Timcast IRL #776 TRUMP CNN TOWNHALL LIVE COMMENTARY w/Carpe Donktum & Crew
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #776 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts providing live commentary on the CNN town hall with Donald Trump. The show opened with Tim discussing a juror in the Trump rape trial who was removed for watching four episodes of the show, with Tim noting this demonstrated a cult-like behavior. The hosts covered the Bud Light boycott, noting sales were down 21-23% according to Nielsen data, with Dylan Mulvaney reportedly having trouble sleeping over the controversy. They analyzed the Trump rape trial verdict where Trump was found liable, discussing how a New York law passed about a year ago allowing assault victims to sue indefinitely was used in the case. Tim was critical of the legal proceedings, suggesting the law was potentially passed with this case in mind. Carpe Donktum joined as a guest meme maker who was banned from Twitter for several years and sued over a meme. Ben Stewart was introduced as a documentary filmmaker working on a film called Game of Money with Harrison Schultz. The co-hosts provided humorous commentary throughout the town hall coverage.
