There's reports of at least one death with several injured. And the US has now entered the war in defense of Israel along with other allies to intercept missile strikes from Iran. Iran is threatening to target US bases in the region saying that they will be held fully accountable for their assistance in aiding Israel in these strikes. Now initially the US said they didn't know anything about it. Trump has now come out and said we knew everything. And it's being reported in is by Israeli news sources that this was a psyop. The Trump administration was pretending to want to negotiate peace to deceive Iran into thinking A strike would not happen. Iran has now come out and said we were deceived. So welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the U.S. s involvement in the Israel Iran war. Something that I think most of the Trump base did not want. And now MAGA is split. Tucker Carlson is ragging on these neocon personalities and saying Trump is complicit in this. So, oh, boy, we had a lot to break down in exactly what's going on. Before we do, my friends, make sure to go to cast brew.com and buy some Cast Brew coffee because nothing is better than a delicious cup of coffee. When you are hearing about war and the end of the world, you're going to want to be wired for that. I'm half kidding. We got Ian's Graphene Dream Low Acidity coffee. We also have Sleepy Joe decaf and Unwoke decaf, as well as focus with Mr. Bocus. If you want to support the show, you can buy our coffee. We got coffee pods. Check it out. But don't forget to also smash that like button. Share the show with everyone you know. And I want to give a heartfelt thank you and shout out to everybody who is spending their Friday night listening about an escalating war in the Middle east and fears of an escalation to World War three. Instead of going out and partying, which is the responsible thing to do, I guess. But holy crap, are things getting crazy. Not to mention Marines are actually on the ground right now in la. On the ground. So we're going to talk about all of that. Joining us tonight, we got a couple of guests. We got Anthony Cabasa.
Anthony Cabasa
Hey, thank you so much for having me, Tim.
Tim Pool
Who are you? What do you do?
Anthony Cabasa
My name is Anthony Cabossa. I'm an independent journalist out of Los Angeles, California. I have been covering the protests there since last Friday. When they began, they began violent, regardless of what Gavin Newsom says. And yeah, just been documenting everything that's been happening there. So thanks for having me.
Tim Pool
Right on. And this gentleman has returned from the morning.
Anthony Cabasa
Let's go.
Aiden Mattis
Oh, yeah, I was here earlier for Culture War. My name is Aiden Mattis. I am the host of the Lore Lodge History Unhinged and the Weird Bible Podcast. And I probably primarily do history stuff on YouTube.
Tim Pool
Right on. Ian is here.
Ian Crossland
Hey, guys. Ian Crossland up in this. I'm an actor and musician and a producer. Happy to be here. I also have the magnificent Phil Labonte.
Tim Pool
Hello, everybody.
Phil Labonte
My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and a counter revolutionary. Let's get into it.
Tim Pool
Here's the story from Axios. Iran strikes back at Israel. US Helps to intercept missiles. Axios reporting Iran launched a major counterattack against Israel on Friday, firing on 100 missiles and two barrages. The retaliatory attack began 18 hours after Israel launched a war against Iran, attacking its nuclear facilities and missile sites and killing top military leaders and nuclear scientists. The US Is helping to intercept incoming ballistic missiles according to an Israeli official and a senior US Official. So, ladies and gentlemen, the US Is now in the war. Now call it whatever you want. Some might say. I know that the more pro Israel side is going to say we are not at war with Iran, we're simply defending an ally. And I know that the anti Israel side is going to say outright we have just started a war with Iran, Iran. But I think it is fair to say settle that aside. What is Iran thinking about this? They are threatening retaliation because the US Defending Israel and supplying them with weapons while Israel is bombing them. As far as they're concerned, we are at war with Iran. We are actively involved in Israel with weapons and we are, we are helping intercept the missile strikes against them. That's how Iran's going to see it. The question is, does this result in Iranian attacks on US Assets in the region? Considering what Trump has been saying about we knew and Iran saying that the US was deceiving them, I think it's very likely. Now a couple of quick updates. This is massive from Fox News. The Korea compound, Israel's equivalent to the Pentagon, has been hit. We have this report from, from Fox News. Let me see if I can play it. Correspondent Trey Yings has been up all night, is standing by with all the details. Trey, what can you tell us? Yeah, Laura.
Ian Crossland
Following that Israeli attack against Iranian nuclear.
Tim Pool
Facilities and top IRGC leadership overnight and.
Aiden Mattis
Into today, the Iranians have responded with.
Tim Pool
Three waves of ballistic missiles.
Aiden Mattis
This is Israel's version of the Pentagon.
Tim Pool
The Kiriyat and the building on this.
Aiden Mattis
Compound was just hit.
Tim Pool
Please go back.
Aiden Mattis
Go back.
Tim Pool
Please go back, please. You can understand here it's very tense.
Ian Crossland
At this specific location because the Iranians.
Aiden Mattis
Are now targeting the defense establishment of Israel.
Tim Pool
Wow. So here we go. We also have this from, from Fox News, Trey Inks. An Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building in the suburbs of Tel Aviv. At least one woman has been killed and 20 others injured. So so far all I've seen is one death in Israel. I'm not entirely sure. There is a video actually which I'll I'll see which shows the rocket strike. It's close up. So I don't know. What do you guys think? There's a lot to break down on this.
Phil Labonte
Well, I mean.
Anthony Cabasa
Good.
Ian Crossland
Well, I think that Netanyahu, who made a proclamation as to why they launched this attack, was likening this to the Nazi buildup, military buildup, and the appeasement that happened before World War II. The French and the British, basically, Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, wanted to appease Hitler because Hitler wanted old German land back. He wanted peace of Poland, he wanted part of Czechoslovakia. So the, the, the British gave him Czechoslovakia, they gave him the western part of the Suvan land. And because of that, the Germans kept building up and building up and building up their military until it was too late.
Tim Pool
So this is, this is a video of a, of an Iranian ballistic missile striking downtown Tel Aviv.
Ian Crossland
And the idea is the holy hypersonic, maybe like the, bypassing the, the Iron Dome's capabilities, new weaponry. But I think the argument that Netanyahu is making is that he's preempting a military buildup, that if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, they will use it, they will obliterate Tel Aviv. You think that was big? You know, imagine, you know, whatever modern day military warhead. And so it's like if we don't stop them and, but I mean, that's a declaration of total war if that's the case.
Phil Labonte
Do you find that argument compelling that they would actually use a nuclear weapon on, on Israel? Because honestly, like, legitimately, I don't think they would. I think the reason that they want a nuclear weapon is because, you know, North Korea has a nuclear weapon and the US Isn't breathing down their throat talking about regime change. Libya gave up their nuclear weapon. And then, you know, a couple years later, NATO was running air cover for the rebels. So I don't think that Iran actually wants it specifically so they can use it to essentially set in motion the destruction of the Iranian regime. Right. Because even if they killed a bunch of Jews, Jews or a bunch of Israelis and did massive damage, the United States is definitely going to step in if they use a nuclear weapon.
Anthony Cabasa
I feel like Iran would stand to lose a lot more personally if they were to nuke if they want to hit Israel. They know. And this is something I was watching Tucker Carlson the other night, and he was interviewing that and saying that we've been made to believe that both Iran and China are these big threats, but they're really not. Our threats are sometimes our neighbors. Like Mexico has killed More Americans. Right. Than, than Iran probably has in the last couple of decades.
Phil Labonte
Agree about Mexico, disagree about China, Go ahead.
Tim Pool
Sorry.
Anthony Cabasa
Right. No, yeah. And hey, I'm, you know, my mom's from Mexico. I'm, we're right there, you know, and we see the disaster and the implications of having a bad neighbor to our south. And I think somebody, I don't know if it was Jack, but so that posted, you know, when are we going to strike the cartel sites in Mexico? The same way we're hitting Iran, you know, and is, I think it's valid.
Tim Pool
Israel took out all of their top military brass and the US is like, well, I don't know. Yeah, cartels are actively killing people all the time. It's crazy.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah. And I don't know how anyone can look at, you know, the President of Mexico now where Donald Trump kind of extended his olive branch and said look, if you want us to help you with your cartel problem, we can. But of course she wants to make it seem like, oh, we will never allow like another country to come in and, and, and take care of our own problems. We can do it by ourselves. But it's like, okay, you're kind of telling on yourself right now.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So I'm seeing a lot of people post Israel has a right to defend itself. And I'm like, wait, wait, hold on. You're not seriously implying that a preemptive strike on Iran was self defense?
Ian Crossland
That's been since thousands of years they've been making that argument. It is. The Romans did it. They were like, look, because sometimes if you just sit back and wait and the enemy on the other side of the border builds up their military and you don't do anything, then they invade you, they destroy your industrial capacity. You can't rebuild your counterattack. So you do the preemptive attack as a form of defense because you know they're going to attack you.
Tim Pool
But the argument is, is defense.
Ian Crossland
It's the best defense. A lot of people say in war for sure, like the French before World.
Phil Labonte
War II, like if you, if you're in a situation where you have to defend your life, like if you got a gun, you don't have to wait for someone to punch you to take your gun out.
Tim Pool
And so, so let's try this. Your neighbor says they are going to kill you and then you're like, okay. And then one day you see him standing in his front yard assembling A, A 308 and while smiling at you, do you have a right or does it make sense to Attack them?
Ian Crossland
Technically, legally? No, no.
Tim Pool
You know, morally.
Aiden Mattis
I mean, in real life, you call the police.
Tim Pool
I don't think that's a, a, a, a fair analogy. It, you know, war, there's no law.
Ian Crossland
Sorry to interrupt you there.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it's very different when you're dealing with a nuclear bomb and mass casualties. The scale of death is where things get weird. Like now, I'm, I'm just saying there are people who are ideologically captured.
Ian Crossland
So when I ask, what is Odoo, what comes to mind? Well, Odoo is a bit of everything. Odoo is a suite of business management software that some people say is like fertilizer because of the way it promotes growth. But you know, some people also say Odoo is like a magic beanstalk because it grows with your company and is also magically affordable. But then again, you could look at Odoo in terms of how its individual software programs are a lot like building blocks. I mean, whatever your business needs, manufacturing, accounting, HR programs, you can build a custom software suite that's perfect for your company.
Tim Pool
So what is Odoo?
Ian Crossland
Well, I guess Odoo is a bit of everything. Odoo is a fertilizer, magic beanstalk. Building blocks for business. Yeah, that's it. Which means that Odoo is exactly what every business needs. Learn more and sign up now@odoo.com that's o d o o dot com.

Available@pockethost.com Terms turn on Israel. I call them the Israel first people. And they are like, denounce Israel strikes on Iran, Tim. And I'm like, I don't, I don't care. I literally don't. I'm not going to denounce Burma or whatever it is China is doing or, you know, Tibet and Pakistan, Israel, Iran, whatever. I'll denounce the US involvement and say the US should not be involved in this.
Anthony Cabasa
And I don't know if you guys have also seen there's articles going around that as far back as the 1980s, Israel has been putting out headlines. You know, Iran is close to a nuclear war within five years. And there was like another one in 1995, like they're months away from an atomic bomb. And then like fast forward 45 years and it's like the same headline over and over again. Just, hey, there's, there's a nuclear war that's about. And we, we have to go in there. To me, you know, it just doesn't make sense because Israel, they've got so many different warfronts. They're going on in Syria, they're going on in Lebanon, they're going on in Yemen, they're going on and they're still got Gaza to, to take care of. Why launch a new assault on Iran knowing that the backlash. And then when I saw that they were getting a, you know, that they had assaulted and, and done drone strikes in, in Iran, they're saying like, oh, now Israel is asking all its citizens to flee, you know, into shelters and. Because Iran's going to hit back. And I'm like, well, what did you expect was going to happen?
Aiden Mattis
Well, you almost wonder if they knew that was going to happen and if they're using it as a cause of spelling, you know.
Ian Crossland
And that Pentagon thing they got there, what's it called, the, that building that they have, it's a civilian military site. So it's like a human shield site. If it gets blown up, they're going to be like all the civilians that were there.
Tim Pool
And that sort of Pentagon is the same thing.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. Like the military is usually directed by the civilians in like most democracies.
Ian Crossland
This is the thing about this attacking Iran, claiming Iran's a big threat. In the late 70s there was an Iranian revolution. The Shah, which was democratically elected president of Iran, got overthrown in suspectedly a CIA coup. The Israelis may have been Involved. But they put in this radical religious sect, this, this Ayatollah Khomeini, this intensely radical Islam, Islamist, who's like the perfect enemy, and now they have an enemy to fight. It's similar with Hamas. The Israelis are. Apparently, they put. They propped up Hamas because they needed someone to fight against.
Phil Labonte
The United States didn't back the Shah. They didn't back the.
Ian Crossland
I think they backed the revolution.
Aiden Mattis
We overthrew the Shah and installed a democratic regime which was then overthrown by the Islamic Revolution.
Tim Pool
So. So even right now, we got a super chat. And with respect to Scott Thomas, in your 64 months, seriously, wow. Thank you very much. He says, stop simping for Israel. They had negotiations, negotiations for Sunday. They could have waited but decided to be the aggressor. This is what I'm talking about. How is it simping for Israel to say the US should not be involved in Middle Eastern conflicts? The US should not. Because I have to be anti Israel.
Phil Labonte
You're not getting it.
Tim Pool
I'm as anti Israel as I am anti Burundi.
Anthony Cabasa
And not only that, but I think, you know, this is something that my audience has been asking me is why does Israel keep announcing. Why does the US Keep announcing that they're going to strike on Sunday? They're going to strike on Sunday. Why tell your enemy? But it's also public pressure, right? Because if now Israel can kind of go back and the US can kind of go back and, like, look, for months and for weeks, we've been putting out, we need to strike a deal. We need to strike a deal. But you opened up the segment, Tim, with the fact that, I guess Israel is admitting that this was all, like a ruse, that the deals were actually just to, like, kind of deter Iran and kind of have its defenses down. So that's kind of a shocking revelation, the fact that it looks like Donald Trump is saying, yeah, we've been lying to Iran. So now I know there's a lot of people pissed off at Donald Trump because they're like, what the heck?
Tim Pool
Trump wasn't really negotiating peace.
Aiden Mattis
Well, also, more importantly, he wasn't just lying to Iran, he was lying to.
Anthony Cabasa
Us, all of us.
Aiden Mattis
He told us that we weren't involved in this, and now it turns out we were.
Tim Pool
So we got a video. It looks like somebody who was in the building that got hit filmed it. Check this out.
Anthony Cabasa
Okay.
Phil Labonte
Yo.
Tim Pool
Jeez, that's crazy.
Phil Labonte
Go get out.
Tim Pool
Or he's right next to the building that got hit.
Aiden Mattis
I like that it's going back and forth between Hebrew and English.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah.
Aiden Mattis
He's cursing in English.
Tim Pool
Right, right.
Anthony Cabasa
But he's in shock in Hebrew. Yeah.
Tim Pool
I mean, yeah. Let's, let's see what else I can pull up here. We have a. What's the next. Here we go. This is a story from the Dallas Morning News. Quote, we knew everything. Trump says as US Shifts military resources after Israel hits Iran. It's from the ap, as reported by Dallas Morning News. The United States is shifting military resources, including ships in the Middle east, in response to Israel strikes in Iran. President Donald Trump told Reuters on a phone interview Friday that he and his team knew everything about Israel's plan to attack Iran and that he had given Tehran fair warning it needed to make a deal on its nuclear program. We knew everything and I tried to save Iran humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I knew, because I would have loved to seen. To have seen a deal worked out. They can still work out a deal. However, it's not too late. So this is. Initially the talk was that the Trump team White House had no idea and they were, they were planning negotiations. I think. I don't know if we have this one. No, we don't have one pulled up. We do have this. Trump says Iranian negotiators working with us are no longer alive and says they didn't die of the flu. They didn't die of COVID Israel. Israeli sources had been reporting. Check this out. How an Israeli American deception campaign lulled Iran into a false sense of security. Israeli officials says Trump's warnings Netanyahu not to attack, as well as stories of Israeli officials flying to the US And PM taking a vacation short, were put out to fool the regime. Now, I don't know how much of that is true, but with Trump saying we know everything, it sounds like that may have been the case that the US Was basically saying, no, no, no, we want to negotiate with you. Considering Trump's the one who killed the nuclear deal, him saying, I'll negotiate you. It's plausible. And the reason why they're keeping this from the American people is that Trump knows his base is largely anti intervention and doesn't want to be involved in this. But it's entirely possible Trump was trying to maintain the posture of we don't want to be involved in this conflict, getting those stories out. So Iran thought the attack would not happen.
Ian Crossland
Netanyahu also said he wants an Iranian revolution. He wants the people to overthrow the dictatorship that is their government. He doesn't have a problem with the Iranians. It's the Government. It's the dangerous psychotic. This is his argument. I think Trump might feel the same way. And I'll tell you what. If I was in their position, if I was the Ayatollah Khomeini right now, and I was betrayed like this by the Americans in the middle of the peace deal, I would never forgive them. Literally never forgive them. So unless they're removed from power or destroyed, whatever. Unless they're removed from power, I don't see this conflict ending. Now, if there is a regime change in Iran and there's a democratically, you know, maybe there's a Republican, a republic that's instantiated, maybe, maybe they can. Maybe that can quell the violence, but I don't see it. Other than that, I don't see it.
Phil Labonte
That kind of wasn't the. The result in. In Iraq. I don't know that that would be the result in Iran either.
Ian Crossland
Iran was a successful Democrat.
Aiden Mattis
They do have a much longer history as. Yeah, as a. This is going to sound bad. But as a civilized state, like, they have been around independently for thousands upon thousands of years. On the other hand, Islam is a tribal. It's. It's a religion that likes violence. And the concern that I would have is that what Trump may not be understanding here is that in Islam, in their eschatology, it says that in the end of days, the stones will cry out, there is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
So when you look at the people who are in charge of Iran, as much as the regular, average Iranian probably isn't a hateful person, the people in control are. And their opinion is that it is better to die than it is to submit to the world outside of Islam. And that would be the concern I would have. I think it's foolish to go into a conflict with them expecting that they will tolerate their own people rising up. They will happily kill them before giving up power.
Ian Crossland
I heard that the Israelis basically launched a surgical strike, destroying members of the Iranian government and military, like top brass, top nuclear scientists.
Phil Labonte
They were literally killing people in the room, like, they were selecting the room that they were in, shooting ordinance into the room that really basically just killed the people in the room, and it didn't destroy the building or whatever.
Tim Pool
Sorry, go ahead, finish.
Phil Labonte
No, that's it.
Tim Pool
I just wanted to clarify your point. It's not when the end days come, it's that they won't come. The quote is, the Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight Jews and kill them. Then the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees and the rocks and trees will cry out, o Muslim, there's a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So basically that was actually in the Hamas charter too.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah. Their eschatology has it that when we come to that point, that the war will happen, and then even these stones and trees will cry out against the Jews.
Tim Pool
It was a prerequisite for them to meet the Day of Judgment to do this.
Aiden Mattis
And that might. When you look at the Shia position and the intense religiosity of the Iranian regime, I would be very concerned about what they might perceive this to be.
Ian Crossland
It's interesting. The caliphate is an interesting concept that a religion itself formed a state, the Muslim caliphate, in, like, I don't know what it was. 700 A.D, 800 A.D. i mean, Israel is technically a religious state, but that. There was, like, a country. But there was also this caliphate that was a country. Like, was Muhammad, like a governor? Was he a president? Was he. What was.
Phil Labonte
He was a prophet and.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
And a war leader.
Phil Labonte
He was a warlord. Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
And in Islam, the caliphs are his. Basically his direct descendants sometimes. And depending on which Shia or Sunni might be a more spiritual succession, and in some cases, it's a more direct lineage from, I believe his. His cousin.
Ian Crossland
That it's intricately tied into the governance of the system is like, oh, they.
Aiden Mattis
Fully believe that the. The successor of Muhammad is the one who should lead both the religion and the state.

Phil Labonte
Cancel CT mobile.com state yeah, and that's a big part of the problem because of a lot of the things that the religion specifically said specifically about Israel.
Aiden Mattis
And it's very different from, from the way Christianity views this church and state relationship. And I understand, I got cooked this morning. I know, but the, you know, they don't see it as a partnership. It is one. And that person is to lead Islam into a position where it overtakes the world. But of course then it has to shrink back and it has to be cornered. And then there's, it's kind of like revelation. He just, Muhammad just kind of took revelation and rewrote it.
Phil Labonte
It has to shrink back and be cornered.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah, it expands and then it is defeated back, pushed back to Jerusalem. It's really crazy how this is all in revelation and other wording and then 600 years later some guy in Arabia is like, hey, we're gonna do that too.
Ian Crossland
You know, it's a bit of a tangent. Muhammad reminds me a lot of Alexander the Great in his story. He was like a young, well, middle aged war leader and then hugely successful. People fought him. Then when he died, his, basically his, his generals split up his empire and formed their own countries or cults or groups. The same thing that happened with, you know, this, with, with Alexander. Similar things. Similar.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah, very.
Ian Crossland
I think Alexander was poisoned by his men though. I don't think.
Anthony Cabasa
I definitely think there's also like an interesting conversation happening in which obviously now it's looking like Donald Trump knew everything, right? That could mean two things. It means we were playing Iran to kind of surprise it or it could mean Israel had always informed us what they were planning on doing. And I was actually trying to strike a deal with Iran through these last weeks and I mean, look like how much time they gave Iran, right? So I mean, I think Trump in, in some way can kind of be like, look, I was doing my part, of course Israel needs to run it by us. But I think that there was like, you know, I've heard like people like Ben Shapiro say, you know, like, and then you had Mark Levin saying that who, who are we, the United States, to tell Israel that they're not allowed to strike Iran. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, look, that that could only be True. If. If it's. We take the Ben Shapiro route, in which we're just completely disengaged, but if we're sending money over to Israel and they're depending on us, which the reports show that America has interfered and intercepted a lot of these missiles. Well, wait a minute. What happened? I thought Israel didn't need us.
Tim Pool
Yo, they brought. They brought Mark Levin on Fox and Friends this morning. And that dude is Israel first as they come.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, he's lost the plot, man.
Tim Pool
He was. He was, like, fervently saying it is America first to defend Israel and fight Iran and all that stuff. And he's like. And they call me a neocon, and I'm like, that's not America. Like, that's literally not. It's the antithesis of America first.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Anthony Cabasa
You know, I. I will say this is something that I actually have a conversation with my audience about, you know, being Hispanic myself, my mom from Mexico. Yeah. Like, we don't have. I don't understand this, like, America, Israel stuff, to be honest. Like, I. I see, like, all these, like, Americans kind of, like evangelicals talking about, like, this undying loyalty to Israel. But, like, in Los Angeles, we don't. Like, my mom never. We never grew up really having. We never talked about Israel.
Tim Pool
You've never been.
Anthony Cabasa
What's that?
Tim Pool
You've never been to Israel?
Ian Crossland
Shout out to Douglas Murray.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, yeah, I haven't got invited.
Aiden Mattis
Well, are you Catholic?
Anthony Cabasa
I'm not Catholic, no.
Aiden Mattis
But you are.
Anthony Cabasa
I'm Christian. Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
So it's. I'm gonna take another l. As a Protestant today, this is rough for me, but this is, again, Protestantism, which is largely where the idea that we're supposed to defend Israel comes from. Because it's not that Americans are supp. To defend. It's Christians are supposed to defend the Jews, Christians are supposed to defend Israel. And this is a. An outspringing of a certain kind of Protestant theology that is native to the United States of America that came about in the early 1900s, which kind of pushed this idea of we're supposed to be supportive of Jews, we're supposed to be supportive of them as a state. And it bases this upon a very skewed interpretation of the Bible.
Anthony Cabasa
But I've heard that before. Not to interrupt you, but what I would ask is what? So then how did Christians bless Israel or Jewish people before 1948? So, like, between, you know, the fall of Israel back then. Well, Zionism, 1948. How did Christians bless Jewish people?
Aiden Mattis
You know, like, we persecuted them quite a Bit in the Middle Ages, yeah.
Ian Crossland
The Jews got in the Bible are the ones that killed Jesus. So that was like they were the enemy in the Bible. So the Christians basically that was, they set that up pretty early on to let you know the Jews are the enemy.
Aiden Mattis
Anti Semitism was kind of the default position of the church for a very long time. Not necessarily like Hitler's version of it, but they are others. They should not be included amongst us. Has been the way it's been viewed for a very long time.
Ian Crossland
Then the Zionist movement appeared in like the 1850s and they were like, well let's, we want to set up a Jewish state. Let's work together with the British Empire, all this big British corporate empire, whatever with the East India Trading Company and they set up Israel. They basically worked on this plan to get the country of Israel. So the politics of Israel don't matter at the local level. It's only when you start talking geopolitical, the point of that country being where it is to protect the Suez Canal, to dominate the trade region, then if you start to question the validity of it, they'll start throwing religion at you and being like, don't you, don't you believe in, Aren't you afraid of.
Phil Labonte
But they're like a big part of why there's a fight in over like Israel is because of Jerusalem, right? Like, because like the Islam, Christianity and Judaism all consider Jerusalem to be like their holy city. And so it's not just about like the Suez Canal or about the Internet, the, the liberal global order, whatever you want to call it. Like there is like deep seated religious reasons for both of the groups that are PO'd about Israel to want to have access to Israel, to want to control that land.
Anthony Cabasa
But see here's the thing is like, so I still have family in Mexico and we go visit all the time. I was just there not too long ago. And it's just something that even in the churches, even the culture there, we never ever, ever speak about Israel. Like, we never talk about it whether it's in the news or not. It's not like we're like, oh my gosh, like what's going to happen? Like, you know, the Mexican people are not demanding that their government be like, hey, you need to do something. But then here like you have people like Mark Levin and he's like, like you said, it's America first to be like, I would just never hear that, you know, and I've gone to like Peru, I've gone to like Honduras. You just never hear this it's just such a, like a weird concept.
Tim Pool
What you're saying is someone needs to launch my pack.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, yeah, my pack.
Tim Pool
Yeah. The Mexican Israel Public Affairs Committee. See, that's the thing. You don't have. You don't have. You don't have an APAC in Mexico. Well, these are my pack.
Phil Labonte
Yeah. The Israelis have already infiltrated the Mexican government.
Tim Pool
They're Canada. Do they have a PSI pack?
Ian Crossland
For sure.
Anthony Cabasa
I hope they do.
Ian Crossland
We gotta sign them up.
Aiden Mattis
Canada's in China's pocket at this point.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah, they have a CCC pack.
Aiden Mattis
Secret Chinese police in Calgary.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, well, there was talk of that here in the US as well. The FBI's mentioned that there were. Actually, I think it was like San Francisco area, New York, Boston kind of area.
Tim Pool
Can I, can I just. I'm sorry, It's Friday the 13th.
Ian Crossland
Oh, yeah, it is.
Tim Pool
And we're just off the full moon. I wish I could say it was a full moon, but that was the 11th.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, hot.
Aiden Mattis
So we're close enough.
Tim Pool
So it's 95 illumination on the energy.
Aiden Mattis
95 illumination. Illuminati.
Tim Pool
That proves it.
Aiden Mattis
Yep, he's got it.
Ian Crossland
That God is real. I think that the reason you don't hear about it as much in Mexico and we do in the United States, and I wonder if they hear about it in Britain. I don't know, maybe you guys know more. Or in Australia, the Five Eyes spy club. They. I feel like they set up Israel and gave it nuclear weapons. And I say they. I mean like the liberal economic order that hold out of the British, you know, corporate empire. I call it corporate because when they created the, the East India Trading Company, that thing took over India, took over China. It took over like it took over. So they, they set it up, they gave it weapons. They basically created a nuclear bulwark in the east to protect our interest. Our interest. The liberal economic orders, trade interests. And they're highly obsessed with maintaining it. That's why you hear about it constantly in the eyes countries.
Anthony Cabasa
Five eyes. It's.
Tim Pool
It's the, it's the, it's the World order. When George H.W. bush said in like, what was it, the early 90s? 93, he said, Some people can imagine a New World Order. The phrase new World order literally was a reference to the liberal economic order and the restructuring of it. And then when a bunch of people started saying the New World Order, they were, they weren't describing a proper noun as capital N Wo. They were saying lowercase N, capital W.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, like at one point the liberal economic order was a New World Order at that period of history. So they wanted to know that one.
Anthony Cabasa
There's actually a sound bite of President Biden saying. It was one of his ramblings early on. And he was talking about. There's actually a sound bite of him saying in front of like a press conference saying that a top general told him in a top secret meeting that the liberal World Order began after World War II. And I was like, what a very odd thing to say here.
Tim Pool
We know.
Anthony Cabasa
And it just kind of went into that.
Tim Pool
But here we go. Is more 1991 than one small country. It is a big idea. A New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind. Hold on. What is at stake is more than one small country.
Aiden Mattis
Okay.
Tim Pool
The universal aspirations of mankind. Peace and security, freedom and the rule of law.
Ian Crossland
So I say we must clean the house of white America.
Anthony Cabasa
Racism. Americans who are in the white majority should be proud to stand up and be heard denouncing the sort of racist.
Ian Crossland
Rhetoric we heard on that tape. So loudly and clearly denouncing it that.
Anthony Cabasa
Our black fellow citizens can hear us. White racism may be black people's burden, but it's white people's problem.
Tim Pool
I don't know what that has to do with the New World Order, but it's in the same clip.
Phil Labonte
It was the sister soldier moment.
Anthony Cabasa
So weird.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, forgettable. Well, that there was the New World Order, the proclamation. And for, you know, like you said, 20 years, people thought it was a conspiracy theory. People like Alex Jones would talk about it and they thought he was like. And they. In. In the wwf, they had.
Tim Pool
The corporate press created a proper noun, New World Order. You can search for it on Wikipedia, but it was never a proper noun. It was a descriptive phrase for the. The Council on Foreign Relations, the International Monetary Fund, the World bank, all the system that was called the Liberal Economic Order, or the Liberal World Order.
Ian Crossland
Yep. Based out of Switzerland. Well, not based, but the bank for International Settlements kind of is the mother brain out of Switzerland. All the central banks, the New York Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the bank of Australia run their money through the Swiss bank. And that's kind of the brain of this system.
Tim Pool
And here we have it. From the council on foreign relations.org what is the liberal world order set up.
Ian Crossland
In what, 47, 49, right after World War II?
Tim Pool
To deadly diseases, to wars.
Ian Crossland
The world can be a turbulent, even chaotic place.
Tim Pool
But around 75 years ago, a new.
Ian Crossland
System was imagined to temper this turbulence.
Tim Pool
And improve the lives of many. It is called the liberal world order. This is so disturbing.
Ian Crossland
It is a liberal system in the sense that it operates on rules that are in theory apply to each country.
Tim Pool
Equally, in that it encourages each country.
Ian Crossland
To be democratic and to open its economy to the rest of the world.
Tim Pool
It is a global system in that.
Ian Crossland
Every country around the world is encouraged.
Tim Pool
To join and follow those rules, even.
Ian Crossland
If some do not.
Tim Pool
And it is a system. And what happens to those that do not?
Aiden Mattis
Dude, if you put the Helldivers music behind that, it would fit perfectly.
Anthony Cabasa
That's what I'm saying. And look at what it says. It says right there after World War II and it all began. And that's why I just found it really odd because Joe Biden was talking about something completely different and for some reason he just decided to throw it in there. And by the way, you know, I met with the top secret general who told me that right after World War II, that's when the liberal world order began. And I'm just like, well, what was. So what was it before that, you know, like. Or what was.
Ian Crossland
It was multipolar. They had the. The League of Nations, which was an attempt at like a un, but it was multipolar. And that Germany was uncontrollable. They were building up their. So after World War II, they were like, never again are we going to let a country build up its military and sneak attack and take over France. So they built this super secretive aggressive military industrial complex they called a New World Order. They set up Israel in 49, I think.
Aiden Mattis
47, 49, 47, 48.
Ian Crossland
Right after they said, as part of this construction of this order they built, they instantiated Israel and the mandate, where the mandate for Palestine had been, the British mandate had been set up and there it is now. They wanted to kind of evolve into some new one. And they were never clear about what it's going to be. So everyone's going to.
Tim Pool
You know where they really lost it though. And the reason it's falling apart is because they wanted everyone to be gay. And I'm not joking, when they tried pushing gay communism on third world countries and even the United States, it created a massive backlash in the US when corporate institutions adopted this, whether it was through mandate or I think it was more emergent. But it may be a combination of powerful interests saying, okay, let's roll with it, and social media pushing it. When you take a look at the trends across all major media, newspapers all over the world at the end of the 2000s, 2008, 2009, racism, white supremacy, sexism, all skyrocketed in every single newspaper. Once the woke critical theory emerged, a major backlash erupted across many of these countries, including Europe and the United States.
Ian Crossland
Do you think that they were like, our forced sterilization projects aren't working. They're getting upset. And then the guy's like, have you tried making them gay? And then they're like, want less population.
Tim Pool
I think the Malthusians, for those that are not familiar Malthusians have been around, I believe since the 70s believing that there would eventually come to be too many people. So they had to do whatever they could to stop people from reproducing. And you know, Bill Gates wants to reduce population growth and things like this. And so one of the strategies is to discourage sex by any means and encourage non reproductive sex.
Aiden Mattis
That is not far off from Catharism.
Tim Pool
What is that?
Aiden Mattis
It was a medieval heresy of the Church. That was basically the material world in and of itself is evil, creation is evil, but existence in and of itself does not have to be evil. So they encouraged people to have sex but not reproduce, to be hedonist, things like that. And the Catholic Church stamped it out extremely aggressively.
Phil Labonte
That makes perfect sense to interview massacred.
Aiden Mattis
About 7,000 people including other Catholics at Bezier. Because they didn't, they were like, ah, well, you know, the exact quote is, I believe kill them all. God will recognize his own.
Tim Pool
Let me play a little bit more of this liberal world order stuff that promotes order in that most countries that buy into it respect the borders of.
Ian Crossland
Other countries and seek to resolve their differences peacefully. It was developed in an effort to avoid repeating the major man made disasters of the first half of the 20th century.
Tim Pool
The Great Depression and two World Wars. Following World War II, the United States, along with several other countries started drafting.
Ian Crossland
An aspirational blueprint for what later became known as the Liberal World Order. By establishing certain international institutions. The United nations was built to promote peace between countries. The World bank would support global economic development.
Tim Pool
And the International Monetary Fund and the.
Ian Crossland
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which later became the World Trade Organization, would.
Tim Pool
Support investment and trade between countries. While these institutions provided the blueprint for the liberal world order, the system was.
Ian Crossland
Really powered by the United States.
Tim Pool
So in other words, the US said okay everybody, we're the big stick in the room, so we're gonna do what we want and you better do it too, or else. And what happens to individuals who defy the liberal economic order and the World Bank? Well by coincidence they just end up having Revolutions, it's a crazy thing that just happens in these countries. Or for some reason they end up being evil. They kill their own people and need to be killed.
Ian Crossland
Like Russia.
Phil Labonte
Hardly believe it.
Ian Crossland
The, this, the, the problem with the liberal economic order and the reason it didn't work in totality was because of the Soviet Union. They could never get in there and disrupt it until the late 80s. Then you see this oligarchical revolution in the Soviet Union, shattering it and making it a, you know, business opportunities. But the problem is at that point, the communism and the ideology had spread to China. And China in the late 40s had their own revolution against this crap. Shortly after World War II, they basically, for 100 years before the end of World War II, we were talking about this before the show. There's what was called the Opium Wars. The British, the East India Company was basically selling opium into China, 1830s, 1840s, poisoning their populace, destroying their intelligence, making them agrarian. Basically. The Chinese revolted and said, we want opium to be illegal. Well, the British came in with their advanced weaponry and stomped them down, said, no, it's not. So five years later, the Chinese rose up again. The British and the French went in, stomped them down completely and said, opium is going to be legal in China for 100 years. They call it the century of humiliation. This was like a war, a call of the Chinese Communist revolution. We're not going to put up with this British humiliation anymore. These unfavorable treaties that we were forced to sign. And so now they're giving it back to us with the, with the fentanyl. I mean, this war is still going on.
Phil Labonte
They're giving it to the United States because of what the British did. What are you talking about?
Ian Crossland
I believe, yes, now they want to destroy our, what do they call, brain drain. They want to create brain drain in the United States so we can't industrialize properly for the 21st century.
Phil Labonte
I don't think that it has a whole lot to do with getting revenge on the British by attacking the United States. I do think that the United States and China are rivals. It's not one of those things like the way that the former administration used to articulated. They would say that we were partners or that we were in friendly competition. I do think that it's actually not friendly competition, but I don't think that it has much to do with, with the way that England treated China. 100 years.
Ian Crossland
I'll be more clear. I think that it's not that they're like, have a personal grudge. It's that they look at what's the arcing power structure on Earth right now. It's the liberal economic order. Let's destroy that with the same technique that was used against us. Let's poison their populace through opium.
Aiden Mattis
They're doing a very specific ultra nationally capitalist thing right now. Yeah. And that's kind of, I think their main way, fentanyl is probably being used to hit us. But the way China is doing things is that they are putting their tentacles into South America and Africa and the Middle east through the Belt and Road Initiative. And what they plan to do is offer these countries more than they could ever possibly repay in infrastructure and things like that. And then when those countries default on their debt, well, now China gets something back somehow. What is it? It's their natural resources. It's that China gets to build military bases. China might even get to take over their governments. So China is doing something very insidious to extend its empire into the world that the United States has basically propped up with aid for not hundreds of years, but decades now. And they're trying to usurp that from us while at the same time poisoning us from behind.
Ian Crossland
When I'm looking at the two threats on Earth right now, I feel like the Communist Chinese Party and their expansion is deeply concerning. Like if they're not, if they're building up a military secretly, that could be a big problem for some.
Phil Labonte
They're not doing secret. Well, they're doing a huge military bill.
Ian Crossland
Know they're things we know about, but maybe there's things we don't know about too. We don't know. We wouldn't know. Then there's also the Middle Eastern stuff and I keep looking for a linchpin. I think it's the Russians. Like ultimately, if there was a global, global fight, whoever Russia sides with will win.
Phil Labonte
Why?
Ian Crossland
Because they're the landmass in the middle.
Tim Pool
Most amount of nukes they've got.
Aiden Mattis
You can't invade.
Ian Crossland
I mean you might be able to.
Phil Labonte
I'm not actually.
Tim Pool
You can easily invade Russia.
Ian Crossland
Maybe now with modern tech back in the day, you'd freeze on the battlefield.
Tim Pool
But that's, that's always been the challenge. But, but yeah, with modern tech and the fact that they have a large landmass and the population is relatively small compared to the landmass, but they are.
Ian Crossland
Like a, you mentioned highly militarized, massive society.
Tim Pool
More nukes than anybody else.
Ian Crossland
And red, white and blue, baby. Like it's not the time of on.
Tim Pool
The world to 146 million people. But they have more landmass than Pluto.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah, that's hilarious.
Anthony Cabasa
What's interesting is I used to kind of think that way too, where it's like, man, Russia's like this big threat and then the Ukraine secret operation happened. And I feel like that just really put things into perspective in modern day because there's so many people, you know, when I, when I talk about, like, the oncoming war and what's happening with Russia and Ukraine, what's happening Israel and Iran, there's a lot of people that I think they envision this new war to, to be like, hey, we're storming beaches again, we're dropping off all these troops, etc. But I think that this next war, it, you know, if it evolves into that and it's looking like it is, it's going to look a lot more like what Ukraine just did to Russia. And what frightens me really is all these people that just came in the last four years with open borders and what kind of drone technology were they sneaking in? What kind of drone technology are they building with stuff already here in America? And so we were talking about this earlier, right? I've been covering the LA protest since last Friday and there was one day specifically where the police were pushing back the protesters and there was a car just stuck there and it was on because you can see the exhaust pipe and it was, you know, had the exhaust coming out of it and the police were telling it, hey, you gotta move. They were like, roll down your window, you gotta get this thing outta here. And just for a split second I was like, this thing's about to blow up right now. This thing's a bomb, you know, and like, you know, you got Laura Loomer, she's been warning about, like, hey, stay out of the cities this weekend. I think something's bad's about to happen. Obviously, we've got Global Conflict representative Anna Paulina Luna, who said that she has text messages from intel saying that she knows for a fact that there's gonna be bad actors going into the cities and, and causing mayhem. And so that's all it takes. There was actually. Sorry, there was a guy that threw a Molotov cocktail. Police in la, and I captured it. That guy ended up being an illegal. So.
Tim Pool
So who wants to make a bet? I'll make a gentleman's bet. I doubt anyone in the room will take it that within the next week or two there will be an attack on Americans from some kind of Iranian actor.
Anthony Cabasa
Iranian actor?
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
The next week or two or that's.
Anthony Cabasa
What it would be told to us. You mean? Oh yeah, like that's going to be like the headline.
Tim Pool
I didn't speculate anything beyond O to be. So who wants to make, who wants to take that bet that it would.
Phil Labonte
Not happen in the next week or two? I'm tempted just because it's such a.
Tim Pool
Short window considering that Israel is bombing Iran right now.
Phil Labonte
Like I said, I'm not for the warmonger interests.
Tim Pool
They need only that tender that has been laid for years to be ignited, which is we have been told because of Joe Biden that there are Iranian backed influences, insurgents and terrorists who have entered the United States. And what would happen now if a bomb went off in a US city and they said it was a guy who came to the border and is Iranian. MAGA would immediately say, this proves it. We were right the whole time. Joe Biden did this. Iran is at fault and attacked us. Now we have to go to war.
Anthony Cabasa
I agree with that.
Ian Crossland
I would only believe it if the Iranian government claimed it was their attack at this point. But even then that could be a fake claim. I don't know what to believe.
Tim Pool
The media reports will just say they claimed all those. I'm just saying if there really is an interest in the US getting involved in the war, the Tinder has been set.
Anthony Cabasa
There has to be an attack.
Tim Pool
I discussed this with Secretary Noem. Are there terrorists abandoned the southern border? Absolutely. Joe Biden left it open. So now the narrative is already planted and the logic is there should an attack happen. It's two plus two. We knew they came in. It's been a big problem. It's why we wanted the border secured. It's Biden's fault and Trump is the hero who's going to rectify it.
Anthony Cabasa
Well, I don't know if you guys remember that video of there was an independent journalist that was filming down at the border.
Tim Pool

Cancel CT mobile.com under President Biden. And there was this guy, he might have had like an Arabian accent. I'm not really sure, but, you know, he was telling the videographer, he's like, oh, you don't know who I am? Don't worry, pretty soon you'll know who I am. You remember that video, right? So he was warning the Americans because he knew. He's like, hey, I'm going to post. I'm going to post you. I've got your face. I'm going to post you. And the guy was kind of like egging him on, like, oh, do you know who I am? And the videographer's like, no, I have no idea. He's like, pretty soon you and your people are going to know exactly who I am. So, I mean, the, the, the stage, I guess, for lack of a better word, is kind of set already. The Tinder is already there, Tim. Right. And all it's going to take is we've got no Kings Day tomorrow. I'm getting from sources that we've got, right? We got LAPD sources texting me people that work in these offices saying we're going to be completely overwhelmed tomorrow. We don't have enough manpower for even just a small cities, let alone the big proper LA proper in downtown la.
Tim Pool
Let's set aside any even conspiratorial thinking on this matter. Iran is pissed. They're threatening retaliation against the United States for our involvement in the Israel Iran war. And we are supposed to have millions of people marching in the streets tomorrow across the country. That is a perfect opportunity for our enemies. In all seriousness, now, I don't think it's stupid.
Ian Crossland
They are.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I mean, you know, I, I was, I was, I was talking about this earlier and I was thinking. I mentioned this on one of the morning segments. How come criminals get Caught so stupidly. And I'm like, oh, because if they were smart, they wouldn't be criminals. They'd make money in a relatively easy way. Iran is in the position they're in because they're not that smart. That's fair, you know, so. But also people are emotional. They may be thinking, you know what we're going to lose, but who cares? We're going to make sure the world hears us. It's like that. Let's, let's, let's, let's do a pop culture reference. When Ivan Vanko says to Tony Stark at the beginning of Iron Man 2 when you make God bleed, the sharks will come. There are people that, that know, I mean these are people who kill themselves. They will not see the fruits of their attack. So I wouldn't put it past Iran to actually say let's take the opportunity to attack Americans. However, that being said, my point is I also believe I wouldn't put it past U. S Intel to be like this is a perfect opportunity to false flag Iran.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, yeah. If you know what they did with it was the Bay of Pigs where they're trying to or no, it was Cuba North Operation Northwoods. They tried to get Kennedy to sign off on a, on a false flag to. Sir, what was it?
Tim Pool
Lemnitzer.
Ian Crossland
What's that?
Tim Pool
That was the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Ian Crossland
Oh he wanted to get.
Tim Pool
And he wanted Kennedy to sign off on false flag attacks where they would have fake Cubans attack Americans.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, Americans dressed up in Cuban outfits attacking Americans and they were going to kill Americans to make the attack. And then people get pissed off at the Cubans and then they want to go to war with Cuba. So like see we're in the age of decentralized combat.
Tim Pool
Another pop culture reference.
Aiden Mattis
How many of you have seen andor the first season.
Tim Pool
Spoiler alert. I'll keep it light. But second season largely involves. That's why I recommend you watch it though there's like woke elements to it. It is, I do like the towards the end the empire stage is a false flag. Check it out. Because they, they, they need a reaction from a certain group of people so that they can justify their actions to the empire to the rest of the planets.
Ian Crossland
And now so like combat has been decentralizing as technology has been improving. The telephone, the radio made it so command could get to the guy on the ground. Now we've got AI Is going to be able to command its own drone from the drone. So like really decent. We're like every commander is its own unit Almost. And anyone can go rogue and dress up in an outfit of an Iranian and, and do some crap. Highly explosive crap. Not anyone, but a lot of people, man.
Tim Pool
I'm actually pretty worried about tomorrow.
Aiden Mattis
I'm so glad we're at the man made horrors beyond our comprehension stage.
Tim Pool
You know, to be fair, they were always within our comprehension is the worst part about it.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm reading the chat right now and everyone's like, oh, you guys are just trying to fear monger. But let's just be honest, like, no Trump supporter is going to be out there counter protesting the liberals that are out there pro. I mean, I'm just saying from like six days of seeing the protest in downtown LA with Mexican flags, communist flags.
Tim Pool
Dallas videos where in Texas people are waving American flags and counter protesting armed, and they have guns and there's a woman with her hand on her gun telling people to get back.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, there are militias taking control of.
Aiden Mattis
The streets in San Antonio.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Would you guys advise people to stay home tomorrow?
Anthony Cabasa
Generally, I, I mean, I'll be out there as an independent journalist. Like, nothing's really going to stop me. I mean, I've got bulletproof vests, I've got a bulletproof helmet. I mean, I don't know how good that's going to do. If an explosion goes off, I'll be, oh, I got a gas mess. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I've been doing this. I covered the Floyd riots from beginning to end. I was in Minneapolis when they get the verdict. Derek Chauvin.
Phil Labonte
Okay.
Anthony Cabasa
You know, free my boy. Derek Chauvin.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. His last name. How unlucky. Chauvinism. And his name, Chauvin.
Tim Pool
What does chauvinism mean?
Ian Crossland
Good question.
Tim Pool
Oh, it means staunch nationalism.
Ian Crossland
That's weird. I got twisted to mean that you're.
Anthony Cabasa
Like a gentleman, right?
Tim Pool
Misogynist.
Anthony Cabasa
Like you open. Oh, that's chivalry. Yeah, you're right.
Ian Crossland
Male chauvinist.
Tim Pool
Chauvinist means staunch nationalist.
Ian Crossland
Interesting.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Ian Crossland
Okay.
Tim Pool
Yeah. How they lie.
Ian Crossland
I'm not fear mongering right now. I mean, you. Look, sometimes things can be terrifying. It doesn't mean you're not going to do it or it doesn't mean that you're going to stop and change, but something. You got to acknowledge threats when you see them, and this is a very potential threat.
Phil Labonte
You're fear mongering.
Ian Crossland
Am I?
Tim Pool
I mean, such a fear. The original definition. Let's just be real. The original definition was excessive or unreasonable. Patriotism and nationalism for a fervent faith in your nation. However, from there it evolved into a prejudicial person.
Ian Crossland
Okay, so just obsessive. The first part of it, the obsessiveness.
Anthony Cabasa
Of.
Tim Pool
Came from a legend. French soldier Nicholas Chauvin was badly wounded in the Napoleonic wars and received a meager pension for his injuries. After Napoleon abdicated, Chauvin maintained his fanatical Bonapartist belief in the messianic mission of Imperial France, despite the unpopularity of his view under the Bourbon Restoration. His single minded devotion to his cause, despite neglect by his faction and harassment by his enemies, started the use of the term.
Ian Crossland
Oh, okay, I think I heard that right. He was betrayed by Napoleon or he was just injured and then he was.
Tim Pool
Injured in the war and he wasn't.
Ian Crossland
Paid very well and he maintained for the state.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
And the dear leader, just the last.
Anthony Cabasa
Thing I'll say about LA too, is per my sources at lapd, they're calling in every single police officer. Like, I know police officers that were on vacation. They're like, no, vacation's canceled. You're all coming in, you know. So, yeah, I'm not trying to fear monger. I'm just trying to give the data. And if people.
Tim Pool
Yeah, out here it's supposed to rain and Trump's having his military parade.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So, okay, so let's just say this. We have been told for a couple years now Joe Biden opened the border. Chinese nationals, Afghan nationals, extremist terrorists of various factions from various countries have entered this country. Several Iranians that they fear, maybe terrorists have entered the country. Israel is bombing Iran. Iran has vowed to retaliate against the US in the region. We've got the no Kings across the country. And Trump's military parade supposed to take place tomorrow.
Ian Crossland
What's the no Kings?
Tim Pool
That's just the anti Trump protest. Oh, but the, but the other, the other threat assessment is the risk to Trump's military parade. Imagine if there was an Iranian terror attack on Trump's military parade.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, heaven forbid, man.
Tim Pool
Once again, the narrative is the MAGA is going to say to the Democrats, we told you this is your fault. Biden did this. Trump's going to then say, we will not stand for an attack on our men and women in uniform. We must enter the fray. And then we're at, we're on the ground.
Ian Crossland
I'm like, I'm trying to do the math of who supports what because the anti Israel protests don't like the Iranian attack.
Phil Labonte
But wait, what?
Ian Crossland
The anti Israel, the anti Israel people don't. Don't support Israel's attack on Iran.
Phil Labonte
Yes.
Ian Crossland
So.
Anthony Cabasa
Well, I'm not anti Israel, but I also don't support it.
Ian Crossland
That's a good point. I was a real generic anti.
Anthony Cabasa
No, no, I know.
Ian Crossland
Not a good.
Tim Pool
That means you're pro Israel.
Anthony Cabasa
No, but I'm not though, either.
Tim Pool
No, you are.
Anthony Cabasa
I'm neither.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, Israel too, but I don't support the attack.
Tim Pool
Do you think there's a place called Israel?
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, yeah.
Tim Pool
Then you're pro Israel.
Anthony Cabasa
What?
Phil Labonte
It's funny.
Tim Pool
So. So this is. I love this because. Because you're not even familiar with the, with the ideological capture of the Israel issue. By simply believing that Israel exists, you are pro Israel because your worldview supports the existence of the Israeli state, which was manufactured by the British Empire and stole the land from the Palestinian people.
Aiden Mattis
You don't ask how the Palestinians got there.
Anthony Cabasa
It's like, I mean, they're mentioned in the Bible.
Ian Crossland
The Republic of China governing Taiwan. Then you are I China.
Tim Pool
I didn't know this until people were calling me pros. I was like, I don't care. I don't want to be involved. And they were like, the fact that you think Israel exists proves that your worldview is pro Israel, I think.
Ian Crossland
What was that? The Iranian. Yeah, he was saying that Israel should be wiped off the map. They kept quoting him. I think he was like, it should be removed from the map because it's not a real place. I don't, I don't acknowledge the creation of it like that.
Anthony Cabasa
Is there a safe, like, third option? Like, how about like, my son just swore into the Air Force last week and I just don't want war. So, yeah, like, is there, like, I'm just a concerned father, less like, option.
Tim Pool
To the anti Israel people? So there's. There are sane, rational people who understand Israel exists and they're critical of it, but in the ideological captured space, you are either there is no such thing as Israel and they're occupiers, or you're pro Israel.
Aiden Mattis
In the Middle Ages, we had a really cool idea. I think we should go back to it where Christians ruled over where we had it.
Anthony Cabasa
Rome, I'm okay with that.
Aiden Mattis
Rome, the orthodoxy. I don't really care. Just Israel can't. We're looking at it right now. The Muslims can't hang there. Israel can't hang there. They can't play nice, give it to the Christians.
Ian Crossland
This is the thing about if you want to protect your kids and your. Your ideas is like, I don't want fighting, I want to protect my children. Is okay. Well one argument is if go in and attack the Iranians now, they're gonna get a nuclear war, then they're gonna attack, then we're gonna be on the defensive and it's gonna be worse. The other argument is don't go in and attack Iran, cuz that's gonna create the war. If you don't go in, the war's not gonna happen.
Anthony Cabasa
But here's like the part that just doesn't make any sense to me is Israel's right there, but so is Europe. Aren't they a much bigger threat to Europe and Israel than the us? Why are we there? Why isn't, why are we hearing reports helped intercept missiles? Why is it there?
Tim Pool
Yeah, so that's what doesn't make sense. They are. So NATO countries are also involved in the interception according to numerous reports that I've seen.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, I didn't see. I'm sorry.
Tim Pool
Yeah, so, but, but the issue is the United States in this liberal world order where the world police. This is why we bombed the Houthi rebels, because they were interfering with global trade routes. So we set up military bases all over the Middle east because we're the world police. We don't wanna back away because we don't want China to come in. Iran is a. Is. Iran refuses to get in line with liberal economic order. And so they're an enemy that needs to be removed and put under control. That's. And then they don't. So the US says we'll blow you up.
Anthony Cabasa
Here's my biggest concern. And this is where like, you know, I have Jewish friends and you know, a lot of people call me an anti Semite, whatever, because I don't wanna support this new war. I'm not pro Israel enough or whatever. But here's the thing, I'm a U.S. veteran. I served over a decade in our armed forces and I served right after 9 11. I was in high school when 911 happened. During those 10 years, I started listening to podcasts and listening to people on their take on 9 11. And I can safely say now that I have a lot of questions about 9 11. I have a lot of questions about what our own government was up to, how much they knew, et cetera. And so to this day, and I'm not the only one, there's a lot of us veterans that feel that we served under a big lie, that we were lied to, that we were sent overseas to supposedly under weapons of mass destruction. But that's not the truth. And now here I am again, right? We finally left The Middle East. I'm happy. Cool. I have my son who just enlisted. He joined the Air Force. He ships off to boot camp in September. And now we're doing this again, but this time it's Israel launching first. And people are like, like Mark Levin. He's like, it is America first. I'm like, look, man, on my father's side, I'm fifth generation American. My grandfather served. He was a prisoner of war of Korea. My father served as a U.S. army Ranger. So he was Special Forces. I served. And now my son is serving. But it's like we're tired of these wars. And what I'm more tired about is the lives that we go to war under. And I just feel personally and sure people can call me whatever they want that saying that, well, if we don't do this now, Iran's going to have nuclear. I just don't think that's a legitimate reason to enter a new conflict in the Middle east. That one day my son will call me and be like, dad, I'm getting deployed to the Middle East.
Tim Pool
Let's jump to the story from the Independent. Tucker Carlson turns it up X Fox News host blasts complicit president for backing Israel after attacks in Iran. They say the former Fox News host and MAGA figurehead rebuked Trump and the administration in his newsletter titled this could be the final newsletter before all out war. Quote. Despite being complicit in the act of war, the president hopes last night's events will help his ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran. While the American military may not have physically perpetrated the assault, years of funding and sending weapons to Israel, which Donald Trump has just bragged about, in truth, social media undeniably placed the U.S. at the center of last night's event. So we also have this tweet from Tucker where he's directly calling people out. He says the real divide isn't between people who support Israel and people who support Iran or the Palestinians. The real divide is between those who casually encourage violence and those who seek to prevent it, between warmongers and peacemakers. Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who is calling Donald Trump today to demand airstrikes and other direct US Military involvement in the war with Iran. On that list, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Rupert Murdoch, Ike Perlmutter, and Miriam Adelson. At some point, they will all have to answer for this, but you should know their names now you're here, Tucker.
Phil Labonte
He was incensed, it seems.
Ian Crossland
Well, I mean, where is it they would any of the warmongers or the people that support American airstrikes. I'm telling you, the argument they're going to make against that is if we don't attack now, were going to get attacked. It's just age old rhetoric. Because you can't prove the argument.
Phil Labonte
Well, yeah, I mean, but the, it's, it's still, it's. I don't, I don't feel like the United States is. Who's obligated to do the attacking. Now granted we are involved if we're, if we're helping to defend Israel, but still like, and funding it. Well, we're funding it through foreign aid. Yeah, but, but I still don't feel like it's the United States responsibility to do it. And I don't know why people are acting like we're obligated or like it's definitely going to be the United States or like this is going to expand into a broader war. I don't think that's going to happen.
Ian Crossland
It's because we are. The American people are the, we're basically the arms dealer for the liberal economic order. They created this military industrial complex throughout our system where we are now addicted to it. If we try to remove it, the militarism from our system, it falls apart. So they basically.
Tim Pool
But that doesn't infected us with it.
Phil Labonte
That doesn't answer why people expect the United States to be, you know, to be obligated to, to engage in combat with Iran.
Ian Crossland
We are the military, the militant arm of the liberal economic order. This is a war against the liberal economic order in the Middle Eastern caliphate, basically is what this, this fight is. And they're using the American for force because they've created us to be the spearhead.
Tim Pool
Who's they?
Ian Crossland
The liberal, the bankers. The middle, you know, the.
Aiden Mattis
What do you mean by that?
Anthony Cabasa
What do you mean?
Ian Crossland
They bank for international settlements. That's funding, you know, the Federal Reserve.
Tim Pool
That'S funding our government.
Aiden Mattis
Oh, he means the Swiss bankers.
Anthony Cabasa
Interest.
Ian Crossland
I think that the money is, is definitely.
Phil Labonte
I still don't see how, I still don't see how any of this obligates the United States States to take military action against Iran.
Ian Crossland
Well, if it doesn't, nothing happens. So it's like. And Trump, we're not obligated, but Trump's not going to.
Phil Labonte
No, no, Israel, Hey, Israel's not going to stop just because the United States isn't going to take military action.
Anthony Cabasa
He literally said that many times.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, it's not, it's not. If the US doesn't do it, then Nothing happens. Israel's definitely going to continue this. And Iran is likely to continue attacking Israel for this.
Ian Crossland
I don't know that they could. If, if the US Isn't supporting their behavior, I don't think they could do an attack like this and survive.
Phil Labonte
Why?
Aiden Mattis
Who?
Anthony Cabasa
Israel? Yeah, I think the same thing. I think that if Israel, like I said, they're fighting so many fronts, that if Israel were to fight Iran. I just don't believe Ben Shapiro when he says, oh, Israel can just take care of itself. Okay, sure. Then show us, because you attacked already and we've already had to help intercept in the past.
Phil Labonte
Who? Israel. They've taken care of themselves multiple times. They've been, you know.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, but I mean, every single country.
Phil Labonte
In the Middle East.
Anthony Cabasa
How long have we been funding them?
Phil Labonte
I mean.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, very beginning, but that doesn't.
Phil Labonte
Just because we've been giving them military aid doesn't mean that, like, it was the United States.
Anthony Cabasa
But I kind of have like a Matt Walsh take. If you're, if you're a country that can't defend yourself, then maybe you shouldn't exist.
Phil Labonte
Does that include developing your own weapons? Because most countries don't actually have a significant military industrial complex infrastructure. Yes, they buy them from other countries.
Aiden Mattis
Russia, France.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, U.S. france, Russia. You know, there's, there's, there's some countries that do, but if, if buying or acquiring military arms from someone else, me or means that you don't have the ability to stand, then there's only like five countries that can.
Anthony Cabasa
I think the best headline out of all of them is that the largest gay parade event has been canceled in Tel Aviv since the war began. They're like, hey, sorry, guys, we're gonna have to cancel pride parades everywhere because we're kind of in the middle of a war.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, it's probably a good idea to be able to, you know, get to your bunker in case of incoming missiles.
Aiden Mattis
I feel like an Israeli gay pride parade right after an Israeli attack on nuclear facilities in Iran is like a, an Islamic terrorist sweat dream. Like, that is like so many birds with one stone.
Phil Labonte
Well, I mean, I don't, I don't know about.
Anthony Cabasa
I just. Here's my. Again, like, I just come from a family where fourth generation of veterans. I'm just. I. I care about America. This is the country that gave my family everything. You know, my, my. On my father's side, we came from Italy, so my great grandfather, who actually has the same mustache, I do. That's why I let it grow out. I promised myself that when I get out of military. I'm going to grow my grandfather, who's Italian, my great grandfather mustache. But then on my mom's side, you know, she's from Mexico. And this is a country we love. We don't wave foreign flags. We don't allow foreign flags in our home. We love this country and we want to see this country prosper. And it just irks me to see that here we go with Israel, and it's starting another war, another war front. And it's like, help. We're getting attacked. And it's like, all right, well, just intercept the missiles because Tel Aviv is getting rocked again, you know, and it's just, again, I, I as, I'm just a concerned father. I don't want my son to call me dad. My first duty station is not going to be Japan, the way we had talked about, and I was hoping to go there. Yeah, it's going to be, it's going to be, hey, I'm stationed now because he's going into cyber security, you know, and, and that. And so I'm just like, dude, he's gonna go right there. And it's like, here we go again, man. You know, it's just.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I, I still have a hard time understanding why there are so many people that are demanding or just refuse to entertain other options aside from the United States actually getting involved in direct combat with, with Iran. I don't, I don't see that being the case. The US Killed Soleimani, and, and that didn't turn into some big, you know, burning of the whole Middle East. So I think that, not that I'm really big on nothing ever happens, but I really do think that this is gonna be a situation of kind of like, this is gonna happen like this. There's gonna be some combat between the two, and then they're gonna chill out because nothing ever happens.
Anthony Cabasa
Well, I forgot who said it, but they said there's a really good chance that nothing happens. Like, Iran just says, okay, you know, we struck back.
Tim Pool
I agree.
Anthony Cabasa
You know, and this actually happened, what was it, a couple months ago, where Israel attacked Iran. And Iran says like, okay, we're closing down the airspace and we're sending missiles that take two hours to get to Israel.
Tim Pool
No.
Anthony Cabasa
And then, you know, and then they're like, okay, this concludes the missile test.
Tim Pool
None of the BRICS nations, I think, I don't think any of them are going to risk war with the United States over Iran.
Anthony Cabasa
No, definitely not. That's why Saudi Arabia came out and they said, we Strongly condemn Israel for attacking our Muslim brothers and Arab brothers. But then they're like they're not going to do anything, you know.
Tim Pool
Right.
Aiden Mattis
Well the Saudis are chilling right now. They're in good with us. They got their oil money and well.
Phil Labonte
The Saudis also like the idea of a less powerful Iran.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
You know if, if Iran, when they say Iran with a nuclear weapon destabilizes the region. It's not just about Israel though. Israel is the main target and the, the thing that's going to gain garner the most attention in the Middle East. Like the Saudis don't like the Iranians and they don't want them to have nuclear weapons either.
Aiden Mattis
So I also think they're heretics. Like they have a serious religious problem with the, with the Iranians because they're Shias.
Ian Crossland
Shia versus because the IR Iranians are Shia.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
What's the difference? Shia and Sunni.
Aiden Mattis
Shia is a much smaller sect. I believe it's about 10% of the Muslim population. And they are the more radical of the two. The more religious they're the more religious of the two. I think they believe in exactly 12 imams and we're on the last one right now or something like that. I can't remember the exact details but basically there's the, the Western version, the one that spread west across North Africa and became the Islamic empire. That was the Sunni side and the Shia side took root in Iran.
Tim Pool
It has to do with who should have been Muhammad's successor.
Aiden Mattis
That's.
Ian Crossland
That's daughter is the Shia were the ones that thought his daughter Fatima was that her name.
Tim Pool
So the Shia was. They wanted his cousin and son in law. And the Sunni believe Abu Bakr.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. That was like his number two guy.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
Was the, was supposed to be leader.
Aiden Mattis
Basic like I said earlier. Basically spiritual succession versus lineal success.
Ian Crossland
Oh, bloodline versus spiritual.
Tim Pool
Right.
Ian Crossland
Interesting.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
The Sunni. I don't want to take sides just from an outsider like the Sunni look like more legit.
Phil Labonte
I don't want to take sides but I'm right obviously.
Ian Crossland
90 I love the Sunnis where they worship the sun. Is that where the word soon comes from?
Aiden Mattis
S U N It's, it's Semitic. It has nothing to do with the sun really.
Ian Crossland
Okay.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah.
Phil Labonte
And the majority of Muslims are Sunni. She is a small sect and Iran likes to poke people in the eyes because they don't want to get along with anyone.
Tim Pool
I still one of the best moments on the show ever was when Michael Knowles called Seamus a Wahhabi Shiite Catholic Seamus went, thank you, Michael. Thank you.
Ian Crossland
Oh, yes. Sunni comes from Sunnah, which means way or tradition. So this is like the tr. It's. It's a very. It's the traditional. And then Shia.
Aiden Mattis
What's Shia mean something there. There are very few Shia majority countries. It's Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Lebanon, Yemen. And then that's basically it.
Phil Labonte
Yemen. Is she. Oh, that makes sense there. So that the Iranians are supporting the Yemenis. Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
Lebanon used to be Christian.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, well.
Aiden Mattis
And then we got out bread.
Phil Labonte
It's not anymore.
Tim Pool
A lot of places used to be Christian.
Ian Crossland
When are the.
Aiden Mattis
Funny how that happens.
Ian Crossland
When are the Abrahamic religions gonna break bread?
Aiden Mattis
We aren't ever.
Ian Crossland
Aren't they supposed to.
Aiden Mattis
We don't want to.
Ian Crossland
Wouldn't Abraham want them to?
Aiden Mattis
We had this debate this morning. We had this debate this morning, and it was actually something that got pretty fiery where Jay and I were on one side and Tim and Tim were on the other side.
Tim Pool
But Jay got mad at you.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah, I know. I don't know how that happened. Don't be a Protestant, guys. It's rough out here.
Tim Pool
This morning we had a debate on Orthodox and Catholicism and Protestantism.
Aiden Mattis
I was just kind of there. The argument that we were having, Jay and I are sitting there like, well, the Catholics in Vatican II are arguing that Muslims believe in the same God that we do. And Tim didn't agree with that. But basically what we all agreed upon is that, no, Muslims do not worship the same God that we do. We worship a Trinitarian.
Tim Pool
I agreed with with Tim.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah, that's what.
Tim Pool
There were two Tims.
Aiden Mattis
Yes.
Tim Pool
I think that Tim didn't agree with that.
Aiden Mattis
No, Tim didn't agree that with. Our take is. Yeah, I might have misspoken.
Tim Pool
But, yeah, Vatican 2 basically was saying. My interpretation was that what they had written in the book is that Hindus are looking for God and they found some of the secrets, and Muslims are worshiping God, but they're all doing it wrong and they need to be doing it this way. And so I said, oh, yeah, I get that.
Aiden Mattis
It was more of a dogmatic contradiction argument than anything, but the point was that we all agreed Muslims do not worship the Christian God, at least not properly. They might be trying to, but they're not doing it. And in the same way, Christians worship a Trinitarian God, the Jews do not, and the Muslims do not. So neither of us, the Muslims would agree that. We all do. Jews and Christians do not agree with each other on worshiping the same God, but we also. Look at it kind of as a, you know, live and let live situation.
Tim Pool
Let's jump to this next story. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news. War is gay. And that's not. That's true. That's a fact. We have this from the Pentagon Pizza Report. Freddy's Beach Bar, the closest gay bar to the Pentagon, has abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night, potentially indicating a busy night at the Pentagon. And as we can see here on Google, you can see for the. I believe that's the 10 from 9 to 10, 10 to 11. Nobody's there.
Ian Crossland
What the heck?
Tim Pool
Nobody's there.
Anthony Cabasa
Where's Lindsey Graham?
Tim Pool
Later. It's a ghost town. So the gay bar was empty. Yeah. Where's Lindsey Graham?
Anthony Cabasa
I mean, I'm not saying. Didn't Natalie Winters just come out? Who she worked with Bannon, right? Yeah, she just came out with like this big article saying that, like, just basically everybody is gay in D.C. just some of them are open and some are. And then I replied to her and what was really surprising to me was the article, for whatever reason, had Terrence Williams on it. And so. Terrence Williams? Yeah, like the black guy, Terrence Williams.
Tim Pool
Where did she post this? On X.
Anthony Cabasa
She posted it on X. Yeah. And so I replied and I said, wait, why did the New York Post. I don't know who posted it. Why did they use a picture of Terrence Williams? Is he gay? And she just replied, lmfao. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Anthony Cabasa
I couldn't believe it. I was like, wait, why did.
Tim Pool
Most men are gay in D.C. either out or closeted, depending on whether they're Democrats or Republicans.
Anthony Cabasa
So if they're out there Democrat, if they're closeted, they're Republican. And she confirmed that?
Tim Pool
Yeah. Scott Presser says true.
Ian Crossland
Then it must be. Must be true.
Phil Labonte
My goodness.
Ian Crossland
Maybe they're just focused on their work.
Phil Labonte
No, that's probably not true. I mean, we're not talking about, you know, there's work they're doing.
Ian Crossland
Cocaine and hyper sexualization. Just aggressive, animalistic. Just dirty sex in D.C. going on.
Tim Pool
Just.
Ian Crossland
Yes, Grossest, darkest.
Tim Pool
Addison Cawthorn warned us.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, yeah.
Tim Pool
And then that video came out, which shall not be described.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, really, dudes?
Tim Pool
The video of the two guys in the Senate chambers?
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Look what you make me do. He did that on purpose.
Ian Crossland
Made you think about it.
Phil Labonte
It was disgusting.
Ian Crossland
Whatever you do, don't watch that video. No, I'm kidding.
Tim Pool
Dude should be in jail.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, I'm surprised he's not.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Phil Labonte
Why are you surprised?
Anthony Cabasa
He's not everyone else the guy that.
Ian Crossland
Was having sex on the Senate floor. Yeah.
Tim Pool
There's a whole, I mean, and I mean this somewhat seriously. I bet a lot of the Epstein files would out a lot of gay dudes for banging little boys. And I'm sure that's. They, they're, that's a component.
Anthony Cabasa
Well, according to, you know, what they're doing, there's a reason why they're not out yet.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I don't know. He said he regretted that.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And then do you regret that you truthfully accused the president of being involved in the pedophile and that there's retaliation, or do you regret making the story up? Because that difference is pretty important.
Aiden Mattis
I don't like how that just got swept under the rug and we're not, we're pretending it didn't happen.
Anthony Cabasa
Well, you know what's funny is Blue Anon, so I actually have people even in Spanish media, some Spanish leftists that I follow. There's this guy, his name is Carlos Eduardo Espina. He's like the number one TikToker in Spanish and he does like media and politics. Politics in America. He's part of that blue one. He went out and said, isn't it weird that after Elon Musk accused Donald Trump of being on the files that suddenly we have riots across the city? And I was like, wait a minute, you guys actually believe that Donald Trump is inciting violence in cities because he wants to hide the fact that Elon said this about him? That's really what they believe. They believe, like, oh, suddenly. But then, you know what's interesting is I asked Republicans, how would you feel if like Obama said the same thing of, of, of Biden? And then three days later we had nationwide riots and they're like, we'd believe they were covering it up. And I'm like, all right, well, maybe it's not so far fetched, but who knows?
Aiden Mattis
I keep thinking about the Assassin's Creed line. Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. Like more and more I'm starting to understand what they meant by that because it confused the hell out of me as a kid. But like the idea that just everything that's happening around right now is, is in a way propaganda that's been planned.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
And even if it's not, we all assume it is.
Tim Pool
I mean, there's the reality, you know, there's a saying, you know, that hackers have. If you're not cheating, you're not trying. Because the, the essence of what cheating is, is finding the shortest path Finding the path of least resistance. And so there are people who are like, no, no, we do things right. And then they wonder why it is that they're wealthy and famous people doing all the wrong things. Because sometimes the right thing is the path to success. I don't believe in doing the wrong thing, but I can see the people who do the wrong thing succeeding rapidly. And it's like, what do you do?
Ian Crossland
Well, you question your own morality. Because when you're. The righteous and ethical thing is not the fastest and easiest way. Sometimes you'll end up getting destroyed if you try and be ethical. So you have to cheat and become the villain of your own story to survive and win. Like, that's horrible. But that's also the reality. That's where the Hindus got it right. I think when they look at their gods, they have the Creator and the destroyer, two aspects of one God, and then there's the protector, the three aspects of one God. Like, it's within all of us.
Tim Pool
And I think many religions have the bad and the good, the destroyer and the Creator. It's not just Hindus.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. But I like that they have Vishnu and Shiva, I think. Or the Creator and the Destroyer.
Anthony Cabasa
I'm not sure.
Ian Crossland
I don't want to get wrong.
Tim Pool
You like those?
Ian Crossland
I like that it's within one. There are. Are different aspects within one.
Tim Pool
Sure. And the Egypt said Set and Ra.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
Zoroastrians have Hura Mazda and I can never remember the other guy's name. It's like a Hora Mainu.
Ian Crossland
Bill.
Aiden Mattis
That would be good. I like that.
Ian Crossland
Like an aspect of good and evil.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah. Azura, Zora Mazda and Bill.
Ian Crossland
Zoroastrism had Zoroastrianism. Good and evil.
Aiden Mattis
It's a dualist religion. They have a good God and a bad God. If you look at Tolkien's work, it actually, while it's based upon Catholicism, it has the same dynamic where the Creator God, the good God can create, but the bad God can only twist and warp.
Ian Crossland
I had the. I just had a conversation. I think it was Sean or some. I think it was Sean. The Persians adopted Zoroastrism, and then a tribe of Jews came. They were like these Jewish people, they're polytheistic. The original Jews were polytheistic is what I've been told. I don't know if this is true. And that the Persians adopted some of the Jews and taught them about Zoroastrianism, about the. The this, the one God and the evil. And then those Jews adopted it into their faith and it became the Predominant sect of Judaism.
Aiden Mattis
That's. That's a fringe belief about the Babylonian exile.
Tim Pool
Yeah, Ian, that's a fringe belief about the Babylonian exile.
Ian Crossland
Good to know.
Anthony Cabasa
Ian.
Tim Pool
This guy.
Ian Crossland
I do enjoy the fringes.
Aiden Mattis
You do? You told me Santa Claus came from mushrooms once.
Ian Crossland
I just want to surround the perimeter before I start looking inward.
Aiden Mattis
That's fair.
Ian Crossland
Make sure what's right and what's.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah, no, the. Yeah, there's. There's a couple of views with that. One of them, yeah, I came from. You can ask him about that one. But. Yeah, the.
Ian Crossland
Regarding the Siberian shaman that would eat the. The amanita muscaria underneath the. The pine trees that. Where the reindeer would defecate. And then they'd go back to their yurts and climb down the chimneys because they were snowed in. Then they'd hang them over the fireplace in their socks to dry out the mushrooms overnight. The red and the white mushrooms like Santa Claus outfit. The next morning, they'd drink a mushroom tea and trip. Think about flying reindeer.
Phil Labonte
I guess that's great.
Anthony Cabasa
I am learning.
Aiden Mattis
That was my response.
Phil Labonte
That's just.
Anthony Cabasa
I had no idea.
Ian Crossland
If you look up Siberian shaman Santa, you'll see pictures of it. It's wild.
Aiden Mattis
No, the. Just. Just to kind of elaborate on that so I don't sound so dismissive. Basically, there's two views. One is that the Jesus.
Tim Pool
Ian didn't make this up, by the way. This is like.
Aiden Mattis
Oh, I know, I know. The one is that the Jews were all.
Tim Pool

Aiden Mattis
Cancel CT mobile.com already monotheistic. He know they recognize the existence of multiple spiritual beings, but they worshiped Yahweh and that then they came to Babylon and basically the Persians and the Jews went, oh, okay, we got some things in common. Cool. And then Cyrus was like, you guys want to go back and build your temple? Your God told me to. And then the other one is that the Jews were polytheistic, came, the Zoroastrians taught the monotheism, and then they went back. But. But I do not like the latter option as a scholar.
Ian Crossland
So Cyrus the Great was basically like, hey, Jews, let's just focus on Yahweh.
Aiden Mattis
I don't know if it was Cyrus or Darius.
Ian Crossland
It was Cyrus. I believe it was Cyrus. And then he told the Jews, like, let's just forget about the polytheists.
Aiden Mattis
No, the traditional argument for Jews and Christians is that the Jews were not polytheistic at that time, that they had dipped their toes into polytheism in the northern kingdom of Israel, but the southern kingdom of Judah was strictly monotheistic. So there. There's a little bit of give and take to it.
Tim Pool
What about Odin?
Aiden Mattis
I dude's baller, even if he's pagan.
Tim Pool
But where'd he go? They just stopped. They're just like, nah.
Aiden Mattis
They went, you know, this. This dead God on the stick is pretty powerful. Maybe our gods aren't that powerful. And they converted.
Ian Crossland
And then what, they got paid off by the. The Vatican or something? Did they countries to become Christian?
Aiden Mattis
No, the. The Norse got into Christian territories and basically the Christians went, all right, if you stop worshiping your gods and start worshiping our God, we'll let you trade, we'll let you marry us, we'll let you live in our territories. And a lot of them went, okay.
Ian Crossland
So it sounds a lot like what they're trying to do in Iran.
Aiden Mattis
Norse paganism into Christianity was a pretty peaceful transition. How do we get here?
Phil Labonte
What are they trying to do in Iran?
Ian Crossland
Trying to get you. Hey, if you worship our God and get access to art, liberal economic order, trade, right. We just want to open up your economy. We just want access to all your data.
Anthony Cabasa
I mean, Trump has kind of been saying that, right? Like, like, dude, let's strike A deal so that you guys can become a prosperous country. I don't know if it's under the guise of like worship our God, but.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, you know, being hyperbolic. They didn't say that, but it sounds like that kind of like, hey, join.
Tim Pool
Our, join the liberal world order. I think this is another reason why the liberal economic order wants wokeness. Because if you go to a deeply devout religious, like, you know, Muslim person and say we want to normalize trade with you, to say no, my faith, my life, my rules, say this person is best. But imagine if you went to them and said we're going to give you anything you've ever wanted. Be a hedonist. If they didn't have strong moral convictions and they just wanted to wake up at six in the morning, do drugs and masturbate like what's her face? Much easier to get them under control, say what do you need faith and religion for? Who cares? Take care of yourself, go to the gay club, you know, there's some drugs.
Ian Crossland
If you get people to violate their own beliefs, then you got them like decadence is a huge sin in the Islamic faith. If your family members are decadent, it shines on you as evil and corrupt. So you, you know, it's a big, big. That's a big problem is don't flaunt your wealth so they can get people to become decadent. That would be definitely.
Tim Pool
I think this is why the west is trying to make Palestine gay.
Phil Labonte
Make Palestine gay?
Tim Pool
Yeah, I think, yeah. Like there's this big effort among the woke to associate Islam with being gay. I'm not kidding.
Anthony Cabasa
At least in the West.
Tim Pool
Yeah, in the west. Right, yeah. And we make the joke that like if you go over there they wouldn't accept that. They are trying to force a hedonistic, degenerate reformation on Islam.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I don't, I don't have a whole lot of concern as to that working that.
Tim Pool
I think that's in the west maybe. Yeah, well to be fair, remember what was it, some TV show depicted a Muslim, a female, like Muslim lesbian and it was like a lesbian relationship. And then the woman was like, I'm a Muslim. And then the Muslim community went nuts and they were like, how dare you? And the media was trying to be like be gay, do it. Because imagine how easy it is to control everybody if you're like, you have no convictions, you have no morals, simply pleasure yourself.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, I think.
Tim Pool
And they'd all fall in line.
Phil Labonte
I think Islam has some built in defenses to that which.
Tim Pool
Yeah, well, Christianity should too. But look what's going on in the United States.
Phil Labonte
Christianity doesn't have the same kind of like fundamental belief system though. Like with Islam, if you talk about leaving the religion, you can get killed for that. There's nothing like that in Christianity. So the reason that Islam is so resistant to change is because of their embrace of violence. Right. It's acceptable to use violence when people blaspheme. It's acceptable to use violence if people leave the religion. It's acceptable to use violence when you're. Your daughter embarrasses you or your sister embarrasses you. There's so many killings because of. They ruined their virtue or whatever. So that right there is what prevents any kind of reformation. In Islam, which is something we've talked about before. The reason you can't do it is because the religion itself accepts violence to prevent those things. That's not the case with Christianity.
Ian Crossland
Catholicism, it used to be like that too. Catholicism, like you said about the Cathars earlier, they would stomp out violently any kind of attempted at Reformation just because there exist, just because eventually the Protestantism succeeded. So it could be as such with Islam.
Aiden Mattis
We did do it back to them to be fair.
Phil Labonte
But just because, just because there have been violent Christians doesn't mean the doctrine in Christianity is one that accepts violence.
Aiden Mattis
Jesus Christ never said the only time we're permitted to use violence is in self defense.
Ian Crossland
So the question.
Anthony Cabasa
Spain, right?
Tim Pool
Like, like remember when he said sell your cloak and buy a sword?
Ian Crossland
Yes. The Christian Reformation happened because of the printing press. Basically. As far as I can tell, that.
Aiden Mattis
Was a large part of what kicked it into high geek.
Ian Crossland
New technology allows new thought.
Phil Labonte
The reason that Christianity could have a reformation is because you could entertain ideas in Christianity that you could not entertain in Islam. Right. Like the whole, even like one of the things that Christianity, one of the reasons why science was so like, was so embraced in a lot of Christian in Christian history is because like Christ said, I am the way and the truth. If you find the truth, you'll find me. So people were encouraged to look for things that are true. Not to say this can't be true because it doesn't line up with the thing that I expected God to say. The Christian doctrine says if this is true and it doesn't seem to line up with what Christ said, you misunderstand Christ, you misunderstand because you're the fallible human being. So you don't have the that option in Islam.
Tim Pool
Not Ian, he's not fallible.
Anthony Cabasa
And going back to what you were saying with like, the violence, I think it's, it's easy to leave something when you don't feel like the, the punishment is here now, like, you can live out the rest of your life and you're never going to feel that punishment of like, oh, I left God behind, I don't go to church anymore. Who cares? But if that punishment is here, like you were talking about, like, the violence is already here, like, oh, you're thinking about leaving Islam. Okay, we'll see how it goes for you, buddy. You know, of course it's going to be a lot harder to leave, right? But as far as, you know, the stuff that they were trying to push on the Palestinians and the wokeness and the LGBT stuff that's actually in LA is kind of like a perfect example where for a couple years we had the Muslim community and the Christians coming together because we were pushing back hard on the woke stuff that was happening. And that's really how like the whole school board stuff started, was you had Muslims and Christians coming together and saying, we do not want this stuff for our children. So there's a lot of lawsuits where it names like, you know, Muslims or Christians and they're coming together and like LA county is slowly learning, like, wait a minute, these religious bigots, you know, like, they're, they're starting to unite and it's not good, you know, it's not good that they're, they're working together. But I actually have a really good Muslim following of local leaders in Los Angeles. It kind of took me by surprise because I was like, okay, well, maybe they're just online or whatever, but I remember one time I, I went out to the Inland Empire in California, and me and my cousin went out. I think it was maybe like the 4th of July, like, weekend or something, and we went out. My, my aunt married a Greek and so like, all my cousins are like Greek and Italian and stuff. And so we went out to like this little Middle Eastern, like, meat market. And so, like, you know, you had people from the Middle east there. And as we were checking out a woman, you know, wearing a hijab and like full cloaked and stuff, and she was a Muslim, she tapped me on the shoulder and she's like, are you Anthony Cabasa? And my cousin was like, you're, you're, you're ishing me right now. Like, there's no way this Muslim woman in the middle of nowhere in this market that you've never been to knows who you are. And she's like, hey, Like, I really appreciate the work you're doing and, you know, thanks for standing with Muslims on the school stuff, you know, because you've been reporting it and all that stuff. And so, yeah, it's just, it's interesting in the things that you can find similarities. It's like, hey, let's, let's work together to kind of combat this wokeness. But, yeah, they're not for that at all. Like, you know, I've actually DMed a couple of Muslim audience members and I'm like, hey, how do you feel about, like, these people out there with, like, Palestinian flags? And then now the Palestinian flag is like, with LGBT colors and they're like, yeah, no, no, like, no, that's not us. These are like, like, very woke, you know, liberals that are attending colleges and they have no idea what they're talking about. And actually, last year I covered the, I don't know if you guys remember at ucla, there was those pro Palestine encampments that was happening, and they were kind of heading off like, with like, people that were having the Israeli flags and stuff. And eventually they got kicked out by CHP officers. But when I went into the encampment and I tried interviewing people, I kept asking, are you Palestinian? Are you Palestinian? Are you, do you have family? I, I, I probably asked over a hundred people. There was not anyone there that was from Palestine or even knew anyone from Palestine or had family that were in Palestine. I had one guy tell me I'm from Palestine. So I interviewed him after the interview. He's like, hey, man, I'm high as crap, dude. I'm not Palestinian. I'm Mexican. I'm just like, dude, what the heck? So I'm like, so I didn't even upload the video because I'm like, I couldn't find. But they're all waving Palestinian flags and they're talking about how Palestine this and Palestine that. I couldn't find a single one. It was all like these little anarchists, antifa. You know, you had the party of Socialism Liberation out there. Psl, dsa, Democratic Socialist of America. And like, all the things are like, are you a Marxist? Join the revolution today.
Aiden Mattis
Well, it's all the myth of intersectionality, this idea that all oppressed people of all kinds somehow have something in common to fight for. And it breaks down the second you're doing anything except class.
Anthony Cabasa
It's. Yeah, it's I it in with the Los Angeles. It's very unique because, you know, obviously there's like a big melting pot out there. So you have Like a big Jewish community in, in Los Angeles. And so when I was covering, there's usually a protest, it was, it was being reported like Palestinians versus Jewish, you know, Jewish students and all that stuff. But I'm just like, dude, there's not a single Palestinian out here. They're waving the flags and they have the flags full of LGBT stuff. But I, I didn't meet a single one. You know, it was just.
Phil Labonte
So it's more leftist than, than.
Anthony Cabasa
Well, that's actually, actually what's happening now in downtown la. So like, you know, you have some people saying like, oh, Mexican nationals are out there, there. But then I'm recording and I'm just like, dude, like it's maybe like a couple of them, some of them, you know what I mean? Yeah, there are arresting some illegals, but it's the same factions all over again. It's the same, you see, you know, union people out there, you see psl, dsa, antifa, Black Lives Matter, Los Angeles chapter. They're out there. You've got people, you know, black people on the megaphone and they're like, you know, no justice, no peace, no racist police, you know, whatever. And I'm just like, like, these aren't Mexican nationals, you know. And what's so ironic about everything, if you guys have been to la, you know that we have a lot of street vendors, right? You know what I'm talking about. They sell hot dogs, they sell ice cream, whatever, right? These people are the, the real Mexican nationals are at these protests trying to sell stuff. They're selling, they're selling flags. That's why the flags are all creased in la, because you have these Mexican street vendors selling it to them. And they're like, hey, these are brand new. You want to go wave around the flag?
Tim Pool
Here you go.
Anthony Cabasa
And like, I remember that a couple months ago I was down there and I was talking to this hot dog vendor and I'm like, hey, man, are you not afraid that DHS is right there? And they're like, nah, I don't care.
Aiden Mattis
These guys are Americans. They get it. They're like, I see a great opportunity to do some capitalism right now.
Anthony Cabasa
And so I was just like, man, it was just so bizarre to me because it's like all Mexican nationals. And I'm like, dude, it's antifa. And most of them are like white liberals.
Aiden Mattis
The stereotype of the hard working Mexican is very accurate. They are, they are out there working.
Anthony Cabasa
That is true.
Ian Crossland
You saw Trump said he's not gonna deport illegal immigrants. That are working in the restaurant industry or in the farm, the farming thing.
Anthony Cabasa
Cause that's been happening in California. We've been seeing raids at like, workplaces.
Ian Crossland
I've been thinking that maybe this is a whole other conversation. I know we're going to super chats soon, but like, yeah, yeah. Trying to extract every illegal aspect of our society all at once will cause a house of cards collapse. So I'm kind of down with like, maybe we don't, don't deport Mexicans. Maybe the Mexicans are actually our closest ally, like our left, our left arm. Whereas the Canadians are our right arm and they are the United Mexican States. I mean, it's a bunch of states unified. Like, like, and they had a revolution. Like we had a revolution. They're severely independent. Like, just.
Anthony Cabasa
I do have a quick theory on that. Sorry, I didn't mean to. I have a quick three. So if you guys look up the bracero program during World War II. So during World War II, there were so many Americans being deployed overseas that the United States government came up with a bracero program. And what it did is it allowed for millions of Mexican nationals and Canadian nationals to come and work the fields and work the industries that used to belong to Americans. And so I thought it was really weird that Donald Trump did a 180 and said, actually we need to leave these hard labor guys and keep them here. We need to make sure that they work in the farms, etc. And I'm just thinking to myself, what are the odds that he does a 180? And now he's saying that we need to keep these illegals working in these industries, right? Like the farms and the crops and crop picking, etc. And then just a day or two later we're at, we're at war with Iran now. So I, I don't know, I just kind of like just immediately thought of back of the World War II where there were so many Americans fighting off this war that there were like any Mexican that just walked over, he's like, here's your work permit, here's your work permit. Here's your work. Get out in the field. You know, we need to mass produce. They were put on assembly lines, you know, to create the weapons and send overseas. And so I don't know, there was just like, maybe it's a long stretch. But me, I was just thinking, I'm like, it's just really weird, the timing that he did a 180, because it's like, wait a minute, you said all illegals.
Ian Crossland
You didn't Just say some, they work for their citizenship. Back when you were talking about that.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, so it was like, I think the program lasts like, something like 20 years. And, yeah, they were allowed to become U.S. citizens. Some of them were deported. I think, you know, the, the mainstream media kind of talks about Operation Wetback, where they were deporting, and a lot of those people that they deported were people that came under the work visas. And they say, like, hey, we, we helped mass produce or whatever. Why are you deporting us? But they're like, sorry, got to go back, war's over. You know. But no, I just thought it was very interesting. So who knows? Who knows? I, I, I hope it doesn't escalate to the point where we're sending tens of thousands of troops overseas, but, but I guess we'll see.
Phil Labonte
You know, it's still my sense that we're not going to end up with a lot of boots on the ground over there.
Aiden Mattis
I hope not.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, you know, I know that it's exceedingly unpopular in the United States. Like, you're not going to get a, I, you are not going to get a significant portion of the United States to say, yes, we should send Americans to the Middle east to get into combat.
Ian Crossland
One of the things that bothers me about the rhetoric is when Trump's like, look, they can't have a nuclear weapon weapon. And I think Netanyahu is also like, iranians cannot have. Well, first of all, they can. Just so we're clear, they can. And if they do, there will be consequences. So talk about that, acknowledge that they can, and tell us what might happen if they do, rather than try and be like, daddy said, we can't have ice cream. Look, people are done being told what they can and can't do. So step up, be a leader, explain the threat, and tell us how you're gonna fix it.
Phil Labonte
Well, the point, the whole camp, the point with the cant is they're saying that they will use was forced to prevent it.
Ian Crossland
I, I agree. And if they were clear about that, they're like, we will do. That's one thing. But to tell us they it just can't happen. Like, well, no, it can.
Phil Labonte
I think that's what they're saying. When they're saying can't, I think they're making it clear that they will use force. I think that's what they're trying to communicate.
Ian Crossland
Did you hear Trump say it? It was like, just with this, like, look, just this exasperation, like, we just can't. Okay, dude, we're talking about thermonuclear war. What are you talking. Of course they can.
Phil Labonte
I mean, okay.
Ian Crossland
Anyway, I digress.
Tim Pool
We're gonna go to chats, smash the like button, share the show with literally everyone you know. Maybe you have a friend you haven't seen since. You haven't seen since college. Maybe he's like, Ian. Call him up and say, you should watch this Ian guy. He'd get along with him.
Phil Labonte
He's fun.
Tim Pool
Yeah. We're no uncensored show tonight. It's Friday. But we are going to read your chats. So once again, smash that like button. Let's read what you guys have to say. Shane H. Wilder, always number one, says, happy Father's Day on Sunday to Tim and soon to be Papa Phil. Enjoy it, homies. Also, I'm covering the Texas protest tomorrow, so prayers that ish doesn't go sideways, please. Have a great weekend. It's going to be raining out here, brother. So we are going to have a fun Father's Day. You know, baby. Baby is fat and happy, so that's always, always good.
Phil Labonte
That's all the matters.
Tim Pool
She's been talking.
Ian Crossland
Oh, nice.
Tim Pool
Not saying nothing coherent, but we understand what she's saying. Yeah. Dude, she's babbling.
Ian Crossland
Oh, that's awesome. The tones you can discern.
Anthony Cabasa
Tone.
Tim Pool
Like if somebody awarded fake speak, you know, you can. You can tell the emotions.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah.
Tim Pool
The intent is there. It was understood. Yeah. All right, what do we got? Down graded simpleton says, war is death of people, culture and nation. As the warmongers show themselves, remember who they are. They will be sending your sons and daughters to war. Peace and love. War only feeds the devil. I like.
Aiden Mattis
I like how the Romans did it. They had senators lead the armies. Senators and emperors. I would. I would feel a lot more comfortable if they had to be in harm's way.
Anthony Cabasa
Send Lindsey Graham.
Aiden Mattis
Him first.
Anthony Cabasa
And send Mark Levin. And all these people are saying this is actually a good thing. All right, you and your family, you go first.
Tim Pool
I would love to see. Just imagine, like, a bunch of troops standing on the front line, and Lindsey Graham's in front of all of them giving a rousing speech.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
George Washington used to ride along the front line and encourage the troops as he was getting shot at.
Anthony Cabasa
That.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Aiden Mattis
Like, what happened to that?
Ian Crossland
They'll be putting everyone on the neural net, and then Evan Graham will be speaking in their brain. You got this, you guys.
Anthony Cabasa
You got this.
Tim Pool
Haven't you ever seen the Patriot with Mel Gibson? Oh, yeah, when he's talking to Cornwallis and he's like. Yeah. And he's talking to Cornwallis and he's like. He's like, this. This business of killing officers must stop. And then he's like, so long as your men are killing women and children, I will order my men to kill officers on sight. And he goes, imagine the battlefield with no officers. Chaos. That's why they took him off the battlefield. They were like, let the rabble go at it. We, the men making decisions have to be preserved. Yep. Indeed.
Aiden Mattis
They did not like it when we did that. That's a real thing.
Ian Crossland
I went after officers.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
Because we had rifles so we could actually shoot at them.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Was I gonna say something?
Ian Crossland
The inhumanity of two people. My God. No. Hit the next super chat.
Tim Pool
Pinochet says, what are the chances this is another Bay of Pigs. And Trump will look like he doesn't have control. Just like JFK had to lie and say he knew and take responsibility. Look up jfk. Defeat is an orphan. Yep.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. I don't.
Tim Pool
Everyone. Everybody wants to claim vi. Claim responsibility in the victories, but defeat is an orphan.
Phil Labonte
It's never my fault. Yep.
Anthony Cabasa
I still think that Israel always has to bypass with us. Like, they have to run into it through us. Because I. I just truly feel like Israel can't defend itself. And so, like, even if it's going to attack, it's letting us know. Because I feel like, like, hey, please put your people in position in case they retaliate so big that we need your help. And then that's exactly what happened.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
I think American missiles were defending.
Anthony Cabasa
Right. Yeah.
Ian Crossland
From.
Anthony Cabasa
Exactly.
Ian Crossland
Strikes.
Anthony Cabasa
So they have to. I just. I just don't think Israel is as tough as people make it out to. Like, Ben Shapiro. There's like that side by side. Right. Like, couple years ago, he's like, look, let me tell you, let me tell you. Israel doesn't need America. Israel doesn't need America. And then, like, it goes to today. He's like, here's why America needs to defend Israel.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah. Israel doesn't need us.
Tim Pool
Forgot to say. Okay, gang.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah. I stopped listening to, you know that meme where it's like 2017. He Listening to Ben Shapiro, like, more libertarian. I actually got into politics because of Ben Shapiro. I used to listen to him every single day. And I'm like, man, your debate is great.
Phil Labonte
And.
Anthony Cabasa
And now it's like, I can't tell you the last time I listened to Michigan.
Tim Pool
Is he doing those college debates still?
Aiden Mattis
I don't think so.
Anthony Cabasa
Is he? I don't know.
Tim Pool
So Charlie's. Here's the secret. The secret is always doing college tours. Charlie is blowing up massively. Charlie Kirk, probably the biggest conservative personality, and he's doing college tours. It makes you relevant to be on the ground talking to people. And Ben got really big when he was doing that. And all the YouTube videos popped up saying, ben Shapiro destroys liberals with logic, freaking facts. And that was.
Ian Crossland
It did like a jubilee thing, I think, a year ago or something, or two years ago.
Tim Pool
It was very big.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Tim Pool
I don't know how much he's. He's doing that anymore. The Jordan Peterson one was bad.
Aiden Mattis
That was.
Tim Pool
Did you see Jordan Peterson debates 20 Kermit the Frogs?
Ian Crossland
No.
Phil Labonte
Oh, man.
Tim Pool
Somebody. Somebody made that video, and I watched it, and it was fun.
Ian Crossland
That's awesome.
Phil Labonte
I want to see.
Tim Pool
Kermit was like, are you trying to sound like me, or do you just sound like me? And then he's like, what do you mean, believe?
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, my God. I did a bit on that. Like, do you believe in God? Well, when you ask that question, you got to define, do you believe? And I'm just like, holy stoop.
Tim Pool
What do you mean by do?
Aiden Mattis
We did the same thing on our show on Monday. I was. I asked my buddy, who does a really good impression, I was like, so what do you think about triangles? He was like, well, first you got to describe what a triangle is. What are the metaphysics.
Tim Pool
All right. How many people can you define Do.
Ian Crossland
Do.
Aiden Mattis
Can you.
Anthony Cabasa
I can.
Aiden Mattis
I don't think you can.
Phil Labonte
Do as in, what do you want to do?
Tim Pool
Do you believe? Oh, so because you said, like, you have to define do.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, that's what he said.
Tim Pool
So how do you define do in that context?
Anthony Cabasa
You kick them off your show.
Tim Pool
It's actually interesting because there is this one definition to do something, like the act. The act of performing an action. Do. Oh, so when he says, do you believe? It's saying, are you taking. Are you taking action among yourself? Your. To yourself to believe this thing? Like, is there action among you? To believe? That's what it means.
Anthony Cabasa
That's why his debate with those 20 liberals were. Or the atheists were so terrible, because they're like, well, you're a Christian, right? And it's like, well, that's what you're saying.
Aiden Mattis
Well, can you define Christian? I mean, what are you.
Anthony Cabasa
You should have hit them with one of those. Like, let's break that down. Hold on here a second. Now we can talk about this for an hour. Let's break that sentence.
Aiden Mattis
I mean, it would have helped if they just, you know, like, picked a Christian.
Anthony Cabasa
Right?
Aiden Mattis
That would've been helpful. Wes Huff, Mike Jones.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, anyone.
Aiden Mattis
That's.
Phil Labonte
You should. You should actually believe the philosophy that you're defending in order to defend it properly.
Anthony Cabasa
To me, it just kind of sounded like when, you know, like when they denied Christ three times, you know, like, you will deny me three times. Because he was like. He was asked like, you're a Christian, right? I think. I don't know. I've seen reports that he himself has claimed himself as a Christian, you know, and so it's like, why not just say it? Just say, yes, I am a Christian, but I'm still learning.
Phil Labonte
I don't think he is a Christian. I think that there's an article where.
Anthony Cabasa
He quotes him and he says, I am. I am a Christian.
Tim Pool
See, I think that I never claimed that.
Phil Labonte
I think that's his semantics. Because he. There's one thing to believe the things, right? And then he gets into the semantics of what does the word believe mean?
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, of course.
Phil Labonte
But he says that to act in a way is to believe. Right?
Tim Pool
What do you mean by act?
Phil Labonte
Well, to behave in the world.
Tim Pool
It's just so. It's just so pedantic. It's so. It's like, define the, the. The. The smallest word of your sentence. And it's like, ugh.
Anthony Cabasa
I know.
Aiden Mattis
Honestly, I would have loved to see Jay Dyer on that after just getting roasted myself. I would love to see him do that exact same thing.
Tim Pool
You know what I think? I think for the modern culture wars, the younger generation is more action oriented and more extreme. And so if you're a teenager and you're watching Ben Shapiro say, you know, actually, you're wrong about this, the fifth Ecumenical Council. And then like, you know, whatever, you're going like, oh, wow, this guy's smart. Then you get older and you say, I want someone to do something about it. And Ben's still not changed from who he is, right?
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah. He's so the same person.
Tim Pool
Right. So Ben's still gonna make the similar arguments. And you're like, and I don't mean single out Ben, but literally anybody, me or otherwise, a young person grew up on that, saying, okay, when is anyone gonna do anything about it?
Ian Crossland
It?
Tim Pool
And you're only just getting a bunch of people who keep making the same argument. The younger generation is gonna be more extreme.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Charlie Hanging Hammers.
Anthony Cabasa
Charlie Kirk, I, I think is a good example because I didn't really care for him at the very beginning, but he's kind of started kind of getting along like Amer the. More like America first, you know what I mean? Which I. I'm pretty, like, adamant about that, like, America first kind of America only really, you know, like, let's put our citizens first. We've got so many people here. Let's just worry about us. And he's come around, you know, and, and, and I think it was because of, you know, movements within the Turning Point USA crowd that just kind of like, dude, we, we need to stop. Like, remember when was it? I think he was doing like a cultural thing with Rob Smith. And remember, like, the Catholics came up to saying, like, how does. How does promoting like homosexuality help us win the culture wars? And they just came. Kept showing up. They just kept showing up. These guys in suits, right? They just kept showing up and they had like the rosaries and they just kept asking them over and over again. It got to the point where, like, where's Rob Smith now? He's not like, I haven't seen him in anything. Turning Point usa, you know, so it's.
Aiden Mattis
Let's grab some more guys kicked out of tpusa.
Tim Pool
We got Kieran the meat man. He says, shout to Tate. He was the best fill in yet. Knowledgeable and good presence, but could use some experience, confidence, and maybe some cast brew. Yeah, I woke up up with a sinus infection and. And I was just like, I'm not getting up. I stayed in bed. I watched every episode of Andor Nice. And I. I hate Star wars, but a bunch of people were saying it was good, so I figured I'd watch it. And it's really annoyingly woke, but it's good. No, I thought the first season was bad. It's. It's just like, why is he in jail? What? They were just like, I guess it goes to jail and then he gets mad at the Empire and it's like, okay. And then he was like, while the world is going on, it's like a day and he's already in the prison system and then like escapes it a day later as whatever. Second season's better. A lot better. And there's like, you know. You know what I can't stand about every single show ever right now is they got to put. They got to put gay interracial sex in it.
Phil Labonte
Of course they do.
Ian Crossland
Why Star Wars?
Tim Pool
I don't know why they do it.
Aiden Mattis
So good about it too. There was like, even in the original trilogy, there's such a bare bones, romantic subplot.
Tim Pool
Yeah, right.
Aiden Mattis
That's not what kisses her. I was talking about Han and Leia.
Tim Pool
Oh, but in the first one, sure.
Aiden Mattis
It'S a love triangle, but like, it was. It was there. You know, there was the. The obligatory love triangle and everything.
Tim Pool
Star wars has always been awful. Like, the original ones are. Okay. But like the fact that he. That Luke kissed Leia, that was pretty rough because. Exactly. They didn't write it out.
Ian Crossland
And Darth wasn't his father.
Aiden Mattis
I love George Lucas for that. Absolutely. Based. Start a trilogy. Have no idea where it's gonna end.
Ian Crossland
He wrote a complete package and then it was so successful. He's like, I better write a sequel.
Aiden Mattis
No, he wrote. Yeah, exactly.
Tim Pool
Well, the sequel. The original. The original sequels were gonna. Was. It was supposed to be. I could be wrong about this. It's been a while since I was reading it, but after Return of the Jedi, what George Lucas actually wrote for the nine treatments, like the basically elevator pitches, was that the next series was they cloned Luke and Leia. I think. I think they cloned either Luke and Anakin, but they made an army of Jedi clones.
Aiden Mattis
I think it was Luke and Leia because she's also. That's what they.
Tim Pool
Disney was like, no, no, we're going to change it. And then like, somehow the emperor returned and we were like, what? So cheap, dude. That the Last Jedi is so bad. The worst film I've ever seen. I wanted to walk out of the theater.
Phil Labonte
Yep.
Tim Pool
Plasma arcing in space. And then Ryan Johnson was like, I subverted expectations like. Yeah. With being bad. Because we didn't expect Star wars to be bad.
Aiden Mattis
It was really not good.
Tim Pool
It was terrible.
Phil Labonte
Absolutely.
Tim Pool
Just kill Snoke for no reason.
Aiden Mattis
I was wondering if he'd ever actually seen a Star wars movie. By the end, I don't think he did.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
Which is so weird. Cuz Knives Out's a. A decent movie. Like, it's a fun movie and he's done some good TV directing. He just sucks at Star Wars.
Tim Pool
What did he do? He did. He did Looper.
Anthony Cabasa
Is that what it was?
Aiden Mattis
I think so. I think he also directed a couple episodes of Breaking Bad.
Ian Crossland
Looper was. Was interesting. That was G. Gordon Levitt. Was he in that?
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
And Bruce Willis.
Tim Pool
Gordon Levitt.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. G. Gordon Levitt. I'm thinking of. Of G. Edward Griffin, who wrote the Creature from Jekyll Island. What's up, G. Everd?
Aiden Mattis
What was the one I was thinking of? The Hayden Christensen jumper.
Tim Pool
Yeah, Yeah.
Aiden Mattis
I was mixing those up.
Tim Pool
Let's go. What do we got here? Duke says I voted DJT all three times. Shame on him for Involving us, limited though it is, the only redemption is say not another dime of our tax dollars crosses the border. This is a no brainer. Trump, Trump's pro Israel. We're gonna. I wouldn't be surprised. He puts boots in the round. I wouldn't be surprised. My prediction based on my life is that there's going to be some kind of attack that he's gonna be like, oh, he's gonna say nobody attacks America and gets away with it. And then the MAGA base is gonna be like, we have to do it. And they're gonna, and, and there's gonna be people coming on the show and they're banging, debating. Like, you think that if a nation attacks our people directly that we shouldn't intervene and stop them from doing, oh, dare you. That's going to be the debate.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
I get very concerned with people when Trump's like, we need to do a thing. Everyone's like, of course we need to do thing. And then the next day he's like, we need to stop doing thing. They're like, we need to stop doing the thing.
Tim Pool
Oh, the amnesty thing. Trump's for amnesty now. And it's just like Trump came out and he was like, you know, our farmers are being hurt really badly by this. They got workers, they're good people. They've been here for 25 years. They're not criminals. We're going to, gonna, we're gonna help him out. And then I'm like, well, there he goes. Trump's for amnesty for illegals. And then a bunch of MAGA personalities were like, Trump's right about this, actually. We don't wanna be deporting. Get outta here. Jeez.
Aiden Mattis
Two things can be true at once. The left can be utterly insane about Trump and Trump's base can also be a cult.
Tim Pool
Like Trump has a cult. But the Trump base is not. And that's what's dangerous.
Aiden Mattis
Maybe not the entire base, but there's definitely a cult of personality there.
Tim Pool
Trump has a lot of, there's a, there's a decent percentage of the people who voted for Trump that are. Trump can do no wrong. But what's dangerous for Trump is that the coalition that elects him is a disparate group. I mean, if it weren't for the libertarians voting for Trump, I don't know that Trump would have won.
Phil Labonte
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Because he won by only like what, a couple percentage points?
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Tim Pool
To be fair, I think the libertarians only got like one anyway.
Aiden Mattis
But it's probably Chase Oliver got like 0.05.
Tim Pool
But then what happened to the other two and a half percent?
Aiden Mattis
You went to Trump. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you.
Tim Pool
So bombing Israel. He's not running for reelection, so what does he care, you know? Yeah, but I am. I am not for amnesty. I don't care if you're a farmer. Has been here for 20 years. And Trump is. Because Trump is wrong. Okay.
Aiden Mattis
We could have had Ron Paul. We still have a pretty better.
Tim Pool
I'm pretty sure Ron Paul is for open borders.
Aiden Mattis
I think he was. I don't know if he was totally. He was definitely for a more porous border.
Tim Pool
Yep.
Anthony Cabasa
I know. Isn't that like the Libertarian Party stance is open borders? They came out with like a statement.
Aiden Mattis
Big L. Libertarian Party, I think. Yes. Is open borders. Most libertarians you talk to will not be in favor of.
Anthony Cabasa
The big libertarians will say, those are not real libertarians.
Aiden Mattis
Well, any libertarian will. I'll look at Phil and call him not a real libertarian. And he'll look at me and call me not a real libertarian.
Phil Labonte
Yes.
Anthony Cabasa
Name monarchy.
Tim Pool
All right. Rick Provost says a guy named Iran has been hitting me with a bat. The bat is named Hamas. The idea that the bat is hitting me and not the guy swinging it is silly. I guess a better way to put it is a guy named Iran keeps giving base. Keeps giving baseball bats to this guy named Hamas who keeps smashing up my house and beating my family. And so I was finally like, I saw the guy Iran loading up some rifles and I was like, nah, we're not having this.
Anthony Cabasa
Like you're saying you. You believe that?
Tim Pool
I'm saying his analogy.
Ian Crossland
Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. You could be like, I invited an ax murderer named Iran over. He's going to be staying here for 45 years. Why is the axe murderer attacking? And it's like, well, because you invited him into your freakin house.
Tim Pool
Who invited Iran? Whoever.
Ian Crossland
Whoever oversaw that revolution in 79.
Aiden Mattis
No, we invited a democratically elected leader into the house. And then the Muslims said no to that.
Ian Crossland
On paper.
Aiden Mattis
Well, on paper, they elected the guy.
Ian Crossland
Do you think the CIA would have stopped if they. With what they.
Aiden Mattis
I think the CIA could have stopped the Islamic revolution.
Tim Pool
The CIA has literally never done anything wrong.
Ian Crossland
That's true, too. Which makes my argument fallible.
Anthony Cabasa
And I love you.
Tim Pool
Yes. Money, please. Money, please. I know that I love you.
Ian Crossland
They're intelligent. It's in the name.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Satoshi Nakamoto means central. Was it Central Intelligence Base or something like that?
Ian Crossland
Freakish.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
You know, tell me about this Iranian revolution thing, because I. For a while I said that they had the Shah.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
Who was it before the Shah?
Tim Pool
It was.
Aiden Mattis
No, that was.
Ian Crossland
So the Shah was democratic president for a long time.
Aiden Mattis
The Shah was the, the monarch of Iraq, Iran. Yeah. And then we, we funded a color revolution that deposed him. And then for a little short while, there was a democratically elected pro Western leader who was basically a puppet of the UK and the United States. And then the, the radical Islamists recognized that this was their opportunity and they swept in and just completely converted to the entire country to a very, very, very fundamentalist version of Islam. You know, you had. In the 1970s, if you look at pictures from Iran before the revolution, you've got women wearing miniskirts, you have cars that look like American cars, people playing music in the streets.
Ian Crossland
Job.
Aiden Mattis
You basically cannot differentiate Iran from Italy in these pictures. And then by the end, by the 80s, it is. It's ISIS.
Ian Crossland
The king wouldn't play ball with the liberal economic order.
Aiden Mattis
The king was gone.
Ian Crossland
But before that, we overthrew the king. He was just. Wouldn't, Wouldn't.
Aiden Mattis
No. Iran was a. Iran was a pretty modern state in the 50s.
Ian Crossland
Sorry, Anthony.
Anthony Cabasa
No, I was going to say Iran needs to look at modern day Israel. Have gay parades.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Ian Crossland
This is serious.
Tim Pool
Before.
Ian Crossland
This is before the revolution, man. CIA stick their nose in there and disrupt. Obviously it was a kingdom. And I'm not supporting monarchy as a.
Aiden Mattis
Governmental style, but totally indistinguishable from.
Tim Pool

Tim Pool
Yeah, pretty much.
Aiden Mattis
Just, just an aside. A lot of people don't realize that.
Phil Labonte
Persians.
Tim Pool
What do you mean by white?
Aiden Mattis
I mean they're in Indo Aryan peach. Indo Aryan, Indo Aryan, Indo, European. Yeah, same stock came out of the step.
Tim Pool
Look at this one.
Ian Crossland
Oh, Iran, my people.
Aiden Mattis
Iran had some baddies. Not going to lie.
Ian Crossland
They still do. They're just covered up. Iran, show us your beauty.
Aiden Mattis
The world wants Iran. Show me your toes.
Phil Labonte
Oh, God.
Tim Pool
Commiserate. After seeing all this, I'm now in favor of invading and overthrowing Iran. Baddies got to get let go.
Aiden Mattis
I got him. I got Tim to support invading Iran.
Ian Crossland
Beautiful.
Tim Pool
I got to be honest, like the world. I was saying this when they were like, iran's got a nuclear weapon. I said, they might as well just be saying Iran's funding illegal immigration because that's a substantially more popular issue in the United States. Coming out, being like, they're going to get a nuke. People in America are like, we don't care. India and Pakistan have nukes. We don't care. Trump should have came out and said, all those illegal immigrants, Iran, actually, everyone have been like, what? You know, but, but would the, would.
Phil Labonte
The option be invade Iran? If we blamed it on Iran, what would we do to Iran because of it?
Anthony Cabasa
Nothing. Leave Iran alone. Just let them be. We want nothing to do with it. Just.
Phil Labonte
Well, no, I'm saying hypothetically, if Iran was the reason that we had so many illegal immigrants, how do we punish? Do we just send all the legal immigrants?
Anthony Cabasa
We do what we're doing in Mexico. Just allow them to just keep sending everything in. Whatever they want, drugs they want. Yeah.
Phil Labonte
That's terrible.
Tim Pool
All right, let's grab another chair. We got dishwasher, safe catheter says in keeping with the Tim cast. Tim cast tradition, last night we welcomed our fifth child into the world. Joshua Lucas. Josh, we only keep having babies so we can own the libs. Yeah, having babies to own the libs.
Ian Crossland
Joshua Lucas.
Anthony Cabasa
The only reason we're having babies.
Tim Pool
This is what I do to all my liberal friends when they're like sending me messages about, like, you know, whatever stupid politics is their spine with like, well, I have a child.
Phil Labonte
Send pictures of your daughter.
Tim Pool
Just send a picture of my Daughter, I'm sorry. She will outlast you. She will outlast us both.
Anthony Cabasa
You said something earlier where, like, you said something about, like, Gen Z being more radical or, like, more extreme. I think you said more conservative, dude.
Tim Pool
Not. Not more conservative. They are becoming more conservative, but the younger generation is more likely to call for action, violence or otherwise.
Anthony Cabasa
Interesting.
Tim Pool
Yep. So that. The point being, when Ben Shapiro says, you know, obviously, we need to stop doing this thing or that thing and ban this thing, they're going, okay, I heard you. So who's going to get the hammer and go and do it?
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And so that's what they want to hear.
Anthony Cabasa
No, I know my son. When, you know, we live in LA county and they've gone to public education, so they got to see a lot of stupid stuff. And obviously, as Christians, you know, we. We teach him. We teach them, you know, like, hey, we're not for this. We don't wave these flags. We don't believe this philosophy. We're not into the LGBT stuff, obviously. But, yeah, there was a lot of instances that. That I felt like maybe not radicalize them, but I think it kind of like, opened his eyes to, like, the things that were happening, you know, like, hey, dad, you know, like, we're starting to see, like, furries at school. And I'm like, what the hell is a furry?
Phil Labonte
That's.
Anthony Cabasa
And so he actually had to teach me what a furry was because I'm like, dude, I have.
Ian Crossland
Yeah.
Anthony Cabasa
And. And so he's like, yeah, there's like, these guys that are showing up to school and this is not. And then like. And how do you feel about that? It's like, oh, I've got a group chat and we all just, like, make fun of them and we take pictures and this, that, like, look, man, it's good that you have, like, a group chat or whatever your guys. And. But, you know, I try to teach him. I'm like, look, we don't agree with it, but also, don't let me get a call from school saying you're bullying the furry. You know what I mean?
Tim Pool
Well, but. But hold on. Like, to be fair, the fursuit is. It protects you. So, like, if I was wearing one of those, like, mascot costumes and you hit me in the face, I wouldn't notice.
Aiden Mattis
So before they killed Trevor Moore, he put out a video, a song called called Bullies. And it was about how we. We maybe went too far and we back.
Phil Labonte
Yes.
Aiden Mattis
And as somebody who was mercilessly bullied in middle school, I am all for it. I am a better person for it. I would be so weird if somebody had not been there to correct my behavior.
Tim Pool
I. We talked about this earlier. We were hanging out, talking about how we need bullies.
Aiden Mattis
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And the clarification is bullies that mercilessly beat and steal. No, no, no, no. We're not talking about that.
Aiden Mattis
No.
Tim Pool
But, like, if there's a kid who's deviating in a way that is very, very bad for them, and then someone insults them for that, it's a correcting behavior that exists for a reason.
Ian Crossland
The problem is when society goes insane and you're the only sane one, you'll look crazy and you'll get bullied by all the insane people.
Aiden Mattis
That's what's currently happening.
Phil Labonte
Yeah, that's true.
Anthony Cabasa
I've actually got a perfect exam for you, Tim. So you were talking about how these people are asking themselves, okay, I hear the problem, but what's gonna happen? This actually happened. This is a true story. So my son came home one day and he told me, dad, they just put tampon dispensers in the male bathrooms.
Phil Labonte
Insane.
Anthony Cabasa
And I'm like, okay, well, what's going on? He's like, well, nothing. It's just everyone's, like, making a fuss about it. There's, like, boys that are going in there.
Tim Pool
Did you. Did you pay for the tampons?
Anthony Cabasa
No, they were just free.
Tim Pool
Dude, that'd be the greatest thing.
Ian Crossland
Everyone would take all of them instantly.
Tim Pool
Finish your story.
Anthony Cabasa
Oh, no. Yeah. So here's what happened. So before they were even installed, parents were going to the school board and saying, this is egregious. This is stupid. Why are we doing this? You're going to be confusing. And this is woke ideology. Whatever. So the school board method just didn't work because the school board ended up voting in favor of it. Then it happened. So the next day, he's like, hey, dad. So someone went in there and they destroyed the tampon dispenser. And it kind of like, it just reminded me right now, it's like the parents. We tried the democratic way. We went to the school board and we said, we want these things out. The school board ruled. Nope, we're doing it in favor. So then every single day, they were installing a brand new tampon. Every single day, boys were getting in there and they were kicking the tampon dispenser to curve it so that you couldn't dispense.
Tim Pool
No, no, no, no.
Anthony Cabasa
What are they doing last. After a week and a half, they got rid of the tampon dispenser.
Tim Pool
No, no, no, no. Boys. Oh, man. I was a teenager and I was driving in the car with my friends. We were going skating and one of our friends had gotten like, he had a tampon from his girlfriend that was like in the car or something.
Aiden Mattis
I don't like where the story is.
Tim Pool
So he stuck it in a water bottle and then it expanded and then he whipped it out the window and it splattered on some other person's windshield and we were all laughing. Don't do that. That's really, really bad.
Aiden Mattis
Why would you do that?
Tim Pool
Because a bunch of 16 year old boys are acting up, man. It's not a good thing to do. That could have been really dangerous. Dangerous? Okay. Do not do that. My point is, if I was in high school and they started putting tampon, I'd be like cranking the thing and like, they'd be spraying out and then we'd be. You soak them and swing them and throw them at each other.
Ian Crossland
Yeah, they'd be on the walls.
Anthony Cabasa
Yeah, they, well, they did, they did.
Tim Pool
Get a little string and you swing it.
Anthony Cabasa
They did stuff the toilets and clogged the toilets. Yeah. And so I was telling my son, I'm like, I, I better not get a phone call. You know that you have been partaking like, Dad, I swear it's not me.
Tim Pool
Me.
Anthony Cabasa
I just watched him do it. I'm just like, dude, come on. Like, what is going on here? But no, what are you doing?
Tim Pool
You're supposed to film it while cheering them on. Put on a tick tock.
Anthony Cabasa
No, I, I, it was just insane. I was just like, man. I mean, look, the, the parents tried it the democratic way. We're like, all right, well, I, you know, I guess we got dispensers now. And the boys were like, we're not having any of that.
Aiden Mattis
All right.
Anthony Cabasa
Tampon dispensers.
Tim Pool

Podcast Summary: Timcast IRL – "U.S. Enters Israel Iran War In Defense Of Israel, Deaths CONFIRMED After Iran Strikes w/ Anthony Cabassa & Aidan Mattis"
Release Date: June 14, 2025
Host: Tim Pool
Guests: Anthony Cabassa, Aidan Mattis, Ian Crossland, Phil Labonte
[01:24] Tim Pool:
The episode kicks off with breaking news about the intensification of the Israel-Iran war. Iran has launched a significant counterattack against Israel, firing approximately 100 ballistic missiles and multiple barrages in retaliation to Israel's strikes on its nuclear facilities and missile sites. This escalation marks a critical point as the United States officially enters the conflict to assist Israel in intercepting incoming missiles.
Quote:
"The Israel-Iran war is escalating. Both countries are firing at each other." — Tim Pool [01:24]
[02:00] Tim Pool:
Tim Pool delves into the nuances of the U.S. involvement, highlighting reports that initially suggested the Trump administration was unaware of Israel's plans. However, former President Donald Trump later revealed that the administration had prior knowledge and had engaged in deceptive negotiations to lull Iran into a false sense of security. This revelation has caused a split within the MAGA base, with figures like Tucker Carlson criticizing neoconservative personalities and suggesting Trump was complicit in the deception.
Quote:
"Trump nowadays is being blamed because they've been deceiving Iran into thinking a strike would not happen." — Tim Pool [04:10]
[06:17] Ian Crossland:
Guest Ian Crossland provides historical parallels, comparing Netanyahu's declaration of preemptive strikes to the appeasement strategies of Neville Chamberlain before World War II. He underscores the dangers of allowing a military buildup, suggesting that such actions could lead to devastating consequences if left unchecked.
Quote:
"Netanyahu is likening this to the Nazi buildup before World War II." — Ian Crossland [07:16]
[07:24] Phil Labonte:
Phil Labonte questions the plausibility of Iran using nuclear weapons, arguing that the global repercussions and potential U.S. intervention would outweigh any benefits for Iran. He emphasizes that Iran's pursuit of nuclear capability is likely aimed at regime destabilization rather than mere deterrence.
Quote:
"I don't think Iran actually wants it specifically so they can use it to essentially set in motion the destruction of the Iranian regime." — Phil Labonte [08:24]
[09:34] Anthony Cabassa:
Anthony Cabassa raises concerns about misinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding the conflict. He references Tucker Carlson's interview, which downplays threats from Iran and China, instead highlighting issues like border security with Mexico as the more immediate dangers to the U.S.
Quote:
"Our threats are sometimes our neighbors, like Mexico has killed more Americans than Iran probably has in the last few decades." — Anthony Cabassa [09:34]
[16:20] Phil Labonte:
Phil Labonte discusses the potential for miscalculations leading to broader conflict. He cites the disproportionate impact of Iran's actions compared to domestic issues, questioning the necessity of U.S. military involvement and skepticism about escalating the conflict.
Quote:
"I don't believe that this is going to expand into a broader war." — Phil Labonte [66:02]
[47:01] Tim Pool:
Tim Pool speculates on the possibility of internal threats amid the external conflict, suggesting that large-scale protests and limited military resources could create vulnerabilities for false flag operations or attacks by Iranian-backed actors within the U.S.
Quote:
"This is a perfect opportunity for our enemies." — Tim Pool [47:01]
[97:44] Anthony Cabassa:
The discussion shifts to domestic policies, particularly immigration. Anthony reflects on historical programs like the Bracero Program during WWII, drawing parallels to current debates on border security and the influx of immigrants, some of whom may pose security threats.
Quote:
"Operation Wetback was where we deported people who came under work visas; now Trump is reversing some of those policies." — Anthony Cabassa [97:44]
[71:08] Aiden Mattis:
Aiden Mattis delves into the religious divisions between Shia and Sunni Islam, highlighting how these sectarian tensions exacerbate the conflict. He emphasizes the rigid theological stances that prevent internal reform movements within Iran, making diplomatic resolutions more challenging.
Quote:
"Shias are more radical and deeply religious, preventing any significant reform." — Aiden Mattis [71:08]
[35:45] Ian Crossland:
Ian Crossland critiques the Liberal World Order, arguing that the U.S. has established itself as the enforcer of global economic and political norms. He contends that this hegemonic position has necessitated military interventions to maintain order, often at the expense of global stability.
Quote:
"The U.S. is the military, the militant arm of the liberal economic order." — Ian Crossland [35:45]
[66:40] Anthony Cabassa:
Anthony shares a personal narrative about veterans feeling disillusioned with ongoing conflicts, particularly highlighting fears for his son who is enlisting in the Air Force amidst rising tensions. He voices concerns about the cyclical nature of wars and their impact on families.
Quote:
"I just don't think that's a legitimate reason to enter a new conflict in the Middle East. One day my son will call me and be like, 'Dad, I'm getting deployed to the Middle East.'" — Anthony Cabassa [70:58]
[101:17] Tim Pool:
Towards the end, Tim Pool addresses the audience, encouraging engagement through social media and highlighting the importance of staying informed amid escalating global tensions. He reiterates the show's commitment to uncensored discussions on controversial issues.
Quote:
"Make sure you smash that like button. Share the show with literally everyone you know." — Tim Pool [105:04]
U.S. Involvement: The U.S. has officially entered the Israel-Iran conflict, aiding in missile interception and positioning itself as a key player in the escalating war.

Historical Parallels: Comparisons to pre-WWII appeasement strategies highlight the potential dangers of unchecked military buildups and preemptive strikes.
Media and Misinformation: Concerns about false narratives and conspiracy theories suggest that public perception may be manipulated to justify further military action.
Domestic Impact: Issues like immigration and border security are intertwined with foreign conflicts, raising questions about the true priorities of U.S. policies.
Religious Tensions: Deep-seated sectarian divisions within Islam complicate diplomatic efforts, making peaceful resolutions more elusive.
Liberal World Order Critique: The podcast hosts argue that the U.S.'s role as the enforcer of global norms has led to frequent military interventions, potentially destabilizing international relations.
Personal Narratives: Stories from veterans and families underline the human cost of ongoing and potential future conflicts, emphasizing the need for thoughtful policy decisions.
"We knew everything and I tried to save Iran humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to see a deal worked out." — Donald Trump (as referenced by Tim Pool) [04:25]
"Iran is threatening retaliation because the U.S. is defending Israel and supplying them with weapons." — Tim Pool [04:30]
"We are the militant arm of the liberal economic order." — Ian Crossland [35:45]
"The real divide is between those who casually encourage violence and those who seek to prevent it, between warmongers and peacemakers." — Tucker Carlson (as referenced by Tim Pool) [64:15]
"I'm a U.S. veteran... I have a lot of questions about 9/11 and now here I am again, causing another war in the Middle East." — Anthony Cabassa [17:07]
