Pan Bondi has announced an arrest has been made of one of these leftists.
This individual apparently threw a Molotov cocktail into a Tesla showroom, which is crazy
because I'm not sure we got that initial report.
Two more prominent Trump supporters were swatted today in the wee hours of the morning.
So it certainly seems like, yes, these things are continuing or escalating.
Kash Patel, director of the FBI based, issued a statement saying we're aware and we are going to go after these people full force.
So I look forward to some real justice in this country.
It's going to be hard, though, because you got people like Bill Burr calling for more violence, or I should say, to be to be fair, advocating for those who murder.
We'll put it that way. And saying they should be freed when he yelled free Luigi for a second time
and went on, went on, I think it was in the Breakfast Club where he said if this country
was run his way, he'd shut down Fox News, CNN and banned people from commenting on the Internet.
I get the point he's trying to make. But this dude supports murder. Like it is insane with the point where this guy is like. Outright supporting murderers and saying people shouldn't
be allowed to have speech and discuss these things. That's where the typical left tends to
fall. Understand, Bilber is not one of these guys in the street throwing Molotov cocktails.
He is a prominent mainstream celebrity. So when we say things like the left is violent,
it's not because we think literally every liberal is violent. It's because prominent
personalities of liberal persuasion are calling for it, defending or advocating for it while
people on the ground do it. You don't have that thing on the right. We got a couple of the really
big stories that are funny. A Democratic congressman, he was a Democrat, right? I want to make sure I got that one right. Attacked Doge from beyond
the grave. That's right. Somehow, despite the fact that he was dead, he posted this screed on
social media. Shocking how those things can happen. Perhaps our politicians aren't really
our politicians. And then probably my we got a couple
other fun stories. How about this one? CNN had dead air for about a minute because the network
is so trashed. They didn't realize they were broadcasting for a minute with no sound. That
one isn't really the biggest story, but it's kind of funny. And Anonymous has taken responsibility
for taking down Snapchat and X and liberals are questioning Anonymous. I just want everyone to
know there is no such group as Anonymous. It does not exist. And the fact that liberals think a
random video uploaded to TikTok, in fact, is a declaration from a hacker organization to take
down global infrastructure shows exactly the kind of people they are and how much they actually pay
attention to the news. So we'll talk about all this before we get started, my friends. We're going to go to
our great sponsor. It is Tax Network USA. Shout out TNUSA.com slash Tim. The IRS is the largest

Should be fun.
Brett is hanging out.
Guys, it is Brett.
Pop Culture Crisis, normally Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.
You should go subscribe over there as well.
But let's get into it tonight.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Phil Labonte.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.
I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.
Let's go.
Here's the story. We have this tweet from Nick Sorter. Breaking, Pam Bondi announces
an arrest has been made for throwing a Molotov cocktail into a Tesla showroom. Let's roll the
clip. This is from Fox Business earlier. We have people were locking up on that. We have someone
in jail right now from one of the dealerships. They threw a Molotov cocktail through a dealership.
They're looking at up to 20 years in prison.
So if you're going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch
out because we're coming after you.
And if you're funding this, we're coming after you.
We're going to find out who you are.
Wow.
There's a lot of the framing that, like the administration is doing things that I like and I agree with,
but their messaging is just garbage sometimes.
Like, this isn't about Tesla.
Tesla is the target.
But the reason these people are getting arrested is because it's actual terrorism,
not because, oh, you're going after Tesla.
It should be because you're engaging in terrorism.
The point is to make people afraid of either buying Tesla and it's because of Musk's work.
It's actually the point is to make people afraid of supporting Elon Musk's work and Doge's work.
So you think like that's the whole point.
So you think that her messaging here was actually poorly phrased?
Yes, I think. And they're also this might be a topic they talk about later.
But the whole the guy that's being sent back the I think he's a Palestinianestinian activist and stuff like that yeah like all of this stuff it's like oh blah blah
blah it's anti-semitism in there he's attacking the jews and blah blah it's like that's not good
enough reason to send someone back he's actually broken the law that's why he's getting sent back
because he's taken over uh places on on college being like, oh, well, he said something anti-Semitic.
You can be anti-Semitic in America, and that's legal.
That's perfectly fine.
But it's like he's anti-West.
He's totally against American-
Bring it down to a simmer.
And then maybe be like, all right.
Oh, what the hell?
I love it.
That happens.
Twitter does that.
Does that all the time.
We'll mute the whole of Twitter.
It'll always happen at like the most important point of your inflection too.
Yes.
And this is the most important thing.
And then Bill Burr comes on saying stupid-ish.
Stupid Bill.
Stupid Bill.
I mean, that's the point is their messaging sucks.
And I don't know if it's that they're trying to placate certain groups or whatever.
But it's like, look, you can't just throw people in jail because they don't like israel or because they're they're
saying anti-semitic things you can't throw people in jail because they don't like tesla if you fire
bomb a place if you're maybe you're making like for 20 years you can go to jail for for actual
terrorism so they're doing substantial things that are okay
and right but their messaging about it is just trash and it they're capitalizing on the fact
that for the past 40 years with the department of education we haven't been educating kids so that
way when they do their messaging it has to be dumbed down just to an extent that nobody actually
knows that this is terrorism uh a lot of it is also is like what headline is going to grab them the biggest headline for a lot of this stuff.
And typical crime headlines aren't going to grab the same type of attention that stuff related to anti-Semitism and things like that are.
I don't think they do.
But terrorism does.
I mean, even then, I don't I don't know if that's necessarily going to grab the same headlines.
People love arguing about wedge issues in identity politics more than just talking about terrorism.
Maybe you're right, but I hate it.
I'm with you.
Take that a step further. We spent the last four years
where places like California and New York,
if you shoplifted, which
has always been a crime, right?
Where you shoplift and it's under $1,000,
we don't care.
At what point did the laws
not matter to where we can dumb
everything down like this was this the case was the case you're talking about the one
at columbia where they were talking about revoking uh diplomas well he got yeah he got wrapped up by
the uh by the feds yeah or the and they're they're articulating it poorly they're saying
you're you're gonna get you can't be anti-Semitic on school campuses and blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, look,
that stuff is protected by the First Amendment, right?
And the First Amendment doesn't protect,
the First Amendment is a limit
on what the government is allowed to do.
So it's not like, oh, you know,
it's to protect people's free speech.
It's saying, look,
the federal government can't take action against you
because you have an opinion that's unpopular.
That's the point.
I'm going to pause you.
Say that one more time, because I think this is something a lot of people don't also don't understand.
It's a limit on what?
It's a limit on the federal government.
That's the whole Bill of Rights is, you know, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment.
Like it's all things the government is specifically, specifically prohibited from doing. And you could say that given her messaging here,
it actually is horrible,
given that a lot of people feel that
Trump and Elon Musk's connection
is too extensive to begin with.
So framing it as we're coming after you
because you're hurting a Tesla dealership
rather than the fact that you're just
committing crimes in general
actually sends the wrong message
to the people that are already against you.
You know, how would the Trump administration do better?
Right. Pam Bondi is Pam Bondi.
She's going to issue statements.
Should she be giving the press release to a more savvy communicator?
Meaning like influencers to put out through social media?
Yes. People who can articulate it better than that.
I mean, most of the time,
I feel like it comes back to what the headline ends up being for most of this stuff anyways.
So the hard truth is,
is that when you're in media,
you go out of your way a lot of times
to find a very, very heavy headline
that is then articulated with more nuance
in the actual article or the point of discussion.
And whatever grabs headlines the most, when you're a media company, you're at the point of discussion and whatever grabs headlines the
most when you're a media company you're at the the whim of needing to make money off of your
headlines and sometimes that does a disservice to the actual discussion i don't think that it's her
ability to articulate the idea because i think that she's in she's articulating what she wants to
the message that she wants to get across well i to, the message that she wants to get across
well. I think that the message
that they decided to push
forward, to put to the front
is a bad message. So somebody should have been there
to correct her.
Specifically on Tesla.
On Tesla and on the
Hamas sympathizer guy. I'm all
for kicking that dude out. If you don't
love America and you come here and you got a green card and you're going to
hate the country and you want to help destroy Western society, beat it.
I have no problem with that. But there's legal channels.
I mean, if she wants to reach out and contract me for that service,
I mean, I'll be happy to say the quiet part out loud for him.
That's very kind of you. But I mean, again, I happy to say the quiet part out loud for him. That's very kind of you.
But I mean, I again, I don't think that the problem is is the policy.
It's it's all the messaging.
I think I don't think any of it matters.
We did the culture war this morning with a pro and anti Doge fellers.
And I'm just like.
The left has wielded unchecked power.
Here's an example for you.
Jenna Ellis being criminally charged with racketeering in Georgia.
She's a lawyer.
She was representing a client.
Imagine if a guy like robs a liquor store and then gets arrested for it and then is like, I'm going to go get a lawyer.
So he gets a lawyer and then the police arrest the lawyer for aiding and abetting a criminal. That's what they did with Jenna Ellis. That's how psychotic the
left was. The liberals were. It doesn't matter what Pam Bondi says. She could say Donald Trump
is going to go out personally with a rifle and defend Tesla dealerships. And we're like she
could say we're deploying the National Guard. It doesn't
matter. The left is going to keep doing what they do no matter what. They're going to attack
different locations. They will escalate. I mean, I already I already elected him once.
You don't need to sell me on it. Donald Trump's going to go march down Fifth Avenue himself to
protect the streets and small businesses. The left would love that, actually. But in all seriousness, whatever the message is, the left doesn't care because they know.
And it's fascinating to me that it's actually the right that doesn't seem to get this.
My point is, when we were having this debate in the morning on Doge,
you have a guy who's like, Elon Musk is a threat to our democracy because he's going in and they're firing people and it's not allowed.
And I'm just like, bro, if you really want to play the game of what's a threat to our democracy, the list of what the left did over the past four years is so long that it's almost, almost a CVS receipt.
Oh, my goodness.
At this point, though, theS receipt. Oh, my goodness.
At this point, though, the Constitution is a threat to their democracy.
Indeed.
And most of the time when you see this stuff come up,
they take advantage of the ignorance of the average everyday person who falls under, like, default liberal belief systems
where maybe they're not politically inclined,
but, you know, they've been living in America,
which has been, for the most part,
becoming increasingly liberal over the last 20 years,
or at least it seems that way,
laid into Obama's terms.
And they take advantage of the fact that
if you ask them right now,
who is more likely to commit acts of political violence,
they would tell you right-wing people all the time,
even though we understand that that is obviously not the truth.
Indeed, I think we're headed towards a civil war.
Shocking.
I wanted to make sure I got the buzzwords in as quickly as possible because it's 16
minutes and I felt like, you know, you ask the question, get people drunk, too.
You said you don't Friday night.
Let's go.
You said, like, you don't think it matters because they know anyways.
Right. And then that's the type of thing where Mary said on the show today go. You said like, you don't think it matters because they know anyways. Right.
And then that's the type of thing where Mary said on the show today,
like we were like,
she's like,
why are you trying to put logic onto something that has no logic behind it?
And that's actually a lot of people in this space.
Maybe it's because you're constantly putting your ideas out there and you're
kind of wrestling with them on air,
that it's your job in a way to try and bring logic to something that may not
have anything to it.
But I want you all to imagine a podcast where Phil Labonte is sitting in a way to try and bring logic to something that may not have anything to it. I want you all to imagine a podcast where Phil Labonte is sitting in a chair and across
from him is a vampire and a zombie.
And the vampire is going, I'm going to drink people's blood no matter what.
And then Phil's like, but you shouldn't do that.
That violates the Constitution.
And he's like, sure.
And then the zombie goes, that's what it is. That's what we're doing.
The zombie is going to do its thing.
You're never convincing it. And the vampire's like,
bro, this is what I am, and this is
what I want. There's not arguing
with the impulse of the vampire.
So I hope that was enjoyable
for all of you. The Democrats are either
vampires or zombies.
I think to be fair, I mean, that was
probably poor. I didn't want to get too esoteric with it, but I'll put it this way.
The Democrats are more like there's liches and they're undead servants. And so the liches
raise the zombies up and are conscious but evil.
But there's few of them and they have a lot of zombies you can't argue with.
So you're talking about a new video game idea, right?
Yes.
There you go.
And it's Donald Trump fighting the Lich King.
And it's Joe Biden.
That'd be so good.
Joe Biden would definitely be an undead king.
And Trinidad Shabbat of Pressure is the spell where he raised, Trinidad Shabbat of Pressure!
And then all the zombies come out of the ground.
Perfect.
But what I mean is when I get silly with it is when you're talking to these Democrat personalities that are like,
Elon Musk is a threat to our democracy.
Trump was found guilty, liable of rape or whatever.
It's like, bro, I know you know that's BS.
It's like, you know that New York didn't have any evidence and you would never in any other circumstance take a 30-year-old allegation with no evidence and claim it was true.
But because it's Trump, you do.
Why are we arguing with someone who is willing to go to that extent?
Let's just pause there.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden helped raise money for the defense of rioters in the 2020 riots where 30 plus people were murdered.
There are, I shouldn't say murdered, 30 plus people died.
I think like 20 some odd murders.
You had firebombing of the White House grounds.
You had firebombing of St. John's Church.
D.C. was ablaze and Democrats know and do not care.
And Republicans keep going like, why don't we warn them, bro? If Pam Bondi comes out and she goes,
we will use all force necessary in order to defend Tesla dealerships and small businesses.
The left is not going to care. Yeah, they don't.
They destroyed.
So in Minnesota, where I'm from, I watched businesses get burnt down and then put up
signs complaining about getting burned down, despite the fact that they were part of the
very system for all of the places that ended up causing that to happen.
One of the things that was happening is graffiti was being done on all of the businesses in Uptown.
And the city would come in and say, if you don't cover up the graffiti yourself, we are going to come in and do it for you.
And it's going to cost you $700.
Like, we're going to tax you to do that.
And all of them put up signs saying, basically, please don't.
Please don't.
Graffiti our building.
We can't afford to pay it.
The problem is, is all of those
same people voted for exactly what they were getting in that area and you can't convince
them otherwise they don't understand or they're just not intelligent enough to see the well i mean
they they're voting they're not voting for those things they're voting to allow those things well
yeah that's that's what i'm saying they're they're voting to allow those things. That's what I'm saying. They're voting to put themselves in that position.
But the point that I'm making is when they're
actually casting their vote, that's not
what they're thinking about.

Obviously.
They're not thinking,
oh, I want to have a DA
or I want this local government
to not prosecute crime.
It's just crazy to me that the more times you go,
as many times as you can go through it,
that it doesn't cross your mind
the next time you go to the ballot box.
It has to be tangible for people. It has to be personal. It has to be it has to be something
that actually hurts them individually. And it has to be recent. Let's jump to this next story.
We have a tweet from Cat Turd. You heard it. His name is Cat Turd. Cat Turd, for those who don't
know, he's a very prominent Trump supporter, despite his silly name. He has three point six
million followers. He tweeted, I was just swatted
again for the fourth time. As I tweeted earlier, I live in the middle of nowhere and know all the
cops here. They knew what it was immediately and just called me and sent one officer who had a
great conversation with really nice guy. I have the number they called from and will turn all the
info over to the FBI today. My two swatters are sitting in prison. My last two swatters are
sitting in prison right now. This new one will be joining them soon.
Oh, yeah, never shutting up.
And this doesn't faze me one bit.
We also have this from Mike Engelman, who said at five in the morning, good morning,
everyone.
Imagine my shocked face when I woke was woken up at 1.30 a.m. by law enforcement standing
in front of my home, locked and loaded for a swatting attempt.
I'm a nobody living in a sleepy community of 2,800 people, sleepless night in southern
Indiana.
Sheriff Department and state police arrived at my home a little after 1.30 a.m. this morning.
They rang the doorbell, started my Wi-Fi, got up, went to the door, saw someone on my front porch,
turned the outside lights on and noticed county sheriff deputies and state police locked and loaded.
A 911 caller with an 869 area code reported that I was holding people hostage at gunpoint in my house
and that he had shot, he says, shot and killed his daughter who was upstairs. The weird thing was the 911 caller was still on the line with
dispatch providing false information while the cops, with the cops, as they were talking to me.
We don't have an upstairs. My daughter hasn't lived here in over 20 years. Once assured everything
was fine, I said, this is what they call swatting. Explained it to them. They asked if I had any idea
who would do this. And I said, no.
Did inform them that it's happening all over America.
I asked them to please find out who it was.
I was assured they would.
Well, I'm sorry, they can't.
It took a bit to calm my wife down.
She has a heart condition, but it's all good now.
Godspeed.
I have a great relationship with local law enforcement in the area.
And I know all the cops.
Needless to say, I didn't sleep at all afterwards.
I kept wondering who would do this to a small, sleepy community.
Well, good, sir. You have got 220,000 followers on X. That's why.
Kash Patel, FBI director, tweeted this this morning.
I want to address the alarming rise of swatting incidents targeting media figures.
The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable. This isn't about politics. Weaponizing law enforcement against any American is not only
morally reprehensible, but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not
be tolerated. We are fully committed to working with local law enforcement to crack down on these
crimes. More updates to come. The reason why I say they can't is that most of the time, I'll put it this way.
There was a swatter who was arrested.
Jeremy from the Quartering said they got my swatter.
I had journalists tell me, Tim, that was your swatter.
I say, that's not true.
I believe the man they arrested was essentially a hit man.
That is, people who wanted a swatting done would outsource it to an individual, provide
the information, he would make the phone call. So that technically makes him the swatter, but it mostly makes him
just the hatchet man. I want to know who provided the information and directed him to do it.
Taking that, stopping that guy does not stop the harassment at all. So when people, it may be
that someone was stupid enough to do this wave of swattings across the country with their own phone number.
Really doubt it.
They could easily in many ways get phone numbers.
And the worst thing is it could be AI voices generated from apps and people are doing it overseas.
So it is very, very difficult to find out who is doing this.
I think they will find some of these people.
But like I mentioned, the people they arrest
aren't actually the core individual's privacy information for the most part.
So we shall see.
We shall see.
But, um, I'm glad everyone is okay.
I think that with the wave of videos we've seen on social media, TikTok, X, uh, wherever,
not so much X, where these people are just screaming, do it over and over again.
And it is implied everybody following them knows what it means. Look, it's one thing when one guy
goes online and says, I'm going to or someone should do thing, right? The police go and arrest
them or the person gets banned. What we have now is a zeitgeist. It is a trend. It is the modern leftist culture. It is the liberal
establishment. I'm not talking about politicians. I'm saying in the core of liberal social orthodoxy
right now, the viral trend is calling for terrorist action and assassinations.
Now we're seeing these swattings. I believe these swattings are an outpouring of you've got tens of millions or hundreds
of millions of views already on people posting videos screaming, do it and things like that.
Or people like Bill Burr saying, let me tell you about Bill Burr and then we'll get into
this in a second.
Bill Burr said people should do bad thing to insert individuals.
He then said free Luigi.
He is advocating for two millions of people. And you need to understand
Bill Burr is not a random Twitter personality, a random social media guy whose name is dog fart.
He is a high profile liberal comedian on primetime television shows and some of the world's largest
podcasts. He represents your average liberal, not leftist progressive. And he's calling for murder explicitly.
Bill Burr explicitly called for murder and assassination.
I'm not kidding.
Now you are seeing the lowest tier of this.
I said it yesterday.
I said it the day before.
This summer is going to be messed up.
So everyone, please take your security seriously.
Yeah, I mean, everyone should obviously take their security seriously i i think that you know
again it the problem that arises when it comes to this kind of swatting stuff is
you're not going to defend yourself against the police you that that leads to you getting
killed that's all there is to it like you're not gonna you know you're not that's not the issue at
all the issue is you need to if you are at high risk, if you are a media personality with a degree of following followers, you call the local police department and say, I hope I want to make you guys aware.
There's a series of swattings that are happening across the country, presumably coming from left aligned and liberal aligned individuals that have been calling for murder and death.
They may call you with false reports regarding me, etc. This is the first thing you do. And you look, this guy, Mike, has a couple
hundred thousand followers, not nothing. But it's not like he's captured with three point six.
Right there. They are targeting a lot of people. That is the purpose of terrorism.
I remember when we had these big terror alerts back in the 2000s, not that I believe the Bush administration, but they mentioned that the
high alerts were for rural and small towns because terrorists want to target not big areas, small
areas, because they want people that when it comes to terror, when it comes to the left,
the reason why during the summer of love, they went to small towns is because if they stay in big cities, people who live in small towns feel safe.
They feel like if I get away from the cities, I'll be safe.
So the far left extremists explicitly went to small towns, smashed up windows and businesses and things like this.
I don't know how much of that was just more of emergent outpouring versus organization. My point is simply, if you have a small amount of followers relative to other people, they may target you because they want everyone on the right to be terrified.
Well, yeah, the whole point of terrorism in that respect is you get people to change their behaviors.
And if somebody says, look, I've got this many thousand followers and I've got this thing to say and something like this happens, they may think twice before posting something at some point.
And that's a very, very easy way to get somebody to change their behavior, change their habits.
Well, I think summer is going to get hot.
And we went through that.
I mean, we went through this at the old location. Oh, like it was literally the first the first time it happened.
I was literally walking back inside and then we had guns on us.
Me and Andy back then.
Oh, yeah, that's right you and andy the cops
pointed guns at you and then you were like what did you do like you walked forth your hands up
or something oh yeah and uh and as soon as we talked to them we knew exactly what it was because
we know what swatting is they didn't understand this this is right it was it was kind of funny
though because if you swat some dude at his house this this is what happens. They get a megaphone.
They're at the house.
Come out with your hands up.
The people come out backwards.
They walk backwards.
When we got swatted the first time,
it's a 10,000 square foot building
on top of a hill
with employees walking around doing things.
And the cops pull up and they're like,
what are all these guys walking around doing?
Well, yeah.
What did he do?
He had his gun out of the car or something, right?
Yeah, they were, I mean,
over the hang of the door.
Wait, the door was open?
Yeah.
And me and Andrew were like, what the hell is going on?
Wow.
And then what did he tell you to do?
We walked towards him very slowly.
With your hands up?
Yeah, and as soon as he started explaining to us what was going on,
I was like, okay, they're upstairs doing a show right now,
and this is not real, but what do you even do?
That was before we had armed security. Right, and now we do. upstairs doing a show right now and this is not real but what do you even do like at that that
was um before we had armed security right and now we do yes and they have guns um and uh i that we
there's a series of things you can do to mitigate swattings that i won't say publicly because for
obvious reasons you don't want to upend secure uh upend your security one thing i have no problem saying though is you are largely swat proof if you if you are hiring a private security company
most people can't do that it's ridiculously expensive they're not they're not targeting
people who are at a large compound with tons of employees who have armed security on the
premise all of these people have something in common I was at home in a small town with my wife and kids. And again, like I said before, a lot of these people wield incredible
influence. But if you target them at home where their loved ones are at risk, it makes people who
are doing this for a living think twice about saying what they mean. And that is the definition
of terrorism. Indeed, indeed. When they first swatted us, again, like, you know, it was Brett and Andy were outside and they walked towards the car.
But weren't you skating or you guys were skating?
We just got done skating.
So we were at the, I mean, people might not know what the geography is, but there was the barn park that was off site, like next door.
So I was walking back inside.
So there's the main building, which is about 10,000 square feet.
It's a main building, which is about 10,000 square feet. It's a massive building. And when you walk up, you can see it.
And then straight to the right is a 70-foot wide pole barn with skate ramps in it.
And then the whole parking lot had – I don't know if at the time we had this.
We might have had the garden.
It might have still been the mini chicken coop at the top.
I don't know.
And there was a garden there.
Actually, no. No, I don't think – no it didn't it didn't it had the we had concreted already okay yeah we did do the concrete because i remember when the bomb squad showed up
with the the machines it was all open space and uh so we have ramps out there too so you could
be skating the whole parking lot like for us what saved the show from having the door kicked in
is that we have
employees.
So when they show up,
it's Brett and Andy standing there being like,
what's going on.
And the cops were probably confused because the calls they do for
swatting,
I think it was a hostage thing.
And they're like,
there's two guys just standing outside,
like chilling.
Like imagine me any other time.
My headphones are in both ears.
They're like,
what's I'm like,
what?
No idea what's going on right now.
Just got very lucky that time.
That could,
I mean,
and then there was chair cast not that long after that when there actually was the event.
Yeah, I think that was the last swatting.
Yeah.
Where I don't want to – so let me put it this way.
We largely mitigate potential swattings.
What happens now usually is the cops do perimeter sweeps because it happens so many times.
And our security
guards just send us a notice so it happens we don't talk about it anymore and so it'll be like
heads up we got swatted again and it's just literally at this point it means nothing to us
and it encourages it if you keep talking about it public at this point it doesn't matter though
because it interrupts the show it does it can't anymore no no i'm saying that it encourages people
if it interrupts the show yeah yeah so when It can't anymore. No, no, I'm saying that it encourages people if it interrupts the show.
Yeah, so when you have a private security company, you can't be swatted.
Because the police work with private security contractors, and they know who they are, and they have direct lines of communication.
So if any one of these guys, like Cat Turd, at his house, had I'm like, just put it this way.
A lot of these guys are off duty cops or, or, or retired cops.
And they have direct lines to the police.
They're literally, they go to the same poker games.
So when someone tries to swat you, they just say, like, you get a phone call and they're like, I'm at this address doing this thing.
They go, oh yeah, Jim works there.
He's there right now.
I actually dropped him off.
Nice try, buddy.
That makes no sense so for for everybody else they're going after they're clearly targeting small homes and that's why they went after nick sorter's family
yeah well yeah that's just it so like i understand for podcasts this size or cat turd or even
mike engelman there they have a following. For someone like myself, I have a couple thousand people following me,
and yes, that could still happen to me.
So that is a concern when I'm hearing these stories.
At what point do I look at different ways to secure myself within my means?
That's why I was saying that the first thing you should do is call your local police department and say,
hey, I have a small following
with the wave of swattings going on.
I wanted to make, like, come in.
You know, what we did was
before, when we were in New Jersey,
and before, this is like the early days,
this is actually before TimCast IRL.
So this is a fascinating bit of TimCast history.
Before the launch of TimCast IRL, the Tim Pool Daily Show in the mornings was the 34th biggest podcast in the world.
It is nowhere near that anymore because when we launched IRL, it sort of everybody moved over.
I guess that's how it happens. And we reduced volume. But at the time, I went to the police
station, which hilariously was one block from my house. And I
just said, hey, my name is Tim. I've got a couple million followers. Wanted you guys know that I
live down the street. Here's my address. In the event of any swatting, here's my cell number.
Literally, it's me, a roommate. We make YouTube videos. If anyone calls about family, wife,
hostage is not real. And they were like, we get it.
We know what swattings are.
And never had a problem.
When we first moved to the castle,
we did the same thing.
We didn't go and show up though.
After we got swatted,
we were like, time to hire private security.
We actually had a guy break into the house too.
Like I say break in,
it is burglary,
but he didn't break anything.
He walked in the building and, yeah, was not allowed to.
He bypassed a barrier and a bunch of other stuff.
Yeah, policies changed after that.
Policies then became much more secure.
And now we have a perimeter barrier and guys with rifles.
I mean, that was crazy because that was like,
he just shows up in the main living room area,
like the main area.
Yeah, we shouldn't get into it.
We shouldn't.
But let's just say people have committed crimes.
And the funny thing is, you know what's really funny?
We don't work at that studio anymore, right?
There's nothing there.
It's a private residence now.
It's being rented.
And people still show up there because they don't know.
And one guy showed up and physically attacked one of our employees.
We still own the property, but now there's like those are those neighbors and their private residencies.
And then some guy, some crazy left a guy in a dress beat up one of our employees.
It's crazy. So it's kind of nuts.
We had the old property not so much since we moved because this is a – I guess I would describe this a compound, you know?
Yeah.
A fortified multi-building massive property with armed guards.
But the other property was just like a big house people still to this day drive up and sit at the base for just like 10-15 minutes get out of the car and stand and get out
of the car and just stand staring up the hill and it's the weirdest thing and even after we warned
people that we have armed security and an elevated shooting position and and but that that is a fact
and that we've conferred with local police and federal authorities.
And we've actually put up all the requisite legal signs and everything and physical barriers.
People would still try and go up to the house.
And then they would discover a man standing there with a rifle trained on them.
Shocked to find that when you jump a barricade that says, like, do not enter this property. You know, armed security guards will defend themselves.
People are like, whoa, there's a guy there with a gun.
And it's like, turn around now and leave.
So what type of federal resources is Kash Patel going to put into place
to even look into stuff like this?
Apparently none.
He says they're committed to working with local law enforcement.
I'm saying, like, would that just be him and somebody that he works with
overseeing consistent calls to the places that have had these swattings like to Nick's order?
I mean, I assume he'll have some resources for them, which is I don't mean to be crass when I say none.
I imagine what they're going to be able to offer up is interstate data.
So the swatters probably don't live in the states where the swattings are happening making it very difficult for local law enforcement with cash now engaged he can contact each local
department and say we can take this to the federal level and get you the data you need
we will fast track you for interstate law enforcement oh you mean the actual case for
federal law enforcement in the first place exactly bang let's jump to this next story from Mediaite. Bill Burr torches Elon Musk and his piece of ish car after being told he's trending for slamming the billionaire.
Nerds ruining the world.
Bill Burr is a despicable, silly man.
He has great presentation, though.
I can't fault him.
He really knows how to present anything in a way that is funny.
He is the human embodiment of
Ow My Balls.
That being said, he's a scumbag.
Look at this. Look at this. You see this?
See the video playing?
Twitter tried to play the video
when we weren't using the tab. I muted it.
How dare you? Let me play
some clips for you.
If I was running shit,
I would shut down CNN,
Fox News, and you would no longer be able to
comment on stuff on the internet.
And then I would just leave it at that
and let the, you know, bring it down
to a simmer and then maybe
be like, all right,
you know, talk to people. How do you want to
live? What works for you? And try to like,
you know, I don't know.
I mean, I see this.
This is what I would describe as dangerously stupid.
He doesn't know anything about civics, politics, social behaviors.
And so his idea is if we shut down people's ability to get things off their chest, maybe then it will simmer down.
I have news for you, good sir.
It will result in bombs going off.
He also proudly talks about how he doesn't know what's going on and how he doesn't pay attention to the news.
What I don't get is the amount of veterans, people in the armed services that died trying to stop Hitler.
And then this guy comes in, you know, and does that while being an immigrant too which is kind of the whole thing just none
none of it like tracks how you can be maybe you're wrong about it's almost like you're wrong idiot
yep like so unreal he's going after elon saying he did a c l he did he didn't like the funny thing is
these people will take literally anything any position your your arm is in, even if it's the wrong
arm, even if you don't do the. So, OK, so just so people know this, the Nazi salute is a heel click
hand to the chest, arm straight forward and slightly angled up. Elon did not do that. He did
grab his chest, but then his arm went directly to his right side and outward, which is literally not a Nazi salute, nor did he shout out Hitler.
Bill Burr is a prominent mainstream liberal who has he has said he believes people should take the lives of other certain of wealthy individuals.
He has praised Luigi Mangione on more than one occasion and
called for him to be released. We are looking at a prominent mainstream liberal social orthodoxy
advocating for violence and murder. There was that clip we played last week from Adam Conover's show
where a woman said they polled attendees of the Women's March.
Was it the Women's March?
Something like that.
A big Democrat protestant found one third believed that violence was justified to stop Donald Trump.
They always believe that.
The left believes violence is justified to achieve whatever goal they have in mind, whether it's to stop Donald Trump, whether it's to stop Elon Musk.
It doesn't matter. It's always acceptable to use violence if violence is well, if if they
whatever the issue is, and justify the means. That's that's one of the most annoying parts
about all this. It's funny, because that's a trope that's so popular in Hollywood is to talk
about stories that discuss the idea of the ends justifying the means, but they really do believe that they are so, so right and so true and so on the right side of history that whatever they must
do in service of their cause is okay. And to most normal people, and I'm not even talking about,
and that's kind of what, Tim, you said that he's now, he is now your typical liberal orthodoxy
coming up. Well, he's a famous celebrity. Exactly. So I mean, look, look at this.
The media story on him has four thousand eight hundred and ninety five comments.
So I can't speak to to media readership, but I can extrapolate at least based off a YouTube video and say that that probably means actually let me let me let me jump over here and see what we got.
I'd estimate half a million views to potentially one million on this article about Bill Barr, Bill Burr, not Bill Barr.
That's how famous he is.
And his view is that nerds are bad.
Take a look at this.
He doubles down on free Luigi.
Yo, Luigi Mangione is alleged to have murdered a man in cold blood.
After this happened, Bill Burr said that it was a good thing and should happen more.
This is the mainstream liberal worldview.
I'm going to play this video for you guys.
I actually don't know if I want to play it. I'll play a little bit
of it. I don't give a
fuck! Just kill!
I'm going to stop it there. Because
you can infer what she's
going to say next, and I don't want to play that clip.
So, these videos,
that video of that woman, that's a
random woman.
Every day, I got somebody
here at Timcast posting in our internal chat or sending
to me and being like look at this and it's some random nobody on tiktok saying to go and get
engage in this action so that woman needs to be arrested press conference as they do and say, if you do this, we will arrest you every single one.
Because the issue is it is a social orthodoxy.
These people, many of them are not doing it because they know Bill Burr is as dumb as a box of rocks.
And I'm sad to say that because I didn't want to offend rocks.
But Bill Burr is very stupid. He's a very stupid man. OK, he's funny. He has some of the best presentation in comedy, but he is dangerously stupid and advocating for murder and violence
without understanding how the world operates. He's not doing it because he genuinely feels
in his heart of hearts based on research and strong, well-put thought.
He's doing it because everyone around him is just going,
and he's balking along with them.
You stop it by arresting them.
Now, Bill Burr nearly crossed the line when he advocated that people should do a thing
to billionaires and then said free Luigi.
But that's not creating an imminent threat.
That woman did.
Which said go do it.
Yep.
It's also disconnected because it's not like the guy involved in the Luigi Mangione case was a billionaire.
He was a millionaire who worked for a billion dollar institution in health care right so between that
and the fact that bill burr in a lot of cases is probably the most dangerous type for this type too
because he is like tim said he is a good communicator he gets his point across in an
entertaining way and he gets it across to people who are mentally ill and dysregulated like this
woman who is very clearly off her rocker and radicalized allegedly only
worth is worth 20 million and the ceo of united healthcare was worth 40 million so according to
the leftists that say you know that would say it's acceptable to to kill uh rich people bilber's
right in that in that well their logic would be that he was working for a billion dollar
institution they believe is destroying America.
Did they ever take down the podcast where he did that?
Because probably not on his podcast where he advocated for people to go and take the lives of others.
That's against the rules of every single platform.
Even rumble, even X.
You cannot you cannot do that because there's you know know what's funny is people need to understand.
Insurance companies run the world.
Oh, absolutely.
I mean – and let me say, here's the solution.
Make asylums great again.
Wait, wasn't that something that Vivek was running on for his upcoming –
They're going to 5150 Bill Burr because of danger to himself and others?
Well, I mean, the other lady
is somebody that also likely needs to be 5150.
There's a huge issue with that
in this country right now.
For the past 15 years,
all of the power structures,
all of the media,
everything out there has told Bill Burr
what he's saying is perfectly acceptable.
Yep.
Because the Democrats
never actually face any accountability. I will say, though, guys,'s saying is perfectly acceptable. Yep. Yeah. Because the Democrats never actually face any accountability.
I will say, though, guys, I have to say this.
He has probably one of the best presentations in comedy.
Oh, absolutely.
He's a funny he's funny, but it sucks because this is not funny.
You know, when when if he when he tells jokes, he's got the best way of telling stories in a way that makes you laugh, and that's why he's so good at what he does.
Then when he starts reading this gobbledygook garbage where he starts advocating for violent death and murder, it's like, bro, it's not funny anymore.
You're talking in a weird way about people dying, and I don't like it.
Phil brought up his net worth versus the CEO – was it the CEO?
I believe Bill Burr has half the net worth versus the CEO or the – was it the CEO? Was it the CEO?
I believe Bill Burr has half the net worth.
OK.
So he brought that up and you'd think that at some point during his speech about Free Luigi, he would consider like the second step of thinking like, well, this guy wasn't a
billionaire or did he just assume that this guy who worked for this company was also a
billionaire?
And the fact that we talk about now
that and this is all over hollywood do not matter no no i know i know that it doesn't matter you
are not thinking of the second step okay you just played yourself explain it bill burr did think
ahead he said these people on social media want to murder the rich And they're starting to do it. Yeah. I better join their side before they come after me.
He knows he's one of them.
He wants to make sure that when it all goes down.
What do you mean?
Well, I told you to do it.
I'm on your side.
He's looking for insurance about that.
But at the end of the day, if you're dealing with people that are willing to kill someone because they perceive them as being the other for being rich,
even if most of the people are in some way in on the story
and understand that Bill Burr is on their team and stuff,
all it takes is one person that isn't read into the theory
to be like, oh, well, this guy is also the rich guy.
He works in an industry that is now capped that list.
For someone to not know who he is. He works in an industry that is now capped that list. Or somebody did not know who he is.
He works in an industry that is now capped that list at billionaire.
Remember we'd make the joke about Bernie Sanders, millionaires is only, you don't mention millionaires.
He stopped saying millionaires as soon as he became one.
So now every TV show that criticizes rich elites, it actually uses billionaire with
a capital B, like I mentioned in the show Paradise.
They talk, they literally call them the billionaires. Like they're working with the billionaires because they're capping it. I mentioned in the show Paradise. They literally call them the billionaires.
They're working with the billionaires because they're capping it.
I can't watch that show.
They're capping it at the idea that billionaire is an other.
It's somebody that you're allowed to other and turn into some type of target
because they see them as less than human
because they believe that they've harmed them in some way.
I can't watch Paradise.
Didn't like it?
It's because James Marsden was killed in the first five minutes.
I turned it off.
They also...
I was like, James, no!
The sad thing also is he ends up being this really, really awesome, layered, sympathetic character,
but they make him into such a piece of crap at the beginning,
at his first interaction with Sterling K. Brown's character.
I don't like the time jumping.
And the color, like they should have been,
there should have been a solid color differential
between the flashbacks and the present day
and they didn't do that.
Let's jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen.
This may terrify many of you,
but it appears that Democrats have learned
to communicate from beyond the grave.
Social media erupts over congressman's reaction
to Trump job cuts
after his death. Heavens me. Raul M. Grijalva was able to send this message on social media
despite the fact he died. Well, I can say this. Maybe he scheduled the post or maybe other people
have been posting for politicians the whole time. And that's probably the case.
Media reports Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva decried President Donald Trump's move to cut thousands of jobs at the U.S. Department of Education in a long post on
X Thursday.
But there was one problem.
He was dead.
The post from his official X account posted at 316 p.m.
Thursday slammed the president's decision.
But Grijalva had died in the morning, according to a statement from his family that read,
the office of the 7th District of Arizona
is saddened to announce the passing of Congressman Raul M. Grijalva.
He fought a long and brave battle.
He passed away this morning due to complications of his cancer treatments.
In all seriousness, I am sad to hear this man passed away,
and I hope the best for his family.
I do not respect, however,
those who are impersonating his account and posting on his behalf.
A staffer or a scheduled post.
Even Andy Kaczynski of CNN says, amazing someone thought to hit the send button after he died on this.
Totally wild.
There was a weekend at Bernie's going on.
Look at this.
Absolutely crazy.
They had already published the statement on his death and then two hours later made the post.
That's crazy, man.
Isn't it possible that it was
scheduled perhaps indeed maybe uh and if that's the case i would say it is light mismanagement
yeah but i don't believe that was the case i think there's likely social media interns
who have access to the accounts we've seen it time and time again where an individual
will uh like walmart will tweet something like and the fed not i wish it was
actually something more leftist like yeah and then you're like oh it's the intern who runs the walmart
social media accidentally opened the account i think likely what happened is that somebody who
wasn't privy to his passing in the morning wrote that up and sent it later in the day no no i i
think we got it all wrong here tim what this, is this was a story that was intended for the Babylon Bee,
and the headline should have actually been,
Elon Musk delivers first batch of Starlink to heaven.
Yeah.
Indeed.
Or like Neuralink.
Somehow, like, there was still random synapses firing in his brain.
I, you know, I feel like the Babylon Bee can't do it now,
but it would have been great if the Babylon Bee had an article where it was like,
Democrats' research in necromancy prevails as congressman is able to condemn Trump from beyond grave.
Nice. How hard is it to I've never scheduled a post on X. Is that something I want to be nice?
I am sad to hear that this man passed away. I I'm very saddened by this. There was another
congressman who who passed shortly after Donald Trumpald trump gave his presentation so i will simply say this ra uh raul grahalva was looking down as he was concerned of trump
and sent one last tweet rest in peace brother i may not like the democrats but you know people
dying of cancer is never fun never funny not at all but interns posting posting, I don't know how this happened.
I hope it was a scheduled post.
I'm going to schedule it.
But I don't know why he would schedule a post like that.
I'm going to schedule a post for like 75 years from now.
Yeah?
Well, actually, who did this?
There have been people who have scheduled posts.
Did McAfee do this?
No, he didn't do this.
Oh, the one about mcafee saying
i remember that which people record videos and then schedule them two weeks in advance and then
every week change the date that way if anything happens to them the video gets released yeah it's
uh it's like a dead man's switch all right wasn't there a thing built into facebook at one point in
time that you could actually have it set up so annually it would post on your birthday
i have no idea i i don't doesn't facebook have like a death coordinator thing where like
upon death someone else gains access to your account or something family members they do now
because there was actual legal issues behind that a few years back where they actually had to say
family members said no this facebook account needs to be shut down they have died yeah and facebook's like no we own that
account you know it's you know what's funny is in all these movies you're noticing like um in a
movie even today someone will get a phone call and then you'll hear a line click and a dial tone
yeah they still do the dial still do the dial tone and i think it's funny because it's a cell phone and then they'll they'll be talking and it'll be like you have three hours
click nobody knows the three beep that that you hear with right so okay so my point is my point is
these are anachronisms they don't exist in in modern day so when we watch movies and whenever
they have a will reading scene it's like they all sit down and they're like, to John, I leave $1 million to marry my Corvette.
Actually, what probably is going on now, it's like, to my son, I give you my passwords to all of my accounts on my computer.
And I ask that you delete my browsing history and merge the hard drive.
You know what other one they always do is you'll see somebody put a Glock in someone's face and you'll hear a hammer pull back.
Yep, always.
Oh, God.
Right, right.
Okay, I got to say this because I know Phil is going to agree.
In every movie, every time a gun is shown, even with no action, the hammer is pulled.
The gun is cocked.
It's like, you know what I want to see?
I want to see a movie just one time.
Anyone do this?
Where when they hand a gun to a character who's like,
you know someone will be like,
you want to use one of these?
And they'll be like, I can figure it out.
What I want to happen is when they're about to fight,
he goes to cock the gun and it ejects a round.
Yes.
That would be great.
I've seen it where they'll do that.
The guy will hand the gun.
He'll rack it.
Hands it to the next guy,
and then he'll rack it again.
No balls.
Oh, yeah.
Nothing ejects. I just want to see the balls come flying.
It's funnier when they do it with pump-action shotguns.
It's because it's used as an inflection point.
It's like, that's why you've got to stop.
And then he just keeps doing it.
Then they have the most awesome six-shooters ever in Hollywood.
This conversation here is exactly why so many people
were so quick to jump on the John Wick is amazing.
Because they knew.
Because they were count.
The editor was counting rounds in magazines or counting rounds and they were reloading.
You didn't have him shooting, you know, 500 rounds from the gun.
They were going 15 rounds, reload, 15 rounds, reload.
And more importantly, in all these action movies,
you've got the guy going like this, running,
and then going like this or like this.
Keanu Reeves was actually handling his weapon properly,
and you can watch him do it on his Instagram too.
There's actually a line in the very first episode
of Person of Interest where a guy's holding a gun like that.
He's like, you know if you shoot that,
that's going to eject a casing right in your face, right but uh i still want to point out there is still a
big flaw on the initial in the first john wick when he switches from his glock or from his p30l
to his glock and then suddenly he's a storm trooper and he can't hit anything shooting at
the the other guy had plot armor he he was behind he was like on glass he misses him from glass 10
feet away.
Then he gets a headshot of that dude who's like 30 feet upstairs.
It's like, so why couldn't you use that here?
But I'll give it.
He shot separate hands.
So he moved from left hand to right hand.
So I'm like, I'll give the director the benefit of the doubt and assume that he went to offhand.
I don't know why he would do that, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Also, he would have had his back broken when he fell off that balcony onto his block to be fair if you really want to get into it no man is going
to storm the gates take out 50 people I do love how every movie is like this every show like I was
watching squid games uh squid games 2 which sucked by the way and it's just like here's 70 bad guys
and three good guys and the three good guys just keep plowing through them.
You know, the bad guys have no training.
The trope is always that like in the movies, everybody's behind a car and shooting and the bad guy stands up into full view so the guy can shoot him.
It's like, just don't do that.
Except I just watched, have you seen The Gifted?
No.
It's from 2017 and it was a Marvel X-Men.
It was the Hulu one, yeah.
Was it Hulu?
It went to Hulu after Network.
Yeah, it's on Disney.
And it was an okay show, but there's a scene where all the good guys are doing that.
The bad guys are the white supremacists, but it's not about white people.
It's about mutants.
And so they come with a bunch of guns, and all of the good guys are just standing up for no reason getting shot.
And it's just like you could go behind that rock perhaps yeah but you know don't hide behind
a car either bullets go through cars pretty engine block in uh one of the first things they
even still bullet cars are bullet magnets cars are bullet magnets get away from the car but in
hostile environment training they teach if you have to duck behind a car it must be the engine
block yes yes because people think that that thin aluminum is going to protect you it is not but in movies they do it
like the cops open the door and then crash the door they're standing behind the door i watched
it's like one millimeter of thin aluminum right i watched a worse one the other day where a guy
like he actually drops beneath the door to shoot someone like you just exposed your entire body to
the whoever's there
that's just it so you say don't shoot don't stand behind the car because you're going to get shot
honestly i see someone duck behind the car i'm firing rounds off the under the yeah they will
skip right into me to be fair in the movies they do that that is pretty common where the guy falls
down and then shoots underneath the car yeah but just for the person crouching still i can fire
around oh right off the pavement and i i know this person crouching still, I can fire around right off the pavement.
And I know this is going to sound weird.
John Wick can fire around right off the pavement.
Yes.
I know this because my cousin died at the age of 12
because this happened.
Don't mess around with guns, people.
You've got to get proper training.
And insurance.
Or in Wanted, where you make the bullet curve.
Oh, God.
I love, yeah, you whip your arm,
and then that makes literally no sense.
But that movie was awesome.
Who cares?
It was awesome.
That's the thing, though.
Everybody's obsessed with realism right now.
I don't want it to be real.
I want to see the bullet curve.
Angelina Jolie whips the bullet, and it goes all the way around everybody, and then her.
Dude, that movie was so, but I loved it.
That movie was funny.
Like I said, everybody's too worried about realism now.
Sometimes you just curve the bullet. All right, let's jump to this next story. For this next story, we bring you to Reddit. It's our good friend David Pakman. I'm not saying this to drag David Pakman personally because he did not post this. But over on the subreddit for David Pakman, David Pakman's followers don't know that Anonymous isn't a group of people. They posted anonymous claims 2024
election interference and election fraud. I'm going to play the video for you. First, it's two
minutes. Take a listen. Greetings, users of TikTok. You may have noticed disruptions across your
social media platforms. It began with Twitter and is now extended to Snapchat. These platforms are
struggling to maintain stability due to targeted and strategic actions against their systems. Know this. This is only the beginning.
They may regain control temporarily, but their infrastructure will continue to falter,
over and over again. You may be asking, why is this happening? The answer is clear.
Social media wields immense influence, not just in the United States, but across the
globe. Elon Musk understood this power and exploited it, aligning himself with Donald
Trump to manipulate the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. We have investigated.
We have seen the evidence. The 2024 election was not free from interference. We can say with
certainty that data was altered to secure a victory for Donald Trump.
Key swing states, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan,
experienced database breaches within ballot counting systems.
Do you believe this is coincidence?
But the manipulation did not stop there.
Musk weaponized Twitter's reach to spread misinformation,
feeding the public artificial threats and fabricated narratives designed to influence voter decisions.
This is why social media platforms now find themselves in turmoil.
Twitter and its leadership directly interfered in democracy, not just in the presidential election, but in elections across the country.
And yet, other platforms stood by in silence.
Their inaction makes them complicit.
They continue to suppress the truth.
They continue to censor reality. Let it be known, as long as they remain complicit. They continue to suppress the truth. They continue to censor reality.
Let it be known, as long as they remain complicit, their systems will remain unstable.
Only when they uphold the rights of the people, only when they allow the truth to be told,
will they regain control. To the CEOs of these platforms, do what is right. If you will not
serve the people, you do not deserve to be available to the people. To the remaining social media platforms, take heed. What is happening to
Twitter and Snapchat is not an isolated event. It is a warning. You have enabled deception,
profited from manipulation, and stood idle as the truth was buried. That time is over.
If you continue down this path, you will share their fate. You are being watched.
Your silence will not protect you.
Your compliance will not absolve you.
Make your next moves carefully.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
So, let me show you some of the responses here on this Reddit.
The claims of anonymous aside,
Donald is clearly in debt to Elon for something moving on. I'm hoping they use TikTok because of its reach. They are spot on about Musk. The only thing I don't like about anonymous shutting down
social media apps air the proof. I want to see the proof kind of wild to think any legit anonymous
member. There are blah, blah, blah. The point is, Anonymous never was a group of people. It is not
to this day is still not. And this is a perfect example, not of anonymous stuff. It is that these
people don't actually know anything about what's going on. So for us here, for instance, and for you watching, you watching are all likely more
informed because we who produce these shows are more informed.
So I will tell you, the phrase anonymous comes from 4chan.
When you post on the message board, your name appears as the word anonymous.
These people are referred to as anons.
4chan would engage in mischief.
What would happen basically is somebody would make a
post on 4chan saying, hey, everyone, we should go do this thing. If nobody really cared, the post
slowly disappears. But every time someone replies to the post, it gets bumped and moves to the top.
This resulted in online pranks from people who largely didn't pay attention.
There's one man who saw one of these campaigns.
It said, download an app called the low, a program at the time, we didn't say app,
low orbit ion cannon, which allows you to engage in what's called the denial of service attack.
This guy had no idea what any of this meant.
Download the program.
It said, type in this IP and press go.
And he went, sure.
And then he left.
He had no idea what was going on.
He went to prison.
He got in serious trouble. He got like two years. That is who, quote unquote, anonymous is a random guy who was told
by a stranger on the Internet. The video that you just watched that they believe is real is a 15
year old video of a guy wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and a hoodie. And it's probably only 10 seconds
of him bobbing his head up and down. And then it loops. The voice is clearly AI generated. What they used to do is just general voice changers. Anonymous, when anyone ever said
anonymous threatens X, they literally mean the true definition of the word anonymous.
Replace that word with random guy. So let's now apply that to this video. David Pakman show on Reddit that the post says random guy claims 2024 election interference and election fraud.
When you hear that, you go, oh, well, who cares what some random guy thinks in the video?
They're trying to take credit for taking down Twitter, X and Snapchat.
Objectively, objectively false. It is a random person made a random video
and liberals think it's real. And what's going to happen is your liberal aunt is going to be like,
did you hear that that hacker group said that they have proof Trump stole the election?
You mean unanimous? And don't don't forget,
Trump supporters played a very, very similar game with Donald Trump back in 2020.
It's just stupid.
It's just stupid.
Mostly people who just remember watching Mr. Robot.
That's what they're...
Well, I mean, what's fascinating is the anonymous stuff was 15 years ago.
And I'll let you guys in on a secret to all the people
um how do i know these things i know most of those people the the in the irc chats um
i sang out the hackerspaces we know the people who are working these activist groups uh there
was a hacker group called telecomics that i was friends with the friends with many of these guys
they did operations for communications in the arab Spring with protests. There was there were two operations,
quote unquote, anonymous. A group of random people on various IRCs would shared something
they called Black Facts. It was an operation, Black Facts. It was viral on 4chan. What it did
was that someone got a list of all of the phone numbers in Egypt.
And I'm not sure what other country might have been Libya and posted it and said, everyone fax these numbers, black pieces of paper.
What that will do is it will run all of the ink or whatever in the machines.
It'll burn them out.
And so they burned all the machines out.
Telecomics got into a feud with a lot of these hacktivists because telecomics
was doing something called white facts, where they were spamming all fax machines with information on
how to connect to the internet to share information about what was going on during the Arab Spring.
There is no group of anonymous. It was literally just random people. David Pakman's users on Reddit
are all responding as if that is an actual person who made a video taking actual credit from an actual organization, actually believing the election was stolen, and they're going to spread that around.
Well, that type of video is extremely powerful to people who are kind of boxed into a specific way of thinking, right?
You mean dumb?
Yeah. So the people who don't pay attention to the news,
like I mentioned, they're going to go around now saying anonymous said this and this, that because
they don't know it's not a real thing. And the feds really loved the idea because it created a
specter during the early 2010s, where when they wanted to go after people for CFAA violations,
they could wiggle the specter of anonymous, the hacker group with the Guy Fawkes masks.
And see, this is all just a bad marketing campaign, to be perfectly honest.
They need to update with the times.
I am waiting for a new video where instead of the Guy Fawkes masks, we got the Scream Ghostface mask.
Yeah.
Because they're just a joke at this point.
You know, it was a joke in the beginning.
It started with Scientology.
So the first protests, and did I
remember watching these people protest in Chicago? They all put on Guy Fawkes masks because V for
Vendetta, obviously. And we're protesting Scientology. It was Operation Chinology that
got a lot of attraction. And what the activists were basically saying is Scientology is bad,
so we should go and protest them.
But we have to wear masks because they'll target you and harass your families.
And then because it was just basically memes, other people posted other things and other things got popular.
One of my favorite anonymous operations was Operation King Cone.
Now, you may not be familiar with it because nobody went out and caused a ruckus wearing Guy Fawkes masks.
This is let me tell you guys what anonymous really is.
Anonymous is a post on 4chan that says, I have found a camera on Earthlink pointing to TGIF in Times Square.
There is an orange street cone up against the wall of the TGIF.
It is our mission, anonymous, to knock this cone over. Can we do it? And for like eight hours, people on 4chan were trying to find ways to get that cone to knock over. So the simple
version is all of these people across the country sitting on the internet board were watching a
webcam of Times Square and they were just like, this orange cone needs to tip over somehow.
How can we do it? After several hours, eventually, I think it was three guys walked past it with
their hands in their pockets and then just froze and then walked backwards, turned around,
grabbed the cone, flipped it over and started bashing it and stomping on it,
waved to the camera and then walked away. Shortly after that, three more people walked over with a
young woman. They picked the cone up, put it in the middle of the sidewalk. She pulled a crown
out of her purse and put it on top and walked away. That's what anonymous is. It was literally
people on the message board goofing off the whole time. It just so happened that some of these
people literally downloaded a denial of service app and then went to prison for
it and then you did have a group called lulz sec lulz security that um was a group of i think what
was it like nine people or something yeah and they started claiming they were anonymous because they
actually knew i don't know what do they do? SQL injection? Like really low tier breaking into websites?
Does SQL injection
even work anymore?
SQL injection?
On old websites, maybe. It's not going to work on anything.
You'd be surprised.
Yeah, that's kind of scary. You're probably
right. It's been
15 years. For those that don't know
what it is, you're basically putting code
into the password box because the way the old passwords worked. Imagine this. There is a box
and it's empty. And then next to it is text. And it says, hey, my password is blank. Please let me
in. Underneath that box, it says, if you are hearing someone call and their password is blank. Please let me in. Underneath that box, it says, if you are hearing someone
call and their password is banana, let them in. What SQL injection did was in that box, you would,
it says, Hey, my name is blank. Let me in. You would put in this massive line of text where it's
a, Hey, my name is wait, hold on a minute. You don't actually didn't know my name. Open the door
anyway. Please let me in. And then the door opens. That's how it worked.
At this point, it's really just gotten to the point where technology has advanced so far. Nobody cares about what used to be a problem that we fixed.
So they just stopped focusing on that. That's how you're going to get it again.
I mean, I got to be honest. There may be small businesses, but if seriously, if these techniques still work,
I would be very surprised.
I'm like anything that mattered.
I'm talking about like sequel injection.
So,
uh,
back when anonymous was doing things,
it was random people bored on the internet.
And it was,
it's really crazy with what board people on the internet can do.
Um,
but for some of the higher profile things like literally on David Pakman's show,
quote unquote,
anonymous hacked the Westboro Baptist Church.
That was actually a small group of hackers.
They call them script kiddies.
It means they copied and pasted scripts
they got from other websites
and actually know how to do it.
And they very easily broke
into rudimentary websites
and made it look like they were powerful.
They wanted to claim that they were anonymous, but they weren't.
There is no anonymous.
Well, I think that type of video is the type of showmanship that actually does affect a bunch of people.
Like you said, somebody's liberal aunt is going to end up showing them this as if they just said something really profound when all it was was smoke and mirrors and theater.
The reality is that if anonymous was a group, it's pro-Trump and it got Trump elected.
I'm not kidding.
On 4chan, all the memes were pro-Trump and it was meme magic.
Shia LaBeouf and the flag.
Oh, God.
Right.
Watch the mini documentary on meme magic and how Trump got elected.
There was a post on.
It's crazy.
Do you guys know about this stuff?
I bring it up from time to time.
Shane should do an episode on this.
On 4chan, there's a string of numbers that appear actually let me let me pull this up i'll
grab the image for you trump wins 4chan 77777 uh let me see if i can get this image it probably
where is it careful i got it i'm not going to 4chan that's just a scary place to be
okay well this is a very crude image but i'm gonna pull it up anyway
so this is really low res you don't that doesn't really matter take a look at all of these little
blue boxes that's the string of text they wrote trump will win and it's all sevens
yep they responded to every single person each one of these these little blue boxes a string
of numbers it's just low res they responded to all of these. Each one of these little blue boxes, a string of numbers.
It's just low res.
They responded to all of these people.
Trump will win.
And when they did, it went 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7.
Yep.
How many?
Wait, I think I got.
Maybe I can find a higher res one. For people, if you don't know, like getting like three numbers the same up in there or double at the end is a big deal.
Like and on 4chan, if you get quad,
they call it quads. That's huge.
So if there's
a full line of seven
with Trump will win, that's hilarious.
I can't find a higher res image of it anymore.
The history has been erased.
They have stolen our history from us.
See what they've taken from us?
Well, they was Google.
Sorry, I had to call it out.
I hear they all the time, and I got to wonder.
But there's this video on YouTube that talks about the history of the meme magic, and it is nuts.
So I'll give you the quick version.
In World of Warcraft, biggest game in 2006,
there's the Horde and the Alliance, two different factions,
and you can play versus play against them.
When you're playing as the Alliance,
I think it actually works both ways, but I played Alliance.
If you encounter someone from the Horde, they speak a different language, so you can't communicate with them.
If they typed in LOL, the fake translator in the game would turn it into K-E-K, Keck.
What happened is a meme emerged where young people, millennials, millennial men, who knew this, started responding on social media with Keck instead of LOL.
Because we all knew that Keck meant laugh out loud.
In the game, Life life is strange the first
one the young male character texts the main character keck in on her sidekick at her old
mobile phone that's how popular it was so it turns out that uh wait let me pause there's also pepe
the frog pepe the frog was from a comic and he is it's not really that
but it became a popular character
everybody knows Pepe
Pepe was a green frog
fun fact
member of your discord
my co-host
Michael Leo
was there for a lot of the Pepe creations
so Pepe was originally
just some random comic by some guy
and people
there was a line where he said
feels good man
someone took a screenshot of it and used it was a line where he said feels good man someone took a
screenshot of it and used it as a meme to represent when things feel good pepe became popular so now
you have keck and a green frog as it turns out keck is an egyptian god of mischief and chaos
and darkness who is represented as a frog this is part of the meme magic that people didn't realize and then you get
chatele you guys know about chatele so this was a song by a band called pepe and the cover of the
album was a green frog i think it was doing it look with a magic wand or something i don't know
all of these weird coincidences built around this culture at the time and everyone fortune was
making memes
of trump as pepe or various pepe memes and that's why people believe they memed trump into the
presidency with meme magic yep and that's why people talk about the uh the yep it's a frog
with a magic wand yeah all the pictures of jd vance like all the different jd vances that you
see people where people are talking about that being a new type or
a new new chapter of meme magic because it's bringing J.D. Vance to the top of people's
minds and you I forget who said it but someone the other night we're talking about it and you
associate you see these pictures of J.D. Vance and you laugh and you feel good and it's funny
and so you associate J.D. Vance with feeling good and positive energy.
And you end up, so like in four years, if this kind of thing does continue, in four years, people will be like, oh, yeah, J.D. Vance.
I like that guy.
I will vote for him. I mean, honestly, can we stop with the J.D. Vance memes?
No.
Nope.
We clearly cannot.
J.D. Vance is a vanilla pudding vice president, but he's present.
And I mean that in a respectful way, that he's very, like, C+.
You know what I mean?
Look at me.
The memes have made him an A-plus personality.
They have boosted him from a C-rank personality to an A-rank personality.
It was that, and before that, it was I don't really care, Margaret,
and he leaned into it.
Right.
He's got it going.
It can only help him, too, because Trump had so much name recognition
leading up to his presidency and before that I actually asked the question.
I said, look, what do they do after that? Like there is a there is a position that needs to be filled where there's so much of what's going on in politics right now is revolving around Trump and those around him that anybody who's going to succeed him is going to have to build a strong cult of personality around themselves as well.
I mean, I guess maybe if...
Great that they don't have anybody to offer on the left either.
Well, yeah, I mean, that could change in four years too.
But the cult of personality, I think that it is less dependent on that than it is on a successful presidency of Donald Trump. If Donald Trump has a successful presidency,
and the last year, year and a half of Donald Trump's presidency,
the American people feel good about their place in,
where they are in their life and stuff,
then I think that it will be likely that J.D. Vance will get into office.
If they're not happy, then I don't, I imagine it'll be a tough sell.
One of the things they said was when Trump gave that interview and he said that
they asked his J.D. Vance, your successor, he said he said no. And that was to like shield
him in case people end up not being, you know, happy towards what happens during his presidency.
And that helps him if he wants to run later.
Yeah, I mean, that's fair enough. But I mean, obviously, if J.D. Vance does run, we'll know in two years or so if he's going to run and he will want to have the president's endorsement.
Even if Donald Trump isn't doing great, he will still want the president to endorse him.
How often has a vice president actually effectively then gone on to become the president?
How many times has that happened? Last time it happened was Bush Sr., yeah.
And he only lost because of Ross Perot.
Yeah.
And also, there is an argument that if it wasn't for—
there's an argument that Gore, there you go, was actually one as well,
even though he lost
the Electoral College.
Lost Florida, so.
14 vice presidents
have gone on to become president.
Indeed.
Let's jump to this next big story.
Ladies and gentlemen,
RFK Jr. is going to eliminate
the grass exemption.
If you don't know what that means,
I'll give you the simple version.
A video was put out
where he basically said,
generally recognized as safe was intended for salt and baking powder.
So that when companies wanted to include these things, they didn't need to do extensive testing to determine whether or not they were safe because they were generally recognized as safe.
However, since then, he says, it's turned into a so long as we don't know it causes harm, it is safe.
That's not what it was intended to be he has uh stated he's instructed uh actually let's just do this we have the story
from informa they say that uh rfk jr on monday directed the food and drug administration to
explore potential rulemaking that would revise the grass safe rule generally recognized as safe
which allows food manufacturers to bypass pre-market review on certain chemicals or additives if they are considered safe among qualified experts.
Companies have two pathways to achieve grass status.
While companies can petition the FDA to review an ingredient and grant it grass status, they can also self-affirm that their products are safe based on the conclusion of a scientific panel. The health secretary called out the self-affirmed pathway to regulatory approval, saying manufacturers have exploited a loophole to allow new chemicals into the food supply, often with unknown safety data.
So with this major move, West Virginia is currently in limbo on their artificial food dye ban.
I say this, West Virginia, you got no choice. It's coming sooner or later.
And you have an opportunity to get ahead of this before it's too late.
Because when he nukes this rule, the food dyes are out.
All of these weird chemicals are out.
Food is literally, the ingredients are going to be like flour, water, sugar.
Hopefully.
I mean, I would love to see actual, you know, actual movement on this i think that the the garbage that's put into food
in the united states is mostly unnecessary um you know i've been to europe a bunch of times
and they have a bunch of rules on the stuff that can be put into into food and it tastes good and
and you don't have you don't have the same kind of uh you know bmis in europe generally
even fast food in europe tastes generally healthier than mcdonald's is better in europe
it's put together and made by someone that doesn't hate your guts what's interesting is that
i've heard from a lot of people when they're eating food in the united states even if they're
not eating that much they gain lots of weight and then we heard quite a bit, actually, you go to Europe, you eat the exact same things,
you lose weight. Now, I got some questions about that. I'm wondering, because I've heard this from
a lot of people, they say outside of the US, I'll eat the same food I normally eat, and I'm losing
weight. But in the US, I gain weight. And I'm like, you never measure your portions, right? So if you're in, if you're in
Europe and you order like steak frites, how many fries do they give you? How much oil was used on
those fries? How much salt was put on the fries? And how big is the steak? Is it cut slightly
thinner? Whatever. Now you're probably going to say, no, I ordered a, you know, an eight ounce
steak. Okay. What about the French fries? We never measure these things. I think American portion sizes are ridiculous and Americans don't notice that when you order
a burger in the US at a diner, it's this big. When you get a sandwich in Europe, it's a lot smaller
or that could be the answer. I don't know. I mean, also depending on where you're living there,
it's not just the ingredients. They live in cities where they're walking rather than driving a lot of the time.
So there's drastic lifestyle changes that make a huge difference there as well.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's true.
But I also think things like the corn syrup subsidies and the amount of corn syrup and sugar that's in food in America, it's substantial.
Well, no, I'm from corn country, Phil.
We've got to have those corn subsidies.
I would end them in a second, given the opportunity.
But, I mean, that's just me.
Look, humans don't need to eat so much sugar.
Diabetes is a massive problem in the United States.
Obesity is a massive problem in the United States. Obesity is a massive problem in the United States. And whatever we can do to help
dull the
effects from the obesity
epidemic, I'm
kind of for.
It is like 70% of America
is overweight.
40% of America is obese.
No wonder why
we have a crisis with
births.
Everyone looks like crap.
So I recently, so we order, my family, imported European organic wheat.
And it's because all the hippies are like, order your wheat from Europe because the American stuff has who knows what in it.
However, when we had Dr. Malone on, on the culture war,
he said that glyphosate is banned in Europe.
I looked it up. It's not.
Glyphosate is not banned in Europe.
And so I don't know why he thought that was the case, but it's not.
So I then said, okay, so maybe the European stuff is just as bad.
So I went on the internet and I ordered einkorn, I think it's called.
Einkorn wheat.
It's one of the first plants to ever be
domesticated or cultivated.
And the bag says
it's a 12,000 year old wheat strain.
Never modified, never hybridized.
And it is
glyphosate residue free certified.
So for breakfast
I took some of that.
I took some farm fresh eggs right from Chicken City butts, and I made waffles with it. And we are eating food that is as close to normal as it can be. No more weird THBQ or whatever it's called in artificial dyes. And it we're in mapling country, most don't know this. It's not that far away. You can get up in PA and stuff.
A lot of mapling going on.
We have a big jug of pure organic fresh from the farm maple syrup.
Not from Canada.
Not from Canada.
We don't need it.
Now, the Canada stuff, I got to be honest.
Someone from Canada gave me maple syrup.
It got me sick.
I don't know.
I'm just being real.
And I was like, certainly it's not the maple syrup.
That's just sugar.
So I had some again. Got sick again. I was like, okay, I'm the maple syrup. That's just sugar. So I had some again.
Got sick again.
I was like, okay, I'm not going to eat this anymore.
The American stuff, everything was fine.
Was it a friend that gave it to you?
Yeah, someone came on the show, and they were like, hey, maple syrup.
And I was like, oh, great.
We love maple syrup.
Maybe they have a vendetta against you.
No, I think Canada, we just want to buy American.
Look, man, there's a lot of maple trees in Vermont and New Hampshire.
That's all I'm saying.
We got maple trees out here.
And here's some other important facts.
Black walnut trees can be tapped for delicious syrup.
They say it tastes like butterscotch.
A lot harder to do because black walnut trees aren't as big.
And you need more of it.
But there's also other trees.
Which one is it?
It's not the box elder, is it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Box elders.
It is a species of maple, but its sap is, it takes a lot more to make.
But you can get sweet, delicious, sugary goo out of many trees.
Just make sure you look it up.
Some of them are dangerous, and you'll die, so don't do it.
But everybody gets maple, and I'm like, what about black walnut syrup black walnut syrup yeah but see tim that that's natural selection working for us we we
got population that needs to be smarter so let the let the let me let me stop you there and say
this i would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all of the people who ate mushrooms before me
and died so that i know which ones are safe to eat. That is the history of humanity.
Yeah.
There's a meme.
Into the wild.
The book, Into the Wild.
Well, there's a meme where it's like, be caveman.
See red berry.
Say, ugh, eat berry.
Ugh, eat berry.
Ugh, sleep.
Ugh, sleep many moons.
Ugh, no, wake up.
Maybe no, eat berry.
Like, yep.
That's how humans figured it out.
Hey, look at that one.
Should we eat it?
I don't know. You go first. it out. Hey, look at that one. Should we eat it? I don't know.
You go first.
Whoop, probably shouldn't eat that one.
Well, that's, and now it's just like,
now they just check an app on their phone.
They take a picture of it and they say,
is this safe to eat?
You can do that.
You can do that?
Yeah, what's it?
What's the app?
Picture this.
I think there's multiple apps that do that,
to be honest with you.
There's an app called Picture This
that will tell you any plant.
So why we're, is that why society feels
so helpless these days?
Is it because you just literally have something to help you with everything?
I mean, I'm not sure about why society feels so helpless, but...
The next generation feeling helpless
because they haven't actually performed the tasks without some type of aid.
I mean, maybe.
There is a means for a computer to do most things for you nowadays.
Considering everyone's walking around
with their with their phone you don't need to know math anymore you don't need to know
not that i'm any good at math i'm terrible at it but i half agree i think um there are
circumstances where if you know the math then uh or have a general understanding of this stuff
you can apply it rather quickly as opposed to trying to look it up right away.
I'll put it like this.
I would rather know how to play a song
than be like, I can probably play it.
Let me look up the music.
In a circumstance where someone hands me a guitar
and says, play a song.
Give me a second.
Let me get my phone.
I'm going to look up a song.
That's fine, but it's not a life or death situation.
Or I can just be like, I know how to play a song.
I can just play it.
In what I do, data analytics,
I do a lot of math. I can do
the math. I've just
found it's easier, more often
than not, to code in my math
solutions so that way I don't have to remember how to
do it every time.
You know. I literally
work here so that I don't have to do math.
Math is your friend.
You should learn math. Math is your friend. You should learn math.
You know,
the reality is, though, I think
Americans have
another sickness, and that is
laziness,
but
we have faulty child rearing.
So the most important
years of a child's life are zero
through five. That is where the neurons are developing and the brain is adapting.
So you've heard of people who are tone deaf.
This is because they weren't exposed to music and didn't have a practice or understanding of it in formative years.
So you get old enough and you're like, my brain does not process this thing. A really easy way to understand this as a problem is,
if you've ever heard the story of the girl who was like locked in a basement for like 15 years,
when they finally released her, she struggled to speak. She could only say certain words and spoke very strangely. And there is another story of a girl that lived in the wild and struggled
to survive when they found her at like 10 or whatever, she never learned how to talk.
She could only ever say single words
like eat, eat, me eat.
She could not because babies from zero to five,
their brains are starting to develop
to adapt to the world around them.
And if you isolate a human from these things,
they will not develop it.
In the United States,
what do babies do between the ages of zero and five?
Well, nowadays they basically look at an iPad In the United States what do babies do between the ages of 0 and 5? Well they
nowadays they basically
look at an iPad all the time. Sure do.
And they're seeing psychotic
nonsense.
The younger generation
the babies from today
or I'd say in the past maybe even
10 years are going
like damn dude
10 year olds when they're in their twenties and thirties are going to be
some of the,
we're going to have serious problems.
You see the stories about kids going into kindergarten in the UK and they
don't know how to walk upstairs and they don't know how to turn the pages on
books.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well,
they can't like,
they can't read analog clocks anymore.
Yeah.
Well,
and no,
and they were saying like people were naive to not realize the damage that COVID was going to do between distance learning and masks to kids in their formative
years. So my concern is knowing that if you don't expose people to this information or to these
abilities, it's going to stunt them. You take a look at the millennial generation, and you can see its effects. You take a look at, you go back to 200 years, kids grew up watching
their parents do the work, and they were working as children on the family farm, and they grew up
understanding all these things. They didn't necessarily know math or whatever. Now we've
got kids who do literally nothing from zero
through five they're looking at tablets their brains are being wired for psychotic things like
elsagate cocomelon whatever it might be when they're older they're all going to be really
really messed up and you're gonna you think lgbtq now is crazy with all the lgbtqia2sp whatever
think about what it's going to be like when people have built identities around internet videos of Hitler with a woman's body wearing a bikini.
Not kidding.
That was actually part of the Finger Family Elsagate scandal.
These kids, their brains wired based on this.
So furries, right?
What is the psychological phenomena for furries?
Why are there individuals who want to dress up like cartoon animals? Looney Tunes, right? What is the psychological phenomena for furries? Why are there individuals who want to dress up like cartoon animals?
Looney Tunes, right?
That's probably it.
I'd hypothesize it's because of anthropomorphized animals in Disney and Looney Tunes.
And these people at a young age developed an identification with what they were watching on TV.
It's like the people that developed a deep hatred for Barney.
Here's something for you.
How come there were no furries
in 1930?
I think that that
kind of stuff has a lot to do with the fact that
there are
with the advent of the internet,
just like we said before, there are people
that will support all of your decisions.
You want to bang a toaster, there's a group where
you can go ahead and find people that want to bang a toaster.
Yeah, don't do that. It's not just that, but you can do a lot of different things in the privacy of your own home.
Whereas in the 1930s, you couldn't go to a movie theater, see Minnie Mouse on the screen and say, yeah, I want to bang her.
I mean, that would not have been acceptable in any society.
But nowadays you can find a community and say, yep, I agree with this.
And I can do it from privacy in my own home,
and I don't have to look like a weird guy.
Indeed.
I mean, you'd not look like a weird guy publicly, you know?
But the thing is they don't even worry about that now
because so much of it gets put out on social media
where it's not just that they're weird,
they want you to understand it and they want you to be okay with it. That's because of the culture of always lifting up
and centering the margins and, oh, everything's,
we don't kink, shame, blah, blah, blah.
No, you should kink, shame furries.
You should definitely kink, shame furries.
Well, but it's an identity, not a kink.
You should shame those identities.
I'm fine with that.
Right, but that's the thing that people need to understand. While there certainly are weird furries who do weird kink you should shame those identities i'm fine with that right but that's that's the thing that
people need to understand um while there certainly are weird furries who do weird kink things like
we have people who message us all the time it's it's it's a play identity thing some people deeply
identify as animals they well they wear cat ears and tails and they walk around in public like this
it's because as babies they attach to something they identify with something so that did it didn't used to be
possible but now with the weird things in media a child is looking at a screen a baby and seeing a
lion talk and then as they get older they're like but lion talk i'm a lion and they're not it was
like other kin before furries no other kin was way after furries like uh oh like timeline wise how how long after bro furries have been around for a long time okay other kin was way after first like uh oh like timeline wise how how long after bro
furries have been around for a long time okay other can was a product of like the tumblr era
in the 2000s it's like the the guy who's like uh said he worked at a grocery store and said he
would transform into a wolf on shift and his boss would just have to be like whatever he's not
hurting any customers i guess yep and uh so anyway, my point is we have obesity for a variety of reasons.
I believe chemicals in our food contribute to this.
I believe the Internet contributes to this.
I think you've got people who are working remote and they no longer walk anymore.
And we don't walk to get food.
We do Uber and Amazon.
We no longer walk to groceries.
We used to walk down Main Street and go to each store and then carry back the groceries in your arms
and we're just not
working out.
The healthiest I was mentally and
physically was at a time when I did not drive,
did not have a car, and had to walk to get
everywhere because it was a
natural way of staying in shape without even
thinking of it as exercise on top of skating
every day. We're going to go to Super Chat,
so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button,
share the show with everyone you know,
become a member of Rumble Premium.
Go to TimCastPremium.com, sign up,
use promo code TIM10.
And I guess the cat's out of the bag
on what's going on next week
with Dan Bongino's show officially ended.
Shout out to Dan.
Thank you for joining the FBI.
It's a tremendous sacrifice, a great honor
to see you will be fighting
for accountability and justice
for all of us as Americans.
We are privileged.
But you were mentioning
that the Quartering
already announced this.
They played a video
of Steven Crowder saying
this whole lineup of people.
Oh, right on.
I think, yeah,
Crowder put out a video.
Yeah.
Next week,
the Tim Pool Daily Show will be at noon on Rumble Exclusive.
So for all the YouTube clips I do in the morning, those are going to stay at the same exact time.
So at 10, noon, 1, 3, and 4, there will be clips on the Tim Pool Morning Show.
However, I will be live on Rumble exclusively at noon till 1 in the lineup doing what is effectively the morning show.
So it'll just be different topics.
The 10 a.m. on YouTube will stay the same,
but there will be a larger show.
And what we're going for with this show is,
whereas right now the live morning show I do
is single topic based for an hour
with some super chats,
this one's probably going to be like 40 minutes
and then we're actually probably going to start
booking some guests.
Zoom calls.
You know, real quick, like five, ten-minute hits where we'll bring someone in at the end of the show.
And, yes, it should be fun.
It should be fun.
And I think it's going to be massive.
The play here, I think, from Rumble is going to – I think it's going to end up with, these shows are all going to be
some of the biggest podcasts in the space
based on the strategy being implemented.
But we'll see, we'll see.
So become a member.
Follow me on X, all that good stuff.
Let's read some super chats.
We got Jason Dixon.
It says, Tim, you're clueless on work from home.
Big companies ran on conference calls for years.
More work means more work, not raises.
Remote teams work fine.
Your take is bad management.
Who's paying you to push this?
That last question proves that the question was derived of someone who was angry and lazy.
I can actually push back.
In my work, I do performance management, which means for a work-from-home staff, I get to evaluate all sorts of different metrics and how they carry out their jobs, and I can put a number to anything.
And I can definitively show you where, if we have a group of associates working from home compared to a group of people who have to be in the office, I can show you the efficiency differences.
It does exist.
But what does that mean?
Which one's better?
Usually the people in the office.
Right.
So work from home is a failure.
Your company will suffer for it no matter what.
There's very rare instances where working remote or from home actually works or makes sense.
And it's a general cultural detriment.
And it will leave you as an employee stagnant and in many instances a failure.
The people who want to work from home want to do so because they want the comforts of their home.
They don't want to go to work. But I'll put it this way. If your job is like for me to complain
on the internet, well, I want to be in the studio complaining. I want to do this.
No one's, I have no boss. I do this because I want to. There's no question of work from home.
I come here because I enjoy coming here every day. For people whose jobs, if let's, let's say
you're like a chemist, you don't do chemistry at home. You go to the lab because you want to do
the research you're doing. You want to work on the projects you're working on. The people who work in office settings, be it insurance,
be it creative, they want to work from home because they don't want to do that job. And
they can say anything they want to me. Actions speak louder than words. I say to everybody who
walks through these doors, you want to work? You want to work here? If at any point I feel or it is apparent
that you don't actually want to be here, you shouldn't be. And so that's how we run things.
If it comes to a point where someone's like, I think I'm going to work from home instead,
I'll be like, go for it. Then after a certain amount of time, I'll be like, clearly you don't
want to be here and maybe you should not be. If you want to be here, you will be. But JP Morgan,
this is a response to a video I made, nailed it hit the nail on the head with the hammer
he said to if you're a young person and you're working from home you will be left behind you
will not get work experience you will not get office experience you will not be debating with
anybody you will not be available for special projects and by the time you actually come to
show up to work you're going to find that your peers have all been promoted and given raises
like they simple enough i imagine that a big part of it is like understanding the office culture is And by the time you actually come to show up to work, you're going to find that your peers have all been promoted and given raises.
Simple enough.
I imagine that a big part of it is understanding the office culture, is understanding the people that you work with and developing relationships there.
And that's a lot harder to do if you're not there.
It's impossible to do. You got two guys, Bill and Rick, and they both work for a company doing data entry.
And Bill says, I can do this from home. And the boss says,
sure, just get it done. Rick says, I'll come into the office. I got no problem.
Rick shows up. One day, the boss is in the lunchroom saying, I just need somebody who can,
we don't need to hire somebody. It's only an extra hour once a week to do this job. Who can do it?
And then Rick goes, yo, boss, I can do that.
And he goes, you can do this. Friday's at noon. He goes, I got you. And he goes, thanks, Rick.
I won't forget it. Rick comes up for a performance review and he goes, you picked up the slack when
we really needed it. We're going to give you a 5% raise on top of your inflationary raise.
I know you didn't ask for it, but we really like what you're doing. Bill shows up and they're like,
hey, Bill, a year goes by at that pace. Rick's a supervising
manager. He's got a team of data analysts. And Bill, they say, hey, we're going to be
relocating our data entry team. Rick's now in charge. They're going to be working out of this
office in another city where Rick is relocating to and taking the team with him. Bill, you're
being laid off. Thanks for working for us. There you go. You work from home. You do what you want to do. That's how it goes.
For us, when you work in creative spaces, I tell the story all the time because it just happened.
We were making a joke about Pop-Tarts. We decided to film a vlog about Pop-Tarts and buy a bunch of
Pop-Tarts. That idea cannot happen if everyone's working remote so i am anti-remote
work 100 rare exceptions there are very rare exceptions because where it makes sense it can
make sense there's a ton of times where when all the remains was writing songs we would be we'd
have two people talking like kind of not listening to each other our our old drummer and guitar
player used to do this all the time they would kind of talk past each other and they would be like they would be like okay yeah okay and they
would think they understood what the other person was saying and they'd go ahead and they tried we
you know try the idea or whatever and it wouldn't actually work out but someone else like mike or
myself got oh that gives me this idea and so you so the mess up sometimes will produce the creative spark for a new idea.
Why do we have the Discord server?
Exactly.
Because I understand it's all remote, but people are in it constantly talking to each other.
It is taking a brain and a brain and drawing a line between the two of them.
Why do we want coffee shops?
Exact same thing.
What we're doing with Rumble Premium and the network effect?
Same exact thing. What we're doing with Rumble Premium and the network effect, same exact thing. Connecting Steven Crowder's Mug Club with the TimCast Premium members,
connecting those lines, building as many neuron connections as possible.
When you are working from home, you are not producing the maximum and your conference calls
are fake. They're fake. Sorry. It's just not real. The reason why we don't do Zoom calls for this show is that you cannot effectively communicate over the Internet.
Impossible.
Anytime I do streams like on other days where I go on other people's shows, it's always harder when it's done digitally.
Yep.
Way harder.
It's not that it's impossible.
No, no, no. It's like the connection is still there, but it would have been like anytime we have those experiences,
I'm like this would have been way better if we were all in the same place where we were doing it.
So the discord basically takes all of the audience members that are interested in becoming active
participants in the news. They join up and now there is a central location where while this is
remote, still the point is being made. They are now digitally in the same space talking the whole
time. And while the show's going on before the show, after the show shows like seen Oski's pop up
quite part podcast. These these things emerge from those networking effects. There's a guy right now
sitting in his living room and he's like, I'm never going to get up or do anything. I really
wish that I could make a comic book. I have a ton of great
ideas for comic book characters, but I can't draw. Sits in his living room. That's the end of it.
One day he decides to join the TimCast Discord server and he does. And then he just types in,
I have this really great idea for a comic book, but I just can't draw. A guy responds, I can draw.
Let's chat. They move to a private message and the guy says, what's your idea? And he goes,
here's my here's my script. And the guy goes, bro, I will draw this up.
A week goes by and there's a rough outline with sketch drawings showing the whole comic.
And it's like, wow, the guy who draws says I never could have come up with this idea.
The guy who wrote the story says I could have never have drawn it.
That's network effect.
You have to work together.
Conference calls will never pull that off.
Sitting at home.
No way.
Homie is sitting at his desk editing a video while other homie is coding.
And then some guy looks at his phone and sees a funny meme from Elon.
He turns around and goes, yo, did you see this thing that Elon just did?
And the other guy goes, whoa, I didn't see that.
What is that?
Then he shares with other people.
Then someone comes to me and says, bro.
And then we're like, we should film something where we make fun of this.
Can't do that when you're working from home.
Anyway, let's grab some more super chats.
Jason Dixon follows up saying,
my previous superchat is from my wife.
I will also add
that, and I mean this
not as a disrespect to any woman,
I would not be surprised to find that women
are the principal pushers of wanting to work from home
and that women generally want to be
home more than men.
Yep.
Let's go.
Steel Fang says,
tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of 14 days to flatten the curve.
I'll never forget nor forgive.
Indeed.
Bill Dother says,
when are y'all having Ronnie Radke on?
I mean, Ronnie Radke's great,
but Ronnie Radke's a busy guy.
Too busy for you, Phil?
I mean, I'll shoot a message.
I can't make any guarantees, though.
Yeah, I always say this
because everyone's always like,
why don't you get high-profile person on?
What about this high-profile person?
I'm like, bro, those are all very busy people.
We do have high-profile people periodically.
And I mean, no disrespect
to any of our other recurring guests
or anything like that.
We have – who do we got next week?
We've got Brad Pitt, Bill Murray, Tom Cruise.
No, I'm just kidding.
None of those.
And you brought me out today.
Come on.
You could have done the Bill Murray day for me.
I would have been okay with that.
It would be great to get Bill Murray.
Yeah.
It would be great to get Ronnie,ray yeah yeah it would be great to
get right ronnie but like i mean really like they're they're playing shows that are like
15 20 000 people so he's got a full plate you know beef nasty says talking about guns and movies
the town with ben affleck uses a dsa sa 58 osw carbine a gun made by an illinois company in lake
barrington was that they fantastic people. Was that a component
of the movie?
They mentioned that in the film or something?
I don't think so. That is a great movie, though.
The Town? The Town. One of his best.
Yeah. Also, you should go
watch The Accountant, because The Accountant 2
is coming out soon. It's going to be freaking awesome.
Ben Affleck's great.
I think his best work might have been Daredevil.
Yes.
2003? Well, no. If you really best work might have been Daredevil. Yes. 2003.
Well, no.
If you really want a meme, you say Gigli.
Have you been watching Born Again?
Yes.
It's not.
I'm upset.
It's already boring.
Well, I got really excited for episode two after Daredevil messes up those bad guys.
Just not to spoilers.
And then I was expecting, I was i was like whoa he's in trouble now
how will this resolve and the courtroom drama it just didn't it just didn't resolve the episode
just starts and i was like wait no this can't be our superhero was in the midst of battle and then
the next episode is just not there's none the uh the um the actor who plays white tiger died in
2023 so those episodes were filmed a lot.
Whoa!
Died of cancer in 2023.
How long ago did they film this?
So episode two was done by the original showrunners, Chris Ord and Matt Corman.
Three years ago?
At least, yeah.
I mean, everything else after that's supposed to be done by the new showrunner, but all the stuff with White Tiger was done—
So wait, this whole show is actually
three years old? I mean, those
first couple of episodes are, but everything
after that was done after the first one. So you're saying
in the next episode that comes out, Daredevil
is going to be three years older and he's going to have gray
hair and be fat? Probably.
And he's going to be like, nothing changed.
What happened was
they shot six episodes, they
brought it to Disney and Disney's like, this is garbage.
We have to change course.
And they changed course and created Born Again.
The showrunners of the initial six episodes were like half comedy, half drama guys.
They did the show Covert Affairs.
And then they fired them and brought on the guy who's doing it currently.
So they went through major rewrites.
But most of episode two, you'll notice episode two had a vastly different feel than episode one.
It's because it was.
Chris White says,
Tim,
you talk about the Bible often enough.
I think you should have someone on to discuss the accuracy of it.
An excellent source of this would be Cliff Nettle.
Is that how you pronounce it?
You would really enjoy the talk with him on the culture war.
We would.
That would be fun.
Let's go. Is the goal of the bible to be actually accurate or is more to kind of give people a map for how how to to live
you guys are trying to spark a real you got to ask a theologian phil because i don't know if we have
anyone here where's mary when we need her all right king dave the third says hey tim cast long
time listener here i'm a single dad of twin seven year olds on dialysis.
Our well ran dry and everything would help.
Or our give send go is Turpin Well Fund.
Love you guys. That's T-U-R-P-I-N.
Well Fund. Best of luck. I'm sorry to hear it.
I hope everything works out for you.
The Clayway says, is Pam Bondi over 40?
You know, Trump likes blondes.
When Pam Bondi walked out with Trump at the DOJ, you saw this when she was walking to do the press conference or whatever.
I looked at Allison and I was like, she's 60.
And she went, what?
It's ridiculous.
She's like, that?
I'm like, Pam Bondi is 60.
Is she 59?
Something like that.
She's really, it's 59 or 60.
And she looks incredible for that age. We were talking about that. She's really, it's 59 or 60, and she looks incredible for that age.
We were talking about Gwen.
She's 59.
We were talking about Gwen Stefani because she's into hot water for reposting a Tucker Carlson interview with Jonathan Rumi recently, and she's 55.
You know, I'm.
No doubt it was that long ago.
I'm not a big fan of Gwen Stefani, but nothing personal.
It's just her music doesn't really.
No. I like, what was it? It's just her music doesn't really... No.
I like, what was it, Return of Saturn?
I don't know.
The song New I like, but what I don't like is too much of her vocal...
I'm not a fan.
But, based, she is...
Didn't she do a Halo ad?
Yeah, and the fact that they didn't make a Halo Batgirl ad is criminal.
You guys are leaving money on the table.
I don't know.
They probably thought about it and then they were like, we will lose so much money.
But she reposted an interview of Jonathan Rumi with Tucker Carlson and a bunch of normies were like, you're a Nazi.
But she's Catholic, isn't she?
Yes, she is.
No, she's a Christian.
I don't think she's denominally Catholic. Oh okay all right what do we have what does this say scrapjaw says nosky's
beard grants advantage role to wisdom to anyone who inquires thank you tim for supporting the
content creators of the discord community indeed because i it when I say, if we are going to win a culture war, we can't just have Steven Crowder, Tim Pool, and people over here. The Discord server
is to take that audience and connect them all so that you create a neural network of culture
and ideas and creativity. And then, of course, through Timcast, we promote them and shout them
out and try. and that's why
the culture war is going to have a live component with members of the discord so we can do this once
a week and actually have i mean it's gonna get crazy i mean honestly i'd like to come out and
be in the audience to take part in that sometime because absolutely absolutely uh anytime and i
imagine sometimes we're gonna get some crazy people we we do have a lot of crazy
people in your discord Tim they exist and they're allowed to be crazy I always say the problem with
Twitter when they were censoring everybody was that they said you can't post this thing because
it's wrong or YouTube and I'm like the problem is you're basically saying you're not allowed to be
stupid like if the argument from YouTube is you're posting misinformation you're not allowed to be stupid like if the argument from youtube is
you're posting misinformation it's like you are telling stupid people they aren't allowed to talk
about their stupid ideas i'm not okay with that i don't like that people are stupid i want them to
not be stupid anymore but you as a human being have a right to express your ideas because it is
only the stupidest person who thinks they're smarter
than everybody youtube yeah but i actually want the stupid people to post their opinions more and
more because then it gets out there further and then everyone else knows they're stupid i don't
have to call them out anthony t shroud says hey tim your alternate version of harry potter is
similar to the plot of season one of avatar legend Legend of Korra. Group says benders are keeping them down while the leader is secretly a waterbender. For those that
don't know, the other day I was saying that J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter was basically magic Hitler.
It's like the wizard who says, only pure blood wizards. And then it's like, you're my blood.
And like, we get it. You're a white supremacist. But she needs to do communism now because fascism has been done.
Nazism has been done.
So she needs to do a series where non-magic people develop technology.
And of course, governments know about it.
And they just like airdrop into Hogwarts during the sorting ceremony with guns are blasting the professors.
Bang, bang.
The professors can't do anything.
And then they're like casting magic against the guys, these soldiers, these troops.
But the magic just bounces off their technology, you see.
And then what happens is it's led by a private military contractor who's worked with governments where he's like they have people who have magic powers who have teamed up with them to give them advanced tech combined with magic under the ideology the the ideology that that that there are people
with magic and and uh those without is oppression and the magic people oppress the unmagic people
and then the villain is trying to eliminate magic people from the planet well so i read about it in
hogwarts of history i am a harry potter nerd technology does not work at hogwarts the way
it would actually work anywhere else.
And so what happens is in my storyline is that several witches and wizards team up with various governments and through research and technology combine modern tech with magic to surpass the protections of Hogwarts to defend themselves against magic.
Well, because the nature of magic in Harry Potter
indicates that there is a logic component to it.
The energy put into it, to do the Patronus,
you must think of something happy and then
shite the charm or whatever, and the thing happens,
means there is a if this, then that to it,
meaning it can be researched and exploited.
The Patronus is actually how we got furries, Tim.
Indeed. Making deeter from their wand.
They do make the government ultra-sensorious in those books, though.
Indeed. But the reference the person's making is that in The Legend of Korra,
benders are people who can manipulate elements.
So some people can do water, fire, air, earth.
And there's people who think no one should be able to do it because they oppress those who don't.
They can take jobs that pay more money because they have advantages over other people.
And so this dude, he can grab their forehead and then take away their abilities.
But it turns out he had powers the whole time.
That's communist for you.
What do we got here?
Let's grab some more of these.
What do we have here from Sydney?
MA cases.
Hello from Sydney, Australia. It's
midday on Saturday the 15th of March. From the future.
Love the work you and your team
are doing for the culture shift. Thank you very much.
Sick.
Best of luck out there under your totalitarian
regime.
Indeed.
Okay, where are we at? James Jones
says, for the standard
XKCD strip, Google Little Bobby Tables. Oh, yeah. where are we at james jones says for the for the standard xkd xkcd strip google little bobby tables
oh yeah that's funny that's how you understand uh
a sequel injection so it's uh
here's the comic hi this is your school uh this is your son's school. We're having some computer trouble.
Oh, dear.
Did he break something?
In a way.
Did you really name your son Robert?
Apostrophe, parentheses, semicolon, drop table students, colon, dash, dash, question mark.
Oh, yes, little Bobby Tables, we call him.
Well, we've lost this year's student records.
I hope you're happy and hope you've learned to sanitize your database inputs.
Very esoteric humor.
I love it.
The other really great thing from XKCD is cytogenesis.
You guys know that one?
Cytogenesis?
Yeah.
Cytogenesis?
Let me show you.
Cytogenesis step one.
Through a convoluted process, a user's brain generates facts that are typed into Wikipedia.
The scroll lock key was designed by future Energy Secretary Stephen Chu in a college project.
A rushed writer checks Wikipedia for a summary of their subject.
U.S. Energy Secretary Stephen Chu, parentheses, Nobel Prize winner and creator of the ubiquitous
scroll lock key, testified before Congress today.
Surprised readers check Wikipedia, see the claim, and flag it for review.
A passing editor finds the piece
and adds it as a citation.
Google is your friend, people.
Now that other writers have a real source,
they repeat the fact.
So this literally happens.
This is the state of media based on blogging,
and it's psychotic.
