Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #843 aired on August 19, 2023, with Tim Pool hosting alongside co-hosts Ian Crossland and Kellen. The episode featured Laura Loomer, an investigative journalist and conservative activist who gained notoriety for her undercover work with Project Veritas and subsequent deplatforming from social media. The main discussion centered on Donald Trump's decision to skip the Fox News Republican primary debate and instead conduct a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on the same day. The panel analyzed the political implications of this strategy and how it would impact the GOP primary race. Loomer shared stories of her activism, including her controversial protests at Nancy Pelosi's and Gavin Newsom's residences where she brought illegal aliens to highlight Democratic politicians' hypocrisy on immigration. The show also touched on Elon Musk's announcement about removing the block feature on X (formerly Twitter), potential implications for the platform with Apple, and the lighter story of Kid Rock reportedly drinking Bud Light.
