Timcast IRL #526 - New SCOTUS Leaks CONFIRM They STILL Plan To Overturn Roe v. Wade w/Darryl Cooper
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 526, aired May 10, 2022, focused primarily on new Supreme Court leaks confirming conservative justices still planned to overturn Roe v. Wade. Tim Pool opened the show discussing how these latest leaks were less egregious than the initial draft release but still significant, as conservative clerks told the Washington Post that justices voting to overturn Roe and Casey had not changed their positions. Tim expressed frustration with the left's outrage, arguing the decision would simply return the issue to states rather than implementing a federal ban. The panel discussed the NPR theory that a conservative justice may have leaked the initial draft to lock in conservative positions. They covered protests targeting Supreme Court justices' homes, which Tim noted was illegal but doubted anyone would be arrested. The conversation shifted to riots and violence at pro-life centers and NGOs. Seamus from Freedom Tunes joined to discuss a sex strike movement gaining traction on the left, with Tim and the panel criticizing the tactic as objectifying to women and noting conservatives seemed unperturbed by the idea. Darryl Cooper was introduced as the guest, describing his Martyr Made long-form history podcast. The discussion touched on Elon Musk's comments about potentially dying in mysterious circumstances and food shortage concerns.

Notable Quotes
“I got to be honest, it's very strange to me because all this does is return the issue to the states. It's not a ban on abortion. Several states will ban abortion, but these are overwhelmingly Republican states anyway.”
— Tim Pool · opening discussion on SCOTUS leaks and what overturning Roe actually means
“The urban liberal women who are freaking out don't live in these places. I just, I understand some of them may and they may be concerned about it, but I just think we're not getting a real argument for the most part from the people screaming.”
— Tim Pool · critiquing left's reaction to potential Roe overturning
“Martyr Made is a long-form history podcast. Episodes that come out every several months. They're three, four, five, sometimes seven hours long. I dig deep into historical topics.”
— Darryl Cooper · introducing his podcast to the audience
“It's really offensive to women to assume that all of their political capital is just having sex. To imply that you view that to be a woman's role in society and what they're good for and the way that they should affect political change is really objectifying.”
— Tim Pool · criticizing the sex strike movement
“I just wanted to weigh in on this conversation about a possible sex strike, and I think that these ladies are using this as an excuse to pretend that they're getting laid. I don't believe any of them are actually getting any.”
— Ian Crossland · co-host commentary on the sex strike
