Timcast IRL #999 The View ROASTED For Saying Solar Eclipse Caused By CLIMATE CHANGE w/Tiffany Justice
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #999 aired on April 9, 2024, the day after the major solar eclipse crossed the United States. Tim Pool opened the show discussing the eclipse experience from his location in the 90% visibility zone, noting the surprisingly dark conditions despite not reaching totality. He expressed frustration with news coverage featuring people calling the eclipse a spiritual moment, characterizing it as boring and repetitive. The main discussion centered on a viral moment from The View where co-host Sunny Hostin claimed the solar eclipse, cicadas, and earthquakes were caused by climate change, with Whoopi Goldberg attempting to correct her but also appearing confused on the topic. Tim roasted the hosts for their pseudo-scientific claims and warned about how such misinformation shapes voter opinions. The show also covered Donald Trump's newly released abortion plan, which delegates the issue to states rather than supporting a federal ban or protection. Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, joined as the guest to discuss parental rights in education and getting conservatives to run for office. Hannah Clare Brimelow from Scanner News also appeared on the panel.

Notable Quotes
“The craziest thing was on The View, Sonny Hostin said that the solar eclipse, that cicadas and earthquakes were climate change. And that's what many people are watching. Now, to be fair, Whoopi Goldberg desperately tried to correct Sonny Hostin, but also didn't know what she was talking about either. So they just sounded all very, very stupid.”
