#1737 – Tim Pool

Joe Rogan and Tim Pool delve into a wide-ranging conversation covering the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the state of the media, the effectiveness of Ivermectin, vaccine mandates, the influence of Big Pharma, and the ongoing cultural and political divide. Provocative topics include allegations of media bias, claims of vaccine injuries, and the role of government intervention in public health. Underlying themes explore the complexities of truth and misinformation in the digital age, the growing distrust in institutions, and the challenges of navigating a polarized society.

Kyle Rittenhouse Trial and Media Coverage

  • The trial became a lightning rod for controversy, with many framing it as a race-based issue, despite Rittenhouse shooting white people.
  • Pool argues that the media, particularly left-leaning outlets like MSNBC and CNN, distorted the facts of the case, portraying Rittenhouse as a mass shooter, rather than someone acting in self-defense.
  • He suggests that the media’s focus on portraying Rittenhouse as a white supremacist stemmed from a desire to maintain their left-leaning audience and demonize “the far right”.
  • Pool highlights the inconsistency in media coverage, pointing out how Joe Scarborough, a professional news anchor, got significant details wrong, while many commentators focused on the legality of Rittenhouse’s gun, ignoring the criminal backgrounds of those he shot.

Ivermectin, Monoclonal Antibodies, and COVID-19 Treatment

  • Pool details his personal experience with COVID-19 and his recovery using monoclonal antibodies, NAD+, and IV vitamins, noting that the media focused solely on his use of Ivermectin.
  • He raises concerns about a potential coordinated effort to discredit Ivermectin, pointing out the silence surrounding Remdesivir, a COVID-19 treatment with reported side effects including kidney failure.
  • Pool highlights the lack of robust scientific studies on Ivermectin’s efficacy, but acknowledges that it has shown potential in vitro and in certain populations.
  • He questions the media’s narrative surrounding Ivermectin, arguing that it’s driven by a desire to discredit any treatment that challenges the dominant narrative.

Vaccine Mandates and Natural Immunity

  • Pool argues that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional and that the government has no right to mandate irreversible medical procedures.
  • He cites the CDC’s admission that it has no recorded cases of vaccinated people transmitting COVID-19 after recovering from the virus, questioning the validity of natural immunity being disregarded.
  • Pool points out the growing evidence that natural immunity may be more effective than vaccine-induced immunity, yet many governments continue to enforce vaccine mandates.
  • He criticizes the influence of pharmaceutical companies on politicians, arguing that the vaccine mandates are driven by profit rather than public health.

The Influence of Big Pharma and the State of Science

  • Pool highlights the vast profits generated by pharmaceutical companies during the COVID-19 pandemic, raising concerns about their influence on government policy and the push to vaccinate children.
  • He discusses the controversial use of Remdesivir, noting its potential side effects and its silence in the media, contrasting it with the intense scrutiny surrounding Ivermectin.
  • Pool points to the secrecy surrounding animal research, particularly the NIAID’s funding of pain research on primates and beagles, raising ethical questions about the boundaries of scientific progress.
  • He criticizes the lack of transparency and oversight in scientific research, arguing for public involvement in the ethical considerations of scientific experimentation.

Free Speech, Censorship, and the Rise of Decentralization

  • Pool criticizes the censorship of conservative voices on social media platforms and the arbitrary application of rules.
  • He advocates for decentralized technologies that empower individuals to control their own data and platforms, citing the limitations of centralized platforms like Patreon and Rumble.
  • He argues that the fight for free speech should extend to all individuals, even those with controversial viewpoints, drawing a parallel to the ACLU’s early defense of Nazi speech.
  • Pool points to the ongoing censorship of dissenting voices, particularly those questioning the effectiveness of vaccines, highlighting the dangers of suppressing information and debate.

The FBI, Project Veritas, and the Assault on Journalism

  • Pool discusses the FBI’s raid on Project Veritas, a conservative investigative journalism organization, alleging that the raid was motivated by Veritas’ investigation into the FBI and their leaking of classified information.
  • He expresses concern over the FBI’s use of counterterrorism tactics against parents protesting critical race theory in schools, questioning the motives behind such actions and the erosion of civil liberties.
  • Pool highlights the hypocrisy of the media in condemning the raid on Project Veritas while simultaneously promoting the FBI’s narrative.
  • He emphasizes the importance of protecting journalists’ right to investigate and expose wrongdoing, regardless of their political leanings, citing the precedent set by the ACLU and the treatment of other investigative journalists.

The Epstein Case, Elite Corruption, and the Influence of Big Money

  • Pool discusses the Epstein case, highlighting the connections between high-profile individuals, including Bill Gates and Bill Clinton, and the disgraced financier.
  • He criticizes the media’s selective coverage of the case, noting how they downplayed Clinton’s involvement while simultaneously amplifying allegations against Trump.
  • Pool suggests that the corruption extends beyond Epstein, arguing that wealthy individuals exploit their power and influence to engage in illicit activities, often using their resources to silence critics and avoid accountability.
  • He points to the role of social media fact-checkers in suppressing information that challenges the dominant narrative, highlighting the dangers of censorship and the need for open dialogue.

The Political Divide, Tribalism, and the Future of Democracy

  • Pool argues that the current political climate is fueled by tribalism, where people align themselves with a particular group rather than engaging in reasoned debate.
  • He highlights the inconsistency in Democratic voters’ opinions on issues like the economy, suggesting that their views are driven by party loyalty rather than objective analysis.
  • Pool advocates for a return to a more centrist approach, where individuals consider a range of viewpoints rather than clinging to partisan ideologies.
  • He expresses concern over the future of democracy, arguing that the growing polarization and distrust in institutions threaten to erode the foundation of a free society.
