Episode Recap
On the December 12, 2024 episode of Timcast IRL, Tim Pool and his co-hosts discussed the alarming reports of mystery drones flying over New Jersey and Delaware. GOP Congressman Jeff Andrews claimed that Iran had launched a mothership off the East Coast that was dispatching SUV-sized drones over the region, raising national security concerns given Trump's nearby properties.
