Andrew Schulz Predicts TRUMP LANDSLIDE, Kamala Camp IMPLODING w/Natalie Winters
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode from October 18, 2024 opened with discussion of comedian Andrew Schulz predicting a Trump landslide victory following his interview with Donald Trump on his podcast. Tim Pool and the panel analyzed how Schulz, described as a non-political comedian who appears on Joe Rogan's show, reported receiving positive reactions from regular people on the street, including what he described as nods reminiscent of drug deals. The hosts compared this phenomenon to 2016 when supporters saw Trump signs everywhere despite media predictions of a Clinton victory. The episode also covered Kamala Harris's controversial Fox News interview with Bret Baier, where the panel noted Harris's staffers appeared to signal for the interview to end. The hosts discussed how Democrat media outlets criticized Baier while polling aggregates showed Trump up significantly in betting odds. A lighter story about Biden and Obama appearing to discuss Kamala's electoral chances at a funeral, with people attempting to lip-read their conversation, was also covered. The show featured co-hosts Natalie Winters, Alad El-Yahoo, Libby Emmons, and Seamus Coghlan providing commentary on the 2024 presidential race and media coverage.
