Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 659 featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing several major news stories on November 16, 2022, including the breaking news that Donald Trump would announce his 2024 presidential run. The show opened with coverage of a reported Russian missile strike on Polish territory that prompted NATO ambassadors to convene, with uncertainty about whether it was actually a Russian strike or potentially a Ukrainian anti-air missile malfunction. The hosts also discussed Elon Musk's continued layoffs at Twitter and a humorous incident involving Ligma and Johnson visiting Twitter HQ. Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement, joined as a guest to discuss Texas independence, the organization's lawsuit against Meta/Facebook over censorship, and his book Texit.

The show prepared to broadcast Trump's official 2024 campaign announcement at 9 PM Eastern, with co-host Ian Crossland filling in.
