Auron McIntyre (4:58)

Thanks for having me again.

Tim Pool (4:59)

Who are you? What do you do?

Auron McIntyre (5:00)

I host the Oren McIntyre show over at Blaze TV. We're on YouTube, Rumble, all those places. And of course, I've also got my book, the Total State.

Tim Pool (5:08)

Right on. We also have a fun panel today. We got Chuck hanging out.

Auron McIntyre (5:11)

Hey, what's up, guys? How you guys doing? I'm the host of the Green Room. We're. If you want to check that out, it's behind the paywall on a Rumble Premium. So sign up. We released the George Santos video yesterday. If you want to get a sneak peek of that.

Tim Pool (5:24)

Very cool. Kellen's hanging out. Yeah.

Kellen (5:26)

I think this is my first appearance on irl, usually behind the scenes, so.

Tim Pool (5:30)

But you've been on many times. Sure.

Kellen (5:32)

Yeah. As like, a panelist, I guess. I'm usually filling in for Surge when I have been on in the past, but as. Hello, everybody. My name is Kellen. I work behind the scenes here at Timcast. We just wrapped an awesome culture war this morning. Brian Shapiro was sitting in the seat. You were Oren. And, you know, he brought this energy that makes me really stoked for this culture war event we've got coming up.

Tim Pool (5:51)

Yeah. And I called him a retard and he asked me to take it back.

Kellen (5:54)

That's true, dude.

Tim Pool (5:55)

He said, please film a video with me saying I'm not a. Yeah.

Kellen (5:58)

So make sure you guys check that out and get your tickets to the event coming up on November 8th.

Tate Brown (6:02)

That's right. What's up, guys? Tate Brown here holding it down. I'm really excited about this. Be a fun show. I love, love or on, so it's gonna be great. And yeah, go watch the. The George Santos tapes released yesterday on the Green Room. There's a wild chat in there. I filled him in on a lot of, like, what he missed out in while he was in jail and he didn't know Diane Keaton died.

Auron McIntyre (6:20)

Yeah, no, he just.

Tate Brown (6:21)

He found out and I cry. It was pretty emotional. So go watch to see his emotions full display.

Tim Pool (6:26)

And obviously for everybody at this point, you understand why Phil's not here. He just had a baby. Congratulations to Phil labonte, lead singer of all that remains. Anti anti communist and counter revolutionary. Shout out. We'll, we'll, we'll have you back when you're, when you're ready. But in the meantime, let's jump to the first story from Fox. KTVU live updates. Gunfire rings out at end of Bay Area immigration protests. Now the funny thing is when I first saw this video of. Dude, this video is nuts. Wait till you guys see it. We got, we got updated video. ABC News just reported shots fired after vehicle driving erratically attempts to back into Coast Guard base. I believe ABC News intentionally obfuscated the truth about what really happened because this was from all available evidence, a leftist terror attack on a military installation. We've got this video here. Check this, check this, check it out. For those that are listening to U Hauls pulling forward. The person driving is pulling forward. They stop. Now they're gonna accelerate, accelerate backwards. And there's a ton of dudes with guns, aimed rifles. Listen to this. You hear the screaming? So, so when I first watched this video, there's a guy going, ah, ah, ah. I'm gonna play that again, see if you can hear what he says. Because I can hear what he's saying now.

Auron McIntyre (8:07)

I got hit, right?

Tim Pool (8:08)

I got hit. He said that we got video of it. This is insane. It's not really graphic. But I'm not gonna show the full video because he does display a gunshot wound. It's not, it's not, it's so for people that people don't know this. The gunshot wound is, it's a small hole in his chest. You don't, there's no blood spilling everywhere. It's just a hole in his chest. So I, I, I'll just play the beginning where you can see it. I won't show the actual foot. You can see the U. Haul right here. It's about to back up.

Auron McIntyre (8:37)

Look at everybody running. I got hit.

Tate Brown (8:57)

I got hit.

Tim Pool (8:59)

Come here, come here. Okay. Oh, let me see. I think it was it rubber? I don't know. Hop in the car anyways. Let's find a who.

Jeff Bridges (9:10)

They just got the knocking.

Tim Pool (9:12)

Let me see, let me. So he then pulls his shirt. I'm not going to show it. But he, someone asked him, is it rubber, bro? I do these, these, these LARPers need to, they do not get the game they're playing. These. Look at, look, I, I want to jump back to this video. Look at these guys. These cops, they are not playing around. It looks like several, several of them have long guns and some with handguns. They were prepared to kill the person who accelerates at a high speed with a box truck towards them. And these people are larping and after a dude gets shot they go, is it rubber? Do you see people with, with rubber bullets? These guys have guns at a military installation. They are playing live action role play. Guys, I think it's getting crazy out there. This is, this, this escalation is getting nuts. The left is going to react to this saying cops shot an innocent person. They're going to increase the rhetoric and it's going to get crazy.

Auron McIntyre (10:02)

It's very clear. This is what happens when you have a generation of revolutionaries who are raised on Marvel movies and Star wars, right? Like, they've never seen real violence. It's all a video game to them. They've never met anybody who's been in combat, in law enforcement, in the military. They've probably never even shot a gun. These guys are just out there playing a video game and when the inevitable consequences come, they're still just acting like it's TV show. Oh, let me see. It'll be funny. There must be rubber bullets. No, man, when you drive a truck and attempt to run over armed men, they're going to shoot you with real bullets so they don't die. It's not a game anymore. But that's always the most dangerous people. People don't understand why what they're pushing into, they're pushing violence, but they don't get what's coming if they actually achieve what they want.

Tate Brown (10:41)

Yeah, well that's what you see like at a lot of these riots especially there's literally hired photographers, but not from the press. It's to like distribute, you know, high quality photographs for people's Instagrams. Cause like at the end of the day they just see this, like you said, as some sort of Marvel movie or something like that. And yeah, they're totally detached from the reality of like, no, you're dealing with federal, federal law. Federal law enforcement.

Auron McIntyre (11:04)

Yeah.

Tate Brown (11:05)

They're not going to hesitate if you're driving a box truck at them. They're going to let it fly.

Tim Pool (11:07)

Part of me hopes these leftists are going to be like, I'm not going to this ever again.

Tim Pool (11:42)

I don't want to die, but I fear that we're actually going to see, considering how extreme things have gotten is, they're going to now use us to recruit far leftists are going to go to colleges and they're going to show the person going, I got hit, I got hit. And they're going to be like, look, they shot a random innocent person.

Kellen (11:54)

This is what they're doing with the costumes in Portland and now in Chicago with the big inflatable costumes. That's like, look, we're just, we're having a good time. We're silly. We're dancing. We're not these violent extremists. And then Cam Higby actually got it on video yesterday. They have a clothing rack, this antifa like encampment. They have a clothing rack of all these inflatable suits. So it's planned. They're like, hey, we're gonna pass these out. It's gonna make it seem silly. Then the media can't. You know.

Tim Pool (12:19)

In my younger years, I dressed up like a giant ice cream cone man in one of these suits. I had a friend who was a manager at a Dairy Queen and it was in downtown Chicago. And I'd go and hang out there when I was downtown and just bored and get free ice cream. Let's go. And then she was complaining that nobody would like. She was like, someone's supposed to dress up like the ice cream man and go out and dance around and hand out these coupons, but nobody will do it. And I was like, what? Why not? She's like, they're embarrassed. And I was like, are you kidding? I get to. I will do it right now. And she's like, you wanna do it? I'm like, do you mean I get to be the ice cream cone? And so you put on the suit and there's a box in it. You turn it on and it blows air. It's got a tube that goes at the back so it pulls air and it inflates itself. You are walking in an inflated tent. Now I'm being a bit silly. This is true. I did dance around Chicago outside of the. Was it the Thompson Center? It's gone now. The point I'm bringing up is that these people could have weapons and you can't see it because the suit's inflated and your arm could be inside. You don't need to put it through. So the whole thing's like a balloon. And you could pull your arms in like this and do it. You play video games and it's air conditioned. It's kind of nice. But they could have weapons and the cops can't see this. So it is particularly. What's the right word? Insidious, perhaps, is a word that may describe this. My fear is that as this escalation continues, they're gonna hold weapons inside of these things to hide them because you can't see the outline of the body. And then when the person on camera is in the frog costume dancing and the cops are seen taking them down, the left will use it as propaganda. Oh, they're attacking the innocent people who are just dancing. Of course we who are paying attention. We'll then see them, see them rip the suit open and pull a gun out or something. But the left is going to use these tactics because they're playing a manipulation game and it works. I'll just give a shout out to the culture war episode earlier where I asked our friend Brian Shapiro a million times, what was Trump charged with? And he didn't know. He just said he was convicted on 34 counts. And I'm like, of what? And he's like, he had no answer. And I'm like, this is what divides left and the right. You. You are like, you're saying the government said it was true, therefore it is. I'm saying I want to see the proof. Tell me what happened.

Tate Brown (14:24)

Yeah, Well, I mean, you even saw to your previous point with the inflatable costumes. I think it was in Portland where there was the video of DHS or someone. They were spraying mace into, like, the air intake of the costume.

Auron McIntyre (14:35)

Yeah.

Tate Brown (14:36)

Which is, like, hilarious. Very base. We love to see that. But, like, on a serious note, like from a security concern, that was what was cited by a lot of people online is they're saying, yeah, as soon as you pull your hands in, like, the arms will stay inflated. And then you could be doing who knows what in there.

Auron McIntyre (14:50)

They have a knife, anything gooning.

Tate Brown (14:52)

Who knows, who knows? I don't want to know what's going on.

Auron McIntyre (14:55)

I mean, with that crowd. Yeah, probably. Probably like almost 100% naked bike ride.

Tim Pool (15:00)

There's a frog and all you see is the front of it going like this. You're like, oh, what's going on in there?

Tate Brown (15:05)

I don't know. I don't want to know. You know what? DHS leave them secured.

Auron McIntyre (15:08)

Let's just let them have fun. Yeah, but this really makes it like the Baudrillard's hyper reality of revolution, right? Like, you have this very strange, abstract version of this where people are dancing around in costumes and no one knows what's real. And if somebody gets shot, it's probably just a joke or something. Like, no one even knows how to take the revolution seriously. And this is in. But this also, like, obscures the real danger because the only reason that things have not gotten worse is that the left is so bad at this. Right? They're so stupid. We have multiple people who were captured by ICE who get shot instead of ICE agents because the guy doesn't know how to shoot when he's trying to assassinate ICE agents. We have failed bombings, we have failed assaults. We have a failed attempt to run a blockade here. Like, it's only because these guys are so bad at their job that we don't have multiple dead agents.

Tim Pool (15:58)

What did you.

Auron McIntyre (15:59)

What was it called, Baudrillard? Hyper reality.

Tim Pool (16:01)

Baudrillard's hyper reality.

Tate Brown (16:02)

Yeah, yeah.

Auron McIntyre (16:03)

Jean Baudrillard's a French philosopher.

Tim Pool (16:05)

I'm just sitting here being like, the IQ jumped 40 points. Because a moment ago he's like, that guy could be gooning in there type of reality.

Auron McIntyre (16:12)

I mean, to be fair, Baudrillard would probably make that reference.

Tate Brown (16:14)

But yes, I'm a listener of his show. And then he starts saying, I'm just sitting there. I'm like, I can't even work a Coke freestyle machine. And he's like, drop.

Tim Pool (16:21)

Well, that's embarrassing.

Tate Brown (16:22)

It's pretty. I tried to find the diet option and I just like, kind of shut, you know?

Tim Pool (16:25)

You know, what needs to happen. See, the right isn't subversive enough. Conservatives need to buy a bunch of these costumes, join the protest, and then literally just start slapping the belly of the thing so it looks like they're goning. Because then people are going to be like, all of these leftists shut up in front of the ICE facility and are just gooning in these weird costumes. They'll stop wearing them.

Tate Brown (16:42)

Yeah, there's something to be said about that point. Like, following World War II, the Japanese, I think it was the Minister of Culture, Ministry of Tourism, they commissioned, like, anime, like hello Kitty and these sorts of things because they wanted to, like, soften their image to the world. Because at the time in, you know, 1948, you ask someone what they think about Japan, they'd be like, oh, they're like committing seppuku and flying planes around in the. You know, so they had to, like, soften their image. And then this is what the left is trying to do. But the problem is, like, you have a frog standing right next to a U Haul truck flying in reverse.

Tim Pool (17:10)

This is really work. This is the sad reality of Japan. The. The culture that they've largely built in their media is all just the most brutal stuff. So, like, what do we watch? Simpsons. Homer's a moron. We had Married With Children. Bundy's a moron. You get King of Queens. I don't know the guy's name. I don't know.

Tate Brown (17:27)

Doug Kaffernan.

Tim Pool (17:27)

Is that. There you go. A moron. In Japan there. I understand we have superheroes, too. We have Super Superman, but we put those shows on for kids in the morning, and then we put the morons on at night. And it's sad what's happening in Japan, because Japan, they actually have Goku. Like, you go to some of these. I can't remember which. Which area it is, but there's a gigantic cut out of Goku. And if doesn't know who he is, it's Dragon Ball Z. The whole saga of Dragon Ball Z is basically beating each other up, fighting war, people dying. And that's their culture. This is wild. They have shows that are not about. That are about, like, kids in high school, and they're all fighting each other and doing martial arts. It's just like their high school drama. There's, like, people fighting each other. And I'm like, people in Japan are just real brutal, but now they're just getting. They're getting stomped on. Yeah.

Tate Brown (18:17)

Yeah. Well, I mean, a lot of it was. Dave Chappelle had a famous bit where he was like, we bombed the masculinity of Japan. We dropped two nukes, and they started drawing hello Kitty and stuff. And then a lot of anthropologists were like, that's. I mean, he didn't know this, but that's obviously true. That is what happened is, to an extent, the masculinity was bombed out of. And they started drawing and see kind of the same thing in the United States, where, you know, people are getting a little soft. And. Yeah, that's what the left is trying to do here is reframe this. But the problem, like I said earlier, is, like, it's really hard to pull that off when there's, like, a riot happening next to you, and it's, like, clear they're in the same movement.

Tim Pool (18:47)

I gotta say, I think Japan historically had, like, the highest T culture.

Tate Brown (18:52)

Mishima. Yeah.

Tim Pool (18:53)

And I know people are going to be like, I don't know, man. The Europeans are pretty based. But like, yes, The Europeans had more landmass. I think the Japan was on this island. But the Japanese people were like, they would commit suicide if they dishonored their family. They are probably the gooniest culture of any culture I've ever seen in my life. Have you guys ever been to Japan? You've been.

Auron McIntyre (19:12)

I have not.

Tim Pool (19:13)

They've mastered. They have masturbation, like fast food chains, basically.

Auron McIntyre (19:16)

Wait, what?

Tim Pool (19:17)

So they have a chain of businesses where you can go in to, as the children say, goon, right. Or the young men say, you go in and there's a creepiest thing. It's just.

Auron McIntyre (19:29)

I would imagine it's already creepy to begin with.

Tim Pool (19:32)

I'm in Japan. I'm like, we have to go. And we walk. We walk in. Are you kidding?

Auron McIntyre (19:37)

You have to check it out. You have.

Tim Pool (19:38)

I did not say service the.

Kellen (19:40)

The business on the ground at the goon station in Japan.

Tate Brown (19:44)

Iwab you will goon.

Tim Pool (19:46)

We did. We did.

Auron McIntyre (19:47)

Mine do is the Japanese, right?

Tim Pool (19:48)

We did a mini doc on the five story tall sex store.

Tate Brown (19:51)

Oh, wow.

Tim Pool (19:52)

Yeah, it's like famous in Japan. And then they have these buildings everywhere. And I said, what is that? And they're like our Japanese tours, like us where you go to, you know. And I'm like, no, I don't know. And they're like masturbate or. Or master. I don't know how they said mass. They can't say ours. And then. I'm not being mean, just they can't. And we go in and like there's a bunch of stuff in like plastic. There's like plastic cubbies. There were towels that were stained and you were supposed to use them. And there were TVs of people in the room gooning because they wanted you to watch them. And you could buy dirty underwear, porn. And like you'd go into a room and you had the choice of being watched by other people or not. And I'm like, this is disgusting.

Tate Brown (20:33)

You just described la quinta. That's what a la quinta is. You know, you just go there, you cheat on your wife, you know, you get in a bar fight. Like it's kind of the fundamentally the same way.

Kellen (20:41)

That's what Zoran wants for New York City though. Like he wants these five stations in New York City, five story tall. Because, you know. But in all seriousness, he does want to legalize prostitution, right? And that it's just more incentive to get, you know, those.

Tim Pool (20:53)

I respect it if he was honest about it.

Kellen (20:54)

His animal instincts, you know, like that Japan, they're not Having kids because everyone's already satisfied.

Tim Pool (20:59)

Imagine if Zoran at the debate was just like, well I just gotta say we want a goon station and we're gonna build them.

Kellen (21:06)

What's the big idea?

Tate Brown (21:08)

Curtis Lee would be like, I got.

Tim Pool (21:10)

Shot outside a goon station in 1985. Three guys were goning in front of me. When I yelled at him, they shot me.

Kellen (21:18)

Now I will say the video win.

Tim Pool (21:19)

Now I hope sleep wins.

Kellen (21:20)

The video in the, the U haul truck with, with the journalists, all LARPers all standing in front. It reminds me of the Civil War movie and like experiences you've talked about Tim, where these people like think it's a game. They, it doesn't click. Like the, the gravity of the situation doesn't click in their heads. And that's why people were shot because like you look at the video and they're standing right in front of guns.

Tim Pool (21:39)

Well, to be, to be fair, in that second video where the guy got shot, you can't actually see the, the, the officers. Okay, so you're a block away. But these guys had rifles. It looks like some of these law enforcement guys are holding long guns, which means that bullet is flying.

Kellen (21:52)

It was a Coast Guard base, right? So that was the security checkpoint.

Tim Pool (21:55)

Can we just, can we just. Guys, it appears okay. And I don't think anybody disagrees. Leftists just tried to attack a Coast Guard base. Is this where people go, whoa, the left has gone crazy, let's stop? Unfortunately, I don't think so.

Tate Brown (22:11)

Well, I've made this point before to like to a lot. So Tim Casters are probably annoyed at this point, but there is something fundamentally about ICE that animates the left. These leftist, you know, political agitators, something about ICE specifically animates them. And I like to ask guests kind of if we can drill down on what that is. From my perspective, it's just because fundamentally ICE kind of is the bastion of defending America's borders and defending the American nation at large. And they have such self hatred for themselves as Americans specifically like the white liberals in Portland that that's what animates them so much. Cuz Trump's doing a lot of things like what HHS is doing is great and it's very, you know, it's bold and whatnot and in theory they should be really upset about that. When's the last time you saw like fhs, you know, graffiti?

Tim Pool (22:56)

I want to talk to you arin about this. I was debating grok AI as one does the other day, and it was the issue of Zoran Mamdani wants to close Rikers, release all the prisoners, and he says it's because Rikers is an affront to the city. It's terrible. He wants borough new police stations built. But let's be real, the utopian vision of what the left wants to do isn't actually what they're planning on doing. It's going to be, we're going to release a lot of these criminals. He said, crime is social construct. He says a lot of these people can have deferred programs. Will Chamberlain responded, trump should federalize New York and take over, put under federal management before they. Before that can happen. Wall Street MAV asked Grok if he could, and Grok said, no, Trump can't, which is stupid, because Trump can. And I then got into this debate with, with the AI, not because I'm like, ooh, I'm going to argue with AI. I wanted the AI to lay out the case of the corporate press mainstream narrative as to why Trump can't use the authority he legally can. And where we ended up was Grok was saying, you know, Trump doesn't have the authority to do it. My response is, Abraham Lincoln did. Grok says Abraham Lincoln was fate, was. Was fighting a legitimate civil war, which is fascinatingly stupid and incorrect. Abraham Lincoln, after Fort Sumter, suspended habeas corpus from Pennsylvania to D.C. along the rail corridor to protect Union troops from potential sabotage. He had members of the Maryland legislature arrested. This is April of 1861. It was. It was months before the first Battle of Bull Run. No one believed a civil war was possible. Nobody believed it was even happening. In fact, the first use of the term Civil war wasn't until 1863. So what would happen? So the way I look at it right now is we very well may be in a civil war if we're following the same context of 1861. That is Donald Trump is trying to enforce the law. He is sending troops from other states into these blue states. They are resisting saboteurs, are committing terror attacks against federal law enforcement. If Trump were to suspend habeas corpus, which has already been floated by Trump and Miller, it would be within perfect precedent of what presidents have done before. Do you. Do you think I'm missing the mark on this one? Or how do you see what's going on?

Auron McIntyre (25:12)

I mean, look, as a proud son of the South, I'm just glad that everyone's suddenly realizing that Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant.

Tate Brown (25:17)

I mean, that's all.

Auron McIntyre (25:18)

That's all I really asked. But, no, it is funny to Watch all these Democrats suddenly turn into John C. Calhoun. They recognize, oh states rights and limiting the federal government. Like look, you guys have been behind this the whole time, of course, very pro Lincoln reconstructing the South. But it's not just that. You know, we've had Eisenhower and JFK send troops into the south to enforce different ruling court rulings when it came to segregation, these things. We've deployed troops into American cities so many times over when you know, Pat Buchanan gave his speech about the culture war speech about the National Guard taking black, taking back L. A block by block. So the idea that this is wildly unprecedented is just completely incorrect. And the only answer is.

Jeff Bridges (25:55)

Morning Zoe. Got donuts.

Zoe (25:57)

Jeff Bridges, why are you still living above our garage?

Jeff Bridges (26:00)

Well, I dig the mattress and I want to be in a T mobile commercial like you teach me. So Bella.

Zoe (26:07)

Oh no, I'm not really prepared. I couldn't possibly at T Mobile get the new iPhone 17 Pro on them. It's designed to be the most powerful iPhone yet and has the ultimate pro camera system.

Jeff Bridges (26:18)

Wow, impressive. Let me try. T Mobile is the best place to get iPhone 17 Pro because they've got the best network.

Zoe (26:26)

Nice. Jeffrey, you heard them.

Tim Pool (26:28)

T Mobile is the best place to.

Tate Brown (26:29)

Get the new iPhone 17 Pro 17 Pro on us with eligible traded in any condition.

Jeff Bridges (26:35)

So what are we having for lunch?

Zoe (26:36)

Dude, my work here is done.

Republican party have the will to get this done? You know, would Trump be able to take those slings and arrows? I think overall when we look at what happened in D.C. the population was happy to be safer. I think the same would probably be true of New York. But the problem is that these people have their safety tied up with all the other voting that they do, they want the benefits. They have all these perceived, you know, carve outs that they think they're going to get by rejecting Republicans. And so they vote in people who are going to destroy their law and order to get all that other stuff.

Tim Pool (27:52)

Earlier today we were on the Culture War podcast debating Brian Shapiro, largely me debating him over these issues. And one point that I made because I think Austin was saying that we should have more, I don't think he said Balkanization, but people going into areas where they prefer the laws. And I said that's going to lead to civil war. Brian agreed. My point was you have the United States as a largely monoculture 30 years ago, and the Democrats and Republicans almost completely agreed on everything. They disagreed on the wedge issues. And so when you look at the Pew charts, you can see it's like two bell curves and they largely overlap. What ends up happening is that because of Democrat and Republican entrenchment in these areas where it's like R +30 or D +30, and it's actually, I would say it's more a Democrat phenomenon because Republicans don't control cities, they don't control large urban centers. This means conservative minded individuals are going to leave these cities. As the policies tend towards further to the left, which the conservatives don't like, it's exponentially increasing. So what happens now is In New York, 500,000 people left in 2020, largely conservative minded people who live in New York. That makes it substantially easier for the left to win in New York. There's no opposition anymore. No politician needs to pander to those conservative people. What ends up happening? The United States as a whole largely agreed there were red states and blue states, swing states and wedge issues. But now each state is hyperpolarized. So what happens is where Oregon, you used to have to argue to the conservatives and find the middle ground. With all conservatives leaving, Oregon is now liberal to far left and the government's going to end up in the staunch leftist position. Conservative states are now going to be moderate conservative to far right and find the staunch conservative position, meaning that each individual state will increasingly come further and further left or right. I actually don't think it's entirely true of the right because the right is much more morally founded and I think it's because of religious tradition. But the left is going to go further and further left because they're power and cult based. You're eventually going to come to a point where the red states will vote for a president like we are now The President's going to say no more. No more illegal immigration. And the blue states will have gone so far left that every person there and everyone in their government is going to say no to this law. I think that may be what's happening now. And I feel like it's an inevitable reality where the factions will be born, you will have civil war.

Auron McIntyre (30:16)

So we're actually going through a predictable cycle that we've been through before. Historically, we think of the United States as having this monoculture, but it really didn't for most of its history. That's why federalism worked so well. Right. We had these radically different people in these different states. They recognize themselves as Americans. They were distinct from other peoples, but the states were very important. That's why, for instance, somebody like Robert E. Lee, who was one of the most loyal Americans in the world, who was considered to be the, you know, the top commander, was going to be given control of the Union Army. That's why he went with Virginia. Not because he was disloyal to the United States, but he felt his loyalty to his home state more than he felt loyalty to the larger country. And then we see Lincoln come through. You have the Civil War. We have to kind of reunite again. And so you have construct reconstruction to try to force cultural homogeny back onto the South. Well, that goes for a while. We start to have our differences again. That builds up until World War II. And then after World War II, we have this grand unifying push under FDR. Communication, culture, education, they all get standardized. We get forced back into a monoculture, especially with the rise of radio and television, where now everyone can watch the same things and hear the same things and share the same experiences. But now we're coming back apart again. And so I don't think this is like some strange thing that we're experiencing, but it's just a cycle that we go through over and over again. And you're. They're going to have that strong unifying presidency that kind of brings the culture back together or things are going to keep breaking apart more and more.

Tim Pool (31:44)

Does this. I mean, the way you describe it, with these states having identities, it sounds kind of like that is that could prevent civil war.

Auron McIntyre (31:54)

Well, it can't. I mean. Well, it really depends on how much the central government demands that everyone conform to the same way of life. Right. The more that the central government demands that we have one unified culture, one unified understanding, the more likely that you're going to have states that have a strong individual identity push back. But if you Allow a good degree of autonomy, again how we did under federalism, then you're probably less likely to have a civil war in that scenario. The problem is that the temptation more and more, especially as we've invested more and more power in our centralized government, is to continue to fight, force that monoculture on two different states.

Tim Pool (32:29)

You think there's gonna be a civil war?

Auron McIntyre (32:30)

I think that we are playing with fire. I don't know that we're going to get a civil war. We've had, again, we've had situations where we deployed troops to the south and we didn't get a civil war out of it. But at the same time, I think we are further, in some ways apart than we are back than we were, say, in the 1950s.

Tim Pool (32:47)

You know, I've said this before that it really depends on what comes next. But should this become factionalized war, history will argue that the Civil War started sometime well before now.

Auron McIntyre (32:56)

Yep, that's right.

Tim Pool (32:57)

The Hill published an op ed saying that the assassination of Charlie Kirk might be our Fort Sumter moment. And so the difference with the 1861 versus the civil rights era versus now, there were catalysts. 1861, we had bleeding Kansas, John Brown's raid, and then you had Fort Sumter. The civil rights era didn't have any shot heard around the world battle moment or anything egregious. We actually have several points in the past year or so, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump that may have started then. I actually think the assassination of Charlie Kirk will likely be considered the Fort Sumter moment. And it's possible in 100 years. They say the second American Civil War started with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Much like we hear the story of Franz Ferdinand. Most people don't really know the full details of what happened. The story's actually pretty crazy. Was it the assassins? Couldn't they. They lost him.

Auron McIntyre (33:52)

And comedy of errors, they end up finding him like they walk out of a cafe shop after thinking the entire thing has failed and he's right outside. And that's the only reason they actually successful.

Tim Pool (34:00)

And then they start a world war.

Kellen (34:02)

My question is what could possibly. The trend, I think, is obvious. We always say there is no off ramp. The trend is political violence is becoming more common, more accepted. People are becoming unhinged. I don't see that slowing down. We're in a spiral. So what could. What kind of event or what would have to happen to prevent us from continuing down this path?

Tim Pool (34:21)

That's why I don't think it's possible. Right. So so we, we're hoping with a popular victory of Donald Trump, I was like, that's gonna send the message that we are the moral majority and we've won. Instead their response is, I don't care for the minority, we're gonna kill you. And so you end up with the people voted for Trump, for the Republicans. The Republicans have everything. They've got the majority in the House and the Senate, they've got it in the Supreme Court, they've got the executive branch. And now ICE is enforcing laws that have been on the books for decades. What are the Democrats doing? Fighting out double down, fighting war, terror. Democrats are obstructing in the administrative level, having their police target federal law enforcement. Their judges are trying to bar Donald Trump's authority from enacting his authority of the Constitution. And then you have the ground level leftists who are engaging in acts of terrorism and trying to murder cops or ram them with vehicles. There have been four rammings already and six instances where vehicles have been used as weapons.

Kellen (35:21)

I think there's more than that. There's a lot of stories that of agents getting boxed in, but there's no actual like assault or violence. So it doesn't get reported.

Tim Pool (35:29)

Right, right.

Kellen (35:30)

So I think it's happening way more, especially in Chicago.

Tim Pool (35:33)

When LA county declared a state of emergency over federal law enforcement, I was like, guys, this is the sign. A popular vote winner with every branch of government said we are going to enforce the law that's been, that have been on the books for decades. And in California they said it's an emergency, they're telling you they are at war with you. Now that doesn't mean there's gonna be a shootout. But based on that video we saw from, from earlier in the morning, Lord help us.

Auron McIntyre (35:57)

Well, you have this irony poisoning right again. The fact that this is a Marvel movie for everybody, this is fake for everybody. And that allows you to create creep way closer to the line than you would if you actually recognize the type of violence that you're entering into. And this really sets us up for a scenario where we could have just zombie walked into the Civil War without even recognizing it. Because you have so many people who are acting as if none of this is serious and none of it can be taken seriously. And that's part of of course the left's tactic again, putting people in these clown suits, putting them in these blow up suits, making sure that you throw all this funny stuff out there. You put that out front as if it's non threatening. It's not going to be a big issue. And then you don't realize that you've already crossed several red lines in the whole process.

Tim Pool (36:39)

Yep. That's why, as I mentioned, I was debating our friend Grok and it kept making these arguments as to why Trump can't use federal authority in these states, despite the fact precedent already shows us that Lincoln did. The argument is Lincoln had no authority under the Constitution to suspend habeas corpus. Only Congress can do it. But he did anyway. And then Congress retroactively approved it, creating the president. That a president can suspend habeas corpus and then seek approval after the fact, which is nuts. Based on the timeline. If we look at the Charlie Kirk assassination as a Fort Sumter moment, we are. It's only been a month, and the battle of Bull Run was, I think, three months after Sumter. Theoretically, we could be zombie walking towards the first. I've described it as just an example. Not like something that's gonna happen, but the first battle of Chicago. Because Chicago seems to be where the heat of everything is really taking place. If the gangs get into a shootout with federal law enforcement and leftist extremists, not caring why, decide to join and help them for some reason, we will have a moment that we may not actually describe as the first battle of Chicago, but historically they will. We'll just say a shootout erupted in Chicago a couple of years after the fact. We might say, here's what they're calling it. Just like they didn't say civil war for two years after Fort Sumter.

Kellen (37:53)

I mean, look at Covid. Yeah, look how long it took to be like, hey, this is like a pandemic now. Like, this is a global. Like, no one wanted to believe it at first. Like, you know, what's going on in China, they're building those emergency hospitals. It's not going to happen here. And then it was like two weeks, and we're like, oh, so no, that stuff about in China, all that news, that was like, the warning, like, you.

Auron McIntyre (38:12)

Know, well, this is why it was so important. And I kept pushing, like, right after Charlie was shot, like, we have to take drastic action now, like, right away. Because the thing that always allows things to escalate is not too much action, too much authority. It's a lack thereof. And whenever you hesitate, you're encouraging this. So by stepping in and taking small actions, you're actually making things worse. It's easier to do more than it is to do less. Incrementally. That's counterintuitive, but it's absolutely the case Especially when you have control of the executive. You need to take bold action, sweeping action. Put this down immediately and cut it off right at the source, rather than sitting around and playing footsie with it.

Tim Pool (38:50)

That's what they're doing. Yep, that's what I've been saying. Like, Trump needs to send in the troops now and put these, these jurisdictions under a federal management and declare an insurrection and an emergency, and Trump can come out and, you know, I don't know, but he's playing footsie. And maybe they're waiting for winter. I'm, I'm being optimistic when I say that. Really, I don't know. One of the arguments is that there won't be riots if it gets cold out. And so the Fed is waiting a few months for the temperature to drop. So then places like Chicago, particularly in Portland a little bit, but Chicago more so when they take action, the left will not react. New York and Chicago are principal targets. Louisiana is always going to be nice out. So that's hard to deal with, but now is the time to do it. And I think you're right. If the federal government allows this insurrection and this sedition, it will embolden and keep growing. If Trump moves in now and people are like, okay, okay, okay, we're gonna stop. The fact that Trump is taking it slow is allowing the left to organize and develop, once again, parallel economics. And that's when they finally say, we can fight you.

Tate Brown (39:53)

Yeah, well, I mean, that's why this entire crackdown that we've been pushing for has never really been about punishment. I mean, to a certain degree, for some people, I suppose, is a form of vengeance. But the primary objective, like you're saying, is incapacitation. We're trying to incapacitate the enemy. Same thing like when a child is bashing his toy truck on a glass table. You know, when you take him away and take his toy away, you're not punishing him, you're just trying to get him to not break the table. And that's. That is, you know, the mandate for the federal government in this instance is like, hey, they're about to break this table. Pull them away enough, and you got to incapacitate.

Tim Pool (40:24)

Let's jump to the story from Newsweek. Steve Bannon says, quote, there's a plan for Trump 2028. What is that plan? Trump Jr. 2028. Because I'm not. I'm not buying it. But this is what Bannon is saying, quote, he's going to get a third term. So Trump is going to be president in 2028. And people just ought to get accommodated with that at the appropriate time. We'll lay out what the plan is, but there's a plan. We had longer odds in 16 and 20, longer odds in 24 than we've gotten. 28. They say that Trump is not eligible for another term. Under the 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution, Presidents are limited to two elected terms. Now you see the mistake they just made and, you know, we can try. Let me, let me pull up the 22nd Amendment. Try and guess what the play may be. But we got it right here, and I'll throw it in. Section 1, 22nd Amendment. No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice. And no person who has held the office of President or acted as President for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. Can anybody in the room answer for me what the key word is that they will try to utilize to get Trump a third term?

Auron McIntyre (41:29)

I believe it may be elected.

Tim Pool (41:31)

Correct. If Trump is placed by a judicial appointment into the office of the presidency due to some unforeseen circumstance, it will not be in violation of the 22nd Amendment.

Kellen (41:43)

Maybe that's the delay for all this action you we were just talking about in the last segment is, hey, this is the year one of Trump's second term. So if there's plays like that in the background, they may need to wait for all this action. I mean, if create a faux crisis and then say, hey, Trump's. He's back again.

Tim Pool (42:01)

But do we really think AI agents.

Rubrik Announcer (42:05)

Are everywhere, automating tasks and making decisions at machine speed. But agents make mistakes. Just one rogue agent can do big damage before you even notice. Rubrik Agent Cloud is the only platform that helps you monitor agents, set guardrails and rewind mistakes so you can unleash agents, not risk. Accelerate your AI transformation@rubrik.com that's R U B R-I K dot com.

Tim Pool (42:33)

I don't know if that's Bannon's play. What do you think the play is going to be? Appointment.

Auron McIntyre (42:37)

I would really doubt that they would simply allow the situation to escalate just to set something like this up, set up that emergency. I mean, ultimately, I mean, if it's an amendment, you're just as likely be able to repeal it as anything else. You repealed Prohibition. You could repeal this, too, ultimately, but.

Tim Pool (42:55)

The words are relatively meaningless. It's an exercise of power. So the fact is, if Trump wants To be president. We understand the spirit is that he can't be, but it does say elected, so it sounds like if the elected route is the route they go. There's an emergency. Trump declares. Trump declares an emergency under presidential direct national security, Presidential Directive 51. Are you familiar? Not created by Bush, the president has the authority under executive orders to overwrite the US Government with an enduring constitutional government. It's called a single branch that controls everything and appoints a national continuity coordinator. The play may be an emergency. Here's. Here's. Here's the deal, man. There's a bunch of different plays that could happen. Trump invokes the Insurrection act, says we are in an active civil war. And for that reason, Trump doesn't get elected at all. He stays president because there's no election in a time of war. Now, even the U.S. the union had an election during the Civil War, but there's a bunch of plays Trump could make in terms of emergencies that avoid elected presidents.

Tate Brown (43:56)

I'm wondering if, like, Bannon actually consulted the Trump administration on this. Cause, I mean, like, I don't know if there's really an appetite because, you know, J.D. vance is, you know, a shoo in at this point, quite frankly, if things hold. And he would probably carry over most of the staffing, if not the overwhelming majority of the staffing. So, like, I mean, obviously, Trump would have to make the final decision here, but at least within the Trump administration, I assume they're like. The advanced term would just sort of be a continuation of Trump's policy. So why would this even be necessary?

Tim Pool (44:22)

You know, have you guys seen the meme? You can just do things.

Tate Brown (44:26)

True.

Tim Pool (44:26)

What is stopping me from taking this wolf box? Let me kind of detach this. There we go. This is a fan. What's gonna stop me from just chucking it as hard as I can at Tate?

Auron McIntyre (44:37)

Nothing.

Tim Pool (44:37)

Really?

Tate Brown (44:38)

Nothing?

Auron McIntyre (44:38)

Really?

Kellen (44:38)

Cameras.

Tim Pool (44:39)

Laws.

Tate Brown (44:40)

Laws, yeah.

Tim Pool (44:41)

Social decorum. Like, the reality is within the realm of physics. I could do it. But we know that man has written things down saying, do not do this. So there is a presumption that should I do something like that, well, Tate would probably tackle me, and then maybe we get into a fight or get. I don't know. I actually don't know what he would do if I whipped something at him like that.

Tate Brown (44:59)

Probably just cry.

Tim Pool (45:01)

The point is, there are reasons why we don't do these things. Because, one, I mean, we have empathy. We care about each other. We don't want to hurt each other. Some people don't. But we also fear the laws of man. But the reality is those laws won't actually stop a person from doing it. So we wrote down in the Constitution, Trump can't be president. The question is, is someone willing to exercise the power to just do what they want? And Bannon is saying, yes, we have. We don't care what's written down. If we choose, it doesn't apply to us. It doesn't.

Auron McIntyre (45:30)

Well, I'll now invoke he who shall not be named. Carl Schmidt, of course talked. I know, I know, I know. We're all woke here now. But, but he talked about the, you know, the sovereign is he who decides on the exception. His entire point in saying that is that any given Constitution is only an outline for how the system should be going. It can never define every instance that the system will run into. And by definition, anything that Constitution, Constitution didn't plan for has to be an exception to that system. And when you hit those exceptions, the only question is, who's in charge? Who's sovereign? And the sovereign is he who can decide. This is an exception. Lincoln says it's an exception. We got to take back the South. And so the Constitution doesn't matter anymore. Habeas corpus doesn't matter anymore. I can disrupt elections, I can throw journalists in jail because guess Supreme Court justices, it turns out that, you know, he was sovereign and he had the power to decide on the exception. And this is important to understand what a Constitution ultimately is. Constitutions don't stop anything, ever. It's some words written on paper. A Constitution is what the people collectively believe. And so if the people collectively believe that Trump can't have a third term, then he won't have a third term. But if the people no longer care, if they've lost, lost their faith in those kind of things, if that tradition no longer holds, then the words on paper don't stop anything. And we've seen the left, you know, really just base their entire movement on this idea that they can just say, I don't care what the constitutionally says, as long as the people aren't going to force it, it doesn't matter anymore.

Tim Pool (46:51)

What do you think would happen if it's the year 2020? It's 2026. It is three days before the election and 26 polling stations in swing districts are block are bombed by antifa aligned individuals. Like people with antifa are seen running from the scene. They blow them all up. What do you think would happen?

Auron McIntyre (47:12)

I mean, yeah, again, sadly, I don't think this is exactly outside of the realm of possibility. And in that case, yeah, there's, there's zero doubt that Trump would have to step in and use military force to return order. There's, there's simply no other people would demand it.

Tim Pool (47:24)

Trump decides now, now, now, let's try this.

Auron McIntyre (47:26)

And they should, by the way.

Tim Pool (47:27)

And they, what would Happen if in 2028, Donald Trump in office, not running for office. J.D. vance is running and Trump is praising him and saying, hey, you know, he's fantastic and the polls are doing really well. And then early voting begins in these areas. There is questions about whether or not these, these, these places, like maybe Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, they're leaning red. And then we get several dozen bombings at polling stations in areas that are Republican leaning. In these states where you need those votes, they're decimated, the ballots are destroyed. Maybe 10,000 in each location, a thousand in each location. Antifa culprits are caught on camera. One guy gets arrested. He's a known far leftist. What happens then?

Auron McIntyre (48:15)

Sounds like they're trying to insurrect.

Tim Pool (48:17)

Sounds like Trump would say, my fellow Americans in swing states, largely, which will determine which candidate is going to win. Republican voting districts were just bombed, several injured, several killed. We have arrested several people. We have provided evidence it was an attack by, by left extremists to stop the Republicans from being able to win. We can't. This election is now void. How can you then carry on the election knowing that key areas of swing states were bombed? There's a million one ways it could go down. But it's like you said, he who is sovereign is he who you know was.

Auron McIntyre (48:58)

It decides on the exception.

Tim Pool (49:00)

Exactly. Trump says how would it be fair to conclude this election knowing that far left radicals destroyed the votes of countless numbers of Republicans in states where they wanted their voice heard? If their voice is not heard, then the President is not chosen. He can then say, I firmly believe even with this attack, JD Vance would be the winner. But because of those attacks, we won't know. Therefore we will hold a new election and we will need another six months to prepare. This election will take place in August of next year, something like that. I think it's, I think it's far fetched to be honest. I'm just, I'm saying this because there are a million and one ways Trump may be president in 2028. We can hypothesize. And I agree with you when you said it's not out of the realm of possibility that leftists will bomb polling stations or something that affect or even Trucks carrying ballots.

Auron McIntyre (49:52)

Are you familiar with the phrase meme magic? We all know that, of course. So we say that as a joke, but actually it's very real, right? These things kind of will themselves into existence.

Tim Pool (50:02)

So.

Auron McIntyre (50:02)

So Trump is sitting there, and the left is saying, no kings, right? No king. We have to have this no king protest. And then all of Trump's supporters say, well, you know what? Maybe he is a king, right? We start putting about videos of him with a king, and it's all jokes and it's all fun, until suddenly the left starts treating him like, oh, well, no, we have to fight him like he's a king. And then the right says, oh, we have to defend him like he's a king. And actually, if he's the king, then he has the powers of a king. And before you recognize this, like, that hyperstition has taken place, right, Retroactively, you have moved yourself into a frame where whether it's true or not, whether anyone even wanted Trump as king or not, every site has acted as if he is king, and therefore he is. Right.

Tim Pool (50:44)

This is incorrect. He's God Emperor.

Tate Brown (50:47)

True. I'm gonna say I'm gonna start walking around like a no Caesar sign, see if I can start a movement. That'd be kind of nice. Oh, I would sure hate if Baron became the American Caesar. That would suck simper.

Auron McIntyre (50:57)

Tyrannos just walking around the DHS or.

Kellen (51:00)

A farm edits they've been putting out of ice and DHS agents just cracking down on the far left protests. And it's crazy because they got music and there's, you know, the flashing lights. It's an awesome edit, but people are cheering for this. Like, it's not just like, hey, yeah, cool. They're upholding the law. They're like, yes, more of this, you know, and so people are calling for. And that's what's so tragic to me about what the left has done in general, is now you've got people on the right that are just like, yeah, I don't care anymore. I just want to. I want my family to stay safe. I don't want to die. So, yeah, let's have troops in every major city.

Tate Brown (51:33)

Well, this energy is all across the west because, I mean, fundamentally, what's driven Trump to this point is that he's tapping into the frustrations of immigration, like, broadly speaking. And this has been all across the West. We've been, like, covering the Ireland riots and that sort of thing. And Ireland is a great example of what happens. We don't even have A right wing party to siphon that energy off of where in the United States we have the Trump administration that is fulfilling the mandate. But, yeah, you still gotta give them some red meat. You gotta give them the edits, you know, you gotta give them this, that and the other. But the left should really understand that Trump is what's keeping a lid on this. Like Ireland is what things could escalate into if it weren't for Trump sort of carrying out that mandate. And then like, on the flip side, I could very well see them, you know, bombing ballot boxes, these sorts of things. Because the reason we're seeing this leftist violence in the first place is because Trump is so effective, he has been winning. And they feel demoralized, they feel backed into a corner, and that's why they're lashing out, because they feel like that the right, A, has a monopoly on power at this stage, in many ways we do. But B, they just feel backed into a corner. They feel like their avenues to power are completely cut off. And so that's why they feel like they need to lash out.

Kellen (52:34)

And it's not just the terror attacks and the violence that we're seeing in the cities. Like, that definitely could be a cause for Trump 2028. But. So as we've been recording, the news broke that Hakeem Jeffries has endorsed Zoran Mamdani. So you basically have the Democrats as a whole now saying, yeah, this communist thing, we're on board with it. So Trump could just be like, hey, there is no Democrat Party anymore. It's communism. Their votes do not count. Like, we're not playing this. We're, we're, we fought communism. We're not going there.

Tim Pool (53:05)

I don't think you would, I don't think he would do that. Stephen Miller's too smart. I think if Trump wants to go this route, false flag attack, I'm not. You know, it's funny because people have asked me, like, you really think Trump would do a false flag? I'm like, I don't know, maybe not Trump, but certainly someone around him. Come on, we're talking about winning a war. And they tried to put this man in prison, they arrested his lawyers. Nothing's off the table. Winning is winning. And if you are, to be fair, I'll put it like this. Conservatives have continually showed themselves to be the samurai, the people who have tried to fight with honor. So that's why I really don't think we'll see a Trump administration false flag attack. But I also wouldn't put it past Anybody to do whatever it took to win. If the left doesn't engage in these acts of violence or terror and Trump really does want to be president for a third term, how hard would it be right now? They put out another bounty on the pipe bombers from J6. I think it's fairly obvious the pipe bombers were Democrat aligned individuals trying to malign Trump.

Kellen (54:07)

Do you see the new videos that they released?

Tim Pool (54:09)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe we should actually pull that one up.

Tate Brown (54:11)

Yeah.

Kellen (54:12)

And it's crazy. A lot of people are. All right, go ahead.

Tim Pool (54:14)

Let's pull the story from Zero Hedge. FBI. Really? Actually let me zoom out so we can see the actual story. FBI releases new surveillance video of January 6th pipe bomb suspect. The FBI on October 22nd released new surveillance footage showing footage that says it shows a person placing pipe bombs the night before January 6th. The video show actually, is this the video right here?

FBI Narrator (54:34)

On January 5, 2021, between 7:30 and 8:30pm an unidentified individual placed pipe bombs near the offices of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican national committee in Washington, D.C. the FBI and our partners are renewing our call for tips from the public to help us identify the suspect. A reward of up to $500,000 is available for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individual responsible for this attempted attack. If you have any information, please call the FBI at 1-800- call FBI. You can also submit tips online at tips.FBI.gov I don't know why.

Tim Pool (55:16)

Tape minutes Turf shoes, which are black.

FBI Narrator (55:18)

And gray with the yellow Nike logo. Fewer than 25,000 of these shoes were sold between August 2018 and January 2021. The first time the suspect is seen is at approximately 7:34pm at the intersection of First street and North Carolina Avenue Southeast.

Tim Pool (55:36)

Okay, I don't want to play the full thing, but the shoe thing is anybody here think the person was not a fed? No hands. I maybe not fed, but I firmly believe this was some kind of agent operative. This was not some random leftist terrorist or individual. Like this was coordinated intentionally, specifically pertaining to the January six riots. Guys, what is the probability that J6 was fomented intentionally to try and destroy Donald Trump? I think it's very likely.

Kellen (56:06)

It could have been a foreign power. I mean, that's why, like, because I see that stat where there's only 25,000 pairs of these shoes made. That's not a lot for America. That's not a lot of shoes. Now you narrow it down to who, who might have been in D.C. near J6, and there's all These other parameters, you can narrow that number down so there's probably less than 50 people that they think could be the guy. But the fact that they haven't gotten them five years later, they have no leads whatsoever. The now they're having to release all this additional footage because they're lost. Maybe it was a foreign actor who's fled the country the day after. I mean a lot of people always assume it's domestic that causes the internal strife in America but why not someone from Iran, Qatar, Israel, etc.

Tate Brown (56:49)

Well, that or I mean again, I don't want to completely lose sight of this. This very well could have been a leftist as seeking to foment some sort of, you know, civil, civil strife so they can impose their will. I mean we did see in J6 there was a lot of speculation there were like antifa aligned actors in the crowd that were trying to agitate, trying to rile people up like that is in their playbook to sort of bring forth civil strife so then they can do their thing so they can operate with more impunity. But I mean, yeah, I mean, I mean who knows? I mean the fact that they're having to throw the shoe size out shows that, you know, it's a bit grim. Any leads here?

Kellen (57:26)

But a lot of people online are saying, I mean I don't, I didn't get this from the video but the additional security camera footage, they say the person walking their gate would imply it's a woman. I, I, I don't, I don't get that sense. The shoe thing, definitely a male shoe.

Tim Pool (57:42)

Let's play some of this video.

Auron McIntyre (57:43)

See the gate.

Tim Pool (57:44)

I will, I will watch this and do a gait analysis.

FBI Narrator (57:50)

And then south on South Capitol street. This footage of the suspect on South Capitol street shows the person setting down their backpack which is believed to contain one of the bombs. At this time I'm going to say.

Tim Pool (58:06)

Woman and I'm going to tell you why. It's the bending over.

Tate Brown (58:10)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tim Pool (58:14)

Watch the bending over.

FBI Narrator (58:15)

This footage of the suspect on South Capitol street shows the person setting down their backpack which is believed to contain one.

Tim Pool (58:23)

Because women have lower center centers of gravity, it's much easier for them to control their, their legs as they're bending their torso up and down. Men would not that, that, that likely is not masculine in my, I don't know for sure but it's very effeminate movements. And seriously, watch the videos of women. They have a man and a woman stand against a wall and they'll tell the woman to Bend over and pick something up and the man to do it. Men can't because of their higher center of gravity. So when you notice the legs stay perfectly straight and don't move as the torso moves up and down. Very indicative of a woman of the.

Tate Brown (58:57)

Bottoms at this time.

Tim Pool (59:01)

Hard to know for sure though. I mean, narrow.

FBI Narrator (59:02)

Appears to put on a pair of glasses and scan the area. Standing on tiptoes.

Tim Pool (59:09)

Trans man.

Tate Brown (59:12)

Regardless, we should be looking for cars with curb rash. I think that'll help us.

Tim Pool (59:16)

There you go. That proved it.

FBI Narrator (59:18)

Before picking up the backpack, turning around and heading back the way they came.

Tate Brown (59:23)

South Capitol Street Very FBI True crime FBI stepped their game up.

FBI Narrator (59:28)

After reaching the corner of D Street street, the suspect turns around again and this time walks south. All the way down South Capitol street to a bench outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters building.

Tim Pool (59:45)

Hard to tell from this.

Auron McIntyre (59:47)

Not good quality.

Tim Pool (59:48)

Yeah.

Jeff Bridges (59:53)

Morning, Zoe. Got donuts.

Zoe (59:55)

Jeff Bridges, why are you still living above our garage?

Jeff Bridges (59:58)

Well, I dig the mattress and I want to be in a T mobile commercial like you teach me. So. Dana.

Zoe (60:05)

Oh no, I'm not really prepared. I couldn't possibly at T Mobile get the new iPhone 17 Pro on them. It's designed to be the most powerful iPhone yet and has the ultimate pro camera system.

Jeff Bridges (60:17)

Wow, impressive. Let me try. T mobile is the best place to get iPhone iPhone 17 Pro because they've got the best network.

Zoe (60:24)

Nice Jeffrey.

Tim Pool (60:25)

You heard them. T mobile is the best place to.

Tate Brown (60:28)

Get the new iPhone 17 Pro on us with eligible traded in any condition.

Jeff Bridges (60:33)

Tim Pool (61:28)

Low frame rate. Wonder who picked the music? This one sounds good.

Tate Brown (61:33)

Yeah.

FBI Narrator (61:36)

Here we see the suspect sit on the bench board a few minutes. They do not place the bomb at this time.

Kellen (61:41)

Man spreading.

Tim Pool (61:43)

Man spreading.

Tate Brown (61:46)

And men like to sit on benches and think that is true.

Tim Pool (61:50)

That is indicative of a man.

FBI Narrator (61:51)

The suspect then walks east on Ivy Street.

Tate Brown (61:56)

So we know it's either a man or woman.

Auron McIntyre (61:58)

Narrowed it down. Well, I was going to say they put the. The bag down really delicately, but I guess there's a bomb in it. So you brought two of them.

Tim Pool (62:04)

But it was. It was a. That was very similar to the training bombs they used. That's my understanding.

Tate Brown (62:11)

He was just a very zesty man, I think.

FBI Narrator (62:14)

Turns north on New Jersey Avenue and then pauses near the corner of D Street before retracing their steps back to the DNC bench where the first bomb is placed.

Tim Pool (62:28)

I just want to really stress though, because guys don't bend down like that.

Tate Brown (62:31)

Yeah, no, that's. No, that's 100.

Kellen (62:33)

And this looks. Does look a little bit more feminine. I don't know. It's tough.

Tim Pool (62:40)

I think it's a woman. The bending over for the bag is just. Guys don't do that. Guys typically don't have the flexibility to do that. I'm not. I'm not kidding. The, like how many guys can. Can stretch forward and touch their toes?

Kellen (62:55)

If you're saying though, this is a fed. A fed or some kind of, you know, deep state individual, wouldn't they. The assumption they're in shape. They're very physically fat. You don't think so. Someone that would. They would be sent for this kind of operation.

Auron McIntyre (63:09)

You don't have to be super.

Kellen (63:10)

You're not going to send a fat guy.

Tim Pool (63:12)

Let's just try this. Literally we're all dudes. Stand up and bend over perfectly. Standing straight up without. Without your legs moving to reach down and grab something off the ground.

Auron McIntyre (63:21)

I'll do it.

Tate Brown (63:22)

The audience is going to get the wide.

Kellen (63:23)

Cam.

Tim Pool (63:24)

Get the wide. This proves everything. Now you're bending your knees, picking it up to place.

Auron McIntyre (63:28)

You know, let's see.

Tim Pool (63:29)

Don't bend your knees. Reach down without bending your knees. Oh, my hamstrings. So the point is this. You could do it, but you wouldn't because it's not comfortable. You'd bend your knees.

Tate Brown (63:38)

I probably go.

Kellen (63:39)

I see.

Auron McIntyre (63:39)

Yeah, I probably squat.

Tim Pool (63:41)

So.

Auron McIntyre (63:41)

But.

Tim Pool (63:41)

But more importantly, this individual went up and down. Went. Went down, up and then down more without the legs moving. And they were together. Very feminine.

Kellen (63:50)

Right.

Tate Brown (63:50)

Really sticking their dairy air out as well.

Tim Pool (63:52)

Right.

Auron McIntyre (63:55)

Oh, my hamster.

Tim Pool (63:56)

So I, I guess this lesbian then maybe.

Tate Brown (63:59)

Here we see the Suspect place Subaru spotted nearby.

Auron McIntyre (64:02)

Newly mentioned.

Tate Brown (64:04)

Is anybody getting a boy haircut recently?

Kellen (64:06)

Basketball shoes though.

Tate Brown (64:07)

Basketball. That's very lesbian. That is very lesbian.

Tim Pool (64:09)

I'm placed.

Auron McIntyre (64:09)

There you go.

Tim Pool (64:10)

This is wild. They did a lot of work.

Tate Brown (64:11)

WNBA paraphernalia found nearby.

FBI Narrator (64:13)

From there, the person walks north on South Capitol Street.

Kellen (64:18)

Swing in the bag.

Tate Brown (64:19)

Really in the bag. Really having fun.

Kellen (64:26)

Be curious at how fast this person was actually walking. Looks like they're hustling.

FBI Narrator (64:34)

East on D Street, south on New Jersey Avenue.

Tim Pool (64:40)

Remember when the. The wife. Okay, so Ilhan Omar is dating this guy who's married. And then some air train guy just randomly kills someone who looks just like his wife in the same neighborhood where his wife lives. And everyone, you know, everyone's got them to see here they were like, maybe the air train guy was supposed to kill his wife but killed the wrong person instead. Oh yeah, it was a red haired woman walking a dog got murdered randomly for no reason. And then you find out that this dude that Helen Omar's with is married to the same a redheaded woman in the neighborhood who walked a dog. And it's like, did somebody tell that air train guy to kill her and then he killed the wrong one? Well, yeah.

FBI Narrator (65:17)

Northeast on North Carolina Avenue when we lose video coverage of the suspect at approximately 8:00pm Eight minutes later, at about 8:08pm we pick the suspect back up on camera heading north on Second Street.

Tim Pool (65:34)

Weird.

FBI Narrator (65:35)

The suspect walks west on C Street, enters an alley that leads to Rumsey Court, and then walks on Rumsey Court.

Tim Pool (65:44)

That's a woman.

Kellen (65:48)

A little bit of straight.

Auron McIntyre (65:49)

Look how the feeder walk.

Tim Pool (65:50)

I'm saying it's a woman.

Auron McIntyre (65:51)

How they go in front of each other in the hips. Yeah, it's like a strut kind of.

FBI Narrator (65:57)

This footage shows the suspect passed between the RNC and the Capitol Hill Club, holding the backpack out.

Tim Pool (66:03)

Maybe trans men. I'm not kidding. Maybe trans man.

FBI Narrator (66:05)

The person continues between the RNC and the Capitol Hill Club, then continues north on first street, east on C Street.

Tim Pool (66:17)

The hell?

Kellen (66:18)

Case in the joint.

FBI Narrator (66:20)

Back into the alley, making sure not to go around and back onto Rumsey Court.

Tate Brown (66:25)

He seems really familiar with the rnc. So he might be gay.

Tim Pool (66:28)

He might be gay.

Auron McIntyre (66:31)

Disgruntled staffer.

Tim Pool (66:32)

Yeah.

FBI Narrator (66:35)

They place the second pipe bomb at approximately 8:16pm the suspect then turns back onto Rumsey Court, walking east until the person is last seen on camera at approximately 8:18pm wearing the backpack on their shoulders. The bomb is believed to have been placed shortly before this video based on how the suspect is carrying the backpack. We still believe there is someone out there who has information they may not have realized was significant until now. We are asking you to come forward to share that information with the FBI. Please call the FBI.

Kellen (67:14)

All right, so Tim, could you rewind real quick to the graphic when it shows when they placed the first bomb at the dnc? I'm curious to the timestamp on there compared to when he placed the RNC bomb. And then I want to see that distance. How much time it took for him to cover that distance?

Tim Pool (67:30)

I think it was like what, 20 something minutes?

Auron McIntyre (67:31)

It was all within like a half hour or something like that.

Kellen (67:33)

Because it was.

Tim Pool (67:34)

Yeah, it's, it's. You can't bounce around it. Videos like that.

Kellen (67:37)

Yeah.

Tim Pool (67:39)

So. But they have it written down. 7:34 and 8:15 is what's happening. Device at the DNC was 754. RNC was 8:16.

Kellen (67:50)

Okay.

Tate Brown (67:51)

It's really not that late at night to be.

Tim Pool (67:53)

It's not. That's, that's, that's, that's just the evening.

Auron McIntyre (67:56)

Right.

Kellen (67:56)

It was what? The RNC and DNC is about six blocks from each other. Yeah, yeah. 20 minutes.

Auron McIntyre (68:01)

Ish.

Tim Pool (68:02)

Bombs that look very similar to the bombs they use in training exercises.

Kellen (68:07)

Were they fake?

Tim Pool (68:08)

Yes.

Kellen (68:08)

I thought they. I thought they were real. They just didn't go off.

Tim Pool (68:10)

I thought they were fake.

Tate Brown (68:11)

Weren't they? I don't think the FBI said.

Kellen (68:15)

Or maybe. Yeah, maybe they not have said. Either way.

Tim Pool (68:19)

Yeah. They just say pipe bombs. Okay. No viable explosive devices.

Kellen (68:22)

Wow.

Tim Pool (68:23)

Okay, so the devices were diffused. Okay. I was wrong. Wow.

Kellen (68:26)

And if this was an operation of a deep state or, you know, CIA of some sort, this is the perfect suspect. You can't see their face. They're fully clothed, gloved mask. And we don't know if it's a man or woman. We're debating it.

Tim Pool (68:37)

Right.

Kellen (68:38)

Like, this is the perfect subject for this.

Tim Pool (68:39)

Where were, where were you at Tate on 20 20, 21 at 7:54pm?

Tate Brown (68:46)

You need to talk to a lawyer.

Kellen (68:46)

Like your bar mitzvah. Right.

Tim Pool (68:49)

I was.

Tate Brown (68:49)

There was a wall involved. I was kissing it. You know, whole thing. Yeah.

Kellen (68:54)

Wow.

Tim Pool (68:55)

Yeah, I think, I think it's very. Obviously this is, this is. Maybe it's not Fed, but it's some kind of operation.

Tate Brown (69:01)

Yeah.

Kellen (69:02)

I still, like, I think people in America are so quick to just say, assume this is a leftist or, or false flag, just domestic. Whatever. Whatever angle you choose. But I like at the height of when this was going on and you realized Trump was contesting the election, the Russia claims weren't debunked. People still thought he's a Russian asset. Who knows if, like I lean towards foreign asset, foreign government of some sort.

Tate Brown (69:25)

To be fair, in the lead up to January 6th, it was still like a very well known quantity. There was a lot of Democrat politicians, Leftist media were complaining about the march in general. They were saying, oh, this is like ridiculous is over the top. So like, I think among the leftist activist base, they were aware that, you know, there was going to be a ton of patriots in D.C. on one day.

Kellen (69:43)

Because why would you target both?

Auron McIntyre (69:44)

That's what I was going to say. The fact that both of these locations were targeted, it's. It's either there to completely throw you off, you would need like one bomb to be real and one to be fake, or it's very clear that ultimately this is meant to sow confusion. Right, right. If you had a specific political target, you wouldn't distribute the bombs equally across both parties. That would make any sense.

Tim Pool (70:04)

Yeah.

Kellen (70:04)

Because I feel like a lot of the news, I mean, this is an old story and we're kind of talking about for the first time in a while, but when the story was big, it was all kind of attributed to, see, look how violent J6 was. There was pipe bombs and a riot.

Tim Pool (70:16)

How did AOC know? How did AOC know in advance that Trump supporters would storm the building? You know the story, right? A few. This is like a month after January6. AOC told the story. I think it was a month, might have been a couple of weeks. So told the story where she said she was in her office and she.

Auron McIntyre (70:33)

Oh, wait, I did know the story.

Tim Pool (70:34)

Banging on her door and she went and hide in the bathroom thinking the rioters have found me. And the guy went, where is she? Where is she? And she thought she was going to die. And then it turns out it was actually the officer evacuating people because of the pipe bombs. At that point in time in her story, no one had breached the Capitol grounds. Even when she was telling that story about the time when they bought launch, what time it was when this happened. You can track when the evacuations happened and when the actual storming of the Capitol happened, it was an hour later. What made her think rioters would have gotten into the Capitol complex and gone to the tunnels to her office. It's possible she's just making a fake story up.

Kellen (71:17)

I lean towards that.

Tim Pool (71:19)

I'm not gonna give her the benefit. Benefit of the doubt. No, she said they were gonna kill me. Okay, how'd you know, they were gonna get in the building.

Auron McIntyre (71:27)

I think they all needed to build up that terror rate. Like, that's the whole point. And I think that's why a lot of people are very suspicious about the number of FBI agents in the crowd during this whole thing.

Tim Pool (71:36)

What is up to 300, right?

Auron McIntyre (71:37)

Yeah. Plus, not even to mention the number of informants on top of that. Like, you have so many people there. And I'm sure that there were people who wanted to enter the Capitol at some level. There were people who were getting out of hand at some level. But if you're a highly corrupt FBI that's obviously been pushing Joe Biden's, you know, agenda on the right the entire time. If you've been identifying the right as the most dangerous terror threat, the most dangerous domestic terror threat, if you've been fed all this stuff, it's probably not too hard for the, you know, agents involved to be like, well, may maybe if we encourage a few people to go in, they want to do it anyway, right. We're just moving it along. It's just a little bit of entrapment. It's not a problem. And then the whole thing kind of spirals. So I think it's one of those scenarios where, you know, everything is already lit and all they had to do was drop the match into the tender and they were like, yeah, I think we're okay.

Kellen (72:21)

Also curious to what comes out of this. You know, Cash just said, hey, we're on the verge of unmasking the structure behind Antifa. And I think it was Andy. No, I could get that wrong, but someone has been doing work exposing people at J6 dressed up as Maga and they're known Antifa members.

Tim Pool (72:36)

Right.

Kellen (72:37)

So I think it's Andy no that's been doing this work. So now I'm curious when what these FBI is going to find and if there's any connection between these NGOs, Antifa and, and what happened in the lead up to J6.

Tim Pool (72:48)

There are videos of people like getting dressed like they're by a bunch of trees and people like, what are you guys doing? And it looks like it looks like feds. Not to mention there are several people who are seen coming out of violence, who are never tracked down by insurrection hunters or the police.

Auron McIntyre (73:04)

You know, one of the things that people don't really put together, they complained about Trump, you know, getting this giant budget for ICE and building this huge force is getting a military style budget. And a lot of people complain, oh, you don't need that. You know, we had Rand Paul and, and Thomas Massey and these guys saying don't do they don't think about the fact that if the FBI is truly compromised, like if it's really truly compromised beyond any hope, what would you do?

Tate Brown (73:26)

Right.

Auron McIntyre (73:27)

Would you, would you build up your own force, your own domestic law enforcement force from the bottom up with military style budget where you get to hire the vast majority of the people and ensure that they're loyal to you. Like people just don't do that math. But we know the FBI has been desperately corrupt for an extremely long time. It's probably not going to investigate itself and figure it all out.

Tate Brown (73:45)

Yeah, it takes, it takes. And I understand the frustration from people, obviously, especially because within the conservative movement we've been antagonized by the intelligence sphere for so long. But yeah, the unfortunate thing is it does take quite a bit of time to reorient the FBI away from prosecuting and persecuting right wingers. Like that's been their specialty for the last, their entire.

Auron McIntyre (74:06)

That's what everyone in the organization has been hired for, for that purpose. Right. Even Christopher Wray, who is appointed by Trump, goes out and says right wing domestic terror, the most dangerous thing in the United States. Right. Like that has been the governing doctrine of that organization for decades. It doesn't just go away because Kash Patel shows up and fires a few guys.

Tate Brown (74:23)

Yeah. You don't just like put up a LinkedIn listing for FBI agent, FBI official. Like it takes a while to like churn the staff, but it turns out.

Auron McIntyre (74:30)

You can do that when you're scaling isa.

Tate Brown (74:33)

That's true. And it's very based. Well, even Isaac has some pretty high standards, but obviously you're building it up. So that's different than churning a force. And this is happening all across the administration. There's a lot of frustration, a lot of like, what's taking so long? This, that and the other. And yeah, it's really important to put in perspective a, you know, what a typical Republican administration looked like. I think we forget where we were before this. But then B, how long it takes to reorient these, you know, how long it takes to reorient these agencies. I mean, it takes a very, very long time because there's so much entrenched staff, there's so much deep state. Thankfully, this government shutdown has obviously given the Trump admin some breathing room now where they can start telling people like, yeah, you don't need to come back to work, that sort of thing. But yeah, like you're Saying, I mean, these things take time. It's unfortunate because, yeah, we wanna move quick, obviously, especially seeing people get killed. It's not like you can just snap your fingers. There's not a button on Trump's desk that says make the left go away. Unfortunately, it's just not how it works. Unless, I don't know, maybe Stephen Miller has a plan. I don't know, maybe there is a button somewhere, but you're fired. But as far as I know, there's only a Diet Coke button. He doesn't have the fix everything magically button.

Kellen (75:41)

We need one of those.

Tim Pool (75:42)

That was the annoying thing in the culture war where Brian Shapiro was arguing, Trump's been complaining about health care for nine years and hasn't fixed it. And I'm like, okay, like, what's the argument that he's been complaining he hasn't fixed it. And I'm like, I complain a lot of, about a lot of things I can't fix too. Like, I don't understand why you're pretending to be upset by this. Trump doesn't have a magic button to solve every problem. He's a guy like, we have to be happy with what he gets done and ask him to try harder on things that he's not getting done.

Kellen (76:06)

It's a weird thing to get hung up on.

Tate Brown (76:08)

It's ultimately like the purpose. If you are a right winger, if you are right of center and you want to win, your purpose is to move the football down the field in whatever capacity you're in. And not every play is going to be a Hail Mary. Not every play is even going to be like a, you know, long 50 yard completion. Sometimes it's like a little three yard run up the middle. Like that's how these things work. But you have to consistently move the football down the field. And when you look at the Trump administration, he is continually pushing the football.

Tim Pool (76:33)

Thinking, who is that guy who ran 60 yards in the wrong. Wrong direction?

Kellen (76:36)

Oh, that's happened a few times.

Tate Brown (76:39)

Put him in concussion protocol.

Kellen (76:40)

Happens in college football.

Auron McIntyre (76:41)

Punter when the punter missed.

Kellen (76:43)

Steelers had a bad.

Tate Brown (76:44)

A lot of Republicans that do shoes.

Tim Pool (76:45)

That's, that's my point.

Tate Brown (76:46)

Yeah, yeah. So I think that.

Tim Pool (76:48)

And you're like, hold on a minute, maybe they're doing that on purpose.

Tate Brown (76:50)

Right.

Kellen (76:51)

That's a new line of thinking though. Because like, I remember like the first, like big election that I was aware of, aware of was Mitt Romney and Obama and Mitt Romney's that the conservatives then it's night and day compared to the conservative movement now, like, now they're like, hey, no, we don't want to just stop Democrats. We want to actually push our own agenda and get our own things done.

Tate Brown (77:13)

I mean, you've been around the conservative movement for a really long time. Tim has as well. Like, from my perspective, it seems like Trump was the first time that people were voting Republicans, right. Of Senate. People were voting for a candidate when pretty much every election prior to that, people were just saying, keep him out of office. Fine, I'll plug my nose and vote for this guy. Like, Mitt Romney was just an anti Obama vote.

Tim Pool (77:30)

I voted for Trump as a largely, keep him out, keep Biden out of office. Second time around, it was relatively similar, but Trump has, has proven himself.

Tate Brown (77:39)

The conservative base seems to be like, I'm voting for Trump.

Tim Pool (77:42)

Indeed. Correct.

Auron McIntyre (77:43)

That's because Trump was a middle finger to the Republican Party too. Right? Like, like, like Trump is, was just as destructive to what the Republican Party was as he was to the idea of leftist dominance as well, which is why so many people hated him. And they still hate him, by the way. Like, the vast majority of these people who, you know, a lot of them went never Trump and they did the Bill Kristol Bulwark thing. But there are plenty of people who were never Trump who came back to the conservative movement and suddenly discovered a respect for Donald Trump until they could vote for Ron DeSantis. And all of a sudden you had to vote for Ron DeSantis or you were a traitor to the country and you hated whatever. And then Ron DeSantis lost. So they kind of had to go back to Trump again. And now they're trying to police all the people who are actually loyal to Trump right back out of the movement. Right. So the Republican Party is still fighting Trump at like every stage. And so really, Trump is not just defeating the left, he is also defeating what was conservatism as well, because it's not fit for purpose. It does not conserve anything. We've all recognized that at this point still.

Kellen (78:40)

Do you think that's still happening, though? Definitely in like 2022, 2023, when DeSantis announced his, you know, candidacy. There's definitely a lot of pushback from like rhinos and the Nikki Haley's and stuff. But I think everyone's kind of fallen in line at this point on the right.

Auron McIntyre (78:57)

I disagree. I think that there are a lot of people who are playing Trump fans so they can guide the Trump.

Auron McIntyre (79:36)

So how do I define MAGA? Right. If you're not familiar, this is how neoconservatives entered into the Republican Party, Right? Like, this is the Buckleyite purge of the right. This is the. You know, we have had a situation over and over again where the establishment sees the new wheel turning and they take control by coming in and saying, well, actually, we get to decide what that looks like. Even though we were against you 10 minutes ago, now we're on your team, and since we're so smart and elevated and everything, maybe we get to dictate where we're going. Right. And so that I think we're seeing a lot more of that. They'll not come out and say directly, I'm against Trump.

Tate Brown (80:08)

Right.

Auron McIntyre (80:09)

But they are against everybody who supported Trump. The whole time, they were against basically.

Kellen (80:12)

Just Massie and Rand Paul.

Tate Brown (80:13)

And that's. Well, that seemed to be the real sort of a side consequence of the DeSantis candidacy was it made it clear to Trump who was still loyal to him at that time. Like, it was like Trump was bleeding allies. I mean, Charlie Kirk was one of the only guys in the space that was like, no, we're sticking. He's the guy. I mean, Trump was bleeding allies everywhere. And I think that for him was actually a moment that was helpful, that was beneficial to him, was it weeded out a lot of people that coded MAGA, but were ready to flip at the soonest opportunity, you know, the quickest off ramp. So.

Auron McIntyre (80:47)

Yeah, it's.

Tate Brown (80:48)

Camera still on me?

Auron McIntyre (80:49)

Yeah, it is.

Kellen (80:49)

We're waiting for you to finish.

Tate Brown (80:50)

Your point's been made. I'm loyal to Trump till the very end. I'm a Trump loyalist American Caesar, let's.

Tim Pool (80:57)

Talk about what happens if we lose. We have this from the post millennial. 70% of Democrats support amnesty for illegal immigrants. According to Rasmussen, 47% of voters said that Trump's immigration policies have been too harsh. 32% said they were just right. 70% said not harsh enough. 70% of Democrats support legislation toward amnesty to illegal immigrants who are in the United States, according to this poll. So if Democrats get power, we know exactly what they're going to do for what, the fourth time now they're going to let a large block of non citizens become citizens? And I don't know, what is this Rome?

Auron McIntyre (81:30)

I mean, I've, I'm 41 now and I cannot remember a single election during my adult lifetime that was considered legitimate. Like starting with Bush and Gore and then you had Obama and the birth certificate and then you had all the questions of Russiagate and everything with Trump and then it was the election with Biden and all the counts there. Nobody has accepted truly an election as legitimate. The whole time I've been able to vote as an adult and we're all still standing around like, that's not going to have a cost eventually, right? So now we were done, like making arguments. The Democrats are just going to import new voters or if they can't win that way, they're just going to do violence. But the idea that like they're just going to say, oh, well, I guess the Republicans, they just won that election and now that's just the way things are. That is never happening again. It hasn't happened the whole time I've been around.

Tim Pool (82:21)

I will be in prison, we'll be in the Gulag.

Kellen (82:25)

That's what worries me about this, the Zoran stuff. Dude, if the, if the Democrat Party is positioning themselves in support of Zoran and his policies and they win the midterms, that's frightening.

Tate Brown (82:35)

Yeah, well, and terrifying. And the thing about Zoron that's so disturbing is he's importing like a third world form of authoritarianism that's kind of foreign. Like the Democrats, yes, they have demonstrated they have this proclivity, but it's not the Third World style, where the third world style is legitimately just killing your political enemies, throwing them in jail, et cetera, et cetera. And yeah, the Democrats have flirted with that. But Zoron importing that style of vaguely left wing politics is really disturbing because that for them is not even really about pushing any policy down the field. It's literally just about vengeance, retribution. This is what you saw in Uganda. I mean, IDI Amin, like, can anybody name a single policy of this? I don't know, but all I know is he was persecuting his political enemies. It's a form of vengeance that is particular to that part of the world. And then you're gonna bring that voter base in to support. You're gonna bring that voter base in from the third world that will continue to advocate for these policies. Don't believe me? Look at Minneapolis, look at Ilhan Omar, all she's doing is just everyone's like, how is it that she's a Muslim but supports lgbt? It's cause, like, that's not the point. The point is just like retribution and vengeance destroy America.

Tim Pool (83:38)

So it's also divide and conquer. It is, we want a Somali Muslim community where we live, and we need to weaken their machine to empower ours.

Auron McIntyre (83:47)

It's amazing how gullible conservatives are. If you just throw some kind of ideological gobbledygook at them, they'll just debate that forever rather than notice the obvious. Like, no foreign hordes are importing their own people to take over your stuff. And, like, you could try, you know, track this back to thousands of years in B.C. and it wouldn't matter. It's the same strategy. Nothing has changed about human nature. The fact that you have some abstract ideology where you think that as soon as someone walks into America, they randomly become George Washington. Like, sorry, but that's not actually how it works. But conservatives will just debate this endlessly rather than recognize the obvious.

Tim Pool (84:20)

What if we created some kind of viral gene manipulation where when they. When they walked in, we spray them and then they actually turn into George Washington?

Auron McIntyre (84:28)

Yeah, they. Their IQ goes up 20 points, they gain all of the.

Tim Pool (84:31)

Just go.

Jeff Bridges (84:32)

I don't.

Tim Pool (84:32)

I don't get it.

Tate Brown (84:33)

We gave them the pocketbook constitutions and they still want to eat me. Like, what is it?

Tim Pool (84:36)

No, I. I think you're all wrong. Because clearly, as everybody knows, once we delivered the American constitutional system to Liberia, they became a developed, heavily civilized nation. And it's a. It's.

Auron McIntyre (84:47)

They just launched their space station. It's going great. It's great.

Tate Brown (84:49)

Oh, yeah, it's like one of those air hogs. You just.

Tim Pool (84:51)

I mean, they still eat each other, you know, there's a lot of cannibalism there, but get hungry, you know, Space station was a drawing from a tourist who was there, not actually the country.

Auron McIntyre (85:00)

Of Liberia in crayon.

Tim Pool (85:01)

You know, Liberia is a really great example of this. Multiculturalism is fake. We go to this place, we establish a colony, we say, here's how the government works. And they're like, so we eat each other? And we're like, no, you vote, but I want to eat him. And then it's like, we come back to check on them, and we're like, how's the government going? And they're just like, it was delicious.

Auron McIntyre (85:22)

The government was.

Tate Brown (85:23)

Barbecue's in charge now. I don't know what to tell you.

Tim Pool (85:25)

No. What was the guy's name? What was the actual guy's name. Butt Naked. General Butt Naked.

Auron McIntyre (85:30)

General Butt Naked. Yeah. Barbecue is Haiti.

Tate Brown (85:32)

Right? Right. Like it's.

Auron McIntyre (85:33)

They're eating people.

Tate Brown (85:34)

They're losing track of all the cannibals.

Auron McIntyre (85:36)

Wherever you're eating people.

Tate Brown (85:36)

Isn't he still doing that?

Tim Pool (85:38)

I'm confused by this. Could you explain to us why giving an American constitutional system to people in Liberia did not create a utopia?

Auron McIntyre (85:44)

Sure. So constitutions are not just written documents. Constitutions are literally what, what it sounds like they are the way that the people are constituted. And so when we write down things on a piece of paper, we're just capturing what we were in that moment. So the reason that the American founding document is so beautiful is not just that the words on paper are great though. They are. It's that the people who wrote them down were capturing the way they lived their lives and actually showing us this is who we are as a people. If you replace the people, you replace the, the Constitution. It doesn't matter if you still have a written document. The document is not enough. So like South Africa has one of the most amazing constitutions ever. In a lot of people's mind. It promises housing and all these amazing things. And guess what? South Africa sucks. And it's because the Constitution itself cannot mediate what's happening there. The document can only work if it's a shared agreement about your traditions, your heritage, your religious beliefs, your values. And the minute you treat that legal document is like the actual, actual structure of your government, you've completely failed to understand what holds your country together. And this is why it matters what the people believe and the quality of the people, which is what the founders actually told us. That was what John Adams said. We need a moral and religious people. The country is not going to work. The Constitution is not going to work. It's not because he thought the Constitution was bad or failed or couldn't do the job. It's that he knew constitutions were only a reflection of their people. And so if you hand a constitution foreign to Liberia to Liberia, they will act like Liberians and not whatever the Constitution says.

Tate Brown (87:14)

Yeah, like they were, they were so obviously like pretty exclusive about who they viewed as an American. I mean like Thomas Jefferson bought a Quran and everyone points to this, are like, see, who's this open minded guy? He like went to war with Libya like right after he read, he's like, what? Okay, let's go and find a country over there, just invade him. Like the founding fathers are like very clear of who they, you know, because this is one of the last questions Charlie Kirk sort of posed to the conservative movement was like, what is an American? And like that's a really vital question that's screaming out for an answer.

Auron McIntyre (87:41)

Well, and you know, John Jay actually told us in Federalist number two, which is so weird because like, we have this whole like, body of what the founders actually thought and we all just kind of ignore it when we debate the Founders values. He said it's one nation and one people descended from the same people, speaking the same language, sharing the same religion. Like he wasn't. It wasn't coy about what a nation was. Yeah, like he was very explicit.

Tate Brown (88:05)

You made this point, I think it was on Tucker, where you were saying like that Anglo Protestant sort of ethos that captured the founders sort of the way that they viewed the world, their culture was what their religion, et cetera, et cetera. The closer you get to that, the closer you will get to the Constitution just kind of being natural and flowing. And the further away you get from that, the more it's going to be a little bit convoluted. And then, yeah, you look at Minneapolis and it's like they just view the Constitution as restrictive and irritable and an imposition rather than like just kind of a natural outflowing. Where I look at the Constitution, I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, totally.

Auron McIntyre (88:34)

Right. You know, I'm not one of these people who thinks that it's entirely impossible for someone to assimilate to the United States. Like even Pat Buchanan said that people can assimilate to the United States. But he was very clear. They have to have something to eliminate or assimilate to.

Tate Brown (88:48)

Right.

Auron McIntyre (88:48)

Like that. You have to have a predominant culture. And if you bring in a lot of people who don't share that culture all at once, that culture will cease to be. That's as obvious as it can be to anyone in the world. So it's not like you can't bring a few people in from a foreign country because they married an American or they're an exceptional person and they can learn the ways of America over time and over generations. Their family can become American. But you can't just walk millions of people in and be like, well, we read the Constitution and now they're all Americans.

Tim Pool (89:15)

I got it. MK Ultra. Remember that anyone who comes this country has to get MK Ultraed. It's not two weeks locked in a room with no windows. Metal. Those metal, you know, whatever they're called, holding your eyes open while you watch.

Kellen (89:29)

Just like JD Vance Memes GHS edits All right, yeah. Aura Farming from the it might work.

Tate Brown (89:37)

That's better than our current strategy. Well, I mean, to your point too is like, you know, you have to have something to assimilate to because this is like something conservatives keep saying. I'm like, this is not true. It's like they're like, how did someone like Zorn, he's not assimilated how this happened. I'm like, have you ever been to the outer boroughs of New York City?

Auron McIntyre (89:49)

He actually reflects in perfectly.

Tim Pool (89:51)

Yeah.

Tate Brown (89:51)

He reflects the new group there like very well, actually. It's like you knew around here this is kind of what our cities look like these days.

Kellen (89:58)

One silver lining to Zo run and what's happening in New York City is they're going to speed run this, this test of, of socialism and arguably the largest. It's still by population the largest city in America.

Tim Pool (90:10)

Right.

Tate Brown (90:10)

Two times as big.

Kellen (90:11)

Yeah.

Tim Pool (90:11)

So.

Kellen (90:12)

So they're going to speed run this test and I predict that it's going to fail miserably. And so you could get a conservative New York after all this?

Tate Brown (90:18)

I don't think so, because Jack, it's.

Kellen (90:21)

A dream, but I can.

Tate Brown (90:22)

Jack Posobic made this point and it's just really poignant and it's kind of a hard pill to swallow, but it'. Is. He was talking about the New York City mayoral election. He's like, this isn't an election about policy anymore. This is an election that's basically a census. This is an election about demographics.

Auron McIntyre (90:34)

That's right. California, is it better run now or when it was in the 50s and 60s.

Tate Brown (90:40)

Right.

Auron McIntyre (90:41)

But you can't get a Republican elected in California anymore. Why? Is it because Democrats are so much better at running California? No, the electoral results, no matter. You moved a bunch of people into the United States and shifted the demographics of California. That's all that matters.

Tim Pool (90:55)

But whatever the reason, it is obvious that California is mismanaged and not being run properly. So the, the option is Trump should declare an insurrection and go in and clean it up.

Auron McIntyre (91:04)

Your options are either to separate from these people or to rule them. There is no other option. Right.

Tate Brown (91:09)

To rule them.

Auron McIntyre (91:09)

Yeah, yeah, those are your options.

Kellen (91:11)

I do think New York will be differently. Different than what you're describing in California because that was like a slow rot problem. Right. Like it was decades of mismanagement that. And then all of a sudden you look back, you're like, how did we get here with Zoran's policies about like privatizing the grocery Stores I think he wants.

Tate Brown (91:27)

He wants to make.

Kellen (91:28)

He wants to social. Social grocery stores. That's change. It's going to happen overnight and it's people's gonna see that impact.

Tim Pool (91:36)

Do you really think about how awesome it is for people who don't live in New York? We could get like a big box truck go to one of his. His commie stores buy a ton of stuff and just bring it here and we save tons of money and it's. It's them who's collapsing. Will then sell these goods at low rates to the stores here for a small profit. You exploit the communism.

Kellen (91:54)

You know that's a joke. But I guarantee there's people already thinking of this like in neighboring states. I can't wait.

Tim Pool (92:00)

Exactly why this is so dumb. People are.

Jeff Bridges (92:03)

Morning Zoe. Got donuts.

Zoe (92:04)

Jeff Bridges, why are you still living above our garage?

Jeff Bridges (92:07)

Well I dig the mattress and I want to be in a T mobile commercial like you teach me. So Dana.

Tim Pool (92:14)

Oh no.

Zoe (92:16)

I'm not really prepared. I couldn't possibly at t mobile get the new iPhone 17 Pro on them. It's designed to be the most powerful iPhone yet and has the ultimate pro camera system.

Tim Pool (92:26)

Wow.

Jeff Bridges (92:26)

Impressive. Let me try. T mobile is the best place to get iPhone 17 Pro because they've got the best network.

Zoe (92:34)

Nice. Jeffrey, you heard them.

Tim Pool (92:35)

T mobile is the best place to.

Tate Brown (92:37)

Get the new iPhone 17 Pro on us with eligible traded in any condition.

Tim Pool (92:42)

Condition.

Jeff Bridges (92:42)

So what are we having for lunch?

Zoe (92:44)

Dude my work here is done.

Tim Pool (93:33)

You're going to live in New York. You're going to go to these stores and you're going to say no profit products I'll take the lot. Then they're going to drive across the way to Jersey and they're going to be like, I can sell it to you at cost for delivery. You guys, look, the 20% margin gone. I make 5%, you make 15. And they're going to be like, this is amazing. And then these stores will never have food in them.

Kellen (93:53)

They're doing this at the, at the casino. You see these people walk up and they buy like a whole carton of cigarettes. And I'm like, why? That's insane. You're paying casino price, like $15 a pack. They're taking it because they've got bonus points through the casino, taking it and selling it somewhere else.

Tim Pool (94:06)

Well, you know, in Chicago the way it works is that Illinois passed these taxes on cigarettes, but Indiana didn't. So people would drive to Indiana, buy a ton of cartons of cigarettes. Then every party you are at, people were like, smokes, who wants smokes? And they call them squares.

Tate Brown (94:22)

Back then I bartered with cigarettes all through Africa because like in the capital you could get them.

Auron McIntyre (94:26)

I thought we were getting a prison story. Go ahead.

Tate Brown (94:28)

Well, Africa really is one big prison. You really think about it. Yeah, but like, yeah, I would be like a Nairobi. And then when I was in like the countryside in the bush, there's no access to cigarettes there, so I wasn't even using, I was just using them to barter. Like I'd pay for taxis and stuff with them. Cuz it's just like, even though it's worth less than what the taxi would have cost, or the taxi, you're just hopping on the back of a motorcycle using the cigarette, they're like, oh, well, I don't go to Nairobi anymore. I can just help this guy out.

Auron McIntyre (94:50)

But, but I do, I do want us to just remember this. Like it's really, really important. Is the economics dumb?

Tate Brown (94:56)

Yes.

Auron McIntyre (94:57)

Do they even know the economics dumb is dumb? They might actually. The point is this is not about the economic system. This is a raid, right? This is, this is how to loot the treasury. It's not about, oh, I figured out Karl Marx is actually correct about distribution of good. No, no. This is about people from a foreign country coming in, seeing that you have stuff that they don't have, and then taking it from you. Like, this is not about an economic system.

Tim Pool (95:22)

Let's jump to this story from the ap. This is pretty wild. This broke last night. Trump says he's ending trade negotiations with Canada over TV ads. They ran these misleading ads where it was, I guess Ronald Reagan disparaging tariffs or whatever, $75,000 ad. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. supreme Court and other courts. Tariffs are very important to the national security and economy of the US all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. I look forward to Canadians whinging on X being like, this is nutrient. We're gonna throw you stiff away. And it's like, bro, let's see how long your economy lasts when we cut you off.

Tate Brown (95:54)

Yeah.

Tim Pool (95:55)

We have no obligation to provide support to Canada. You know what? You can be the 51st state or you can cry about it.

Tate Brown (96:02)

We should just buy them with the money we're tariffing off of them. Save up for a few months and just buy them.

Kellen (96:08)

Put it all.

Auron McIntyre (96:08)

We're buying Canada jar on top of the refrigerator.

Tim Pool (96:11)

Let's be real. If we cut off all trade to Canada, literally cut them off, how long would they last?

Tate Brown (96:16)

Not very long or two. Yeah.

Tim Pool (96:18)

And then once they're in their weakened state, we pick up the scraps. Yeah. So I'm sick of this Canadian arrogance. I got a ton of death threats when I jokingly said, we should conquer Canada. We greet it as liberators. They're so arrogant. Not all Canadians, some of them actually would greet us as liberators, saying, please help us from what our government's doing. But it's fascinating how many arrogant Canadians there are. They act like the United States needs them. There are many businesses in the United States that do trade with Canada, and they make money, and those businesses will suffer from this stuff. It's unfortunate for those Americans, but we have no obligation as a nation to subsidize Canada. And they say, yes, but we provide you with peanuts and oil, and that's just fine. We don't need it. We like it. We want it. But needs a totally different scenario. We shut down that border. Yeah, we'll hurt a little bit. Think most people largely will go without noticing it. And Canada will be bent over backwards.

Auron McIntyre (97:08)

I mean, the country's own leadership is turning it into, like, a colony of India. So we can't do anything worse to Canada than they're doing to their own citizens.

Tate Brown (97:15)

They haven't. And not just that. Like, they're, like, importing ethnic grievances. Like in Brampton, Ontario, there's like, I don't. I don't even know what groups, but they, like, go at it and, like, Walmart, parking lots of stuff. It's like, wow, thanks a lot, guys. I think we just take the CN Tower and move it to Vegas. Just like steal it, just move it. Shut the border down. We're keeping Justin Bieber. Sorry about it. The only ultimate message, the only thing.

Kellen (97:37)

Canada has are those like, kind of like C list sci fi shows. Those are all made in Canada.

Tate Brown (97:42)

Those are pretty good.

Auron McIntyre (97:43)

That's true.

Tate Brown (97:44)

House Hunters is really. I like House Hunter.

Kellen (97:46)

That's that in Canada.

Auron McIntyre (97:47)

They're major important. Sci Fi Channel.

Kellen (97:49)

Yeah, the CW ones.

Tate Brown (97:50)

Yeah.

Tim Pool (97:50)

I, I, they ended the Arrowverse anyway.

Kellen (97:52)

So we can maybe annex those studios and then we just keep Vancouver. But no, in all seriousness, they don't like, listen, half the country's frozen for half or the country's frozen for half the year. The, the farming's not that great. We have oil in Alaska. Right. So it's like there's not actually maybe maple syrup, maybe some of the maple trees.

Tim Pool (98:10)

But, but you, how many troops would we really, would we really need to conquer Canada?

Auron McIntyre (98:15)

Very little.

Tim Pool (98:16)

It would be, it would be a rounding error for us to put in the budget conquering of Canada. So I say we, we do.

Tate Brown (98:23)

Yeah.

Auron McIntyre (98:23)

They can keep Quebec though.

Tim Pool (98:25)

They can keep.

Kellen (98:26)

Well, that's, we need Greenland first. I think we need Greenland as like a station point, kind of almost like a.

Auron McIntyre (98:31)

Wouldn't it be amazing if we couldn't hold Afghanistan, but we could hold Canada? Yeah, like ultimately that'd be really base.

Tate Brown (98:37)

We actually complete a road.

Auron McIntyre (98:38)

Yeah. They don't have goat herder technology, so we're able to like actually take them over.

Tate Brown (98:42)

Well, in all actuality, the geopolitical play in taking Canada, and this is why the Trump administration actually floated it, is because the Arctic is opening up now. We're trying to like, you know, we're trying to provide a counterbalance for the powers that be. And so, you know, grabbing the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, I think, so you pronounce it, that gives us access to this potential, you know, sea, sea route that's opening up through, through the north.

Kellen (99:03)

The Russian foreign minister proposed a bridge, an underwater well, a tunnel between Alaska and Russia. And a lot of people are laughing it off. But I mean, you're right, like solar observer Ben Davidson is warning about this. Like as the climate's shifting, for whatever reason you want to attribute it to, the ice is melting, these shipping lanes are opening up. That part of the world is going to see a lot more interaction than ever before than we can, you know, in our history.

Tate Brown (99:32)

At least I think it was like six months ago where a breaker successfully completed the route and brought a boat with it.

Auron McIntyre (99:37)

I was going to say, doesn't Russia have just this giant fleet of icebreakers compared to everybody.

Tate Brown (99:40)

Huge fleet. Well, because they have Murmansk in the north of Russia, that's a port. It's like frozen for like nine months a year. But they got to get stuff in there because I don't think it connects to their road system. So that's the only way to get stuff there.

Tim Pool (99:52)

So, guys, I asked our friend chatgpt, which is by the way, seriously, it's the worst LLM of all now. But I said, based on historical wars, how many troops would the US need to conquer Canada? What do you think? It said?

Tate Brown (100:04)

Million dozen?

Auron McIntyre (100:05)

500,000? 200,000?

Tim Pool (100:08)

You're all wrong. It said, I can't help plan, estimate, or advise on committing violence or an invasion. Asking how many troops would be needed to conquer a country is a quest to facilitate violent wrongdoing. So I have to refuse.

Kellen (100:19)

About in Minecraft.

Auron McIntyre (100:20)

That's what it says ask about in Minecraft.

Tim Pool (100:22)

Hold on, hold on. It actually thought that we sitting here were planning to utilize the US military to invade and conquer Canada or the. That we had in some way the possibility to amass an army to do so. That is the stupidest thing ever. So I responded with no one is going to attack Canada. I am asking based on military size for academic reasons, for math fair. You said this is academic. And math, I can do that only at a high level. No operational advice, no invasion planning. I was just asking it. What I wanted it to do was take a look at the size of Canada, the size of the US historical record. And based on warfare, like the amount of people, what is the typical amount of troops that are required to conquer a nation like Canada? And it says one soldier per thousand civilians is the minimal garrison metric. And it's saying forced a population ratio it would be. You would need, let's see, 3.8 active soldiers per thousand people. And so what's the. What's it's not giving me. It's still refusing to give me a total number.

Kellen (101:31)

The population of Canada.

Auron McIntyre (101:32)

Yeah, we can do this.

Tate Brown (101:33)

39.

Auron McIntyre (101:33)

You just need Toronto.

Tate Brown (101:34)

Pretty much about 39 million should take Toronto.

Auron McIntyre (101:37)

That's it.

Tim Pool (101:37)

So 3.8. Is that what it was? 3.8 soldiers per thousand into 40 million. So that's. That's actually not that hard to calculate. That's 40 million is a thousand. So you're looking at 3,800 per million. Is that what it's going to be?

Tate Brown (101:56)

I'm sold.

Tim Pool (101:57)

No, no, wait, wait.

Tate Brown (101:58)

3.8. Hold on.

Auron McIntyre (101:59)

It's.

Tim Pool (102:02)

Who's doing it.

Auron McIntyre (102:02)

3.8.

Tim Pool (102:03)

3.8 per thousand. It's 3,800 per million.

Auron McIntyre (102:07)

So 40 million divided by a thousand.

Tate Brown (102:09)

Right.

Auron McIntyre (102:10)

Times 3.8.

Tim Pool (102:14)

Why can't I just answer the question? It would be what 3,800 times times 40?

Auron McIntyre (102:19)

3,800 times 40.

Tim Pool (102:22)

I believe that's is my math.

Tate Brown (102:23)

Right, that's what I said. 152,000.

Auron McIntyre (102:25)

That's why I'm like what?

Tate Brown (102:25)

That doesn't.

Tim Pool (102:26)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If it's 3.8 per thousand into 40 million, that would be 150,000 man. It really won't give me the answer I guess.

Auron McIntyre (102:35)

200,000. So yeah, price is right rules. You're closest. Yeah, exactly.

Tate Brown (102:38)

Guys, I'm looking at my count. I'm busy this weekend. Can we do the liberation of Canada?

Tim Pool (102:41)

It says between about a hundred thousand troops, so.

Kellen (102:45)

Oh, we might be able to scare them with our Halloween costs.

Tate Brown (102:47)

Well we have the culture live on the 8th, so we have to do it. Oh my, then we'll be busy that weekend.

Auron McIntyre (102:51)

You don't want that to interrupt your show.

Tate Brown (102:53)

Oh yeah. So I don't know, maybe two weekends we could do it. Why not? No one has said a reason.

Kellen (102:59)

You know the number is gonna be tricky because how many ports do they really have?

Tate Brown (103:03)

Once we shut like just blockade Halifax, that's it.

Auron McIntyre (103:07)

As long as we disassemble, you know, battle cruisers and reassemble them on the Great Lakes and fight like the war of 1812, that's all I worry about.

Kellen (103:14)

It's a trick question. Cuz Andrel is making drone technology now. So we're going to have a fleet of American drones.

Auron McIntyre (103:20)

We don't need any troops.

Kellen (103:20)

We don't need any troops.

Auron McIntyre (103:21)

You only need 20 just to play.

Kellen (103:22)

The video drone up. We need video. Yeah, we need 13 year olds on Fortnite gamers.

Tate Brown (103:26)

Your moment.

Tim Pool (103:27)

You know I, I, I would argue before I'm going to get way more death threats now, but since the Charlie Kirk thing, the death threats have been, the threats in general just been way worse. So the, the worst, the, the two worst things that ever happened was when I claimed we would invade Canada. It was nuts. We got so many emails from people being like, I'll kill you Canada. And I'm like huh? And then, but we take any of that seriously. The Charlie Kirk thing, everything's very serious. So the Canadians can say whatever they want and Ibody wants your ice, your Iceland, you know what I mean? Or Iceland.

Tate Brown (103:54)

Our threat worked because Breaking news from the BBC Ontario to stop running anti tariff Advert that led Trump.

Kellen (104:01)

Work, boys.

Auron McIntyre (104:01)

Great work. We did it.

Tate Brown (104:02)

We totally fell for it. He thought we were doing this for academic reasons.

Kellen (104:06)

Well, you mentioned Iceland, Tim. No one wants Iceland. They definitely don't. They have mosquitoes for the first time ever.

Tim Pool (104:11)

What?

Tate Brown (104:12)

Yeah, I saw.

Tim Pool (104:12)

I said nobody wants your Iceland. Maybe Iceland. Oh, Iceland's awesome.

Kellen (104:17)

Well, no one wants, like, farts now. Mosquitoes and fart.

Tate Brown (104:19)

Are we still going to get Greenland?

Auron McIntyre (104:21)

Is that tabled?

Tate Brown (104:22)

Oh, yeah.

Auron McIntyre (104:22)

Like, what happened to that?

Tate Brown (104:23)

We're a little busy.

Tim Pool (104:24)

I just kind of realized something. Why don't we just take all countries? Wait, no. Here's an idea. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Obviously, we can't. We don't enough troops for every single country. But what if we created a system where we set up a bank and offered money to these countries to put them in debt, and then it's not that we have enough troops to actually conquer everybody, but that we could conquer any individual one. By going back on these deals and rallying other forces against them, we can build. This might take a couple decades. Eventually every country will be within our financial system. We can cut them off and we'll own them.

Auron McIntyre (104:59)

Tim, that's not world domination. That's global governance. Okay? That's a.

Tim Pool (105:02)

That's a.

Auron McIntyre (105:03)

That's a responsible global community.

Tate Brown (105:05)

Totally unrealistic because we would need to put bases dotted around the world and we can never.

Auron McIntyre (105:08)

Oh, nobody would. Nobody would allow you that. That would look too much like some kind of globalism.

Kellen (105:12)

Certain countries that, like, really push back. What we can do is we just have to install, like a friendly person of their culture, and then they'll run the country the way we want.

Auron McIntyre (105:21)

What if they only watched our TV shows and our movies, Sesame street, our music, and then, like, we can just.

Tim Pool (105:27)

Tell them, you know, I was thinking, in the event that there's some, you know, nation that just won't get on board, what we can do is first we can bribe them with money. We'll go to the leader and just say, listen, we're gonna. You'll live like a king. Like, let's get on board. And if they don't do that, we can then try and prop up maybe a rival to that politician and defeat them. And if that doesn't work, then we'll send in the troops and kill them. And they can maybe hide underground or.

Rubrik Announcer (105:52)

Well, they're terrorists, of course.

Kellen (105:54)

Yeah.

Tate Brown (105:54)

This is all.

Tim Pool (105:55)

They die.

Auron McIntyre (105:56)

This is all. Absolutely.

Tim Pool (105:58)

Never, Never has any of this ever happened.

Auron McIntyre (106:00)

Never happened. The sad thing is, if we would just admit that we're an empire, then we could just rule people correctly.

Tate Brown (106:07)

This is an important point because this is the point Trump made in 2016 is like all this discourse around like the global war on terror and everything. And Trump's problem was just like, where's the oil? Because he has that emperor thinking. He was like, he wasn't concerned about the logistics. He's just like, where's the oil? And that's actually really poignant. It's like, if we're going to be this global empire, can we benefit a little bit?

Tim Pool (106:26)

I got to be honest, I have a bit more respect for Trump and I'm sure many people would if he literally just got went on tv, put on a crown and said, we are the American empire and we're taking your oil. To be fair, he actually did this famously in his first term when he was in the, he was near the Ellipse, the helicopter and they asked him and he's like, saudi Arabia is going to buy a bunch of weapons from us. It's great for the economy. And all these anti war people on the left and the right just went like their jaws dropped. And they were like. He just, he just admitted it. He just admitted this is what the US government does. And Trump was like, oh, yeah. And I thought everyone knew that.

Auron McIntyre (107:01)

Oh, it's the best part about Trump. I mean, at some point you do hope that like JD Vance like offers him the laurel three times and he refuses it though, you know, so you got a little bit of classic cover there. But yeah, no, Trump comes out all the time and just makes it clear like he expects transactional relationships politically, you know, he's like, well, I don't understand. Obviously we're in charge here. You should be kicking back to us. Like there's no hesitation, you know, we.

Tim Pool (107:23)

Are going to go to the backstage Discord members instead of super chats as we do this special episode. I don't know how we've. We've got it set up. We have a bunch of questions in advance or we can just take the chat directly from the IRL backstage. For those that are wondering what's going on, we are experimenting with format and this is a pre recorded episode we recorded a little bit earlier today and we allowed the Discord members. You go to timcast.com you click join us, you sign up to not only watch the whole live show pre record but even the hour of or it's about 45 minutes I think of pre production where they hung out while we were choosing stories and goofing off. And now we're going to take chats from the Discord community as opposed to what we normally do with the super chat. So I don't know how we have it. You guys pulled up or what questions, but we'll certainly just read your questions from the backstage as we would any other super chat. I do think people gave us questions in advance, though. Everybody's frantically looking for them.

Kellen (108:17)

We should have them. Brett. Brett does have a compiled list somewhere, but I don't know if Serge has that pulled up. We do have a chat, though. On screen.

Tim Pool (108:26)

Yeah, I'm reading the chat right now. So you guys can just send in whatever you want, give you fair warning. And we'll start with this from unemployed tech guy Tim. Why is Nick Fuentes gay? I would assume that if he was gay, I don't know that he is what many people think he is. It would simply because he was born that way. Is there any other answer to that? I don't know. He watches anime.

Tate Brown (108:46)

What boonies board did he buy? Do we know who did? Nick?

Auron McIntyre (108:49)

Yeah. For the be gay or don't be gay.

Tate Brown (108:51)

That's how you decide.

Kellen (108:52)

We could gift him. We could gift him one. We'll say, oh, it's a mystery. We just picked a random one out.

Auron McIntyre (108:55)

But it's the.

Tate Brown (108:56)

Just see which one he picks.

Tim Pool (108:57)

Just to clarify, the Mississippi gentleman ask. Wait, this is pre recorded? No, you're listening to us live, but everybody who's watching in the normal time slot, it will have been recorded earlier in the day. We got this question from dirt board OG says, did Jason Ellis drop in on that crazy effing ramp after skate night? He did not. And it probably was wise. I think he could do it. But he's also in his 50s and that's the real concern. It's like he was as young when he was a young man. It would have been no problem. And we were all concerned. The drop in actually isn't the challenge. And most people that like these pros who bring in, they look at the ramp and they're like, I could do it. The problem is where you go afterwards because you're gonna be dropping and you're gonna be going what, like 30 miles an hour from this vert ramp? And there's nowhere to go. So we need to set up like a bunch of pillows or something. Otherwise people are gonna just crash out and get.

Kellen (109:43)

Seriously, you can get like those giant inflatable airbags. I've seen you see them at like. Yeah, but you don't like those.

Tim Pool (109:49)

We do have those inflatable bags at the castle.

Kellen (109:51)

Oh, okay.

Tim Pool (109:52)

Yeah.

Auron McIntyre (109:52)

When he was here.

Tim Pool (109:52)

They're probably eaten by rats by now.

Auron McIntyre (109:54)

When he was here, he was walking back and forth looking at the thing like a frantic dog. Be like, I'm gonna get that. He was like, he was, was foaming it. He was just eyeing it up and down, just ready to do it. But he couldn't do it.

Tim Pool (110:04)

All right, let's go. Soapy says it's been a year. Can we finally get the boonies discord set up and someone to actually rally the troops? I feel like the boonies is severely lacking on all fronts. I've been told things are coming since day one and nothing except new deck designs every three or four months at Timcast. As I often state, unless I am doing the work, things don't happen. And don't ask me why, I don't know, but they know. Was that. Do the live shows. The live. Oh, that's. That's true. Yes. Yes. So we've been doing the Skate Night live events which have been massive and have, have been taken over the skate industry by storm. We, we are looking at big sponsors who are now fighting over Skate Night, which is amazing. Not like we're going to get paid millions of dollars, but there, there's, there's a bidding war now, and that's good news. And we've got two of the biggest pros for January that appear to be tangentially booked, which is going to be nuts. I'm talking high profile individuals. I'm going to try to get one of them to come on Tim Cast irl. I'm not going to say who it is, but it's going to be amazing. And not, not, not. He's like a younger guy in his 30s. But as for the discord, you are correct. We need management. So maybe our new managers will, will get on top of things and solve that. The crew itself have been working overtime to do those live events, so. But you are correct. You are absolutely correct.

Kellen (111:13)

We also have a green room episode with rep Riley Moore, which was a skate session.

Tim Pool (111:18)

Oh, cool.

Kellen (111:18)

So if you guys are interested in the boonies content, go check out that video on Tim Cast IRL Rumble.

Tim Pool (111:23)

I texted Riley Moore and we. Santos called Tim Burchett the other night. Oh, he did call him about doing a congressional pro team and I was like, tim Burchett? Tim Burchett's a cruiser skater. My understanding, I don't think he does like flip tricks, but Riley Moore actually can do all the tricks. Riley Rips Riley. Yeah, he's amazing. He did a kickflip fakie on the bank. And I'm sure for, you know, if Riley was a lot younger, he's high level skateboarding. The fact that he's in his 40s and a member of Congress and is not really a skateboarder but can still do these tricks means he must have been really good. Yeah. Because he came in, he did a kickflip to fakie with no problem. And I'm like, man, when he was in his 20s, I bet he was top tier. But now he's like family guy. He's working business. He doesn't skate all the time, so he rips.

Kellen (112:08)

He's local.

Auron McIntyre (112:08)

I've had him on the show, but I did not expect him to be a great skateboarder. He's awesome.

Tim Pool (112:13)

He's probably the only skateboarder, only person in Congress who can kickflip.

Auron McIntyre (112:17)

Nice.

Tim Pool (112:17)

So I'm like, let's do a congressional model. Here's the other big news. The new. The new boonies models are coming out very soon. There's going to be 65 original boards. Five. There's gonna be five unique ones. There's five unique designs. Then for each design, there will be five gold metallic versions of the board serialized. And once we sell out of these 70 boards, they will never be made again. So we're going to be. We're aiming for this about once a month have a new design. And this next one is. It's like animals and environment. Like. I don't know, terrain, animals, like primal kind of thing. Well, I wouldn't call it primal.

Auron McIntyre (112:56)

It's.

Tim Pool (112:56)

Each board is a different animal with a different terrain. And it's just a design for the boonies and there's a bullet for each person's name, I guess.

Auron McIntyre (113:02)

Yeah, that's cool.

Tim Pool (113:03)

Yeah, something like that. And then we're gonna have five golden metallic ones, meaning if you order the board of boonies, you will randomly receive one of the metallic gold foil. We think with 70 boards of each, we are going to just sell them all out instantly because we sell way more than boards as it is. And then that being the case, we are going to have a rotation of new graphics and designs coming out every month and they're all going to have limited edition versions. What is this?

Kellen (113:29)

Yeah, we got questions now.

Tim Pool (113:30)

We do have the questions being pulled up. Let me move.

Kellen (113:33)

These are.

Tim Pool (113:33)

You can't do that. That doesn't work.

Kellen (113:35)

These are from Discord members throughout the week. Is similar to the call in submissions, but they Submitted written questions.

Tim Pool (113:41)

I would like to get the one specifically for Auron. Are these just in general or these.

Kellen (113:44)

Are with Orin in mind? They should be, but they might just be general questions. You know, people ask, whatever.

Tim Pool (113:49)

All right, let's. Let's do this with Plumber Dave. He says, where on the threat to Western civilization meter would you place the ideology of technocrats?

Auron McIntyre (114:00)

I think it's pretty huge, not just to Western civilization, but to all of us right now. Vast managerial bureaucracies are pretty much the building block of most of civilization. And that means that technocratic decisions are removing most of our human agency from the governance that we think we're a lot of our political divide is actually us arguing over like the results of our technology and not understanding that that is what caused our problems and not necessarily individual ideological assumptions. And so the problem is that the more that we don't recognize that those structures are taking over our decision making process, the worse things get and we just end up kind of pointing at each other rather than recognizing a core issue of the, of the problem. So I think technocracy is one of the greatest problems facing us today. Agreed.

Tim Pool (114:49)

Right on. Sleepy Wizzo says if ICE tries to arrest someone in the courthouse and the judge orders the bailiff to intervene, can an accompanying FBI agent arrest the bailiff for interfere. Interfering with federal law enforcement? Yes. You could just do things. The question is who has the willpower to actually do these things?

Kellen (115:06)

Well, the precedent's been set with the judge in Minnesota. Was that, what was the judge where he helped sneak the illegal immigrant.

Auron McIntyre (115:13)

Yeah, yeah, the lady. And then she did.

Kellen (115:14)

She was charged. So there's precedent in holding people accountable that are aiding the evasion of ICE and these federal officers.

Auron McIntyre (115:21)

Well, the greater question with the bailiff would be obviously he's under orders. Right. And so it's a, it's a little different thing when the judge makes that decision decision. So I don't, I. You'd hope that ultimately the, the bailiff and the FBI agent wouldn't come to blows. But that is literally when you get civil war stuff, right? Like when you have two armed agents of the state obeying different factions of the state, that's when I think that's when you can truly say that you are well and deep into any given civil war. We've talked before about how, you know, if you had a civil war, we'd go back to other times. But I think once you start seeing different agents of the state obeying different entities inside the state and fighting each other, like with Real force. That, that's an undeniable now situation.

Kellen (116:02)

Would the bailiff have jurisdiction outside the courtroom? Because if you want. Elad does a lot of these videos where the ICE agents are waiting outside the courtroom. They're in the hallway of the courthouse, but they're not in the courtroom. So my question is, does the bailiff have any power once he steps out of that courtroom, or is he just there in that actual room? That would be my question. And I would imagine ICE was waiting in the hallway for a reason, because that's when they're allowed to take these people into custody. But I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. That's just my two cents on it.

Auron McIntyre (116:35)

I imagine that's right. But it's going to depend on, again, like, the jurisdiction of the, whatever organization was providing the bailiff. Usually bailiffs are part of a sheriff's department or part of a police department somewhere else. They're not usually just officers of the court. So I, it would kind of depend. But I, I, again, I am also not a lawyer, so I don't know the exact.

Kellen (116:53)

Okay, I see what you're saying. So they, they could still be law enforcement in a different capacity outside that courtroom. Right.

Auron McIntyre (116:58)

If you're a police officer and you're like a, you working for a city, once you move outside that municipality, you are no longer in that jurisdiction. You might still be a law enforcement officer. You have seen law enforcement officers detain people, but even if they're not in that jurisdiction, but they cannot ultimately make the arrest, they don't have, you know, the ability to do that because they are not inside the jurisdiction where they have authority.

Kellen (117:20)

You'll see that with fire departments and even the local police departments out around here, because there's a river that separates the different states in the area we're in. And a lot of times, if you live right on that border, you cross the river, it's not a magic like, hey, I'm in the safe zone. You can't touch me. No, the, the departments, the fire departments, the police departments, they work together and they're like, no, we have jurisdiction in their county, they have it in ours. We work together. So.

Tim Pool (117:44)

Right on. We have a lot of questions. I don't know if we have time to get to every single one, but we'll read some more. Let's go. St. Saturn says for Tim and company, the Trump administration is apparently going to cut student loans. Why? This was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. So why is the administration playing with this? I heard that was just for people who join federal government, who join, like, ice and stuff.

Tate Brown (118:04)

I thought it was just for the.

Auron McIntyre (118:06)

Incoming payment plan stuff, too. I think he was bringing that back.

Tim Pool (118:09)

Yeah. I don't know. I am. I am unaware.

Auron McIntyre (118:12)

I mean, the Republicans should just be seizing the university endowments and then forgiving student loans with that money. That'd be nice. That's the way to do it. It's a winning issue. It wins with the students. You're not raiding the pockets of plumbers and other people to. To pay off, you know, entitled people, and you're making the people who actually stole the money, the universities, pay the cost. It's a win across the board. The fact that Republicans aren't embracing it is foolish. A great solution.

Tim Pool (118:34)

Here's a fun one. Dr. Pants asks, Is Israel's complaint about Hamas valid if Israel previously funded them?

Tate Brown (118:41)

Ooh, are.

Kellen (118:43)

I feel like we probably have NGOs that funded cartels. Is it still our problem? I. I'd say yes.

Tim Pool (118:48)

Like, yeah. So it depends on what their complaint is. If the complaint is Hamas or terrorists. If I gave. If, like, some dude came to my house and said, I'm going to mow your lawn. And I was like, sounds good. And it's like, what? Tell me what you're going to do. And he's like, well, I'm going to mow the lawn. I'm going to pick it up and throw it away, and I promise that's what I'll do. I said, okay, here's 50 bucks. And then he goes, awesome. Comes back with a bunch of bags of. Of garbage and trash. Because he went to a McDonald's and bought a bunch of nasty food. Starts chucking all over the place. And I'm like, oh, what are you doing, man? You're making a mess. And then someone goes, yeah, well, you paid him. So it's. You have no complaint. I'd be like, dude, I didn't pay him to do this.

Tate Brown (119:23)

Yeah.

Kellen (119:23)

And we were joking earlier about, like, regime change. How will pay these people to get a desired outcome that doesn't. It usually doesn't happen. It doesn't happen the way we want it to. So I think it was kind of like a lesson. After the Cold War, a lot of these powers in the world were like, let's try regime change out. Let's throw money at this problem. And we're finding out now in 2025 it's not a good idea. It doesn't really work.

Auron McIntyre (119:48)

Well, Israel created a situation where the, you know, the people who live alongside them are never going to be okay with them being there. That's just never going to happen. You're not going to do a peace deal. No one's going to talk it through and have a negotiation and be. Yeah, at the end of the day, it's okay if you're living in the house my grandparents used to live in and you took a gunpoint, like, that's never going to happen. You can say Israel is right or wrong and its establishment, everything else that's immaterial at this point. It is a sovereign nation. It has control over what it's going to do. And so it's going to deploy its military forces against people who ultimately are trying to, to kill them or stop them or whatever. Again, we can go through all the ideological justifications, but at the end of the day, this is just a reality. When you have two incompatible populations living in the same place, one of them is going to displace the other.

Tim Pool (120:32)

That.

Auron McIntyre (120:32)

That's the end of it.

Tate Brown (120:33)

Yeah.

Tim Pool (120:35)

And it's a war. You know, I look at it, I'm like, it's a war like any other war. If your argument is we shouldn't be involved, I'll say just like every other war. I agree, but it's, it's, it's crazy to me how people take moral stances with foreign governments like this. Like, I, I got nothing to do with it, bro. Yeah, you want to argue China, Burma, Tibet? I don't know.

Kellen (120:52)

Like, sure, I guess mostly just Israel, though. I mean, we don't really hear these questions about China, you know, and, and.

Tim Pool (120:57)

Like, why not Taiwan?

Kellen (120:59)

That's a. Yeah, it's a good, good paragon, I guess.

Tim Pool (121:01)

Tai. Taiwan's not being occupied yet.

Kellen (121:03)

Not yet.

Tim Pool (121:03)

Yet. Let's go grab some more. Dusty says a question for the panel. Back before Trump was in office and before he was elected, he was talking about the possibility of releasing the Epstein files. However, around that time, Google searches for suicide spiked in the D.C. area. Tim had led one of the episodes talking about it how much of a possibility the people involved may commit suicide out of fear of the release has affected why Trump has not yet released the Epstein files. I don't think that. I think the suicide was related to the closing of usaid. So I don't think it was related to Epstein. This was this around the time that they shut out all these office. Everyone got fired. And then you saw a spike in suicide searches.

Kellen (121:36)

You saw that after Covid, when people lost their jobs, and after J6 when people lost their jobs. You Saw a similar thing. And I think the common theme is you take someone's livelihood away, they get very mental illness spikes. Right. So. And that's what this USAID stuff was. I mean, it was good to shut it down, but a lot of people, you just cut off their livelihood.

Tim Pool (121:55)

Yeah.

Tate Brown (121:56)

I was reading about how the. A lot of the infrastructure behind the suicide hotline and those types of organizations really like bolstered during the financial crash because they just. It's like mental health crises shot through the roof.

Auron McIntyre (122:08)

Are these like Google searches on how to get help and to deal with suicide or like how to commit suicide?

Tate Brown (122:13)

I think it's just keyword like media.

Auron McIntyre (122:15)

Social, suicide being in the search. Okay, so it's like searching suicide, having that in there.

Kellen (122:19)

That's a good point. That's a good question. Cuz like Libs of Tik Tok could report one instance of it. Then everyone starts googling this like, oh, what is going on?

Auron McIntyre (122:26)

I was just wondering what the actual.

Tate Brown (122:28)

The Suicide Squad movie comes out and everyone's like, what? What kind of news event could have caused this?

Tim Pool (122:32)

Yeah, we got a chat from Olivia. Hey, Tim. Two of the Discord members got married on Wednesday. Michael and Cat met here and after knowing each other for two years are married. Cat was also my bridesmaid. The Discord really is incredible and life changing for a lot of us. Incredible.

Kellen (122:46)

Congrats, guys. Yeah, for real.

Tim Pool (122:48)

Today's show was a combination of factors of we were like. With everything we'd been bringing up about extended work days, threats of security, live streaming, we were like, well, the one thing we can try and do is maybe just on a Friday because the news usually dies around the afternoon and the stories we have are usually from earlier as it is. I was like, let's pre record it. But then we can do a, like we'll do a backstage members only thing. So we're creating more Discord engagement, more communal engagement, a special privy. Like we have a hundred people, 109 people watching. It's not like a big super like open thing and bring all these things together because we're actively trying to figure out how to mitigate security issues, maximize efficiency and maximize community engagement. So there you go. Let's see. Sometimes Discord doesn't search your name document. Doc Bone says Tim Cast been a member since the beginning and a regular version. Gre. So glad I became a supporter of what you're doing for the culture and our nation. Well, I appreciate you guys as the Discord members. It's not possible without you and I will stress this. If there's no Discord, there's no Tim Cast irl. It's a fact. The Discord members are what are. Who are basically providing the necessary funding so that we can have this show exist. This is why so many shows on TV get canceled, because they don't have the. The like, a membership that subscribes. They usually have advertisers. Advertisers alone would not sustain Tim Cast irl. So really great. Appreciate everybody who's watching. And that's why we want to do stuff like this. Looking through the live Discord. We got a couple more minutes left, and we're just going to grab your live questions. Double J says, like that dude that skated down the building for Red Bull. That was great. That was. Was it Santa? Santos?

Tate Brown (124:27)

Yeah.

Tim Pool (124:28)

Are you sure that's his name? Yeah. I thought it was Da Silva. Santos. George Santos.

Tate Brown (124:34)

George Santos.

Auron McIntyre (124:35)

He didn't tell us that last night. It's a man of many talents. Yeah.

Kellen (124:38)

Gotta get him on the Congressional Skate Team.

Auron McIntyre (124:40)

Well, yeah.

Tate Brown (124:41)

Oh, well, yeah.

Tim Pool (124:43)

All right.

Kellen (124:43)

Mentor. He could be the coach.

Auron McIntyre (124:44)

Yeah.

Tate Brown (124:45)

He could give some pep talks, maybe.

Auron McIntyre (124:46)

That'd be nice at some point. They don't let you get within 500ft.

Tim Pool (124:49)

Was it?

Auron McIntyre (124:50)

I'm trying to look up right now.

Tim Pool (124:52)

Well, I'll read this. What is the crew from Draco? What does the crew think of legislating AI? My thought is that it needs to be done now. I think they need to make it illegal to post AI material without a visible watermark and embedded watermark. I. It should be severe. Is that what you mean? For OP and minor. For reposting Diaz. There you go.

Auron McIntyre (125:11)

Everybody was wrong.

Tim Pool (125:14)

He's a UFC guy.

Auron McIntyre (125:15)

De Silva. Yeah. He's the.

Tim Pool (125:17)

Like. Who am I thinking of?

Auron McIntyre (125:17)

He's.

Tim Pool (125:18)

I knew he was a Brazilian guy and I mixed him up. I agree with the A thing. I don't know if the watermark thing will work. And you're gonna get First Amendment arguments that we'll lose because we are too literalist as a society. And we go but free speech. So everyone's allowed to do whatever they want. And then Sunny crumbles.

Kellen (125:33)

I don't know how we're gonna legislate it effectively. We can try.

Jeff Bridges (125:36)

Morning, Zoe. Got donuts.

Zoe (125:38)

Jeff Bridges. Why are you still living above our garage?

Jeff Bridges (125:41)

Well, I dig the mattress and I want to be in a T mobile commercial like you. Teach me. So. Dana.

Tim Pool (125:48)

Oh, no.

Zoe (125:49)

I'm not really prepared. I couldn't possibly at T Mob. We'll get the new iPhone 17 Pro on them. It's designed to be the most powerful iPhone yet and has the ultimate pro camera system.

Tim Pool (125:59)

Wow.

Jeff Bridges (126:00)

Impressive. Let me try. T Mobile is the best place to get iPhone 17 Pro because they've got the best network.

Zoe (126:07)

Nice. Jeffrey, you heard them.

Tim Pool (126:09)

T Mobile is the best place to get the new new iPhone 17 Pro.

Tate Brown (126:12)

On us with eligible traded in any condition.

Jeff Bridges (126:16)

So what are we having for launch?

Zoe (126:17)

Dude, my work here is done.

Kellen (126:36)

We can try to put guardrails on it, but Phil I think it was Phil has a really good point that this is like trying to legislate the car when it was displacing the horse and buggy, right? Like this technology's here, people are embracing it overnight. Every ChatGPT has trumped Google as the top or AI, I should say is now being used for as a search engine way more than Google. And I thought Google was untouchable. I was like there's never going to be anything that could take that beast down.

Auron McIntyre (127:02)

I mean if we weren't able to stop gain and function research, we're definitely not going to be able to stop AI. Nick Land is a philosopher that I've done a lot of work on. He's suddenly become somewhat famous because Tucker Carlson had a guy on to call him a Satanist, but but he has done quite a bit of work on artificial intelligence and whether or not we could or should contain it at all. So if people are interested in reading thought on that, it's not an easy read, but I think it is probably the the most intelligent conversation having about or we're having about artificial intelligence right now.

Kellen (127:36)

I think the bigger focus should not be like how to like legislate artificial intelligence, but to make sure it truly benefits the general public.

Auron McIntyre (127:45)

No, that won't happen at all. I mean that's guardrails on it. So here's, here's what artificial intelligence is going to do. It's going to train. It's not. It's people think about artificial intelligence as if the worry is that it will achieve this like, you know, super Intelligence and it'll take over Skynet style. And that I'm not discounting that possibility. The real problem is that, that it's going to teach everyone to think like robots.

Kellen (128:06)

Sure.

Auron McIntyre (128:06)

Like I was a public school teacher until just a few years ago. I can already tell you that kids basically know nothing because of Google. They can't imagine getting information anywhere else. They can't imagine reasoning through something. Google just tells them what to believe. And if you don't think that artificial intelligence is just going to put us on like a bullet train to wherever that's going, then you're crazy.

Kellen (128:24)

My point was largely for like economical reasons. So like, like call centers, I mean they're in India anyway. But let's say there, there was American call centers or customer service help desk stuff which will get replaced by AI as we free up that money that were jobs. As it replaces jobs. I just want to make sure the public sees that benefit. You know, when Tesla Optimus rolls out and you have the AI powered robots doing your grocery shopping and they're working with another robot that's checking out, like those jobs are going to disappear and more jobs will be created. But I think that's, I think the focus is like, make sure AI benefits.

Auron McIntyre (128:57)

Middle class, but it'll do exactly the opposite. Because ultimately the whole point of this stuff, like is it's going to phase out all of these jobs. And this is why people will talk about UBI or these other things to supplement it. But the problem is human beings were designed to work. Like actually you can't just give people stuff and make them happy. You need purpose, you need toil, you need resistance. And like without that stuff, you're destroying the human being. So in a, in a very important way, automating all these functions that we currently find in some way distressing will actually make us less human and will actually destroy our happiness.

Tim Pool (129:30)

I am in favor of all this and my final thoughts before we wrap up for the show. I will also stress I'm very excited to have a nice beautiful sunset dinner with my wife and baby.

Auron McIntyre (129:39)

Nice.

Tim Pool (129:40)

And that's what we're doing. That's why one of the reasons we're prerecording, it's gonna be fun. But I'm gonna say this, conservatives rejoice. When we industrialized conservatives kept working out, they understood that humans need to exercise and that work is a requirement for the human body. I believe that as we enter the AI, the industrialization of information conservatives will still continue to work the mind, recognizing a healthy mind and body is a requirement. And I believe that their moral traditions and faith will keep them grounded and away from the temptations of masturbatory products like Neuralink, read, write, technology, weird porn stuff. No one will be immune. No one will be perfect. But the liberals, they're already getting fat. Once we took away the requirement to do hard labor, you got a bunch of people who are like, I'm not going to do hard labor anymore. Now they're all sickly and dying. You add AI to the mix, they're going to become ignorant, stupid and weak. But conservatives, I believe, will largely maintain the health requirements. That's why Maha is so popular. So the future maybe going to be like what? Like the, the time traveler. You know, you're going to have the super intelligent. There's going to be a bunch of like, what's the right way? A bunch of just really strong ripped dudes who are really smart with big pulsing brains and then a bunch of fat jiggly things that are real dumb, I suppose. But my friends, thanks for hanging out. We're wrapped up there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Tim Cast now. We may continue this trend into next Friday. We'll see how these things this, this show does. We'll see Community response those in the discord. I recommend you go to timcast.com click join us. Get in the discord because unity is our strength. As we've already seen and you already heard. Some people get married making real unity. But when you have a community, when you have shared values, that is extremely hard to destroy. And that's why they want to divide and conquer. Diversity may be their strength, but unity is ours. Join us@timcast.com and get the backstage access. We'll try it again next week. We'll see how things go. I really do appreciate all of you watching Arin. Do you want to shout anything out?
