Timcast IRL #407 - National Guard DEPLOYING Over Rittenhouse Verdict w/FenixAmmo & RecoilMag
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 407, recorded on November 13, 2021, centered on the ongoing Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Tim Pool opened the show discussing the controversial jury instructions that could potentially allow prosecutors to convict Rittenhouse on all counts, including intentional homicide, if jurors determine he was provoked. The discussion highlighted how prosecutors introduced allegedly false computer-generated evidence that the defense struggled to counter, leading to problematic jury instructions about provocation that could eliminate Rittenhouse's self-defense claim. With 500 National Guard troops placed on standby amid anticipated riots following the verdict, the show examined the broader implications for the justice system and public safety. The episode featured guests Forrest Cooper, digital newsroom editor for Recoil magazine, and Justin, CEO of Phoenix Ammunition Company, who provided expert analysis on gun-related aspects of the case and Second Amendment concerns. The conversation also touched on recent revelations about the FBI allegedly leaking privileged communications from the Project Veritas raid to the New York Times, drawing comparisons to authoritarian regimes. Topics included Big Tech censorship, with Instagram reportedly removing accounts connected to Rittenhouse coverage, and broader discussions of dystopian political themes reflecting current cultural tensions.
