Timcast IRL #881 Police Prepare For Global Day of Jihad Tomorrow Friday The 13th w/Blaire White
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL #881 aired on October 13, 2023, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing escalating tensions following Hamas calling for a global day of jihad on Friday the 13th. The show opened with breaking news about LAPD increasing patrols in response to the threat, with similar measures being implemented by police departments in Philadelphia and New York. Tim was particularly critical of how mainstream media softened the language around jihad, noting that news outlets were referring to jihadists as simply 'protesters' and comparing this to the infamous media phrase 'mostly peaceful protests' from 2020. The conversation also touched on the use of euphemistic language by authorities, drawing parallels to the Obama-era practice of referring to 'military age men' instead of adults. Co-host Brett Dasovic joined the panel, and YouTuber Blair White was introduced as a guest. The hosts expressed serious concerns about public safety and the potential for violence during the scheduled protests.
