Episode Recap

Timcast IRL conducted a live election coverage episode on November 5, 2025, with hosts Tim Pool and Logan Hall discussing a chaotic Election Day marked by serious security threats across multiple states. The show opened with sponsors Anyone.io and Timcast Discord before diving into reports of polling station swatting incidents in New York City, particularly targeting locations in Harlem, Greenwich Village, and Milton. The hosts reported that the FBI and NYPD were investigating elaborate swatting attempts via emails sent to election workers between 6 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., though authorities deemed the threats not credible. Additional coverage included arrest details in New Jersey bomb threats against polling locations, with reports suggesting multiple individuals may have been responsible for the threats. The episode featured real-time election tracking, highlighting the Virginia Attorney General race where candidate Jay Jones held an 80.8% chance of victory despite controversial private messages he allegedly sent about murdering children of political rivals. The hosts expressed grave concerns about the implications should Jones win and assume control of law enforcement in Virginia. Additional segments touched on Dick Cheney's passing, a plane crash in Louisville, and potential U.S. airspace closures due to government shutdown concerns.
