The Culture War Podcast with Tim Pool

On November 1, a Learjet 60 flying from Austin to the Bahamas veered north, plunged from 35,000 feet and crashed about six miles from Mar-a-Lago, killing all nine people on board. It came just days after air defense batteries were deployed to Palm Beach. Tim walks through the ATC tape and the flight path, the theories the internet is spreading, and why he says the most likely answer is a tragic coincidence, but not the only one.

On Friday, April 13th, 2029, an asteroid as big as the Eiffel Tower will pass closer to Earth than our TV satellites, close enough to see without a telescope. In 2004, Apophis had the highest impact risk ever recorded: a 1 in 37 chance of hitting us. NASA now says it's safe for at least 100 years. So why are NASA, Europe and Japan racing to meet it? The god of chaos is coming. We go through the Christmas 2004 scare, the "keyhole" that kept 2036 and 2068 on the table for years, what Earth's gravity will do to Apophis when it slips inside the satellite ring, the missions racing to meet it, and why this flyby is a rehearsal for planetary defense.

The New York Times reports that Mary Peltola's campaign and DSCC aides helped recruit a second "Dan Sullivan" onto Alaska's Senate ballot to split votes from the real Republican incumbent. Within 24 hours, the DOJ was serving subpoenas. Tim breaks down the criminal probe, Trump's threat not to seat Peltola, the DOJ's fight with California and Washington over noncitizen voters, and why nearly 40 House Democrats won't defend Ilhan Omar.

Trump is reportedly waiting until after the midterms to escalate the Iran war, and governments around the world are already getting ready. Putin test-fired a nuclear-capable missile, Europe is telling citizens to stockpile, and the U.S. Army is planning for a possible war over Taiwan. Tim walks through the petrodollar theory behind it all and the cyber "kill switch" that may be scarier than nukes.

The U.S. Army is practicing mass temporary burials at a scale not seen since the Korean War, while the Pentagon orders every major base to survive 90 days off the grid. Here's the timeline, and what it could mean for a war with Iran. In October 2026, Army engineers at Fort Bragg used D6 bulldozers to dig trenches for 20 remains at a time, and planners estimated one engineer company could bury up to 2,400 bodies a day. The same month, the Pentagon launched FORTRESS America, the Wall Street Journal reported the U.S. told Gulf allies to brace for a short, intense campaign against Iran after the midterms, and Britain told families to stockpile water, food and cash. Are they preparing for something bigger?

Pro-LGBTQ mailers telling Texas kids how to find support, seek emancipation and get gender-affirming care are showing up in mailboxes during early voting. They've been traced to a month-old Wyoming company and an Illinois printer whose co-owner has posed with Trump. Now liberals are calling them "deceptive" and a Republican hoax. Tim asks: if sending out your own message hurts you, what does that say about the message?

The Pentagon has ordered every major U.S. military base to be ready to survive 90 days on its own: no outside power, water or fuel. Britain is telling every household to stock food, water and cash, and Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Germany are all preparing citizens for a crisis. With Iran, Russia and China escalating and Europe in flames, Tim asks what these governments know that we don't.

A small unit inside UVA's medical school has spent nearly 60 years collecting the stories of children who say they remember a past life. A new study of 1,678 of those cases found a pattern no one expected.

On January 19, 2026, a solar storm hit Earth hard enough to set a record in New Zealand's power grid, and almost nobody noticed. Scientists say a far bigger storm is out there. It has hit this planet before and will hit it again. The last time it did, in 1859, there was no power grid, no satellites and no internet. This mini doc covers the Carrington Event, the 2012 near miss, the Starlink losses, and what a Carrington-class storm would do to the grid today. It also gets into why people are paying attention right now and the theories online: the micronova, the "CIA document," the internet apocalypse and Project Anchor. Then it looks at what scientists actually think.

In 2019, SNL fired Shane Gillis after four days. Seven years later he sold out an NFL stadium, set two Guinness World Records, and hosted SNL for the third time — and the outrage machine came for him again. This is how the guy they canceled became the biggest comedian in America.
