Timcast IRL #231 - Democrats Say Trump Supporters Are The Country's BIGGEST Threat w/ Julio Rosas
Featuring: Julio Rosas
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 231 opened with host Tim Pool discussing a new Echelon Insights poll revealing divergent concerns between Republicans and Democrats. While Republicans remained focused on traditional issues like illegal immigration, Democrats ranked Trump supporters as their biggest concern—a development Tim characterized as creepy and worrying. The discussion delved into data from the New York Times and Pew Research showing Democrats have shifted dramatically left while Republicans remained relatively stable. Tim highlighted dangerous rhetoric from mainstream media, including an MSNBC host suggesting drone strikes on Trump supporters and The Root publishing an article calling for Republicans to be treated as enemy combatants. The show addressed FBI investigations into members of Congress regarding the Capitol incident, including the seizure of congressional phone records, which raised constitutional concerns about executive branch overreach. Tim noted Nancy Pelosi's apparent support for these investigations. The episode featured journalist and Marine Reservist Julio Rosas, who serves as senior writer at townhall.com. Rosas discussed his experience covering riots, immigration, and anti-government groups, mentioning he had recently visited the border in Tijuana. He noted receiving threats from anti-fa activists due to his journalism work. The episode included a sponsor message for Biotrust Multi-Collagen Ageless supplement, which Tim enthusiastically promoted, sharing his personal experience using the product for joint and bone health after skateboarding injuries.
