And from this the markets have rebounded. They are now higher, or at least some of them are higher than before the tariffs went into play. It's fascinating watching the Reddit stocks community. A viral post saying, you guys are all wrong. You live in an echo chamber. Everybody was claiming the markets would be down for decades, several generations. Who, who knows how long it'll take to recover from Trump's chaos. It was like a couple weeks. And the markets have completely recovered. Now even CNN has called this a victory, which I gotta admit surprised me. So this is great news for everybody's 401ks and Donald Trump in general because even with the market recovering, Trump is saying this deal's gonna keep a 34% tariff on Chinese made goods generally. So he's getting his tariffs, just not 145%. We'll talk about that. But we also have DHS threatening to arrest members of Congress. They posted a video, I kid you not, of it. You can. It's kind of grainy, but a member of Congress closed fist punches a federal agent. Not kidding. We'll play the tape. I played it earlier and now there are currently riots happening outside a New Jersey facility once again because the Democrats rally on this kind of violence and crime need needless to say, they are insurrectionists. And then we'll talk about the current state of the Democratic party. They're saying AOC may be running for president. That's right.
Emily Austin
Please.

Emily Austin
Hello.
Tim Pool
Who are you? What do you do?
Emily Austin
Who am I? Wow. I don't know. I'm trying to figure that out. No, I'm joking.
Tim Pool
Every day.
Emily Austin
I'm a sports broadcaster. That's how I started out in my short career. I'm 23, crazy. And I never considered myself like a political person in general until I got afraid that I thought Biden had a shot of winning this election pre Kamala days. And I was like, you know what? Let me become a bit more vocal. I have a large audience, largely non political, which was important to me to speak up. And I was mostly like sports fans. Boxing, NBA basketball, whatever. And when I started to speak up about Trump, I noticed like that cancel culture everyone spoke about coming from my throat. So I doubled down on my political commentary, got fired from everything. How fun. But, you know, one door closes, a bigger one opens. And now I find myself still doing the sports in a bigger and better dream job I never thought I could achieve. And now I still get to do the political commentary. So get the best of both worlds.
Tim Pool
Right on. Well, thanks for now. Should be fun. We got Shane hanging out. What's up?
Shane Cashman
I am Shane Cashman, host of Inverted World Live. Last night, the show turned one year old and it was a fun show. We talked about how the government might be creating serial killers and how my new theory is that maybe they astroturf true crime to divert people from knowing that the government's actually the real Ted Bundy.
Tim Pool
Have you guys been tracking the solar storm power outages?
Shane Cashman
Not in the show, but I just saw the story about what happened in Europe.
Tim Pool
Portugal.
Shane Cashman
I saw the Portugal one, I think.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah, London. London lost power to the underground and. And, you know, it could just be sometimes the power goes out, but these are widespread power outages, so everyone's kind of freaking out.
Emily Austin
Is that what happened in Newark today? Newark airport had a power outage.
Unknown
What?
Emily Austin
Wait, you guys didn't hear about it?
Tim Pool
It's all I know, that Newark's radar is failing.
Emily Austin
Oh, well, their system apparently so old that they need to slow down the input of data so that it can it can process it. This is like 20.
Tim Pool
Let's, let's talk about the solar. We'll get into it.
Shane Cashman
The government has Mount weather. They'll be fine.
Tim Pool
I don't know, I don't know if the solar. So I'll give you a quick gist because I don't want to. We'll save it for the show. But there's been a handful of solar storms and then coincidentally we've also seen major power outages like we saw in Spain, Puerto Rico. Now the London underground went down and this is a substantial power outage. Some people think, and this could be totally wrong. It's just online talk that the magnetosphere may be weakening and the government may be prepping for something like this. There's a lot to talk about in that regard. But anyway, Shane's here. Phil's here too.
Phil Labonte
My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter revolutionary. Let's get into it.
Tim Pool
Here's a story from cnn. I can't believe I'm going to read this headline. How Trump managed to get his much needed China trade victory.
Phil Labonte
Incredible. That that is a CNN headline.
Tim Pool
I just want to make sure you guys can see this CNN.com right there at the top, CNN Business. And they called it a victory. Maybe they're, maybe they're realizing they can't sustain themselves off of anti Trump vitriol and so they're going to actually try and you know, move over a little bit.
Emily Austin
Best thing they have going for them is Scott Jennings. The only Republican on the network is keeping them afloat.
Tim Pool
It's crazy. All of their viral clips are him. I know they have no relevance outside of him. And they fired Ryan Gardusky, which also he was helping contribute to their virality for being hilarious. He didn't even say anything. Anyway. It was funny. I laughed. Indeed. So here's a story from your times. US and China agree to temporarily slash tariffs in bid to defuse the trade war. The White House backed off from the steepest levies as the cost of an all out trade war with China threatened the global economic growth. While CNN says Trump got his much needed China trade victory. CNBC says China sees the US Trade deal as a huge win for Beijing. Yeah, well, of course they would. That's called making a deal. Both sides are like, we are satisfied with the, with these terms. We kind of got what we wanted. Now that one of the most interesting things about this is we had this Tweet from Charlie Kirk. Scott Bezant revealed that China basically ignored the trade agreements negotiated by Trump because they knew Joe Biden was weak and wouldn't enforce the terms. So let me break this down for you. Liberals across the board are saying Trump got nothing. He's backtracking. And I'm like, well, that's overly simplistic. I think it's fair to say perhaps Trump wanted more and he got what he got, but he did. There's currently between 10 and 34%. There's two different reports on this. One I've seen from the press saying a 34% general tariff is remaining is reciprocal. But I've also seen a statement from the White House saying that they're going to pause that for 90 days. Down to 10%.
Emily Austin
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Either way, that 10% universal tariff was not there before. Be at 10 or 34%. So Trump big asked a tariff on China. He said 145. Everybody loses their mind. Then he walks it back. And it goes down to such a degree that Trump that the liberals are saying he's backtracked and given up. That's a win for Trump. The markets have rebounded. If Trump came out and said, we're gonna do a 34% tariff on China, just that was it, the market would take a hit. Liberals would lose their minds. In this instance, by going way up and then coming down, he secured tariffs. Now, the other interesting thing is the heavy hand I think may have been because of this. Check the statement out from Scott Besant. What has to happen is it has to be fair for the American people. But in January 2020, President Trump produced a template. We had an excellent trade agreement with China and the Biden administration chose not to enforce it. The Chinese delegation administration basically told us that once President Biden came into office, they just ignored their obligations. So, you know, we all already have a large framework. The other thing to remember here, Jonathan, is that this is a pause down to 10%. The April 2 level for China is 34%.

Tim Pool
We will be working to see where their final reciprocal number ends up. And the negotiations are a combination of tariffs, non tariff trade barriers, currency manipulation and subsidies of labor and capital. So what did Trump get? Well, the heavy hand says to China we will be enforcing our, your obligations to us, not like the Biden administration. And there's a tariff in place and the market has recovered. Take a look at this up at the top of the screen. The Dow is at 42, 4 10. S P is at 5844. That's a 2.81 increase in the Dow, a 3.26 increase in the S P in the, and NASDAQ's up 4.35. In fact, one report saying that S P is actually higher than it's, than it's, than it was before the tariffs went into place. So that is a recovery in the market. CNN's calling it a victory. He did it, guys.
Phil Labonte
Well, I mean it clearly is some kind of positive for the Trump administration. There are people that were, you know, two weeks ago or a week ago screaming that this is the end. You know, the tariffs were going to be the end of the economy and everything was going to be super expensive and you know, no one's going to be able to afford anything. But that's kind of, you know, that kind of comes with the territory. When it comes to the way the media portrays Donald Trump, it is notable that CNN is actually claiming that this is a victory because everyone knows how this media treats him.
Shane Cashman
Even cnn, especially an economist I like a lot. Thomas Sowell was saying these were apocalyptic tariffs.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
And he was saying not a good idea.
Phil Labonte
Well, free market, like free trade. People like, you know, Thomas Sowell and stuff. He's, he's, I don't think that he's actually an Austrian, but he's, he leans towards the free market kind of ideas. And if you're a free market guy, tariffs are, you know, considered a bad thing. And you know, from not just for Austrians but just free market people overall. So it makes sense. Seoul was saying that stuff. But at the same time I think that there are too many people that were expecting this to be the kind of the end of the road as opposed to treating it like a negotiating tool. And clearly it was just a negotiating tool.
Emily Austin
What's so mind boggling to me. And I don't, I mean, what's done is done. You can't go back in time. But I don't know how more people are not so frustrated with the fact that Biden just let our country get so taken advantage of. And it's like, I'm humiliated as an American that like travels overseas and abroad. And the fact that he's like, yeah, we had a pretty good plan in place and Biden just let all the other countries take advantage of us. You can't blame them.
Phil Labonte
To your point though. But like that they made it. China made it very clear when the Biden administration met with them in Alaska, they straight up said, you are not in a position of power here. And that was. That was because of the people. Yeah. To Blinken, that was because of the individuals. It wasn't because of the United States. There's some kind of significant difference between today and four years ago. It was because they had no respect for Blinken or Joe Biden and his administration.
Tim Pool
Here's my conspiracy theory. It's like it's 2020 and Trump is sitting there being like, everything's going really great as pre Covid. And he was like, but people don't understand because they have no frame of reference to how great things really are. So he cuts a deal with the Democrats saying, you guys take the next four years and just burn it all to the ground. That way when I come back, people will really appreciate what we have to offer.
Emily Austin
I don't.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I don't think I'm joking, by the way. I don't think that actually happened.
Emily Austin
No. But like, on a serious note, I don't think Trump. I know, could have won this election unless the country got as far extreme woke as it did. And the reason it was so easy to take advantage of Biden is because he was too busy, like worrying about people's pronouns and not being alive.
Phil Labonte
He was.
Emily Austin
Yeah. He was worried about not dying every day of his life.
Tim Pool
Yeah. I don't, I don't think he was worried about much. He was. He was more so worried about if he was going to make it to the bathroom in time.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Emily Austin
Yeah.
Tim Pool
I'm not trying to be mean to an old man, but kind of.
Emily Austin
It was elderly abuse. The fact that his family let that happen for so long, it's like as frustrated as I am with the tariffs, if I were any of These prime ministers or presidents, I would have done exactly the same. Like, he belonged in hospice, not in the White House.
Shane Cashman
The rest of the world loved it.
Emily Austin
I know.
Tim Pool
Did you guys see him on the View?
Emily Austin
I didn't hear what he said.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, the new clone's all right.
Phil Labonte
The new clone is all right.
Emily Austin
I couldn't understand most of what he said, honestly.
Phil Labonte
So I didn't. I didn't see it. I heard clips, but it was really bad. And Jill did a lot of.
Shane Cashman
I was just gonna say Jill speaks for him. When he starts to fumble and stuff, she's like, I'm gonna step in now.
Emily Austin
And it was like the debate with Trump where it's like he starts a sentence, like, semi articulate, and here you go.
Tim Pool
You guys ready? You know, it's just a shame we're playing clips of Biden again, but this matters.
Phil Labonte
It's funny.
Unknown
The projects, the benefits.
Tim Pool
How do you lead the world without. How do you lead the world without having the best health care in the world? How do you lead the world without having the best education system? How do you lead the world? You know? Do you know what I thought of the moment? So Tate was like, here, I got some clips for you. And he showed me this, and then I was like, it reminds me of Bruce Almighty. You know the scene where Bruce is standing off the side and Steve Carell at the anchor desk? That's the first thing I thought of. Like, let me play that again for you. This is this. This guy was president. The projects, the. The benefits. How do you lead the world without infrastructure? How do you mean? The world have.
Shane Cashman
Sounds better now.
Tim Pool
How do you leave the world without having the best education? How do the. The nihilist in me is laughing, going.
Phil Labonte
Sounds like he's talking.
Emily Austin
Every single clip I've ever seen of the View has been against my will. Like, I've never once voluntarily went to go find the clip of the View. I swear, if it wasn't for Republicans just bashing them, I don't know if a soul would be watching it.
Shane Cashman
Besides, like, have you ever seen Alex Jones on the View? It's one of the best moments.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah. Well, to be. To be fair, I think Norm MacDonald was back. Better.
Shane Cashman
It's equal. But norms. Norms is great. Norms is great. Because he's talking about the Clintons. And so I guess.
Tim Pool
What was he saying? Like, bill Clinton killed a guy.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And they're like, stop. Don't say that. They're like, what do you mean?
Shane Cashman
You were a funny guy, Norm.
Tim Pool
And he was like, I Thought everybody knew Bill Clinton killed a guy.
Emily Austin
Oh, wait, see that? Maybe I'll go voluntarily.
Shane Cashman
Alex Jones was on to defend his friend Charlie Sheen. At the time it was the tiger blood controversy.
Emily Austin
How long ago is this?
Shane Cashman
A thousand years ago.
Tim Pool
I don't remember Alex Jones on the View.
Shane Cashman
Great, great clip.
Emily Austin
Yeah, we're talking about the same Alex Jones.
Tim Pool
Yeah, well, he's ripped now. Have you seen him lately?
Emily Austin
Unhinged, mentally.
Tim Pool
I don't know. I'm saying. No, no, no, I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, he, he, he's, he's, he's got some good points, but he gets crazy out there.
Emily Austin
He's the one Brokani on with the little jellyfish.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I'm just, I'm just pointing out that he's like, he's like jacked now. Like Alex, congratulations, man.
Emily Austin
He's just mentally unstable.
Phil Labonte
The way people look at Alex Jones pre Sandy Hook and post Sandy Hook was different because the way that the media portrayed him and the way they dragged his name through the mud and blamed him for essentially, you know, for the shooting and for, for what happened, which is the most ridiculous.
Emily Austin
Blamed him for the shooting.
Phil Labonte
He got he in. In court. He owes a billion dollars. One billion dollars.
Tim Pool
To be fair, the plaintiffs were requesting the GDP of France. Yeah, that's not a joke. They wanted something like $2 trillion.
Phil Labonte
No, it was the biggest.
Shane Cashman
There are people who believe he is the shooter. Like, there's people who think insane. He did was question things and you know, he apologized later. I don't think he should have, but he did.
Phil Labonte
You should apologize, should have apologized.
Shane Cashman
But people. Yeah, people blame him.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Emily Austin
What he said, I thought was so insensitive. But for him to be the shooter.
Phil Labonte
But the reason, but the reason that people look at Alex Jones the way they do today is because of what the media did to him in 2012. 1314. You know, in, in that time period.
Emily Austin
That when the shooting was.
Phil Labonte
It was in 2012 is the Obama was president.
Shane Cashman
Right.
Emily Austin
I remember it very. I was 11 then. How do I remember? I guess it was so traumatizing.
Phil Labonte
I remember I bought rifles right afterwards. I was like, they're going to come after rifles.
Emily Austin
I called up a buddy of mine recently, Glock 43.
Tim Pool
I remember I was, I was eating a cheeseburger in Brooklyn.
Emily Austin
Nice.
Phil Labonte
Where I was in New York, it's a.
Shane Cashman
As well.
Tim Pool
It was a burger joint called Action Burger. I think they still exist. That place is amazing, by the way.
Phil Labonte
I hate Brooklyn head. And.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I think it still exists. Wow. That's crazy. They still around. That's so cool. If you guys are in New York, go to Action Burger, Sci fi, comic book burger restaurant.
Emily Austin
That sounds cool.
Tim Pool
Yeah. And they, they make a milkshake where they put the oatmeal cream pie cookie right in it and blend it up and you gain like £20 just by looking at it. Wow. I don't know. I don't know if they still do that, but they did that when I was there. I used to get them all.
Phil Labonte
I felt like, I'm. Felt like a fatty. Now I'm like, just want to say.
Shane Cashman
I like how we went from the view to this.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
So quickly. I went through a lot fatties.
Emily Austin
It's very comparable.
Shane Cashman
Good Americana.
Tim Pool
Right?
Phil Labonte
There you go.
Tim Pool
Let's jump to this next story. I love this story so much. HHS Secretary RFK Jr celebrates Trump's move to slash medicine prices. Quote, I never thought that this would happen in my lifetime. We finally have a president who's willing to stand up for the American people. RFK Jr. Is a liberal guy. He is head of HHS. And with Donald Trump, they, they have signed an executive order to drop prices, to drop the prices of drugs. This is not a price control. Okay? The Democrats are coming out and they're saying, I thought price controls were communist.
Emily Austin
Oh, my God. How do you find something bad to say about saving people's everything?
Tim Pool
Okay, let's, let's start over. Kamala Harris was talking about controlling the prices of groceries at the grocery store because she was accused of them of price gouging. Okay. Their margins are like 1%. Trump is telling RF Kennedy Jr. To basically negotiate with pharmaceutical companies as to what Medicare and Medicaid will be willing to pay. He's basically saying, go tell them we ain't paying these outrageous costs anymore and force them to reduce the prices. And if they don't tell them we're going to pay them less. We're paying the same rate, the cheapest, than the country that gets the cheapest rate gets. That's basically where it is. Let me play this clip of RFK Jr.
Unknown
Thank you, Mr. President.
Tim Pool
I love just a little bit.
Unknown
This is, this is an extraordinary day. This is an issue that, you know, I grew up in the Democratic Party and every major democratic leader for 20 years been making this promise to the American people. This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders runs for presidency, that he was going to eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States. As it turns out, none of them were doing. And it's one of these promises that politicians make to their constituents, knowing that they'll never have to do it. And the reason they'll never have to do it is because they know that Congress is controlled in so many ways by the pharmaceutical industry. There's at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every congressman, every senator on Capitol Hill, and every member of the Supreme Court. Some estimates three pharmaceutical companies. The industry itself spends three times what the next largest lobbyist spends on lobbying. So this was a, this, this was an issue that people talked about, but nobody wanted to do anything because it was radioactive. They knew you couldn't get it by Congress. We now have a president who is a man of his word, who has the courage. President Trump was taking money from the pharmaceutical industry too. I think they gave you $100 million, unlike most of the politicians in this country. And he is standing here for the American people. I don't know.
Tim Pool
So I just want to say this is what I love about Trump and I want to make sure all of the fake woke liberals hear this. I have never been a laissez. Me personally, I don't know about you guys. A laissez faire, capitalist, libertarian, free market. Let the corporate, let the pharmaceutical companies charge whatever they want for whatever drug they get. I wouldn't call myself a communist where I think we give away all the drugs for free. I just think that there is a serious problem when we, the American people, are footing the bill on all of their profit margins and R and D, and they're giving away these drugs and the IP to foreign countries at dirt costs. But you know why they do it? Because other countries tell them no. The other countries say, yeah, we'll buy a drug, but there's no way you're charging our people that much. That's nuts.
Emily Austin
Well, it's okay. They had Biden who tolerated it, so they thought it would still. It goes back to the first topic we discussed. It's just us being taken advantage of. Just like if you're liberal and you find the problem with this. Think about it like this. Imagine you paid $150,000 for a car in America, but then you found out everyone in London's been buying the same car for $40,000. Wouldn't you be pissed that all your money is being thrown to the garbage for no reason and you're not being treated fairly. Hmm? Think about who put you in that predicament, Biden.
Tim Pool
Now let's make it so that you die if you don't have the car. Right?
Emily Austin
Exactly. I put it in Fluffy unicorn, I.
Tim Pool
Want to say this. So it's not a price control. This is, he's telling rfk, he's basically saying we're not going to pay this much anymore. And he's telling these, these private companies that negotiate with Medicare and Medicaid we are officially going to cut you off unless you drop these prices. That is within the purview of the President to do. Now the fascinating thing is one liberals are attacking it as price controls, saying I thought it was communist. But why? Why just literally come out, say thank you Mr. President. I don't understand.
Emily Austin
Never.
Phil Labonte
Because they're bad people.
Emily Austin
Over their dead body.
Phil Labonte
Because they're bad people.
Tim Pool
Indeed. There was very little Biden did that I thought was good. But I will give him credit for when he wanted to stop ATM fees that target, that destroy largely lower class and middle class individuals. They get these overdraft fees and they end up racking up two $300 and they put themselves in a permanent negative. And I said that's a good thing. It's not the most impactful thing in the world, but I thought it was good. Then you add, I think it was AOC and Anna Paulina Luna. I'm not sure. Recently.
Emily Austin
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Trying to get rid of like these super high credit card interest rates and stuff like this. Like dealing with, dealing with that or capping it out.
Emily Austin
Disastrous.
Tim Pool
I also thought that was good. The libertarians are apoplectic.
Phil Labonte
They're like no, that one. This is not a price control problem with.
Emily Austin
But go ahead on that.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, the cost of loaning, of borrowing money, that's just a price. The, the cost. And when you have a non collateralized loan, which is what credit cards are, they have no way to get their money back. And if you give people that have, have that are high risk, if you give them low interest rates, they're going to go ahead.
Tim Pool
And I disagree. I see this as if you are a bank and you want a long non collateralized loan at a high interest rate and you get screwed over. Cry me a river. Stop choosing to give money to people who can't pay you back. And then what happens is there are people who get credit cards at 7% but there's a little tiny clause hitting the bottom where it's like once you cross the 50% credit threshold they jack your interest rate to 30% and people are told when they sign up that they're getting at 7%. So I am fine with regulating things like this. And if that puts the burden on the credit card companies, then the credit card company can choose not to give people credit cards. That's also true. They're targeting people and they're giving this stuff out. So I will agree. I will agree is a nuanced issue. My point is Trump is doing something Democrats should be jumping up and down and cheering for. They should be popping champagne instead. They're mad.
Shane Cashman
This is the war on drugs I support. We could go today. These two guys also stopped federally funding. Gain of function.
Phil Labonte
Yep.
Shane Cashman
Like, these are two things. I know I'm into the gain of function big time. That was a big win.
Tim Pool
It's just fascinating how RFK Jr is. It's like all of his dreams are coming true and it's worried.
Emily Austin
I was very, very worried for him that all of these, like, you know, clandestine forces and Big Pharma would somehow frame him to just have not woken up one day. And all because there's so many forces working against him. Because unfortunately, way too many people profit off of illness, especially in America. I mean, number one, obesity, heart disease. Like, it's scary how our leading stats are not in math and science, but in, like, health issues, because everyone's rich off of it.
Phil Labonte
Keep in mind, this is, this is an executive order. So Congress still has to make this permanent. And that is the, that's where the real long shot.
Emily Austin
It'll be very telling who's bought because.
Phil Labonte
That, Well, I mean, they're all bought when it comes to pharma stuff. But that'll be like, that's really where the, the, you know, you'll see the fight. There's going to be all kinds of, of lobbyists going after Congress trying to prevent them from making this permanent. Because honestly, like, pharma companies can be like, all right, look, we don't make a big stink about this. Keep it kind of quiet and work on your, your, you know, your representatives, the guys, you know, make the phone calls. You can. And they can basically keep it, you know, keep it out of the public eye or the. I imagine that the tactic will be keep this out of the public eye, work behind the scenes, work on your, on your representatives that, you know, blah, blah, blah. But don't make us think about this. And we'll get, we'll deal with a year or two or three or whatever of not making the same profits, but we'll get it back in the end because another president's going to come in. There's a lot of people in a lot of industries that are going to look at Donald Trump and things that he does in executive orders, and they're going to say, well, this sucks for us now, but the next administration will make it right. So it's super. It's incumbent on the American people to get in touch with their Congress people and tell them, look, you guys haven't done a damn thing. There have been five bills that Donald Trump has signed so far in his term and it's because no bills of any consequence have gotten to his desk because Congress isn't doing anything. Congress has to make these things that Donald Trump midterms. They, they have to do it before campaign season. True.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
They have to do it asap. They have to do it this year. The American people need to call their representatives and be like, if you don't produce legislation, we're going to, we're going to make sure you get primary, we're going to get you out of office.
Tim Pool
I think the challenge that we have is Democrats have extra seats in Congress because of illegal immigrants. And so right now they've got, there's a two seat majority. For the Republicans, it should actually be a 12 seat majority, meaning they should have way more room for big change. But Democrats in California, Illinois, Washington, New York, etc. They allow illegal immigrants in. The illegal immigrants get counted on the census and then they get extra congressional seats. This needs to end and I don't know how they do it at the federal level. It can be done at the state level if people in the states start voting. There's a lot of things we can do if people pay attention to their local politics. But I do think with Trump's mass deportation, 2030 is going to drop like a hammer on the Democratic Party right now due to internal migration, state to state. They're saying that California, Illinois, they're going to be, I don't know. I know California, I'm not sure which other states they're going to be losing congressional seats and electoral college votes because people are fleeing those states. They're not calculating Trump's mass deportations and the self deportation. So if Trump ends up getting, let's say a million people out of California to a lot of people, but let's say he actually does, they're going to lose potentially two congressional seats just at that alone. Not to mention the normal net out migration. So now they're project, right now they're projecting Democrats, even if they won, even if Kamala won Michigan and Pennsylvania in 2024, she would have lost to Trump based on the new census projected for 2030. Add in Trump's deportations and it'll be wild. But that being said, if in 2028 the Democrats win the presidency, they will flood this country with more people than you could believe possible.
Emily Austin
The UAE real estate's looking good right now.
Tim Pool
They, they say that 2020, 21 to 25 Biden's term was one of the largest human migrations in the history of humanity. They say it rivals that of partition.
Emily Austin
Wow.
Tim Pool
Imagine what's going to happen in 2028 with Democrats knowing they will never win again. If they win in 2028, they are going to open the borders and, and they are going to bring every single person they can.
Phil Labonte
It's been the plan for ages. That's what the whole, you know, the refugee resettlement program with HHS was. And it's great that, you know, Kennedy's the Secretary of Health and Human Services and that he ended those programs. I believe he's ended those programs. But that was, you know, we've talked about that a bunch on this show. They were bringing people in. There were NGOs helping to get people to the border. As soon as people got to the border, HHS was transferring them all over the country. And remember, this is something that the Democrats were swearing up and down was make believe that it was all made up. It wasn't true. They weren't doing this. Come to find out, there was an actual government program run by the Health and Human Services. It was called the Refugee Resettlement Program. And they were shipping people that were here. They were, technically, they were illegal because they were, they didn't actually qualify for asylum, but they were asylum seekers. They were shipping them all over the country a lot to purple states because they wanted to change the makeup of the states.
Emily Austin
Oh, yeah, make believe. We literally, we funded them. They had five star hotels, they had cell phones, they, we paid their groceries. We like basically welcomed them with the most open hours. We're like, hey, you know, take a check to an hour.
Shane Cashman
Entire hotels in New York City, I remember.
Emily Austin
And then half of them were flashing gang signs at the news. Like some of them, their presence very felt and known.
Tim Pool
One of these individuals was arrested in a shooting in Times Square. Remember that one? Remember the guy that was, oh, I mean, there's a shooting there. News day when I was there. But no, several months ago in Times.
Emily Austin
Square, there's a shooting and then didn't he rob a Macy's like a couple weeks later? And then was, oh, I don't know, was that the guy that flipped off the police officer?
Tim Pool
No, no, no, no, no.
Emily Austin
That was arrested twice.
Tim Pool
That was a different guy.
Emily Austin
Another illegal immigrant.
Tim Pool
Let's jump to this story from npr. Episcopal Church refuses to Resettle White African citing Moral Opposition uh, oh boy. So Donald Trump's bringing in refugees from South Africa. I say based. That is the right thing to do. And I know the liberals are screaming hypocrite, hypocrite. That's because they're not smart enough to read the news. And I'll explain exactly why these people deserve to get asylum, they say. In a striking move that ends a nearly four decades old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Africaners from Trump from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump's administration. In a letter sent to members of the church, the Most Reverend Sean W. Rowe, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, said that two weeks ago the government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Africaners from South Africa whom the US Government has classified as refugees. The request row said crossed a moral line for the Episcopal Church, which is part of the global Anglican Communion, which boasts among its leaders the late Archbishop Bishop Desmond Tutu. In light of our church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties, the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the US Federal government. That is specifically because they are white people. The church has ended a 40 year relationship to receive money to resettle refugees. These people are unrepentant racists. And I will tell you right now, the reason why it is based to bring these people into the United States as refugees has nothing to do with their race. Because I will say, well, what I've said the whole time, I think it is good the United States brings in asylum seekers, real ones. Not people from Eritrea who fly to Brazil and then travel all the way up through Central America to illegally enter our country and then claim to be an asylum seeker. Not the people from Venezuela who travel all through south and Central America to come to the US to claim to be an asylum seeker. But the people who apply legally online or through a consulate and then are legally granted that status. I don't care if they're from Venezuela, I don't care if they're from Brazil. I don't care if they're from China, if they file their paper with a consulate. And they get approved legally. Be it asylum, refugee status, temporary protected status, or full on permanent residency. You do it through the legal process. These South Africans did that. They didn't fly to Mexico and illegally cross our border. And so I say, good, that's how asylum should be handled. And now these racists are like, if they come from Guatemala, traveling through a bunch of countries, stopping in Mexico and then screaming no to asylum Mexico, which literally happened. I say they are ripping us off and they are lying. But if they apply, wait in their home country, get approved, and then come, I got no problem with it.
Emily Austin
Well, it's okay to be racist if it's towards white people today. I mean, isn't that what Elon Omar said? Like, white men are the biggest threat to our country right now. I feel so threatened in this room with all of you here. Only white men in here. What's up with.
Tim Pool
Well, actually, I got to stop you there. Serge is African American, right?
Emily Austin
Oh, yeah. What's that joke now that gingers are African American? Is that cuz orange is.
Phil Labonte
No, Serge Ser is literally African legit. He's from.
Emily Austin
You're actually.
Shane Cashman
We resettled this one.
Emily Austin
Yeah. Cuz I saw Trent on Tik Tok. All the gingers are like, do I get the N word? Pass. And I'm like, I. I just missed that joke.
Tim Pool
But. But that's because these. These woke groups are claiming gingers are black.
Emily Austin
But. What?
Tim Pool
I don't know. I mean, I'm.
Emily Austin
Isn't it a skin color?
Shane Cashman
No, they're a minority.
Tim Pool
It's not. It's not. This is why I often tell people woke does not have anything to do with philosophy or ideology. Right. There's no. There's no logic behind it. You get all these people come out and they're like, woke means critical theory. No, it doesn't.
Emily Austin
I mean, lack of thinking.
Tim Pool
Woke is just adherence to the cult. There is a cult. It exists in the liberal sphere. And if you are. If you agree with it, you're in. If you disagree with the route, it is cult like adherence to their orthodoxy. That's why the coalition of communities of color said Slavic people are people of color. So Luke Rudkowski, blonde hair and blue eyes, white Polish guy, is considered a person of color to them. And I'm telling everybody, there's no rhyme or reason or logic to how they operate or what their function is. It's just agree with us or you don't. Are you in the cult or are you out of it?
Emily Austin
I wish there was woke when I was applying to college because I would have ticked every box there was.
Shane Cashman
You just didn't.
Emily Austin
I was applying.
Shane Cashman
Been there for decades.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, woke is like. Woke's kind of been the standard operating procedure since 2010 or so 2011.
Emily Austin
I mean, I wish I just could have identified as anything I wanted for DEI reasons. Every Ivy League.
Tim Pool
But you could have.
Emily Austin
Well, I didn't know it was normal, but this is.
Tim Pool
This has always been the problem with the implementation of these, like, affirmative action programs. All right, there was Serge, you probably know this one. You remember when that blonde South African guy applied for the African American scholarship.
Emily Austin
Or whatever and he got it?
Tim Pool
No.
Emily Austin
Oh, I just so happy he showed up.
Tim Pool
I. So my understanding of the story is that he genuinely didn't understand because African American isn't a. Like, we don't. You, like, people around the world don't use phrases like that. They just say black. And so this blonde white dude sees that there's a scholarship for African Americans and he's from South Africa, so he applied. He shows up to the meeting to like, to read his like, essay or whatever, and they're like, excuse me. And he's like, I'm here for the scholarship. And they're like, but you're white. He's like, I'm from Africa. And they're like, no.
Emily Austin
It's so weird that I had to like, tiptoe around using normal terminology. It took me so long to get accustomed to describing someone as black because technically Elon Musk is African American too. Like, weird. You could be white and African American, but then you can't describe a person of color as well. Only African American.
Phil Labonte
You can say person of color, but you can't say colored person.
Emily Austin
Which color?
Phil Labonte
Which is ridiculous. You can't say colored person. That's offensive. But person of color, this. It's ridiculous.
Tim Pool
But this is the problem. Serge, correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't colored person mean mixed race?
G
Yes, Africa. A colored person is someone that is of descent, of mixed race, or usually from like most. In South Africa, a lot of, like the people from southern Africa are usually lighter skinned. The northern people, the northern darker people, came from the north and the Bantu migration because we were there first and then eventually the skin color changed. But that group of people, the colored people on the western side of the country, mainly speak Afrikaans and are Afrikaans speaking people.
Tim Pool
And this is not the American offensive term, colored person. No. My understanding is that during apartheid, which maybe you can say apartheid was offensive. Sure. There was. What were they called? Black colored and white were like the categories.
Emily Austin
What was the difference between black and colored?
Tim Pool
Colored is mixed race.
Emily Austin
Okay, so like light skins, as we would call it.
G
Yeah, kind of.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I guess.
G
I, I they use the word colored C L O U R E D to refer to themselves as like, their racial group. Some people get angry about me saying that. I'm like, well, then take it up with them, man. If you want to be mad about it, tell. To not go tell those people not to say that they're.
Tim Pool
Or not. Not to ask us to refer to them that way. But in the United States, it's different. So there's a, this is a funny story. There's a. I hate to, I hate to call out this business because they're really great, but I got to tell the story anyway. In Charlestown, there's this really great brewery called Abolition Ale Works. And, and, and Serge knows exactly where this is going. They have signs everywhere that say Abbott. And we brought Richie there, who's Australian, and he nearly had a heart attack.
Emily Austin
Wait, why?
Tim Pool
Because that's the N word in Australia. Really Aboriginal. And so Abolition Ale Works had abo on a bunch of pieces of art, and he walked in, he was like, whoa. Like, that's crazy. And it's like it means something different in America. It doesn't mean anything. But to an Australian, you know, different things mean different things.
Emily Austin
Well, back to the headline. I didn't have a chance to dig into it today, and I didn't really understand the controversy. And until you just clarified it, I thought Trump just brought them in. And I'm like, well, that's kind of hypocritical, isn't it? And then now I'm seeing that they filled out the applications, they got approved, and they came in legally. And I'm like, what's the controversy?
Tim Pool
They're waving American flags. They're not.
Emily Austin
They want to paint Republicans as anti immigration. But then you say, we're not anti immigration. We just want it done the right way. So it doesn't fit their narrative and they have to spin it in a way that fits theirs.
Shane Cashman
These are families, not military age men.
G
Right. And before, we weren't able to claim asylum for any refugee. Like, say it's like this. The US actually had a huge embargo on South Africa because of apartheid, which may have been right, may have been incorrect. I, I'm not, I wanted to speak for it. Obviously, we, I don't want segregation, but America had it too. It's not like they're, there's this high and Mighty.
Tim Pool
Oh, you.
G
We would never do that. It's like you guys fought a war about it.
Emily Austin
It's not even that deep. It's just do it the right way. I don't care.
G
We were never allowed to do that until now. And now we're able to do that. And that's where a lot of people being like, hey, I want to get the hell out of here. Let's move to the US and become an American.
Tim Pool
How, how insane is it that in South Africa they literally chant and sing kill the white people. Kill the white farmer specifically, right?
Emily Austin
No, but Israel is apartheid, not South Africa.
Tim Pool
But the left is like, that's just a protest song, doesn't mean anything. And it's like, bro, like, are you kidding? Like they're jumping up and down and singing.
Emily Austin
Well, the left, clearly they made it clear they love terrorists.
Tim Pool
I do want to read this though. This is. There's some important information there. They say the Afghanos were met on arrivals at NBC News by U. S. Deputy Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau. Lando said that Landau said that Trump's pause of the U. S. Refugee program was from the very beginning subject to exceptions when it was determined to be in the interest of the United States. He cited the example of when the refugees could be could be assimilated easily into our country. They tell quite harrowing stories of the violence they face in South Africa that was not redressed by the authorities by the unjust application of law. The United States, as we were proud to say, has stood for equal justice under the law and the fair and impartial application of law. In an executive order issued on February 7, Trump said the U.S. the United States would help with resettling Africana refugees escaping government sponsored race based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation. Executive order also said the US would no longer provide aid or assistance to South Africa. It came after a new South African land law went into effect that seems to reflect the views of Elon Musk. Now, it's been a while since we've gone over this, but there was a. Trump had a pause on the refugee program. I will say this because I do want to pull that up and make sure it's correct. I disagree with this. If they're arguing these people can be easily assimilated, therefore they get an exception to any kind of pause on refugee status. I disagree with that, but I ain't throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I agree with the US's legal migration practices. Donald Trump has previously said we want more Migration. But legally, legally, there's a lot of people that don't want that at all. There's a lot of people on the right that say, no, no more immigrants. And we'll see where Donald Trump goes with it. I think it's great when we have immigrants that come to this country and assimilate properly, economically and culturally so that we can maintain our moral traditions and we don't clutter the country with low skilled labor and then destroy the base level of our economy.
Emily Austin
I mean, I genuinely love the cultural diversity. I live in New York and all of my immigrant friends are obviously illegal immigrants. And by the way, one of my closest friends is a legal refugee from Ukraine who came since the war started. And it's just like again, repeating the same point I said earlier. It's not that we're against immigration, but you have to do it the right way because otherwise how do you differentiate who's coming here? That's like secretly Hamas. And then how do you differentiate who's coming here to actually make their lives better and chase the American dream? And the only way to do that is through the documentation and the vetting. And it's just if you want to come here and you actually want to have a better life, then do it the legal way. Otherwise you're just going to be kicked out.
Tim Pool
And this is illegal.
Emily Austin
Controversial.
Tim Pool
Just a quick aside. I want to show this post from @tim cast news. Guys, if you're on X, follow @tim cast news. We got this post. Take a look at this. Both pictures are from the White House press conference today. The orange filter the fake news media places on Donald Trump is insane. Here's what Trump looks like in an actual video. And you can see he does have a tan. He's got fake tan of some sort. Take a look how the they put him in the articles. I mean, come on, look at that. They, they, they have to be increasing saturation.
Emily Austin
They do. This has been debunked already. The same debate on Fox and cnn. CNN made him look so orange. It looks like you powdered his face and Cheetos and he looks normal on Fox.
Tim Pool
I bet. I was, I was, I was watching today and I was thinking the same thing. Because on one channel once again. And they'll argue. No, it's just that we use color. It's normal. It's bro.
Emily Austin
No, it's not.
Tim Pool
It's. It's crazy. Let me see.
Emily Austin
If there was one day I saw the president in person. Subtle flex. And that night he did a press conference and I Was like, mommy, I swear he was not orange when I saw him today. She was like, I don't know, he looks pretty orange.
Tim Pool
Ever since the.
Phil Labonte
Ever since the Joe Rogan, you know, making him kind of gray colored thing, it's it. Everyone, even if they're not. And it just has to do with the lighting or the lens, it doesn't matter because people are going to think they did or at least believe they did.
Tim Pool
This is a picture from the Guardian. Look at this. Like, it's small, but they all do it. I've met this man in person. He does not look bright orange. Right?
Emily Austin
He doesn't look orange in person. So dirty. I want to go back what you said earlier. You said the word assimilation and my mind went elsewhere. Can you guess what, what came out today in the uk? He said something along the lines of, they're gonna crack down more on immigrants that want to assimilate by making sure they're proficient enough in English.
Tim Pool
In the uk?
Emily Austin
Yeah, in the uk. And I thought, oh, my God, imagine America did this. I meet so many people who don't speak a word of English.
Phil Labonte
After 50 years here, the Trump administration did make an executive order saying that the United States, the official language of the United States.
Emily Austin
Yeah, but that's totally different. He's saying basically to qualify for immigration, you have to be.
Tim Pool
Yeah, that's in the uk that should.
Phil Labonte
That if I. Well, if I understand correctly, you have to become a citizen, you have to be able to speak English here.
Emily Austin
I mean, I know so many legal immigrants who definitely don't speak English.
Phil Labonte
It's something that we talked about. And I honestly, we like, I think that you should have to be able to speak English to come to the US On a green card or anything. You know, a language is an operating system. There are a bunch of phrases that you can only say in English because they wouldn't make sense if you, you know, as a literal translation. So you have to be like. Well, it's like saying. So I think that because it helps to foster assimilation and like a cohesive society, I think that it's important for all Americans to speak English. If you want to come here, you should have to speak English. The government shouldn't be printing up official paperwork or whatever in Chinese and Mandarin and Spanish. And it should. There should be just English and you should have to learn it.
Emily Austin
And so many people try to make that seem like it's racist. But my argument is like, no one forced you to come here. Listen, I'm a practicing Jew. I keep all my Cultural traditions. We have beautiful freedom of religion. I'm not proselytizing it. And it's like, if you came to America, there was a reason. You clearly loved the values here. You saw the potential here. So what's the point of bringing the disasters from your country here just to replicate them, like you're trying to escape something? Clearly. Don't bring all that nonsense here. Just go back to wherever you came from. And that's not racist. It's called, like, assimilation. Either contribute or you're making it worse.
Tim Pool
What they want what they had in their home country, but they want to be rich.
Phil Labonte
That's essentially the long and short of it.
Tim Pool
I. I come to the United States, I make a lot of money really, really quickly, then bring my laws, and I'm on top.
Phil Labonte
That phrase wouldn't another language either.
Tim Pool
Let's long and short. Let's jump to this story from the Post. Millennial protesters block access to Newark ICE detention center. Refused to leave until arrested. I love this. Do you guys want to watch a video of a Democrat member of Congress closed fist punching a federal law enforcement officer?
Emily Austin
I do.
Tim Pool
All right, well, we've got this video. This article here from Gateway pundit. DHS releases visitation guidelines to shut down Democrat narrative. Says members of Congress cannot break the law. They included this video from Homeland Security. Let's roll the tape. Here's in the red. That's a Democrat rep. She's a congresswoman. Yeah, it's. What is it? Lamonica McIver. So here's she's shoving feds. Shoving them, throwing elbows already. Assault with physical contact is a crime with an eight year maximum penalty. Now watch this. See her fist right here? That was a slam, but there's more. Boom. I wonder who she is. But wait for it. There it is. Watch this. This guy right here. It's going to replay the video. She's right here. Watch this. You see that? That's a closed fist punch on a federal law enforcement.
Phil Labonte
Just because you're weak doesn't mean it's not a crime. Look at that.
Tim Pool
She punched him.
Emily Austin
Facts. I hate when women hit men and think it's okay because. Because we're not as strong as them.
Tim Pool
So stop. Lock her up. Yeah, Right to jail.
Emily Austin
Wait. The best part about this headline was congressmen have to follow the law. And I'm like, whoa, no way. Thank you for making that clear.
Tim Pool
The funny thing is. Check out the CNN clip. I want to play the CNN clip for you. But there's no reason for it. Nothing happened other than the chaos that they created themselves. If anything, we were pushed and shoved and found in a very vulnerable situation for the three of us. But there's no reason. And McIver actually said there's, there's no video of any of that, of course. And it's like, are you saying that it happened but nobody can prove it? Yeah. So there you go. And now we have this, this video from today. Take a look at this.
Emily Austin
Get yourself.
Tim Pool
Show your face.
Emily Austin
Are they singing? Why do they always sing?
Tim Pool
Because they're, they're developmentally disabled.

Phil Labonte
They make buses that go to prison. Just put them all in a bus.
Tim Pool
So the, the. Yes, the attack from Democrats, the other. This is last week. It was during a. They were bringing it up as a prison transport, as a prisoner transport. And so, yeah, the crazy thing is on Reddit, these selective posts are incredible. They omit key details from the story. And they say things like, the mayor of Newark was there and he was talking with feds. Then he was inside asking why he couldn't come on the tour. And they said, because you're not a member of Congress. So he left. Then he was arrested for trespassing. The implication being that he peacefully walked up, talked to them, and peacefully walked away and got arrested, when in fact he was part of a violent mob storming through the gates. And then they arrested him for breaking into an ICE facility. These people live in a fake reality. They don't watch the videos, they don't actually read the stories, and that's why they believe insane fake things.
Phil Labonte
It does make me wonder if they're dishonest or just if they're actually uninformed or if they're Just dishonest.
Shane Cashman
I think a lot of them are brainwashed.
Tim Pool
The people making the posts are intentionally deceiving and the run of the mill people. I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna say this. This Friday on the culture war, we've got. I did a pre. I pre recorded episode with Adam Conover and I don't want to. You know, we talked for two hours. He did not know Trump never called Nazis fine people.
Emily Austin
I, I didn't know that he did not call them your name. So he believed, out of context, he.
Tim Pool
Believed Trump literally said, they are very fine people on both sides. And to which I responded, except for the neo Nazis and white nationalists who should be condemned totally. And he went, Trump said that. And I went, holy crap. I pulled up Snopes right away. His response was, I don't live in your bubble. And I'm like, the news. Trump's speeches. Joe Biden launched a campaign off of this, saying Trump called Nazis fine people. He never did to this day. And we had Tara Palmeri, who was on a couple weeks ago. She also did not know. She genuinely believed Trump did this. And it's a hoax. They're lying in the corporate press and the activists are lying every single day. They are scumbags. But then you get people like, I think people like Adam. He's not a journalist, he's a comedian. His news is third hand, not even secondhand. He's getting news not from the source, but from pundits who are intentionally lying. So you've got the corporate press lying and they omit and obfuscate things. Then you've got the pundits selectively choosing how to tell the story. And then people like Adam, I'm not trying to be a dick. He was a nice guy. He was. It's a fun. If it's a fun show, it was contentious. But then not knowing the truth. No wonder he's upset about these things. He genuinely thinks Trump's a fascist who is calling Nazis good people. Never happened. Same thing with Hasan. Piker. I'll say this as often as I can. Hasan was thinking he was making fun of me, going, what do you mean? Obamacare is not from Maryland? Like, he's from D.C. of course he's from Maryland. Yo. Hasan genuinely thought this guy was from Maryland.
Emily Austin
Hasan also said America deserved 9 11. Hassan also said Hezbollah are great people. So I don't know how serious I take.
Phil Labonte
Hasan also said there are babies that are settlers.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, that's right.
Emily Austin
He just hates Jews. Let's be honest.
Shane Cashman
I think he's someone who's disingenuous.
Tim Pool
That was wild, dude. When he was like, babies are settlers, too.
Emily Austin
And it's like Hassan was the first person to make me lose my mind on a Piers Morgan debate. Like, I'm pretty chill and composed, but it was the day that Hamas released a video of Hirsch, the American in captivity. And I was so sensitive already. He's like, yeah, well, he deserves it. And they don't care about the hostages, and you don't care about the hostages. And I. I lost it. I was so, so emotional. And I hate him for getting under my skin like that. But I just realized he's one of genuinely, like, the worst people I know. Like, earlier, I was jokingly talking about Myron Gaines. Like, some people are genuinely stupid, and then some people are just evil. And Hasan is one of those people who pretends he knows what he's talking about but will always choose a side of evil.
Phil Labonte
He's also stupid.
Tim Pool
Indeed.
Emily Austin
And stupid. He definitely is stupid.
Tim Pool
I'll give you a good example, but.
Emily Austin
I think he's very malicious.
Tim Pool
One of my favorite examples, which, like, look, I hate to bring the guy up and get into it again. I know some people don't care, but let me explain the evil of these. Like these. These whatever. Whatever you want to call these people. The woke. The cult.
Emily Austin
The woke. Right.
Tim Pool
Mr. Beast put out a video where he was curing cataracts, or he was giving people cataract surgery to cure blindness. And it was like 10 grand a pop. I thought it was kind of cringe that you've got all these people who a simple surgery can cure their blindness, and only a game show could pay for it. Hassan made a video where he said this, and I said, he's completely right. It is idiocracy, nightmare, dystopia, that in order to cure your blindness, an easy, simple procedure to make you see again. Only a game show can do it. So I reacted to what he was saying, saying, hasan's completely correct about this. And I pointed out that, you know, at some point in my analysis, I said, the military industrial complex is bad. They want us involved in every war. They lobby the government to make wars. We haven't declared war since World War II. And then I said, we should not be involved in the war in Ukraine. Hasan responded in a reaction to my video, saying, yes, the military industrial complex is bad. But then when I said that we shouldn't be involved in Ukraine, he laughed and mocked me. My point is, there's no logic or morality behind what he's saying it is cult like adherence to what their tribe says. So when they go, the military industrial complex is bad. What they're actually saying is we don't like the attacks on certain groups in the Middle East. When I. When I then say, so because of this, we shouldn't be involved in any of these wars, like Ukraine. No, the cult is in favor of the war in Ukraine. So it's contradictory. It makes no sense. But they're on the side of whatever the machine state tells them to be on.
Emily Austin
It's true.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. I think these people really believe that ice is Nazis. I drove through a protest, an ice protest the other day, so I turned up the new Kanye song.
Emily Austin
Oh, my God.
Phil Labonte
Did you really?
Shane Cashman
Oh, yeah. Window down. It's a, you know, it's a banger.
Phil Labonte
Well, listen, there they are. There are leftists that are, you know, making open threats. You know, if anyone. You see anyone playing this song, they need. There was a guy that. I retweeted a tweet that he said, anyone playing this song deserves to get the, you know, the hell beat out of him and blah, blah. And I was like, look, that didn't work out in 2015, 16, 17, and 18 didn't make Nazis go away. Why do you think it's gonna work now? And of course, he had a bunch of.
Emily Austin
Wait, what was that headline on his.
Tim Pool
It is. It is really sad on the yay thing that he genuinely doesn't. Unlike ye is a good example of a guy who thinks he's smarter than everybody, but is not. And I can really mean it. He makes. He makes good music. He's made a lot of really great music. And because of that, he thinks he's smarter than everybody. What happens when he encounters a problem? He's got yes men blowing smoke up his ass.
Emily Austin
Very true.
Tim Pool
In his new song, it's sad. It is a very, very sad song. I know everyone's like, there's a lot of outrage over the lyrics because.
Emily Austin
Hail Hitler.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Like, and then he's like, saying he's a Nazi. He's got people chanting this stuff. And I'm like, bro, listen to what he's saying. He says, they took my kids from me as they should, and all of my fame and all my money. I can't see my children. I can't get my kids back. I can't even see my children. You know, I. I half. I half agree, half disagree. He's exemplified through what he's done over the past couple of years why he's not getting access to his kids if he wasn't so arrogant. It's actually quite simple. A rich and famous person who is being denied access to his kids, like, Yay. Need only do one thing. Hey, y' all, man, they're telling me I can't see my kids anymore. So I'm going to put out a free concert for you guys outside the courthouse. I want y' all to show up with me and we're going to sing a song called Let Yay See his kids. It's going to be peaceful, it's going to be fun. I hope you guys come.
Emily Austin
I think someone hasn't advised him to take a more diplomatic approach. I'm sure they have.
Tim Pool
Nope. I don't think so.
Emily Austin
You don't think anyone has?
Tim Pool
Nope. Because Yay. Surrounds himself with people who are terrified of him because he's Yay and he's super rich. And then he says, man, this is like, I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to run for president. They go, yeah, you. You do it. That's right. And they just. It's. This is what happens. This happens. He thinks he's smarter than everybody. So, you know, maybe he was advised and he shuts him down. But he writes a song saying, they won't let me see my kids even with all my fame and money. And I'm like, bro, with all that fame and money, you get your kids back.
Emily Austin
I see a lot of the people.
Tim Pool
Elon Musk.
Emily Austin
Yeah, well, besides his first son. But everyone that's ever tried to disagree with Yay has always just been screenshotted and posted on his Instagram and dragged by all of his yes men. So anyone that tries to talk sense into him just immediately gets dismissed if they don't fit his narrative. And I. I don't know. I don't. I don't empathize that much with him not seeing his kids. Like, I never want someone to be in that predicament. But then I hear stories like he has Northwest and he brings Andrew Tate over while he has his daughter in the house. And like, Lord knows what they're talking about. And then Kim has to come and pick her up. Or he's. He's walking around with his naked wife in front of his four year old son. Like, you can't do that.
Tim Pool
You're troubled.
Phil Labonte
His naked wife in front, like on red carpets.
Tim Pool
But that's. He should be able to see his children. And if they're denying him any access at all, that's wrong, in my opinion.
Emily Austin
I'M sure there's a reason why you should not telling North.
Tim Pool
You can always, you can always have supervised, supervised access to your own children. But, but I think, but he does.
Emily Austin
He just had north with Andrew Tate like a month ago. Right.
Tim Pool
Right.
Shane Cashman
If they were even the same space.
Tim Pool
But my, my, my, my point is I, I half agree. The dude's making a song saying I can't see my children and they don't know how I'm feeling. So I became the villain. It's like, okay, well, like you're exemplifying why people don't want to give you like heavy with your kids. Let's jump to this story from the Guardian. Left wing pundit Hassan Piker says US Border agents stopped and questioned him on Trump and Gaza.
Emily Austin
Bravo US Border agent.
Tim Pool
I'm going to say bravo as well because this is, this is not a story. It's going massively viral. And I would give this on a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is why are we even talking about it? And 10 is, heavens help me, it's the end of the world. Five would be that middle ground where you're like, maybe it's a story. This is a five. This is a five. Let me, let me read. Hasan Piker, a US Born progressive political commentator, said he was stopped by US Customs and Border Protection agents and questioned about his opinions of Donald Trump Israeli war policy as he returned to the country on Sunday from France. Biker recounted the incident on his Twitch livestream on Monday, said he was led to a private room at Chicago o' Hare Airport, interviewed for nearly two hours about his political views. Quote, the goal here is to put fear into people's hearts to have a chilling effect on speech that like the government is unafraid of intimidating you. Does this stop me from saying whatever the f I want to say? Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. But the reason why I wanted to talk about it was to give you more insight into what the government is doing and to speak out against this sort of stuff. So like Cenk Uygur made a post about obviously it's his uncle and he was saying like this is wrong.
Emily Austin
I don't know that.
Tim Pool
I would just like to say this. There is a component where I will give I say this is a 5 out of 10 in terms of is it a warrant to its own headline or anything? Not really. Should get Guardian have written about it? No, but there's a conversation to be had around the US Government's use of the quadruple S security screening for people Putting people on no fly lists, a bunch of other stupid stuff. I don't. I don't understand what the point is of. Of stopping Hassan Piker, for the most part, is because they know who he is. And the dude talks about his opinions on streams 24. 7. That being said, this happens to everyone all the time. And the reason why it's not a story, in my opinion is. Well, I mean, that. That's it. It. It's like, extremely common. Extremely common. Probably happens, like, I don't know, 50 times a day to random people. If you want to argue they should not be doing that, I say, okay. So for me, when I was working for Vice, I got stopped all the time. I had that. They stole a USB drive from me. Yeah. This is a crazy story I was going through. I was at LaGuardia. LaGuardia. And I had a camera bag, and that's basically all I was traveling with. It was a backpack. It was kind of small, and I had, like, three shirts, three pairs of underwear, three changes of socks, minimal stuff. Had contact lenses and then camera equipment. And in it, in the top, inside, and a pouch that's kind of hard to find, was a USB drive that my friend, a journalist who's working in the Middle east, had given me with video footage he wanted backed up. They stopped me from going through the gate, through the security and said, you've got to stand right here and wait for us for a screening as my bag was being taken and run through the X ray. And I said, that's my bag right there. And they're like, it'll be fine. I said, no, I want to be able to see it. They wouldn't let me stay within view of my bag. And then after about five minutes, someone came up and said it was okay and I could go through now. And then when I grabbed my bag, USB was gone.
Emily Austin
No. And you didn't go back.
Tim Pool
I asked where I went. They said, we don't.
Emily Austin
You're talking about no way.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Wow. So I'll say this. I've. I've traveled to a bunch of. I was in Egypt, I was in Morocco, flew back to the country. And when I went through customs, they look at my passport, rifled through it, saw a bunch of Arabic and said, come with me. And then I got detained and questioned. So what's happening now is with this story, they're acting like Trump is targeting them. This is normal.
Emily Austin
Oh, my God.
Tim Pool
It's not.
Emily Austin
I'm sure Trump called the border agents on your. Like, what?
Tim Pool
My point is this I'm not a fan of them stopping American citizens to interrogate them about, you know, whatever. But, but it's not the craziest thing in the world to be asked about what you were doing, why you were doing it.
Emily Austin
Wait, why aren't you a fan? An American citizen doesn't make you a good person by default.
Tim Pool
A fan of being stopped and detained and questioned over your political views because we have a First Amendment.
Emily Austin
But I don't think it was over his political views. I think, I honestly think it was a random search.
Tim Pool
I think that's what I'm saying.
Emily Austin
It a political story.
Tim Pool
What I'm saying. I'm not a fan of the idea that just because I went to Egypt or Morocco that they're going to pull me aside. And that's the qualifying reason.
Emily Austin
And it's like, you accept any gifts from this country, all of this stuff.
Tim Pool
Did you meet with any groups? Were you like, were you near livestock? That's the first one, yeah. And I just said, no, I work for a media company. We were covering the revolution, blah, blah. And then they asked me about Morocco. Why were you there? I was like, it's called news exchanges. It was a big corporate news event. And then they, I had to ask, answer a bunch of questions and I was like, literally, you know, it was, it was like, listen, brother, all of this on my Twitter. All of this is on vice.com I hope you watch it and tell your friends. So when this happened to him, it's like the story here is he's blaming Trump for a thing that's been happening for decades and is not new information and he's not special because of it.
Phil Labonte
He's doing this.
Emily Austin
He thinks he's very special because his mommy told him he is.
Tim Pool
Well, he's doing this because it gets.
Phil Labonte
Him attention on his, on his chat, like his. He's very anti American and he's made remarks on his stream that, oh, you know, I think that the government is, what, gonna, gonna, you know, arrest me or whatever. He's alluded to those kind of thoughts and those ideas.
Emily Austin
He also said, America deserve 9, 11. I'll just repeat that one.
Tim Pool
He said babies are settlers and Hezbollah is good.
Phil Labonte
The point is like, he's, he's monetizing.
Emily Austin
This and who cares if rape happened that October 7th.
Tim Pool
His words.
Phil Labonte
The point, the point of him doing this stuff is because he get, he'll get his chat to give him money. So the socialist is monetizing the fact that he wants to make himself seem like he's politically Persecuted.
Tim Pool
I got to give him a shout out, though. He doesn't produce 100% Trump slop. And for that he gets a respect.
Emily Austin
Right. He dressed as a cute little waitress one time and painted his nails and dance on TikTok.
Tim Pool
That's. I don't care about that either. My point is there are a lot of these progressive and liberal pundits that the only thing they ever do is spam blast Trump videos. Hundred percent of their videos. It's just, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Emily Austin
So the bar.
Tim Pool
He doesn't do this. I mean, relatively. But Hasan makes a channel where he talks about news, and I think he's got bad opinions. I think he does grift, and I think he's a hypocrite. But it may just be because he's dumb and doesn't. And he's dumb and he's arrogant.
Emily Austin
So I love how this is his version of a compliment.
Tim Pool
It is. My point is, I don't know that he's trying to intentionally game the system to manipulate, make money, grift off boomers. I think he's genuinely just stupid and arrogant. So that combination. What happens is he talks about all the different news stories. You go to his YouTube channel, you'll see all of his clips are like, big news story, big news story. I respect it.
Emily Austin
It's always the worst.
Tim Pool
But when he. It is. When he's wrong, he doubles down and gets angry instead of being like, oh, I was wrong about that. That's my issue.
Emily Austin
It's true.
Tim Pool
Yeah. And. And like, his surface level view of politics, like the military industrial complex is bad. Oh, is he like, 30?
Emily Austin
Oh, he's not that young. I thought he was.
Tim Pool
I don't know.
Emily Austin
I. I swear to you, I thought he was 21.
Tim Pool
Ali.
Emily Austin
Cuz that's how he acts.
Phil Labonte
No, he's not 21.
Emily Austin
He's. I literally thought he was 20. He looks like a. Never mind. I'm not even going to start.
Tim Pool
Let's. Let's get his actual name.
Emily Austin
Too much attention.
Tim Pool
We're giving this guy a big shot. He's getting big promotion here in t. Seriously.
Emily Austin
You're welcome.
Tim Pool
He was. He's 33.
Emily Austin
Wow.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Emily Austin
I promise you, I thought he was like a college boy.
Tim Pool
No, no, no. He's old guy. He's old guy. It is fascinating how the young Turks have basically just like, died completely.
Emily Austin
The only person I knew from it was Chen, and I only know Chen because I debated him on Pierce Morgan. Otherwise, like, I don't even.
Tim Pool
Yo. They put out videos that get like, 5,000 views.
Shane Cashman
Isn't she doing something new that's, like.
Emily Austin
Me banned on TikTok.
Shane Cashman
Maybe panel, like a view or something. Where'd I see that?
Tim Pool
Yeah. You know, we were trying to do that. We never got it off the ground. It's hard. It's. It's hard to build all these projects, man. I wish.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Because we got a bunch of great personalities, a great talent, great moms. Talk about politics.
Emily Austin
You said moms.
Tim Pool
Moms. Yeah. We. We've been. We've had this. This. This project on the back burner for a while, which is basically the View, but for, like, sane women.
Emily Austin
Oh, everyone's doing it now.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Because the View is awful. So they're like, man, if people watch this, imagine if the women had, like, the mental capacity to hold a conversation.
Emily Austin
PBD just started it. I haven't.
Shane Cashman
That's what it is.
Emily Austin
Gotten myself.
Tim Pool
Oh, he's doing it.
Shane Cashman
I think it's pbd. Anna Kasparian.
Tim Pool
She's on it.
Emily Austin
I mean, I can't.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Emily Austin
Wow.
Tim Pool
That's Apocalypse.
Emily Austin
Working on it. Like, I know people that are, like, about to. I've been asked to be on all of them, and I'm like, don't love the pan.
Tim Pool
You know, let me just say this. We've been talking about doing that for, like, a year, and we failed to execute. Everybody heard the great idea, and it's no surprise they're doing it. Just like, did you guys know this Pop Tarts announced Pop Tart ice cream sandwich. And it was like. It was about two months.
Emily Austin
Bobby Kennedy, shut your ears.
Tim Pool
It was about two months after I announced on this show that we were filming a vlog where we were making Pop Tart ice cream sandwiches where we would take two Pop Tarts and put vanilla ice cream in between, and we filmed it, and we were just like, that's a fun thing to do. And I know you're listening. Pop Tarts. I know you're listening, and I thank you for making those.
Emily Austin
Oh, I was about to say, where's your equity?
Shane Cashman
I thought he was gonna sue.
Emily Austin
Yeah. What?
Shane Cashman
Pop Tart?
Tim Pool
No, I'm excited.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. That's nice.
Emily Austin
Dude, wait. I have a very serious question. No, serious question. Which Pop Tarts are you putting outside the ice cream?
Tim Pool
Oh, first of all, only one.
Emily Austin
Right answer.
Tim Pool
The best one is the brown sugar cinnamon. Yep, yep. And then we tried blueberry strawberry.
Emily Austin
Absolutely not.
Tim Pool
We have cookies and cream.
Emily Austin
Still not.
Tim Pool
And that one actually just tastes like an ice cream sandwich. And then we tried fudge, but everybody ate The s' mores. Because we bought. We bought a thousand Pop Tarts. The s' mores all got.
Emily Austin
Do you have any s' mores?
Tim Pool
They're gone.
Emily Austin
No.
Tim Pool
Good luck.
Shane Cashman
I haven't had a Pop Tart since I was grow. There's.
Tim Pool
There's a thousand Pop Tarts downstairs.
Shane Cashman
I've seen the wall. There's a Pop Tart wall downstairs.
Emily Austin
Wait, really? I missed this wall. I love s' mores Pop Tarts. That's why.
Tim Pool
That's why everybody. Middle school, everybody ate them all.
Emily Austin
Literally.
Tim Pool
The first. The first one that got eaten was the s' mores. I think the brown sugar cinnamon is the classic. It's the best.
Phil Labonte
Or the best.
Emily Austin
No strawberry. I loved and hated at the same time. But the s' mores, I mean, it was just so good.
Tim Pool
I. I can tell. So since we shifted from Hassan to Pop Tarts, the view count's been going up.
Emily Austin
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Hassan is pretty.
Emily Austin
Pretty. Yeah. That's like.
Tim Pool
I don't know what you're talking about, Hasan. What is it? Pop Tarts. Tell me more.
Emily Austin
Leave your thoughts below on which Pop Tarts the best not sponsored by Pop Tarts.
Tim Pool
Oh, man. All right, you guys ready? From the Wall Street Journal. AOC isn't ruling anything out, including the White House.
Emily Austin
From your mouth to God's ears. Let's go, aoc.
Phil Labonte
Let's go.
Emily Austin
Where do we donate?
Phil Labonte
I mean, the fact of the matter is I do think that I, like, I'm the guy over here that's like, look, man, she's charismatic and people will vote for her. I know that there are people that disagree with me, but I do think that she. I think that of the Democrats that are viable, I think that she actually does have a. Oh, really, really good.
Emily Austin
More than Kamala?
Phil Labonte
Oh, yes. Oh, yes, absolutely. Kamala Harris doesn't have the charisma. Kamala Harris is bad at speaking. She has bad policy because she doesn't actually have a.
Emily Austin
A foundation have policy.
Phil Labonte
The point about AOC is AOC hasn't gone back and forth from being super progressive to. To being a, you know, kind of a conservative. You know, she doesn't flip up, and she doesn't have the rumors about how she got into politics that Kamala Harris does.
Tim Pool
I. I hear you, Phil, but I counter with this story. Post millennial quote, this woman has done nothing. AOC's constituents bash Rockstar rep for being absent in her district. She's hated by her own. Her own district. Ok? She's absent. She. She gets elected as a. As a rep. And then goes national politics instantly and ignores what her district actually needs or wants. I. I think I round on private.
Emily Austin
Jets talking about oligarchy.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah. Yep, Yep. I'm gonna, I'm gonna say this because I said it before and it bears repeating the three reasons. Three main reasons. She can't win. She is short. She is physically short. Physically short.
Emily Austin
How short is she?
Tim Pool
She's like, what, five, six?
Emily Austin
I'm five four.
Tim Pool
You can't be president.
Emily Austin
What the hell?
Tim Pool
You do know that people vote based on height, right?
Emily Austin
Okay, so I wear high heels. Nobody knows.
Tim Pool
Doesn't work. There was. That's why Rhonda. Ron DeSantis was accused of.
Emily Austin
I'm challenging you on that.
Tim Pool
It's true.
Emily Austin
I'll be president at 5. 5.
Tim Pool
Good luck. You saw Ron DeSantis wearing those weird boots. Yeah. With the heels in them.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Because a. A major factor in elections is the height of the candidate. That's why. Who was it? Kamala wanted a stool or something? I think.
Emily Austin
Attractiveness. Yes. I don't think it's height.
Tim Pool
Height. Absolutely. That's why Kamala wanted a smaller podium, because she didn't want to look small behind a podium. Because height matters. It's not my opinion. It's true. Her. Her youth. Absolutely a huge issue. And a high pitched voice.
Emily Austin
Well, her youth for sure.
Tim Pool
And high pitched voice.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, yeah.
Emily Austin
And maybe her lack of policies and maybe her horrible policies, if any. And maybe her extremism and like completely alienating all the moderators.
Tim Pool
AOC is 5:2.
Emily Austin
Well, okay, that's really short.
Tim Pool
She's not 5:2. That's way too short. 5:7.
Emily Austin
Us.
Tim Pool
Oh, she's 5:4. They split the baby.
Emily Austin
But you don't look at her and go, oh, she's a short girl.
Tim Pool
Yes.
Emily Austin
I've never looked at her like, oh, she's tiny.
Tim Pool
Listen, listen. When. When consultants go to politicians, they tell them exactly the clothing they have to wear. Because you might be saying like, well, who cares if I wear a red tie or a blue tie? And they're like, you will lose 0.7% if you wear the red tie. And that's going to translate to a million people.
Emily Austin
James Madison was 5 4.
Tim Pool
Indeed. But you're talking about before media, before TV. So you take. Here's a great example, the debate between Nixon and jfk, I think it was. Was it Nixon and jfk? On the radio, they said Nixon won. There were people who listen on the radio, were like, wow, he was amazing. On tv they said JFK won because Nixon was sweaty and Disheveled looking, didn't shave. Yep.
Phil Labonte
At a five o' clock shadow. Just looked bad.
Emily Austin
And imagine Biden on a radio debate. I think the radio was glitching.
Tim Pool
So AOC if she, if she runs for president, I think this is good. This is a major issue for any woman. And I know you mentioned Margaret Thatcher. Phil, parliamentary system. Systems don't vote for candidates, they vote for parties.
Phil Labonte
True.
Tim Pool
So we in the United States asking the American people to elect a 5 foot 4 young shrill woman is not going to happen.
Emily Austin
There are so many reasons I don't think she'll win presidency and her height was definitely not on my list. But I hear you, you can't lie with the stats. That's what leftist.
Shane Cashman
I'd like to see her debate. I think she can't.
Emily Austin
She seems too hysterical. And by the way, this is a true point and I always get heat for this by saying it as a woman. The only woman who could win a presidency has to be somewhat masculine because you can't have an emotional, overly hormonal, even a maternal, arguably woman in office because genuinely, like genetically, we are too empathetic, we're too caring. I feel like women always give people the benefit of the doubt. And you can't really have a weak president.
Shane Cashman
You're someone masculine like Michelle Obama.
Emily Austin
Yes.
Shane Cashman
Okay.
Emily Austin
No, no, seriously, on a real note, Michelle Obama gives me masculine vibes.
Tim Pool
Yes.
Emily Austin
She's got big shoulders, she's built, attitude wise, she's very firm. AOC is very feminine.
Tim Pool
Let me, let me read this for you. The study Height and Success in Politics by Timothy A. Judge and Daniel M. Cable, published in the Journal of Psychological Science, found that taller individuals tend to earn more and are more likely to attain leadership positions, including politics. Additionally, in 2003 stud a 2003 study titled Candidates Physical Attributes and Electoral Success, Gregory A. Huber and John S. Lipinski found that taller US Presidential candidates have historically won a majority of elections, reinforcing the idea that voters may subconsciously associate height with leadership. This is like a well known thing. I thought, I thought everybody understood.
Emily Austin
I think that's why Ron Ronda's definitely for men.
Tim Pool
It's, it's.
Emily Austin
Look, I actually think tall women, so I don't want to say they're unattractive because it's not true.
Tim Pool
Women trying to be men lose. Women have a better chance of winning if they try to be matriarchal instead of patriarchal. But they don't understand this. All of the data being presented to them on elections is being presented largely from A male perspective from male candidates, and they're trying to apply to women. You see this with AOC at a Bronx rally where she ran out fist bumping and going like. But her voice, it's not a deep, thundering, charismatic. You know, they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom.
Emily Austin
You know, here's what I think. Every time I picture a woman, a woman in office, I think, how would, like, Hamas, as example, view them? How would Putin treat them? How would she respect them? I think, like, how are you going to sit at the big boys table and be able to hold your ground? You want to laugh. As much as I can't stand her, I don't mind Hillary Clinton that much because she's so masculine to me that I actually think she could hold her ground because she's kind of like a dude deep down.
Tim Pool
And she still. What did she get? 62 million votes? Something. What was it?
Emily Austin
I would have taken Hillary over Kamala.
Tim Pool
I agree with the left on. You call it an inherent sexism or whatever you call it that prevented her from winning. Not completely. I think she's just despised so much. But you combine that with. Look at the. I mean, you've got the anecdotal man on the street interviews, and there's hundreds of them where they straight up interview people like, you know, vote for Kamala. I'm like, I ain't voting for a woman. Tons of those videos went viral during the election cycle.
Emily Austin
I think if she was more respectable, I don't think that would be the argument. Listen, obviously there are degenerates. We're like, I hate women. Probably Andrew Tate's like, followers, but otherwise you, not you.
Tim Pool
There are a lot of people in this country that outright say, I would not vote for a woman.
Phil Labonte
You don't have. Yeah. You don't have to hate women to say, oh, I wouldn't want a woman president.
Emily Austin
But it has to. I feel like it's easy to say when there's not a good candidate representing women.
Phil Labonte
Probably pretty easy to say when there's a good showing.
Emily Austin
Kamala is the example. I mean, come on. It's, like, humiliating to all of us.
Tim Pool
AOC is not a good candidate either.
Emily Austin
She's not.
Tim Pool
She's a. She's like a. I give her, like a C plus B minus. You know, Phil. Phil says she's got charisma, but, like, it's. It's limited. It's nowhere near the amount you'd need for a president. Not even a senator, honestly. But she might be able to beat Chuck Schumer, all she got to do is primary him for sure.
Emily Austin
God. Chuck spoke in my district in Nassau County. He got booed. It was so funny. I spoke right after him and I was like, yay. And then Chuck out. They're like, boo.
Tim Pool
Michelle district, Michelle Obama, I think would have been able to do well, maybe, you know, six, seven years ago. I don't think she's got it today.
Shane Cashman
No.
Tim Pool
And she, you know what she's really scared of? The reason Michelle's never going to run is because she, she, I think she really hates that she's called a man.
Emily Austin
Really?
Tim Pool
Yeah. I mean, that's got, that's already out there.
Emily Austin
It's not going to come out more. It's already so out there.
Tim Pool
Really.
Emily Austin
I feel like everyone said it at some point.
Phil Labonte
She's had a public eye generally, Right. Like, for, for the most part, she's not in the news. Every day.
Tim Pool
She was in the news, which she.
Phil Labonte
Should stop doing because she's doing nothing. Good for her.
Shane Cashman
You don't like it.
Phil Labonte
She has made some of the most terrible for her own image gaffes. That, that, I guess is what she.
Emily Austin
Said as a black man. I was like, oh, Freudian slip finally.
Phil Labonte
Told us the truth.
Emily Austin
Well, and when she called, she said, I can't sleep at night over Trump's deportations. Like, honey, what did your husband do?
Phil Labonte
She also said, oh, you know, it's really expensive to live at the White House. And was like complaining that she is about the cost of, oh, it's so.
Emily Austin
Hard to have a stylist.
Tim Pool
What woman could win?
Shane Cashman
I don't want a woman to win, but I would say Tulsi, I don't see.
Emily Austin
I love Tulsi. I don't think she could win today. I don't think America's ready for how.
Shane Cashman
These four years go.
Tim Pool
I think that if the race, 2024 race was Tulsi versus Trump, Tulsi would have won.
Phil Labonte
Tulsi's temperament is very even. She does not get when, even when she was, was, you know, excoriating Kamala Harris and just ending her career. She was very even tempered when she was excoriating Hillary Clinton when Clinton came after and she was calling her, called her the, the, the rot that's in the Democrat Party. She was very, very even tempered. It wasn't, she wasn't excitable.
Emily Austin
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
And her, her history as a, an officer in the, in the military.
Tim Pool
She's, I think that's, I take it, I take it back. You know, Tulsi would not have wanted to take it back. Let me, let me, let me, Let me reassess and explain right now going forward. If Tulsi were the Democratic nominee for 2028, she has a very, very good chance of beating whoever the right musters up. And you can take a look at her. Her accolades, her demeanor, the way she handles politics and explains why one, she is not short. She is physically fit. She's. Was she a major?
Phil Labonte
Lieutenant colonel.
Tim Pool
She's a colonel.
Phil Labonte
Lieutenant colonel.
Tim Pool
Lieutenant colonel. So she's got military service. She's got a strong demeanor. She's moderate. So the reason why I say I don't think she could have won in 24 is because the Democratic Party is too psychotic and the fringe left would have canceled her. They wouldn't allow it.
Emily Austin
I just don't think she would have beat Trump.
Tim Pool
Maybe someone else for the reason why. Probably. Well, there's a reason why Trump brought her on. Trump and RFK got Trump a lot of support.
Emily Austin
Yeah, no, undoubtedly, because with.
Tim Pool
With Trump and. I'm sorry, with Tulsi and rfk, he basically said to the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, this is your only option. Look what they've offered you. And that's how he wins. But it was still. It's. It's still like, it's still relatively close. You know, people like to say, well, oh, but Trump got a landslide because the electoral college or whatever, look at the actual votes. It was still close. 2028. Without Trump, Democrats have nobody. Tulsi Gabbard's on the right now. All of the best people Democrats could have had, they just destroyed. And that's why I'm saying 2024, they couldn't have won with Tulsi because look at how they destroy their candidates and then only the sycophant garbage D listers make it.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Emily Austin
I think it's just my point of bringing up Tulsi's name earlier was that I. It's an example of which females in politics. Politics succeed. And. And Tulsi, I don't think stoic is the right adjective because she's not stoic. She's actually. She has a great personality, but she walks a very fine line between, like, her feminine side and her, like, badass side. She does a good job. She's very intelligent. She knows how to project it, but not in a way where she's trying to one up a man, but, like, she belongs at the table.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Emily Austin
She demands the respect, but not in, like, a way.
Phil Labonte
Well, I think that comes from the. The fact that she is used to being in positions of authority. And also, like I said, I think measured is the. Is a. Is a really great word to describe her. She's not his, you know, she's not excitable.
Emily Austin
Like, Nikki got very frustrated in debates and I was like, let's jump to.
Tim Pool
This story for the New York Post. Democrats have abandoned men who just want to get laid and have fun. That's vice DNC chair David Hogg says, okay, let's what? Let's hear this.
H
So I don't. Not to bore people, but to get into the bureaucracy of the dnc, we have a gender balance rule at the dnc. Because of course we do.
Emily Austin
Because of course we do.
Phil Labonte
By the way, the Republican Party does, too. If, if the chair is a male.
Tim Pool
Then the vice chair has to be a female.
H
Well, what's interesting is that's even more progressive than our vice vision, which is that the chair doesn't count towards the gender balance rule that we have. Frankly, I don't even know if it makes sense for us to have the gender balance rule anymore in this day and age, because I want to focus on whoever's just best at the job.
Tim Pool
Great.
H
That's my.
Tim Pool
That's not even the clip related to the story. So I don't know what New York Post is on about, but I do love this. We have this one vigilant Fox says David Hogg gets a huge reaction from Bill Maher after saying Democrats need to reconnect with young men who just want to get laid and have fun. Let's. Maybe this is the clip right now.
H
What I think happened last election is younger men, they would rather vote for somebody who feels, who even if they don't completely agree with, they don't feel judged by than somebody who they do agree with that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they're going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated. And what, what's interesting about this moment is it feels like the two parties in some senses have flipped. Where, you know, Republicans used to be the judgmental assholes in many ways. And since many Democrats, despite us, I would say for most of us coming from the right place of wanting to do the right thing, we've created a culture where we say, well, if you say the wrong thing, you're excommunicated. And that's just not how human beings work. Nobody is perfect. Ultimately, what we have to do here is figure out how to bring people back in and work towards the bigger goal of advancing the future of this country and helping young people especially get by so that they're able to focus on their lives and, you know, getting with a young woman or something like that instead of how are they going to pay their rent, for example, or how are they working their two jobs. Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun.
Tim Pool
David Hogg for president, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, yes. Here's what I want to say about this. You know what the first thing I thought when I saw this clip was? Bill maher gets around 40,000 viewers in the key demo. Most of his viewers are older, like all cable tv. Who is David Hogg preaching to? I'm not saying it was wrong for him to go on a show like Bill Maher. I mean, older voters vote and they're very powerful. That being said, in 10 years, when Bill Maher's audience, when Fox News's audience, CNN's audience, MSNBC's audience have passed on and are not voting, I'm not trying to be rude. There is going to be a political earthquake in this country and the country is going to shift so far right, people's heads will spin. And I say this because of that real clear politics aggregate that showed every age bracket 70 and under supports Trump or the 40 to 49 was tied for support, but 70 plus was Trump minus 14. That means, that means if you take all 70 plus individuals and say don't vote, Trump wins in a landslide every single time.
Emily Austin
That's so interesting because it, I feel like the younger generation of liberals. When I say liberals, I don't mean liberals. I mean like the woke mob. They're so loud that it's just hard to believe that because they're the ones that are like parading and protesting and he's conservative. Wow.
Tim Pool
Yeah. And they're finding Jesus, which is like the crazy news.
Shane Cashman
Amen.
Emily Austin
I know. It's becoming cool. That was so like I, I think he knew what he was doing. I think that was easy. Clickbait. And I guess it worked because that was a cringey like I'm, I'm pretty young. And I just cringed at that.
Shane Cashman
Like that was not like something that people in a boardroom were talking about being like, you got to say just.
Emily Austin
Like sounds like what you tell an old guy so he can sound relatable to the younger generation. Like young kids just want to get.
Shane Cashman
Laid and have fun rebranding.
Phil Labonte
Look, if you guys are talking about the delivery, that's fine. But the substance of what he was saying up until he said, you know, go out and have fun and get laid, is true. The Democrats have lost young men because they have demonized young men for 20 years. They have lost an entire generation. The reason that Gen Z, Gen Z men in particular are so much more right wing than millennials or even Gen X is because of the way that Gen. The way that Democrats have been treating Gen Z. Yeah, look at this. Men in general.
Tim Pool
But last election, young men ages 18 to 29 backed President Trump 56 to 42, compared to women who preferred Kamala Harris 58 to 41, according to Tufts University. You know, I. I think that women are going to have a snap back to the right. Men will not have a snap to the left. And the reason is, and I mean this with no, with no disrespect, men don't have a biological clock. So what happens right now is young guys, they want to hook up, just like David Hogg says, right? He says they want to get laid. Well, the issue is, for these guys, they're not thinking about when they have to have a family. They're just thinking like, man, the dating pool sucks right now. Dating apps are whack, and these women are all crazy liberals. So what's happening? There's a massive spike in virginity. It's not. It's not so much a spike in virginity. It's that young men are increasingly less likely to have ever had sex and less likely to have had sex within a span of a year. For younger women with biological clocks, once they get into the 30s, they're going to start going to guys. They're going to start looking for partners and saying, I. I want to have, like, it's. It's time. Like, I want to have a family. And the guys are going to be like, let's go on a date. They're going to go on a date, and the guy's going to be like, I'm going to. I'm going to hook up tonight. And then she's going to say, black Lives Matter LGBTQ fist bump. And he's going to say, thank you for your time and leave. And she's going to go, why? And he's going to say, lady, I've got 50 years till I die, and I can have a kid in any one of those years.
Phil Labonte
Sure.
Tim Pool
I'm going to take my time and make sure I find a good mom for the family I want to have. And what's going to end up happening is Women are going to face a pressure men will not face, where they're going to have to capitulate to what the men want. I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm not saying that. I'm not attacking feminists. I'm saying this is a biological reality that I think we're going to start seeing. Young men are conservative, do support Trump, and they don't care that women are liberals and they largely are in their 30s. Guys are going to be like, I'll just find a young conservative woman. Good luck. And these women who are 30 are going to be like, I don't get it. Many of them will give up, have cats, and grow old with no children. And the women who want to have families are going to be like, I was lied to. Feminism is bad. I'm running out of time.
Phil Labonte
There are a lot of women that are, you know, older millennials or Gen X that are realizing that now that feel that way. They're like, I went and I spent all this time having my career, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And When I hit 35, I was like, oh, I want to have kids now. And it was super hard to find someone, or I had problems getting pregnant. There's a lot of women out there that are in that age block and they're like, I was lied to. Feminism lied to me. Because they thought they could do everything at the same time. They thought they could have a family and be a CEO and be a lawyer and blah, blah, blah. They thought they could do everything all at the same time. And you can't. You have to make decisions about what your priority is.
Tim Pool
It's true.
Emily Austin
So I think, I think feminism has been hijacked by this narrative where if you get married young, you're like, weak and you're codependent now, and the male is going to take away all of your rights and all of your big dreams.

Emily Austin
I feel like that's one extreme side and I feel like the other extreme is like motherhood takes away your opportunity of success and you have to, you have to be a full time mom. I think there's like a fine line to tread both you know, I don't like listen, I personally am a very hard worker. I, I have very big dreams and goals and one of my huge goals is to be a mother. Like I don't want a million kids but I definitely want at least two to three. And I don't plan on stopping at all to pursue my career. I'll take a year off like most mothers do. I'm blessed enough that I can take a year off whether it's like a financial burden or like do I have help? Yes. My parents are very young. My mom literally had me at 22, 23. But I'm not going to become that full time stay at home mom. And a lot of women judge me for that and a lot of men judge me for that and I'm like, listen. To each their own. You need to do it works that's best for your family and not raised.
Phil Labonte
To generate children, that's fine but the point is you can't do them, you can't do everything. At the same time you do have to prioritize one or the other. And when you, especially if you've got a full time job, if you want to actually raise your kids, you're going to have to give up that full time job or else it's going to be someone else raising your kids, putting your kids in daycare, putting your kids in school all day long and that means it will be someone else spending more time with your children and than you so you can do your career which if people want to do that that's fine. But there are a lot of people that feel like after they've done that they feel like I missed out on so much of my killed.
Emily Austin
You know it's a choice, it's definitely a sacrifice. Like my mother stopped practicing law because she was like, I felt like I wasn't watching you and your brother grow up. And she doesn't regret that decision?
Phil Labonte
Of course not.
Emily Austin
I look at her and I'm always like wow, like I could never, I don't want to do that. Like, I would like, here's. There was a big debate. Someone remind me of congresswomen who give birth are allowed to vote from home or something. And I think Anna Paulina was against it. And that I agree with. I feel like if you're gonna choose or you accidentally get pregnant while you're sitting in Congress, like, yeah, maybe you're not the best fit to be voting if you're not even present for half of it because you're raising a newborn at home and your priorities are there. That's fine then. Yeah, take a couple years off. And you're right. I guess you can't do both. But to go to Tim's point about all the women that are shifting, right. I think the minute they realize that Trump does not threaten my body, my choice, in fact, the left does that. Let's not even talk about vaccines. I feel like my body was violated then really, there's nothing to hate him about. He's not a misogynist. He's not the rapist they paint him to be. Like, women are just always being lied to by the left. That Trump is going to take away your rights and abortion. And let me tell you something, abortion is not a good thing.
Phil Labonte
Well, women. Women have not. Women have been lied to by the left, not just about Trump. Women have been lied to by the left, like, like for all the time. Like the entire, like, the whole feminism. Feminism argument is a lie, right? Like the idea that men and women, when it comes from the left, it's men and women are the same. You look at the way that China behaved. Men and women dressed the same in China because everybody was equal and everybody was the same. And that's the same. The same narrative that that feminism has fed to women in. In the West. The same thing that the Chinese got about how everyone's the same and everyone is equal. It's the same thing. It's just designed for a western audience.
Emily Austin
Yeah, no, thank you. Men and women are not the same. Not in sports, not physically, not mentally, not emotionally, not in any way. Are we similar.
Tim Pool
You. You, you meant to say grapist.
Emily Austin
Oh, yes.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Sewer slide. Unalived.
Emily Austin
Unalived is my favorite people comment on my TikTok. Can you unalive yourself? And I'm like, I didn't even know that was a thing.
Phil Labonte
See, if you're gonna do that, just go with the very deep lore. Say things like an hero.
Tim Pool
And here. The fact that, the fact that these terms exist proves people reject censorship. They want to talk about these topics. They don't want to hide from them and they will find a way to do so.
Emily Austin
Whether that's true, anyone will all right.

Let's see what y' all got to say. Grab some Y rants. SH Wilder says from your segment on Joe Rogan, it must be noted that Father George's le. How do you pronounce that? Lemaitre first proposed the Big Bang to theorize how God created the universe. It was lauded by Pope Pius XII and Pope John Paul ii, et cetera. You see, Joe Rogan said, if it comes to the Big Bang, I'm sticking with Jesus. Jesus just makes more sense.
Shane Cashman
Incredible.
Tim Pool
Sometimes people come back to life. He wasn't saying that he is Christian. He's saying that when he hears those two stories, one miracle is nuts. The universe was in the head of a pin and then exploded and everything just was. And Jesus is a story of a guy who came back to life. And it's like you don't even need to believe in miracles if you want to take a secular view of that. Sometimes people die and they get resuscitated. So he's not, he's not saying it was a miracle that Jesus was resurrected or anything. But interesting segment nonetheless. Alpha 2 Omega says first. Howdy, people. I just watched the live culture war show today. The guest dis so bad. The guest dis so bad. I wish someone had asked him the breakfast question. Yeah, no point in wasting time with an npc. I thought it was fun, though. That's what you're with Liberals. The next one we're planning in about a month. I'm hoping we can get this set up. It's liberal versus conservative trivia.
Emily Austin
Oh, fun.
Tim Pool
Who do you think is going to win?
Emily Austin
According to who we know.
Tim Pool
What do you mean?
Emily Austin
Like who's judging?
Tim Pool
It's going to. It's a. Yeah, it's a trivia question.
Emily Austin
Oh, right. Oh, conservative.
Tim Pool
I'm, you know, it is going to be contestant selection, obviously, if we pick a bad lib who's not well read or well versed. However, that being said, I don't think you can be A modern colloquial liberal, as we call left tribal. If you actually know the truth, unless you're just lying. The problem then is if you're asked a fact based question and you choose to lie, you will lose. That's the point of doing the, you know, we'll see. There's going to be questions like, you know, first one will just be about a breaker Garcia, you know, in what year was Abrego Garcia adjudicated to be a member of Ms. 13? That's a trick question. He wasn't wrong. Oh, 2019 by judge. And then we just have the panel of judges and we'll show this on the screen, the, the document saying he was. And they'll go, that's not fair. And I'll be like, the court said he was. We are not asserting that he was or wasn't. We said, when did a court adjudicate that he was? So that's your hint. Liberals, it's not about your or my opinion. Did a court say he was? Did a judge say he was?
Emily Austin
I love that.
Tim Pool
Yes. That's all that matters.
Emily Austin
Could you just see a judge file interviews like that and like debunk the narratives?
Tim Pool
Well, they're going to argue that he was never found to be a man. The evidence was no good. We didn't ask why the evidence are good or not, right or not. We asked whether he was adjudicated as and two different judges said, yes, it's not an opinion. That fact really happened.
Emily Austin
Facts care about your feelings.
Tim Pool
Indeed. All right, Joseph said, just a FO says you're understanding the tariffs. 10% of the new ones on everything. 24 fentanyl and 25 for steel and aluminum. 100% on EVs from Chips Act. The tariffs before Trump were 7.25 to 20. 27.5. Indeed, indeed, indeed. Let's see what we got over here. All right, Quantum strange cork says, why are Democrats so upset about the country being gifted a new Air Force One? Did they forget that France donated the Statue of Liberty to the USA too?
Emily Austin
Oh, my God. Compare.
Tim Pool
Because I'll tell you why I think Trump should say no. 1. Trump should not be accepting gifts from foreign governments. Imagine if Israel had purchased them in Air Force One. No, no, we don't want to be involved in that. We don't want to show favoritism. And more importantly, I don't want the president I voted for flying on a foreign constructed. I'm not saying it's a foreign paid vehicle. Okay? American made, American paid. Trump's team is Going to secure it, make sure everything's working properly. I don't trust foreign governments to assist in any way with building vehicles for the President.
Emily Austin
I thought you're not allowed to receive gifts.
Phil Labonte
Well, so essentially the argument, the narrative that I heard is that it's actually not going to Donald Trump, it's going to the Air Force. And the reason is because Boeing, he initially tried to get Boeing to redo Air Force One or to build more. More. Two more Air Force One jets in his first, his first presidency. And they started, but they're not gonna be able to finish them by the end of his second presidency.
Tim Pool
So, so irresistible.
Phil Labonte
But that's the whole point. The problem is Boeing's not deliver on, on what the government needs and what the government wants. So the problem, I don't know the details of why Boeing can't, but clearly it's an issue of, of red tape and of, you know, policy at Boeing. And they're not, they're not following through.
Shane Cashman
Boeing to build anything right now.
Phil Labonte
I mean, look, I'm not either.
Shane Cashman
The space thing was so pathetic.
Phil Labonte
He actually sent, if I understand correctly, he sent musk to Boeing to try and help get rid of the unnecessary issues.
Shane Cashman
I'm sure they like that.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure. But yeah, the problem, it's not that. It's, it's not that it's just a gift. The reason is he needs to get.
Emily Austin
An updated plane and hey, your country is incompetent. Take hours, basically.
Shane Cashman
Sounds villainous.
Emily Austin
You know, you guys suck.
Phil Labonte
But, you know, it's, it's, it's not going to Donald Trump. I personally, I don't think it's a good idea either. They shouldn't take it, but I just.
Emily Austin
Feel like by the time they secure it, it'll take probably the same time as hours to be ready.
Phil Labonte
I don't think so. I think.
Emily Austin
Or will it ever even be secure? How? I just, I don't know. I personally would not.
Phil Labonte
I don't know, but I, I don't think that Boeing is handling their business.
Tim Pool
Gonfal says the Tim Pool sorting beanie will tell you your true political affiliation. Gryffindor, right. Hufflepuff center, or Slytherin left?
Emily Austin
Wait, which one's right?
Tim Pool
Griffin door.
Emily Austin
I always liked Hufflepuff.
Tim Pool
I. My view of it is like, if you were to compare the Harry Potter houses like he's trying to do, Gryffindor would be right wing.
Emily Austin
Yeah, for sure.
Tim Pool
Yeah. But they're like mainstream conservatives. And then Slytherin was the gripers.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, that's good.
Tim Pool
Hufflepuff is like the weird hippie Ian people.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Like Ian sounds like Hufflepuff.
Emily Austin
Oh yeah.
Tim Pool
Hufflepuff looks like Hufflepuff. Ian's probably watching at home being like, yeah, Yep. Yeah. But I think this is related to over the weekend, the woke. Right drama. These people are smarmy, deceptive scumbags. They're playing semantic games. They are woke and I call them the woke. Right? So here's the gist of it. People like James Lindsay, here's what I think about James. He sacrificed his career to call out woke academia. This cult, like psychotic nonsense. It's illogical, doesn't. Critical theory, doesn't make sense. They say 2 plus 2 equals 5. None of it makes sense. And he called him out and he lost his career because of it. He can't work in academia. But he was also irrelevant to the right. Who cares about a former academic liberal guy? So he wasn't getting any traction. He's got family issues.
Emily Austin
Jim's Lindsay.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Now he's like, please let me back in. I can't do this. Apparently people are saying he did an interview with New York Times. He's trying to get back into mainstream liberal space. So he tried doing this thing where he said Christian nationalism is an op, where he attacked Christian nationalists. That does not mean griper. That's a different group but there is some overlap with them that failed. Nobody cared. He spam blasted it, pissed a bunch of people off because it was, it was irritating and incoherent. And so he started getting like. People started saying, bro, you're nuts. He then started getting into it with people like Carl Benjamin. Ultimately fizzled out, lost all relevance and burned himself out. So now he's trying to do this thing called woke, right? Where he said Dave Smith, an anti war libertarian is woke. That makes literally no sense. Candace Owens, Arin McIntyre, even Matt Walsh is now being called Woke. Right? Literally makes no sense. None of it is totally incoherent. What they're doing is they're creating a blanket term for anyone on the right that is outside of like Con Inc. And then what they, what they did was at first they said it's because they're acting like they're woke. Tried to create some criteria that was incoherent. They're trying to. This is what they do with alt right. They said they use the term alt right to describe anybody who is just not a traditional conservative. Tricked a bunch of people into thinking alt right meant New right. And then at the last minute, or not the last minute, but later on publicly declared on the ap, alt right means white nationalist. So all the people who had called themselves alt right and retroactively just applied themselves white nationalist. There were people who were told alt right meant like populist, anti anti establishment. They put it in their Twitter profiles, they said that they were alt right. They tweeted this five months later, AP says, by the way, alt right means white nationalist. And then all of a sudden all of those tweets, all of those posts got highlighted by hate groups and other organizations saying these people have admitted they're white nationalists. That's what you've now got with James Lindsey, Colin Wright, Seth Dillon, many other individuals that have jumped on this bandwagon to label disparate political ideologies. As one faction, the adl has something called the heat map. It is hate extremism, anti Semitism and terrorists. They say that right, right wing means white supremacist, Right wing means anti government and right wing means all other what White supremacists and anarchists, anti government people. There's no overlap there. Like maybe there's an anarchist white supremacist, that's a different overlap. But the idea of an anarcho capitalist anti government guy being the same thing as a white supreme. This is what the WOKE do all the time. So here's why I describe these people, James Lindsay as woke. Right? He is woke. What is WOKE Cult like adherence to the liberal social orthodoxy. That's why they're anti military industrial complex, but pro war. If it's the right war makes no sense. This is why they say women with a Y, women mix in with an X at different times. There is no coherent logic to it. That's why it changes from time to time. And I would say it's liberal, it's cult like adherence to an ever changing social orthodoxy. The reason why a lot of people refer to critical race theory as WOKE is because it is a dominant idea floating among WOKE people. But that could come and go. This, this critical race stuff didn't, wasn't, you know, in the early days of woke we called it intersectional feminism. It changed over time. But the cult main, like the me too is a big component of it. Now Me too isn't really relevant to what it means to be woke. WOKE people fly Ukrainian flags. How does that make sense? What does that have to do with critical race theory? Nothing. So right now, what we're seeing this phenomenon with largely started by James Lindsay, but adopted by People like the Babylon beast Seth Dillon, who. These people won't stop talking about it. They are applying this phrase woke right to anybody seemingly making no sense. Like how does Dave Smith and Nick Fuentes have an overlap? If you're a date, Smith's an anti war libertarian, Jewish guy and comedian. That's it. Nick Fontes is a groiper. There's already words used to describe their, describe their political ideologies. So what happens now is these former liberals, I should say they're current liberals, they were upset over the woke cult bringing in ideas like gender theory and race theory. They said this will destroy liberalism and it will destroy our political faction. Stop doing it. But they were overpowered. So what did they do? They adopted right wing talking points. Even some of them voted for Trump. That is to say they are liberals who never disagreed with the tactics. But they disagreed, I should say, with the overt strategy. But they disagree with the particular ideologies that were brought into the fold of liberalism because it was destructive. So they created a coalition with the populist right. And now that critical race theory and critical gender theory are largely being curtailed. Light bulb. We now need to reaffirm, re. Establish control over the liberal orthodoxy. How do we do that? Punish anyone outside of our space? First draw the battle lines. If you're, if you're to the right of Khan Inc. You are now woke. Right? That's the phrase we're gonna use to describe you. Ah, ah, ah. Here's how I say it. They are woke people who adopted right wing talking points so that they could control the liberal orthodoxy the way they wanted it to be. The, the best way to understand this is Dave Smith and Nick Fuentes have nothing in common except they're critical of the war in Israel in different ways. Candace Owens, she does celebrity gossip as well as she's critical of Israel. Arin McIntyre, he's like a civic nationalist. Mike Cernovich, Matt Walsh, these are like run of the mill conservatives. They have started to label everybody because this is what the woke has always done. Create a term to describe your enemies, attack the perceived enemies, lie about what they believe. Another example is Colin Wright falsely framed my argument. Claimed in a post that I said liberals in general are woke adjacent. Never said that. And then showed past tweets of mine where I said I was a liberal and then a bunch of this is what the woke people do. They deceive and lie to get power because cult like adherence to their orthodoxy is what makes their political faction. I consider myself to be somewhat socially Liberal, even economically liberal, and then conservative in some ways. Maybe family stuff. Liberals used to be for that. I don't see how being a liberal precludes family stuff, but I digress. So I'm not opposed to liberalism, but it is completely illiberal to lie about the political beliefs of an entire. Of entire groups of different ideologies, to attack them as one. The fact that they are lying to steal political power and trick disaffected liberals into marching in lockstep with their liberal orthodoxy is wokeness. And I can describe another simple way. When Donald Trump won the first time, I said, I'm not a fan of him. I don't like the way he behaves. It's a lack of decorum. However, liberals stop making me defend Trump. They say, did you know that Donald Trump called Nazis very fine people? No, he didn't. Why are you defending him? I'm not. I'm telling you the truth. That's where we're at now. These people who are trying to push this op against all conservatives and Gatekeep are saying, Tim's not Tim's. You claimed he was a liberal, but now he's just. He loves Trump so much. No, I just hate you for lying and accusing people of something they're not doing and creating fake, fake reasons to rally people against the populist coalition. These are. These are smarmy scumbag liars that. I get really heated on this, because I'll tell you the one thing I hate the most in everything. When the media lies, when the left lies, and if the right lies, I'll call them liars.
Emily Austin
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And the fact that you've got these disaffected liberal types now trying to lie, to steal political power to shore up their control over liberal orthodoxy. This is what these people do. They are woke. They just don't like the tenets that were brought in by progressives. They would gladly have you fired from your job. They would gladly have all of these things, these bad things happen to you, but they just want it under their terms, and they're gonna cut everybody out. That's the game that's being played. I think they're looking at, like, the liberal side of things has crumbled because of these critical theories. How do we reestablish the liberal orthodoxy so that it adheres to a general, a moderate concept? Okay. They're lying about people falsely accusing them of things they never said. That's the game. That's the game. And you are gonna end up. You already are. What we're Already seeing is disaffected liberals who voted for Trump now believing the false narratives being pushed by these people. It's smarmy scumbag bs. I digress.
Emily Austin
Back to the wait. Don't digress because I have a comment and a question for you. My comment is it's very telling that if you feel the need to label yourself with something politically that's already giving like cult like symptoms. Secondly, I think just given the last four years, it's been very transparent as, as to what characteristics the woke left have. But what specific characteristics would you say the woke right have? Because some people just like can't tell the difference. Like you said. I've been guilty of it too, by the way. If people come off too anti Israel, I'm like, oh, they're woke right? And then I'll be like, they're not woke right. They're just like anti Israel and anti Semitic sometimes.
Tim Pool
And so the problem then is the James Lindsay came out and said that their actual goal is to attack conservatism. They use the anti Israel stuff of like Nick Fuentes to then make liberals go, oh, I don't like that guy. He's bad. He's woke right. Then they lean and go, dave Smith's also woke right? And they go, really? Like Nick Fuentes. Whoa. And then they go, Matt Walsh too. And they go, whoa, Matt Walsh, wow. They're all woke right? It's like, what, Matt Walsh works at the Daily World.
Emily Austin
On what basis are they woke? Right?
Tim Pool
There's none.
Shane Cashman
It's incoherent, a nebulous term.
Emily Austin
What characteristics would you say? Like boom, boom, boom. You're woke right?
Tim Pool
Woke right actually means to me if you are a woke person, cult like adherence to the liberal orthodoxy who has tried using right wing talking points to. To maintain control. Woke right is James Lindsay. Woke right is Colin Wright and Seth Dillon. These are people. And Seth Dillon's more of a conservative, don't get me wrong. But these are people we're talking about.
Emily Austin
Seth Dillon from the Babylon.
Tim Pool
Yes. He is going hard on this all day every. Because what they're doing is they're lying about the views of people to create a liberal orthodoxy that they want. That's what woke always was. People misplaced this because in the past few years we saw critical race theory. Go back 10 years to gamergate and you're not gonna see the exact same things. You see some of it, some of it, but it was largely based on women. And the MeToo movement also was about sexual assault. The cult adhered to these things, canceled people over them. It wasn't always about race. It was just about adhering to the liberal orthodoxy. So now you've got this cohort of people on X who are spam blasting that random disparate right wing ideologies are actually all one ideology. Woke, right? And that is completely meaningless. What does Dave Smith have in common with Nick Fuentes?
Emily Austin
They're both anti Israel.
Tim Pool
Is Dave the same kind of anti Israel as Nick Fuentes? No, not at all.
Emily Austin
Trump definitely hates Jews, right?
Tim Pool
And Dave is concerned about war. And if outside of the war thing, he's gonna be like, then we shouldn't fund Israel. But he's not gonna. That's, that's about far it goes. What about Mike Cernovich?
Emily Austin
Can't figure him out.
Tim Pool
He's.
Emily Austin
Sometimes I like his tweets and I'm like, oh my God, who wrote this? I look at the tweet before the person like, wow, what a great take. And I'm like, oh, it's Mike. And the next time, like, oh, what a disgusting take. I'm like, oh, it's Mike. And I'm like, wait, how do I. Like how.
Tim Pool
Remember how we got angry that woke people called everybody white supremacists.
Emily Austin
The woke left.
Tim Pool
The woke left. Yeah, yeah, everybody's a white supremacist, right? That's exactly what these liberals are doing with the phrase woke, right? Which is actually them. They are woke, but they are the right side of woke. Trying to adopt populist talking points related to Trump to trick the disaffected. It, it's, it's, it's really simple. People like me left, we said, the liberals have gone like, the liberals have gone nuts. They've adopted these weird ideas like critical race theory. But liberalism itself ain't bad, right? These people said, hey, we lost people like Tim Pool. How do we get them back? We need to reestablish the cult, like adherence to the orthodoxy, but get rid of the ideas that force them out. They lie to do it. They accuse people of being white supremacists and anti Semites in order to do it. So what happens at first is they go woke, right? Like Nick Fuentes. And I said, you're saying he's like a collectivist and identitarian? Is that what you're saying? I don't think that defines woke because it doesn't explain like support for Ukraine, but I get your point. Then they went, Matt Walsh too. And I was like, what? Dave smith? Huh? Oren McIntyre? You're just naming random conservatives and right aligned people. And then I got pissed because now they're taking things I said out of context and they're lying about things I say trying to do the same thing. They're just attacking anybody who's not aligned with their cult view of what liberalism should be and calling them a name. Let's read some more super chats. All right. Ramtac says phil, you can take the U. S. Citizenship. Citizenship test in Spanish for those who don't know English.
Phil Labonte
Shame.
Emily Austin
And I just mentioned that we should be more proficient in English and this is what they do.
Tim Pool
Neglectful sausage says neglectful sausage. Trump's South African refugee move was genius and wise. Everyone is showing themselves to be anti white racists. They are now. They aren't real refugees. Cuz white and even churches taken over by woke are refusing to help. Seriously.
Shane Cashman
Episcopalian church is a captured church.
Tim Pool
Oh yeah.
Shane Cashman
There's so many Episcopalian churches that are covered in rainbow flags.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. The Episcopalian churches, they accept women as. As pastors.
Tim Pool
Right.
Phil Labonte
That was the woman that was giving Trump the what for. She was giving him crap.
Shane Cashman
She's probably Episcopalian.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Emily Austin
My God, I saw a church in Manhattan with a trans flag on it.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Like heresy.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. God didn't get it right. God gave you the wrong body.
Emily Austin
God makes no mistakes. But with you he might have. We'll make an exception to our rule.
Tim Pool
The onion dip says Alex Jones is right. I don't even know who you are, lady.
Emily Austin
Oh my God, I'm so insulted. Onion dip.
Tim Pool
Alex Jones went on Joe Rogan and said that there are chimeras being created and that 5G was mutating people and there's interdimensional beings and all of that stuff.
Phil Labonte
Look, man, come on.
Shane Cashman
Problem.
Tim Pool
Come on. However, Alex Jones also accurately called out the invasion of Ukraine. I think like five months before it happened. That's why we have the Alex Jones was right jar because sometimes he says crazy things, sometimes he predicts things that we're like, wow, it's almost like Ian rolling a one or 20. But the truth is Alex rolls a bit more 20s, but he does have his one sometimes.
Emily Austin
You know, it's the most frustrating when, when someone's not always wrong, like Kanye west, you could say he's a nut and he ran off the deep end. But I hate when somebody like Candace Owens, for example, was somebody that I used to look up to so much. But then she'll have such crazy conspiracy theories that I'm like, now, even when you're right, I don't want to Give you the credit because you're so unhinged, but you make good points sometimes. Even Andrew Tate. I used to love Andrew Tate. Now you're disgusting.
Tim Pool
I don't think that ye. Went crazy.
Emily Austin
So what is this?
Tim Pool
He's. He's. He's trying to attack. Attack the. The. The structure, the system.
Emily Austin
So you don't think he's, like, missing meds?
Shane Cashman
He's not crazy.
Tim Pool
I don't think he's crazy.
Emily Austin
He's so insane. I think he.
Tim Pool
Have you ever met him?
Shane Cashman
Seems that way to you?
Emily Austin
Like, I never spoke to him, but.
Tim Pool
In person, he acts completely differently. We. We filmed it. You were there, right? Yeah, he was. For an hour. He's talking like this. Like, you know, here's what I'm thinking. You know, I'm gonna. I'm gonna run.
Emily Austin
And what if he's bipolar? What if he's like that and then he closes the door and he's a nutshell.
Shane Cashman
That was a misdiagnosed.
Tim Pool
Yeah, when the camera turns on is when his bipolar starts. Right? I don't buy it.
Emily Austin
I mean, here's what I think. I've seen him on camera, unhinged as well. I think we all.
Tim Pool
On camera, he's always unhinged. Off camera, he's.
Emily Austin
Oh, you're saying off camera, he's normal.
Tim Pool
He was at our studio before the show started talking like this. He said, you know, it's really interesting what we're seeing with Trump, you know, and it's really interesting about this SpaceX stuff. That's how he was talking. And then he's sitting in the chair, and we're talking to him, and he's like. Right before the show, he looks at Milo. What do you think about Mike Pence? Do you think. You think Trump trusts him? And Milo's like, well, you know, Pence camera turns on, and he goes, y' all stay, man. Like, oh, man. And I was just like, whoa, what just happened to this guy? He was fake. He had a plated jet waiting for him. He was. It was. He was planning on storming off.
Shane Cashman
The thing he did that's interesting about him, though, is he thinks he's the greatest and smartest, but he also doesn't think he is. That's why he is always collaborating with people that he thinks are very talented. Like, he's love a Milo around or have, you know, bony hair.
Emily Austin
That normal. If you tweet the things that you tweet. Like, I sucked off my cousin eight years ago.
Shane Cashman
You understand how we don't understand a Sweater. It's in the song.
Tim Pool
So. So here's what I think happened. He's obviously there's that weird stuff with like the Pasternat guy or whatever that was all about. Yeah, there's weird stuff related to that. He gets, he gets into it with Kim, he loses his kids, he gets his bank account frozen. The people who are coming after him, the people who are causing him problems happen to be Jewish. The people who are on the labels, the people who are cutting his business deals. And so that he then says is, these guys who are causing me problems are all Jewish. I am going to try and hurt them in the most vile way that I can.
Emily Austin
Wait, can I play a video? It's my favorite video. This video. I have it like on bookmark on X. Wait, ready? Hold on.
Tim Pool
So I'm envious of the Jewish people. I'm envious of how they don't abort their children. They don't shoot each other in the streets and then rap about it. I. I'm envious of how their, their families stay together. I'm envious that they turn their phones off on Friday night and the family comes together. I'm envious of how they do the business together.
Emily Austin
And that's the truth.
Tim Pool
So my point is, the reason why he makes this song is because he's trying to slight specific individuals.
Emily Austin
No, for sure.
Tim Pool
And he's using the Nazi thing as the most offensive thing he can do. So I love that he used it.
Emily Austin
Because they also killed black people. So I'm like, you just look even more dumb.
Tim Pool
But it's, it's, it's all personal. It's all personal. It's like probably three or four guys in the industry that screwed him over. And so we said, I'm going to use my 33 million follower voice to amplify what hurts you the most. Trying. It's personal. We're going to go to the members only uncensored show, my friends.

Timcast IRL Podcast Summary
Episode: Market SKYROCKETS On Trump US China Trade Deal, Even CNN Calls It WIN
Release Date: May 13, 2025
Host: Tim Pool
Guests: Emily Austin, Shane Cashman, Phil Labonte
Timestamp: [00:50] – [12:54]
Tim Pool opens the episode discussing former President Donald Trump's recent trade deal with China, which has led to a positive rebound in the stock markets. Contrary to widespread skepticism within online communities like Reddit, where many had predicted prolonged market downturns due to Trump's earlier tariff implementations, the markets have not only recovered but, in some indices like the S&P 500, have surpassed pre-tariff levels.
Despite the recovery, Trump maintains a 34% tariff on Chinese goods, slightly reduced from an initial 145%, which Tim interprets as a strategic move to retain significant tariffs while avoiding the extreme backlash that higher tariffs would have caused.
Phil Labonte adds that CNN recognizing the deal as a victory signifies a shift in media portrayal of Trump, who has traditionally been antagonized by major networks.
Timestamp: [12:54] – [14:27]
The conversation shifts to a concerning development reported by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), where a video surfaced showing a member of Congress physically assaulting a federal agent. This incident has sparked riots outside a New Jersey facility, with Democrats using the event to rally against perceived violence and crime, labeling the aggressor as an insurrectionist.
Shane Cashman and Phil Labonte discuss the implications of such actions, asserting that Democrats are painting their opponents as violent insurrectionists based on isolated incidents.
Timestamp: [20:38] – [27:00]
The discussion transitions to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s support for Trump’s executive order aimed at reducing drug prices. Tim Pool highlights RFK Jr.'s unexpected endorsement, noting it as a significant move given Kennedy's liberal background.
Phil Labonte emphasizes the importance of this executive action, suggesting that it breaks decades-old deadlocks influenced by the powerful pharmaceutical lobby.
The episode critiques the Democratic Party's historical inaction on drug pricing reforms, highlighting Trump's unexpected alignment with efforts to reduce costs for consumers.
Timestamp: [27:00] – [44:33]
Tim Pool addresses Trump's immigration policies, particularly focusing on the resettlement of refugees from South Africa. He criticizes the Democrats for opposing these efforts, labeling those who resist as racists. The conversation includes the Episcopal Church's decision to terminate its partnership with the federal government to resettle white African refugees, citing moral opposition.
Emily Austin and Shane Cashman discuss the implications of such policies, arguing that legal and vetted immigrants should be welcomed while illegal immigration should be curtailed to maintain national security and economic stability.
The panel debates the ethics and practicality of resettling specific refugee groups, emphasizing the need for fairness and legality in immigration processes.
Timestamp: [44:33] – [70:55]
Tim Pool criticizes mainstream media for their biased portrayal of Donald Trump, particularly focusing on how networks like CNN use excessive photo editing to make his complexion appear unnaturally orange.
The discussion extends to conspiracy theories surrounding Alex Jones, where Phil Labonte and Emily Austin express frustration over Jones' dual nature—sometimes providing accurate insights while also promoting unfounded conspiracies. They debate the legitimacy and impact of Jones' controversial statements and actions.
Timestamp: [70:55] – [84:32]
The conversation shifts to the impact of physical attributes, such as height, on political success. Tim Pool references studies indicating that taller individuals are more likely to attain leadership positions, including the U.S. presidency. The panel discusses how this subconscious bias affects female candidates, particularly focusing on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC).
Emily Austin and Phil Labonte debate the implications of these biases, arguing that they hinder qualified female candidates from succeeding.
The segment underscores the societal and psychological barriers women face in politics, beyond just policy disagreements.
Timestamp: [84:32] – [101:18]
Tim Pool delves into the concept of "woke" culture, arguing that it has been co-opted and diluted by both liberals and conservatives to maintain control over political narratives. He criticizes individuals like James Lindsay and Seth Dillon for redefining "woke" to include right-wing ideologies, creating a nebulous and inconsistent term that undermines genuine political discourse.
Phil Labonte and Emily Austin discuss how this manipulation of language serves to fragment political opposition and stifle meaningful dialogue, leading to increased polarization and misunderstanding among different political groups.
Timestamp: [101:18] – [126:11]
The episode features interactions with the audience through super chats, where listeners share their thoughts and questions. Tim Pool announces upcoming events, such as a second Culture War Live event featuring a trivia game between liberals and conservatives. The panel encourages listeners to participate and engage with the community.
Additionally, the hosts promote their social media handles and other platforms, encouraging listeners to follow and support the show.
Timestamp: [126:11] – End
As the episode concludes, the hosts reiterate key points discussed throughout the show, emphasizing the importance of truthful media representation, fair immigration policies, and the detrimental effects of distorted political narratives. They encourage listeners to stay informed, engage in constructive debates, and participate in upcoming events to further the discourse on these critical issues.
