Timcast IRL #522 - Left Promotes HORSE MEDICINE To Give Abortions, Call For REVOLUTION w/Helena Kerschner
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL #522 aired on May 4, 2022, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing several urgent topics. The episode opened with a shocking revelation about Vice publishing an article advocating for horse medicine (misoprostol and ivermectin) as DIY abortion methods following the Roe v. Wade draft leak. The hosts discussed the Supreme Court leak confirmed by Chief Justice John Roberts, noting conspiracy theories about who was responsible for the breach. The conversation highlighted how the political left is openly calling for revolution and civil war in response to potential abortion restrictions. The show then welcomed Helena Kerschner, a detransitioned woman who previously identified as trans for five years and took testosterone for a year and a half. Before introducing Helena, Tim mentioned a Florida case where a family is suing a school for secretly discussing gender transition with their middle schooler without parental knowledge. Seamus, who creates Freedom Tunes, appeared in studio and pointed out the irony that the horse medicine narrative was initially a strawman attack on conservatives. Ian Crossland also participated, discussing his favorite number 4 from the board game Sorry. The episode built toward a members-only segment on these topics later that evening.
