MAGA Podcaster Goes Full Suck-Up in First White House Briefing

William Vaillancourt

Tue, April 22, 2025 at 5:23 PM PDT

A Trump-supporting podcaster who was allegedly paid massive sums by Russian state media used his time during Tuesday’s White House press briefing to slam the reporters surrounding him.

Tim Pool, who was added to the press pool late last month and opted to wear his signature beanie and a zip-up hoodie to the exclusive affair, introduced his question with a lengthy rant about a number of right-wing grievances concerning the mainstream media.

“Many of the news organizations that are represented in this room have marched in lockstep on false narratives, such as the ‘very fine people’ hoax, the Covington smear, and now what’s being called the ‘Maryland man’ hoax, where an MS-13 gang member—adjudicated by two different judges, I believe—is just simply being referred to as a ‘Maryland man’ over and over again," Pool said.

“Now, in an effort from the White House to expand access to new companies, you’ve created this ‘new media’ seat,” he went on.

“So, I’m wondering if you can comment on following this expansion, you’ve had numerous outlets disparage the companies that you’ve had sit here, as well as the reporters,” he said. “I’m wondering if you could comment on that unprofessional behavior as well as elaborate if there’s any plans to expand access to new companies.”

Leavitt replied that Pool is in the briefing room because the administration “welcomes diverse viewpoints.“

“We welcome unbiased journalists who really care about the truth and the facts and the accuracy,” Leavitt insisted.

Better Call Saul

From Wikipedia

Better Call Saul is an American legal crime drama television series created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould for AMC. Part of the Breaking Bad franchise, it is a spin-off of Gilligan's previous series, Breaking Bad (2008–2013), to which it serves primarily as a prequel, with some scenes taking place during and after the events of Breaking Bad.

The character of Saul Goodman first appeared during Breaking Bad's second season, in an episode that was also titled "Better Call Saul". Bob Odenkirk, who portrayed Saul Goodman, had never seen the series prior to his appearance. The character was originally intended to appear in only four episodes, but soon became much more developed than the staff had planned. He would eventually stay on the series and become central to its narrative.

by me, Kerry Burgess, posted by me: 3:54 PM January 30, 2021 Astro_Spook @Kerry_W_Burgess

One key point about my Replicant Theory, a hypothesis that will probably never be proved by me:

My predecessor 2013 is possibly still out there somewhere running around right now, possibly orchestrating the stuff I'm finding on the internet



*He* is the one who did all that fantastic stuff in the 1990s

*I* am simply simply sitting here now holding the empty bag of laurels









by me, Kerry Burgess, posted by me: 6:51 PM January 30, 2021 Astro_Spook @Kerry_W_Burgess

All these years I have labored over many theories

The most important theory I've worked to prove was those spurious thoughts my conscious mind about Flight 232 in 1989

Those spurious thoughts are specifically what *caused* me to seek out proof about Flight 232, I wasn't there



My best possible lead was my memory of the ship leaving port without me, because I had a base-hospital appointment while the ship was at sea

The appt for a follow-up for earlier surgery, that probably had been unnecessary, in my opinion



Seems more than coincidence, I would later think, only *after* my research yielded a few details, that the Flight 232 crash was precisely 3 months after that surgery I had,



leading me to think that was consistent with a follow-up appt, where I was also working on the base, my only conscious memory of that time period is of me sitting in that office and I was crumpling up classified documents for bags that would be burned.



My research in the matching those spurious thought about Flight 232 informed me of some very compelling and consistent facts

But that's still all I have

Flight 232 has been so appealing to me because of how they wandered around lost in that cornfield after many of them survived



The attraction to me was because of Stephen King's The Stand novel, that I've always been fond of

Today, new thoughts form in my conscious mind, always willing to consider contradictory information

I am very certain I will never find anything that proves I was there, secretly,



secretly with their permission and with proper authorization, and another explanation comes to mind today

I've thought of this before but there is a new nuance today



I'm none of these people I'm describing now

According to my Replicant Theory, the lineage begins with Thomas Reagan, and exceptional natural human-being, although perhaps modified somehow before birth by non-human intelligent technology, 'technology' being the best term we have



for technology that was advanced

Kerry Burgess born in 1965 to surrogate-mother was a natural human-being cloned from Thomas Reagan

The storyline I've developed over the past decade is that original Kerry Burgess dies in the Flight 232, not on the official flight-manifest



From his death emerges the new Kerry Burgess and he did all the fantastic stuff I've described from the 1990s, after that more of an executive leadership desk role

So that's two versions

I sit here now as the third version, a Replicant manufactured in 2013



The thing about me is, I'm based on that original 1965 Kerry Burgess

But I'm not him. Biologically, I'm human and science will never prove otherwise, not for another thousand years

I'm based on that original version but a few factory-modifications made to my mind's content



That's how I know stuff now about Thomas Reagan and the improved Kerry Burgess of 1990s

I *needed* to know about it but I was also required to not, sort of, "own" it. That's why is isn't real memory, is only facts present in my conscious mind that seems to be my own experience



See, Flight 232 has been so important to me because I wanted to believe that was the divergence point, when normal Kerry Burgess became Fantastic Kerry Burgess

If I could just prove that, I told myself, then maybe I could find a way out of this boring routine



I still don't have anything conclusive about Flight 232

A competing theory is simply about Thomas Reagan and Kerry Burgess swapping lives around that time

There was some risk because, although identical in appearance, people who saw Kerry Burgess every day might wonder



Today, thoughts began to form in my conscious mind about the year 1989 and the theory, almost as though actual memory is forming in my conscious mind, of Thomas Reagan one day walking on the ship and begin to impersonate Kerry Burgess during the final year of his enlistment

Iraq war, 20 years on: how the world failed Iraq and created a less peaceful, democratic and prosperous state

Published: March 16, 2023 10:07am EDT

Author Benjamin Isakhan

Professor of International Politics, Deakin University

Two decades ago, Australia joined the US-led “coalition of the willing” that staged a major military intervention in Iraq.

To justify the war, leaders like US President George W. Bush and Australian Prime Minister John Howard argued that Iraq had developed weapons of mass destruction and was harbouring terrorist groups like al-Qaeda. Neither could be tolerated in a post-9/11 world.

However, when evidence for Iraq’s weapons program or links to terrorism failed to emerge, the coalition partners were forced to re-frame the war. The goals were threefold:

to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and bring peace to the Iraqi people

to replace the autocratic Baathist regime with a democratic government

to transform Iraq into a prosperous state governed by a free-market economy.

Twenty years on, the legacy of the war still looms large in Iraq. Despite the enormous human and financial costs, the coalition abjectly failed to achieve its central goals. Today, Iraq is not more peaceful, democratic or prosperous than it was in 2003.

Why did the US and allies invade Iraq, 20 years ago?

19 March 2023

What happened in the war?

At dawn on 20 March 2003, Operation Iraqi Freedom began with 295,000 US and allied troops invading Iraq across its border with Kuwait.

70,000 members of the Kurdish Peshmerga militia fought Iraqi forces in the north of the country.

By May, Iraq's army had been defeated and its regime overthrown. Saddam Hussein was later captured, tried and executed.

However, no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.

In 2004, the country was engulfed by a sectarian insurgency. In later years, a civil war broke out between Iraq's Sunni and Shi'a Muslim factions.

US troops withdrew from Iraq in 2011.

It is estimated that 461,000 people died in Iraq from war-related causes between 2003 and 2011 and that the war cost the US $3 trillion.

"America lost a lot of credibility from this war," says Dr Karin von Hippel, director-general of the Royal United Services Institute think tank.

"You still hear people saying, twenty years later: why do we want to believe American intelligence?"
