Timcast IRL #982 Biden Pushes Leftist HATE CRIME HOAX About Nex Benedict w/Corey DeAngelis
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #982, recorded on March 15, 2024, opened with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing breaking news from New York involving a viral subway shooting incident. The panel highlighted how the National Guard deployment signaled failed Democratic policies and rising crime rates. The show pivoted to what Tim called the Nex Benedict hate crime hoax, explaining how the media initially blamed conservative voices like Libs of TikTok for the teenager's death, claiming it was a hate crime. However, Tim explained that body camera and security footage debunked this narrative, revealing that Nex Benedict committed suicide unrelated to the alleged bullying incident. Despite the debunking, President Biden issued a statement pushing the false narrative, which the panel vigorously debunked. Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, joined the discussion to address education freedom and school choice. Hannah Clare Brimelow from SCNR.com and Libby Emmons, Editor-in-Chief at The Postmillennial, provided additional commentary on media coverage and the Sweet Baby Inc controversy being labeled Gamergate 2.0 by corporate press. Tim also celebrated Pi Day by purchasing various pies from the supermarket and encouraged viewers to support the show through Cast Brew Coffee purchases and TimCast membership.
