Episode Recap

Timcast IRL Episode 986 aired on March 21, 2024, with Tim Pool hosting alongside co-hosts Clint Russell and Ian Crossland, along with Libby Emmons from the Postmillennial. The episode centered on a viral story about squatters in New York, where a woman whose parents died inherited their home only to find it occupied by squatters who changed the locks. When police arrived, they attempted to defend the squatters and even arrested the homeowner. The discussion evolved into vigilantism, with reports of vigilantes showing up to help evict squatters, causing the squatters to flee. The panel also covered the Daniel Penny case, where Penny pleaded not guilty to manslaughter after being labeled by ABC News as 'the man who choked a homeless man to death' rather than a good Samaritan who saved lives on a NYC train. Additional topics included Tony Bobulinski's testimony about witnessing Joe Biden commit crimes, AOC's reaction, and the broader rise in crime in New York City. Clint Russell discussed his candidacy for Libertarian Party Vice President, noting that LP delegates select both presidential and VP candidates separately. Libby Emmons discussed her background in journalism with the Postmillennial and recent collaborations with Toby Turner.
