Popular podcast host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-pool">Tim Pool</a> just released a new single in collaboration with metalcore singer Phil Labonte called “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">Coming Home</a>.”
The hard-hitting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">track</a> is already gaining traction on YouTube, with listeners praising the vocals, visuals, and overall vibe. “The place I once called home has ceased to be,” one of the opening lines says. “Now there’s nothing left but broken glass,” the lyrics continue. “Empty words and empty promises.”

Phil Labonte) [Official Music Video]" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B-3HGkQbiq4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
“Coming home, it’s not supposed to be like this,” the chorus says. “Shadow figures on the corner like numbers on a list/ Coming home was supposed to be a gift but the man that came before me can’t be found now/ It’s not nothing more/ But something less /This place that I’ve come home to /Is not supposed to be like this.”
The video is filled with imagery of a rundown city filled with boarded-up houses interspersed with retro footage of young children with their parents. The overall tone is depressed and dimly lit, like a memory that’s been tarnished.

&#8220;After seeing the chaos in our streets and mismanagement of our cities leading to crime, homelessness, and poverty I had to wonder what we and what our leaders had been doing to support those who give everything for this country,” Pool said in a statement about the song’s message.
“I&#8217;ve heard stories and could only imagine what it must be like to finally come home and see the places you once knew and loved overrun and decayed. This country deserves better and so do our veterans and first responders,&#8221; he added.
Commenters on YouTube are impressed with the overall tone and message of the song. 
“Great song and video really tells a story and this will resonate,” one person wrote.
“Somehow, this song made me even more emotional than Only Ever Wanted. Instant hit,” another agreed.
Previous songs by Pool have skyrocketed to the top of the iTunes charts, including the hit single “Only Ever Wanted.” That was his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/listen-tim-pool-releases-first-single-with-ousted-offspring-drummer-pete-parada">first effort</a> with ousted Offspring drummer Pete Parada, who also does drums for this new release.
Pool is a conservative political commentator and host of multiple popular podcasts, including “Timcast,” “Tim Pool,” and “Timcast IRL.”  He became popular after live-streaming the 2011 Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City.

Political commentator Tim Pool told Ben Shapiro on Friday that he was unaware that the founders of a media company that licensed one of his talk shows were being paid by Russians, and was blindsided by the allegations from the Department of Justice earlier this week.
In his first interview since the DOJ indictment, Pool, the host of the popular Timcast show, reiterated on &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2042-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ben Shapiro Show</a>&#8221; that he had very limited contact with Tenet Media, which is accused by federal prosecutors of secretly taking money from Russians and licensed one of his spin-off shows called the &#8220;Culture War&#8221; podcast. He also explained that Tenet, which was founded by conservative commentator Lauren Chen, didn&#8217;t even have exclusive rights to his show, much less editorial input on it.
&#8220;That&#8217;s the crazy thing, it&#8217;s not even an exclusive show, it&#8217;s not exclusive, we published it other places, we own all the rights for it,&#8221; Pool said. &#8220;And so now we get entrenched in whatever this is, and I&#8217;m just like, nah, I don&#8217;t have anything to do with this. I don&#8217;t know what it is Lauren Chen was doing. I&#8217;m quite perturbed by the allegations. I don&#8217;t know what will turn out to be true, but I&#8217;m pissed.&#8221;

Pool said that despite clips circulating on social media this week that show him harshly criticizing Ukraine, he has always hated Russia.
&#8220;Russia sucks. I&#8217;m not a fan of Russia,&#8221; Pool said. &#8220;I think Vladimir Putin is a dictator who&#8217;s used unethical and dictatorial means to maintain power for decades. And I&#8217;ve long said that.&#8221;

Pool said his comments criticizing Ukraine are rooted in his anger that the United States is spending resources abroad when it should be spending them on domestic problems.
Chen, a Canadian-born YouTuber and <a href="https://x.com/AGHamilton29/status/1831433336293880183" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former RT employee</a>, and her husband, Liam Donovan, are not named but referenced in the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366266/dl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indictment</a> as founders of Tenet Media.
The Russian defendants allegedly worked with Chen and Donovan to “mask” the “true source of funding” for the company, which the indictment revealed to be RT — a Russian state broadcaster.
Chen and Donovan were accused of “falsely portraying” to commentators such as Pool that their company was sponsored by a private investor named “Eduard Grigoriann” — a persona that turned out to be fake.
The Blaze has cut ties with Chen over the Russia allegations. Pool says he&#8217;s been contacted by the FBI, which is treating him as a victim of the scheme.

Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/donald-trump-draws-massive-crowd-to-rally-in-aocs-backyard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald Trump’</a>s campaign confirmed that its fundraising site WinRed crashed after Trump was found <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/verdict-trump-found-guilty-on-all-charges-in-hush-money-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guilty</a> on Thursday by a New York jury.
In a post on X, Trump’s campaign wrote, “If you are one of the millions of American Patriots wanting to donate to Donald Trump’s campaign and you get an error message from [WINRED] …don’t give up!”
“Log back on and try again,” it added, encouraging supporters to keep trying. “Or Text TRUMP to 88022 Help us send weak JoeBiden packing !!!”
The crash came after jurors returned a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/verdict-trump-found-guilty-on-all-charges-in-hush-money-case">guilty verdict</a> on all 34 counts against Trump in the hush-money trial, marking the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.
Not only did Trump’s donations page crash after the guilty verdict, but so did DonaldJTrump.com, which forwards to his WinRed page.

“This means he can’t take in any donations at a particularly helpful time to haul in cash,” he added.
At the time of this publication, it looks like <a href="http://donaldjtrump.com">donaldjtrump.com</a> is back up and has been updated to note the conviction. 
&#8220;I&#8217;M A POLITICAL PRISONER!&#8221; says the former president&#8217;s fundraising page. &#8220;I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial.&#8221;
Podcaster Tim Pool wrote on <a href="https://x.com/Timcast/status/1796311169025573041">X</a> to his 2 million followers that he had “just donated the maximum to Donald Trump&#8221; after the website recovered.
Piers Morgan reacted to the guilty verdict by the jury against Trump and predicted that it will “propel” the former president “back into the White House.”
“Trump’s donation websites are crashing,&#8221; said the British commentator, adding &#8220;my guess is this verdict will propel him back into the White House.&#8221;
In his Thursday post on <a href="https://x.com/piersmorgan/status/1796301496528814217">X</a>, the talk show host called it “a sad, shameful and ridiculous day for America.&#8221;

“To drag a former President, who is running for President again, through criminal courts over something so trivial feels a massive overreach &amp; an incredibly divisive and obviously politically partisan action,” he added.  The post that has since gone viral with more than 1.1 million views.
The decision, which will likely be <a href="https://x.com/natalie_allison/status/1796243924463616439">appealed</a>, is the culmination of a weeks-long courtroom battle in which Trump claimed he was the target of a “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-avenatti-claims-he-is-willing-to-testify-in-trump-hush-money-trial">political persecution</a>” as he runs another campaign for a second term in the White House.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> offered reassurances on Saturday to podcaster Tim Pool over how X, formerly known as Twitter, contends with users who identify as transgender.
&#8220;I will be terminating all ad spend commitments and verified accounts over X reinstating the misgendering policy,&#8221; Pool <a href="https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1763760175419154629" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post</a> on Friday.

In response to the first post, Musk said, &#8220;Turns out this was due to a court judgment in Brazil, which is being appealed, but should not apply outside of Brazil.&#8221;

Brazil&#8217;s Supreme Court ruled that homophobic slurs were punishable by prison after it determined homophobia was a crime in 2019, Agence France Presses <a href="https://www.barrons.com/news/brazil-high-court-rules-homophobia-punishable-by-prison-bee14818" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in August.
Pool had shared a link to a <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4501135-x-revives-policy-targeting-deadnaming-misgendering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report by The Hill</a> about a &#8220;quiet update&#8221; that appeared to revive a policy X <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/19/tech/twitter-hateful-conduct-policy-transgender-protections/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed</a> last year — after Musk completed a $44 billion takeover of the platform — prohibiting the &#8220;targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.&#8221;
A page on X&#8217;s website that <a href="https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/abusive-behavior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says it was updated</a> in January 2024 contains a section on &#8220;Use of Prior Names and Pronouns.&#8221; The section claims that X &#8220;will reduce the visibility of posts that purposefully use different pronouns to address someone other than what that person uses for themselves, or that use a previous name that someone no longer goes by as part of their transition.&#8221;
Responding to one X user who shared screen grabs that indicated <a href="https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/hateful-conduct-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a gender identity policy</a> was being enforced, Pool said, &#8220;Hateful conduct.&#8221; He also said, &#8220;X is the woke mind virus,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I hope this gets resolved.&#8221;

In a surprise drop by popular podcaster Tim Pool’s music label Trash House Records, Pool and producer Carter Banks debuted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11UGFDGc4pM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chart-topping cover</a> of Smokey Mike &amp; The god-king’s hit song “Together Again.” 
Shortly after its midnight release, “Together Again” by Pool and Banks debuted at the top spot on the <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/together-again-single/1719588971?ls=1&amp;app=itunes">iTunes</a> chart above hit songs like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” and “No More Dream” by BTS. Smokey Mike &amp; the god-king performed “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP6wA6GLuNE">Together Again</a>” live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville last year during a Daily Wire “Backstage Live” event.
“In a sea of modern music that is increasingly lacking in quality, an iconic song that captured previous generations is being given new life for today’s generation,” Timcast said in a press release. “‘Together Again’ by the legendary duo Smokey Mike &amp; The god-king–which saw an unprecedented 87-week run at the top of the Spicy 100 charts in 1967 and 1968–has long remained untouched by modern artists, which many say is a testament to its timeless brilliance and the revered, indelible mark it left on the music industry.” 
“Legendary Artists like Smokey Mike &amp; The god-king have been largely overlooked by today’s mainstream music industry,” Timcast continued. “But Banks and Pool’s cover embraces the foundation laid by the duo, whose commitment to tradition, quality, and artistry was unshaken by the liberal counterculture movements of the decade — a quality often credited with their historic run at the top of the charts.”

“All of these greats like The Beatles, Zeppelin, and Smokey Mike &amp; the god-king–there are a lot of opportunities for modern versions that have not been done properly,” said Pool, who also hosts the popular streaming show, Timcast IRL. “Now, a lot of people have covered Zeppelin, of course, but no one&#8217;s done a good modern version of ‘Together Again.’ We realized if we get this right, it could be huge.”
Banks and Pool’s cover of “Together Again” is available now on <a href="https://timcast.bandzoogle.com/the-best-song-ever">thebestsongever.com</a>, <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/together-again-single/1719588971">iTunes</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5F3gHVFaGVOaisElgImqpI?si=e6106f74b9af47fa">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11UGFDGc4pM">YouTube</a>, and all major music platforms.

Daily Wire Co-CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeremy-boreing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy Boreing</a> said the new comedy “Lady Ballers” was kept a secret to prevent sabotage from activists and others.
Boreing joined Tim Pool on his podcast and web show “Timcast” on Tuesday evening. During the show, they discussed The Daily Wire’s venture into entertainment with the trailer, released on Monday, for its first-ever feature-length comedy “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers">Lady Ballers</a>.” The comedy mocks the recent and controversial phenomenon of men competing in women’s sports and is described in the trailer as the “most triggering comedy of the year.”
Many people interested in the new comedy were surprised at the release of the new movie, largely because they did not know it was being created. Boreing said that that was by design and that The Daily Wire kept the filming secret to avoid unwanted attention from bad actors.
&#8220;One of the things people said to me all day today, in fact, one of the people here at your place said, ‘How did we not know about this?’ Well, we went out of our way to make sure people didn’t know about it, in particular with ‘Lady Ballers,’” Boreing told Pool. “We knew if people knew about it, they would find a way to stop us.”
“The whole time we were making the film, we were [using] pseudonyms. We called it ‘Coach Miracle’ in all the written material during the production. Everyone is out to stop the kind of work that we are doing,” Boreing added.

During an appearance on the “PBD Podcast” on Tuesday morning, Boreing, the film’s director, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jeremy-boreing-says-theaters-wont-touch-lady-ballers-because-hollywood-has-made-transgenderism-its-religion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the movie would not appear in theaters because of reluctance by Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general to touch any product seen as criticizing the transgender ideology.
“This is the religious issue of our time for the Left,” Boreing said. “This represents the culmination of their religious beliefs, so when we went to theatrical distributors, [they] were not even going to engage in the conversation.”

“I think the film would do very well in theaters; in fact, I think that it would outkick its coverage in theaters because right now, theaters are in trouble,” he continued. “Disney bombed at the box office this weekend. Almost every film since the pandemic has done poorly at the box office with precious few exceptions.”
The movie <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers">will be available</a> to DailyWire+ members beginning this Friday, December 1, at 8:00 p.m. EST.

U.S.

Elon Musk’s X-Corp asked a California court on Friday to overturn a first-of-its-kind online content moderation law, arguing the measure pressures social media platforms to censor discourse viewed as problematic by state officials.
X, formerly known as Twitter, filed a <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.caed.433955/gov.uscourts.caed.433955.1.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California against the new law AB 587, which requires social media companies to publicly disclose moderation practices around categories the state could label as misinformation/disinformation, extremism/radicalization, and hate speech — otherwise the state could impose fines for non-compliance.
But with Musk’s pledge to restore a marketplace of ideas on his newly rebranded $44 billion social media company, X Corp. alleges California’s new law regulating certain forms of speech violates the First Amendment under the U.S. and California constitutions.
“Because X Corp. must take such positions on these topics as they are formulated by the State, X Corp. is being forced to adopt the State’s politically-charged terms, which is a form of compelled speech in and of itself,” the lawsuit alleges.
“AB 587 thus mandates X Corp. to speak about sensitive, controversial topics about which it does not wish to speak in the hopes of pressuring X Corp. to limit constitutionally-protected content on its platform that the state apparently finds objectionable or undesirable,” the suit says.
Lawmakers tout the content moderation practice as a mere “transparency measure” under which state officials require certain social media companies to make their content moderation policies and statistics publicly available.
Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino), who authored the bill, said in <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/08/twitter-x-elon-musk-california-moderation-transparency-law-as-unconstitutional-ab-587/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">response</a> to the lawsuit that AB 587 is “a pure transparency measure that simply requires companies to be upfront about if and how they are moderating content.”
“It in no way requires any specific content moderation policies,” he added. “If Twitter has nothing to hide, then they should have no objection to this bill.”
The lawsuit brought forward by X Corp. comes months after satire news website Babylon Bee <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/babylon-bee-ceo-tim-pool-file-lawsuit-against-california-attorney-general-over-new-social-media-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed separate litigation</a> with podcaster Tim Pool and Minds, Inc. against California’s attorney general to keep state officials from enforcing the content moderation law.

The group argues the law was “written with the express intent to discourage expression” of constitutionally protected viewpoints and failed the vagueness doctrine of the Fourteenth Amendment, which requires criminal laws to state explicitly and definitely what conduct is punishable.
“If Big Tech is tasked by the state with eliminating hateful or misinformative content, they’ll stuff everything they don’t like into those categories, including opinions, jokes, and even factual statements,” Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon said. “We’ve already experienced it first hand.”
Upon signing the bill into law, which is set to take effect next year, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom said the state would “not stand by as social media is weaponized to spread hate and disinformation that threaten our communities and foundational values as a country.”
Dillon argued that lawmakers made the law too vague and called it a censorship bill.
“We need laws that prohibit viewpoint discrimination, not laws that compel it under threat of penalties (and under the guise of good-faith content moderation),” Dillon said.

A pair of drag performers debated the definition of woman and whether <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/four-colorado-elementary-schools-dei-groups-teamed-up-to-promote-drag-queen-story-hour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drag queen story hours</a> at public libraries are appropriate for kids Friday in the latest episode of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-pool-praises-matt-walsh-for-the-attention-hes-brought-to-the-transgender-issue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Pool&#8217;s</a> &#8220;Culture War&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKoeMuuz5f0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a>.
Maebe A. Girl, a transgender-identifying male who in 2019 became the nation&#8217;s first drag queen elected to a public office, defended drag for kids against Kitty &#8220;Hogatha&#8221; DeMure, who has been one of the sole voices in the drag community talking about the dangers of drag to kids after going viral when he asked in a video, &#8220;Why do drag queens need to read to kids?&#8221;
Things got heated on the show when Pool posed the eponymous question popularized in The Daily Wire&#8217;s groundbreaking 2022 documentary, &#8220;<a href="https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&amp;ai=CqB6JuKSxZNb4Koe5mgTJ9InwDI2q3YFxlpTe04sR0tLezrIyCAAQASC5VGDJpt6M4KTQFKABkvTujgPIAQHIA9ggqgRfT9ApBeK6Vb-qwrKcyeFuq7WuOG4SdXTyjcUwls4P8qNGkTMd32fTbnloJWpO5zCNNupMZoHwPRW16uShkP6dFvstcz-Eo6pljh0npng7gnrujpp2ISM9W_KsLCbH1o7ABL3er8maBIAFkE6IBY2SvrJJoAZmgAfWi5FxiAcBkAcBqAemvhuoB7ytsQKoB7mrsQKoB7masQKoB_PRG6gH7tIbqAf_nLECqAfK3BuoB5KvsQKoB7uksQKoB9imsQKoB9uqsQKoB9CqsQKoB9ywsQKgCMCPpgSwCAHSCB0QAiCEAzIEg-CADjoIwsCAgICABAJCAQRI0ezzKpoJKGh0dHBzOi8vZ2V0LmRhaWx5d2lyZS5jb20vd2lhdy9zdWJzY3JpYmWxCY-hEu1QFLI2uQmPoRLtUBSyNvgJAZgLAaoMAggBuAwB2gwICgMggAESAQLoDAaqDQJVU4IUHggCEhpkYWlseSB3aXJlIHdoYXQgaXMgYSB3b21hbogUA8gUk5G8t6zFk7Yq0BUBmBYB-BYBgBcBkhcJEgcIARADGIMC4BcC&amp;ae=2&amp;ved=2ahUKEwij3cX9-Y6AAxWkSzABHc-xCDIQ0Qx6BAgNEAE&amp;nis=2&amp;dct=1&amp;cid=CAASFORorymOXPtAJ2eRolR2pXkEq_JT&amp;dblrd=1&amp;sival=AF15MEBygqmSS-peyERjEAoaFayWY6MHl5EzGq8Jl5Hq_IIJu-wHS6tKYWkOr483GSJ96P1pq49EczGEFCMVFJD3J-thHHGlW9Crvfqd8ItHCZNjECorKtT1Ao7AUGD_3xrcSH2tohVeSzms6OftNtnTJK-v8vMOkQJLF_c-7rapIxHSr1Wk5R_d3n5k_UbE3RzuWKxntG8d&amp;sig=AOD64_1YGLNSHa2WHIAw1oAVvcIc-ly_8Q&amp;adurl=https://get.dailywire.com/wiaw/subscribe%3Futm_campaign%3Dwiaw%26utm_medium%3Dpaid%26utm_source%3Dgooglesearch%26utm_content%3Dna_subscriptions%26mid%3Dg%26cid%3Dwiaw%26xid%3D0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is A Woman?</a>&#8221; Girl, who was elected to the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council in Los Angeles four years ago, equivocated while Demure dropped the mic.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m qualified to answer that because I don&#8217;t think that there&#8217;s a singular answer,&#8221; Girl replied. &#8220;And I think it goes back into this idea that I was talking about earlier that so many people view the world through this binary lens of you are either this or that.&#8221;

&mdash; The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) <a href="https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1679900451779620886?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 14, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;You&#8217;re a man or a woman,&#8221; Girl added. &#8220;But the idea of a man and a woman is actually so expansive, and there is so much opportunity and nuance in between. And I think it&#8217;s up to the individual to decide &#8230; I think this idea that we have to have this definition of what is a woman I think it&#8217;s counterproductive &#8230; and meant to be transphobic.&#8221;
When Pool pressed Girl to define &#8220;female,&#8221; the drag queen official said &#8220;female would be the end of this binary that society has created.&#8221;
DeMure replied that every &#8220;drag queen can tell you what a woman is if they are being honest.&#8221;
&#8220;A woman does not have a penis, because drag queens tuck their penises,&#8221; DeMure said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen one drag queen in all of my years of pageants have a bulge.&#8221;
&#8220;A woman is a human that is born with a vagina and has the capability of reproducing and giving birth, whether they can do it or not,&#8221; DeMure continued. &#8220;They have the anatomy for it. To me, that&#8217;s what a woman is. And we all know it.&#8221;
The pair also disagreed about drag queen story hour at libraries, with DeMure calling them inappropriate and suggesting that kids would rather have their parents read to them.
But Girl said it wasn&#8217;t &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; for children, and defended drag community as not a &#8220;monolith.&#8221;
&#8220;I believe that there are appropriate interactions for particular situations,&#8221; Girl said. &#8220;And I agree we shouldn&#8217;t have kids at drag shows that are taking place at night clubs, which is not happening.&#8221;
Girl disputed claims that drag performers read sexually explicit books at the events, saying &#8220;99 percent of the time&#8221; the books drag queens read to kids are age-appropriate.
But Girl acknowledged that some performers have gone too far at drag queen story hours.
&#8220;And unfortunately, that reflects on the whole community,&#8221; Girl said.
DeMure said he&#8217;s part of a tiny minority of drag performers speaking out against exposing children to drag.
&#8220;If we were going to expose children to this, why is it going to be a drag queen with their legs spread open reading to kids about hey maybe you’re a girl, maybe you’re a boy?&#8221; he wondered. &#8220;It’s like there&#8217;s no PR or head of the LGBTQ ink that is managing these things.&#8221;

Podcaster <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-pool">Tim Pool</a> exposed the hypocrisy of his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion">pro-abortion</a> guest’s position during Thursday&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/podcast">episode</a> of “Timcast IRL.”
Pool was speaking with Lance from The Serfs, a popular democratic socialist YouTube channel. When the topic of abortion came up, Lance said he believed a woman should still have “the choice” and “ultimate authority over what happens to her body.”
“What about meth?” Pool asked Lance.
“Uh … like, should she be allowed to do meth?” Lance said. “Uh, I think if someone is doing meth while they’re pregnant, that it is completely acceptable for something like [child services] &#8230;”
“It’s her body, though,” Pool replied.
“Yeah, it’s her body,” Lance said.
“If she wants to do meth, what’s the big deal?” Pool asked.
“Uh, the big deal is that it’s – she’s intentionally trying to kill a child,” Lance said.
There was a brief silence as they both realized what he admitted. “Hold on there a minute,” Pool said, and Lance admitted, “Yeah, I see where you’re …” 
“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Pool said.

The clip quickly started circulating on social media. “Well done,” the pro-life advocacy group Live Action <a href="https://twitter.com/liveaction/status/1654319788255072256?s=46&amp;t=y4YkrOT86oHdXG1HCmsfMQ">said</a> of the exchange.
“Why would you debate this topic when you haven&#8217;t thought about your position for even a second?” another Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/aguybeinaguy/status/1654298544772112384">wrote</a>. That post had 1.5 million views as of Friday.
“Love this argument. Leaves them stunned and swimming in circles every time!” another person <a href="https://twitter.com/MacmorrisJordan/status/1654540538291388421">wrote</a>. 
Pool also shared the clip, writing in the <a href="https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1654448066815041538">retweet</a>, “I love my job.”
At another point in the conversation, Pool and Lance <a href="https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1654304796503941120">discussed</a> children who identify as transgender receiving “gender-affirming care,” which Pool described as a “genocide.”
“You want to know what I think?” Pool told Lance after the guest trotted out familiar Leftist talking points about there being more trans-identified youth now because those individuals are more accepted in society.
“I think there is a trans genocide,” Pool said. “And I think it’s you. Because you’re sterilizing a lot of these people. You’re literally sterilizing them – the surgery to remove the gonads, hysterectomies, and cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers have a high rate of sterilization.”
“These people can no longer reproduce. That’s genocide,” Pool said.

“How many times does someone have to lie to you before you call them a liar?” podcaster and independent journalist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-pool">Tim Pool</a> asks in a recent PragerU video.
Pool goes through several prominent cases of mainstream media outlets misrepresenting major national news stories, and suggests that said organizations do not deserve the blanket trust that some Americans still give them.
He specifically cites the Michael Brown shooting in 2014, where media portrayed Brown as a ‘gentle giant’ who was shot by a racist police after pleading for his life with the famous — and fictitious — line “hands up, don’t shoot!”.
In reality, Brown had just robbed a convenience store and had violently assaulted officer Darren Wilson, punching him and reaching for his gun. A local grand jury and a federal probe by the Justice Department under the Obama administration found that Wilson had justifiably used lethal force in self defense.
“The whole story was manufactured by the media.” Pool observed. “It wasn’t the first time. It wouldn’t be the last.” 

Pool outlined other major scandals, such as the big tech suppression of Hunter Biden’s &#8220;laptop from hell&#8221; during the 2020 election, and the mainstream media’s insistence that it was &#8220;Russian disinformation.&#8221; In a similar vein, Pool zeroes in on the &#8220;Russia Hoax&#8221; that dominated the aftermath of the 2016 election.
“The biggest whopper of them all was the Russia Hoax, the entirely made up story that Donald Trump the candidate, then Donald Trump the President of the United States, was a Russian Agent. This dark fantasy preoccupied the legacy media for 3 years.”
Pool notes that most of the reporting on this issue was sourced from opposition research funded by the Clinton campaign that was totally baseless — the New York Times and the Washington Post would both win Pulitzer Prizes for that baseless reporting.
Pool advised listeners to seek out information from across the political spectrum, and to critically evaluate the motives and credibility of their sources.
“If someone or some news source lies over and over again, you may not want to trust them.”

Journalist and musician <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-pool-dives-into-hot-button-issues-with-his-new-podcast-the-culture-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Pool</a> announced Tuesday that he had his music yanked from online audio distribution platform <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/08/19/903547253/a-tale-of-two-ecosystems-on-bandcamp-spotify-and-the-wide-open-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bandcamp</a> without any explanation.
Pool <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-bandcamp-removes-timcast-five-times-august-from-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Post Millennial three of his songs were pulled from Bandcamp, and he&#8217;s yet to receive an explanation. The journalist floated the idea of a class action lawsuit from fans who paid for his music and no longer have access to it on the platform.
&#8220;Hey look our [Bandcamp] account is still gone and they&#8217;ve never responded as to why,&#8221; Pool said Tuesday via Twitter.

The music platform has also apparently leveled a ban on Five Times August, a band featuring singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas. An account for Five Times August on Wednesday suggested the ban could be political.
&#8220;Having a really hard time figuring out why [Band Camp] would target and delete Five Times August&#8217;s and [Timcast]&#8216;s pages and why their support manager wouldn&#8217;t be getting back to us&#8230;,&#8221; the account sarcastically posted along with a screenshot of a LinkedIn profile indicating the platform&#8217;s support manager uses &#8220;they/them&#8221; pronouns as well as a picture.

The Daily Wire reached out to Bandcamp for explanation on both bans, but did not immediately receive a response.
Pool reacted on Thursday to the Five Times August ban, writing, &#8220;maybe we should crowd fund a class action between all our fans who can no longer access the music they paid for.&#8221;

Five Times August seems to have caught the ban in February, similarly without explanation. “I had been on the site about ten years,” the band told The Post Millennial. “My entire catalogue of music and my artist page scrubbed. I re-registered to claim my artist page again but have only put back one album for now. I wrote them about it, haven’t heard anything and from what I understand no other artists who this happened to have ever heard back either.”
&#8220;No idea what happened but after ten years on Bandcamp they removed my entire catalogue of music and signed me out as if I never existed. I just signed up again to reclaim my page. Silent War is available for now as a test but if they remove it again we&#8217;ll know why,&#8221; The band wrote back in February, adding, &#8220;I just re-registered. Had to start my account all over and reclaim my page again. Really strange.&#8221;

Podcaster and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/youtube">YouTube</a> personality <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-pool">Tim Pool</a> is shedding light on the most buzzworthy cultural topics with his latest project, “The Culture War.”
This new show is streaming episodes on Fridays at 1:00 pm EST. Per the press release, Pool’s latest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-pool">podcast</a> will become “your home for unflinchingly honest discussions about the biggest cultural issues of our time, with the most interesting guests, free of political agendas.” 
“There is a whole world happening out there beyond the confines of the news cycle and we intend to get into all of it,” Pool, CEO of Timcast Media Group, said of the endeavor.
Fans are already familiar with Pool’s massively successful shows “The Tim Pool Daily Show” and “Timcast In Real Life.” While these programs dabble in cultural topics alongside politics and headline news, the newest project offers a deeper dive into the cultural divide in modern America and how it affects every aspect of everyday life. 
The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9oqgpKL4qw">debut episode</a> of “The Culture War” aired on Friday, February 24, with an expose on radical gender ideology. It featured detransitioner Oli London, who rose to fame while identifying as “Trans Korean” and transgender, then opted to re-evaluate.
London got real with Pool about why he stepped away from plastic surgery and found peace with his true self, plus how becoming one of a growing number of detransitioners made him a target for hateful reactions, including threats, from former allies and supporters.
Pool’s political views are often described as libertarian. Recently, he’s been taking on the issue of transgenderism more frequently, including when he defended Daily Wire host Matt Walsh for his scathing commentary on trans activist Dylan Mulvaney.
“All these people are talking to Matt Walsh, saying, ‘You shouldn’t be mean to people and blah, blah,’ and Matt’s like, ‘No, there’s no limits,’” Pool said on an episode of “Timcast IRL.”

“Like, we can’t let these people do these bad things. You need to tell people who are doing bad things, what you’re doing is bad. And you can do it in a bunch of different ways,” he continued. “You know, calling someone ‘creepy’ and ‘degenerate’ is not the worst possible thing in the world for a person, and it may make them rethink targeting children and causing harm to other people.”
