Episode Recap

Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL #1056 with co-hosts and guest Arthur Bloom, discussing several significant political stories including the GOP's announcement to use inherent contempt powers to arrest Attorney General Merrick Garland for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas regarding the Biden classified documents case. The show covered the Supreme Court's decision that Missouri lacked standing to challenge federal censorship, WikiLeaks' deletion of the DNC email archive potentially connected to Julian Assange's plea agreement, and CNN's controversial debate moderation. Tim announced plans to multi-stream live fact-checking commentary during the CNN debate across multiple platforms despite warnings about potential copyright strikes, encouraging viewers to become members to support the effort. Guest Arthur Bloom discussed his recent $10 million defamation lawsuit victory against the former owner of Ted Bundy's Volkswagen, who now owes him $10,000.

Notable Quotes

The Republicans want to know why Merrick Garland will not turn over any of the evidence. They subpoenaed him. He refused. They referred him for criminal charges. The DOJ said no.

Tim Pool · explaining the Garland contempt situation

CNN is desperate. They are dying and are going to lash out in desperation. So this likely means the likelihood that they make claims against all these other channels is substantial.

Tim Pool · warning about CNN debate coverage

The fellow who sued me and I've now beaten him is the former owner of Ted Bundy's Volkswagen. He sued me for $10 million and I beat him a couple of months ago and he owes me 10 grand and I've so far been unable to collect.

Arthur Bloom · describing his defamation lawsuit victory

Every legal channel we've gone through, every opinion is it's unquestionably fair use. But I'll save that for the deeper show.
