Timcast IRL #821 MTG Shares EXPLICIT Images From Hunter Biden's Laptop w/ Vivek Ramaswamy
Featuring: Vivek Ramaswamy
Episode Recap
Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL episode #821 on July 20, 2023, joined by Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and co-hosts Ian Crossland and Hannah Clare. The episode opened with discussion of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene displaying explicit photos from Hunter Biden's laptop during a House Oversight Committee hearing, where two IRS whistleblowers testified that the president's son received preferential treatment during the investigation into his business dealings. Greene alleged Hunter Biden violated the Mann Act by bringing a woman across state lines and illegally writing off payments to prostitutes as business expenses. The panel debated the two-tiered justice system in America, with Vivek arguing that bureaucracy protects whichever party preserves its existence, currently the Democrat Party. Tim noted the IRS targeting conservative groups under Obama, and Vivek promised to shut down the bureaucracy rather than attempt futile reform. Other stories included Jason Aldean's music video being pulled for alleged racism and RFK Jr. proposing backing the US dollar with Bitcoin and gold. Vivek discussed his plans for pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and revitalizing American industry if elected.
