Shots were fired at Tim Poole's studio complex on Friday morning, but no one was hurt. What does this mean for the future of the show? And what does it have to do with the use of the N-word?
00:00:00.000Hey everybody, how's it going? Thanks for joining me this afternoon. I am Oren McIntyre. Crazy weekend here. Lots of stories. Shots fired. This time not figuratively in a debate, but literally at Tim Poole and his podcast. Fire broke out on Friday night. Still getting details in. We'll talk more about this, but it is not the only incident.
00:00:24.440We've also seen other conservative commentators like Matt Walsh and Benny Johnson. They and their families have been targeted. Once again, it looks like possible political violence. Again, we're still gathering information, but I'll be talking about the implications of that.
00:00:41.960Also today, I want to discuss the N-word. We've had two stories in the last week talking about what happens when we use this word as some kind of sacred blasphemy that no one can utter without triggering violence.
00:00:56.640We have one man who was acquitted of stabbing another in Portland, Oregon because that man eventually uttered the N-word and somehow this justifies the violence that was done to him.
00:01:10.080We'll also see a Cinnabon employee of all people having a rant using the N-word on social media. If this sounds familiar, it echoes in many ways the Shiloh Hendricks story. In this case, however, once again, far more than what meets the eye when it comes to the viral video.
00:01:29.800We're going to get into all of those topics today, but I want to start with this attack on Tim Poole.
00:01:37.300Now, obviously, I've been on Tim Poole's show several times. I've been to the studio in question that was shot at. I've been in contact with some of the people at Tim Poole's studio, and from what I have heard, it looks like they are still trying to determine whether or not this was an attack that was designed to hurt and kill people or if it was simply meant to scare people, create terror.
00:02:02.880Either way, what we know so far is that three shots were fired at Tim Poole's studio complex.
00:02:12.200They're not sure where those shots landed yet. They have not discovered necessarily all the ballistics.
00:02:18.880They are working with the police. The security team is there working with the police.
00:02:24.020But as you can see here, this was the original announcement.
00:02:26.600So we've got a little more information from Tim Poole about the type of attacks that are going on.
00:02:32.460Now, if you're familiar with kind of the ongoing struggle that Tim and others have dealt with over the last few years,
00:02:41.600Tim Poole has, of course, been swatted many times.
00:02:45.020This practice of calling the SWAT team and attempting to get someone hurt, saying that there's something going on.
00:02:50.160They need to go in guns blazing, hoping that someone is hurt or killed in the commotion.
00:02:56.240Obviously, at this point, the police know what's going on with Tim Poole in that area.
00:03:01.320But since that was unable to drive him away from continuing his show, it looks like we have seen a escalation to direct physical violence.
00:03:11.720Now, luckily, so far, no one was hurt.
00:03:14.640But obviously, that may not have been the intention when you fire a shot like that.
00:03:19.980And from what we've heard from Tim Poole and his team, it looks like the shot was fired late Friday, perhaps around one-ish in the morning.
00:03:28.640When those shots are fired, it looks like someone drove slowly up to the studio complex and opened fire.
00:03:36.360Now, very strangely, a lot of people are questioning this.
00:03:40.960It's really important to several different groups, I guess, that people don't receive threats of violence or acts of violence.
00:03:50.560For some reason, both on the, like, kind of mainstream conservative set and weirdly in some dissonant sets, I guess because Tim Poole is not radical enough for them, there has to be this idea that no one would do violence or it's all being overblown for drama.
00:04:24.720I am aware of the lengths to which Tim and his crew have gone out of their way to kind of put themselves in the middle of nowhere, make themselves a difficult target.
00:04:34.120And yet they still get a high degree of harassment.
00:04:37.280People have shown up to his previous studio and harass the people who now use it as a residence.
00:04:43.660He now has people showing up to the current studio.
00:04:47.240And Tim has announced at this point that it may be impossible for him to continue the show for a couple of reasons.
00:04:54.000One, Tim has a new family that he has to think about.
00:04:59.120He has to think about the physical threat to safety that is provided by something like this constant, you know, these constant threats, this constant attempts to SWAT and then now gunfire.
00:05:11.140He also has to worry about the price of security.
00:05:14.680Maintaining a constant security detail is extremely expensive, especially when it goes mobile.
00:05:19.940It's one thing where you can kind of set up your own house.
00:05:42.200You know, people aren't just characters that you see on the Internet.
00:05:46.300They're real people with real lives and families.
00:05:48.760And so when Tim is saying, hey, I don't know if I can continue to do this job, not because I'm even necessarily worried for my own safety.
00:05:56.680But as a father, I have a duty to protect my family, my crew.
00:06:00.640You know, he's in a scenario where apparently he has lost the ability to even work with like basic construction contractors in the area because people are so hostile to conservatives.
00:06:10.940That they will ultimately threaten to never do business again with that vendor.
00:06:16.240If they've also done construction work for Tim Pool.
00:06:19.700And so we're coming to this point where leftist violence is crippling the ability of people to work in conservative media at all.
00:06:31.560And of course, this isn't just a poor conservative media guys.
00:06:34.800Remember, the left is threatening Supreme Court justices.
00:06:38.100They are threatening the president of the United States.
00:06:59.700It kind of ended up being more Tim debating Joel Berry because of how angry Tim was.
00:07:03.700But I think justifiably so, because Tim is living in this world, the world where he is constantly receiving death threats from the left, where there's constantly this air of violence against him, his family, his crew and others.
00:07:15.760That makes it impossible for him to do his job because of what's going on.
00:07:20.900And both I and Tim were talking to Joel and saying, you have to understand where you're at.
00:07:31.060You know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington and makes an argument against the big bad guys who want to, you know, I don't know, shut down the mill or introduce some kind of socialist program.
00:07:41.600We're talking about straight up open violence.
00:07:44.720We're talking about the left being radical, being willing to shoot and kill people, political assassinations.
00:07:50.420And Joel said, no, no, no, we haven't gotten there yet.
00:07:55.540You know, Dennis Prager and, you know, Schoolhouse Rock told me that with enough debate, we can solve anything.
00:08:02.200And so, therefore, you know, we don't need we don't need to to focus on defeating the left.
00:08:07.820We can run around calling each other Nazis and fascists and we can try to cancel everyone in the conservative movement.
00:08:13.800That's where we should be spending our time, not fighting the left.
00:08:16.120It's more important to cancel and like focus on getting rid of other conservatives.
00:08:20.260And Tim and his justification, as Tim and I pointed out many times, I was like, look, man, in World War Two, you had to like ally with whoever to win.
00:08:28.760Like you have to win if things are existential.
00:08:49.140And yet here we are just a few weeks later after Joel denies the scenario and we're getting, you know, just stray drive by fire going at the Tim Poole's house.
00:10:15.340Now, I want to cover a few things because when this happened to people like Nick Fuentes, people ended up saying, oh, well, you know, he's a bad guy.
00:10:26.980I know his followers are crazy, and that's why it happened, and feel however you want about Nick Fuentes, but that felt like the Alex Jones canary in the coal mine moment, right?
00:10:35.960You had a lot of people who said, well, Alex Jones is just beyond the pale, so anything that is done to censor him and shut him down, that's fine.
00:11:23.160He's very mainstream, and it's time for us to disabuse everybody of this notion that it's going to be the extremists that they go after.
00:11:32.600Yeah, someone might go after Nick Fuentes, but at the end of the day, they're going to go after Charlie Kirk, and they're going to go after the Matt Walshes, and they're going to go after the Benny Johnsons.
00:11:40.340And you might say, well, I don't care.
00:14:49.660But the point is, ultimately, these guys are mainstream, which makes them effective.
00:14:56.240OK, the reason that crazy leftists want to hurt these guys is because they are the most effective actors.
00:15:03.620Sorry, it's not your it's not your small little niche podcast.
00:15:07.400It's not it's not the you know, the guys who are out there.
00:15:09.840Yes, they're important, but it's the mainstream guys that draw the leftist attention for violence for a reason, because they are ultimately they're standing on the biggest platforms with the biggest microphones.
00:15:20.940So when left wingers see these people, they don't draw a difference.
00:15:25.860They don't see a difference between Nick Fuentes and Charlie Kirk.
00:15:28.940They don't see a difference between Matt Walsh and someone else.
00:15:31.840They just see someone who says stuff they don't like, who they think is dangerous because everything that's not left wing, everything that's not gay race communism is incredibly dangerous.
00:15:42.020And therefore, that person needs to be eliminated.
00:15:52.900Charlie Kirk's murder could not have gone more perfectly for the left.
00:15:56.780Charlie Kirk's murder resulted in the loss of one of the biggest leaders on the right at a key moment.
00:16:03.460It tossed one of the most important organizations on the right, TPUSA, Turning Point USA, into complete chaos.
00:16:13.180It created a ignited a conservative civil war over all this stuff where everyone turned inward.
00:16:20.500And importantly, half the discussion was about whether there were actually fascists and Nazis hiding all over the right.
00:16:26.180And maybe maybe the left was correct and maybe it is just full of fascists and we need to hunt all of them down and cancel them and force them out of the conservative movement.
00:16:35.500That's what the left got out of shooting Charlie Kirk.
00:16:38.700Charlie Kirk's assassination might have been one of the most effective political assassinations in American history.
00:17:20.640And the fact that no serious action was taken after the Trump assassination attempt, both of them.
00:17:29.000The fact that no real action was taken after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
00:17:35.100The fact that no real action was taken after Antifa started to raid ICE facilities, shoot at ICE agents, attempt to bomb ICE agents.
00:17:45.280The fact that the left has felt no real pain over any of these things is extremely concerning.
00:17:51.840And now, after having to do battle with so much of the establishment conservative, you know, set over whether or not we're allowed to actually do anything and focus on the left or whether it's all got to be about who interviews who.
00:18:06.620And if there was a joke in a group chat that somebody doesn't like, after all of that, the left has just learned that shooting Charlie Kirk was really the best thing they could have done.
00:18:17.280And if you don't think that they're planning on more, all you have to do is look at what's happening now.
00:18:23.080Tim Pool being shot at, Matt Walsh and his family being threatened, guys showing up to Benny Johnson's door, Cat Turd's door.
00:18:30.340Again, you don't have to like any of these guys.
00:18:32.140You don't have to think any of these guys are particularly effective.
00:18:34.200But the fact that there is no action on these issues is horrifying.
00:18:41.100I'm sorry, running around after the fact and, you know, whacking a nail after these guys have threatened or shot at people is not sufficient.
00:19:08.300Do we know if this guy, I mean, it seems like pretty obviously this guy who was chasing down Matt Walsh and Benny Johnson had some pretty radically left-wing views.
00:19:16.100His choice of targets makes it pretty clear who he was targeting here, right?
00:19:20.820Unless we find out that he had an equal number of leftist commentators he was chasing down.
00:19:25.860But this is just not something that the left has to deal with because the right doesn't engage in this behavior.
00:19:30.780Because if they did, they'd be crushed immediately.
00:19:59.640He pointed out that he could go to a format, you know, more like my own where he just does solo videos, that kind of thing.
00:20:05.280He doesn't have to fly people in, share his location, make it clear where he is, that kind of stuff.
00:20:10.300But that destroys the format of the show, right?
00:20:12.540So you're basically saying, okay, well, you can only do certain types of shows because otherwise you'll be shot or your family will be shot.
00:21:47.620Oh, that's the Constitution doesn't allow me to what?
00:21:51.140Doesn't allow you to defend yourself from people who want to murder you and your children?
00:21:54.780I don't think the Constitution says that, but if it does, you should throw it in a trash can.
00:22:00.440If that's really what you believe about the Constitution, are you signing a suicide pact?
00:22:08.240When did you sign that suicide pact that said you and your children had to die so an Antifa member could plan your murder with free speech on Discord?
00:22:18.500Where does it say that in the Constitution?
00:22:34.820The Constitution does not prevent you from stopping your political opponents from murdering you or conspiring to murder you or announcing that you should be murdered.
00:22:45.220But if it did, you should throw it away.
00:22:48.280Now, I don't think you need to throw it away because I don't think it says that.
00:22:50.360But if you're dumb enough to let a piece of paper stop you from protecting your family from being murdered by political lunatics, then you're useless.
00:23:54.260That that's what they would do, but they're just announcing in case you had any concerns.
00:23:57.700The J6ers, the political pundits, the average person, they're throwing parents in jail for protesting abortion, FBI agents threatening them for going to school board meetings and protesting.
00:24:13.700All that's coming back, and it's coming back at 100%, 1,000%.
00:24:54.200Discord specifically censors and shuts down all right-wing chats, no matter how mild, but allows for the coordination of violence on their platform.
00:26:39.440If you ever thought it existed, it's gone now.
00:26:41.800And if you ever want it back, if you ever want to restore order to the point where you can have that type of politics again, you better get serious now.
00:26:50.140Because the left is only going to get more violent.
00:27:04.220So if you're not familiar, there's a little magical word.
00:27:07.960And if you say that word, black people can do violence to you.
00:27:12.840If you think that I'm exaggerating, let me tell you about this story.
00:27:16.700Portland jury clears black man of assault because white man he stabbed said the N word.
00:27:23.820Now, you might say, oh, maybe that guy said the N word and then a black man stabbed him.
00:27:28.220Now, all by itself, that would be evil because it turns out you shouldn't just be able to stab somebody because they said the naughty no-no word because they committed the blasphemy.
00:27:40.700If this man can stab people for committing blasphemy, why can't Christians?
00:27:46.280What is it about black people and this word that allows them to stab people?
00:28:39.460And even in the middle of a crime perpetrated by a random man of a specific race.
00:28:45.100Even in that moment, as you bled out, you would never utter the no-no word because the regime has told you that this is worth more than your life.
00:29:27.460Curtis Yarvin made an interesting comparison in his original blog.
00:29:48.920He said that one of the most interesting things the left ever did was invert aristocracy.
00:29:57.460And by that he meant, if you look at a set of people in a society, and they get special privileges that nobody else gets, that nobody else can use.
00:30:10.100What do you call that class of people?
00:30:11.940A class of people set apart who gets special privileges and allowances that no one else gets.
00:32:13.600In fact, this word is so powerful that even Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson was in the UK mocking Piers Morgan.
00:32:19.640And he said, and sadly, I can't say these words because of YouTube, but you didn't say the F-word for gays because you're scared about your government arresting you.
00:32:30.420And you won't say the R-word to insult someone who's being an idiot because you're worried about your government arresting you.
00:32:40.040And he said both of those words multiple times because he knows the taboo won't touch him because he's an American citizen and the UK is not going to arrest him the same way that they will arrest a UK citizen for using that language.
00:32:51.180But there was one word that Tucker would not use.
00:32:55.700Because he knows that no matter how powerful he is, no matter how above cancellation he appears, and no matter how much he's mocking the British for not being able to say basic words for fear of their own government, Tucker knows that at the end of the day, that's actually true in America.
00:33:16.320And the one word that's true of is the N-word.
00:33:19.900Now, I don't think you should run around yelling racial slurs at people.
00:33:23.020I don't think ethnic hatred is generally a good thing to involve yourself in.
00:33:27.880But if someone stabs you and you yell out an insult, well, man, if there's one time that we kind of let that taboo slide, I feel like that's the one.
00:33:36.960Not only do we let that taboo slide, we let slide instead the actual assault, the actual stabbing.
00:33:45.280This guy gets off from the stabbing because the word was uttered.
00:35:06.680No, because he said this is a bad word we shouldn't say in a board meeting.
00:35:10.360Even, and this is not the first time, there are multiple situations where major college officials and executives have pointed out, hey, just don't say this word, but they actually said the word.
00:35:26.320Not because they insulted someone, not because they attacked anyone, but because the word is so sacred, so special, so untouchable.
00:35:33.460That even uttering the word against the word, saying, don't say this word, saying, this is negative, this is hateful, don't do this, that's enough.
00:36:36.620Again, very reminiscent of the Shiloh Hendricks scenario, where they start showing this white woman, and she's got the baby, and she's just yelling these racial epithets of people, right?
00:36:47.780She must be this horrible racist everything.
00:36:49.960What we find out is actually Shiloh Hendricks was specifically harassed.
00:36:57.640She was taped by some guy who apparently just hangs out at parks despite having, like, you know, I think he had, if I remember correctly, some kind of conviction or some kind of pending charge for, you know, sexual crimes, that kind of thing.
00:37:13.800And it turns out someone had been stealing.
00:37:18.140Some people said it was a five-year-old.
00:37:19.740Others were saying it was older as 10 or 12.
00:37:22.160But there was a black child stealing stuff out of her purse.
00:37:24.780And after multiple times of, like, telling him to stop, she ends up dropping the N-bomb.
00:37:32.300Now, again, maybe she shouldn't have done that, right?
00:37:34.400Like, maybe that's not how to respond in that scenario.
00:37:37.260But this woman had, there's a lot of context for what happened, right?
00:38:15.820Even though he was very, very, there's lots of evidence that he was allegedly involved in the murder of Austin Metcalfe.
00:38:23.640And his response, of course, the black student's response is the same response that black criminals know they can fall back on all the time.
00:38:39.520But it doesn't matter because he knows that's the magic response.
00:38:42.760This is the, if you just say a white person said that word, you can stab him.
00:38:47.120And we know that's true because we literally just saw Portland announce exactly that.
00:38:50.820Yes, of course, you can stab a white guy if he says the wrong word.
00:38:55.180That's just a magic thing that certain aristocrats in America get to do.
00:38:59.360So when he raises all that money, the response to people watching what happened with Shiloh Hendricks, whether you think it was right or wrong, was this equal and opposite reaction of donating to her.
00:39:14.200Now we see a similar scenario taken out of context.
00:39:18.700It looks like, oh, this woman is just yelling, you know, at these black people and what an evil racist she is.
00:40:44.460Because they know, even as Somali immigrants.
00:40:47.200Remember, this is not some historic African American who's been here for generations and whose family suffered the indignities of slavery and Jim Crow and justifiably has some chip on their shoulders.
00:43:45.080If we look at what's going on, it's very clear.
00:43:48.840There is just open season on conservatives and, in many cases, white Americans in the United States because there are special political privileges gifted to certain races and certain political persuasions inside this country.
00:44:02.640And we cannot continue to fool ourselves.
00:44:08.080And so Crystal over at Cinnabon has also got a GoFundMe, and I believe it's at least, or whatever the website is, and it's reached $100,000, probably GiveCinGo.
00:44:19.880Now, I'm not encouraging one way or another, but I'm just saying I get why these people are able to raise funds.
00:44:30.540There have been multiple instances where white women have been intimidated by black men who are obviously implying violence towards them, and they lose their jobs.
00:44:40.920You remember the woman who was walking her dog and some guy accused her of racism and ruined her life until we found out that actually he was harassing her the entire time, filming her, trying to get her, trying to provoke her.
00:44:53.500Remember the pregnant nurse who was trying to rent a bicycle and got threatened by black guys who wanted the bicycle more, and she lost her job because they threatened her?
00:45:08.900This is what it means to be an American at this point.
00:45:12.060Do we really want to continue to live this way?
00:45:14.120Is this how we want our children, our grandchildren, our wives, our daughters?
00:45:19.180Is this how we want them to have to live?
00:47:14.640I want orderly justice applied by the state.
00:47:18.340But if the Trump administration won't do it, if the Portland police won't do it, if Minnesota police won't do it, Wisconsin police won't do it, then eventually people are going to take it into their own hands.
00:50:13.160But even if you build non-political organizations around your church or around working out, around training with firearms, around any of this stuff, trust me, if things get political, you'll know who to call.
00:50:24.760But it's safer to do these kind of organizations.
00:50:29.080I don't want you out there doing big mass protests.
00:50:33.140I think that those are targets for leftist infiltration and subversion.
00:50:37.200I know people feel differently about that.
00:50:46.740Yep, I think that's probably one of the most powerful points that Dave the Distributist has ever made, so much so that I included it in my book, The Total State.
00:53:30.100I think we should take these things seriously.
00:53:31.360I think we should stop disregarding leftist threats because it makes us feel good about slamming some commentator.
00:53:37.700Like, I don't care if you like Tim Pool or not.
00:53:40.060The guy should be able to speak without being threatened or killed.
00:53:43.020And if you can't agree with that or you think it's more important to point out the fact that at some point you disagree with the guy, I don't know.
00:55:28.700We're going to go ahead and wrap this up.
