Episode Recap

In this episode of Timcast IRL, Tim Pool and co-host Seamus Coghlan (filling in for the absent Ian Crossland) discussed several major news stories with guest Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project. The primary topic was the breaking news that Jussie Smollett would be released from jail after serving only six days of his 150-day sentence for falsely reporting a hate crime, as judges agreed to release him during his appeal process. The hosts expressed concern that such a short sentence sets a dangerous precedent and may encourage more hate crime hoaxes. They referenced Andy Ngo and Matt Walsh's observations that nearly every major hate crime story in recent years has turned out to be a hoax. The conversation also covered a BLM activist indicted on 18 felony fraud charges, Disney workers protesting Florida's parental rights bill, and updates on the Ukraine situation. Terry Schilling discussed his organization's work passing pro-women's sports legislation in 11 states, describing American Principles Project as the NRA for families. Seamus Coghlan promoted his YouTube channel Freedom Tunes, which creates educational cartoons and political satire. Tim reminded viewers to become members at TimCast.com for exclusive uncensored content.

Notable Quotes

“He's a complete egomaniac who wanted people to think that there was some kind of conspiracy behind it. There's something sociopathic about this guy.”

— Tim Pool · discussing Jussie Smollett's behavior in jail

“Court has agreed that he should be released. Why? Because he's appealing, and he would be in jail. He would get out of jail, actually, after the appeals process ended. So it all seems all just so silly.”

— Tim Pool · opening segment on Smollett release

“We are the NRA, but for families. So we don't do guns. We do families. We helped start the anti-transgender sports fight.”

— Terry Schilling · introducing American Principles Project

“This whole news story, right? Because it's setting an example. The whole point of punishing these people is to show society what happens when you do something like this and so he gets out of jail now after six days there's going to be a lot more hoaxes”

— Tim Pool · warning about precedent set by Smollett sentence

“The industrial military complex is constantly trying to use World War II nostalgia to get us involved in new conflicts. I think it's pretty funny, and you guys will like it.”
