Timcast IRL #803 Hunter WALKS As Trump Faces 100 Years In Jail w/Anthony Cabassa
Episode Recap
In this Timcast IRL episode, Tim Pool and co-hosts discuss the breaking news of Hunter Biden's plea deal, where President Biden's son agreed to plead guilty to tax crimes and a pretrial diversion on a firearms charge. Tim immediately challenges media framing, arguing this represents a three-tiered justice system where elites receive preferential treatment. The panel discusses how an ordinary citizen lying to the ATF would face far harsher consequences. Anthony Cabassa joins as a guest to provide California political perspective, particularly regarding Gavin Newsom's connection to the fundraising event and his potential 2024/2028 presidential ambitions. The hosts also address the ongoing Titanic submarine tragedy where people are trapped at the ocean floor, with Riley Gaines' Senate testimony about women's sports and transgender participation serving as another major topic of discussion.
