Episode Recap

Timcast IRL episode 150, recorded on October 17, 2020, centered on the explosive Hunter Biden laptop story and the subsequent media censorship surrounding it. Tim Pool opened the show discussing the New York Post's reporting on emails linking Hunter Biden to his father, Joe Biden, including communications about business meetings. Tim expressed disbelief at how news organizations and social media platforms responded by demanding verification and then outright banning the story. He noted that even the Washington Post ran a story suggesting Rudy Giuliani was a victim of a Russian disinformation campaign, while Facebook and Twitter removed the story entirely. Tim argued that the establishment, including mainstream media, big tech, and political donors, was in a panic over these revelations. Phil Labonte from the metal band All That Remains joined the show, identifying himself as a libertarian who voted for Trump in 2016 but planned to vote for Jo Jorgensen in 2020. The discussion touched on critical race theory, with Phil and Tim discussing Ibram Kendi's influence and Amy Barrett's confirmation hearings. Phil offered his perspective on how he believed Biden's policies would actually increase racial consciousness among white people, contrasting this with what he saw as Trump's lack of progress on white nationalist priorities. The conversation also covered California's Prop 16 repeal of Prop 209 regarding affirmative action.
