Timcast IRL #864 Ray Epps CHARGED By DOJ, Faces ONE Misdemeanor Sparking MORE Theories w/Kevin Sorbo
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #864 aired on September 20, 2023, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing several major news stories of the day. The primary topic centered on Ray Epps, the January 6th protester who was finally charged by the DOJ with a single misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. Tim and his panel analyzed how this minimal charge, seen as a slap on the wrist, only reinforced conspiracy theories that Epps was a federal informant given his documented presence at the Capitol barricades and statements about orchestrating the breach. The conversation then moved to a bizarre story about Democrats telling the Washington Post that President Joe Biden's death is imminent due to his age, with Biden himself reportedly saying he fears he won't live long enough to see his son Hunter's legal issues resolved. The panel also covered Russell Brand's YouTube demonetization, which Tim called an attempt to unperson the comedian. Tim announced that while Donald Trump Jr. couldn't make the TimCast Miami event, James O'Keefe would be appearing instead. Actor Kevin Sorbo joined as the guest, discussing his career and new projects.
