Timcast IRL #856 DOJ Seeks PRISON For Pundit Over J6 Speech, Owen Shroyer Targeted w/Martha Bueno
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 856, recorded on September 8, 2023, featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the Department of Justice's decision to seek 120 days in prison for InfoWars host Owen Shroyer over his January 6th-related speech. Tim opened the show by expressing frustration that he had predicted this outcome, warning that after targeting Trump and his lawyers, the DOJ would come after pundits who advocated for or encouraged actions on January 6th. The discussion centered on Shroyer not entering the Capitol but being on Capitol grounds with a permit for a separate rally, and how prosecutors cited his pre, during, and post-event speech in sentencing recommendations. The show also covered positive polling news for Trump against Biden according to CNN, and a controversial Yankees stadium banner. The episode featured guest Martha Bueno, a liberty activist who notably used OnlyFans as a campaign platform and launched a delta 8 company called Our Good. Phil LaBonte from heavy metal band All That Remains also joined, discussing anti-communist themes and a lighter segment about potentially polishing the Statue of Liberty. The show promoted the upcoming TimCast IRL Miami live event on October 6th featuring Donald Trump Jr., Patrick Bet-David, and Matt Gaetz.
