever the date was in 2009 or whenever they started it. But every single. Every single bitcoin miner has a copy of the ledger from day one. So that's why. That's why like there's bitcoin conferences called consensus. Because the point is the. Is you have to have a consensus for all the computers that they agree.

[Tim Pool]

It's. It's forked a couple of times. I'm pretty sure where bitcoin cash was one of them. No, no, no, no, no. There were instances where bitcoin itself, due to just the nature of what bitcoin is, the network recognized two different forks instantly and they had to correct and chop one off. Oh, yeah. I gotta imagine it's hard forking like bitcoin cash and these other things.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, whatever that was in like 2016 or 17, I think.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. And everybody. If you had bitcoin, you have that too.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

If you owned bitcoin before the fork, you owned bitcoin on both chains. And they're worth money.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Bitcoin cash wasn't. I don't think it's worth much at all, but at a certain point it was worth more bch.

[Ian Crossland]

See it on here? What the fuck?

[Tim Pool]

Just type in bch price.

[Ian Crossland]

I got to imagine that Amazon has been their.

[Tim Pool]

Their argument for Bitcoin cash was that it was more in line with Satoshi's dream of using it as a currency. Whereas bitcoin and the way it's been developed as of late is more of an asset for holding Bitcoin cash is.

[Jack Posobiec]

Like what, 596 compared.

[Tim Pool]

Really? 596?

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah.

[Jack Posobiec]

103,000.

[Ian Crossland]

Number 17 total on the. On the list. It's the 17th high.

[Tim Pool]

So you know what I did when bitcoin cash forked? I sold my bitcoin cash and bought more Bitcoin.

[Ian Crossland]

That's exactly what I did today. Like the moment it happened, I did that. So I imagine Amazon is toying with accepting Bitcoin for payments, but that the US Government's probably stopped them because like you were saying, Phil, if they do, it'll just be like, all right, the US Dollar is toast.

[Luke Rudkowski]

No, it's. It's not. If it's not who accepts it, it's if the US Dollar. If the United States government accepts Bitcoin to pay taxes, right now, the only thing that gives value to the dollar is the fact that there is a demand for dollars because of taxation. The fact that the government says you must pay your taxes in American US Dollars, that means that there's always going to be a demand for those dollars. If they stop saying that you must pay taxes in dollars and say you can pay your taxes denoted in Bitcoin, then you're taking away the only thing that gives value to the dollar because the dollar's not backed by anything. The dollar is not backed by gold. It's not backed by anything at all. And in modern monetary theory, the thing that gives value to a currency is the fact that you have to pay taxes in that currency. So it's not that. It's not that, like, if they stop demanding dollars for taxation, then there's nothing that gives an actual value to the dollars.

[Ian Crossland]

And if they start.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I can't.

[Tim Pool]

Then.

[Ian Crossland]

I can't imagine they would do that yet. Because whoever's got all the bitcoin would be in charge of the world's.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Well, there's not one person that has all the bitcoin, but.

[Ian Crossland]

And right now the US Dollar has all the dollars because they have control of the printing machine, basically. And for them to diffuse that and just give power away would make no sense for the liberal economic order to.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I think to a degree, you're right. Yes. I'm not going to. I'm not. I think that you're. The way you conceptualize it is a little different than reality, but I think it's close enough to say, yeah, that's right.

[Ian Crossland]

Until they buy up 90% of it. But like, what?

[Luke Rudkowski]

The 90% of what?

[Ian Crossland]

Bitcoin.

[Luke Rudkowski]

But like, how are you going to buy up. Look, bitcoin is. Bitcoin is a global thing. It's not something that's limited to just one country.

[Ian Crossland]

Because it's only $2 trillion.

[Luke Rudkowski]

No, no, all of it. It's only $2 trillion value. That's not how many bitcoin there are.

[Ian Crossland]

Right, right. But if the US government hypothetically printed $2 trillion and went to every market on the planet and bought all the bitcoin they could.

[Luke Rudkowski]

It's mostly privately owned. Bitcoin isn't owned by. There are some countries that own bitcoin, but they'd have to find every single person that has a lot of bitcoin and buy their bitcoin.

[Ian Crossland]

And most people aren't. A lot of people aren't selling well.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I mean, I imagine most people don't want to sell. Yeah.

[Ian Crossland]

So it's not listed. So how much of trillions listed right now?

[Luke Rudkowski]

Further beyond that, the people that tend to hold a lot of bitcoin don' Dollars. Oh, yeah, There's a lot of people that were like, I'm buying. Like, I sell all my dollars and buy bitcoin as soon as I can because I don't want to hold dollars because the government will continue to dilute them.

[Tim Pool]

You know, Alice and I had talked about this two years ago about setting aside a Portion of all pay for all employees is bitcoin.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, Mines did that too. We thought about doing that.

[Peter Hotez]

Yeah.

[Luke Rudkowski]

And.

[Tim Pool]

And don't y'all wish we did?

[Luke Rudkowski]

I mean, I buy bitcoin every week. Not a lot, but I buy some every week.

[Ian Crossland]

So you have, like, an auto buy set?

[Tim Pool]

You.

[Ian Crossland]

I'll put this way, man, if.

[Tim Pool]

I'm not going to say you. If I were to put all my money in bitcoins out of the bank, I have hundreds of millions of dollars.

[Ian Crossland]

And I don't think if 2.

[Tim Pool]

If 2. If. Four years ago, I was like, okay, Tim Cass, money is coming in. Why put it in a bank when I can put it in bitcoin? The value is not going anywhere. Just keep doing that instead. And then when I got to pay, I sell in the exchange for the cash to pay the bills. Yeah. So every. Every. Every month, we convert just the minimum we need for our payment to keep the operating accounts going, and all new revenue goes into bitcoin. We would have trip. It'd be insane. I wish we did. But you know what's funny is, like, no matter what happens, no matter how high fucking bitcoin gets, we just can't do it.

[Ian Crossland]

That's the.

[Tim Pool]

We just are just like, I can't do it, man.

[Ian Crossland]

I can't fucking definition of insanity. I'm wondering. Einstein said the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing, expecting a different outcome. Like, I just keep holding US Dollars expecting.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Because everything. Because of the. It's because everything is denominated in dollars and has been for all of your life.

[Ian Crossland]

I want.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I want making that to where you have everything, where all of your value, all the money that you have is denominated in bitcoin. It's hard. But people that own stocks, right, they don't own dollars. They look at their stock portfolio and they're told how much it's worth in dollars. But that same amount or that same value could be translated into bitcoin.

[Ian Crossland]

Dude, I want to go home and put half of my net worth in bitcoin tonight.

[Luke Rudkowski]

So then do it.

[Ian Crossland]

I think I might.

[Tim Pool]

Now's the worst time.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah. Wait till it drops. Dips. And I don't know.

[Tim Pool]

Right. So I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but. So if you look at this, read the Psychology of the Markets, and, oh, everybody sees the spike over 100k and then rushes in to buy.

[Ian Crossland]

It was the 89 again, or whatever. 94. Whatever the hell.

[Tim Pool]

But everyone's like, I don't want to miss out on the train, it's.

[Ian Crossland]

In the long run, it's going up. I don't know, but I taste a million bucks pretty quick.

[Tim Pool]

I do.

[Ian Crossland]

I think, I think 250,000 in a.

[Tim Pool]

Year, if I'll put it. Here's a question. Do you think the Deep State is going to try to damage Trump's administration?

[Jack Posobiec]

Of course, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And do you think the economics is a path towards making Trump look bad?

[Ian Crossland]

Oh, yeah, that's a good.

[Tim Pool]

Economics is the number one attack vector. It's how they fucked over Jimmy Carter. The rate, interest rates are spiked. I mean, don't get me wrong, a lot of it's his fault too. But you spike the interest rates, everybody's pissed off and they vote for somebody else. If they do that, bitcoin's through the roof. I ain't telling you to buy nothing.

[Ian Crossland]

And if they don't, I'm probably wrong. Through the roof. But you're right.

[Tim Pool]

Coin was at 16k like 2 years ago.

[Ian Crossland]

We might need to put more tape on here, Serge. The tapes are coming off, by the way.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Look, the fact of the matter is, because now that, because it's hit $100,000, if it goes back down like, and it will do, there will be some kind of retrace event. But you know, if you, if as it goes down like, it's not a bad idea to continue. It's not a bad idea to dollar cost average. Like that's what they tell you to do with stocks. That's what they, they tell you to do with any kind of investing. Buy a little bit all the time. So that way you're not, you're not trying to time the market, time the top, time the bottom. If you buy a little bit, you know, every week or whatever, you know that that's the best way to invest in most things. If, you know, when you talk to people that are investment brokers and stuff, not that I'm not that' talk to an actual investment broker, but you know, like, buy a little bit now. Buy, you know, buy a little bit. Ready? There's me, the, the thing.

[Tim Pool]

This is. What's this? It's February of 2011.

[Ian Crossland]

Is it coin all time, lifetime bitcoin value?

[Tim Pool]

No, this was back when, in the beginning of the year, Bitcoin. Bitcoin was at $0.70. And I think, I can't remember which website I was using. There was something called the bitcoin faucet. You know, the bitcoin faucet was just.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Gave away bitcoin, didn't it?

[Tim Pool]

Gave away 0.05 bitcoin for free.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Point just.05.

[Tim Pool]

And it was nothing. It wasn't even a fucking nickel. It was nothing. And I was like, I don't ever. And so I was clicking the button being like, okay, like, I don't know I'm supposed to do it is now. But I had had some.

[Ian Crossland]

Keep pumping.05 over and over every time you click the bitcoin faucet.

[Tim Pool]

And it was like, to encourage use and help people get started. Here's 05. I think it was a point 05. And so was that 50 bucks.

[Jack Posobiec]

I wonder if it was making your browser mine that bitcoin, because it was. Had like literally no transactions back then.

[Tim Pool]

Back in the day, nobody was doing that. They. They did implement those browser bullshits where they make your computer run mine bitcoin. But I was mining bitcoin on my laptop back then because there was nothing. Yeah, I don't know.

[Ian Crossland]

Mining is still valuable.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Jack Posobiec]

A plant right now, though, turn this.

[Ian Crossland]

Fucking warehouse into a bitcoin mining facility. Not need it behind like 80, 80 pounds of steel if you want.

[Tim Pool]

They do it near rivers so you can use hydroelectric to run it, which drastically lowers your cost.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah. But here Nvidia is going off the chains because their graphics cards are being used for mining.

[Tim Pool]

Right.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I was using. I was using. I have solar at my place in New Hampshire, and I had a small miner that I was mining. I was using solar power to mine bitcoin for a little while.

[Tim Pool]

Hey, let's go to callers. Let's start with Crimson Catnip.

[Luke Rudkowski]

What is up?

[Ian Crossland]

Hey, guys, how's it going?

[Tim Pool]

Hello.

[Ian Crossland]

Thanks for having me on again. So my question is for the entire panel. So earlier today, the White House officials have hinted at giving preemptive pardons to people like Dr. Fauci, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff. If these pardons are given, how can we, the people, keep these people accountable for what they have done? And I'm particularly talking about Dr. Fauci. Yeah, I'm particularly thinking about him too.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I. I don't know what your average person can do, but the. I. But I believe that the goal of people that have the means is to prove, is to bring it somehow to. To challenge it in court, challenge it as a, you know, the constitutionality of it. So I. And I don't know what the procedure would be to do that.

[Jack Posobiec]

But can someone clarify for me real quick? Is the blanket pardon, does that mean that anything they do in the future is covered as well or just from.

[Luke Rudkowski]

There Will be a start date and an end date, but, like, up to.

[Ian Crossland]

This, it can't go into the future, can it?

[Luke Rudkowski]

Well, Hunter Biden's. The other night, when the Hunter Biden pardon came out, it was like, I think there was like four hours into the future.

[Ian Crossland]

What?

[Luke Rudkowski]

Yeah. So he actually had.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Could have done it.

[Tim Pool]

Said any crimes he had committed through January 1st of 2020, 2014 to December 4th of 2024, and December 4th was not done. So they were like, he's got three hours left to go.

[Ian Crossland]

What the.

[Jack Posobiec]

But that's how he's been living his entire life.

[Ian Crossland]

That just speaks volumes for the administration that did that too. Like, what the hell kind of sense. They pardoned a guy for the. In the future, for whatever he wants to do for the next four hours. He gave his son carte blanche to commit any federal felony.

[Luke Rudkowski]

It's unlikely. Actually did anything, probably, but he totally.

[Ian Crossland]

Had the legal authority, apparently. Or they just overstepped their. Maybe the. Maybe the pardon is now defunct because you're not allowed to issue a pardon for the future. Just encourages criminals.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I don't think that that's. That's the case either. But I, like I said, I do imagine that there would be some kind of efforts to bring it up to the. To courts to see if it's actually, you know, constitutional, because there's a lot of people that are like, hey, this is not okay, you know, but to.

[Jack Posobiec]

Answer the callist question, I would just say you and everybody, you know, keep it in the forefront of the social media conversation, whether it be on X or even Facebook or Instagram. Just, you know, don't be the person pestering everybody about it, but keep talking about it. Don't let everybody just forget that this thing happened and then just go on with your life, because then without public pressure, they're never gonna be taken to, brought to justice. Just remember with R. Kelly, that stuff was in the wide open. Everybody knew about it, and it took, I think it was a lifetime documentary to read and fig people's outrage over him and which eventually got him prosecuted. So not saying you're. You are going to make a documentary about Fauci, but keep on talking about it. If a documentary about it comes out, then you. You share it with all your friends. So it's fresh on everybody's mind, which will apply public pressure on somebody like Trump or somebody whoever's leading the DOJ to actually go after him. Even if he gets this blanket pardon and figuring out if he's going to go in front of a judge and perjure himself again?

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Tim Pool]

Is there anything else you wanted to add?

[Ian Crossland]

I do. I actually want to say hi to Decoy personally, because my husband and I are actually huge fans of yours, and we've been watching for you for a long time. I've been particularly watching your Johnny Somali train wreck happen. But, yeah, no, been watching for a while. Stoked to hear that you were on tonight. Phil, Ian, Tim, Love you guys. Y'all have a good night.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Cheers.

[Ian Crossland]

Thanks for calling in Roll, man.

[Tim Pool]

All right, next up, we will grab Dr. Endel hype engine. Is that what that says?

[Luke Rudkowski]

Yes.

[Ian Crossland]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Hype engineer speaking. Welcome to the Trump Train. Thank you for writing.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Cheer, man.

[Jack Posobiec]

Nice.

[Ian Crossland]

Hey, guys. So I have a question about the United Healthcare CEO assassination. I had to step out a little bit for the very end of that segment, so hopefully this is not too redundant. But we were talking about leftist ghouls celebrating death. But beyond that, how likely do you think it is that the assassination is expressly political? Because I've heard speculation that this might be related to RFK Jr's role in the next administration in some way.

[Tim Pool]

There's way too many leaps to get there.

[Ian Crossland]

I'm sorry, I talked over you there for a second.

[Tim Pool]

There's way too many leaps to get RFK Jr involved.

[Ian Crossland]

My first. My real deep feeling is that it's financial, that he fucked some people over financially and that's. They. Some big money hired him.

[Jack Posobiec]

I'm sorry.

[Ian Crossland]

Chewing gum on the mic?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah.

[Luke Rudkowski]

I don't know. I mean, look, there's a lot of people that. That are of the opinion, like I was saying earlier, there are a lot of people that are of the opinion that. That having money or being a CEO of a big company is inherently evil. You know, so if you're of that opinion and then someone you love gets denied for something that could really make you do some extreme things, you know, Good point. So I don't know. I don't know. Not. I don't. I don't really have an opinion on what it is, but it's well within the possibility. The general kind of temperature of society now is that the elites are bad. People that have money are bad. And that's part of why Bernie Sanders is so popular. Part of why Trump is so popular is because it's a populist movement, and it's a populist moment in society now. And so if you get someone that feels that a family member they love was hurt by an insurance company or was Denied by an insurance company. And this guy's the CEO and he's rich and you can't pay your bills and there's a whole lot of reason for grievance there. So I mean, I don't. And again, I don't have an opinion on it or I don't have, I don't have, I don't have something that I believe is the situation. But, you know, I find a lot of, a lot of the ideas are well within, you know, reasonable, you know, reasonable discussion.

[Ian Crossland]

I keep thinking like, what it would.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Reasonable to say they're possible, not reasonable actions.

[Ian Crossland]

Because I'm like, if it's a angry, aggrieved family member of someone that they. How much money would it cost to hire a guy? But it doesn't. I mean, it could have just been some guy that like studied how to do it and then he went and he did it.

[Jack Posobiec]

Now for everybody online saying, oh, it was a suppressor and subsonic rounds, that must mean that there's a lot of people that could have concocted that idea.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Yeah.

[Jack Posobiec]

So I think it just comes down to if he gets caught, one thing, multimillion dollar contractor, he's probably gone by now, but if it's just some grieving family member, he's somewhere nearby.

[Luke Rudkowski]

The one thing I will say about the actual shooting that you got on video, he doesn't, he doesn't look like he's never shot someone before. He doesn't look like he. Like you, I imagine you'd have the adrenaline going and you know, if you're, if you've never shot someone, he just walks over and he's like. And it was a very calm Ford.

[Luke Rudkowski]

It looked like he was very calm. Again, I'm not saying that I know anything. I'm not saying that. That I have any kind of expertise. But my, you know, gut reaction would be, man, if he's never killed someone and it was a crime of passion, if it was someone he cared about that had been hurt by this guy, you, I would imagine it would not be so, you know, so nonchalant. It would be, you know, he might have been mad. He might have said something to me and yelled at him. You know, there would be some kind of. Of emotional element to it. And it was very sterile and very calm. So I don't know.

[Ian Crossland]

It's wild how normalized wearing a mask has become that now criminals.

[Jack Posobiec]

Oh, yeah.

[Ian Crossland]

In. In broad daylight are all masked up. We used to call them hoodlums because they were all hooded up and you couldn't see their face. I mean, of course it's legal to wear a hood in a mask. I guess technically in public, it always has been.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, some places are not saying you have to. You have to d mask to get inside your store now because there's so many people using it to stay.

[Ian Crossland]

You used to have to. Generally it was. You couldn't wear a mask in a store. It'd be like, what the are you about to do masked up in my store? And then Covid. The reaction to Covid made it like, okay to mask up. And then you see people smashing, grabbing with masks. Yeah, hopefully that'll get undone. I think it kind of is. It's got to be denormalized.

[Jack Posobiec]

Hopefully. California's turning the. Turning the corner on that now with the new DA. So he's open.

[Tim Pool]

Dr. Reynolds, you wanna. Do you wanna shout anything out?

[Ian Crossland]

Oh, yeah. Shout out the Trump train, baby. All gas, no breaks. Trump won. Cry more libs. Mad.

[Tim Pool]

Right on, dude. Thanks for calling in.

[Ian Crossland]

Thanks, guys. See you, man.

[Tim Pool]

Thanks. All right, next up, we got Dr. Kaminazi. What PhD. I just want to stress too, while you're joining everybody, if you are a member of Timcast.com at at least $25, you get a Timcast PhD verbally. We guarantee you nothing else. But you can put doctor in your name and you can say you're accredited. Not literally institutionally accredited, but I will credit you for having done it.

[Ian Crossland]

Well, I'll give you a little bit of slack here, Tim. The rest of the name actually is PhD of NPCs.

[Tim Pool]

Ah, indeed. That's a good one.

[Ian Crossland]

You got your doctorate, so, you know, that's all well and Good. How you guys doing tonight, by the way? Well, so good, dude.

[Tim Pool]

Especially with Bitcoin over 100K. You know, guys, I'm going to retire. That's it.

[Jack Posobiec]

That's it.

[Tim Pool]

I'm going to buy an island and I'm out.

[Ian Crossland]

I feel like I already have retired. Life is good. Since you are talking about bitcoin, Jason Dixon would like me to tell you his 30 bitcoin offer is off the table.

[Tim Pool]

Not enough. What do you give a man that has everything? The bitcoin won't cut it.

[Ian Crossland]

Bitcoin, 0.05 bitcoin, which is worth $5,000 now. Hey. Okay, so with the deadline of Trump's team having to submit their motion for dismissal in the New York case being what, the second prosecution deadline is? The tenth, what do you think the likelihood of the case actually being dismissed by Merchant is? You know, there's been talk of keeping it in a holding pattern and not sentencing him until after he leaves office.

[Tim Pool]

Nah.

[Ian Crossland]

Would that not be another violation of his due process rights? Because he'd just basically be.

[Tim Pool]

It's over.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, that's my thought. But it's just another way for them to say New York State's controlling the presidency, kind of like they did and tried to do in Colorado by keeping him off the ballot. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Trump's. I think cash is going to go after the bullshit Pam Bondi has said, go after the bad prosecutors. So they're going to run and hide, they're going to put their tails between their legs, they're going to beg Trump for forgiveness or they'll nuke the economy and then try and go for impeachment, which I doubt because the Republicans won everything.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah. It feels like it's. They tried to strike the iron wasn't hot enough, and now they're done.

[Tim Pool]

You know.

[Ian Crossland]

Fair enough. And I guess that's proof of one thing that Phil's been talking about for a while. Donald Trump drives in the right lane because he doesn't do crime.

[Tim Pool]

That's right. Slow driver, you're honking at him, speed up, and he's going, go around, go around. Just go left.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Go fast. Look, you can go whatever speed, you know, whatever speed you feel comfortable with. If you're in the left lanes, I mean, if you're in the right lanes. But the left lane, that's where people that are serious about getting somewhere are going to be. So make sure that you make room for them.

[Ian Crossland]

And wear a seatbelt.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Yes, indeed.

[Tim Pool]

All right, man. Did you want to shout anything or shout anything out?

[Ian Crossland]

Check out the quiet part. Pod on YouTube. I'll talk to you guys later.

[Tim Pool]

Right on. Thanks.

[Ian Crossland]

Bitcoin's at 103.1.

[Tim Pool]

Indeed it is.

[Ian Crossland]

That's why.

[Tim Pool]

And last but not least, we got Omega K. Oh, people, hello.

[Peter Hotez]

As a truck driver, I fully agree with the left lane is for crime. So get the hell out of my way.

[Tim Pool]

I got places to be. Great.

[Peter Hotez]

So my question is gonna take us completely off topic, but that's part of the reason why I need to ask the question. So far, you've been seeing a bunch of companies trying to walk away or rebrand their DEI scheming. And you have people like Robbie Starbuck, who you've had on the show before. He was for Pittsburgh, if I remember right. Something like that.

[Tim Pool]

He's.

[Peter Hotez]

What he was running for was governor.

[Tim Pool]

In Pennsylvania, Congress in Tennessee, Congress, whatever.

[Peter Hotez]

It was a year ago. But anyway, he. So he's familiar and he's been praising like for example, Walmart recently, within the past couple months, that, oh, Walmart is getting rid of their DEI practices. And it's, it's, it's a lie is what it is. It's never gonna go away, it seems. But I don't see anybody prominent talking about, like the bridge smart brief stuff.

[Ian Crossland]

What's that?

[Peter Hotez]

Which is what? It's what DEI is. It's the next evolution of dei. If the actions are the same and the praxis is the same, but they change the name of it, did it really go away? Right.

[Luke Rudkowski]

True.

[Ian Crossland]

What they call it Bridge smart grave smart brief.

[Peter Hotez]

So if you go online to. We are bridge.com bridge like spelled like bridge, B, R, I, D, G, E. And it gives you an example of everything that they've been doing for the past couple years has been accelerated since the pushback really started to happen at the beginning of the year. Like with Target and Bud Light and stuff. You get all these companies like Jack Daniels, Target, Walmart, Harley Davidson, John Deere, all that stuff, and they're essentially doubling down by changing the names and enforcing the practices and putting it deeper in. You know, like, we can't talk about it, we have to hide it because nobody wants it, but we need to make sure they take it.

[Luke Rudkowski]

That kind of stuff.

[Peter Hotez]

It's essentially brainwashing.

[Tim Pool]

But it sounds like we're winning. It sounds like they're being pushed into the, they're being pushed into the shadows and they can no longer publicly talk about what they're doing. So, yeah, they're being forced underground.

[Luke Rudkowski]

But even still, if you go to the, if you go to weirdbridge.com, it says the Bridge mission is to create a cultural shift in companies where DEI principles flow through all facets of an organization. So right off the bat, the very first, the very first line is making it clear that diversity, equity and inclusion is a fundamental part of what they're doing. So I don't think that you're wrong, that it's a bad thing and you're right, it is. You know, it is the next, it would be the next step. But the term DEI is so toxic that if you see it anywhere, people are gonna, are gonna recoil. And furthermore the ideas that are in dei, they're not a secret anymore. So that people understand or I think that largely people that are aware of DEI understand that, that when they talk about equity, they're talking about equal outcomes for everybody. They're talking and to do that you have to take away from people that are successful and stuff. So I understand your vigilance and I think we are right to be vigilant about these things. I think you're, you're 100% on point there. I just don't know that this is if that we are bridge.com I don't know if this is actually something that we need to fear as a new evolution when really it's, it seems like it's right in line with what DEI already is. So, so I, again, I'm not trying to say that that vigilance is unnecessary. I'm of the opinion that there's been a battle won, that the war's not won. These, these ideas are something that the left is going to continue to push. There are, there are people that, that think that this is the way forward for the who believe that we should be a, you know, essentially what boils down to a communist world. I think you're right about all that. But at the same time I don't think that this is, I don't think that this is, is the, you know, the trojan horse that DEI was. I think that this is going to be, is easily identified is probably what I'm best. What I'm saying.

[Peter Hotez]

I, no, I completely agree. That's part of the reason why I was bringing it up. But like I, I brought up Robbie Starbuck earlier and there's a few other of the right wing conservatives, right, the, the high profile ones that have been talking about this topic and they're making these minor victory speeches when nothing really changed. Sure, they changed the titling, but if you go onto their website, they have these events where they hold these massive conferences. They got YouTube videos of them for the past couple years as well. They hold these massive conferences where you have people talking and you have all these supporters and you can go down it and they label all these like directors and leaders and what they do, where they come from, what values they hold and it's, it's basically a full on list of red flag businesses which we all know a whole bunch of them. But there's a good fair amount that, I don't know, I was sort of surprised to see the first time I saw it and I was like, damn, there really is really is a lot of people on this doing this dumb stuff.

[Luke Rudkowski]

Yeah, I mean and they were very, very effective in convincing a lot of people that DEI was actually a benefit. And they also, there was, there was an economic incentive essentially. The argument that was made to a lot of these companies was look, you may lose some money in the short term, but if you partner with us there will be opportunities in the future. It was essentially extortion. It was either it was get on board and you'll continue to work or if you don't get on board and you won't be able to work. They were essentially saying you'll have more opportunities in the future to work with other companies that are also on board as opposed to if you don't get on board then you might not get these opportunities. It was an extortion racket essentially. So you know, and, and, and now that, that, that had the, the curtain has been drawn back. You know, it's something that, that your, your st, your stockholders are aware of. And now you see like the stuff with Target, like these things are, have been exposed and it's upset the people that actually own part of these companies.

[Ian Crossland]

Looks like three big ones are Campbell's Sephora and. Who's the other one? Colgate. Yeah, Colgate Palmolive. If you go to the Bridge, Bridge Imax, it's their new framework, Bridge Imax, it's software you can get that prioritizes inclusion as a structuralization for your company.

[Luke Rudkowski]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Peter Hotez]

There's these companies that people don't mention. Like we mentioned the big ones like Harley Davidson, Bud Light, Anheuser Busch. But then there's like IMAX Studios, Campbell's.

[Ian Crossland]

Soups, Coca Cola, company Chair.

[Tim Pool]

Just gotta stop all of the. You shouldn't be drinking Coca Cola. You shouldn't be eating Campbell's Soup. It doesn't matter if they're woke or not. It's garbage and it's bad for you.

[Ian Crossland]

A lot of it's all by BlackRock. Like stockholders, like BlackRock, State Street Vanguard, Institutionalized, like multinational corporations, kind of.

[Tim Pool]

Those are the communists.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, yeah. Digital fiscal communists. They're oligarchic, you know, technocrats. And they're pushing this bullshit on people. Hilton's on the list. Yeah. Go to. We are Bridge.com IMAX and you can get a nice long list of the companies that are involved with this Airbnb black group. I don't know. Some of them. Discover. Get rid of your Discover card.

[Tim Pool]

We need. If only there was like an app you could go to that was just all companies that live in American values and you could just peruse those companies for what you needed. And it could be called something that represented like all of us coming together. Like the public something Circle or public circle where? Maybe Square. Public Square, maybe. Yeah, you could.

[Ian Crossland]

Public square is pretty good.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I came up with it. That's my idea.

[Ian Crossland]

I'm super pumped for Vivek's Ramaswamy's Strive, which is about re repurposing our index funds, which are like retirement funds. When you're working a job and some of your money goes into like a 401k.

[Tim Pool]

I'm more excited for Doge, but yeah.

[Ian Crossland]

Yeah, Doge is going to be hot. So if we can somehow integrate his, his, you know, his vision, his dream of repurposing our indexes away from BlackRock and Vanguard and into like an American idealized indeed organization. That'd be super badass.

[Tim Pool]

Right on. Well, Omega, did you want to shout anything out?

[Peter Hotez]

No, like I said, not really. You don't have much shout out. Like I said, appreciate the call. First time in.

[Tim Pool]

Right on.

[Peter Hotez]

I'll see you all at the lovely 250th anniversary fair.

[Tim Pool]

All right.

[Ian Crossland]

Fuck yes.

[Tim Pool]

Thanks for calling in. That was fun. What a good show.

[Ian Crossland]

I agree.

[Tim Pool]

Yes. Decoy voice. It was great to have you.

[Jack Posobiec]

Yeah, thanks for having me on. This has been a career long dream to come on this show now.

[Tim Pool]

All right on, man. Well, anytime, dude. You're always welcome. Yeah. Have you? Whatever. And for everybody else, you guys rock. Thanks for being members. We're back tomorrow. I gotta admit, it's a slow news week. It is. It's been, you know, the week after Thanksgiving. Everybody's like, checked out. And then you get one good week in December. And then everyone's like, dude, I am counting the days to New Year's and Christmas. And then you gotta wait a week in January until people decide to go back to work. So it's a brute. It's brutal. But at least you get family. All right, everybody. I'll be back tomorrow morning with timcast news. Thanks for hanging out. Hello, it is Ryan. And we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we? Just to make up for things like sitting in traffic, doing the dishes, counting your steps. You know, all the mundane stuff.
