Timcast IRL #956 Tucker Carlson Alleged To Be On KILL LIST Over Putin Interview, Faces EU SANCTIONS
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #956 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the viral claims that Tucker Carlson was placed on a kill list following his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The show opened with clarification that while the claims were partially accurate, they were also partially incorrect—Carlson had allegedly been on the target list since August, not newly added due to the Putin interview, and it was not literally a kill list but rather an effective target list. The hosts discussed the EU Parliament's consideration of sanctions against Carlson over his Putin interview, with several parliamentary members expressing intent to review him. Tim Pool argued that the real issue was that the United States is effectively at war with Russia without formal congressional declaration, and that Carlson's interview threatened to expose this reality to the American public. He referenced Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's recent comments about potentially losing the war as evidence of this undeclared conflict. The show also touched on the collapsed border bill and Bernie Sanders' opposition to funding Israel. Co-hosts Natalie Winters and Hannah-Claire Brimelow joined the discussion, with Winters mentioning her new clothing brand "She's So Right" and Brimelow discussing her work at SCNR.com.
