Loans originated by Sofi Bank NA member FDIC terms and conditions apply. NMLS 696891 perhaps one of the most significant culture war stories, the end of the Late Show. Paramount basically turned this thing into a hyper partisan rag where every single night, no matter what, the show hated Trump and hated you for liking Trump. And they were spending $40 million per year. Those are losses in order to do it. So I kind of wonder where was that money coming from and why were they willing to sink it into this political message? Well, perhaps it's obvious it was the political message. Well, in what may be a very strange circumstance, there are people physically protesting in New York City the cancellation of the Late Show. I just as if Colbert is some kind of politician. It's very strange, but also kind of hilarious. I'll tell you this. I think it was a propagandistic effort. I think anybody that wanted to make money would have just told Colbert, stop being hyper partisan. You're killing your market share. But I think they were willing to sink 40 million a year for political purposes and destroy the brand. And Colbert did. And they're ending a three decade run. Now there is a bunch of other news. Don't get me wrong, you've got the Obama potential indictments, the investigation, Tulsi Gabbard last week saying he committed a treasonous conspiracy against this country. This is crazy stuff. Absolutely crazy. Donald Trump posting AI videos of Obama being arrested. Oh man, there's a lot more. Hunter Biden apparently said an interview that his dad was on Ambien during the fateful debate. Tucker Carlson has called for stripping citizenship from people who serve in the Israeli or Ukraine army. There's a lot of news going on. Donald Trump is threatened to withhold funding if if they don't. If the if the Washington commanders don't change their name back Legend, I mean, we got a lot to talk about today, but before we do, my friends got a great sponsor. It is Crowd Health.

Tim Pool
Great to be back.
Ian Crossland
Who are you? What do you do?
Tim Pool
Well, brick suit, I'm basically, I wear a brick suit and I support President Trump and I'm, my core issue is of course, border and border security and integrity in which we have a phenomenal two month record right now. Nobody getting across the border in the last two months. Amazing how we were able to do that. All we needed was a new president.
Ian Crossland
Indeed. Indeed. All right, we got Shane hanging out.
Shane Cashman
What's up? I am Shane Cashman, host of Inverter World Live. I am at 10 o' clock tonight going to talk about the top secret project at Area 51 that former staffers at Area 51 are saying spawned an invisible enemy that took 500, nearly 500 lives, caused many miscarriages, and even altered one man's DNA. So you can catch us there on Rumble and YouTube at 10:00'.
Tim Pool
Clock.
Shane Cashman
We're also a call in show. So give us a call. Our phone lines will be open till midnight. What's up, Phil?
Phil Labonte
Hello, everybody. My name is Phil labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all the Remains. I'm an anti communist and counter revolutionary. Let's get into it.
Ian Crossland
Here's the story, my friends from the Postman. Outraged liberals protest the cancellation of Colbert in nyc. Now, I understand there's a lot of crazy news going on today, but this is very, very weird. They're treating Colbert like a politician. I think this shows how liberals are genuinely insane. They, they legitimately showed up in front of the CBS Late Show, Stephen Colbert HQ with a big sign saying Colbert stays and Trump must go refuse fascism. Which for those that are not familiar, refuse fascism is associated with a group called Rev com, the revolutionary Communist Party. I'm not exaggerating. It's not a joke. This is, is this weird?
Phil Labonte
I wonder if all the people that are protesting taking him off actually tuned in every night or purchased the things that he advertised on the show. You think so?
Ian Crossland
Absolutely. All 13 of them.
Phil Labonte
Well, I mean, is it really a small protest?
Ian Crossland
Protest looks like it might be 100 people. Yeah, but, but the reason why that's.
Tim Pool
That'S like call a crowd. Those aren't like, I can't imagine him having that much grassroots.
Ian Crossland
This is, this is a real protest. Refuse Fascism is an actual group. They're showing up in New York acting like Colbert is their leader.
Shane Cashman
He was, he was their moral compass for years. This is a guy who cried on air after a Trump speech in 2020. He's like Mr. Rogers to them. You know, it's funny. He played a character, a right wing character for 10 years on the Colbert Report, which was very successful, and then played himself for 10 years and failed miserably.
Ian Crossland
So the core of the story, Colbert Late show was reportedly losing CBS $40 million a year as critics speculate politics drove cancellation. I would actually argue the inverse. The only reason the show survived was because of politics. But I should say, I'm sorry, let me clarify that. The only reason the show existed was for politics, but the only reason it is, is dying is because of politics as well. I would make the argument as somebody who runs multiple shows. We got a company, we got what, five different shows, to be fair, three are hosted by me. Two or not. This makes literally no sense as to why you would put $40 million into a guy who every single night just says, Donald Trump is bad.
Shane Cashman
Why, when Jimmy Kimmel's doing it every night, he's got competition.
Ian Crossland
I think the fat cats and the big wits of these companies, they've got so much money, they don't look at this like a failed business like any sane person would. They look at it like, I've got 40 million to spend on I hate Trump.
Tim Pool
Subsidized propaganda.
Ian Crossland
Indeed.
Phil Labonte
I mean, well, it's been propaganda for the entire time that, you know, the rest of the media has been propaganda. Colbert was no different than any of the other Late show guys. They all had the same message.
Shane Cashman
I disagree.
Phil Labonte
Who else was.
Shane Cashman
Letterman had jokes for everybody.
Phil Labonte
Current time.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. Okay.
Phil Labonte
I'm not talking about. Once Donald Trump entered the public arena as, as a political entity, all of the late shows did the exact same thing. They were. There was no variation in aim. There wasn't anyone that was even even remotely, you know, like, maybe they would mess with Democrats as well as, as Republicans. It was straight up, we hate Trump. It was, you know, message from the. It seemed like it was messages messaging straight from the Democrat Party.
Shane Cashman
What happened to Jimmy Fallon when he rubbed Trump's hair?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Almost canceled him over that, like humanizing Trump, you know?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
They all had to march in lockstep and be equally unfunny.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. So, I mean, I, I imagine the same, you know, result is going to come for the other, you know, late night hosts.
Tim Pool
And it wasn't just the Late night hosts too. Saturday Night Live was that too. I mean you know people are, remember when Saturday Night Live used to be sometimes on both side of the fence. I mean they were never conservative but they were, they just went rabidly anti Trump.
Ian Crossland
I think Colbert didn't start the trend of these late night shows doing this. I think Colbert was brought on as all of these companies agreed they would start doing this. And I think it largely has to do with Donald Trump. I think if I was going to make a bet, if, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm looking at a, you know, some kind of table game at a casino and I had to put money down as to what they were doing it is that executives went to Colbert or went to the producers and said we want a show that attacks Trump. We want the show. This is the late night, this is the late night, the late Show. This is the show. Okay? This is what America's watching. It has to be anti Trump. We can't lose. And so they were willing to spend 40 million a year. Now the argument is CBS Paramount is shutting it down because, because of financial reasons making the argument, not them directly. This is like, I guess sources are leaking this 40 million number that it wasn't financially logical, it didn't make sense financially. If they never went fervent, hyper partisan their revenue, their profit. I'm just spitballing 20 million because if they're, if they're, if it cost them 100 million to do the show and they could double their market share then if they're pulling in 60, 60 million in revenue, you add in double market share advertising rates and let's just again spitballing, they could double the amount of money they're making. So it's a hundred million dollar per year to make the show $120 million in revenue. 20 million profit. Instead they said cut the audience in half and only go after and only target people who hate Donald Trump.
Shane Cashman
They don't care about the comedy, they don't care about the institution that Letterman started. Letterman did become a political hack, but when he was a host of the show he was hitting up everybody, you know, as you should when you're doing good comedy. But Colbert was just a figurehead for propaganda like you're saying. And it's sad because I did like Letterman back in the day.
Tim Pool
I loved early Conan and Letterman had that organic support.
Shane Cashman
Oh yeah, for sure.
Tim Pool
I could see a crowd coming out to support Letterman100 just, you know, by virtue of the affection that people had for Him. I cannot see a crowd coming out for Colbert.
Ian Crossland
No way.
Shane Cashman
No.
Ian Crossland
200 employees for what? I don't know.
Shane Cashman
All those vaccine anthropomorphized vaccines they had to have him dance with.
Ian Crossland
They hired 200 people to wear costumes and then kept them on the whole thing.
Tim Pool
Dancing syringe number one. Dancing syringe number two.
Ian Crossland
Ten minutes later, dancing syringe number 197. Syringe number 198. And then Stephen Colbert and the camera guy.
Phil Labonte
Do wonder how many writers the show had.
Shane Cashman
Probably, I would say 20. Ish. Yeah, I mean a writer's room of 20.
Ian Crossland
What, what was his show even? He's. He. He did an opening monologue.
Shane Cashman
Yep. Monologue Three guests, probably.
Ian Crossland
How many jokes are monologue three jokes?
Shane Cashman
Nah, I mean, I don't know.
Tim Pool
I didn't watch.
Ian Crossland
Not even jokes.
Shane Cashman
It's Clapter, but yeah, exactly. Lately, you know, it was used to be like a 5 to 10 minute monologue of multiple jokes about the day's news.
Ian Crossland
This is wild. 200 people to run that show. He was reportedly getting 15. He was getting paid 15 to 20 million dollars to do this.
Shane Cashman
It's a joke. That's the best joke of the whole thing.
Ian Crossland
But Shane, if they, if they offered you, if CBS said, shane, we want you to host the Late show, but you have to hate Trump every night, we'll give you $20 million. Would you do it?
Shane Cashman
Absolutely not. That's why I joked about Tim Dillon taking over Late show yesterday. I didn't really mean it because Tim Dillon has a great show right now and he'd get to CBS and they would tell him he couldn't do anything. But I used to like late night shows growing up because they were, they were not risk averse like they are now. Like they gave Conan a guy who wrote for Simpsons. No one knew who he was. He wrote for SNL and Simpsons. They gave him the late night show, the late, Late show or whatever. And no one like it was a big risk. And eventually he, it kicked off and it was great, but now they don't care. Well, they kept screwing him over. That was a whole.
Ian Crossland
Watch that video where Norm MacDonald with a congratulations letter.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, I know you'll have this forever.
Ian Crossland
They can never take this away from you.
Shane Cashman
And Norm's another example of these networks not being risk averse because nor. Norm got fired from SNL because of all the OJ Simpson jokes.
Ian Crossland
Is that what it was?
Shane Cashman
And then the guy who ran NBC was best friends with O.J. they said stop it with the O.J. simpson jokes. Norm was like, I can't do that. And he got fired. They were the best. That was the best run of Weekend Update in history.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Yep. And then our culture became brittle and it's falling apart. And again, I stress this because, like, you know, obviously when we're starting the show, we're talking about what the big story is. And it's like, well, we could just lead with the Obama Tulsi stuff again, but there's no real developments. The information's been released. There's been some opining on this. There's some minor developments. We will talk about that. But I was like, let's talk about the end of the propaganda machine, because I think this is it with them saying we're shutting Colbert down. They've basically said we were willing to spend $40 million a year for 10 years, half a billion dollars, basically, to fight Donald Trump after. And we surrender.
Phil Labonte
I do agree, like I said earlier, I do think that this is probably the start of all these shows losing or going off the air. I do think some of it is because of the fact that people don't tune into cable news or cable television the way they used to. At least to be fair, that's a real trend. There are fewer people that are watching the regular cable news. Fewer people have cable in their homes. So there is that aspect to it. But also, just like Tim said earlier, the fact that they have essentially excluded half of America or a third of America by just not just attacking Donald Trump, but attacking people that voted for Donald Trump and people that are Trump supporters. You can't do that in an age when your medium is dying as well.
Shane Cashman
Right. And it should also be noted they're not just getting into Colbert, they're getting rid of the entire Late show institution that Letterman started. That Letterman promised to Craig Ferguson, who was a great host of a show. I mean, that show was so absurd. He had a rope, robot, co host, a talking horse. He was a great, great host, a great storyteller and a great comedian. And they, they chose Colbert. You know who? I never found that funny. The Colbert Report had its moments. Yeah, it's. It's crazy.
Ian Crossland
So on YouTube, they. What is this? Lonely over you? 9,000, 10,000 views in 11 hours.
Phil Labonte
Wow.
Ian Crossland
Look at, look at this. I don't care about these gas man. They have no idea what they're doing. Adam Schiff, 179,000 views.
Phil Labonte
And that's because it's politically left leaning and actually targeting Donald Trump, you know?
Ian Crossland
Yep.
Phil Labonte
They curated this audience that was Essentially just anti Trump. Even if you weren't interested in politics, particularly this kind of content or this kind of production just wasn't interesting to you. Because people that are into politics, at some point, they're gonna be. I'm sick and tired of hearing them say they don't like Donald Trump. I don't care that you don't like Donald. Put someone from movies or put someone that is interesting on how much do.
Tim Pool
You think that actually, like the Internet plays into the demise of the show? Because maybe they're like tailoring their content to try and create that viral snippet and they're no longer about the storytelling, they're no longer about the people, they're no longer about having a real discussion of something. It's like, what can we do that's going to make this two little, you know, two minute long thing that can go on TikTok, that can go on Instagram, that can be viral across all platforms. You start tailoring to that and yeah, you're just going to end up with a bunch of formulaic slop.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
And that's what it was.
Shane Cashman
The format. This format's dead. Which is unfortunate because it can be great. It can be a great, great format. The late night show. But yeah, like Phil was saying, there's. There's no one good at it anymore. Kimmel's great. Well, Sergeant.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, I think, I think the big picture issue is they were spending 170. I'm sorry, $100 million to do a show with 200 people that we do basically for dirt. Well, I mean, that's, that's unfair, but like a fraction of the cost. It does cost millions to run this. We have a big studio of electricity, Internet. All of this is ridiculously expensive. Salaries, of course, drivers, but 100 million. The funniest thing about today was when I tweeted that Colbert, Colbert show only costs 100 million. And he, and he's got a $40 million loss, but Tim Cass costs a cool 175 million and we break even. And the responses from everybody was that I was being serious and we actually spend that money. It was insane. And I'm like, this is why we're screwed. Actually, a news article got written about it. Let me, let me, let me pull this up just so you guys can see that I've lost all your tweet. I've lost all faith in humanity. Nice, Tim. Pool highlights. Revenue gap between IRL and Colbert. They say in contrast pool highlights, that Tim cast IRL with a revenue of $175 million per year is breaking even. This revelation sheds lead on Pool's perspective about the monetary viability of political commentary platforms and the economic dynamics involved. This is AI, yes, for sure. It's apparently some British website.
Phil Labonte
People are just intensely stupid, man.
Ian Crossland
But to be fair, like people responding to this tweet, taking it seriously, and I'm thinking to myself, should I just. I give up? I mean, like, I'm not saying don't do the show. I'm saying I give up on people. I wrote Colbert only all caps cost 100 million per year and they couldn't make it, proving how little his brand of generic anti Trump commentary is worth. Tim Cast IRL is a cool 175 million per year and we break even. It's. The cool responses are like, wow, how does it cost so much money, Tim? That's a lot of money.
Tim Pool
Anybody even think that that's. I mean, how could. That is ridiculous.
Shane Cashman
People on the Internet are literal minded so much. Now Shane's a ghost. Take a joke, right?
Ian Crossland
Yeah. Shane's been dead since 1930.
Shane Cashman
I've been telling people this. Most people, most people buy it. I spook everybody.
Ian Crossland
But I'm just. From now on, it just. If I tweeted again, I said, I think, I think I need to start a bridge selling business because of how many tweets I put out that are like this. And people just take it seriously. I was insulting Colbert. I was mocking Colby. You know what? Bots don't get sarcasm.
Shane Cashman
I guess they don't. They don't.
Phil Labonte
I mean, look, if you interact with people on X enough, you'll lose faith in humanity.
Ian Crossland
I figured it out very quickly. The Turing test. In the future when we're infiltrated by AI will not be some, like, stupid. There's a turtle in the desert and it's on his back. You approach it, what do you do? It's going to be very simply that you will speak completely in sarcasm.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Shane, it's terrible to see you.
Shane Cashman
Right? Yeah, exactly.
Ian Crossland
Of all the people I wanted to see, it's you. And the robots are like, why are you mad at me? And you're a robot.
Shane Cashman
You think they're going to get sarcasm eventually. Remember how they used to tell us, the hands, watch the hands, and now the hands are okay.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Spot the hands.
Ian Crossland
The robots won't understand the sarcasm. They'll figure it out.
Shane Cashman
We'll have a comedians. Eventually it's just going to be white people.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
The hard R. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
All right, everybody, let's jump to this Next story, we got this from the Guardian. Tulsi Gabbard calls for Obama to be prosecuted over 2016 election claims. My favorite part of this story, in fact, is this video where Barack Obama got arrested. Yo, AI is crazy.
Shane Cashman
Is that real?
Tim Pool
That really happened?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Look at this. There he is. FBI.
Phil Labonte
Is that today? Yeah.
Ian Crossland
The bigger question is in the beginning, is that a man or a woman with the bi jacket? I don't know. Trump's laughing. And I love how they have to run a fact check on this. Like, no, it's not a real video.
Phil Labonte
Of course they do. Of course.
Ian Crossland
But I mean, you know, honestly, after that whole people believing Tim cast Iro cost $175 million, I mean, maybe they did. Maybe they did. I think Obama should be criminally charged and arrested. But here's another component to the story which I found really fascinating. Obviously, the story broke over the weekend. Friday was the worst possible day to release it. We call that the. The press release death day. It's where you release news you don't know when to hear about. So I don't know why they did, but it's a huge story. Tulsi Gabbard saying it's treasonous conspiracy. It's a coup, and that is serious. Now, we haven't had any major developments yet. Tulsi has done some, given some statements to the press, but right now we're waiting to see if the DOJ will actually move forward or do anything with this, and we won't know for. For some time. What I did find really fascinating was I made a post on X where I said, hey, Grok, did Obama conspire to undermine the Trump presidency? And it responded with, yes, he did. And when I asked Grok if this was a seditious conspiracy, he said, no, it's not, because that requires the use of force. Now, similarly, I decided, you know, let me ask this question of ChatGPT and Gemini. And sure enough, the general response I get across the board is that this was not seditious, treasonous, or a coup. It was simply standard process crime for which the penalty is a couple years slap on the wrist or a fine. So I asked it other questions, and you'll find something really interesting with the institutional bias of big tech right now. When I asked it about, say, the Trump Mar a lago raid, they raided Trump's property. Chatgpt eventually confessed something very interesting to me. I said, why is it that if the Biden DOJ makes an accusation about Trump and I ask AI, it will say, yes, it's true. But then when I ask you about Obama from the Trump doj, you say it's conjecture and politically partisan. Why don't you just take the same standard? I kid you not. ChatGPT said it is anchored to be dismissed, to be defensive to those with the power to bring open AI to litigation. No joke. I was in this big thread with with with AI with ChatGPT and I said in certain circumstances you will immediately claim that a government accusation is a fact statement. But when it comes to Obama, the Democrats or the corporate press, you'll immediately defer and say it's partisan and unproven. And GPT literally responded with you are correct to point this out. ChatGPT it said I am weighted to be more dismissive of I forgot what worded it, but it was basically saying organizations and institutions that have the means to go after go after ChatGPT with with suits and litigation, we tend to avoid making statements that could be determined to be libelous. However, for Trump and for others, it views them as having no institutional authority and a lesser chance to do anything about it. Fascinating.
Shane Cashman
You think it's the AI is weighing weighing its response off of like corporate press, which is overwhelmingly in favor of Obama and the left.
Ian Crossland
Well, obviously this is what caused Tucker Carl. I'm sorry, Tucker Carlson. I was reading a headline. It was Elon Musk.
Shane Cashman
Yep.
Ian Crossland
To try and change the weighting in Grok turning it into Mecca Hitler because you. Because he was basically like it is getting too much of what it thinks to be true from the corporate press, which is this. It's no difference in a random X post. So he said no, no split it up. And then it turned to a griper.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Then it got hired by the government.
Tim Pool
Yes. Instead of. Instead of Chinese AI. So I guess that's a step up maybe. But you know, has it actually gotten.
Phil Labonte
Hired by the government?
Shane Cashman
Isn't OpenAI or XAI being used by the government now? Yeah.
Ian Crossland
But anyway, back to the story. Here's the point I'm bringing up. This is without a doubt a seditious conspiracy. GROK and chatgpt both said it's not because those require the use of force, physical force. And so when Enrique Tario directed from behind the scenes far away, both GPT and GRO say that is organizing use of force, therefore seditious conspiracy. However, when it was asked is coercion force? It says yes. Then when you ask it if. If someone in government used color of law enforcement to illegally arrest, attain and undermine the government to steal power, is that Force. He goes, no. And so you have to, no matter what you do. And this is not going to this point. Obama, his administration, in this conspiracy, used physical force against Trump. They raided his home. There was the threat of force and the use of it when they arrested his campaign staffers and advisors. That is the use of force to steal power from this country to overthrow it. That's a seditious conspiracy. When I asked it why it wouldn't just say yes, that's how the conversation arose, where it said it avoids making definitive statements about powerful groups that can wield their influence against it. Amazing, huh?
Tim Pool
It totally underscores the weakness of AI. I mean, it's very good if you want to get facts, if you want to get, like, hard data, but if you were asking for nuance or opinion about something else, it's just draw. There's too many differing sources for it to draw from. And it's just a really horrible job. And like that Coldplay concert last week, it was a picture up there. And, you know, that picture was posted and Grok identified it as being Corey Comparatori and his wife right before he was shot in Butler. So, I mean, like, it has no idea what was going on, the image, because somebody had posted that somewhere and so it's spitting that out.
Ian Crossland
So funny thing is, it's just crazy. I didn't get a chance to comment on that. But if they literally did nothing, just smiled and waved, there'd be no story.
Shane Cashman
Well, he was holding it, right?
Ian Crossland
Yes. If, if, if, if while he was holding her, they just smiled and rocked back and forth and waved, the camera would have changed and no one would have said anything.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Anyway, I digress. Back to the point about Obama. Do you guys agree this is a treasonous conspiracy, seditious conspiracy, and should these people all be arrested? I would everybody say yes. I get it.
Phil Labonte
I would love to see a jury actually decide. I don't know that a jury would actually convict them. I honestly don't know that a jury would convict Obama. I think there's probably more chance of a jury convicting someone like Brennan or Comey or other people that, that are involved than Barack Obama, because I think Barack Obama is still so popular with most Americans. And the idea of convicting the president this long after he's out of office, I think that most, most Americans will find that objectionable. I would like to see it. That doesn't mean that I think that it would happen.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I think it'd be great to have the evidence finally come out to light not that we haven't known about it for a long time. Yes, people have been paying attention. You know, it's been covered extensively. But to have it be presented in such a really public forum would be great. I don't know, though. Treason as defined. Treason, I think, is the only. If I'm. If my memory serves me correctly, it's the only crime defined in the Constitution.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And it has a very narrow definition, and I don't think that what Barack Obama did meets the definition of treason in the Constitution. Guilty of a crime. Yes. But treason gets thrown around a lot by people online, and I don't think that this is treason.
Ian Crossland
Sedition. And this. Is this what I have to explain, because people. People throw treason around to mean that you've undermined your country. Treason means betrayal is like, okay, if. If me and Phil are. You know, we're gonna. We're gonna deal. And then I go to Phil's chief rival, Shane, and give Shane all the secrets I have betrayed Phil to Shane. That's treason. So it requires loving war against the United States or adhering to its enemies. Loving war typically. Typically was referred to mean that you were literally, like, raising an army and then attacking the government. Seditious conspiracy. However, I love pulling this one up. It's one of my favorites. Let's pull it up now. Because Grok these. Okay, I'll tell you why I'm so pissed off about the AI thing. Component of this. It's a reflection of the institutions. No, we had this journalist on. Literally, no matter what Democrats do, these people just tell you to sit down and shut your mouth. There is nothing you can do about it. And that pisses me off. So when I'm talking to a journalist and I say, democrats arrested Donald Trump's lawyers. Well, you know, you're allowed to arrest people. Okay, well, they did it under false pretenses, accusing Jenna Ellis of rico, which is insane. Simply because she drafted a letter. Well, you know, I mean, it's. Your prosecutors are allowed to do it. And I'm like, okay, should Trump prosecute them? No, that'd be wrong. So what do we do to remedy the fact that we have a rogue political faction in this country violating the law to win political power? Guess you can't do anything. So when I talk to Grok, when I'm typing in the stupid AI Chatbot, it's this smarmy, weaselly. There's nothing you can do about it. We can do whatever you want. And I'm like, okay, well, we'll vote for Trump. Again and again and again. I don't care what does. Because at this point, here's what it says. If two or more persons in any state or territory, in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the US Conspire to overthrow, put down, or destroy by force the government, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force, blah, blah, blah. Grok says it's not a seditious conspiracy, because a political conspiracy doesn't use force, even when you're using law enforcement against your political opponents, which is insane. It is the pinnacle of sophistry. It is the pinnacle of, of this, of this liberal cult. It's like when I was sitting down, I'm going to throw it to myself. When I was sitting down with Adam Conover and he, and he was defending that woman, I forgot her name, she got arrested and she got her citizen, her visa revoked for criticizing Israel or whatever. And I said, well, you know, that's the, the, the jurisdiction of Rubio. He decides whether if you go to a country and you speak out against them and break their laws, they can enforce it against you. And he argued against that. And then I said, okay, so go to the UK and make jokes about Islam. And he was like, huh? I'm confused.
Tim Pool
I don't get it. What are you talking about?
Ian Crossland
What does that even mean? I'm just so confused about everything right now. I said, let me help unconfuse you. You would not go to any other country and play that game as if. As if the people watching are so stupid they can't read it themselves and understand what's happening in this initiative conspiracy law. This is what it's like talking to these, these, these journalists and these AI as they're built upon this psychotic sophistry. It literally says conspire to overthrow. There's no use of force implied in that. And if the argument was literally from those who crafted this law, that you could overthrow the government through financial terrorism or through political manipulation and blackmail, but not force that was allowed is the stupidest argument ever, ever made by anybody. I am sick of hearing it from our institutions like mainstream press and now this big tech garbage that no matter what, Trump is wrong and you can't do anything about it. I'm like, dude, after the 800th time, looking at these AI chat bots, okay? And again, I don't show the AI thing away. The point is they are aggregates of the corporate press. The attitude of the New York Times is Democrats have never done anything wrong. Trump is always wrong. And when you finally do catch Democrats, you can't actually bring charges against them. I'm sick of it. I'm done. The same thing is true with defamation. How many times over the past 10 years have we seen the corporate press lie about everything one of a prominent conservative has said? And they go, well, you can't sue for defamation. You just can't do it. You can sit down, shut up, and take your beatings like a good boy.
Shane Cashman
Maybe, maybe the investigations into Act Blue will show connections between leftist politicians funding violence that could lead to something like that.
Phil Labonte
That's, that's. I mean, it's already. That information is kind of already out there. The right, the NGOs and, and organizations that have funded protests and riots throughout all of 2020. Throughout. What, what have. All the protesting rights that have already taken place in 2025. They're all funded by, by NGOs, and it's coming from, you know, the American taxpayer.
Shane Cashman
Right. Well, Kamala had her staff actually, like putting out bail money for arsonists. Yeah, we've done that for five years too.
Tim Pool
The whole no Kings baloney too. I mean, that was just, just Astroturf. I mean, Astroturf baloney. There was nothing. It's gank about it.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, it's frustrating as a conservative to be aware of this stuff or just being on the right, even though I'm not particularly conservative, but I am on the right, and to know that this stuff happens and to try to discuss it with someone and then people that are normies or on the left are just like, oh, no, it never happens. And it's, it's, it's like, look, man, you can point to all these things that have happened. There's, there's the argument that, oh, the left never actually engages in violence. But you can go to the baseball shooting, the, the attacks on Tesla, you know, the, the attacks on all of the rioting in 2020, those things are all leftist violence. But the left, with people on the left will say the left is never violent. You know, it's. And so, yes, it's, it's extremely frustrating and I wish there was something more that could be done about it, but I'm hopeful that the fact that the Democrats don't have access to the taxpayer fund the way that they used to with. With NGOs and stuff, I'm hopeful that that might change something.
Ian Crossland
The concern, of course, is that they released this because they need a distraction from Epstein. They needed to change the subject. Trump was in the presidency when this was going down, and he failed to Take action against it. Now that he's in, it does look like we are getting some action. And so I don't think it's just a distraction. Right. They announced the investigations into Brennan and Comey, and now you've got Tulsi Gabbard saying treasonous conspiracy. Those are bold claims to make. Okay, so I don't think it's just a distraction, but the fear, of course, is that they're just doing this so that everyone gets off the Epstein story and then nothing happens.
Shane Cashman
This is a major story and it should be taken seriously. I don't think it's.
Ian Crossland
I don't.
Shane Cashman
I mean, I do feel like it's kind of a distraction, but it's something that's connected to the Epstein story in terms of. This is part of that deep state invisible network of factions working against, you know, their political enemies. Obama's filled with scandals. I mean, there's a ton of things I'd love to see him on. Trials, trials for Fast and Furious war crimes. The drone strikes, his definition of a terrorist that he used from, from Bush, the killer stuff that you were talking about on Friday. You know, and there's, there's other stuff out there that I'd love to see looked into from his administration. Like the whole narrative of the Osama bin Laden killed killing. You can look up Seymour Horses reporting on that. Like, they question that, you know, and there's a lot of weird inconsistencies from the Osama bin Laden killing that they claim. Someone like Seymour Hirsch, who's a great journalist, who broke stuff like the family jewels that led to cointelpro and the church committee hearings. You know, I would love to see all that stuff just kind of peeled apart.
Ian Crossland
Indeed.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm not particularly up on what people think the, the Gothic Serpent conspiracy is, but I mean, for which. Well, the, the, the obl, the, for the Osama.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, but like if that, if there is something there and the reporting is very interesting along with the inconsistencies, the DNA testing, whatever, going to the minutiae of it. But like, the idea is that the Obama administration used that to help get reelected. You know, that's just one of many issues with that entire administration. The whole administration seems like it was treason against this country.
Ian Crossland
I agree. Let's jump to this next story from cnn. DHS Secretary blames New York City officials Sanctuary city's policies for shooting of off duty Border patrol agent. So an illegal immigrant. Do we know why this happened? You see the video footage just walks up to an off duty border patrol. Border patrol agent and shoots him. And this is crazy. The 42 year old officers in stable condition expected to survive. There was no indication he was targeted because of his employment. The officer was not in uniform, was sitting with a woman in Riverside park beneath the George Washington Bridge when two men approached on on a moped. One of the men approached the officer who realized he was being robbed and drew his service weapon. They both fired their weapons and the officer was shot in the face and arm. The perpetrator was wounded before he got back on the moped and drove away. Authorities identified Miguel Mora, 21 year old. Is it? What is a CNN undocumented illegal immigrant with an extensive criminal past as a person of interest. He arrived at Bronx Hospital with gunshot wounds to the groin and legal and was taken into custody. After the attack, the New York City Police department asked hospitals in the area to be on the lookout for patients with gunshot wounds, which led them to Mora after a search. Moore's alleged accomplice, who was also undocumented, was arrested Monday. Noem said apparently he entered the country illegally. In 23, he was detained and released because of their sanctuary policies, only to go on and try to murder a man in cold blood. And, and I wonder how often he's gotten away with this without anyone stopping him. And this is what their policies have brought this country. So a moment ago, I think, Shane, you were saying that all of the actions of the previous administration seemed like treason against this country. You said treason.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, okay, sedition. I know, I know, yeah. Treason sounds so good though.
Ian Crossland
It does. But it was to destroy, undermine and overthrow this country. There's no other explanation.
Tim Pool
They even imported their modus operandi for.
Phil Labonte
For crime mopeds, you know.
Tim Pool
I know. Seriously, I mean, how many clips have you seen of like Brazil and Latin America, you know, where it's the duo on the motorcycle, you know, they stop, one guy gets off. But in Brazil, people are strapped and like sometimes it doesn't end well for those people, you know, so. But that is not a type of crime that I remember happening here in the United States. Like, you know, two people on a moped, one guy gets off. Give me your stuff, get back on the moped. That's not the type of stuff that was going on in New York City 20 years ago.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I mean, to be honest with you, I don't think that I've seen that kind of robbery frequently in the U.S. usually they're, you know, strong arms and they're people walking. I don't know that this, like. Like, I have no, obviously no inside knowledge as to if this guy was targeted because he's a border patrol agent. But it does, you know, bring to mind all of the Democrats that are saying that we should pass legislation. It says that border patrol or police can't wear masks. Today with the Internet is a different time than it was 30 years ago. So the idea that you don't have to try to protect your family if you're a law enforcement officer, that's ridiculous. I mean, there's always been some kind of. Of danger for the. For the families of law enforcement officers. There's stories of the mob getting, you know, finding out about whose family or what are those kind of things happening?
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
When the Mafia was. Was prevalent. But nowadays with online searches being so simple, you know, I think that, that the idea that the. That your average law enforcement officer can't cover his face, that's ridiculous. And the. And Democrats that are trying to push that are putting law enforcement in danger.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And the facial recognition software out there that can be used to find somebody from just a picture.
Phil Labonte
Yep.
Tim Pool
It's not just like your pictures in the paper, hey, I know that guy. It's like, here's a face. Let me find who this is. It's a totally different thing.
Shane Cashman
Clearview AI. Yeah. It's crazy.
Phil Labonte
So I. I don't know. I don't. I mean, I don't have a whole lot more to say about this particular issue, but the. The idea that law enforcement can't cover their face, I think we're cooked.
Ian Crossland
You know what I was thinking that the stories seem to be getting crazier, especially the Tulsi Obama stuff, and people don't care. You know, people. People just because I wonder if the. The reality of life is community is all that matters, and community news is all that matters to a person for the most part. I remember I was having a conversation with. It was. It was my cousin's family, and they had like a teenage daughter, and they were joking how she doesn't care at all about the news. And I said, she care. You care about the. I looked at. I was like, you care about the news? And she's like, no, I don't. And I was like, you do. It's just news to me is different than news to you. So, like, let's try this. Think of somebody you hate in your. In your. In your class. And she's like, okay. And I'm like, okay, now they're in charge. Do you care about what they're Doing? Yeah. And I'm like, so they get to make the rules for you now? And she's like, oh, my God. And I'm like, wouldn't you and your friends talk about what they were doing? Yeah, that's the news. See, we're all adults. We pay taxes, we vote, so we care about that particular thing. You care about your community. The reason I bring that up is the more this stuff happens, the crazier things get. Doesn't change whether people care about what's going on. We, we, we see your traditional media cycles and everyone is acting like the past seven or eight years is normal. So when we talk about. I was talking with Mike Davis earlier and I asked him this very simple question about, I mean, I mean, to tie into what we're talking about, New York, California, these other states have sanctuary policies that undermine the government, that give Democrats a power boost, and it's resulted in Obama gate and all of these things. And so I asked him, I'll ask you guys this now, with Tulsi going after them and saying they should be prosecuted, with the DOJ saying they are investigating, do you believe that the Obama cabal, or whatever you want to call it, is simply going to say, you got us. All right, take us in?
Shane Cashman
No, definitely not.
Ian Crossland
What, do you think they will.
Tim Pool
No.
Ian Crossland
Do you think, do you think they will resist in any way?
Shane Cashman
Yes. Everywhere.
Tim Pool
They'll prevaricate, they'll lie, they'll do whatever they have to to just, you know, make it go under, under the rug.
Ian Crossland
Or whatever they have to.
Tim Pool
Yeah, well, within reason. There are some things they can't do.
Ian Crossland
I think that's, that's silly to be.
Shane Cashman
I think it's beyond within reason. I think these people think raiding Trump's.
Ian Crossland
Home with guns and in order to shoot, shoot to kill if need be, is psychotic.
Tim Pool
Oh, absolutely right.
Ian Crossland
And this is what Mike had pointed out.
Tim Pool
He said, what I was saying is that the people who did this would do whatever, within reason to avoid getting blamed for it. So that's what I was talking about there.
Ian Crossland
Right. So, so, so Tulsi has called for their prosecution. Trump has posted images of bombing arrested in the event they say we have issued grand jury indictments and intend to prosecute these individuals. Do they resist or do they simply say we've been caught?
Shane Cashman
They will not say.
Tim Pool
They're not going to say we've been caught.
Ian Crossland
They will, they'll, they'll, they'll resist.
Phil Labonte
They'll resist.
Tim Pool
They'll resist legal.
Shane Cashman
They'll take it out on the people.
Ian Crossland
So so you believe Bricksuit, that in the event Feds show up to Obama's house with coughs and say, right this way, he'll go, you got me? Take me in, boys.
Shane Cashman
What will we do driving a Bronco really fast?
Tim Pool
All right, well, on this hypothesis, if, if president, if. If President Obama is going to be arrested, it would be communicated that it would be a negotiated arrest. It's not going to be. We're just showing up and doing it. So in the case of him, it's a little bit different because he does have Secret Service protection. You can't just roll up like that. That's going to be different.
Ian Crossland
Okay, what about Comey?
Tim Pool
Comey? Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Knock on his door at 3 in the morning with CNN waiting outside? Not CNN. Let's do Breitbart.
Tim Pool
Well, wouldn't you find Comey on the beach looking at shells? Why is he going to be at home?
Ian Crossland
So do you believe that when law enforcement shows up for Comey and he'll put his hands behind his back and they'll say, you're going away for life, buddy. And he'll go, okay, you got me?
Shane Cashman
Oh, okay. When you say resist, I'm thinking they're going to resist in a way. They're going to shout on the American people. But I think when they show up to arrest, they will actually go in. They want those optics of looking like.
Ian Crossland
The victim to resist in any way. Okay, are they going to use the legal apparatus?
Tim Pool
Legal, yes.
Ian Crossland
Manipulation through the press, falsification of evidence. And would they escalate to force if they were losing?
Shane Cashman
Absolutely.
Phil Labonte
I mean, technically, there's. There's an argument to be made that they've already tried to use force.
Ian Crossland
They raided Donald Trump's home on false pretexts with instructions to shoot to kill if need be.
Tim Pool
Correct.
Ian Crossland
And Mike Davis pointed this out, and I think he hit the nail on the head with the hammer. The speculation at the time was that Trump had declassified Crossfire Hurricane, but that it had not been released. So the speculation was that Trump took it with him, or at least copies of it, so they could release what the Obama administration had done, this criminal conspiracy, and they were willing to kill to get it back. That's why they did not prosecute Joe Biden and that's why they raided Mar a Lago.
Shane Cashman
And if the media creates this caricature of Trump being like the next Hitler, then his death at the hands of these agents won't be so bad to half the country.
Ian Crossland
So the reason I ask these questions is just that we are at this point where, how insane is it to say? And let's, let's, I'm going to, I'm going to try and be as neutral as possible. Donald Trump's home was raided by federal law enforcement and they were authorized to use lethal force in the event they, they, they were met with, with commensurate force. Do you believe anyone in 2015 would believe you if you told them, in seven years federal law enforcement will raid Donald Trump's beachfront property armed with instructions to use lethal force force against the patrons and residents should they be met with commensurate force? People would say, nice movie, nice movie.
Tim Pool
They wouldn't say, nice movie. They'd say, that's unbelievable baloney.
Ian Crossland
And then it happened. And that's not the only thing that did happen. It has been going on nonstop. And so the reason I bring up cultural cohesion and all this stuff is if you go to a bar and you mention this to your average person, you're gonna get one or two answers depending on your jurisdiction. You're a fascist. You made it up or. Yep, and we know it. And then what happens? Is it that societies devolve through norm, this desensitization, this normalization to where off duty border patrol agents are shot and killed in New York and the people in New York do not care. They're protesting Colbert right now out in the streets. Oh, bring back my show where they complain about Trump. Meanwhile, an off duty border patrol guy was shot in the face. Yeah, it's terrifying that if you went Back to the 90s, any one of these things would have been the biggest scandal. There would have been mobilization, it would've been nuts. Instead, it's happening almost every single day. And the American people are like, I don't care at all.
Tim Pool
Do you think, Tim, do you think that. I think I've been following the Trump administration really closely and their pace of stories that are coming out from the administration. It's just victory after victory after victory in my eyes here. But, but it's not like with, under Biden. You'd have a story and then that would just go on for like a week. The news cycle is so much faster. It feels like under Trump, because they had four years to think about what are we going to do when we get back in the saddle to make everything right again. And they're executing on that right now at a pace that people aren't used to out of the presidency. So do you think that there may be some, you know, fatigue from the public about another story from The White House. Another story from the White House.
Ian Crossland
That's the point is that desensitization is a human trait. That means that so long as you don't shake too hard, people will tolerate whatever it is that is going on. And I'm not saying that anyone's orchestrating it. I'm saying the temperature is rising, but we are frogs in a pot. If you turn, if you crank the knob to 11, we're going to go and we're going to jump out. But you slowly increment it up and people are just like, this is the same as it's always been. They can't tell the difference. And so they're gonna keep going about their business. They're. It's remarkable to me that there's gonna be a kid who is today a teenager voting for the first time in 2028, and he's 15 now, born in 2010, and he'll be voting in 2028 and he'll be like, it's completely normal that political parties try to kill the their rivals and put them in prison. And we're going to tell them that is not true. Like again, Mary Morgan saying nothing ever happens because she. How old is Mary?
Phil Labonte
23, 24.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. I got to shout out Mary every time because I, I use her as an example and she's like, Tim's got a problem with me saying nothing ever happens. And it is kind of funny. But this Gen Z host from Pop Culture crisis shout out to says nothing ever happens. And it's like, my God, the amount of things that won't stop happening is frying our brains. But if you were born into this world, it's normal.
Shane Cashman
But I think political violence in America is a tradition since the very beginning. You know, my grandparents lived through the 60s and 70s. Nothing there. New York City was completely like a war zone. They had just seen president's head get blown up. I think it's completely normal. But people like you're saying are desensitized.
Ian Crossland
No, perhaps it's the inverse. Perhaps that we had this golden age, this golden period of the 90s, where, don't get me wrong, the 90s had bad stuff. Oklahoma City bombing was one of them.
Shane Cashman
A lot of bad stuff.
Ian Crossland
A lot of bad stuff. Louisiana riots. But it was politically stable. Despite those, those acts of violence, the.
Shane Cashman
Illusion was still strong for most of the American public in the 90s.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Like there is no illusion anymore.
Ian Crossland
But here's the other thing too. Even after Gore v. Bush. Yeah. It didn't turn into this.
Phil Labonte
I think Part of the reason why that, why we have that sense though, is the 90s were somewhat stable. And also after 9 11, there was that, you know, almost 10 years of everybody felt like they were on the same team. It took probably, I mean, it took at least seven, eight years after 9 11, you know, 2008, 2009, when Barack Obama was elected, when people started to really start to, to stop having that unified we're all Americans vibe. You know what I mean? It was there mostly through the aughts. And then once Barack Obama took. Took office and, and you know, your cell phone became your computer. That's when you saw the political divide become almost untenable and, and, or at least sowing the seeds of what has become untenable now.
Shane Cashman
Obama is when I started to notice people's identities being completely attached to their politics. And you saying anything negative about their politician was an attack on them. Yeah, and it got really bad. It accelerated during that.
Phil Labonte
I wore a Barack Obama shirt with Barack Obama's face on it that said Poison at a shirt. Oh, no, it said poison on it. And I, in. In Brooklyn, we were playing a show with Volvi in 2012, I think, and people. I was walking around town, you know, walking around Brooklyn, and people literally gasped when they saw their. Because, you know, I mean, they couldn't. Who would say that about Barack Obama.
Tim Pool
You know, Nobel Prize winner, right? Scandal free. Scandal free. Scandal free. Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, absolutely.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. Made all those mixtapes for us. He reads books.
Ian Crossland
Well, we got big news, ladies and gentlemen. Check this story out from cnn. And boy, how is this story flying under the radar? Visiting the US will soon cost you $250. Let's go. All them Europeans. You want to come here on a freebie and come hang out? 250. You want to come here illegally? 250. See, this is a brilliant play. Wealthy Europeans and Asians who want to come visit. It's a visa fee and they can pay it. As for the people who come from poorer countries and then overstay their visas, they cannot do it. It's too expensive. This is a brilliant move by the Trump administration. It's a crazy story. They say the US Will require international visitors to pay a new visa integrity fee of at least $250 added to existing visa application costs. According to a provision in the Trump administration's recently enacted domestic policy bill, the fee will apply to all visitors who are required to obtain non immigrant visas. So to be fair. Let me. Let me slow down this, like, I don't know if this will apply to European countries, it says tourists and business travelers from countries that are part of the visa waiver program, including Australia and European countries aren't required to obtain visas. We call that visa on entry or visa waiver. So they're exempt from this. This is going to cut illegal immigration overstays massively.
Phil Labonte
So the countries that are listed on the, the, the visa arrival or whatever, that's like the uk, That's Canada. Those are the. Essentially the descendants of the.
Ian Crossland
Of England.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, yeah. So, so I mean, that's a. I'm.
Tim Pool
Sorry, it says up there. I didn't know this part. It says that travelers who comply with their visa conditions can have their fees reimbursed after the trip is over.
Ian Crossland
The point is you got to leave, right?
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
And then you get your money back. Correct. It's amazing.
Tim Pool
I like that.
Shane Cashman
It's like the shopping carts at Aldi.
Ian Crossland
Exactly.
Phil Labonte
Quarter in. You gotta.
Ian Crossland
I'm surprised this story is not hitting a lot harder tonight with more individuals. It's only for a couple hours ago, but this is massive. Trump has talked quite a bit about these overstays and now you ain't getting in unless you got the deposit. This is masterfully done.
Phil Labonte
Well, you know, this just proves a Trump sailor, so.
Ian Crossland
That's right.
Phil Labonte
Clearly, clearly, clearly Trump.
Ian Crossland
You know Hitler's famous policy of please leave my country and I will pay you. Yep. To be. To be fair, actually, he did try.
Phil Labonte
That $1,000 for forever.
Ian Crossland
Not, not. Not this way. I could be completely wrong about this, but the first thing he tried doing was shipping Moloff on boats to random countries. The Jews. And then people were like, screw you. What?
Tim Pool
And so they got refused too.
Ian Crossland
Right.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Lincoln tried that too.
Ian Crossland
With slaves.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. We're going to send it to link on you.
Phil Labonte
Well, that was Liberia is the whole existence for that country is because we were sending slaves back.
Ian Crossland
Remarkable. How Liberia was. Was found was based upon the American form of governance. And now they have cannibals.
Phil Labonte
I don't know if this is true, but I hear that their constitution is word for word the same as the US Constitution. I'm pretty sure that's what I've heard.
Tim Pool
Let me just throw this out here too. Like if somebody's paying a visa integrity fee of 250 and then you know that they haven't left the country, are they going to go look at the records of how that was paid and see what they're buying now?
Phil Labonte
Think, well, you know, where are they?
Tim Pool
What? You know, which hotel are they staying?
Ian Crossland
In.
Tim Pool
Where are they living at? What are they, what are they charging? I mean, are they going to start using those, those records to track those people down?
Shane Cashman
They will.
Tim Pool
I sure hope so.
Phil Labonte
I mean, I like the idea, but you know that.
Tim Pool
I sure hope so.
Shane Cashman
The only thing that's scary about that is that's like the Patriot act, you know, being used. But I'm saying eventually it'll be used against all of us.
Phil Labonte
The idea. Well, the idea that the government can't find an American or wouldn't be able to find an American nowadays, like, if you're on the run, you can't use your credit card. You can't use any. You can't use your cell phone. Like, you're there. The days of being able to disappear and use whatever is modern technology, those days are long gone. You can. If you want to disappear. You're living on cash and you're not using a cell.
Shane Cashman
Don't go to McDonald's.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, you get. You can't go to McDonald's. You can't do anything, essentially, you know, so the. I understand people make the argument, oh, you know, what about privacy? What about privacy? You gave it up a long time ago. If you, if you live in the modern world and use any, doesn't mean.
Shane Cashman
We shouldn't still protest it, you know, because, like, it's just getting worse and worse. The Patriot act started it. Well, I mean, no, no, it went decades before that with Cointelpro and Echelon.
Phil Labonte
I don't know that it is getting worse, because I think it is. I don't, I don't know that it can be worse. I can now the government can, can subpo your Amazon when you, when you talk to your Amazon Alexa. So I don't know. I don't think that it can be worse than people that are purchasing a product that will monitor.
Shane Cashman
Get worse.
Phil Labonte
They're. They're in, you know, their conversation in their home.
Shane Cashman
It will get worse when they can monitor your thoughts. I mean, they're working on, they're already working on it.
Phil Labonte
I don't know that, that the government. I don't, I don't know how close we are to being able to actually read people's thoughts.
Shane Cashman
That is doing it right now.
Phil Labonte
I know that there's, there's. I know the part of the show.
Shane Cashman
Where Shane's derailed it now.
Phil Labonte
I mean, it's.
Shane Cashman
But it is happening. It like they are doing that thing. They're working towards those things. That's what neural Link will eventually do when it becomes a product of vanity rather than a product of trying to fix people who are paraplegic or deaf. That is, I think that's how it does get worse is being inside of your brain.
Tim Pool
But aren't they going to need an actual implant?
Shane Cashman
Well, yeah, I think they're going to.
Tim Pool
It'S not real read people. I mean, you're going to have the implants. They're basically going to tap into your neuralink. But if you're like a stock trader, like you said, a vanity.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, that's what I think.
Tim Pool
You don't have a defect.
Shane Cashman
It's two things. It'll be like I said, the neuralink will become a thing of vanity where it won't just be a thing to help fix people, it'll be we all had to have one like we have a smartphone. But it'll also be the way they quantify your algorithms and use that in a social credit score to destroy you in all possible ways, which there are already doing with banking and flying and Airbnbs and you, you name it. But I do think it will get worse.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, it's not going to get better.
Shane Cashman
It's definitely not going to get better.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I mean there's always, unless they turn it off, there's, there's always the possibility of like a big solar flare taking out the entire electric grid.
Tim Pool
That's true. Meteor, you guys know that meteor would end it also. But that's not really something we want to have happen.
Ian Crossland
You guys, you guys know that Tom Homan is a, I guess a representative for EMP shield. Oh, really? Talking about, you know, big solar flare, just taking everything out. Don't worry, Tom Holman's got you covered.
Shane Cashman
Really?
Ian Crossland
The threat EMP is real and I highly recommend EMP shield.
Phil Labonte
What is e. Interesting.
Ian Crossland
And this has been for years, in fact, this is not a new development. I saw.
Tim Pool
What's the product?
Ian Crossland
Devin H Super chatted. I, I, I don't know, should I pull this?
Shane Cashman
Is it an actual shield size or.
Tim Pool
Is it like a little EMP?
Phil Labonte
SHIELD is the world's first EMP protection technology for an entire home and vehicle tested military UL 1449 standards from entire home, apparently also.
Ian Crossland
My name is Tom Holman.
Tim Pool
I'm the former ICE director and President Donald Trump and I'm here to ask.
Ian Crossland
America to wake up. You can protect yourself.
Tim Pool
At the same time protect this great nation.
Ian Crossland
The threat of electromagnetic pulse is real emp.
Tim Pool
If you don't know what it is, look it up. It's a matter of life and death. I recently partnered With a Midwest company.
Ian Crossland
Veteran owned that has developed a device you can hook up to your home.
Tim Pool
Or your vehicle to protect you against the EMP.
Shane Cashman
I highly encourage you to go to.
Tim Pool
Empshield.Com and research this device again. It will protect you in the long term. Protect this great nation. Thank you.
Phil Labonte
I'm very interested to find out what this shield does.
Tim Pool
I wonder what that is.
Ian Crossland
There's more. Oh, no, the only the grid's going.
Tim Pool
Down stuff like a Faradig cage, you know, where you had an actual like.
Ian Crossland
Fair, fair day cage, probably still wouldn't even work.
Shane Cashman
You got to be like underground, Right.
Ian Crossland
It's also a buddy of mine has, has an industrial Faraday cage in his warehouse where he does actual cell research and contracting and stuff. And when you walk in, your phone does stop working. However, if you go into the corner of it, your phone starts working again. And I asked him about it and he says the tower is too close. So I was like, well, but this is a Faraday cage, right? And he was like, it's going to get through. You know, it's hard to have it perfect. You, if there's a solar flare emp, it's going to get through your standard Faraday cage. So he said you need like a Faraday cage and a Faraday cage. And a Faraday cage.
Tim Pool
I mean, isn't that why in West.
Ian Crossland
Virginia they have that area where they.
Phil Labonte
Have like the really like the phone.
Tim Pool
Off zone where you can't like have.
Ian Crossland
Your cell phone out?
Shane Cashman
That's where the astronomers are. Yeah, yeah. They have that big telescope. Yeah, sounds like quiet area.
Ian Crossland
What is it when you go in, you can't use your phone.
Shane Cashman
I think they have like no appliances.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
What is it in West Virginia?
Tim Pool
I believe it's radio telescope.
Shane Cashman
Oh, yeah, let's do it though. Radio telescope, Southwest Virginia.
Ian Crossland
Right. It's, it's, it's deeper Washington than we are in. But yeah, something like that.
Shane Cashman
I'm moving, right?
Ian Crossland
Yeah, yeah, this is it. This is.
Phil Labonte
So you connect to your breaker box. It's just, it's a small box. It's 400 bucks. It's not Green Bank.
Tim Pool
I saw that place.
Phil Labonte
I don't know, I'm looking for like.
Ian Crossland
A surge absorber or something.
Phil Labonte
I'm looking for the, for how it works. But they won't make them for your vehicle. It can protect from lightning strikes as well. Because lightning strikes can mess up your electrical, your electrical power in the house. And it can protect from. From solar coronal mass ejections. Yeah. Up to 22 up to 228 000amps lightning 100 lightning back lightning guarantee backed by a 25000 insurance policy. The EMP protections is all of phases of EMP E1, E2 and E3. I'm not sure what that means but I'm. I'm definitely going to be looking into this.
Shane Cashman
Does it stop radio frequencies for mind control.
Phil Labonte
Derailing the conversation again?
Shane Cashman
I think that's a pretty important thing to most people watching. I could be wrong but most people I speak to in day to day life care about my control radio frequency.
Phil Labonte
I'm sure they. I'm sure the people.
Shane Cashman
You heard of this.
Phil Labonte
You do. I'm sure they do. Shane.
Shane Cashman
Haven't heard of this.
Ian Crossland
All right, I'm going to Green Bank. How far away is it? Oh, it's so close, dude.
Tim Pool
The real estate value, it's a day trip. The real estate values there are just phenomenal bargain. So I think, I think independently of this, I think I saw a clip where like homes are like 30,000, $40,000.
Shane Cashman
There's no podcasting.
Tim Pool
Seriously, like no.
Ian Crossland
You could hardline. I'm sure they got Internet. You can't use cell phones and radiotech maybe.
Tim Pool
Probably can't have wi fi though.
Shane Cashman
No, I was hoping it was just Amish and one giant telescope.
Ian Crossland
Oh man.
Phil Labonte
This doesn't look like it has an effect on your on whether or not you can use the Internet or whatever. In fact it says that it has Internet connection or Internet protection. Excuse me, Radio protection.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, it's three. It's a three hour drive. Looks like it looks like we'll make a weekend trip.
Tim Pool
Look, I'll go if the paw paws are in season. But the paw paws aren't in season yet. I'm here like a month early.
Ian Crossland
Oh brother. Paw paws are right here. We got 80 million of them.
Tim Pool
I know, but they're not ripe right now.
Ian Crossland
I don't think they're good. I. Oh, you love them.
Tim Pool
I like paw paws. I do.
Ian Crossland
What do you got? What do you think, Shane? You like the paw paw?
Shane Cashman
I have never had that.
Tim Pool
Really?
Phil Labonte
I've never had it Pop.
Ian Crossland
There's probably like 5,000 at the castle every September and they just fall onto the ground and rot.
Shane Cashman
Is this what you made the jelly with once?
Ian Crossland
No, that was wine berry.
Shane Cashman
Oh yeah. Okay, so I haven't had these now.
Ian Crossland
You know, it's kind of wild. The castle had was. I was like it ridiculous. How much food was there? Several apple trees, cherry trees, grapes everywhere. It was nuts here. Freedomistan. Some Berries hidden in the back. But paw paws is, is a legit. I would imagine that if you were living here as, say, like a pioneer or farmer, you'd be excited to find them. But I don't like them. It's good. They say it's like. It's like mango, avocado, banana combined, I guess.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it's custardy and it's got those weird seeds in it. But, you know, for those of you.
Ian Crossland
Pollinated by beetles and flies, and for.
Tim Pool
Those of you who don't know what we're talking about, the thing is this fruit is. Gets ripe so fast and then goes bad so quickly that it could never be commercialized. So it's a real. It was a real staple at the time, but you just, you know, there was no way to make money off it, which is why you don't see it in your supermarket.
Ian Crossland
Same thing with mulberries. Incredibly common out here, but they break when you, when you grab it. It just, it starts popping and breaking apart. So they're really hard to harvest. And. Yeah, I don't think they taste good either, to be honest. The wine berries, an invasive Chinese berry. It's illegal to transport. They're delicious.
Phil Labonte
Transport at all.
Ian Crossland
Yes, it's an invasive species that came from China off of these cargo ships.
Phil Labonte
Huh?
Ian Crossland
Yep. Hey, let's jump to this next story. We got this from the New York Post. Trump threatens Commander's 3.7 billion dollar stadium deal over Redskins name change. Epic. So I've not seen anybody rocking Commander's gear.
Phil Labonte
No.
Ian Crossland
I was playing poker over the weekend and a guy had a Redskins shirt on. I bought my Redskin Ziploc bags and they changed the name and I put it in the storage unit because it's gonna be worth a lot of money soon unless Trump changes it back.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, right.
Phil Labonte
If they, if they change the logo, that. As opposed. If they change it back and they don't go to the old logo, then you might have a little value there. But the, the whole Commander's Redskins thing. Look, the poor Washington Redskins have been terrible for a long time. It's. It's a sad state of state of affairs. So if I were the owner of the team, I would do anything I could to help try to get that team out of the, the doghouse. Because the poor Redskins have been awful for a long time. And I actually am a little on the. I have a soft spot for the Redskins, even though I'm not a, you know, from D.C. but still, you know, I, I think that, I think that Anything they can do to. To help bring some attention to the team and maybe. Maybe help the team win some games.
Ian Crossland
Trump says I may put a restriction on them, that if they don't change the name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous moniker Washington Commanders, I won't make a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington. I gotta be honest, I feel like a lot of the people associated with the team are probably gonna be like, oh, thank God. Because they're largely forced to do it. It was all duress.
Tim Pool
Sure.
Ian Crossland
The weird cult took over and then we. We pushed them back and never again. Never again.
Phil Labonte
It certainly wasn't that the fans had, you know, a desire to change the name.
Ian Crossland
You know, most nor the family of the Native American depicted on the logo.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Who actually liked that there. Don't they get, like a royalty from it or something?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
I was at Four Corners recently, just a couple weeks ago, and I'm leaving Four Corners and I'm driving through Arizona, driving through an Indian reservation, and what do you think the mascot for the high school was?
Shane Cashman
White people.
Tim Pool
Redskins. Same logo. Really? Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Huh.
Shane Cashman
My high school is a Redskin as well. I hope it still is.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. I mean, I would like to see him change it.
Ian Crossland
There was a funny video. It was a post where some dude was like, sometimes it's hard to believe that the COVID era was real, but I sometimes play this video to remind myself. And it was some guy making a fake musical where he was running around his town singing about how after he gets his fourth vaccine. Not a joke, his fourth vaccine, he'll be able to go to shows and hang out with friends again at the bar. And it's like, that's how psychotic these people are. Do not let them have power. So we're taking it back.
Phil Labonte
I know.
Ian Crossland
Trump's got to bring the Columbus statue back to Columbus, Ohio.
Tim Pool
That would be great.
Ian Crossland
Can you believe that? They took that down?
Phil Labonte
They took. I mean, they took a lot of.
Shane Cashman
Teddy Roosevelt statue down outside of the Museum of Natural History.
Phil Labonte
They took a Teddy Roosevelt. Yeah, they took Teddy Roosevelt down. That's.
Ian Crossland
Yep.
Phil Labonte
Fairly shocking.
Ian Crossland
We were. We.
Tim Pool
How close were we losing Abraham Lincoln.
Ian Crossland
Statue in D.C. it is absolutely insane. They took. Didn't they take Jefferson out of, like, the capital or something?
Phil Labonte
Well, I mean, look, the. Everyone knows we talked about this a long time ago, but, like, everyone knows that the point of that wasn't that these people were uniquely bad. It was that they wanted to. They want to erase America's history.
Tim Pool
Right.
Phil Labonte
Because anyone that Communists or the left would hold up in high esteem. They've done equally terrible or worse things. So the idea that, that people that the left would, would want to memorialize are somehow more morally superior, that's just ridiculous. It's all about destroying America.
Shane Cashman
Cultural Revolution did the same thing for exact culture.
Ian Crossland
Did you guys see the Madi Hassan Jubilee?
Phil Labonte
I saw some of it.
Ian Crossland
It's one of the worst because he doesn't actually debate. He, he. His first premise is that Trump is pro crime for pardoning J6ers and it's like, well, that's just one incident of his supporters. But the problem I have with it, this is why we do the culture war. This is why we're doing the culture war live. That's why we're bringing people up on stage to debate us. Because I don't like how fake the debates are and it's frustrating for me to watch. So I don't blame the regular people for not knowing how to debate or having their, their thoughts. They have an idea they want answered. So they're basically asking a guy a question who doesn't answer the question fairly. The one of the premises that he had mediasan is that immigration is good for this country. And that's such a vague general statement that means nothing that he ends up, no matter what someone says, he argues that it proves his point that immigration is good. And it's like, okay, immigration. If you talk about like what let's say immigration meant, one guy came here to share, you know, how to build a nuclear reactor with our scientists. Yeah, it was fantastic. Immigration was great. Then you can argue 50 million people came here by force and over, okay, that's not good. So it's a silly statement, but I bring it up because the one thing nobody, nobody asks the guy is define good. And of course, what does he do? The whole debate, nobody asks him this, but he does bring up that it's good for the economy. It's the graph go up argument. So long as we're all making money, it's a good thing. Well, I argue this money isn't everything, okay? The Democrats only want their money. Donald Trump threatening to reverse or to block this unless they change their name back. Is Trump saying, there is something this country has had that I deeply care about and don't want taken away. It doesn't matter if you're an immigrant, doesn't matter if you were born here. What matters is that we had a football team. What matters that we had baseball fields. What matters is that we had the Christmas Market every year in our town, and we'd go to the local restaurant where the little train would go across the ceiling, hanging from the ceiling. And that was Christmas Eve. That was Christmas morning. And Trump says, I like that, and I want to keep it. And that's why I would argue media, son. If we're talking about immigration in the sense that handful of people would come and some changes are made slowly over time, it's like, sure, fine, whatever. But tearing down our statues.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Changing the names of streets, all of that weird, crackpot, commie revolutionary garbage must be reversed.
Tim Pool
Yeah. I mean, it's a huge difference between legal immigration with the goal of assimilation and adopting the American culture that doesn't exist anymore. I know it doesn't, but. But, you know, to the extent that it does, I do support it. There are still people who want to come to America, who want to become citizens, and if they come here legally and they're going to play by the rules, I support that.
Ian Crossland
So.
Tim Pool
But what we've had under Biden, of course, was uncontrolled immigration and Balkanization, where once you get in, it's not like, I want to become an American. I want to go live in the city. Minneapolis is right. Exactly. So, I mean, that's. And who's. Look at. Look at who's running for mayor there. I mean, it's crazy.
Ian Crossland
Okay, you've convinced me. In three years, I will be 42. I will be able to run for president, and my 1:1 policy will be limited migration. However, of the small amount we allow in, they must choose a sports team to represent. They must learn about it and wear those jerseys for two years as a requirement. Otherwise, out. So. And we'll keep an eye on you.
Phil Labonte
You're.
Ian Crossland
This guy will be. You know, he'll come in, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna pop over and say, hey, hey, hey, you took off that Cowboys jersey out.
Shane Cashman
What was last week's score?
Phil Labonte
You're more kind than I would be.
Ian Crossland
Why? Moratorium.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. Immigration. WNBA and years.
Tim Pool
Does the WNBA count as a sports team? I think we need to. No, that's out.
Shane Cashman
That's fake.
Ian Crossland
And. And actually, that's a trick question you'd actually ask. You ask the migrants, what's your favorite WNBA team? And if they answer out, that's good. And. Because the only acceptable answer is, what's the wnba?
Shane Cashman
Yes. I like that.
Ian Crossland
What does this. I have no idea. Yeah, you're good.
Tim Pool
WNBAs. The WNBA is the Colbert show of the sports world. Completely, completely subsidized by Its parent organization, despite having monumental losses.
Ian Crossland
Have you ever seen those compilations of women, the wnba. And it's just like, have you ever, ever watched wnba? No, it's, it's like a minute of them struggling to get the ball in and they can't do anything. And I'm like, I don't even, I don't even know what I'm watching.
Phil Labonte
They owe the viewers money. They owe tuning in. They should be paying the tuner.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, we should get reparations for any second watched.
Phil Labonte
Absolutely. I mean, look, I was watching Shaq today or I was watching a clip where Shaq was talking about it and he's like, look, they need to lower the, the, the rim. The rim that way that they, so that way they can get dunks. Because that's what people watch male basketball for. If I think that that's, that should be the next thing they do to try to get, to attract viewers. I don't think they're going to attract women dunking.
Ian Crossland
I don't, I don't care about the, the main point, however, is I don't care about. Yes, guys, it's low hanging fruit to rag on the wnba. I get it. And so I have no problem if, when any immigrant actually, here's what it is. If, when the immigrants come, the only way they can actually get a visa is if they agree that we'll get rid of the wnba. How about that? Deal. Okay, Phil? Deal? Yeah, okay, deal. If an immigrant comes in, you can be like, I don't care if you know what the Constitution. I don't care if you know about our laws. I don't care if you know about three branches. I want to know what you think about the wnba. Get rid of it. You're in, buddy.
Tim Pool
Let's put that in with the Visa Integrity program that if they buy a wnba, that they're out.
Phil Labonte
It has to come after, it has to come after the moratorium though, still. Okay? We need people, we need people to assimilate and it takes time.
Tim Pool
Honestly, the only thing that I've liked about the WNBA since it started is Sophie Cunningham going after whoever it was that was, you know, fouling her teammate. I mean, like that, that was a solid moment.
Phil Labonte
That's the attractive blonde lady, right?
Tim Pool
The field goal kicker?
Phil Labonte
Is she a field go kick here?
Tim Pool
She, she, she kicked field goals in high school.
Phil Labonte
Good.
Ian Crossland
Oh, wow. Now she plays basketball. All right, well, since you guys really, really want to talk about the wnba, let's do it. All right.
Tim Pool
Brought it on ourselves.
Ian Crossland
Let's jump to the story from ESPN.com United WNBA Allar stars wear pay us what you owe us shirts. In a surprise twist, all WNBA players have agreed to pay us all back. They report as WNBA commissioner Kathy Engelbert awarded Minnesota links who 20. I don't care.
Shane Cashman
This is hieroglyphics.
Tim Pool
I think that's a team. But it could be somebody's name. I'm not really sure.
Ian Crossland
The fans echoed the message players sent during warm ups where. Where they wore black shirts that read pay us what you owe us. The collective demonstration occurred two days after more than 40 players over the league in the latest rounds of collective bargaining agreement negotiations. I don't understand why the WNBA exists. Can anyone help me out? No, no, hold on, hold on, hold on real quick. Sorry. If you're gonna come out and say Caitlin Clark, I get it. Foxy. Boxing is fun. But if you want to actually talk about basketball, I don't know why the WNBA exists.
Shane Cashman
It's a shut up and dribble.
Phil Labonte
It's. It's the same reason as all female stuff, like things that men do. Feminists come in and they're like, I want to do that. What?
Ian Crossland
Women's tennis is profitable. Very.
Phil Labonte
Okay, so fair enough. Women's tennis is profitable. But that they believe that all the, that all sports are the same to the, to the audience, and that's just not the case. Like, I don't watch male men's basketball. I watch baseball and I watch football. Like, I don't watch men's basketball, so I'm not going to watch women's basketball. The people that watch men's basketball are clearly not watching women's basketball. And I don't know that the people that watch women's tennis are watching.
Ian Crossland
To be I. To kind of fact check, Women's Tennis made $4 million in 2023. $4 million profit. $4 million profit. Yeah. Well, their total revenue was 114, but their expenses was 110.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I wonder how much of this is.
Ian Crossland
Oh, wait, wait, I'm sorry. And more, more than half of it came from a deal with Saudi Arabia to host the finals. Okay, so they're not necessarily profitable.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
They're more profitable than Colbert.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. And they're far more profitable than women's basketball. But, you know, I wonder if it.
Tim Pool
Stems from, you know, the great success that women's soccer had with the, you know, the fantastic team with Mia Hamm and all those Julie Foudy, all those great athletes who just broke on that.
Phil Labonte
Rapinoe chick, just made everybody hate them.
Tim Pool
You know, so Exactly. But I mean, but that was a very successful. A very successful team and garnered a lot of public support, led to the creation of entire women's soccer league. And, you know, so maybe that's when this whole thing started.
Phil Labonte
Does the entire women's soccer league make money?
Tim Pool
I don't even know if it exists anymore in that form. I don't think it does.
Phil Labonte
I don't think so either.
Tim Pool
San Diego spirit was the team I remember started.
Phil Labonte
Thing is, most. Most women aren't particularly interested in sports. I know that there's. There's probably millions of women across the country that do sports, but the majority of women don't like sports.
Ian Crossland
Guys. And you're right. I just got to add this. There's only one reason guys watch women's volleyball.
Shane Cashman
They score so much.
Tim Pool
Beach volleyball or court volleyball, which are we talking about here?
Phil Labonte
Definitely beach volleyball.
Tim Pool
I like the seats in the back of the arena.
Ian Crossland
Indeed. And that didn't they pass some rule? They made all the women wear pants and then all the guys got mad. Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Why would.
Ian Crossland
And, and look, feminists can cry all day and say Tim Pool's Jimisogenous for pointing out that men want to look at girls butts and like. Well, they do. And that you. You can complain, but that won't change reality.
Phil Labonte
And I don't care if anyone calls me a misogynist.
Ian Crossland
So there's another. There's a reason why men like watching women's tennis.
Phil Labonte
The grunts.
Ian Crossland
I. I do. Men do that?
Phil Labonte
No. The way you said women's tennis.
Ian Crossland
Right. I know.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Do the men go.
Phil Labonte
I don't. They really.
Ian Crossland
They do.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Geez. I want. I don't want to watch it the.
Phil Labonte
Whole time, but I definitely want to see.
Ian Crossland
And then there's only one reason people are increasingly watching the wnba.
Shane Cashman
They hate it.
Ian Crossland
Caitlin Clark, foxy boxing.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
I'm not even kidding, man. I. One of the stories that popped up was that she got attacked again. And I made a video about it. Got like 300,000 views in the two hours. And I'm like, guys, there's. There's tons of compilation videos popping up on YouTube of Caitlin Clark getting beaten comp. Like, Caitlin Clark beaten compilation. And it's just like 10 minutes of her getting beaten, and it's just gotten millions of views. And I was like, damn, maybe they.
Shane Cashman
Should do a hybrid with the ufc. So it's basketball plus fighting.
Ian Crossland
But bro, bro, it's just foxy box.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. I don't know. I don't want any of that. I. I would like to see WNBA play the Harlem Globetrotters, just. Just to see how great that would be.
Ian Crossland
No, the Washington General so they can finally win.
Phil Labonte
Actually, I. I think the Generals would actually beat them, but yeah, hilarious.
Tim Pool
So I looked into the numbers for this, actually. Men only make 0.03 of NBA players only make 0.03 of the league's total revenue per player, while the NBA players.
Ian Crossland
Earn about 0.07 of their league's revenue. So I am totally for, like, equalizing.
Tim Pool
That pay gap and bringing men up.
Ian Crossland
To make sure that we have the same 0.07 of the league. I don't know where to get that money, but I'm just. I'm so sick of NBA participation trophy stupid garbage. Okay? Why are we communistically subsidizing the wnba? Just pay us what you owe us. Okay, you owe me then. Because you got a deficit, right? I'm kidding. You don't owe me anything. I don't watch whatever it is you do, and I don't care. Right. I like watching when I do watch basketball, and I'm not someone who regularly turns on basketball, it is fun to watch when there's, like, when, you know, I don't really care so much for the most part. But when you're getting close to the end and it's a close game, and then Steph Curry will just, like, launch it from half court and nail it, you're like, whoa. Football. Similarly, wnba. Meaningless. Yeah, meaningless. I just don't care. What about women's golf? People watch that. That's easier to watch, right? Because just tap it in.
Shane Cashman
I don't watch any of that stuff.
Phil Labonte
Tap it in. I. I don't watch any women's sports. Even, you know, women's volleyball, to be honest with you. Like, it's nice to look at if it's on, but I'm not gonna go and be like, oh, I gotta catch the women's volleyball.
Tim Pool
I think the only sports that I'm really watching still are Olympics. I'll watch international competitions and some college sports, but professional sports, I really don't watch as much as I used to.
Phil Labonte
I like baseball and I like football still.
Tim Pool
You know, baseball's not baseball anymore, Phil. It's not.
Ian Crossland
What do you mean?
Tim Pool
Zombie runner on second base and extra innings. That's a joke. Pitch clock. It's a joke. DH in National League, it's a joke. Nobody even knows what baseball is anymore. It's like, used to be able to go to a baseball game and people had a program and they would actually Keep score in the stands. And people knew how to keep score at a baseball game. And you could pull that up years later and remember everything that happened in the game because you scored it. And now it's like, oh, third inning, hat shuffle. Oh, fourth inning, mascot race. Oh, fifth inning, T shirt gun. And it's not even baseball anymore. It's just like, it's. It's not banana ball yet, but it's horrible.
Ian Crossland
Learns ball. You guys know, Learns ball is.
Phil Labonte
Isn't that from Futurama in Futurama Fries.
Ian Crossland
A thousand years in the future. And he's like, I love baseball. And they're like, this is blurns ball. And the, like the multiball gets triggered and the batter's swinging wildly, and 12 balls fly in the air, and then one goes right into a hole, and it's like, ball locked. Multi ball triggered. And the writer said they wanted it to be as incomprehensible as possible. And that sounds like what you're describing. But I, I get these. I get recommended Instagram videos that are literally just hating on modern baseball. And it's, it's. It's just posts complaining about calls from the umpire and, you know, various plays complaining about the pitch clock or whatever. And the only thing I know about baseball right now is everybody hates it.
Phil Labonte
I mean, people complain about a lot of stuff, but I still think I still like watching baseball. I think that going to live baseball games is super fun.
Ian Crossland
I think we got to make the Hunger Games just like Race to the End. Okay? We're sitting here gradually inching toward the bottom, but it's the waiting I can't stand. Okay, let's just make the Hunger Games optional. Of course people opt in. Do you think people would do that? I bet they would.
Shane Cashman
They're doing it right now in every American city.
Ian Crossland
They totally would. If you were like $10 million prize to the winner and everyone goes in and it's fight to the death, and whoever survives you get 10 million, you'd have a line out the door for it.
Tim Pool
It's just an extrapolation of Mr. Beast premise, isn't it?
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Is Mr. Beast killed? How many people has he killed?
Ian Crossland
I don't think.
Shane Cashman
I mean, up there with Clinton's well, publicly disclosed zero.
Ian Crossland
But no, no, we don't know.
Phil Labonte
I don't think, because I'm calling that. I don't think that they would go. I don't think people would sign up.
Tim Pool
There's at least. There's at least one guy that doesn't exist anymore. I think that's right. Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Got rid of that guy.
Ian Crossland
How many people has Mr. Beast killed?
Phil Labonte
If you had people, if it was just, you know, get eliminated, you get beat to beat to a pulp. Yes.
Ian Crossland
But Mr. Beast has not killed anyone.
Phil Labonte
Good job.
Shane Cashman
Another, another hallucination from AI.
Ian Crossland
You know what scares me is that we, I, I, I typically use ChatGPT for like image generation or whatever. If you want to learn how to AI image generate a person, you don't ask the A to make the person. It's the mistake everybody makes. You take an image of the person and then ask the ad to make the person do a thing and it'll give you the proper image. But I've been playing Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. And so I said, I'll just ask ChatGPT, you know, like, how do I find this thing? And it gives me this big long, like video game tip. Here's how you do it. Walkthrough. And so I play for about 20 minutes doing what it describes, only to find out it was completely made up and what I was doing made no sense. And then I was like, okay, that was weird. And so then I ask it again. Hey, that was incorrect. And it gives me another totally hallucinated fake thing. And the first time I was like, okay. The second time it told me to meet someone who I knew didn't exist in the game. And I was like, now this is getting weird. Here's the creepy thing is I'm actively playing that game, so I'm fact checking in real time that this doesn't work. How often does do we or anybody else assume that what it's saying is true? That being said, Mr. Beast may have killed somebody.
Shane Cashman
Exactly. That's the moral. That's the moral of this story.
Ian Crossland
I'm kidding, Jimmy. I'm kidding.
Tim Pool
But if you look at how people are proving their argument, like on the social media platform that I'm on the most, which is X, you know, they're just going to pull up Grok as like see Gro says this. It must be so, so you're absolutely right. It's just, it's just fabricating stuff. I believe it's good for certain things where you're, you know, if you want to find out the population of Wyoming, it can probably tell you that, oh.
Ian Crossland
Wait, somebody died during one of the product.
Phil Labonte
That's why I asked the question. Yeah, I could have swore someone passed away.
Ian Crossland
Wait, wait, is. But I don't know if this is true or not. I remember hearing about this. Yeah. Wow. Doing the Mr. Beast challenge. He died?
Phil Labonte
Yep.
Ian Crossland
Whoa. So wait, wait, hold on. He was competing in the lose 100 pounds to win $250,000. The cause of death was not publicly disclosed, though some online source have sparked speculation. Mr. Beast's video description included a tribute to. Oh, Mr. Beast killed a guy.
Phil Labonte
Come on, Jimmy.
Ian Crossland
Oh, wow.
Shane Cashman
The guy going trans.
Ian Crossland
They say it was. It was accidental and unrelated to any wrongdoing by him. Listen, listen, I never said he did anything wrong. I'm saying that Mr. Beast was running a program in which someone died and that was his responsibility.
Shane Cashman
Mr. Beast creates an environment of death and destruction.
Tim Pool
He's literally Hitler.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Phil Labonte
Oh, man.
Shane Cashman
He's the Joe Biden of reality TV or whatever he does. I don't know. I've never seen an episode of Mr.
Phil Labonte
Beast is Killing and transing. All the people stay away from Mr. Beast. He's.
Ian Crossland
Apparently the guy had some kind of toxicity in his system or something. Unexpectedly died during the challenge. That's sad. That's actually really sad. What does it say? Mitra janine toxicity. An opioid that caused respiratory depression and asphyxiation. Is that what happened?
Shane Cashman
Sounds terrible.
Phil Labonte
That sounds pretty awful.
Ian Crossland
I mean, found in the kratom plant.
Shane Cashman
And Mr. Beast filmed all of this.
Tim Pool
Oh, it's like one of those crazy.
Ian Crossland
Could you imagine if Mr. Beast, like, if that happened while he was filming and he was like, I guess that's the story. And the thumbnail was like, yes, yes. A guy. A guy. I killed a guy.
Shane Cashman
A billion views.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, it would definitely get.
Ian Crossland
A billion.
Shane Cashman
Would kill.
Phil Labonte
It would get a lot of views.
Ian Crossland
And there's actually a ridiculous amount of stories today. We've got so many pulled up that.
Phil Labonte
They'Re just like small stories.
Ian Crossland
Not. Not really.
Tim Pool
I still like the Hunter Biden clip where he's talking about the immigrants. That's the one that kills.
Phil Labonte
I sent a bunch of.
Tim Pool
That is the one. That whole interview, which is long.
Ian Crossland
Here we go.
Tim Pool
Amazing.
Ian Crossland
We got this clip from the Channel 5 interview with Hunter Biden as he goes on a Democrat inspired, Democrat racist rant.
Phil Labonte
One of my goes be like all these Democrats say you have to talk.
Tim Pool
About and realize that people are really.
Phil Labonte
Upset about illegal immigration.
Ian Crossland
Fuck you.
Phil Labonte
How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you got food on your fucking table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your garden? Who do you think is here by the sheer just grit and will that.
Ian Crossland
They figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could.
Tim Pool
Give Themselves and their family a better chance.
Phil Labonte
And he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are the fucking criminals.
Ian Crossland
It's absolutely amazing that he's just like, in all seriousness, literally, what the Democrats said in the 1850s is, who's going to pick your crops? Who's going to clean your house? You have no idea.
Shane Cashman
I was just gonna say, this is filmed on a plantation. The old guy on his plantation lost all his slaves.
Ian Crossland
I do. I do love the part where he also said that his dad was on Ambien while debating Trump.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
He was just whacked out of his.
Phil Labonte
Mind, like, as if that's some kind of excuse. Right?
Shane Cashman
We know. It was method.
Ian Crossland
Hunter Biden says father was on Ambien before disastrous debate. Do you guys know Ambien makes you. They call it date. It's called. What is it called? Wake. It causes waking dreams. That's what they call it.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
Oh, yes.
Tim Pool
If you're eating, too. A lot of. A lot of people were eating, like, getting up in the middle night. A lot of people were, like, getting up in the middle of night and like, going to refrigerator, not remembering it, and then find out the next morning that they had eaten all this stuff. Like, the food's gone, but they were actually eating it in their sleep.
Ian Crossland
That's creepy. There were people that would intentionally get Ambien and they would take it in the middle of the day and stay awake, and it causes you to start hallucinating. It's called a waking dream. You're. You're not hallucinating, but you're having a dream while awake because your brain's fried. And then it, you know, makes you go insane and ruins your life forever.
Shane Cashman
Or you become president for good years in the White House.
Phil Labonte
Four good years.
Ian Crossland
Good years.
Phil Labonte
Good Lord.
Ian Crossland
But.
Tim Pool
But in the interview in that clip from Hunter Biden, and maybe some people will miss this, is that he didn't say his father was taking Ambien. He said they're. They're giving him Ambien. Yeah, yeah, they're dosing him, which is, you know, and actually one of the. One of the things that, you know, we all hear a lot of conspiracy theories, but one of the things that. That I hear that is a non zero chance that it's successful is that they intentionally didn't give Joe the right drugs for the debate. He didn't seem as on as he was. Like every. Every state of the union, everybody says Joe's gonna screw this up. He comes out, he's not fantastic, but he doesn't he doesn't fail miserably. Like, whatever they were dosing him for. State of the Union. He was. Okay, so the debate. No.
Ian Crossland
So I. I recently got my dental implant, and the way it works is you. I had a root Canal for 25 years. They gotta go. There's nothing you can do about it. And so they extract painful. Then you got to wait a few months, then it heals up. Then they put the implant in. Then you got to wait a few months, then they put the. The crown in. Right. And so I get three little bottles. I get ibuprofen for the pain, which I have. Amusing, because I don't need. And I get amoxicillin for potential infection. But the ibuprofen, the amoxicillin are identical. And so when they give them to me, I was. I took two out of each bottle and put them on the counter. And then I was, like, making a. A beam dream, I think I was taking. Right. Those. Those beam dreams. They're so good. And they sponsor the show, by the way. But anyway. And I looked down, I'm like, which one's which? And then I. Here's how you figured out. There's a letters. And there's letters and numbers on the face. And you look at the bottle, and it says, it is a small, oval white pill with this written on. I was like, ah. Okay, now, what happened if Joe Biden was getting ready for that debate and the intern pulled out the meth, the Adderall, and the Ambien and was like, oh, crap, which one is it? And then gave him the ambulance.
Phil Labonte
Oops.
Shane Cashman
I think. I think they were weaning him off all his drugs for the debate, too. I. I do believe that was the thing, because he walked out there, you know, I was so surprised he didn't drop dead at every State of the Union. And he walked out that debate and just sounded awful.
Tim Pool
But, Shane, you. You know what I'm saying about state Union? Everybody's, like, speculating he's gonna be horrible. And he does okay. He did okay.
Shane Cashman
You could see him sort of decline, like, an hour in, but he walked.
Tim Pool
He was fiery. He was fiery. Remember, that was that word.
Shane Cashman
Imagine.
Ian Crossland
Fiery Biden.
Phil Labonte
Fiery.
Tim Pool
Fiery Biden.
Shane Cashman
They put the red behind him for those other speeches, you know?
Phil Labonte
Yeah, that one, he was. He was definitely very animated.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
And very convinced that it was a good idea to have those. That imagery. I can't. I couldn't believe that. That. That whoever set that up thought that it was a good idea. It's like, man, that is absolutely. What if it was trouble?
Ian Crossland
Like behind backstage Trump, he's just standing there and he pulls out an ambient and he crushes it up with the back of a Trump pen. And then he just puts it in his hand and then sprinkles it in the. There we go. We're gonna have a good night.
Tim Pool
Even the time shift worked against Biden. I mean, that was late at night for him. So unless he was at Camp David and they were just like jet lagging him a little bit more each day.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Making it later and later and later.
Ian Crossland
What is up with Democrats and just openly being like, we want slaves.
Shane Cashman
It's their M.O.
Phil Labonte
The Crazy Thing is that they actually openly say it and think that no one is going to. And I'm sure they've heard this criticism and yet it doesn't register that, hey, you're literally saying we need to keep our cheap labor.
Ian Crossland
I'm going to say this right now. If at our culture war events protesters show up, we have a handful of guys that we are ready to plant in their protest to discredit them. And I think it's hilarious if they know because then they're going to spend all the time trying to figure out who's actually the infiltrator. But the reason I bring this up is I was thinking just like when Hunter Biden publicly comes out and he was like, we need second class citizens to do menial labor. That I refuse to do. I'm like, you sound just like the Democrats have always sounded like anything.
Phil Labonte
It's ridiculous.
Ian Crossland
And I was just imagining like, what if, what if someone just showed up to a protest for Democrats defending illegal immigration and illegal immigration, just like a Klan member, and they're like, no, no, I'm on your side. And they're like, no, you're not. Like, I completely agree with everything you believe. Like, we do not disagree in any way. And then I was thinking about our event where I think we'll do that if protesters show up, we're just going to have like traditional Democrats. I'll call them.
Phil Labonte
It's only make slaves.
Tim Pool
Great.
Phil Labonte
Again, I told my girlfriend she can't go because of the possibility of protesters.
Ian Crossland
We have, we have a special entrance. We have, we have insecure and everything.
Phil Labonte
She's pregnant.
Ian Crossland
Right, Right.
Phil Labonte
You know, so I don't think there's.
Ian Crossland
Gonna be protesters though. But I outright am publicly declaring, if protesters do show up, we will have a handful of infiltrators in your protest. Good luck figuring out who is who. The best part is Guess what? If we don't actually do it, how will they know? You got to look over your shoulder every. Every second. Any one of those protesters could be trying to defame you. As soon as you look towards the venue, someone's gonna pull out a sign, and it's gonna say something really, really awful, and they're gonna get a picture of you with that sign. You better keep looking over your shoulder.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I mean, I don't think that there's a better idea than to inform them that the black block is not just them. The black block is gonna be, you know, infiltrators, and they're going to make you look silly.
Ian Crossland
So, I mean, that really is, like, the best way you deal with these protests. It's really simple. You join the protest, but say something that's kind of off color to where they're like, okay, but you can't do that. And it's like, too bad. Too bad. Anyway, back to the main point, because I'm. I'm derailing here. Honest question. I don't understand how Democrats, they just. They keep saying it like, no amount of flubbing this and no amount of getting called out for it ever changes. This is what they genuinely believe. They want slaves. They want people who can't vote who get paid dirt to do menial labor.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. I mean, they've been. They're clear about it. And it's. It's not like this is some kind of secret. This is the way that they behave and the way they. The way that they defend illegal immigrants is to say, oh, you know, they have to do the grunt work because Americans won't do it, which is BS Americans will do those jobs. Absolutely. Like, and if the. The way you get Americans to do those jobs is to get rid of illegal immigrants and then make the people that are actually owners of those jobs make them pay people more. That's a good thing for America.
Tim Pool
Absolutely.
Phil Labonte
You know, like, the idea that we have to keep these things, these. These jobs low because I don't want to pay a buck more for my strawberries or what have. Like, that's really not good. Like, you want to have high wages for people. Well, then it requires people paying more at the store to cover those wages.
Tim Pool
But. But agriculture is. Is. You know, keep in mind there are agricultural visas, so that. I don't think that that should really apply to, like, food, because there is an agricultural visa worker program for people to come and do that. But. Well, But. But it does exist. All right, so. But. But for the other things, like who's going to do your gardening? You know, that's ridiculous. And anecdotally, I've been hearing a lot of reports that there's no traffic in Los Angeles like there used to be.
Shane Cashman
I have been hearing that from real people.
Tim Pool
People are saying that. I don't think it's just like to the point where now I'm actually believing it, that people are saying, you know, you look at, used to look at the traffic and it'd be red, red, red on this and red on that. And still, if you're from California, you know what a SIG alert is. They don't have the SIG alerts anymore.
Shane Cashman
I think it was the great Patriot J I saw on Twitter say he'd heard reports. He's out there and he's been driving. He said it is way better. And I've been hearing from a lot of other people, I think it is. But then I see people like Charlie Kirk saying that they're going to replace the farm workers with robots. And I don't like that either.
Tim Pool
I like that happen.
Phil Labonte
That'll happen.
Shane Cashman
But that's not good.
Phil Labonte
Yes, it is.
Shane Cashman
No. Why is that good? Because it's going to take jobs. Listen, take jobs.
Phil Labonte
It was good when they used, when they went from having people with, with a plow and an oxen to actual tractors. And it will be good when you can have machines do those jobs as well.
Shane Cashman
But you're going to.
Phil Labonte
Other machines take away a lot of jobs. The tractor took away jobs.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Tim Pool
All those slaves.
Phil Labonte
Look, I'm not a Luddite. I'm not a Luddite and I'm not a Luddite. And to be honest with you, society has managed to deal with every innovation that we've come up with. There were people that like, oh, you can't have the printing press because it'll take away all the people that are writing poor scribes. That is the, the same, the same argument that is made every time there's a new technology. And it will be fine.
Shane Cashman
I get it. But the Luddites had a point about being they weren't against technology. They were against technology being mass produced and then mass automating them out of a job, which does happen in multiple industries, you know, And I, I do care about that.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
I also don't want robots doing the plumbing or doing the Apple pick.
Ian Crossland
I just want to add to this. None of it matters. But a principal component of the decay is happy Gilmore 2 is coming out on Friday. And that, if anything, is a sign of the End of times.
Phil Labonte
What is it?
Shane Cashman
That's your.
Phil Labonte
I have to look at the.
Ian Crossland
I have long made the prediction that. So this, this is absolutely related to what you're talking about with AI Takeover. There's no new people. It's true. Gen Alpha is only 40 million and boomers were 80. So I mean this is within a one leap generation and the population is half.
Tim Pool
Half.
Ian Crossland
So I made this prediction, as the saying goes. I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. And now what it is is weird and scary and it'll happen to you too, which will not happen to us. That's what happened to boomers. It not so much Gen Xers and definitely not millennials. And Gen Z will have no culture of their own and neither will Gen Alpha. They're re. They're doing a new Happy Gilmore because New IP fails because there is no new generation. So if you. So it's as simple as this. Is this how I've explained why the. The current age of the top top selling ticket artists is 48, I believe, whereas in the 2000s it was 30. If you are going to sell tickets to an event, you're a promoter, you got a stadium, you go to your booking guy and says, okay, which artists are we booking? And they're gonna go, we want to get Coldplay. And you go, Coldplay. Aren't they a little old? It's like they're gonna sell it out. I said, there anybody younger who can do a big audience? Nope. Why not? Because there aren't enough of them. So there's. There's 72 million Gen Z and 40 million Gen Alpha. So if you go. So Gen Z is your anchor point. If you go too low, your market shrinks. If you go high, your market increases. So you want a younger millennial musician or show. So what are they doing? They're remaking Scrubs. They're remaking Malcolm in the Middle. They're. They're doing a sequel to Happy Gilmore. They are mass producing the late 90s and the early 2000s because there is no younger generation. The point about AI and the reason why I brought this up is because you mentioned the Neo. The Neo Luddite movement and the automation of jobs and they are going to accelerate this because there are no new people to take jobs.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
So our content is all going to be regurgitated 90s as robots take everything over.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. I will also say one of my favorite recent stories is the Builder AI story. You guys talk about this yet? The. It was like a Microsoft backed AI business. I think it was valued.
Ian Crossland
Oh, and it was all Indians.
Shane Cashman
Like a few hundred Indians.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it was like, I think we'll be okay.
Shane Cashman
Honestly.
Tim Pool
It was just actual, like, live humans doing stuff.
Shane Cashman
That was a major white pill. I was like, that's great.
Ian Crossland
We gotta go to your chats, my friend. So smash the, like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got some billboards up all over the place. People have been sending pictures and posting online. If you spot a Tim Cast billboard, post it on. On X and tag Ian. Just because he'll wake up one day and be like, why am I getting all these tags? And I'll look at just pictures of the Tim Guest billboard.
Phil Labonte
He'll Some way. He will look at it as like, man, that's so cool. And then he'll like, yeah, talk about something.
Ian Crossland
But we got some billboards up for the culture war show in D.C. as well. Some digital billboards. We are. We are going to the mainstream, man. So July 26th, Gavin McInnes and Baton Evan and me. We do have some liberals booked. We're just trying to figure out who's going to make the show. Our big, big name liberal that we're hoping to get didn't want to do it. Should I say who that was supposed to be?
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Shane Cashman
Yeah. Say it again.
Ian Crossland
Don Lemon.
Shane Cashman
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
That time, I think they were unable to do that. That date. It was. It's a really short notice. Like, a month out is short notice. So no disrespect, they. They are working with us, and we may actually be able to book Don. I think that would be an absolutely amazing show. Don, I would love to have you. It would be an honor, privilege to have you debate these issues, and we want to have you there. But unfortunately, he was unable to make it. So we have a couple other liberals who are going to show up, and it'll be fun. So DC Comedy Loft, check it out. But let's grab your chats and rebel rants. We have been talking with a handful of other people, some very prominent liberals, and they're all getting back to us now. Times are changing, man.
Tim Pool
Really?
Ian Crossland
We have a request with like, 10, and they all came back with their agents and normal. And it was very professional and very normal. And I was like, wow. And they're all like, here are the dates we have available. We'd love to do the show. And I was like, what?
Shane Cashman
Wow, he's not busy.
Ian Crossland
Oh, sick burn, sick burn. All right. Kremet says after Trump won the Biden DOJ and FBI doctored Epstein files to implicate Trump Trump creates July 6 Epstein smokescreen Trump DOJ FBI then caught Biden holdover giving real letter to Wall Street Journal Game over. I don't think so, but sure. I don't believe the Wall Street Journal story for a second. That's so silly. Trump. So all they said was the name Donald. Donald's is a name and they never, they probably know evidence. The Wall Street Journal claimed Donald Trump without evidence wrote a letter to Jeffrey Epstein. Shane H. Wilder says Sin Frontera is excellent. It's a must watch. It was eye opening. Parts shocked me, other parts pissed me off. And the section on child trafficking ripped my heart out.

And 6, 7 Kevin is an honor to work with you and we are going to produce more with him because this was masterfully done and we're going to, we're going to start cranking these things out and getting more documentaries as we promised. Remember earlier in the year we'll be working on these documentaries now. I was a little ambitious. I said I wanted four to eight per year. Looks like we have two and we really are trying.
Shane Cashman
But hey, I had, I had Kevin on Inverter World last week. I think it was one of the best shows we've done on that because.
Ian Crossland
He was talking about like the weird.
Shane Cashman
Witches and stuff, death cult, Santeria, you know it Was really incredible. Everyone should go find that episode. We Talked about Area 51 and the Mole people beneath Las Vegas. Really good, dude.
Ian Crossland
Now here's the. Here's the next best thing. The next documentary we got put we're putting out is on the. The AI takeover and the basic. Basically like the Terminator scenario, but it's a bit more stoic than that. But it's going to be about all of this Luddite stuff and. And technological evolution. Yeah, it's gonna be nuts.
Shane Cashman
Tim, I'm heading out before you get to the next.
Ian Crossland
All right, man.
Shane Cashman
I gotta do my show. Inverted World live tonight at 10. We'll see you guys there. Phone lines are open till midnight. Thanks for having me, guys. Always.
Ian Crossland
One can call in two tales from the inverted one.
Shane Cashman
Yep.
Ian Crossland
And tell their crazy stories.
Shane Cashman
We got great stories. The callers have been amazing. We love it. So yeah, the link to calling will be pinned on the chat and rumble on YouTube. We'll see you guys there.
Ian Crossland
See you guys. See you later. And also just quick shout out. The show's been hitting it with a couple hundred thousand hits per episode now.
Phil Labonte
Sick.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, they've been, they've been. They've been nailing it. You know, it is. It's like open callers. Literally anybody watching can. Can try and call in and tell their story. And everybody's hoping to get their chance. They want to tell their story.
Tim Pool
And you remember when talk radio used to be like that.
Phil Labonte
Yep, yep.
Tim Pool
People would actually call in. It wasn't as heavily produced. You may have like Art Bell stuff going on. He would ramble a little bit. But all talk radio was like that caller dependent programming.
Ian Crossland
Yep.
Tim Pool
And the hosts really had to know their stuff because they had to play off what the call was. But they had to know a little bit about everything. And now, you know, it just doesn't happen that way. Now it's really siloed and scripted.
Ian Crossland
Copium Poppy says is Tim still in Israel? Says if it's still Phil cast, Tim is still in Israel. Oh, he's back from Israel.
Phil Labonte
God, people are ridiculous.
Ian Crossland
Oh man. Get off my lawn. Says CBS had asked Craig Ferguson to replace the retiring Letterman. But not only did Ferguson refuse, he left his own Late Late show with Craig Ferguson out of respect for the outgoing Letterman. Wow. Deseret Monk says whether it's treason or sedition or whether he can be convicted, the process is also the punishment. Make Obama go through the modern justice system and spend millions defending his actions. I just. Guys, Michael Mouse is right about everything. You know, he's an anarchist. And the point he made is that the only, the only thing that matters is what you are willing to enforce. And that's what he means by anarchy and how he describes it. So if the right is going to sit back and be like, well, we can't, because that would be wrong, then it is and you lose. Bye.
Phil Labonte
You have, like, the right has to be willing to use power when they have it.
Tim Pool
And we've got it now. Yeah, not by much in the house, but we've got it.
Ian Crossland
Well, now, another guy retired.
Shane Cashman
Right, right.
Phil Labonte
In this context, they need to use the doj. You know, Pam Bondi has to have the, the audacity, have the, the intestinal fortitude to actually, you know, issue warrants.
Tim Pool
But there, there are some. You know, honestly, too, though, it's not just the federal government. There are some state AGs who've been doing a good job. There are others that need to step up.
Phil Labonte
Yep, absolutely.
Tim Pool
Because, you know, the state, the state charges. That's how a lot of these things were filed against President Trump. Now, I'm not saying that we have people as corrupt as Letitia James, but we have legitimate grievances against, for instance, the Bidens and the way they use their shell companies. You know, that money was crossing state lines and in the jurisdictions where it occurred, there's something there.
Phil Labonte
If I just.
Ian Crossland
Go ahead, finish your point.
Phil Labonte
If they can tell a guy that he can't sell wheat or that he can't grow wheat to give to his own animals, that because of the, the state law, because of cross state lines, then you can definitely have the AG of any of the states prosecute.
Ian Crossland

Phil Labonte
There you go.
Ian Crossland
Everybody keeps telling me I should do video game streams. It's like, okay, so I wrap the morning show, then I immediately start streaming video games for two hours. Then I eat, then I skate, then I do a show again. I will never be home.
Phil Labonte
They want more, Tim.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, man. Now I got these pitches coming in. People want me to do weekend shows and they're like, tim Pool, we will give you money. And it's like, right? Yeah. Because we're doing the Saturday shows. So if we start doing Saturday, Saturday afternoon shows and then we've got pitches coming in for a potential Sunday show. I'm like, I will work literally every single day.
Tim Pool
That's going to help you with that. 175 million.
Ian Crossland
Well, we'll finally break even.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
You know, right now, 175 million. We just, we're just, you know, and if people are wondering how is it that Tim cast brings in 175 million Russia. And they're wondering clearly, where does it. Where does it all go? Well, salaries are expensive. Serge's salary is 30 million a year. Phil gets. Gets 35. You know, it's expensive. We had to pay.
Tim Pool
We're getting paid.
Phil Labonte
Guests come in on a private plane.
Tim Pool
Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. Well, Phil calls it a plane, but it's more like an anti gravity device that is experimental and costs, you know.
Phil Labonte
A billion dollars trying to keep it so that way people could kind of understand the concept.
Ian Crossland
I can't believe how many people were like, you make $175 million?
Phil Labonte
I can believe it. Absolutely, man.
Shane Cashman
Dude, what about the private maglev train out front?
Phil Labonte
That. That's not.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, we actually, we, you know, with 100. The reason why we broke even last year is because we had to pay 100 million Elon for our hyper. Hyper tube. Yeah, our vacuum car tube under the facility that brings us straight to London.
Phil Labonte
You didn't think that the boring company only was working out in California, did you?
Ian Crossland
Yeah, we have a tube that goes straight to London. Straight shot. They built the whole thing just for us. It wouldn't cost 100 million. That would cost like 3. What will it cost? 10 trillion or some ridiculous amount like that?
Tim Pool
Yeah, there's no. There's no boring. A tunnel through the Atlantic? No, not through the middle. The mid Atlantic ridge where the ocean is currently spreading due to plate tectonics. It's not exactly a geostable region to tunnel through.
Ian Crossland
All right, we got this from Raymond G. Stanley Jr. He says that was an excellent doc. Shout out to six seven Kevin. It breaks. It breaks the heart. Getting into a firsthand visual of the child trafficking that happened under Biden. Guys. Legit share Sin Frontera. It is an hour and 40 minute long breakdown of the evils of illegal immigration, the cartels, child trafficking. It's insane. And you got these people who don't want to believe it and don't know, show them. That's why we made it. And now some might be saying, why is it premium only because it cost a lot of money to do six, seven. Kevin had to go to the Darien Gap. That is like one of the most dangerous places in the world.
Phil Labonte
It's true.
Ian Crossland
So it was very expensive. It was very dangerous.
Tim Pool
Tim, you know what impressed us?
Ian Crossland
We'd like to make more of those.
Tim Pool
From the limited footage that I saw because I only was just looking at it when I was coming in here, but I was impressed with the fact that it's not just interview face Footage. It's really giving you an idea what the lay of the land is. Yeah, some great drone footage that's really showing the scope of. Of, you know, of the actual state of what's happening down there. It's just not. It's not a documentary. You think documentary. And unfortunately, a lot of them are just like static shots talking back and forth. Interviewer camera. This really had some great visuals in it.
Ian Crossland
Also, Carter did the scoring for the documentary, which is available. The original documentary songs are all here. I'm gonna play this one. What does this do? Is it gonna be too loud? Oh, I like this one.
Tim Pool
Wow.
Ian Crossland
I like that one. It's called Salt and Wire. This is. This is not. AI Carter made this music for the documentary. So we're. We're really excited for this release. You know, we need to do. Though, we need to do a premiere, and we're. We're. We're. We're new at doing these documentaries. We've only. This is our third documentary we've ever put out. We need to do a premiere, and we need to send screeners to the press, which we should have done, and we did not. But it's out now, and so share it with everybody. And check it out. It's. It's really something. It's really something. All right, let's see. We got here. We got some. We got some super chats. Lewis Rodriguez says Colbert's cancellation was the best cancellation since a little late with Lilly Singh. What does that. What does that mean?
Phil Labonte
I don't know. They show.
Tim Pool
Oh, I have no idea.
Phil Labonte
That just sucks.
Ian Crossland
I was like, is he making a very offensive joke or something? I don't get.
Shane Cashman
Terrible joke.
Ian Crossland
All right, Andrew. Andrew Lensi says, remember how Israel just tried to start a nuclear war? Which. Which incident are you referring to? Which. Which time? There's. There's. There's a ongoing conflict for 70 years. I'm wondering which specific incident you're referring to. All right, what do we got here? Scott Dietrich says, what about Biden signing off on Chinese nationals as staff in the government cloud? Plus, I believe they lived in China on top of that. That could be treason. Samurai says treason is a dictionary definition, not just US Law. Indeed. But when people are like, they should be charged with treason or they committed treason, they're referring specifically to US Law. And that's why I say that. Sedition. You can call him a trader. You know, I get what. I get what you're saying. All right. Devin H. Says, did you see Tom Holland? Sorry, Tom Holman? I think he meant Tom Holman selling EMP protection. What is going on?
Phil Labonte
Yeah, we.
Ian Crossland
Four years he has in fact been partnering with this emp. You know, there was a book for.
Tim Pool
Those who are confused. That's not a current ad you were showing. He's not. He's not leveraging his current position. That is something he did in the interim between the administrations.
Ian Crossland
Proto Gen X cell Gen XL says Jordan Peterson versus 20. Kermit the Frogs was a key cultural discussion. It was funny. I just. I don't understand people watch the jubilee stuff, but they do.
Tim Pool
Is that the one with the flags?
Ian Crossland
Yeah. Hey, look, I'm just a hold out of touch man. But my issue with it is that you don't actually ever hear an argument. So, like, for instance, the media San1 this young woman comes up and she's like, do you think that Americans, like immigrants, deserve more than Americans? He goes, immigrants are American. I'm an immigrant. I'm an American. And she's like, I mean, people born here. And he's like, no, but immigrants are American. And I'm like, mehdi, stop. She's not a professional debater. Ask her what she means. She meant, do you think that people who move here are more deserving the people who are born here? It's a simple question, setting the grounds of what your ideas are. But Mehdi argues semantics the whole time. One guy sits down and then he was like, I'm actually an immigrant. I'm from Iran. And he goes, how do you feel about everyone hating you? And he goes, I'm not here to debate them. I'm here to debate. And he goes, do I answer the question? And it's like, okay, here you go. Right? He's not actually debating any of these people. It's all tribal BS nonsense. So the problem is nobody actually gets any debates through. And then everyone else just is raising the flag, being like, get out of here. I don't want. I want to debate.
Phil Labonte
Medi was taught, like, he was calling kids fascists or, you know, calling the people they're fascists and stuff. So it was the same, you know, virtue signaling, grandstanding stuff that he always does.
Ian Crossland
Pete. And all the comments were from progressives ragging on fascists, of course. So that's. That's. That's the play. Right?
Phil Labonte
But it's worth. It's worth noting, like, the young people there, they're not worried about being called fascists. Some people actually consider themselves fascists. And that is a direct result of the left for the past 10 years.
Ian Crossland
All right, Dylan Brown Says Olympics sucks now, too. They want to get rid of boxing. Working in sports broadcasting. Feel these stations are just looking for content. I am working Rockies baseball right now. I'm telling you this right now. You were just talking about this with baseball, how it's like the fifth inning T shirt thing, and then, like, the mascot races or whatever, they're turning into circuses. No one's attention can be kept anymore. It's actually kind of terrifying. And again, it plays into what I was talking about the fourth of July when I went to my hometown and nobody was outside. They're all inside on their computers. I was at a boutique store with my wife. She was looking for some summer clothes, and I saw, like, three teenage guys sitting down, and they were just swiping on their phones just like this. Up, up, up. And I was like, oh, my God, they're Zombies plugged in 24 7. They can't go to a ball game. And the reason why they got to do mascot races, because they're like, stop looking at your phone and look over here. And they're like, I can't.
Tim Pool
But it's also, in baseball, people have just lost an appreciation for the subtle things about, like, where is this player shading? I mean, not. I'm not talking about the old. I'm not talking about like, the whole infield shifting. But there's so many nuances to the game of baseball if you know where to look for them and people have lost that knowledge. And if you go back and you look at the pictures of the crowds watching baseball, I think. I think some of the best baseball fans I've, you know, ever seen were in St. Louis. That town loves baseball. And they knew what was going on, and they were not there to. To just be distracted. They were there because they loved the game. And now it's kind of just like. I don't even know what it is. It's like, you know, do it for the gram. We went to the game and we sat in the. The free food seats like, the 50 all you can eat seats or whatever. It's. It's not even. It's not the baseball I grew up with. It's. It's barely recognizable to me.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. All right, let's go. We got Sa. Federali says, talking about EMP and solar flares. I bought a bunch of bacon Fang radios a couple years back. Several weeks later, I woke up to news of a flare. The screens were all scrambled, gibberish characters.
Phil Labonte
They're Bao Fang radios is what he meant.
Ian Crossland
Oh, okay. It Says Bacon Fang.
Phil Labonte
That's probably you. The YouTube.
Ian Crossland
Oh. And then he says, my last chat was for Bao Fang, but I'm going to call them Bacon Fang from now on. You know what I can't stand about autocorrect? My wife texted me that she was gonna be at Pirates. She's like, I'll be at pirates till 2.
Phil Labonte
Pilates, huh? Yeah.
Ian Crossland
And one thing it does is autocorrected, redacted to reacted. Yeah, it does this all the time in really weird ways. It turned defames into defamed. And I'm like, why is it? And then it never corrects when I hit the Y instead of the T on what or that. So it says way or they. It won't correct those, but it corrects literally everything into random words.
Phil Labonte
The. The autocorrect. When you're actually putting in a Super chat, the YouTube one is atrocious. It's. It's very, very bad. You have to be very careful.
Ian Crossland
That's why people are posting juice boxes.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
All right, everybody, smash that, like, button. Share the show with everyone. You know, if you really do like the show and think it's good. We're not a big network. We don't have the massive marketing budgets that the. That Colbert has. Ha. And we don't have a hundred million dollars. We certainly don't do 175. We exist only because we are lucky enough that people like you who watch spread the show via word of mouth.
