Episode Recap

Timcast IRL episode #865 aired on September 21, 2023, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the rapidly unfolding situation surrounding Russell Brand. The episode opened with Tim Pool noting that what was initially labeled as a conspiracy theory was proven true within days—specifically that the UK government had sent letters to social media platforms TikTok and Rumble demanding the demonetization of Russell Brand following sexual assault allegations. Rumble publicly released the letter from the UK Parliament's Culture, Media, and Sports Committee, with CEO Chris Pavone (Mario Noffel referenced) issuing a statement refusing to comply, declaring such action would violate their company values. Tim Pool highlighted the speed of this confirmation, noting it was the fastest a conspiracy theory had been proven true. Additional stories included Ray Epps pleading guilty, and an emergency declaration at Eagle Pass, Texas, which Tim noted was actually designed to provide extra funding to assist illegal immigrants rather than stop them. Tim also promoted the upcoming Timcast IRL live event in Miami on October 6th, featuring Patrick Bet-David, James O'Keefe, Matt Gaetz, and Luke Rutkowski. Guests on the episode included Harrison Smith (host of American Journal on InfoWars), Chef Andrew Gruel (owner of AmericanGravy.com discussing parallel economic brick and mortar stores), and Phil Bonti (lead singer of All That Remains).

Notable Quotes

“Typically when there's a conspiracy theory, it takes a few months, maybe a couple years, before it turns out that it was true. The media will debunk it, they'll claim. They'll say it's debunked, and the story's fake.”

— Tim Pool · opening about conspiracy theory confirmation speed

“We now have Rumble releasing a letter from the UK government trying to get Russell Brand demonetized on Rumble. Oh so conspiracy confirmed. Wow, that was fast. I thought that one was going to take a few, they'd cancel him, we'd forget all about it, two years would go by and they'd be like, oh by the way that was us.”

— Tim Pool · main discussion about government targeting Russell Brand

“The emergency declaration, it's not to stop the illegal immigrants. It's to help them. The emergency declaration gets them extra funding so they can assist these individuals as they illegally enter the country.”

— Tim Pool · discussion about Eagle Pass Texas emergency declaration

“Although it may be politically correct and socially easier for Rumble to join a cancel culture mob, doing so would be a violation of our company's values and mission.”
