Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 604 featured Tim Pool discussing Joe Rogan's recent comments encouraging viewers to vote Republican, along with co-hosts Drew Hernandez, Aldo Buttazzoni, and Ian Crossland. The conversation opened with analysis of Joe Rogan's podcast episode with Aaron Rodgers where Rogan made the comment in response to questions about people whose businesses were destroyed by COVID lockdowns. Tim noted Rogan also made an interesting point about 75 percent of TV advertising in 2020 coming from pharmaceutical companies. The panel then transitioned to discussing President Joe Biden's continued characterization of Trump supporters as fascists and semi-fascists, and Donald Trump's calls for either an immediate redo of the 2020 election or his reinstatement as president. Tim highlighted FBI actions including refusing to investigate Hunter Biden while simultaneously contacting Facebook about alleged Russian disinformation, which Tim argued constituted active election interference.
