to 42 and they don't Care if you've been convicted of marijuana or light drug possession. So the 42 year old thing is obvious. They want older people to be able to join the military. I wonder why they're also giving out steak and lobster to our troops. And the best part is the marijuana thing because I'm like, okay, now they're basically saying we need to open up the pool a little bit wider. Now it's targeting Gen Z. But here's the interesting thing. The real concern over the draft. Immigrants are worried. Not a joke. This is the report. Young people are kind of like, I'm undraftable. Because they're just like hikikomori, if you know what that means. It means they sit at home and play video games all day and they don't go outside. But immigrants are like, oh. And there's a lot of people saying, you know, it would be funny if Biden brought in 20 million illegal immigrants from Honduras, not for the economy, but to just unload them all in Iran. And then as John Bolton would say, this time next year we'll be eating Plantanos and Balietta in Tehran. Which he never said, but would be absolutely hilarious if Iran just became like New Honduras. But the big news, of course, is, my friends, if you've been following this show, you are not surprised to learn that we are deploying the 82nd Airborne Division, 3,000 more troops to the Middle East. The speculation being this will be for the occupation of Kharg island, the key oil distribution hub for Iran. And we had been talking about this, we had heard rumors in the area about, you know, people who know other people who see them packing up and getting ready to go, rumors of deployment. And it appears that it's actually gonna happen, as many are saying this is increasing the probability that we will see boots on the ground in Iran. That being said, Donald Trump has said he's in peace negotiations with Iran and they gave him a truly, truly wonderful gift related to oil and natural gas. But he's, he's not going to tell you what it is. And that's, that's good. But I gotta be honest, all the while we're being told that things are winding down, but all of the military action we see shows a dramatic escalation. Now there's another big conspiracy theory. I had Talked about this. 2019, an oil refinery exploded at 4am in PA. Several hours later, Donald Trump announced that he was canceling strikes on Iran. At the time, I speculated, could this have been a cyber attack? And Donald Trump pulled back on the attack to avoid an escalation of war between Iran and the United States. I don't know. Interestingly, yesterday, only a few hours after Donald Trump announced postponing the attack in Iran, an oil refinery exploded. Now, that's just some wacky speculation, right? Except a Saudi X account posted only a few hours before the explosion that just across the street there would be an oil refinery explosion, and then deleted it. But it's too late. The Internet is forever. It was captured and reposted suggesting there was foreknowledge of this explosion at the plant, which makes one wonder, was this a cyber attack? We're gonna talk about that and a whole lot more. Joe Kenton says he's willing to testify in the trial of Charlie Kirk, which is being called Betrayal. We got a lot to talk about before we do, my friends. We got a great sponsor for you. Yo, it is pockethose.com. this is one of the best sponsors ever.

Joining us tonight to talk about this, we've got Carolyn Wren.
Tim Pool (8:48)
Yeah. Didn't it? I think it's graphene route. I think Kevin is editing it. Okay. You see, here's what we're doing. Get into the news, my friends, and talk about what's going on. We got this from Politico. Pentagon prepares to send another 3,000 troops to Middle East. The decision to move the Army's 82nd Airborne Division to the region heightens the possibility U.S. troops will enter Iran. No decisions have been made for troops into the country, according to defense officials who confirmed the planned deployment. But the buildup of troops is a drastic escalation. The 82nd has a quick reaction force that can deploy around the world within 18 hours, but it's not clear if that division will head to the region. The troops increase comes a month into US Military airstrikes against Iranian military forces and infrastructure and amid spiraling gas prices as Iranian officials block access to the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world's oil passes. U.S. central Command, which oversees the effort, said Tuesday that U.S. aircraft and missile attacks have destroyed more than 9,000 military targets inside Iran since the attack started Feb. 28. Military officials have said the strikes targeted Iran's missile launchers. Navy and defense industrial base strikes have also killed dozens of the regime's leadership. The US already has 50,000 troops in the region. The increase suggests potential for more involvement, such as taking control of the strait by force. So it is being speculated heavily that we are going to occupy Cargill Island, a small island in the Gulf where Iran does most of its oil distribution. Trump keeps saying things are getting better. We destroyed them, they're all but defeated. This is the end. We're having peace talks. But everything we're seeing from the military is suggesting an escalation. So I actually want to throw it to a lot first because you're, I mean, you've been like dancing on the table, tap dancing, excited with joy about what's going on. What do you think is happening? Do you think Trump is, is, is nearing peace? Or do you think we are going to go in and just full scale war?
Carolyn Wren (13:05)
Yeah, I'm conflicted on, especially since I spent so much time working for, I feel like that wing of the party and then I left it and like a kind of public breakup. I did a lot of interviews about it. And now I feel like I'm right back in it. And I am very nervous about this. Well, why? You know, I didn't want any more, you know, foreign intervention. I still don't fully understand what the purpose is of why we are there. Also, Iran is an extraordinarily complicated country. It's 90 million people. You have 90 different religious factions. And also, they don't care about human life. So when you say that, like, if we take Carg island, and yes, it'll hurt their economy, but, like, the Iranian regime doesn't give a shit about their economy. Like, they don't, they can let their people starve, and all they have to do to win the war is just outlast us. And so we've seen this before when Donald Rumsfeld went on TV and told us that we were gonna be going to Iraq for two days, and then it was two weeks, and then it was two months. And Rumsfeld went out there and it's the exact same thing. Now they're telling us two days, then two weeks, then two months, then it's two years, and then it's 20 years. Having said all that, I'm praying and hoping for the best. And I do think President Trump is a wonderful commander in chief and a great leader. And I do think it's preposterous that Netanyahu can just walk in and tell President Trump to go do something, and he would do it. Trump is famous for bringing in a lot of different opinions, letting people duke it out, and then making a decision. So I, you know, if there's, if there is an off ramp at this point, I would love to see it, but I don't see how there is an off ramp. I think that there, now is a good time to buy Raytheon or Palantir stock.
Elad Yoran (14:34)
Yeah, I think you hit it on the head. I mean, that is kind of. I think it's almost maybe a miscalculation. I don't know if it's a miscalculation. I think it's consistent with the Don Row doctrine, which is, again, when you're negotiating with these countries, you assume they're all self interested, they're all driven by economic, you know, economic gain, these sorts of things. And that's worked very well thus far through both Trump administrations. That's kind of the miscalculation, I think, with Iran. To your point, they're driven by things that are sort of detached from, like, tangible assets. Right. We're talking like, oil, energy, economics, by and large. Like, they're driven by fanaticism. And I think that is the point that these really, like these Iranian hawks are making. That's correct. Is they are driven by fanaticism. That's an argument against getting into a prolonged war with them. Because again, like you said, Iran for victory for them is just surviving.
Lachlan Markay (16:30)
But in a certain aspect, the 12 day war set us up for this war because Israel was able to take out most of Iran's air defenses. So it set the situation up such that we could advantageously have this opportunistic war right now. And I mean, I said this at the top of the show, all things considered. I think this is a good use of American power. And fortunately, the casualties have been extremely low. And I hope they continue to be. I think we have a kill death ratio of something like 1 to 100 still. Obviously, all these deaths are too much. But I went to a Pentagon briefing with Secretary Hegseth the other day where he said he went to the dignified transfer for a couple of soldiers that were killed and the families told him to finish the job and not let his Death. And these service members, death be in vain. So just, you know, that's where my mindset's at. I know you guys also like, represent like a wing of the party, an emerging wing. It's hard to say what exactly is going on though, because according to many of these polls, people, Republicans at least, are trusting the president's plan and are letting him cook, it seems. So you guys aren't.
Tim Pool (17:34)
That's true. But he needs independent voters and the Republicans need independent voters if they want to win in November. And this message that keeps going out like, well, Republicans are behind Trump. It's like, congratulations, we always knew that. Democrats have always been opposed. Republicans always support. It's the very thin middle that you need to convince and they are not being convinced. Now, you can call whatever you want. I honestly believe a good portion of these quote unquote podcaster personalities would say whatever the advertiser dollars direct them to. I'm not going to call it anybody, but I'm not talking about Tucker Carlson. I don't know what his deal is or what he believes or why he's doing what he's doing. A lot of people have accusations, but he's got something going on. Like, I mean, and I don't mean negatively. I mean, like, whatever it is he's doing, he's doing. But there are certain personnel that have no business in politics that I guarantee you, if you went to them with like a $10 million deal and said, just, you know, don't be mean to the President, support him, they'd say yes. They'd say, okay in two seconds. Because these guys, these middle guys don't know anything about the region or politics or otherwise. I'm not saying they're right or wrong. I'm saying when someone who doesn't know where Iran is tells me what they think about this war, I question their motivations.
Elad Yoran (20:23)
the status of the coalition because you know, everyone is declaring that the, you know, 2024 coalition is dead, et cetera, et cetera. And you do see polling like within MAGA does 100% support. It's like, yeah, because that's what like it selects for, it selects for people that are in favor of decisions Trump makes. So again, if you're against the Iran war, then you're probably not considered part of the MAGA polling group anymore. And that's when you would need to go back and look, that initial batch of 2024 Trump voters really determine how popular is this war. And then again it's like I think even President Trump is starting to realize that, you know, this might have been a miscalculation. You're seeing on his Truth social feed, like it's kind of like he's a little upset. Like it's kind of clear. He's saying like we're just going to bomb all their energy fields and then like you'll come back around and say Israel shouldn't have done that, that was a mistake. It's like I think he's starting to realize that we might have under calculated what's going on here.
Tim Pool (21:11)
Let's jump to the story from Task and Purpose army raises enlistment age to 42. Removes waiver for marijuana possession. Hey, that last one, that's for you, Gen Z. So they want to make sure they can get as many people as possible in. And so I can imagine they're having a meeting, like, what do we do? Well, why don't we allow older people to join? Hey, look, 40 is the new. You know, was it 40 is the new 30. Right. These guys can still fight. And they're like, what about young people? Well, why can't we recruit young people? They smoke too much weed. Let them in. Anyway, so it looks like that when you get a story like this and they're saying they want to increase enlistment and so they're changing the rules instead of offering incentives, it sounds like they're really trying to get a lot of people in right now. And of course there have been concerns, at least I would argue they may be fake. But the left liberal media has been reporting fears of a potential military draft over this conflict. What people need to understand about Iran, ninety plus million people. This is not Afghanistan. If you think it was hard, if you know that it was hard enough for the US to deal with goat herders with AK47s in a desert country, Imagine what it's gonna be like going to a mountainous 90 million person strong country. They can take out military targets, but you do not get regime change with 90 million people without occupying that country by force.
Lachlan Markay (27:35)
I think this was on the list of, like, three different things to increase military recruitment. And, like, that was way overdue, of course, expanding the age range. But also, like, this waiver for marijuana is very overdue. I think there's a lot of people who could serve despite having minor possession convictions. I think there was also one other thing, and that's the grooming standards, as I understand, like, there's a strict grooming standard in the military, and black people deal with this differently than other people because their beards grow in differently, and it's very curly, and, like, shaving causes
Tim Pool (29:44)
No, what you do is you fly over Iran with all of the addicts, and then you give one, like, you know, you know, carrier with a bunch of crackheads, one with a bunch of meth heads, one with a bunch of heroin addicts. And then what you do is as they're all, like, sitting there, like, freaking out, you walk up to like, you know, they open the hatch or whatever, and then he dangles a bunch of baggies and says, you guys want this? And he chucks it out and they all run full speed and just jump out to go get it.

Tim Pool (36:14)
Yeah, I think it would have to be an extended service, like eight years, not a single four year. And you gotta consider that there's a darkness to this question, because what you're basically saying is most of them aren't coming back. If we said we got 10 million males of fighting age, as everyone was pointing out, and we're gonna just drop you in the country and just take it over. Like, we got narco gangs, you know, why is it that Joe Biden wants so many rapists and murderers and. No, no, no, no, we need to keep them because we're gonna drop them in Iran and let them just do their thing. It's kind of like if you took a cat and threw it into a, like a rabbit pen and just like watched what happened. Yeah, that cat would go nuts, just be mauling any. Everybody in the rabbits be freaking out now, honestly, the rabbits might actually kill the cat, but 10 cats. So the challenge there is some bad people might come back. I get it. But while I would like to say, yes, understanding that what you're saying is, you know, 6 million are probably going to die if we actually, like, this is a country of 90 million people.
Tim Pool (41:15)
No, man, they make it restaurants. I was. I went to a. It's like Dominican. I went to. I think it was a Dominican restaurant. And it's my favorite breakfast. When I used to work at Vice, I would always go for breakfast at this. Like, that's right. The three hits. So amazing. And that's what I get for breakfast. Fried cheese, fried salami, boiled and mashed plantains. And I'd be like, extra pickled onions. And this funny thing happened where there's a, like, the Hispanic guy working around the counter. He was like, man, he's like, white people love yellow rice. And there was like a black dude, he was. He was there and he was talking to Hispanic guy, and then he said, don't white people love yellow rice? And then the guy working there was like, yeah, man, they do. And I kid you not, right? This is in Williamsburg. Rad Ray says it. A white dude walks in hipster flannel and glasses and like, you know, slicked back hair. And he walks up and goes, can I just get an order of yellow rice? And then we all started busting out laughing, and he didn't know why. And I was like, damn, that's me.
Tim Pool (47:13)
So shortly before this, Donald Trump announced he was postponing strikes on Iran. Seven years ago, June 21, 2019, Donald Trump came out and said he was stopping. He was calling off an attack on Iran because the casualties would be too great and it was disproportionate to Iran had shot down a US drone. So he's like, no, no, no, we don't want to kill that many people over this. We're not going to do it. However, a few hours before Trump made the announcement, a refinery in PA exploded. At the time, I speculated this could be what's called ICS sabotage or industrial control system sabotage. That is, we know for a fact our adversaries have hacked into our industrial control systems to destroy them. We do the exact same thing. And it's largely viewed in cyber warfare as a mutually assured destruction moment. A Mexican standoff. Every country got their finger over the button that would destroy the critical infrastructure of their. Of their. Of adversary nation adversarial nations. Now here's where it gets interesting. This morning I speculated, saying, look, I really don't know. Probably just a coincidence, right? Except I was unaware of not this post. This post here from @amuse who tweeted a Saudi X account posted a specific threat against the Port Arthur Motiva refinery one hour before the nearby Valero explosion in the same city. He deleted the Post and all 4739 of his previous tweets immediately after. This account is A Saudi X account created in April of 23, connected via Saudi Android app, posted a specific warning that Motiva enterprises in Port Arthur, Texas, the largest U. S. Refinery and up to 720,000 barrels a day, would be destroyed within a week. The post went up about an hour before the Valero refinery explosion rocked the same city. The user then deleted that warning. Now, here's the thing. The Valero facility is across the street. It's literally. It's. They're like next to each other. This can't be a coincidence, right? Apparently it can be.
Carolyn Wren (55:02)
than a buck or two, though, because it's going to be a bucket. It's going to go to, I think, $175. If you saw the United CEO put out a press statement yesterday that they're preparing to raise all flights by 20%. So you start to do your flights, and then also oil prices, that evolves. Everything from, you know, you driving to work planes, machinery that you work. But then on top of that is 70% of the world's fertilizer supply comes from there. Fertilizer is food. It will decimate our food supply. Not only, you know, in the United States, we're a little bit more insular to that, but at allies across the region, across the country, the fertilizer is like just as. As you could see a massive famine from this in place like India.
Carolyn Wren (57:31)
So I was pretty heavily involved in that and I, I went down to Venezuela not long ago actually, and, and I was initially against it, mainly because I was against the narrative that we were doing this because of drugs. And I'm like, that doesn't make sense. No drugs come out of Venezuela. The drugs come out of Colombia. Like Venezuela doesn't need to launder drugs. They launder oil, like in gold. And so I just felt like we were being, when we started blowing up boats or I called the canoes, I'm like, I don't really understand what we're doing there. And I think there were two different. Again, this is why I love Trump. He'll bring in different factions to come and debate and then he chooses the course to take. There were factions that wanted a full regime change there, which was to go in, take Maduro and then bring in mcm, who is the opposition party leader. I thought that would be a disaster. And especially because Venezuela is 23 million people. They're in our backyard. They already had a massive migrant crisis that led to them all flowing here. And so if you start a civil war and take out the leader in a regime in Venezuela and then just abandon it. Then you could see real famine, inflation, and then migration. But what Trump ended up doing is he took what the real hawkish South Floridians wanted, which was to topple the Maduro regime, but then by putting Delsey Rodriguez in charge, who was the vice president there, who I've met, she's very smart and stuff. And then basically, he owns her now. Right. She has to do everything. He said he was able to do it where there was no protesting in the streets, no loss of life, really. No. So he kept the regime intact, but we got the objectives we wanted, which was to neutralize what could be a threat there. I mean, they were close to the Iranians and Russians, rather, they were selling all their oil to, like, pennies on the dollar to China. And now we really get to be the ones to export all that and secure that. And there's also a lot of other natural resources that Venezuela has. So I think it was flawlessly executed by President Trump, and I think he took several opinions and meshed that together. And I was a skeptic, but I'm very, very pleased with the outcome.
Carolyn Wren (60:06)
Yeah. He and his father's dying wish was for him to liberate Cuba. I think for Rubio, this is like. And even Venezuela, Venezuela, it was weird. Like, Maduro's security guards were all Cuban. And so the Cuban intelligence, they were directly linked. So I think Rubio's thought was, if you, you know, take down Venezuela and cut off Cuba, that was their only financial resource and lifeline. So for me, I'm just. I'm less interest in Cuba because they have no natural resources. Yes, they have beautiful beaches. It's a cool tourism spot. But, like, Venezuela was strategic, incredibly important country of, like, 23 million people on a coast with a ton of oil and more importantly, have a lot of gas. Cuba, you can build hotels at the end of this. So I'm like, what? But for. For Ruby, I get that it's deeply personal. You could topple the Cuba regime in like eight seconds. I don't, like we went in and captured Maduro, no problem. We took out half the Iranian regime, no problem. We can't find Nancy Gunthery, so that's confusing. But I'm assuming they could find and take out the Cuban leadership. But I think that that is on pause right now because I think it's taking a lot of our, whether or not Secretary Rubio or high level State Department folks, their time away from like Iran is now what everyone actually should be focused on or working. But I think Cuba will fall fairly easily. But it's really just South Freudians. It's about 700,000. I think maybe even, actually, maybe even less than that might be combined with Venezuelans who live in South Florida and this, I mean that's what they really care about. But it's been so long that even gone back, a lot of their families have passed away. A lot of people grew up where their parents came over here they've never been. And so I do think that loudness about liberating Cuba has really died out on a national stage. But you know, Pam Bondi is from Florida and got elected from this crowd. Suzy Wilds, White House Chief of Staff is from Florida. You've got obviously Rubio is from Florida. You got Michael Waltz from Florida. I mean it is a like Floridian
Carolyn Wren (64:06)
Look, this is what they did to Biden. They all propped him around saying, he's great, don't listen to him, and show fake polling. And they lived in this bubble where the rest of us living out in the country were like, yeah, he's gonna lose, like, if you go talk to your neighbor or whatever else. And this is why these polls are so dangerous. And I think it is a form of suppression. And I always say that. I think polls are for strippers and firemen. They're not for predicting elections. And the problem with these is when you go ask the MAGA question, where it was on CNN of like, that question, the way they phrased it was if you were a. Consider yourself a MAGA voter, if that's how you would check the box when they ask you that, which, like a MAGA enthusiast, that that's the wing of the party that you're in, then it was just asking, do you still have Trump's approval? Like, I'm a MAGA voter and do I still approve of Trump? Yeah, like, of course I do. I would walk over glass for that man. But that doesn't mean you can't disagree with certain things. And also I do think, especially for someone like me who works in this field, I'm very vocal when I do disagree on things, because this is what I like about Trump. He listens to a lot of people. So it's just Lindsey Graham on the golf course with him, telling him to bomber on all day. And the rest of us are just clapping, saying, you have 100% support. Then like, what are we all doing here? What, eight years of my life?
Tim Pool (65:11)
For Reuters Ipsos poll shows Trump's approvals at 36%. Now, to be fair, that's a single poll, but I think when you're looking at all of these polls, let's pull up the RCP average and see what the current approval aggregate is for Donald Trump. It's currently sitting at 41.3. Disapprovals at 46.3. It's a minus 15 spread. Now, a lot of these polls I don't trust. I think that's fair for, for most people, what you want to track is the polling trend. Because if you've got, you know, ABC or CBS, what is. They have a minus 20, right? You're going to say, well, they're biased. Fox News is a toy is bad. They're biased. So Fox News says Trump is minus 10. You know, they're, you can assume. Well, they're biased. They're going to skew negative. That's baseline. A month later, that minus 15. If they haven't changed their methodology, Trump went down. And when you see Trump going down across all metrics, Trump is down. And again, I'll stress this, the proof's in the pudding. A Democrat just won first state House. Mar? A Lago, like Palm beach, that's where
Carolyn Wren (70:39)
Yeah. So I always, I always. You got to trace the money on these things. First of all, a 60 vote threshold is not in the Constitution. So that was a rule making decision I think in 1913 that then kind of sprout. But it is like nowhere in the Constitution it says you have need 51 votes. So it is ridiculous. We have 60, 60 vote threshold came along with lobbying. Why? Because corporations did not want think of your big pharma company and Elizabeth Warren or someone just goes and gets to drop a bill that says that like we need to lower insulin prices. And you only need 51 votes. And all of a sudden these senators actually really do have to be on record on a vote like that. When you do the 60 vote threshold and there's never, you know, no one's ever had more than I think 56 or 57 of one party, then you can always blame the other side or whoever else and claim this bipartisanship. But really it's a of matter massive corporate lobby trying to keep this filibuster to exist because these senators would not be able to survive in their jobs if they were actually taking votes that we the people wanted them to take on things such as an 80, 20 issue like voter ID. So then it goes to the Democrats said, we will lift the filibuster. This was to pass HR1. That was Nancy Pelosi's big. Their election bill. Basically the same thing that now they're saying you can't federalize elections. It's like, okay, all of you went on record saying you would nuke the filibuster to pass your HR1, which was federalizing elections in the way you want. Two senators didn't. And that was Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. They are no longer senators because of that one vote alone. Democrats only had 52 seats, so they couldn't get it passed to nuke. You have to actually vote and get 51 to nuke the filibuster. And in fact, Sinema couldn't even go to, like, a wedding in Arizona. She would be booed out of it. The Democrat base was so pissed. So the Democrat parties made their decision. When they take power, the filibuster's gone. Now we Republicans are in power and we have all three branches of government and we can't get Trump's agendas passed. And I think, insane that we're holding onto the. This like this. This filibuster rule that is not even in the Constitution. And this is an incredibly important vote for them to take. And at minimum, I think we should take a vote on the filibuster because they won't tell us which senators are against it.
Carolyn Wren (72:55)
Well, this would be. If the Democrats take power and get enough seats and stuff. So if they were in power right now, they would. Schumer has already come out. And then, in fact, when Schumer. They were criticizing this talking filibuster. The talking filibuster is different from nuking the filibusters. The talking filibuster is basically, you just talk exhaustively until that party, the other party, goes home or has to leave, and then they don't have a quorum until you can talk technically pass it with 51. This was Mike Lee's idea. And they all, everyone's like, we've never. John Thune came out and said, I've never even heard of this. Well, I found a video from two years ago of Chuck Schumer calling to use the talking Filibuster to pass HR1 when it was right after cinema and Manchin had voted against nuking the filibuster. So Michael Lee's idea was not wrong. He was right to push for this. And it's not nuking the filibuster like using the talking filibusters better. But I think that these Republicans, they, I don't know, they don't wanna do anything. And it's not that they're against voter ID or some of these senators, but they are so obsessed with the institution itself. But now they're lying to us today and came out and said, we can pass it through reconciliation. No, you can't. The Senate parliamentary will never allow it. You couldn't even get illegals who are on Medicaid. We tried to get the Senate parliamentarian to, we tried to ban that in the big beautiful bill and the Senate parliamentarian stripped it out. And the idea that you're gonna get any part of the Save America pass through reconciliation is a joke. But they just want a fundraise on Hannity and tell us that it's going to happen.
Tim Pool (74:15)
I think this is largely why young men especially are sour on Trump. And I think just dudes in general are checked out. I think the polling data shows exactly what a lot of people are suggesting right now in the space. I'm going to, I'm going to go there. I know that guys don't like to hear it, but this is why you've got a lot of people. Kirk posting, Erica Kirk content is massive female viewership and guys have checked out. They're just, they're over it. I think the Iran war was a massive kick in the balls to a lot of guys. And I think this, I feel like we got a one, two punch of mass demoralization right at this exact same moment. And that is the Save act failure as well as the Iran war told a lot of guys you've been wasting your time with this. And so they're probably like, guys, let's go, let's go watch football ball. What's the point? We, we, we struggled, we screamed and we clawed for, for years and we're back at square one. It's almost like you ever play video game and then it's like you forget to save and you fight a boss and lose. And then you realize you didn't save and now you got to go start from the beginning and you're like, oh my God. And you just throw the control down. I'm not playing anymore. That's what it feels like for a lot of people. And then so at the same time, there are in the metrics, a lot of behind the scenes, I'll tell you guys, secret it. A lot of people are pointing out, like, we're friends with some of these people who have been, you know, talking about Erica Kirk quite a bit, though we disagree with it. Their viewership is skewed almost entirely female. The moment you start talking about Erica Kirk and it makes a lot of Money, your, your RPMs Triple, your female viewership skyrockets. Male viewership is massively crashing. And that's, that's what everybody's pointing out
Tim Pool (76:05)
Even Joe Rogan had a viral clip where he was talking about Erica Kirk. Because everybody in this tree knows this. And what I will say to everybody is that behind the scenes, these conversations, like I like an hour long phone call with someone in the industry that you guys all know who it is. I'm not gonna say who it is. Talking about how viewership is collapsing right now. Everybody's experiencing it. And the one thing I often hear is like, obviously for those that are watching on Timcast, IRL, between Rumble and YouTube, we have, I think 32, 32, 33,000 concurrent viewers. And we were hitting like 45, 50K two months ago. Now we're down to like 33K. It's not bad. It's better than where we were comparably to the previous election cycle. We have seen some growth, but it is seriously down. And everybody is having conversations wondering what's going on, why it's happening. And I think it's fair to say that men have checked out. That's it. Women don't care about this stuff and never did. That's why our audience has always been 80% guys and 20% female. And now you can see with the approval ratings of Trump among men dropping, they're not interested in this. But the people who are hanging on are Trump supporters. So they're saying no, what's the problem? They stand with Trump.
Tim Pool (78:43)
against, yeah, we'll jump on this thing. But this is, this is the point is that guys got heavily involved in politics, Politics became pop culture. And I think now, I'll tell you, my honest feelings was like with the Iran war kicking off, I was like, so Trump was wrong about the 12 Day War. We did not disable their capabilities. Now we're going back into war. And it just, it feels like a one, two punch of demoralization. You've got the SAVE act failing despite it being extremely popular. And I think people are completely demoralized. Like it was fake the whole time. Trump's giving us war. We didn't want that. And I know the Trump supporters are saying they're for it. But it's fascinating to see Trump supporters all of a sudden being like, a lot's right about everything, bro. Come on. Like three months ago they were like, we don't like a lot. He's wrong about everything. Now they're all agreeing with him. Hey, I got no problem if you're going to stand behind Trump the whole time. I think Trump still is, is the best president of my lifetime. I think we've had a bunch of miserable presidents and way better. But my point is for young men, they're like, oh, Trump's doing the exact same thing. What was the point? Oh, the save act isn't getting passed. What was the point? Why were we spending time doing this, bro? I'm going to go order a pizza and go kick back and fish or something.
Elad Yoran (81:10)
Well, I think the left just like realized how disastrous the Resist Lib era, how bad optics that was because you think about all the characters to a lot of points. They're freaking out all the time. Trump too. They're actually. Things are happening that they were saying cause nothing happened in the first term, but the things that they were saying were happening in the first term are actually happening now. Like, there's ice goon squads, and they're, like, not really freaking out. I mean, Moeller just died. Do you remember, like, the first term? Like, Moeller was, like, this superstar, and they were glazing him like crazy, and they had, like, you know, effigies and these candles form and everything, and then he died, and they just kind of, like, quietly were like, like, okay. Because they're almost embarrassed by how crazy that period.
Carolyn Wren (82:30)
And, like. Like, if you went to a Trump rally, it was, like, dangerous. Like, you were, like, going to something. Nobody knew what was going to happen. There was, like, brawls breaking out. Trump's, like, throwing. There's, like, two cops and sec Tailgate. Yeah, it was just absolute, like, ma madness. But I like. I'm like, this is so different from, like, then I'm, like, standing at a Jeb Bush rally. I'm like, what do I. What is this? Yeah, but that, to me, that part is, like, kind of one. It's just everything is so formal now when you're President Xu has long. And he's also had multiple assassination trips. But I just find in January, the White House was saying, all right, we're gonna spend. Send the President out, and we're gonna focus on a, like, affordability tour. And now we're in March, and I'm like, okay, but. Well, I think I saw him go to Memphis and, like, one other place, and we've invaded Iran. But, like, where can we go back to?

Tim Pool (91:15)
Let's jump to this story. We've got this tweet, massively, massively viral tweet. Trevor sheets. He's got 32 million views because he said, my wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born again, committed to church, evangelized, constantly Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin. We got to know each other well. For over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day. Reaction Pick. Attached. We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker. You could imagine saying she's been the most wonderful is what he's saying. She's more pure than most virgins. As biblical purity has less to do with past sins and more do with one's current posture, I'm gonna speed through this because you get the point. He says a woman or man's past sexual sin matters, but what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is the first per is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. And then he quotes the Bible. He's got this beautiful picture of his marriage, and of course, it is blowing the F up with 12,000 replies, 7,000 retweets, and 31.5 million views. And, oh, boy, here we go. Tate, what's wrong with this?
Elad Yoran (92:36)
There's a lot wrong with this. I mean, like, let me just clear this, because people just don't understand. Like, it's. I think people are being intentionally obtuse. We're not really critiquing the concept of redemption. Like, yes, and Christianity. I'm speaking as a Christian. When you do, like, admit to your sins, right? Like, you are a new creation in Christ. There's no doubt about that. Like, no one is debating that. What we're having contention with is two things. One is the bizarre public, like, declaration where you just air your dirty laundry on the Internet and then somehow package it as if it's like a testimony and that it's somehow helping somebody. It's really not. And it's actually just having a demoralization. I actually think that's, like, the primary
Elad Yoran (93:33)
Because that's, like, the primary issue, I would say, with the entire thing is it's really just presenting to women the concept that it's more of a bailout than an actual. Like, there's not a proper. There's not proper indication to These women that, like, it's actually a really bad thing to be promiscuous. It's just saying, like, it happened. Oh, well, you know, it's like a. It was like a phase of her life. You know, it's like. Like, some people are emo, some people sleep around.
Elad Yoran (93:58)
Yeah, well, that's. And that's. So that's effectively what he's telling. And again, it's like, this isn't a novel testimony. This is probably like, half of marriages where, like, the woman or the man had, like, a really promiscuous background. Because unfortunately, the world that we live in today is like, the concept of, you know, chaste. Like, the concept of saving yourself for marriage is basically laughed at. So it's like, it's really rare this actually happens. So, again, I don't know why he's packaging this. Like, this is some unique testimony that we are desperately needing. It's like, no. Young women understand this. And for young men and young women that are pursuing, like, a Christ like marriage, this is just unbelievably demoralizing and frustrating to see. Cause it's like, yes, we know young women who are women that, like, sleep around get bailed out all the time. We know that. And then, in addition to that, it was just.
Elad Yoran (94:40)
No repercussions. And then it was insulting where he said, she's more pure than a lot of virgins. I think you might have said most virgins. That's just absurd on the face. Because it's like, one, that has a definition what, like, pure means. And two, it's like, screw you. Like, there's a lot of young women, specifically, that are waiting, that are trying to be obedient, and, like, this woman's stolen valor because, like, what, this guy married or now she's more pure? It's like, no, that's ridiculous.
Elad Yoran (95:36)
But Tristan's getting at. And like, like, you know, I'm trying to approach this from, like, a Christian standpoint, but what he is hitting on is valid. And this is a problem is this, like, scarcity mindset. So it's specifically with young men because the dating market is so bad for young men right now that as soon as they find a woman that will, like, show them love and affection, especially if, like, this guy, I think he's a little older. He's like 30 when he got married, they're just gonna jump in with both feet because they're. The reality is, for a lot of young men right now, especially Christian young men, there is this sense that, like, there's really not that many eligible spouses, and they have a really difficult time finding eligible spouses. So if they finally find someone that at least ticks a few boxes, they just go all in and, like, worship this woman. It's the scarcity mindset, and it's a big problem with the evangelical community.
Elad Yoran (97:01)
Well, and that's like the thing. Like, there's this thing where, like, a lot of men Are like, wow, you know, she's like ran through or whatever. She's really going to regret that one day. Or she's waiting to get married. Like, she's really going to regret that when she's older and doesn't have kids. It's like, there is no justice. Actually, these women do end up happily ever after. They will find a guy that again, is just going to bail her out. That's like looking for a wife and he's gotten old enough where he's like, I'll just, you know, marry anyone that will show me affection. There is no justice. Like, these women will be fine. They will have kids, they will have a husband, and there's nothing you can do about it. And that's what infuriates young men so much.
Elad Yoran (97:58)
Well, I'm not saying they should get like, divorce. I'm just saying, like, let's not prescribe this as like a model to follow. And that's what this guy is trying to do by airing out his wife's dirty laundry. I mean, she's spoken about this testimony publicly, but it's like, dude, stop the way he's portraying this. Again, it's not. I believe her. I believe her at face value that she truly is redeemed and she's not going to fall in that lifestyle. Some guys are trying to like, you know, dig into her lifestyle. I don't really care about that. What I'm saying is stop presenting this like it's a model, because it's not. And the reality is the way that marriage works in 2026. I'm saying this as a Christian. Picking your spouse is not something you can screw up. You gotta get that right. And so it's like you need to interpret it. Interpret whatever data you can to determine you're making the correct calculation for the same reason why you wouldn't have a born again pedophile, like, babysit your children. Because it's like, that's great. You've redeemed your life. And I do believe You, I do believe you're redeemed. But past sin, there's consequences to that. You're not going to be seen the same. It's just unfortunate. But it's like, you cannot remove consequences. It's unfortunate.
Elad Yoran (103:16)
it is, well, I think it's that. But I think, like, evangelicalism in and of itself has a serious undercurrent of feminism. And this is why you see these churches. These churches have like, basically TED talks for sermons, and the worship is like, gay. It's like, literally, you know, it's like just this really whimsical music. Jesus is my boyfriend style music. The great Voddie Bachem coined that. And it's like. It's just pathetic. It really is. Evangelicalism in 2026 is just anti male, fundamentally. And then you're seeing it where all these pastors are coming out and they're like, the real problem here is actually the men. And you're like, what? Like, where did this come from?
Tim Pool (104:31)
30 years old. Like, I think Elaine was supposed to be like, 28 or something. And they look like they're in their mid to late 30s relative today. It's because we don't go outside as much. This is true. So people went outside to walk places more often. So obesity went up. And a lot of people are like, something happened. There's this meme where they're like, something happened at the end of the 90s where obesity skyrocketed. They changed our food. No, the Internet. Internet people stopped going outside. They started doing more work at computers. You used to have to walk to the store for things. Now you don't now someone else does it for you. There was this, I can't remember who, who told the story. You guys maybe look it up. I think the chat will know where guys like I, I intentionally walk to the store to get envelopes or whatever because it's not going to the store that matters. It's what happens on the way where I see a dog and I pet it and I wave to my neighbors. Not anymore. And so I think one of the reasons why testosterone has been dropping is not necessarily because of microplastics in our balls or whatever. It's because guys don't use their muscles. They're not walking, they're not lifting, they're not doing manual labor. Young, young men used to have to go and lift rocks and do work as kids because like women worked at the soda shop and they, they, they'd bring in your burger on roller skates and guys would, would move boxes and lift and, and break rocks because guys. And then you had like that video of the presidential fitness program where the guys are swinging on the monkey bars and they're doing pull ups that work. Boosted testosterone. It's not just about all the food now. Guys are eating takeout pad thai. Heavily starchy, with only a little bit of protein. They're sitting around watching movies. Their muscles are thin and flabby. They don't build testosterone. And then they go whatever you think here.
Carolyn Wren (108:02)
Yeah. No. So he. They go to New York City. He was asking me about, like, restaurants, and then I don't remember what. He picked someplace. And then the next day, we were flying somewhere in the Midwest, and so he gets on the plane immediately, like, how did it go? And he looks at me and was like, I'm gonna marry her, and was so. And then I got to, like, watch him court her. Just how purposeful he was. It was actually really neat to see. I'd not seen a guy just, like, take a girl out on a date in so long and then do that, and then just actually, like, veto and drink.
Tim Pool (108:26)
Let's. Let's actually hit this one more story. I know we're pushing a little late, but let's. Let's grab this one. It's from Media Betray the Charlie Kirk Show. Utterly disgusted after Joe Kent says he'd testify at alleged assassins trial. Now, Joe Kent has made the claim that he was not allowed to investigate any foreign nexus which may have been involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which, of course, presents a little bit of doubt. I'm not saying it's, you know, beyond a reasonable doubt, but the. The outrage here is that Joe Kent is insinuating there may have been something else involved, and they were blocked, locked. Which will allow the defense for the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin to say this was not a proper investigation. And with this statement already in the public, how can the FBI say that their investigation was thorough and complete and correct? If you have the testimony from a counterterrorism director saying they weren't not allowed to investigate, that's going to create reasonable doubt for the jury. They're going to get this guy found not guilty because at least one the of. Not to mention the amount of jurors that are probably watching a lot of these podcasts in these shows. So this is interesting, but I will just say, you know, I don't. I haven't seen the evidence. You know, we've only seen what's in the public. I think the trial should be public. We should be able to see what the evidence is. And I think that the official narrative on Tyler Robinson is not correct. But I think Tyler Robinson is likely the person who did it. We'll see what the evidence bears out. I think Tyler Robinson did not act alone. And there's evidence that other people had foreknowledge of what was going to happen, happen. And that is being effectively. I don't. I don't know if covered up is the right word, but you've got people claiming Israel did it, which seems ridiculous because Charlie held a seminar to convince Gen Z to support Israel. Like, even Nick Fuentes is like, that's crazy. Like, if Ben Shapiro died, people are gonna be like, israel did it. That's insane. That being said, they are really downplaying all of the evidence suggesting other people were either assisting or involved with this assassination, such as the vehicles outside of Robinson's house, the social media posts from individuals saying, something is going to happen. They had foreknowledge. Something is going to happen. The question is, how did they know?
Carolyn Wren (110:30)
Well, he's the director of counterterrorism, which, by the way, this is an organization that was founded post 911 because there are many people say that if the CIA, FBI had actually been coordinating on the intelligence that they have, we could have prevented that attack. So that is what the. His role is to be at the intersection. He has access to every single piece of sensitive data that comes through our country from both the FBI and CIA. So the idea that Joe Kent, he's saying that they tried to obstruct him. Nobody disrupted you, Joe. You were in that job. You could have investigated anything. You were the Director of Counterintelligence and you were counterterrorism. You were Senate confirmed. No one is able to go into the computer system and block Joe Kent from having access to that data. So, one, I think he's a liar, and I think that this is pretty outrageous as to what he did. And by the way, you were in that role for a year, so what the hell did you do about anything other than run away and then go debate Mark Levo van where I learned absolutely nothing. And what was the worst, like, 47 minutes of my life?
Tim Pool (111:44)
He denied leaking it, but. But Colvett and I can corroborate this. Said that he. Colvitt said that he gave that text where Charlie said he was. He would. He was being forced to leave the pro Jewish cause. He gave that to Joe Kent. And then, sure enough, the next thing he knows, it leaks to Candace Owens. Joe Kent's denying it, but then it would be Joe Kent gave it to somebody he shared with somebody after he said it needs to be made public. What I can say is that I had spoken with guys at tpusa, including Cole it, and what they're saying now is true, that this is my understanding before any of this became public, when the text came out, I was told this exact story. And so the fact that Joe Kent is now, you know, in the spotlight and Covid is saying he's the guy that was given it and it got leaked even before this was public. I knew. So I don't say anything because if someone tells me to keep things private, you know, I'll be like, okay. Because they're like, we don't know who leaked it. But I'm like, like, yep, I don't know. Well, I will say this. It would seem, at least as far as my understanding of these conversations, Joent did leak these texts 100%. Now, whether he leaked it to Candace Owens, I don't know. But somebody was giving it, and it got to Candace. Now, the problem is the problem with the selective release of a text message like that and what Candace is doing with these texts is that she can Just put out whatever message she wants to frame the picture any way she wants. And Charlie can't speak up to defend himself himself or to correct the context. And so I, I, I just. You see it endlessly where people are like, this proves Charlie was anti Israel. And it's like, yes, but at the same time, like around the same time, he did a seminar with Gen Z to convince them to support Israel. It's like that's context too. And it sounds like to me from these texts that he was basically venting. Not that he was saying he was changing his stance, but he was like, man, you know, it very much reminds me of the, oh, won't someone rid me of this meddlesome prison priest. Not a direct statement of I want him dead, but a, I'm just so frustrated with these people. And then it's taken to be construed as that he was anti Israel.
Tim Pool (114:28)
The people who threatened to kill me are not Israel. It's the craziest thing. It's just literal whackaloons. The people who have swatted us and we believe, we know it is, they are leftists. There has never been an instance where, like, it makes no sense that Charlie Kirk would be killed by Israel. Maybe some other foreign country, I suppose, but it is wild what has become of the political space in this country. And I'm going to say this too. I think another reason why young men may be dipping out of politics. You do have a break from Trump. And this could be a combination of factors from demoralization. Also, many people are probably fans of Tucker. Tucker is probably driving a shift as well. But I also wonder if there's a lot of people that have just, they've checked out because of the psychosis of politics, because you've got, you go on X and what happens, I love this. You're either a Nazi or a Jew. Like that's, that's the polar extremes at this point. And then somehow I'm both simultaneously. It's amazing. So I got to tell you, it's demoralizing and it makes it like, why would I want to be involved with any of this insanity? Why would I want to be party to the grifter class who are just saying whatever they have to say because they're scared their views are going down and that's what's happening, happening. And, and you know, I'll say this to any, to everybody watching, I, I told this story before. There's a fitness influencer. He made videos about fitness after October 7th. He made a video about October 7th. And he was like, you know, I don't really talk about this stuff, but the things that we're seeing are really horrifying. And everyone's talking about it in the comments were asking me my thoughts. So I decided to make a video. And you know, it's like everybody gets in this moment, this cultural moment. Well, all of a sudden he goes from getting like 30, 000 views on fitness videos to 150,000. And he's like, wow. Then he gets more comments being like, have you heard what's going on? Can you, can you update us? Can you tell us what you think? And so then he's like, well, when I do, last video I did, it got six figures right. There's another video on Israel. All the comments are anti Israel critical saying, I don't know, man, this seems fishy. Did you see this story? Did you see that story? Slowly, over time, with more and more comments and more and more money, his channel is now nothing but anti Israel content. He is nothing but an anti Israel influencer because his RPMs went up, his viewership went up, and he says, I've become successful. It's when you look at Mr. Beast, look at his early YouTube videos, playing Minecraft, giving people money. And then that's where he found his success. Now he's doing game shows. You know, he's just become a generic personality.
Tim Pool (119:17)
And what I was told, it's because the the marketing company that does the posting does not care about politics. They care about engagement. So this is a guy sitting in a room who has no idea what Trump is doing or not. All he knows is that when he says Trump Here he gets 4x impressions. When he says no Trump here they get forex impressions. So they just set the machine, it keeps going. People have been saying this all over X. Every time the Hodge twins post, they're like, on X, they're pro Tucker, they're anti Israel. On Facebook, they're pro Trump. Y. Facebook is largely boomers who like Trump. X has something else going on, whatever that may be. Different, different audience. So all of a sudden, these people, they start shifting what they normally talk about. They're talking about geopolitics, talking to taxes, to erica Kirk's leather pants. 100, 400,000 views. You know, 1000-002003-00400. I'm like, why is this guy who used to talk about politics that I actually liked watching, cared about about now, just complaining that you wore the wrong pants?
Tim Pool (120:14)
Because they get a boost in female viewership, they make a lot more money, their RPMs jump, and they're chasing after it. So by all means, we can have a show here where we talk about whether Trump is doing good or Trump is doing bad and be honest about our thoughts on it. But that's not what makes the most money. And then something else happens. YouTube is going to algorithmically promote whatever generates the most viewership and ad rates. And for some reason right now, RPMs on Erica Kirk content have, by, have, have passed finance. Finance is the number one RPM. It's like 20 bucks. And now Erica Kirk posts are rivaling or beating finance. I was talking. I was talking to these people who are running this behind the scenes, and they're like, oh, yeah, ERICA KIRK Content 20, 25. And I'm like, what news media is six, seven dollars? That means for every thousand views you get, you'll get six, seven, five bucks. Not if you're talking about Eric Kirk. I get 25. That means not only do you get more views, you get more money. And the reason you get more views is because YouTube is like, if the RPMs are higher, promote these videos more because we'll make more money off ad sales. So who the is advertising intentionally on Google Ads targeting Erica Kirk content? That's the weirdest thing to me, but it's happening. It is. She is completely irrelevant on the world stage. And I'm not trying to be a dick, but she is. Okay? She's running a student organization for politics. She's not telling Trump to bomb Iran. She's not involved in any of that. And if you really want to influence what's going on, you need to be talking about Pete Hegseth or Donald Trump or Mark Wayne Mullen right now. Nope, that's not where the money's at and there's a bunch of conspiracies about it, but it could just be that people chase after what gets the viewership. They struck a gold mine with this because women are interested in it and men. So if you've got 80% male viewers, but you add so many female viewers that you shift to 60% female, your audience is skyrocketing, your RPMs are going through the roof and you're going to be rich. I wish you the best of luck. Let's go to Rumble. Rants and super chats, my friends. Smash that like button. Share the show show with everyone in your life you've ever met.

And then he was like, do you want to have guacamole? And I was like, sure. And he bought a avocado that was this big. And I was like, what the is that thing? He's like, it's avocado. And I was like, it's massive. And he was like, what do you mean? And then I was like, bro, our avocados are, like, this big. And he's like, ah, no avocados. They're big. It was amazing. And then we put, like, a cup of lemon juice on it, and it was the best thing ever.

Same old man says, tim, go outside and Talk to people in town, cities and so forth. They will give you a better idea of how popular Trump is or not. Indeed. And that's literally what I do all the time. I. I go out every weekend to various poker rooms, of course. And one of the things that I. And everybody loves at the poker table is sitting down with usually seven other people. Because a lot of. A lot of casino, a lot of poker rooms, they make more money if they do eight max instead of nine seaters. And then you're sitting with a random group of people and everyone's talking, and it's a lot of fun. And that's why old guys do it. They call them old man cough. You go to a poker table, there's gonna be three old retirees, and they're there because they want friends, and all their friends are dead. So they can sit down and they can talk with people and, you know, have some social engagement. And it is very nice. It is very nice. You know, play with these guys and then you talk and you find that. I gotta be honest, I find that most people I talk to similarly agree with what I've been saying. Even the people who are like, I like Trump. Like me, I like Trump. I think Trump's the best president of my lifetime. I think he's had a series of blunders and he's hurting really greatly. Among moderates, I sit down with some young guys, varying ages, old guys, and they all say the same thing. Yeah, Trump's a lot better, but, man, this is not looking good. And the economy's not doing well, and you and young men are struggling and they're frustrated because all of these. These hoes are getting bailed out by these Christian guys.

I'm trying. Too far away. Can you see it? Oh, yeah. That hearkens back to the olden days of 2020, when the table was much smaller and there were only two people. And rarely did we have a guest. And there was in the UFO Gmail account. Here's the secret. The original purpose of this show, Tim Cast irl, was I have a van that I had built and I had talked about this on Rogan. It has solar panels. It's actually outside still works everything. It's got electric. It's got so much juice from the solar panels that it will never run out of power because it's just sunlight. And I had actually produced my morning show from it. 1 When I was on a road trip to go to Texas to join Joe Rogan and Tim Cast IRL in real life was going to be. I would do my show from this mobile sleeper van and then pull up somewhere and say, hey, guys, I'm currently in this place. Come hang out and we're going to do a real conversation where I put up a table and anybody can come and we can have a conversation about anything. And then co happened. So the channel had like 78,000 subscribers on it because I was like, check out the van. And like, you look at the first videos. Like, I had the van co happened. And it was like, okay, well, now we can't go anywhere. So then the idea was, I have nothing to do with the other half of my day. So I wake up, I do my morning show, everything's great, and then I'm playing World of Warcraft. You know, I was playing World of Warcraft Legion, I believe the time. And then I was like, you know, the easiest way to do more segments would be to just do a live stream with my buddy. And then we would just do 10 minutes. 10 minutes, 10 minutes. And we can pick anything. And the original idea was going to be weird and wild, wacky interest, interesting stories and conspiracy. And then because of the nature of COVID it turned into news, politics and commentary. And that's how we ended up where we are with this show. And yeah, now that's all over. So there we go. Let's grab a couple more of these. What do we got here? All right, let's see that one. Gamer says Trump should send the Shira Chiraq special forces with Tim leading the charge. Tim can be the company commander for Oblong Block. There are a lot of gang bangers and let's just call them listless young men in Chicago. Man. You drop those guys, drop them into Iran, man, that'll be wild.
