Timcast IRL #987 Illegal Immigrants ATTACK TX National Guard STORMING US Border w/Harrison Smith
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 987, recorded on March 22, 2024, featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the escalating situation at the Texas-Mexico border where migrants attacked Texas National Guard troops. Harrison Smith from American Journal on InfoWars joined the discussion along with Hannah Clare from Scanner News. The show opened with Tim discussing how Texas deployed armed National Guard to stop what he characterized as an invasion, only to have the troops come under attack. Tim argued that the only remaining options were deploying more National Guard or the Army to defend the border. The conversation shifted to New York Attorney General Letitia James's moves to seize Trump's golf resort and other assets, with Trump responding to keep his hands off his property. The main segment featured discussion of CNN footage showing migrants rushing a portion of the border fence while wearing masks, gloves, and glasses, tearing down barricades and attacking Texas National Guardsmen. Tim contrasted how CNN used the term rushing to downplay the situation, arguing it should be called a home invasion or riot. The panel debated the distinction between an invasion and an attack, noting photographs of migrants carrying rifles in the Rio Grande. Tim posed a poll question about whether troops should go to Ukraine or the border to defend Texas National Guard on a federal level.
