Timcast IRL #508 - Ben Shapiro And The Daily Wire TAKES OVER TIMCAST w/Jason Whitlock & Colin Wright
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 508 was recorded live from The Daily Wire headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee on April 14, 2022. Tim Pool hosted from his mobile trailer/RV while announcing that The Daily Wire crew, including Ben Shapiro, Andrew Clavin, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, and Jeremy Boreing, would temporarily take over the show's feed during the episode. The show featured guests Jason Whitlock from Blaze TV and Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist known for his work at Reality's Last Stand debunking pseudoscience around biological sex. The primary news story discussed was Texas Governor Greg Abbott's policy of busing illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., a response to the Biden administration's practice of distributing migrants throughout the country. Tim and guests debated the implications of this political maneuver, with Jen Psaki having called it a publicity stunt, while Ron DeSantis announced Florida would send migrants to Delaware. Colin Wright also appeared briefly to introduce himself and his work on gender ideology. The episode included typical Timcast production banter, with Ian Crossland operating cameras and Tim joking about the contrast between Daily Wire's professional production and Timcast's more modest setup. Tim mentioned plans to eventually do Friday night live events at venues with audiences.
