Timcast IRL #331 - Over 35% Of U.S. Want To Secede, Balkanize The USA w/Actual Justice Warrior
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 331 aired on July 16, 2021, with Tim Pool hosting alongside co-hosts. The episode opened with Tim announcing that TimCast.com was approaching its soft launch target for Monday, explaining that certain content about election audits in Arizona and Georgia couldn't be discussed on YouTube but would be covered on their new platform. The main discussion centered on Joe Biden's statement labeling Republicans as the biggest threat to democracy since the Civil War, which Tim argued was effectively declaring political war on half the country. A significant portion of the show focused on a new poll revealing that over 35% of Americans want their regions to break away and balkanize the country, with 44% in the South and 39% in Western states supporting secession. Guest Actual Justice Warrior joined to discuss economic issues, particularly the Consumer Price Index, inflation, food shortages, and home buying challenges facing Americans. The conversation also covered BlackRock and Blackstone investment firms purchasing homes and rental properties, with the guest clarifying misconceptions about the two separate companies. Tim and the co-hosts debated whether the culture war would end with one dominant faction or multiple regional unions, with Tim expressing concern about the increasingly hostile political rhetoric coming from Democratic leadership.
