Timcast IRL #868 BOYCOTT After Ad Firms DROP RUMBLE For Defending Russell Brandw/Andy Ngo & Patriot J
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #868 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the growing boycott against Rumble after advertisers like Burger King, HelloFresh, and ASOS pulled their ads following Rumble's refusal to demonetize Russell Brand after UK Parliament sent letters demanding his content be removed. The show covered the controversial decision by major brands to target Rumble before any legal conviction, with Tim noting he'd been boycotting Burger King for years due to poor food quality. The discussion shifted to international affairs, including U.S. Abrams tanks arriving in Ukraine and reports of American taxpayer dollars funding Ukrainian small businesses. A particularly alarming segment covered the Canadian Parliament's standing ovation for a Ukrainian Nazi, which Tim characterized as evidence of extreme cult-like support for Ukraine. Political polling was addressed, with Washington Post's own poll showing Trump leading Biden by 10 points being dismissed as an outlier despite aggregate polling consistently showing Trump's lead. Andy Ngo joined to discuss his recent experience in Richmond, Virginia, where his speaking event was canceled at multiple venues due to far-left pressure campaigns labeling him a neo-Nazi, and how a Democratic Party official posted a picture of someone holding dynamite with the caption about attending his event. Patriot Jay and Hannah Clare Brimlow also participated in the panel discussion.
