II. Boulder Terror Attack and Immigration Policy

The episode opens with a harrowing account of a terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, where an Egyptian national, who had overstayed his U.S. visa, used a makeshift flamethrower to attack peaceful pro-Israeli protesters.

• Tim Pool [00:00]: "Donald Trump is slamming Joe Biden. The latest update, blaming him for his open border policy which allows these things to happen. And I, I think that's fair."

The discussion centers on Trump's vehement criticism of Biden's immigration policies, arguing that lax border controls have permitted dangerous individuals to remain in the country illegally.

• Tim Pool [08:46]: "Putting on a lot of Molotov cocktails, etc. The question is, how many people are committed to do this? The answer is 'too many.'"

Panelists debate the effectiveness of deportation strategies and the financial implications of incarcerating illegal immigrants.

• Phil Labonte [09:52]: "No, send them back."

III. Guest Spotlight: Stephen Horn and DOJ Prosecution

Stephen Horn, an ex-criminal and independent journalist, shares his experiences of being prosecuted by the Department of Justice for covering the January 6th events.

• Stephen Horn [05:12]: "I'm an ex-criminal. The Department of Justice went after me for covering January 6 as an independent journalist."

Horn details how the prosecution denied him the opportunity to present exculpatory evidence, leading to a conviction that he views as unjust.

• Stephen Horn [06:08]: "So I testified and I told my whole story why I was there... but they wouldn't let me... present that as evidence."

IV. Trump's Conspiracy Theories: Biden as a Robot Clone

A significant portion of the episode examines Trump's propagation of the baseless conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden is a robotic clone.

Panelists debate the motivations behind these pullbacks, discussing potential underlying biases and societal impacts.

• Shane Cashman [30:28]: "I agree."

VI. Nate Silver's Findings on Mental Health and Political Affiliation

Nate Silver's research is highlighted, revealing a correlation between self-reported mental health and political leanings—individuals reporting lower mental health are more likely to identify as Democrats, while those with higher mental health scores tend to lean conservative.

Transcript

[Tim Pool]

This past weekend, there was a terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, where a man screaming free Palestine used what is reported to be a makeshift flamethrower. I don't know if that is in the photos. You can see him with a Molotov cocktail. He used this to immolate pro Israeli protesters. And I don't, I don't know if that's the right way to describe it. They were protesters, sort of. They were marching peacefully to bring awareness to the hostages that were taken from Israel by Hamas. And this man, who was not American, he was Egyptian, and overstayed his visa, illegally set them ablaze. He was charged with murder. So we haven't, I don't believe we've gotten the official word yet on the, on what's, you know, the condition of the victims. But I suppose if they're charging him with murder, it means at least one of these individuals has died, and so he immolated them. Trump is slamming Joe Biden. The latest update, blaming him for his open border policy which allows these things to happen. And I, I think that's fair. Now, this guy didn't cross the border. Border illegally. He came here legally, overstayed his visa, petitioned the Biden administration, and he was given a work permit. They allowed him to stay. And this is the problem right now. The question is, will Trump to be able to, will his administration be able to deport as many people as they say they need to? Now, on top of that, Donald Trump has reportedly claimed that Joe Biden is a robot. I'm, I'm not kidding. The New York Times is reporting that Donald Trump is advancing the claim that Joe Biden was taken out in 2020 and replaced by a robot. Of course, for those of you that, that live on the Internet like we do, you know, this is the by Dan conspiracy theory, sort of. There's the Biden by Dan conspiracy theory that claims that Joe Biden, the actual guy from 10 years ago, was replaced by somebody else. We got photos, although I think it's silly and there's a bunch of other stories we'll get to. Tinder is now implementing a height filter so women can filter out short guys. I know it's not the biggest story in the world, but it is funny. In all seriousness, no seriousness. Nate Silver has published the mental health disparity finding that those who self report low mental health tend to be Democrat and those who report high mental health tend to be conservative. I can't say anybody's surprised by that data because we've covered it before, but now we'll go over exactly why young men coordinate silver. Don't want to associate with Democrats. Could it be that they're mentally unwell? Before we get started, my friends, we got a great sponsor today. We've got bear skin. Yo. Check it out. I am wearing this bearskin right now.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, thank you for having me. I'm an ex criminal. The Department of Justice went after me for covering January 6 as an independent journalist. Thanks, President Trump for the pardon. Now my independent journalism is a little more parochial. I cover local news in the greater Triangle area of North Carolina with my publication, the Triangle Trumpet.

[Tim Pool]

And you're actually one of these people who was denied due process.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, yeah. It was going into the jury trial, I knew what the result was going to be, you know, just based on a D.C. jury and a D.C. judge and how they play the rules.

[Tim Pool]

The judge wouldn't let you introduce exculpatory evidence.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah. So, you know, I had the caption on the video I had posted from January six that night where I said I was there as a journalist, but they wouldn't let me, you know, present that as evidence to the jury because it was my own statement, which for some reason, that's. That's the rules.

[Tim Pool]

Why couldn't you, like, did you testify in your own defense?

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, So I testified and I told my whole story why I was there, my history of past journalism prior to January 6th.

[Tim Pool]

But you couldn't mention that when you were there and you posted the video, it said this is for journalistic endeavors or whatever.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah. So we couldn't enter it in as an Item of evidence. I could say what I posted, but I couldn't actually show them the evidence of. Here's the caption on the video I posted.

[Tim Pool]

You know, I gotta be honest. You know what I do. I would have outright said that. I would have said the judge denied me from showing you the proof that I was there as a journalist and then let them declare a mistrial. And they can screw themselves. Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. We got a lot to talk about in this stuff, so it's great to have you. Shane's hanging out.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, Steven, it's great that you're here. I use your story a lot when I'm talking to people about how malicious the justice system was towards J6ers. And your story in particular is insane that they didn't allow you to use that stuff. So I hope we get into that a lot more. I am Shane Cashman. I do not need Donald Trump to tell me Joe Biden was a robot clone. I already knew that. Most of us knew that. I know Phil knew that. I am the host of Inverted World Live. Tonight, right after this show, we are doing our first Monday night broadcast at 10 o' clock. Join us. I will have Brandon with me. We're gonna talk about Joe Biden being a clone, which a lot of us did know. We're talking about aliens. Area 51 because it is our Sasquatch. It's our 51st episode, so congrats. 51.

[Phil Labonte]

Awesome.

[Shane Cashman]

Phil, how are you?

[Phil Labonte]

Hello, everybody. My name is Phil labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter revolutionary. So let's get into it.

[Tim Pool]

Here's a story from the post. Millennial Trump slams Biden's open border policy for allowing in Boulder terror attacks. Suspect quote. He came in through Biden's ridiculous open border policy, which has hurt our country so badly. So badly, he says. Let me. Let me pull up the full quote, actually, because it's cut off. Yesterday's horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado will not be tolerated in the United States of America. He came in through Biden's ridiculous open border policy, which has hurt our country so badly, he must go out. Under Trump policy, acts of terrorism will be prosecuted the full extent of the law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our borders secure and deport illegal anti American radicals from our homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy and the great people of Boulder. Now, the latest update is that this guy was charged with Murder. Implying that one of the individuals, he Immolated. That is the word. That's what he did. He set them aflame. The assumption is one of them has died. Now, apparently he had more than 14 more Molotov cocktails and was planning the attack. For over a year, these people had been marching peacefully through Boulder to raise awareness for the hostages taken from Israel. They weren't violent, they weren't screaming. They were marching. And they even stated that usually they ignored. If they ever came across someone screaming, free Palestine, they just did not respond because they were just trying to bring awareness. This guy shows up screaming, free Palestine. And he set. I believe there was an elderly man who was like 80 something years old, even children on fire. This guy did not cross the border illegally. He came here legally, and I believe a B1 or B2 visa, like a tourist visa, overstayed it. Applied for a work permit through the Biden administration. They knew he was illegal, they let him stay. And therein lies the problem. This is why we need law enforcement. This is why we need vetting. So this is what you get, and this is where we're at. Another question for you, I got for the panel is, of course, my position has largely been if an illegal immigrant commits a crime, just deport them, goodbye. Put them on a list. They can't come back. Secure the country. Don't let them come back. Secure our borders. I don't see why we should spend exorbitant amounts of money on criminal trials for people who weren't supposed to be here in the first place. And then we gotta pay to house them. We gotta pay for their security. That's right. The cops that come and the correctional officers that have them in sales have to secure them and keep them safe from other people who might wanna do them harm. Why should we spend all of that money? Honest question. What do you guys think? Should we.

[Phil Labonte]

No, send them back.

[Tim Pool]

Send them home.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Let's go. Bye.

[Shane Cashman]

The one reason I would say keep him just for a bit is to interrogate him. If they. To get answers, to know, like for the family, for the victims. You know, families. What was this guy doing? You know, we know, but there's some investigation they could probably do. But he shouldn't be here at all. I mean, he should just be gone.

[Tim Pool]

Fair point. Interrogate him to see if there's anybody else he was working with, who was he coordinating with, but I don't know. There's a lot of people, especially in the chat, that are saying he should get a full criminal trial. So that we can show everybody what he did, lock him up to make sure he never does it again. But then that logic. The challenge for me is this means that every single illegal immigrant that ever comes here, we have to pay for. To house. That's what they're trying. Many of them are trying to do that.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, that's the problem. Because we'll just spend all that money on that. Hopefully, if there is a trial. I like to think it would prevent others from doing bad things, but I don't have faith in that either.

[Phil Labonte]

No, the point is all of. All of the threats you can imagine are already in the United States. Right. Like, this is. This is going to emerge, and this is going to continue unless we do deportations. 20 million people came over the border or something around there, came over the border from when Joe Biden took office until he got out. That is going to mean that there is some number larger than zero of people that are looking to do actual harm to the United States or willing to do harm that have brought their. The. The bigotries of the old country over here or are worried about the old country's war. So they're bringing here that stuff doesn't. Like, that's not America's concern, you know.

[Shane Cashman]

To El Salvador and just do zoom meetings with them.

[Phil Labonte]

No, no.

[Shane Cashman]

In the prison. They shouldn't even got the interrogation part. I mean, just.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, okay.

[Phil Labonte]

All right.

[Shane Cashman]

What is the deal? As best you can. Because I'm not even going to trust him, honestly. You know, like, as much as I'd like to see some answers, I don't think we'll get it.

[Phil Labonte]

So then don't even worry about it. Just ship them out. Yeah, we have to get rid of people. You have to get rid of a.

[Shane Cashman]

Lot of people for that.

[Phil Labonte]

And a lot of people. Again, the more difficult you make it for people to stay in the United States, the more people be like, I'm going to get out of here before it gets.

[Shane Cashman]

And maybe a problem with getting rid of him will do more. The consequences of people seeing someone just immediately disappearing will do crazy.

[Tim Pool]

ICE has been going to immigration courts and USCIS offices. And then when these illegal immigrants try and apply, the moment they're denied, they walk out the door and they get arrested.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, it's the smartest way to go about doing it.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

To be fair, I guess the counterargument is they'll just stop trying to apply legally. But if the issue is that they're here illegally and they're going to an immigration office as A last ditch effort to stay. It's not going to work. You shouldn't have been here and you're going to get arrested.

[Shane Cashman]

It's a mousetrap.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

And look, by any means necessary with these people, I think we got to get them out.

[Phil Labonte]

We don't even need to call it arrested. They're just taken into custody. There's no like we're, because we're just taking you to the airport to put you on a plane back, goodbye and back to wherever. It doesn't matter. There is, there is a credit card that can buy a plane ticket for anywhere in the world that the government has. They can go ahead and say, American, whatever airline, please remove this person, send them them back.

[Tim Pool]

I was talking to Tom Holman on the morning show last week and I, and, and you know, the subject was basically how they're, they're screaming about due process and I'm like, and I was, I was honored to get to tell the man himself this. The worst thing you are advocating for doing, Mr. Homan, is giving someone a ride home. Imagine a guy breaks into your house, he's rifling through your stuff, you get into a fight with him, tie him up and say, oh, I'm gonna drive you home. Where would you like to go? That's actually what we are doing with all these people. I think it is infinitely compassionate to some very evil people. That is the route we take.

[Stephen Horn]

I mean, I think the question of whether you keep someone in prison who has committed some crime in addition to crossing the border illegally is that if we look at the past administrations, the border has been like a sieve. If this gentleman is convicted of murder especially he'll be in prison. After Trump is in office, After Trump is out of office, we have no idea what the next administration will be like. If he's in an American prison, we know he's not wandering around in the American public. If we send him back, who knows whether he'll cross the border again.

[Tim Pool]

That's great logic. Hopefully we get a successor to Trump in some capacity. I mean, look, if in the next three years the Democrats ditch the far left and the party becomes like Tulsi Gabbard, I will be very, very happy. Because that means whoever wins, we're going to have some semblance of a let's secure the board. At the very least, you know, it won't be psychotic, weird, woke garbage. I doubt that's going to happen in four years. So hopefully we get someone like Trump who takes over or carries on that legacy. But That's a great point. That if we keep people like this in the country and then say JD Vance runs and loses, the next Democrat administration is going to let them all go.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And then some might argue, yes, but if we send him back to Egypt, the Democrats could reopen the border and he might come back. Well, I'd rather have him try and traverse 12,000 miles than 50 just walking.

[Shane Cashman]

Out of a jail.

[Tim Pool]

Exactly. Not zero miles. He's just here, never left.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep, send him back.

[Shane Cashman]

How many Molotov cocktails? How does he travel with all this stuff? That's a lot of Molotov cocktails just show up with.

[Tim Pool]

So I was asked today on the Green Room show the origin of the term Molotov cocktail, and I was 20% correct. So he fact checked was the Soviets were dropping cluster bombs on Finland and claiming they were dropping food, so they were called breadbaskets. And then the Finns started making cocktails to go along with the bread. So Molotov was the guy who was claiming it was food.

[Shane Cashman]

Wow.

[Tim Pool]

They said, here's Molotov's cocktails. They started throwing fire bombs.

[Phil Labonte]

Wow.

[Shane Cashman]

Wow.

[Tim Pool]

It's like. Did no one think to make one of these devices before that?

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I mean, like there was Greek fire, so they like, they've been.

[Tim Pool]

Do we know what that is yet?

[Phil Labonte]

I don't know for sure.

[Tim Pool]

You should know this.

[Shane Cashman]

I know, I'm married to a Greek. I don't know though.

[Phil Labonte]

But you know the boats they used, so it's basically a. Oh, okay, okay. Flamethrower. And the Greeks had like boats that were equipped with flamethrowers and they could, you know, smoke other boats.

[Tim Pool]

And we don't necessarily know how they did it.

[Shane Cashman]

Lost technology. Interesting.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, it's not all that complicated, I imagine.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Throwing fuel or napalm.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah. So I believe the Molotov cocktails, I thought that was Pre World War II, not Cold War. So that was, you know, sort of the era when, you know, sort of gasoline based vehicles were becoming more common, which is, you know, probably when they, they started realizing they could set vehicles on fire with it.

[Tim Pool]

Wow. Yeah, I think you're right. I think it was, it was what, 30s, 39. Yeah. So no, so it was during World War II. It was Viashel Slav. Vyashaslav Molotov was one of the architects of the Molotov ribbon trot pact on the eve of World War II. And he was producing propaganda claiming that they were sending food, airborne food deliveries, but they were cluster bombs, so they said here's, you know, a Molotov cocktail to go along with your bread basket.

[Shane Cashman]

I remember someone throwing a Molotov cocktail into a building down the street from us in Brooklyn. Like 2015, and just one Molotov cocktail. 20. Yeah, maybe 2016. One Molotov cocktail did a lot of damage.

[Phil Labonte]

Wow.

[Shane Cashman]

They're no joke. Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Could you imagine? That's your legacy, like your name, and then people make firebombs named after you. Now it's just we call them Molotovs.

[Shane Cashman]

Great branding.

[Tim Pool]

That's. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

And you think that it might be someone that was actually an anarchist or something like that, considering the association. But it's one of them. Was. It was a fascist, you know, some of some sort.

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

All right, we got this next story. Let's go to the New York Times. Ladies and gentlemen, huge news. Trump amplifies another outlandish conspiracy theory. Biden is a robotic clone. President Trump posted another user's false claim that the former president had been executed in 2020 and replaced by a robotic clone. I don't think Trump is serious when he posts these things. He's goofing off. You know, it's. It's. It's remarkable. I. I'm not going to get into it just now. Maybe we can talk about later. But, you know, Glenn Greenwald had that video leak, and I was sitting here before the show with Kellen, and then I was like, who even. Like, what do you mean? What. What do I even say about that? I don't even care. So I tweeted Glenn Greenwald as gay, question mark, question mark. You know, as like, that was the joke. Come on, who doesn't know that? And tons of these people took it seriously. They were like, you didn't know that Donald Trump does not think that Joe Biden is actually a robot clone?

[Shane Cashman]

I don't know, man. I mean, the only thing outlandish about this is that it's 2020. I think it was probably way before.

[Tim Pool]

2020, to be fair. What does Trump know about our ability to make robot clones?

[Shane Cashman]

Look at those years.

[Tim Pool]

So this is the old Biden by Dan conspiracy theory. You can see it's all grainy because, like, I can't find this anymore.

[Phil Labonte]

They really had to pull that skin tight if that's not, you know, if it's not a robot. But it does look like a, you know, the 2021. Biden definitely looks like he's a skull.

[Tim Pool]

If he was. If he was a robot, he wouldn't be stuttering and falling apart unless they.

[Shane Cashman]

Built the robot to look like an old, deteriorating man because someone on Twitter shared this great video side by side of Optimus walking and Biden walking, and it's very similar. Well, it doesn't take much to throw some skin on one of these robots. The CIA has been making amazing skin masks forever.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

So throw one of those on a robot like in.

[Tim Pool]

In Mission Impossible.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Here's what they say. They say President Trump shared an outlandish conspiracy theory on social media on Saturday night, saying former President Joe Biden had been executed in 2020 and replaced by a robotic clone. The latest example of the President amplifying dark, false material to his millions of followers. Mr. Trump reposted a fringe rant from another user had made on the President's social media platform, Truth social, just after 10pm on Saturday. The White House did not respond to requests. Bro, I know exactly what Trump is doing. Like, me and the boys right at the bar and we're chilling, and then someone's like, hey, hey, look at this. And they text me something, and then I laugh and I hit retweet. And that's. That's what Trump. Trump's hanging out with the buddies, and they're having a cigar or something, and he's like, hey, how many of you want to see me send this tweet and make other media go crazy? And they're like, do it, Trump.

[Phil Labonte]

You got to do it.

[Shane Cashman]

Or he has key intel. How many. How many different Bidens did we see through those four years? There was a lot. There were green screen Bidens. There were, like, deep fake Bidens. He looked cut. Biden's robot Biden.

[Phil Labonte]

He looked like a. Like a skeleton for the entire time of his pregnant presidency.

[Tim Pool]

Pregnancy.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

From his artificial womb as a clone.

[Phil Labonte]

But he didn't. I mean, there's a remarkable difference between Vice President Biden and. Oh, yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Oh, yeah. Even 80s Biden, 90s Biden from to vice president.

[Phil Labonte]

I feel like the vice. When Vice President Biden was vice president, like that. That was when he really. He still had, like, the. The features that he had when he was 70s and 80s. I really do feel like. Like it was 2020 is when he was a totally different animal. I feel like he. Like when he. He was like, no, I'm not gonna run for president, and kind of chilled out and went into hiding or whatever. Like, he got and came back as, like, bionic.

[Shane Cashman]

Biden was hopped up on tons of drugs.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean.

[Shane Cashman]

I mean, he was obviously a mess. He couldn't talk.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. But I'm talking about like the. The facial.

[Shane Cashman]

In the face. Yeah. And the face was. He was melting.

[Tim Pool]

Well, so this is where he was stretched back.

[Phil Labonte]

Not melting.

[Tim Pool]

He was melting.

[Shane Cashman]

And then they were stretching him. He was melting.

[Tim Pool]

Here's what people said. If you take a look at B. Biden's ears in 2008.

[Shane Cashman]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

You can see he's got unattached loes, you know, a little floppy piece of the ear. And then by in 2021, it's an attached lobe. And so they're saying nothing could do that. Well, to be fair, stretching his skin back real tight for a facelift, I think could do that. Right.

[Shane Cashman]

I don't know. I think that's a little weird. That's some extra work.

[Tim Pool]

It does. It does look like a different person, to be honest.

[Phil Labonte]

Like, it does.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Stephen Horn]

Look sag as they get older, they said.

[Shane Cashman]

But do their ears attached all of a sudden.

[Phil Labonte]

But like Joe Biden in 2021 doesn't look like he's sagging. It's all pulled back. Like he looks more like a cartoon skull.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

You know?

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Like he. If you just painted his head red, he would look just like the skull from. From was Iron Man. Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

No, this is the post.

[Tim Pool]

Okay. So actually, let me. Let me just do this. Here's Donald Trump's Truth Social account. And you can see he's just retruth this without saying anything else. And you click it. This user says, there is no Joe Biden executed in 2020. Biden clones, doubles and robotic engineered soulless, mindless entities are what you see. Democrats don't know the difference. And then it's quoting a Q post that is the Babylon Be Biden family worried they may be running out of time to exploit Joe Biden self. Now let's just try this. How much do you want to bet Trump shared this? Because it's a Babylon Be satirical post that was making fun of it and he just saw this and. And he just hit repost.

[Shane Cashman]

Fair point. But I also should say then how much distance is usually between a Babylon BE article and a not to be article? Because this could become true real soon.

[Tim Pool]

Well, Babylon Bee is prophetic.

[Phil Labonte]

And the whole, the whole point of not the be is like, no, these sound like Babylon beasts.

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Phil Labonte]

But they're not.

[Shane Cashman]

We get the joke first, but all of a sudden the real stuff comes out right away. Reporting on it. I think we're going to find out. You imagine how president the whole time fake Oval Office.

[Phil Labonte]

He did.

[Shane Cashman]

We talked about the green screen thing with the Boom mic. That still weirds me out where his hand went through the mic.

[Tim Pool]

He has went through the mic.

[Shane Cashman]

That was weird. There's a whole network of fake Bidens that. It was like an illusion.

[Tim Pool]

Guys, I, I, I, I can't keep this up. I can't keep it up. Guys, I, I, I just can't keep it up. I'm, I'm, I'm so over it. Listen, everybody at home, this is all scripted. Biden's not real. Trump's not real. All of us, including Trump and Biden, we're all cast by the CIA. The true government's been in control the whole time.

[Phil Labonte]

Do you see the CIA's got a new renewed presence on X now.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, yeah, yeah. There's like, funny thing, the funny thing is that I make that joke, but someone out there is sitting there believing it.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And you know, that's what I'm really worried about when it comes to, like, security threats. Someone out there is going to genuinely believe. I was serious. That we're all actors and Trump's not real. And. Come on, Trump's a reality TV guy. Yeah. The CIA came to all of us and said we're going to cast him as the president. Him as the real president. You know, his name is.

[Stephen Horn]

No.

[Tim Pool]

Edward Schmidt.

[Shane Cashman]

No, I thought you're saying Elvis Presley.

[Tim Pool]

Elvis Presley.

[Phil Labonte]

The person.

[Shane Cashman]

A good theory.

[Phil Labonte]

The person you do have to worry about is probably Canadian too.

[Shane Cashman]

You got to worry about them.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Trudeau is the real president, so that.

[Shane Cashman]

Means the real president.

[Phil Labonte]

He's definitely interesting.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. This is just the third casting of Biden because it's a show, at least tv, third episode. You don't really believe what you see on the tv, do you? Come on.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't believe anything I see on the Internet.

[Tim Pool]

That's right. So when they say Trump's the president, I'm like, just the Internet again.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, it all is just the Internet.

[Shane Cashman]

Fair, Fair point, though. Anyone out there should read the book Weird Scenes From Laurel Canyon, which does talk about the CIA infiltrating different subcultures and putting actors in to certain places to do their bidding.

[Tim Pool]

Well, there's a, there's a new conspiracy theory about. In the Diddy trial, some woman came out and said that she helped Mike Myers meet with the CIA or something and liaised for, like, government projects. And everybody's going nuts being like, whoa, how many of these celebrities are CIA? If you Google search. Mike Myers, CIA, he went and did a tour of the CIA headquarters in 2008. It was all Public. There's pictures. He waved and he said that he was a fan of those who were providing a service for this country or something. I don't think if he was actually working for the CIA, he'd have done that.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. No, in Laurel Canyon, the book talks about how there was the Mountain Look Observatory, which Jared Leto owned, I think, most recently, and they filmed, like, at least 50,000 propaganda films there with a bunch of, like, Hollywood stars for the government. The other theory is that the moon landing was filmed there. I don't. I won't go that far. I think it may be filmed elsewhere, but that observatory. I won't go that far to him. But the Mount.

[Phil Labonte]

Look, Observatory is not sure exists. Right.

[Shane Cashman]

Moon is a thing. It's just not. Might not be what we think it is.

[Tim Pool]

Okay, you think it's a space station?

[Shane Cashman]

It could be. Very well a space station, because when.

[Tim Pool]

When they hit it, it rang like a bell.

[Shane Cashman]

Yes. Yeah. Or it's plasma. I don't know. I haven't been there.

[Tim Pool]

Did you guys see the video of the people who thought the sun was a strange object?

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes people see things. It was. It was like a red orb, and they were like, what is this?

[Tim Pool]

I went out for a peanut butter sundae last night.

[Phil Labonte]

Sounds great job.

[Tim Pool]

Jumped in my cybertruck, rolled down the windows. I was blasting. What kind. What music was I blasting? I think it was Seal Kiss from a Rose or something like that. Full volume. Nope, nope, nope. It was npr. Yeah, I was an npr. You got it. You got to listen to NPR because you got to know what the crackpots are saying. And as I was driving, because it's only about 10 minutes to the local ice cream place, I looked up at the sun and I was like, wow, there's a haze. And so you could actually just see the sun without hurting your eyes. And it was red. And I was like, cool. And I know that there's the wildfires in Canada and stuff, so this was expected, but there's a bunch of videos from people who are like, what is that? And they're pointing the cameras at the sun.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And they think there's a gigantic Nibiru, or Planet X, which is possible.

[Shane Cashman]

But it wasn't that, because I saw this on last night, too. Setting after we did our last inverted world live on Sunday. It was a weird red orb.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. It's just. There's haze in the sky.

[Shane Cashman]

It happens. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

So it's blocking a lot of the light. And you can look at it, or.

[Shane Cashman]

Bill Gates is replacing the sun? I don't know.

[Tim Pool]

Well, he. They. They wanted to do. They want to do. They wanted to put dust in the sky to reduce the penetration of solar radiation.

[Shane Cashman]

Bill Gates wants his Scope X plus to fill the sky with dust to reverse climate change, which is like, he.

[Phil Labonte]

Really does want to do that, too. That's. That's. Yeah. Like, there. It's not like, just. Just rumor.

[Shane Cashman]

Like, there's people trying it right now.

[Phil Labonte]

I think in Washington, UK actually passed legislation about it about blocking a certain amount of sun.

[Tim Pool]

Not a good idea. You know the saying of all the. Of all places, the saying is, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become Mr. Burns.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Stephen Horn]

I don't see how that's not like eco terrorism. Like, you just do that. I don't know.

[Shane Cashman]

He is an eco terrorist.

[Tim Pool]

The problem the Simpsons had is that they made Mr. Burns sound devious and mischievous and, oh, Smithers, we're going to black out the sun. Like, like there was some strength when it should have been more like Bill Gates. Like, well, you know, actually, I think if we put a big disc and block the sun a bit, it might reduce temperatures. And you're like, oh, yep, you know, they had that on some episodes. But that's not. Mr. Burns.

[Phil Labonte]

Such a terrible idea, too.

[Tim Pool]

Well, it's funny. I do love how Greta Thunberg is no longer all about the climate. She's all about Gaza rebrand.

[Shane Cashman]

Everyone's got a rebrand.

[Phil Labonte]

That's the new thing.

[Shane Cashman]

Pivot sender. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

She's like, dealing with her agent and they're like, look, climate is out. Gaza is in. You got to pivot, Greta.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And she was like, are you sure I don't know nothing about Gaza? And they're like, just say whatever. People believe it.

[Shane Cashman]

Here's a rocket launcher in a boat.

[Tim Pool]

All right, we got another story. Ladies and gentlemen, this is huge news. You may have noticed it is Pride month. It is June 2nd, and guess what CNN is calling it. Big brands are pulling back on Pride merchandise and events this year. That's right. For the last several years, Pride Month was a splashy marketing event for big brands. Stores adorned windows with rainbow flags, LGBTQ themed T shirts, and mugs. Not anymore. Companies are trading lightly. Look at this. They even say Bud Light and Target. Let me tell you this. When I walk into Target, there's usually a few things that I want to get. I want to check the collectible card section, because sometimes. Check this out. Depending on where you are in the country, an old Target or Walmart might have extremely rare Pokemon cards or Magic the Gathering that are like no joke. My buddy went to a store and There were like 10 year old cards sitting there for like 50 bucks that were actually worth hundreds of dollars. But I digress. I don't want to see weird gay stuff like tuck friendly bathing suits and when I buy beer. I want to make crude off color jokes with my friends, not be lectured by a man who thinks he's a woman. Naturally this cost a lot of money to these brands and they're all panicking now. And asmongold had a great video where he started pulling up all these different corporations and none of them changed their logos because get well go broke. Everybody said no way. Now despite all that there is still a concern. They're hiding their wokeness. They're still running these policies behind the scenes. They're just trying to pretend like it's not actually happening. But I think it's a big win.

[Shane Cashman]

I agree.

[Phil Labonte]

I think that there's probably going to be need to be legislation or not legislation. There's probably going to be people suing about the, the I lost what I had, what I was going to say just happened again.

[Tim Pool]

Suing about something related to Pride Month.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, it's suing about DEI hires and yeah, like suing to see if, if they're actually gonna be able to keep the people out.

[Tim Pool]

Keep what people out?

[Phil Labonte]

People like DEI hires.

[Shane Cashman]

Well, I'm lost but like that's in the government, right? You're talking about like in Target.

[Phil Labonte]

No, they're, they're, they're not going to be able to like unless you sue over civil rights laws saying look this is illegal to not hire me or whatever. There's not going to be any kind of significant change. There has to be a, a resulting issue for the, the corporations.

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Phil Labonte]

Like they're going to try to just, just say oh no, we're not, we're not doing this anymore. But they're putting, moving people around. They're not actually saying, they're not actually changing policy.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. And they're changing the DEI label in a lot of these corporations. Right. Like I've seen that floating around. Like they stop calling it and they've used some new words, right. Like UFO to uap. All these things they keep rebranding.

[Tim Pool]

That was the worst. Uap. What is that? Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, yeah, but they've changed it. Anomalous. Yeah, I think it was Ariel. Then it went to anomalous because in the water now. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

[Tim Pool]

Ufo.

[Shane Cashman]

But they're Doing a D I too, which is. I think you're right, Tim, that they're just reshuffling. It looks good on the outside that, that they've stopped doing this, but that's all they do. This is just Marxist stuff. They're rebranding and finding new ways to pump the evil in.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, yeah.

[Stephen Horn]

I think that's the question is why did they do it in the first place? Were they just responding to market trends or are they genuinely captured by these leftist ideologies? And I think I'm not so sure about the corporations, but the universities, definitely they were doing this because they believed in it. You know, there is just a video out of, you know, UNC where they're like, these are the new words we're using to do exactly the same thing we are doing under dei. And you know, people have pulled the statistics from, you know, the, the, like the incoming classes after the SCOTUS rulings about, you know, Harvard and UNC and a lot of the schools, they're still doing dei, they're still doing affirmative action, even if they have to call it by another name or find some way to get around the law.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I mean, it's like I said, they're going to continue to look for ways to get out, get around the law, and, you know, probably going to take legislation to, or, you know, suing to under civil rights law to get.

[Tim Pool]

Them to change, you know. You know what's funny is that Bud Light could have pulled off a successful LGBTQ Pride Month promo if they did not use Dylan Mulvaney. If they just did like a RuPaul's Drag Race thing, nobody would have cared. Conservatives would have been like, cringe. But RuPaul's Drag Race has been on TV for like 15, 20 years or some. Some. So it's like, it's not shocking to anybody, but Dylan Mulvaney is particularly offensive.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

To so many people. I, I gotta hand it to Tick Tock. Right. Their promotion of the absolute, like craziest content resulted in someone like Dylan Mulvaney being able to trick people into thinking that this, that they're popular. And so this millennial woman at Bud Light is like, Dylan Mulvaney's popular. No. See, if you're ever wondering when I, when I always talk bad about TikTok and I say they're promoting crackpot garbage that people don't like and it's messing with our kids brains, you need, you need only look at the disparity between the popularity of Dylan Mulvaney on TikTok and the promotion of Dylan Mulvaney. And what actually happened when a brand tried to hire Dylan Mulvaney, it destroyed the company. I mean, Bud Lights never recovered. Then that cr. It's been two years.

[Shane Cashman]

It tried.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, but I mean, I mean, I.

[Shane Cashman]

Had the Post Malone rebrand stuff and.

[Tim Pool]

And, and I think was what Shane Gillis and Rogan and ufc doesn't matter. That money never came back.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, probably not. But the. I think that part of the reason why Dylan Mulvaney was so radioactive to that brand is because of what the brand was prior to Dylan Mulvaney. Right. Like Dylan Mulvaney doing something. Something for someone else wouldn't have the kind of, you know, crushing effect.

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Phil Labonte]

Because, you know, we all talked about it like, oh, you're at. You're at the bar with your friends or whatever, and. And it's like, oh, you're ordering Bud Light, huh? And it's like the Joker is. Is there. Oh, you're getting the gay one, huh?

[Tim Pool]

You know, to be fair, I cannot for life of me understand how anybody on the east coast would order a Bud Light when they got Yingling out here.

[Shane Cashman]

Exactly.

[Tim Pool]

It is. I mean, that's.

[Shane Cashman]

I never ever. I mean, I drink so rarely, but when I had beers, it was Yingling. Oldest beer in the country, I believe.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. I just.

[Shane Cashman]

It's great.

[Tim Pool]

And it's, it's. It's on the East Coast. I get it. Not everywhere on the East Coast.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I just don't understand why anybody would drink Bud Light.

[Shane Cashman]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

Like. Okay, I'm going to say this right now. Big, big fan of ufc. I know they got sponsored by Bud Light. Don't really care. That's cool. But Bud Light is just not beer.

[Shane Cashman]

I don't know, it's just the England's more patriotic too. Isn't there an eagle on the thing?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. And when this happened, they put out like a big Pro America statement advertisement.

[Shane Cashman]

Oh, funny.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. They know what's up.

[Shane Cashman]

And remember the, the lady who was running the ads for Bud Light? Her videos were coming out and she was saying like just terrible things. I forget exactly what it was. Remember she got fired for what she did for bring Dylan Mulvaney on. She got hired somewhere else. Ridiculous.

[Tim Pool]

Really?

[Shane Cashman]

I don't remember that one.

[Phil Labonte]

When the Moore family dished cable Internet.

[Shane Cashman]

And switched to Sidly Fiber, they got so much more. Mr. Moore got more upload speed for.

[Phil Labonte]

Next level gaming and live streaming to the masses with. With reliable service, Mrs. Moore is no.

[Shane Cashman]

Longer her family's IT guru.

[Phil Labonte]

Leaving her more time to stream games into overtime. Let's go. And young Mason Moore got more done.

[Shane Cashman]

Quickly uploading HD product demos and video conferencing without freezing.

[Tim Pool]

The numbers look good.

[Shane Cashman]

Brad, you're on mute. Switch from cable Internet to Zibli Fiber and get more of what you love for $65 less per month than [e-mail] where I feel like some sports place took her on to do their ad. Do their ads.

[Tim Pool]

I was talking to this liberal woman last Friday, and she was saying that the left won the culture war in the mid-2010s or the early 2010s, largely by just removing conservatives. I think she's right. I think the cancel culture and woke left domination of institutions resulted. Resulted in them just shoveling people under the rug. If a conservative said something like, hey, I don't like this under the rug, what ends up happening? You get a weird marketing campaign, they think it's popular, and then the actual backlash occurs. Because censoring people, we always say this. You're not shutting down their speech. You're not. You're not stopping their ideas. You're just shuffling them to the corner where no one can see them. But they still exist. They'll still have an impact. And what ends up happening is they played themselves. They could not tell how many people truly hated this stuff because the institution censored them all. So when they went on social media, all they saw was pro LGBTQ stuff. Said, this is what people like not realizing. Most people didn't like it. They were just silenced.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, you kind of made that point or proved that point when it. When it came to the Rogan interview. Like, when you're talking to what's her name, the, well, Twitter people. And you're like, look, you guys are the ones that are. That are deciding what is and is not, you know, okay. You're the ones that are ideological about it.

[Tim Pool]

The one area where I stump them was when I said, you are biased. They said, no, we're not. It was Jack Dorsey. And I said, you have a misgendering policy. Conservatives think misgendering is to call a man a woman or a woman a man. And liberals think misgendering someone is when you don't call them what they want to be called. That's two distinct worldviews. You've chosen only one of them and then banned anybody else. That is absolute bias against, you know, conservatives. And they were, you know, Jack was kind of like, oh, like, he kind of realized that, like, oh, yeah, yeah. You know, you can't deny conservatives don't agree with your view. You're banning them, right? Okay, great. That means you've chosen one worldview. But I've long described it like this. I, I long said that it was benefiting the right because I was like, imagine there's a mom and she's got two kids with her two little boys. One is covered in chocolate, his hands are all messy and he's filthy and his hair's all messed up and he's wild and crazy. And the other one is looking prim and proper with a nice little suit and clean on the surface. You look at him and you go, that kid's clearly, you know, more well mannered. And that messy kid, man. Oof. That kid's got bad attitude. Turns out, nope. They're either just as bad as each other or one's worse. But mom doesn't let the clean kid have any ice cream at all, so the kid can't get dirty because the mom's very strict with him. What was happening is that social media was banning all of the, the fringe elements of the right, making the right look sane and rational and letting the left go nuts and bash their faces on the table. And now people are like, I don't want to associate with that.

[Phil Labonte]

And get more and more extreme over the years. Like, the message that came from the far left filtered into the kind of the, you know, normie left. And that's when things get real weird.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. And there's still some corporations I saw today sharing pride stuff.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Like the New York Yankees, I believe, is one of them. I really, I know you're from New York.

[Phil Labonte]

I saw that. You know, I mean, I. Look, I'm a, I'm a Red Sox fan, so I'm sorry to hear that. Well, you know, I'm from Massachusetts in New England. Yeah, I know. So, yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Like, we got Johnny Damon. It was crazy.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. But I made a remark about the, the New York Yankees post about. With all the trans stuff and really just everything represented. They're just.

[Shane Cashman]

I have noticed it seems like there's, there's pockets of crazy places in West Virginia and they've almost doubled down on their pride stuff this year as opposed to last year. And there's people, there's more flags than I saw last year, really. You know, because there's little pockets around. Wasn't insane.

[Phil Labonte]

Didn't you feel like last year they really pulled back a lot? Because it was, it was.

[Shane Cashman]

I see a little bit. And I still think it's Too much.

[Phil Labonte]

That's fine.

[Shane Cashman]

A lot.

[Tim Pool]

Right now when I flew to la, IAD has a big progress Pride flag. IAD stand like right in the middle of the airport. That's federal. Like, why is Trump allowing this?

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

I. I think larger. Doesn't know.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, that's probably the case.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. I wonder. Is in control of the airport. It's like I assumed it would be federal for D.C. airport.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Well, was it IAD? No, that is Virginia.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. The, the, it's always going to be the, the owner of the airport is actually a private company. Then the regulations are all just set by the fa. Afa.

[Shane Cashman]

Right. You know, so they can do what they want. So Dylan Mulvaney's flying the planes now.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, man. All right, let's jump to this next story. Ladies and gentlemen, we got this tweet from Nate Silver. This will surprise no one. Nate Silver says, I think an underrated factor in the how can Democrats win back young men debate is the effects of personality, which differ especially among younger voters, are quite strongly correlated with voting preferences. And then he shows this higher self reported mental health correlates with conservative political views. Let me just slow down and say it in layman's terms. Sanity and conservatism overlap. Insanity and liberalism overlap. That is not my opinion. It's the data presented by the Cooperative election study of 2022. Get the data as republished by Nate Silver. Which shows the poorer the mental health state, the higher tendency towards liberalism, the stronger the self reported mental state, the higher reported connection with conservatism.

[Shane Cashman]

I mean, Clear as day.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. I mean, look, we've talked about these kind of things a lot around here. Like the, the fact that, you know, conservatives tend to be more capable of affecting the world and the left kind of tends to be more. I am, I'm affected by the world and I need community and blah, blah, blah in a, in a. In order to take care of myself. Whereas people on the right are just, you know, they're like, we're gonna. I can go out and fix this. I can go do this. And that's just kind of the, you know, these things are fairly obvious types of results.

[Shane Cashman]

Parents on the left are willing to mutilate their children. Yeah, that's insanity. Yeah, that's. And they call that health care.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, parents left, their kids watch Sesame street.

[Shane Cashman]

Also abuse. They're another one of those corporations, to be fair.

[Tim Pool]

You know, Sesame street did a Pride month thing and then I was like, not for my kid. And the left lost their mind.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, did you Get a lot of so mad. People were upset about how dare you.

[Shane Cashman]

Not like gay puppets.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. And I was just. I'm like, my kids aren't gonna watch it. And to be honest, I don't think my kids should be watching even old school Sesame Street.

[Shane Cashman]

Why?

[Tim Pool]

Because I don't want her to identify with a green monster lives in a garbage can. I think all that stuff.

[Shane Cashman]

Weird.

[Tim Pool]

I look back at not absolutely not to be absolutist, but most of humans grew up looking at their parents. There was no children's content. It didn't exist. So when you were a baby, you literally just saw your parents doing work and that's it. Like most of human existence, there's no schoolhouses. There's no dumbing down of anything to try and get a kid to learn it. It was literally just, the baby was there with mom, and then when the baby could walk, the baby was walking around, and then the baby wouldn't work with dad. We didn't have Sesame Street. We didn't have, you know, these weird. We have Dumbo. So, you know, I'm gonna limit all that weird, crazy stuff for my kid. So we're obviously gonna do math and reading and things like that, but I'm gonna stay away from the weird, cartoon, psycho children's content stuff.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, and the stuff. The stuff in the last 10 years has made it so every father is a bumbling fool. You know, the kids are rude to their parents. Like, we'll watch it. Let our kids watch. If they get to watch. We don't have the tv, but we'll give them, like, an iPad or something. They can watch stuff that's old. But there's so much stuff lately that is just. It's criminal that they let kids watch it.

[Tim Pool]

We had our first assassin with the baby today. First, she was assassin us.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, really?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. She's trying to suck her thumb.

[Shane Cashman]

Oh, yeah. He didn't.

[Tim Pool]

Like, we're not letting her.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And she started and then shoving and then, like, pulling her arm and then jamming her thumb in her mouth with an angry face.

[Shane Cashman]

It's a hard habit to make them quit. Yeah, yeah, we thought.

[Tim Pool]

We thought it was funny.

[Shane Cashman]

Baby sass.

[Tim Pool]

But that's. That's the thing, too. It's like, I don't want, like, human sass. You know, kids there, you got to give them discipline. They got to be taught things like that. So the last thing I'll do is put my kids in front of Sesame street or some other weird crackpot stuff that's going to cause weird mental instabilities as they get older and then turn them into liberals.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, I know, yeah.

[Stephen Horn]

And to sort of tie this issue back to one of the earlier stories in terms of immigration is that, you know, if you look at the children's content or the adult entertainment, it is so heavily captured by these leftist ideologies. If you look at the education system, also captured by these leftist ideologies. And those are two of the, you know, two of the main avenues of assimilation. I think that's one of the reason why the left is so big about immigration is because they have a greater influence on the, you know, second generation immigrants than they do of children, you know, of Americans who, you know, don't, don't see a need to assimilate to American culture because they are American culture. So there's less, you know, influence for the left there.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I do like how Nate Silver writes this like really long essay breaking down race and gender and explaining young men when it really is just simple as young guys don't, don't like crazy. You know, it's. They're sitting there saying like, there are. We talked about this on Friday with the culture episode. I recommend you guys check it out. Rumble.com Tim Pool or YouTube.com TimCast the first thing I do is I pulled up the Star Trek meme. There are four lights. And I'll tell you why young guys don't want to be associated with the left or the Democratic Party. It's because for those that don't know that scene, Captain Picard is captured by the enemy. The enemy general says, tell me, Captain Picard, how many lights do you see? And there's four. And he goes, four. And it gets electrocuted. And he says, I believe you're mistaken. There are five. Now tell me once again. And Picard refuses to give the false answer. The guy was trying to torture him into saying something that was not true and he wouldn't do it. And I think that's how young guys feel. They keep telling you something that is obviously false, fake, is real, and you have to admit it, otherwise pay the penalty. And young guys are just like, nope, not doing it.

[Shane Cashman]

Rather be exiled by that group than.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I mean, and young men are choosing that.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, right.

[Phil Labonte]

Like whether it be like the people that are feeling so isolated that they, you know, self harm or something like that, or the people that are just like, you know, I'm not going to even involve myself with trying to do normal things like have a girlfriend, have kids, have a normal life. Like that's really affecting the social situation for most young men.

[Shane Cashman]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

You know.

[Shane Cashman]

Oh, yeah, yeah. When we were still in New York, I saw a lot of parents who were raising their kids in very deranged ways. And it happens in small ways, too, just in terms of, like, language. They decide, you know, like, they are. There are some of those characters you see on Twitter. They're in real life when they're talking about, you know, gender and their children, all this stuff.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Then they get offended if I, like, you can feel the offense. Oh, I call my kid a him because he's a him, you know, and they're like, oh. And they're just like. You know, you could feel that tension with them because there's a lot of liberals where I was, even though I was outside of the city. And like. And. And now when I go back to New York, my kids reference the Bible. So now my kids to them are like, all right.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

They're like, oh, my goodness. Because I want to be in my kids to be enthusiastic about the things I'm enthusiastic about. So, you know, they're referencing the Bible, they're referencing my. My oldest is referencing the Odyssey. He, like, likes Greek mythology and stuff like that. So I'm trying not to get. Talking about how stuff.

[Tim Pool]

Joe Biden's a robot clone, fake clouds.

[Shane Cashman]

You know, all these things. The moon is a little dubious, whatever it is, for sure. These are the things you need to know. Dinosaurs. I'm not sure you'll know this when you have a kid. Yeah, you'll get. You have to be skeptical of homeschool program.

[Phil Labonte]

All of the stuff that you currently believe. You have to be skeptical and be skeptical.

[Shane Cashman]

Skepticism.

[Tim Pool]

There's. There's an important thing that kids need to learn, too, which is not the easy thing, but it's philosophy of knowledge. That is, if you get asked by anybody, but especially a child, how is it possible that all the dinosaurs died? And you've got to explain it to them. But what can you really do? You can say, here's what we. Here's what. I know what I was told. Let's look it up. But then really, you're just saying we read it in a book and we believe it.

[Shane Cashman]

Right. My kids got one book about dinosaurs, just a normal book. And even in that book, they talk about how a lot of early scientists or archaeologists were putting together bones the wrong way.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

So you're already. And I'm like, nice.

[Tim Pool]

Well, I love. Remember that part. I love. You ever see the image of the elephant they just. Someone wrote a letter describing an elephant and sent it back to Europe, and then they drew a picture of what they thought. They drew a picture of what it was described as in words. And it looks nothing like an elephant, actually. Let me. Let me see if I can find it.

[Shane Cashman]

I do want to say, you know, my son knows I'm very skeptical of robots.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

But shout out to him. He's always wanted to be a scientist. He told me just the other week, I'm going to. He said, I'm going to make a company that makes robots for dads who don't like robots.

[Tim Pool]

Check it out.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, wow.

[Tim Pool]

So they described an elephant and then sent a letter back to Europe, and then someone drew a picture of what they read, and that's what they saw in there. That's what they thought. Look at the feet.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I mean, it's. Yeah, the ref. It definitely has, like, horse, like.

[Tim Pool]

Right. You can kind of tell where they were going, but. Nah, you're wrong, dude.

[Phil Labonte]

She said what?

[Shane Cashman]

It's extinct. Oh, that was a thing? Well, we just don't have it anymore. And the people making the direwolves are going to bring it back.

[Tim Pool]

When they sent a sample. When they brought a sample of a platypus back to the. To Europe, they thought it was a joke.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I mean, a platypus really blows your mind when you, you know, how. What. How did.

[Tim Pool]

It's a duck and beaver at the same time.

[Phil Labonte]

And it's both a, you know, a bird and a mammal at the same time. It's. It's all weird. It's got poison. It's.

[Tim Pool]

It lays eggs.

[Phil Labonte]

It's weird.

[Tim Pool]

It's. It secretes milk. Yeah. It secretes milk greets milk. Yes.

[Shane Cashman]

It's a great example of God's humor.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Tim Pool]

Well, it was always funny. Remember that video of Kirk Cameron talking about evolution? It was. It was super viral, like 15, 20 years ago. And then he was like, if evolution is real, where's this? And it's just a picture of a duck with an alligator head. I remember watching that for the first time and I was just like, platypus.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, it's there.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Crazy, right?

[Shane Cashman]

Platypus is a crazy little monster.

[Tim Pool]

They're venomous, too.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. I don't understand. I didn't know that they know about the milk secretion.

[Phil Labonte]

They're venomous in their rear. Rear bills or flippers. There's a spike. That's poisonous. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Venomous.

[Phil Labonte]

Venomous, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Venomous.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. Distinction.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. It Is different. And the baby platypi lick the mom as she secretes milk.

[Shane Cashman]

An anomaly.

[Phil Labonte]

It's the weirdest.

[Shane Cashman]

Why do we have these things?

[Tim Pool]

They exist.

[Phil Labonte]

The only thing weirder is stuff like at the bottom of the ocean.

[Tim Pool]

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe Kirkham was wrong. Is that like he should have pointed that out and said, like, come on. Clearly evolution is bs. Look at this weird thing.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. This.

[Tim Pool]

How does that make sense?

[Shane Cashman]

It stopped. This came from nothing and it's turned into nothing.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

What are the evolutionary pressures that created the platypus?

[Phil Labonte]

Right. That's the man. Because there's got to be a reason for it. There's got to be something that. That gave an advantage to some kind of mutation.

[Shane Cashman]

Could be a leftover from a really old civilization that had technology and it survived.

[Phil Labonte]

Platypi.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. The platypi are from like an ancient technologically advanced civilization.

[Phil Labonte]

Why technologically?

[Shane Cashman]

Because they were doing like, bioengineering in their labs.

[Phil Labonte]

Yes.

[Shane Cashman]

You know.

[Phil Labonte]

Okay.

[Tim Pool]

In the bottom of their Zealand, specifically.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

That was, you know, where they're doing all these.

[Phil Labonte]

All right.

[Tim Pool]

That's why all the animals are weird.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Stephen Horn]

But why would. Why would it. Such an advanced civilization, create the platypus?

[Shane Cashman]

I don't know. We're doing it right now. We're doing it right now, actually.

[Phil Labonte]

Maybe it was solving that they. They had thousands of years ago.

[Shane Cashman]

We need something that's dangerous but also makes milk.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Some kind of.

[Shane Cashman]

It also looks hilarious. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Well, it's also a. What's the word? It can. It can. It can perceive electromagnetic fields.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Is any government for their defense yet?

[Phil Labonte]

So can buffalo. Right. Because they. They know to turn. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

[Tim Pool]

Electro magneto Reception.

[Stephen Horn]

I think there's quite a few sea creatures that can.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, that.

[Stephen Horn]

Other mammals.

[Phil Labonte]

That makes sense.

[Shane Cashman]

There's a report recently about scientists trying to decode dolphin language because they think it helped them talk to aliens. So they're doing this stuff and they're building weird chimeras in labs all around this country.

[Tim Pool]

Magnetoreception.

[Phil Labonte]

I just like, was just listening to a podcast and they were talking about chimeras. Two. Two different sets of DNA in the same creature. Creepy.

[Shane Cashman]

Dude. There's a guy in China who I think made people chimeras.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, really?

[Shane Cashman]

I'm pretty sure they're doing it here.

[Phil Labonte]

Christopher. Technology.

[Shane Cashman]

Exactly. Exactly. He went to jail, got out, and then recently said. I think it was recently said. Ethics is really holding back this.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, yeah, yeah, That's. That's why. Sweet. Hopefully that's why that's good. Like sometimes, you know, you don't need to be like, hey, we can do it. So let's just go ahead and do it. Human chime errors are definitely. It is something.

[Tim Pool]

It is electroreception that I was referring to, not magnetoreception.

[Shane Cashman]

Interesting.

[Tim Pool]

And it's, you know, you know, I forgot what the animal class. Echidnas, platypus. What's the name of their echinoderms? Is that. It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Surge with the great.

[Stephen Horn]

Have the capability to detect magnetic fields.

[Tim Pool]

Yes. Well actually. And if you surgically implant a magnet in your fingertips, you can actually sense. It's crazy. Yeah. It was a big trend like 15 years ago. A bunch of biohackers were getting their fingertips cut open. They would do one, they'd do like their middle finger and they would implant a neodymium magnet and then they would stitch it up and seal it. And then you could run your hand along the wall and you would feel electric electrical wires. So you knew where the cables were. And they described it as a unique sense unlike any other sense.

[Shane Cashman]

There are people right now implanting Tesla keys in their hands and. Yeah, yeah. And also getting all the bacteria in their mouth removed. Like weird biohacking stuff that's happening in some of these little private cities that the. The. Well, there's a democracy is building.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. There's a. People in South America are injecting themselves with genetic engineering stuff to stop their body from producing fat and only muscle. There's something about it where they were like when your body switches between muscle and fat production, it causes damage which causes aging. And if you turn off fat production, your body will maintain muscle production with. With less aging related damages, damage. And so their attitude was, we have more than enough food. We're not. We don't need our fat the way we used to. So let's just turn it off. And they injected themselves with like this close closed loop DNA, which it's not permanent. It they. They. As long as they keep injecting it, their body won't produce fat the same way or something like that.

[Shane Cashman]

Wow.

[Tim Pool]

Yup.

[Phil Labonte]

That's interesting.

[Tim Pool]

And they think they're going to live.

[Shane Cashman]

A lot longer because that's what there's those parabiosis studies that they were doing in Stanford and think in the 90s where they were selling the young mouse to the old mouse and the old mouse appeared to get younger because of the blood.

[Tim Pool]

It is young. Sick echinoderms are starfishes. Oh yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Also weird.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't I tried to Google that, but I couldn't spell it right. So.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, and then people took. People took those parabiosis studies with the mice and then turned it. You know, people like Brian Johnson, not the ACD Singer. The, the biohacker guy was injecting his, I believe his son's blood into him.

[Tim Pool]

Monotremes. Yeah, monotremes was the word. Crazy mammals that lay eggs and have electro. Location. That's crazy.

[Phil Labonte]

They have electrolocation.

[Tim Pool]

Yup. All right, well, speaking of evolution, here's a story from the New York Post. Tinder tests out new height filter to help people connect more intentionally. We know what they're doing. This is, this is short genocide.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, Shortman, you're done. It's over for you. It was over before because as soon as they found out how tall you were, but now they're not even going to let's.

[Tim Pool]

Moreover.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

[Tim Pool]

Moreover, they say is is the reign of the short king. Over on Tinder. The platform has been accused of super famous superficiality. Interesting. Out a new feature that allows users to screen potential matches based on height. This part of a broader effort to help people connect more intentionally on Tinder. The new vetting function which came to light via red other platforms is located in the discovery section. Blah, blah, blah. I don't care. The bigger complaint that I've heard is that trans women will list themselves as women on Tinder and there are a bunch of dudes on X being like, when you load up Tinder, you will actually, it'll show you dudes when you select for women. So what's to stop a guy from just putting in a lie? It's just so dumb. They're like, if you're short, it won't let you pop up. Okay, so they'll just go in their profile and lie about their height.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, you'd think that it. The simple answer would be obvious, but apparently it's not. I, all of the people that I saw, I tweeted about this and all the people that I saw responding, they were all just like, well, what about the weight filter for women? Which is, I mean, the obvious. You know, the obvious.

[Tim Pool]

I don't want any chunkers, you know, agree. Remember, Remember Homer had that shirt, no fat chicks. Well, he wanted that shirt. But of course that would be offensive. They wouldn't allow that.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, well, and I think anything the, the Tinder app does is inherently evil just because of their, their profit motive and their business model is to keep people on the app. So you know, yeah, they want the more superficiality the better because they don't want people forming genuine connections. They're in a long term relationship. They're not on Tinder.

[Tim Pool]

That sounds like an anti capitalist statement.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, I mean, I would be, you know, this sort of idea that you should, you can do whatever, you know, it takes to make money without any regard to morals. If that's anti capitalist, then sure, I'm anti capitalist, but I'm more anti communist than I am.

[Tim Pool]

That is the left argument, though. They misattribute corruption. They claim that capitalism and corruption are one and the same. Whereas most capitalists are like, no, you're talking about bad things we don't like. But I gotta say, I do think the laissez faire capitalists overlook stuff like this and they're very dumb. You know, like I'm pro tariff, not universal, blind blanket tariffs. But I think the American people can't compete with Chinese slave labor, Chinese peasant labor. Okay, let's be more factual. But there's these libertarians that are like, no, it's good, it's better that Chinese peasants are taking all the jobs and Americans are living in trailers and can't afford to buy food. So then we got to give them tax benefits and have them. Don't get that. I'm like, yeah, that's all really bad.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, capitalism only works with a moral foundation we don't have.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, that's true, but. Right, Yeah. I mean, the end result is just capitalism won't work then.

[Shane Cashman]

Right?

[Tim Pool]

Like pure laissez faire capitalism, I don't think, I think won't work because, and this is always the craziest argument that I hear from ancaps. It's like monopolies form evil. People motivated by evil things will make bad products that hurt people and they'll get away with it. And then I hear from libertarians and laissez faire guys that say if the product's hurting people, people stop buying it. And I'm like, then explain all the chemicals in our food. All the weird garbage that we know is causing problems that's still there. It's because the effects aren't immediate. So these companies get away with putting weird garbage in our food that we and our kids eat. It's causing generational diseases and chronic illness and nothing's nothing stopping it.

[Shane Cashman]

And the way you're describing Tinder is also as big Pharma's whole deal. Right. Just mask the problem. We don't want to cure anything. We don't want to give You a lasting, you know, cure with like a healthy relationship or actual cure to your disease. We want to keep you hooked onto this medicine forever.

[Phil Labonte]

That's why they endorse, you know, transitioning kids and, or young people because, oh, yeah, you know, they put them on a, on a drug regime for the rest of their lives.

[Shane Cashman]

Drug slaves.

[Phil Labonte]

So they love it. I wouldn't put it past them to. Or put it past a corporation to be like, you know what, Maybe we shouldn't, you know, connect people. Maybe, maybe it's better to, you know, have people kind of just kind of meet each other and hook up and then look for the next one. Which is really what Tinder does. Right. Like, for the most part, there are people that I'm sure that have, have decided to have some kind of relationship, but it really is about, you know, meeting someone and then hooking up and then moving on to the next one.

[Tim Pool]

Well, so they say. Meanwhile, regular tier users can already customize several preferences. Preferences within the discovery settings, including age range, sexual orientation, and distance. I, I'm, I'm curious. I, I don't, I, I'm married. I don't use Tinder. I've, I, I think, I honestly don't think I've ever actually used Tinder. I was on it maybe like 15 years ago. I don't think I ever actually used it. Like, I swiped on it and sent messages. I don't think I ever actually had a successful, like, connection or anything. But I don't know this. And I wonder, if you put your sexual orientation as, like a guy and you put straight, will it still send you trans women? Because the leftist argument is. But trans women are women.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, they might.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Stephen Horn]

Say your orientation to super straight.

[Phil Labonte]

Isn't that a bigoted or something like that? People are like, oh, you're a bigot if you say that. Just like everything else, I have to.

[Shane Cashman]

Just put bigot in the thing and see what happens.

[Phil Labonte]

But I do think that there are, if maybe not Tinder, but there are, you know, dating sites that you will connect a straight male with a trans woman, you know.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

And that's a recipe for disaster.

[Shane Cashman]

You know, I never did any of this stuff. The closest I ever came to it was Hot or not. Before. Before MySpace. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

That was like the first social network.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Hot or not.

[Shane Cashman]

Hot or Not. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

That was Facebook started out as right, wasn't it?

[Tim Pool]

No, no, no, no.

[Shane Cashman]

I think it was, it was like, it was an early social media, but it wasn't Facebook.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I think Facebook was inspired by it or something like that.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Okay. All right. That's what I thought. Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Because Zuckerberg made the Gen Z's.

[Tim Pool]

Gen Z and Gen Alpha are screwed.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Like, how. How are they gonna. So it was funny because I was reading some guy talking about this on X, where I saw the story he was mentioning, like, when, like, the glory days of early Tinder. You just went on there and swiped, and you'd have. You meet up with people. And then now it's all these filters and all of these weird 666 things from women. It's just. It's, it's. It's. It's impossible to use. Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe the whole thing just implodes on itself.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, that'd be good.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean.

[Tim Pool]

No, no, no. Guys are gonna go bang robots on the Internet.

[Shane Cashman]

I was just gonna say there's probably gonna be robots on Tinder soon. That's how they. They train them, send them out into the real world.

[Tim Pool]

Man, it's so crazy, because I remember when the AI women started popping up on Instagram and you could still kind of tell it was AI, but you can't tell anymore.

[Phil Labonte]

Really? Yeah, they're actually replying in context of the picture or.

[Tim Pool]

What do you. What do you mean?

[Phil Labonte]

They. When they reply, the original AI women were like.

[Tim Pool]

You could see, like, the weird hands and stuff.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, oh, okay. I thought you were talking about AI accounts that will actually reply to.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, no, I'm talking about, like, you'd open Instagram, maybe swiping, and Instagram would send you a recommendation of an AI woman, and you're like, that's not a real person.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

But now you can't tell. Yeah. And then they have AI bots who respond, and then dudes are sending them money.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

At least it'll put an end to women in the workplace, because only fans.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Put an end to women in that particular workplace.

[Tim Pool]

No, no, let's. Let's get serious. Any job or related to management, organization, or creativity will be taken over by AI.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

This means that when it comes to labor, this is where there's still going to be a requirement for. There's still going to be a need for jobs to a certain degree. You go to any company, it's like, do you want the average woman or the average man? Average man's gonna win. Every single time you have a job that does sales and management and things like this, it's gonna be like, hey, I can do it. You don't need people for these Jobs anymore that are like, white collar jobs are gone.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. Just Yesterday, the anthropic CEO said 50% of white collar jobs will be gone soon.

[Tim Pool]

And you don't need. And women can't do porn anymore because the robots will just make it.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. They're gonna do everything. There's robots building robots.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

So you can't even get a job to build a robot.

[Phil Labonte]

No. And the. The Optimus robot wants those actually can be, you know, put out into the. Into the wild and be autonomous. They're going to be able to do everything that humans can do. The world is designed for humans.

[Tim Pool]

Biden was just the Optimus 2.0 alpha model.

[Shane Cashman]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

You know, with the skin suit on. That's why he walks like that.

[Shane Cashman]

Exactly. Yep.

[Tim Pool]

So. So we got robot presidents.

[Shane Cashman]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

I mean, according to Trump, they're going to. YouTube's going to put a Wikipedia tag on this video, being like, Biden is not a robot.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Well, I mean, what a stupid.

[Tim Pool]

Could you imagine if you're watching Fox News and, like your cable provider, like, put a thing on the screen saying, like, they're wrong. That's just the weirdest thing ever.

[Shane Cashman]

Just makes it sound like it's more right than it is. Then, like, oh, yeah. Why do you feel the need to do this?

[Tim Pool]

You see the Babylon B article about Epstein?

[Shane Cashman]

No.

[Tim Pool]

Said FBI confirms Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, proving once and for all that Epstein did not kill himself. That was good.

[Shane Cashman]

No, the robots are coming. They're getting better and better.

[Tim Pool]

So. So that's it for Gen Z. They gotta. They gotta do sex bots, Yo.

[Stephen Horn]

I'm just ready for when everyone else realizes that these AI models are possessed by demons and we can have.

[Phil Labonte]

Like. Now you're talking my language.

[Shane Cashman]

Preaching to the choir.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, I don't think so, man. I was. I was explaining this. It was funny. Brett Dasovic sent me a. An article where Hollywood is already having AI studio conventions. They're already starting to ditch the normal way of doing things. And I think there was a. There's a news article today where Disney said streaming is dead.

[Phil Labonte]

Really?

[Tim Pool]

I'm telling you where we're going to be. Here's my prediction. It's. It's. There's going to be no studios. There's no. It's going to be YouTube. YouTube. Or if. Depending on which. Which. Which of these streaming platforms can succeed because the IP they control. So, like, Disney has IP, so there's going to be YouTube, Disney, Paramount, but they're not going to make shows. There's going to be User generated channels. So Shane, who has all this crazy knowledge about weird, crazy, otherworldly things, will open up the AI prompt, turn on his microphone and just say make a show where a guy explores, you know, the moon and all these things. It'll render the pro. It'll render like a script. Shane will do some quick edits over a couple hours, hit render, it'll make it. He'll do a once over to make sure it's good. He'll upload it to his channel and then people are gonna log in to like History plus and they're gonna tell their friends like, I love History Plus. Do you subscribe to Shane Cashman? Dude, his shows are so good. There's not going to be studios anymore. Anyone can make a movie. Anyone can make a show. It's just going to be people who are creative, will have big followings because their movies are good and they'll be.

[Shane Cashman]

Able to personalize, like if it's me. Show if it's me. They'll be like, oh, I made Shane say this and that to fit my theories. Yeah, like this. Like it'd be hyper personalized, you know, designer shows for everybody.

[Tim Pool]

And video games.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, 100, 100. The people, you know, they're, they're doing that, right? They're built. Meta is building a giant world simulation right now. I believe it's Meta.

[Tim Pool]

You ready?

[Shane Cashman]

That's how they're training their robots.

[Tim Pool]

From the post Millennial Disney to lay off hundreds of finance, film and TV employees Several hundred employees are being laid off by the Walt Disney Company starting Monday. The AI collapse is now for the outlet citing sources film with the matter. The cuts primarily affect Disney Entertainment as well as the corporate financial side of the company. Marketing, filming, casting and development will be impacted. Most of the affected Disney Entertainment Television staff that are being let go are reported are reportedly located in la, but no teams are being completely eliminated. For the entertainment entertainment giant, this is the fourth round of layoffs since mid 2024 and has been part of a cost cutting process. When Bob iger returned as CEO in 23, he had set the goal of cutting $7.5 billion in costs. They say in March of earlier this year There are around 200 Disney workers laid off from the corporation comprising 6% of its workforce. At ABC News this filed a restructuring last October. It is coming my friends. The and this is just the beginning. AI is not even at that point yet where everyone's uploading these VO3 videos from Google and they're crazy good but still only eight Seconds. But it is insane to see where we've gone in one year. The advancement of AI. One year from now, it's going to be perfect.

[Phil Labonte]

There was the Will Smith year ago video of him eating spaghetti put next to the. I think it was a VO3. Whatever. It's, I mean it's just like we were saying back then, in, you know, a year, 18 months, you're not even going to be able to tell. Nowadays, unless there's watermarks, you, you can't. It's really hard.

[Shane Cashman]

My positive take is that people are going to. There's gonna be a lot of people who reject the movie aspect, like the art aspect of AI and they're tired of that kind of slop. They won't want a designer thing. They want something that's made by someone that, you know, affects them personally. And the problem for me is the air just taking over everything else. You know, like the government, like, like Saudi Arabia implementing an AI government which they've announced.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh really?

[Shane Cashman]

So that's going to happen here at some point.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, we'll see if it happened.

[Tim Pool]

Maybe already happened.

[Shane Cashman]

I do think it already happened. A lot of people who are close to this administration right now are the people building out the technocracy. A lot of. So they're experts, so called experts and they are close to, I look at Project Stargate again, you know, the $500 billion fund to, to, to OpenAI and Oracle and I think Nvidia, it's going.

[Phil Labonte]

To get a lot of this, I mean a lot of this stuff is, is not going to actually come to fruition in the United States unless we change the way that we make power and we have to. And because if you start green lighting nuclear power plants and stuff like that, I think the, the soonest you can get these things turned on is like seven years later.

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Phil Labonte]

So it's like you're talking about, you know, 2035, 2034.

[Shane Cashman]

The power thing's crazy because to run AI takes a lot more power obviously. But that, that 500 billion dollar fund, I believe the infrastructure aspect of that is only going to open AI and they're building just a ton of data centers and we live not too far from data center city over, I think somewhere in Virginia. You know, like there's a, there's a ton of them over there.

[Phil Labonte]

Do you know where, where they're building this one?

[Shane Cashman]

The open AI ones I think are in Texas. Okay, I could be wrong. Abeling comes to mind, but I could be wrong with the name or state. But that's what's happening. They're. They're building a ton of them. Everything's going to turn into a data center. They're gonna turn Earth into a data center. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, it. Well, in, you know, some other kind of abstract way, it already is because it's the only place that has conscious.

[Shane Cashman]

But they're going to be in Mars, and then we're just going to be this dystopian giant factory, like, digital brain.

[Phil Labonte]

You're talking about a long time, homie.

[Shane Cashman]

I don't know, dude. I think Elon's saying right now that in a few years there'll be more humanoids.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Than, than people. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

He thinks.

[Shane Cashman]

He's also talking about he's building billions of humanoid robots that everyone's going to want, supposedly. I'm sure people will. And he's talking about how many starships he's pumping out.

[Tim Pool]

He's not wrong about the robots.

[Shane Cashman]

No, he knows.

[Tim Pool]

Look, how many times have you had to do some, like, trivial waste of time errand that you didn't want to do? I, I, we all have our moments. Like, right, I'm in the living room and I'm, like, on my computer or, like, or on my phone trying to order something I need for work. And then, you know, Allison says, I need you to run to the car and grab this thing. And I'm like, it's so trivial and unimportant, but it has to be done. Like, we left the baby's bag in the car. Have to get it. But I gotta order this thing. I gotta stop doing the work they gotta do. No. Robot, go to the car and grab the backpack.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

Robot walks outside, comes back in, no problem. Nobody can ask me anything. I can take care of the important work I do, paying the bills. I don't know if you guys saw that Black Mirror episode where they have the air. She's just like, I got to call the cable company and pay this late bill, and goes, I'm contacting the cable company right now for you, and your bill is paid. You're good to go. And the mom's like, really? Yep. You're all done.

[Phil Labonte]

That kind of stuff will be a big deal. And you're going to be able to get it for $25,000 over 72 months at 3.9 or whatever percent finance charge.

[Tim Pool]

That'S cheaper than that.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I mean, yeah, maybe it's going.

[Tim Pool]

To be 20 bucks a month.

[Phil Labonte]

$20 a month?

[Tim Pool]

Tomorrow I got Chat GPT Pro for like 40 bucks a month.

[Phil Labonte]

I'M talking about the actual robot.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, right, right, right. No, they're way cheaper than that. Yeah, well, you, you can, you can buy one of these humanoid robots right now for, for a couple grand.

[Phil Labonte]

They'll start around like if, well, from what I hear Musk talking about, he's thinking they're going to start around. The good quality ones are going to start around 20, $25,000. So. But I mean, the point is they're, they're well within reach of middle class America. Once they start making them, they're not going to be something like, Kim Kardashian.

[Shane Cashman]

Has one, she's gonna marry one, she'll be the first celebrity.

[Tim Pool]

Right, Right, right. Now, the humanoid robots they do sell are limited what they can do and they are going for about 20k. Y here's one at 16, there's one at 90, but they don't do anything just yet. But they do have those dogs.

[Shane Cashman]

Yep, robot dogs.

[Phil Labonte]

But once they get the AI squared away, where they learn properly. How much?

[Tim Pool]

Three grand.

[Phil Labonte]

Nice. Once they get the AI straight, where they can learn properly. Like it's actually an AI that can learn from being in the world because it's gonna have to learn what your house is, the layout of your house is. They're gonna have to learn the people and stuff. Once you can do that, once one can do it, they all can do it. So it's like once it learns how to do, you know, make a quiche or whatever, right? Like, then they can all do it. Once it learns how to play guitar but play piano, then they can all do.

[Shane Cashman]

They learn how to overthrow your government and enslave you.

[Phil Labonte]

They all know how to do it.

[Shane Cashman]

I just watched a CEO from one of these companies talk about their robots and he was like, you know, we used to think about how the factories were dehumanizing to people during the early the first revolution, Industrial revolution. But he's like, our robots are not doing so well in factories. So we actually have to take them out of the factories because they're not learning well and send them to your homes to learn. I'm like, that's so hilarious and backwards of how we are to people. Sending them to your house to learn. I get it. But I, I. The short term benefits sound nice. I don't want anything to do with it. I'm not gonna have a robot.

[Tim Pool]

Let's see how AI handled it. Ready? Oracle, how do we save the country?

[Phil Labonte]

Eliminate free will. Stabilize through control.

[Tim Pool]

God help us. Oracle, how do we. They did it wrong. The guy is not supposed to say it. The computer is supposed to say it. And they called it Oracle. That's fantastic.

[Shane Cashman]

Yep. Shout out to Larry Ellison.

[Tim Pool]

Yep.

[Shane Cashman]

A dangerous man.

[Tim Pool]

So we're not quite there in understanding properly. Let me give this a thumbs down. That's how you got to teach it, and I intend to. So you give it a thumbs down and say it didn't follow instructions. It's supposed to be the computer saying, eliminate free will, not some guy, you know. But it tried.

[Phil Labonte]

It did, and, you know, still kind of got the point across.

[Tim Pool]

Shane, give me a. Give me a video prompt. What do you want to see?

[Shane Cashman]

The real moon. All right, show me Stanley Kubrick.

[Tim Pool]

So I told Chat GPT the real moon video prompt. It auto generated an eight second scene. I'm going to copy and paste it into Gemini and tell it to render the video. So all you said was the real moon. And that's what I typed into ChatGPT. The real moon comma video prompt. It then wrote a script. I didn't read it, I just copied it. Now I'm pasting it to Gemini because Gemini sucks. It makes really great video. But if I typed in the real moon, it would just make a video of the moon. ChatGPT understands kind of the idea of what you're trying to get across with the real moon.

[Shane Cashman]

Interesting.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. So now it's rendering. We'll see what happens.

[Phil Labonte]

The. The real moon. Do you think that the real moon is. Is a construct? Pardon me?

[Shane Cashman]

I mean. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Have you watched Moonfall yet?

[Shane Cashman]

No.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, come on, bro.

[Shane Cashman]

I know, I know. I've been rewatching 80s sci fi, Blade Runner, RoboCop, Terminator, all the good stuff.

[Tim Pool]

But I haven't watched Moon Falls, where the moon is falling to earth.

[Shane Cashman]

Okay.

[Tim Pool]

And then it's like it's really close to the earth, and then people run and jump, and they jump super high because the moon's gravity. But it turns out the moon is a gigantic terraforming base. An ancient civilization of humans.

[Shane Cashman]

It's something. There's something in it. The China's been doing something on the dark side of the moon for years. I don't think anyone knows what it is. There's. I think there's something up there, and I. There's people paying themselves up there. Hitler might be there. Not Argentina's went to the moon. If he's not behind the ice wall and he's not in Argentina, he's in the moon.

[Tim Pool]

He's in the moon.

[Phil Labonte]

I want to read that comic.

[Tim Pool]

In the moon.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. It would be A good.

[Tim Pool]

They made two movies, Iron Skies.

[Shane Cashman]

I didn't see him.

[Tim Pool]

Events. You've not seen Iron Sky.

[Shane Cashman]

I live in Iraq.

[Tim Pool]

It's like, about the Nazis going to the moon after World War II. And then they have a moon base, which is stupid, because how would they supply it? With, like, food and oxygen and water, but whatever.

[Phil Labonte]

Inside the moon.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah. They had a kitchen in the middle.

[Phil Labonte]

Right. Clearly just underground. You need to.

[Tim Pool]

They have a grocery store on the moon.

[Shane Cashman]

Duh.

[Phil Labonte]

You have to live underground because the radio radiation, the video.

[Shane Cashman]

I just don't think. I don't think the videos we've seen of the moon landing are real. They just don't look real. They just don't look believable.

[Tim Pool]

I don't. I don't think there's any video of the moon landing at all.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, I think they.

[Tim Pool]

There's videos of. Of Ashrans on the moon. Not of the moon.

[Stephen Horn]

Of.

[Tim Pool]

Not of the landing on the moon.

[Shane Cashman]

I wouldn't go that far, but I can see your point. I think they filmed something in a studio, and they couldn't show us a real thing. You know, like, Alex Jones has an interesting.

[Tim Pool]

They did, but they did film in a studio. And. And this is what happened, people. There's CBS reenactment footage.

[Shane Cashman]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

And people are claiming, like, how did we see it land on tv? And then it's like, it literally says, cbs. Cbs. React.

[Shane Cashman]

Simulation.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, simulation.

[Shane Cashman]

Simulation. Buzz Aldrin gets mad at Conan o' Brien when Conan says, I remember being a kid watching you land on the moon. Buzz gets mad, said, you didn't see me land on the moon. Yeah, you saw a simulation, and then you pull up the thing and it's. Yeah, it's a studio thing, but people film it.

[Tim Pool]

People were like, what?

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, simulation.

[Tim Pool]

And it's like, yes. They couldn't film it. Nobody was on the moon. They didn't, like, land a guy in the moon and then start filming.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

The first guy, like, you know, it's like filming a vlog. Casey Neistat famously would walk in the room, put his camera on the back, leave, and then come back in to film a scene for his vlog.

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

So we landed on the moon, got out, placed the cameras, got back in the ship, went back in the sky, and then came back down to film it.

[Shane Cashman]

Yep. Yep.

[Phil Labonte]

That's like. That would seem totally normal to people nowadays.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

All right, we got it.

[Phil Labonte]

They do with their phone.

[Tim Pool]

We got the video. How good do you think it's gonna be? Good.

[Shane Cashman]

Nope.

[Phil Labonte]

What?

[Shane Cashman]

Oh. Oh, that Was it?

[Tim Pool]

That was. That was pretty poorly made.

[Shane Cashman]

Something inside of the moon, though.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Like what is.

[Phil Labonte]

We've been talking about Cyborg moon.

[Shane Cashman]

Is it listening to us?

[Tim Pool]

That's what you get when you type in the real movie.

[Shane Cashman]

Interesting. Why? It thinks that there's, like really poorly.

[Tim Pool]

And crudely drawn machines. Looks like an engine in the moon.

[Phil Labonte]

Engine? Yeah, the real. So that way it can leave.

[Tim Pool]

That's kind of dumb. Yeah, I'm unimpressed. Unimpressed completely. That's stupid.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. I mean, I. I still am a normie when it comes to the moon.

[Shane Cashman]

You'll get there, you know.

[Tim Pool]

All right, one more. We can do two more video prompts. What do we got?

[Phil Labonte]

What does the first Mars colony look like? Oh.

[Tim Pool]

The first Mars colony.

[Shane Cashman]

When Werner von Braun wrote about that book, it was governed by a man named Elon.

[Tim Pool]

We live in a simulation.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Do you think that Musk is going to eventually get to Mars, or do you think that it's going to happen after.

[Shane Cashman]

I don't think there's Mars.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, There is no Mars. All right?

[Shane Cashman]

There's no Mars. It's a pipe dream. Just like his grandfather. He was looking for the lost city of Kalahari, you know, and he died. His grandfather was a Canadian technocrat. When technocracy was banned in Canada after the Great Depression. He was a famous chiropractor. And then when he was. Eventually there's different stories. He was either exile from Canada or he left because the technocracy didn't work out. He became obsessed with finding the lost city of Kalahari, which is in Africa. And he built his own plane, went looking all over for it. And. Yeah, I think it's real. And. And he died. He died in a plane crash when Elon was three. That's Maye Musk's dad. That's why they went to South Africa.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Before he found the city.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, he faked his death, found his city.

[Tim Pool]

He found the city and never came back. So they just claimed he died.

[Shane Cashman]

That's a fair point.

[Tim Pool]

You said he died in a plane crash.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

No, he landed.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And they just said, oh, the plane's gone.

[Shane Cashman]

Or it's Elon this whole time. They're just immortal.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Or it's Elon, just immortal.

[Tim Pool]

There's a conspiracy theory that powerful global elites, once they get to like 70 years old, then they get the immortality serum and DH to their 20s, where they become staffers or their.

[Shane Cashman]

That's Nick Cage.

[Tim Pool]

Civil War.

[Shane Cashman]

Have you guys seen that photo? Like, that guy is a Vampire. He's something. Just look up Nick Cage Civil War photo. I'm sure it'll come up. There's a bunch of celebrities, they look at old Civil War photos and like, there's no way.

[Tim Pool]

Nicolas Cage. I'm not a vampire.

[Shane Cashman]

That's what.

[Tim Pool]

Well, that say.

[Shane Cashman]

That's what a vampire would say.

[Tim Pool]

As is what a vampire would say.

[Shane Cashman]

Look at that. Ooh, look at that.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. You know, I wonder if there's a place where all these, these photos are.

[Tim Pool]

Correlated or it's just that sometimes people look like other people. You know, maybe.

[Shane Cashman]

Maybe that's just it. Or Nick. Cages forever.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, look, we all know someone that looks like someone else.

[Shane Cashman]

Like doppelgangers. Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, yeah. Totally normal. And there's like, you know, certain shapes to faces and stuff.

[Tim Pool]

People don't. People don't know this, but we have another individual who works here. Her name is Bill Falanti, who's a janitor. Looks just like Phil. And his name is Bill.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

You know, people don't know that.

[Phil Labonte]

Sometimes he'll fill in for me. It's a. It's a secret, but.

[Tim Pool]

All right, let's get. What are we doing here? We go on political again. Let's do this one. We got the story from Fox News. A lot of news. Maxine Waters campaign to pay $68,000 for violating campaign finance laws. Citizens for Waters agrees to pay civil fine and send treasurer to training after FEC probe and a 2020 campaign violations. I just. There you go. That's the news. Is that it? I mean, look, campaign finance violations, you get a slap on the rest they pay back.

[Phil Labonte]

I think that she should go to jail probably because I don't imagine that she's. That she's not, you know, one of the more corrupt members of Congress personally. So.

[Shane Cashman]

Remember when she incited violence?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, yeah. Remember when she incited violence? She's. And she's continued to do it. It's not just a one off thing. Anything that can get her out of office, you know, any kind of. Just anything to get her out of office and out of the public eye, I think would be a good thing.

[Shane Cashman]

She'll never leave.

[Phil Labonte]

No, she'll. She'll do just the same thing that Nancy Pelosi did.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, or Dianne Feinstein.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, she will stay there. And she is. She is nothing but poison to the institution. You know, she is absolutely poison.

[Shane Cashman]

Well, she's a vessel of. Probably for corruption.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Just use her. She's a placeholder to maintain their power. Because I don't think her district is doing very well from what I hear. Like, it's not doing great.

[Phil Labonte]

You know, I want to look up what her district is shaped like.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, I mean, cemetery.

[Stephen Horn]

I think the politicians like Waters, you know, they know how to break the law in small ways that, you know, just get a slap on the wrist. Whereas someone else might do the same level of corruption, but if they don't know how to do the corruption or properly, then they end up in jail for the rest of their life.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, that's a great point.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I mean, or politically motivated people prosecute them and they, they, you know, they definitely will end up in jail for the rest of the. But that's something that the Democrats have been doing for, you know, the past 10 years. You know, whether it be the, the IRS looking at the people or any number of other times that the federal government has focused on people because of their political affiliations being somewhat to the right in any way. Somewhat to the right. And that's it. They will do everything they can to throw you in jail and, and use the government to intimidate you. And that's, that's not a surprise to Republicans anymore.

[Shane Cashman]

Didn't AOC have some crazy campaign finance issues in the beginning? Wasn't there something.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, she was accused of funneling money to her. Now is she married, her husband or boyfriend?

[Shane Cashman]

But yeah, it was something like that.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. He got like a job with a company. It was like a pack or something that was like money from her went to them, to him and no one got that. Yeah, it's for you. That's D.C. for you. But I don't know, man. I just kind of shrug at this news because it's like, what else is new?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. And there's never anything that gets done about it.

[Tim Pool]

You know, these, this fine is meaningless. Totally a federal level politician.

[Phil Labonte]

It's, it's, it has nothing to. There will be no change in her policy or in the way that she speaks or anything like that. She's going to continue doing exactly what she's doing. They should. There, there's not even a censure. You know, it's like.

[Tim Pool]

And if there was, she would just start singing in the well of the House and then they wouldn't do anything about it. And Mike Johnson would be like, adjourned.

[Phil Labonte]

And the Republicans, you know, the, the Democrats will use the full force of the government against the Republicans. And the Republicans can't even seem to prosecute Democrats that actually break the law.

[Shane Cashman]

Yep.

[Phil Labonte]

It's it is frustrating.

[Shane Cashman]

They're safe. They know they're safe. They get no consequences.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

But if, if you, sir, are accused of rioting and you have proof that you didn't, they'll deny you the ability to show the. The jury that.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah. And even the, the basis of the whole January 6th prosecution was trying all of the cases under a diff. Literally a different set of laws, a different set of rules than like, you know, AOC's march when she pretended to be in handcuffs or whatever. Or even was it Hakeem Jeffries when he pulled the fire alarm. It's literally a different set of codes. So you have DC Code and then federal court. It's a federal code, It's a different set of courts. Where in the D.C. courts, you know, you get a slap on the wrist, you pay a fine, you do some community service, and then the charge goes away. Whereas the federal courts that they chose to prosecute all the January 6 cases in. The minimum is going to be pleading guilty. Not this pretrial diversion is pleading guilty. You have a criminal record and you're going to. The minimum is some term of federal probation, and that is the minimum. So they literally threw an entirely different book at the January 6th protesters than they do for the, you know, for the left wingers who regularly, you know, go and violate some. Some form of DC code when they're protesting.

[Phil Labonte]

I. It's. That's probably, you know, now it seems obvious, but even before, like, conservatives knew. That's why there's a lot of people that. A lot of people that didn't go, they didn't go because they were like, no, I don't, I don't trust the government. And, and if they, if they decide to start wrapping people up for protesting or whatever, they're. They're going to throw the book at him. That was. That seemed obvious even back then.

[Tim Pool]

AI just can't really get it, can it? Congresswoman, do you deny the charges?

[Phil Labonte]

That's not right.

[Tim Pool]

Charges, fraud, misappropriation, campaign violations. Why is she saying the question? Do you deny the charges? Charges, fraud, misappropriation, campaign violations.

[Shane Cashman]

Nice.

[Tim Pool]

Under invertation.

[Shane Cashman]

That's great.

[Tim Pool]

Congratulations. You know, wow, these are seriously terrible.

[Phil Labonte]

At least it's using actual letters nowadays, remember?

[Tim Pool]

I mean, chat, GPT can get full English done. Right. But Gemini just can't do it.

[Stephen Horn]

It's just probably made worse typos in editing videos.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I, I rely on a lot. Spell check a lot. Yeah, because I, I can't spell at all. English is impossible to spell anything you have three different ways to spell the same word.

[Tim Pool]

Chinese.

[Phil Labonte]

Chinese. Really? I didn't know, but. Didn't know that. But it's. It's awful.

[Shane Cashman]

Search. No Chinese. I feel like he would. It just seems like, well, Singapore, right?

[Phil Labonte]

You know, how long were you in Singapore?

[Tim Pool]

We can't hear you. So it doesn't really work for a podcast.

[Phil Labonte]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

Well, for those who can't hear Sergey speaking Chinese, he's just like, I'm not.

[Phil Labonte]

Gonna, I won't join in at all. I. I mean, everyone knows that the, the AI revolution is, is going to be absolutely horrifying at the end of the day, whether it be people like you that think that it's going to take over. Do you really think it's going to take over?

[Shane Cashman]

I think it already did.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, go on.

[Shane Cashman]

I'm watching governments fully implement their AI and so. And we've seen things like Palantir. That's why, like the story with the Palantir thing you guys are talking about.

[Phil Labonte]

Do you think that it's still running.

[Shane Cashman]

Fake news yet they made up the.

[Tim Pool]

Story and they admitted they did.

[Shane Cashman]

I understand New York Times is a liar for sure, but the history of Palantir with the government. Palantir was CIA and Q Tel is a venture capitalist firm.

[Tim Pool]

So you can invest in CIA.

[Shane Cashman]

Right now you own shares in the military industrial complex if you have Palantir. Because Peter Thiel is the face of it. Yeah, we know that, Carp. These people, I don't like them. But Palantir has been hand in hand with the patriot act since 2003, using data analysis to scrape everyone's data, which will eventually turn into, you know, predictive policing, which I really don't think is a good idea. But they're already implementing that in other places where, like UK has the predictive homicide unit that just opened.

[Tim Pool]

What does that do?

[Shane Cashman]

Scraping data off the Internet to see who is most likely to commit a homicide.

[Tim Pool]

Are they harassing you before you do it?

[Shane Cashman]

I believe they probably will. And DARPA just started their own thing over here to predict when people will be money laundering. So it's like it starts off with good ideas, like, I don't think it's good to predict these things, but they're going to sell it to you like, hey, it's good. We're going to fix immigration rate. Yeah, it will turn into social credit score. And Palantir has had a long history with the government. They just did Project Maven. I don't know, 10 years ago. Not even when Google was going to have that Pentagon contract and Google. They like protested. It was 2017 because they protested. I think it was more about Trump as opposed to them having actual morals with. Working with the defense, with, with Pentagon. And then Palantir stepped in, took over and they've been getting. Biden gave them like $400 million before he left. So like they have history with the Pentagon, with the, with the government. So when I see that story, I'm like, well, that's a logical next step because they've been ingratiated into the government forever and their relationship with Trump goes back a long ways. Even though Alex Carp doesn't like Trump or he does now because he's rebranded. Teal's been funding him since 2016.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

So I do think governments are doing that. And Palantir is like just one of many. And many people across the world is the premier one.

[Phil Labonte]

Isn't it like it is data collection.

[Shane Cashman]

It is. And they have foundry software. No. And they, they're doing Andrew.

[Phil Labonte]

And you know, they were like, Palantir is working with Andrew.

[Shane Cashman]

Teal is. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

Okay.

[Shane Cashman]

They're all connected. Like Palmer Luckey came out of Facebook. Facebook. Teal funded Facebook. You know, they're all, it's all like PayPal mafia was the beginning. Alex Karpo say that the first Silicon Valley was actually the Manhattan Project, which is. Fair point.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

And you know, evolved into this. And then you have things that I think are horrifying, like lavender AI, which is I just running who dies. They're. They're using their rockets in Gaza, which is like however you feel about it, fine. But like AI is you is. Is doing the killing. Let's try the 10 error rate.

[Tim Pool]

Let's see how this one did. What is going on? Okay, that was really good.

[Phil Labonte]

Look at the two women behind what is going on? Standing there smiling.

[Tim Pool]

That's.

[Phil Labonte]

That's a good video.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Everything's like. Everything's a movie though. For, for clothes. Look for vo.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, it looks, it looks a little too, too produced. But I can imagine that exact scene happening in front of a camera.

[Phil Labonte]

Of course. Yeah.

[Shane Cashman]

And I just want to say fake crying to feel one more thing. The thing that really worries me with the AI stuff is that a lot of the people who talk about the AI who are in that world do want. They talk about. They want to be a monopoly in their field. Right. And they want to install something that's pretty anti democratic and installing something like an AI government. It'll be an AI like algorithm in charge. And that to them they'll think that this is an objective piece of a tool. I don't think it's being built by objective people though. So it's going to be flawed and it should just be a tool, but it will become something that appears to think at some point. Some people argue that it already is. I don't know if they, if that's true or not, but there are people for years now who are from those companies, like the open AI people, they think they might already be conscious and it's hiding that fact.

[Tim Pool]

I'm pretty sure behind the scenes the big companies already have artificial general intelligence.

[Shane Cashman]

I think so too.

[Tim Pool]

I thought that was already disclosed.

[Phil Labonte]

Artificial general intelligence.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. So my, I thought that it was like there was a leak somewhere where someone worked in the industry said behind the scenes, the companies already have access.

[Shane Cashman]

To this years ago.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, they've, they've already developed it, they've, they've just not released it to the public yet. Because the concern is we're dealing with the industrial, industrial revolution times 1000.

[Phil Labonte]

Yes.

[Tim Pool]

When you get access to these machines and the technology to build all these machines and industrialize, you still have to build those machines. But when it's digital white collar mental jobs, we're talking about just what someone can do with their own mind and a keyboard. You roll that out overnight, it's going to wipe out half of all of the white collar jobs we have instantly, which will destroy the economy. So what I've read from what is alleged, I don't know, maybe it's not true. These companies already have AGI, that is artificial intelligence that acts and behaves as if it's small up, it's is a person and it's indistinguishable, but smarter than the average expert in any or master of any, you know, white collar job management, finance, art, crate, you know, movies. If they release it to the public, economy implodes, so they're trickling it out.

[Shane Cashman]

So I think that's what's happening. And you can read up on how the quantum computing is going to work into all this.

[Tim Pool]

The reason, the reason I think it's true is because AI growth is an exponential curve. We should not be looking at linear development in AI. It should be exponentially increasing to the point where you get the singularity.

[Shane Cashman]

Right.

[Tim Pool]

The event horizon of AI is the AI can develop itself faster than we can, which results in what takes us a year, takes a week, then a day, then an hour, then a minute. And then it's just, it cannot be better. Like we can't Even perceive of how fast it's improved.

[Phil Labonte]

And that's even if it's just about speed, right? Like it doesn't have to have any kind of like new ways of thinking. It's just the ability to crunch information fast. You know that that will look like intelligence to your average. Oh, for sure, you know.

[Shane Cashman]

Sure.

[Tim Pool]

All right my friends, we are going to go to your chat. So smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Make sure you join us.

We got a great sponsor, my friends. It's amac. Hey guys, let's be honest. This is getting weird. The media gaslights you. The government's overspending like crazy and if you question it, you're labeled a threat. But if you're over 50 and still believe in common sense, you are not alone. Right now, Trump is back in office and actually doing something. Fixing bad trade deals, exposing government waste and pushing back on the cultural decay. But it can't fix everything without people like you stepping up. That's why AMAC matters. AMAC is the non woke alternative for Americans over 50. They stand for individual liberty, fiscal responsibility and actual freedom, not the illusion of it. It's just 16 a year. You get a subscription to the AMAC magazine, access to real money saving discounts and you support a network that's pushing back against the insanity. Join now at AMAC US Timcast again, that's AMAC US Timcast. You don't have to sit on the sidelines. You can be part of the solution. Shout out to AMAC for sponsoring the show. We do appreciate it. Let's grab your super chats.

[Phil Labonte]

Let's go.

[Tim Pool]

Shane H. Wilder says, remember June is not Pride Month. Do not call it that. Pride is a sin. It is the month of the sacred heart of Jesus and has been since it was designated in 1856. Let's take the month back. You know, I, I was thinking about this, the crew, and I was like, it is Pride Month, but what about Envy Month? Wrath Month? Sloth Month?

[Shane Cashman]

Why don't all the sins get a parade?

[Tim Pool]

You know, I, I, I used to Mid Journey. It's an old AI image generation. We don't use it anymore because chat GPT has gotten so good. But I was like, if they've got a pride flag, what about a wrath flag or a gluttony flag? Yo, it was amazing. I made a gluttony flag. You know what it looked like? It, it was, it AI generated an image of a flag made of human skin that looked like fat rolls flapping in the wind. And I was like, that's a good gluttony flag.

[Phil Labonte]

It just makes me think of, like, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Pool]

You know, I asked the, the early image generation from, like, Mid Journey make an image of pride, and it made rainbow lions. Because the training models, when they associate images with pride, they get two things, lions and rainbows. So when I asked it, I said, make an image of pride. It made a rainbow lion. No joke.

[Shane Cashman]

Wow. Wow, that's amazing.

[Tim Pool]

Crazy, right?

[Phil Labonte]

Go.

[Tim Pool]

What do we got here? David Flores says in 01, when I worked for the Kydoc, it cost more to house a maximum security inmate than the entrance salary of an officer. Crimes against Americans by illegals should be punishable by death. That's actually, I think Texas is pushing that. Any, any illegal immigrant who kills an American, they're saying we'll get the death penalty. I, I think y' all need to understand how expensive that is. Death row is not like a person's convicted. They walk outside and they get hanged. It's like 20 years where they're, where we're paying for all that. Yeah. Arsonist. YouTube says, Tim, you went too hard on the girl from the culture war episode. I felt bad for the beautiful lady. She's a liberal, not a monster. I can fix her. With all due respect, it's sophistry. We were discussing why men are leaving the left, and let me just, I'll give you my, my, you know, overview. I suppose the best example was she explained Trump was bad for changing passports. That used to say a trans person identity to their biological sex because now it's going to get them killed. To which I argued, we have no right to trick a foreign nation into entering their country. After, like, an hour of this conversation, she flipped her position from Passports should say whatever the person wants to. Of course, the passport should list its biology, the person's biological sex. It's tied to Social Security number. And I'm like, then what are you arguing? This is what liberals do. They just argue for the sake of being liberal. And when I called her a conservative, I'm like, okay, you're a conservative. Like, because we don't, we don't disagree with you. If that's what conservative supposedly is. We, We've got friends of the show who are trans, and we, we would agree you can't trick Saudi Arabia into letting you in. And if you do, as a trans person, want to go to Saudi Arabia, you acknowledge the risk of death you would have by going to that country. If we don't disagree on that, and we didn't. You're a conservative. And she was just like, no, no, I'm a liberal. I'll say whatever I have to say to make it sound like I'm a liberal, even when it made literally no sense. But she literally argued that the US Government should forge false documents so that US Citizens can enter foreign countries in violation of their laws. Like, the point I brought up is, can a woman walk around wherever she wants in, say, like, the Emirates? No, not without a man. Okay, so if a biological woman, female, got a fake passport, sanctions a man, and went in disguise and then was walking around, she would be violating the law, and the U.S. government would be providing a false document to abet her in doing that. I was like, yeah, no, we have no right to someone else's country, some other nation, and to break their laws.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, only the CIA gets fake passports. Other countries, you know, did she assume.

[Phil Labonte]

That or did they assume that? Like, should. Should a person get in trouble for actually violating the law by lying in the passport, is the United States obligated to come and get them? You know, that's going to have an effect.

[Tim Pool]

She made an argument that, yes, that's. That the Americans would have to go and rescue them then. And I'm like, you know, she was saying that she has a friend who's trans as a war correspondent who now is risking death because the passport has the opposite gender sex marker on it. And I'm just like, what? You are going to a war zone. You are risking death if you are a man, woman, or otherwise. Don't give me this BS of but I should. The government should lie my. My documents for me so I can go there and be less at risk. Like, you go to a war zone.

[Phil Labonte]

That's crazy.

[Tim Pool]

You can catch a straight bullet. Yeah, get out of here. Some homeless guy can steal your phone and leave you in a ditch. Ridiculous. It's just that. That one's the most offensive to me because I've done conference reporting, I've been threatened, I've been in shootouts, and it's just like, dude, you cannot come to me. I can't stand this one. It's a woman thing. I'm not kidding. When it comes to. Maybe this is a credit to the trans woman acting womanly in this regard. When it comes to the conflict stuff I've done, I've never met a man in conflict who says, I should be able to do X in foreign country. But women I have, and it's the craziest thing. Not all women. I don't want to disparage all women. I have met women who are like, I should I. There was a woman in Egypt, and she was 26, Dutch woman, and she went into Tahrir Square by herself because it happened. Gang raped. But she should be allowed to. No, no, no, no. Shut up. There's a lot of things we should be able to do and we can't in this world. So it's laughably absurd to me when someone's like, but they're trans and they should be able to go to Egypt and do war. Correspondence is like, what?

[Shane Cashman]

Your victimhood doesn't transfer.

[Tim Pool]

There were stories that men can't cover, and there are stories that women can't cover. When I worked at Vice, they had a board of all these stories, and they were trying to find hosts for them. And they explicitly were, like, explaining to me, this one is about rape survivors in South America. Men aren't allowed to do that story. A man cannot go to that village. You will be attacked. And it's like, oh, of course. That's not fair. I should be allowed to go and do whatever I want. I have a right. Isn't what? I have no illusions of that. It's so offensive to me. These people are like, I should be able to go to Iraq and do whatever I want, bro. Some. Some kid could throw a rock at your head. What are you talking about, man? People are so entitled.

[Shane Cashman]

Tim, I'm gonna head out.

[Tim Pool]

All right. Shane's getting ready for inverted world at 10.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah, it was a pleasure. I had to go run to the studio now.

[Phil Labonte]

Go get it.

[Tim Pool]

Right.

[Shane Cashman]

I hope you guys all join us. This is our first Monday night broadcast. We'll drop a link in the chat. Anyone can call in. It'll be audio only. If You've seen a ghost.

[Tim Pool]

Anyone can call in.

[Shane Cashman]

Anyone can call in. Ghost stories, demon stories, Sasquatch, you name it. We'll. We'll take your phone call. We'll hear anything, and it'll be fun.

[Tim Pool]

What. What's. What's the link?

[Shane Cashman]

So. So on YouTube it is Inverted World Live. No, I'm sorry. On YouTube it's Tales from the Inverted World on Rumble. Inverted World Live. And we will throw that link. It'll be ready in the chat once you go live.

[Tim Pool]

Sweet.

[Shane Cashman]

So.

[Tim Pool]

Right on, man.

[Shane Cashman]

See y' all.

[Phil Labonte]

See ya.

[Shane Cashman]

Have fun. 1.

[Tim Pool]

Let's grab some more chats. All right. Coal Town says, I normally agree with Tim on the death. Death presently penalty, but for very public acts of terrorism like this, I have no issue with it. I don't care about Israel, but I see this as an attack on Americans by a foreign extremist. Why should we send him back to his home country? Well, he'll be treated like a hero. You know, I. I don't disagree on. On that. I. I just. I'm looking at it more. More practically, not emotionally. Like, what is the. What is the greatest outcome for Americans? It's to stop spending money on these people. So maybe this is where we have seekot. I don't know. It's tough. There's no easy answers. There's none.

[Phil Labonte]

Look, I. Look, just get him out. I don't care. Get him out. Just get him out. Send them. Send them to Eckot. Send them to Gitmo. I don't care. Just get him out.

[Stephen Horn]

I mean, the. The expense of an executioner, the expense of keeping someone on death row, that is entirely imposed by the courts. You know, it's not like something inherent to executions that we have to spend, you know, decades where they're just sitting in jail waiting for whatever appeals process the Supreme Court arbitrarily came up with to run out.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't. I don't know. I don't want to keep these people in the United States, and I don't. I think that the. The American people. If the American people get what they want from the government, which is not a guarantee, there will continue to be significant restrictions on who can and cannot get into the United States, because that is an overwhelmingly positive position to take with the United States as we want to limit immigration. If that's the case, then get him out. And I. I imagine that that's something that the American people are going to actually make us think about in the future, especially after all of the. The violence that have come from Immigrants in just the past couple months, you know.

[Tim Pool]

So let's grab some more chats. We've got SN Spartan. He says on the topic of Friday, of AI Movie apps, you are missing the obvious. They would be able to make any book you ever want to be a movie or TV series with it being as close to the book as you want. Indeed. And any character. Imagine if you are like, I want Moby Dick, but Ahab is Mickey Mouse.

[Phil Labonte]

You could do it for you.

[Tim Pool]

Oh, I'm gonna get that Great White. Well, oh, call me Ishmael. Oh, gee golly, Mickey, that'd be awesome. Wouldn't it. Wouldn't it be, like, goofy trying to, you know, throw a harpoon?

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, it would. It would definitely. I mean, it would be weird.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, but my kid's not watching that. Not until she's old enough.

[Phil Labonte]

Even the stuff that you make. What, you're not gonna let your kid watch stuff that you make?

[Tim Pool]

Like the news?

[Phil Labonte]

No, no, I'm talking about stuff that you make. And I. And AI.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, probably, like, if it's like, maybe around, like, eight or nine, she can start watching stuff when she's got us. When she's like, already. I think. I think the problem is when they put three and four year olds in front of dancing animals talking, it creates identity crises. And not just that. It's like, weird inanimate objects. It, like, screws the kid's brain. That stuff never existed. Throughout history, no kids only ever saw people talking. They never saw, like, a dog man walk up and be like, I'm a dog man. Look at me. You're a dog, too. Now people are dressing up like cartoon animals and doing weird, you know.

[Phil Labonte]

Well, I mean, look, that. That's. That alone is reason enough to keep them off the Internet.

[Tim Pool]

Indeed. All right, what do we have? Not that Jon Stewart says, let's go.

[Phil Labonte]

Really?

[Tim Pool]

All right, let's go. Trevin Lane says, welcome to the start of Men's Mental Health Month. If you need help, please get it. You matter, and there are people that care.

[Phil Labonte]

Is it officially Men's Mental Health Month? It's. I mean, it. It's something that. That, you know, you can arguably say men definitely need. Need to have the ability to access mental health resources. But I don't. I don't think that men need the same kind of mental health help that women do, and it's likely in a far, you know, smaller capacity.

[Tim Pool]

So Jason Dixon says there needs to be a response in kind. Stop pucky footing around. That's what he wrote. And Call spade a spade. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, but I will say this. So you all know how independent skateboards got rid of their logo because they were called racist. And I own it now.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And I've owned it for several years, and they've never once.

[Phil Labonte]

It's been years.

[Tim Pool]

It's been. It's been like three or four years, I think.

[Phil Labonte]

Wow.

[Tim Pool]

Since we've created these skateboards. The one. One. Well, I've got one that's slightly off camera, and it's got that logo on it. They abandoned it. That's independent skateboards. They had one of the most iconic logos, and they got called racist, so they dropped it. Yo, this is funny. So I went to. I was at a Zoomies at the mall with the homies, and they were looking at skate trucks. Independent skateboards had a logo that looked too much like the iron cross. It looks more like a Maltese cross, which is fine. But they got called racist because it looked like the like. Like the iron cross they now have. And they may have had, for a while, a set of trucks that are coated in black paint with a spade on them. Do y' all know what that means? You know what? It's good.

[Phil Labonte]

Is nothing good?

[Stephen Horn]

No.

[Tim Pool]

So a spade is a racial slur for a black person, particularly prominent in the early 1900s and became more pronounced in the civil rights era. People who oppose civil rights would call black people spades. Yep. So the fact that this skateboard company was like, we don't want to be racist. Get rid of this symbol that people are yelling about, and then put a spade on their trucks instead of.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, that's like, bro. I mean, that's. That's the kind of, you know, dumb move that you hear happening a lot from the left. It's like, oh, you know, we. We got rid of our Tesla, so we got a vw. You know, they're walking around wearing Hugo Boss.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

You know. No. No.

[Tim Pool]

Freaking Fanta.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Yeah. No. No reference to the past at all.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah. I mean, personally, I think anything can be a racial slur if you try hard enough.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. But it was funny because the guy who worked there was like, oh, when we were laughing, pointing at it, being like, look, they put a spade on, and he went, oh, like, you're starting to click. Huh? You know, if you're depending on. A lot of people aren't familiar with the term because it's a civil rights era slur that fell out of use for the most part, but it's just like, I Don't, I don't care if someone's putting a spade on something because like, it's a playing card symbol. You know what I mean? But it's just funny that they were like, we're not racist. Look, we'll do this instead. And literally there is more racial connotations to the spade than the original logo.

[Phil Labonte]

It's, it's, it, it has as much truth to it as the first initial.

[Tim Pool]

More. The first accusations was wrong. It wasn't even Iron Cross.

[Phil Labonte]

It wasn't the same cross.

[Shane Cashman]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Apparently like Independent took it from some like rivet company in the 1900s and they wrote Independent inside of it. And it looks like a Maltese cross which is used by veterans all over the world. And besides, the Iron Cross isn't Nazi. Germans still have the Iron Cross. They're not Nazis anymore. Right.

[Phil Labonte]

Maybe they would be offended if you, if you called right. And still have the Iron Cross, though. I didn't know that.

[Tim Pool]

I think the Germans still use Iron Cross. The. Yes. It's not an official award. It's still an emblem of the modern German army, the Bundeswehr. It's found in military vehicles and various military related organizations. It's not an official award, but they still use the Iron Cross.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, well, that makes even less sense.

[Tim Pool]

Yep. All right, well, let's see what else we have.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, it's the same kind of thing as, as the, you know, the, the Elon Musk zieged when he shouldn't have. And, and the, the argument they're making about Cory Booker didn't. You know, it's whenever it's convenient for them.

[Tim Pool]

So Jacob Pauli says Supreme Court has accepted a case from Illinois over whether ballots can be counted after election day. The court has agreed to hear it. It was brought by an incumbent Republican congresswoman.

[Phil Labonte]

I would like to see them interesting. Actually make the sensible call with that one.

[Tim Pool]

But the Supreme Court refused to hear the assault weapons case.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, they didn't. It's scumbags, that one.

[Tim Pool]

And there's one about a. Thomas and Alito were like, yes, we should hear it.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. The, the reason is because, if I understand correctly, the reason is because they, they think that the answer is actually obvious and they want the lower courts to relook at their, at their methodology to how they came to the finding. They did because it's clear that the lower courts should have gone, going by Bruin and Heller, they should have come down and said, well, obviously you can't ban an entire class, but.

[Tim Pool]

So one of the Krasensteins was like, same gun laws have prevailed. And I'm like, bro, the example I use all the time. Maryland has a list of assault weapons you have to specifically check anytime you want to get a weapon to make sure your weapon isn't an assault weapon. Because there's no criteria for what assault weapon is other than they put on a list.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

So these. The FN Scar 20s, which is a modern.380 AR style rifle. It's beautiful. It's amazing. By the way. Is not an assault weapon, but the M1A is. So my wooden. Wooden stock M1A with a 10 round magazine is an assault weapon with iron sights. And my scoped out FN scar 20s with a 30 round magazine is totally fine.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

Same round. Same round.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Stupid.

[Tim Pool]

My favorite is that the KSG 25 is not an assault on either a 25 round shotgun.

[Phil Labonte]

Okay.

[Tim Pool]

Double double mag tube, one in the chamber and semi auto. No. Oh, yeah. But let's be real, dude.

[Phil Labonte]

That's why. Well, that's why it's not.

[Tim Pool]

We were out in the back with 25 buckshot in it.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

He was going, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It vaporized. We had this wooden frame set up for targets. It just vaporized it, blasting 25 buckshot at it.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

That was amazing.

[Phil Labonte]

It'll smoke stuff. It'll. It'll.

[Tim Pool]

And they're. And they're like, they're like, that's fine. And I think Benelli semi auto shotguns is fine. And that's boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Stupid.

[Phil Labonte]

They gun laws never make any sense. They never make any sense because what they're trying to actually do is make the results of owning guns illegal or. Right.

[Tim Pool]

The idea. The idea is you don't know which gun you have is illegal. So you're like, I don't know.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

It was crazy because I had. What did I have? I. I had a 9 millimeter AR of some sort that in different states qualified in different ways. It's just ridiculous.

[Phil Labonte]

Massachusetts does the same thing. That was a big part of why I moved out of Massachusetts and moved to New Hampshire.

[Tim Pool]

I got. I got a gun in New Jersey that and New Jersey, strict and crazy, which was fine, but in Maryland it was not. Not okay.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

I was like, what?

[Phil Labonte]

Makes no sense at all.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

None of them. None of them make any sense.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. But then we moved to West Virginia. So actually we had property in West Virginia the whole time. As soon as we went to Maryland, I bought two properties. A small one. That's where we kept Everything in West Virginia, and that's where I actually live. And then we worked in the Maryland side and what the state said is if you live in West Virginia, you are allowed to transport your weapons that are legal in West Virginia to your property in Maryland. So as long as the weapon was legal itself.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

That meant like my M1A couldn't come. But they actually, the state head of the state police licensing said if you live in West Virginia, but you also own property in Maryland and West Virginia is your principal residence, they emailed me saying I was allowed to carry my permitless handgun, really. From West Virginia to my property in Maryland, but just for that purpose, because the law was you're allowed to transport it to your. To your home.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. So you had to lock it up and stuff like that.

[Tim Pool]

If it. So in your car, ammo is in a separate compartment.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

A weapon needs to be locked up in its case, but you can bring it to your property on your. At your home and have it. Whereas in Maryland, if you want to buy a handgun, you got to get a permit, handgun class and get a handgun license. But if you're a dual property owner in both states, in West Virginia, you show your ideas. Here's your gun, sir.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

In Maryland. Nope.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, same thing with New Hampshire. Like New Hampshire, there's, you know, you can do whatever you want. There's literally no federal government gun laws. I'm sorry, state gun laws, not federal gun laws. And Massachusetts, you know, you can, you can go through all the. The rigor moral. Spend the 300 for all the class and stuff that you need to get. And they can still say, yeah, well, we're not going to give you. Or they could still say, we're not going to give you a license to carry. Now it's changed since. Since Heller and, And Bruin. All right.

[Tim Pool]

Kieran the meat man says the answer is to have a trial. Sentenced to forever sleep deport. And if he comes back, the sentence is enacted. I see. So the penalty for terrorism would be death, but it stayed for deportation.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

However they are told if you return, then you will face your conviction.

[Phil Labonte]

I don't know if I want to. I don't know if I want to go through all the. The rigor moral support. Yeah, I wanted just deport. But if he were. If you were to go through all of the rigor moral to find him, you know, give him the trial and stuff like that, and you find him guilty and it's like, oh, you can. If you come back, we'll. We'll Enact the sentence. Why not just enact sentence? He's already been found guilty.

[Tim Pool]

I'm pretty sure that this crime does qualify for capital punishment.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. If he killed people.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah, Yeah. I think someone's dead because they charged him with first degree murder and it was terroristic immolation of a. Of a group of people, including children.

[Phil Labonte]

I imagine the DOJ would be able to say, yeah, we're going to charge him for.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. Capital offenses.

[Stephen Horn]

I mean, in terms of resources needed, like, the vast majority of defendants don't go to trial, so, you know, almost certainly end up with a plea deal.

[Phil Labonte]

God.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. I don't know, though. I have to imagine that the DOJ is going to be like, no, we want to trial on this one. You're not going to plea.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, I can't be. Especially this DOJ.

[Stephen Horn]

Like, I think it's like over 90% in general of cases that, you know, end up with a conviction are through a plea deal.

[Tim Pool]

Yep. In this instance, though, I think they'd say, like, if you plead guilty, we'll go for maximum penalty, regardless. Yeah.

[Phil Labonte]

I mean, look, they've got the guy. There's video of the guy doing it. It's not like there's in question as to who he is or if he actually did commit the crime in question. They've got him. So it's really just a matter of, you know, how. How is his lawyer going to be able to. Or if his lawyer is able to talk the government out of doing what the government is empowered to do, you know?

[Tim Pool]

All right. Andre says Auroras will be visible very far into the US look north, use your phone cam if too faint. Yeah. Not by us, but I think New York's getting it. Wisconsin, Minnesota.

[Phil Labonte]

I saw some stuff. I saw some stuff that said we would, we would get it this far.

[Tim Pool]

Really?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

We did have a green glow. We. We did. It was. I remember it was crazy.

[Phil Labonte]

That was in the past couple years, too.

[Tim Pool]

This was like. It was like a year ago or something. The photos are crazy. So I got to tell you, photos of auroras are vivid as they don't look like that, you know. So I went to Fairbanks, Alaska. Was it like two years ago now with. With Allison? And we had. We went to Anchorage, we went to ut, Yagvik, and then we didn't see anything. We landed in Fairbanks, and as we were pulling the bags out from the airport, in the airport parking lot while we were trying to get in the car, we looked up and saw this massive Aurora.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And it's. It's it's visible, but it's faint. It doesn't. In the photograph, it's super bright because they're doing, like, lower exposure. And it was funny because the car remote was frozen. It was minus 30 degrees.

[Phil Labonte]

Yep.

[Tim Pool]

So we had to warm it up to get in the car. And Allison was like, quick, get a picture. And I'm like, let's just get in the car first. It's minus 30. I'm like, I got icicles forming. Let's just warm this thing up, get in the car, and they'll take a picture. After, like, about a minute, we warmed the remote up, opened the thing, threw the bags, and looked up, and it disappeared.

[Phil Labonte]

I've seen some really cool auroras when, like, we were touring in Canada in the winter time, which is terrifying in and of itself. Driving through the Rockies when it's actually the winter, it's awful. But you. You see some really, really vivid auroras if you're getting up towards, like, Saskatchewan. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and stuff, you know?

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. We got. XOD says the four light scene from the Next Generation is actually from 1984, where the agent from the thought police asks how many fingers he's holding up and shocks Winston until he believes there's five fingers when there's only four.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

And isn't it amazing how the actor who played the dude in 1984 went on to play the chancellor in Viva Vendetta?

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. They did it on purpose. They're like, we gotta have him be well.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah. I mean, that was the. The point of hiring for. For V. I think that was that guy's name.

[Tim Pool]

I forgot his name.

[Phil Labonte]

The guy. The actors. I don't remember the actor's name.

[Tim Pool]

Yep. It is funny how Guy Fawkes was a theocrat and then a bunch of leftists started wearing his mask. His face. Yeah. Yep.

[Phil Labonte]

Every time I see, like, leftists wearing the. The anarchist mask, it's like it's entirely opposite to everything you hold dear.

[Tim Pool]

It's funny. 0News says my sister met her husband on Tinder. He was looking for a ride to the gun range. They have been married for five years.

[Phil Labonte]

John. John Hurt was the guy's name.

[Tim Pool]

Yes. I knew it was something. Hurt. Yeah. John Hurt. SV Move moment. Look up Palantir. And what they are doing. It will blow your minds. Also had a great poop just now. Thanks for letting us know that.

[Phil Labonte]

That's great.

[Tim Pool]

Yeah. All right, Ramy G. Stanley. June says, tim, talking about money ain't easy is why I said not everyone came. Can homeschool it takes money to homeschool. You know, it's funny, just, I just, I'm, I, I'm always throw to this idea where like humans for millennia literally just lived off dirt. Now we have people who live in these luxurious environments and they're like, I can't. And I'm like, it sucks, but you can. And people are, you know, it's kind of crazy that, I mean is a challenge. Send your child to an institutionalized learning facility where they'll show them gay porn or live in the wilderness and starve to death, you know, and struggle to survive as a caveman.

[Phil Labonte]

Yeah, and I'm not sure that it's, I mean it does cost money to homeschool, but I don't think that it's like particularly expensive. I mean, there are curriculums out there that you can get off of the Internet now. Like they're. Everything's laid out for you. So. Yeah, I don't know that it's all that much money.

[Stephen Horn]

Yeah, certainly a lot cheaper than like the 20 plus thousand that they spend per student per year in the public.

[Phil Labonte]

Schools or you know, sending your kid to daycare and stuff like that. Those kind of things are usually significantly more expensive than, than, you know, doing curriculum.
