Tim Pool decided to weigh in on a speech that
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave,
when addressing the European parliament.
His speech was so emotional, so passionate that even
the translator got emotional while translating the speech.
And there was a call to Russia,
to stop slaughtering innocent civilians and children in Ukraine.
You wanna see how, Tim Pool reacted to that?
But before you do, I want you to watch the video of Zelenskyy and his speech,
let's take a look.
>> We have a desire to see our children.
Alive, I think it's a fair one yesterday, 16 Children were killed.
Again and again, President Putin is going to say that it's some
kind of operation and we are hitting a military infrastructure.
Where our children, what kind of military factories do they work at?
What tanks are they going with?
Or launching cruise missiles, he killed 16 people just yesterday.
>> And the civilian death toll continues to increase,
the numbers are of course changing.
But children have been killed,
apartment buildings have been bombed, hospitals have been targeted.
It is a complete and utter disaster, and how did Tim Pool react to that situation?
And the statement that you just saw from Volodymyr Zelenskyy in that speech,
let's take a look at what he posted.
This is the kind of guy we're talking about, I despise appeals to emotion.
>> Yeah, you're a real tough guy.
So look, guys, sometimes you do an appeal to emotion in a debate, and you could say.
well look, there's emotions on both sides and let's stick with the facts, and
you say that's fair, okay.
Sometimes, there's be appeals to emotion that makes no sense,
but the right wing does it all the time.
They're gonna take down statues of Confederate generals, that's
your ancestors, yeah, you're the victims and they get their feelings all hurt.
They didn't say Merry Christmas to you, they said happy holidays.
My God, their emotions, they get all into it and felt, and so
I'm pretty sure Tim Pool doesn't mean any of that.
Because the right wing loves to catch feelings, but
he never talks about that and they're all liars about that.
But in a case where, the president of a country is talking about
dead children that were his charge to protect.
And his country is being invaded by a tyrant, and
he's murdering these civilians, that is a correct appeal to emotion.
That is an appeal to humanity, that's not like some rhetorical argument that's not,
hey, what does Starbucks right on my coffee cup.
That's dead kids.
>> No, he doesn't care, he doesn't care about dead kids, I'm sorry.
That was not an appeal to emotion, that was stating what
is happening to innocent civilians on the ground.
I'm sorry, did that upset you, Tim Pool?
To know that, the thought of innocent civilians getting slaughtered,
makes people feel bad, makes people feel emotional.
Does that emotional setting make you uncomfortable?
I mean, this guy is such a clown.
This guy who goes out of his way to defend January 6 rioters,
by claiming that the writers couldn't have known.
That they weren't supposed to storm the capitol, while chanting,
hang Mike Pence, because there wasn't any signage saying do not trespass Cenk.
>> No.
>> There was no signage.
>> Hey.
>> And then anytime we criticize him on the show, by the way he cries and
cries on Twitter Crimea, goddamn river.
People like him are garbage, people like him follow the money,
he went from being an occupy Wall Street reporter, right?
Someone who did some decent reporting on the ground,
when occupy Wall Street was taking place.
To being nothing more than a hack, and a shill for the worst elements in society.
Right wingers, who do not care about human lives, who love authoritarianism,
who loved the idea of dismantling democracy, in our democratic process.
I mean, the Clown pretends to be such a tough guy,
he doesn't even have the bravery to take his ugly beanie off his head.
And for him to sit there and say, I despise appeals to emotion,
I despise it, I despise you, people like you embarrass America period.
>> So, if you're wondering how the hell that happens,
it's called audience capture.
And so, guys like Tim Pool don't have any ideology,
they don't have a thought in their head, so they're just trying to make money.
So, they'll do left wing videos and then, people will go, hey,
that's good, but there's not a ton of money and left wing.
But then the minute they start doing ugly right wing videos,
they'll dip their toes sometimes accidentally.
Well, I mean, people that murder Black people, are they definitely racist?
I don't know, if they're definitely and
then, they get a lot of right wing audience and there's, and
the right wing starts giving them money, et cetera.
And they're like, yeah, no,no, they're not racist, they're not racist, right?
Nobody's racist, and the next thing, he's all the way into, I mean,
Ukrainian kids are dead, what are you guys getting all emotional for?
Because, the right wing doesn't care about other people, so
when you show no empathy, they love it and they give you money.
So Pool's, well the one thing he really cares about is his bank account, and
that's why you're seeing him develop into the monster that he is.
>> You don't have to weigh on that speech about civilians, and
children getting slaughtered.
How about you shut up.
>> Yeah, well that wouldn't make him a lot of money.
>> Yeah, that's a good point.
