Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 365, recorded on September 3, 2021, featured hosts Tim Pool and Chris Carr discussing several major news stories with guest Daniel Turner. The episode opened with a discussion about Steve Bannon's predictions regarding parent protests over school COVID-19 policies. The main topic centered on students across Colorado walking out of schools in protest of mask mandates, with students at Thunder Ridge High School and Legend High School in the Denver area holding signs reading "my body, my choice" and telling reporters that those scared of the virus should stay home. Tim Pool expressed optimism about students standing up for themselves while noting that most student protests typically just repeat adult talking points. A significant CNN report was highlighted stating that according to a CDC survey, 80% of people above age 16 have immunity, which exceeds the 60-70% threshold typically cited for herd immunity. Additional stories discussed included Texas and Supreme Court rulings, as well as Jay Leno's reported capitulation to cancel culture. Guest Daniel Turner, representing Power of the Future, was introduced to discuss energy and environmental issues, while Chris Carr was present as executive editor at TimCast.com.
