Joe Rogan Experience #1737 - Tim Pool

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Okay, hello.
How's it going, man?
What's going on, buddy?
I'm so excited. It's been like a year and a half.
Nice to see you. Last night was fucking chaos.
You can't have like 10 people with microphones in a room in a trailer.
It was good, though, because Alex would just start screaming,
ah, if too many people talked at once.
So he was acting like, you know, that buffer.
Thanks for coming, man.
It was fun.
It ended up being huge.
We had like over a million people watch.
Really?
It was a cacophony of crazy voices.
And I don't know if anyone learned anything, but, you know, it was fun.
Just seeing Alex sitting next to Blair White and then you and me and Luke.
And it was just, it was wild.
Yeah, man.
Very fun.
Yeah, but seriously, thanks for coming.
When it came together accidentally because one by one,
everyone wanted to come on the show on the same day,
I felt bad for Blair White because we had originally booked her.
And then at the last minute, I can't remember who it was,
probably Luke, he was like, have you asked Joe?
And I was like, he's got a comedy show.
He's too busy.
But, you know, if you don't ask, the answer is always no.
And then Joe's like, yeah, I'll come by.
It'll be great.
Yeah, I worked it in.
I had a podcast before then, so we were with my friend Ben and we were hammered.
So we had been drinking and smoking weed and we went straight over to there.
So it was silly.
Right on, man.
It was quite silly.
So what's going on?
Well, we're sitting here waiting for this Rittenhouse verdict, right?
Which is apparently going to happen today, maybe.
And what's interesting to me is that people are framing this as a race thing.
From the beginning.
Well, and then many people are realizing now, because they're paying attention
to the trial,
that he actually shot white people.
Yeah.
Like, there's many people that thought that this Kyle Rittenhouse kid had shot
black protesters.
When, in fact, it was white Antifa rioters.
And then if you look at their record, they were all criminals.
Like, the people he shot.
They were.
That's a tough point.
You know, Joseph Rosenbaum.
And I don't know how graphic you want to get.
Because do you know this guy's history?
The first guy who attacked Kyle who died.
Do you know his history?
Yes, I do.
Well, go ahead.
Good graphic.
Graphic.
He anally raped children.
I believe he anally raped one little boy and he performed oral on several
little boys.
Apparently, he would try and date single mothers to sexually abuse their
children.
That was when he was a teenager.
And then he went to prison.
I believe it was for 15 years.
Now, the details here get murky.
I don't know exactly.
They say he got out of a mental hospital that morning.
This guy was not Antifa.
He was not Black Lives Matter, at least in my opinion.
I think this is a guy who was suicidal.
He was screaming, shoot me N-word, shoot me N-word over and over again.
He attacked a kid with a gun who was screaming friendly, friendly, friendly and
running away and then tried grabbing it.
And then within 0.739 of a second, Rittenhouse let off four shots as Rosenbaum
was reaching for his gun, as testified by Richie McGinnis.
And he crumpled to the ground.
And that's when these other guys, the whole mob, you know, Kyle runs for the
police and then the rest of the mob starts running after him like, get him, cranium
that boy.
Get him, get him, get him.
Anthony Huber is an interesting one because he's the dude who hit him with the
skateboard twice.
People don't know this because you'll hear from the conservatives like, oh, he
was hitting him with the skateboard.
And you see that photo of Rittenhouse on the ground.
Apparently, he hit Rittenhouse from behind with the skateboard before Rittenhouse
fell.
He grabbed the gun.
Rittenhouse fired one shot right into his heart, killed him instantly.
Gage Grosskreutz, the next guy, charged at Rittenhouse with a gun in his hand.
And you want to know where it gets really crazy?
Grosskreutz testified on the stand that he told police and he believed.
Kyle Rittenhouse said, I'm working with the police as he was running down the
street because Gage Grosskreutz was running alongside him.
Grosskreutz runs, runs back, turns around and runs towards him, pulling his Glock
27 out from his waistband.
That means Gage Grosskreutz, if he's telling the truth, and he's probably not,
believed Kyle Rittenhouse was a police informant or in some way working with
cops.
So he should draw his Glock 27 on this kid and run up to him, gun drawn.
I mean, that's a crazy prospect.
That's not someone's guy who got shot in the bicep.
Shot in the bicep.
Yeah.
This is not a guy who was trying to stop a mass shooter.
It's a guy who testified, I was trying to, what, attack a police informant or a
cop or something like that as in the trial.
Why do you think this has become a race thing?
Is it because it was a Black Lives Matter protest?
Man, this is crazy.
Let's call it what it is.
Is it a protest or is it a riot?
It's a riot.
It's a riot, right?
I mean, it seemed like, I mean, what was the scene?
Were they lighting things on fire?
Like, what was the scene?
Well, so I watched a lot of videos about it, you know, same as many people.
But I also interviewed seven different witnesses.
We've had them on our show throughout, right afterwards and throughout the year.
And we have a collection of all this footage from all these guys.
I mean, this was a pretty serious riot.
What, you know, when people say, like, why did Kyle Rittenhouse come out?
Why did he have to have that gun?
Well, buildings had been burned down.
But there was a viral video of a guy who looks, I think he's in his 70s.
I think he, I could be getting the details wrong so you guys can fact check me
on this one.
But he had like a mattress store that was on fire.
And so he rushes to it as people are just running through the store and causing
havoc.
And he tries to stop them and grab them.
And someone goes up behind him with a rock and bashes him over the back of the
head,
leaving him laying on the ground, bleeding out.
I remember seeing that video and just being like, holy shit, dude.
So you have to imagine, I mean, you're a kid.
So this Kyle Rittenhouse, he wants to be a cop.
He wants to be an EMT.
And you hear the police aren't doing anything about it.
Literally, the police were just staying far away as things burned.
Then you hear that his friend, Nick Smith, was offered money to protect the
businesses.
So they said, we need to get a crew together to defend these businesses.
And Kyle's 17.
He had a legal gun.
The gun was legal.
The judge ruled this.
And everybody-
So explain that because I thought he wasn't old enough to carry.
He, so in Wisconsin, there's an exemption for rifles and shotguns if you're 16
or 17.
It is believed the exemption is so that you can hunt.
Right.
But it's not specifically about hunting.
So open carry is, in Wisconsin, if you're above 18, is that what it is?
I don't know about open carry or-
Concealed carry.
But the ability to carry a weapon publicly.
Because this is publicly, right?
Right.
And so even though he's 17, there's an exemption that he's allowed to carry
that weapon because
of the fact that it's a rifle.
It's a rifle greater than, I think, 26 inches.
So if he was carrying a pistol, what he was doing was illegal.
But since he was carrying a rifle, it's legal.
So because-
Yes.
Because people kept saying that he was carrying it illegally because he was 17.
So that's not, in fact, true.
Not true.
And all the legal experts who were being honest about this from the first day
this happened
immediately came out and said he was legally carrying that rifle.
But I guess for the same reason people claimed Kyle Rittenhouse shot black
people, they claimed
the gun was illegal.
You know, I never heard anybody say that he shot black people.
But I think people just assumed that he shot black people.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, I don't think it was-
I don't think most people are even aware of the details of this case,
especially the people
that are- which is really disturbing.
The people that are commenting on it in the media.
Like Joe Scarborough got a bunch of shit wrong.
Fired off 60 rounds.
I mean, he just got a bunch of shit wrong.
Like so many of the details- wrong.
Like he's a professional news guy.
That's what he does.
He's on- what is he?
MSNBC?
MSNBC Morning Joe.
I mean, how the fuck does his- I mean, he must have fact checkers and-
You want to hear some shit?
I've been watching the trial live stream nonstop from start to finish.
I've been reporting mostly on- covering mostly this and reading legal analysis
from a variety
of lawyers.
There was a moment where it was really, really bad for the prosecution.
One of their star witnesses, one of the men who- Gage Grosskreutz.
He's the guy who ran up with the Glock on Kyle Rittenhouse, testified that it
wasn't until
he advanced on Kyle with his gun pointed at him, that Kyle shot him.
Right.
What did MSNBC report?
What did NPR report?
That he testified, he raised his hands, and with his hands up, Kyle shot him.
Yeah.
What the fuck are they doing?
Are they just lying?
Or are they doing it because- are they doing it for ratings?
Are they doing it because they're misinformed?
Like, what are they doing?
I'll try and be as fair as possible.
Some have suggested that maybe Gage Grosskreutz said, my hands were up.
He did say this.
My hands were up.
And then they write, Gage Grosskreutz says his hands were up as he was being
shot.
They sort of just did a bad job.
But I don't give these people the benefit of the doubt when, you know, I'm
watching this
trial, same as everybody else, and within the span of five, ten minutes, he
says, it was,
you know, the defense asked him, you pointed your gun, and then he shot you,
and Gage Grosskreutz
goes, correct.
If it was a mistake, they could have issued a correction and said, oh, he
actually testified,
he advanced on him with a gun pointed towards him.
Right.
So I have to wonder if it's a cult, it's ideological, it's the refusal to
accept you were wrong
and to perpetuate the narrative of your groupthink.
I don't even know if it's that or if they're just doing that because that's the
way they
get people to watch and pay attention, to reinforce this narrative that would
be the most inflammatory
and the most outrageous narrative, which is that this guy is just on a rampage
and we're
going to let him off because he's white.
You know what I think?
I think over the past several years, these media organizations, they found they
made a
lot of money hating on, you know, quote unquote, the far right and Donald Trump.
And so they embraced that narrative.
Yeah.
What ends up happening is your core audience who actually wants news eventually
grows wise
to the fact that you're just spewing out a narrative and they leave.
If you have a viewership that's 80%, you know, moderate news interested people,
and the only
thing you say is, you know, Trump is bad and the far right is bad, eventually
you'll lose
most of those moderates and retain a very left ideological group.
Now, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, that's their core audience.
If they come out now and say something honest, like, you know, it looks like
Kyle Rittenhouse
was acting in self-defense.
They're going to start losing even them and they're not going to get back the
people they
lied to.
That's interesting.
So it's almost like they dug themselves into a hole they can't get out of.
But to be fair, Chris Hayes did say it's starting to look like an acquittal in
all honesty.
But is he saying that because the judge is biased and it's wrong?
Or is he saying it because we're looking at the actual evidence?
Because the actual evidence itself, look, you know, I'm not exactly sure that
this is a
good thing that, you know, the news lies about all this shit.
I mean, I think it's terrible, right?
I think it's terr
