So when I ask, what is Odoo.

Libby Emmons (0:02)

What comes to mind?

Tim Pool (0:04)

Well, Odoo is a bit of everything. Odoo is a suite of business management software that some people say is like fertilizer because of the way it promotes growth. But you know, some people also say Odoo is like a magic beanstalk because it grows with your company and is also magically affordable. But then again, you could look at Odoo in terms of how its individual software programs are a lot like building blocks. I mean, whatever your business needs, manufacturing, accounting, HR programs, you can build a custom software suite that's perfect for your company. So what is Odoo? Well, I guess Odoo is a bit of everything.

So this guy's running for AG in Ohio. He was a former state rep and it looks like he's not doing too well. Well, he's got a new campaign promise. He's vowing to kill Donald Trump. Not exaggerating. He's saying that as ag, he will sentence Trump to death for formally through the state, which is still just him campaigning on killing Trump. So I don't know what his point was, but he's certainly getting attention for it, so congratulations. In this hyper Internet reality, everyone so desperate for attention will say or do anything. He may as well have just said, please, for the love of all that is holy, look at my face, cuz it works. And we're talking about him and his pictures everywhere. Uh, and then we've got probably one of the saddest stories. Now, I know a lot of you deeply upset over the killing of Alex Preddy in Minnesota. It's a sad story nonetheless. But I'm sure a lot of conservatives say, well, you know, don't bring a gun to a cop, fight it Appears that Ms. Now is running a Photoshopped version of this guy to make him look hot, or at least hotter. Not. It's not a joke. They took an old photo of him, face, tuned it, gave him some muscle, widened his jaw, gave him a little bit of a tan. Some bi. This is absolutely insane. And, you know, I know it's deeply political and we're, we're analytical when we look at these circumstances, but I genuinely feel bad for this guy's legacy with how they're treating him by basically saying he was so ugly that we have to Photoshop his face and put it on TV because they don't want people to see what he actually looked like. OWSA man. Okay, well, we're gonna talk about that. There's, there's a bunch of other news. Uh, right now the question is, did Trump concede? And the funny thing is, liberal activists think Tim Waltz conceded, and many conservatives think Trump conceded. But Trump's diehard base thinks he won. He's not backing down. They're saying he's just restrategizing. Well, Tim Waltz called Trump and said they were going to work together. So leftists stormed his office furious, saying no surrender, which. Okay, we'll talk about all that. Before we do, my friends, we had a great sponsor for you guys. It is Crowd health. Go to joincrowdhealth.com and, and check it out, my friends. Crowd Health is.

Episode: "THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR w/ Tony Ortiz"
Date: January 28, 2026
Host: Tim Pool (Timcast Media)
Guests: Tony Ortiz (Current Revolt), Libby Emmons, Phil Labonte, Ian Crossland

Overview

This episode of Timcast IRL features Texas-based journalist Tony Ortiz and covers recent escalations in political rhetoric, government action, and media manipulation. Tim Pool and the crew discuss a broad spectrum of cultural and political issues, including a shocking campaign statement from an Ohio AG candidate threatening Trump, leftist versus right-wing organizational tactics, recent attacks and protests, and the broader implications for American society and future conflict.

Key Discussion Points

1. Ohio AG Candidate’s Controversial Statement

[08:16-11:40]

The Story: Elliot Forhan, Democratic candidate for Ohio Attorney General, publicly states he will “kill Donald Trump” using the legal system and capital punishment.
Panel Reaction: The group agrees this is an extreme example of attention-seeking and political escalation.
- “You can maybe get charges put against this guy. That’s all you can do.” – Tim Pool [10:40]
- Ortiz and Emmons draw parallels to other politicians like Tish James and Alvin Bragg who campaigned on targeting Trump.
Media’s Role: The conversation critiques media sensationalism and the ease with which such rhetoric becomes normalized.

2. Left-Wing Militancy vs. Right-Wing Disorganization

[16:13-22:34, 25:53-26:57, 33:01-38:12]

Leftist Organization: The group details how leftist activists organize protests and incursions, forming effective mesh networks across states, with legal and communication infrastructure.
- “The left is completely organized on every front. And the Democrats actually have a paramilitary wing and the right has nothing.” – Tim Pool [18:13]
Right Wing’s Lack of Network: Conservatives, they argue, are disparate, lack communication, and have more to lose.
- “I think part of that is that the right has more to lose… they’re business owners, they have families.” – Tony Ortiz [20:14]
- Churches and small communities serve as loosely connected conservative hubs but lack operational unity.
Actual Conflict Prospects: Tim is pessimistic about the right’s ability to win any organized conflict:
- “If it all went tits up tomorrow, conservatives would be holding an empty bag saying, ‘what do we do?’ The left would be… three steps ahead of you.” – Tim Pool [21:16]

3. Analysis of Violence & Media Manipulation

[29:08-32:12, 52:08-54:13]

The Alex Preddy Case:
- Preddy, killed during clashes with CBP, is portrayed in the media using a doctored "glow up" photo to generate sympathy and galvanize suburban women.
- “MSNBC gave Alex Preddy a tan, a stronger jawline, better teeth… Fact check: it’s real.” – Tim Pool [52:53]
Fifth Generational Warfare:
- The left utilizes ‘psyop’ tactics, baiting government violence to create viral recruitment tools.
- The infamous Occupy Wall Street pepper spray incident is cited as a catalyst for a national movement.
- “The tactic is ‘I’m not touching you.’ You must be perceived as the victim at all times to win public support.” – Tim Pool [45:05]

4. Encounters with Violence and Public Response

[38:05-41:06, 61:12-64:23]

Ilhan Omar Attacked:
- Omar is sprayed with an unknown liquid at an event. The incident is dissected for political motives and the predictable media narrative that will emerge.
- “No right-wing organizer would advocate for something like this. So then the question is, who benefits when you watch this stuff?” – Tim Pool [63:56]
Asymmetrical Reaction:
- The panel emphasizes how Democrats tend to circle the wagons and even celebrate violence against political enemies, while Republicans generally condemn such acts even against adversaries.
- “If you reversed the political leanings... the left would love this.” – Tony Ortiz [64:18]

5. Strategic Retreats and Trump’s Minneapolis ‘Pullout’

[59:58-62:00, 75:58-78:40]

Trump’s Decision on ICE in Minneapolis:
- The consensus is that Trump is retreating due to negative optics, lack of local support, or polling feedback.
- “I kind of view it as a retreat… but... I hope we go into more cities and we continue doing this.” – Tony Ortiz [59:25]
- “I want to wait and see what happens. I do think that... Kristi Noem's days are numbered.” – Phil Labonte [60:24]
Bureaucratic and Political Constraints:
- Details on Congressional inroads and EOs being undermined by local resistance and federal limitations.

6. Culture War, Demographics & The Coming Decade

[94:01-96:14]

Cultural Shifts & Population Collapse:
- Population declines and post-COVID economic effects are debated. Multiple panelists express skepticism about official narratives and statistics, suggesting more significant societal transformations underway.
Red vs. Blue Migration:
- Interactive Polls Census forecast shows Republican strongholds (like Texas and Florida) gaining Congressional seats as Democrat states lose population.
- “Texas Gains four new seats. Florida gains four… California is going to lose four.” – Tim Pool [94:43]

7. Societal Cohesion, Infrastructure & Open Borders

[115:08-117:49]

Dangers of Naiveté in Globalism:
- Stories are shared about Westerners naively exploring or moving to less stable foreign environments with disastrous results, highlighting American exceptionalism and the complexity of cultural integration.
- “We do have a false perception… values are earned… they don’t just happen naturally. You have to fight for it.” – Libby Emmons [117:30]

Notable Quotes & Moments

- “The left has organized insurgent networks that are on standby. The right doesn’t even have mutual aid groups the way the left does.” — Tim Pool [20:49]
On Right’s Predicament:
- “If you are not concerned about what we learned is going out with the insurgent groups in Minnesota and you’re sitting there saying, ‘I’ve got guns and I die for my family. Tim, you’re wrong.’ Congratulations. …But who are you with? Where are you going? Where does your water come from?” — Tim Pool [23:05]

- “This is fifth generational warfare that the left understands perfectly.” — Tim Pool [45:08]
