I remember Tim Pool to be a fun, humble, independent journalist who would take great care (and a long time) to make nigh unassailable arguments backed by sources he would also immediately name.
When I first heard him on Joe Rogan back when I listened to Joe Rogan, Tim sounded almost boring trying to never give an opinion and to strictly adhere to what he firmly believed to be facts.

Then he changed a little to become what he called a "Classical Liberal" - what we might call a minarchist - and committed himself to fight the "culture war", siding with the right wing.

Now he's apparently become a mouthpiece for the government, arguing against the most traditionally American right-wing issue imaginable, the right to keep and bear arms.

Here is the video my favourite podcaster Dave Smith has made about him, among other things:
