Timcast IRL #974 Trump WINS 9-0 SCOTUS Ruling, Democrats LIVID Call To DISSOLVE SCOTUS w/Sean Davis
Episode Recap
In this Timcast IRL episode recorded on March 5, 2024, Tim Pool and co-hosts discussed the Supreme Court's historic 9-0 ruling that states cannot remove presidential candidates from ballots based on the 14th Amendment's Section 3. The discussion centered on how the liberal justices expressed concern that the majority essentially punted the issue to Congress, while progressive media figures like Keith Olbermann responded with calls to dissolve the Supreme Court entirely. Guest Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist, provided conservative analysis on the ruling and its implications for the 2024 election. The panel also covered Nikki Haley's victory in the DC Republican primary, examining how media framed her win in a heavily Democratic area as a significant Trump defeat despite receiving only about 1,200 votes. Additionally, the show touched on leaked German audio suggesting officials discussed bombing a bridge to Crimea, raising concerns about escalating tensions and potential World War III scenarios. Tim promoted upcoming member-only live shows and various Cast Brew Coffee products throughout the episode.

Notable Quotes

“They are basically saying they know they can't win and this is their only tactic to stop Donald Trump from winning is to effectively cheat and the Supreme Court nine to zero all of them said you're nuts.”

“The Supreme Court ruled states can't kick presidents off the ballot. It was a 9-0 decision. The Supreme Court on Monday handed a sweeping win to former President Trump by ruling that states cannot kick him off the ballot over his actions leading up to January 6th attack at the Capitol.”
— Tim Pool · reading NBC News coverage with commentary
“You're playing dirty games. They said the states do not have the authority to enforce section 3 of the 14th amendment, thank you and have a nice day. Furthermore, Congress will be the vehicle by which you can remedy these circumstances.”
