Timcast IRL #603 - Proud Boy Founder Gavin McInnes ARRESTED LIVE According To Associate w/Gprime85
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 603 aired on August 27, 2022, with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing breaking news surrounding Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys, who reportedly appeared to be arrested live during his Censored TV broadcast. The hosts examined conflicting reports about whether McInnes was actually detained or if the incident was a publicity stunt, with Tim Pool drawing on his own experiences with police visits and swatting incidents to contextualize the situation. The conversation then shifted to the controversial FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, with Tim analyzing the heavily redacted affidavit that reportedly justified the search based on classified materials Trump had already turned over to authorities. Tim speculated about potential political motivations behind the timing of the raid, suggesting it may have been connected to fears that Trump might release damaging Russiagate documents before the midterm elections. The show also covered New York Governor Kathy Hochul's controversial remarks telling Republicans to go back to Florida. Additionally, Tim promoted the launch of TimCast Records' first single 'Only Ever Wanted,' featuring Pete Parada, the former Offspring drummer who was fired from his band for declining the COVID vaccine, positioning the music label as part of a parallel cultural economy for artists who feel censored by mainstream entertainment.

Notable Quotes
“Gavin McInnes doing his show. He's the founder of the Proud Boys and he runs censored.tv for those unfamiliar. He's doing a show and then he stands up and it's like he's talking to someone and then he says he'll get a lawyer and schedule something. Then he leaves. And then his show is just dead air for 30 minutes.”
— Tim Pool · opening story about McInnes arrest reports
“I think right now it is definitively FBI corruption. The affidavit, mostly redacted, basically said that Donald Trump cooperated by turning over 15 boxes. And within those boxes was classified materials. Therefore, they said, we now have reason to believe he's probably got more, so we should get to search his home.”

“We've been interrupted several times with the police coming here because we were swatted. And there are a lot of people claiming that we were faking it. And we weren't. We had like, you actually could see the police walk in the room the first time it happened.”
