Timcast IRL #832 Trump Pleads Not Guilty To Conspiracy Charges, Could Be REMANDED w/Liz Wheeler
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 832 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the major news of Trump's not guilty plea to conspiracy charges related to the 2023 federal case. Liz Wheeler joined the show to provide commentary on the political implications of the prosecution. Tim opened by discussing Trump's arraignment in Washington DC, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. Tim argued that the fact Trump was not remanded to custody undermines the legitimacy of the case, noting that prosecutors accusing someone of trying to overthrow the government would typically seek detention. The discussion also covered Jack Smith's push for a speedy trial, which Tim saw as politically motivated to impact the upcoming primaries. Liz Wheeler's new book "Hide Your Children, Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids" was mentioned during her introduction. The show also touched on Ron DeSantis's controversial comments about intelligence agencies, a leaked Tucker Carlson clip suggesting January 6th may have been a cover-up, and speculation about potential 2024 matchups between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom.

Notable Quotes
“The entire case against Trump, and I made this argument the other night, was it's obviously intended to destroy the pattern and momentum of his campaign, right? Jack Smith was happily investigating for years. And then all of a sudden he's ready and we have to rush this prosecution. Doesn't seem suspicious at all. Oh, wait, of course, it's complete convenience.”
— Tim Pool · opening discussion of Trump prosecution
“They're accusing him of trying to overthrow the government. That's what they're saying on MSNBC. This guy owns a 757, a Cessna Citation. He owns two helicopters. He apparently probably has access to more jets than just those, not to mention being a billionaire, he can easily charter a private jet if they legitimately thought Trump was a threat to democracy and that he was trying to overthrow the government. How could they not order him to be remanded?”

— Liz Wheeler · guest introduction and book promotion
“I kind of feel like that's what the deep state is hoping for. Gavin Newsom, not Joe Biden and Ron DeSantis, not Donald Trump. I am not trying to imply that either of them are working for the deep state or the intelligence agencies. I am saying that they don't want a failing Joe Biden because he can't win and they despise Donald Trump.”
— Tim Pool · political analysis of 2024 scenarios
“They're trying to get whatever they can. Thus, Jack Smith is like, let's get this speedy and rushed through.”
