Timcast IRL #483 - US CONFIRMS BioLabs In Ukraine, Fear Russian Could Seize Them w/Greg Price
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #483 aired on March 9, 2022, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the breaking news that the US government confirmed the existence of biolabs in Ukraine. During Senate testimony, Victoria Nuland acknowledged Ukraine has biological research facilities and expressed concern that Russia may seize them. The panel examined how mainstream media fact-checked extreme versions of the story while ignoring the confirmed reality. Host Tim Pool criticized media outlets for conflating conspiracy theories with actual documented information. The conversation shifted to record-high gas prices following the ban on Russian oil imports, with Tim mocking Stephen Colbert's comment about paying more at the pump being worth it for a clean conscience. The hosts debated Florida's parental rights in education bill, with Tim calling out Democrats for mischaracterizing it as the don't say gay bill when it primarily requires schools to notify parents of medical issues. Greg Price joined the discussion, sharing his experience with the January 6th committee as his CEO Alex Brujewicz was subpoenaed, describing it as a sham investigation targeting Trump supporters who had nothing to do with the Capitol riot.
