Timcast IRL #636 Biden Demanded Saudis Help Democrats WIN Midterms In SHOCKING Scandal w/Jim Antle
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 636 aired on October 14, 2022, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing breaking news surrounding allegations that the Biden administration engaged in a quid pro quo with Saudi Arabia, demanding they delay oil production cuts until after the November midterm elections. The discussion compared these allegations to the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, noting the irony that Democrats who condemned Trump's alleged quid pro quo were now facing similar accusations. Tim Pool was joined by Jim Antle, politics editor at Washington Examiner, who provided analysis on the geopolitical implications and the broader implications for American foreign policy. The show also covered Snopes confirming gas prices were under two dollars during Trump's presidency, a ballot measure in Oregon regarding potential secession to join Idaho, and AOC being heckled by progressives over her support for Ukraine funding and the Azov battalion. Tim emphasized the importance of supporting alternative platforms like Rumble and Parallel Economy amid claims of YouTube suppressing content and notifications for conservative creators.

Notable Quotes
“Joe Biden got caught in a very serious quid pro quo. Democrats are threatening to pull military aid from Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia won't help them win the midterms, which is, well, I can't say I'm surprised.”
— Tim Pool · opening segment introducing main story
“They claimed that Donald Trump was doing all of this, which he wasn't. Ukraine claimed there was no quid pro quo. And now the gist of the story is that the Democrats went to Saudi Arabia and said, do not halt oil production for one month, just one month.”
