Featuring: George Papadopoulos
Episode Recap
Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL on April 25, 2025, with George Papadopoulos, Phil Labonte, and Mary Morgan as co-hosts. The main discussion centered on breaking news regarding a Democratic judge in New Mexico who allegedly harbored a Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang member at his home. The judge's residence was raided by authorities, and while he was initially reported as arrested, he was later released. However, his wife was taken into ICE custody, raising questions about her immigration status. Tim Pool argued that this incident exemplifies broader concerns about Democrats defending criminal organizations and illegal immigrants, suggesting that in border communities and sanctuary states, individuals with ties to these groups may gain positions of local power. The panel also discussed the Canadian election, with Kalshi prediction markets showing the Liberal Party with an 85% chance to win. Additionally, the hosts addressed Larry David's controversial op-ed comparing Bill Maher's meeting with Donald Trump to meeting Hitler. George Papadopoulos shared his background as a former Trump and Ben Carson advisor who was caught up in the Russia investigation, while Phil Labonte discussed his anti-communist perspective as the lead singer of All That Remains.
