Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #739 aired on March 21, 2023, with Tim Pool hosting alongside co-host Ian Crossland and guest James Klug. The episode centered on reports that New York authorities were preparing security measures for an unprecedented arrest of former President Donald Trump, ahead of a likely indictment. The panel discussed the political implications, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's potential stance on extradition, with Tim suggesting DeSantis would likely refuse cooperation.

The hosts contrasted this with coverage of the 2020 riots, noting double standards in how protests are framed depending on political alignment.
