Timcast IRL #207 - Leftists Already Drawing Biden As Jesus, Media Is Nuts w/ Jack Murphy
Featuring: Jack Murphy
Episode Recap
Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL episode #207 on January 21, 2021, the day of Joe Biden's presidential inauguration. The show opened with Pool noting the inauguration was relatively uneventful despite 25,000 National Guard troops occupying Washington D.C. and demanding proof of legitimate business from citizens. He criticized the mainstream media for immediately pushing what he called insane propaganda, including a journalist claiming sunlight miraculously broke through clouds as Lady Gaga began singing during the ceremony. The host highlighted Jacobin magazine's cover art depicting Joe Biden as Jesus with worshipers, which he found particularly fascinating given the publication's socialist/DSA affiliation. Other stories discussed included Quartz's article questioning what happens if Biden dies and a YouGov poll showing Americans view other Americans as the biggest threat to the country. Pool expressed concern about establishment media calls for spy agencies to target white supremacy, warning this would be used to target regular non-woke Americans. Guest Jack Murphy joined the show, discussing the political landscape and promoting his book Democrats Are Deplorable. The co-host noted Portland Antifa had smashed up the DNC headquarters, which was described as entirely predictable. Flex Pro Meals was sponsored, with Pool reading an ad read promoting their meal preparation service using code TIMCAST20 for 20% off.
