Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 618, recorded on September 20, 2022, featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing President Joe Biden's controversial 60 Minutes interview where he declared the COVID-19 pandemic over. The conversation opened with a BetMGM Casino advertisement before diving into the week's major news. Tim analyzed Biden's performance during the CBS interview, highlighting his incoherent response when asked about his age and mental acuity, as well as his claim that the U.S. would use military force to defend Taiwan—claims the White House subsequently walked back for the fourth time.
