Release Date: May 16, 2025
In this episode of Timcast IRL, host Ian Crossland delves into a series of explosive and controversial topics surrounding political figures, judicial overreach, constitutional debates, and speculative theories about impending global cataclysms. Joined by author and ufologist Tim Albarino and Congressman Eric Burleson from southwest Missouri, the discussion offers a deep dive into the current state of American politics and societal fears.
1. James Comey’s “86-47” Social Media Post
Timestamp: [00:16] – [13:38]
The episode kicks off with a heated analysis of a recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, who shared an image accompanied by the numbers "86-47." Crossland interprets these numbers as a potential threat towards former President Donald Trump, suggesting that "86" could be a coded message indicating the removal or even termination of an individual, drawing parallels to mob terminology where "86" signifies murder.
Notable Quotes:
- Ian Crossland [06:13]: "James Comey posted 86-47, that is interpreted as a death threat. And I doubt he'll get arrested."
- Mary Morgan [07:59]: "He's so playing dumb. Like, if he thought it was a political message and that the numbers meant something political, what exactly did he think 86 meant?"
- Tim Albarino [08:35]: "That's clearly what he meant."
The conversation extends to reflect on the polarized interpretations from both the left and the right. While some on the right believe it to be a direct threat, certain liberal personalities have also posted "86-47," suggesting a complex and multifaceted debate around the intent and meaning behind the numbers.
Timestamp: [11:18] – [13:59]
The discussion shifts to President Donald Trump's interactions with the intelligence community, emphasizing his outsider status despite attempts to integrate into the political establishment. Crossland suggests that Trump's distrust of traditional institutions led to adversarial relationships with figures like Comey, contributing to the ongoing tensions.
2. Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dug’s Judicial Immunity Claim
Timestamp: [32:35] – [35:26]
The episode transitions to the case of Judge Hannah Dug from Wisconsin, who faces allegations of aiding an illegal alien's escape. Dug asserts judicial immunity, a legal doctrine that shields judges from liability for actions performed within their official capacity. Crossland critiques this defense, arguing that her actions go beyond standard judicial duties and should not be protected under immunity.
Notable Quotes:
- Ian Crossland [34:15]: "As a judge, she has to tell people where to go and when to go. And she was saying, you go that way and leave."
- Eric Burleson [36:12]: "It's like these people have ruined their lives and their careers by making these decisions. This is a cult, man. It is a cult."
Burleson echoes the sentiment, drawing parallels to the Comey situation and criticizing the broader legal and political systems for enabling such behaviors.
3. Supreme Court Hearing on Birthright Citizenship and Universal Injunctions
Timestamp: [17:07] – [26:46]
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the Supreme Court's recent oral arguments on birthright citizenship and universal injunctions. Tim Albarino and Burleson discuss the implications of potentially revising the 14th Amendment, which currently grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the United States.
Crossland underscores the historical context, mentioning that the Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for over 127 years. However, the Trump administration's executive orders challenge this precedent, prompting intense legal battles.
Notable Quotes:
- Ian Crossland [18:08]: "The Supreme Court justices appeared divided on birthright citizenship arguments."
- Tim Albarino [26:11]: "Have a unique problem now that they didn't have back then, and that is that we have thousands and thousands of people streaming over the border, pregnant, to have babies here."
The panel critiques the judicial system's overreach, particularly criticizing the use of universal injunctions that prevent the executive branch from implementing policies without individual court cases. They argue that this grants disproportionate power to lower court judges, undermining the intended balance of powers.
Timestamp: [24:26] – [26:46]
Discussion extends to the practical challenges of enforcing or altering birthright citizenship, with Burleson questioning its constitutional basis and Crossland highlighting modern immigration complexities that the 14th Amendment doesn't account for.
4. Political Division and Judicial Overreach
Timestamp: [36:12] – [50:26]
The conversation deepens into the political implications of the Supreme Court's decisions, with Crossland and Burleson expressing frustration over partisan gridlock and the judiciary's increasing influence on national policy. They criticize the Democratic Party's strategies, suggesting a lack of coherent policy and an over-reliance on identity politics.
Notable Quotes:
- Ian Crossland [37:19]: "I don't see how Democrats muster up anything for 2028 because there's no message, there's no mission."
- Mary Morgan [37:40]: "But do hate white men."
The panel also touches upon the legislative process, particularly the inefficiency of omnibus bills, which bundle multiple unrelated issues into a single bill, making it difficult to pass straightforward, single-issue legislation.
Timestamp: [49:03] – [50:26]
They advocate for more direct and transparent legislative actions, criticizing the current system for allowing obscure and unrelated provisions to undermine key legislative efforts like the Hearing Protection Act and the Short Act.
5. Technological Surveillance and Data Privacy
Timestamp: [41:19] – [43:53]
Shifting focus, the discussion addresses the pervasive technological surveillance embedded in modern life. Burleson highlights concerns over car companies tracking data, revealing that new vehicles transmit extensive personal information, including driving habits and even biometric data like weight changes.
Notable Quotes:
- Eric Burleson [41:19]: "People need to know that."
- Ian Crossland [43:07]: "Facebook can predict when a person will get up and go to the bathroom."
The panel expresses unease over the extent of data collection and its implications for privacy and privacy rights, emphasizing the need for legislative oversight to protect citizens from intrusive surveillance.
6. Speculative Theories: Pole Shifts and Alien Species
Timestamp: [50:26] – [123:59]
In a departure from mainstream topics, the episode delves into speculative and fringe theories about impending global cataclysms, including massive pole shifts and encounters with alien species. Tim Albarino presents the idea of a Type I civilization as per the Kardashev Scale, suggesting that humanity's lack of unified governance and technological coherence could make it vulnerable to catastrophic events.
Notable Quotes:
- Ian Crossland [69:05]: "Imagine going to like Thomas Jefferson and saying, you know that song you guys have about the shores of Tripoli? What if those people came here and had kids and then ran for president?"
- Tim Albarino [78:58]: "I seriously think that gold and Silver are fantastic."
The panel discusses ancient texts like the Book of Enoch, linking them to ancient astronaut theories and positing that historical descriptions of gods and giants are actually accounts of extraterrestrial interactions. They debate the plausibility of these theories, with Phil Labonte expressing skepticism while others remain intrigued.
Timestamp: [119:12] – [123:59]
The conversation further explores how ancient myths and modern interpretations might converge, suggesting that descriptions of celestial beings in religious texts could be misconstrued accounts of alien technology and interactions.
