Timcast IRL #468 - Someone Tried ASSASSINATING Kentucky Democrat w/Daniel Turner & Olivia Rondeau
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 468 aired on February 15, 2022, with hosts Tim Pool and co-host Ian Crossland joined by guests Daniel Turner and Olivia Rondeau. The episode opened with breaking news about the Durham investigation's latest filing implicating the Clinton campaign in spying on both candidate Trump and the executive office. Tim discussed the potential legal implications, noting that while Trump suggested death penalty consequences, treason typically requires aiding a foreign adversary in wartime, whereas sedition involves subversion of government. The conversation shifted to breaking news from Louisville, Kentucky, where Democratic mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg was shot at his campaign office, with a bullet grazing his clothing. Tim expressed concern about escalating political tensions and polarization, while emphasizing hope that this was merely the act of an unwell individual rather than politically motivated. The panel discussed Adam Kinzinger's recent comments about targeted assassinations potentially occurring if a new civil war emerged. Additional topics included Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's invocation of emergency war powers to suppress trucker protests, the ongoing Joe Rogan controversy on Spotify, AOC's recent news appearances, and developments involving CNN. The hosts and guests engaged in their signature culture war commentary throughout the discussion.
