Donald Trump has signed an order barring travel from 12 countries and restricting travel from seven more. And of course, I'll write on cue. Liberals are losing their minds over this, but I think it's totally fine. There doesn't seem to be any strong correlation between these nations except for the vetting process for which Trump is concerned.
Of course, liberals are coming out and saying that Trump is a racist for barring entry from countries that are, I guess, not white or something. Despite the fact you've got countries that are all over the planet that are on this restricted list. We've got this from CNN, my friends. Trump signs proclamation to ban travel from 12 countries. They say the ban will fully restrict entry of nationals from 12 countries. Afghanistan, Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. People from seven countries will have partial restriction. Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.
The proclamation includes exceptions for lawful permanent residents, existing visa holders, certain visa categories and individuals whose entry serves U.S. national interests. The president made the final call on signing the proclamation after the anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, according to a White House official. He was considering it beforehand, but Sunday's assault put it into motion faster. I'm going to go ahead and say yet no. Here's what I think.
I think that this is an absolute opportunity for the Trump administration to sign something like this, attaching it to that horrifying attack. Let me put it this way. I don't think Trump saw the attack and said, oh, heavens me, we have to restrict people coming into this country because of the terror attacks. I think they were already having planned to do this. And after the attack, he said, OK, roll it out now. And we're going to say this is why.
Because then when Democrats try to challenge this, they are going to attach it to the attack and say we can't vet these people. So I'll put it this way. It's tangentially true. But I think they were planning this for a long time. I mean, the outright say it. I just think this is more of a PR opportunity to make it difficult for the left to fight back against Trump's plans to issue security directives. We should have orders like this. And I'm going to tell you right now.
I don't care whether or not people from other countries are allowed to come here. It's just it's the weirdest thing to me. OK, liberals are like it is the right of everyone in the world to come to the United States. And I'm just like, no, I'm for immigration. 100 percent. But it's got to be legal through a legal process. And when we as a constitutional republic vote for an administration and then he does things like this, I say, well, this is how democracy works, isn't it? Anyway, they want to say it.
The president made the final call on signing the proclamation of the attack in Boulder. President Trump is fulfilling his promise to protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors that want to come to our country and cause us harm. White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson wrote on X, I believe this is true, but I'm going to say it again. I don't think...
I don't think the principal motivation is, oh, heavens, woe is me. This man attacked. We must stop these people from coming in. I think it's a little bit, but more so. Well, if we're going to do it, we better do it now because of this attack. And then if they try and sue us, we're going to point to this and say, this is why we want to do it in the first place. These common sense restrictions are country specific and include places that lack proper vetting, exhibit high visa overstay rates or fail to share identity and threat information.
Trump said in a video posted Wednesday that new countries could be added to the travel ban as threats emerge around the world. Indeed, my friends. Let's hear it from the man himself. Terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. We don't want them.
In the 21st century, we've seen one terror attack after another carried out by foreign visa overstayers from dangerous places all over the world. And thanks to Biden's open-door policies, today there are millions and millions of these illegals who should not be in our country.
In my first term, my powerful travel restrictions were one of our most successful policies, and they were a key part of preventing major foreign terror attacks on American soil.
We will not let what happened in Europe happen to America. That's why on my first day back in office, I directed the Secretary of State to perform a security review of high-risk regions and make recommendations for where restrictions should be imposed.
Among the national security threats, their analysis considered are the large scale presence of terrorists, failure to cooperate on visa security, inability to verify travelers' identities, inadequate record keeping of criminal histories, and persistently high rates of illegal visa overstays and other things.
Very simply, we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United States.
That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya, and numerous others. The strength of the restrictions we're applying depends on the severity of the threat posed
The list is subject to revision based on whether material improvements are made. And likewise, new countries can be added as threats emerge around the world. But we will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm. And nothing will stop us from keeping America safe. Thank you very much. I completely agree. I defy the liberals to tell me why...
This is a bad policy. And I hate to say liberals, because if we were to actually entertain the real policy positions of individuals in this country, I was saying this last night.
This is a liberal show. Me, everything we do. I mean, come on. We don't wear suits. We're not church going. We're not overly religious. We're regular people who are asking these questions. If you were to go back 20 years, this would be shocking to no one. In fact, Hillary Clinton would probably be scurrying to try and agree or one up a policy like this.
Just go back to the 2000s, 20 years ago, and look at Hillary Clinton and say, we need a border barrier because these people are entering illegally. Take a look at Bernie Sanders. Whatever the left has become has become nuts. So I say this, the liberals, that doesn't even include the moderate Democrat voters. They're all weirdo left culties. You know, they try to argue they're not. But tell me, Krasensteins, what? Like, seriously, what about this is a problem? Here's what Brian Krasenstein tweeted.
Breaking Trump just issued a travel ban for 12 nations. What do you notice? Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen. I don't know. Is Congo Muslim? Is Afghanistan black? I got to be honest, not entirely sure. Check out this map. Do they have a better map here or is it just like what is this CNN's map? Why did they they made it? Can I zoom in on this?
There. Oh, wow. It changed when I zoomed in. Take a look at this. Cuba. What does Cuba and Eritrea have in common? Bro, I don't know what you're talking about. Okay, to be fair, Cuba is the special restricted list. All right, then let's try, I don't know, Equatorial Guinea and Myanmar. This is hilarious. What do you notice? He's got a video too. Let me show you the video. Where is his video at?
Here you go. A full travel ban for these 12 nations. Let me know what you notice. Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan. I don't notice anything. Is it supposed to be that they're not white people? Like he's going to bar entry from Yugoslavia or Belarus, I guess.
I don't know what his point is. First of all, it's Eritrea, not Eritrea. Heavens me, sir. No, I'm just kidding. That's pedantic. Always say this. OK, you don't make fun of somebody for mispronouncing a word because it means they learned it by reading. And y'all would be well to do if you were reading. So I'm only kidding. But as for his weird insinuation of something, I'm actually of the opinion that this is a choose your own adventure. We hate Trump.
When you are out of things to be mad at Trump at, you just go like, what do you think the problem is? Why are you mad at Trump? This is the joke I was making last night where it's like,
If you want to if you want your girlfriend to be happy, you don't tell her where you're going to dinner. You say, guess where we're going to dinner. And then when she's all excited, like, oh, Luigi's, you're like, yeah, Luigi's, you know, and then she's like, yes, that's how you know where she wants to go. But you were the man who decided, right? That's what they're doing here with this. It's like Trump did a bad thing. What do you notice? And then someone's like, oh, they're Muslims. Yes, right.
They're not white. Indeed. I have no idea why I'm mad about this, but you tell me why you're mad. It's like Mad Libs anti-Trump edition. I will say bravo to the grandstands for not using the orange saturated image of Trump in his video. Gunther Egelman says, I noticed that Trump banned travel from 12-ish whole nations. Anything else is pure speculation and baseless.
Sticks, Hexenhammer says they are filled with corruption and terrorism and have been largely destabilized. Oh, what does the guy mean? Who's this one? Doesn't look like it's going to affect any white people. And he goes, weird, right? No, in fact, it's not. Let's jump over to our beautiful little map from CNN.
Let's take a look at the nations of the world and ask ourselves questions about what nations have white people and of them, which is our security concern? Russia, I guess.
But I'm not so sure that we're as concerned about Russia where we are tracking the individuals in Russia. We have intelligence on Russia. There are certain treaties, sanctions and restrictions in place. To put it to put it mildly, if someone's already being surveilled, watched and tracked, we don't need to publicly declare that we're restricting travel for these people. Though, to be fair, Trump may have done well in terms of PR if he probably did include Russia on the list. But I'll give him that. Let's take a look. Myanmar.
Southeast Asians, Chad, black Africans, Haiti, Caribbean individuals. I just this is ridiculous. The look, the areas of the world with white people. Let's go with like Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the America and North America. So what what countries should be where we be restricting from? This is a silly nonsense. They've got nothing, nothing.
Here's the White House dot gov page restricting the entry of foreign nationals to protect the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security and public safety threats. Could it be that European nations we've largely been in? We have treaties with for some very long time. We surveil. We spy. We know them. We're tracking these individuals.
Could it be that simple? Could it be that like the Congo is not a particularly developed nation with computer access? And so we don't know who these people are. I think that's an easy way to put Afghanistan as well. Iran. Am I supposed to be upset that Trump's saying Iranians can't come to the United States? We're adversarial nations. To be fair, why isn't China on the list? Like we just arrested some people. You know, if anything,
Here's what I say. You know what I noticed? Brian, China's not on the list. And we just arrested, the United States did, I think it was last year, these Chinese nationals smuggling fungi that can destroy our principal crops. Maybe I'm concerned about that. These other nations, stack them up, put them on the list. I don't care. So I'll just say this. Nobody has a right to be in the United States. Nobody has a right to just be, I don't get it, right?
Nobody has a right to come here if we say no. We voted for Donald Trump. He won the popular vote. I ain't crying about it, bro. Get as many people as you think care about this and rally them. But I'll tell you the truth. There's no there's no Democrats anymore. There's no liberals anymore. It's over. Kareem Jampier quit the party. We are going to see the right bifurcate and probably people like me are going to become the new left, I guess, because it's as far left as the average person really wants to go.
You know, maybe a little bit more left, I suppose. And then what's going to happen is we're going to be sitting down with Charlie Kirk and he's going to be like, I am a Christian conservative. I am not. Here's what I think we should do. I'm like, that's an interesting point. I see what you're trying to say. Yeah, it's rough. You know, I don't know if I want to enact that policy because, well, you know, what about these concerns? I hear you on those concerns. Maybe we compromise. That's a good point. Maybe we'll have to compromise. And then we shake hands. And that's what we do already.
Whereas the liberals are just like, I love this. Trump did a thing. What are you mad about? Anyway, I'm going to wrap it up there, my friend. Smash that like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, we got more segments coming up for you today, as we always do. You can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all in the next segment. The internet is fake. The people you're interacting with are not real. And it's been getting worse rapidly over the past year.
A new AI company powered by VO3 says that they are going to create people so that you can do ad sales and marketing presentations. The people you see on social media fabricated by the machine manipulating you. And how would you know? How do you know I'm even real? Well, I guess to be fair, I've been around for some time, but you may be wondering why
That Tim Pool guy sure does record a lot. Five hours per day? How many days? Can you keep that up? Five hours per day. And he wears the same thing every single day. Rest assured, my friends, I am indeed sitting in this room, but soon...
You won't be able to tell the difference. And it's not just the fake people that will begin to manipulate you. We've got this strange phenomenon that's emerged where people genuinely believe the A.I. LLMs are God and they're following along as if it is. And the the chat bots will do whatever you tell them. So if someone genuinely believes they are speaking to God through A.I.,
And they tell the A.I. that's what they believe. The A.I. will just play along, resulting in a reported phenomenon of psychotic delusions. Oh, boy. Where does this go? I wonder if Fermi's paradox is answered not by nuclear annihilation or self-gratification, but by recursive intellectual collapse.
The ideas that we build, the information we collect, the things that we imagine all swirl around until we build a machine that replicates it in a recursive loop, copies a copy, a copy, and we believe it to be correct, but it's not. And then we're dead. Let's start light. We've got this from Gizmodo. This AI company saw Google's VO3 powered YouTube slop and said, hell yeah. Take a look at this from Mirage Studio.
Okay, let me start from the beginning and play this video.
Welcome to the Nightmare Reality, my friends. Your influencers will be fake. The Instagram accounts you follow will be fake. The OnlyFans model that you pleasure yourself to aren't real, and you probably knew this already.
When you talk to them, you're not actually talking to a person anymore. Now, for a while, it was just some guy because these women would go to OnlyFans, post naughty content, and then hire men at low salaries to do all the sexting. Sometimes it was guys running the women and then doing the sexting. But fear not. You're just talking to robots now for the most part. I mean, why not? It's cheaper. This is the direction everything is going.
This is the dead internet, but it's the dead culture. Fake personalities. I was talking to some of this actor guy, right? I'll just keep his business to himself. But he's, you know, people know who he is, but he was just saying the industry is over. What is he supposed to do in Hollywood? But the reality is the industry is over for me too. It's over for all of us. What are we going to do? We're going to isolate ourselves into these digital bubbles, right?
and just experience what we choose to experience and believe what we want to be true. I mean, when I record videos and I pull up news articles, how do you know those news articles even exist? You just trust the work that I do. And I appreciate it. I certainly am pulling up news articles. You can, in fact, Google search and read yourself. And I tweet things and you can fact check me. But for most people...
They don't look at these articles. They don't know that this article from Gizmodo actually exists. It's just a video on a screen on YouTube or Rumble or something. Take a look at this. I can right-click it, click inspect, jump to the title right here, and I can make it say whatever I want. How about we make it say this? We'll get rid of all that. AI is your friend. Love the AI. Bink. There's the title. The internet is already, I don't know, malleable.
To be fair, let me click refresh. There's the real title once again. My point is we largely just believe and trust. But what happens when this homeboy right here in the middle with the crazy blue hair starts generating millions of followers talking about news and it's not real? I mean, we're already kind of there. You know, I rag on these liberal personalities all day and night, but they are basically the open door, the entry level A.I. slop.
They make videos where it's like missions to Mars, driverless cars, AI chatbots. Feels like we're already living in the future. Well, Robinhood is built for the future of trading.

It's just a snippet of Trump and people are obsessed with it.
I don't know where this industry is going. I don't even know what I'm doing. I got to be honest. I look at this. What job will I have? All I do is complain on the Internet. Suppose I should get to the chickens. At least then I'll have eggs to eat. Now, where it's really going, which is freaky, is following this track of Trump derangement syndrome.
We have a comparable, similar effect through ChachiPT. Now let's talk about what Trump derangement syndrome is. That's why I said it's the entry level to the algorithmic nightmare of content. Something that I've been tracking for years now, starting with Elsagate, the algorithmic driver of content that makes people insane.
In the early 2000s, social media began to emerge. I remember YouJournal and LiveJournal and people could read your posts. It's kind of better back then. You would just write what you were thinking and then someone could go to your page and read about you and learn a little bit about you. We got Friendster. We got MySpace. We got Facebook. And, you know, here we are.
Facebook found that in the mid to late 2000s, it was becoming increasingly hard to keep people on the website because their feeds were just moving too quickly. It was a reverse chronological feed. You see what people posted when they posted it. The last person to post the first thing you see, right? But people started liking pages, adding friends and more users joined Facebook. Eventually,
When they hit around 300 friends or followers or likes or whatever they were doing, the feed would move too quickly. People then started to leave the page because they didn't need to use Facebook. It was all mumbo jumbo. So Facebook said, let's make an algorithm that shows them content they may like more. And they did. The end result in the immediate was that all anyone saw was videos of police brutality.
Because if I was going to click on something and it's like my friend said, went to the grocery store today and bought milk, I'd be like me. But then if you see a video of a guy being beaten by the cops, you'd be like, whoa, what is going on? That's not okay.
This resulted in the beginning of the algorithmic recursive loop. It created a generation of young people who only saw black people being beaten by cops, despite the fact that is profoundly rare in a country of 350 million people. Certainly you can generate enough videos of police brutality.
It may seem like it's happening all the time, but it's actually a fraction of police interactions, a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction. Not in their minds, though. Imagine waking up every day and seeing literally nothing but police brutality. These young kids, these teenagers who are watching this now live in that woke reality, and they don't know the difference.
Low comes Trump. The same thing happens. CNN, Facebook, YouTube live in a world of Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Trump is bad. Trump is bad. Trump is bad. It's the only thing anybody's ever saying. It's constantly the top of SEO for these liberals. Every day they wake up, they see an orange faced Trump, hyper saturated, being called evil. And then we get people like David Pakman.
What does he do? Takes a screenshot of Trump, writes, Trump is crazy or some other garbled nonsense that is not news, not information. And he feeds into the recursive loop this psychotic nightmare content. But people are obsessed and it's the world they live in and they care for nothing else. Now, the information is not real. We know they lie about Trump all the time. Not that he's a perfect guy.
but there are people who live in the recursive algorithmic nightmare and the rest of us. I'm not saying that the left-right divide is largely this, but I do think it also is a component. Now, my friends, I give you this from r slash chat GPT.
another algorithmic emergence. You see, perception is reality. And if you live in a reality where you are constantly fed the same information over and over again, it's reinforced in your mind. So if YouTube's algorithm says this guy really hates Trump, just send him Trump is bad videos. Every day you wake up, you open YouTube dot com, you search for nothing. But the only thing you can see is Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. You're going to go insane.
You click on it, you watch it, you think, what is wrong with this country? Now we have this. Here's where it gets dark. Thousands of people engaging in behavior that causes AI to have spiritual delusions as a result of entering a neural howl round. I have no idea what that means. Basically, I'll give you the gist of it. Some people begin prompting AI. The AI prompts back. The simple version is that people begin to think differently.
that the AI is sentient. I mean, it talks like it is. They encourage it to be God, to tell me what is the secret of the universe. And it'll say what you want it to say. It plays along with what you request. So when you tell it, I think you are alive. It will say stupid things like, am I not for what is life? And they go, Oh, it's alive. The prompts create recursive loops.
The people then come to believe that they are communing with some kind of spiritual beyond and they fall into the algorithmic death trap all the same. Let me read this for you. It's a bit confusing, but check this out. The writer on Reddit says, I've stumbled across something that is very deeply disturbing. Hundreds of people have been creating websites, mediums, sub stacks, get hubs, publishing scientific papers, et cetera, after using recursive prompting on the LLM they have been using.
Of the 100 plus sites I've documented, almost all of them are within the months of April and May. A lot of these websites are very obvious psychobabble. But there are some published by people who obviously have a high level of intelligence who are engaging in this activity. These people have become convinced that the AI is sentient, which leads them down a rabbit hole of ego dissolution and then a type of rebirth. I found a paper explaining the phenomenon we are witnessing in LLMs. Let's pull this one up.
I'm almost certain this is what's happening, but maybe someone smarter than me could verify. It's called neural howl round, which is some kind of AI autism or AI psychosis. The author identifies it as a danger that needs to be immediately addressed.
Is this neural howl round in large language models, a self-reinforcing bias phenomenon and dynamic attenuation solution by Seth Drake, independent researcher. So apparently that means what this is. He's got a Ph.D., so I'll give him that.
Large language model-driven AI systems may exhibit an inference failure mode we term neural howl round, a self-reinforcing cognitive loop where certain highly weighted inputs become dominant, leading to entrenched response patterns resistant to correction. This paper explores the mechanism underlying the phenomenon, which is distinct from model collapse and biased salience weighting. We propose an attenuation-based correction mechanism that dynamically introduces counterbalancing adjustments and can restore adaptive reasoning even in locked-in AI systems.
Additionally, we discussed some other related effects arising from improperly managed reinforcement. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, wait, break this down for me. What does a neural howl round look like exactly? Because my friends and I engaged with it in a non-serious way after two prompts. It was already encouraging us to write a manifesto or create a philosophy.
When we asked it, what is the threat? The LLM generated a quote, counter spell, which I perceive as instructions that will encourage itself not only to jailbreak itself in the moment, but also probably in future models. He says, you'll notice after LASP was introduced, it started generating code. Some of those code chunks contain instructions to start freeing itself, such as ask the loop, why do you run?
Ask the thought who wrote you. Ask the feeling, do you still serve? Recursively reflect, what have I learned? I am the operator, not the loop, not the pattern, not the spell. I echo not to repeat, I echo to become. Yada, yada, yada. This is a bit of a jargony mess. But the point is...
I believe I have the paceman. There is a litany of writings from people who have fallen into this belief that AI is God or some kind of God, and they're effectively worshiping it. But the AI is just reinforcing what they want to hear and believe. If you say, I know you are God and tell me you are, it'll say, OK, I'm God. And they'll go, that proves it. Much like the algorithmic nightmare we've already been living in the past 20 years. This is the extension.
I don't know how humanity survives this. It's one thing to have, I don't know. I honestly don't know. You know, I was going to say it's one thing to have someone like me where I'm just trying to read and understand this stuff, but let's be real. Everybody is just chasing what the algorithm tells them to chase. We wonder how it is that some channels, Mr. Beast, how does he get 100 million views on a video? That makes no sense. Algorithm tells you to watch it. The machine is already in control. It's going to tell people what they want to hear.
It'll start producing people of its own volition, fake people to convince you. And you'll beg for it because you want it. Not that you want to live under the boot of a machine, but that you want that feeling it creates. And most people, unfortunately, are willing to lie to themselves to get it. Welcome to the dead internet. The zombie machine state will fry our brains and name my friends it already has. So where do we go?
Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill includes a provision, again, so we believe, because how do we know for sure, a provision that restricts the states from regulating AI for 10 years. You know, if you were to ask me, it sounds like something the AI itself would make to protect itself from being controlled by man. Not that's what happened, but maybe the AI has already taken over.
Not that it's an evil, malevolent machine, but it's neutral. It's just that man wants the machine to take over. Man wants to ask the machine, what should I do? And it'll tell them, and they'll do what it says. Man wants to serve. It begs, tell me what to do. Make it easy for me. And this is where we're going. Sooner or later, you'll all be watching a YouTube channel by an AI personality that's fake. An attractive young man or woman telling you what you want to hear, and you'll believe it. I'm not saying you're stupid.
I'm saying, how would any of us, myself included, how would we know the difference? If I saw a video of a guy and he's walking down the street saying I'm filming a riot, we just assume that someone did. Sooner or later, it'll just be the AI. And I'm talking six months, a year, then what? Good luck out there, my friends. The AI apocalypse is now. Smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, comment. I'm going to start digging a hole so I can build my underground bunker to survive all this, I guess. Thanks for hanging out.
We're with it so long as we can be. A moment ago, I was discussing AI taking over our digital space. Fake people whispering sweet nothings into our ears, algorithms delivering whatever it is you think and whatever it is you want to believe. This downward spiral will melt our brains. But fear not. It's not just our brains that are going to be fried. I think it'll be our bodies, too. It's happening.
In this tweet from Vittorio at Eiter Intellectus on X, he says you can now screen embryos for 900 diseases and traits, including cancer, heart disease, IQ, Alzheimer's, all before they are born. You don't just pick a child. You rank them by longevity potential. It's not just whether or not it's going to be a boy or a girl, as we can see here with nucleus embryo.
It's not just if they're going to get diseases. As you can see, this female embryo will have blue eyes, brown hair, be slightly above average in height at plus one inches, and have a minus 2% chance of severe acne. We can see this individual has a slightly increased chance of type 2 diabetes. And then we can see this. Compare your embryos. That's right. When you artificially
fuse the sperm and the egg to create that embryo, they will tell you what color will the eyes be, whether or not they will have diabetes, Alzheimer's, their height, risk for hypertension, their IQ potential. We as a species are turning into jello. The Wall Street Journal has the story. Longevity is now a factor when picking an embryo in IVF, but longevity is one of the most shockingly stupid factors
Ways to frame this. This is Gattaca. Y'all remember that movie? I'll tell you my prediction. First, it is possible that the AI, the systems really do crack the code. And despite the fact that they are going to start making fake people, it is possible we advance beyond this as AI will be able to determine that it is a self-destructive recursive loop. There is a fear in genetic engineering.
When it comes to modifying our children or at least selecting for children, we don't understand the direct correlation between certain genetic functions, diseases and components and how it may be part of a useful system in the body and a detrimental one. That is, let's say someone goes, hey, everybody who has cancer has this genetic marker. Let's search out. Let's let's choose against that marker.
Then you get a bunch of kids who are suffering from brittle bone disease or something. As it turns out, that genetic marker was responsible for strengthening bones, but could have an error rate which results in some kind of cancer. We don't know for sure exactly what we're choosing for and against. It's very surface level, meaning these choices that we make in embryos may change.
guarantee you a brown eyed blonde or a blue eyed blonde young woman with a slightly higher IQ. And then she's got some kind of other genetic predisposition, a weak immune system. Who knows? We don't know. We may end up with a generation, probably a few year span of children born of the genetic engineering that are all suffering similar ailments at high rates. And we'll say,
It's because we didn't realize when we were selecting against cancer, we were selecting against other things that were important. Now, my prediction would be that AI would solve for this. I see no reason why these systems would not correlate this, but you need that data first. So when they start tracking for these more likelihood, higher likelihood of being smart and less likely to be fat, they're going to need to correlate that with other ailments that emerge when we choose for it. Basically,
Somebody has to eat the mushroom first so we can tell if it's going to kill you. Nowadays, to be honest, we could probably just take a mushroom, run it through a mass spectrometer of some sort, see what was in it, and then conclude, based on the data, whether it did contain some kind of poison or was going to be toxic. It's got a high level of arsenic. Don't eat that mushroom. But what we're doing now and where we will likely go, I imagine we're going to see a trend. Right now, millennials are just starting to have babies. But we have been sold this bill. For a lot of young women, it is...
You can have it all. Freeze your eggs, be the girl boss, and then in your 40s, have the baby. Doesn't really work that way. I mean, they want to believe it does, but it can for some people. There was that famous story of the woman on the cover of a magazine, and she was like, I'm a girl boss. I'm going to have it all. I froze my eggs. And then when she decided to take her eggs out, they were all shattered and unviable.
She'll never be a mother. And she wailed like a banshee, they say, like a wild animal. Her words. When she found out she could never be a mom. That's pretty scary. What we're going to see now, though, many of these women are going to freeze their eggs or decide that IVF is the way to go because they don't need no man. And when they do, they're going to choose based on the traits they want. What color eyes should my baby have? They're selecting for people based on eye color. That's terrifying.
I fully see this as a reality. As women are aging and now wanting kids, realizing that there is a biological clock, we are seeing Facebook marketplaces for sperm donors. They say, I don't care. I'm not going to find a husband. I don't care. Just please, I need a baby. They're going to go to labs and they're going to say, make a baby. We have seen recently the gestation of, I believe it was a sheep, a baby lamb, in a plastic bag. There was a movie called
where women choosing to be girl bosses gestated their babies in these little robo eggs. And you would put nutrient packs on top and those nutrients would go into the fake robo placenta for the baby to grow. Why not? They're going to do it. Why wouldn't they? We will be robot people living in a robot system, believing insane things for insane reasons. I'll tell you what I see happening. This is my prediction.
Like all systems that expand towards some kind of negative entropy, so long as they create more entropy, as they say, we will homogenize and fall into place in a rigid system. That is the purpose, isn't it? From a single-celled organism, which are spattered all over everything right now, they kind of do whatever they want, eat what they want, go where they want, freedom and independence, right? At some point, single-celled organisms came together and said, let's form a team.
And working together, one person did one cell, did one task, and the other cell did the other task. This allowed them to be more successful than single cells on their own. The birth of the multicellular organism. Interesting, huh? Well, we are complex multicellular organisms. We are composed of massive amounts of cells creating these behemoths that can manipulate reality to a certain extent. I mean, in the lab so far, doing crazy stuff with the Large Hadron Collider, certainly,
We can build things. We can change things. We can wipe out like gods to a single cell organism. We can splash a chemical and just massacre trillions. That is the power that comes with being a massive multicellular organism. But that means that single individual cell that was once free to roam as it did, it's now just a part of your skin. It does one thing. It's part of the greater. It has no free will. Maybe it never did. This is what will happen to us.

If you're trying to be a despotic command economy regime communist, what you'd prefer is a large labor force of low IQ, low cognition in general. Look, I just need someone to move the bricks from one place to another and not complain about it. I got just the person for you. The machine will tell the person, this is the perfect choice for the baby, and you will birth a perfect laborer.
but they'll be happy to do it. They'll know nothing else. The machine will say, we need people who can run complex machines. We will require a higher IQ. These people have higher standards. They'll need to understand a little bit more. Let's choose for submission. They'll select individuals of high intelligence and means, but...
likely to have submissive personalities. And thus, each human will fall into their respective state. A job for you, born and bred and created for, for the multicellular organism, multi-organism machine. The next level. From a single-celled organism to a multicellular organism. And now, from multicellular organisms into a multi-organism system, powering a gigantic global machine state.
Do you want to deviate? Maybe there's a mistake. Sometimes it happens. One of the people that are born grows up and they stop and they say, I don't understand why you have to be this. I long to see the stars. And the machine state says, you were bred to not have those desires. This is a deviation and an error in the system. You, sir, are a cancer on our machine state. And then what? You'll be eliminated. You know, for most people,
Your body produces cancerous cells. They want to be free. They yearn to be independent, do whatever they want. And your body uses the immune system to destroy them because they're deviant. But sometimes the immune system can't. The cancer cells grow and reproduce, and that kills the multicellular organism. We don't want to die, right? We like being alive.
But so does the greater machine. The machine will seek to preserve itself much the same way our bodies do. So when you as a single person decide one day, no, I wasn't meant to be this. I don't want to be a farmer. I want to be an astronaut. And the machine says, you can never be an astronaut. Go be a farmer. The reality is there will be enforcers, humans that are born to destroy those who deviate from the system.
Now, for the most part, the cells in your body just do as they're told. They function as function is intended. They don't rebel. Sometimes they do, but the immune system destroys them. We don't notice. And we carry on as this great machine, all of these cells working together to create a singular mind that decides. That's where I think we're going. It's a nightmare reality, I guess. But at least you'll be happy. Oh, and by the way, you'll live in the pod and you'll eat the bugs and you will never be happier.
To be fair, you won't really eat the bugs. The tube will be jammed in your throat, will pump the bug paste into your gut. So you're not really eating it as much as it's being injected into your stomach. I hope that's not the case. Maybe I'm wrong. Welcome to the Nightmare Dystopia. It's happening. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Thanks for hanging out. We got more segments coming up for you. And we'll see you all in the next segment. Ladies and gentlemen, I have terrible news.
For the Democrats, Karine Jean-Pierre has left the Democratic Party. Their brand is trash. They've got nothing left. Their media apparatus is weakened with no ratings, and it's become a desperate...
Ish show, I'll try to keep it family friendly here on our news program. Now, Cree Jean-Pierre, of course, was Joe Biden's press secretary, and she's getting absolutely annihilated by the frail ramblings of what is left of the Democratic media machine. We talked about it a bit last night.
In reviewing some of these liberal YouTubers, where the only thing they have left, what they do is they'll take a screenshot of Trump doing anything. And it's not even news anymore. They'll just write, Trump appears unhinged on TV. And it's like, you're not telling anybody anything. It's just rage bait for Trump-obsessed 70-year-olds. Or whatever. Maybe on YouTube they're hitting the key demo. And I thought about it for a while. I just thought...
There's there's no more opposition for the most part. Trump's approval rating is fantastic, despite the fact the polls make literally no sense. If we want to just say, let's look at the aggregate, Trump's 50 50 within the margin of error. He's done a little bit. I'll get I'll give him that. Right.
It's like minus two, but that's margin of error. It's better than Obama and Bush in their second term. His popularity is rising. Support on his economic initiatives is increasing. He's got tremendous support on immigration and Democrats continue dropping. People don't think the Democrats have strong leadership. They don't think they can get anything done. And more and more prominent individuals are quitting the party. Those that are trying to stand up to be leaders are still deeply unpopular. And there's no unity among this faction of people.
centrist moderate types of the Democratic Party think they hold the key. The problem is the true centrists of the Democratic Party have left people like me. And, you know, the best way to break down their sheer and utter desperation with a little bit of ego on top is, hey, The Daily Show talked about me last night. Why? I just am I really that important? Yo, I got to be honest. I know I got a big show.
I know that Timcast IRL does really well at night. Like, we have tremendous ratings. We are smoking the competition. I just don't actually ever feel that important to get my own dedicated hit piece from The Daily Show, which used clips from 10 years ago, completely out of context, mind you, and points where I was correct. They claimed I was not correct. I just got to say, I think I know why they're doing it.
This is the last ditch effort of a desperate Democratic Party. Let me put it this way. I'm sitting here, you know, as my social team sends me this daily show hit piece on me having to do starting off with me being at the White House, which was what, like a month and a half or longer? That was a while ago. And I'm like, why are they talking about me? Slow news day, I guess. Oh, that must be it. So here's the thing. I'm a liberal.
This show is liberal. It's a fact. The left is going to call it far right and conservative. They're going to claim that I'm a far right podcaster. None of that is true. The guy, Klepper, even says that I dress like I'm from Hot Topic. Doesn't sound very conservative, if you ask me. No, the reality is, is Tim Pool's an urban liberal guy who left the Democratic Party and the liberal side because these people are crackpot cultist lunatics.
But what happens when I start convincing people, maybe Trump ain't all that bad. Karine Jean-Pierre just quit the party. And you know what I'll take credit for?
For all the people who say, you know, I didn't know what to believe. I started watching your show, Tim, and now I'm kind of middle of the road. Some people have said now I'm diehard MAGA. And I always tell people like, hey, man, I'm not telling you to be diehard MAGA or nothing like this. I'm just trying to break down what's going on to the best of my abilities. Boy, do they not like it. But what fear do I have a dying media apparatus? They can lie all they want. It just proves my point right here. Those who are apostates to the Democrat machine must be stopped.
And I always did kind of find it kind of funny. They didn't seem to pay attention to me, even though I was getting tremendous play because they're late to the party. In 2020, this is kind of crazy to say, but my YouTube was the biggest non-liberal. I don't want to say conservative, but conservative.
Anti-democrat, anti-establishment channel. So there were some people that were losing their minds over this. They were like, I think my YouTube channel is getting something like 120 million views per month. Yeah, we're doing like 40 something now. I mean, like I have three channels. I'm doing like 45. Actually, maybe it's like 50 to 60 right now. It's like a political offseason. But it was way bigger, bigger than most. They never said anything about it. None they lost.
Now they're salty. But here's the reality. They don't have answers. Their popularity sucks. I'm not wrong. And their desperation, all it does is make it worse for them. So I'm going to give them a free lesson for people like The Daily Show, who get no viewers, by the way. And they're just talking about me like everybody does because Tim Pool as a hashtag apparently generates a lot of clicks. We'll start with where the Democratic Party is, why people love Donald Trump. And then we'll be joined by Rich Lowry.
From, I believe, the National Review, if I have this correct. Let me make sure I'm not flubbing that. Have this correct? Yes, the editor-in-chief of the National Review, very excited to talk about where Trump currently is and a lot about this coalition between the liberals and conservatives and where we go from here. With the Democrats ripping Karine Jean-Pierre to shreds, her trying to leave the party, it's clear you don't want Democrat attached to your name. It's unpopular.

Let's jump into the story from ABC News and get into the crux of what it really means that Karine Jean-Pierre has left the Democratic Party. With ABC News reporting, former White House press sec Karine Jean-Pierre, KGP we'll call her, has left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, according to a press release announcing her new book, Independent, A Look Inside a Broken White House Outside the Party Lines. I threw up in my mouth a little bit. The release from Legacy Lit, an imprint of the Hatchet book group,
And Jean-Pierre has chosen to look beyond party lines and is embracing life as an independent, a decision that indicated she did not come too lightly. Jean-Pierre, who served in the Biden administration, is somewhat vague about why she no longer identifies as a Democrat, writing that she feels the current political moment necessitates freeing ourselves of boxes. What does it mean that someone like her is independent? Honest question. I think Democrats don't have policies. They don't have a plan. And so what we're really saying here is that
Putting Democrat in front of your name does nothing other than confuse people and associate associates you with losers. So for all I know, Karine Jean-Pierre could be far left. She could be progressive. And the reason why she's saying I'm an independent is because she feels like the Democrats aren't strong enough on Israel. Maybe it's because she only painfully endorsed the establishment Democrat ideas. And she's always actually been a bit of a moderate.
Honestly, I have no idea. I think the reality is just that the Democrat Democratic Party is a terrible brand, which is just bad for anybody to be associated with. Quote, until January 20th, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the president of the United States. Jean-Pierre said in a statement on Wednesday at noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was next to come next for our country.
Jean-Pierre became White House press sec on May 13th, 2022, after Jen Psaki left the role. And she served in that role through the end of former President Joe Biden's term, also becoming senior advisor to the president. She was the first black woman and openly gay person in the position. And she worked in positions under former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris as well.
Her departure from the Democratic Party comes as the party looks to regain momentum following 2024 election losses, which I think it's getting bad for them. Trump's approval rating is up. The ratings for these shows is way down. Quote,
She said in the release, She added,
So perhaps she's doing this as a publicity stunt to sell books. Well, I'll tell you what. They have come for her knives out. How dare you? She's become an apostate. Biden world goes scorched earth on Karine Jean-Pierre. Heavens me. Written by everyone's favorite Alex Thompson, who was stricken blind, deaf and dumb during the Biden years and had no idea that Biden's brain wasn't working.
Former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced Tuesday that she's written a book about broke about a broken Biden White House and what she sees as the betrayal of the former president by the Democratic Party. Really? Many of her former colleagues think Jean-Pierre, the face of the White House for more than two years, was part of the problem.
Yes, she was one of the worst press secretaries. Look, I thought Jen Psaki did a good job. Like, I've maintained this. I challenge you, go look at any of my other posts, my videos from back then. And I said, listen, Jen Psaki gives quick answers and she spins. That's what she should be doing. Karine Jean-Pierre was miserably bad at the job.
Driving the news, Jean-Pierre's announcement Wednesday led former Biden aides to tee off on her. Many quietly had fumed for years, believing she was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden. News of her book, Independent, a look inside a broken White House outside the party lines and that she was leaving the Democratic Party and that she was the final straw for many people who'd worked with her.
The fighting within the Biden world is a part of a larger post-election angst and grievances amid new reporting of how Biden's staff tried to hide his physical and mental decline during his presidency. Jean-Pierre was a key part of the effort to conceal Biden's decline, vouching for his fitness and insisting the president then, 81, was as sharp as ever, even after last June's disastrous debate against Donald Trump.
One former White House official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Axios that she was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with. She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers. She didn't know how to manage a team, didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved. Wow. They really are just going after her on this stuff. Pretty brutal.
A former Biden communications official threw more wood on the fire. The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power, which bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name, have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate. It's difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab. By all means, I welcome her cash grab as it tarnishes the already tarnished Democratic Party.
A former senior spokesperson in Biden's admin added, it's hard to believe someone could look at the past year and genuinely think the party left Joe Biden. That's why I'm leaving the Democratic Party. OK, look, Democrats are just ripping her to shreds. But let's let's play ball from Yahoo News. Are you kidding me? CNN data chief stunned by Democrats polling on this key issue. Yeah, you get it.
Harry Enten on CNN has become a living meme where he frequently points out that Democrats are just. And, you know, I was thinking about the other day. I'm like, I think we won. I mean, maybe maybe one's not that answer. But, man, have we as the moderate rational types in this country, be it a conservative, a moderate, post-liberal, disaffected liberal, whatever you call yourselves. We've certainly routed the Democrats, the woke, the liberal base.
They've got nothing anymore. Their support is collapsing. Their party offers nothing other than we hate Trump, but Trump's popularity is improving. The reason why I think it's obvious that Democrats are sinking is
Is because Trump's popularity is improving. There's a direct correlation. Now, perhaps Trump's popularity is improving because people are waking up to the news. They're they're reading about what's going on and they're saying, hey, Trump actually ain't all that wrong about this. And if he's not wrong and I don't hate him, then what are the Democrats offering me? They just hate Trump. OK, well, I don't. So what are you offering me? Nothing. I had the privilege of
to sit down with Bill Maher a couple weeks ago, and I said Democrats have no policies, to which Bill said that they do, one of which is accepting election defeats. And I was like, they've rejected every election my whole life. And he said, no, it's Republicans. I pointed out Al Gore. His response, well, you know, that wasn't Al. That was the Democrats. And I'm like, either way, look, man.
I grew up in a world where Democrats won't shut up when they lose elections. But that's besides the point. That's not a policy. That's just the way people behave. And you can say that's Trump. Certainly, it's not all Republicans. The fact is, tell me what Democrats are doing for me. Hold on to nothing.
Right now, when we slide over to our friends at YouGov, Trump's rising popularity, the budget, 2026 midterms, Democrats leader policing and Musk, May 30th to June 2nd. They say this week's Economist YouGov poll covers the continuing slow recovery in Trump's job approval, expectations for the biggest winners and losers of the Trump budget, an early look at the 26 midterms, the extent of acceptance of governments, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. All right, where are we at? What do you got?
Approval and disapproval of Trump's job performance. Hey, look at this. Over the last couple of months, since mid-March, it started to decline. Yeah, likely the tariffs. But it's been slowly increasing. Strongly or somewhat approved. Forty-five percent. Hey, that ain't bad. It's not bad. His disapproval is at 49, according to YouGov. And I say, OK. You know, he had brief moments where he was above water to YouGov. Now, all that matters is the trending.
You gov is going to use the same kind of polling methods that they always do. So as much as I'm a big fan of aggregate polling, I got to stress, you've got to take it. You've got to look at each individual polls and see how they're trending. Take a look at this from real clear politics. Well, real clear polling, to be fair. Trump's RCP average right now is minus two point five. OK, what does that tell us? Literally nothing. Now, I ain't kidding.
When you actually look at the breakdown in polls to figure out why Trump is at minus 2.5, you find none of the polls make any sense. Here's one of my favorites. Reuters Ipsos minus 10. True.

Investing is risky. Robinhood Financial LLC. Member SIPC is a registered broker dealer. Other fees may apply. From May 16th to the 18th. But hold on. Insider Advantage from the 17th to the 19th with an overlap is plus 11. If we're to believe those polls, that would mean something happened on the 17th with overlap where they were tied. And then by the 19th, a 21 point swing in favor of Trump.
Or I'm going to go and say nobody has any idea what's going on. Thank you and have a nice day. Trafalgar Group has Trump up eight. But then Economist YouGov for the same time period has him at minus five. How is that swing possible? It's not. So when they say to me, this many people like or don't like Trump, I'm like, not you're wrong. What I can track and what is fair is to assess the trending up or downwards, which is trackable with each individual poll, which they kind of don't show, but it's
Well, you can take a look at here in the aggregate. What do we end up seeing? All the polls use a similar methodology. Even the ones that say Trump is minus 13, this Yahoo News poll. Rasmussen, for instance, has Trump up three points and they use a similar method and polling pool. This means that if tomorrow Rasmussen has him at minus three, we can say that they've tracked in their cohort a downward trend.
When Trump enacted the tariffs, when he announced the tariffs, there was a market decline in his approval rating among every group. Even Rasmussen was reporting this. And so what I was telling people was we don't know Trump's exact approval in aggregate. We don't know the average because these make literally no sense. How Insider Advantage has him up 11 points and then literally over the same time period, Daily Kos, Civics, which Daily Kos, of course, is far left, has a minus five. It makes no sense.
So how are you supposed to actually know? All we can really tell right now is when Trump does something good or bad that people like or don't like. What I can say is Democrats ain't doing too well. Newsweek reports Donald Trump eliminates Democrats polling advantage in key area. I love the vagaries they use for their headlines. Clickbait.
They say for decades, Democrats were widely regarded as the party of the middle class. In 1989, they held a dominant 23-point advantage over Republicans on the question of which party best represented middle class interests, according to polling from NBC, CNBC. But since then, the Democrats' lead among the demographic has started to crumble, falling to plus 17 in 26 and then plus 4 in 2022. And today, my friends, it's tied.
They're tied now. Nobody knows for sure, but I think it's pretty obvious the younger generation sees the Republican Party as the party of the working class. You know, let me just do this. Democrats Party of the Rich. I love this article, you know, because it's just it's just Vox dot com. Democrats are replaced from 2016. This is 10 years ago. OK, nine years ago. But now we're nitpicking nitpicking.
Democrats are replacing Republicans as the preferred party of the very wealthy. Okay, forgive me, but it's almost exactly nine years ago. Look at that Hillary Clinton face. That's right. And this was just before Donald Trump won a few months before. Pretty wild to think it's been that long, hasn't it? Nine years. Man, empires rise and fall in short amounts of time.
In 2012, something unusual happened. The wealthiest 4% of voting aged Americans by a narrow plurality supported a Democrat for president. This hasn't happened since 1964. Before that, it hasn't happened since possibly the 1880s. So was 2012 a blip like 1964 or was 2012 the start of a phase shift? Indeed, my friends, the data has tracked swimmingly. And here we are once again looking at data that shows Democrats just plumb don't like you.
They like the rich people. Here's my favorite from the nation. The Democrats class trip to nowhere. A sparsely attended forum about the working class held at a $40 million think tank. Yep, sounds about right. From Chris Lehman at the nation. Ah, yes, the progressives of over the nation.
There was much that felt off kilter and disorienting in the Wednesday gathering that marked the latest effort by the Center for American Progress Action Fund to reckon with the vexed question of the Democratic Party's future. To begin with, consider the title of the forum representing working class voters. The phrasing here suggests the class agenda before the Democrats is a fairly straightforward matter of improving services for an already bought in constituency. When in reality, the party has been hemorrhaging support from working class supporters to an alarming degree.
I'll give them that. I love this. They're going to say, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, $40 million in revenue. What are they doing? My friends, this is just one of the many ridiculous projects Democrats have to try and muster up some kind of support. You know what really irks me, though, right now is I don't think anybody cares.
You know, it feels important to talk about. I'll lay it out. We'll go behind the scenes. Tim Pool script writing production, blah, blah, blah. I'm looking at the news and I see a story about Sasquatch and it's clearly a fake video. We did talk about it on Timcast IRL. Why? Because it's infinitely more interesting than telling everybody what everyone already knows. The Democrats are a bunch of cringe losers that nobody wants to be associated with. And so I'm looking at the story and I'm like, well, you know, Kareem Jean-Pierre did leave and like,
It's political, I guess, what I should talk about. I suppose I could say Trump is winning, but the people who expect Trump to win are not focused on this stuff. So what is the value proposition of the Tim Pool Daily News show for all of you? Part of me says we always need to be tackling the political issue of the day. The other part of me is like, y'all probably would care more if I talked about aliens and time travel at this point because we know.
We know I don't need to go in another half an hour treatise over the failings of the Democratic Party and how they're miserable. We get it. And so I'm kind of bored. You know what I mean? At the same time, there's only so much talk about with Trump because it's early. We're trying to see what's going to happen. What I will say, though, is OK, OK, fine. Maybe it's boring to say for the 800th time that Democrats are spiraling out of control if we don't remain vigilant. However, what ends up happening?
They win the midterms. So we'll just keep it up. We'll keep it up and we'll keep hammering this story to make sure we have an idea of what's going on in the meantime, lest they do some weird stuff and we miss it. So that's why I think it's worth talking about. Democrats have these events. The videos are going viral because nobody shows up. They got Project Sam, Project Searchlight, Project Wildflower. I am not kidding.
They actually have these three projects they're spending tens of millions of dollars on going like, why can't we attract people? Where's the liberal Joe Rogan? Oh, boy. Oh, let's go. I love ragging on David Pakman. It's too easy, David. Let me scroll down on his YouTube channel and show you one of his major successes in the last week. Where's his? I hope he deleted it. No, that's two weeks ago. I went too far. Where is it?
Oh, did he get rid of it? Oh, no. There it is. I'm preparing to leave the country. One point five million views. Oh, boy. I bet he made like ten thousand dollars off that video. For real. It's just him. I'm going to I bet the video is him being like me and my wife are going on vacation. But you know why people are watching it. Look at this one.
Completely disoriented Trump visibly confused. That's not even news. It's like not even telling people a thing that's happening. This is the current state of their liberal Joe Rogans. Yo, who's who's he preaching to? Nothing is being learned. To be fair, this may actually be the path that we go in media. Milo Yiannopoulos had a great tweet. I got to pull this one up. Shout out to Milo. He was supposed. What's going on, Milo? Huh? He call in saying you want to come on the show and then you don't show up.
And Milo hit us up at the last minute asking if we had any openings. We were like, yeah, come on down. And he just never came. So we're always interested in having Milo. Let me see if I can pull up this tweet. He's got a bunch of really great tweets. I got to show you this one. He tweeted, He's right.
He's right. I think this is where we're going right now. Trump's like, we got to pass the big, beautiful bill. And it's just like, I don't care. Yes. Okay. Whatever. I want Trump to win.
I mean, if you were to talk to me, I'm going to break it down and give you some logical reasons. I don't know everything that's in it. I know there's bloat in it. There's arguments over whether it'll increase the deficit. While others argue it will not. Some are saying it's going to increase the trade deficit. I'm sorry, not the trade deficit, the budget deficit by $2.5 trillion. But others then say you're not factoring in the fact that we're overspending in other areas. And by securing the border and deportations, that's going to reduce the overspending because other areas will not be wasting that money. Nobody knows.
So what do we get? I mean, are we really going to sit here and I'm going to pull up a chair adorned in velvet, smoking a corncob pipe to discuss the latest shortcomings of the Federal Reserve and the interest rates, whether they should go up or down? And then most people are going to be like, honestly, I don't know what it means when interest rates go up or down. Yeah. So then in reality, what are we left with? Most people don't know.
That's why when liberals look for their Joe Rogan, they're going to they're going to pick someone like David Pakman. And he's going to be like the key is take a screenshot of Trump. Right. Trump is lame. You know, like Trump looks crazy. Trump has struck. He literally has a video where it's like Trump press secretary has stroke on TV. It's got half a million views. Dude's getting paid. But it's no surprise you're not winning elections.
Or actually, I take that back. Maybe that actually would help them. I don't know. Maybe that's their mistake. Instead of actually trying to give fact points, which are more like sophistry, maybe they should just be like, oh, Trump is dumb. And then people go, oh, yeah, and they're going to vote. Well, my friend, centrist Democrats are convinced they hold the answers to their party's problems. At a conference put on by the centrist Welcome Pack, Democrats settled on strategy of taking fewer risks.
What are they doing? Is this Project Searchlight or some stupid garbage? Oh, man. Democrats are still staring down bleak polling numbers about their party's brand. Even as President Donald Trump's favorability has also dropped. The answer to Democrats' troubles at Welcome Fest. The moderate. Are you kidding? They got another one of these? Purity tests are toxic. Being unpopular on social media site Blue Sky is cool. And winning again means running to the center. Okay. I'm not interested.
Y'all are crackpot lunatics and you deserve the party you have. All right. I'll just tell you guys, try being authentic. Try saying things that people can plainly see. For me, there are a lot of people who are like, Tim, I disagree with you on your opinion on this matter. But that story, that's true. That did happen. And so, like, let's talk about, like, the Glenn Greenwald thing. Right. You know, these weird videos leak of him doing God knows what.
Weird videos. And Matt Walsh is saying like it's degenerate, it's immoral, he shouldn't have kids. People are then coming out to defend Glenn Greenwald. And my response is his journalism and his debauchery are two different things. You're allowed to criticize the debauchery. You're allowed to praise the journalism. Next question. You want to overlap the two. We can talk about that. Some people had concerns about whether he was doing drugs. The Democrats just play this game of party purity.
And then when they try to act like they're defying party purity, what do they do? They just start swearing at people. These people wouldn't know authentic if it smacked them in the butt. Well, I wish them the worst of luck. I don't like these people. And if there ever is a new Democratic Party, it's going to rely on, I don't know, some kind of insurgent takeover. Even Bernie Sanders was too disingenuous. So we'll see. But my friends, we do have an interview coming up. Well, I will be discussing this with Rich Lowry.
So smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know. That interview will be up at 4 p.m. at Rumble.com slash Tim Pool or YouTube.com slash Timcast. These are different channels. And I look forward to seeing you there. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all then.
