Episode Recap

Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL on October 22, 2025, with co-hosts Ian Crossland and special guest Tony Ortiz from Current Revolt. The episode opened with sponsor reads for Backyard Butchers and Field of Greens before diving into the day's major stories. The primary discussion centered on a shocking incident in Portland where police explicitly protected Antifa members from arrest by federal DHS agents, with feds and local police getting into arguments over the arrests. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dillon stated this was precisely why Trump needed to deploy the National Guard. The Ninth Circuit Court ruled in favor of Trump's ability to deploy the National Guard, adding to the legal victories. Additional stories included a DOJ referral of a No King's protester who allegedly called for violence, and a scuffle involving a U.S. Marshal and an illegal immigrant. Tim discussed Trump's White House renovation plans, mocking Hillary Clinton's criticism of the ballroom construction. Tony Ortiz received praise from Philibonte for his investigative financial journalism into political candidates. The episode also featured appearances from Alad Eliyahu (White House correspondent) and Philibonte (lead singer of All That Remains), with humor about guest scheduling including a mention of Nick Fuentes' cancelled appearance.
