Timcast IRL #1036 Trump Trial Judge RIGS JURY AGAINST Trump, Says PICK ANY CRIME w/Mike Lindell
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 1036 aired on May 30, 2024, featuring Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the breaking developments in Donald Trump's hush money trial. The show opened with coverage of the jury deliberations ending without a verdict, but the major focus centered on Judge Juan Merchan's controversial jury instructions. Tim explained that the judge instructed jurors they must unanimously agree Trump committed a crime, but they can disagree on which underlying crime—allowing them to pick from three different options without requiring unanimous agreement on which crime was actually committed. This led Tim and guests to declare the trial rigged against Trump. The AP's fact-check was discussed as a misleading deflection. Mike Lindell joined as the primary guest, discussing his ongoing legal battles, debanking, and media cancellations surrounding MyPillow, as well as his work on election security. Phil Labonte from All That Remains and Hannah Clare Brimel from SCNR.com participated in the discussion. The show also covered Biden's confrontation with a reporter and Hunter Biden's potential lawsuit against Fox News for calling him a degenerate crackhead. Tim promoted Cast Brew Coffee and Ian Crossland's Graphene Dream product available at castbrew.com, while explaining the membership program at timcast.com with its screening process for call-in guests.
