Timcast - Uncensored: Democrats Move To BAR Madison Cawthorne From Running Signal Something Dark is Coming w/Julie Kelly
Episode Recap
On this Timcast IRL episode from February 6, 2022, Tim Pool and co-hosts engaged in a heated discussion about the current state of American politics and what they perceive as an accelerating descent into civil conflict. The conversation opened with discussion of Madison Cawthorn being barred from running for office by Democrats, followed by analysis of the January 6th select committee's aggressive subpoena tactics targeting phone records of Arizona GOP chair Kelly Ward and others. The hosts drew historical parallels to the 1960 Hawaii presidential election where Democrats certified their own electors despite losing, arguing this establishes precedent for the current controversy over alternate electoral slates. A significant portion of the discussion focused on Ray Epps, the January 6th participant who was filmed encouraging others to enter the Capitol but was never charged, with the hosts expressing frustration at FBI counterterrorism chief Jill Sanborn's refusal to answer questions about FBI informant involvement in the riot. The panel also examined the Whitmer plot case as evidence of FBI entrapment tactics, noting that the bureau infiltrated militia groups, paid for conferences, and organized surveillance trips that led to the alleged kidnapping plot. Big Tech cooperation with government subpoenas was condemned, with examples cited of companies like AT&T, Verizon, and social media platforms readily handing over user data without legal resistance. The conversation concluded with grim predictions about the country's political trajectory heading into the 2022 midterm elections.

Notable Quotes
“I think we're in a civil war right now. Aside from the Madison Cawthorn thing, we have this story from Politico... they're saying that these people signed fraudulent elector slates and that they should be charged as insurrectionists for doing so.”
— Tim Pool · opening segment
“In 1960, Hawaii certified the Republican electors, but Democrats went and certified their own electors without the state, without winning the election. Richard Nixon said I'm going to go to the Democrats, even though it means I lose. This is historical precedent for the Democrats to come out now and claim that because they filed elector certificates.”
— Tim Pool · historical analysis
“The big tech companies, the cell providers, they are playing right along with DOJ and with this committee, tracking down people's private information, confirming their email addresses, their social media accounts. It's really terrifying how the government is working hand in hand with big tech to collect this.”
— Julie Kelly · guest perspective on big tech
“They had the FBI had all of the suspects who were like aiming their rifles and they're pretending they're going to go do this. But that's the FBI construct. Those are FBI guys in there.”
— Tim Pool · whitmer plot discussion
“I read it in every criminal indictment for January 6th defendants. They're like, we subpoenaed AT&T, Verizon. We subpoenaed Facebook, Instagram, Snap to confirm this person was identified. And then they match it up with their driver's license.”
