Timcast IRL #907 GOP Publishes January 6th Tapes PROVING It Was A HOAX, COPS HELPED w/Clint Russell
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 907, recorded on November 18, 2023, featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the release of January 6th Capitol footage by House Speaker Mike Johnson. Tim opened the show by highlighting how police were shown facilitating the events of January 6th, shaking hands with protesters, removing flex cuffs from detained individuals, and allowing people to walk through the halls. He argued this footage debunks the insurrection narrative and raised concerns about how this affects people currently on trial for obstructing government proceedings. Co-host Clint Russell joined the discussion along with Phil Labonte, lead singer of All That Remains. The panel also covered Michael Rapaport's surprising consideration of voting for Trump, likely due to his support for Israel, and the implications for Democrats who face losing progressive voters over their Israel stance. Elon Musk's controversy over calling decolonization a call for genocide on Twitter was also discussed. Tim promoted his Casper Coffee brand and the documentary 'Infringed' by Lauren Southern about gun culture.
