Timcast IRL #1117 Secret Service STOOD DOWN During Trump Assassination Attempt Says Report w/CJ Pearson
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 1117 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the latest developments in the Secret Service investigation surrounding the Trump assassination attempt. A Senate report revealed that the Secret Service had credible intelligence of threats against Trump at the Butler rally but failed to raise the threat level. Tim highlighted that agents witnessed police running toward the would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, with guns drawn, yet the Secret Service still stood down in every instance. The discussion also covered how the Secret Service was informed of Crooks 27 minutes before shots were fired but never told Trump to get off the stage. Guest CJ Pearson, co-chairman of the RNC Youth Advisory Council, joined to discuss the upcoming election and Generation Z voter sentiment. The panel also covered another arrest of a man threatening Trump's life, a drunk Secret Service agent assaulting a Kamala staffer, and lighter stories including Diddy's baby oil bulk purchases and Hooters potentially closing locations due to economic downturn.

Notable Quotes
“The Senate report has come out and it shows that the Secret Service had credible intelligence of the threat against Trump. They witnessed police running towards the would-be assassin in Butler with their guns drawn. And somehow, in every single instance, the Secret Service stood down.”
— Tim Pool · opening statement on main story
“They saw a guy walking around with a range finder. No, no, no increase in threat level. But I think one of the most damning things is that despite knowing that law enforcement were running down a guy armed with a rifle while people were screaming, they still stood down. None of it makes sense.”
— Tim Pool · detailed analysis of Secret Service failures
“I think there are a lot of young people, especially among Generation Z, who are tired of the woke nonsense and frankly can't afford to support Kamala Harris again. We can't afford groceries, can't afford rent, can't afford to own a home in Kamala Harris.”
— CJ Pearson · youth voter perspective on election
“That's taking forever. But our national expansion plan, I'll just call it that, actually moving along swimmingly.”
