Timcast IRL #355 - Biden Facing 25th Amendment REMOVAL But Kamala UNFIT Say Voters w/Delano Squires
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 355 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts including Ian Crossland discussing the mounting chaos within the Biden administration. The episode opened with discussion of the 25th Amendment trending on Twitter, as analysts and former military personnel criticized the handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Guest Delano Squires, a contributor for The Blaze and scholar with the 1776 Unites Project, joined the discussion. The panel examined Biden's ABC interview where he made apparently false statements about U.S. troops in Syria and the likelihood of Taliban takeover. They also addressed new polling showing 55% of Americans believe Kamala Harris is unfit for office, raising questions about potential succession if Biden were removed. The conversation shifted to vaccine mandates spreading across the country, particularly in Oregon where teachers are being required to vaccinate, with reports of workers threatening to quit rather than comply. Squires shared his background as a homeschool father of three and discussed his approach to writing about family, faith, and education issues from a Christian worldview. The episode concluded with calls for viewer support through TimCast membership.
