DOJ Releases Charlie Kirk Assassin Messages, Trans Left Aligned Confirmed
Episode Recap
Tim Pool and the Timcast IRL crew covered a chaotic day of breaking news on September 17, 2025. The main story centered on the DOJ releasing text messages between the Charlie Kirk assassin and his lover, with discussion about whether the messages were staged to absolve other potential co-conspirators, particularly a potential transgender online group. An elderly man was detained for allegedly helping the shooter escape and was charged with child abuse images. The show also covered Kash Patel's explosive Senate hearing where he confronted Cory Booker and Adam Schiff, during which Chuck Grassley revealed the FBI had a probe into 100 conservative groups including TPUSA. Tate Brown joined as a guest after Adam Johnson failed to appear, reportedly appearing on Alex Stein's show instead. The episode included ad reads for CrowdHealth and Alio Capital.
