Timcast IRL #902 New GOP House Speaker REFUSES To Impeach Biden, Says NO EVIDENCE w/Tayler Hansen
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 902 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the new GOP House Speaker's refusal to impeach President Biden, claiming insufficient evidence. The discussion opened with Tim expressing approval of the Speaker's decision, suggesting he prefers Biden as the Democratic nominee in 2024 over Trump, who leads in five of six swing states. The hosts criticized mainstream media for downplaying the story with passive headlines about impeachment momentum slowing rather than the Speaker outright refusing to impeach. Taylor Hansen, a field reporter for Tenant Media, joined the discussion, along with Hannah Clare Brimlow, a writer for Timcast.com, and Carter Banks, the music producer. The episode touched on Eric Adams' FBI raid related to donations to Turkey, though the transcript cuts off before extensive coverage of that topic. The show promoted Timcast membership and the documentary 'Infringed' about gun rights.

“When we hear the news that the GOP is saying insufficient evidence, you try pulling up stories. No, no. Newzell is running a headline breaking. Republicans say no impeachment of Biden. They're not doing it. They're running these passive headlines.”
